[0044] In the following description, suffixes such as "module", "component", "assembly" or "unit" are used only to facilitate the description of the present invention and have no specific meanings. Therefore, they can be used in combination.

[0045] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementation modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides a power aging cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, a fixture input channel 2, a fixture return channel 3 and a fixture transportation device 4.

[0047] The cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of fixture docking positions, each of which has an electrical socket for docking with the fixture. The power supply to be aged is pre-installed on the fixture, and then the fixture is docked with the electrical socket of the corresponding fixture docking position, and the aging process of the power supply to be aged can be started.

[0048] The fixture input channel 2 and the fixture return channel 3 are both located in the cabinet 1. The fixture loaded with the power supply to be aged first enters the cabinet through the fixture input channel 2 to start its aging process. Once the power supply completes the aging test, the power supply is removed from the fixture. Subsequently, the unloaded fixture is guided to the new round of installation preparation area for the power supply to be aged through the fixture return channel 3, waiting for the next use.

[0049] The jig transport device 4 includes a lateral moving component and a vertical moving component. The vertical moving component is connected to the lateral moving component. The lateral moving component is used to drive the vertical moving component to move in the horizontal direction. The vertical moving component is used to drive the jig to move in the vertical direction. The jig transport device 4 can transport the jig to a designated jig docking position, or take the jig out of the designated jig docking position, thereby realizing the automatic transportation of the jig and improving the working efficiency of the power supply aging process.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the lateral movement assembly includes a guide rail 41, a slide 42 and a lateral drive member (not shown). The guide rail 41 is installed on the inner side of the cabinet 1 and extends in the horizontal direction. The slide 42 is slidably connected to the guide rail 41, and the lateral drive member is drivingly connected to the slide 42. The lateral drive member drives the slide 42 to move in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the fixture to move in the horizontal direction. The lateral drive member can be a motor.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the vertical moving assembly includes a stand 43, a lifting platform 44 and a vertical driving member (not shown). The stand 43 is connected to the slide 42 and extends in the vertical direction. The lifting platform 44 is slidably connected to the stand 43, and the vertical driving member is drivingly connected to the lifting platform 44. The vertical driving member drives the lifting platform 44 to move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the jig to move in the vertical direction. The vertical driving member can specifically be a motor. Through the joint action of the lateral moving assembly and the vertical moving assembly, the movement of the jig in the horizontal and vertical directions can be achieved, so that the jig can be transported to the designated jig docking position.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the fixture transport device 4 further includes a manipulator 45. The manipulator 45 is installed on the lifting platform 44, so that the manipulator 45 can realize lifting movement in the vertical direction under the drive of the lifting platform 44. At the same time, the manipulator 45 also has the ability to move within a certain range in the horizontal direction.

[0053] The manipulator 45 is used to push the jig to the designated jig docking position, or to take the jig out of the designated jig docking position. In actual applications, when the jig needs to be moved from the current position to the designated jig docking position, the manipulator 45 will first accurately grasp the jig through its positioning capability. Subsequently, under the coordinated action of the lateral moving component and the vertical moving component, the manipulator 45 will transport the jig to the designated jig docking position. After arriving at the designated position, the manipulator 45 will push the jig into the designated jig docking position, thereby completing the entire jig transportation process.

[0054] Similarly, when it is necessary to remove the jig from the designated jig docking position, the robot 45 will first locate the designated jig docking position, then grab the jig therein, and then transport the jig to the output position under the coordinated action of the horizontal moving component and the vertical moving component.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the power supply aging cabinet further includes an exhaust component 9. The exhaust component 9 specifically includes a fan installed on the cabinet 1. The exhaust component 9 can ensure air circulation inside the cabinet 1, achieve effective heat dissipation, reduce the temperature inside the cabinet 1, and avoid overheating during the power supply aging process.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the present application also provides a power aging device, including the power aging cabinet in the above embodiment, and therefore, also has the advantages of the power aging cabinet in the above embodiment.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the power aging device includes a power-on test cabinet 5 provided at the entrance end of the power aging cabinet, and the power-on test cabinet 5 is used to conduct a preliminary power-on test on the product on the fixture, and then send the fixture into the fixture input channel 2 of the power aging cabinet. The power-on test cabinet 5 can pre-screen power supplies with potential problems. Once the power-on test cabinet 5 detects an unqualified or abnormal power supply, a new power supply can be used to replace the defective power supply, effectively preventing the bad power supply from entering the subsequent aging stage, thereby avoiding the waste of resources and time loss caused by defective products participating in the aging.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the power aging device includes a monitoring cabinet 6. The monitoring cabinet 6 is connected to the electrical socket signal on each fixture docking position. Specifically, the monitoring cabinet 6 not only continuously tracks the operating parameters of each fixture and the power supply thereon, including but not limited to key indicators such as voltage, current, and power, but can also analyze these data in real time to identify any abnormalities or signs of deviation from preset standards. Once it is found that the power supply on a certain fixture has performance degradation, abnormal fluctuations, or potential failure risks, the monitoring cabinet 6 will mark the location of the problematic power supply, thereby facilitating the removal or replacement of the problematic power supply.

[0059] like Figure 4As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the power aging device includes a voltage test cabinet 7 and / or a hardware test cabinet 8 provided at the outlet of the power aging cabinet. Specifically, after the fixture and the power supply mounted thereon have completed the long-term aging test in the power aging cabinet, they will be transferred to the voltage test cabinet 7 and / or the hardware test cabinet 8. The voltage test cabinet 7 performs a final check on the voltage performance of the power supply product. It can measure and record key parameters such as the output voltage, current stability, and voltage fluctuation range of each power supply product, so as to accurately evaluate the quality of its voltage performance.

[0060] At the same time, the hardware test cabinet 8 is used to test the hardware functions of the power supply product. It can test the hardware such as the circuit board of the power supply product to ensure that the hardware structure and function of each product remain intact after the aging test.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the power supply aging device also includes a pickup station 10. The pickup station 10 is arranged at the exit end of the voltage test cabinet 7 or the hardware test cabinet 8, and the pickup station 10 has a good product pickup area and a defective product pickup area to achieve orderly diversion and classified storage of power supply products after testing. After rigorous testing, those power supply products that meet the performance standards and have reliable quality will be placed in the good product pickup area for subsequent processing such as packaging and warehousing. On the contrary, for power supply products that fail to meet the preset standards in the test, they will be classified into the defective product pickup area for further fault analysis, repair or scrapping.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
