[0023] The inventor finds that in order to ensure the stability of the computer frequently turned on and off at the user end, and solve the display abnormal problems such as booting screen, flashing screen and the like, thousands of times of turning on and off test need to be carried out to verify the reliability of turning on and off once a day within three years of warranty period, and ensure the normal operation of the display function in the process, so as to reduce the huge consumption of manual test and improve the product quality. However, in the test process, the turning on and off operation needs to be repeatedly carried out by manual, which lacks intelligentization and is low in efficiency.

[0024] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 - the accompanying drawings Figure 2 The utility model provides a kind of electronic equipment, comprising: main body 1, it has accommodating space 11, and main body 1 is equipped with control interface 12, input interface, control interface 12 is used to connect the power on-off interface of equipment to be detected, and input interface is used to receive control instruction;Switching assembly 2 is set to accommodating space 11, and switching assembly 2 is electrically connected with control interface 12 and input interface respectively;Wherein, switching assembly 2 controls equipment to be detected to be in the boot state or shutdown state based on the control instruction received by input interface.

[0025] In a possible case, the object to which the electronic equipment of the present application is applied includes but is not limited to desktop computer, notebook computer, tablet computer, mobile phone and learning machine, i.e., the equipment to be detected includes but is not limited to desktop computer, notebook computer, tablet computer, mobile phone and learning machine. The main body 1 serves as the shell of the entire device, and provides an accommodating space 11 inside, which can be used to install and place the switching assembly 2. The control interface 12 can be arranged on the main body 1, and can be used to connect the power on-off interface of the equipment to be detected, so as to send the control instruction of turning on or turning off to the equipment to be detected. The input interface can be arranged on the main body 1, and can be used to receive the control instruction, which can be issued by the external controller 21 or computer. The type of control interface 12 and input interface can be wired interface, wireless interface, slot type interface, infrared interface and the like. The switching assembly 2 can be located in the accommodating space 11 of the main body 1, which serves as the core control unit and is electrically connected with the control interface 12 and input interface, and can trigger the corresponding on-off command based on the control instruction received by the input interface.

[0026] When the power-on and power-off test of the electronic device to be detected is needed, first, the control interface 12 of the electronic device is connected to the power-on and power-off interface of the electronic device to be detected. Then, the pre-defined control instructions are transmitted to the switching assembly 2 through the input interface, which can be generated by a programming script or manually input through a human-computer interface. After receiving the instructions, the switching assembly 2 analyzes and executes the corresponding actions, i.e. sends the power-on or power-off signal to the electronic device to be detected. The power-on and power-off signals can be repeatedly sent within a preset time period, so as to realize the operation of multiple power-on and power-off of the electronic device to be detected within a preset time period. The embodiment is suitable for various products that need to be frequently tested for power-on and power-off, especially those electronic products that have a long warranty period and are often subjected to power-on and power-off operation in daily use. For example, notebook computers, desktop computers, mobile phones, televisions and other electronic devices. In addition, for the devices produced in batches on the production line, the electronic device can also be used to improve the test efficiency and accuracy during the quality inspection before leaving the factory.

[0027] The electronic device provided by the application can be directly connected to the power-on and power-off interface of the electronic device to be detected, and accurately control the power-on or power-off state based on the received control instructions. It is suitable for situations that need to be tested for a large number of repetitive power-on and power-off, such as durability test during the product warranty period. It can easily cope with thousands of times or even more power-on and power-off cycle test requirements, and does not need to be repeatedly manually operated by the operator. The automatic power-on and power-off process of the electronic device eliminates the uncertainty and potential human error caused by manual operation, and ensures the consistency and efficiency of the test.

[0028] In some modified embodiments of the first aspect of the application, the electronic device further comprises an output interface 14 arranged on the main body 1, the output interface 14 is used to connect the electronic device to be detected to supply power to it; the input interface comprises a first input interface 131 and a second input interface 132, the first input interface 131 is used to connect an external power supply to make the output interface 14 have a power supply state and a power-off state, and the second input interface 132 is used to receive control instructions; when the output interface 14 is in the power supply state, the electronic device to be detected is in the power-on state, and when the output interface 14 is in the power-off state, the electronic device to be detected is in the power-off state.

[0029] In one possible case, as Figure 1As shown, the output interface 14 is arranged on the main body 1 and is used to connect and power the device to be detected. The input interface includes a first input interface 131 and a second input interface 132. When the first input interface 131 is externally connected to a power supply, the output interface 14 is in a power-on state and can directly power the device to be detected to turn on the device to be detected. When the first input interface 131 is not externally connected to a power supply, the output interface 14 is in a power-off state and cannot turn on the device to be detected. The embodiment provides an electronic device for detecting the on-off state, which can control the on-off operation of the device to be detected by directly controlling the on-off of the power supply, without relying on complex control instructions. Instead, whether to power the device to be detected is determined by the state of the externally connected power supply, so as to control the power supply state. The electronic device can be applied to application scenarios that need to frequently test the on-off state and hope to reduce complexity.

[0030] In some embodiments, the switch assembly 2 includes a controller 21 connected to the input interface signal for receiving a control instruction, a first switch component 22 having an input end connected to the controller 21 and an output end connected to the control interface 12. The controller 21 controls the short-circuit operation of the control interface 12 and the power supply on-off interface through the first switch component 22 based on the control instruction, so as to realize the on-off of the device to be detected.

[0031] In a possible case, as shown in Figure 1 The controller 21 is connected to the input interface signal and can receive a control instruction. The controller 21 can be a microcontroller 21, a programmable logic controller (PLC) 21, etc. The electronic device can further include a control chip 25 for managing serial communication with an external computer or other control device, processing the reception and transmission of data and protocol analysis, ensuring that the control instruction can be correctly and accurately transmitted to the controller 21, and ensuring the reliability and speed of instruction transmission. The input end of the first switch component 22 is connected to the controller 21. The signal connection here can be wireless connection or wired connection. The first switch component 22 can be a relay. The output end of the first switch component 22 is connected to the control interface 12. The first switch component 22 performs a short-circuit operation according to the instruction analyzed by the controller 21, simulates the operation of pressing the power button, and thus controls the on-off state of the device to be detected.

[0032] In some embodiments, the switch assembly 2 further includes a second switch component 23 connected to the input interface for receiving a power supply signal and controlling the on-off of the device to be detected according to the power supply signal, and a protector 24 connected in parallel with the second switch component 2 for absorbing transient high-voltage arc.

[0033] In a possible case, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the second switch 23 can be a relay connected to the first input interface 131 for receiving the power signal 1 and controlling the power on or off of the device to be tested according to the change of the power signal. The protector 24 is a capacitor for absorbing transient high-voltage arc to prevent arc during AC switching process to avoid burning of large relay switch contacts.

[0034] In some embodiments, the electronic device further comprises a control unit connected to the input interface for issuing control instructions.

[0035] In a possible case, as shown in Figure 1 The control unit can be a remote server, a cloud control system or a computer. When the control unit is a remote server, it can be connected to a remote data center or a dedicated server through a network, which is responsible for generating and sending control instructions. When the control unit is a cloud control system, it can be a control system based on a cloud computing platform, allowing access and operation through the Internet. When the control unit is a computer, a local computer (desktop, laptop or other computing device) can be used as a control center to communicate with the test device through USB, serial, Ethernet and other interfaces to issue control instructions.

[0036] In some embodiments, the control unit comprises an information storage unit pre-stored with first network information; the input interface comprises an information receiving unit connected to the control unit; wherein the device to be tested has different second network information in the power on state and the power off state, the information receiving unit receives the second network information in the current state of the device to be tested and transmits the second network information to the control unit for comparison, and in the case that the second network information is the same as the first network information, the device to be tested is in the power on state.

[0037] In a possible case, as shown in Figure 1 The information storage unit can be integrated in the control unit, and the information storage unit can set the first network information when the electronic device is manufactured or through a user interface. The information receiving unit can be integrated in the input interface, which can accept the second network information from the device to be tested, and can be implemented in various ways, such as through network protocols (such as SNMP, HTTP), special API or direct reading of the state of the network interface. The second network information of the device to be tested is different in the power on or power off state, and the content of the first network information and the second network information can include IP address, MAC address, open port list, etc.

[0038] When testing, by comparing the second network information of the to-be-tested device (i.e., the network characteristics in the current state) with the pre-stored first network information (i.e., the expected network characteristics in the boot state), it can be judged whether the to-be-tested device has correctly entered the boot state. If the IP address, port state, service response and other information of the to-be-tested device match the pre-stored first network information, it means that the to-be-tested device has entered the boot state. If these information do not match or are completely unreachable, it means that the to-be-tested device fails to start correctly or is still in the shutdown state. If inconsistency is found, the controller 21 can take further measures according to the pre-set rules, such as re-sending the boot instruction, triggering an alarm or recording a log for subsequent analysis. In this embodiment provided in the application, whether the to-be-tested device is in the boot or shutdown state can be further confirmed through the network state of the to-be-tested device, which can improve the accuracy and reliability of state detection.

[0039] In some embodiments, the electronic device further comprises an image acquisition unit connected to the control unit, and the acquisition end of the image acquisition unit is configured to face the display of the to-be-tested device.

[0040] In a possible case, as shown in Figure 1 The electronic device further comprises an image acquisition unit, which can be a camera or other imaging device, and the acquisition end of the image acquisition unit can be a camera head, facing the display of the to-be-tested device, for capturing the image of the display. By analyzing the content on the display, it can be confirmed whether the to-be-tested device enters the expected operation interface (such as the login screen, desktop environment, etc.), thereby verifying the boot state. If the to-be-tested device fails to start normally, the image acquisition unit can capture error information or abnormal pictures, and the technician can quickly locate the abnormal problem of the shutdown. In addition, the image acquisition unit can continuously monitor the image of the display and record the changes during the entire test process, without the need for the operator to stare at the display at all times, and the state of the to-be-tested device can be verified by combining network information and visual information, reducing misjudgment.

[0041] In some embodiments, the number of output interfaces 14, control interfaces 12 and input interfaces is multiple; the number of switch assemblies 2 is multiple, and each switch assembly 2 corresponds to one control interface 12 and one input interface.

[0042] In a possible case, as shown in Figure 1 The electronic device can test multiple to-be-tested devices simultaneously by increasing the number of output interfaces 14, control interfaces 12 and input interfaces, and equipping multiple switch assemblies 2 to achieve this goal. Each switch assembly 2 corresponds to one control interface 12 and one input interface, ensuring that each to-be-tested device can independently perform boot or shutdown operations, and its network state can be monitored individually, and the display content of each to-be-tested device can be monitored by the image acquisition unit.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electronic device further comprises a backup power supply arranged in the accommodation space 11 for powering the device to be detected.

[0044] In a possible case, the backup power supply arranged in the accommodation space 11 can include a battery pack, which can provide necessary power support for the device to be detected without external power supply, ensuring that the test process is not limited to external power supply conditions. By arranging the backup power supply, the electronic device can be used to turn on and off the device to be detected anytime and anywhere without being limited by the location and power supply conditions.

[0045] In addition, in order to convert the external power supply into the voltage used by the electronic device, the electronic device is also provided with a voltage converter 3 which can convert the voltage into a preset voltage, such as converting 220V voltage into 5V voltage. In order to provide accurate time reference signals and ensure the stability of the clock frequency in the controller 21, a crystal oscillator 26 can be arranged in each control circuit to ensure that the respective time references are independent and accurate.

[0046] The second aspect of the present application provides an electronic device system, comprising: a main body 1 having an accommodation space 11, and the main body 1 is provided with a control interface 12 and an input interface, the control interface 12 is used for connecting the power on-off interface of the device to be detected, and the input interface is used for receiving control instructions; a switch assembly 2 arranged in the accommodation space 11 and electrically connected with the control interface 12 and the input interface; wherein the switch assembly 2 controls the device to be detected to be in a power-on state or a power-off state based on the control instructions received by the input interface.

[0047] In a possible case, the electronic device system can be a computer system, a mobile phone system, a learning machine system, etc. The electronic device system provided by the present application can be directly connected with the power on-off interface of the device to be detected, and accurately control the power-on or power-off state based on the received control instructions, which is suitable for the case of needing to perform a large number of repetitive power-on and power-off tests, such as durability test during product warranty period. It can easily cope with thousands of times or even more power-on and power-off cycle test requirements, and does not need to be operated by the operator repeatedly manually. The automatic power-on and power-off process of the electronic device system eliminates the uncertainty and potential human error caused by manual operation, and ensures the consistency and efficiency of the test.

[0048] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
