Description

Can control the mechanical type key device of electronic equipment switch automatically

(1) technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of mechanical type key device, is meant a kind of mechanical type key device that can control the electronic equipment switch automatically especially.

(2) background technology

General electronic products is before being sold to client, all must be through a series of degree test experiments of fine qualities (Quality Reliability Test), the feasible product of being sold to client, have good using character in use and guarantee term of life, for instance, computer screen is being packed shipment with before being sold to the client by factory, can penetrate brightness through test case such as cathode-ray tube (CRT), the display frame contrast, the display color saturation degree, the a series of testing process of image quality resolution or the like, when guaranteeing that this computer screen is used, can have clear and good demonstration image quality.

And concerning all electronic products, in the above-mentioned degree test experiments of fine qualities, must comprise a life experiment (Lifetime Test) at the corresponding electrical property state of product different qualities, to guarantee each product when real the use, the serviceable life of various corresponding electrical property state.

When generally electronic product being carried out above-mentioned life experiment, it is the control module that changes the electrical property state of this electronic product by available several computer programs, and one simultaneously with the recording module of this electronic product and this control module electrically connect, this electronic product is carried out the test in serviceable life of corresponding electrical property state, consult Fig. 1, CPU (central processing unit) 1 with general PC is an example, be to write several computer programs 21 earlier to make this control module 22 can constantly repeat to switch the electrical property state of this CPU (central processing unit) 1, make this CPU (central processing unit) 1 change to one second electrical property state 12 by one first electrical property state 11, change to first electrical property state 11 by this second electrical property state 12 again, so constantly conversion repeatedly is (herein for for the purpose of getting across, be the example explanation only) with two electrical property state, electrical property state function situation when simulating true use, when each electrical property state changes down with these recording module 23 records simultaneously, the change situation of the voltage of this CPU (central processing unit) 1 or resistance value, with this converse this CPU (central processing unit) 1 this first, two electrical property state 11, user mode feature during 12 conversion; For example this control module 22 can constantly repeat this CPU (central processing unit) 1 is connected and powered-down (power on/off), make this CPU (central processing unit) 1 constantly repeat to operate the operating mode of the calculating and the two kinds of electrical property state such as calculating that decommission, and by 23 records of this recording module down these CPU (central processing unit) 1 constantly repeat to switch action situation when carrying out these two kinds of operating modes, connection and powered-down situation when simulating real use, and can converse this CPU (central processing unit) 1 in the use situation of really carrying out this connection and powered-down situation, this CPU (central processing unit) 1 is connected and the warranty period limit of powered-down and can make.

In general, some does not need to change with gauge tap the electronic product of its electrical property state, the for example CPU (central processing unit) of computer, integrated chip group, integrated electronic component (IC) in the general household electrical appliances etc., when carrying out the life experiment of above-mentioned corresponding electrical property state, be can be according to the characteristic of this product, write several computer programs 21, with these computer programs 21 these control modules 22 of change and recording module 23 these electronic products are repeatedly switched its electrical property state, and note all data when testing; And this control module 22 is constantly repeatedly switched the process of its electrical property state to these electronic products, the situation in the time of also can fully simulating real use the, thereby conversion that can be correct and serviceable life of guaranteeing these electronic products.

But, need be to some with (even a plurality of) gauge tap or by key control or change the electronic product of its electrical property state, for example electrically connect or interruption (power on/off) with gauge tap controlling computer screen, or to control the electrical property state that button switches a CD-ROM drive, a CD casket (CD Tray) that makes this CD-ROM drive changes along with this electrical property state and mobile etc. between a release location and a stowed position, because the change of the electrical property state of these electronic products, be to carry out via the switching of this gauge tap or button, though in handoff procedure, only added the switch mode of the switching electrical property state of a switch or button, but it is actual concerning life experiment, because life experiment must be simulated the situation of true use, so picture touches the pressure size to this gauge tap or button, touch corresponding distance to this gauge tap or button, and touch to time of this gauge tap or button or the like, all must consider in detail and add this life experiment become record become because of, so could simulate these products truly and use situation really.

So, though can write several different computer programs 21 to change the pattern of this control module 22 and recording module 23, these electronic products are repeatedly switched its electrical property state, and note all data in when test, for example constantly repeat this computer screen is switched electric connection or interruption with this control module 22, or constantly repeat to switch electrical property state to this CD-ROM drive, this CD casket is released at this, move between stowed position, but because during with the switching of this control module 22 these electrical property state of control, it is the purpose that reaches the electrical property state change purely with the variation of voltage or electric current, and this computer screen is electrically connected or interruption, or the CD casket of CD-ROM drive is released at this, move between stowed position, and ignored these electronic products when real the use, touching when switching electrical property state with this gauge tap or button compresses the power size, touch to corresponding distance, and touch to the multinomial change of time or the like because of, thereby make the use situation that this recording module 23 is noted down, be not use situation that is virtually reality like reality, and lost the meaning of these electronic products being carried out the life experiment of corresponding electrical property state.

Though, can also use a large amount of artificial, expend a large amount of production test costs, manually to carry out this life test experiment really, but because the people repeats in the repetition handoff procedure of these dullnesses down long-time, as easy as rolling off a log generation is slipped up and is influenced this life test result of experiment, and make the change of this life test result of experiment because of more increasing, and be uncontrollable the change because of (all look on the engineering " people " into the unpredictable and change controlled because of), therefore, concerning some electronic product, in the process of carrying out this life test experiment, have because of can't simulating actual behaviour in service truly, and make that this life test result of experiment is incorrect, even lose the problem of the meaning that this life test experiment carries out fully.
