[0020] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] See Figures 1 - 3, A virtual test device for measuring the intelligent functions of intelligent sensors, comprising a controller 1, a signal generation module 2, a signal acquisition module 3, and a dedicated sensor connector 5; the controller 1 is respectively connected to the signal generation module 2 and the signal acquisition module 3; the center of the dedicated sensor connector 5 is provided with a sensor installation position, and a plurality of probe jigs are fixedly arranged around the sensor installation position. A rotatable rod 8 is installed on the probe jig, and a virtual test probe 6 is inserted and fixed on the rod 8; one of the virtual test probes 6 contacts one end of the chip under test, and the other contacts the other end of the chip 6; correspondingly, one of the probe jigs is connected to the signal generation module 2, and the other is connected to the signal acquisition module 3. Through the dedicated sensor connector 5, the positioning of the chip under test and the installation and positioning of the virtual test probe 6 are realized.

[0022] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , it further includes a dedicated chassis 4. The upper part of the dedicated chassis 4 is provided with a square groove, and a plurality of card slots for installing the signal generation module 2 and the signal acquisition module 4 are arranged in the square groove; the inside of the dedicated chassis 4 has connection lines with the signal generation module 2 and the signal acquisition module 3, and the controller 1 is electrically connected to the connection lines through the terminal posts of the dedicated chassis 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the chip under test is the intelligent chip 7 of the intelligent sensor under test.

[0024] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the sensor installation position has a disc positioning pattern composed of a plurality of concentric circles to facilitate the positioning of the intelligent chip 7 of the intelligent sensor under test.

[0025] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the insertion depth of the virtual test probe 6 into the rod 8 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the length of the virtual test probe 6 extending forward.

It should be noted that in practice, it is not necessarily three groups, which depends on the sensor chip under test. If some chips have only one signal input pin, only one group of probe jigs is required. If there are multiple signal input pins, multiple groups of probe jigs are required. The probe jigs can be flexibly increased or decreased according to needs.

[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the probe jig includes an L-shaped connecting plate, and the L-shaped connecting plate is fixed on the upper platform surface of the dedicated sensor connector 5 by bolts.

[0028] The following is an introduction to each functional component. It should be noted that the basic functions of the functional components belong to the prior art and are not the contributions of the present utility model to the prior art. The present utility model mainly provides a mechanical device for measuring and testing the intelligent chips of intelligent sensors. As Figures 1 - 2 shown:

[0029] Controller 1: Controls the virtual test device to generate stimulus signals corresponding to various real-world environments to be measured to meet the virtual test requirements of various intelligent functions, and receives, processes, analyzes, and stores the collected output signals.

[0030] Signal generation module 2: Can output standard voltage / current / digital signals, etc. required for testing, and the generated signals can achieve controllable waveforms to meet the signal input requirements of different models of intelligent sensors.

[0031] Signal acquisition module 3: Can collect, read, and save standard voltage / current / digital signals, etc.

[0032] Special chassis 4: Used to integrate the signal generation module and the signal acquisition module, and achieve clock synchronization between the modules.

[0033] Special sensor connector 5: Realizes the effective connection between the intelligent chip of the sensor to be measured and the virtual test device.

[0034] Virtual test probe 6: Directly contacts the pads or bumps on the intelligent sensor chip to achieve accurate transmission of standard virtual stimulus signals and feedback signals.

[0035] Intelligent chip 7 of the intelligent sensor to be measured.

[0036] Special connection cable 8: Enables effective connection of each hardware in the virtual test device, and ensures stable signal transmission without being interfered by the external environment.

[0037] The test process based on this device is as follows: Before the test, the intelligent chip of the intelligent sensor to be measured is fixed on the special sensor connector of the virtual test device by means of clamping with a fixture or vacuum adsorption, and the key hardware such as the controller, signal generation device, and sensor connector are effectively connected using a special connection cable, and stable signal transmission is ensured.

[0038] During the test, the controller is used to make the signal generation module generate virtual stimulus signals of the "virtual scene" corresponding to the actual working conditions of the real world, and it is necessary to ensure that the virtual stimulus signals input by the virtual test device to the sensor to be measured are consistent with the output signals of the physical perception layer of the sensor under the same working conditions.

[0039] In a dedicated sensor connector, a standard virtual stimulus signal generated by a signal generation module is applied to a sensor under test through a virtual test probe, and a feedback signal in the sensor under test is transmitted back to a signal acquisition module through the virtual test probe. Finally, in a controller, by analyzing signal generation and signal acquisition in the virtual test device and performing subsequent data processing, the test of the intelligent functions of the intelligent sensor is completed. It should be noted that the analysis and processing by the controller and the principle of electrical signal transmission both belong to the prior art and are not related to the contributions made by the present utility model to the prior art.

[0040] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. Those of ordinary skill in the art can also make various transformations or improvements on this basis. Without departing from the general concept of the present utility model, these transformations or improvements should fall within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
