Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of relay testing equipment, and in particular relates to a multi-type multi-channel relay performance tester. Background Art

[0002] A relay is an electrical control device. When the change of the input quantity (excitation quantity) reaches the specified requirements, it causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity in the electrical output circuit. It takes over the interactive relationship between the control system loop (also called the input loop) and the controlled system loop (also called the output loop). It is usually used in automated control circuits. It is actually an "automatic switch" that uses a small current to control the operation of a large current. It plays the role of automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit conversion in the circuit. It is widely used in remote control, telemetry, communication, automatic control, mechatronics, and power electronic equipment. It is one of the most important control components, and its performance is directly related to the reliability of the system.

[0003] Since the relay plays the role of "automatic switch" in the control circuit, whether the relay works well and whether the switch action is correct is directly related to whether the control action can achieve the control target. If the relay works poorly, it may lead to control failure or wrong control, which may cause quality accidents at the least and major safety accidents at the worst.

[0004] Currently, most relay testing equipment on the market only tests single-type, single-channel relays. This testing method is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of simultaneous testing of multiple types of multi-channel relays, especially during mass production and quality inspection.
