Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of protocol testing technology, and more specifically, to a testing apparatus for a separable distributed measurement device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, measurement equipment testing devices are either integrated and fixed or portable. Integrated testing devices have significant drawbacks, including strong coupling of functional protocol testing and difficulty in relocation. They cannot meet the large-scale testing needs of multiple manufacturers' measurement equipment during factory shipment, delivery, and subsequent installation, resulting in low testing efficiency. In addition, fixed-mode testing devices cannot perform testing on new types of measurement equipment without updating the existing equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above problems, this invention proposes a detection device for a separable distributed measurement device, comprising:

[0004] The parent detection platform monitors the access status of the child detection units, and the access status is used to determine whether the child detection units are connected to the parent detection platform.

[0005] The sub-body detection unit, after being connected to the parent body detection platform, controls the test control system installed in the font detection platform to test the measurement equipment through the parent body detection platform;

[0006] The sub-unit detection unit is equipped with a main control system. When the sub-unit detection unit is connected to the parent detection platform, the main control system of the sub-unit detection unit is disabled, and the parent detection platform controls the operation of the sub-unit detection unit.

[0007] Both the parent detection platform and the daughter detection unit are equipped with matching physical connection interfaces, which are used for the separation and merging of the parent detection platform and the daughter detection unit.

[0008] Optional, the motherboard testing platform includes: hub interface, connection clips, three-phase power source, data center server and communication server;

[0009] The hub interface is used for physical connection between the mother detection platform and the three-phase power source, data center server and communication server;

[0010] The connecting buckle is used to secure the connection of the physical connection interface;

[0011] The three-phase power source is used to provide power to the mother body testing platform;

[0012] The data center server is used to store test data of the sub-body detection unit testing the measurement equipment;

[0013] The communication server is used for data communication between the parent detection platform and the daughter detection unit;

[0014] Furthermore, the parent detection platform is equipped with a main control system;

[0015] The main control system is used to control the sub-detection unit to test the measurement equipment after the sub-detection unit is separated from the parent detection platform.

[0016] Optionally, after the daughter detection unit is separated from the parent detection platform, it can be independently connected to the measurement equipment and used to test the measurement equipment.

[0017] Optionally, the daughter detection unit is equipped with a test control system, which is used to detect whether the daughter detection unit is remotely connected to the parent detection platform.

[0018] Optionally, the test control system of the sub-unit detection unit is mutually exclusive with the main control system of the parent detection platform. The main control system of the parent detection platform has a higher operating priority than the test control system of the sub-unit detection unit. After the sub-unit detection unit is connected to the parent detection platform, the independent function of the test control system of the sub-unit detection unit is disabled. When each detection position of the parent detection platform is separated from the corresponding sub-unit detection unit, the main control system of the parent detection platform automatically separates the corresponding detection position of the parent detection platform.

[0019] Optionally, the hub interfaces include: a three-phase power control connection interface, a low-voltage terminal connection interface, and a communication connection interface.

[0020] Optionally, the sub-body detection unit has a replaceable bracket to adapt to different types of devices being tested, and the bracket has adjustable power and low voltage terminals required by the device.

[0021] Optionally, the sub-unit detection unit includes a hub interface, which is used to physically connect the sub-unit detection unit to the three-phase power source, the data center server, and the communication server.

[0022] Optionally, the parent testing platform can be equipped with multiple testing positions, and each testing position can hold a daughter testing unit. The function of the daughter testing unit determines the testing capability of that testing position on the parent testing platform.

[0023] Optionally, during use, some daughter detection units are separated from the parent unit and distributed at multiple detection points. After each detection point completes the detection, it can send the report to the data center of the parent detection platform.

[0024] In this invention, the parent testing platform and the child testing unit are designed to be separable, making the measurement equipment testing platform more flexible, easy to upgrade and modify, highly compatible, and easy to reconfigure. This greatly improves the use value and lifespan of the testing device. In the long run, it saves users the construction and maintenance costs of the testing platform and can meet the large testing needs of multiple manufacturers' measurement equipment during factory delivery, arrival, and subsequent installation.

[0028] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to fully and completely disclose the invention and to fully convey its scope to those skilled in the art. The terminology used in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings is not intended to limit the invention. In the drawings, the same units / elements are referred to by the same reference numerals.

[0029] Unless otherwise stated, the terms used herein (including technical terms) have their common meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Furthermore, it is understood that terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be understood to have a meaning consistent with the context of their relevant field, and not to be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning.

[0030] This invention differs from historical testing device designs. It employs a strong decoupling and IoT-based design philosophy, deeply utilizing software and hardware modularization to solve problems such as strong system coupling, difficulty in relocation, challenging testing environment setup, and low utilization of testing resources. This ensures protocol consistency and on-site operational stability of the measurement equipment. The invention consists of a parent testing platform and daughter testing units. The parent testing platform has multiple daughter testing unit access points. The parent testing platform only possesses the corresponding measurement equipment's testing function when a daughter testing unit is connected to the corresponding testing position. Once a daughter testing unit is connected to the parent testing platform, its independent operation function is disabled. The daughter testing unit gains independent operating capability after being separated from the parent testing platform, and its measurement equipment bracket is easily disassembled and replaced to accommodate different types of equipment.

[0031] This invention proposes a detection device for a separable distributed measurement device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0032] Maternal testing platforms, such as Figure 2 As shown, the parent detection platform monitors the access status of the child detection unit, and the access status is used to determine whether the child detection unit is connected to the parent detection platform.

[0033] Sub-body detection unit, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the child body detection unit is connected to the parent body detection platform, it controls the test control system installed in the font detection platform to test the measurement equipment through the parent body detection platform.

[0034] The sub-unit detection unit is equipped with a main control system. When the sub-unit detection unit is connected to the parent detection platform, the main control system of the sub-unit detection unit is disabled, and the parent detection platform controls the operation of the sub-unit detection unit.

[0035] Both the parent detection platform and the daughter detection unit are equipped with matching physical connection interfaces, which are used for the separation and merging of the parent detection platform and the daughter detection unit.

[0036] The system includes a parent testing platform and a daughter testing unit. The parent testing platform has all the necessary hardware functions for testing the protocol consistency of the measurement equipment, including: hardware support for the basic source, signal source, system control software, and daughter connection integration interface. The daughter testing unit is equipped with an integration access interface with the parent testing platform and an external source input interface.

[0037] The parent detection platform is connected to the sub-detection unit. The parent detection platform has multiple access points for the sub-detection unit. After the sub-detection unit is separated from the parent detection platform, that position on the parent detection platform no longer has the function of connecting to measurement equipment. The sub-detection unit is powered and uniformly controlled by the parent detection platform. After the sub-detection unit is separated from the parent detection platform, it has the function of connecting to and detecting measurement equipment.

[0038] The main detection platform is equipped with a hub interface for the sub-detection unit, a sub-detection unit connection buckle, a main control system, a three-phase power source, a data center server, and a communication server. The hub interface for the sub-detection unit is equipped with a three-phase power control source connection interface, a low-voltage terminal connection interface, and a communication connection interface.

[0039] The test control system of the parent detection platform has a monitoring function for each detection position, which monitors the access status of the daughter detection unit at each detection position.

[0040] The sub-body detection unit is equipped with all the weak electrical signal sources related to the measurement equipment testing, and has the function of independently completing the measurement equipment testing.

[0041] The daughter body detection unit is equipped with an independent test and control system, which has the function of detecting whether the daughter body detection unit is remotely connected to the parent body detection platform.

[0042] The daughter body detection unit has an independent test and control system, which includes a function unit for remote communication with the parent body.

[0043] Each detection position of the parent detection platform can be connected to the daughter detection unit via a hub interface, enabling the parent detection position to have the function of accessing and detecting measurement equipment;

[0044] The daughter detection unit can be separated from the mother detection unit and placed outside the mother detection platform, serving as an independent detection and measurement device;

[0045] The daughter detection unit control system and the parent detection control system are mutually exclusive. The parent detection platform test control system has a higher operating priority than the daughter detection unit test control system. After the daughter detection unit control system is connected to the parent detection system, its independent control function is disabled.

[0046] When each detection station of the parent detection platform is separated from its corresponding daughter detection unit, the parent detection platform test control system automatically separates the corresponding detection station of the parent detection platform.

[0047] Both the parent detection platform and the daughter detection unit are equipped with matching physical connection interfaces. The daughter detection unit is equipped with a replaceable test device bracket, and the replaceable bracket is equipped with adjustable strong and weak current terminals.

[0048] The sub-body detection unit consists of a hub interface, a bracket, an independent operation input terminal, a control unit, a remote communication module, and a sub-body detection unit compartment.

[0049] The specific implementation is as follows:

[0050] Scenario 1: In a scenario where all devices under test are being tested in a fixed location within a fixed site, with testing points scattered across multiple locations, a multi-point distributed testing approach can be implemented. In this case, some or all of the sub-testing units of the testing station can be separated from the main testing unit and deployed at the required testing points. After each testing point completes its test, a report can be automatically uploaded to the main testing data center for management. Alternatively, without affecting the original testing station's capabilities, additional sub-testing units can be added, enabling distributed testing with arbitrary testing capabilities and significantly improving efficiency.

[0051] Scenario 2: The sub-unit testing unit can be deployed at the manufacturer's premises before shipment, and equipped with remote monitoring and a sealing cover. After the sub-unit testing unit is installed remotely, it can perform operations such as testing and parameter preset on the outgoing measurement equipment. After the outgoing measurement equipment passes the test, the test report is sent to the parent data center and used as a certificate of exemption from inspection, enabling direct installation.

[0052] The multi-stage separation design of the device in this invention makes the measurement equipment testing platform more flexible, easier to upgrade and modify, more compatible, and easier to reconfigure its functions, which greatly improves the use value and lifespan of the testing device. In the long run, it saves users the construction and maintenance costs of the testing platform.
