However, the terminal device with the foldable display screen is not mature in technology, and unstable performance is easy to occur, so that a large number of tests are required to be performed on the terminal device, especially tests under different folding states.

To this end, the present disclosure provides a test system. FIG. 1 is a first diagram illustrating a test system architecture according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the test system includes: the device comprises a main control device, a controller, a driver and a folding assembly;

For example, it is necessary to determine which terminal is to be subjected to a folding operation, determine which controller is to control which operation is performed, and control which folding operation the terminal is to be specifically subjected to, what folding state the terminal is finally in, and the like.

The main control equipment can generate specific operation information according to the input operation of the interactive interface. The input operation may be a test instruction for starting or stopping the test, or may be specific test content for which terminal is specifically set, for example, inputting a stability test on the terminal a for the number of folding times B. The specific input parameters may include test targets: terminal a, folding parameters: folding times B, test contents: stability testing, and the like. The operation information may be used to indicate folding information indicating a specific situation of the folded terminal when the terminal is tested. According to the input operation, the generated operation information at least comprises: the identifier ID of the terminal a indicates folding information such as the number of times of folding B. Wherein the folding information is usable to determine at least one of: number of folds, angle and/or direction of folds, time interval between two adjacent folds, etc. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the operation information may be automatically generated into corresponding operation information based on the input parameters in combination with the test configuration file in the input operation of the interactive interface. The test configuration file at least comprises equipment identification IDs corresponding to all the terminals.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control interface may be various program interfaces, and the control interface at least can be used for communication between the main control device and the controller, and drives the controller to control the driver to complete the folding operation of the folding assembly on the terminal.

The operation instruction generated by the controller may be a hexadecimal control instruction, which is specifically embodied as hexadecimal issued data. And the driver drives the folding assembly to complete the folding operation of the terminal equipment according to the received operation instruction.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the driving signal output by the driver to the folding assembly may be a high-low level signal, which is directly output to the folding assembly to control the folding operation of the folding assembly to the terminal. For example, the folding assembly may include a motor, and the motor is controlled to rotate by a high-low level signal, so as to drive an included angle connected with the motor to complete the folding operation of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can be fixed on the folding assembly, and the folding screen of the terminal can be folded. When the terminal is in a folded state (namely, the folded state determined by the input operation of the interactive interface) meeting the test requirements on the folding assembly, the test system performs performance test on the terminal to acquire performance data of the terminal in the current folded state.

The operation information in the test system provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is used for indicating the specific folding state that the terminal needs to meet when the terminal is tested. The operation information related to the folding state meeting the testing requirements of the terminal is sent to the controller through the control interface, and the controller generates a specific operation instruction to indicate the folding assembly to perform related folding operation on the terminal, so that the terminal is in the folding state meeting the testing requirements.

In some embodiments, the control interface comprises:

the driving interface is used for being connected with the controller;

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control interface may be composed of two parts, including a driving interface connected with the controller for driving the controller, and a secondary packaging interface capable of communicating with the driving interface.

In some embodiments, the secondary packaging interface may include one or more application program interfaces, and different secondary packaging interfaces may call the controller to send operation information to a driver of the folding component through the same driving interface between the main control device and the controller.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the secondary sealing interface may be packaged with operation logic such as a specific operation mode or a step for specifically controlling the controller. For example, the port number of the single chip microcomputer is obtained, the connection state of the single chip microcomputer is determined, whether the connection is successful or not is determined, the port is closed after the test is finished, and the like. The main control device directly calls the packaged operation logics to directly establish connection with a controller to be controlled through a driving interface, and the driving controller completes operation instruction generation.

For example, when the operation information is to implement the number of times of folding the terminal, an operation logic for loading a port number of a controller corresponding to the terminal, an operation logic for establishing connection with the controller, an operation logic for shutting down a port of the controller after the number of times of folding is completed, and the like, and an operation logic for acquiring operation data in an operation process, and the like, may be encapsulated in the secondary encapsulation port. The main control equipment can execute relevant operation logic by directly calling the secondary packaging interface to finish the operation.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the driving interface is an interface for directly driving the controller to perform data processing, the controller can analyze the received operation information under the driving of the driving interface, generate an operation instruction, and issue the operation instruction to the connected driver, so as to control the driver to complete the control operation on the folding assembly. For example, when the controller is a single chip microcomputer, the driving interface can drive the controller to issue an operation instruction to the driver through the I/O pin.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the secondary packaging interface may communicate with the driving interface, the main control device establishes communication with the controller through the secondary packaging interface and the driving interface, and sends the operation information to the controller for the controller to analyze, and generates an operation instruction for completing the terminal folding state indicated by the operation information. The operation instruction may be a hexadecimal control instruction, and is specifically embodied as hexadecimal issued data.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the communication between the main control device and the controller is realized through the communication connection between the secondary packaging interface and the driving interface, so that the main control device can conveniently send the operation information to the controller which needs to perform control operation. Meanwhile, after the operation information is generated, the secondary packaging interface can be directly called to complete subsequent logic operation according to the folding operation required to be completed by the operation information due to the existence of the secondary packaging interface, and the driving interface is called to send the operation information. Meanwhile, when other systems need to control the controller to control the folding assembly, the secondary packaging interface can be directly called to execute relevant logic operation, and therefore the testing efficiency of the whole system can be improved.

a port number of the controller;

folding parameters; wherein the folding parameters include at least one of: the number of folds, the angle of the folds, and the time interval between two adjacent folds.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when testing the terminal as an instruction, the operation information of the specific folding state that the terminal needs to satisfy at least includes: port number of the controller; determining folding parameters of the terminal folding state, and the like. The port number of the controller included in the operation information at least includes the port number of the controller to be generated with the operation instruction, so that the main control device can establish a connection with the controller according to the port number of the controller in the operation information, and further instruct the controller to generate the operation instruction.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the folding times in the folding parameters refer to times of a folding process from closing to unfolding of a folding screen of the terminal device. That is, the folding times are one time when the folding is performed once from the closing to the unfolding, and the folding times are two times when the folding is performed again. The folding angle is the angle of a folding included angle between a first screen area and a second screen area in the folding screen. Fully closed is 0 degrees and fully open is 180 degrees. The interval time between two adjacent folds is the time between the completion of the first fold and the completion of the second fold. A fold completion may be understood as a completion of a test task. The first fold is completed based on the first test task. And after the first test task is finished, performing a second test task and performing second folding.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the folding terminal is specifically folded by the folding assembly, the folding terminal is mounted on the folding assembly. Each of the folder terminals has a corresponding identification ID. When the controller is needed to control which folding terminal is to be folded, the identification ID corresponding to the folding terminal can be written in the operation information. The controller can determine the driver which needs to send the operation instruction according to the identification ID of the folded terminal, and determine the folding state of the folded terminal through the folding parameters, thereby generating the specific operation instruction which is identified by the driver. The driver controls the folding component to complete the folding operation according to the operation instruction. For example, when the controller is a single chip microcomputer, the driver controls the motor of the folding assembly, and at this time, the folding parameter is a folding angle (for example, an angle between folding screens of the folding terminal is 30 degrees), the controller generates an operation instruction on how to specifically implement the folding angle being 30 degrees, for example, the motor is controlled to turn left by N steps, so that the folding angle of the folding screen driven by the folding assembly is 30 degrees. The driver controls the motor to perform a left-turn N steps to make the folding angle of the folding screen 30 degrees.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the folding state required by the terminal to complete the test can be directly determined through the operation information, so that the subsequent folding operation on the terminal is facilitated, and the test requirement is met.

the clamp is used for clamping a folding screen of the terminal;

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the folding assembly for folding the terminal device may include a motor and a clamp rotationally connected to the motor. The clamp is used for clamping a folded screen of the terminal. When the motor rotates, the clamp can be driven to rotate, and therefore the screen fixed on the clamp is driven to be folded. The specific folding angle and number of folds can be controlled based on rotational control of the motor. Meanwhile, the rotation angle of the motor can be directly and accurately controlled through the driver, and compared with manual bending, the terminal device is beneficial to saving manpower resources and realizing accurate control on folding of the terminal device.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the clamp specifically used for folding the terminal screen may include a first clamp and a second clamp, and the first clamp may rotate relative to the second clamp. When the foldable screen is applied, the first clamp fixes a first screen area of the foldable screen, and the second clamp fixes a second screen area of the foldable screen. The first clamp can be fixed on the platform, the motor can drive the second clamp to rotate relative to the first clamp so as to bend the second screen region relative to the first screen region, the clamp is driven to rotate through the motor to realize screen bending, manpower resource saving is facilitated, and accurate control over terminal equipment folding is facilitated.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the,

the motor is a stepping motor;

wherein the operating phase of the stepper motor comprises:

the initial stage, the rotational speed of the said stepping motor accelerates to the stage of the preset rotational speed;

In the disclosed embodiment, the motor in the folding assembly may be a stepper motor. The process of folding the terminal by driving the clamp by the motor can be divided into three stages, including an initial stage, a constant speed stage and a termination stage. The initial stage is the process that the motor starts to rotate from a static state to a constant speed state. The termination stage is the process that the motor is continuously decelerated from a constant speed state to stop rotating. In the uniform speed stage, the motor can rotate at a constant speed with a preset rotating speed. The specific speed of the preset rotating speed can be set according to specific needs, for example, if the motor is required to rotate faster, the preset rotating speed can be set to be larger. The motor rotation process is divided into different stages, so that the motor rotation control is facilitated. The reasonable planning of the three stages and the rotating speeds of the stages is beneficial to better finishing the folding operation of the terminal equipment and the protection of the folding screen. For example, rotating too fast may cause damage to the folded screen, etc.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the,

the driving signal of the stepping motor is a pulse signal;

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the controller is a single chip microcomputer, when the single chip microcomputer is set to cyclically set a high level and a low level, a delay time is added between the high level and the low level to control the power-on frequency in a unit time, so as to ensure that the motor rotates at the maximum stepping speed in a uniform speed state while not losing steps. The delay time at the maximum stepping speed of the motor in the self-set constant speed state can be taken as Sy, and the delay time between circulating high and low level power-on signals can be counted as S. In the uniform speed stage, the pulse frequency of the first pulse signal formed by the delay time Sy is the first frequency. The driver outputs a first pulse signal of a first frequency to the motor.

In the initial stage, starting to a uniform speed process: setting the maximum delay time S1 corresponding to the minimum stepping speed (corresponding to the first step length) as initial pulse delay time, and setting a time reduction constant Sb (a delay value with the first step length decreasing), wherein the delay time S is initially S1 when starting, and S = S-Sb processing is carried out on the delay time after high and low level electrifying signals are given each time until S = Sy, and then uniform rotation is carried out by the delay of Sy.

In the termination stage, the process from uniform speed to stop is as follows: setting the maximum delay time S1 corresponding to the minimum stepping speed (corresponding to the second step length) as the delay time of the termination pulse, setting a time-adding constant Sb (a delay value with the second step length increasing), wherein when the delay time S is terminated, the delay time S is initially Sy, and after a high-low level power-on signal is given each time, processing S = S + Sb is carried out on the delay time until the light-sensitive potential signal changes, and the rotation is stopped.

Through reasonable time delay setting, the motor can be controlled to operate at a fixed acceleration or deceleration in the initial stage and the final stage, so that the control of the rotating speed of the motor is facilitated, and the time consumed from starting to constant speed and from constant speed to termination is reduced as much as possible.

In the embodiment disclosed by the disclosure, a pulse circuit and a delay circuit are built in the driver. The pulse circuit is used for outputting a pulse signal. The pulse circuit and the delay circuit are matched with each other and can be used for outputting pulse signals with delay characteristics so as to realize the generation of pulse signals of three frequencies. The pulse circuit and the delay circuit are matched to output pulse signals with different frequencies in a time-sharing mode, and compared with the mode that a plurality of pulse circuits are adopted to independently output pulse signals with different frequencies, the pulse frequency adjusting device has better flexibility in the aspect of adjusting the pulse frequency, only software is needed to adjust delay parameters, and meanwhile, the pulse frequency adjusting device is beneficial to reducing circuit modules in hardware and reducing power consumption of a driver.

In some embodiments, a plurality of said controllers are connected to one said master device at the same time;

the main control device is further configured to instruct, through the control interface, the plurality of controllers to simultaneously generate an operation instruction for executing different operation information.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the test system, the main control device may be connected to a plurality of controllers, and send the operation information to the plurality of controllers through the control interface. When the operation information is different, the controller can be simultaneously indicated to generate corresponding different operation instructions so as to control different folding assemblies to carry out different folding operations, thereby being beneficial to realizing the simultaneous execution of different test tasks of a plurality of terminals and being beneficial to the asynchronous management of a plurality of controllers.

In the disclosed embodiment, one controller can be connected with a plurality of drivers simultaneously, and one driver drives one folding component to fold the terminal. Under one controller, the operation instructions can be issued to a plurality of drivers simultaneously, so that the unified test task can be performed on a plurality of terminals simultaneously. Meanwhile, in combination with a plurality of controllers, each controller controls a plurality of drivers, and each driver is connected with one folding assembly, so that integrated control of a large number of folding assemblies can be formed.

In this embodiment, the operation instruction issued by the controller to the driver may be used to control the rotation direction of the motor and/or the rotation speed of the motor in the folding assembly, and the rotation time, so that the driver issues a driving signal to the folding assembly to implement the rotation direction, the rotation speed, and the rotation time under the control of the operation instruction, thereby completing the bending control of the terminal device.
