Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of testing, in particular to a display component testing device. Background Art

[0002] The display assembly used in civil aircraft is a liquid crystal display (LCD) that displays flight information required by the crew. The aircraft's host processor receives graphical data and commands via a high-speed coaxial TAXI bus. The display assembly processes the input video data, displays the image, and reports status information back to the ARINC 429 bus. The display assembly primarily consists of a chassis, interface board, I / O board, video processing board, power supply board, backlight driver assembly, backlight assembly, and LCD assembly.

[0003] Each B737NG aircraft is equipped with six display modules, representing a significant number of critical flight information displays. However, the video processing and power supply circuit boards within these display modules are prone to intermittent failures, resulting in a high replacement rate. However, maintenance of these modules in China is currently heavily monopolized by the OEM, Honeywell, resulting in high repair costs and long maintenance cycles, placing significant operational and cost pressures on domestic aviation users. Therefore, it is imperative to independently develop a test system for this project and establish maintenance capabilities in China. Utility Model Content

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a display component testing device of the present invention includes a chassis and a J1 pin row. The J1 pin row is encapsulated in the chassis and connected to an external device through a device test panel of the chassis. The chassis also includes a TAXI signal module. The TAXI signal module is used to send TAXI signals. The B-A1, B-B1, B-C1, B-D1, and B-E1 pins of the TAXI signal module are respectively connected to the first to fifth pins of the J1 pin row.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, after analyzing the project, it is found that this is an LCD display that primarily receives taxi data information from the DEU or NTSC video signal from the camera, processes it internally, and displays graphics on the LCD screen. The test method described in the manual primarily utilizes automatic test equipment, primarily simulating the taxi data bus for graphic display testing. Actual testing utilizes a display component test bench based on the present invention. This test bench provides taxi data signals, power supply, test ports, brightness adjustment potentiometer, and a 429 output test port for DU testing.
