[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a terminal device testing apparatus, including a testing platform, a controller 100, a testing mechanism 200, a communication module 300, and a display module 400. The testing platform is used to place the terminal device under test 500. The controller 100 is located at one end of the testing platform and is used to drive the terminal device testing apparatus to operate. The testing mechanism 200 is located at the end of the testing platform away from the controller 100. The terminal device under test 500 is located between the controller 100 and the testing mechanism 200. The testing mechanism 200 is electrically connected to the controller 100 and is used to press the terminal device under test 500. The switch is 0; the communication module 300 is arranged side by side with the controller 100, and the communication module 300 is located between the controller 100 and the test mechanism 200. The communication module 300 is communicatively connected to the terminal device under test 500 to detect the signal of the terminal device under test 500 and generate test data. The communication module 300 is electrically connected to the controller 100 to send the test data to the controller 100; the display module 400 is arranged side by side with the controller 100 on the test platform. The display module 400 is electrically connected to the controller 100 to emit optical signals and / or display images under the control of the controller 100.

[0035] The main function of controller 100 is to connect with and control the operation of various modules and mechanisms. Controller 100 can be of various types, such as STM32, FPGA, or PLC. For example, controller 100 is an STM32. Firstly, as the core control unit, STM32 has rich hardware interfaces and powerful software programming capabilities, allowing operators to flexibly configure hardware and develop software according to specific needs to achieve various complex functions. In this embodiment, the STM32, after configuration, can generate PWM signals to drive the test mechanism 200 to test the terminal device 500 under test. It can also process detection data from the communication module 300 and analyze the detection data to control the operation of the display module 400. Furthermore, STM32 is relatively inexpensive, enabling lower hardware costs in small-scale control projects. Of course, the above is only an example; the specific type of controller 100 can be determined according to actual needs, and this utility model does not impose any limitations.

[0036] The main function of the communication module 300 is to detect the signal of the terminal device under test 500 and return the detection data to the controller 100. The controller 100 analyzes the detection data and controls the display module 400 to work, and provides feedback on the test results to the tester.

[0037] The display module 400 can emit optical signals, such as green light, to inform the tester that the terminal device 500 under test has been powered on when pressed in the testing mechanism 200; or the display module 400 can display images, such as text, numbers, or combinations thereof, to provide feedback on the test progress to the tester, for example, displaying "4 tested," allowing the tester to intuitively understand the number of terminal devices that have been tested and adjust the test schedule accordingly. Of course, the above is merely an example; the specific design of the display module 400 can be determined according to actual needs, and this utility model does not impose any limitations on it.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0039] (1) By setting the controller 100 to connect with each module and mechanism, it can drive them to run independently without the need for a host computer.

[0040] (2) By setting up a display module 400, it can be controlled by the controller 100 to emit optical signals or display image information during the test, so as to provide test results and progress feedback to the testers more intuitively and improve the test efficiency of the terminal equipment test device.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 The display module 400 includes a display component 410, which is electrically connected to the controller 100 to display images under the control of the controller 100.

[0042] The display component 410 can be an LCD, a digital tube, etc. For example, the display component 410 is a digital tube. In this embodiment, the digital tube displays numbers to provide real-time feedback on the test progress to the testers. The interface between the digital tube and other electronic devices or circuits is relatively simple; only the corresponding pins need to be connected, and the display of numbers can be achieved through control signals. In this embodiment, a 4-digit 7-segment digital tube is connected to pins 6-8 of the STM32's GPIO. In addition, the digital tube has a low cost, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the terminal equipment testing device. The power consumption of the digital tube is also relatively low during operation, which can effectively save energy. Of course, the above is only an example, and the specific design can be determined according to actual needs. This utility model does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0043] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2The display module 400 also includes a reset component 420, which can reset the display component 410 when activated. Specifically, the reset component 420 is a button. After all terminal devices in a batch have been tested, the tester can press the button, and the controller 100 will receive a signal to control the display component 410 to reset. For example, the counter of the digital tube can be cleared to zero for easier test management.

[0044] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 The display module 400 also includes at least one indicator light 430, which is electrically connected to the controller 100 to emit light under the control of the controller 100.

[0045] The number of indicator lights 430 can be 1, 2, or 3, etc. For example, in this embodiment, there are 2 indicator lights 430. The two indicator lights 430 can display the power-on / off status of the terminal device under test 500 during the test. For instance, when the test mechanism 200 presses the switch of the terminal device under test 500, the terminal device under test 500 successfully powers on. The communication module 300 receives the power-on signal and returns the detection data to the controller 100. The controller 100 controls one of the indicator lights 430 to emit a green light based on the detection data. When the test mechanism 200 presses the switch of the terminal device under test 500 again, the terminal device under test 500 changes from the power-on state to the power-off state. The communication module 300 loses communication with the terminal device under test 500 and returns the detection data to the controller 100. The controller 100 controls the other indicator light 430 to emit a red light based on the detection data, allowing testers to intuitively obtain test results and improving test efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments, indicator light 430 is an LED light. LED lights can produce sufficient brightness with low energy consumption, reducing energy consumption. LED lights can also emit various colors of light to meet testing requirements. Of course, the above is merely an example; the specific type can be determined according to actual needs, and this invention does not impose any limitations.

[0047] In this embodiment, the communication module 300 also includes an interface on the controller 100, which establishes a communication connection with the terminal device under test via a cable. For example, when testing engineering machines such as router development boards, a serial communication connection is established by connecting the interface of the controller 100 and the serial port of the router development board via a cable. The STM32 receives serial port data and parses keywords, such as "Boot OK" indicating power-on and "Shutdown" indicating power-off.

[0048] The terminal device testing apparatus provided in this embodiment can also test some non-serial port terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and routers. Please refer to... Figure 3The communication module 300 includes a WI-FI module 310 and a Bluetooth module 320; the WI-FI module 310 communicates with the terminal device under test 500 via wireless signal and detects the SSID data of the terminal device under test 500; the Bluetooth module 320 communicates with the terminal device under test 500 via wireless signal and detects the ID data of the terminal device under test 500.

[0049] The Wi-Fi module 310 has an independent circuit board and a built-in antenna, which interacts with the STM32's UART2. It determines the power-on / off status by detecting the Wi-Fi signal of the entire device. For example, the STM32 sends the command "AT+CWLAP" to the Wi-Fi module 310. The Wi-Fi module 310 scans for the device's Wi-Fi SSID, such as "Router_ABC". If the SSID is successfully detected, it returns data to the controller 100, which controls the indicator light 430 to turn green and updates the digital tube counter. When the SSID disappears or the connection is lost, it indicates that the device is powered off. The controller 100 controls the indicator light 430 to turn red and updates the digital tube counter.

[0050] The Bluetooth module 320 has an independent circuit board and antenna, and interacts with the STM32's UART1. It determines the power-on / off status by detecting the Bluetooth signal of the entire device. For example, the STM32 sends an "AT+SCAN" command to the Bluetooth module 320, which scans the device's Bluetooth ID, such as "iPhone_123". If the ID detection is successful or Bluetooth pairing is successful, it returns signal strength data to the controller 100. The controller 100 then controls the indicator light 430 to illuminate green and updates the digital tube count. When the ID disappears, it indicates that the device is powered off; the controller 100 controls the indicator light 430 to illuminate red and updates the digital tube count. This terminal device testing device, by incorporating the Wi-Fi module 310 and Bluetooth module 320, can adapt to devices without serial ports, enhancing the device's versatility.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 The test mechanism 200 includes a drive member 210 and a pressing member 220; the drive member 210 is electrically connected to the controller 100 to operate under the control of the controller 100; the pressing member 220 is connected to one end of the drive member 210 to press or release the switch of the terminal device under test 500 under the drive of the drive member 210.

[0052] The type of drive component 210 can be varied, such as a motor or a cylinder. For example, the drive component 210 is a motor, specifically a linear servo motor. In this embodiment, the linear servo motor, in conjunction with an encoder, can precisely control the stroke of the pressing component 220, allowing the pressing component 220 to better press the switch and preventing damage to the switch due to excessive stroke. The controller 100 can control the linear servo motor to drive the pressing component 220 to move horizontally and repeatedly, and is equipped with a delay to simulate user operation, such as a short press time of 0.5 seconds and a long press time of 2 seconds.

[0053] In reality, the switches in the terminal device under test 500 come in different types, such as push-button switches and toggle switches. To accommodate different switch types, the pressing component 220 is detachably connected to the driving component 210, facilitating timely replacement of the pressing component 220 with a switch that is compatible, thus improving the device's versatility. Furthermore, if the pressing component 220 is damaged, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0054] To further protect the switch of the device under test 500, the pressing member 220 is equipped with a limiting ring and a spring. When the pressing member 220 is driven to move by the driving member 210, the spring and the limiting ring can limit the stroke, prevent overpressure, and protect the device under test 500.

[0055] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 To accommodate the switch positions of different terminal devices 500 under test, the testing mechanism 200 also includes a mounting bracket 230 for fixing the drive component 210, which is movable relative to the mounting bracket 230. The drive component 210 can be rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 230 or slidably connected to it. For example, the drive component 210 can be slidably connected to the mounting bracket 230. By sliding on the mounting bracket 230, the drive component 210 can move to different positions, ensuring the pressing component 220 is directly facing the switch, thus improving pressing accuracy. Of course, the above is merely an example; specific implementations can be tailored to actual needs, and this invention does not impose limitations.

[0056] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 The mounting bracket 230 includes a fixed bracket 231 and a slide rail mounted on the fixed bracket 231. A sliding member 232 is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the other end of the sliding member 232 is connected to the driving member 210, allowing the driving member 210 to slide relative to the slide rail. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the driving member 210, the tester manually adjusts the slider to move the driving member 210 connected to it. After adjustment, the slider is locked to facilitate stable testing.

[0057] In some embodiments, the terminal device testing apparatus further includes a fixture disposed on a test platform, the fixture being used to fix the terminal device under test 500. The fixture includes a clamping block and a base, the base being connected to the test platform, and the clamping block being able to clamp the terminal device under test 500, whether it be a complete unit or an engineering sample, to ensure test stability.

[0058] In some embodiments, the fixture is also equipped with a removable tray, which can be mounted on the fixture when wiring is required for the engineering type terminal device 500, thus preventing cables from drooping and getting tangled.

[0059] The above are only some or preferred embodiments of this utility model. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of this utility model specification and drawings under the overall concept of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
