The present invention further provides a control method, as shown in fig. 7, where the control scheme is applied to the test equipment in the foregoing embodiment, and defines two cache modules 21 of the test equipment in the foregoing embodiment as a first cache module and a second cache module, respectively, as shown in fig. 7, the control method includes:
step S10: the first transfer module 31 transfers the product tested in the first testing station 1a to the first buffer module, and the second transfer module 32 waits for the product to be placed.
In this embodiment, the first transfer module 31 preferentially transfers the products that have been tested in the first testing station 1a collectively to one cache module 21, and makes another cache module 21 enter a state waiting for loading; in this embodiment, the first transfer module 31 preferentially transfers products into the first buffer module, and the second transfer module 32 enters a waiting state when the first buffer module is loaded, so that enough products can be stored in the first buffer module for the second testing station 1b to perform the next level of testing.
Step S20: when the first buffer module is full, the second transfer module 32 transfers the product in the first buffer module to the second testing station 1b for testing.
In this embodiment, the first transfer module 31 continuously transfers the products that have been tested in the first test station 1a to the first buffer module, when the number of the products that can be accommodated by the first buffer module reaches the maximum upper limit, the first transfer module 31 stops transferring the products to the first buffer module, the first buffer module transfers the products to the second transfer module 32, the second transfer module 32 transfers the products transferred from the first buffer module to the second test station 1b for testing, and the testing links in the first test station 1a and the testing links in the second test station 1b start to be performed continuously.
Step S30: the first transfer module 31 transfers the product tested in the first testing station 1a to the second buffer module for the second transfer module 32 to take.
In this embodiment, since the first buffer module transmits the product to the second transfer module 32 and supplies the product to the second test station 1b, in order to ensure that the product completing the test link in the first test station 1a is supplied to the second test station 1b with the teasel root, the first transfer module 31 transfers the product completed through the test in the first test station 1a to the empty second buffer module, so that when the first buffer module is empty, the product in the second buffer module can be transferred to the second test station 1b through the second transfer module 32 for the next-level test, thereby avoiding the second test station 1b waiting for the product supply, ensuring the continuous operation of the test equipment, and improving the operation efficiency of the test equipment.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, when the first buffer module is full, the step of transferring the product in the first buffer module to the second testing station 1b for testing by the second transferring module 32 includes:
step S21: before the second transfer module 32 fetches the material to the first cache module each time, whether the material exists in the first cache module is judged; if the first cache module is full of materials, judging whether the second cache module is full of materials;
in this embodiment, when the first buffer module is full, that is, the first buffer module reaches the upper limit of the number of products, the first buffer module transmits the products therein to the second transfer module 32, the second transfer module 32 starts to transfer the products in the first buffer module to the second test station 1b for testing, the products in the first buffer module gradually decrease, and meanwhile, the first transfer module 31 transfers the products in the first test station 1a to the second buffer module, and the products in the second buffer module gradually increase. Therefore, when the second transfer module 32 needs to fetch a product into the first cache module each time, it is determined whether there is a material in the first cache module, that is, whether there is a product in the first cache module, and if there is no material in the first cache module, that is, there is no product in the first cache module, the second transfer module 32 does not execute the action of fetching the material into the first cache module, so as to avoid the second transfer module 32 from performing the invalidation operation. If there are still products available in the first cache module and the second cache module is full, the first transfer module 31 cannot transfer the products tested by the first testing station 1a to the second cache module, and thus it is necessary to determine whether the second cache module is full.
Step 22: if the second buffer module is full of materials, the second transfer module 32 transfers the products in the second buffer module to the second testing station 1b for testing, and the first transfer module 31 puts the products which are tested in the first testing station 1a into the first buffer module.
In this embodiment, although the first buffer module still has products available, since the second buffer module is full, that is, the second buffer module reaches the upper limit of the number of the accommodated products, the first transfer module 31 cannot transfer the products tested by the first testing station 1a into the second buffer module, which will cause the first transfer module 31 to enter the idle waiting state, therefore, in order to improve the utilization rate of the first transfer module 31 and ensure that products are continuously supplied to the second test station 1b in the future time, the second cache module transfers the products therein to the second transfer module 32, the second transfer module 32 stops taking the products from the first cache module and then takes the products from the second cache module, the second transfer module 32 supplies the taken products to the second test module for testing, and the first cache module resets to wait for the first transfer module 31 to be loaded.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, after the step of determining whether the second cache module is full of material, the method further includes:
step 23: if the second buffer module is not full, the second transfer module 32 transfers the product in the first buffer module to the second testing station 1b for testing, and the first transfer module 31 puts the product which is tested in the first testing station 1a into the second buffer module.
In this embodiment, the first buffer module supplies products to the second transfer module 32, and if there are products in the first buffer module and the second buffer module is not full, that is, the second buffer module does not reach the upper limit of the number of the accommodated products, in order to make neither the first transfer module 31 nor the second transfer module 32 idle, the utilization rates of the first transfer module 31 and the second transfer module 32 are increased, the blanking state of the first buffer module and the loading state of the second buffer module are maintained, the second transfer module 32 still transfers the products in the first buffer module to the second testing station 1b for testing, and the first transfer module 31 still transfers the products tested by the first testing station 1a to the second buffer module until the second buffer module is full or the first buffer module is empty.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, before the second transfer module 32 fetches a product from the first cache module each time, the step of determining whether there is a material in the first cache module further includes:
step 24: if the first cache module is empty, judging whether the second cache module is filled with materials; if the second buffer module is filled with materials, the second transfer module 32 transfers the products in the second buffer module to the second testing station 1b for testing, and the first transfer module 31 puts the products which are tested in the first testing station 1a into the first buffer module.
In this embodiment, the first cache module is prior to the second cache module for loading, the first cache module is full and supplies products to the second transfer module 32, when the first cache module is empty, it indicates that the second transfer module 32 can not fetch products from the first cache module 21, at this time, the second cache module is required to supply products to the second transfer module 32, and the products of the second cache module are derived from the products tested by the first testing station 1a, when the first cache module is empty, the first transfer module 31 may not transfer any products to the second cache module due to reasons such as product retest, and therefore, at this time, it is required to determine whether the second cache module is empty, that is, determine whether the second cache module is empty. If there is a product in the second buffer module, the product in the second buffer module can be supplied to the second transfer module 32 through the second buffer module, and the product in the second buffer module is transferred to the second test station 1b through the second transfer module 32 for testing, so that the continuous performance of the test link in the second test station 1b is ensured.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, after the step of determining whether there is material in the second cache module, the method further includes:
step 25: if the second buffer module is empty, the first transfer module 31 puts the product that has been tested in the first testing station 1a into the first buffer module.
In this embodiment, when an extreme situation is encountered, for example, the test link in the first test station 1a cannot be smoothly performed or the product retest and other situations occur repeatedly, the first test station 1a cannot smoothly output a test completion or a test qualified product, the first transfer module 31 may not transfer the tested product to the first buffer module or the second buffer module all the time, and therefore the situations that both the first buffer module and the second buffer module are empty materials occur, at this time, the first buffer module needs to return to the position of the first transfer module 31 to wait for loading, and meanwhile, the related operators of the test equipment can be prompted by the warning device in the test equipment to operate abnormally, so that the related operators can know the operation situation of the equipment in time, and the equipment can be overhauled and maintained in time.
It should be noted that the number of the products that are transferred out from the first testing station 1a by the first transfer module 31 a once may be greater than the number that is transferred into the second testing station 1b by the second transfer module 32 a once from the buffer module 21, so as to more easily maintain the continuous transportation of the products in the first testing ring station to the products in the second testing station 1b, which is beneficial to improving the operation efficiency of the testing apparatus. In addition, when the first buffer memory module and the second buffer memory module have enough space for storing products, or the testing links in the first testing station 1a and the second testing station 1b are smoothly performed, the situation that the first buffer memory module and the second buffer memory module are full of materials at the same time generally does not occur.
