[0002] Currently, with the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for audio-visual systems are also increasing. A loudspeaker is a common audio output device that produces sound by causing a paper cone to vibrate due to the force exerted on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field.

Its main function is to amplify weak audio signals, providing sufficient power to drive the loudspeaker to vibrate and produce sound. During the production process, power amplifiers require testing many parameters and performing program upgrades. Current tooling involves manually connecting the wiring harness to the power amplifier for testing and upgrades. Power amplifiers require many load resistors when under load, and the chaotic working environment can easily lead to errors and affect testing efficiency.

[0018] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model provides a device for testing power amplifiers, which can be used to perform dual-station testing on power amplifier 01. The device for testing power amplifiers of this utility model includes a device housing 11, a control device, a load connection part 114, and a power amplifier tooling device 51, etc.; the control device includes a circuit control device 112, a pneumatic control part 113, etc.

[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, the equipment housing 11 includes a base plate 111, a side plate 112, a front panel 113, a rear panel 114, an upper mounting plate 115, a miniature slide rail 116, a push plate and positioning block 117, a fixing plate and positioning block 118, etc.; the fixing plate and positioning block 118 are used for positioning; the miniature slide rail 116 is fixed on the upper mounting plate 115, and the push plate and positioning block 117 are slidably connected to the miniature slide rail 116; the push plate and positioning block 117 can slide on the miniature slide rail 116.

[0020] like Figure 7As shown, the power amplifier fixture includes: a support plate 511, a stop block 512, a clamping cylinder 513, a contour insert assembly 514, a power plug 515, and a heavy-duty connector male terminal 516, etc.; the heavy-duty connector male terminal 516 can be a 108-pin heavy-duty connector male terminal, etc. The power amplifier is placed on the support plate 511 and fixed by the stop block 512 and the clamping cylinder 513. The entire support plate 511 is fixed on the push plate and the positioning block 117.

[0021] The tooling power plug is plugged into the power socket (tooling end). The tray 511 is used to support the power amplifier; the stop block 512 and the clamping cylinder 513 are located on the tray 511 to fix the power amplifier; the tray 511 is fixed on the push plate and the positioning block 117 and can move toward the contour plug assembly 514 until the contour plug assembly 514 contacts the power amplifier; the contour plug assembly 514 is connected to the power plug 515 and the heavy-duty connector male terminal 516 by wires, and the heavy-duty connector male terminal 516 is plugged into the heavy-duty connector, that is, the 108-pin heavy-duty connector male terminal is plugged into the 108-pin heavy-duty connector (female terminal).

[0022] A control device is used to control the operation of the clamping cylinder 513 and to control the sliding of the push plate and positioning block 117 on the miniature slide rail 116. The control device includes a pneumatic control unit, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the air circuit control device includes: air source filter 311, three-way connector 312, solenoid valve assembly 313, cylinder 314, clamp connector 315, etc.; the air source filter 311, three-way connector 312, solenoid valve assembly 313, cylinder 314 and clamp connector 315 are connected by air pipes; the telescopic rod of cylinder 314 is connected to push plate and positioning block 117.

[0023] Pressurized gas passes through the gas source filter 311 and enters the solenoid valve group 313 through the three-way connector 312. By controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve group 313, the pressurized gas enters the cylinder 314, and controls the extension and retraction of the extension rod of the cylinder 314 to drive the push plate and the positioning block 117 to slide on the miniature slide rail 116.

[0024] For example, when the air pressure of 0.6-1.0Mpa passes through the air source filter 311, it enters the solenoid valve group 313 through the three-way connector 312. By opening and closing the solenoid valve group 313, the air pressure is controlled to enter the cylinder 314, and the cylinder 314 is controlled to extend and retract. The clamping plate connector 117 is connected to the clamping cylinder 513 through the air pipe, and the clamping cylinder 513 is controlled to work.

[0025] The control device includes a circuit control device, such as...

[0026] The controller 211 is equipped with a pre-programmed sequence. When the start switch 212 is pressed, the controller 211 operates according to the pre-programmed sequence. By controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 214, it controls the cylinder to move, controls the clamping cylinder 513 to run, and controls the push plate and positioning block 117 to slide on the miniature slide rail 116. After the power amplifier is placed on the tray 511, pressing the start switch 212 causes the clamping cylinder 513 to clamp the power amplifier. The push plate and positioning block 117 move forward, bringing the power amplifier into contact with the contour plug-in assembly 514. The power amplifier is powered on and begins to work. After the corresponding operation is completed by the computer-side test software, the device controls the push plate and positioning block 117 to move backward, disengaging the power amplifier from the contour plug-in assembly 514. The clamping cylinder 513 rises, and the entire test is completed.

[0027] Solenoid valve 214 can be an independent solenoid valve or a solenoid valve in solenoid valve group 313. The number of solenoid valves 214 can be one or two, etc. The air source path is: air pressure - air source filter - solenoid valve group - cylinder. After the power amplifier is placed, controller 211 controls the clamping cylinder to clamp by controlling the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve. Controller 211 controls the solenoid valve in the solenoid valve group to control cylinder 314 to push the tray forward. When the detection time is up, controller 211 controls the solenoid valve in the solenoid valve group to control cylinder 314 to push the tray backward. Controller 211 controls the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to control the clamping cylinder to release.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the load connection device includes a load resistor 411, a heavy-duty connector female terminal 412, a heavy-duty connector 413, a tooling-side power socket 414, and an input-side power socket 415. The load resistor 411 and the heavy-duty connector female terminal 412 are connected using twisted-pair wires; the tooling-side power socket 414 and the input-side power socket 415 are connected using wires. The tooling-side power socket 414 is connected to a tooling plug. The input-side power socket 415 is the power input interface for the power amplifier.

[0029] The heavy-duty connector female terminal 412 is a 108-pin heavy-duty connector (female), and the heavy-duty connector 413 is a 24-pin heavy-duty connector (female). The load resistor 411 is connected to the 108-pin heavy-duty connector (female) via twisted-pair wires (pins 1-48); pins 50-54 of the 108-pin heavy-duty connector (female) are connected to pins 1-4 of the 24-pin heavy-duty connector (female), for CAN and A2B signals respectively. The power socket (tooling end) 414 and the power socket (input end) 415 are connected with wires.

[0030] This utility model provides a device for power amplifier testing, which solves the problems of messy and error-prone testing environments. Its dual-station design allows for simultaneous operation, improving work efficiency. It also enhances the stability and accuracy of the testing process.
