[0002] When using connectors to test the object under test, if the lifespan of the connectors is not estimated and they are only replaced when they fail, the entire testing equipment needs to be troubleshooted before replacement. This process involves analyzing the faulty components to pinpoint the connector problem and then replacing it. This replacement process is very time-consuming and reduces testing efficiency. Another scenario involves setting a fixed number of uses for the connectors and replacing them after that number. However, often this number is only a manufacturer-provided reference number of plug-in / plug-out cycles. Such replacements result in many connectors being rendered unusable before they are actually damaged, leading to wasted testing costs.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] Figure 1 This invention provides a flowchart of a connector remaining life prediction model training method according to Embodiment 1. This embodiment is applicable to situations where connectors are tested during the testing process to facilitate replacement. The method can be executed by a connector remaining life prediction model training device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. This device can be configured in a mobile terminal, PC, or server. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0060] S110. Obtain each sample connector used for model training and determine the historical test data of each connector during the connection test process.

[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, the connector can be understood as a basic electrical component used for the transmission and control of electrical signals, as well as for electrical connections between various electrical devices. Specifically, the connector can be connected to the interface of the object under test, thereby enabling testing of the object under test. For example, when the object under test is a battery, the connector is connected to the battery's interface to enable battery testing.

[0062] Specifically, by using connectors that have reached the end of their service life during historical testing as training samples, and by determining the corresponding training data from historical test data, a connector remaining life prediction model is trained based on this training data. This results in a well-trained connector remaining life prediction model that can accurately predict the remaining lifespan of connectors, allowing for timely replacement without waste and improving testing efficiency. The reason for choosing connectors that have reached the end of their service life as training samples is that the number of tests conducted on these connectors can be directly obtained, representing their total service life, and used as one of the training sample data points to train the model, resulting in a well-trained connector remaining life prediction model.

[0063] It should be noted that during the testing of the object under test based on the connector, each connection generates test data for that connection test. Specifically, the current test data includes the test result, which can be either normal or abnormal. Optionally, during subsequent tests, if the current test result is normal, the next connection test is performed; conversely, if the test result is abnormal, it indicates that the current connector is unusable and cannot be tested again, requiring replacement. Optionally, test data from multiple tests can be used as the historical test data for the current connector.

[0064] In this embodiment, the historical test data includes the number of times the sample connector was tested, the test results, the test video data, and the contact direction and contact force between the connector and the object under test during the testing process. It should be explained that the historical test data includes the test results, test video data, and the contact direction and contact force between the connector and the object under test for each test.

[0065] Optionally, methods for obtaining historical test data may include: acquiring the number of tests and test results of the sample connector during the test process based on preset test data collection; acquiring test video data of the sample connector during the test process based on preset camera devices; and acquiring the contact direction and contact force between the connector and the test object during the test process based on preset sensors.

[0066] See details Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram for collecting test data from connectors during the testing process. Specifically, Figure 2 The computer testing software communicates with the sample connector to collect the number of tests and test results of the sample connector during the testing process. Optionally, the computer testing software includes a test count plugin and a test result acquisition plugin. The test count plugin is used to count the total number of tests for the current sample connector and the test rank of a specific test; the test result acquisition plugin is used to obtain the test results of any number of connector tests.

[0067] Specifically, Figure 2 It also includes a camera to capture the plug-in operations of testers, forming test video data, and sending the collected test video data to computer testing software so that sample training data can be generated later based on the test time when the current plug-in is used as a training sample.

[0068] Specifically, Figure 2The system also includes preset sensors for collecting the contact direction and contact force between the connector and the test object during the test. Optionally, the sensors include a pressure sensor and an attitude sensor; the pressure sensor and attitude sensor are respectively placed inside the sample connector; correspondingly, the method for collecting the contact direction and contact force between the connector and the test object during the test based on the preset sensors may include: collecting the contact direction between the connector and the test object during the test based on the attitude sensor; and collecting the contact force between the connector and the test object during the test based on the pressure sensor.

[0069] Specifically, the sensor information parsing plugin performs signal analysis on the data collected by the pressure sensor and attitude sensor to obtain the contact force and contact direction between the connector and the object under test, and sends it to the computer testing software so that sample training data can be generated based on the test time when the current connector is used as a training sample.

[0070] S120. For any sample connector, determine the sample training data for the current sample connector based on historical test data.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the historical test data of the current sample connector, the test time corresponding to each test data in the historical test data is obtained, and the test data in the historical test data is associated with the test time to generate sample training data for the sample connector.

[0072] Optionally, the method for determining the sample training data of the current sample connector based on historical test data may include: obtaining the test time of each test performed by the current sample connector during the test process; and generating the sample training data of the current sample connector based on each test time and the corresponding historical test data.

[0073] Specifically, for any sample connector, historical test data generated during the historical testing process is obtained, and the test time corresponding to each test in the historical test data is determined. The test data corresponding to each test is then associated with the test time. Optionally, the test times are formed into a time series, and the test data are concatenated according to the test time series to obtain concatenated test data. Then, sample training data corresponding to the current sample connector is generated based on the time series and the corresponding concatenated test data. The effect of generating sample test data based on test time in this embodiment is that connectors with different usage durations have different remaining lifespans. Using test time as one of the factors affecting the prediction of the remaining lifespan of the connector can make the prediction model trained based on this as sample training data more reliable in obtaining prediction results.

[0074] S130. Based on the sample training data of each sample connector, train the connector remaining life prediction model to obtain the trained connector remaining life prediction model.

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the sample data of individual connectors generated according to the above implementation method, the remaining lifetime prediction model of the connector is trained based on the training data of each sample. Optionally, the training process includes: inputting the sample training data into the remaining lifetime prediction model of the connector to be trained, and obtaining the remaining lifetime prediction value output by the model; generating a model loss function for the remaining lifetime prediction model of the connector in the current iteration based on the number of tests and the remaining lifetime prediction value of the sample connector in the testing process; adjusting the model parameters of the remaining lifetime prediction model of the connector in the current iteration based on the loss function; and iteratively training the remaining lifetime prediction model of the connector until the iteration stopping condition is met, thereby obtaining the trained remaining lifetime prediction model of the connector.

[0076] Specifically, before inputting the sample training data into the connector remaining life prediction model to be trained, principal component analysis is performed on each test data in the sample training data to determine the influence weight corresponding to each test data. Optionally, each test data in the sample training data and its corresponding influence weight are input into the connector remaining life prediction model to be trained to obtain the model's output remaining life prediction value. Optionally, the remaining life prediction can be understood as the remaining number of times the connector will be used. Then, based on this remaining life value and the number of tests in the test data, an absolute value error loss function of the model is generated, and the parameters of the model under training are modified based on this absolute value error loss function. Subsequent iterative training is performed based on the modified parameters until the iteration stopping condition is met, resulting in the trained connector remaining life prediction model. Optionally, this connector remaining life prediction model is used to predict the remaining life of connectors in use.

[0077] The technical solution of this invention specifically includes acquiring sample connectors for model training and determining historical test data for each connector during the connection testing process; for any sample connector, determining sample training data for the current sample connector based on the historical test data; and training the connector remaining life prediction model based on the sample training data of each sample connector to obtain a trained connector remaining life prediction model. This technical solution generates sample training data by acquiring historical test data of the connector during the historical testing process, and trains the model based on this data to obtain a trained connector remaining life prediction model. This solves the problem of time-consuming and costly connector replacement processes in the prior art, achieving accurate prediction of connector remaining life and reducing time and cost during connector replacement.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments, this invention also provides a preferred embodiment for specifically introducing a training method for a connector remaining life prediction model. The specific steps of this embodiment include:

[0079] A pre-set data acquisition device is used to collect relevant data from the manual splicing process, including the direction, force, number of contacts, operation images, and test results. The design is as follows:

[0080] The orientation of the connector is mainly a process quantity, which is recorded from the moment the button on the connector is manually pressed. An orientation sensor (similar to an attitude sensor) is added inside the connector to monitor the orientation of the connector in real time.

[0081] The force applied to a connector is also a process quantity. The force is detected from the moment the connector is manually brought into contact with the plugged end, and the force is collected on the core inside the connector (similar to a pressure sensor).

[0082] The computer testing software is used to count the number of times connectors are plugged in and unplugged, and to obtain the test results of the plugging and unplugging tests.

[0083] Based on video data of connector operation during plug-in / plug-out testing captured by camera.

[0084] Its main function is to fuse directional data, pressure data, usage statistics, normal or abnormal test results, and video data of manual operations together in a time series, record them to form a database, and continue collecting data until the device is scrapped (using full-cycle data). Optionally, the above data can be used as training data for model training.

[0085] Optionally, before training the model based on the above data, the following preprocessing steps are included: preprocessing the collected data on the direction, force, number of times the plug-in was contacted, the test results, and the video data of manual operation. This mainly includes methods such as noise removal and missing value imputation of the collected data. Principal component analysis is then used to confirm the weight of each influencing factor, and the processed data is normalized to obtain the corresponding eigenvalues ​​and contribution rates.

[0086] Optionally, the model training process includes: processing the training and test datasets to ensure each sample contains time-series information; then dividing the training and test sets in an 8:2 ratio. Simultaneously, the training data serves as the model's input variable, and the remaining lifetime value is used as the expected output variable. A connector remaining lifetime prediction model based on a deep convolutional neural network (AlexNet) is established, using the absolute value error loss function as the model's loss function. During training, to improve the model's generalization performance and prevent overfitting in the AlexNet deep convolutional neural network model, L-type loss functions are used in the fully connected layers. 2Parameter regularization. The model is trained using the training set and validated using the test set. Mean squared error (MSE) is used to evaluate the model's accuracy. If the evaluation passes, the trained connector remaining life prediction model is obtained.

This method can be executed by a connector remaining life prediction device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. This connector remaining life prediction device can be configured in a mobile terminal, PC, or server. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0089] S210. Obtain the target connector to be tested and determine the historical usage data of the target connector during the historical plug-in test process.

[0090] In this embodiment of the invention, the target connector can be understood as a connector currently in use. Specifically, usage data of the connector during its use, as well as the corresponding time data, can be collected to generate historical usage data of the target connector.

[0091] S220. Input historical usage data into a pre-trained connector remaining life prediction model to obtain the remaining life of the target connector.

[0092] Specifically, based on the historical usage data of the target connector, this historical usage data is input into a pre-trained connector remaining lifespan prediction model to obtain the remaining lifespan of the target connector. Optionally, the remaining lifespan can be understood as the remaining number of times the target connector will be used in subsequent use.

[0093] The technical solution of this invention generates sample training data by acquiring historical test data of the connector during the historical testing process, and trains a model based on this data to obtain a trained connector remaining life prediction model. Based on the trained connector remaining life prediction model, the remaining life of the target connector is predicted. This solves the problem of time-consuming and cost-wasting connector replacement process in the prior art, and achieves accurate prediction of connector remaining life, reducing the time-consuming and cost-consuming process of connector replacement.
