Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of avionics equipment testing, and in particular to a test apparatus for the detonation logic of a control converter. Background Technology

[0002] During normal helicopter flight, the emergency rescue positioning system collects relevant system data and records it in its internal data recording component. When the helicopter encounters distress, the emergency rescue positioning system detects water immersion signals, impact overload signals, or manual jettison signals. It then activates the positioning transceiver to separate from the helicopter. After detaching, the transceiver transmits beacon signals, spread spectrum signals, BeiDou signals, and flashing position signals, and records its drift trajectory data to guide search and rescue forces to the crash site. Therefore, the accuracy of the detonation logic test is extremely important. Due to the specific nature of the testing during the production process of the control converter, conventional testing requires the preparation of several connecting wires in advance, frequent wire insertion into the X1 and X2 pins of the control converter connector according to technical documents, and soldering wires to the jettison control module. This involves a large amount of testing equipment and requires three people to complete the test. This presents various problems such as complex test preparation, poor contact stability, and low testing efficiency, affecting production progress. Therefore, this testing device was invented to simplify the testing process, save testing time, improve work efficiency, and enhance the reliability and safety of the test. Utility Model Content

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides a test device for the detonation logic of a control converter.

[0036] A test device for the detonation logic of a control converter includes: a power module, a test box 1, and a connecting cable 2.

[0037] The test box 1 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 3 on the control converter under test 4 via the connecting cable 2, and the power module supplies power to the control converter under test 4 via the connecting cable 2.

[0038] The test box 1 is equipped with multiple short-circuit switches and multiple output test holes.

[0039] The shorting switch controls the electrical connection between the two test pins of the electrical connector 3. After the electrical connector 3 is plugged into the socket of the control converter under test (DCUTP) 4, the test pins are electrically connected to the corresponding test sockets on the DCUTP 4 socket. The test sockets on the DCUTP 4 socket are pre-designed sockets specifically for testing. The shorting switch simulates the input signal to the DCUTP 4. After receiving the signal, the corresponding module inside the DCUTP 4 executes the corresponding action and outputs a signal through the socket of the DCUTP 4 socket. By opening any shorting switch, the waveform of the corresponding output test hole is tested, and the time difference of the waveforms output from each output test hole is compared to see if it meets the design requirements.

[0040] The output test port is connected via a connecting cable 2 and a signal output pin on an electrical connector 3. This output test port is used to connect an oscilloscope. The signal output pin of the electrical connector 3 corresponds to the signal output jack on the control converter under test (DCUTP) 4. That is, by detecting the output signal of the corresponding jack on the DCUTP 4 socket after receiving a signal using an oscilloscope, the system can determine whether the corresponding module inside the DCUTP 4 is executing actions or sending signals according to correct logic. This application designs a test box 1 and an electrical connector 3 for the DCUTP 4. When performing logic tests on the DCUTP 4, only a shorting switch needs to be controlled.

[0041] The electrical connector 3 is provided with a first immersion trigger signal input pin and a first immersion trigger signal output pin. The first immersion trigger signal input pin and the first immersion trigger signal output pin are used to connect with the immersion test signal socket on the socket of the control converter under test 4 to form an electrical connection. The first immersion trigger signal input pin and the first immersion trigger signal output pin are the test pins mentioned above, and the immersion test signal socket is the socket on the socket of the control converter under test 4 that is dedicated to testing.

[0042] The test box 1 is equipped with a first immersion trigger signal input connection line and a first immersion trigger signal output connection line. One end of the first immersion trigger signal input connection line and the first immersion trigger signal input pin are electrically connected via a connecting cable 2, and one end of the first immersion trigger signal output connection line and the first immersion trigger signal output pin are electrically connected via a connecting cable 2. The test box 1 is equipped with a first short-circuit switch 11 connected in series between the first immersion trigger signal input connection line and the first immersion trigger signal output connection line. The first short-circuit switch 11 closes and shorts the first immersion trigger signal input pin and the first immersion trigger signal output pin to simulate the output signal of one of the immersion signal receiving units inside the control converter under test 4 after the immersion sensor is immersed in water, which serves as the immersion test signal of the control converter under test 4.

[0043] The test box 1 is provided with a first water sensor signal test hole 12, a start positioning signal test hole 13, and a release signal test hole 14. The first water sensor signal test hole 12 is connected to the input terminal of one of the immersion signal receiving units inside the control converter under test 4 through a connecting cable 2 and an electrical connector 3. The start positioning signal test hole 13 is connected to the positioning unit inside the control converter under test 4 through a connecting cable 2 and an electrical connector 3. The release signal test hole 14 is connected to the release unit inside the control converter under test 4 through a connecting cable 2 and an electrical connector 3.

[0044] After the water immersion sensor is immersed in water, it outputs a signal to the control converter under test 4. This application simulates the water immersion test signal of the control converter under test 4 by closing the short-circuit switch of the test box 1. When the water immersion signal receiving unit of the control converter under test 4 correctly receives the water immersion test signal, the water sensor signal test hole has a waveform output. After water immersion is detected, the positioner of the start recorder and the throw unit recorder are activated, and the corresponding start positioning signal test hole 13 and throw signal test hole 14 have waveform outputs. By analyzing and comparing the waveforms of each test hole, the time difference of each signal is obtained, which is used to verify the control converter under test 4. For example, by comparing the signal time difference of the first water sensor signal test hole 12 and the throw signal test hole 14, it is determined whether the time difference from detecting water immersion to starting throw meets the delay requirement. The signal time difference of the start positioning signal test hole 13 and the throw signal test hole 14 is used to determine whether the time difference between start positioning and start throw meets the delay requirement.

[0045] In order to test the response logic of another water immersion signal receiving unit inside the control converter 4 under test, the electrical connector 3 is provided with a second water immersion trigger signal input pin and a second water immersion trigger signal output pin. The test box 1 is provided with a second water immersion trigger signal input connection line and a second water immersion trigger signal output connection line. One end of the second water immersion trigger signal input connection line and the second water immersion trigger signal input pin are electrically connected through a connecting cable 2. One end of the second water immersion trigger signal output connection line and the second water immersion trigger signal output pin are electrically connected through a connecting cable 2.

[0046] The test box 1 is provided with a second shorting switch 15 connected in series between the second immersion trigger signal input connection line and the second immersion trigger signal output connection line. The second shorting switch 15 closes and shorts the second immersion trigger signal input pin and the second immersion trigger signal output pin to simulate the output signal of another immersion signal receiving unit inside the control converter 4 under test after the immersion sensor is immersed in water.

[0047] The test box 1 is provided with a second water sensor signal test hole 16, which is connected to the input terminal of another immersion signal receiving unit inside the control converter 4 under test through a connecting cable 2 and an electrical connector 3.

[0048] This application simulates the immersion test signal of the control converter under test 4 by closing the short-circuit switch of test box 1. When another immersion signal receiving unit of the control converter under test 4 correctly receives the immersion test signal, the water sensor signal test hole has a waveform output. After immersion is detected, the positioner of the start recorder and the throw unit in the recorder are launched, and the corresponding start positioning signal test hole 13 and throw signal test hole 14 have waveform outputs. By analyzing and comparing the waveforms of each test hole, the time difference of each signal is obtained, which is used to verify the control converter under test 4. For example, by comparing the signal time difference of the second water sensor signal test hole 16 and the throw signal test hole 14, it is determined whether the time difference from detecting immersion to starting throw meets the delay requirement. The signal time difference of the start positioning signal test hole 13 and the throw signal test hole 14 is used to determine whether the time difference between start positioning and start throw meets the delay requirement.

[0049] The socket on the control converter under test 4 includes a water immersion test signal socket for the water immersion signal receiving unit to receive signals.

[0050] To enable a single test box 1 to test different control converters 4, the electrical connector 3 is provided with multiple first immersion trigger signal input pins, multiple first immersion trigger signal output pins, multiple second immersion trigger signal input pins, and multiple second immersion trigger signal output pins. The positions of these pins are designed to correspond to the test sockets on different control converters 4. Each first immersion trigger signal input pin, each first immersion trigger signal output pin, each second immersion trigger signal input pin, and each second immersion trigger signal output pin constitutes a group of immersion trigger pins, and different groups of these pins correspond to different immersion test signal sockets on the control converter 4 under test. The test box 1 is provided with multiple first short-circuit switches 11 and multiple second short-circuit switches 15. Each first short-circuit switch 11 and each second short-circuit switch 15 constitutes a short-circuit switch group. The number of short-circuit switch groups corresponds one-to-one with the number of immersion trigger pin groups. The test box 1 is provided with multiple first water sensor signal test holes 12, multiple second water sensor signal test holes 16, multiple start positioning signal test holes 13, and multiple throwing signal test holes 14. Each first water sensor signal test hole 12 and each second water sensor signal test hole 16 constitutes a test hole group. Each test group hole is electrically connected to two immersion signal receiving units inside different tested control converters 4. Different start positioning signal test holes 13 are electrically connected to the positioning units inside different tested control converters 4. Different throwing signal test holes 14 are connected to the throwing units inside different tested control converters 4.

[0051] like Figure 2 In this embodiment, shorting X2 (16-17) and shorting X2 (26-27) are shorting switches corresponding to the other tested control converter 4, and X34 and X1-17 correspond to the first water sensor signal test hole 12 and the second water sensor signal test hole 16 of the other tested control converter 4.

[0052] The test box 1 is provided with a grounding socket 17, which is connected to the GND grounding terminal of the control converter 4 under test through the connecting cable 2 and the electrical connector 3. The grounding socket 17 is used to connect to the GND grounding terminal of the oscilloscope.

[0053] Short-circuit the push-button switch or toggle switch.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
