Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric cooker detection, in particular to an electric cooker button convex height detection tool. Background Art
[0002] Electric rice cookers are also called electric pots or rice cookers. They are cookers that convert electrical energy into internal energy. They are easy to use, clean and hygienic, and have multiple functions such as steaming, boiling, stewing and simmering food. Common electric rice cookers are divided into three categories: automatic heat preservation type, timed heat preservation type and new microcomputer controlled type. Now they have become daily household appliances. The invention of electric rice cookers has reduced the time many families spend on cooking. Electric rice cookers need to be tested during production.
[0003] For example, the "automatic detection equipment for an electric rice cooker" with the publication number "CN220040615U" includes a frame, on which are provided a fixing device, a camera recognition device and a hand clamping device; the fixing device is used to fix the electric rice cooker; the camera recognition device is used to photograph the electric rice cooker and identify whether the photographed image contains the power slot position of the electric rice cooker; the hand clamping device includes an XYZ moving mechanism and a hand clamping mechanism, and the hand clamping mechanism is arranged at the Z-moving end of the XYZ moving mechanism; the present application utilizes the camera recognition device to first identify the power slot position of the electric rice cooker in the photographed image, and then acts on the position of the power cord through the XYZ moving mechanism and the hand clamping mechanism, thereby completing the automatic power-on and power-off operations of the electric rice cooker, thereby completing subsequent detection work related to input parameters such as input power and input current of the electric rice cooker, which can reduce manual labor intensity and improve detection efficiency.
[0004] However, the above patent does not detect the rice cooker buttons. If the rice cooker buttons are empty or sunken, the production quality of the rice cooker will be affected. In view of this, we propose a tool for detecting the height of the convex hull of the rice cooker buttons. Utility Model Content

The hollow tube is driven upward by an electric telescopic rod. When the ejector pin of the sleeve rod contacts the bracket, the ejector pin of the sleeve rod pushes the bracket downward, and the bracket drives the stylus to move, thereby causing the stylus to drive the slider to slide along the slide groove, thereby resetting the stylus to facilitate subsequent detection operations.

On the contrary, the hollow tube is driven upward by the electric telescopic rod. When the sleeve rod ejector pin contacts the bracket, the sleeve rod ejector pin pushes the bracket downward, and the bracket drives the stylus to move, so that the stylus drives the slider to slide along the slide groove, so that the stylus is reset, which is convenient for subsequent detection operations.
