[0029] The "first" and "second" in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are only used to distinguish names.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an infrared sensor testing device in one embodiment of the present invention includes a moving mechanism and a testing mechanism; the moving mechanism includes a workbench 1, a clamping assembly 2 and a conveying device installed on the workbench 1, the conveying device includes a feeding assembly 3 and a discharging assembly 4, the clamping assembly 2 is installed on the workbench 1 and is used to clamp and transfer the sensor on the discharging assembly 4; the testing mechanism includes a driving assembly 5, a test box 6 and a test assembly 7 for detecting the sensor, the conveying device is used to transport the test assembly 7, the driving assembly 5 and the test box 6 are both installed on the workbench 1 and located between the feeding assembly 3 and the discharging assembly 4, and the driving assembly 5 is used to transfer the test assembly 7 to the test box 6.

[0031] The above-mentioned infrared sensor testing equipment is equipped with a conveying device to realize the feeding and discharging of the sensors to be tested, thereby speeding up the testing speed; by providing a clamping component 2, when the sensor test is completed and it is transported on the discharging component 4, the clamping component 2 can separately clamp the sensors that have been tested correctly and transfer them for storage, completing the classification of the sensors after the test; by providing a driving component 5, the lifting movement of the test component 7 is driven, so that the test component 7 can move back and forth in and out of the test box 6 to complete the sensor test; by providing the test box 6, a closed environment is provided for the sensor test that is not interfered with by external light sources; by providing a moving mechanism and a testing mechanism, the problem of low efficiency of manual sensor testing is solved.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the feed assembly 3 includes a first lifting base 31 and a first conveyor member 32 and a second conveyor member 33 for feeding the test assembly 7. The first lifting base 31 and the first conveyor member 32 are both mounted on the workbench 1. The first lifting base 31 can move up and down relative to the workbench 1. The first lifting base 31 is provided with a first guide rail, and the second conveyor member 33 is slidably connected to the first guide rail. In this way, by providing the first lifting base 31, the first lifting base 31 drives the second conveyor member 33 to move up and down, so that the second conveyor member 33 and the first conveyor member 32 are at the same height. The second conveyor member 33 then slides to the discharge end of the first conveyor member 32, and the test assembly 7 on the first conveyor member 32 is then transferred to the second conveyor member 33. The sliding movement of the second conveyor member 33 then transfers the test assembly 7 to the positioning plate 52.

[0033] Specifically, the second conveying member 33 is located between the first conveying member 32 and the positioning plate 52 .

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the discharge assembly 4 includes a second lifting base 41 and a third conveyor 42 and a fourth conveyor 43 for discharging the test assembly 7. The second lifting base 41 and the fourth conveyor 43 are both mounted on the workbench 1. The second lifting base 41 can move up and down relative to the workbench 1. The second lifting base 41 is provided with a second guide rail, and the third conveyor 42 is slidably connected to the second guide rail. Thus, the second lifting base 41 drives the third conveyor 42 to move up and down, so that the third conveyor 42 and the fourth conveyor 43 are at the same height. The third conveyor 42 then slides to the feed end of the fourth conveyor 43. The test assembly 7 on the third conveyor 42 is then transferred to the fourth conveyor 43. The fourth conveyor 43 then slides and transfers the test assembly 7 to an external location for collection. During this process, the clamping assembly 2 has already transferred the sensor on the test assembly 7. Therefore, only the test assembly 7 body, without the sensor, is discharged via the fourth conveyor 43, facilitating the subsequent fixed installation of other sensors to be tested.

[0035] Specifically, the third conveying member 42 is located between the positioning plate 52 and the fourth conveying member 43 .

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the driving assembly 5 includes a third guide rail, a sliding seat 51, a first driving member, and a positioning plate 52 for placing the test assembly 7.

The output end of the first driving member is connected to the positioning plate 52 and is used to control the lifting movement of the positioning plate 52. In this way, by providing the sliding seat 51, the sliding seat 51 along the third guide rail can transfer the test assembly 7 on the second conveyor 33 to the positioning plate 52, or transfer the test assembly 7 on the positioning plate 52 to the third conveyor 42, thereby adjusting the position of the test assembly 7 and completing feeding or unloading. By providing the first driving member, the first driving member drives the lifting movement of the positioning plate 52, so that the positioning plate 52 can drive the lifting movement of the test assembly 7, so that the sensor on the test assembly 7 can reciprocate in and out of the test box 6 to achieve testing of the sensor.

[0037] In one embodiment, a test box 6 is positioned above the drive assembly 5. A test cavity is formed within the test box 6, and a test motherboard is mounted within the cavity. A notch is provided at the bottom of the test box 6, communicating with the test cavity. This notch facilitates the reciprocating movement of the test assembly 7 into and out of the test box 6.

The mounting plate 722 is mounted on the mounting seat 721. The second driving member 724 is installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 721. The output end of the second driving member 724 passes through the mounting seat 721 and is connected to the fixing member 723. The fixing member 723 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 722.

In this way, by providing.

[0040] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the test element 71 is arranged on the upper end surface of the mounting plate 722, and the test element 71 is provided with a first fixing hole 711 for fixing the sensor transmitting end, and a second fixing hole 712 for fixing the sensor receiving end. The first fixing hole 711 and the second fixing hole 712 are located on the same straight line. A test sample 713 is provided inside the test element 71, and the test sample 713 is located between the first fixing hole 711 and the second fixing hole 712. Two PCB adapters 714 are embedded on one side of the test element 71, and the PCB adapter 714 is detachably electrically connected to the test main board. The receiving end and the transmitting end fixed in the first fixing hole 711 and the second fixing hole 712 can be electrically connected to the test main board through the corresponding PCB adapters 714 respectively. In this way, the transmitter and receiver of the sensor are respectively inserted into the first fixing hole 711 and the second fixing hole 712, and then the interfaces are connected to the corresponding PCB adapter 714, and then the test mainboard is connected. The test mainboard can control the transmitter to emit infrared rays, and the emitted infrared rays pass through the test sample 713 and irradiate the receiver. The test mainboard collects the information of the receiver to determine whether the sensor is qualified, and completes the test of the sensor. Through the above technical solution, the receiver and transmitter can be quickly aligned to improve the test efficiency and test accuracy.

[0041] like Figure 3-5As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping assembly 2 includes a fixed base 21, a rotating member 22, a first control arm 23, a second control arm 24, and a clamping member 25 for clamping the sensor. The fixed base 21 is fixed to the workbench 1, the rotating member 22 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 21, the first control arm 23 is rotatably connected between the rotating member 22 and the second control arm 24, and the second control arm 24 is rotatably connected to the clamping member 25. In this way, by providing the rotating member 22, the rotation of the rotating member 22 adjusts the clamping direction of the clamping member 25, which can better transfer the sensor; by providing the first control arm 23 and the second control arm 24, the sensor is clamped with different degrees of freedom control in different directions, and the clamping angle of the clamping member 25 can be adjusted to achieve a better clamping effect.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping member 25 includes an adapter block 251, a connecting block 252, and a clamping block 253 for clamping the sensor. One end of the adapter block 251 is rotatably connected to the second control arm 24, the other end of the rotating block 7232 is connected to the connecting block 252, and the clamping block 253 is mounted on the connecting block 252. In this way, by providing the adapter block 251, the rotation of the adapter block 251 can adjust the position of the clamping block 253, thereby facilitating the clamping operation.

[0043] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
