[0014] The application achieves the purpose, functional characteristics and advantages, which will be further described with reference to the drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application more clear, the technical scheme of the application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the application.

[0016] The first embodiment of the application provides a general power automatic test system, which comprises Figure 1As shown, the interface module, the relay array board, the voltage test module, the channel expansion module, the control module, the isolation circuit and the drive circuit are included, wherein the input end of the interface module is connected to the power supply to be tested, and is used to divide the output voltage of the power supply to be tested into a test voltage and a load voltage; the relay array board includes a plurality of relays, and the input end of the relay array board is connected to the interface module, and is used to switch the output channel of the test voltage of the power supply to be tested; the input end of the voltage test module is connected to the output end of the relay array board, and is used to test the output voltage of any channel of the relay array board; the input end of the channel expansion module is connected to the control module, and is used to increase the signal transmission channel to a preset number, and the preset number is the same as the number of relays; the control module is connected to the input end of the channel expansion module, and is used to send a control signal to each signal transmission channel; the input end of the isolation circuit is connected to the output end of the channel expansion module, and is used to isolate the control signals between the signal transmission channels; and the input end of the drive circuit is connected to the output end of the isolation circuit, and the output end is connected to each relay, and is used to power amplify and convert the control signals of the signal transmission channels, and drive the corresponding relays to be turned on.

[0017] In the embodiment, the output end of the interface module is respectively connected to the output end of the relay array board and the input end of the load, the output voltage of the power supply to be tested is divided into the voltage test module for testing and the load for power consumption, so that the test result is not dependent on the voltage division effect between the load and the cable, and the new electronic load and the traditional resistive load can be applied. For example, the control module is a 51 single-chip microcomputer, the 51 single-chip microcomputer receives the channel switching instruction sent by the upper computer, sends a control instruction to the corresponding signal transmission channel according to a preset serial number, controls the corresponding relay to be turned on, and tests the power supply to be tested. Each relay of the relay array board is mainly used for isolation protection, and the relay can isolate the input and output circuits, so that the test voltage of each channel at the output end of the power supply to be tested is isolated from the circuit of the signal transmission channel.

[0018] Further, the crystal oscillator circuit is further included, and the output end is connected to the control module, and is used to provide a reference clock source for the control module. For example, the crystal oscillator circuit includes an active crystal oscillator, and the active crystal oscillator is connected to the control module.

[0019] For example, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the isolation circuit includes a plurality of optocouplers, and each optocoupler is connected to the signal transmission channel of the channel expansion module. The isolation circuit can prevent interference signals between the signal transmission channels from being transmitted to each other, improve the signal quality, and prevent the high-voltage electrical signal at the test end from directly contacting the low-voltage control end, so as to avoid damage to the control circuit caused by voltage crosstalk.

[0020] The drive circuit comprises a plurality of triodes, the input end of each triode is connected with the photoelectric coupler correspondingly, and the output end is connected with the corresponding relay. The drive circuit is mainly used for power amplification and conversion of the control signal to drive the load to work normally. Since the control signal (weak current signal from the control module) has small power, it cannot directly drive the relay to work. The drive circuit can amplify these signals, provide sufficient current and voltage, and make the power semiconductor device work normally. The drive circuit can provide appropriate on and off signals, and can control the switching speed to ensure that the transistor can work stably and reliably.

[0021] The working principle of the universal power automatic test system is as follows:

[0022] The interface module divides the voltage of the power to be tested, one way is connected to the load for power output, and the other way is connected to the relay array board for testing; the drive circuit is respectively connected with each relay normally open pin; after the single-chip microcomputer receives the start channel switching command sent by the upper computer, the control signal is sent to the first signal transmission channel, the control signal passes through the photoelectric coupler 1 and the triode 1, and the normally open point of the relay 1 is closed, the connection with the voltage test module is turned on, and the test is performed; at the same time, the single-chip microcomputer sends the first channel switching state information to the upper computer; the above process is repeated in turn until the whole channel test is completed.

[0023] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the application, and does not limit the patent scope of the application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the application.
