With increasing demands for product performance and stability across industries, the quality of infrared receivers directly impacts the reliability of terminal devices, thus placing higher demands on the accuracy and efficiency of their performance testing.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that manual inspection relies on the operator's experience and subjective judgment, resulting in problems such as low inspection efficiency, poor consistency, and susceptibility to human interference.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0023] An infrared receiver tube detection device includes a detection platform 1. A detection rotating disk 3 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the detection platform 1. Multiple infrared receiver tube probe holders 4 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the detection rotating disk 3. These probe holders 4 can be divided into a feeding station, a light illumination detection station, a buffer station, and an infrared thermal imaging detection station, thereby detecting the infrared receiver tube and improving detection efficiency. The multiple infrared receiver tube probe holders 4 are evenly distributed in a circumferential array. An infrared receiver tube interface 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each of the multiple infrared receiver tube probe holders 4. This infrared receiver tube interface 9 adopts a spring probe structure and can connect to the infrared receiver tube to be detected. An adapter is used to connect the external receiver tube, facilitating accurate installation of the infrared receiver tube at the detection position while ensuring good electrical contact. Two supports 6 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the detection platform 1, distributed symmetrically on both sides of the detection rotating disk 3. An infrared thermal imaging detection device 7 and a light detection device 8 are respectively fixedly installed on the outer walls of the two supports 6. The infrared thermal imaging detection device 7 uses an uncooled microbolometer as its core detection element and is equipped with a germanium infrared optical lens with a focal length of 19mm. This allows for efficient focusing of the thermal radiation emitted by the infrared receiver tube onto the microbolometer. A high-speed AD converter is integrated on the board. C. The analog electrical signal output by the microbolometer is quickly converted into a digital signal. A dedicated FPGA chip is used for preprocessing the digital signal. The illumination detection device 8 uses a high-power infrared LED array composed of multiple LEDs with center wavelengths of 850nm and 940nm. Designed based on PWM pulse width modulation technology, it employs a high-performance PWM chip to precisely control the luminous intensity of the LEDs. A current feedback loop is included in the circuit, using a high-precision sampling resistor to monitor the LED drive current in real time, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the light intensity output. Two devices, one for each infrared receiver tube, are used to detect the performance of the infrared receiver tube under different illumination conditions. Thermal imaging technology visually presents the temperature distribution of the infrared receiver tube, allowing the infrared thermal imaging detection device 7 to determine if there are any abnormalities such as overheating. This completes the detection of multiple infrared receiver tubes. The detection stage 1 has an intermittent rotation component inside to drive the detection rotating disk 3. This intermittent rotation component controls the rotation of the detection rotating disk 3, thereby rotating the infrared receiver tube on each infrared receiver tube probe holder 4, improving the detection efficiency.
[0024] The intermittent rotation assembly includes a drive inner groove 11 and a drive wheel 13. The drive inner groove 11 is located inside the detection table 1 and below the detection rotary disk 3. A driven wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drive inner groove 11. The outer wall of the driven wheel 12 has multiple radial grooves 14, which are evenly distributed in a circumferential array. The drive wheel 13 is located on one side of the driven wheel 12 and is rotatably connected to the drive inner groove 11. A pin 15 adapted to the radial grooves 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive wheel 13. The driven wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13 are rotatably connected to the drive inner groove 11. The rotating detection disk 3 is fixedly connected. The drive wheel 13 rotates, and the servo motor 16, with a rated speed of 1000 rpm, drives the drive wheel 13 by reducing its speed through a reducer. Pins 15 on the drive wheel 13 are sequentially inserted into the radial grooves 14 of the driven wheel 12, causing the driven wheel 12 to rotate intermittently. This intermittent rotation of the rotating detection disk 3 allows each infrared receiver tube mounted on the infrared receiver tube probe holder 4 to move sequentially under the infrared thermal imaging detection device 7 and the illumination detection device 8 for corresponding detection. The switching time between two adjacent detection positions is set to three seconds to ensure the accuracy and stability of the detection.
[0025] The outer wall of the testing station 1 is fixedly equipped with a display screen 5, which is used to display various data during the testing process and the final test results in real time, so that the operator can view them intuitively. The operator can set the testing parameters, such as the light intensity range and temperature threshold, through the touch screen.
[0026] Multiple infrared receiver probe holders 4 are fixedly mounted with light intensity sensors 10 for monitoring the light detection device 8. The light intensity sensors 10 use silicon photodiodes and can monitor the light intensity emitted by the light detection device 8 in real time and feed the data back to the controller 2 so as to accurately control and adjust the light intensity.
[0027] A controller 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the detection station 1. The controller 2 is a microcontroller with an ARM Cortex-M7 core. The controller 2 is electrically connected to the infrared thermal imaging detection device 7, the light detection device 8, the infrared receiver probe base 4, and the display screen 5. As the control core of the entire detection device, the controller 2 can coordinate and control the various components according to the preset program. For example, it can control the start, stop and speed of the servo motor 16, receive and process the data fed back by the infrared thermal imaging detection device 7, the light detection device 8 and the light intensity sensor 10, and transmit the detection results to the display screen 5 for display.
[0028] A servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the testing table 1, and the output shaft of the servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 13. An encoder is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the servo motor 16, which can accurately record the rotation angle and speed of the servo motor 16. By starting the servo motor 16, the drive wheel 13 can be driven to rotate.
[0029] The illumination detection device 8 is equipped with a standard light intensity calibration plate and a light intensity adjustment circuit. The standard light intensity calibration plate is a high-precision diffuse reflector plate that has been certified by the National Metrology Institute. Before illumination detection, the light intensity of the illumination detection device 8 can be calibrated using the standard light intensity calibration plate to ensure the accuracy of the detection data. The light intensity adjustment circuit adopts PWM dimming technology, which can adjust the light intensity emitted by the illumination detection device 8 in real time according to the detection requirements to simulate different illumination environments and comprehensively detect the performance of the infrared receiver tube under various illumination conditions.
[0030] The implementation principle of the infrared receiver tube detection device according to the present invention is as follows: The operator installs the infrared receiver tube into the infrared receiver tube interface 9 of the infrared receiver tube probe seat 4. The infrared receiver tube interface 9 adopts a spring probe structure. Under the action of the spring force, the probe is in close contact with the pin of the infrared receiver tube, ensuring a stable electrical connection. The controller 2 sends a start command to the servo motor 16, which causes the drive wheel 13 to rotate. The pin 15 on the drive wheel 13 rotates with the drive wheel 13. When the pin 15 is inserted into the radial groove 14 of the driven wheel 12, it drives the driven wheel 12 to rotate, thereby causing the detection rotating disk 3 fixedly connected to the driven wheel 12 to rotate. When the pin 15 rotates out of the radial groove 14, the driven wheel 12 stops rotating, and the detection rotating disk 3 also stops, completing one intermittent motion. The encoder on the outer wall of the servo motor 16 records the motor rotation angle and speed in real time and feeds them back to the controller 2 to realize closed-loop control and ensure that the switching time between adjacent detection positions is accurately maintained within three seconds.
[0031] When the rotating detection disk 3 delivers the infrared receiver to the light intensity detection station, the controller 2 first initiates the calibration program of the light detection device 8. The standard light intensity calibration plate enters the detection area under the drive of the electric switching mechanism. The light intensity sensor 10 monitors the light intensity data in real time and feeds it back to the controller 2. The controller 2 adjusts the luminous intensity of the high-power infrared LED array using PWM dimming technology based on the preset standard light intensity value. The LED array consists of LEDs with center wavelengths of 850nm, 940nm, etc. The PWM control chip adjusts the output signal according to the controller 2's instructions. Combined with the LED drive current monitored by the high-precision sampling resistor in the current feedback loop, it ensures that the light intensity output remains stable at the set value, thus completing the process. After calibration, controller 2 controls the LED beads to illuminate the infrared receiver tube according to a preset light intensity sequence. The infrared receiver tube generates photocurrent, which is transmitted to controller 2 through infrared receiver tube interface 9. Controller 2 collects the photocurrent data, calculates the light response characteristic parameters of the infrared receiver tube, and performs detection. After the light intensity detection is completed, the detection rotating disk 3 rotates, and the infrared receiver tube after the light intensity detection is completed enters the buffer station. The operator continues to feed infrared receiver tubes, and by rotating the detection rotating disk 3 again, the detection rotating disk 3 delivers the infrared receiver tube after the light intensity detection is completed to the infrared thermal imaging detection station. The infrared thermal imaging detection device 7 is activated, and the uncooled microbolometer begins to work. The thermal radiation emitted by the infrared receiver tube is focused onto the microbolometer by a germanium infrared optical lens with a focal length of 19mm. The microbolometer converts the thermal radiation into an analog electrical signal, which is then converted into a digital signal by a high-speed ADC on the board. After noise reduction and enhancement preprocessing by a dedicated FPGA chip, the signal is transmitted to the controller 2. By analyzing the temperature distribution, the controller determines whether there are abnormalities such as short circuits or overheating caused by the infrared receiver tube. During the illumination detection and infrared thermal imaging detection processes, the controller 2 receives and processes the data fed back by the light intensity sensor 10 and the infrared thermal imaging detection device 7 in real time. The controller 2 uses an ARM Cortex-M7 core and expands with a high-speed cache chip and a large-capacity storage module. Edge computing technology is used to analyze and process data locally in real time. The analysis results are transmitted to the display screen 5 on the outer wall of the testing station 1. The screen displays the test data intuitively in the form of charts, images, etc., such as temperature distribution cloud maps and photocurrent-light intensity curves. At the same time, the AI intelligent diagnostic function automatically marks abnormal data points. If the test results show that there is an abnormality in the infrared receiver tube, the system triggers an audible and visual alarm and prompts the operator through the display screen 5. In addition, the display screen 5 supports touch operation and gesture recognition. The operator can set the test parameters, and the system automatically saves the parameter settings and generates a test plan archive, thereby completing the rapid test of the infrared receiver tube, improving its testing efficiency, and ensuring the quality of the infrared receiver tube.
