Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automated testing platforms, and in particular relates to an automated platform suitable for parallel testing of functions of multiple notebook computers. Background Art

[0002] As laptops become increasingly versatile, they are often equipped with multiple interfaces and expansion functions, including multiple USB interfaces, HDMI ports, TF card slots, Ethernet interfaces, and audio interfaces.

[0003] To ensure these interfaces and functions function properly during production, factories must rigorously test each laptop for functionality. Traditional testing processes typically require multiple decentralized functional testing stations to test each interface and function individually. This model requires testers to repeatedly perform tedious operations such as plugging and unplugging devices, switching stations, and manually recording data, which can easily lead to operational errors and omissions. Furthermore, this testing process is not only time-consuming but also difficult to adapt to the demands of mass production, resulting in high labor and time costs for the factory. To address the inefficiency and error-proneness of traditional testing methods, automated testing solutions have emerged.

[0004] Existing automated testing systems integrate the functions of multiple test stations into one station, which is controlled uniformly by a host computer to achieve automated testing processes. However, these systems have the following shortcomings:

Reduce costs and improve production efficiency: Through optimized design and the function of simultaneous testing on multiple control consoles 3, the overall cost of the factory is effectively reduced, while the testing speed and production efficiency are greatly improved, which is particularly suitable for large-scale production.

[0044] 5.Supports simultaneous testing of multiple DUTs: Test fixture 2 can test multiple DUTs of two different products at the same time, significantly improving the parallel testing capability of the production line and further enhancing production efficiency.

[0045] The utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology. It can not only meet the testing needs of different products, but also support the simultaneous testing of up to 4 devices under test, greatly improving the efficiency and flexibility of the production line, greatly reducing production costs and meeting the requirements of large-scale production.

[0046] The platform consists of four independent control consoles 3, each capable of simultaneously testing a device under test (DUT), ensuring efficient handling of multiple DUT test tasks. All control consoles 3 are centrally controlled by a master IPC (industrial computer) and PLC (programmable logic controller) system, ensuring coordination and data consistency between the control consoles 3. The master IPC is responsible for overall system management and data processing, while the PLC is responsible for specific control logic and signal processing.
