Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , this embodiment provides a technical solution: a knife-switch tester with an alarm, including a base 1 and a detection mechanism 3;
[0022] Base 1: A detection table 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of its upper surface. A display screen 8 is arranged on the upper surface of the base 1, and the output end of the display screen 8 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 7;
[0023] Detection mechanism 3: It includes a moving component 31, a torque sensor 34, a fixing plate 36, and a detection rod 38. A moving component 31 is arranged on the right side of the upper surface of the base 1. The upper end of the moving component 31 is fixedly connected to a torque sensor 34. The left end of the detection shaft of the torque sensor 34 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 36. The left side surface of the fixing plate 36 is fixedly connected to a detection rod 38. The moving component 31 includes a slide 311, a slide rail 312, a second cylinder 313, and a second fixing seat 314. The right side of the upper surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected with slide rails 312 distributed front and back. A slide 311 is slidably connected between the upper ends of the two slide rails 312. The torque sensor 34 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide 311. A second fixing seat 314 is arranged on the right side of the upper surface of the base 1. The upper end of the second fixing seat 314 is fixedly connected to a second cylinder 313. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 313 is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the slide 311. The air inlet of the second cylinder 313 is connected to the air outlet of an external air pump. The detection mechanism 3 further includes a motor 32, a third fixing seat 33, and an angle sensor 35.

The output shaft of the motor 32 is fixedly connected to the right end of the detection shaft of the torque sensor 34. The right side surface of the fixing plate 36 is fixedly connected to an angle sensor 35. The angle sensor 35 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the controller 7. The output end of the motor 32 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 7. The detection mechanism 3 further includes a return push rod 37. The left side surface of the third fixing seat 33 is fixedly connected to a return push rod 37. The return push rod 37 is located above the detection rod 38. Subsequently, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 313 pushes the slide 311 to move leftward between the slide rails 312. Both the detection rod 38 and the return push rod 37 move leftward. The switch of the knife switch is located between the detection rod 38 and the return push rod 37. The controller 7 controls the motor 32 to start. The motor 32 is a constant-torque motor, and the output torque remains unchanged. The rotation of the torque sensor 34 drives the fixing plate 36 to rotate around the central axis with the output shaft of the motor 32 as the center. The central axis of the output shaft of the motor 32 coincides with the rotation center of the knife switch. The angle sensor 35 feeds back the rotation angle of the fixing plate 36 to the controller 7 to achieve precise control of the rotation angle. The detection rod 38 pushes the switch of the knife switch to rotate upward. After reaching the set angle, the motor 32 rotates in reverse, and the return push rod 37 pushes the switch of the knife switch back to its original position. The torque sensor 34 transmits the torque change during the rotation of the switch of the knife switch to the controller 7. The controller 7 linearly displays the torque change through the display screen 8. When the torque change exceeds the set fluctuation range, it is regarded as a non-conforming product, and the controller 7 controls the alarm lamp 6 to light up;
[0024] Among them, it further includes an alarm lamp 6 and a controller 7. The alarm lamp 6 and the controller 7 are both arranged on the upper surface of the base 1. The input end of the controller 7 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The torque sensor 34 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the controller 7. The output end of the alarm lamp 6 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 7.
[0025] It further includes a clamping mechanism 2. The clamping mechanism 2 includes a first fixed seat 21, a first cylinder 22, a connecting seat 23, a first connecting rod 24, a second connecting rod 25, a spring 26, a clamping plate 27 and a sliding column 28. Uniformly distributed sliding columns 28 are fixedly connected between the left and right inner walls at the lower end of the detection table 5. Symmetrically distributed clamping plates 27 are slidably connected between the sliding columns 28. A spring 26 is sleeved outside the sliding column 28 in the middle, and the spring 26 is fixedly connected between the two clamping plates 27. A fixed column is provided on the left side of the upper surface of the base 1. The upper end of the fixed column is rotatably connected with a second connecting rod 25 distributed in a cross shape. The clamping plates 27 are both located between the left and right ends of the second connecting rod 25. A first fixed seat 21 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the base 1. The upper end of the first fixed seat 21 is fixedly connected with a first cylinder 22. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 22 is fixedly connected with a connecting seat 23. The front ends of the two second connecting rods 25 are rotatably connected with a first connecting rod 24 through a first pin shaft. The front ends of the two first connecting rods 24 are rotatably connected to the middle of the connecting seat 23 through a second pin shaft. The air inlet of the first cylinder 22 is communicated with the air outlet of an external air pump. Positioning blocks 4 are symmetrically distributed in the front and back on the upper surface of the detection table 5. The switch to be detected is placed on the upper surface of the detection table 5, and the positioning blocks 4 position the front and back positions of the switch. Subsequently, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 22 retracts, the connecting seat 23 moves forward, driving the first connecting rod 24 to move forward. The front and back angles between the two second connecting rods 25 become smaller, pushing the clamping plates 27 to slide relative to each other between the sliding columns 28, and the relative distance between the two clamping plates 27 decreases, realizing the positioning and clamping of the switch. After the detection is completed, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 22 is pushed out. Similarly, the front and back angles between the two second connecting rods 25 become larger, the compressed spring 26 returns, pushing out the two clamping plates 27, and taking out the switch.
[0026] The working principle of a knife switch tester with alarm provided by the present utility model is as follows: Place the knife switch to be detected on the upper surface of the detection table 5. The positioning block 4 positions the front and rear positions of the knife switch. Subsequently, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 22 retracts, the connecting seat 23 moves forward, driving the first connecting rod 24 to move forward. The front and rear included angles of the two second connecting rods 25 become smaller, pushing the clamping plates 27 to slide relative to each other between the sliding columns 28. The relative distance between the two clamping plates 27 decreases, realizing the positioning and clamping of the knife switch. Subsequently, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 313 pushes the sliding table 311 to move to the left between the slide rails 312. The detection rod 38 and the return push rod 37 both move to the left. The switch of the knife switch is located between the detection rod 38 and the return push rod 37. The controller 7 controls the motor 32 to start. The motor 32 is a constant torque motor, and the output torque remains unchanged. The rotation of the torque sensor 34 drives the fixed plate 36 to rotate around the central axis with the output shaft of the motor 32 as the center. The central axis of the output shaft of the motor 32 coincides with the rotation center of the knife switch. The angle sensor 35 feeds back the rotation angle of the fixed plate 36 to the controller 7, realizing precise control of the rotation angle. The detection rod 38 pushes the switch of the knife switch to rotate upward. After reaching the set angle, the motor 32 reverses, and the return push rod 37 pushes the switch of the knife switch back to its original position. The torque sensor 34 transmits the torque change during the rotation of the switch of the knife switch to the controller 7. The controller 7 linearly displays the torque change through the display screen 8. When the torque change exceeds the set fluctuation range, it is regarded as a non-conforming product. The controller 7 controls the alarm lamp 6 to light up. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 22 extends. Similarly, the front and rear included angles of the two second connecting rods 25 become larger, the compressed spring 26 returns, pushing out the two clamping plates 27, and taking out the knife switch.
[0027] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the controller 7 disclosed can be an FX3SA-30MR-CM PLC controller, the torque sensor 34 can be a FYTH torque sensor, the motor 32 can be a 5BLD250-24GU-25S constant torque reduction motor, and the angle sensor 35 can be a WT901BC angle sensor.
