The Definition of Combined Machine Repair

Combined Machine Repair (or "patch repair") refers to the process of disassembling, repairing, and reassembling mining machines by replacing the scrapped hash boards with functional hash boards from other machines. For example, if both machines have a few scrapped hash boards, patch repair can combine the remaining boards to form a fully operational machine.

The patch repair process: Technicians will first locate hash boards of the same specification, hash power, and machine model. These boards undergo repair and testing. Then, in the system, the patched hash boards are bound to the machine (ensuring that the control board recognizes the hash boards), followed by an aging test (to ensure that the machine repaired through patch repair operates normally).

Advantages of patch repair:
1. Reduced repair time: Patch repair can restore machine functionality in a short period, minimizing the wait time for new products.
2. Cost savings: Compared to replacing with new hash boards, patch repair is more cost-effective, allowing customers to reduce expenditure on new boards.
3. Environmental benefits: Patch repair reduces waste production, contributing to environmental protection.

Disadvantages of patch repair:
1. Potential quality instability: The quality of a machine repaired using patch repair may not be as stable as that of a new product, presenting certain risks.
2. Limited applicability: Not all products are suitable for patch repair. Some severely damaged products may not be recoverable through patch repair. For instance, if all hash boards are scrapped and cannot be repaired, patch repair is not applicable.
