[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated testing device for HPD modules, including a base 1, a positioning frame 4 mounted on the base 1, multiple HPD modules 3 mounted on the positioning frame 4, a water-cooled testing mechanism 2 on the base 1, a control panel 6 and a T3Ster thermal resistance tester 5 on one side of the base 1. The T3Ster thermal resistance tester 5 is an advanced thermal characteristic analysis device designed specifically for semiconductor devices, electronic components and heat dissipation components. Combining transient thermal testing technology and structure function analysis, it provides high-precision, non-destructive measurement of thermal resistance and thermal capacity parameters. The thermal resistance measurement range is 0.002~1000℃ / W, with an error ≤±1%; the junction temperature resolution is 0.01℃, the response time is 1μs, and the signal-to-noise ratio far exceeds that of the traditional pulse method. It is used in conjunction with the water-cooled testing mechanism 2 to test the effect of the flow rate and temperature of the cooling medium on the thermal resistance. The control panel 6 includes a programmable PLC and a touch screen. The programmable PLC can be used to control the whole system, and the parameters can be displayed and operated through the touch screen. Multiple HPD modules 3 can be quickly connected and disconnected through the water-cooled testing mechanism 2 without the need for personnel to perform the connection operation, which effectively improves the convenience of testing.
[0022] The water-cooling testing mechanism 2 includes a double-rod cylinder 201, which is fixedly installed inside the base 1. The two output shafts of the double-rod cylinder 201 penetrate the base 1, allowing them to move towards or away from each other. This drives the movable plates 202 on both sides of the base 1 to move, enabling the two movable plates 202 to move towards or away from each other. Movable plates 202 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two output shafts of the double-rod cylinder 201. Guide rods 203 are fixedly connected to the movable plates 202. The two movable plates 202 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1. Plate 202 is slidably connected to base 1 via guide rod 203, which guides the movement of movable plate 202. Multiple uprights 204 are fixedly connected to the top of both movable plates 202. Each upright 204 has mounting screw holes 205 and a plug 206. One end of the plug 206 is fixedly connected to a tube 207, and a sealing ring 208 is fitted onto the tube 207 to increase sealing. The other end of the plug 206 is fixedly connected to a connecting screw tube 209, and the mounting screw holes 205 match the connecting screw tube 209. The plug 206 is connected to the upright 204 via the connecting screw tube 209 and the mounting screw holes 205. The threaded connection facilitates the installation and removal of the plug 206, and a seal can be fitted onto the connecting threaded tube 209 to enhance the sealing effect. The outer diameter of the insertion tube 207 is smaller than the diameter of the plug 206, and the insertion tube 207 matches the interface on the HPD module 3, allowing the insertion tube 207 to be inserted into the interface on the HPD module 3. A solenoid valve 214 is located at the end of the support 204 away from the mounting screw hole 205. A connecting tube 210 is installed on the solenoid valve 214, and a cooling water tank 211 is connected between the ends of the two connecting tubes 210. The cooling water tank 211 has a filling port, and a sealing plug is installed inside the filling port to... It can easily replenish cooling water into the cooling water tank 211. The cooling water tank 211 is equipped with a cooler, which can use a semiconductor cooling chip to cool the cooling water inside the cooling water tank 211. The cooling performance can be changed by changing the current, thereby changing the temperature of the cooling medium. The cooling water tank 211 is equipped with a circulation pump 212, and a flow meter 213 is installed on the connecting pipe 210. The flow meter 213 can monitor the flow rate of the cooling water. In addition, the cooling water tank 211 is equipped with a DS18B20 temperature sensor, which can effectively monitor the temperature of the cooling water.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4The positioning frame 4 includes a frame body 401, an embedding groove on the base 1 that matches the frame body 401, a plurality of positioning grooves 402 on the frame body 401 that match the HPD module 3, and mounting bolts 403 on the frame body 401. The frame body 401 can be fixed by installing the frame body 401 inside the embedding groove and tightening the mounting bolts 403. The positioning grooves 402 are used to position the HPD module 3 and prevent the HPD module 3 from shifting during the test.
[0024] During operation, the HPD module 3 is placed inside the positioning frame 4. A plug 206 of the appropriate specification is selected based on the size of the interface on the HPD module 3. The connecting thread 209 at the end of the plug 206 is screwed into the mounting screw hole 205. The plug 206 is then installed on the upright frame 204. The output shaft of the double-rod cylinder 201 drives two movable plates 202 to move closer together to the base 1. The movement of the movable plates 202 moves the upright frame 204, which in turn moves the plug 206, inserting the insertion tube 207 on the plug 206 into the mounting bracket 204. The interface of HPD module 3 allows for quick connection and disconnection of multiple HPD modules 3 without the need for manual connection operations, effectively improving the convenience of testing. Then, solenoid valve 214 opens, and circulation pump 212 operates to drive the cooling medium to circulate. T3Ster thermal resistance tester 5 tests the thermal resistance of HPD module 3. Control panel 6 changes the flow rate of the medium and uses flow meter 213 for real-time monitoring. The cooler changes the temperature of the medium and uses temperature sensor for real-time temperature monitoring, testing the effect of medium temperature and flow rate on thermal resistance.
[0025] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
