[0020] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a structure of a flow meter screen plate testing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, a test device for a flow meter screen panel comprises a stage 1, on which the screen panel to be tested is arranged; a pressing plate device for pressing the screen panel to be tested is mounted on the stage 1; a control module 2, connected to a function test module 3, for issuing a test instruction to the function test module 3; the function test module 3, connected to the control module 2 and the screen panel to be tested 100, for receiving the test instruction issued by the control module 2, and outputting a test signal to the screen panel to be tested 100 according to the test instruction; a signal analysis module 4, connected to the function test module 3 and the screen panel to be tested 100, for collecting the test signal output by the function test module 3 and the execution signal fed back by the screen panel to be tested 100, comparing the test signal and the execution signal and storing the comparison result.

[0021] Specifically, the stage 1 and the pressure plate device fix the screen board 100 to be tested, so as to prevent the connection between the function test module 3 and the signal analysis module 4 and the screen board 100 to be tested from being loosened, resulting in poor data transmission; Among them, the pressing plate device is located at the upper end of the stage 1, and a accommodating cavity for accommodating the screen panel 100 to be tested is formed on the stage 1. The screen panel 100 to be tested can be placed in the accommodating cavity, and the functional testing module 3 sends a test signal to the screen panel 100 to be tested, and the corresponding functional components on the screen panel 100 to be tested perform corresponding functions according to the test signal. The signal analysis module 4 collects the test signal sent by the functional testing module 3 and the execution signal generated when the screen panel 100 to be tested performs the corresponding function, and compares the test signal with the execution signal to confirm whether the test signal is consistent with the execution signal, and then determines whether the corresponding functional components of the screen panel 100 to be tested are normal.

[0022] It can be understood that the control module 2 can control the function test module 3 to perform corresponding operations based on the manual instructions manually input by the inspection personnel or the preset instructions sent by the terminal to which it is connected.

[0023] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the functional test module 3 includes a switching unit 2-1, a voltage acquisition unit 2-2, a button test unit 2-3, a screen display test unit 2-4, a font test unit 2-5, a communication test unit 2-6 and a power consumption test unit 2-7; the voltage acquisition unit 2-2, the button test unit 2-3, the screen display test unit 2-4, the font test unit 2-5, the communication test unit 2-6 and the power consumption test unit 2-7 are connected to the screen panel 100 to be tested through the switching unit 2-1.

[0025] As an option in the embodiment of the present application, the adapter unit 2 - 1 includes an adapter board, on which a test probe is arranged, and the test probe contacts a test point on the screen panel 100 to be tested.

[0026] Specifically, the adapter board integrates the connection interfaces of multiple test units, so that the screen board 100 to be tested can be connected to the multiple test units through the adapter board, which facilitates data transmission and signal exchange between the screen board 100 to be tested and the multiple test units; the screen board 100 to be tested includes a circuit board, on which test points are arranged, and the test probes are in direct contact with the test points to obtain relevant electrical parameters on the circuit board of the screen board 100 to be tested.

[0027] As an option in the embodiment of the present application, the voltage acquisition unit 2-2 is connected to the screen board 100 to be tested, and is used to obtain the working voltage of the screen board 100 to be tested; the voltage acquisition unit 2-2 includes a first analog-to-digital converter.

[0028] Specifically, the voltage acquisition unit 2 - 2 acquires the working voltage of the screen board 100 to be tested, and the signal analysis module 4 compares the voltage with the voltage value of the screen board 100 to be tested in a normal state to confirm whether the circuit connectivity of the screen board 100 to be tested is normal.

[0029] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the key test unit 2-3 has a simulated hanging state and a simulated voltage stabilization state; the control module 2 is provided with a switching instruction for controlling the key test unit 2-3 to switch between the simulated hanging state and the simulated voltage stabilization state.

[0030] Specifically, the key test unit 2-3 is used to simulate the level change generated when the key of the screen panel 100 to be tested is pressed, so as to change the input level of the screen panel 100 to be tested. The key test unit 2-3 is initially in a simulated suspended state. When the key test unit 2-3 receives a switching instruction issued by the control module 2, the key test unit 2-3 switches to a simulated voltage stabilization state; after the state is switched, the signal analysis module 4 collects the output level and interrupt signal of the screen panel 100 to be tested, and compares them with the output level and interrupt signal in the normal state to determine the fault of the key part of the screen panel 100 to be tested.

[0031] The screen display test unit 2 - 4 is in communication connection with the screen panel 100 to be tested; the screen display test unit 2 - 4 includes a grayscale sensor, which is arranged above the screen panel 100 to be tested.

[0032] Specifically, the screen display test unit 2-4 outputs a level signal in advance to generate a brightness area on the screen panel 100 to be tested. The grayscale sensor collects the analog value of the brightness of the area. The signal analysis module 4 compares the collected analog value with the normal analog value to determine whether the screen brightness display of the screen panel 100 to be tested is normal.

[0033] In this embodiment, the character library testing unit 2 - 5 is in communication connection with the screen panel 100 to be tested; the character library testing unit 2 - 5 stores character library data.

[0034] Specifically, the communication connection method between the font test unit 2-5 and the screen panel 100 to be tested is an SPI communication connection. The font test unit 2-5 reads the specified characters of the font chip in the screen panel 100 to be tested, and the signal analysis module 4 compares the read specified characters with the font data stored in the font test unit 2-5 to confirm whether the font chip in the screen panel 100 to be tested is normal.

[0035] Specifically, the communication test unit 2-6 includes detecting Bluetooth and a photodiode; detecting the Bluetooth communication connection with the screen board to be tested.

[0036] Specifically, the communication test unit 2-6 sends test data to the Bluetooth on the screen board to be tested by detecting Bluetooth, and the signal analysis module 4 reads the test data sent by the detection Bluetooth and the data received by the Bluetooth on the screen board to be tested respectively, and compares the two data to confirm whether the data transmission between Bluetooth is normal.

[0037] Among them, the power consumption test unit 2-7 includes a current detection amplifier, a second analog-to-digital converter and a voltage-dividing resistor; the current detection amplifier and the second analog-to-digital converter are connected to the voltage-dividing resistor to collect the current value flowing through the voltage-dividing resistor.

[0038] Specifically, the model of the current detection amplifier may be INA190A4IRSWR, and the model of the second analog-to-digital converter may be ADS1014IDGSR; the current detection amplifier and the second analog-to-digital converter amplify and then process the voltage on the voltage divider resistor to obtain a more accurate actual voltage, and then divide the actual voltage by the actual resistance value of the voltage divider resistor to obtain the actual current value flowing through the voltage divider resistor. Since the screen panel 100 to be tested is connected in series with the power consumption test unit 2-7, the actual current value obtained at this time can be regarded as the actual current value flowing through the screen panel 100 to be tested. The single-board power consumption of the screen panel 100 to be tested can be obtained by multiplying the voltage value of the screen panel 100 to be tested by the actual current value.

[0039] A flow meter screen panel test device also includes a power module 5, which is used to convert 220V AC power into 24V DC power to provide a working voltage for the test device.

[0040] Specifically, the DC voltage provided by the power module 5 can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the test device to avoid affecting the detection accuracy of the test device due to excessive or insufficient voltage.

[0041] A method for testing a flow meter screen plate test device, comprising the following steps: Step 1: open the flow meter screen panel fixture and place the screen panel to be tested on the stage 1; Step 2: electrically connect the switching unit 2-1, the voltage acquisition unit 2-2, the key test unit 2-3, the screen display test unit 2-4, the font test unit 2-5, the communication test unit 2-6 and the power consumption test unit 2-7 in the function test module 3; Step 3, adjusting the position of the pressing plate device so that the test probe on the functional test module (3) contacts the test point on the screen board to be tested; Step 4, pressing the screen panel to be tested by the pressing plate device on the stage 1; Step 5, turn on the power and start the flow meter screen panel tooling device; Step 6. After the host computer is connected to the serial port, click the start button, the test device starts working, and waits for the test to complete (about 15-20s).
