[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a first embodiment is provided: an automated testing instrument for atomizer main units, comprising a pushing mechanism 2, an atomizer main unit fixing mechanism 3, and a water circulation mechanism 4, wherein the water circulation mechanism 4 includes a water circulation device and an atomizing head 42 installed inside the water circulation device; the atomizer main unit fixing mechanism 3 is provided with an atomizer main unit placement groove 31 for placing the atomizer main unit 5 and a contact connector 32 having elastic contacts 321, the contact connector 32 enabling electrical connection between the electrode contacts 52 of the atomizer main unit 5 and the atomizing head 42; the pushing mechanism 2 includes a first-stage pushing mechanism 22 and a second-stage pushing mechanism 23, the first-stage pushing mechanism 22 including a first... The first-stage push drive unit and the first push plate 221 connected to the first-stage push drive unit are included. The second-stage push mechanism 23 includes a second-stage push drive unit, a second push plate 231 connected to the second-stage push drive unit, and a power plug 233 disposed on the second push plate 231. The first-stage push mechanism 22 can push the first push plate 221 to push the electrode contacts 52 of the atomizer host 5 placed on the atomizer host placement groove 31 to press against the elastic contacts 321 of the contact connector 32. The second-stage push mechanism 23 can push the power plug 233 on the second push plate 231 to insert into the power socket 51 of the atomizer host 5 placed on the atomizer host placement groove 31.

[0045] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the first pusher plate 221 can be pushed out by the first-stage pusher drive unit, so that the first pusher plate 221 pushes the electrode contacts 52 of the atomizer host 5 on the atomizer host placement groove 31 to press against the elastic contacts 321 of the contact connector 32, thereby fixing the atomizer host 5 and the electrical connection between the atomizer host 5 and the atomizing head 42. The second pusher plate 231 can be pushed out by the second-stage pusher drive unit, so that the power plug 233 on the second pusher plate 231 is inserted into the atomizer host placed in the atomizer host placement groove 31. The power socket 51 of the device 5 enables power supply to the atomizer host 5. By pressing the button, the lifting drive unit can lower the button head and press the button 53 of the atomizer host 5 placed in the atomizer host placement groove 31, thereby realizing button control of the atomizer host 5. This allows for subsequent testing of the atomizer host 5, realizing automated testing of the atomizer host 5, improving the testing efficiency of the atomizer host 5, saving testing time, and adding a water circulation device to recycle the water mist after atomization by the atomizing head 42, thus saving water.

[0046] It should be noted that the first-stage push drive unit and the second-stage push drive unit can be driven by cylinders, but are not limited to this. As long as translational push drive can be achieved, linear motors or motor-screw combinations can be used.

[0047] It should be noted that the atomizer host placement groove 31 can be used to place the atomizer host 5, and when the atomizer host 5 is pushed, it can also guide the movement direction of the atomizer host 5.

[0048] It should be noted that the end face of the contact connector 32 has two elastic contacts 321, corresponding to the two electrode contacts 52 of the atomizer host 5. By pushing the electrode contacts 52 of the atomizer host 5 on the atomizer host placement groove 31 with the first push plate 221, the atomizer host 5 can be pressed against the elastic contacts 321 of the contact connector 32, which can enable the atomizer host 5 to make a quick electrical connection with the atomizing head 42 and maintain a reliable electrical connection at all times during the test.

[0049] It should be noted that the power socket 51 of the atomizer host 5 can be a USB port, and the power plug 233 on the second push plate 231 can be a USB plug.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the water circulation device includes a water tank 41, a partition plate 45, a water-absorbing rod 44, and a water vapor recovery pipe 43. The partition plate 45 is disposed inside the water tank 41 and divides the water tank 41 into an upper spray chamber 415 and a lower water storage chamber 416. The atomizing head 42 is disposed on the partition plate 45 and located inside the upper spray chamber 415. The atomizing head 42 is connected to the water-absorbing rod 44. The bottom of the water-absorbing rod 44 is disposed inside the lower water storage chamber 416. The inlet of the water vapor recovery pipe 43 is suspended directly above the atomizing head 42.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the inlet of the water vapor recovery pipe 43 is a funnel-shaped inlet 431, the outlet of the water vapor recovery pipe 43 is located inside the lower water storage cavity 416, and the middle partition 45 is provided with a water passage hole 451 connecting the upper spray cavity 415 and the lower water storage cavity 416.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the partition plate 45 is horizontally positioned.

[0053] It should be noted that the water tank 41 is divided into an upper spray chamber 415 and a lower water storage chamber 416 by the partition 45. The upper spray chamber 415 is used to install the atomizing head 42 and the water vapor recovery pipe 43. When the detector is working, the atomizing head 42 draws water from the lower water storage chamber 416 of the water tank 41 into the atomizing head 42 through the water suction rod 44, and generates water mist. The water mist is drawn into the water vapor recovery pipe 43 and returns to the lower water storage chamber 416 of the water tank 41. The remaining water mist that escapes condenses into water droplets after contacting the side wall of the water tank 41. Then, it drips back into the lower water storage chamber 416 of the water tank 41 through the water passage hole 451 on the partition 45, completing one cycle. This process is repeated, and the water loss is very small.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the water tank 41 is a transparent water tank, the side of the water tank 41 is provided with a water tank inlet 411, the water tank inlet 411 is connected to an inlet cover plate 412, the bottom of the water tank 41 is provided with a water tank outlet 413, the water tank outlet 413 is provided with an outlet cover plate 414, and the middle partition plate 45 is horizontally arranged.

[0055] It should be noted that the use of a transparent water tank allows for easy observation of the atomization of the atomizing head 42 and the remaining water level in the water tank 41. The inlet cover 412 covers the water tank inlet 411 to prevent water mist in the water tank 41 from escaping to the outside through the water tank inlet 411. When the water level in the water tank 41 is low, water can be added through the water tank inlet 411. When necessary, the water in the water tank 41 can also be emptied through the water tank outlet 413.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the atomizer host fixing mechanism 3 includes an atomizer host fixing body 34 and a button pressing mechanism 33 mounted on the atomizer host fixing body 34. The atomizer host placement groove 31 is disposed on the atomizer host fixing body 34.

The button pressing mechanism 33 includes a button pressing lifting drive part and a button pressing head connected to the button pressing lifting drive part. The button pressing lifting drive part can drive the button pressing head to descend and press the button 53 of the atomizer host 5 placed on the atomizer host placement groove 31, such as the power button of the atomizer host 5.

[0057] It should be noted that the button head can be lowered by pressing the lifting drive unit and press the button 53 of the atomizer host 5 placed on the atomizer host placement groove 31. For example, the power button of the atomizer host 5 can be pressed to realize the power on / off control of the atomizer host 5. After the atomizer host 5 is turned on, an electrical signal can be sent to the atomizing head 42 through the contact connector 32 and the atomizer cable 46 to control the operation of the atomizing head 42.

[0058] It should be noted that the button pressing lifting drive can be driven by a cylinder, but it is not limited to this. As long as the lifting drive can be achieved, it is acceptable. For example, a linear motor or a combination of motor and lead screw can be used.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the pushing mechanism 2 further includes a pushing mechanism housing 21. The pushing mechanism housing 21 has a first push plate slide 212. The first push plate 221 is disposed within the first push plate slide 212 of the pushing mechanism housing 21 and slides in cooperation with the first push plate slide 212. The first push plate 221 is provided with a second push plate slide 223. The second push plate 231 is disposed within the second push plate slide 223 of the first push plate 221 and slides in cooperation with the second push plate slide 223. The first push plate 221 is provided with a power plug clearance through hole 222 for the power plug 233 to pass through.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the outer shell 21 of the pushing mechanism is a square shell 211, the first push plate 221 is a square shell, and the second push plate 231 is square.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, taking the insertion direction of the power socket 51 of the atomizer host 5 as the X-axis, the +X-axis direction is the insertion direction and the -X-axis direction is the extraction direction. The opening of the first push plate slide 212 of the push mechanism housing 21 faces the X-axis direction, the opening of the second push plate slide 223 of the first push plate 221 faces the -X-axis direction, and the side of the second push plate 231 in the +X-axis direction is provided with a boss 232 protruding along the +X-axis. The power plug 233 is disposed on the boss 232.

[0062] It should be noted that the outer shell 21 of the pushing mechanism, the first push plate 221 and the second push plate 231 can adopt a nested structure to save space, but it is not limited to this nested structure. It can also be stacked or other methods, as long as the pushing action can be achieved.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the atomizer host placement groove 31 has two or more, the contact connector 32 corresponds one-to-one with the atomizer host placement groove 31, the power socket 51 corresponds one-to-one with the atomizer host placement groove 31, and the atomizing head 42 corresponds one-to-one with the contact connector 32.

[0064] It should be noted that, in order to improve testing efficiency, this embodiment is equipped with five atomizer host placement grooves 31, five power sockets 51, five contact connectors 32 and five atomizing heads 42 to realize automated testing of five atomizer hosts 5, but it is not limited to this, and the number of atomizer host placement grooves 31 can be adjusted as needed.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the atomizer host automatic testing instrument further includes a host controller 1. The host controller 1 includes a host housing 11 and a control board disposed within the host housing 11. The pushing mechanism 2, the atomizer host fixing mechanism 3, and the water circulation mechanism 4 are respectively installed on the host housing 11.

[0066] It should be noted that the control board is used to implement test control.

[0067] It should be noted that the main unit housing 11 is designed for security and installation of other mechanisms, and the main unit housing 11 can be made of metal cabinet.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the front end of the main unit casing 11 is provided with a sloping panel 15, the sloping panel 15 is provided with a display screen 14 and a power switch 12, and the left and right sides of the main unit casing 11 are respectively provided with two-hand safety start buttons 13.

[0069] It should be noted that the use of a slanted panel 15 is ergonomic and makes it easier for the operator to observe the information on the display screen 14.

[0070] It should be noted that the display screen 14 can be used to display test information and also for human-computer interaction to set relevant test parameters.

[0071] It should be noted that a power switch 12 is designed on the sloping panel 15, which can be manually turned on when needed.

[0072] It should be noted that two double-hand safety start buttons 13 are provided on the left and right sides of the main unit casing 11. If testing is required, the operator must press both double-hand safety start buttons 13 at the same time to start the instrument, in order to avoid accidental operation caused by accidentally touching the switch.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a first solution is provided: an automated testing method for atomizer main units, which performs the following testing process for atomizer main units based on the aforementioned automated atomizer main unit testing instrument:

[0074] S1. Place the atomizer host 5 into the atomizer host placement groove 31;

[0075] S2. The first-stage push drive unit pushes out the first push plate 221, so that the first push plate 221 pushes the electrode contact 52 of the atomizer host 5 on the atomizer host placement groove 31 to press against the elastic contact 321 of the contact connector 32, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the atomizer host 5 and the atomizing head 42.

[0076] S3. The second-stage push drive unit pushes out the second push plate 231, so that the power plug 233 on the second push plate 231 is inserted into the power socket 51 of the atomizer host 5 placed in the atomizer host placement groove 31, thereby realizing the power supply connection to the atomizer host 5.

[0077] S4. The button pressing lifting drive unit drives the button press head to descend and press the button 53 of the atomizer host 5 placed on the atomizer host placement groove 31, realizing the function control of the atomizer host 5. For example, it can be the power button of the atomizer host 5 to realize the power-on of the atomizer host 5. After power-on, the control board performs various tests on the atomizer host 5. When a product function abnormality is detected, the detector will automatically alarm and display it on the display screen 14. After all tests are completed, the second push plate 231 and the first push plate 221 retract one after the other to enter the next cycle test.

[0078] The present invention provides an automated testing instrument and method for atomizer main units, which can automatically perform testing of atomizer main units. The operator only needs to place the atomizer main unit 5 into the atomizer main unit placement groove 31 and press the two double-hand safety start buttons 13 at the same time. The testing instrument will automatically perform a series of actions, including fixing the atomizer main unit 5 and pressing the electrode contacts 52 of the atomizer main unit 5 onto the elastic contacts 321 of the contact connector 32, inserting the power plug 233, and pressing the power switch button of the atomizer main unit 5. In addition, the testing instrument is designed with a water circulation mechanism 4. Once clean water is added, it can work continuously for about one month, saving the time of manual water changing.

[0079] The automated testing instrument and method for atomizer main units provided by this invention have the following advantages:

[0081] 2. The power source for the first-stage pushing mechanism 22, the second-stage pushing mechanism 23, and the button pressing mechanism 33 can be a cylinder or an electric motor, and the type is not limited;

[0082] 3. The water circulation mechanism 4 actively draws water mist using the water vapor recovery pipe 43 to avoid severe fogging in the water tank 41, which would affect the observation of the atomization effect. It can also keep the water in the water tank 41 for a long time and reduce the water replacement time.

[0083] 4. The water tank 41 features a transparent design, allowing for easy viewing of the atomization effect;

[0084] 5. The machine has a compact structure, is small and lightweight, and can be placed on the production line for on-line testing;

[0085] 6. Automated testing of multiple atomizer main units 5 can be realized. This embodiment adopts a 5-station design, which can realize automated testing of 5 atomizer main units 5. The number of stations can be increased or decreased according to actual production needs to achieve optimization.
