[0035] Specifically, the power supply aging test line comprises a test carrier, an aging cabinet, a test line body and a test device. The test carrier is used to load products that need to be subjected to aging test. The aging cabinet is used to age the products placed on the test carrier. The test line body is used to transport the test carrier placed thereon to the test device. The test device is used to test the aging performance of the products on the test carrier transported to the test station thereof. In addition, the aging cabinet and the test line body of the embodiment are arranged side by side. Workers can carry the test carrier loaded with products subjected to aging treatment in the aging cabinet to the test line body, so as to realize the turnover of the test carrier between the aging cabinet and the test line body.
[0036] When arranging the positions of the aging cabinet and the test line body, the distance between the aging cabinet and the test line body needs to be considered, and it is ensured that there is no obstacle in the passage between the aging cabinet and the test line body, so as to reduce the carrying difficulty and collision risk.
[0037] The aging cabinet is provided with a layer plate for placing the test carrier. In the embodiment, a plurality of aging cabinets are arranged along the transportation direction of the test line body. Each aging cabinet is provided with a plurality of layer plates. Each layer plate can place a plurality of test carriers, so that each aging cabinet can simultaneously age a plurality of power supplies, and the aging efficiency of the power supply products is improved. In addition, each aging cabinet is provided with two groups of electric control modules.

The double-layer speed-up chain conveying line is designed compactly, reduces the space occupation of the production site, and is suitable for the production environment with limited space. Meanwhile, the transfer mechanism is arranged at the end of the speed-up chain away from the feeding station.

[0047] The power supply aging test line of the present application can realize batch aging treatment of products by setting multiple aging cabinets, and different aging cabinets can set different parameters to meet the test needs of different products. After the test carrier is placed in the aging cabinet, the interface of the test carrier needs to be connected with the interface of the cabinet body. Through the connection, the test carrier can closely cooperate with the environmental control system (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) of the aging cabinet, so as to ensure that the sample is in a consistent simulated environment during the test, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test. The test carrier can be integrated with the automatic system of the aging cabinet to realize automatic adjustment of test parameters, real-time collection and monitoring of data, reduce human intervention, improve test efficiency, and record test data in real time, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and problem tracing, and provides basis for product improvement.
