[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0030] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0031] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.
[0032] During the production process of optical modules, a power testing process is usually required. In this process, the optical module needs to be moved to the test station of the test system, and the cooling water circuit and the test circuit of the test system need to be manually connected to the optical module. Since the cooling water circuit and the working circuit of the optical module have many access terminals, manual water and power connection takes a long time, which prolongs the test downtime of the test system and reduces the test efficiency of the test system.
[0033] From the analysis of the above reasons, it can be seen that since the optical module has many access terminals for the cooling water circuit and the working circuit, the fact that manual water and electricity connection takes a long time is difficult to change. However, it is possible to consider placing the steps of manual water and electricity connection outside the test system to shorten the test idle period of the test system, and then connect the optical module to the test system through a switching method. The switching method can bring together multiple access terminals of the cooling water circuit and the working circuit in the same place, reducing the number of connection points, thereby improving the test efficiency of the test system.
[0034] In view of this, the main purpose of the utility model is to propose a tooling plate structure, a transfer cart and an optical module testing system, aiming to solve the problem that the existing manual direct connection process of the optical module and the testing system is time-consuming, thereby reducing the testing efficiency of the testing system. Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a tooling plate structure provided by the utility model.
[0035] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the utility model, the tooling board structure 100 is applied to an optical module testing system. The optical module testing system has a circuit socket and a water socket. The tooling board structure 100 includes a tooling board body 1, a circuit adapter structure 2 and a water socket. The tooling board body 1 has an optical module placement area 11, and the optical module placement area 11 is used to place the optical module to be tested; the circuit adapter structure 2 has an electrically conductive circuit plug connector 21 and a circuit adapter 22, the circuit plug connector 21 is arranged on the tooling board body 1, and is electrically connected to the circuit socket, and the circuit adapter 22 is used to be electrically connected to the working circuit of the optical module to be tested; the water socket adapter structure 3 has a water socket 31 and a water socket 32 for water conduction, the water socket 31 is arranged on the tooling board body 1, and is plugged and connected to the water socket, and the water socket 32 is used to conduct water to the cooling water path of the optical module to be tested.
[0036] It should be noted that the function of the tooling board body 1 is to transport the optical module to be tested to the optical module testing system, and the transportation method can be completed by a double-speed chain or a conveyor belt, or by a manual cart. This embodiment does not limit the transportation method;
[0037] The function of the circuit adapter 22 is to connect to multiple access ends of the working circuit of the optical module to be tested, and its specific structure depends on the multiple access ends. For example, the circuit adapter 22 may include multiple navigation sockets, and each navigation socket is respectively connected to one of the working circuit access ends; similarly, the function of the waterway adapter 32 is to connect to multiple access ends of the cooling waterway of the optical module to be tested, and its specific structure depends on the multiple access ends. For example, the waterway adapter 32 may include a water diversion valve, and multiple water inlets are formed on the water diversion valve, and the multiple water inlets are respectively connected to one of the cooling waterway access ends. The specific structures of the circuit adapter 22 and the waterway adapter 32 are not limited in this embodiment;
[0038] The circuit plug connector 21 is electrically connected to the circuit adapter 22, for example, by Figure 1 The connection line 23 in the optical module test system is electrically connected, and the circuit plug connector 21 can be directly plugged and connected with the circuit plug socket in the optical module test system to form an electrical circuit. The specific structure of the circuit plug connector 31 and the waterway adapter 32 are connected by water, for example, by Figure 1The water-conducting water channel connector 31 in the connecting pipeline 33 can be directly plugged and connected with the water channel connector in the optical module test system to form a water circuit. The specific structure of the water channel connector 31 is not limited in this embodiment.
[0039] According to the technical solution of the utility model, the tooling board body 1 places the optical module to be tested through the optical module placement area 11 thereon. Before the tooling board structure 100 transports the optical module to be tested, the circuit adapter 22 of the circuit adapter structure 2 can be pre-connected with multiple access ends of the working circuit in the optical module to be tested, and the water channel adapter 32 of the water channel adapter structure 3 can also be pre-connected with multiple access ends of the cooling water channel in the optical module to be tested. This process does not occupy the optical module testing system. After that, the tooling board structure 100 can transport the optical module to be tested to the test station of the optical module testing system. At this time, it is only necessary to plug and connect the circuit plug connector 21 of the tooling board structure 100 with the circuit plug socket of the optical module testing system, and to plug and connect the water channel plug connector 31 of the tooling board structure 100 with the water channel plug socket of the optical module testing system. In this process, there are only two connection points, which greatly shortens the time consumed in manual water and electricity connection, shortens the test idle period of the optical module testing system, and improves the test efficiency of the optical module testing system.
[0040] In one embodiment, the water circuit connector 31 and the circuit connector 21 are arranged on the same side in the length direction of the tooling board body 1. It should be noted that the projection of the tooling board body 1 in its thickness direction is usually arranged in a rectangular shape. Generally speaking, whether it is through a double-speed chain or a cart, the travel direction of the tooling board body 1 is generally its length direction. Therefore, according to the above scheme, by arranging the water circuit connector 31 and the circuit connector 21 on the same side in the length direction of the tooling board body 1, when the tooling board body 1 is transported to the optical module test system, by reasonably setting the positions of the circuit connector and the water circuit connector, the circuit connector 21 and the circuit connector, as well as the water circuit connector 31 and the water circuit connector can be directly plugged and connected, further reducing and shortening the time consumption of manual water and electricity connection.
[0041] Whether it is the connection pipe 33 connected to the water plug connector 31 or the connection line 23 connected to the circuit plug connector 21, both will occupy space on the tooling board body 1 during the extension process. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the water plug connector 31 and the circuit plug connector 21 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the tooling board body 1; in the width direction, the optical module placement area 11 is arranged between the water plug connector 31 and the circuit plug connector 21. In this way, the water plug connector 31 and the circuit plug connector 21 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the tooling board body 1, and the connection pipe 33 and the connection line 23 can be arranged side by side, so that more usable areas can be reserved on the tooling board body 1, and components such as a combiner or a wiring harness can be placed in these areas, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the tooling board body 1.
[0042] When the tooling board structure 100 is transferred to the test station of the optical module testing system, after the water channel connector 31 and the circuit connector 21 are respectively plugged into the water channel socket and the circuit socket, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the optical module is fixed so that stable detection can be performed. In view of this, in one embodiment, the tooling board body 1 is also formed with a plurality of positioning holes 12 that pass through along the thickness direction, and the plurality of positioning holes 12 are respectively arranged on the periphery of the tooling board body 1; in another embodiment, the tooling board body 1 is also provided with a plurality of limiting portions 13, and the plurality of limiting portions 13 are arranged around the periphery of the optical module placement area 11.
[0043] It should be noted that the above two parallel technical features "the tooling board body 1 is also formed with a plurality of positioning holes 12 which penetrate along the thickness direction, and the plurality of positioning holes 12 are respectively arranged on the periphery of the tooling board body 1" and "the tooling board body 1 also has a plurality of limiting portions 13, and the plurality of limiting portions 13 are arranged around the periphery of the optical module placement area 11" can be set selectively or simultaneously. Obviously, the effect of setting them simultaneously is better.
[0044] According to the above technical scheme, by setting a plurality of positioning holes 12, the optical module testing system can be inserted into the positioning holes 12 through the positioning pins, so as to stably fix the tooling board structure 100 at the testing station, thereby ensuring the stable progress of the testing process; by setting a plurality of limiting parts 13 on the tooling board body 1, the optical module to be tested can be stably restricted in the optical module placement area 11, which also ensures the stable progress of the testing process.
[0045] Among the existing optical modules, some have an open-close structure, such as 3000S, 2000S, 4000 and 6000 type optical modules. If these optical modules are closed, it is impossible to accurately detect multiple key parts inside them. In order to achieve compatible detection of the above-mentioned types of optical modules, in one embodiment, the optical module placement area 11 includes a first placement area 111 and a second placement area 112. The first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 are respectively used to receive two open-close split structures of the optical module to be tested in an unfolded state. It should be noted that the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 respectively receive two open-close split structures, so that the internal key parts of the optical module to be tested can be fully displayed to meet the full detection of this type of optical module.
[0046] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 are hollowed out in the thickness direction of the tooling board body 1 to reveal the bottom of the optical module to be tested. It should be noted that although the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 are hollowed out, the edge of the optical module to be tested can still be supported on the physical structure of the tooling board body 1. The two hollowed-out areas are only used to display the key parts of the bottom and top of the optical module to be tested downward, while the key parts in the middle of the optical module to be tested are displayed upward after opening. By respectively setting the execution detection components on the corresponding top side and ground side of the optical module test system, the optical module to be tested can be efficiently and fully detected.
[0047] It is understandable that some types of optical modules are usually used with a beam combiner, and there is a wire harness connection between the two. In view of this, in one embodiment, the tooling board body 1 also has a beam combiner placement platform 14 and a wire harness placement platform 15, and the wire harness placement platform 15 is arranged around the beam combiner placement platform 14. The beam combiner can be placed on the beam combiner placement platform 14, and the connection wire harness can be placed by arranging the wire harness placement platform 15 around the beam combiner placement platform 14, so that the connection wire harness is naturally coiled around the beam combiner, so that both the beam combiner and the connection wire harness can be fully detected.
[0048] Further, in one embodiment, in the thickness direction of the tooling plate body 1, the combiner placement platform 14 is arranged away from the tooling plate body 1 relative to the harness placement platform 15. It should be noted that in the thickness direction of the tooling plate body 1, the combiner placement platform 14 is arranged away from the tooling plate body 1 relative to the harness placement platform 15, which means that the height of the combiner placement platform 14 is higher than that of the harness placement platform 15. Such an arrangement can avoid the connection harness from blocking the combiner, ensuring that the combiner is fully detected.
[0049] The utility model also provides a transfer cart, which includes a cart body and a tooling plate structure 100 as described above, wherein the tooling plate body 1 of the tooling plate structure 100 is arranged on the cart body. The specific structure of the tooling plate structure 100 refers to the above embodiments. Since the transfer cart adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here. By transporting through the cart body, the flexibility of the tooling plate structure 100 is improved.
[0050] The utility model also proposes an optical module testing system, which includes an operating platform, the above-mentioned transfer cart, and a waterway socket and a circuit socket. The operating platform forms a test station; the transfer cart can be operated to the test station, and the transfer cart is used to transfer the optical module to be tested; the waterway socket and the circuit socket are arranged on the operating platform; when the transfer cart is operated to the test station, the waterway socket can be connected to the waterway plug connector 31 of the transfer cart through water, and the circuit socket can be electrically connected to the circuit plug connector 21 of the transfer cart. The specific structure of the transfer cart refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the optical module testing system adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0051] It should be noted that a plurality of transfer carts are provided so that a plurality of optical modules to be tested can be successively transferred to the operating platform for testing. At the same time, the complicated water and electricity connection process of the optical modules can be carried out outside the operating platform, making full use of the optical module testing system.
[0052] According to the technical solution of the utility model, the tooling plate body 1 of the tooling plate structure 100 on the transfer cart places the optical module to be tested through the optical module placement area 11 thereon. Before the transfer cart transports the optical module to be tested, the circuit adapter 22 of the circuit adapter structure 2 can be pre-connected with multiple access ends of the working circuit in the optical module to be tested, and the water channel adapter 32 of the water channel adapter structure 3 can also be pre-connected with multiple access ends of the cooling water channel in the optical module to be tested. This process does not occupy the optical module testing system. After this, the transfer cart can transport the optical module to be tested to the test station of the optical module testing system. At this time, it is only necessary to plug and connect the circuit plug connector 21 of the tooling plate structure 100 with the circuit plug socket of the optical module testing system, and to plug and connect the water channel plug connector 31 of the tooling plate structure 100 with the water channel plug socket of the optical module testing system. In this process, there are only two connection points, which greatly shortens the time consumed in manual water and electricity connection, shortens the test idle period of the optical module testing system, and improves the test efficiency of the optical module testing system.
[0053] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
