[0051] In one embodiment, the present application provides a power-on and power-off test instrument, which includes a housing 110, a PLC controller 120, a first communication interface 130, a first counting circuit 140 and a first counting display module 150 connected thereto, and a power supply circuit 160. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The shell 110 of this embodiment is shown in an expanded view. The shell 110 is provided with a plurality of panels connected in series. The plurality of panels form an inner cavity of the shell 110 (attached Figure 1 The specific size of the shell 110 can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and it is only necessary to ensure that the inner cavity is large enough to accommodate the relevant circuits, modules, and the panel is large enough to set the relevant interfaces. Similarly, the preparation material of the shell 110 can also be flexibly set according to actual needs, and it is only necessary to ensure that each device and circuit can work normally. Exemplarily, the shell 110 in this embodiment is processed by a cold-rolled steel machine, and the size is the size of a common distribution box, length * width * height: 500mm * 350mm * 200mm. Figure 1 1 shows that the housing 110 includes six panels, wherein panel A is the front panel of the housing 110, panel B is the rear panel of the housing 110, panel C is the top panel of the housing 110, panel D is the right panel of the housing 110, panel E is the left panel of the housing 110, and panel F is the bottom panel of the housing 110. It can be understood that in order to embed an interface or a display module in the panel, a hole of a corresponding size can be opened in the target panel according to actual needs.

[0052] See also Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the connection relationship between the PLC controller 120, the first communication interface 130, the first counting circuit 140, the first counting display module 150, the power supply circuit 160 and the device under test 200 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 The structural diagram of the first panel 111 shown in FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first panel 111, the PLC controller 120 is provided with a first on-off control circuit 121 and a plurality of external terminals 122 (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 2 Only one of them is shown in the figure), the first power on and off control circuit 121 is connected to each external terminal 122, and the multiple external terminals 122 are embedded in the first panel 111 among the multiple panels. The external terminals 122 are used to connect the device under test 200, and the first power on and off control circuit 121 is used to perform a power on and off test on the device under test 200.

[0053] Among them, the PLC controller 120 is a digital electronic device for automatic control, which can be called a programmable logic controller (PLC), such as a Mitsubishi PLC controller 120 of the model FX2N. The first power-on and power-off control circuit 121 in this embodiment can refer to a set including the core components of the programmable logic controller, such as a central processing unit CPU, a storage unit, a communication unit, an analog-to-digital conversion unit, etc. The first power-on and power-off control circuit 121 in this embodiment can pre-store instructions for performing operations such as logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations through the storage unit, and control the power-on and power-off test of the device under test 200 through digital or analog input and output. For example, the test logic pre-stored in the storage unit is to perform the power-on and power-off test of the device under test 200 x times, each time at an interval of t seconds, then the first power-on and power-off control circuit 121 performs power-on and power-off of the device under test 200 at an interval of t seconds, and performs power-on and power-off x times. A plurality of external terminals 122 include a common terminal COM and an outlet terminal Y, that is, the two ends of the device under test 200 are respectively connected to the common terminal COM and the outlet terminal Y, so as to realize the power-on or power-off action. The specific number of external terminals 122 can be flexibly set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, a situation including four groups of common terminals COM and outlet terminals Y is shown. It can be understood that in order to improve the visualization of whether the device under test 200 is fully connected to the common terminal COM and the outlet terminal Y, an indicator light can also be set to connect the corresponding common terminal COM and the outlet terminal Y respectively, to indicate whether the device under test 200 is powered on with the corresponding terminal. Among them, the first panel 111 can be any one of the multiple panels of the housing 110, and illustratively, it can be the front panel-A panel of the housing 110. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the PLC controller 120 can also be program-changed to change the test logic. For example, this program can be quickly written through the Mitsubishi FX2N ladder diagram (LAD, LadderLogic Programming Language) programming language. Set a predetermined power-on and power-off interval, for example: the sensor is powered on for 1 second and powered off for 1 second, and the power-on and power-off test is repeated. A timer function can also be added according to actual needs. By modifying the timer value, the power-on or power-off time interval can be changed, but it is not limited to this.

[0054] See again the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 4The structural schematic diagram of the second panel 112 shown in the figure, the first communication interface 130 is embedded in the second panel 112 of multiple panels, and the first communication interface 130 is used to connect the device under test 200 to obtain the power-on and power-off test data of the device under test 200; the first communication interface 130 can be a serial communication interface, such as a DB9 pin RS232 serial port. In addition, the number of the first communication interface 130 can be flexibly set according to actual needs. The first communication interface 130 in this embodiment obtains the power-on and power-off test data of the device under test 200, and can communicate and connect the external device with the power-on and power-off test instrument, and further judge whether the device under test 200 is abnormal according to the power-on and power-off test data. For example, the first communication interface 130 is connected to the serial port server so that the serial port server establishes a communication connection with the external host computer, and performs protocol conversion on the power-on and power-off test data and transmits it to the external host computer. The second panel 112 can be any panel other than the first panel 111 among the multiple panels, such as the right panel-D panel of the housing 110.

[0055] The first counting circuit 140 is disposed in the inner cavity, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The first counting and displaying module 150 is embedded in the first panel 111, the first counting circuit 140 is connected to the first power on and off control circuit 121, and is used to count the first power on and off times in the power on and off test performed by the first power on and off control circuit 121, and the first counting and displaying module 150 is used to display the first power on and off times; the power supply circuit 160 is arranged in the inner cavity, and is connected to the first power on and off control circuit 121, the first counting circuit 140 and the first counting and displaying module 150, and is used to supply power to the first power on and off control circuit 121, the first counting circuit 140 and the first counting and displaying module 150, and to power on the device under test 200 through the first power on and off control circuit 121.

[0056] The power-on and power-off test instrument in this embodiment can not only perform power-on and power-off tests on the device under test 200 through the test logic pre-stored in the PLC controller 120, but also obtain the power-on and power-off test data of the device under test 200 through the first communication interface 130, so that the external device can further judge the test results of the device under test 200 according to the power-on and power-off test data, thereby meeting more test requirements.

[0057] In one embodiment, the power-on / off test instrument further includes a serial port server and a serial port relay. The serial port server is arranged in the inner cavity and is used to communicate with an external host computer to receive a control signal from the external host computer; the serial port relay includes a second power-on / off control circuit and an output port 1131 connected thereto, and the second power-on / off control circuit is connected to the serial port server, see the attached Figure 5The structural schematic diagram of the third panel 113 shown in the figure, the output port 1131 is embedded in the third panel 113 among multiple panels, the output port 1131 is used to connect the device under test 200, and the second power on and off control circuit performs a power on and off test on the device under test 200 connected to the output port 1131 through the output port 1131 under the action of the control signal.

[0058] The external host computer may be an external control system, such as a control terminal installed with a control program. For example, it is understood that the control program may be written in an existing programming language, such as Python. In addition, for the application interface of the control program, the PySimple GUI graphical tool may be used to quickly lay out a simple UI graphical interface, but is not limited thereto. For example, Figure 6 The control program UI interface shown in the figure, open the control program HTQC.exe in the control terminal to enter the attached Figure 6 The UI interface is shown. The UI interface is mainly composed of four functional modules, with a simple interface, easy to understand and operate. In the upper left corner, there is a LOGO icon and program title that can be designed as needed. The middle part is the main part of the control program, and the bottom displays the project name and version information. Start the software, and after the test starts, the current clock information is triggered to display the current time. Module 1: Test information, you can set the necessary test parameters. Module 2: Power on and off test data acquisition and display. Module 3: Image display, power on and off test status display, operation log query. Module 4: Related information print output window, including test information, data information, error prompt information, but not limited to this.

[0059] For the communication connection between the control program and the serial port server, the Serial library can be imported to establish a socket interface for software and hardware communication (the middleware abstraction layer for communication between the application layer and the TCP / IP protocol family), so that the communication connection between the software and the serial port server can be quickly realized. Specifically, the control program can configure the test conditions such as the number of power-on and power-off tests and the power-on and power-off interval time of the serial port relay through the serial port server. If the power-on and power-off test instrument is also equipped with other sensor modules, such as a temperature detection module and a humidity detection module, the temperature, humidity and other information of the test environment can also be obtained in real time through the serial port server. In addition, based on the obtained power-on and power-off detection data, the control program can also judge the test results and give the test results, record the number of tests, the test results, and the test data are stored in the client directory folder.

[0060] The serial port server can be flexibly set according to the actual protocol conversion needs. Exemplarily, the serial port server in this embodiment is mainly used for TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) protocol and serial port protocol conversion, and the serial port protocol refers to the physical layer protocol such as RS-232. Exemplarily, the control terminal is connected to the serial port server for communication, so that the serial port server performs protocol conversion on the control signal from the control terminal, so that the control signal after the protocol conversion can set the working conditions of the serial port relay, such as the power-on and power-off interval time and the number of power-on and power-off times. At the same time, the serial port server is also connected to the first communication interface 130 to transmit the power-on and power-off test data obtained by the first communication interface 130 to an external host computer, so that the host computer further performs data analysis on the power-on and power-off test data to determine whether the device under test 200 is abnormal.

[0061] The third panel 113 can be any panel of the plurality of panels except the first panel 111 and the second panel 112, such as the rear panel-B panel of the housing 110. The third panel 113 is embedded with a plurality of output ports 1131 of serial port relays. The specific number of output ports 1131 can be flexibly set according to actual needs. The structural schematic diagram of the third panel 113 in this embodiment shows a situation including four groups, and a group of output ports 1131 includes a common terminal COM and a NO terminal. The output port 1131 is connected to the serial port server, and realizes the communication between the common terminal COM and the NO terminal according to the control signal, wherein the NO terminal represents a normally open contact. The common terminal COM and the NO terminal are both standard copper terminals. It can be understood that, based on the functional characteristics of the PLC controller 120 itself, when the first power-on and power-off control circuit 121 of the PLC controller 120 is connected to the serial port server, it can also perform a power-on and power-off test according to the control signal.
