[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, when the switching motor 15 is activated, power is transmitted to the drive roller via the gears and transmission chain, causing the conveyor belt to move left or right, thereby switching the test object. The switching motor 15 uses a stepper motor, and the ends of the conveyor belt 12 are fixed to the left drive roller 17 and the right drive roller 18. This can accurately control the conveyor belt's transmission distance, thereby achieving accurate switching of the test object.

[0055] Further, if Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the rotary lifting test mechanism includes: a rotary lifting test mechanism stand 21, a lifting motor 22, a slide bar 23, a slider 24, a slide rail 25, a rotary motor 26, a driving wheel 27, a number five flat key 28, a belt 29, a driven wheel 210, a metal detector 211, a sound sensor 214, and a slide plate 215; the slide rail 25 is arranged on the left and right sides of the rotary lifting mechanism stand 21; the slider 24 is arranged on the slide rail 25, and one side of the slider 24 is fixedly connected to the left inner side of the belt 29, and the slide bar 23 passes through the through holes of the two splints on the slider 24; one end of the slide bar 23 is rotatably mounted in the baffle at the top of the rotary lifting mechanism stand 21, and the other end of the slide bar 23 is fixed together with the rotary motor 26; the slide plate 215 is fixed between the upper and lower baffles of the slider 24, and the slide plate 215 has a mounting hole. The mounting hole is connected with the slide bar 23 by interference fit, and the sound sensor 214 is installed on the slide bar 215.

[0056] Further, if Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the inner protrusions of the belt 29 engage with the protrusions on the driving wheel 27 and the driven wheel 210. In actual production, the belt 29 is specifically a synchronous belt, and the driving wheel 27 and the driven wheel 210 are specifically synchronous pulleys.

[0059] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, the middle section of the slide rod 23 is a flat key shaft, and the flat key shaft and the slide plate 215 can slide axially relative to each other and be radially limited.

[0060] Specifically, the slide 215 acts as the actuator for both lifting and rotating motions. In practical applications, the metal detector 211 is secured to the slide 215 (different clamping devices can be used for different metal detectors). The lift motor 22 and the rotation motor 26 drive the slide 215, which in turn drives the detector 211 in a predetermined circular motion. The lift and rotation of the slide 215 can be performed simultaneously or in separate steps.

[0061] Further, if Figure 7 As shown, the control module 3 includes a plurality of control buttons and a display screen 31.

The switching motor and its drive circuit 15 in the rotating lifting and testing mechanism 1 and the lifting motor 22 and rotating motor 26 in the test object automatic switching mechanism 2 are in communication with the control module 3. The automatic switching of the test object model and the lifting and rotating of the metal detector can be controlled by the control module 3. The control module 3 can be, for example, but not limited to, a PLC control module or a single-chip microcomputer control module.

[0063] Further, if Figure 8 As shown, the control module 3 operates the left switching motor 15, the lifting motor 22, and the rotating motor 26 through corresponding drive circuits. The corresponding drive circuits can all be implemented using existing technologies. The control module 3 is also connected to an acoustic sensor 214 and the lifting motor 22. The acoustic sensor 214 is used to receive alarm signals from the metal detector, and the lifting motor 22 is used to record the linear travel distance of the metal detector. Furthermore, the control module 3 is equipped with a mode button, a cycle button, a start button, and a power switch.

[0066] Based on Example 1, the present invention also provides a method for operating a handheld metal detector performance automatic test bench. The method includes: a control module 3 controls a rotary lifting test mechanism 2 to achieve the movement of a metal detector 211, and controls a test object automatic switching mechanism 1 to achieve the switching of test objects. The bench has five operating modes: mode 1 is iron testing, mode 2 is aluminum testing, mode 3 is iron testing, mode 4 is copper testing, and mode 5 is all-metal testing. The all-metal test starts with the first test object, iron, and after each cycle of testing is completed n times, it switches to the next test object and tests them one by one, ultimately testing the detection distance of the metal detector to be tested for each metal. As needed, this mode can add other metal detection objects.

[0067] Specifically, the method by which the control module 3 controls the rotating lifting test mechanism 2 to realize the movement of the metal detector 211 includes: the control module 3 controls the switching motor 15 to start, and the power is transmitted to the drive roller through the gears and the transmission chain, and the conveyor belt transmits to the left or right, thereby realizing the switching of the test object.

[0069] like Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, the specific implementation of the handheld metal detector performance automatic test bench of the present invention is as follows:

[0070] The test bench has five working modes, mode one is iron test, mode two is aluminum test, mode three is iron test, mode four is copper test mode, and mode five is all-metal test. The all-metal test starts with the first test object, iron. After each cycle of testing is completed n times, it switches to the next test object and detects them one by one, and finally tests the detection distance of the metal detector to each metal.

[0077] S6. The metal detector 211 approaches the test object slowly and uniformly under the operation of the lifting mechanism.

[0078] S7. The metal detector 211 sounds an alarm, and the sound sensor 214 receives the corresponding signal and feeds it back to the control module. The control module controls the metal detector to stop descending and to rise 50 mm in the reverse direction.

[0079] S8. The metal detector 211 rotates 90 degrees to the right under the operation of the rotating mechanism.

[0080] S9. Under the operation of the rotating mechanism, the metal detector 211 first rotates 180 degrees to the left at a constant speed, then rotates 180 degrees to the right at a constant speed, and repeats this cycle 5 times.

[0081] S10. Has the metal detector 211 alarmed 10 times? If so, go to step S12; otherwise, go to step S11.

[0082] S11. The metal detector 211 descends 1 mm (the descending step can be adjusted according to the detection accuracy), and steps S9 and S10 are executed.

[0083] S12. The lifting motor 22 feeds back the total descending distance X to the control module, and the control module records the detection distance 1000-X mm.

The all-metal test starts with the first test object, iron. After each cycle of testing is completed n times, it switches to the next test object and tests them one by one. Finally, the detection distance of the metal detector to each metal is tested. The test steps are as follows: S1. Turn on the metal detector (211) to be tested, select the detection mode, and then fix it on the slide (215), and ensure that the induction coil of the metal detector is directly above the switching roller (16); S2. Turn on the power switch, press the mode button, and select test mode; S3. Press the cycle button and select the number of tests n; S4. Press the start button to start the test; S5. The test object is automatically switched to the corresponding test object, and the metal detector (211) returns to the initial position. The initial position is that the detection plane of the metal detector (211) is 1 meter above the test object. This distance can be adjusted, but it must be ensured that it exceeds the detection distance of the current handheld metal detector for all metal detection objects, and the angle between the metal detector (211) and the test object is 0 degrees; S6. The metal detector (211) approaches the test object slowly and uniformly under the operation of the lifting mechanism; S7.

The metal detector (211) is in operation by rotating the mechanism, and is rotated 90 degrees to the right; S9. The metal detector (211) rotates 180 degrees to the left at a constant speed, then 180 degrees to the right at a constant speed, and repeats the cycle 5 times. S10. Whether the metal detector (211) alarms 10 times, if so, proceed to step S12, otherwise proceed to step S11; S11. The metal detector drops 1mm. The distance the metal detector drops can be adjusted according to the detection accuracy. Steps S9 and S10 are executed. S12. The lifting motor (22) feeds back the total descending distance X to the control module, which records the detection distance 1000-Xmm; S13. Loop through steps S5-S12 n times, and the final detection distance is the average of all test results. S14. Press the print test result button to list the results of several tests and the final test result in a table and print them out.
