[0055] In related technologies, after the vehicle communication module is manufactured, it needs to be tested and labeled. Testing and labeling are performed manually or through different tests, resulting in low testing efficiency. This application provides a testing device for vehicle communication modules to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0056] For ease of description and understanding, the state of the test equipment during use is used as a reference. The longer horizontal direction is the longitudinal direction, and the shorter horizontal direction is the transverse direction. The transverse and longitudinal directions are perpendicular. The up-down direction is the vertical direction.

[0057] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the testing equipment of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the vehicle-mounted communication module in this utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the feeding module of this utility model.

[0058] See Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a testing device for an in-vehicle communication module. A T-Box (Telematics Box) is an in-vehicle communication module used to connect a vehicle to an external network. It typically includes components such as a GPS positioning system, a wireless communication interface (920), and a microcontroller, enabling real-time monitoring of the vehicle's operating status and data exchange with other devices. After assembly, the in-vehicle communication module needs to be tested and labeled accordingly for use in downstream processes.

[0059] In some embodiments, the testing equipment may include a frame 100 and a feeding module 200. The upper surface of the frame 100 forms a worktable 110, and the testing equipment may include multiple modules disposed on the worktable 110. The frame 100 forms a base for the testing equipment to support it.

[0060] See Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, an in-vehicle communication module 900 is provided, including a housing 910 and electronic components disposed within the housing 910. The electronic components are used for computation and operation, and the housing 910 is used to support and protect the electronic components. The housing 910 forms a box structure, and the outer periphery of the housing 910 forms a rectangular structure.

[0061] The vehicle communication module 900 also includes an interface 920, which is fixed to one side of the housing 910 and electrically connected to the electronic components inside the housing 910. The interface 920 is used to connect to external devices for signal transmission. The interface 920 is also used to connect to a power source. Multiple interfaces 920 are provided for transmitting different signals. When testing the vehicle communication module 900, the corresponding interface 920 on the test equipment is plugged into the interface 920 of the vehicle communication module 900.

[0062] In one embodiment, the interface 920 protrudes beyond the outer surface of the housing 910. In other embodiments, the outer end of the interface 920 does not extend beyond the outer surface of the housing 910.

[0063] In some embodiments, the feeding module 200 is used for feeding the vehicle communication module 900. The feeding module 200 extends from outside the worktable 110 to above the worktable 110. The downward projection of the feeding module 200 is located on the worktable 110, and part of it is located outside the worktable 110. This allows the vehicle communication module 900 to be conveyed to the coverage area of ​​the worktable 110 through the feeding module 200 while occupying a smaller area of ​​the worktable 110, so as to facilitate the gripping or picking up of the corresponding structure on the testing equipment.

[0064] The feeding module 200 may include a feeding conveyor rail 210 and a feeding support platform 220. The feeding conveyor rail 210 extends from the worktable 110 and extends above the worktable 110, and the feeding support platform 220 is slidably connected to the feeding conveyor rail 210. The feeding support platform 220 is used to carry and transport the vehicle communication module 900 to the worktable 110.

[0065] The feeding conveyor rail 210 is a linear guide rail, with its vertical projection portion located on the worktable 110 and its portion located outside the worktable 110. The feeding carrier platform 220 carries the vehicle communication module 900, which is transported or placed upstream, outside the worktable 110. The feeding carrier platform 220 moves along the feeding conveyor rail 210, and when it moves to above the worktable 110, it moves the vehicle communication module 900 to above the worktable 110 for testing.

[0066] The feeding platform 220 is equipped with multiple feeding stations 221, which can simultaneously transport multiple vehicle communication modules 900. Specifically, multiple protruding positioning ribs 222 are formed on the feeding platform 220, and the positioning ribs 222 enclose a positioning frame. The feeding station 221 is formed on the upper surface of the feeding platform 220 within the positioning frame.

[0067] The feeding module 200 may also include a feeding drive unit 230, which drives the feeding support platform 220 to slide on the feeding conveyor rail 210. The feeding drive unit 230 may be a cylinder or a motor, etc.

[0068] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the test module of this utility model. Figure 5 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the test module of this utility model.

[0069] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The testing equipment also includes a test module 300, which is located within the enclosure of the workbench 110. The test module 300, mounted on the workbench 110, is used for testing the vehicle communication module. The vehicle communication module on the feeding module 200 is moved to the test module 300 for testing.

[0070] The test module 300 may include a test fixture 310 and a test head 320. A test platform 311 is formed on the upper surface of the test fixture 310 for holding the vehicle communication module. The test head 320 is configured to mate with the interface 920 of the vehicle communication module for testing the vehicle communication module.

[0071] In some embodiments, a test platform 311 is formed on the upper surface of the test fixture 310, and a protruding stop rib 312 is formed on the test platform 311 to stop and limit the vehicle communication module 900. The stop rib 312 stops the vehicle communication module 900 on multiple edges of the test platform 311 to position the vehicle communication module 900 on the test platform 311, thereby facilitating the insertion of the test head 320.

[0072] In other embodiments, the test head 320 is slidably mounted on the test frame 310. The test head 320 can be inserted into the interface 920 of the vehicle communication module 900 on the test bench 311 for testing. After the test is completed, the test head 320 slides, separating from the corresponding vehicle communication module 900. A cylinder or motor is connected to the test head 320 to drive its movement.

[0073] In some embodiments, the test module 300 may further include a lateral limiting component 330, which is used to stop the vehicle communication module on one side of the test bench 311 in a lateral direction, so that the two sides of the vehicle communication module are respectively stopped between the lateral limiting component 330 and the stop rib 312. A cylinder is provided between the lateral limiting component 330 and the test frame 310 to drive the lateral limiting component 330 to slide.

[0074] In other embodiments, the lateral limiting components 330 are arranged at lateral intervals and are used to stop the vehicle communication module on the test bench 311 from the opposite sides laterally.

[0075] In some embodiments, the test module 300 may further include a longitudinal limiting component 340, which is used to stop on one side of the vehicle communication module in the longitudinal direction, so that the two sides of the vehicle communication module in the longitudinal direction are respectively stopped between the longitudinal limiting component 340 and the stop rib 312. A cylinder is provided between the longitudinal limiting component 340 and the test frame 310 for driving the longitudinal limiting component 340 to slide.

[0076] In other embodiments, longitudinal limiting components 340 are arranged at longitudinal intervals and are used to stop the vehicle communication module on the test bench 311 on opposite sides in the longitudinal direction.

[0077] In one embodiment, a protruding stop rib 312 is formed on the test bench 311. The stop rib is located on the outer periphery of the vehicle communication module on the test bench 311 and is spaced apart from the outer periphery of the vehicle communication module to facilitate the vertical placement of the vehicle communication module on the test bench 311. After the vehicle communication module is placed on the test bench 311, the lateral limiting component 330 and the longitudinal limiting component 340 move to position the vehicle communication module on the test bench 311.

[0078] In some embodiments, the test module 300 may further include a vertical limiting component 350, which stops the upper surface of the vehicle communication module to press the vehicle communication module downward onto the test bench 311.

[0079] The vertical limiting assembly 350 includes a vertical displacement unit 351 and a vertical stop plate 352. The stop plate is disposed on the vertical displacement unit 351, which is slidably connected to the test frame 310 in a vertical direction, so as to drive the stop plate to move vertically and press the stop plate against the upper surface of the vehicle communication module. A cylinder is provided between the vertical displacement unit 351 and the test frame 310 to enable the vertical displacement unit 351 to move vertically.

[0080] A stop plate is rotatably connected to the vertical displacement unit 351 about a vertical axis, allowing it to switch between a stop position and a release position. A rotary cylinder or motor is provided between the stop plate and the vertical displacement unit 351, enabling the stop plate to rotate relative to the vertical displacement unit 351. One end of the stop plate in the longitudinal direction is connected to the vertical displacement unit 351.

[0081] When in the stop position, the stop plate can stop the upper surface of the vehicle communication module; when in the release position, the vertical projection of the stop plate and the vertical projection of the vehicle communication module on the test bench 311 are misaligned, and the vehicle communication module can be moved upward for separation from the test module 300.

[0082] The stop plate blocks the upper surface of the vehicle communication module at the stop position, thereby limiting the vehicle communication module in the vertical direction between the stop plate and the test bench 311, thus ensuring the accurate vertical position of the interface 920 of the vehicle communication module.

[0083] In some embodiments, multiple test modules 300 are provided, and the multiple test modules 300 are arranged at intervals on the workbench 110.

[0084] In other implementations, multiple test modules 300 are placed on the workbench 110 in different orientations to make the structure of the test modules 300 on the workbench 110 more compact and reduce the area occupied by the test equipment.

[0085] Figure 6 This is a structural schematic diagram of the handling module of this utility model.

[0086] See Figure 6 The testing equipment may also include a handling module 400, which is used to grasp or attach the vehicle communication module for movement within the testing equipment. A single testing unit facilitates the movement of the vehicle communication module within the overall testing equipment, eliminating the need for multiple handling structures and allowing for a more compact structure.

[0087] In some embodiments, the transport module 400 may include a transport head 410 for gripping or adsorbing the vehicle communication module. The transport head 410 is movable in both horizontal and vertical directions for moving the vehicle communication module.

[0088] In one embodiment, the transport head 410 is a suction cup, capable of picking up the vehicle communication module by adsorption. In other embodiments, the transport head 410 is a gripper structure, capable of transporting the vehicle communication module by gripping.

[0089] In some embodiments, the conveying module 400 may further include a longitudinal guide rail 420 and a transverse guide rail 430. The longitudinal guide rail 420 is disposed above the worktable 110 and extends longitudinally; both ends of the longitudinal guide rail 420 extend beyond the worktable 110. The transverse guide rail 430 is disposed above the worktable 110 and extends transversely; both ends of the transverse guide rail 430 extend beyond the worktable 110; the transverse guide rail 430 is slidably disposed on the longitudinal guide rail 420; the conveying head 410 is fixed on the transverse guide rail 430.

[0090] The longitudinal guide rail 420 extends beyond the worktable 110 at both ends along the longitudinal direction, enabling the transport head 410 to move longitudinally to any position on the worktable 110. The transverse guide rail 430 extends beyond the worktable 110 at both ends along the transverse direction, enabling the transport head 410 to move transversely to any position on the worktable 110. Through the arrangement of the transport head 410 on the longitudinal guide rail 420 and the transverse guide rail 430, the transport head 410 is configured to transport the vehicle communication module 900 to any position within the area enclosed by the worktable 110.

[0091] In some embodiments, a motor or cylinder is provided between the transverse guide rail 430 and the longitudinal guide rail 420 to drive the transverse guide rail 430 to move longitudinally on the longitudinal guide rail 420. A motor or cylinder is provided between the transverse guide rail 430 and the conveying head 410 to drive the conveying head 410 to move laterally on the guide rail.

[0092] In some embodiments, the transport head 410 is slidably disposed vertically on the transverse guide rail 430; the transport head 410 is rotatable about a vertical axis. The transport head 410 is slidably disposed vertically on the transverse guide rail 430 so as to drive the vehicle communication module 900 to move vertically. Combined with the longitudinal and transverse movements of the transport head 410, the transport head 410 can drive the vehicle communication module 900 to move horizontally and vertically.

[0093] The transport head 410 can rotate around a vertical axis to further adjust the angle of the vehicle communication module 900 to accommodate placement on different modules, thus enabling the vehicle communication module 900 transported by a single transport module 400 to be adapted to different modules. For example, in some embodiments, multiple test modules 300 are provided, and the multiple test modules 300 are placed in different directions, thus requiring the vehicle communication module 900 to be placed on the corresponding test module 300 at different angles.

[0094] See again Figure 1 The test module 300 also includes a labeling module 500, which is set on the workbench 110 and is used for labeling the vehicle communication module.

[0095] In one embodiment, the labeling module 500 provides a label, the transport module 400 absorbs the label, and affixes the label to the vehicle communication module 900. The transport module 400 can be used not only to transport the vehicle communication module 900, but also to move the label and apply it.

[0096] In another embodiment, the labeling module 500 is capable of providing and affixing labels.

[0097] The labeling module 500 is at least partially located within the enclosure of the workbench 110. Specifically, the labeling module 500 extends from outside the workbench 110 and above the workbench 110, and the conveying module 400 is capable of adsorbing the label on the labeling module 500. The fact that the labeling module 500 is partially located outside the workbench 110 allows for a more compact structure on the workbench 110, reducing the footprint of the testing equipment.

[0098] In some embodiments, the testing equipment may further include a conductive cotton supply module for providing conductive cotton, and the transport module 400 is capable of adsorbing the conductive cotton and attaching the conductive cotton to the vehicle communication module 900.

[0099] In other embodiments, the testing equipment also includes a vision component for acquiring images, such as tag information. One or more vision components may be provided. For example, some vision components may be located on the transport head 410.

[0100] Figure 7This is a structural schematic diagram of the flip module of this utility model.

[0101] See Figure 7 The testing equipment may also include a flip module 600, which is set on the workbench 110 and located within the enclosed area of ​​the workbench 110; the flip module 600 is configured to hold the vehicle communication module and drive the vehicle communication module to flip in both directions.

[0102] In this application, the front and back sides are the two opposite sides of the vehicle communication module. The side of the vehicle communication module placed on the feeding module 200 and facing upward is the front side, and the side facing downward is the back side.

[0103] In one embodiment, when applying labels or conductive cotton, the labels need to be attached to the back of the vehicle communication module. This requires the vehicle communication module to be flipped by the flip module 600, which facilitates labeling on the back of the vehicle communication module.

[0104] In some embodiments, after the flip module 600 flips the vehicle communication module, the transport head 410 moves the label to be attached to the vehicle communication module of the flip module 600.

[0105] In other embodiments, the test module 300 does not include the flipping module 600, and the transport head 410 drives the label to be directly attached to the front of the vehicle communication module 900.

[0106] In some embodiments, the flip module 600 includes two clamping frames 610 and two clamping blocks 620. The two clamping frames 610 are spaced apart; the two clamping blocks 620 are disposed on opposite sides of the two clamping frames 610; the two clamping blocks 620 are positioned opposite each other to clamp the vehicle communication module on opposite sides; the two clamping blocks 620 are rotatable relative to the clamping frames 610 about a horizontal axis; the axes of the two clamping blocks 620 coincide. The two clamping blocks 620 are disposed on opposite sides of the two clamping frames 610 to clamp the vehicle communication module. The clamping blocks 620 are rotatable relative to the clamping frames 610 about a horizontal axis to flip the clamped vehicle communication module.

[0107] In one embodiment, a rotary cylinder or motor is provided between the clamping block 620 and the clamping frame 610 so that the clamping block 620 can rotate relative to the clamping frame 610.

[0108] In some embodiments, the flip module 600 further includes a clamping assembly 630; two clamping brackets 610 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the clamping assembly 630, so that the two clamping brackets 610 can move closer together and further apart. The two clamping brackets 610 moving closer together and further apart causes the two clamping blocks 620 to move closer together and further apart, so as to clamp and release the vehicle communication module, so that the vehicle communication module can be limited on the flip module 600 and can be removed from the flip module 600.

[0109] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the material discharge module of this utility model.

[0110] See Figure 8 and combined Figure 1 The testing equipment also includes a discharge module 700, which is used for discharging the vehicle communication module 900. After testing, the vehicle communication module 900 can be placed on the discharge module 700 for downstream transport.

[0111] In some embodiments, the tested, labeled, and conductive cotton-coated vehicle communication module 900 is transported by a transport module and placed on the discharge module 700 for downward conveying. The discharge module 700 is at least partially located within the enclosure of the workbench 110, so that the transport head 410 of the transport module 400 can place the vehicle communication module 900 on the discharge module 700.

[0112] It should be noted that in this application, the test module 300 is set on the workbench 110, the labeling module 500 is set on the workbench 110, and the transport head 410 is configured to transport the vehicle communication module 900 at any position within the enclosed area of ​​the workbench 110. Thus, the vehicle communication module 900 can be moved into and out of the test module 300 and the labeling module 500 through the transport head 410, so that the vehicle communication module 900 can be automatically tested and labeled on the same workbench 110, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the vehicle communication module.

[0113] The feeding module 200 extends from outside the workbench 110 to above it, and the discharging module 700 extends from above the workbench 110 to outside it. The testing module 300 and the labeling module 500 are located within the enclosure of the workbench 110. The transport head 410 is configured to transport the vehicle communication module 900 at any position within the enclosure of the workbench 110, thereby enabling the transport of the vehicle communication module 900 between any modules using a single transport module 400. Compared to the prior art, which sets multiple transport structures at multiple different positions, this application uses a single transport module 400, making the structure of the testing equipment larger and more compact, reducing its size and space requirements, and facilitating transportation and placement.

[0114] In some embodiments, the discharge module 700 includes a discharge rack 710, a discharge belt 720 disposed on the discharge rack 710, and a discharge power unit 730. The belt is used to carry the vehicle communication module 900. The belt is movably disposed on the discharge rack 710, and the discharge power unit 730 is used to drive the belt to move.

[0115] Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of the defective product storage module of this utility model.

[0116] See Figure 1 and Figure 9 The testing equipment also includes a defective product storage module 800, on which communication modules that fail the test are placed for buffering. The defective product storage module 800 is at least partially located within the enclosure of the workbench 110.

[0117] In some embodiments, only one transport module 400 is provided on the test equipment, and all modules on the test module 300 are at least partially located within the coverage area of ​​the workbench 110, so that the vehicle communication module 900 can be moved between the modules through a single transport module 400.
