[0027] In order to fully understand the present invention, a detailed structure will be proposed in the following description to illustrate the technical solution proposed by the present invention. The optional embodiments of the present invention are described in detail as follows, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other implementations.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automated drop hammer impact test device for preventing secondary impact for lighting products includes a platform 10 for placing a sample to be tested. Because the platform 10 is used for impact testing of lighting products, a nylon plate is preferably used. Parameters such as the hardness and thickness of the nylon plate are selected according to standard requirements. It also includes a first liftable slider 1, a clamping part 2, a quick-release bracket 3, a sleeve 4, a drop hammer 8 and an arc-shaped electromagnet 11. The clamping part 2 is connected to the first liftable slider 1 and clamps the quick-release bracket 3. A vertical sleeve 4 is installed in the quick-release bracket 3. A drop hammer 8 is arranged at the upper inlet of the sleeve 4. An arc-shaped electromagnet 11 is arranged on one side of the lower part of the sleeve 4. The lower outlet of the sleeve 4 faces the sample 9 to be tested. The arc-shaped electromagnet 11 controls the power on and off through the wireless vibration triggering suction module 12. The arc-shaped electromagnet 11 and the wireless vibration triggering suction module 12 are both fixedly arranged on the quick-release bracket 3. A wireless vibration sensor 13 communicating with the wireless vibration triggering suction module 12 is arranged on the surface of the sample 9 to be tested. An adjusting screw 5 for adjusting the verticality of the sleeve 4 is arranged at the lower part of the quick-release bracket 3. The adjusting screw 5 is connected to the second liftable slider 6. The first liftable slider 1 and the second liftable slider 6 are movably mounted on a vertically arranged guide rod.

[0029] In one embodiment, an electromagnetic telescopic module 14 and an electromagnetic telescope 15 are also provided on the quick-release bracket 3. The electromagnetic telescopic module 14 controls the telescopic rod of the electromagnetic telescope 15 to extend so that the telescopic rod of the electromagnetic telescope 15 can extend into the sleeve 4 to block the falling hammer 8. During the impact test, the telescopic rod of the electromagnetic telescope 15 is retracted, and the falling hammer 8 falls in a free fall motion.

[0030] In one embodiment, a distance measuring sensor 16 is provided on the sleeve 4, which is used to monitor the distance between the starting point of the falling hammer 8 and the surface of the sample 9 to be tested, so as to know the falling height of the falling hammer 8 during the impact test.

[0031] In one embodiment, a tilt sensor 26 for monitoring the verticality of the sleeve 4 is provided on the sleeve 4. According to the monitored value of the verticality of the sleeve 4, the sleeve 4 can be quickly adjusted to the vertical direction by adjusting the horizontal length of the adjusting screw 5.

[0032] In one embodiment, a gear belt 7 is installed on the guide rod, and the first liftable slider 1 and the second liftable slider 6 are fixedly installed on the gear belt 7. The gear belt 7 is connected to the motor 17 through a gear set 18. The motor 17 generally adopts a stepping motor. The motor 17 drives the gear belt 7 to move, and the height of the first liftable slider 1 and the second liftable slider 6 can be synchronously adjusted, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the height of the quick-release bracket 3, and adjusting the height of the drop hammer 8 in the sleeve 4 to the drop height required for the test. In other embodiments, the height adjustment of the first liftable slider 1 and the second liftable slider 6 can also be achieved by a screw transmission mechanism or the like.

[0033] In one embodiment, the motor 17 is installed in a control box 19, and a battery 20 and an intelligent control module 21 are also installed in the control box 19. A power switch 22, a display 23 and an alarm 24 are also provided on the outer wall of the control box 19. The intelligent control module 21 continuously monitors the current height data of the distance sensor 16 and calls the mass of the drop weight 8 pre-entered into the test system, calculates the current impact energy value, and compares it with the preset required impact energy value. The motor 17 drives the gear belt 7 to move to adjust the height of the sleeve 4 and the drop weight 8 until the required impact energy is reached and stops working, thereby achieving the purpose of automated testing.

[0034] In one embodiment, a leveling support 25 is provided at the bottom of the control box 19 for adjusting the horizontality of the control box 19, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the guide rod, and cooperating with the adjusting screw 5 to adjust the sleeve 4 to the vertical direction.

[0035] In one embodiment, the clamping portion 2 is an adjustable annular steel hoop, the shape of the quick-release bracket 3 is set to be cylindrical, and the quick-release bracket 3 can be disassembled by loosening the annular steel hoop. The sleeve 4 can be set to a replaceable structure according to the test requirements, which is movably placed inside the quick-release bracket 3. The sleeve 4 can be replaced while loosening the annular steel hoop. In the initial state, the lower edge of the sleeve 4 is generally about 10 mm away from the surface of the sample to be tested. During the test, press the power switch 22, the battery 20 supplies power, the display 23 and the intelligent control module 21 are powered on for self-test. At this time, if the verticality parameter of the sleeve 4 read by the inclination sensor 26 exceeds the preset range, the alarm 24 starts the alarm. The sleeve 4 can be adjusted to a vertical state by adjusting the screw 5 and the leveling support 25. Afterwards, the intelligent control module 21 calls the mass of the drop hammer 8 preset by the system and the local gravity acceleration, and reads the current drop height of the drop hammer 8 through the distance sensor 16, automatically calculates the impact energy value of the current free fall of the drop hammer 8, compares the calculated value with the impact energy value required for the test, and then adjusts the height of the first liftable slider 1 and the second liftable slider 6 so that the calculated value is finally equal to the impact energy value required for the test. The adjustment process before the impact test is automatically completed. The intelligent control module 21 sends a switch command to start the test. After the electromagnetic telescopic module 14 obtains the command signal, it controls the telescopic rod of the electromagnetic telescopic device 15 to retract instantly, and the drop hammer 8 falls. When the drop hammer 8 impacts the surface of the sample 9 to be tested and rebounds, the wireless vibration sensor 13 sends a signal, the wireless vibration triggers the suction module 12 contactor to receive the signal and its contactor is closed, the arc electromagnet 11 is energized to attract the drop hammer 8, and the drop hammer 8 is fixed, so that there will be no secondary impact on the sample 9 to be tested.

[0036] It is advisable to adopt enclosure measures at the test site, such as using acrylic baffles, and non-related test personnel should evacuate to a range of 2 meters.

[0037] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
