[0028] Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the signal conditioning circuit in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of this utility model are described in conjunction with the appendix below. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The detailed description of the embodiments will make this clear. All structural details mentioned in the following embodiments are based on the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] An online testing device for electronic circuit components includes a testing platform, a testing probe, a microprocessor, and a display module. The testing platform carries the electronic circuit board to be tested and has an automatic conveying function to ensure smooth movement of the circuit board during the testing process.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this online component testing device also includes an active testing module, specifically comprising:

[0033] A square wave generator circuit is used to generate a square wave signal and input the square wave signal as a test signal to the component under test.

[0034] The signal receiving and detection circuit includes a coupling noise reduction unit and a root mean square (RMS) detection unit. The coupling noise reduction unit is used to receive the response signal from the device under test and to perform noise reduction processing on the response signal in the process. The RMS detection unit is used to convert the output signal of the coupling noise reduction unit into its RMS value and then send it to the microprocessor.

[0035] In the above, such as Figure 2 As shown, the square wave generating circuit includes an operational amplifier AR1. The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier AR1 is connected to one end of resistors R1, R2, R3, and capacitor C1, and the cathode of Zener diode DZ1. The other end of resistor R1 is connected to the power supply VCC. The other ends of resistor R2 and capacitor C1 are grounded to the anode of Zener diode DZ1. The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier AR1 is connected to the adjustment terminal of adjustable rheostat RP1. One end of adjustable rheostat RP1 is connected to one end of resistor R5. The other end of adjustable rheostat RP1 is grounded through resistor R6. The output terminal of the operational amplifier AR1 is connected to the other ends of resistors R3 and R5, one end of bidirectional Zener diode D1, and the signal output terminal of the active test module through resistor R4.

[0036] In the square wave generator circuit, resistors R1 and R2 form a voltage divider to supply power to the VCC power supply, while Zener diode DZ1 ensures the stability of the power supply voltage. Operational amplifier AR1 and external RC components form an oscillation circuit. Utilizing the charging and discharging characteristics of capacitor C1 and the circuit's feedback mechanism, a stable square wave signal is output. By adjusting the values ​​of the resistors and capacitors, the frequency and duty cycle of the square wave signal can be controlled; simultaneously, by adjusting the resistance of adjustable rheostat RP1, the amplitude of the square wave signal can be changed.

[0037] In signal receiving and detection circuits, such as Figure 3 As shown, the coupling noise reduction unit includes an optocoupler U1. The anode of the emitter of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the signal receiver of the active test module through a resistor R7. The cathode of the emitter of the optocoupler U1 is grounded. The collector of the receiver of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the power supply VCC. The emitter of the receiver of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the drain of the MOSFET Q1, the cathode of the Zener diode DZ2, and one end of the resistor R9 and capacitor C2. The gate of the MOSFET Q1 is connected to the other end of the resistor R9. The source of the MOSFET Q1 and the anode of the Zener diode DZ2 are grounded through a resistor R10. The other end of the capacitor C2 is grounded.

[0038] The optocoupler U1 converts the received electrical signal into an optical signal, and then converts the optical signal back into an electrical signal through an internal photosensitive element. This process achieves electrical isolation of the signal, helping to reduce the transmission of noise and interference. The MOSFET Q1 stabilizes the output signal of the optocoupler U1, while the amplitude stabilization effect of the Zener diode DZ2 and the filtering effect of the capacitor C2 ensure a stable output of the received signal.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the root mean square detector unit includes a multiplier U2, an integrator, and a square root circuit U3 connected in sequence. The input of the multiplier U2 is connected to the output of the coupling noise reduction unit, and the output of the square root circuit U3 is connected to the microprocessor.

[0040] The integrator includes operational amplifier AR2. The inverting input of operational amplifier AR2 is connected to the output of the multiplier through resistor R11, and the output of operational amplifier AR2 and the input of the square root circuit are connected through parallel resistor R13 and capacitor C3. The non-inverting input of operational amplifier AR2 is grounded through resistor 12.

[0041] The workflow of the active test module described above is as follows: First, after the active test module is started, the square wave generator circuit begins to operate. The square wave generator circuit generates a periodic square wave signal, which is then sent to the device under test (DUT) as a test signal. Upon receiving the square wave signal, the DUT generates a corresponding response signal based on its internal characteristics and operating state. This response signal contains important information about the device's performance, such as impedance, gain, and phase. Next, the response signal is sent to the signal receiving and detection circuit for processing. The coupling noise reduction unit utilizes the photoelectric conversion principle to achieve electrical isolation of the signal, effectively reducing the impact of external noise and interference on the signal. After stabilization filtering, the signal's signal-to-noise ratio is improved. The noise-reduced signal then enters the root-mean-square (RMS) detector unit. The signal is first squared using a multiplier, then averaged using an integrator, and finally the RMS value is obtained through a square root circuit. The RMS value calculated by the RMS detector unit is sent to the microprocessor, which evaluates and judges the device's performance based on this value and a preset threshold. If the performance parameters of the component under test exceed the normal range, the microprocessor will issue an alarm or take other corresponding measures to ensure the stable operation of electronic equipment and safe production.

[0042] As another embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device's detection probe includes:

[0043] A sensor is used to electrically connect to the component under test and convert the physical parameters of the component under test into electrical signals.

[0044] Signal conditioning circuits are used to amplify and filter electrical signals, and then send the processed signals to the microprocessor.

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the signal conditioning circuit specifically includes:

[0046] The differential amplifier includes operational amplifier AR3. The inverting input of operational amplifier AR3 is connected to the first probe terminal (Sensor-) of the detection probe through resistor R14, and to the output terminal of operational amplifier AR3 through resistor R17. The non-inverting input of operational amplifier AR3 is connected to the second probe terminal (Sensor+) of the detection probe through resistor R15, and grounded through resistor R16. Through its unique circuit structure, the differential amplifier can effectively suppress common-mode noise and interference, while amplifying the differential signal between the two probe terminals.

[0047] The filter includes capacitors C4 and C5 and resistor R18. One end of capacitor C4 and resistor R18 is connected to the output of operational amplifier AR3, and the other end of resistor R18 is connected to one end of capacitor C5 and the microprocessor. The other ends of capacitors C4 and C5 are grounded. The filter adopts a π-type RC filter, which effectively prevents high-frequency noise and interference signals from entering subsequent circuits, ensuring the accuracy and validity of the detection data.

[0048] The specific workflow of the aforementioned detection probe is as follows: First, the sensor in the detection probe is electrically connected to the component under test (DUT) to capture the DUT's physical parameters, such as current, voltage, and temperature. Then, the electrical signal converted by the sensor is sent to a signal conditioning circuit for amplification and filtering to ensure accurate and reliable detection of the DUT's parameters. Finally, the signal is sent to a microprocessor for analysis and evaluation.

[0049] In the specific implementation, the MSP430 microcontroller was selected as the microprocessor. This microcontroller has a built-in A / D (analog-to-digital) conversion function, which can efficiently convert the output data of the active test module and detection probe into digital signals, facilitating subsequent digital signal processing, analysis, and storage. Furthermore, the MSP430 microcontroller provides rich peripheral and communication interfaces, enabling convenient transmission of digitized data to external devices or systems. Through communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, and I2C, the MSP430 can send processed data to a host computer, display module, or other monitoring devices in real time, achieving remote monitoring and data sharing.

[0050] In summary, this application introduces an active test module, in which a square wave generator circuit can generate a square wave signal, which is then input as a test signal to the component under test (DUT). This design provides a flexible and adjustable signal source, enabling the device to generate appropriate test signals according to the testing requirements of different components, thereby providing a more comprehensive and in-depth evaluation of component performance. The signal receiving and detection circuit employs a coupling noise reduction unit to achieve electrical isolation of the signal, effectively reducing the impact of external noise and interference on the signal. Simultaneously, combined with a root mean square (RMS) detector unit, the RMS value of the signal is accurately calculated, significantly improving the device's signal extraction capability in complex electronic environments and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Furthermore, the detection probe in the device integrates a sensor and signal conditioning circuit, enabling precise acquisition and preprocessing of the physical parameters of the DUT, which not only simplifies the system structure but also reduces errors and uncertainties during the testing process.

[0051] This application significantly improves the detection accuracy and reliability of online electronic circuit component testing devices through flexible signal source design, efficient noise reduction and signal processing capabilities, accurate component performance evaluation, and integrated detection probe design.

[0052] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to this. For those skilled in the art to which the present utility model pertains and related fields, any extensions, operation methods, and data substitutions made based on the technical solution concept of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
