In this example, the through hole on the PCB board 2 includes a positioning hole 4, a welding PAD 5, and a calibration PAD 6.

A first mounting plate 71 is arranged on the top of the shell 7. A through hole 73 corresponding to the infrared sensing lamp bead 3 is opened in the middle of the first mounting plate 71. A second mounting plate 72 with adjustable position is arranged at the bottom of the shell 7 (in this embodiment, guide rails can be arranged on both sides of the shell 7, and sliders corresponding to the guide rails are arranged at both ends of the second mounting plate 72. The slide is pushed and moved on the guide rail. The sliding connection and fixation of the guide rail and the slider can adopt the existing technology. When the second mounting plate is adjusted to a fixed position, The slider and the guide rail are fixed by bolts (not shown in the figure), and the distance between the reflector 8 and the infrared sensing lamp bead 3 is adjusted by adjusting the second mounting plate 72. The PCB board 2 is fixed to the first mounting plate 71, and the reflector 8 is fixed to the second mounting plate 72. The reflector 8 corresponds to the infrared sensing lamp bead 3.

[0032] See Figure 4 A method for testing and calibrating a sensing distance threshold including a PCB board 2 using the test fixture of the present application, wherein the calibration trigger pad 61 is triggered by a controller, and the model of the controller in the present application is selected according to actual needs (the controller can select the E85F3204TF series), and the initial value of the sensing distance threshold is set to a preset sensing threshold value A. In this example, the preset sensing threshold value A=60mm, and the calibration of the sensing distance threshold is achieved by adjusting the preset sensing threshold value A. The test steps are as follows:

[0033] S1. Fix the distance between the reflector 8 and the infrared sensing lamp bead 3 to be L. In this example, the fixed distance L is 110 mm.

[0034] S2, start the test fixture;

[0035] S3. Determine whether the calibration PAD and the negative pole of the power supply are conductive, that is, determine whether there is a calibration requirement. The determination method is: detect whether the calibration PAD and the negative pole of the power supply are conductive:

[0036] S31, if the calibration PAD and the negative electrode of the power supply are turned on, it means that there is a calibration requirement, and step S4 is executed to calibrate the sensing distance threshold of the sensing switch;

[0037] S32, if the calibration PAD and the negative electrode of the power supply are not connected, it means that there is no calibration requirement, and step S33 is executed;

[0038] S33, if the transmitting end and the receiving end of the infrared sensing lamp bead 3 are not turned on, and the fixed distance L is greater than the preset sensing threshold value A, it indicates that the preset threshold value meets the standard requirements or actual use requirements, the detection is completed, and it can be put into use;

[0039] S4. Calibrate the sensing distance threshold: adjust the preset sensing threshold value A, and detect whether the receiving end and the transmitting end of the infrared sensing lamp bead are turned on (when the receiving end and the transmitting end of the infrared sensing lamp bead are turned on, it means that the calibration PAD and the negative pole of the power supply are turned on, otherwise it means that the calibration PAD and the negative pole of the power supply are not turned on): Under the condition that the fixed distance L is greater than the preset sensing threshold value A, increase the preset sensing threshold value A, and adjust the preset sensing threshold value A to A1, A1=70, A<A1<L. At this time, judge whether the receiving end and the transmitting end of the infrared sensing lamp bead 3 are turned on.

[0040] S41, if it is not connected, it indicates that the adjusted preset sensing threshold value A1 meets the standard, and the adjusted preset sensing threshold value A1 is stored;

[0041] S42, if it is conductive, it indicates that the adjusted preset sensing threshold value A1 still does not meet the standard, and the preset sensing threshold value A is continued to be increased, and the preset sensing threshold value A is adjusted to A2, A1<A2<L, A2=80, at this time, it is determined whether the receiving end and the transmitting end of the infrared sensing lamp bead 3 are conductive, if conductive, step S41 is executed, and A2 is stored, if conductive, the preset sensing threshold value A is continued to be adjusted, and this cycle is repeated, and finally a set of preset sensing threshold values ​​that meet the standard is obtained, and step S5 can be entered for use;

[0042] This embodiment includes step S5, putting into use.

[0043] When the PCB board is processed, the sensing threshold value of the PCB board is calibrated using the above-mentioned calibration fixture and calibration method to obtain a set of sensing threshold values ​​that meet the standards, and the set is put into use as the sensing threshold value of the PCB board. The sensing switch made of the PCB board calibrated by the above-mentioned calibration fixture and calibration method can effectively avoid the problem of false triggering when the sensing distance is far (for example, when the sensing distance is greater than 110mm).

[0044] In the prior art, the processing and production of the induction switch circuit board requires the use of two processing production lines, the patch line and the plug-in line, which require a lot of investment in the production line and occupy a large space. In addition, the waste gas and solid waste generated during the production process of the plug-in line are discharged more, which seriously affects the environment. In this application, all electronic components and cable plug-in wires on the PCB board are selected from existing models that can be processed by patch processing. Therefore, the production and processing of related products only use patch production lines, which reduces the investment in production lines and the occupied space area. In this application, before the PCB is put into use, the distance test of the PCB board 2 is first carried out, and the calibration PAD 6 is reserved on the PCB board 2 through the test fixture. The calibration PAD 6 is connected to the trigger pin of the controller in the test fixture. The sensing distance of the PCB board is tested by the controller and the test method, and the sensing distance threshold is calibrated by the calibration method, which improves the accuracy of the product sensing distance and avoids the problem of false triggering. At the same time, the consistency setting of the product sensing distance is achieved, which reduces the excessive dependence on the consistency of electronic components and reduces the product material cost.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and changes directly derived or associated by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
