[0029] The following is an explanation of a testing device provided in the embodiments of this application through specific examples. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a testing device provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: a test host 1, a control board 2, a telephone 3, and an on / off switch assembly 4.
[0031] The first communication interface of the test host 1 is wired to the communication interface of the control board 2. The input / output interface of the control board 2 is wired to the control terminal of the on / off phone assembly 4. The operation terminal of the on / off phone assembly 4 is positioned opposite to the spring of the telephone 3, so that the spring of the telephone 3 can be pressed or released under the action of the on / off phone assembly 4. The telephone connection interface of the telephone 3 is connected to the voice interface of the call gateway module 5 under test through a telephone line. The second communication interface of the test host 1 is wired to the communication interface of the call gateway module 5 under test.
[0032] During testing, the test host 1 sends test control commands to the control board 2 via the first communication interface. The control board 2 parses the test control commands and, based on their content, sends control commands to the control terminal of the on / off phone assembly 4 via the input / output interface. The operating terminal of the on / off phone assembly 4 follows the control commands, pressing / releasing the spring of the telephone 3 to connect / hang up the phone. In other words, the test host 1 connects / hangs up the phone via the control board 2 and the on / off phone assembly 4, eliminating the need for test personnel to manually connect or hang up the phone, thus improving testing efficiency and reducing labor costs.
[0033] The call gateway module 5 under test is used to implement network connectivity and call functions. Telephone 3 is connected to the call gateway module 5 under test and can make calls. Test host 1 is connected to the call gateway module 5 under test and can monitor its call status, thus enabling testing of the call gateway module 5 under test.
[0034] For example, telephone 3 is a Gigaset DA260 model telephone, and the telephone line is an RJ11 telephone line. The testing device provided in this embodiment can also be used to test telephone 3.
[0035] In summary, in this embodiment, the device includes: a test host, a control board, a telephone, and an on / off switch assembly. The first communication interface of the test host is wired to the communication interface of the control board. The input / output interfaces of the control board are wired to the control terminal of the on / off switch assembly. The operating terminal of the on / off switch assembly is positioned opposite to the telephone's spring, allowing the on / off switch assembly to press or release the spring. The telephone's telephone connection interface is connected to the voice interface of the call gateway module under test via a telephone line. The second communication interface of the test host is wired to the communication interface of the call gateway module under test. Therefore, no operator is required to connect or disconnect the telephone, improving testing efficiency and accuracy, and reducing labor costs.
[0036] In the above Figure 1 Based on the corresponding embodiments, this application also provides a hook-and-loop assembly. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a hook-and-loop assembly provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the hook-and-go assembly 4 includes a servo motor 41 and a swing arm 42. The control end of the hook-and-go assembly 4 is the control end of the servo motor 41, the drive end of the servo motor 41 drives and connects to one end of the swing arm 42, and the other end of the swing arm 42 is the operation end of the hook-and-go assembly 4.
[0038] By controlling the rotation of the servo motor, the rotation of the swing arm is achieved. Through changes in the angle and displacement of the swing arm, the spring of telephone 3 is pressed / released.
[0039] In summary, in this embodiment, the hook-and-go assembly includes a servo motor and a swing arm; the control end of the hook-and-go assembly is the control end of the servo motor, the drive end of the servo motor drives and connects to one end of the swing arm, and the other end of the swing arm is the operating end of the hook-and-go assembly. Thus, precise hook-and-go operation is achieved.
[0040] In the above Figure 1 Based on the corresponding embodiments, this application also provides another testing device. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another testing device provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the handset interface of telephone 3 is also wired to the headphone interface of test host 1 via telephone handset cable.
[0042] Test host 1 acquires the voice data of telephone 3 through the telephone handset cable.
[0043] For example, the test host 1 can also play / record test audio sources through the sound card and play DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) to the telephone 3, thereby realizing the automatic dialing function.
[0044] In the above Figure 1 Based on the corresponding embodiments, in another embodiment of this application, the first serial communication interface of the test host 1 is wired to the communication interface of the control board 2.
[0045] For example, the first serial communication interface of the test host 1 is connected to the communication interface of the control board 2 via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) data cable.
[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In another embodiment of this application, the second serial communication interface of the test host 1 is wired to the communication interface of the call gateway module under test.
[0047] The second serial communication interface of the test host 1 is connected to the communication interface of the call gateway module under test via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) data cable.
[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In another embodiment of this application, the general-purpose input / output interface of the control board 2 is wired to the control terminal of the hook-and-go component 4.
[0049] For example, control board 2 can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) with a GPIO (General-purpose input / output) interface. Test host 1 controls the MCU's GPIO interface to output a PWM (Pulse-width modulation) waveform. The duty cycle of the PWM waveform controls the rotation angle of the servo motor of the on / off phone assembly 4, thus controlling the on / off phone assembly 4 to connect / disconnect the phone.
[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The call gateway module 5 under test is a communication development board, which is equipped with a communication module and a voice chip. The telephone connection interface of the telephone is connected to the voice interface of the voice chip through a telephone line, and the second communication interface of the test host 1 is wired to the communication interface of the communication module.
[0051] For example, the voice chip is an SLIC chip.
[0052] For example, the communication development board in this instance is a call gateway module under test during the product development phase, representing the implementation method during the product development phase.
[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In another embodiment of this application, the digital audio interface of the communication module is connected to the digital audio interface of the voice chip.
[0054] For example, the digital audio interface is a PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) interface. The communication module and the voice chip transmit digital audio signals via the PCM interface. The voice chip's PCM interface receives the analog audio signal sent by the communication module's digital audio interface and samples it at equal time intervals (i.e., sampling rate clock cycles) to convert the analog audio signal into a digital audio signal. The voice chip receives the digital audio signal, converts it back into an analog audio signal, and transmits it to the telephone's telephone connection interface to drive the telephone, thus enabling the call function.
[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In another embodiment of this application, the call gateway module 5 under test is a voice gateway device. The telephone connection interface of the telephone is connected to the voice interface of the voice gateway device through a telephone line, and the second communication interface of the test host 1 is wired to the communication interface of the voice gateway device.
[0056] For example, the voice gateway device in this instance is a call gateway module under test during the product application phase. That is, the voice gateway device can also be tested after the product development is completed.
[0057] The following is an explanation of a call testing system provided in the embodiments of this application through specific examples.
[0058] The system includes at least one of the testing devices described in the above examples, and a call gateway module under test. The telephone connection interface of the telephone in the system is connected to the voice interface of the call gateway module under test via a telephone line. The second communication interface of the test host in the system is wired to the communication interface of the call gateway module under test. The specific testing implementation is similar to the above embodiments, and the structural diagram of the call test system is as described above. Figure 1 , Figure 3 Similarly, this will not be elaborated upon here.
[0059] It should be noted that each element and the connection method between elements in this application are existing technologies and are not described in detail, so there will be no ambiguity.
