BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the structure of a test box according to an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the utility model through the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, with the purpose of helping those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the utility model concept and technical solution of the utility model and to facilitate its implementation. In the utility model, the "connection" includes both signal transmission and data interaction achieved by wired connection with actual lines, and signal transmission and data interaction achieved by wireless connection achieved by wireless transmission technology.

[0025] In order to make the technical solution of the utility model clearer, the utility model is explained through the following embodiments:

[0026] A display production line test box, such as Figure 1 As shown, the test box includes a power module, a microcontroller (MCU), a temperature sensor, a signal transceiver, a power output module, a deserializer, and a backlight control circuit, wherein:

[0027] The test box is respectively connected to the production line test equipment, power supply, and display screen. Specifically, the power supply is connected to the power supply module; the power supply module is respectively connected to the microcontroller, temperature sensor, signal transceiver, power output module, deserializer, and backlight control circuit; the signal transceiver is respectively connected to the production line test equipment and the microcontroller; the temperature sensor is connected to the microcontroller; the power output module is respectively connected to the display screen and the microcontroller; the deserializer is respectively connected to the display screen and the microcontroller; the backlight control circuit is respectively connected to the display screen and the microcontroller.

[0028] In this embodiment, the power supply simulates the vehicle environment to provide the test box with the power supply voltage of KL30, and the power module of the test box converts the KL30 power supply voltage into the power supply voltage required by each component in the test box to ensure that each component is under normal working voltage. The power module includes a transformer, and the transformer is respectively connected to the power supply, microcontroller, temperature sensor, signal transceiver, power output module, deserializer, and backlight control circuit. In specific implementation, the production line test equipment may include a power supply, or a separate power supply may be set outside the production line test equipment; the microcontroller model is Cypress TraveoII, which is a MCU (microcontroller) with complete functions and strong scalability. Based on this, this test box can be expanded with other test modules for display screen testing needs.

[0029] Furthermore, the microcontroller includes an analog / digital converter (ADC), a PWM controller, a general input / output interface (GPIO), a first bus interface, and a second bus interface, wherein: the analog / digital converter is respectively connected to the power module and the temperature sensor; the first bus interface is connected to the signal transceiver; the general input / output interface is respectively connected to the backlight control circuit, the power output module, and the deserializer; and the second bus interface is connected to the deserializer. Further, the microcontroller includes a memory, in which pictures or video data for testing are pre-stored. The microcontroller controls the deserializer to output preset customized pictures such as black, white, red, green, blue, grayscale, checkerboard, and color bars as needed, which reduces the input of labor and improves the degree of intelligence.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the production line test equipment and the signal transceiver are connected via a CAN bus. Correspondingly, the signal transceiver adopts a CAN transceiver, and the first bus interface is a CAN bus interface. The CAN bus is widely used in vehicle-mounted systems. The use of the CAN bus can more accurately simulate the environment of the vehicle display screen and save wiring harnesses. In specific implementation, the technician controls the production line test equipment to send a test command containing the display screen function to be tested and the corresponding parameters. The test command is transmitted to the CAN transceiver via the CAN bus, and the CAN transceiver processes and then forwards it to the microcontroller.

[0031] The test box is provided with a temperature sensor, which can detect the ambient temperature of the display production line in real time and send it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller converts it into a signal that the microcontroller can recognize through an analog-to-digital converter and then analyzes it. Especially during the high-temperature aging test of the display, the test box needs to adjust the display test parameters according to the temperature. In this embodiment, the microcontroller analyzes the converted temperature signal. First, the PWM controller can output PWM signals with different duty cycles according to the temperature signal. During the high-temperature aging test of the display, as the temperature rises, the power of each component of the microcontroller will be actively reduced to avoid hardware damage caused by high temperature and high current, which reflects the Derating (reducing rated power) strategy; secondly, after the microcontroller analyzes the temperature signal, it outputs the corresponding control signal to the backlight control circuit. The backlight control circuit can adjust the backlight brightness of the display according to the control signal to ensure that the backlight works stably for a long time and ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the display test. The specific backlight control circuit is a commonly used structure in the prior art and will not be described in detail in the utility model.

[0032] In the utility model, the analog-to-digital converter collects the temperature signal of the temperature sensor and also collects the KL30 voltage signal of the power supply. At this time, the power module does not perform voltage conversion on the KL30 voltage. After the microcontroller converts the voltage signal into a corresponding digital signal, it can be fed back to the host computer for verification of the function and performance of the test box, thereby ensuring efficient and accurate testing of the test box.

[0033] Further, in the present embodiment, the deserializer is an LVDS deserializer, and the second bus interface of the microcontroller is connected to the LVDS deserializer through the I2C bus. Correspondingly, the second bus interface is an I2C bus interface; the LVDS deserializer is also connected to the general input and output interface of the MCU to receive the IO signal of the MCU, which can pull up or pull down the level signal to control the LVDS deserializer. After the microcontroller parses the test command of the CAN bus, it determines the function and test parameters that the display screen needs to test, mainly including the test data and test commands such as pictures or videos that need to be displayed on the display screen, and the microcontroller packages the above data and sends it to the deserializer through the I2C bus. The deserializer then converts it into an LVDS signal (low voltage differential signal) in combination with the control signal of the MCU and sends it to the display screen for testing. The MCU control signal received by the deserializer includes the IO signal output by the GPIO and the control command transmitted in the I2C bus. The I2C bus has high data transmission efficiency, strong anti-interference ability, high data security, simple wiring harness, and wide application. It is the preferred solution of the utility model and can be replaced during actual implementation.

[0034] When the display screen is tested, the KL30 power supply voltage of the power supply cannot be directly used when it is powered on, so a power output module is set in this test box to convert the KL30 power supply voltage into a voltage that can be used by the display screen, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the test. The power supply voltage requirements of different display screens may be different, and the power output module should be set with a variety of voltage conversion schemes. The specific conversion method is a prior art and will not be repeated in this utility model.

[0035] Furthermore, in the utility model, the power module is used to convert the power supply voltage into the power supply voltage required by the components of the test box; the temperature sensor is used to detect the ambient temperature of the display production line and transmit the temperature signal to the microcontroller; the signal transceiver is used to receive the test command sent by the production line test equipment and forward it to the microcontroller; the microcontroller is used to analyze and process the received test command and temperature signal, and then output the corresponding control signal to the power output module, deserializer, backlight control circuit, and display screen; the power output module is used to convert the power supply voltage into the power supply voltage of the display screen according to the control signal, and output it to the display screen; the deserializer is used to convert the corresponding test data into LVDS signals according to the control signal and output it to the display screen, and the display screen outputs the test image according to the LVDS signal; the backlight control circuit is used to output the corresponding backlight control signal to the display screen according to the control signal.

[0036] In summary, the test box of the utility model realizes accurate and efficient display screen testing, and can be applied to display screen aging and bonding production lines to meet corresponding testing requirements; for high-temperature aging, the test box can adjust the test parameters of the display screen according to temperature changes, and can actively reduce power to protect the various structures of the test box; obviously, the test box is reusable, and the test module can be expanded according to needs, and is suitable for a variety of display screens.

[0037] The above is an exemplary description of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model; or the above concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
