[0033] Through the above technical solution, the electronic product to be tested is placed on the test carrier board 5 for fixing. Under the software control of the robot 2, the AGV chassis 3 automatically searches for the target charging docking station 1. When the robot 2 arrives in front of the target charging docking station 1, the infrared sensor and radar on the robot 2 cooperate to make the robot 2 automatically move closer. After the robot 2 moves closer, the robot 2 is connected to the charging docking station 1. The control module 4 will issue a command to connect the charging docking station 1 with the electronic product on the test carrier board 5, and then perform aging and compatibility tests on the electronic product.

[0034] Specifically, in one embodiment, regarding the control module 4, as Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the control module 4 includes a housing portion, a driver 10, a control board 11, a micro-motion detection switch 14 and a drive assembly;

[0035] The driver 10 , the control board 11 , the micro-motion detection switch 14 and the driving assembly are all installed inside the housing portion, and the driver 10 is connected to the driving assembly, and one side of the control board 11 is connected to the driving assembly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the electronic product to be tested is placed on the test carrier 5 for fixing. Under the software control of the robot 2, the AGV chassis 3 automatically searches for the target charging docking station 1. When the robot 2 arrives in front of the target charging docking station 1, the infrared sensor and radar on the robot 2 cooperate to make the robot 2 automatically move closer. After the robot 2 moves closer, the driver 10, the control board 11, the micro-motion detection switch 14 and the drive component are supported by the shell part. After the robot 2 is firmly sucked, the micro-motion detection switch 14 will be triggered, and the control board 11 on the control module 4 will issue a command to make the driver 10 work, and then let the drive component move, so that the charging docking station 1 is connected to the electronic product on the test carrier 5, and then the aging and compatibility tests are performed on the electronic product.

[0037] In addition, in the invention, regarding the above-mentioned drive assembly, as Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly includes a Y-axis motor module 9 , an X-axis motor module 12 and a Z-axis motor module 13 .

The control board 11 issues a command to move the Y-axis motor module 9. After it is fully inserted into place, the detection probe 7 will send a short-circuit signal to indicate that the plug-in is successful. At the same time, one end of the interface conversion head 23 will be inserted into the interface of the product under test, and the other end will be connected to the terminal device. The program in the product under test will automatically run for aging and compatibility tests. After the test of the first plug-in module 19 is completed, the control board 11 will issue a command to exit the Y-axis motor module 9 and move the X-axis motor module 12 to the next position. Similarly, after the test of 8 plug-in modules 19 is completed, the control board 11 will issue a command to move the test carrier 5 to the 9th magnet release position. At this time, the electromagnet release sensor 22 is triggered, the electromagnet 17 loses power, the robot 2 automatically detaches from the charging docking station 1, and moves to the next charging docking station 1.
