[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0022] [Embodiment 1]

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, an elastic test head includes a force sensor 1 and a test head body 2. The test head body 2 is installed at the lower end of the force sensor 1. During the test, the test head body 2 contacts the product to be tested and continuously applies pressure. The force sensor 2 senses the pressure received by the test head body 2 until the limit value of the product to be tested is reached.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the test head body 2 includes a connector 21, a spring 22, a guide rod 23 and a guide cylinder 24. The guide cylinder 24 is sleeved on the guide rod 23. The connector 21 is provided with a mounting hole 211 and a connecting rod 215. The mounting hole 211 is arranged at the bottom of the connector 21, and the connecting rod 215 is arranged at the top of the connector 21. The guide rod 23 passes through the mounting hole 211. One end of the spring 22 abuts against the bottom of the mounting hole 211, and the other end abuts against the guide rod 23. The guide cylinder 24 is threadedly connected to the connector 21. After the lower end of the guide rod 23 contacts the product to be tested, the spring 22 compresses, enabling the guide rod 23 to be in soft contact with the product to be tested and avoiding damage to the product to be tested. The upper end of the connector 21 is provided with a connecting rod 215, and the connecting rod 215 is provided with a second external thread 216. The force sensor 1 is provided with a threaded mounting hole 11, and the second external thread 216 is connected to the threaded mounting hole 11, thereby realizing the threaded connection between the force sensor 1 and the connecting rod 215, and fixing the force sensor 1 and the test head body 2.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Specifically, the bottom of the mounting hole 211 is a conical surface 212. One end of the spring 22 abuts against the conical surface 212. A contact portion 232 is provided on the guide rod 23. The contact portion 232 is arranged on the upper side of the guide rod 23. The other end of the spring 22 abuts against the contact portion 232. A conical positioning portion 231 is provided on the guide rod 23. The conical positioning portion 231 is arranged at the upper end of the contact portion 232. The conical positioning portion 231 passes through the spring 22. The contact portion 232 can support the spring 22. The conical positioning portion 231 and the conical surface 212 can limit the compression direction of the spring 22, preventing the spring 22 from deflecting during compression and rubbing against the inner wall of the mounting hole 211, which may cause errors in the data read by the force sensor 1. Further, upper and lower flat surfaces 221 and 222 are provided on the upper and lower end surfaces of the spring 22. The upper flat surface 221 contacts the conical surface 212, and the lower flat surface 222 contacts the upper end surface of the contact portion 232. By machining the upper and lower flat surfaces 221 and 222 on the spring 22, the contact area between the spring 22 and the conical surface 212 and the contact portion 232 can be increased, thereby increasing the friction force and preventing the spring 22 from rotating during use. After installation, the spring 22 is in a compressed state, and the lower end of the contact portion 232 abuts against the guide cylinder 24.

[0026] The guiding cylinder 24 is provided with a through hole 241, a first external thread 242, a limiting part 243, an operating part 244 and an avoidance cone 245. The through hole 241 runs through the whole guiding cylinder 24, and the guiding rod 23 is inserted into the through hole 241 to extend out and contact the product to be measured. A smooth part 233 is arranged on the guiding rod 23. The smooth part 233 matches the shape of the through hole 241. The surface roughness of the smooth part 233 is small and the fitting clearance is small, which can reduce the concentricity of the test head body 2, thereby improving the test accuracy. The first external thread 242 is arranged at the upper end of the guiding cylinder 24, and an internal thread 213 is arranged inside the mounting hole 211. The first external thread 242 is connected with the internal thread 213, thereby connecting and fixing the guiding cylinder 24 and the connecting head 21. The limiting part 243 is arranged at the lower end of the first external thread 242, and a limiting groove 214 is arranged inside the mounting hole 211. The limiting groove 214 is located at the lower end of the internal thread 213. The limiting groove 214 matches the limiting part 243, thereby further reducing the concentricity of the test head body 2, thereby improving the test accuracy. The operating part 244 is arranged at the lower end of the limiting part 243, and an end face 246 is arranged on the operating part 244. The guiding cylinder 24 can be clamped by a tool, so as to connect the first external thread 242 and the internal thread 213, so that the guiding cylinder 24 and the connecting head 21 are further locked and fixed. The avoidance cone 245 is arranged at the lower end of the operating part 244. A conical surface structure 234 is arranged on the guiding rod 23. The conical surface structure 234 is arranged on the lower side of the guiding rod 23. When installed on the guiding cylinder 24, the conical surface structure 234 extends out of the guiding cylinder 24, so as to facilitate the camera to identify the moving path of the guiding rod 23. The avoidance cone 245 can avoid the position to prevent blocking the camera from identifying the conical surface structure 234. Vertical stripes 217 are arranged on the outer surface of the connecting head 21, so as to facilitate the operator to tighten the test head body 2 to fix the test head body 2 and the force sensor 1. A contact surface 235 is arranged at the lower end of the guiding rod 23. The contact surface 235 contacts the product to be measured.

[0027] [Embodiment 2]

[0028] As Figure 5 shown, a testing mechanism includes a mounting plate 200, the elastic test head 100 described in Embodiment 1 and a bolt 400. A test mounting hole 300 is arranged on the mounting plate 200. A plurality of test mounting holes 300 are arranged according to the key positions to be tested. The force sensor 1 is provided with a threaded fixing hole 12. The threaded fixing hole 12 is arranged at the upper end of the force sensor 1, and the threaded fixing hole 12 is coaxially arranged with the threaded mounting hole 11. The bolt 400 passes through the test mounting hole 300 and is threadedly connected with the threaded fixing hole 12, thereby ensuring the concentricity of the contact surface 235 and the threaded fixing hole 12.
