[0064] Working process:

[0065] (1) When a metering box 14 is transported to the test station, the Y-axis driving mechanism drives the metering box door limit state testing mechanism to move along the X-axis transmission mechanism to the test position; the metering box door limit state testing mechanisms on both sides move to the test positions respectively. According to the sizes of different metering boxes, the metering box door limit state testing mechanism can choose to move one or two simultaneously in opposite directions. Since the heights of the metering box doors of different models are inconsistent, the second Z-axis driving motor drives the test rotating assembly to adjust to the appropriate position according to the signal feedback.

[0066] (2) In the metering box door limit state testing mechanism, the metering box pressing assembly presses the metering box. Manually open the box door and limit the upper end of the box door between the stop block and the crank. Then the rotating motor drives the rotating plate to rotate, rotates the metering box door to the limit position (usually 180°), and applies a load of 50 N at a distance of 300 mm from the hinge edge on the upper edge of the box door for 3 s. If the hinge of the door does not fall off and the functions of the door, hinge and locking device are not damaged, the test is considered to pass.

[0067] (3) After the metering box door test is completed, the insert bolt testing mechanism moves along the X-axis transmission mechanism to the specified position. The tensile test gripper moves to the metering box insert bolt test position. The position of the test bolt is located by the cross laser head. The floating positioning mechanism finely adjusts the deviation. The air gripper drives the clamping jaw to grasp the metering box embedded bolt, and gives the corresponding axial load according to different insert thread hole diameters. Then the external power mechanism drives the tensile test gripper to move backward gradually. The force measuring sensor tests the tension of the tension spring. When the required load of the bolt is reached, the tensile test gripper stops moving. If the test bolt is not loose or damaged, is still in the original position, and there are no cracks in the surrounding material of the embedding hole, the test is considered to pass.

[0068] Although embodiments and drawings of the present invention are disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will understand that: various substitutions, changes, and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the content disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
