Based on the embodiments recorded in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the test device and test system for a router include a support base 1;

[0042] A placement rack 2 is installed on the support seat 1, and the placement rack 2 has a test placement slot 3. A clearance gap 15 is arranged on the placement rack 2 in the area surrounded by the test placement slot 3;

[0043] The bottom end of the placement rack 2 is provided with an LED sensor 12 located at the clearance gap 15;

[0044] The support seat 1 is also provided with two rotary pressing cylinders 4 located on both sides of the placement frame 2, and the output end of the rotary pressing cylinder 4 is connected to a pressing plate 5. When the rotary pressing cylinder 4 drives the pressing plate 5 to rotate toward the direction close to the test placement slot 3, the pressing plate 5 gradually moves downward;

[0045] A test mounting frame 6 is also installed on the support seat 1, and a test upward cylinder 7 is arranged on the test mounting frame 6. The output end of the test upward cylinder 7 is connected to a test connecting frame 34, and a power connector 8 and a plurality of test connectors 9 that can pass through the clearance gap 15 are installed on the test connecting frame 34;

[0046] The test mounting frame 6 is also provided with a conversion upward cylinder 10, the output end of which is connected to a conversion connecting frame 11, and a conversion upper top column 13 that can pass through the clearance gap 15 is installed on the conversion connecting frame 11.

[0047] The rotary pressing cylinder 4 adopts the existing technology, and its working principle is that a spiral upward rotating groove is opened on the cylinder output shaft, and a guide pin that can cooperate with the rotating groove is arranged in the cylinder body. When the output shaft is driven to move up and down in the cylinder body, the output shaft is also driven to rotate through the cooperation of the guide pin and the rotating groove. When the existing technology is applied to this embodiment, it should be configured as follows: when the rotary pressing cylinder 4 drives the lower pressing plate 5 to rotate to face the test placement slot 3, the lower pressing plate 5 is in a low position, so that it can be gradually moved to the top of the router and gradually press down the router to be tested; when the rotary pressing cylinder 4 drives the lower pressing plate 5 to rotate to be separated from the test placement slot 3, the lower pressing plate 5 is in a high position, so that the lower pressing plate 5 can gradually release the downward pressure on the router and gradually separate from the router, which can facilitate the unloading work of the tested router.

[0048] In this embodiment, the number of test connectors 9 should be determined according to the number of interfaces on the router. Figure 2 As shown, the router is provided with a setting button 29, four interfaces 30, and a power jack 31, and the test connectors 9 can be configured with four, and the four test connectors 9 should be connected to the corresponding devices with corresponding test software; the power connector 8 should be connected to the power supply. The LED sensor 12 is used to collect the color of the router working light to see if it is operating normally. The LED sensor 12 can use an optical fiber probe ICATOH01. This embodiment should be equipped with a corresponding control system to control the actions of each functional structure.

[0049] When in use, first start the two rotating downward pressure cylinders 4 to make the two lower pressure plates 5 rotate and disengage from the test placement slot 3. At this time, the upper part of the test placement slot 3 is in an open state. Then place the router to be tested from the top of the test placement slot 3. Then start the two rotating downward pressure cylinders 4 to make the two lower pressure plates 5 rotate close to the router to be tested. In this process, the two lower pressure plates 5 will gradually move down and press the router. At this time, the LED sensor 12 is directly below the working light on the router, the power connector 8 is directly below the power socket of the router, and the test connector 9 is directly below the router interface (interfaces such as wide area network, local area network, Ethernet, etc.). Then, the test connection frame 34 is gradually moved up by the test upward cylinder 7, so that the power connector 8 can be placed in the power socket of the router, and each test connector 9 can be placed in each interface of the router respectively. Start the power supply and the equipment with the test software, and then it can be observed whether the operation of the router is normal. In addition, by switching the upward cylinder 10, the setting button of the router can be driven to switch the upper push column 13 to switch the working state, and then the luminous color of the router working light is collected by the LED sensor 12, and thus it is observed whether the working light is operating normally, that is, whether the working light will emit different colors of light according to different working states.

[0050] The placement rack 2 can be arranged above the test mounting rack 6 through a plurality of support columns 38. The rotary downward pressure cylinder 4 can be arranged on the support seat 1 through a positioning mounting rack 39.
