Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hard disk testing, in particular to a hard disk testing machine with one-button control of power on and off. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of hard disks, the hard disks need to be tested and unblocked. In the prior art, the methods for testing hard disks include RDT testing, BIT testing, etc. The RDT test is to accelerate the failure of weak NAND flash memory blocks so that only the strongest flash memory is retained on the device, thereby maximizing reliable performance and durability; the BIT test is a test method for detecting problems that may occur in actual use of solid-state drives. This test method mainly simulates the working state of the hard disk under long-term operation and high-temperature environment to detect whether it has potential failures; after each test is completed, the hard disk needs to be unblocked, mainly to activate the solid-state drive and repair the failure of the solid-state drive;

[0003] In order to reduce the number of manual workstations, improve test efficiency and test quality, and reduce test costs, the inventor has proposed a one-stop hard disk tester that can integrate RDT test, BIT test, H2 test, card opening and other functions on one machine, and can test multiple hard disks at the same time, and can run according to one card opening → RDT test → two card opening → BIT test → three card opening, so that the hard disk only needs to be connected to the server once during the test to achieve orderly testing of multiple steps, which will be able to be widely used in industry; however, the existing one-stop hard disk tester will take into account the problem of too many servers and difficult to control, for example, each server needs to be turned on in turn when running, or each server needs to be turned off when not running, resulting in cumbersome operation; in this regard, it is necessary to propose an improved technical solution to solve the above problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-3 In an embodiment of the utility model, a hard disk tester with one-button control of power on and off is proposed, including a tester body 10, the tester body 10 is provided with a test chamber simulating a hard disk test environment, multiple groups of hard disk test boards 12 are installed in the test chamber, each group of hard disk test boards 12 is used to connect at least one hard disk to be tested, the tester body 10 is also provided with a test board power supply 13 for powering the hard disk test board 12, the tester body 10 is also integrated with a client 20, a control terminal 30 and a network system 40, wherein:

[0026] The client 20 includes a plurality of client servers 21 for respectively exchanging data with each set of hard disk test boards 12 and a plurality of client power supplies 22 electrically connected to each client server 21. Each client server 21 is provided with a client power management chip 23 for controlling the client power supply 22 to perform power on and off operations. The client server 21 is electrically connected to the client power supply 22 via the client power management chip 23.

[0027] The control end 30 includes a control end server 31 and a control end power supply 32 electrically connected to the control end server 31. The control end server 31 exchanges data with the client server 21 through the network system 40. The control end server 31 is provided with a control end power supply management chip 33 for controlling the control end power supply 32 to perform power on and off operations. The control end server 31 is electrically connected to the control end power supply 32 through the control end power supply management chip 33, and the control end power supply management chip 33 is electrically connected to a control end power key 34 for triggering a power on and off command signal.

[0028] The control end server 31 is also electrically connected to a control display panel 35 for generating a power on / off command signal and a power on / off control module 36 for sending the power on / off command signal to the corresponding client server 21. The client power management chip 23 of each client server 21 is electrically connected to the power on / off control module 36 respectively.

[0029] The client server 21 is connected to the control end server 31 through the network system 40, and the control end server 31 uniformly sends the corresponding test software to each client server 21, and sends the corresponding test instructions to make the client server 21 run to test the hard disk inserted into the hard disk test board 12; the client server 21 is mainly connected to the hard disk test board 12 through the PCIE line, and the hard disk test board 12 is finally set with a PCIE socket or a SATA socket connected to the hard disk after conversion by the interface conversion chip, and is independently powered by the test board power supply 13. During the RDT test process, the client server 21 can be turned off only by the test board power supply 13. After the detection structure comes out, the client server 21 sends the detection result to the client server 21 through the network system 40, and the client server 21 displays the result by controlling the display panel 35;

[0030] In the above technical solution, a control terminal power key 34 is connected to the control terminal power management chip 33 set on the motherboard of the control terminal server 31, and a power on / off command signal can be generated through the control terminal power key 34, which can be similar to the power button of a traditional computer host. When the control terminal power key 34 is pressed, an electrical signal is generated. After the electrical signal is transmitted to the control terminal power management chip 33, the control terminal power 32 is controlled to start the public socket, converting the alternating current into direct current, and providing the required electrical energy to the control terminal server 31 and other hardware components of the corresponding control terminal 30; Changan control terminal power key 34, The control-end power management chip 33 will continue to receive this signal for a certain period of time, usually a few seconds, and will determine that this is a forced shutdown request. The control-end power management chip 33 will take a series of actions to stop supplying power to various hardware, including turning off the power supply to devices such as the CPU and hard disk, thereby shutting down the control-end server 31; this method can force the control-end server 31 to shut down when the system crashes or becomes unresponsive, so as to avoid the system being in an abnormal state for a long time; but it should be noted that this forced shutdown method may cause the loss of unsaved data or cause certain damage to system files, and frequent use should be avoided as much as possible.

[0031] Similarly, the same is true for the client server 21. The utility model sets a corresponding power-on and power-off control module 36 based on the client server 21, and the power-on and power-off command signal is sent by the control-end server 31, wherein the control-end server 31 can send the shutdown signal to each client server 21 through the network system 40. After receiving the shutdown signal, the client server 21 will perform a normal shutdown operation. When the client server 21 needs to be powered on, it is started by the set power-on and power-off control module 36. Specifically, a power-on command signal of the client 20 is manually sent through the control display panel 35. After receiving the signal, the control-end server 31 performs corresponding reading and identification, and then sends it to the client power management chip 23 corresponding to the client 20 through the power-on and power-off control module 36. The power-on and power-off control module 36 is a single-chip microcomputer, which mainly receives the received power-on and power-off command signal. The signal is sent in accordance with the set program, which can be sent to part of the client power management chips 23, or to all the client power management chips 23; after receiving the command signal, the client power management chip 23 will control the client power supply 22 to start working, convert the AC power into DC power, and provide the required power to the client server 21 and other hardware components of the corresponding client 20; when it is in an emergency and the client 20 cannot be shut down normally through the network system 40, an emergency shutdown command signal can also be sent by controlling the display panel 35. After receiving the emergency shutdown command signal, the control end server 31 reads and identifies it, and then sends the shutdown command signal to the client power management chip 23 through the power on / off control module 36. It can also be a continuous electrical signal to force the client server 21 to shut down;

[0032] Therefore, the utility model uses different power supplies to independently power the client 20, the control terminal 30 and the hard disk test board 12, so that the control terminal 30 can be used mainly to control the power on and off operation of the client 20, so that all client servers 21 can be turned on or off with one button through the control display panel 35, making the power on or off operation of the client server 21 simple and convenient.

[0033] See also Figure 2In the embodiment of the utility model, the test machine body 10 is also provided with a main switch 14 connected to the main power supply, and the main switch 14 is connected to the main power switch 15. The main switch 14 is electrically connected to the test board power supply 13, the client power supply 22 and the control end power supply 32 through the main power switch 15; when in use, the main switch 14 is pulled up by the wire, and then the main power switch 15 is turned on to energize the test board power supply 13, the client power supply 22 and the control end power supply 32, and then the control end 30 is turned on by operating the control end power button 34, and then the client 20 is turned on by operating the display panel 35. When shutting down, the control end 30 and the client 20 can be directly shut down by operating the display panel 35. If necessary, the power can be cut off by forcibly closing the main power switch 15 or pulling down the main switch 14.

[0034] See also Figure 3 In the embodiment of the utility model, the network system 40 includes a router 41 electrically connected to the control-end server 31 and a switch 42 electrically connected to the client server 21. The control-end server 31 and the client server 21 exchange data through the networking communication of the router 41 and the switch 42. The router 41 and the switch 42 form an intranet, so that the control-end server 31 can uniformly control multiple client servers 21, and can also control the client server 21 through other computers that are also connected to the intranet, thereby improving the flexibility of control.
