[0002] Online water quality monitoring and analysis instruments are core equipment in water environment monitoring systems, and their operational stability and detection accuracy directly depend on the performance of their internal circuit boards. Currently, some domestic manufacturers of online water quality monitoring and analysis instruments have incomplete quality management systems, lax production processes and control, loopholes in incoming material inspection and calibration, outdated inspection methods, and a lack of precision testing equipment.
[0003] Existing technologies for testing circuit boards in water quality analyzers have several drawbacks: First, the testing efficiency is low, with most systems employing manual testing of a single circuit board, which cannot meet the high-efficiency testing requirements of mass production. Second, the circuit board assembly and disassembly are cumbersome, and the electrical connections are unreliable, leading to problems such as poor contact and signal distortion during batch testing. Third, the replacement of quantitative tubes and solvent filling are complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and are prone to solvent leakage, affecting the reliability of calibration and testing. Fourth, the circuit board placement components have poor adaptability, failing to flexibly accommodate circuit boards of different sizes and being inconvenient to handle, further reducing testing efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rapid batch detection instrument for water quality analyzer circuit board signals that can achieve batch, fast, and high-precision detection, and has convenient assembly and disassembly, accurate calibration, and strong adaptability, in order to make up for the shortcomings of existing technologies.

Detailed Implementation
[0046] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 17 This application provides a detailed description of a rapid batch detection instrument for circuit board signals of a water quality analyzer, but this is not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0047] A rapid batch detection instrument for circuit board signals of a water quality analyzer includes a cabinet 1, a control component 4, an optical path component, and a circuit board placement component. The touchscreen of the control component 4 is embedded in the outer surface of the cabinet 1, facilitating parameter setting, command issuance, and data viewing by the operator. The optical path component and the circuit board placement component are located inside the cabinet 1, enabling the generation and acquisition of optical signals and the batch placement and detection of circuit boards. A cabinet door 3 is provided on one vertical side of the cabinet 1. The cabinet door 3 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1 via hinges, allowing the circuit board placement component to be accessed by opening the door 3. A lock can be installed on the door 3 to ensure the safety of the equipment during operation and prevent accidental operation.
[0048] An observation window 101 is provided on the end face opposite to the cabinet door 3 for observing the operation of the optical path components. An openable top cover 2 is provided on top of the cabinet 1 for maintenance. The cabinet 1 is made of anti-static alloy material, and the inner wall has an electromagnetic shielding layer to effectively shield against external electromagnetic interference and signal interference between internal modules. The bottom of the cabinet 1 is equipped with a shock-absorbing base, using a combination of rubber shock-absorbing pads and a metal support structure to reduce the impact of external vibrations on detection accuracy. A heat dissipation panel is provided on the side of the cabinet 1, with a built-in cooling fan and temperature sensor, which can automatically adjust the heat dissipation power according to the internal temperature of the cabinet 1 to ensure long-term stable operation of all components.
[0049] The optical path assembly is responsible for providing a stable, calibrable optical signal to provide a standard input signal for circuit board testing. Its structure includes a mounting bracket assembly and a quantitative tube placement assembly.
[0050] The mounting assembly includes a mounting base 5, which is made of high thermal conductivity 6061 aluminum alloy. It has a square block structure with a black anodized surface for corrosion and anti-reflection. Internally, it has heat dissipation channels to quickly conduct heat generated by the LED light source 6 during operation. The mounting base 5 is integrally molded to ensure that the coaxiality error of each mounting hole is ≤0.05mm, preventing optical path misalignment.
[0051] The fixed base 5 has a central recessed quantitative tube insertion hole 501, one end of which is open. The quantitative tube 9 is placed inside the hole. The inner wall of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501 is lined with a wear-resistant insulating PTFE bushing to reduce friction between the quantitative tube 9 and the hole wall, while also preventing optical signal leakage. The inner diameter of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501 matches the outer diameter of the quantitative tube 9, ensuring that the quantitative tube 9 is coaxial with the optical path after placement.
[0052] The fixing base 5 is connected to a number of spaced light source mounting holes 502 on one side of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501. The axial direction of the light source mounting holes 502 is arranged along the radial direction of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501. The number of light source mounting holes 502 can be set according to the batch testing requirements, preferably 8, to accommodate the simultaneous testing of 8 circuit boards. The holes are evenly spaced, preferably greater than 20mm. Each light source mounting hole 502 has an internal thread on its inner wall for fixing the LED light source 6. The bottom of the mounting hole has a positioning step with a depth of 2mm to ensure that the light-emitting surface of the LED light source 6 is aligned with the center of the light path after installation.
[0053] On the other side of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501, several absorption photocell mounting holes 503 are connected. These absorption photocell mounting holes 503 correspond one-to-one with the light source mounting holes 502 and are coaxially arranged with a coaxiality error ≤0.05mm, ensuring that the light signal emitted by the LED light source 6 can accurately pass through the quantitative tube 9 and be collected by the absorption photocell 7. A reference photocell mounting hole 504 is also connected through the light source mounting hole 502. The reference photocell mounting hole 504 is arranged at a 90° angle perpendicular to the light source mounting hole 502, and a 3mm diameter light guide channel is provided between it and the light source mounting hole 502 for collecting reference light signals that have not passed through the quantitative tube 9.
[0054] An LED light source 6 is installed at the opening on the outer wall of the fixing base 5 via the light source mounting hole 502. The LED light source 6 is a high-brightness, low-drift, long-life model with a wavelength of 550nm, a power of 1W, and a lifespan of ≥5000 hours. The emitting surface is optically polished to ensure uniform light signal. An absorber photocell 7 is installed at the opening on the outer wall of the fixing base 5 via the absorber photocell mounting hole 503. A reference photocell 8 is installed at the opening on the outer wall of the fixing base 5 via the reference photocell mounting hole 504. Both the absorber photocell 7 and the reference photocell 8 are high-sensitivity silicon photocells with a response wavelength of 400nm-700nm and an open-circuit voltage of ≥0.6V. The photosensitive surface of the photocell is directly opposite the center of the light guide channel or the quantitative tube insertion hole 501 to ensure the accuracy of light signal acquisition.
[0055] The LED light source 6, the absorbing photocell 7, and the reference photocell 8 are all electrically connected to the control component 4. The control component 4 can control the LED light source 6 to turn on, turn off, and adjust its brightness. At the same time, it can receive the electrical signals transmitted by the absorbing photocell 7 and the reference photocell 8 and perform data processing and analysis.
[0056] The optical path assembly also includes a quantitative tube placement assembly, which is located at one end of the fixed base 5 at the open end of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501. It is used to realize the batch storage, automatic switching and precise pushing of quantitative tubes 9. With the modular quantitative tube design, it can realize rapid calibration and detection.
[0057] The quantitative tube placement assembly includes a placement frame 10, a servo motor 11, an electric linear module 12, and an electromagnet 14. The placement frame 10 has several clamping components arranged in a circular array around its center line. A quantitative tube 9 is clamped and fixed in the middle of each clamping component. One clamping component is coaxially arranged with the quantitative tube insertion hole 501 of the fixing base 5, ensuring that the quantitative tube 9 can be accurately pushed into the quantitative tube insertion hole 501. Preferably, there are 4-6 clamping components. If 4 are used, they correspond to 1 set of detection concentration quantitative tubes and 3 sets of standard concentration quantitative tubes, enabling rapid switching between multiple concentration solvents to meet calibration and detection needs.
[0058] The placement rack 10 includes a first rotating shaft 1001 arranged coaxially with its center line. The clamping assembly includes a first arc-shaped clamping plate 1004 and a second arc-shaped clamping plate 1005 arranged coaxially and at intervals. Both the first arc-shaped clamping plate 1004 and the second arc-shaped clamping plate 1005 are made of elastic insulating material, and anti-slip silicone pads are pasted on the inner wall. This ensures that the metering tube 9 is firmly clamped, avoids damage to the metering tube 9, and also provides insulation protection. Adjacent clamping assemblies are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 1003. The connecting plate 1003 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 1001 through a connecting rod 1002, forming an integrated structure. This ensures that when the placement rack 10 rotates, all clamping assemblies rotate synchronously and are accurately positioned.
[0059] The servo motor 11 drives the placement rack 10. The servo motor 11 is fixed to a bracket inside the cabinet 1, and its output shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 1001. It can drive the placement rack 10 to rotate around its centerline, achieving coaxial switching between different clamping components and the quantitative tube insertion hole 501, with a switching accuracy ≤0.1mm, ensuring optical path coaxiality. The servo motor 11 is electrically connected to the control component 4, and the rotation angle and switching speed can be set through the control component 4 to achieve automatic switching.
[0060] The electric linear module 12 is disposed on one side of the placement rack 10 and fixed to a bracket inside the cabinet 1. The sliding part of the electric linear module 12 is fixedly connected to the electromagnet 14 via a push rod 13. The electromagnet 14 is coaxially arranged with the quantitative tube insertion hole 501. The electric linear module 12 drives the electromagnet 14 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501, thereby realizing the pushing and resetting of the quantitative tube 9. The servo motor 11 and the electromagnet 14 are both electrically connected to the control component 4 and are uniformly controlled by the control component 4 to realize automated operation.
[0061] The arc of the first arc-shaped clamping plate 1004 and the second arc-shaped clamping plate 1005 is 60° to 120°, preferably 90°, which ensures that the quantitative tube 9 is firmly clamped while allowing sufficient operating space. The gap between the first arc-shaped clamping plate 1004 and the second arc-shaped clamping plate 1005 is used for the push rod 13 to pass through, ensuring that the push rod 13 can drive the electromagnet 14 to directly contact the quantitative tube 9 for precise pushing.
[0062] The quantitative tube 9 adopts a modular design, including a tube body 901 and a top cover 902. The top cover 902 is detachably connected to the opening of the tube body 901 for easy filling and replenishment of solvent. The top cover 902 is arranged facing the electromagnet 14 and is made of magnetic material, so it can be attracted by the electromagnet 14 to ensure that the quantitative tube 9 does not fall off or deviate during the pushing process, ensuring accurate pushing.
[0063] The tube body 901 is made of high-transmittance quartz glass with a light transmittance of ≥99%, strong corrosion resistance, and does not react with various standard solvents or simulated water samples, avoiding solvent deterioration that could affect calibration and detection accuracy. The dimensions of the tube body 901 are precisely matched to the quantitative tube insertion hole 501, with the outer diameter matching the inner diameter of the quantitative tube insertion hole 501. Each set of quantitative tubes 9 contains an independent tube body filled with one type of simulated water sample at a detection concentration suitable for the water quality analyzer's standard detection range and three graded standard solvents (0 mg / L, 50 mg / L, and 100 mg / L). After pre-filling, the tubes are sealed with the top cap 902, and the concentration, filling date, and expiration date are labeled to prevent solvent evaporation and contamination, enabling "ready to use immediately after replacement."
[0064] 1.1.1.1 The circuit board placement assembly is used to place several circuit boards 24 to be inspected, so as to realize the quick assembly and disassembly, stable fixation and batch electrical connection of the circuit boards 24 to be inspected. Its structure includes a placement cabinet 15, quick-connect aviation plugs 16, terminal blocks 17, circuit board brackets and snap-fit components.
[0065] The circuit board placement assembly includes a placement cabinet 15. The quick-connect aviation plug 16 and the wiring terminal 17 are both fixed on the placement cabinet 15. The quick-connect aviation plug 16 is electrically connected to the wiring terminal 17, and the wiring terminal 17 is electrically connected to the circuit board 24 under test, so as to realize the signal transmission and power supply between the circuit board 24 under test and the control component 4 and the optical path component.
[0066] The placement cabinet 15 includes a base plate 1501 and upright plates 1503 fixedly connected to the upper sides of both sides of the base plate 1501. The base plate 1501 is made of aluminum alloy sheet with an anodized surface treatment to ensure structural strength and corrosion resistance. The upright plate 1503 has a hollowed-out open window 1504 in the middle to facilitate heat dissipation and signal transmission of the circuit board 24 under inspection, while reducing the weight of the placement cabinet 15. The end face of the upright plate 1503 has several layers of threaded connection holes 1505 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The circuit board bracket is detachably connected to the placement cabinet 15 by fasteners, preferably bolts, passing through the connection holes 1505. The installation height and spacing of the circuit board bracket can be adjusted according to the size of the circuit board 24 under inspection to improve adaptability.
[0067] The base plate 1501 has insert plates 1502 extending downwards on both sides. The insert plates 1502 are integrally formed with the base plate 1501 and have the same thickness. The cabinet 1 is equipped with a snap-fit assembly. The insert plates 1502 engage with the snap-fit assembly to achieve quick positioning and fixation of the cabinet 15 inside the cabinet 1, facilitating the overall placement and removal of the cabinet 15.
[0068] A handle 1506 is fixedly installed on the side of the upright plate 1503 facing the cabinet door 3. The handle 1506 is made of metal and has anti-slip texture on the surface, which makes it easy for operators to hold and realize the quick retrieval and placement of the cabinet 15.
[0069] The snap-fit assembly includes a U-shaped baffle 26 fixed to the bottom plate of the cabinet 1. The U-shaped baffle 26 is made of stainless steel, and its opening faces the cabinet door 3. Pressure plates 27, spaced apart from the bottom plate of the cabinet 1, are fixed to the inner sides of the two opposite end faces of the U-shaped baffle 26. The pressure plates 27 and the U-shaped baffle 26 are integrally formed and are used to support the insert plate 1502 of the cabinet 15. The end of the pressure plate 27 located at the cabinet door 3 is an inclined plate 2701 with an upward tilt angle of 30°-45°, facilitating the quick insertion of the insert plate 1502 under the pressure plate 27 and serving as a guide.
[0070] The height gap between the pressure plate 27 and the bottom plate of the cabinet 1 matches the thickness of the insert plate 1502, ensuring that the insert plate 1502 fits tightly and without wobbling after insertion. The insert plate 1502 is inserted below the pressure plate 27, and the inner wall of the U-shaped baffle 26 abuts against the outer wall of the insert plate 1502, realizing the left and right positioning of the placement cabinet 15 and preventing the placement cabinet 15 from shifting during the testing process, thus affecting the testing stability.
[0071] The placement cabinet 15 is detachably connected to several circuit board brackets, which are used to detachably install the circuit board 24 to be inspected, so as to realize the quick installation and removal and stable fixation of the circuit board 24 to be inspected, and to adapt to circuit boards 24 of different sizes.
[0072] The circuit board support includes a support body 18, a polygonal rotating rod 19, a torsion spring 20, a T-shaped sliding sleeve 21, and a pressure plate 22. The support body 18 includes two spaced-apart support plates 1801, which are made of insulating and flame-retardant PC board to prevent short circuits in the circuit board 24 under test. The two support plates 1801 are fixedly connected by a U-shaped rod 1805 below, forming a stable frame structure. The U-shaped rod 1805 is made of stainless steel to ensure structural strength.
[0073] The end of the support plate 1801 is connected to the mounting plate 1804, which is integrally formed with the support plate 1801. The mounting plate 1804 has holes that cooperate with fasteners passing through the connection holes 1505 to achieve a detachable connection between the circuit board bracket and the placement cabinet 15, which facilitates the replacement and adjustment of the bracket.
[0074] The support plate 1801 has a recessed rotating groove 1802 on its outer wall between the two end mounting plates 1804. The size of the rotating groove 1802 matches the polygonal rotating rod 19 and is used to accommodate the polygonal rotating rod 19. The support plate 1801 is provided with a rotating hole 1803 that is connected to the rotating groove 1802. The inner diameter of the rotating hole 1803 matches the second rotating shaft 1901 to ensure that the second rotating shaft 1901 can rotate flexibly.
[0075] The polygonal rotating rod 19 is rotatably mounted inside the rotating groove 1802. The cross-section of the polygonal rotating rod 19 is preferably a regular hexagon to prevent rotation during the sliding of the T-shaped sliding sleeve 21. A second rotating shaft 1901 is coaxially fixed to both ends of the polygonal rotating rod 19. The second rotating shaft 1901 is rotatably inserted into the rotating hole 1803, enabling the rotational installation of the polygonal rotating rod 19. One end of the second rotating shaft 1901 extends out of the support plate 1801 and is fitted with a torsion spring 20. Both ends of the torsion spring 20 are fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 1901 and the support plate 1801, respectively. When the torsion spring 20 is in its natural state, it drives the polygonal rotating rod 19 to rotate, causing the pressure plate 22 to press against the circuit board 24 to be inspected.
[0076] The horizontal portion of the T-shaped sliding sleeve 21 is slidably fitted above the polygonal rotating rod 19, and its vertical end is slidably connected to a sliding rod 2201. The axis of the sliding rod 2201 is perpendicular to the support plate 1801 and can slide up and down along the vertical portion of the T-shaped sliding sleeve 21 to accommodate circuit boards 24 with different layouts. The end of the sliding rod 2201 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 22. The pressure plate 22 is made of insulating silicone material and has anti-slip texture on its surface. The pressure plate 22 is used to press and fix the circuit board 24 to be inspected, which is placed on the support plate 1801, ensuring a stable fixation while avoiding damage to the electronic components of the circuit board 24.
[0077] A driven bevel gear 1902 is coaxially fixed to one end of a second rotating shaft 1901 located outside the support plate 1801. A third rotating shaft 23 is mounted between the two support plates 1801, and the third rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1801. Both ends of the third rotating shaft 23 are connected to the support plate 1801 through bearings to ensure smooth rotation. An active bevel gear 2301 is provided at the end of the third rotating shaft 23, and the active bevel gear 2301 meshes with the driven bevel gear 1902 to realize power transmission. A handle 2302 is fixed on the third rotating shaft 23 and coaxially connected. The surface of the handle 2302 is provided with anti-slip texture. When the operator rotates the handle 2302, the active bevel gear 2301 and the driven bevel gear 1902 drive the second rotating shaft 1901 and the polygonal rotating rod 19 to rotate, compressing the torsion spring 20 and lifting the pressure plate 22, which facilitates the placement and removal of the circuit board 24 to be inspected. Release handle 2302, torsion spring 20 returns to its original position, driving pressure plate 22 to press the circuit board 24 to be inspected. The operation is convenient and requires no tools.
[0078] The cabinet 1 is equipped with a quick-connect aviation socket 25 that is electrically connected to the control component 4. The quick-connect aviation socket 25 is fixed to a bracket inside the cabinet 1 and is electrically connected to the control component 4, the LED light source 6, the photoabsorbing cell 7, and the reference photocell 8 of the optical path component. The quick-connect aviation socket 25 and the quick-connect aviation plug 16 are plugged and unplugged to achieve quick electrical connection between the placement cabinet 15 and the various components inside the cabinet 1, eliminating the need for manual wiring, greatly improving assembly and disassembly efficiency, and ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection to avoid signal distortion caused by poor contact.
[0079] Terminal block 17 is fixed to the upright plate 1503 of the placement cabinet 15 and electrically connected to quick-connect aviation plug 16. After the circuit board 24 under test is clamped in place, it is connected to terminal block 17 through wires to realize power supply and signal transmission of the circuit board 24 under test. Terminal block 17 adopts a standardized design and can be adapted to different specifications of circuit boards 24 under test, improving compatibility.
[0080] The control component 4 includes a touch screen and a main control module. The touch screen is embedded in the outer surface of the cabinet 1, and the main control module is integrated inside the cabinet 1 and electrically connected to the touch screen. The main control module is electrically connected to the LED light source 6, the photoabsorbing cell 7, the reference photocell 8, the servo motor 11, the electric linear module 12, the electromagnet 14, and the quick-connect aviation socket 25, respectively, to realize unified control and data interaction of each component.
[0081] Specifically, the control component 4 is the core control and data processing unit of this tester. Its internal modular design is clear, and the modules work together to realize the automatic calibration, batch testing and data management of the equipment. It includes the following modules and control logic.
[0082] The control component 4 is mainly composed of seven core modules: main control module, touch interaction module, signal acquisition module, drive control module, data processing module, alarm module, and data storage and export module. All modules are integrated on the same circuit board and realize data interaction through internal bus. The structure is compact and the operation is stable.
[0083] As the "core brain" of control component 4, the main control module uses a microcontroller as the main control chip. It has the advantages of multiple interfaces and high computing speed. It can simultaneously receive multiple signals and output control commands, and is responsible for coordinating the collaborative work of each module to ensure the orderly progress of the testing process. The main control module has a built-in watchdog circuit, which can automatically restart when the equipment malfunctions, improving the reliability of the equipment operation.
[0084] The touch interaction module consists of an embedded touch screen and a matching driving circuit. The touch screen is an industrial-grade resistive touch screen with a size of ≥7 inches, featuring scratch resistance, water resistance, and anti-interference capabilities, making it suitable for the harsh environment of industrial production lines. The touch screen supports a Chinese operating interface and can display information such as equipment operating status, detection parameters, calibration data, and detection results. It also supports operators to manually input parameters and issue control commands such as starting calibration, starting detection, and stopping operation, making operation convenient and intuitive.
[0085] The signal acquisition module mainly consists of a signal conditioning circuit and an A / D conversion circuit. It is responsible for acquiring the analog electrical signals transmitted by the absorption photovoltaic cell 7 and the reference photovoltaic cell 8, as well as the processed signals output by the circuit board under test 24. The signal conditioning circuit can amplify and filter the acquired weak electrical signals to remove external interference signals and ensure the accuracy of the signals. The A / D conversion circuit uses a 16-bit high-precision converter to convert the analog electrical signals into digital signals and transmit them to the main control module for further processing.
[0086] The drive control module includes multiple drive circuits, corresponding to the drive control of the LED light source 6, servo motor 11, electric linear module 12, and electromagnet 14, respectively. For the LED light source 6, the drive module can output a stable constant current drive signal to achieve a continuously adjustable brightness range of 0-100%, ensuring the stability of the light signal. For the servo motor 11, the drive module adopts pulse width modulation (PWM) control, which can accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the motor, with a positioning accuracy of ≤0.1mm, to achieve precise switching of the quantitative tube 9. For the electric linear module 12 and electromagnet 14, the drive module can output corresponding control signals to achieve the pushing, resetting, and adsorption fixation of the quantitative tube 9, with a response time of ≤100ms.
[0087] The data processing module has a built-in intelligent data processing algorithm with core functions including signal difference calculation, repeatability analysis, drift detection, and pass / fail determination. After receiving the digital signal transmitted by the main control module, it automatically calculates the difference between the absorbed light signal and the reference light signal, compares it with the preset standard threshold, analyzes the repeatability coefficient of variation of the signal (≤2%) and the drift (≤0.5% per hour), and then automatically determines whether the performance of the circuit board 24 under test is qualified. It also has a fault location algorithm, which can preliminarily determine the fault location of the circuit board 24 under test, such as signal acquisition unit failure or signal processing unit failure, based on abnormal signal characteristics such as no signal response or excessive signal fluctuation, and generate fault prompt information.
[0088] The alarm module consists of an audible and visual alarm circuit. When the equipment malfunctions, such as the quantitative tube 9 not being in place, abnormal light signal, poor electrical connection, or fault in the circuit board 24 under test, the main control module sends an alarm command. The alarm module emits an audible and visual alarm signal with a sound level ≥80dB and a flashing red alarm light. At the same time, the touch screen displays the specific alarm information to remind the operator to handle the situation promptly. The alarm signal can be automatically cleared by manual operation or after the fault is resolved.
[0089] The data storage and export module has a built-in high-capacity Flash storage chip with a storage capacity of ≥16GB, which can store at least 10,000 sets of test data, calibration data and equipment operation logs. The data storage time is ≥1 year and the data is not lost after power failure. It is also equipped with a USB interface to support data export function, which can export test results and calibration reports to a USB flash drive for easy data archiving, statistical analysis and quality traceability.
[0090] The control logic is as follows: S01 Initialization Phase: After the device is powered on, the control component 4 automatically starts the initialization program, performs self-tests on each module to check whether the touch screen, signal acquisition module, drive module, etc. are normal, and resets components such as LED light source 6 and servo motor 11 to ensure that the device is in the initial working state; after the self-test is passed, the touch screen displays the operation interface and prompts the operator to set the test parameters.
[0091] S02 Parameter Setting Stage: The operator inputs the model of the circuit board to be tested (24) and the test duration (range 1-30 minutes) via the touch screen. The signal threshold is preset according to the standard parameters of the water quality analyzer circuit board. The operator can manually adjust and calibrate parameters such as the light signal reference value corresponding to the standard solvent concentration. After the parameters are set, the main control module stores the parameters and issues a preheating command.
[0092] S03 Preheating and Calibration Stage: The main control module controls the LED light source 6 to preheat for 5 minutes to ensure stable light signal; at the same time, it controls the servo motor 11, electric linear module 12, and electromagnet 14 to work together to push the three sets of standard concentration quantitative tubes 9 into the quantitative tube insertion hole 501 in sequence. The signal acquisition module collects the absorption light signal and reference light signal corresponding to each standard concentration. The data processing module calculates the light signal difference, compares it with the preset reference value, automatically adjusts the brightness of the LED light source 6, completes the equipment calibration, and automatically stores the calibration data.
[0093] S04 Batch Testing Stage: After calibration, the main control module receives the testing instructions from the operator and controls the servo motor 11 and the electric linear module 12 to push the quantitative tube 9 of the detection concentration to the designated position; at the same time, it controls the LED light source 6 to continuously output a stable light signal, and the signal acquisition module synchronously acquires the electrical signals of the absorbing photocell 7, the reference photocell 8 and the circuit board 24 under test, and transmits them to the data processing module for analysis; during the testing process, the main control module monitors the operating status of each component in real time, and if any abnormality occurs, it immediately activates the alarm module and stops the testing.
[0094] S05 Data Processing and Result Output Stage: After the test is completed, the data processing module automatically generates a test report, which includes the circuit board number 24, test time, signal difference, repeatability, drift amount, pass / fail judgment result and fault prompts if any; the test report is simultaneously displayed on the touch screen and stored in the storage module, and can be exported by the operator via USB interface; after the test is completed, the main control module controls each component to reset, waiting for the next batch of tests.
[0095] In addition, the control component 4 also has a manual control mode. When the automation mode malfunctions, the operator can switch to manual mode via the touch screen to manually control the LED light source 6, the rotation of the servo motor 11, the movement of the electric linear module 12, etc., which facilitates equipment debugging and troubleshooting.
