Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention demonstrates a testing mechanism for a height-adjustable desk controller, belonging to the field of controller testing technology. [Background Technology]

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demands for the comfort and convenience of desks also increase. Currently, height-adjustable height-adjustable desks, namely electric height-adjustable desks, have emerged on the market. The core of an electric height-adjustable desk lies in its controller. The desk's lifting, starting, and stopping functions are all controlled by the controller. Therefore, the controller needs to undergo comprehensive functional testing before use. Current testing methods typically involve fixing the controller in place and then using a testing mechanism to connect the wiring terminals and power terminals to the controller's pin header to test the controller's usage status, functions, and technical parameters.

[0003] However, during daily use, electric lifting tables are often moved or tilted. If the controller is activated to raise or lower the table during this process, it may damage the table or even injure the user, posing a safety hazard. The aforementioned testing process cannot detect the controller's usage and function when tilted, resulting in incomplete test results. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing detection methods do not provide perfect detection results for controllers. To this end, a detection mechanism for a height-adjustable table controller is provided, which can detect the controller in a tilted state.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A detection mechanism for a height-adjustable desk controller includes a base and a base plate. The base plate has a positioning part for fixing the controller and a detection part for detecting the controller. The controller has a sensor for detecting the tilt angle of the controller. The detection part includes detection components located on both sides of the positioning part and a first driver for driving the detection components to plug into or separate from the controller. The base plate is rotatably connected to the base, and the base has a second driver for driving the base plate to tilt.

[0007] The beneficial effects of using the present invention are:

[0008] The detection unit of this invention is equipped with two detection components. The first driver simultaneously drives the two detection components to connect or disconnect from the controller, enabling the detection mechanism to simultaneously detect the pin seats on both sides of the controller, which can significantly improve the detection efficiency of this invention. The base plate is rotatably connected to the base. When the detection unit is connected to the controller, the second driver controls the base plate to tilt, allowing the detection mechanism to detect the controller in the tilted state. This can detect whether the controller can stop the lifting function in time when tilted, thereby timely detecting potential safety hazards in the controller, making the controller in use more intelligent and safer, and also improving the detection function of this invention. Secondly, the controller will shake during the swinging process of the base plate, and the detection mechanism can also detect the shaking controller, so that the controller that passes the test has strong shock resistance.

[0009] Preferably, the base plate includes an inclined position and a horizontal position that remains horizontal, and the base plate reciprocates between the inclined position and the horizontal position by a second drive.

[0010] Preferably, the base is provided with a buffer pad to limit excessive swaying of the base plate. By employing the aforementioned technical solution, the buffer pad can limit excessive rotation of the base plate, preventing collisions between the base plate and the base, and also reducing the impact force on the base plate, thereby improving the service life of both the base plate and the base.

[0011] Preferably, the detection component includes a drive base and a detection socket detachably connected to the drive base. The detection socket is equipped with a detection plug for detecting the controller and an adjusting member for adjusting the position of the detection socket. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the adjusting member can adjust the position of the detection socket, thereby enabling the detection plug to match controllers of different specifications, allowing the detection mechanism to detect controllers of different specifications, and thus improving the applicability of the detection mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the drive base is provided with multiple adjustment holes, the arrangement of which is perpendicular to the movement direction of the detection component. The adjustment component includes adjustment bolts that mate with the adjustment holes. By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the horizontal position of the detection plug can be adjusted by inserting the adjustment bolts into the adjustment holes at different positions, thereby meeting the detection requirements of controllers of different specifications.

[0013] Preferably, the detection socket is provided with an oblong hole for the adjustment bolt to pass through, and the length direction of the oblong hole is the same as the arrangement direction of the adjustment holes. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the oblong hole allows for fine-tuning of the detection socket in the horizontal direction, ensuring alignment between the detection plug and the controller, making the connection between the detection plug and the controller smoother, and reducing the possibility of damage to the detection plug and the controller.

[0014] Preferably, the detection socket includes a fixed block and a lifting block that are movably connected. The detection plug is mounted on the lifting block, and the adjusting component includes an adjusting screw that passes through the lifting block and is threadedly engaged with it. The lifting block is raised and lowered by rotating the adjusting screw. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the adjusting screw can adjust the position of the detection plug in the vertical direction, making the adjustment range of the detection plug wider and more comprehensive, improving the flexibility of the detection plug, and further expanding the applicability of the detection mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, the base plate is provided with an adapter socket for storing test plugs. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the adapter socket can store various types of test plugs, thereby meeting the testing needs of controllers of different specifications, improving the testing efficiency of the controllers, and further expanding the applicability of the testing mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a slide rail that is slidably connected to the detection element. The detection part includes a transmission screw that is driven by the first driver. The detection element is provided with a transmission nut that is driven by the transmission screw. The transmission screw simultaneously drives the detection elements on both sides to move closer to or away from the positioning part. By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the transmission screw can simultaneously drive two detection elements to connect with the controller, which can improve the detection efficiency of the detection mechanism and also simplify the overall structure of the detection mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the positioning unit includes a worktable, a pressing component, and a third actuator. The worktable has a groove for accommodating the controller, and the third actuator controls the pressing component to act on the controller and confine the controller within the groove. By employing the aforementioned technical solution, the cooperation between the groove and the pressing component reduces the controller's offset range, improves the controller's positioning stability, and ensures precise alignment between the controller and the detection plug, making the connection between the detection plug and the controller smoother and reducing the possibility of damage to the detection plug and the controller.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment illustrates a detection mechanism for a height-adjustable table controller 6, including a base 1 and a base plate 2. The base plate 2 is provided with a positioning part 4 for fixing the controller 6 and a detection part 3 for detecting the controller 6. The controller 6 is provided with a sensor for detecting the tilt angle of the controller 6. The detection part 3 includes detection components located on both sides of the positioning part 4 and a first driver 33 for driving the detection components to be inserted into or separated from the controller 6. The base plate 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the base 1 is provided with a second driver 11 for driving the base plate 2 to tilt.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the connection between the base plate 2 and the base 1 is provided by a horizontally arranged first rotating shaft 21. The output end of the second driver 11 is rotatably connected to the base plate 2 through the second rotating shaft 22. The first rotating shaft 21 and the second rotating shaft 22 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the base plate 2. The base plate 2 includes an inclined position and a horizontal position. The base plate 2 swings back and forth between the inclined position and the horizontal position through the second driver 11. When the second driver 11 drives the base plate 2 to swing, the base plate 2 swings around the first rotating shaft 21 as the axis, thereby causing the base plate 2 to tilt relative to the horizontal plane. In addition, in this embodiment, the straight-line distance between the first rotating shaft 21 and the second rotating shaft 22 is relatively large, which can significantly increase the swing amplitude of the base plate 2, and also improve the detection requirements of the controller 6. The controller 6 has sensitive sensing ability and stronger shock resistance. In addition, placing the first rotating shaft 21 on the side of the base plate 2 can avoid the base plate 2 from colliding with the base 1 during rotation. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 21 can increase the rotation amplitude of the base plate 2 and reduce the possibility of damage to the base plate 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the detection unit 3 is equipped with two detection components. The first driver 33 simultaneously drives the two detection components to be inserted into or separated from the controller 6, enabling the detection mechanism to simultaneously detect the pin seats on both sides of the controller 6, achieving synchronous multi-functional detection, which can significantly improve the detection efficiency of this embodiment. In addition, the base plate 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. When the detection unit 3 is inserted into the controller 6, the second driver 11 controls the base plate 2 to tilt, thereby simulating the tilt state of the lifting table, so that the detection mechanism can detect the controller 6 in the tilt state. It can detect whether the controller 6 can stop the lifting function in time in the tilt state, thereby timely detecting the safety hazards of the controller 6, so that the controller 6 that passes the test has better safety, and at the same time, it can also make the detection function of the present invention more complete. Secondly, the controller 6 will shake during the swinging process of the base plate 2, and the detection mechanism can also detect the shaking controller 6, so that the controller 6 that passes the test has strong shock resistance.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the detection component in this embodiment includes a drive base 32 and a detection socket 31 detachably connected to the drive base 32. The detection socket 31 is provided with a detection plug 313 for detecting the controller 6 and an adjusting component for adjusting the position of the detection socket 31. The adjusting component can adjust the position of the detection socket 31 so that the detection plug 313 can be matched with controllers 6 of different specifications, enabling the detection mechanism to detect controllers 6 of different specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the detection mechanism.

[0033] In this embodiment, the drive base 32 is provided with multiple adjustment holes, the arrangement of which is perpendicular to the movement direction of the detection component. The adjustment component includes adjustment bolts 3112 that cooperate with the adjustment holes. By inserting the adjustment bolts 3112 into the adjustment holes at different positions, the horizontal position of the detection plug 313 can be adjusted to meet the detection requirements of controllers 6 of different specifications. In addition, the detection socket 31 and the drive base 32 are fixed by the adjustment bolts 3112. When it is necessary to replace the detection plug 313, the adjustment bolts 3112 can be removed to detach the entire detection socket 31 from the drive base 32, and then the detection socket 31 with other types of detection plugs 313 can be replaced. This embodiment can realize the quick replacement of the detection plug 313, which is beneficial to improving detection efficiency.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the detection socket 31 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 3111 through which the adjusting bolt 3112 passes. The length direction of the waist-shaped hole 3111 is the same as the arrangement direction of the adjusting hole. The waist-shaped hole 3111 allows the detection socket 31 to be finely adjusted in the horizontal direction, so that the detection plug 313 and the controller 6 are aligned, making the insertion of the detection plug 313 and the controller 6 smoother and reducing the possibility of damage to the detection plug 313 and the controller 6.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the detection socket 31 in this embodiment includes a fixed block 311 and a lifting block 312 that are movably connected. The detection plug 313 is installed on the lifting block 312. The adjusting component includes an adjusting screw 3121 that passes through the lifting block 312 and is threadedly engaged with the lifting block 312. The lifting block 312 is raised and lowered by rotating the adjusting screw 3121. The adjusting screw 3121 can adjust the position of the detection plug 313 in the vertical direction, making the adjustment range of the detection plug 313 wider and more comprehensive, improving the flexibility of the detection plug 313, and also further improving the applicability of the detection mechanism.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the base plate 2 is provided with an adapter socket 5 for storing the test plug 313. The adapter socket 5 can store various types of test plugs 313 to meet the testing requirements of controllers 6 of different specifications. When it is necessary to replace different types of test plugs 313, they can be obtained directly from the adapter socket 5, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the controller 6 and further expanding the applicability of the testing mechanism.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base plate 2 is provided with a slide rail 35 that is slidably connected to the detection component. The detection part 3 includes a transmission screw 34 that is pulsally connected to the first driver 33. The detection component is provided with a transmission nut 321 that is pulsally connected to the transmission screw 34. The base plate 2 is provided with a bearing seat 36 that is connected to the end of the transmission screw 34. The transmission screw 34 simultaneously drives the detection components on both sides to move closer to or away from the positioning part 4. The transmission screw 34 can simultaneously drive two detection components to be inserted into the controller 6, which can improve the detection efficiency of the detection mechanism and also make the overall structure of the detection mechanism simpler. In addition, the bearing seat 36 can position the transmission screw 34 and also support the axial force and radial rotational force of the transmission screw, making the rotation of the transmission screw 34 more stable.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the output end of the first driver 33 is provided with a driving wheel 331, the transmission screw 34 is provided with a driven wheel 332, and a transmission belt 333 is provided between the driving wheel 331 and the driven wheel 332. The first driver 33 drives the driving wheel 331 to rotate, and the driving wheel 331 drives the driven wheel 332 to rotate through the transmission belt 333. The driven wheel 332 drives the transmission screw 34 to perform transmission, thereby realizing the sliding of the detection piece.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning part 4 in this embodiment includes a worktable 43, a pressing member 42, and a third driver 41. The worktable 43 is provided with a groove for accommodating the controller 6. The third driver 41 controls the pressing member 42 to act on the controller 6 and restrict the controller 6 within the groove. Through the cooperation between the groove and the pressing member 42, the offset range of the controller 6 can be reduced, the positioning stability of the controller 6 can be improved, and the controller 6 can also maintain precise docking with the detection plug 313, making the insertion of the detection plug 313 and the controller 6 smoother and reducing the possibility of damage to the detection plug 313 and the controller 6.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a buffer pad 12 for limiting the excessive rotation of the base plate 2. The buffer pad 12 can limit the excessive rotation of the base plate 2, avoid the collision between the base plate 2 and the base 1, and also reduce the impact force on the base plate 2, thereby improving the service life of the base plate 2 and the base 1.

[0041] The detection process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] Place the controller 6 into the groove of the workbench 43 and press the button to start the controller 6. At this time, the positioning part 4 is activated, and the third driver 41 controls the pressing part 42 to restrict the controller 6 in the groove. Then the first driver 33 is activated. The first driver 33 drives the detection parts on both sides to move closer to each other through the transmission screw 34 and inserts the detection plug 313 into the controller 6 to start the detection of the controller 6. After that, the second driver 11 is activated. The output end of the second driver 11 pushes the base plate 2, causing the base plate 2 to swing back and forth between the horizontal position and the inclined position. The detection mechanism detects the controller 6 during the swing process. After that, the second driver 11 is turned off, causing the base plate 2 to swing back until the base plate 2 contacts the buffer pad 12, and the test ends.

[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above.
