Description
技术领域
本发明涉及存储装置测试系统中的存储装置传送。
背景技术
磁盘驱动器生产商通常要对于其所生产的磁盘驱动器进行测试,以符合需求。为了测试大量串联或者并联的磁盘驱动器,就要有测试设备和技术。生产商倾向于对于大量磁盘驱动器进行同时测试或者分批测试。磁盘驱动器测试系统通常包括具有多个用于测试的测试槽的一个或者多个支架,该测试槽容纳磁盘驱动器。
邻近磁盘驱动器的测试环境被严格控制。该测试环境中的最小温度变化对于测试环境的准确性和磁盘驱动器的安全性来说至关重要。具有较高性能、较快转速和较小磁头间隙的最新一代磁盘驱动器对于振动更加敏感。过度的振动会影响测试结果的可靠性以及电连接的完整性。在测试条件下,驱动器本身可以通过支撑结构或者固定装置将振动传导到相邻单元。这种振动的“串扰”与振动的外部源结合在一起造成了碰撞故障、磁头松动、非重复性偏离(NRRO),这些会导致产量下降以及生产成本的增加。
现有的磁盘驱动器测试系统利用操作人员,使用机械臂、或者输送带,单独地将磁盘驱动器输送到传输位置,用于将磁盘驱动器装载到测试系统中进行测试。测试系统的机械臂单独地将磁盘驱动器从输送位置取回并且将其装入测试槽用于测试。

具体实施例
存储装置测试系统中的存储装置的批量输送(bulk feeding)由于特别地提高了存储装置测试系统的吞吐量和效率,从而优于存储装置的手动单个输送。正如以下将进行的详细描述,将保持多个存储装置的多个存储装置搬运箱(tote)(也称为搬运箱)设置到存储装置测试系统尤其允许连续的存储装置测试,在多个存储装置搬运箱之中进行磁盘分类,将用户介入最小化,以及提高现有系统效率。存储装置搬运箱中的存储装置的批量输送为生产场所提供了灵活性(例如,相比于对固定的输送机重新配置路线,将存储装置搬运箱或者载有存储装置搬运箱的拖车(cart)或者手推车(trolley)进行重定向就很容易)。操作人员可以将一批驱动器(例如,通过存储装置搬运箱)设置到存储装置测试系统,接着离开去操作(service)另一系统。存储装置搬运箱中的存储装置批量输送还能够利用存储装置搬运箱使所测试的驱动器进行自动分类,下面将进行描述。
如这里所用,存储装置包括磁盘驱动器、固态硬盘、存储器设备、以及需要异步验证测试的其他设备。磁盘驱动器通常是非易失性存储装置,其在迅速旋转的带有磁面的磁盘片(platter)上存储数字编码数据。固态硬盘(SSD)是使用固态存储器来存储持久性数据的数据存储装置。使用SRAM或者DRAM(而不是闪存)的SSD通常称为RAM驱动器。术语固态通常将固态电子设备与机电设备分开。
参考图1-3,在一些实施例中,存储装置测试系统100包括至少一个自动输送器200(例如,机械臂、龙门架系统、或者多轴线性致动器)限定的第一轴205(见图3),其基本垂直于地板表面10。在所示的实例中,自动输送器200包括机械臂200,可操作性地围绕第一轴205通过预定弧进行旋转,并且可操作性地从第一轴205径向延伸。机械臂200可操作性地围绕第一轴205进行360°旋转,并且包括置于机械臂200末端(distal end)的机械手700,用来搬运一个或者更多存储装置500和/或用于操控存储装置输送器550装载存储装置500(例如,见图5-6)。多个支架300布置在机械臂200周围,用于通过机械臂200操作。每个支架300都放置有多个测试槽310,测试槽310配置为容纳用于测试存储装置500。机械臂200限定出基本上是圆柱形的工作包络体积(working envelope volume)210,支架300置于工作包络体积210之内,使得机械臂200能够到达每个测试槽,从而进行操作。基本上是圆柱形的工作包络体积210提供了紧凑的占地面积(compact footprint),并且通常只通过高度限定而在容量上进行限制。在一些实例中,机械臂200支撑在地板表面10上的底座或者升降机250上并且通过该底座或者升降机250而被升高。底座或者升降机250使得机械臂200能够不仅向上伸(reach)而且向下伸以操作测试槽310,而增加了工作包络体积210的大小。工作包络体积210的大小可以通过将垂直致动器(vertical actuator)添加至底座或者升降机250而进一步增加。
自动输送器200(例如,机械臂)配置为独立地操作每个测试槽310,以提供通过测试系统100的存储装置500的连续流。单个存储装置300通过测试系统100的连续流使得对于每个存储装置500能够随时开始和停止,而需要成批存储装置500同时全部运行的其他系统由于全部存储装置必须加载测试而都具有相同的开始时间和结束时间。因此,利用连续流,不同容量的存储装置500可以同时运行,并且按照需要进行操作(装载/卸下)。
参考图3-4,存储装置测试系统100包括转运站400,转运站400配置为将存储装置500批量输送到自动输送器200(例如,所示机械臂)。该自动输送器200通过将存储装置500在转运站400和测试槽310之间进行传送,从而独立地操作每个测试槽310。该转运站400放置有一个或者更多载有多个存储装置500的搬运箱(tote)600,自动输送器200操作存储装置。该转运站400是用于将存储装置500传送到存储装置测试系统100并且将其从存储装置测试系统100取回的操作点(service point)。搬运箱600使得操作人员能够将多个存储装置500传送到转运站400并且将其从转运站400取回。在图3所示的实例中,每个搬运箱600都能够被设置位置上的相应搬运箱设置支撑系统420到达,并且可以设计为源点搬运箱600,用于供应进行测试的多个存储装置500,或者设计为终点搬运箱600,用于接收经过测试的存储器设备500(或者两者兼有)。终点搬运箱600可以分为“通过的返回搬运箱”或者“失败的返回搬运箱”,分别用来接收通过功能性测试或者没有通过功能性测试的相应存储装置500。
在将存储装置输送器550用于控制存储装置500的实施例中,如图4所示,自动输送器200配置为利用机械手700将存储装置输送器550从测试槽310之一中移除,接着利用存储装置输送器550从设置于转运站400的搬运箱600之一获取存储装置500,接着将其中带有存储装置500的存储装置输送器550返回到测试槽310,来测试存储装置500。在测试之后,通过将载有经过测试的存储装置500的存储装置输送器550从测试槽310中移除(即,利用机械手700),将在存储装置输送器550中经过测试的存储装置500装载到转运站400,并且控制存储装置输送器550以将经过测试的存储装置500返回到转运站400上的搬运箱600之一中,从而,自动输送器200从测试槽310取回经过测试的存储装置500。
如图4所示,在测试槽310中限定开口312,用于容纳存储装置输送器550,在这种情况下,存储装置输送器550将测试槽310封闭起来。存储装置输送器550配置为容纳存储装置500,如图5所示,并且被自动输送器200控制。在使用中,利用机械臂200将存储装置输送器550之一从测试槽310之一中移除(例如,利用机械臂200的机械手700,通过抓取、或者接合(engaging)存储装置输送器550的缺口552)。在一些实例中,如图5-7所示,存储装置输送器550包括框架560,框架560通过侧壁562、564和底板566基本上限定出U型开口561,该侧壁562、564和底板566共同使得框架560围绕搬运箱600中的存储装置支撑件(未示出)配合,从而使得存储装置输送器550可以被移动(例如,通过机械臂200)到存储装置500之一下方的位置,而该存储装置500放置在由搬运箱600限定出的多个存储装置容器620中(例如,见图8-9)。接着,存储装置输送器550可以被升高(例如,通过机械臂200)到与存储装置500相接合的位置中,用于将存储装置从搬运箱600中移除。
当存储装置500处于存储装置输送器550的框架560中的适当位置时,存储装置输送器550和存储装置500可以通过机械臂200被一同移动到测试槽310之一中的位置上,如图4所示。在一些实施例中,机械手700也可以配置为开始致动(initiate actuation)置于存储装置输送器550的夹紧机构570。这样使得输送器550从搬运箱600移动到测试槽310之前就能够致动夹紧机构570,从而防止在移动过程中存储装置500与存储装置输送器550产生相对运动。在插入测试槽310之前,机械手700可以再一次致动夹紧机构570,以松开框架560中的存储装置500。这样使得存储装置输送器550能够插入到测试槽310之一中,直到存储装置500处于存储装置连接器510与测试槽连接器(未示出)相接合的测试位置上。夹紧机构570还可以配置为接合测试槽310,一旦存储装置输送器550被容纳到测试槽310中,可以防止存储装置输送器550与测试槽310产生相对运动。在这些实施例中,一旦存储装置500处于测试位置,夹紧机构570再一次被接合(例如,通过机械手700),以防止存储装置输送器550与测试槽310产生相对运动。以这种方式将输送器550夹紧有助于在测试过程中减少震动。在一些实例中,在插入之后,存储装置输送器550和其中装载的存储装置500一起或者单个被夹紧或者扣紧在测试槽310中。
参考图8-11,机械手700被固定到机器臂200的末端202。机械手700包括置于机械手本体710上且布置成相互之间基本呈V字形的第一臂720和第二臂730。在一些实施例中,臂720、730可以以其他布置方式配置,比如相互之间呈180度角或者呈180度之间的其他角度。臂720、730每个都具有连接器740,该连接器740配置为可释放地连接到存储装置输送器550。在所示的实例中,每个连接器740都包括第一凸舌742和第二凸舌744,该第一凸舌742和第二凸舌744与置于臂720、730上的凸舌致动器750相对连接。凸舌致动器750可操作性地以相反方向移动与其相连接的凸舌742、744,以可释放地接合并且保持存储装置输送器550。为了抓取存储装置输送器550,机械臂200和机械手700被致动以调动连接器740之一,从而将凸舌742、744置于存储装置输送器550的缺口552中,接着,致动凸舌致动器750以将凸舌742、744相互移开并且与缺口552相接合,从而可释放地连接至存储装置输送器550。在一些实例中,凸舌742、744呈钩形和/或具有摩擦垫,以接合存储装置输送器550的缺口552。机械手700的每个臂720、730都具有第一夹紧致动器762和第二夹紧致动器764,该第一夹紧致动器762和第二夹紧致动器764配置为接合存储装置输送器550的夹紧机构570。夹紧致动器762、764可以被可操作地推到或者拉到夹紧机构570上,以接合/脱离夹紧机构570。
在图12-13所示的一些实例中,搬运箱600包括搬运箱本体610,搬运箱本体610具有前侧611、后侧612、顶侧613、底侧614、右侧615和左侧616。搬运箱本体610在后侧611中限定了多个存储装置容器620,该多个存储装置容器620中的每个都配置为放置存储装置500。在一些实例中,在装载位置中,搬运箱600设置在其后侧612上,从而使得存储装置容器620基本上是垂直的并且面朝上,如图12中所示。在其他实例中,在装载位置,搬运箱600保持在另一方向上,比如在倾斜方向上或者在垂直方向上,在设置位置上也一样。在设置位置中,搬运箱600设置在其底侧614上,使得存储装置容器620基本上是水平的并且面朝侧面,如图13所示。搬运箱本体610在其右侧615、左侧616中限定了臂沟槽630,臂沟槽630配置为支撑搬运箱600。
在所示的实例中,每个存储装置容器620都包括存储装置支撑件622,存储装置支撑件622配置为支撑所容纳的存储装置500的中间部分502(见图7),以允许存储装置500沿着非中间部分进行操纵。在一些实施例中,当搬运箱600处于基本垂直的方向上时,存储装置支撑622配置为以倾斜方向支撑存储装置500,从而使得存储装置500趋向于滑动到存储装置容器620更深的地方,而不会从存储装置容器620中滑出来。为了将放置的存储装置500从存储装置容器620移除,将存储装置输送器550置于存储装置容器620中的存储装置500下方(例如,通过机械臂200),并且将存储装置输送器550升高以将存储装置500从存储装置支撑件622卸下。接着,在存储装置输送器550载有存储装置500以将其传送到目的地(比如测试槽310)同时,存储装置输送器550从存储装置容器620中移除。
参考图14,在一些实施例中,转运站400包括转运站壳体410和多个置于转运站壳体410上的搬运箱设置支撑系统420。每个搬运箱设置支撑系统420都配置为在设置位置中容纳并且支撑存储装置搬运箱600,用以通过存储装置测试系统100进行操作。
在一些实施例中,每个搬运箱设置支撑系统420都置于转运站壳体410的同一侧上,并且相互垂直布置。每个搬运箱设置支撑系统420相对于其他搬运箱设置支撑系统具有不同高度。在一些实例中,如图15所示,搬运箱设置支撑系统420包括搬运箱支撑臂426的相对的第一对422,相对的第二对424,该相对的第一对和相对的第二对配置成被相应臂沟槽630容纳,该臂沟槽630由存储装置搬运箱600的搬运箱本体610限定。
再次参考图14,搬运箱推进器430置于转运站壳体410上,并且配置为移动枢轴连接的搬运箱装载支撑件440,该搬运箱装载支撑件440配置为容纳并且支撑存储装置搬运箱600。搬运箱装载支撑件440在第一位置和第二位置之间枢轴转动并且移动。搬运箱推进器430配置为在第一位置和第二位置之间移动搬运箱装载支撑件440,第一位置用于将存储装置搬运箱600保持在装载位置(例如,在装载支撑件的第一位置的水平方向),第二位置用于将存储装置搬运箱600保持在搬运箱设置支撑系统420之一的设置位置(例如,在基本垂直的方向上)以通过存储装置测试系统100进行操作(例如,通过机械臂200)。在一些实例中,搬运箱设置支撑系统420将搬运箱600保持在略微倾斜的(例如,不垂直)方向,以防止存储装置500意外从搬运箱600中滑落出来。
一种实施存储装置测试的方法,包括:将多个存储装置500设置到存储装置测试系统100用于测试,以及致动自动输送器200(例如,机械臂),以将一个存储装置500从存储装置搬运箱600中取回,并且将取回的存储装置500传送到存储装置测试系统100的支架300的测试槽310。该方法包括致动自动输送器200,以将存储装置500插入到测试槽310中,并且对于测试槽310容纳的存储装置500实施功能性测试。该方法还可以包括:致动自动输送器200,以将经过测试的存储装置500从测试槽310中取回,并且将经过测试的存储装置500传送回目的位置。在一些实施例中,该方法包括:将多个设置的存储装置500取回并且将每个存储装置传送给相应测试槽310。在其他实施例中,该方法包括:通过以下步骤将测试槽310中的存储装置500交换位置:致动自动输送器200以将第一存储装置500从第一测试槽310移除,并且通过第一机械手插接器720对其进行装载,移动到第二测试槽310,以及将第二测试设备500移除,并且通过第二机械手插接器730对其进行装载,接着将第一存储装置500插入到第二测试槽310中。该方法还包括:致动自动输送器200,以将第二存储装置移动到第一测试槽310,并且将第二存储装置500插入到第一测试槽310中。对于这种操作模式(存储装置改变位置),双臂机械手700允许存储装置500在每次停止时进行直接交换,而不必将存储装置500从第一测试槽310中移除,将该存储装置500暂放入空槽310中或者搬运箱600中,将另一存储装置500从第二槽310中取回,以及将该存储装置500插入第一测试槽310中,并且接着取回暂放的存储装置500并将其插入到第二测试槽310中,这样,双臂机械手700就比单臂机械手具有明显的优势。双臂机械手700除去了在两个测试槽310之间交换存储装置500的过程中,暂放存储装置500之一的步骤。
为了测试而设置多个存储装置500可以通过以下步骤实现:将多个存储装置500装载到转运站400上/中,或者通过将存储装置500装载由搬运箱600限定的存储装置容器620中并且将存储装置搬运箱600装载到转运站400上/中。致动转运站400的搬运箱推进器430,以将存储装置搬运箱600从装载位置移动到设置位置,用以通过存储装置测试系统100进行操作。存储装置搬运箱600通过置于转运站壳体410上的多个搬运箱设置支撑系统420之一而被支撑在设置位置中,并且相互垂直布置。每个都放置有存储装置500的多个存储装置搬运箱600都可以顺序地被置于转运站400上的装载位置,并且通过搬运箱推进器430而被移动到多个搬运箱设置支撑系统420之一处的其相应设置位置,用以通过存储装置测试系统100进行操作。
在将一个或者更多用于测试的存储装置500取回的过程中,该方法优选地包括:致动自动输送器200以取回一个存储装置输送器550(例如,从位于支架300中的测试槽310)并且致动自动输送器200以从转运站400取回一个存储装置500,并且将存储装置500装载到存储装置输送器550中。该方法包括致动自动输送器200以将装载存储装置500的存储装置输送器550传送给测试槽310,用于对所容纳的存储装置输送器550和测试槽310所放置的存储装置500实施功能性测试。在一些实例中,将存储装置输送器550传送到测试槽310包括:将装载有存储装置500的存储装置输送器550插入到支架300中的测试槽310中,在存储装置500和支架300之间建立电连接。在存储装置500的测试完成之后,该方法包括:致动自动输送器200以将装载有存储装置500的存储装置输送器550从测试槽310取回,并且将经过测试的存储装置500传送回目的位置,比如转运站400上的目的存储装置搬运箱600。在一些实施例中,如果测试槽310被提供有不同的测试类型,则支架300和两个或者更多相关的测试槽310配置为将存储装置500从一个测试槽310在内部移动到另一测试槽。
在一些实例中,该方法包括在将经过测试的存储装置500放置在目的位置(例如,在目的存储装置搬运箱600的存储装置容器620中)之后,或者通过取回用于测试的另一存储装置500(例如,从目的存储装置搬运箱600的存储装置容器620中)而重复该方法之后,致动自动输送器200,以将存储装置输送器550放置在测试槽310中。
在一些实施例中,自动输送器200包括如上所述的机械手700,该机械手700取回、操控以及传送多个存储装置500和/或存储装置输送器550。例如,自动输送器200可以将由机械手700的一个臂720、730保持的一个未测试的存储装置500取回且装载到存储装置输送器550中,并将未测试的存储装置500传送到测试槽310。在测试槽310中,在将装载有未测试的存储装置500的存储装置输送器550插入到测试槽310中用以测试之前,将当前在测试槽310中载有经过测试的存储装置500的存储装置输送器550移除。接着,自动输送器200将经过测试的存储装置500传送到目的位置,比如目的存储装置搬运箱600的存储装置容器620。在另一个实例中,自动输送器200可以将两个未测试的存储装置500之一取回且装载到机械手700的每个臂720、730上,接着,将该两个未测试的存储装置500传送到相应测试槽310用以测试。接着,自动输送器550可以被致动,以将两个未测试的存储装置500从其相应槽310中取回(例如,通过将其相应存储装置输送器550与机械手700接合并且移除),以及将经过测试的存储装置500传送到目的位置,比如一个或者更多目的存储装置搬运箱600的两个存储装置容器620。如果一个经过测试的存储装置500通过了存储装置测试,而另外的经过测试的存储装置500未通过测试,则这些存储装置500被置于不同的目的存储装置搬运箱600中,比如“通过的”存储装置搬运箱600和“未通过的”存储装置搬运箱600。
相比于之前通过每次仅能够操控一个存储装置500和/或存储装置输送器550的机械手所能完成的任务,机械手700使得自动输送器200能够将多个存储装置500和/或存储装置输送器550移动到存储装置测试系统100中,从而能够完成更多的任务。自动输送器200的路径规划(path planning)所增加的灵活性能够使自动输送器移动方式最优化。
已经描述了多个实施例。然而,可以理解,在不背离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可以进行多种改变。因此,在下面的权利要求的范围内,还可以有其他实施例。
