[0003] In the current LED module aging process, automated aging equipment connected by network cables needs to frequently plug and unplug the network cable, while automated aging equipment that communicates through probe components needs to frequently contact the probes. This results in frequent replacement of network cables or probes, thereby reducing the aging efficiency of automated aging equipment.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the aging efficiency of automated aging equipment is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, the automatic aging device proposed in this application comprises an instruction sending module, a lifting control module, and at least one aging module; the instruction sending module, the lifting control module, and the aging module are connected in sequence.

[0007] The lifting control module includes:

[0008] Lifting control console;

[0009] A first wireless communication unit is disposed at the top of the lifting control console; the information input terminal of the first wireless communication unit is an RJ45 interface; the RJ45 interface is used to connect to the command sending module via a network cable.

[0010] The aging module includes:

[0011] A slide rail, wherein a blocking element is provided at the end of the slide rail in the direction of movement;

[0012] Multiple sliding plates, each sliding plate moving on the slide rail, each sliding plate being used to hold products to be aged, and the blocking member being used to prevent the sliding plate from stopping sliding;

[0013] Multiple instruction receiving units are provided, each of which is vertically distributed with respect to each of the sliding plates. Each instruction receiving unit corresponds to each of the sliding plates and is located above each of the sliding plates in the vertical direction. Each instruction receiving unit integrates a second wireless communication unit at both ends along the direction of movement of the slide rail. Each instruction receiving unit is used to transmit the aging parameters output by the first wireless communication unit through the second wireless communication unit and to receive the aging information of the product to be aged.

[0014] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0015] A floor selection button, connected to the lifting control console, is used to transmit the selected floor number to the lifting control console.

[0016] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0018] In one embodiment, the instruction receiving unit includes:

[0019] An adapter board is provided with a receiving card slot, and the adapter board is used to connect the product to be aged.

[0020] A receiving card is electrically connected to the adapter board via a receiving card slot. The receiving card is used to receive instructions transmitted by the instruction sending module through each of the second wireless communication units.

[0021] In one embodiment, the receiving card is wirelessly or wiredly connected to the product to be aged.

[0022] In one embodiment, the instruction sending module includes:

[0023] A sending card is used to send instructions to each of the instruction receiving units.

[0044] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. If the embodiments of the present utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second", such descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features.

[0045] This application proposes an automatic aging device aimed at solving the technical problem of how to improve aging efficiency.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the automatic aging device of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the automatic aging device proposed in this application includes an instruction sending module, a lifting control module, and at least one aging module; the instruction sending module, the lifting control module, and the aging module are connected in sequence.

[0047] The lifting control module includes:

[0048] Lifting control console 10;

[0049] A first wireless communication unit 20 is disposed at the top of the lifting control console 10; the information input terminal of the first wireless communication unit 20 is an RJ45 interface; the RJ45 interface is used to connect to the command sending module via a network cable.

[0050] The aging module includes:

[0051] The slide rail 30 has a blocking member 40 at its end in the direction of movement;

[0052] Multiple sliding plates 50, each of which moves on the slide rail 30, each of which is used to hold the product to be aged, and the blocking member 40 is used to prevent the sliding plate 50 from stopping sliding.

[0053] Multiple instruction receiving units are arranged vertically in a vertical space, with each instruction receiving unit corresponding to each of the sliding plates 50 and positioned above each of the sliding plates 50 in the vertical direction. Each instruction receiving unit integrates a second wireless communication unit 60 at both ends along the movement direction of the slide rail 30. Each instruction receiving unit is used to transmit the aging parameters output by the first wireless communication unit 20 through the second wireless communication unit 60 and to receive the aging information of the product to be aged.

[0054] In this embodiment, aging parameters refer to the parameters used to simulate aging conditions in the aging process, and are preset. In one feasible implementation, aging parameters may include voltage values, current values, etc. Aging information refers to the operating information of the product to be aged under the aging environment characterized by the aging parameters. For example, when the product to be aged is an LED lamp, the aging information may include brightness, operating time, etc.

[0055] Furthermore, in this application, the command sending module is used to transmit aging parameters to the lifting control module. When multiple aging modules are present, the lifting control module ensures that the first wireless communication unit 20 and the second wireless communication unit 60 in the aging module are horizontally aligned via the lifting control console 10, and transmits the aging parameters to the command receiving unit through the first wireless communication unit 20 and the second wireless communication unit 60. Therefore, when there is only one aging module in this application, automatic wireless cascading between all command receiving units can be achieved using only one network cable, avoiding the problem of low aging efficiency caused by frequent plugging and unplugging of network cables or probes, thereby improving aging efficiency.

[0056] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0057] Robotic arm 70, which is used to transfer the product to be aged onto the sliding plate 50.

[0058] Understandably, the robotic arm 70 can automatically transfer the products to be aged onto the sliding plate 50, thereby reducing the labor costs associated with manual transfer.

[0059] In this embodiment, for each sliding plate 50, a robotic arm 70 can fill the sliding plate 50 with the product to be aged. Then, the sliding plate 50 can move along the movement direction of the slide rail 30 and stop at the position of the blocking member 40. During the process of the sliding plate 50 filled with the product to be aged moving to the blocking member 40, the robotic arm 70 will simultaneously fill the other sliding plates 50 with the product to be aged in sequence until all the sliding plates 50 on the slide rail 30 are close together and stop sliding. At this time, the TX and RX distances between the second wireless communication units 60 of the respective instruction receiving units corresponding to the sliding plate 50 are within 20mm, which is within the communication range of the wireless communication units. Since the product to be aged is located above the sliding plate 50, the sliding plate 50 can be powered from the bottom via contact. The command sending module is then directly connected to the first wireless communication unit 20 on the lifting console 10 via a network cable. The lifting console 10 is then raised, so that the Tx and Rx of the first wireless communication unit 20 are perpendicularly aligned with the Rx and Tx of the second wireless communication unit 60 on the slide rail 30, which is closest to the lifting console 10. At this point, the distance between Tx and Rx must be within 20mm. Finally, the command sending module can send parameters to all command receiving units, simultaneously activating all products to be aged for aging.

[0060] In one embodiment, the instruction sending module includes:

[0061] Sending card 80, which is used to send instructions to each of the instruction receiving units.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment, the instruction receiving unit includes:

[0063] The adapter board 90 is provided with a receiving card slot 200, and the adapter board 90 is used to connect the product to be aged 300;

[0064] A receiver card 100 is electrically connected to the adapter board 90 through a receiver card 100 slot. The receiver card 100 is used to receive instructions transmitted by the instruction sending module through each of the second wireless communication units 60.

[0065] In this embodiment, a receiver card 100 can be inserted into the adapter plate 90 via a slot to receive aging parameters transmitted by the transmitting card 80. Furthermore, when the robotic arm 70 places the product to be aged 300 onto the sliding plate 50 using visual positioning, the Rx of the product to be aged 300 is aligned with the Tx of the corresponding adapter plate 90. It should be noted that during the alignment process between the product to be aged 300 and the adapter plate 90, the maximum possible offset distance between Tx and Rx in both the X and Y directions is 6 mm.

[0066] In one embodiment, the receiving card 100 is wirelessly or wiredly connected to the product to be aged 300.

[0067] It is understandable that, in the above Figure 2 In this embodiment, the receiver card 100 and the product to be aged 300 communicate via an electrical connection, that is, via a wired connection. In a feasible implementation, the receiver card 100 and the product to be aged 300 can also communicate via a wireless connection. Specifically, a schematic diagram of the wireless connection between the receiver card 100 and the product to be aged 300 is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, this application can reduce circuit complexity through wireless connection.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a top view of a single-layer aging line according to an embodiment of the automatic aging device of this application. Figure 4 In this circuit, the first wireless communication unit is a wireless Ethernet module. The transmitting card can connect to the RJ45 interface of the wireless Ethernet module via a network cable, and then communicate with the instruction receiving units corresponding to sliding plates 1 to N through the wireless Ethernet module, thereby realizing the aging process. It can be understood that sliding plates 1 to N are N sliding plates on the slide rail that are blocked by blocking components.

[0069] exist Figure 4 Based on this, please continue to refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a top view of a multi-layer aging line according to an embodiment of the automatic aging device of this application. Figure 5 In the case of multi-layer aging lines, a multi-layer aging line can be implemented using the same number of network cables as the number of layers. Specifically, since the wireless Ethernet module is installed on the lifting control console, aging parameters can be transmitted to the instruction receiving unit corresponding to the sliding plate in each layer based on the lifting function of the lifting control console, thereby achieving the purpose of multi-layer aging.

[0070] In this embodiment, the products to be aged placed on the sliding plates can move along the slide rail. When the slide rail is full of sliding plates that are stopped by obstructions, the second wireless communication units on both sides of the instruction receiving unit above each sliding plate can communicate with each other. At this time, the aging parameters transmitted by the instruction sending module can be transmitted to each of the second wireless communication units through the first wireless communication unit on the lifting control console, thereby realizing the unified distribution of aging parameters. In this application, the aging process does not require frequent plugging and unplugging of network cables or probes; the unified distribution of aging parameters can be achieved through multiple wireless communication units, thereby improving the aging efficiency of the automatic aging device.

[0071] Furthermore, based on the first embodiment of the automatic aging device of this application described above, a second embodiment of the automatic aging device of this application is proposed.

[0072] In this embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0073] A floor selection button, connected to the lifting control console, is used to transmit the selected floor number to the lifting control console.

[0074] Understandably, when an automatic aging device has multiple aging modules, i.e. multiple aging lines, it can receive the number of layers selected by the user through the layer selection button, and then transmit the layer number to the lifting control console. This allows the lifting control console to automatically adjust to the height corresponding to the number of layers selected by the user, achieving the purpose of user self-control and improving the user experience.

[0075] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0076] A power supply module is connected to each of the instruction receiving units and is used to supply power to the product to be aged through each of the instruction receiving units during the aging process.

[0077] It is understandable that the product to be aged is actually in direct contact with the command receiving unit during the aging process. Therefore, the product to be aged can be powered by the command receiving unit powered by the power supply module.

[0078] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0079] Each indicator light is connected to each instruction receiving unit and is used to indicate the operating status of each instruction receiving unit.

[0080] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0081] Each display module is connected to each instruction receiving unit and is used to output the aging information received by each instruction receiving unit.

[0082] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0083] Each storage module is connected to each instruction receiving unit and is used to store the aging information received by each instruction receiving unit.

[0084] In one embodiment, the automatic aging device further includes:

[0085] A switch button, connected to the instruction sending module, is used to activate or deactivate the instruction sending function.

[0086] It is understood that when using indicator lights to indicate the operation status of the instruction receiving unit, the indicator lights can be turned on / off to indicate whether the instruction receiving unit is operating normally or abnormally, or different colors of the indicator lights can be used to indicate whether the instruction receiving unit is operating normally or abnormally. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0087] In this application, the display module can output the aging information received by each instruction receiving unit for the user to view, and the storage module is used to store the aging information for verification. This application does not limit the model of the display module and the storage module.

[0088] In addition, this application also includes a switch button for starting or stopping the command sending function of the command sending module, which facilitates user operation and further improves the user experience.

[0089] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
