[0063] The second signal conversion module 5 is used to convert the two HDMI signals into Type C signals, and the second switching switch module 7 is used to implement communication switching of the Type C signals output by the second signal conversion module 5;

[0065] In the prior art, display devices such as mobile phones, notebooks and computers need to be tested before leaving the factory. In the past, Type C double blind plug display device testing used computers, notebooks and mobile phones with Type C interfaces as devices for testing double blind plug. This testing method not only requires plugging and unplugging each interface and flipping the wire, but also has cumbersome test steps and low efficiency. In addition, it is impossible to perform programmable testing on the power supply capacity of the device. The equipment is expensive and the cost of large-scale testing is high.

[0066] In view of the above shortcomings, in this application, the main control module 1, the power module 2, the signal expansion module 3, the first signal conversion module 4, the second signal conversion module 5, the first switching switch module 6, the second switching switch module 7, the first Type C cable 8 and the second Type C cable 9 are coordinated to realize the video transmission test, the forward and reverse insertion test, the voltage regulation test and the power role switching test of the Type C double blind plug display A, avoiding multiple plugging and unplugging, convenient operation and high testing efficiency.

[0067] Specifically, a semi-automatic test circuit of a TypeC double blind plug display function of the present application is used as a test device, and a TypeC double blind plug display A is used as a tested device, and a first TypeC wire 8 and a second TypeC wire 9 are connected to the test device and the tested device. The signal extension module 3 is connected to the TypeC double blind plug display A through an HDMI interface, receives the HDMI signal source of the TypeC double blind plug display A, and expands the HDMI signal source into four HDMI signal outputs; the first signal conversion module 4 and the second signal conversion module 5 respectively convert two of the HDMI signals into TypeC signal outputs; the first signal conversion module 4 and the second signal conversion module 5 are each provided with two CC communication pins, the first switching switch module 6 and the second switching switch module 7 are double-pole double-throw USB analog switching switches, the first switching switch module 6 is used to realize the switching communication connection between the two CC communication pins in the first signal conversion module 4 and the two CC lines on the first TypeC wire 8, and the second switching switch module 7 is used to realize the switching communication connection between the two CC communication pins on the second signal conversion module 5 and the two CC lines on the second TypeC wire 9.

[0068] Specifically, after the first TypeC wire 8 and the second TypeC wire 9 are connected to the test device and the device under test, the main control module 1 sets the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire 8 on the first signal conversion module 4 to DRP mode through the I2C interface communication configuration. In DRP mode, the first signal conversion module 4 communicates with the external TypeC device, and can be used as a Source to supply power to the outside, or as a Sink to receive power. At this time, the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire 8 on the first signal conversion module 4 is controlled to enable external communication, and the second signal transmission path output by the second TypeC wire 9 through the second signal conversion module 5 is enabled and closed. Then, the display output data is observed and recorded on the TypeC double blind plug display A, indicating that the video transmission of the TypeC double blind plug display A transmitted via the first signal transmission path is normal. Similarly, it can be measured that the video transmission of the TypeC double blind plug display A transmitted via the second signal transmission path is normal, which will not be repeated here.

[0069] Specifically, the main control module 1 sets the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire 8 on the first signal conversion module 4 to the DRP mode through the I2C interface communication configuration, controls the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire 8 on the first signal conversion module 4 to enable external communication, and enables the second signal transmission path output by the second TypeC wire 9 through the second signal conversion module 5 to be closed; at the same time, on the first signal transmission path, the main control module 1 controls the first switching switch module 6 to respectively switch the CC tube of the first signal conversion module 4 to communicate with the first TypeC wire 8, to implement the process of positive and negative plug-in test, eliminating the steps of plugging and unplugging the typec wire. If different CC pins can communicate and output the picture, the positive and negative plug-in function is normal. Similarly, the positive and negative plug-in function test of the TypeC double-blind plug display A transmitted via the second signal transmission path can be measured, which will not be repeated here.

[0070] Specifically, the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire 8 on the first signal conversion module 4 is set as a discharge source; the second signal transmission path corresponding to the second TypeC wire 9 on the second signal conversion module 5 is set as a receiving source; at this time, the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire 8 on the first signal conversion module 4 is controlled to enable external communication, and the main control module 1 sets the first signal conversion module 4 to be able to communicate and select the voltage size of the power supply of the tested port; when the external device adjusts the voltage output, the first signal conversion module 4 at the test end will request the maximum voltage level output of the external device, and there is an ADC pin in the first signal conversion module 4 that can detect the voltage value of the voltage adjustment output of the external device in real time, and obtain the highest voltage level of the output of the first signal transmission path according to the voltage change value, and complete the voltage adjustment test of the first signal transmission path. Similarly, the voltage adjustment test of the second signal transmission path can be obtained, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] Specifically, the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire on the first signal conversion module 4 is set as the discharge power source; after observing and recording the display output data on the TypeC double-blind plug display A, the first signal transmission path corresponding to the first TypeC wire on the first signal conversion module 4 is set as the receiving power source. By first outputting a power supply diagram for the tested port and then powering the second port, it is determined whether the double-blind plug linkage function of the tested device is normal. If the interface of the first TypeC wire actively switches the power role, it is normal, and the power role switching test is completed. Similarly, the power role switching test of the second signal transmission path can be obtained, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] In summary, the present application provides a semi-automatic test circuit for the function of a TypeC double-blind plug display. In this solution, the signal extension module 3 is used to receive an HDMI signal source and expand the HDMI signal source into four-way HDMI signal output; the first signal conversion module 4 is used to convert two-way HDMI signals into TypeC signals, and the first switching switch module 6 is used to realize the communication switching of the TypeC signal output by the first signal conversion module; the second signal conversion module 5 is used to convert two-way HDMI signals into TypeC signals, and the second switching switch module 7 is used to realize the communication switching of the TypeC signal output by the second signal conversion module; the main control module 1 is used to realize the video transmission test, forward and reverse plug test, voltage regulation test and power role switching test of the TypeC double-blind plug display A, so that the present application avoids multiple plugging and unplugging, is easy to operate, and has high testing efficiency.
