[0066] It can be understood that by converting the power supply signal provided by the input power supply into the power supply excitation signal, the enable signal and the discrete quantity signal required for the software loading device 00 to load software to the target device 01 through the power supply conversion module 3, the enable signal conversion module 4 and the discrete quantity conversion module 5, the software loading device 00 can simulate the working environment required when the target device 01 loads software, and ensure that the target device 01 is in a safe and suitable state for software loading, so as to ensure that the loading device 02 can effectively load software to the target device 01 through the software loading device 00, and realize that the target device 01 can be loaded with ground software through the software loading device 00 without being installed, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of software loading.

[0067] The embodiment sets a target end device connector, a loading end device connector and an Ethernet port switching module in the software loading device, wherein the target end device connector is used to connect the target end device, so that the software loading device can transmit data with the target end device. The loading end device connector is used to connect the loading end device, and is electrically connected with the target end device connector and the loading end device connector through the Ethernet port switching module, so that the loading end device connector can transmit the software loading data provided by the loading end device to the Ethernet port switching module. The Ethernet port switching module can convert the software loading data into an Ethernet protocol format and transmit it to the target end device through the target end device connector, thereby realizing software loading for the target end device through the software loading device. At the same time, the software loading device is provided with a power supply switching module, an enable signal switching module and a discrete quantity switching module, and the power supply switching module, the enable signal switching module and the discrete quantity switching module are electrically connected with the target end device connector, so that the power supply switching module, the enable signal switching module and the discrete quantity switching module can convert the power supply signal provided by the input power supply into the power supply excitation signal, the enable signal and the discrete quantity signal required by the software loading device for software loading of the target end device, and provide them to the target end device through the target end device connector, so that the software loading device can simulate the working environment required by the target end device for software loading, ensure that the target end device is in a safe and suitable state for software loading, and realize ground software loading of the target end device through the software loading device without installation of the target end device, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of software loading.

[0069] The power supply 03 can be understood as a device that provides necessary power support for the target end device 01 to load software, for example, the power supply 03 can be a ground power supply device or a ground power supply system.

[0070] The software loading device 00 and the power supply 03 are connected through a first end 701 of the power connector 7, wherein the power connector 7 can be an electrical connector or a cable, and the power connector 7 is used to provide reliable connection for the software loading device 00 and the power supply 03, so as to provide the required power supply for the software loading device 00 to load software for the target end device 01.

[0071] In other possible embodiments, the power supply 03 can also be a built-in power supply built in the software loading device 00, and the form of the power supply 03 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application as long as the power supply 03 can provide the required power supply for software loading.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 2 , the second end 702 of the power supply connector 7 includes a first sub-port 7021, a second sub-port 7022 and a third sub-port 7023. Among them, the first sub-port 7021 is connected with the second end 302 of the power supply adapter module 3, the second sub-port 7022 is connected with the second end 402 of the enable signal adapter module 4, and the third sub-port 7023 is connected with the second end 502 of the discrete quantity adapter module 5, so that the power supply adapter module 3, the enable signal adapter module 5 and the discrete quantity adapter module 5 can convert the power supply signal provided by the power supply 03 into the power supply excitation signal, the enable signal and the discrete quantity signal required by the software loading device 00 for software loading of the target end device 01, and transmit to the target end device 01 through the target end device connector 1, thereby realizing that the loading end device 02 can perform ground software loading on the target end device 01 through the software loading device 00 without installing the target end device 01, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of software loading. It can also be understood that by dividing the second end 701 of the power supply connector 7 into three sub-ports, the power supply signal provided by the power supply 03 is effectively shunted to different adapter modules, which helps to ensure that each adapter module can receive the required power supply signal, avoiding signal confusion or interference, and at the same time, the power supply adapter module 3, the enable signal adapter module 4 and the discrete quantity adapter module 5 can work independently, realizing the conversion and transmission of different types of excitation signals, improving the flexibility and maintainability of the software loading device 00, thereby improving the stability and reliability of software loading.

[0073] In another optional embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 3The second end 702 of the power connector 7 is connected with the second end 302 of the power supply adapter module 3, and meanwhile, the second end 402 of the enable signal adapter module 4 is connected with the second end 302 of the power supply adapter module 3, and the second end 502 of the discrete quantity adapter module 5 is connected with the second end 302 of the power supply adapter module 3, so that the power supply adapter module 3 can receive the power signal provided by the power supply 03 through the power connector 7.

[0074] Optionally, the power supply adapter module 3 is used for converting the power signal provided by the power supply 03 into a power excitation signal.

[0075] Specifically, the power supply adapter module 3 can be electrically connected with the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply 03 through the power connector 7 respectively, so that the power supply adapter module 3 can receive the power signal provided by the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply 03 respectively, ensuring that the power supply adapter module 3 can effectively receive complete power signal and ensuring the stability and reliability of the power signal. Meanwhile, the power supply adapter module 3 can transmit the power signal provided by the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply 03 as the power excitation signal to the target device 01 through the target device connector 1, so as to provide the power excitation signal required for the software loading of the target device 01, wherein the power excitation signal has stable voltage and current characteristics, so as to ensure the stability and applicability of the power excitation signal provided for the software loading of the target device 01, so that the target device 01 can normally perform software loading and receive stable power supply.

[0077] Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the enable signal conversion module 4 can be electrically connected to the positive pole of the power supply 03 through the power supply connector 7, so that the enable signal conversion module 4 can receive the power signal provided by the positive pole of the power supply 03, and the enable signal conversion module 4 can also transmit the power signal provided by the positive pole of the power supply 03 to the target terminal device 01 through the target terminal device connector 1 as the high-level enable signal, thereby providing the target terminal device 01 with the high-level enable signal required for software loading. It can be understood that the software loading device 00 can only load software to the target terminal device 01 when the target terminal device 01 receives the high-level enable signal, thereby ensuring the safety and accuracy of software loading, and thus achieving that the loading terminal device 03 can load ground software to the target terminal device 01 through the software loading device 00 without installing the target terminal device 01, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of software loading.

It can be understood that the software loading device 00 can implement specific functions, such as stopping the operation of software loading, when the target terminal device 01 receives the low-level enable signal, thereby improving the controllability and safety of the software loading device and the stability of software loading.

[0079] Optionally, the discrete quantity signal comprises a high-level discrete quantity signal and a low-level discrete quantity signal; the discrete quantity conversion module 5 comprises at least one first discrete quantity conversion module and at least one second discrete quantity conversion module; the first discrete quantity conversion module is electrically connected to the positive pole of the power supply 03 through the power supply connector 7, and is configured to transmit the power signal provided by the positive pole of the power supply 03 to the target terminal device 01 as the high-level discrete quantity signal; the second discrete quantity conversion module is electrically connected to the negative pole of the power supply 03 through the power supply connector 7, and is configured to transmit the power signal provided by the negative pole of the power supply 03 to the target terminal device 01 as the low-level discrete quantity signal.

[0080] Specifically, the discrete quantity conversion module 5 includes one or more first discrete quantity conversion modules and one or more second discrete quantity conversion modules. The first discrete quantity conversion module is electrically connected to the positive pole of the power supply 03 through the power supply connector 7, so that the discrete quantity conversion module 5 can receive the power supply signal provided by the positive pole of the power supply 03, and the discrete quantity conversion module 5 can also transmit the power supply signal provided by the positive pole of the power supply 03 as a high-level discrete quantity signal to the target device 01 through the target device connector 1, thereby providing the target device 01 with a high-level discrete quantity signal required for software loading. The second discrete quantity conversion module is electrically connected to the negative pole of the power supply 03 through the power supply connector 7, so that the discrete quantity conversion module 5 can receive the power supply signal provided by the negative pole of the power supply 03, and the discrete quantity conversion module 5 can also transmit the power supply signal provided by the negative pole of the power supply 03 as a low-level discrete quantity signal to the target device 01 through the target device connector 1, thereby providing the target device 01 with a low-level discrete quantity signal required for software loading.

[0081] It can be understood that the specific number of the first discrete quantity conversion module and the specific number of the second discrete quantity conversion module in the discrete quantity conversion module 5 can be determined according to the specific number of the high-level discrete quantity signal required for the target device 01 to load software and the specific number of the low-level discrete quantity signal required. By electrically connecting one or more first discrete quantity conversion modules in the discrete quantity conversion module 5 to the positive pole of the power supply 03 and electrically connecting one or more second discrete quantity conversion modules to the negative pole of the power supply 03, it is ensured that the discrete quantity conversion module 5 can convert the power supply signal emitted by the power supply 03 into a specific number of high-level discrete quantity signals and a specific number of low-level discrete quantity signals required for the target device 01 to load software. For example, when the target device 01 requires two high-level discrete quantity signals and one low-level discrete quantity signal to load software, the discrete quantity conversion module 5 can include two first discrete quantity conversion modules and one second discrete quantity conversion module.

[0082] It can be understood that when the target device 01 receives a specific number of high-level discrete quantity signals and a specific number of low-level discrete quantity signals required for software loading, the software loading device 00 can load software to the target device 01, ensuring the safety and accuracy of software loading, thereby realizing that the loading device 02 can load ground software to the target device 01 through the software loading device 00 without installing the target device 01, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of software loading.
