[0002] The detection of the firmware version of a WiFi module is usually carried out in large batches. Although the detection process is simple, it consumes a large amount of time. The commonly used method for detecting the firmware version of a WiFi module is as follows: A device with a screen is used to supply power to the WiFi module, and the WiFi module sends the firmware version to the device with a screen for display.

[0071] S3: Control the receiving device to convert the electromagnetic energy generated by the changing magnetic field into electrical energy.

[0072] In the embodiment of this application, the receiving device is added to the PCB circuit of the WiFi module in the form of a receiving circuit.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the receiving device includes a receiving coil and a rectifier. The control of the receiving device to convert the electromagnetic energy generated by the changing magnetic field into electrical energy includes:

[0074] S31: Control the receiving coil to generate an induced current according to the electromagnetic energy generated by the changing magnetic field.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the receiving coil is placed in the changing magnetic field generated by the transmitting coil. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, an induced current will be generated in the receiving coil according to the changing magnetic field.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the induced current generated by the receiving coil is an alternating current, and the frequency of this alternating current is the same as the frequency of the changing magnetic field generated by the transmitting coil.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the receiving coil generates an induced current according to the changing magnetic field, which facilitates obtaining electrical energy based on this induced current to supply power to the WiFi module.

[0080] S321: Control the rectifier to convert the induced current into the direct current.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, since the induced current generated by the receiving coil is an alternating current, a rectifier is used to convert the alternating current into a direct current. Among them, the rectifier adopts a full-bridge rectifier circuit.

[0082] S322: Extract the pulsating components in the direct current.

[0083] S323: Control the filter to filter the pulsating components in the direct current to obtain the electrical energy.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the filter uses capacitor filtering. The direct current power supply processed by the rectifier usually has certain pulsating components. Therefore, a filter is used to remove these pulsating components to obtain a more stable direct current power supply.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the induced current is converted into a direct current, and a filter is used to filter the pulsating components in the direct current, thereby obtaining a more stable direct current power supply.

[0108] S512: Identify the normal WiFi module with a second mark.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, if the firmware version of the WiFi module is consistent with the preset version, the indicator light of the WiFi module is constantly on for prompting, indicating that the firmware version of the WiFi module is abnormal and the WiFi module is a normal WiFi module without abnormal firmware version.

[0110] The embodiment of the present application distinguishes abnormal WiFi modules from normal WiFi modules through different identifications, so as to quickly find the WiFi modules with problems in the firmware version among a large number of WiFi modules, improving the detection efficiency of the WiFi modules.

[0111] As can be seen from the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this specification, the embodiments of this specification control the activation of an AC power supply, which is used to supply power to the transmitting coil; control the transmitting coil to generate a changing magnetic field in the detection area corresponding to the group of WiFi modules to be detected; the group of WiFi modules to be detected consists of multiple WiFi modules to be detected; control the receiving device to convert the electromagnetic energy generated by the changing magnetic field into electrical energy; control the receiving device to transfer the electrical energy to the group of WiFi modules to be detected for power supply; detect the firmware version of the group of WiFi modules to be detected, and identify the abnormal WiFi modules in the group of WiFi modules to be detected.

[0117] S803: The rectifier converts the alternating current into a direct current.

[0118] In the embodiments of this application, the rectifier uses a full-bridge rectifier circuit to convert the alternating current into a direct current.

[0119] S804: The filter removes the pulsating components in the direct current.

[0120] In the embodiments of this application, since the direct current power supply processed by the rectifier will have certain pulsating components, a filter is used to remove these pulsating components to obtain a more stable direct current power supply. Among them, the filter can use capacitor filtering.

[0121] S805: The voltage regulator stabilizes the direct current voltage at the voltage level required by the WiFi module.

[0128] S809: If the firmware version of the WiFi module is inconsistent with the preset version, the indicator light of the WiFi module flashes to prompt.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present application, if the firmware version read by the WiFi module is inconsistent with the preset version, it means that there is a problem with the firmware version of the WiFi module, and the WiFi module is an abnormal WiFi module. By making the indicator light of the WiFi module flash, the abnormal WiFi module can be quickly locked among a large number of WiFi modules, so as to perform subsequent maintenance.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present application, a magnetic field generating device generates a magnetic field.
