Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3 An automatic docking device for multi-functional testing of a communication base station includes a base 1, a test fixture 2, a communication base station 3, a bracket 4, a radio frequency female socket 5, and a conversion female socket 6. The bottom of the test fixture 2 is fixedly connected to two plug-in boards 7, and the communication base station 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the test fixture 2. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a propulsion structure for pushing the test component to move.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the propulsion structure includes a shell 8 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, three electric push rods 9 fixedly connected to the inner side of the shell 8, a mounting block 10 fixedly connected between the left ends of the movable rods of the three electric push rods 9, a mounting plate 11 fixedly connected to the front and back sides of the mounting block 10 respectively, a slider 12 fixedly connected between the opposite side walls of the two mounting plates 11, and a sliding rod 13 slidably connected to the inner side of the slider 12.

[0025] It should be noted that the bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the base 1 , the RF socket 5 and the conversion socket 6 are both fixedly connected to the right side of the bracket 4 , and the conversion socket 6 is located below the RF socket 5 .

[0026] The three electric push rods 9 are arranged in sequence and at equal intervals along the front-to-back direction of the housing 8 , and a through hole adapted to the movable rod of the electric push rod 9 is opened on the left side wall of the housing 8 .

[0027] Two slots adapted to the inserting plate 7 are provided on the upper surface of the mounting block 10 , and a rubber layer is fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of the slots.

[0028] A mounting groove is formed on the left side wall of the mounting block 10 , and a laser rangefinder 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting groove.

[0029] The left end of the slide rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner left side wall of the base 1 , and the right end of the slide rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner right side wall of the base 1 .

[0030] The connection end of the RF female socket 5 corresponds to the RF head of the communication base station 3 on the left and right, and the connection end of the conversion female socket 6 corresponds to the conversion head of the test fixture 2 on the left and right.

[0031] In addition, the control system in the device can adopt a programmable logic controller, which is a commonly used industrial automation control device with the advantages of flexible programming, high reliability, and easy expansion. It can accurately control the motion parameters of the electric push rod 9 through programming, and at the same time receive and process the data of the laser rangefinder 14. The programmable logic controller can also communicate with other automation equipment, such as test equipment, human-machine interface, etc., to realize automatic control of the entire test process.

[0032] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0033] First, start the control system and set relevant parameters, including the extension and retraction speed of the electric push rod 9 and the sensitivity of the laser rangefinder 14. Then, firmly place the test fixture 2 on the mounting block 10 through the plug-in plate 7 at the bottom of the test fixture 2, and securely install the communication base station 3 on the top of the test fixture 2, ensuring that the RF head is facing the direction of the RF female socket 5.

[0034] Subsequently, the control system resets the movable rods of the three electric push rods 9 to their initial positions, starts the laser rangefinder 14, and performs necessary calibration operations to ensure the accuracy of its measurement results. After that, the automatic docking program is started in the control system. The control system controls the three electric push rods 9 to work together based on the real-time distance data provided by the laser rangefinder 14, pushing the mounting block 10 and the test fixture 2 and communication base station 3 thereon to move in the direction of the slide bar 13;

[0035] During this process, the laser rangefinder 14 continuously monitors the distance between the test fixture 2 and the RF female socket 5 and the conversion female socket 6, and feeds the data back to the control system. The control system accurately controls the extension length and speed of the electric push rod 9 according to the feedback data until the RF head of the communication base station 3 and the RF female socket 5, and the conversion head of the test fixture 2 and the conversion female socket 6 are accurately docked;

[0036] The test equipment sends a test signal to the communication base station 3 through the RF socket 5 and the conversion socket 6. The test equipment collects and analyzes the response data of the communication base station 3 to the test signal. Based on the collected response data, it evaluates whether the performance of the communication base station 3 meets the expected standards. When the test is completed, the control system will issue an instruction to stop sending the test signal. The control system controls the electric push rod 9 to move the test fixture 2 and the communication base station 3 back to the initial position, and finally turns off the control system and power supply to ensure that the device is in a safe state.

[0037] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device that controls a computer, etc., and the existing public power connection technology is not described in detail in this article.
