Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication unit testing tooling technology, specifically to a tooling device for sorting communication units. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of smart grids and new power systems, dual-mode communication modules, as key communication components, need to support both power line carrier and radio frequency communication methods simultaneously to ensure the stability and flexibility of power grid data transmission. To ensure the quality of dual-mode communication modules before they leave the factory, performance tests for both communication methods must be completed. The testing fixture is the core equipment for performing this test. Current fixtures used for testing dual-mode communication modules typically have multiple test fixtures on their surface, each integrating multiple contact connectors. During testing, the dual-mode communication module interfaces with the test fixture, and the contact connectors transmit the module's communication signals to an industrial control computer, which analyzes and determines whether the module's communication performance meets the standards. However, existing test fixtures have the following drawbacks: the test fixture surface lacks protective measures, leaving it completely exposed. In actual production environments, exposed test fixtures easily attract dust, metal shavings, and other impurities from the air. These impurities can enter the fixture and adhere to the contact connectors, leading to poor contact and consequently compromising signal transmission stability, severely impacting testing accuracy.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, 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.

[0013] Example To address the technical problems in the background section, the following tooling equipment for sorting communication units is provided: Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a tooling device for sorting communication units, including a main box 100 with a sloping top; an industrial control module 200 installed inside the main box 100; and a panel 400 installed on the surface of the main box 100. A first positioning groove 410 is formed on one side of the panel 400, and multiple second positioning grooves 420 are formed on the other side of the panel 400. A back plate 430 is provided at the bottom of the multiple second positioning grooves 420. 430 is fixed inside the panel 400; the test fixture 500 is embedded in the second positioning groove 420, and the bottom of the test fixture 500 is snapped into the back plate 430; the touch host 300 is embedded in the first positioning groove 410, and the touch host 300, the test fixture 500 and the industrial control module 200 are electrically connected; the transparent cover 600 is slidably installed on the surface of the panel 400, and the transparent cover 600 is used to protect the multiple sets of test fixtures 500.

[0014] In the above solution, the main box 100 integrates the industrial control module 200, the touch host 300 and multiple test fixtures 500 to achieve integrated "testing-sorting", support dual-mode parallel testing, reduce the cumbersome operation caused by the dispersion of equipment, and improve testing efficiency.

[0015] The transparent cover 600 can enclose the test fixture 500 to prevent dust and impurities from contaminating it; the first / second positioning slots 420 of the panel 400 are respectively adapted to the touch host 300 and the test fixture 500, with a neat layout and intuitive touch operation, requiring no complicated debugging.

[0016] The test fixture 500 is snapped into the backplate 430 and the industrial control module 200 is built-in. The compact structure and stable electrical connection provide a hardware foundation for automated testing and reduce errors caused by manual intervention.

[0017] In this embodiment, the surface of the back plate 430 is vertically provided with multiple sets of positioning posts 431 and wire holes 432. The bottom of each set of second positioning grooves 420 is provided with four sets of positioning posts 431, and wire holes 432 are provided between the four sets of positioning posts.

[0018] In the above scheme: the multiple sets of positioning posts 431 of the back plate 430 provide an installation reference for the test fixture 500, ensuring that each set of fixtures is accurately connected, avoiding poor contact caused by offset, and ensuring the accuracy of test data.

[0019] The cable threading hole 432 centrally stores the connection cable between the test fixture 500 and the industrial control module 200, avoiding cable tangling and facilitating subsequent inspection and maintenance, thus improving equipment operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0020] In this embodiment, positioning holes 510 are provided at the four corners of the test fixture 500, and positioning pins 431 are inserted into the positioning holes 510.

[0021] In the above scheme: the positioning holes 510 at the four corners of the test fixture 500 are precisely matched with the positioning posts 431 of the back plate 430 to form a "four-point positioning" structure, ensuring that the fixture is installed flat and without offset, making the electrical connection between the test fixture 500 and the industrial control module 200 stable and reliable, reducing signal transmission interference, and improving the consistency of test results.

[0022] In this embodiment, the main housing 100 has heat dissipation holes 110 on its side.

[0023] In the above solution, the heat dissipation holes 110 on the side of the main box 100 can quickly dissipate internal heat, providing a good heat dissipation environment for the industrial control module 200, avoiding the impact of high temperature on module performance, ensuring stable operation of the equipment for a long time, and reducing downtime maintenance due to overheating.

[0024] In this embodiment, the surface of the panel 400 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 620, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of multiple sets of second positioning grooves 420. The side cross-section of the transparent cover 600 is inverted U-shaped, and the bottom of the transparent cover 600 is damped and slidably embedded in the sliding groove 620.

[0025] In the above solution: the sliding groove 620 of the panel 400 and the bottom damping sliding cooperation of the transparent cover 600 ensure a smooth and seamless pushing and pulling process, allowing for quick exposure or concealment of the test fixture 500, adapting to the rhythm requirements of the testing process. The damping structure allows the transparent cover 600 to remain in any open or closed position, tightly enclosing the test fixture 500 during protection, effectively blocking dust and impurities, ensuring the cleanliness of the test fixture 500, and preventing contamination from affecting testing accuracy.

[0026] In this embodiment, a baffle 610 is vertically provided at one end of the surface of the transparent cover 600. The baffle 610 is used as a push-pull structure and a platform for placing the workpiece to be tested.

[0027] In the above solution: the baffle 610 is vertically mounted at the end of the transparent cover 600, serving as a dedicated push-pull structure that conforms to hand exertion habits, making opening and closing the cover less strenuous and simplifying the operation steps. The baffle 610 can also serve as a temporary placement platform for the communication unit under test, preventing confusion or loss caused by random placement of the test unit, making the testing process more orderly, and further improving sorting efficiency.

[0028] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: When not in use, a transparent protective cover surrounds the top of each set of test fixtures to prevent dust and impurities from entering; When in use, tilt the baffle upwards and push the transparent cover to expose each set of test fixtures; connect the power supply via the power cord and press the power button. Insert the communication unit to be tested into each test fixture; some communication units can be placed on a baffle to await testing.

[0029] The industrial control module includes a control unit, a dual-mode module under test, an attenuator, an RF coupling board, and a standard module; The control unit consists of a data reader and a host computer. The host computer and the data reader are connected via a serial port. The host computer collects carrier communication data on the power line through the data reader and controls the standard module or the module under test to send and receive data through the serial port. The standard module is a communication unit consisting of three parts: HPLC-CCO, HRF-CCO, and STA. It is specifically designed for bidirectional transmission and reception of high-speed power line carrier (HPLC) and high-speed wireless (HRF) data in smart grids.

[0030] Attenuators are used to attenuate high-frequency signals in HPLC or HRF communications, and to attenuate analog signals in a line.

[0031] RF coupling board, used for coupling HRF signals.

[0032] The dual-mode module under test is a module used for testing the communication unit. Select the test mode (HPLC / HRF / dual mode) via the touch screen host, configure the test parameters, and control the attenuator to perform the corresponding attenuation.

[0033] Data generation: Relevant messages are sent via a standard module and transmitted to the module under test via an attenuator. Data acquisition: The standard module receives messages returned by the module under test, and the data reader monitors the messages transmitted on the power line to monitor the entire transmission process.

[0034] Results Analysis: The control unit compares the HPLC and HRF test results and generates a test report.
