Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of robot-assisted automated testing, and in particular to a robot testing island testing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the testing process of modern electronic products, especially in functional testing involving high voltage, high current, and high power, traditional manual handling and testing methods have significant shortcomings. These shortcomings are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
[0003] Manual handling is inefficient and high-risk. The products under test are typically large and heavy; for example, a communication base station battery management unit, one model of which measures 540*120*107 mm and weighs 30 kg. Manual handling is not only inefficient but also prone to worker fatigue and injuries. During high-voltage and high-current testing, manual operation poses a risk of electric shock, seriously impacting worker health and safety.
[0004] Moreover, the testing time is usually short (only 4 to 6 minutes), and after the test is completed, the product to be tested still needs to be manually moved to the next work station, which leads to excessive labor intensity for workers and reduces overall production efficiency.
[0005] Although some automated testing equipment exists on the market, these devices often cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of efficient handling, accurate testing, and safe operation, thus failing to satisfy the needs for efficient, accurate, and safe testing.
[0006] Therefore, the industry urgently needs an integrated automated testing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.
[0008] This utility model provides a robotic testing island testing device, including a transport robot, a conveying component, and a testing component. The conveying component is installed on the front side of the transport robot, and the testing component is installed on both sides of the transport robot, so that the transport robot can pick up the product to be tested on the conveying component and transport it to the testing components on both sides for corresponding testing operations; after the test is completed, the product to be tested is taken from the testing component and transported to the conveying component.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the conveying assembly is provided with a loading conveyor belt and a unloading conveyor belt. The loading conveyor belt is used to transport the product to be tested from the previous station to the testing assembly, and the unloading conveyor belt is used to transport the product to be tested after testing from the testing assembly to the next station.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the conveying assembly is also provided with a defective product conveyor belt, which is used to convey defective products that have been tested by the testing assembly to the next workstation.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: photoelectric sensors are installed at both ends of the feeding conveyor belt, the unloading conveyor belt and the defective product conveyor belt to detect whether the products on the conveyor belt have been transported to the corresponding positions.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the conveying component is also provided with a barcode scanning device near the handling robot. The barcode scanning device is used to scan the product to be tested, thereby identifying and recording its parameters.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the test component is provided with two sets of test racks, which are respectively installed on both sides of the transport robot, thereby facilitating the transport robot to transport the product to be tested from the test racks on both sides.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the test assembly includes a test host, a cell simulator, and test fixtures. The test rack has a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer from bottom to top. The test host is installed on the first layer, the cell simulator is installed on the second layer, and the test fixtures are installed on the third and fourth layers respectively, so that two products under test can be tested simultaneously.
[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the test rack has four rows of racks, each row of racks is equipped with test components, so that one set of test racks can test eight products under test at the same time.
[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the testing fixture is provided with a testing clamp and a telescopic platform. The telescopic platform is slidably connected to the testing clamp to accommodate the product to be tested, and retracts and moves to the clamping position of the testing clamp, so that the mating probe of the testing clamp abuts against the corresponding mating position of the product to be tested, forming a corresponding electrical connection, so that the testing host and the cell simulator are respectively electrically connected to the product to be tested.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. Automated loading and unloading: Automatic picking and placing of products to be tested is achieved through handling robots, reducing manual intervention and thus improving efficiency.
[0019] 2. Efficient testing process: Combined with the conveyor components, it realizes automatic feeding of products under test, discharge of good products and return of defective products, thus optimizing the testing process.
[0020] 3. Safety assurance: Under high-voltage testing conditions, ensure the safety of operators and reduce the risk of electric shock.
[0021] Based on the above improvements, this utility model proposes a robotic testing island solution integrating a handling robot, a conveying component, and a testing component. Through automated operation, it realizes the feeding, testing, discharge of good products, and return of defective products, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency, safety hazards, and high labor intensity in traditional testing methods.

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a robotic testing island testing device includes a transport robot, a conveying component, and a testing component. The conveying component is installed on the front side of the transport robot, and the testing component is installed on both sides of the transport robot, so that the transport robot can pick up the product to be tested on the conveying component and transport it to the testing components on both sides for corresponding testing operations; after the test is completed, the product to be tested is taken from the testing component and transported to the conveying component.
[0032] Specifically, some products under test require rapid functional testing, and some even require simulated testing with high voltage, high current, and high power. Because these products are heavy, manual handling is inefficient and can easily lead to worker fatigue and injury. Furthermore, high voltage and high current testing pose a risk of electric shock during insertion and connection, impacting worker health. For example, when testing the battery management unit of a communication base station, one model measures 540*120*107mm and weighs 30kg, making manual handling extremely inconvenient. Moreover, the testing time is only 4-6 minutes, very short, and after completion, the product must be removed from the testing equipment again, resulting in excessive labor intensity for workers.
[0033] Therefore, this utility model integrates a handling robot and a conveyor belt on the basis of testing equipment. The handling robot realizes the automatic loading and unloading of the products to be tested, and in conjunction with the conveyor belt, it achieves the fixed-point picking and placing of the products to be tested, the automatic feeding of good products, the discharge of defective products, and the return of defective products. This can save labor and improve testing efficiency. In particular, it can avoid danger when the products to be tested need to undergo high-pressure testing.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly is provided with a loading conveyor belt and a unloading conveyor belt. The loading conveyor belt is used to transport the product to be tested from the previous station to the testing assembly, and the unloading conveyor belt is used to transport the product to be tested after testing from the testing assembly to the next station.
[0035] Specifically, in order to transport the product to be tested to a position where the handling robot can operate, it is preferable to set up a feeding conveyor belt to transport the product to be tested that has been processed at the previous station to a position close to the handling robot, so that the handling robot can operate automatically to transport the product to be tested.
[0036] Secondly, after the test is completed, the handling robot can automatically move the tested product to the unloading conveyor belt so that it can be transported to the next workstation for subsequent processing.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly is further provided with a defective product conveyor belt, which is used to convey defective products that have been tested by the testing assembly to the next workstation.
[0038] Specifically, since some defective products may be found during the testing process, a defective product conveyor belt needs to be set up to transport the defective products to the next workstation for repair or reassembly. The defective product conveyor belt is preferably located below the feeding conveyor belt, and a handling robot is used to move the tested defective products onto the defective product conveyor belt, returning them to the previous workstation.
[0039] Secondly, the defective product conveyor belt 23 and the feeding conveyor belt 21 are designed with two layers, making their movement trajectories similar. This allows the products to be tested and defective products to be operated separately at similar positions on the upper and lower layers, so that one handling robot 10 can complete the corresponding operation. At the same time, it saves manpower, allowing one worker to supervise or handle the feeding of products to be tested and the return of defective products at the same time.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, photoelectric sensors are installed at both ends of the feeding conveyor belt, the unloading conveyor belt, and the defective product conveyor belt to detect whether the products on the conveyor belt have been conveyed to the corresponding positions.
[0041] Specifically, the photoelectric sensor can be a proximity switch type photoelectric sensor from SICK, model GTB6-N1212, which can sense whether there is a product being conveyed at the corresponding position on the conveyor belt, and then feed back the corresponding electrical signal to the main control system of the testing equipment for automated control of the entire testing equipment.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the conveying component is also equipped with a barcode scanning device near the handling robot. The barcode scanning device is used to scan the product to be tested, thereby identifying and recording its model.
[0043] Specifically, the scanning device can be an existing industrial barcode scanner, enabling it to scan the barcode area of the product to obtain relevant parameters, such as product model and specifications. This information is then fed back to the testing component, allowing it to perform corresponding testing operations using the appropriate testing program.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the testing component has two sets of test racks, which are respectively installed on both sides of the handling robot, thereby facilitating the handling robot to move the products under test from the test racks on both sides. The testing component includes a test host, a cell simulator, and test fixtures. The test rack has a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer from bottom to top. The test host is installed on the first layer, the cell simulator is installed on the second layer, and the test fixtures are installed on the third and fourth layers respectively, so that two products under test can be tested simultaneously. The test rack has four columns of racks, and each column of racks is equipped with test components, so that one set of test racks can test eight products under test simultaneously.
[0045] Specifically, to maximize the testing area, it is preferable to install two sets of test racks on each side of the transport robot, allowing the robot to handle the test racks on both sides independently. Since the main testing unit and cell simulator are relatively heavy, to optimize the center of gravity of the test rack and make it more stable, it is preferable to install the main testing unit on the first layer of the test rack and the cell simulator on the second layer. The third and fourth layers above can be used to install testing fixtures for testing the products under test. Correspondingly, a raised base can also be installed under the transport robot to facilitate the transport robot's handling of products on the fourth layer.
[0046] Secondly, a display screen can be installed in a suitable position on the test rack to show the operation and test status throughout the entire testing process, so that workers can monitor and correct the entire testing equipment during the test.
[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the testing fixture is provided with a testing clamp and a telescopic platform. The telescopic platform is slidably connected to the testing clamp to accommodate the product under test, and retracts to the clamping position of the testing clamp, so that the mating probe of the testing clamp abuts against the corresponding mating position of the product under test, forming a corresponding electrical connection, so that the testing host and the cell simulator are respectively electrically connected to the product under test.
[0048] Specifically, the workbench of the testing fixture and the telescopic platform can be slidably connected using existing linear modules and driven by cylinders, so that the telescopic platform can extend outward or retract inward relative to the testing fixture.
[0049] Secondly, a clamping cylinder can be installed on the top of the test fixture, and together with the corresponding clamping plate and clamping wheel, it drives the mating probe to be inserted into the mating position of the product under test, thereby forming the corresponding electrical connection, so that the product under test can be connected to the test system of the test host and perform the corresponding test operation.
[0050] The specific operating procedure is as follows:
[0051] The handling robot first picks up the material from the feeding conveyor belt, grabs the product to be tested, and then moves it to the barcode scanning device to scan the barcode, so that the testing host can identify and record the specific model and specifications of the product to be tested.
[0052] Then the transport robot moves the product to be tested to the test racks on both sides and places it on the telescopic platform of the test fixture.
[0053] The telescopic platform then retracts inward, moving the product under test to the clamping position of the test fixture. This causes the test fixture to rotate, driving the mating probes to move toward the product under test and abut against the mating position of the product under test, forming a corresponding electrical connection. This allows the test host to start the test program on the product under test and perform preset test operations.
[0054] After testing is completed, the handling robot will place the qualified products back onto the unloading conveyor belt, allowing them to flow to the next workstation. Conversely, the non-compliant (NG) products will be placed on the defective product conveyor belt, returning them to the previous workstation for appropriate processing.
[0055] The transport robot can be the Siasun SR50A-50 / 2.15, a six-axis industrial robot designed specifically for medium-load scenarios. With its wide working radius of 2.15 meters and a load capacity of 50 kg, it can perform fast and precise transport tasks between the test racks on both sides and the conveyor belt in front. Integrating advanced servo drive technology and a high-precision control system, it ensures stability and accurate positioning at high speeds. Furthermore, its flexible joint structure and intelligent software support make programming and application simple and quick, allowing it to be configured according to the specific transport process of the product under test, further improving the overall operational efficiency of the testing equipment.
[0056] The specific implementation example is as follows: Testing of the communication base station battery management host.

[0069] Test fixtures: Installed on the third and fourth layers of the test rack, they include test clamps and telescopic platforms, used to fix the product under test and complete the electrical connection.
[0070] 4. Operating Procedures:
[0071] Material handling: The handling robot picks up the communication base station battery management host to be tested from the feeding conveyor belt.
[0072] Barcode scanning and identification: The handling robot moves the product to the barcode scanning device, scans the product barcode, and records the corresponding model and specifications.
[0073] Transfer to test rack: The transfer robot places the product on the telescopic platform of the test fixture.
[0074] 5. Testing process:
[0075] The telescopic platform retracts inward, moving the product to the clamping position. The mating probes of the test fixture align with the product's connectors, establishing an electrical connection. The test host then initiates a preset test program to perform simulated high-voltage, high-current tests.
[0076] 6. Material discharge processing:
[0077] After the test is completed, the handling robot places the qualified products on the unloading conveyor belt and moves them to the next workstation.
[0078] Defective products are placed on the defective products conveyor belt and returned to the previous workstation for processing.
[0079] 7. Technical Effects:
