The present invention relates to a stereo device, and more particularly to a testing method and a testing system of a stereo device.
With increasing development of science and technology as well as industrial and commercial prosperity, people's living standards are gradually increased and the demands on the quality of leisure lives are developed toward sophisticated levels. For example, the hearing effects of sound, the visual changes of light beams or the clarity of images are important issues of the technical development and product development. Moreover, since songs (or music) may provide the function of relaxing the listeners and eliminating stress, songs (or music) are important to the leisure lives. Consequently, a variety of stereo devices are introduced into the market in order to meet the requirements of different users. For example, high-quality stereo devices, stereo devices that produce shocked hearing effects or small-sized portable stereo devices were developed.
Regardless of which type of stereo device is used, the inner space of the stereo device may generate a resonant effect to produce sound. The operating principles of the stereo device will be simply described as follows. Firstly, electric power is supplied to a coil of the stereo device. Consequently, an electric current flows through the coil to generate an electromagnetic field. For example, the frequency of the electromagnetic field is 256 Hz. That is, the number of vibration cycles per second is 256. When an AC power with the frequency of 256 Hz is outputted from the stereo device, the number of times the electric current changes per second is 256. Consequently, the membrane and the coil within the stereo device are subjected to vibration. Due to the vibration of the membrane and the coil, the air within the inner space of the stereo device is vibrated and a resonant effect occurs. In such way, the stereo device can produce sound.
However, a portion of the air may leak out from the inner space of the stereo device. If the amount of air leaking out from the inner space of the stereo device is very large, the resonant effect of the stereo device is adversely affected and the quality of the stereo device is deteriorated.
Therefore, there is a need of providing a stereo device testing method and a stereo device testing system in order to detect a gas leakage condition of the stereo device.
An object of the present invention provides a stereo device testing method for detecting a gas leakage condition of a stereo device.
Another object of the present invention provides a stereo device testing system for detecting a gas leakage condition of a stereo device.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a stereo device testing method for detecting a gas leakage condition of a stereo device. The stereo device testing method includes the following steps. Firstly, the stereo device is fixed, and a gas is continuously inputted into an inner space of the stereo device. Then, an internal pressure value of the inner space of the stereo device is detected after a predetermined time period. By judging whether the internal pressure value is higher than or equal to a default pressure value, the tester may determine whether the stereo device is qualified or not. If the internal pressure value is higher than or equal to the default pressure value, the stereo device is qualified. Whereas, if the internal pressure value is lower than the default pressure value, the stereo device is unqualified.

The stereo device is supported and fixed on the testing fixture. The gas pressure supply module is connected with the testing fixture. A gas is continuously provided from the gas pressure supply module to an inner space of the stereo device. The gas pressure detector is connected with the testing fixture. An internal pressure value of the inner space is detected by the gas pressure detector. The controlling unit is connected with the gas pressure detector. A default pressure value is stored in the controlling unit. After a predetermined time period, the controlling unit compares the internal pressure value with the default pressure value, thereby judging whether the stereo device is qualified or not. If the internal pressure value is higher than or equal to the default pressure value, the controlling unit judges that the stereo device is qualified. If the internal pressure value is lower than the default pressure value, the controlling unit judges that stereo device is unqualified.

The stereo device testing method includes the following steps. Firstly, the stereo device is fixed, and a gas is continuously inputted into an inner space of the stereo device. A gas temperature of the gas is higher than a room temperature, or the gas temperature of the gas is lower than the room temperature. Then, a special color zone which is formed by the gas leaked out from the inner space is observed according to a temperature sensing technology. Then, by judging whether a color of the special color zone is within a standard color range, the tester determines whether the stereo device is qualified or not. If the color of the special color zone is within the standard color range, the stereo device is qualified. Whereas, if the color of the special color zone is not within the standard color range, the stereo device is unqualified.

For eliminating the drawbacks of the conventional technology, the present invention provides a stereo device testing method and a stereo device testing system.
Hereinafter, a stereo device testing system according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to
It is noted that, in
Please refer to
The plural first switch elements 105 are connected with the master pressure pump 102 and the plural gas inlets 1041 through pipes (not shown). When the first switch element 105 is turned on, the gas is introduced into the inner space 20 through the corresponding gas inlet 1041. Similarly, the plural second switch elements 106 are connected with the gas pressure detector 12 and the plural gas outlets 1042 through pipes (not shown). When the second switch element 106 is turned on, the gas is introduced into the gas pressure detector 12 through the corresponding gas outlet 1042. The gas pressure supply module 11 comprises a gas source 111 and a pressure booster 112. The gas source 111 is used for continuously providing the gas. The pressure booster 112 is connected with the gas source 111 for stabilizing a gas pressure value of the gas or increasing the gas pressure value and transferring the gas to the master pressure pump 102 of the testing fixture 10. The pressure booster 112 may increase the gas pressure value of the gas to the pressure higher than the normal atmospheric pressure (e.g. 1 Pa). In this embodiment, the plural fixing elements 103 comprises plural fixing posts and plural fixing plates, and the plural first switch elements 105 and the plural second switch elements 106 are all solenoid valves.
Hereinafter, a stereo device testing method according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to
The step A comprises sub-steps A1˜A3. In the sub-step A1, the stereo device is fixed on the testing fixture. In the sub-step A2, the pressure booster is used to stabilize or increase a gas pressure value of the gas. In the sub-step A3, the gas is continuously inputted into the inner space of the stereo device. The step D comprises the sub-steps D1 and D2. In the sub-step D1, the pass test message is generated. In the sub-step D2, the failed test message is generated. In the step C, if the internal pressure value is higher than or equal to the default pressure value, the stereo device is qualified to pass the test, and then the sub-step D1 is performed. In the step C, if the internal pressure value is lower than the default pressure value, the stereo device is unqualified, and then the sub-step D2 is performed.
The operations of the stereo device testing method will be illustrated in more details as follows. Please refer to
After the gas has been continuously introduced into the inner space 20 for the predetermined time period (e.g. three minutes), the plural second switch element 106 are turned on by the controlling unit 13. Consequently, the gas within the inner space 20 is introduced into the gas pressure detector 12 through the plural gas outlets 1042. After the gas is detected by the pressure detector 12, the internal pressure value of the inner space 20 is acquired by the pressure detector 12. That is, the step B is performed. At the same time, the internal pressure value is transmitted from the pressure detector 12 to the controlling unit 13 and the first display device 14. Consequently, the internal pressure value is shown on the first display device 14.
Then, the controlling unit 13 compares the internal pressure value with the default pressure value in order to judge whether the stereo device 2 is qualified or not. That is, the step C is performed. If the internal pressure value is higher than or equal to the default pressure value, the controlling unit 13 judges that the stereo device 2 is qualified, and the pass test message is shown on the second display device 15. That is, the sub-step D1 is performed. On the other hand, if the internal pressure value is lower than the default pressure value, the controlling unit 13 judges that the stereo device 2 is unqualified, and the failed test message is shown on the second display device 15. That is, the sub-step D2 is performed. After the step D is completed, the plural sealing elements 104 are driven again to be moved away from the plural communication holes 21. Consequently, the stereo device 2 is no longer in the sealed state. After the stereo device 2 is removed from the testing fixture 10, the testing process of the stereo device 2 is completed. Then, a next stereo device may be tested by the above testing method.
As mentioned above, the gas pressure supply module 11 of this embodiment comprises the pressure booster 112 for stabilizing or increasing the gas pressure value of the gas. In case that the gas provided by the gas source is very stable and the gas pressure of the gas is higher than the normal atmospheric pressure, the pressure booster may be omitted from the gas pressure supply module. Under this circumstance, the gas is directly transferred from the gas source to the testing fixture.
The present invention further provides a second embodiment, which is distinguished from the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the structure of a stereo device testing system according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to
Hereinafter, a stereo device testing method according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to
The steps A′˜D′ of the stereo device testing method of this embodiment are similar to the steps A˜D of the stereo device testing method of the first embodiment, and are not redundantly described herein. In comparison with the stereo device testing method of the first embodiment, the stereo device testing method of this embodiment further comprises the sub-steps E1′ and E2′. Please refer to
After a certain time period, the second gas is leaked out from the inner space 20. Since the temperature of the second gas is higher than the room temperature, a special color zone may be formed around the stereo device 2 by the second gas which is leaked out, and the special color zone may be observed by the temperature sensor 37. The color of the special color zone is a warm color. Then, the special color zone is recorded as the gas leakage position of the stereo device 2 by the temperature sensor 37. That is, the sub-step E2′ is performed. After the sub-step E1′ and the sub-step E2′ are performed, the manufacturer of the stereo device 2 may repair the gas leakage position. Consequently, the stereo device 2 may produce a good resonant effect, and the sound quality of the stereo device 2 will be enhanced.
The present invention further provides a third embodiment, which is distinguished from the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the structure of a stereo device testing system according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to
Hereinafter, a stereo device testing method according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to
The step A* comprises sub-steps A1* and A2*. In the sub-step A1*, the stereo device is fixed on the testing fixture. In the sub-step A2*, the gas is continuously inputted into the inner space of the stereo device. The step D* comprises the sub-steps D1* and D2*. In the sub-step D1*, the pass test message is generated. In the sub-step D2*, the failed test message is generated. In the step C*, if the color of the special color zone is within the standard color range, the stereo device is qualified to pass the test, and then the sub-step D1* is performed. In the step C*, if the color of the special color zone is not within the standard color range, the stereo device is unqualified, and then the sub-step D2* is performed.
The operations of the stereo device testing method will be illustrated in more details as follows. Please refer to
After a certain time period, the second gas is leaked out from the inner space 20. Since the temperature of the second gas is lower than the room temperature, a special color zone may be formed around the stereo device 2 by the leaked gas, and the special color zone may be observed by the temperature sensor 42. For example, the color of the special color zone is a cold color. That is, the sub-step B* is performed. Then, by judging whether a color of the special color zone is within a standard color range, the controlling unit 43 determines whether the stereo device 2 is qualified or not. That is, the step C* is performed. The standard color range is a green color. If the color of the special color zone observed by the temperature sensor 42 is within the standard color range, it means that the amount of gas leaked out from the inner space 20 is not too large, and thus the color of the special color zone may be within the standard color range. Under this circumstance, the controlling unit 43 judges that the stereo device 2 is qualified, and the pass test message is controlled to be shown on the display device 44. That is, the sub-step D1* is performed. On the other hand, if the color of the special color zone observed by the temperature sensor 42 is not within the standard color range, it means that the amount of gas leaked out from the inner space 20 is very large, and thus the color of the special color zone. In addition, the color of the special color zone is a cold color. That is, the color of the special color zone is within the cold color range. Under this circumstance, the controlling unit 43 judges that the stereo device 2 is unqualified, and the failed test message is controlled to be shown on the display device 44. That is, the sub-step D2* is performed. Meanwhile, the testing procedure of the stereo device 2 is completed.
In some other embodiments, the gas is a high temperature gas with a temperature higher than the room temperature. If the color of the special color zone which is formed by the gas leaked out from the stereo device and observed by the temperature sensor is not within the standard color range, the color of the special color zone observed by the temperature sensor is a warm color. That is, the color is within a warm color range. Regardless of whether the gas is the high temperature gas or the low temperature gas, the stereo device testing method of the present invention is feasible.
From the above descriptions, the present invention provides a stereo device testing method and a stereo device testing system. Firstly, the stereo device is in a sealed state. Then, a gas is inputted into an inner space of the stereo device. Then, by detecting an internal pressure value of the inner space is detected or observing whether a special color zone around the stereo device is formed according to a temperature sensing technology, a gas leakage condition of the stereo device may be realized. After the stereo device is tested, the manufacturer of the stereo device may repair the gas leakage position. Under this circumstance, since the influence of the gas leakage condition on the resonant effect is minimized, the sound quality of the stereo device is enhanced.
