Invention field
The present invention relates to the test equipments of electronic building brick, more specifically to a kind of relay contact analog control system automatically configured
Instrument.
Background of invention
Relay is the mechanical device used in a plurality of types of equipment, automobile etc., makes low-power level signal can be with
Control relatively large power termination.For example, controlling preceding circuit for lamp usually using relay in automobile circuit.By automobile
The lamp switch of driver's operation is connected to the input or coil sides of relay.The input side is needed from the opposite of light switch circuit
A small amount of power.When head light switch is switched on position, power supply is applied to coil, and the longitudinal axis of coiling is caused to generate magnetic field
The ferrous metal pole piece for attracting relay outlet side in turn, leads to contact variable condition, this leads to headlight closing of circuit, thus
It powers to the preceding circuit for lamp of relative high powers.In fact, the relatively small power control transmitting drawn from preceding light switch circuit
To the relatively high power of headlamp circuit.It is such to be configured to entire industry and equipment, automobile, tool, automation equipment
All different types of electrical/electronics controls in and the substantially any equipment for needing certain type of mid power control.
Each electrically or electronically circuit comprising relay can generate test problem to determine failure cause, especially work as
When faulted circuit belongs to the type of automobile, so that can not access can examine when circuit is in operation or " electrification " state
The test point looked into.All relay circuits are made of control (coil) and load-side.All relays all include one by controlling
The coil of circuit power supply processed, the control circuit make at least one mechanical contact of relay operation again, keep the load circuit of connection logical
It crosses the operation of mechanical contact and is powered or powers off.When such circuit when something goes wrong, it is necessary to check in circuit different
The voltage and current of position, the reason of to determine problem.If there is the test point being readily accessible in circuit by chance, can be used
Voltmeter and ammeter (digital multimeter-DMM) carry out the electricity of display circuit.It is using the shortcomings that DMM time-consuming and special
It is difficult to obtain current reading in alive circuit.DMM also can not automatic measurement relay, to determine whether relay itself has
The reason of failure and fault.
There is the relay tester for executing auto-relay test currently on the market.My " Relay BuddyTM", the U.S.
The patent No. 9423462 is exactly best example.The present invention is the improvement to such device, because in measured relay
(RUT) interface is produced between relay tester itself.
Relay tester currently on the market all includes some general-purpose relay sockets, therefore RUT can simply be put
Enter in socket appropriate, so that the electric component of RUT to be exposed in relay tester to the appropriate location for testing circuit.For
The relay tester of these types, it is desirable that RUT can be fitted into particular relay socket to be tested.Relay BuddyTMMark
With 3 kinds of certain types of relay sockets or testable terminal layout " footprint ".Relay BuddyTMAlso have other relays
Device footprint adapter can test the relay of other several types by the way that RUT terminal to be aligned with correct test jack terminal
Device.The all objects of prior-art devices all include a fixed device or multiple fixed devices, with allow RUT with it is controlled,
Known and repeatable method is connected to relay tester.
This is the real limitation of this current relay tester.The relay that can be tested is only can be with test
The adapter that the footprint appropriate that instrument provides matches or they are necessary to allow for relay to be suitble to properly terminated position.
All relays all include a coil, which is powered to generate magnetic field, this pulls the electricity of relay switch again
Pivot or pole piece are mobile, close or open so as to cause electrical connection.When the power supply removal for relay power, magnetic field will lose
It loses and armature will return to its home position under certain type of spring force, and generate initial " power-off " or " normal " again
Electrical connection state.Therefore, all relays all include coil sides and switch-side.The relay of most of Hyundai Motor types
All comprising one common " footprint ", this is put into the component of relay no matter when in circuit can correctly and repeatably
Positioning.It the use of the automobile of relay and most of other equipment include " socket ", this allows relay to have usually and suitably matches
The tie point set enters circuit.
In addition, all relays all include coil and switch, but there are many that different types of for exposing relay
" footprint " or the configuration of a little common assemblies.The magnitude of current according to relay design for processing, it may be opened comprising exposed circuits
Close the relatively large terminal of side.Some relays designed for being loaded beyond 100 amperes, which usually have, uses big circle
The switch of screw terminal connects.
The not stringent wiring standard of modern relay causes terminal name/size to become common known location or function
Energy.For success busy relay, it is necessary to there is an adapter, relay terminal appropriate is made to be connected correctly to tester, with
Just tester knows which which terminal is.
Therefore, it is necessary to the relay test-devices that one kind can be quickly connected to relay, without knowing relay
What each terminal is.Required invention will have easy to use and intuitive control, and can quickly test 4- terminal or
5- final impulse optor program provides clear indication when such relay successfully passes or does not pass through test.The present invention is opposite to be held
