Description

[0002] In the field of nuclear power, various control and monitoring systems rely on a large number of nuclear power cards to ensure the safe and stable operation of nuclear power plants. AI, AO, DI, DO, RTD, PI, TC, and IOP are the core components of nuclear power cards, and their performance and quality are directly related to whether the entire card can work properly. Traditionally, the PCBA single board inspection of nuclear power cards often relies on manual inspection combined with some simple detection instruments, which has many disadvantages. Nuclear power card PCBA inspections are all manual inspections of each point. Manual inspection is inefficient and easily affected by subjective factors of the inspectors. For example, mixed materials cannot be manually judged and misjudged, and the misdetection rate is high; and the PCBA single board of nuclear power cards usually has a complex circuit structure and high quality and performance requirements. Manual inspection is difficult to fully and accurately detect problems such as small short circuits, multi-way welding, Flash chip damage, EPROM damage, open circuits, and some potential poor performance of components, mixed materials cannot be manually judged, and MCU and FPGA program burning is complicated. Because there are many communication protocols and they are private protocols, existing equipment cannot test communication functions, test data records need to be manually written in reports, and cannot be mass-produced. In addition, with the continuous expansion of the scale of nuclear power plant construction, the demand for nuclear power card parts is increasing, and traditional detection methods are difficult to meet the actual needs of fast, efficient and accurate detection. Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, this application proposes a nuclear power card PCBA single board automatic detection device. Summary of the invention
