Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of safety switch testing, and particularly relates to a safety switch aging testing machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, safety switches are tested using a multimeter and a switching power supply, which is a pure manual test, and only one safety switch is tested at a time. Such a test method is inefficient, has a high labor cost, and the detection relies on manual evaluation, resulting in certain deviations. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a safety switch aging testing machine to solve the above technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problems is as follows:

[0005] According to one aspect of the utility model, a safety switch aging testing machine is designed, including:

[0006] A pallet on which a tray is positioned and placed. A row of positioning grooves for positioning and placing safety switches are horizontally and spacedly arranged on the tray;

[0007] A longitudinal driving unit, which is drivingly connected to the pallet and is used to drive the pallet to move longitudinally;

[0008] A first lifting driving unit, which is drivingly connected to a mounting frame arranged above the tray and is used to drive the mounting frame to lift and lower. A plurality of groups of power connection probes are horizontally arranged at the rear end of the mounting frame, and the plurality of groups of power connection probes respectively correspond to and are vertically aligned with the power connection contacts on the safety switches placed in a row of positioning grooves one by one;

[0009] A second lifting driving unit, which is arranged in a row and fixedly connected to the mounting frame. The driving end of each second lifting driving unit is connected with a key insert piece and is used to drive the key insert piece to lift and lower. A row of key insert pieces respectively correspond to and are vertically aligned with the jacks on the safety switches placed in a row of positioning grooves one by one;

[0010] A control device, which is electrically connected to the longitudinal driving unit, the first lifting driving unit, the second lifting driving unit, and the power connection probes.

[0011] With the above technical solution, when aging tests are required for safety switches, multiple safety switches are placed in the positioning grooves on the tray. Then, the tray is positioned on the pallet. After that, the longitudinal drive unit drives the pallet to drive the tray to move below the mounting frame. At this time, several groups of power connection probes on the mounting frame correspond to the power connection contacts on a row of safety switches one by one vertically, and the key insert corresponds to the jack on the safety switch vertically. Then, the first lifting drive unit drives the mounting frame to move downwards, so that the power connection probes contact the power connection contacts on the safety switches, making the coils in the safety switches energized. Then, the second lifting drive unit drives the key insert to move downwards so that the lower end of the key insert is inserted into the jack on the safety switch to conduct aging tests on the safety switches. After reaching the test time, the second lifting drive unit drives the key insert to move up and down several times to determine whether the coil locking function in the safety switch is normal, thereby realizing the testing of the safety switches. Multiple safety switches can be tested at one time, greatly improving the testing efficiency of the safety switches. Compared with manual evaluation, the testing accuracy is also relatively high.
