Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electric toothbrush detection, and in particular relates to an electric toothbrush detection machine and an implementation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Electric toothbrushes can generate high-frequency vibrations in the brush head through the rapid rotation or vibration of the motor core, instantly breaking down the toothpaste into fine foam and deeply cleaning the gaps between teeth. In principle, there are two types of electric toothbrushes: rotational and vibrational. The principle of a rotational toothbrush is simple, that is, the motor drives the circular brush head to rotate, which enhances the friction effect while performing ordinary brushing actions. Rotational toothbrushes have strong power, clean the tooth surface very cleanly, and the cleaning of the gaps between teeth is relatively weak, but they cause great wear on the teeth, so long-term use is not recommended. Vibrational toothbrushes are more complex and more high-end in terms of price. There is an electrically driven vibration motor inside the vibration type toothbrush, which allows the brush head to produce high-frequency swings perpendicular to the direction of the brush handle, but the swing amplitude is very small, generally about 5 mm up and down, and the largest swing amplitude in the industry is 6 mm.

[0003] In the production process of electric toothbrushes, the performance of electric toothbrushes depends largely on the amplitude and frequency of the resonator, so the resonator performance of electric toothbrushes needs to be tested in the production process of electric toothbrushes. Electric toothbrushes mainly contain drivers and resonators, and the quality of electric toothbrushes depends largely on the amplitude and frequency of these two.

[0004] At present, this process mostly relies on manual inspection. Each time the probe is used to hold the electric toothbrush, there is a slight deviation in the position, and the accuracy of the amplitude and frequency finally tested is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a detection tooling to meet the requirements of product consistency detection. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric toothbrush detector to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology. The electric toothbrush detector provided by the present invention has the characteristics of being able to automatically detect the amplitude and frequency of the electric toothbrush driver and resonator.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for implementing an electric toothbrush detection machine.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An electric toothbrush detector, comprising a frame, on the upper end of the frame, a human-machine interaction interface is installed, and a test fixture is also installed on the frame. The test fixture includes a bottom plate, in the middle position above the bottom plate, a test bench is installed.

The structure of the second laser displacement sensor assembly is the same as that of the first laser displacement sensor assembly.

[0012] In order to push the resonator to displace, further, the resonator test assembly includes an electric cylinder mounting seat, on the electric cylinder mounting seat, an electric cylinder is installed, on the output end of the electric cylinder, a spring block is installed, and on the spring block, a spring piece is installed.

[0013] In order to limit the movement of the spring piece, further, a limit cylinder is installed above the spring block, and on the output end of the limit cylinder, a limit block is installed.

[0014] In the present invention, further, a method for realizing the electric toothbrush detector includes the following steps:

[0015] (1) The operator places the electric toothbrush on the electric toothbrush placement seat, and the clamping positioning cylinder drives the clamping block to move, so that the electric toothbrush is clamped;

[0016] (2) The ejection cylinder drives the ejection block to be pushed out, so that the pad is in the sharp angle bend of the electric toothbrush bent copper sheet, and the lifting cylinder drives the probe to rise and support the electric toothbrush bent copper sheet. At the same time, the electric cylinder drives the spring sheet to press against one end of the resonator;
