[0002] New material plastics are widely used in many industries such as home appliances and automotive interiors. Different industries have various requirements such as corrosion resistance and temperature adaptability. Therefore, material companies need to conduct various corresponding physical and chemical tests before mass production of new materials under development. Since physical and chemical tests take a long time, corresponding testing and analysis equipment are needed to help researchers operate. At present, the main testing equipment in the industry only provides general material sample fixation and test drop timing drip test. In these test equipment, the control of general drops requires manual processing, and the cracks in the specimens require manual observation with the naked eye. Therefore, there will be the following problems:

[0003] 1. The material reaction time is relatively long, and long-term manual observation is required to obtain effective data. Manual visual inspection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and prone to errors. 2. The test results and data are recorded manually, and the accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

[0004] 3. The testing process is difficult to quantify and visualize. Utility Model Content
