[0002] The toner chip is an electronic component installed on the toner cartridge, also known as the photosensitive drum, of a laser printer or multifunction printer. It is mainly responsible for communicating with the printer, recording and providing toner cartridge status information, such as the remaining toner amount, number of uses, and other data.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent (CN102156400A) discloses a batch detection device and method for toner cartridge chips. The chip adapter card holder can set the number of toner cartridge chips to be detected and fix the toner cartridge chips; the relay array module is used as a selection switch for the electrical connection between the laser printer and the toner cartridge chip; the main control module can realize various signal acquisition of the printer, relay control and save the chip detection status. The device can be used to realize batch detection of toner cartridge chips of more than two units. The device and method provided by the present invention can reduce the labor intensity of workshop workers and improve the speed and efficiency of toner cartridge chip detection during toner cartridge production.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the relays in the relay array module are controlled by the main control module to be switched on one by one, so that the laser printer can detect each cartridge chip one by one. However, this detection method also requires a laser printer to detect multiple chips one by one, and the detection efficiency is low. Therefore, a method for batch detection of cartridge chips is provided. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for batch testing of cartridge chips to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

If the results are consistent, the test is terminated. If the results are inconsistent, analyze the reasons and improve the virtualization and simulation environment. S10: Repeat the detection, repeat the above detection steps S4 to S9 until all the toner cartridge chips to be detected have completed the detection.

[0007] Preferably, in S2, when building a virtualized environment, multiple virtual printer instance detection nodes are created, and the toner cartridge chip detection task is decomposed into multiple subtasks, which are function testing, performance testing, and compatibility testing.

Step 4: Removal and replacement: Remove the tested drum chip from the chip adapter holder and insert a new drum chip to be tested, ready for the next round of testing, and repeat until the spot check is completed.

[0013] Preferably, S9, when comparing the results, the performance and quality of the detection software are evaluated by comparing the simulation test results and the actual detection results. Through simulation testing, the bottlenecks and problems in the detection process are discovered. By adjusting the detection parameters and optimizing the detection algorithm, the detection efficiency and accuracy are improved, and optimization and improvement are performed.

[0014] Before testing the S4 chip, a detailed test plan is developed to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test.

In S2, when building a virtualized environment, each subtask is assigned to multiple virtual printer instance detection nodes, each virtual printer instance detection node performs detection independently, and the detection results are aggregated to the main node for unified processing.

[0021] A master node is set up in the virtualized environment to receive and process the test results from each virtual printer instance detection node.

Each subtask is assigned to multiple virtual printer instance detection nodes. Each virtual printer instance detection node executes its assigned subtask independently, so that multiple detection tasks can be processed in parallel to improve detection efficiency. Through virtualization technology, virtual printer instance detection nodes can be easily increased or decreased to adapt to detection tasks of different sizes.

The main control module controls the relays in the relay array module to be selected one by one, so that the laser printer can detect each toner cartridge chip one by one; Step 3: Result storage and display. After each test is completed, the main control module collects the test results returned by the laser printer and stores them. When the test of all cartridge chips is completed, the main control module sends the stored test results to the chip status display module and displays them through the LED array so that the operator can view the test status of each chip. Step 4: Removal and replacement: Remove the tested drum chip from the chip adapter holder and insert a new drum chip to be tested, ready for the next round of testing, and repeat until the spot check is completed.

Through simulation testing, find the bottlenecks and problems in the detection process, adjust the detection parameters, optimize the detection algorithm, and improve the detection efficiency and accuracy. After completing the preliminary inspection, that is, after the S9 step, but before the final completion of all chip inspections, optimize and adjust the detection plan based on the problems found in the detection process, the comparison of the results of the actual spot check, and the feedback from customers or the market. This may include adjusting the test parameters, adding new test items, optimizing the test process, etc.

[0027] Before testing the S4 chip, a detailed test plan should be developed to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test. This includes determining specific test steps, test data, expected results, test environment configuration, instructions for using test tools, etc. The test plan should cover all key test scenarios and conditions to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test.

[0028] S10 repeats the test. After all the toner cartridge chips to be tested have been tested, a detailed test report is compiled based on the test data and analysis results. The test report should include the test purpose, test environment, test method, test results, problem records, improvement measures and suggestions.
