Specifically, if the amplitude of the signal of the second test terminal 22 is detected to be greater than the first threshold, for example, when the amplitude of the test signal is aV, the first threshold may be 0.95aV, which indicates that a short circuit may occur between the second test terminal 22 and the first test terminal 21, i.e. a short circuit occurs in the circuit between the first end a1 and the second end a2 of the pressure sensing unit 10; if the amplitude of the signal of the second test terminal 22 is detected to be greater than or equal to the second threshold value and less than or equal to the first threshold value, for example, the second threshold value may be 0.5aV, the circuits of the first end a1 and the second end a2 of the pressure sensing unit 10 are normal; if the amplitude of the signal of the second test terminal 22 is detected to be greater than zero and smaller than the second threshold, it indicates that the circuit between the first end a1 and the second end a2 of the pressure sensing unit 10 is in a high impedance state; if the amplitude of the signal of the second test terminal 22 is detected to be zero, it is characterized that there is an open circuit in the electrical circuit between the first end A1 and the second end A2 of the pressure sensing cell 10. When detecting the signal of the third test terminal 23, if the amplitude of the signal of the third test terminal 23 is detected to be greater than the first threshold, it is characterized that the short circuit occurs in the circuit between the third test terminal 23 and the first test terminal 21, that is, the short circuit occurs in the circuit between the third terminal B1 and the first terminal a1 of the pressure sensing unit 10; if the amplitude of the signal of the third test terminal 23 is detected to be greater than or equal to the second threshold value and less than or equal to the first threshold value, the circuit characterizing the first end a1 and the third end B1 of the pressure sensing unit 10 is normal; if the amplitude of the signal of the third test terminal 23 is detected to be greater than zero and smaller than the second threshold, it indicates that the circuit between the first end a1 and the third end B1 of the pressure sensing unit 10 is in a high impedance state; if the amplitude of the signal of the third test terminal 23 is detected to be zero, there is an open circuit in the circuit characterizing the first terminal a1 and the third terminal B1 of the pressure sensing unit 10. When detecting the signal of the fourth test terminal 24, if the amplitude of the signal of the fourth test terminal 24 is detected to be greater than the first threshold, it is characterized that the short circuit occurs in the circuit between the fourth test terminal 24 and the first test terminal 21, that is, the short circuit occurs in the circuit between the fourth terminal B2 and the first terminal a1 of the pressure sensing unit 10; if the amplitude of the signal of the fourth test terminal 24 is detected to be greater than or equal to the second threshold value and less than or equal to the first threshold value, it is characterized that the circuits of the first end a1 and the fourth end B2 of the pressure sensing unit 10 are normal; if the amplitude of the signal of the fourth test terminal 24 is detected to be greater than zero and smaller than the second threshold, the circuit representing the first end a1 and the fourth end B2 of the pressure sensing unit 10 is in a high impedance state; if the amplitude of the signal of the fourth test terminal 24 is detected to be zero, an open circuit exists in the circuit characterizing the first terminal A1 and the fourth terminal B2 of the pressure sensing cell 10. The test of the 2 nd pressure sensing unit 10 can be performed at the stage t2, the test of the 3 rd pressure sensing unit 10 can be performed at the stage t3, and the test of the 4 th pressure sensing unit 10 can be performed at the stage t 4. That is, the trigger signal output next from the trigger signal output terminal of the scanning unit 31 controls the n first switch units 11 and the n second switch units 12 to be sequentially turned on, and controls the n pressure sensing units 10 to be sequentially connected to the test signal TX on the first test terminal 21. When the 1 st to ith first switch units 11 are turned on one by one and the 1 st to ith second switch units 12 are turned on, the detection of the 1 st to ith pressure sensing units 10 can be realized one by one. Wherein SS1 and SS2 may represent waveforms on the second test terminal 22, the third test terminal 23, or the fourth test terminal 24; wherein, the waveform of SS1 can indicate that the 1 st to 4 th pressure sensing units 10 are normal, the waveform of SS2 can indicate that the 1 st pressure sensing unit 10 is short-circuited, the 2 nd pressure sensing unit 10 is normal, and the circuit in the 3 rd pressure sensing unit 10 has a high impedance state,
there is an open circuit condition in the circuit in the 4 th pressure sensing cell 10.
In other embodiment modes of the embodiment of the present invention, whether the pressure sensing unit 10 is abnormal or not may also be determined by detecting the resistance value. For example, it is assumed that the resistance values of the first sensing resistor R1, the second sensing resistor R2, the third sensing resistor R3 and the fourth sensing resistor R4 are all R. The determination of the detection result can be made with reference to the following table,
wherein, the terminals 21-23 indicate that the resistance value between the first test terminal 21 and the third test terminal 23 is detected, if the resistance value between the two is 0, it indicates that the short circuit occurs in the circuit between the first test terminal 21 and the third test terminal 23, and if the short circuit does not occur in any of the second sensing resistor R2, the third sensing resistor R3 and the fourth sensing resistor R4, the first sensing resistor R1 is short-circuited; if the resistance value between the two is (2/3) R, the second sensing resistor R2, the third sensing resistor R3 or the fourth sensing resistor R4 is short-circuited. If the resistance value between the two is 3R, the first sensing resistor R1 is characterized to be open circuit. The terminals 21-24 represent the detection of the resistance value between the first test terminal 21 and the fourth test terminal 24. The terminals 21-22 represent the detection of the resistance value between the first test terminal 21 and the second test terminal 22.
