The servo motor 310 in the drive assembly 300 drives the test assembly 400 to move away from the support plate 200 and rise to the highest point. Then the servo motor 310 drives the test assembly 400 to move downward, and the weight test head 410 performs free fall motion along the linear bearing, so that the weight test head 410 falls due to its own gravity and hits the device to be tested. The weight is hit by its own gravity. The device to be tested can be a computer keyboard, mobile phone, remote control and other keys and various buttons and switches for durability life test.

When the test component 400 rises, the weight test head 410 is driven to rise. When the test component 400 falls, the weight test head 410 moves along with the test component under the action of its own gravity. The servo motor 310 can accurately control the striking speed of the test product, and the striking force of the test product is applied in the form of weight-added force, which not only overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional cylinder striking method that the striking speed and force are difficult to control, but also overcomes the shortcomings of the spring force striking method that the spring is easily fatigued after a long time of striking. It has the advantages of accurate striking speed control and stable and adjustable striking force, alleviating the technical problems in the existing technology that the traditional cylinder striking method is difficult to control the striking speed and force, and cannot accurately measure the key load life of the device under test.

[0051] It should be noted that the servo motor 310 drives the eccentric member 320 to move upward, and the test assembly 400 moves upward accordingly. After the test assembly 400 reaches the highest position, the servo motor 310 drives the test assembly 400 to move downward, and the eccentric member 320 moves downward.

[0057] Specifically, a base plate 500 is installed on the top of the chassis body 100, the stepper motor 600 is located inside the chassis body 100, a through hole is opened on the base plate 500, and the driving end of the stepper motor 600 is connected to the support plate 200 through the through hole. The stepper motor 600 drives the support plate 200 to move relative to the base plate 500, thereby adjusting the distance between the support plate 200 and the test component 400.
[0058] The key load life test device provided in this embodiment electrically adjusts the height of the support plate 200 by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the stepper motor 600 to drive the electric cylinder to extend and retract. It has digital settings and precise positioning, which facilitates the installation and adjustment testing of products and fixtures of various specifications.
[0059] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the key load life testing device provided in this embodiment also includes a CCD camera 700; the CCD camera 700 is connected to the chassis body 100, the CCD camera 700 can capture images of the device to be tested, and the CCD camera 700 is configured to be connected to the server via Ethernet.
[0060] Specifically, the camera part of the CCD camera 700 is located on one side of the support plate 200. The CCD camera 700 captures images of the device under test in real time. The images captured by the CCD camera 700 are connected to the server via Ethernet, and the test conditions recorded by the CCD are uploaded to the server so that users can record and remotely view the test conditions.
[0061] In addition, the host computer of the test machine is connected to the server via Ethernet to upload test data, and the host computer of the test machine is connected to the lower computer PLC via USB to RS232 serial port to obtain test data, monitor test status and remote test operations.
[0062] In an optional embodiment, a touch screen 800 is provided on the chassis body 100 , and the touch screen 800 is used to be electrically connected to a lower computer.
[0063] Specifically, the PLC of the test machine is connected to the industrial control touch screen 800 through the RS232 serial port to exchange interface data.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, a force sensor is provided on the support plate 200 , and the force sensor is configured to detect the impact force applied to the device under test and transmit the impact force information to the host computer via a force transmitter.
[0065] Specifically, the test host computer is connected to the force transmitter via USB to RS485, collects and records the real-time impact force data of the test product, forms a visual curve chart, and uploads it to the server for reference by test-related personnel.
[0066] In addition, a voltage signal conversion module is installed on the device under test. The test machine's lower computer PLC can monitor the real-time status of various test products at their respective test voltage levels through the connected voltage signal conversion module.

[0068] Specifically, the PLC of the lower computer of the test machine receives the signal from the photoelectric sensor and controls the operation of the servo motor 310 and the stepper motor 600 through a program. The PLC of the lower computer can automatically cycle the test by setting the target test cycle through the program, automatically judge the test results, and upload the test data to the upper computer, which is then transmitted to the server by the upper computer.
[0069] The key load life test device provided in this embodiment uses a USB-to-RS485 serial port connected force transmitter to collect real-time impact force signals from the test product, create intuitive curve charts on the host computer control interface, and upload them to the server for relevant personnel to view. The lower computer PLC, through a connected voltage signal conversion module, collects feedback signals from the test product, monitors the product's real-time test status, and determines whether the product is OK or NG. If the test fails, the test is stopped, an alarm is immediately sounded, prompting personnel to promptly check the test site, and the test data is uploaded to the host computer. In addition, the host computer programmatically creates a user test interface and parameter setting interface to set test conditions such as the target cycle, state detection frequency, weight load, servo rotation speed, speed target cycle, and upper and lower dwell times. The corresponding test key position and test signal feedback type are then selected. After setting the parameters, they can be saved and transmitted to the lower computer for execution. The pre-set conditions, the real-time number of impacts, and whether the life of each impact is normal can be viewed in real time on the host computer test interface. If any instability occurs, an automatic alarm will be automatically issued, and the test will be stopped immediately to investigate the cause.
[0070] Furthermore, the onboard camera allows for remote monitoring of test equipment operation, allowing users to observe current test results and select test results from previous time periods in real time from a remote location. The test interface can also be viewed remotely via a webpage, integrating visual monitoring with real-time remote data sharing.
