Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parallel port device testing technology, specifically to a testing fixture and testing system for parallel port devices. Background Technology

Therefore, the interfaces of OLED display products need to correspond one-to-one with the interfaces of test fixtures.
[0003] Due to the large variety of parallel port devices currently available and the lack of universal testing fixtures, the types and quantities of testing fixtures are also increasing, making it inconvenient to manage, test, and maintain them. Utility Model Content

[0007] An adapter component, one end of which is communicatively connected to the test interface, and the other end of which is communicatively connected to the output interface;
[0008] The wiring sequence definition of the adapter cable in the adapter component corresponds to the interface definition of the output interface, and the interface definition of the output interface corresponds to the type of the parallel port device.
[0009] Beneficial effects: By setting up an adapter component and matching the wiring sequence definition of the adapter cable in the adapter component with the interface definition of the output interface, and matching the interface definition of the output interface with the type of the parallel port device, this utility model allows technicians to simply develop corresponding adapter cables for different parallel port devices without having to customize the entire testing device separately.

[0016] A crimping device is connected to the other end of the adapter assembly;
[0017] The crimping device has a crimping platform and a crimping probe on the end face near the parallel port device. When the crimping platform applies pressure to the parallel port device, the crimping probe is crimped to the output interface.

[0035] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0036] The specifications of parallel port devices (6) vary. For example, the driver chips, interface definitions, and physical dimensions of parallel port OLED display products differ, resulting in different requirements for test fixtures. This necessitates a one-to-one correspondence between the OLED display product's interface and the test fixture's interface. Due to the large variety of parallel port devices (6) and the lack of universal test fixtures, the types and quantities of test fixtures are increasing, making management, testing, and maintenance inconvenient.
[0037] In view of this, the present invention provides a test fixture and test system for a parallel port device 6 to solve the problem that the test fixture is not universal.
[0038] The following is combined Figs. 1 to 3 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a test fixture for a parallel port device 6 is provided, the test fixture including a test device 2 and an adapter component 1.
[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the testing device 2 is used to test the parallel port device 6. The testing device 2 is provided with a testing interface, and the parallel port device 6 is provided with an output interface. In practical applications, the testing device 2 can integrate test programs for various parallel port devices 6. By selecting the product model of the parallel port device 6 to be tested, the corresponding parallel port device 6 can be tested.
[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, one end of the adapter component 1 is communicatively connected to the test interface, and the other end of the adapter component 1 is communicatively connected to the output interface. The wiring sequence definition of the adapter cable in the adapter component 1 corresponds to the interface definition of the output interface, and the interface definition of the output interface corresponds to the type of the parallel port device 6.
[0042] With this configuration, this embodiment of the invention sets up an adapter component 1 and defines the wiring sequence of the adapter cable in the adapter component 1 in correspondence with the interface definition of the output interface. The interface definition of the output interface corresponds to the type of the parallel port device 6. This allows technicians to only need to develop corresponding adapter cables for different parallel port devices 6 without having to customize the entire test device 2 separately. This enables the device to be compatible with testing different types of parallel port devices 6 and meets the testing requirements of most parallel port devices 6.
[0043] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the wiring sequence of the adapter cable in the adapter component 1 is defined as having N types, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1. In practical applications, the interface definition wiring sequence of the parallel port devices 6 is statistically analyzed. It is found that most parallel port devices 6 have the same interface definition, only different wiring sequences, which can be divided into N types. One end of the adapter cable with N wiring sequences is connected to the test device 2, and the other end of the adapter cable is connected to the parallel port device 6 product.
[0044] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the testing device 2 is a control board with a screen.
[0045] Furthermore, in an optional implementation, the test interface of the control board with screen is a DB25 interface.
[0046] Furthermore, in an optional implementation, the parallel port device 6 has a separate interface definition sequence, and flying wires are used to connect the same control pins of the test interface and the output interface. For example, if pin 5 of the test interface and pin 8 of the output interface are both control pins, then the same control pins are connected using flying wires.
[0047] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the other end of the adapter component 1 is crimped to the output interface under the action of external force.
[0048] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the test fixture further includes a crimping device connected to the other end of the adapter assembly 1. Specifically, the adapter assembly 1 can be connected using a 2.54-pitch female connector and the crimping device. The crimping device has a crimping platform 3 and a crimping probe on its end face near the parallel port device 6. When the crimping platform 3 applies pressure to the parallel port device 6, the crimping probe is crimped to the output interface.
[0049] Furthermore, in an optional implementation, the test fixture further includes:
[0050] Base plate 4, suitable for placing the parallel port device 6;
[0051] Several positioning components are movably disposed on the base plate 4; the several positioning components are adapted to fix the parallel port device 6 so that the pad hole of the parallel port device 6 is in just contact with the crimping probe; when the crimping table 3 applies pressure to the parallel port device 6, the crimping probe is fully inserted into the pad hole, so that the parallel port device 6 and the crimping probe are fully connected.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, after the output interface and adapter cable are connected, they are connected to the parallel port device 6 via a crimping method. The positioning component can be adjusted arbitrarily. The position of the positioning component is determined according to the shape of the parallel port device 6 to be tested, thereby fixing the parallel port device 6. Then, the crimping table 3 applies pressure to the parallel port device 6, thereby realizing the connection between the test fixture and the parallel port device 6, and testing the parallel port device 6.
[0053] With this configuration, this embodiment of the invention allows for flexible adjustment of the positioning component's actual position based on the actual shape and structure of the parallel port device 6. This ensures stable positioning of the parallel port device 6, eliminating the need for a specially manufactured device corresponding to the parallel port device 6 for fixation. The positioning component and the base plate can meet the needs of all types of devices. To a certain extent, this can save on production costs.
[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the utility model, the detachable connection between the positioning component and the base plate 4 can be fixed by screw holes, by clips and slots, or by magnetic attraction.
[0055] The following provides examples of detachable connection methods. For instance, additional fixing plates can be provided around the edges of the positioning component. Those skilled in the art can change the number of fixing plates according to actual needs, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Screw holes are then made on the fixing plates, and another screw hole is made on the base plate 4 at the corresponding screw hole position. Screws are then passed through the screw holes on the fixing plates and the screw holes on the base plate 4 in sequence to connect the positioning component to the base plate 4. Furthermore, when using a snap-fit and slot method for fixing, snap-fits can be additionally provided around the edges of the positioning component. Those skilled in the art can change the number of snap-fits according to actual needs, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Slots that can cooperate with the snap-fits are then made on the base plate 4 at the corresponding snap-fit positions. The snap-fits on the positioning component are then directly embedded into the slots on the base plate 4, thereby connecting the positioning component to the base plate 4. When fixing by magnetic attraction, additional magnetic sheets can be set around the edge of the positioning component. Those skilled in the art can change the number of magnetic sheets according to the actual situation, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Then, opposite magnetic sheets that can attract the magnetic sheets are made on the base plate 4 at the positions corresponding to the magnetic sheets. Then, the magnetic sheets on the positioning component are directly aligned with the opposite magnetic sheets embedded on the base plate 4, thereby magnetically connecting the positioning component and the base plate 4.
[0056] Of course, this embodiment is merely an example of fixed connection and detachable connection, but it does not limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes according to the actual situation to achieve the same technical effect.
[0057] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the positioning component includes a positioning bracket 5 and a screw stud. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the positioning bracket 5 has a strip-shaped sliding hole, and the screw stud passes through the sliding hole to detachably screw the positioning bracket 5 onto the base plate 4.
[0058] Secondly, this utility model also provides a testing system for a parallel port device 6, the testing system comprising: the testing fixture for the parallel port device 6 as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0059] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
