[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4 , the embodiments of the present utility model include:
[0021] A measuring and counting instrument comprises a housing 1, housing a measuring and counting circuit. The housing 1 is provided with a button 2 and several heat dissipation holes 3. The button 2 is used to turn the instrument on and off, while the heat dissipation holes 3 serve both as heat dissipation and as amplification. To facilitate installation in a test environment to simulate the actual operating conditions of the electrical device under test, lugs 4 are provided on each side of the housing 1, each with a mounting hole 5. A small hole 6 is also provided in the lower portion of the housing for the external lead wires.

[0023] The measurement and counting circuit includes a power supply U, a switch K, a single-chip microcomputer signal control module MCU, an electrical device under test R, and a counter. One end of the switch K is connected to the power supply U, and the other end is connected to the single-chip microcomputer signal control module MCU. The MCU has two high-side outputs: one connected to the electrical device under test R, and the other connected to the counter. The other ends of the electrical device under test R and the counter are both grounded. The switch K is connected to a button.
[0024] One output of the single-chip microcomputer signal control module MCU is connected to the measured electrical device R via a first high-side output module, and another output is connected to a counter via a second high-side output module. Preferably, both the first and second high-side output modules utilize a BTS443. The single-chip microcomputer signal control module MCU utilizes a Freescale MC9S08DZ60 microcontroller, which can adjust program-controlled output time and intervals based on the operating conditions of different electrical devices. The counter is an independent counting device, employing a SANTEN H7EC digital counter. The power supply U converts external power to the required internal power and can utilize a commercially available voltage converter.

Figure 5 Considering the operating conditions of the electric horn, the MCU signal control module is set to control the BTS443 to output a 24V high level for 2 seconds, then stop outputting after 2 seconds. After 10 seconds, the BTS443 controls the output to output a high level for 2 seconds again, repeating this output cycle. The first high-side output module is connected to the electric horn, and the second high-side output module is connected to a counter. This records the number of times the electric horn is used under simulated actual operating conditions, thereby measuring the electric horn's service life and reliability.
