[0025] The operation mode of the test machine is as follows: first, move the slide rod 31 to make the clamping piece 32 clamped under the lower end of the tappet 21, fix the tappet 21, move the shell frame 42 along the guide rod 41 to make the shell frame 42 away from the tappet 21 at a height, fix the test cam 5 to be tested at the cam fixing shaft 441 of the driving motor 44, extend the telescopic rod 45, and rotate the test cam 5, when the elastic pin 451 is clamped into the said sink groove 51, the arc surface of the test cam 5 faces the said tappet 21, then move the shell frame 42 downward, the shell frame 42 drives the cam to move towards the tappet 21, the arc surface of the test cam 5 contacts the end surface of the tappet 21, the position of the shell frame 42 is limited, at this time, the shell frame 42 is fixed at this position through the locking part 43, the slide rod 31 and the telescopic rod 45 are retracted, and the test of the test cam 5 can be started.

In this structure, through the rotation of the rotating motor 435 and the threaded connection, the movement of the chute strip 433 can be realized by the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating motor 435, and through the threaded locking, the chute strip 433 is fixed at any position, avoiding the movement of the locking rack 432 on the chute strip 433.

[0033] In a further scheme, as Figure 2 , the shell frame 42 is provided with a driving electric cylinder 47, the driving electric cylinder 47 is connected with the telescopic rod 45, the driving electric cylinder 47 drives the telescopic rod 45 to extend and retract, the driving electric cylinder 47 can quickly drive the telescopic rod 45 to extend and retract, realizing the positioning of the elastic pin 451 to the test cam 5.

[0034] In a further scheme, the clamping piece 32 is in a U-shaped structure, the end face edge of the clamping piece 32 towards the tappet 21 is chamfered, the U-shaped clamping piece 32 can stably support the bottom end of the tappet 21, and the chamfered end face of the tappet 21 can avoid interference when the clamping piece 32 is inserted into the lower end of the tappet 21.
