The relay connector 7 is provided with coil pins and normally open contact pins corresponding to the relay 6 to be tested. Of course, the relay connector 7 can adopt a relay base that matches the relay 6 to be tested. The DC power supply module 1 is electrically connected to the coil pins of the relay connector 7 through the time controller 5, and the normally open contact pins of the relay connector 7 are electrically connected to the input end of the counter 4, and the DC power supply module 1 is electrically connected to the power supply end of the counter 4. The test panel 3 is provided with a clamping mechanism 8 for clamping the relay 6 to be tested.

[0025] Working process: The power supply is controlled on and off by the time controller 5 to realize the control of the pull-in and release of the relay 6 to be tested. At the same time, the counter 4 is used to record the number of pull-in times of the relay 6 to be tested, so as to realize the life statistics of the number of pull-in times of the mechanical parts of the test relay and improve the relay test efficiency.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the utility model constructs a test circuit through a counter, a time controller, and a relay connection socket, and does not need to connect a resistive load or a human-computer interaction module. The circuit structure is simple and wiring is convenient.
