Therefore, the service life of the faucet, that is, the number of times it is turned on and off, becomes an important criterion for measuring the quality of the faucet. To detect the service life of the faucet, special testing equipment is required. The existing testing equipment has a relatively complex overall structure, high cost and inconvenient operation. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a faucet switch detection machine to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

[0004] The solution of the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A faucet switch detection machine comprises a workbench, on which is arranged: a fixed frame; a detection mechanism, which comprises a connecting seat, an upper support plate, a linear reciprocating drive member, a lower support plate, a lower guide rod, a spring, an upper pressure block, a lower pressure block, a transmission rod and a handle clamp, wherein the connecting seat is connected to the workbench, the upper support plate and the lower support plate are connected to the connecting seat at intervals along the up and down directions, the linear reciprocating drive member is arranged on the upper support plate, the upper pressure block is arranged on the linear reciprocating drive member, the linear reciprocating drive member can drive the upper pressure block to move up and down, the lower guide rod passes through the lower support plate in the vertical direction, the spring is sleeved on the outer side of the lower guide rod, the top end of the spring is abutted against the bottom side of the lower pressure block, the bottom end of the spring is abutted against the top side of the lower support plate, the lower pressure block is connected to the top end of the lower guide rod, the upper pressure block and the lower pressure block clamp the transmission rod, the transmission rod extends in the direction close to the fixed frame, and the handle clamp is connected to the transmission rod.

[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: the faucet to be tested can be installed on the fixing frame, and the switch handle of the faucet can be clamped by using the handle clamp, and the handle clamp is connected to the transmission rod, and the upper pressure block and the lower pressure block clamp the transmission rod together. When the linear reciprocating drive member drives the upper pressure block to move upward, the spring pushes up the lower pressure block, thereby driving the switch handle in the handle clamp to move upward through the transmission rod. When the linear reciprocating drive member drives the lower pressure block to move downward, the spring is further compressed, and the transmission rod drives the switch handle in the handle clamp to move downward, thereby driving the switch handle to move up and down continuously, so that the faucet is continuously opened and closed, thereby realizing the life detection of the faucet. The entire detection process can be carried out automatically, and the test results can be directly observed and viewed, which is intuitive and easy to operate.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the connecting seat includes a connecting frame and a connecting side plate, the connecting frame is connected to the workbench, the connecting side plate is slidably connected to the connecting frame, the connecting side plate can move in the vertical direction on the connecting frame, an adjusting nut is provided on the connecting side plate, a screw rod is rotatably connected to the connecting frame, the rotation axis of the screw rod extends in the vertical direction, the adjusting nut is cooperatively connected to the screw rod, and the upper support plate and the lower support plate are connected to the connecting side plate. Since the adjusting nut is cooperatively connected to the screw rod, and the connecting side plate is slidably connected to the connecting frame, the forward or reverse rotation of the screw rod can drive the connecting side plate to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the handle clamp to better adapt to faucets of different shapes.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the linear reciprocating drive member includes a motor, a wheel disc, an upper guide rod and a swing arm, the motor is connected to the connecting side plate, the motor drive is connected to the wheel disc, the upper guide rod passes through the upper support plate in the vertical direction, the upper pressure block is connected to the bottom end of the upper guide rod, one end of the swing arm is rotatably connected to the wheel disc, the other end of the swing arm is rotatably connected to the upper pressure block, the rotation axes at both ends of the swing arm are parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel disc, and the connection point of the swing arm connected to the wheel disc is located outside the rotation axis of the wheel disc. Since the upper guide rod passes through the upper support plate to limit the position of the upper pressure block, the upper pressure block can only move in the vertical direction on the upper support plate in the vertical direction. When it is necessary to drive the upper pressure block to move up and down, the motor drives the wheel disc to rotate, and the wheel disc transmits power to the upper pressure block through the swing arm, converting the rotational motion output by the motor into linear motion.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a first bearing is connected between the upper guide rod and the upper support plate. The first bearing connected between the upper guide rod and the upper support plate makes the upper guide rod move more smoothly when moving up and down.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a second bearing is connected between the lower guide rod and the lower support plate. Similarly, the second bearing connected between the lower guide rod and the lower support plate makes the lower guide rod move more smoothly when moving up and down.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a mounting plate is slidably connected to the fixing frame, the mounting plate can move in a vertical direction on the fixing frame, and at least one bolt fixes the mounting plate to the fixing frame. The faucet to be tested is mounted on the mounting plate, and when the height of the faucet needs to be adjusted, the mounting plate is moved up and down to a suitable height, and the mounting plate is fixed to the fixing frame by bolts.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the transmission rod and the handle clamp are detachably connected. In order to adapt to fixing different faucet handles, different handle clamps need to be selected, and the transmission rod and the handle clamp are detachably connected, which can facilitate disassembly and maintenance of the handle clamp.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 A faucet switch detection machine includes a workbench 100, on which is disposed: a fixing frame 200; a detection mechanism, which includes a connecting seat, an upper support plate 320, a linear reciprocating drive member, a lower support plate 340, a lower guide rod 350, a spring 360, an upper pressing block 370, a lower pressing block 380, a transmission rod 390 and a handle clamp 400, wherein the connecting seat is connected to the workbench 100, the upper support plate 320 and the lower support plate 340 are connected to the connecting seat at intervals along the up and down directions, the linear reciprocating drive member is disposed on the upper support plate 320, the upper pressing block 370 is disposed on the linear reciprocating drive member, and the The linear reciprocating drive member can drive the upper pressure block 370 to move up and down, the lower guide rod 350 passes through the lower support plate 340 in the vertical direction, the spring 360 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower guide rod 350, the top end of the spring 360 is against the bottom side of the lower pressure block 380, the bottom end of the spring 360 is against the top side of the lower support plate 340, the lower pressure block 380 is connected to the top end of the lower guide rod 350, the upper pressure block 370 and the lower pressure block 380 clamp the transmission rod 390, the transmission rod 390 extends in the direction close to the fixing frame 200, and the handle clamp 400 is connected to the transmission rod 390.

[0018] As can be seen from the above, the faucet to be tested can be installed on the fixing frame 200, and the handle clamp 400 can be used to clamp the switch handle of the faucet, and the handle clamp 400 is connected to the transmission rod 390, and the upper pressure block 370 and the lower pressure block 380 jointly clamp the transmission rod 390. When the linear reciprocating drive member drives the upper pressure block 370 to move upward, the spring 360 lifts the lower pressure block 380, thereby driving the switch handle in the handle clamp 400 to move upward through the transmission rod 390. When the linear reciprocating drive member drives the lower pressure block 380 to move downward, the spring 360 is further compressed, and the transmission rod 390 drives the switch handle in the handle clamp 400 to move downward, thereby driving the switch handle to move up and down continuously, so that the faucet is continuously opened and closed, thereby realizing the life detection of the faucet. The entire detection process can be carried out automatically, and the test results can be directly observed and viewed, which is intuitive and easy to operate.

[0019] In order to adjust the height of the handle fixture 400, in this embodiment, the connection seat includes a connection frame 311 and a connection side plate 312, the connection frame 311 is connected to the workbench 100, the connection side plate 312 is slidably connected to the connection frame 311, the connection side plate 312 can move in the vertical direction on the connection frame 311, an adjustment nut is provided on the connection side plate 312, a screw rod 313 is rotatably connected to the connection frame 311, the rotation axis of the screw rod 313 extends in the vertical direction, the adjustment nut is connected to the screw rod 313, and the upper support plate 320 and the lower support plate 340 are connected to the connection side plate 312. Since the adjustment nut is connected to the screw rod 313, and the connection side plate 312 is slidably connected to the connection frame 311, the forward or reverse rotation of the screw rod 313 can drive the connection side plate 312 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the handle fixture 400 to better adapt to faucets of different shapes.

[0020] The linear reciprocating drive component is mainly used to provide a driving force for the upper pressure block 370 to reciprocate up and down, and its structural forms include various types, such as an electric screw, etc. In the present embodiment, the linear reciprocating drive component includes a motor 331, a wheel disc 332, an upper guide rod 333 and a swing arm 334, wherein the motor 331 is connected to the connecting side plate 312, the motor 331 is driven and connected to the wheel disc 332, the upper guide rod 333 passes through the upper support plate 320 in the vertical direction, the upper pressure block 370 is connected to the bottom end of the upper guide rod 333, one end of the swing arm 334 is rotatably connected to the wheel disc 332, and the other end of the swing arm 334 is rotatably connected to the upper pressure block 370, the rotation axes at both ends of the swing arm 334 are parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel disc 332, and the connection point of the swing arm 334 connected to the wheel disc 332 is located outside the rotation axis of the wheel disc 332. Since the upper guide rod 333 passes through the upper support plate 320 to limit the position of the upper pressure block 370, the upper pressure block 370 can only move in the vertical direction on the upper support plate 320. When it is necessary to drive the upper pressure block 370 to move up and down, the motor 331 drives the wheel 332 to rotate, and the wheel 332 transmits power to the upper pressure block 370 through the swing arm 334, converting the rotational motion output by the motor 331 into linear motion.

[0021] In the above embodiment, a hole is directly opened on the upper support plate 320, and the upper guide rod 333 is passed through the hole, so that the upper guide rod 333 can move in the vertical direction on the upper support plate 320. In this embodiment, a first bearing is connected between the upper guide rod 333 and the upper support plate 320. The first bearing connected between the upper guide rod 333 and the upper support plate 320 makes the upper guide rod 333 move more smoothly when moving up and down.
