[0050] In this embodiment, the second driving member 31 is a cylinder, and the output end of the cylinder is connected to the first connecting portion 3321 .

[0051] In some other embodiments, the second driving member 31 can also be a linear module, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or any other driving member that can realize the function of driving the hardness tester 32 to approach the glue receiving plate 22 along the second direction Z, and is not limited herein.

[0052] Referring to Figure 6 , the detection device provided in the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a controller 4, and both the first driving member 21 and the second driving member 31 are electrically connected to the controller 4. By using the controller 4, only the start times of the first driving member 21 and the second driving member 31 need to be preset, and the timed detection of the glue hardness quality can be realized, which is convenient to operate.

[0054] In this embodiment, the hardness tester 32 is electrically connected to the controller 4. In this way, the controller 4 can receive the measurement data of the hardness tester 32 in real time, and perform processing and analysis, which helps the staff to timely discover problems in the production process and take corresponding measures for adjustment and optimization.

[0055] Embodiment 2

[0056] Referring to Figures 7-8 , the difference between the second embodiment of the present invention and the first embodiment is only that: the end of the glue receiving plate 22 close to the hardness tester 32 in the second direction Z is recessed in a direction away from the hardness tester 32 to form a glue receiving groove 221. The glue receiving groove 221 can be used to receive the glue output from the glue outlet of the glue applicator and limit the glue within the glue receiving groove 221, thereby avoiding the glue from overflowing into the production environment and other components outside the glue receiving plate 22.
