Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen equipment, and particularly relates to a display board test system. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the finished circuit board control assembly of kitchen appliances includes two parts: a display board and a power supply board. Among them, the power control board, as one of the core components of the circuit, is responsible for providing stable power supply for the entire circuit board and controlling the normal operation of each functional module. The display board is responsible for presenting the working status, parameter information, etc. of the circuit to the user in an intuitive manner. Due to the diversity and customization characteristics of the display board in design, different display boards may require different drive signals, control logics, and power supply specifications. Therefore, precise matching must be achieved between the power control board and the display board to ensure the normal startup and accurate display of the display board. In the traditional test system, the built-in power control board is usually fixed and can only match one or a few specific display boards. This means that when it is necessary to test new or different types of display boards, the test system often cannot directly meet the requirements. To solve this problem, manufacturers usually need to develop new test systems or test modules for each new display board, which not only increases the test cost, but also prolongs the test cycle and reduces the test efficiency. Since a new test system needs to be developed every time a new display board is tested, this has led to a significant increase in the test cost. Content of the Utility Model
