[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a fixture for drop test, comprising a base 1 and a lifting mechanism 4, an outer frame 2 is fixed on the top of the base 1, an inner frame 3 is slidably sleeved inside the outer frame 2, the lifting mechanism 4 is installed in a built-in groove of the outer frame 2 close to the inner frame 3, and one side of the lifting mechanism 4 is connected to the inner frame 3, the other side of the lifting mechanism 4 is located in the built-in groove of the base 1, an adjusting mechanism 8 is connected to one side of the inner frame 3, a No. 2 motor 10 is connected to one side of the adjusting mechanism 8, a U-shaped frame 5 is connected to one end of the adjusting mechanism 8 away from the No. 2 motor 10, cylinders 6 are installed on both sides of the U-shaped frame 5, a moving plate 7 is connected to one side of the cylinder 6, and a clamping mechanism 9 is installed on one side of the moving plate 7.

[0025] according to Figure 2As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a screw 401 and a motor 402. The screw 401 is installed in the built-in groove of the outer frame 2 through a bearing. The screw 401 and the inner frame 3 are threadedly connected. The two ends of the inner frame 3 are located in the inner wall slide groove of the outer frame 2. One end of the screw 401 is connected to the motor 402, and the motor 402 is located in the built-in groove of the base 1.

[0026] In specific implementation, in the drop test, the workpiece or object needs to be raised to a certain height for the drop test. The No. 1 motor 402 can be started to drive the screw 401 to rotate, and then the inner frame 3 moves upward on the screw 401. At the same time, the two sides of the inner frame 3 slide upward in the reserved grooves on the inner wall of the outer frame 2, so that the workpiece or object can be quickly raised.

[0027] according to Figure 1-4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 8 includes a screw rod 801, a movable frame 802, a gear 803 and a connecting rod 804. The screw rod 801 is installed in the reserved groove at one end of the inner frame 3 through a bearing, and the movable frame 802 is threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the screw rod 801. One end of the screw rod 801 is connected to the second motor 10. A connecting rod 804 is installed on one side of the inner frame 3 through a bearing, and one end of the connecting rod 804 is connected to the U-shaped frame 5. The outer side of the connecting rod 804 is fixedly sleeved with a gear 803, and one side of the movable frame 802 is meshed with the gear 803.

[0028] In specific implementation, since the clamping angles of some drop test fixtures are not easy to adjust, when drop tests are to be performed on different surfaces of a workpiece or object, the staff is required to manually adjust the workpiece and then clamp it, which is not very convenient. When the clamping angle of the workpiece or object is required, the No. 2 motor 10 can be started to drive the screw rod 801 to rotate, and then the moving frame 802 moves to one side on the screw rod 801. At the same time, the rack under the moving frame 802 engages with the gear 803 and drives the gear 803 to rotate. Then the gear 803 causes the connecting rod 804 to drive the U-shaped frame 5 to rotate. The angle of the fixture can be quickly adjusted, which is convenient for drop tests on different aspects of the workpiece or object, thereby improving the convenience of the drop test fixture.

[0029] according to Figure 4-6As shown, the clamping mechanism 9 includes an electric telescopic rod 901, a No. 1 clamping plate 902, a rotating shaft 903, a support plate 904 and a No. 2 clamping plate 905. The support plate 904 is installed in the middle of the reserved groove of the movable plate 7, and a rotating shaft 903 is fixed to one end of the support plate 904. The outer side of the rotating shaft 903 is movably sleeved with the No. 1 clamping plate 902 and the No. 2 clamping plate 905. The two ends of the movable plate 7 are connected with the electric telescopic rod 901 through a movable shaft, and one end of the electric telescopic rod 901 is connected with the No. 1 clamping plate 902 and the No. 2 clamping plate 905 through a movable shaft. One side of the No. 1 clamping plate 902 and the No. 2 clamping plate 905 are provided with concave and convex surfaces.

[0030] In specific implementation, most workpieces or objects may be of irregular shapes, and ordinary clamping plates cannot stably clamp the workpieces or objects, which may easily cause the workpieces or objects to accidentally slip, reducing the accuracy of the drop test. When clamping the workpieces or objects, the cylinder 6 can be started to push the moving plate 7 to one side, so that the moving plate 7 drives the first clamping plate 902 and the second clamping plate 905 to clamp on both sides of the workpiece or object. Then, the positions of the first clamping plate 902 and the second clamping plate 905 can be adjusted according to the irregular shapes of the two sides of the workpiece or object. The telescopic rod 901 pushes the No. 1 splint 902 or the No. 2 splint 905 to one side, and at the same time, the No. 1 splint 902 or the No. 2 splint 905 will rotate around the rotating axis 903. After the electric telescopic rod 901 pushes the No. 1 splint 902 or the No. 2 splint 905 to a suitable angle, the No. 1 splint 902 or the No. 2 splint 905 is pressed against both sides of the workpiece or object, and the concave and convex surface on one side of the No. 1 splint 902 or the No. 2 splint 905 increases the friction, improves the clamping stability, and improves the practicality or test accuracy of the tooling fixture for the drop test.

[0031] Working principle: When using this kind of drop test fixture, first, the workpiece or object is stably clamped by the clamping mechanism 9, and then the height of the inner frame 3 is adjusted according to the drop test height, and the inner frame 3 is raised to a suitable height by the lifting mechanism 4, and then the drop test is performed, and the clamping of the workpiece or object is canceled by the clamping mechanism 9, so that the workpiece or object falls from a height to detect the anti-fall performance of the workpiece or object. During the detection process, the clamping angle can be adjusted at any time, and the inclination angle of the U-shaped frame 5 can be quickly adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 8, so as to facilitate the drop test of the workpiece or object in different aspects, thereby improving the convenience or test accuracy of the drop test fixture.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
