DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] The following will, with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model, clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0028] With the development of human technology, the demand for temperature measurement is increasing. In the past, the commonly used temperature measurement schemes mainly included thermistors, thermocouples, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). However, in more and more scenarios, a temperature measurement scheme with high integration, high precision, and easy use is required. Digital temperature sensors have emerged as the times require and are widely used in the medical industry, industry, automotive electronics, aerospace, consumer electronics and other fields. Most digital temperature sensors integrate a measurement circuit, a digital processing circuit, a communication interface, etc. internally, with a high degree of integration, and do not require the design of complex peripheral circuits. Moreover, through different packaging forms, they can meet the use in more scenarios. For users, they only need to read the temperature result through a specific communication method (I2C, SPI, etc.).

[0029] However, high-precision digital temperature sensors face some challenges in the process of mass production and manufacturing. For example, they need to be tested and calibrated in an accurate and stable environment. The existing batch testing and batch calibration schemes for digital temperature sensors still have deficiencies in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, a high-efficiency, stable and reliable, high-precision batch testing and calibration scheme is needed to solve the challenges faced by digital temperature sensors.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a digital temperature sensor test system, which can improve the accuracy and efficiency of testing digital temperature sensors.

[0031] Figure 1 The digital temperature sensor test system provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is shown as follows, including: a test component 2, a first board 1, and a constant temperature bath 3. The test component 2 is used to carry the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested and integrates a temperature reference sensor 211; the first board 1 is electrically connected to the test component 2 and is used to receive the first temperature data measured by the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested on the test component 2 and the second temperature data measured by the temperature reference sensor 211; the constant temperature bath 3 is used to provide a constant temperature bath environment for the test board 22.

[0032] In this embodiment, the temperature reference sensor 211 is a high-precision temperature sensor. When testing the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested, the test component 2 is placed in a constant temperature bath 3, which is preset and has a constant-temperature water bath environment. Subsequently, the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested carried on the test component 2 will detect the temperature in the constant temperature bath 3 and obtain a first temperature data, and the temperature reference sensor 211 will also detect the temperature in the constant temperature bath 3 and obtain a second temperature data. Since the temperature reference sensor 211 is a high-precision temperature sensor, the second temperature data has a high credibility. After comparing the second temperature data with the first temperature data, it is possible to know whether the first data temperature measured by the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested is accurate.

[0033] In addition, the constant temperature accuracy of the constant temperature bath 3 is ±0.01 °C, the temperature fluctuation is ±0.005 - 0.01 °C, and the temperature range is -40 °C to 160 °C. And the constant temperature environment of the constant temperature bath is preset for the constant temperature bath 3, and it also has a set temperature, which can provide a reference for the second temperature data to verify the credibility of the second temperature data, and can provide a reference for the first temperature data. By comparing the first temperature data with the set temperature, it is also possible to further know whether the first data temperature measured by the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested is accurate.

[0034] Therefore, the digital temperature sensor testing system provided in this embodiment can use the test component 2 to measure the temperature of the constant temperature bath environment provided in the constant temperature bath 3. And during the process of measuring the temperature of the constant temperature bath environment, the second temperature data measured by the temperature reference sensor 211 can provide a reference for the first temperature data measured by the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested. In addition, the temperature of the constant temperature bath environment provided by the constant temperature bath 3 itself can also provide a reference for the first temperature data measured by the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested, thereby making the test of the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested more accurate. And the first board 1 can receive these measured first temperature data and second temperature data, thereby providing data reserve for rapid testing and improving the testing efficiency of the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested.

[0035] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the test component 2 includes: a second board 21 and a test board 22. The second board 21 and the test board 22 are electrically connected. The test board 22 is used to carry the digital temperature sensor 221 to be tested, and the second board 21 is integrated with the temperature reference sensor 211.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are at least two digital temperature sensors 221 to be tested and temperature reference sensors 211, and the digital temperature sensors 221 to be tested and the temperature reference sensors 211 are at the same depth in the constant temperature bath environment.

[0037] By setting multiple digital temperature sensors 221 to be tested and a temperature reference sensor 211, batch testing of the digital temperature sensors 221 to be tested can be achieved, and by placing the digital temperature sensors 221 to be tested and the temperature reference sensor 211 at the same depth in a constant temperature bath environment, the error of the test results can be reduced.

[0038] In one embodiment, both the second board 21 and the test board 22 are provided with heat dissipation through holes 6.

[0039] The design of the heat dissipation through holes 6 reduces the volume of the board, improves the heat dissipation efficiency, shortens the time required for the constant temperature bath to maintain heat while ensuring accuracy, and thus shortens the test time.

[0040] In one embodiment, the system further includes a third board 11, and the first board 1 and the test component 2 are electrically connected through the third board 11.

[0041] By using the third board 11 to connect the first board 1 and the test component 2, wherein the second board 21 in the test component 2 is electrically connected to the third board 11.
