[0002] The size and distribution of debris in the lubricating oil of aviation power equipment can characterize the wear degree of rotating mechanical components. It can also be used to predict and diagnose early failures of rotating components based on debris growth trends, enabling proactive maintenance measures. The aviation power equipment lubricating oil debris signal module allows for real-time quantitative analysis of debris size distribution and growth trends, which is of great significance for reducing aviation power equipment failures, improving uptime, and even extending service life.

[0003] Currently, in the development of the lubricating oil debris signal function module for aviation power equipment, testing is mainly conducted by injecting debris particles into the oil circuit or manually pulling out debris particles. The preparation work is cumbersome and cannot guarantee the consistency of the signal. There is a lack of a relatively convenient way to simulate the sensor signal of debris of different sizes and properties in order to test the sensitivity, detection rate and other indicators of the debris signal function module. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the defects and deficiencies in the existing technology, the present invention provides a test circuit for the chip signal function module, so as to solve the technical problem that the lack of a relatively convenient way to simulate chip sensor signals of different sizes and properties of chips makes it impossible to test the sensitivity, detection rate and other indicators of the chip signal function module.

[0005] As a first aspect of the present invention, a test circuit for a chip signal functional module is provided. The chip signal functional module includes a chip signal excitation generation circuit and a chip signal feedback processing circuit.

The other end of the resonant circuit is connected to the digital logic unit sequentially through the first comparator circuit and the first Schmitt trigger circuit. The digital logic unit is also connected to the direct digital frequency synthesis circuit, the second Schmitt trigger circuit, and the digital-to-analog converter circuit. The direct digital frequency synthesis circuit is also connected to the second comparator circuit and the digital-to-analog converter circuit. The second comparator circuit is connected to the second Schmitt trigger circuit. The digital-to-analog converter circuit is also connected to one end of the filter circuit through the proportional circuit. The other end of the filter circuit is connected to the chip signal feedback processing circuit.

[0006] Furthermore, the chip signal excitation generation circuit is used to generate an excitation signal; The resonant circuit is used to generate a reference sine wave signal according to the excitation signal; The first comparator circuit is used to process the reference sine wave signal into a reference square wave signal; The first Schmitt trigger circuit is used to shape the reference square wave signal to output the shaped reference square wave signal; The digital logic unit is used to control the direct digital frequency synthesis circuit to generate a carrier signal that meets the requirements according to the shaped reference square wave signal, and output the carrier signal that meets the requirements to the digital-to-analog conversion circuit.

Then, based on the phase error between the two square wave signals, a frequency adjustment amount is calculated through PID control to obtain the latest frequency. The carrier signal generated by the direct digital frequency synthesis circuit 7 is controlled to have the same frequency as the reference sine wave signal based on the latest frequency. Finally, the host computer controls the direct digital frequency synthesis circuit 7 through digital logic unit 4 to ensure that the phase of the carrier signal generated by the direct digital frequency synthesis circuit 7 meets the requirements.

The digital logic unit calculates the phase difference between the frequency and carrier signals to control the direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDS) to output the carrier signal. The carrier signal output by the DDS serves as the reference input to the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Simultaneously, the digital logic unit can control the amplitude variation of the DAC output signal via the bus, thereby generating an amplitude-modulated (AM) signal. The generated AM signal is then proportionally downscaled and bandpass filtered before being input to the chip signal feedback processing circuit.
