[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but these specific embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0019] Example 1 like Figure 1-4 As shown, an automated testing device for a connector frame 11 includes a main frame 1, a testing machine located inside the main frame 1, and an electrical control console 2 for controlling the testing machine. The testing machine includes an execution mechanism and a test mounting mechanism. The test mounting mechanism includes a mounting guide rail 3 for mounting a clamping mechanism 4, a clamping mechanism 4 for clamping the connector frame 11, and a transmission mechanism 5 that is connected to the clamping mechanism 4. The execution mechanism includes a clamping mechanism 6 that clamps the transmission mechanism 5, a linkage mechanism 7, a force measuring mechanism, a translation mechanism 9, and a servo motor 10 that are sequentially connected to the clamping mechanism 6. The servo motor 10 controls the translation mechanism 9 and the force measuring mechanism to drive the linkage mechanism 7 to rotate and the clamping mechanism 6 to swing.

[0020] The beneficial effects that the above scheme can achieve are: By controlling the movement of the translation mechanism 9 and the force measuring mechanism with the servo motor 10, the actuator is automatically controlled, and the connector performance is automatically tested. This greatly improves the testing efficiency, reduces the need for manual intervention, avoids the influence of operator skill level and subjective factors, reduces the error of test results, and ensures the consistency and reliability of test results.

[0021] In this embodiment, the mounting guide rail 3 is set inside the main frame 1. Specifically, two mounting guide rails 3 are arranged side by side on the top surface of the main frame 1 and fixed to the top surface with screws. The mounting guide rail 3 is provided with a number of mounting holes for mounting the clamping mechanism 4.

[0022] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a fixed base plate 41, a vertically floating top plate 42, and guide rail clamps 43 that control the vertical floating of the top plate 42 on the base plate 41. The two guide rail clamps 43 clamp the base plate 41 and the top plate 42. Cylindrical guide members 44 are provided on both sides of the top plate 42. Correspondingly, guide rail clamps 43 have guide rail grooves 45 that mate with the guide members 44. A rotating connector 46 is provided below the guide rail clamps 43. One end of the rotating connector 46 is rotatably connected to the guide rail clamps 43, and the other end is rotatably connected to the transmission mechanism 5. The vertical floating of the top plate 42 is achieved through the guide members 44 and the guide rail grooves 45, optimizing the problem of precise clamping force control that is difficult to achieve with traditional clamping mechanisms 4. The connector frame 11 can maintain an appropriate clamping force when clamped, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the testing process.

[0023] The transmission mechanism 5 includes a support plate 51 mounted under the base plate 41 and a rotating rod 52 connected to the guide rail clamping plate 43 via a rotating connector 46. The other end of the rotating rod 52 is provided with a fixed handle 53. In use, the fixed handle 53 is clamped in the clamping mechanism 6. By placing the fixed handle 53 in the clamping mechanism 6, the stability of the transmission mechanism 5 is enhanced, thereby improving the reliability of the overall testing device and solving the problem of insufficient stability of the transmission mechanism 5 in the prior art.

[0024] The clamping mechanism 6 includes a floating chuck 61, which contains flexible materials such as sponge pads and rubber blocks to reduce wear on the fixed handle 53. The floating chuck 61 is connected to a linkage mechanism 7, which includes a rotating arm 71 and a movable arm 72. The rotating arm 71 is an obtuse-angled rotating arm, and its rotation center is mounted on the central rotation axis of the fixed base 73. The other end of the rotating arm 71 is connected to a movable arm 72 via a rotating axis. The movable arm 72 is connected to a force measuring mechanism, specifically a force sensor 8. The force sensor 8 is S-shaped and has a sampling accuracy of ±0.1 kg / N. The other end of the force sensor 8 is hinged to a slider 81. By setting the force sensor 8, a multi-dimensional performance evaluation capability is introduced, enabling the equipment to perform more comprehensive connector stress performance testing, revealing the true performance of the connector under different stress conditions, and solving the problem that traditional manual testing methods cannot meet the needs of multi-dimensional evaluation.

[0025] The translation mechanism 9 is located below the movable arm 72. The translation mechanism 9 includes an electric base 91 with a track groove, and a servo motor 10 is connected to the other end of the electric base 91. An electric slide 92 is mounted on the track groove. Under the program control of the external control console 2, the electric slide 92 is controlled by the servo motor 10. The servo motor 10 controls the stroke, speed, and frequency of the electric slide 92 on the track groove. The servo motor 10 drives the electric slide 92 to rotate the floating chuck 61 back and forth, and clamps the fixed handle 53, rotating it 90° back and forth to perform the testing task. During the test, the force exerted by the force sensors 8 is monitored, and a force curve is generated. Based on the force curve, the connector frame 11 is locally or entirely modified.

[0026] By controlling the movement of the translation mechanism 9 and the force measuring mechanism through the servo motor 10, the rotation of the linkage mechanism 7 and the swaying of the clamping mechanism 6 are driven, which solves the problems of the complexity of operation and control difficulty of the actuator in the prior art and improves the efficiency and accuracy of testing. In addition, by monitoring the force information collected by the force sensor 8 and forming the force curve, the connector frame 11 can be improved locally or as a whole. This allows the test results to be directly used to improve the design of the connector frame 11, realizing effective feedback and optimization, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connector performance.

[0027] The working principle and method of the above-mentioned automated testing equipment for connector frames are as follows: 1. Place the connector frame to be tested between the top and bottom plates of the clamping mechanism and make precise fine adjustments to ensure that the connector frame is securely clamped in the clamping mechanism; 2. Set the required test parameters on the control panel, such as the applied force, number of tests, speed, etc., and monitor and adjust them at any time during the test; 3. Start the control panel to activate the servo motor, which will cause the electric slide to begin moving. The movement of the electric slide will cause the floating chuck to deflect and clamp the fixed handle, rotating it 90°. 4. During testing, the stroke, speed, and frequency of the electric slide are controlled by a servo motor on the track groove. The servo motor drives the electric slide to rotate the floating chuck back and forth and clamp the fixed handle to rotate 90° back and forth to perform the test task. When the fixed handle rotates 90° back and forth, the guide component moves up and down along the fixed track in the guide groove of the guide clamp plate, which drives the top plate of the clamping mechanism to apply force to the bottom plate. The force sensor will monitor the force on the connector frame in real time and generate a force curve. 5. Analyze the stress curve and observe the performance of the connector frame at different stress stages. If the curve is abnormal or there are obvious problems at certain stress points, then decide whether it is necessary to make local or overall improvements to the connector frame.
