[0081] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an edge intelligent controller verification platform, including a controller testing device 2, a controller loading device 1, a controller unloading device 3 and an installation device.

[0082] The edge intelligent controller verification platform provided by the embodiment of the present invention completes the loading and unloading transfer of the controller 5 through the controller loading device and the controller unloading device 3, and connects the controller 5 transferred to the entrance of the controller testing device 2 with the testing port 2.8 through the installation device, so as to facilitate the controller testing device 2 to test the controller 5 and facilitate the testing of the controller.

[0083] Among them, the controller 5 can be an edge intelligent controller or other types of controllers. The testing port 2.8 is preferably a controller slot.

[0084] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the installation device includes a workbench bottom plate 2.14, a controller gripper 2.3, a rotation drive mechanism, and a pushing and connecting mechanism. The controller gripper 2.3 is used to pick up and place the controller 5. It can be understood that in order to avoid the controller gripper 2.3 blocking the test port 2.8, it is preferably to pick up the controller 5 on the side of the controller 5 facing away from its test port 2.8 by the controller gripper 2.3. The rotation drive mechanism is arranged on the workbench bottom plate 2.14, and the drive end of the rotation drive mechanism is connected to the body of the controller gripper 2.3. The rotation drive mechanism has a first state and a second state; in the first state, the controller gripper 2.3 can pick up and place the controller 5 at the entrance of the controller test device 2; in the second state, the connection hole of the controller 5 clamped by the controller gripper 2.3 faces the test port 2.8. Among them, the first state is the pick-up and placement state of the controller 5, and the second state is the connection state to be connected of the controller 5. The pushing and connecting mechanism is arranged on the workbench bottom plate 2.14, and the pushing and connecting mechanism can push the controller 5 with the connection hole facing the test port 2.8 to approach and connect to the test port 2.8.

The body of the rotating shaft motor 2.1 is relatively fixed to the workbench bottom plate 2.14; the rotating shaft 2.2 is connected to the drive end of the rotating shaft motor 2.1, the rotating shaft 2.2 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the body of the controller gripper 2.3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2.2. Through the above settings, the rotating drive mechanism has a first state and a second state, and during the switching process, the rotating shaft motor 2.1 drives the rotating shaft 2.2 to rotate 180°.

[0087] Specifically, after transporting the controller 5 to the entrance of the controller test device 2, the rotating shaft motor 2.1 drives the rotating shaft 2.2 to rotate counterclockwise by 180°, and at the same time drives the gripper of the controller gripper 2.3 to insert into both sides of the controller 5; after the controller gripper 2.3 clamps tightly, under the drive of the clockwise rotation of the rotating shaft motor 2.1, the controller 5 at the entrance of the controller test device 2 is rotationally installed at the pushing and connecting mechanism, and the pushing and connecting mechanism pushes the controller 5 to approach the test port 2.8 and connect to the test port 2.8 to start the test.

The horizontal moving mechanism 2.15 is arranged on the workbench bottom plate 2.14, and the horizontal moving mechanism 2.15 has a first slider for carrying the controller 5; the pressing structure is used to press the controller 5 against the first slider. This ensures the stability of the controller 5 during the connection process between the controller 5 and the test port 2.8.

[0091] Alternatively, the pushing and connecting mechanism can be directly set as a pushing cylinder, and the cylinder end of the pushing cylinder directly pushes the controller 5 to be connected to the test port 2.8.

[0092] Among them, the pressing structure includes: a locking drive device 2.4 arranged perpendicular to the workbench bottom plate 2.14; a horizontal sliding mechanism 2.10 parallel to the extending direction of the horizontal moving mechanism 2.15, and the second slider of the horizontal sliding mechanism 2.10 is fixedly connected to the body of the locking drive device 2.4; a locking pressing plate 2.5 arranged at the driving end of the locking drive device 2.4, and one side of the locking pressing plate 2.5 facing the workbench bottom plate 2.14 has a pressing portion 2.6 for pressing the controller 5 located on the first slider. To avoid damaging the controller 5, the pressing portion 2.6 is preferably a locking rubber gasket.

Among them, the locking drive device 2.4 and the locking pressing plate 2.5 adopt a gantry structure and move synchronously with the controller 5 through the horizontal sliding mechanism 2.10 (two-row screw slider horizontal moving stage).

[0096] In the edge intelligent controller verification platform provided by the embodiment of the present invention, there is also a guiding structure 2.7 provided corresponding to the test port 2.8 for guiding the connection between the controller 5 and the test port 2.8. By setting the guiding structure 2.7, it is more convenient to guide the alignment between the controller 5 and the test port 2.8.

[0097] Such as Figure 5As shown in the figure, the guiding structure 2.7 includes a guiding backplane 2.7.1, a first side guiding piece 2.7.2 and a second side guiding piece 2.7.3 arranged on the guiding backplane 2.7.1.

Through the controller conveyor belt device 4, the separation of the controller feeding device 1, the controller testing device 2 and the controller discharging device 3 is realized, which is convenient for the controller feeding device 1, the controller testing device 2 and the controller discharging device 3 to work simultaneously, and further improves the testing efficiency.

[0099] Among them, the conveyor belt driving device 4.1 includes a power motor 4.1.1, a harmonic reducer gearbox 4.1.2, a belt transmission box 4.1.3, a synchronous pulley shaft 4.1.4 and a tensioning rod 4.1.5. The power motor 4.1.1 outputs power coaxially with the harmonic reducer gearbox 4.1.2, and then transmits the power to the synchronous pulley shaft 4.1.4 through the synchronous belt in the belt transmission box 4.1.3.

[0100] The tensioning rod 4.1.5 can realize the front and back adjustment of the synchronous pulley shaft 4.1.4 through the adjustment of the front and back positions, so as to realize the tensioning of the driving conveyor belt 4.2.

[0101] In order to facilitate the transmission of the controller 5 and avoid the wear of the controller 5 during the transmission process, the edge intelligent controller verification platform further includes a controller tray 6 that can move along the transmission direction of the controller conveyor belt device 4; the controller tray 6 can be transmitted from the output end of the controller feeding device 1 to the feeding station and can be transmitted from the discharging station to the input end of the controller discharging device 3.
