Therefore, the features limited by "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features; in the description of the utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0031] The embodiment provides a kind of Figure 1 The intelligent DB9 line test tool shown has the advantages of intuitive visual test results, voice synchronous playing suitable communication interface type, no cable professional knowledge requirement for tester, single person can complete test;The whole test process can be completed in 10 to 15 seconds, and only needs to modify configuration file to adapt to special interface type, newly added interface type, with good applicability.

[0032] The split type intelligent DB9 line test tool includes signal sending end and signal testing end;Wherein, signal sending end includes Figure 1The first master chip and the 1st to 9th sending end test line pins connected with the first master chip respectively for sequentially sending different pulse signals are shown; and the signal test end comprises Figure 2 The second master chip and the 1st to 9th test end test line pins connected with the second master chip respectively for sequentially receiving the pulse signals are shown; more importantly, the signal test end further comprises a display for displaying the line sequence of the test line and a player for playing the communication interface applicable to the line sequence; wherein the display and the player are connected with the second master chip respectively.

[0033] See again Figure 1 The first light coupling 1, the first light emitting diode 2 and the first unidirectional conducting element 3 are connected between the first master chip and any sending end pin respectively; the signal input pin of the first light coupling 1 is connected with the first master chip for sending the pulse signal to the first light coupling 1; the first light emitting diode 2 and the first unidirectional conducting element 3 are connected in series between the first normally open pin and the first normally closed pin of the first light coupling 1 for receiving the pulse signal amplified by the first light coupling 1; the sending end pin is connected in series between the first light emitting diode 2 and the first unidirectional conducting element 3; and the first light coupling 1 is connected in parallel on the detection power supply circuit.

[0034] As can be seen, the pulse signal lead of the signal sending end master chip (i.e. the first master chip) of the split type intelligent DB9 line test tool, the first light coupling 1 and the sending end test line pin each have 9 (and each pulse signal lead, each first light coupling and each sending end test line pin constitute a group, and there are 9 groups in total), and since the working principles are consistent, the examples of the 3rd to 8th pulse signal leads, the first light couplings and the sending end test line pins are omitted here and in Figure 1

[0035] Now the working principle and process of the sending end master chip (i.e. the first master chip) will be described as follows:

[0036] The pulse signals are sequentially sent from the pulse signal lead 1 to the pulse signal lead 9, and at the same time, only one pulse signal lead has the pulse signal, and only the first normally open pin of one first light coupling is closed and the first normally closed pin is disconnected.

[0037] Figure 1 The guide leads in the first master chip are as follows:

[0038] The 1st guide lead is the pulse signal 1: sent to the light coupling 1 (1 light coupling in the first light coupling), and the light coupling 1 sends the detection voltage to the core wire (if there is a connected test end core wire) through the test line 1# pin;

[0039] The 2nd guide lead is the pulse signal 2 (as above);

[0040] The 3rd guide lead is the pulse signal 9 (as above);​

[0041] The pulse signal of lead 4 is the detection signal current that flows back from the core wire (if there is a connected test terminal core wire) through the test wire pin and then through the first normally closed pin of the first optocoupler.

[0042] After receiving a high-level pulse from the first main control chip, the first normally open pin of the first optocoupler closes and the first normally closed pin opens. The detection current flows in the direction of lead 1, 2 or 3. At the same time, only one pulse signal is used on one pulse signal lead, and only one first normally open pin of the first optocoupler closes and the first normally closed pin opens.

[0043] When the first optocoupler does not receive a high-level pulse from the first main control chip, its first normally open pin is open and its first normally closed pin is closed, and the detection current flows in the direction of lead wire 4.

[0044] The first LED lights up when the current is detected. Its function is as follows: when no test terminal is connected, it flashes with low brightness to indicate that the transmitting end is sending a pulse signal. When the test terminal is connected, it flashes with high brightness to indicate that there is a connection between the test line pin of the transmitting end and a certain pin of the test terminal (i.e., a certain test line pin of the test terminal).

[0045] Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen, the second main control chip at the signal test end is connected to the test line pin of any test end via a second optocoupler 4, a second light-emitting diode 5, and a return diode 6; wherein, the second main control chip is connected to the signal output pin of the second optocoupler 4 to receive pulse signals, and outputs video and audio signals of the corresponding line sequence to the display or player according to the pulse signals, so as to display the line sequence of the test line or play the line sequence of the test line by voice.

[0046] The return diode 6 and the light-emitting element 41 of the second optocoupler 4 are connected in reverse parallel on the input side of the second optocoupler 4; the second light-emitting diode 5 is connected in series between the return diode 6 and the light-emitting element 41.

[0047] The test lead pin of the test terminal is connected in series between the second LED 5 and the return diode 6 through a current-limiting resistor 7. The second normally open pin of the second optocoupler 4 is grounded through a limiting resistor 8.

[0048] The working principle and process of the test terminal main control chip (i.e., the second main control chip) are now explained as follows:

[0049] 1. The main control chip of the test end has 9 pulse signal leads, 9 second optocouplers and 9 test line pins (each pulse signal lead, each second optocoupler and each test line pin of the test end form a group, a total of 9 groups). Since the working principle is the same, the 3rd to 8th pulse signal leads, the second optocouplers and the corresponding test line pins of the test end are omitted here.

[0050] 2. Pulse signal is the different pulse signal from the signal sending end received by each test end test line pin in turn, only one pulse signal on the first main control chip lead at the same time, and only one second light coupling second normally open pin is closed.

[0051] 3. The guide line (signal guide line) in the figure is respectively:

[0052] 5th guide line pulse signal 1: (if there is a connected test end core line) the core line transmits the detection pulse signal to the second light coupling through the pin, and the second light coupling connects the second light coupling normally open pin to transmit the pulse signal to the second light coupling main control chip.

[0053] 6th guide line pulse signal 2 (the same as above);

[0054] 7th guide line pulse signal 9 (the same as above);

[0055] 8th guide line pulse signal is the detection signal current from the backflow diode 6 to the core line backflow (if there is a connected test end core line).

[0056] When the second light coupling receives the pulse high level from the core line, its second normally open pin is closed, and the detection current flows in the direction of the colored guide line, only one pulse signal on the second main control chip lead at the same time, and only one second light coupling second light coupling normally open pin is closed.

[0057] When the second light coupling does not receive the pulse high level from the first main control chip, its second normally open pin is open, and the detection current flows in the direction of the black guide line;

[0058] The second light emitting diode is lit when the detection current flows, and the function is to flash when connected to the sending end, indicating that there is a connection between the test line pin of the test end and the test line pin of a certain sending end.

[0059] The second main control chip sends a video signal to the display to display the line sequence; at the same time, the second main control chip sends a sound command to the sound card, and the sound card controls the loudspeaker to play the applicable communication interface voice.

[0060] Now combined with the attached Figure 3 Explain the core parallel line test practice operation process, by Figure 3As can be seen, the pulse signal from each pulse signal lead of the first main control chip of the signal sending end is sent to the first optocoupler, amplified by the first optocoupler, and then sent to the test end test line pin of the signal test end through the core line (i.e. only one core line can be used at the same time, and the pulse signal of the core line is transmitted) through the sending end test line pins 1 to 9 in sequence, and then received by the second main control chip and judged for the test line sequence, and the video signal is sent to the display to display the sequence; at the same time, the second main control chip sends a sound command to the sound card, and the sound card controls the loudspeaker to play the applicable communication interface voice. Since the core parallel line test is adopted, the test effect is as shown in Figure 3 the figure, the pins of the signal sending end and the signal test end are parallel and sequentially corresponding to complete the test.

[0061] And Figure 4 is the core cross line test practical operation process, the pulse signal from each pulse signal lead of the first main control chip of the signal sending end is sent to the first optocoupler, amplified by the first optocoupler, and then sent to the test end test line pin of the signal test end through the core line (i.e. only one core line can be used at the same time, and the pulse signal of the core line is transmitted) through the sending end test line pins 1 to 9 in sequence, and then received by the second main control chip and judged for the test line sequence, and the video signal is sent to the display to display the sequence; at the same time, the second main control chip sends a sound command to the sound card, and the sound card controls the loudspeaker to play the applicable communication interface voice. Since the core cross line test is adopted, the test effect is as shown in Figure 4 the figure, the pulse signal of the signal sending end and the signal test end shows a cross flashing, i.e. the pin sequence of the signal sending end and the pin sequence of the signal test end are staggered, not sequentially arranged.

[0062] From the above description, it is not difficult to see that the signal sending end sends different pulse signals from its 1 to 9 pins in turn, and each pin of the signal testing end receives these different pulse signals, and then judges which pin of the signal sending end sends the pulse signal, so as to know the line sequence of the tested line according to the program of the second main control chip memory, and at the same time, according to the pre-configured file in the second main control chip, the applicable communication interface type is sent to the display by sending the video signal to the display, and the line sequence is displayed; at the same time, the second main control chip sends a sound command to the sound card, and the sound card controls the loudspeaker to play the applicable communication interface voice, that is, the voice is played through the player. The whole process requires no cable professional knowledge of the tester, and a single person can complete the test; the whole test process can be completed in 10 to 15 seconds, the test result is intuitive and visual, the voice is played synchronously, the applicable interface type is played, various different interface types are applicable, special interface types and newly added interface types only need to modify the configuration file to adapt, these are all mature existing technologies, which can be set by the technicians according to the specific needs. It overcomes the disadvantages of the traditional line sequence test, that is, two people use a multimeter to test the DB9 line sequence, need two people to communicate the test method in advance, predict the wiring interface type, use paper and pen to record the test situation of each core wire, need to consult relevant materials to judge the interface type after the test, if the distance is far, it also needs to place the test auxiliary line and use the intercom to contact, the test preparation time is long, the test process is complex, the accuracy is difficult to guarantee, the personnel quality requirement is high, two people are needed to cooperate and the efficiency is low.
