[0067] In some embodiments, the automated accelerated degradation test system for capacitors of this invention uses aluminum electrolytic capacitors as the test object and a host computer as the control core. The accelerated test of aluminum capacitors is mainly accelerated by environmental stress and electrical stress. This test system can apply a DC voltage superimposed with an AC ripple current composite electrical stress to the test sample, and apply environmental stress by controlling the temperature and humidity of the environmental test chamber. At the same time, it can monitor the temperature status of the test capacitor. It can collect and record the capacitance value, loss / DF, equivalent series resistance / ESR, and leakage current / LC parameters of the aluminum capacitor during the test interruption interval.
[0068] In some embodiments, a schematic diagram of a channel conversion tooling circuit is provided for reference. Figure 2 It is used to connect, disconnect, and monitor the status of aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples corresponding to the temperature recording unit, leakage current recording unit, and static parameter testing unit.
[0069] In some embodiments, the channel switching function unit is connected to a test fixture disposed in an environmental test chamber, wherein the channel switching function unit adopts a relay group or a mechanical action structure, and the test fixture is used to place aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples, exemplarily referring to... Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the channel conversion unit circuit shown is provided. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The neutral and negative terminals are installed on the common busbar in the test fixture. All high-voltage circuits are connected with extra-soft silicone wire. The high-voltage relay and capacitor test leads are 15AWG (1.5 square millimeters), the AC / DC power supply is 7AWG (12 square millimeters), and other instruments are 18AWG (0.75 square millimeters).
[0070] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of the automated accelerated degradation experimental method for capacitors according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes, but is not limited to, steps S100 to S300:
[0071] S100: Obtain experimental test parameters and set the test equipment according to the experimental test parameters. The test equipment includes an environmental test chamber and an external power supply, a temperature recording unit, a leakage current recording unit, a static parameter test unit, a channel conversion function unit, and an AC / DC superimposed experimental power supply.
[0072] S200 acquires monitoring data of aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples, issues control signals for safety testing based on the monitoring data and preset test safety values of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples, and determines the testing equipment based on the monitoring data.
[0073] The S300 calibrates the status of aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples and equipment, displays it through an interactive interface, and issues alarms for aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples and equipment with abnormal status.
[0074] In some embodiments, a self-test is performed by the testing equipment, and the self-test results are reported. The self-test of the testing equipment includes the environmental signal of the environmental test chamber, the channel status of the channel conversion function unit, the power protection function of the AC / DC superimposed experimental power supply, and the temperature protection function of the temperature recording unit. The testing equipment is automatically adjusted according to the self-test results.
[0075] For example, refer to Figure 5 The flowchart illustrates the automated accelerated testing logic for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It involves setting test parameters, which are edited via a host computer software interface or imported and called through scripts. Then, based on the set parameters, the system sequentially controls the operation of equipment such as the environmental test chamber, channel conversion unit, AC / DC superposition durability test power supply, static parameter testing unit, and leakage current testing unit, while also controlling the process status and automatically acquiring parameters in real time. The parameter testing process requires the cooperation of the testing equipment and the channel conversion unit.
[0076] For example, the overall operation logic flow of an accelerated test for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is as follows:
[0077] (1) Before the test, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample to be tested is mounted on the test fixture and placed in the environmental test chamber. The test sample is connected to the corresponding interface of the channel conversion function unit through the lead wire.
[0078] (2) Turn on the power supply. Each unit will perform a self-test to ensure normal function. The operator opens the host computer software interface. The software system determines the connection status by communicating with each device. If the connection is normal, it will be displayed with a green light; if it is abnormal, it will be displayed with a red light.
[0079] (3) After communication is normal, the host computer software interface displays the control interface of the AC / DC superimposed test power supply, environmental test chamber, static parameter test unit, leakage current test unit and channel conversion function unit.
[0080] (4) The operator manually inputs various test parameters through the open interface of the host computer software. The software interface automatically generates and displays the test stress profile. When the operator controls the host computer to issue the test start command, the host computer software pops up a window to remind the inspector to confirm the test parameters. The system function self-check needs to be performed when the test starts.
[0081] (5) After the test begins, the host computer controls the AC / DC superposition test power supply, environmental test chamber, static parameter test unit, leakage current test unit and channel conversion function unit to operate, automatically collect process status and parameters, and display them in real time on the software interface. The data sampling rate can be manually set by the host computer. The temperature data sampling rate is 1 time / second by default, and the sampling rate of other electrical parameters is 1k / second by default.
[0082] (6) There are two conditions for stopping the test: the set test duration is reached or the monitoring index reaches the upper limit. If either monitoring index reaches the alarm value, the host computer will pause the test and issue an alarm. The operator needs to check and manually click "Continue to run" or "Stop running" to continue or terminate the test.
[0083] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6A schematic diagram of the automated accelerated testing process for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It includes: an environmental test chamber and external power supply, a temperature recording unit, a leakage current recording unit, a static parameter testing unit, a channel conversion function unit, and an AC / DC superimposed experimental power supply; it performs linkage control via control signals, sequentially including: after performing an AC / DC superimposed durability test on an aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample using the AC / DC superimposed experimental power supply, stopping the output and discharging, recording whether the discharge is abnormal; connecting the LCR tester of the static parameter testing unit to the test circuit via the channel conversion function unit, recording whether the LCR tester is abnormal; connecting the aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample to the test circuit via the channel conversion function unit, and sequentially recording the capacitance, loss, and equivalent series resistance (ESR) parameters of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample, and recording whether the capacitance parameters are abnormal; connecting the leakage current recording unit to the test circuit via the channel conversion function unit, and recording whether the leakage current recording unit is abnormal; connecting the aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample back to the test circuit via the channel conversion function unit, recording the leakage current parameters of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample, and recording whether the capacitance state of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample is abnormal; displaying abnormal data of the equipment status and test data of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor sample through an interactive interface.
[0084] For example, the linkage control process for automated acceleration of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is convoluted:
[0085] (1) Install the aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples A1, A2, ..., A10 on the fixture at the corresponding numbered positions, connect them to the corresponding interface of the channel conversion function unit through the lead wire, and place them in the environmental test chamber.
[0086] (2) Turn on the power supply. Open the host computer software interface and check the connection status indicator lights of each device. A green light indicates a normal connection, while a red light indicates an abnormal connection. If all lights are green, continue to the next step; if a red light appears, troubleshoot the connection fault of the corresponding device.
[0087] (3) Check the control interface of the AC / DC superimposed test power supply, environmental test chamber, static parameter test unit, leakage current test unit and channel conversion function unit displayed on the host computer software interface.
[0088] (4) Manually input test parameters through the open interface of the host computer software: turn on the constant temperature mode of the environmental test chamber, set the test temperature to 70℃, and the test temperature to 25-30℃; set the DC voltage of the AC / DC superposition test power supply to 450V and the ripple current to 3.75A; set the recording point interval of the temperature recording unit to 5 seconds and the over-temperature protection value to 100℃; set the test voltage of the leakage current test unit to 410V, set the upper limit of the test current to 20mA and the lower limit to 0mA, select the automatic range for the measurement range, set the charging test time to 300 seconds, and set the charging current to 0.5A; set the test frequency of the static parameter test unit to 120Hz and the test voltage to 1V. Refer to Table 1, the parameter setting table, for the test results.

[0090]
[0091]
[0092] (5) The software interface displays the test stress profile and the real-time monitoring status of each test device. Click the "Start Test" button on the host computer software, and then click the "Confirm" button in the pop-up window. After the test starts, the host computer controls the AC / DC superposition test power supply, environmental test chamber, static parameter test unit, leakage current test unit, and channel conversion function unit to automatically collect process status and parameters, and displays them in real time on the software interface. See the following for details. Figure 7 The diagram shows a comparison of the capacitance values of different samples.
[0093] (6) After 200 hours, confirm that the sample has returned to room temperature using a temperature recorder. Click the automatic test button for the leakage current test unit and static parameter test unit in the host computer software interface. After the software interface displays that the test is complete, the host computer will automatically save and output a report, such as the change report in Table 2. For a detailed comparison diagram, please refer to the table. Figure 8 The diagram shows the temperature changes of different test samples.
