The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 19 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a laptop computer testing device for performing keyboard key testing, keyboard backlight testing, and touchpad testing on a laptop computer 100. The device integrates the three types of testing on one device by means of a turntable, thereby greatly reducing the transfer time of the laptop computer 100 between different test devices and workstations, thereby improving the testing efficiency and reducing the equipment footprint.

[0052] Focus on reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The laptop computer testing equipment includes a base 9 and a turntable module 1 arranged on the base 9. The base 9 is provided with a first station 11, a second station 12, a third station 13 and a fourth station 14 arranged around an axis O. Among them, the first station 11 is used for loading, the second station 12 is used to detect the keys of the laptop computer 100, the third station 13 is used to detect the backlight of the key area of ​​the laptop computer 100, and the fourth station 14 is used to test the vibration function of the touchpad of the laptop computer 100. The turntable module 1 can drive the laptop computer 100 to flow between the above-mentioned four stations, thereby realizing the automated testing of the laptop computer 100. In this embodiment, the turntable module 1 drives the laptop computer 100 to flow in turn between the above-mentioned four stations in a clockwise direction, and of course it can also flow counterclockwise.

[0053] For details, please refer to Figure 3, at least one fixture module 2 is provided on the turntable module 1, and the fixture module 2 is used to fix the laptop computer 100 and keep the laptop computer 100 in an unfolded state greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and the laptop computer 100 is communicatively connected to the host computer 7 for testing. And in this embodiment, a total of four fixture modules 2 are provided, and a protective plate 92 is provided on the turntable module 1 to separate the four fixture modules 2. The turntable module 1 can drive the fixture module 2 to rotate so that the fixture module 2 flows between the first station 11, the second station 12, the third station 13, and the fourth station 14, thereby enabling the laptop computer 100 to be tested in sequence. And the present application sets four fixture modules 2, corresponding to four stations respectively, so that the four stations can work simultaneously, further improving the test efficiency.

[0054] At the first workstation 11, an operator can perform a loading operation, namely, placing a laptop computer 100 on the fixture module 2. The fixture module 2 is connected to the control module 6. After the laptop computer 100 is placed on the fixture module 2, the control module 6 controls the fixture module 2 to secure the laptop computer 100 and maintain it in an unfolded position at an angle greater than or equal to 90 degrees. The second workstation 12 includes a pressing device 3, which is fixed to the base 9 and connected to the control module 6. The control module 6 controls the pressing device 3 to press a key on the laptop computer 100. The laptop computer 100 then sends a key trigger signal to the host computer 7, which determines whether the key has been triggered. The third station 13 includes a camera device 4, which is fixedly mounted on the base 9 and connected to both the host computer 7 and the control module 6. The control module 6 can control the camera device 4 to obtain an image of the key area of ​​the laptop computer 100. The camera device 4 then sends the obtained image to the host computer 7, which compares the captured image with the preset image to determine whether the backlight of the key area is normal. The fourth station 14 includes a vibration test device 5, which is fixedly mounted on the base 9 and connected to the control module 6. The control module 6 controls the vibration test device 5 to detect the vibration amplitude of the touchpad of the laptop computer 100. The present application sets a turntable module 1 so that the fixture module 2 can be quickly transferred between multiple stations, thereby avoiding the need for the laptop computer 100 to repeatedly load and unload materials on different test equipment when performing different tests, thereby greatly improving the detection efficiency.

[0055] In addition, since the turntable module 1 needs to rotate during operation, an electrical slip ring 8 is also provided at the center of the turntable module 1 to avoid wire entanglement. The fixture control part 60 of the control module 6, such as the solenoid valve group, the switch module, etc., is arranged around the electrical slip ring 8, and the fixed end 81 of the electrical slip ring 8 is connected to the main control part 61 of the control module 6 in the base 9, and the rotating end 82 is connected to the fixture control part 60. The main control part 61 of the control module 6, such as the PLC controller, power supply, air source, etc., is arranged in the base 9 and is connected to the above-mentioned pressing device 3, camera device 4, and vibration test device 5 through multiple wire threading holes on the first fixed plate 90. By providing the electrical slip ring 8, continuous and reliable power or fluid transmission can be achieved between fixed components such as power supply, air source, etc. and rotating components such as the control module 6, while avoiding wire entanglement.

[0056] Focus on reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 9 includes a first fixed plate 90, on which a turntable hole 900 is formed. The turntable module 1 is disposed in the turntable hole 900 and is slidably connected to the first fixed plate 90. In detail, the turntable module 1 includes a hollow rotating platform 15 and a turntable 16 that is coaxial and fixedly connected to the rotation output end 151 of the hollow rotating platform 15. The hollow rotating platform 15 is fixedly connected to the base 9 and is disposed at a position lower than the first fixed plate 90, and is used to drive the turntable 16 to rotate around the axis O. This is a prior art, and the specific structure of the hollow rotating platform 15 will not be described in detail here. However, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, the hollow rotating platform 15 uses a paraxial hollow rotating platform. On the one hand, it can reduce the overall volume of the device in the vertical direction. On the other hand, since it has a center hole 150, it is also convenient for the fixed end 81 of the above-mentioned electrical slip ring 8 to be fixedly disposed in the center hole 150. Meanwhile, a slip ring fixing hole 160 is formed on the turntable 16 . The slip ring fixing hole 160 is coaxial with the center hole 150 and is used for mounting the rotating end 82 of the electrical slip ring 8 .

[0057] Furthermore, the first fixed plate 90 is provided with a plurality of pulleys 902 evenly arranged around the axis O. The turntable 16 is placed on the pulleys 902, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the turntable 16 and the first fixed plate 90 and minimizing friction during rotation of the turntable 16. Furthermore, the first upper surface 10 of the turntable module 1 and the second upper surface 901 of the first fixed plate 90 are coplanar. This not only reduces the vertical volume of the device, but also facilitates detection of runout errors of the turntable 16 during installation, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of the device.

[0058] Optionally, multiple first sensors 903 are further provided on the first fixing plate 90, and the first sensors 903 are preferably slot-type photoelectric sensors. Multiple position detection plates 904 are provided on the turntable 16. When the turntable 16 rotates into position, the first sensors 903 can detect the corresponding position detection plates 904 to determine whether the turntable 16 has rotated into position, thereby ensuring that the turntable 16 can accurately rotate to the designated workstation. Preferably, in this embodiment, a total of four first sensors 903 and four corresponding position detection plates 904 are provided, and are evenly arranged around the axis O so that every 90° rotation of the turntable 16 can be detected, thereby improving the accuracy of position detection.

[0059] Further references Figure 6 The fixture module 2 is fixed to the turntable 16 via screws (not shown) and includes a first fixing mechanism 21 and a second fixing mechanism 22. The first fixing mechanism 21 is used to fix the main unit 100a of the laptop computer 100 in the XY plane, where the keys and touchpad are located. The second fixing mechanism 22 is used to fix the display unit 100b of the laptop computer 100 in a direction perpendicular to the XY plane to prevent the display unit 100b from interfering with the test.

[0060] Specifically, the fixture module 2 includes a fixed base plate 23, one side of which is fixed to the turntable 16, and the other side is used to install the above-mentioned first fixing mechanism 21 and the second fixing mechanism 22. The first fixing mechanism 21 includes an X-axis driving member 211, a Y-axis driving member 212 and a horizontal positioning plate 210 arranged in the XY plane. The horizontal positioning plate 210 is used to place the laptop computer 100, and an X-axis positioning block 213 and a vertical positioning plate 214 are arranged on the top. The X-axis driving member 211 is used to drive the laptop computer 100 to move along the X-axis direction and abut against the X-axis positioning block 213, and the Y-axis driving member 212 is used to drive the laptop computer 100 to move along the Y-axis direction and abut against the vertical positioning plate 214. Through such an arrangement, the laptop computer 100 can be fixed and positioned in the XY plane with the same reference regardless of its size, which is convenient for testing.

[0061] Further, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The horizontal positioning plate 210 is fixed above the fixed base plate 23 by at least four support columns 216, so that there is a certain installation space between the horizontal positioning plate 210 and the fixed base plate 23. The above-mentioned X-axis driving member 211 and Y-axis driving member 212 are both arranged in the installation space below the horizontal positioning plate 210 and fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 23. The end of the X-axis output end 2110 of the X-axis driving member 211 is fixed with an X-axis clamping jaw 2111, and the X-axis clamping jaw 2111 is extended upward. Such an arrangement allows the X-axis driving member 211 to drive the X-axis clamping jaw 2111 to move along the X-axis, and the X-axis clamping jaw 2111 can abut against the second side 1002 of the laptop computer 100, thereby pushing the laptop computer 100 to move along the X-axis direction. Similarly, a Y-axis clamping jaw 2121 is fixed to the end of the Y-axis output end 2120 of the Y-axis driver 212. The Y-axis clamping jaw 2121 also extends upward. When the Y-axis driver 212 drives the Y-axis clamping jaw 2121 to move along the Y-axis, the Y-axis clamping jaw 2121 can abut against the first side 1001 of the laptop computer 100, thereby driving the laptop computer 100 to move along the Y-axis. Placing both the X-axis driver 211 and the Y-axis driver 212 within the installation space below the horizontal positioning plate 210 significantly reduces the overall volume of the fixture module 2, facilitating the miniaturization of the laptop computer testing equipment.

[0062] Focus on reference Figure 8 The second fixing mechanism 22 includes a Z-axis driver 215. The vertical positioning plate 214 is positioned perpendicular to the horizontal positioning plate 210. The Z-axis driver 215 is fixed to the vertical positioning plate 214 and is used to drive the display screen 100b of the laptop computer 100 to move and abut against the vertical positioning plate 214. This allows the operator to secure the laptop computer 100 by simply unfolding the laptop computer 100 at a certain angle and placing it on the horizontal positioning plate 210. This eliminates the need to manually adjust the opening and closing angle of the laptop computer 100, reducing loading time and significantly improving inspection efficiency.

[0063] More specifically, the Z-axis drive member 215 in this embodiment is a rotary cylinder that can both retract and rotate the Z-axis output shaft 2150. A Z-axis clamp 2151 is fixed to the end of the Z-axis output shaft 2150. This means that the Z-axis drive member 215 can drive the Z-axis clamp 2151 to rotate about the axis of the Z-axis output shaft 2150, and can also drive the Z-axis clamp 2151 to move along the axis of the Z-axis output shaft 2150. This arrangement, on the one hand, does not hinder the placement of the laptop computer 100 when the operator is loading materials. On the other hand, the operator does not need to manually open the laptop computer 100 to 90° when loading materials, but only needs to open it to a certain angle. This significantly reduces the time and difficulty of loading materials and improves inspection efficiency.

[0064] Preferably, the X-axis driving member 211 and the Y-axis driving member 212 are both pneumatic cylinders, and the X-axis clamping jaw 2111, the Y-axis clamping jaw 2121, and the Z-axis clamping jaw 2151 are each provided with a flexible member 24, the shape of which matches the corresponding clamping jaw to prevent damage to the laptop computer 100 when the clamping jaw contacts the laptop computer 100. Preferably, the flexible member 24 is made of rubber.

[0065] To enhance the stability of the laptop computer 100 during movement, at least two X-axis clamps 2111, Y-axis clamps 2121, and Z-axis clamps 2151 are provided. Because the second side 1002 of the laptop computer 100 is relatively narrow, only one X-axis driver 211 is provided. Both X-axis clamps 2111 are secured to the X-axis output terminal 2110 and driven by the single X-axis driver 211. However, because the first side 1001 of the laptop computer 100 is relatively wide, two Y-axis drivers 212 and two Z-axis drivers 215 are provided to drive the corresponding clamps.

[0066] Further references Figure 9 The fixture module 2 further includes a USB module 25 for connecting the laptop computer 100 to the host computer 7. The USB module 25 includes a plug-in driver 240. A USB plug 241 electrically connected to the host computer 7 is provided at a plug-in output end 2401 of the plug-in driver 240. The plug-in driver 240 can drive the USB plug 241 to move along the Y-axis direction so as to plug into the USB port on the laptop computer 100. In addition, due to the different thicknesses and sizes of different laptop computers 100, the positions of the USB interfaces in the Z-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are different. Therefore, the USB module 25 also includes an adjustment driver 242, which is fixed on the fixed base plate 23, and the adjustment driver 242 is tilted. In more detail, the adjustment driver 242 is set in the YZ plane and is tilted at 45° to the Y-axis. The plug-in driver 240 is fixed on the output end of the adjustment driver 242, so that the adjustment driver 242 can drive the USB plug 241 to move in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, thereby being suitable for different laptop computers 100 and improving the applicability of the device.

[0067] Optionally, different laptop computers 100 have different sizes. In order to detect the size of the laptop computer 100 placed on the fixture module 2 so as to facilitate the insertion of the aforementioned USB module 25, a second sensor 251, a third sensor 252, and a fourth sensor 253 are provided on the horizontal positioning plate 210. Generally speaking, laptop computers 100 are divided into 13-inch laptops and 15-inch laptops. When the laptop computer 100 is placed on the horizontal positioning plate 210, the second sensor 251 and the third sensor 252 are covered, while the fourth sensor 253 cannot detect the object. In this case, the laptop computer 100 is determined to be a 13-inch laptop. When the laptop computer 100 is placed on the horizontal positioning plate 210, the second sensor 251, the third sensor 252, and the fourth sensor 253 are covered. In this case, the laptop computer 100 is determined to be a 15-inch laptop. By providing the second sensor 251, the third sensor 252, and the fourth sensor 253 in different positions, the type of the laptop computer 100 can be determined simply and reliably at a low cost.

[0068] In addition, in order to prevent the second sensor 251, the third sensor 252 and the fourth sensor 253 from interfering with the laptop computer 100, avoidance grooves 255 are opened at corresponding positions of the horizontal positioning plate 210. The second sensor 251, the third sensor 252 and the fourth sensor 253 are respectively arranged in the corresponding avoidance grooves 255 and do not protrude from the surface of the horizontal positioning plate 210.

[0069] Similarly, in order to detect whether the laptop computer 100 is opened and closed at 90 degrees, a fifth sensor 254 is provided on the vertical positioning plate 214 for detecting whether the display screen portion 100b of the laptop computer 100 has moved into place, and an avoidance groove 255 is also provided at the corresponding position of the vertical positioning plate 214 to accommodate the fifth sensor 254 to avoid interference with the display screen portion 100b.

[0070] In order to prevent the laptop computer 100 from being worn during positioning and fixing, a protective member 26 is provided on both the horizontal positioning plate 210 and the vertical positioning plate 214. In particular, a protective member receiving groove 243 is formed on the horizontal positioning plate 210 for installing the protective member 26.

[0071] Further, focus on Figure 10The fixed base plate 23 is also provided with a quick-release adapter 271, and the turntable 16 is provided with a corresponding quick-release socket 270. One end of the quick-release socket 270 is connected to the control module 6 via a pipeline, more specifically, to the solenoid valve assembly in the control module 6 via a pipeline. The other end of the quick-release socket 270 is detachably connected to the quick-release adapter 271. The quick-release adapter 271 is connected to the aforementioned X-axis driver 211, Y-axis driver 212, Z-axis driver 215, plug driver 240, and adjustment driver 242 via pipelines. It can be seen that when the quick-release adapter 271 is connected to the quick-release socket 270, the control module 6 can be connected to the X-axis drive 211, the Y-axis drive 212, the Z-axis drive 215, the plug-in drive 240, and the adjustment drive 242 through the pipeline, so that the control module 6 can control the movement of the X-axis drive 211, the Y-axis drive 212, the Z-axis drive 215, the plug-in drive 240, and the adjustment drive 242. Among them, the quick-release adapter 271 is composed of multiple evenly arranged sub-bodies of the gas path quick connector, and the quick-release socket 270 is composed of multiple corresponding parent bodies of the gas path quick connector. When the user still needs to perform other tests or operations on the laptop computer 100, the fixture module 2 can be directly removed from the device and quickly placed on other devices for operation, which reduces the process of re-positioning and fixing the laptop computer 100. Only the same quick-release socket 270 needs to be set on the other device to achieve control of the multiple drivers on the fixture module 2.

[0072] Focus on reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The pressing device 3 includes an ejection drive member 30 and a pressing mechanism 31. The pressing mechanism 31 includes a plurality of pressing units 310. The ejection drive member 30 is used to drive the pressing mechanism 31 to move above the clamp module 2, more precisely, to move above the main body part 100a of the laptop computer 100. The pressing unit 310 is used to press the buttons on the main body part 100a of the laptop computer 100 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the pressing device 3 includes a first fixing member 32, and the pressing mechanism 31 is slidably set on the first fixing member 32 through a pair of parallel first guide rail slider assemblies 33. The ejection drive member 30 is set on the side of the pressing mechanism 31 and fixed to the first fixing member 32, and the output end of the ejection drive member 30 is fixedly connected to the pressing mechanism 31, so that the ejection drive member 30 can drive the pressing mechanism 31 to move along the arrangement direction of the first guide rail slider assembly 33, so that when performing a keyboard key test, the pressing mechanism 31 can move to the top of the laptop computer 100 for testing, and can retract after the test is completed to avoid affecting the rotation of the laptop computer 100 to the next workstation.

[0073] Furthermore, since the key positions of notebook computers 100 of different sizes are also different, the pressing device 3 is provided with a special structure so as to be able to test notebook computers 100 of different sizes. Specifically, the pressing mechanism 31 includes a first adjustment plate 311, a second adjustment plate 312 and an oblique driving member 313. The first adjustment plate 311 is connected to the above-mentioned first guide rail slider assembly 33 and the output end of the pushing driving member 30. The second adjustment plate 312 is set on the first adjustment plate 311 through the second guide rail slider assembly 314. The oblique driving member 313 is also fixedly set on the first adjustment plate 311, and the output end of the oblique driving member 313 is connected to the second adjustment plate 312, so that the oblique driving member 313 can drive the second adjustment plate 312 to move along the arrangement direction of the second guide rail slider assembly 314, thereby adjusting the position of the second adjustment plate 312 in the XY plane, and a plurality of fixing holes 3120 are set on the second adjustment plate 312, and the pressing unit 310 is set in the corresponding fixing holes 3120, finally realizing the movement of the pressing unit 310 between different positions in the XY plane, thereby adapting to different laptop computers 100.

[0074] Optionally, the first fixing member 32 is provided with at least one first stopper 341. When the ejection drive member 30 drives the first adjustment plate 311 to move to the extreme position, the first stopper 341 abuts against the first adjustment plate 311, providing a buffering effect to prevent damage to the device. Similarly, the first adjustment plate 311 is provided with at least one second stopper 342. When the oblique drive member 313 drives the second adjustment plate 312 to move to the extreme position, the second stopper 342 abuts against the second adjustment plate 312, providing a buffering effect.

[0075] Furthermore, the pressing unit 310 includes a pressing cylinder 35 and a pressing head 36. The pressing cylinder 35 is fixedly mounted on the second adjustment plate 312 along the Z-axis direction, and a pressing output shaft 350 of the pressing cylinder 35 passes through the fixing hole 3120 and is fixedly connected to the pressing head 36. The pressing cylinder 35 can drive the pressing head 36 to move along the Z-axis direction, thereby enabling the pressing head 36 to press a key on the laptop computer 100.

[0076] Focus on reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 The pressing head 36 includes a connecting block 360, an elastic head 361, and an elastic member 362. One end of the connecting block 360 is fixedly connected to the aforementioned pressing output shaft 350, and the other end is formed with an elastic groove 364. The elastic head 361 is at least partially slidably disposed within the elastic groove 364. The elastic member 362 is disposed within the elastic groove 364, with one end abutting against the bottom wall forming the elastic groove 364 and the other end abutting against the elastic head 361. When the pressing head 36 contacts the key, the elastic head 361 can overcome the elastic action of the elastic member 362 to move and provide a buffering effect, thereby preventing damage to the key.

[0077] Specifically, one end of the connecting block 360 is formed with at least two connecting pieces 3601. The push output shaft 350 is clamped in the space enclosed by the connecting pieces 3601. A fixing ring 3602 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting piece 3601. The fixing ring 3602 has a U-shaped opening and a locking screw 3603 is provided at the opening. Tightening the locking screw 3603 increases the pressure of the fixing ring 3602 on the connecting piece 3601, thereby fixing the push output shaft 350 between the multiple connecting pieces 3601 and achieving the fixation of the push output shaft 350 to the connecting block 360. The elastic head 361 includes an interconnected elastic portion 3610 and a connecting member 3611. The connecting member 3611 is slidably disposed in the elastic groove 364. The elastic portion 3610 is made of a flexible material and is used to contact the key to prevent damage to the key.

[0078] In addition, in order to prevent the elastic head 361 from moving out of the elastic groove 364, a sliding groove 365 is opened on the side wall forming the elastic groove 364, and the sliding groove 365 extends along the Z-axis direction. The pressing head 36 also includes a limiting rod 366, which is passed through the connecting piece 3611 and is at least partially arranged in the sliding groove 365, and the limiting rod 366 can be moved along the arrangement direction of the sliding groove 365, so that the elastic head 361 always moves in the elastic groove 364 and will not fall out, and damage to the laptop computer 100 can be avoided.

[0079] Furthermore, two symmetrical sliding grooves 365 are opened on the side wall forming the elastic groove 364. The middle part of the limiting rod 366 is passed through the connecting piece 3611, and the two ends are respectively arranged in the two sliding grooves 365 to improve the stability of the elastic head 361 during movement.

[0080] Further, focus on Figure 15 The camera device 4 includes a second fixing member 40 and a camera 41. The second fixing member 40 is fixedly connected to the base 9. The camera 41 is fixed to the end of the second fixing member 40 away from the base 9 to ensure that the camera 41 can capture the entire fixture module 2. Specifically, the second fixing member 40 includes a gantry 401 and a pair of connecting fixing plates 402. One end of the gantry 401 is fixed to the base 9, and the other end is fixed to the connecting fixing plates 402. The camera 41 is fixedly disposed between the pair of connecting fixing plates 402.

[0081] It is worth noting that in order to ensure that laptop computers 100 of different sizes can be photographed completely, the present application also innovatively sets the position of the camera 41. Figure 16The center points of laptop computers 100 of different sizes have different positions on the fixture module 2. When the size of the laptop computer 100 is the smallest, the position of its center point on the fixture module 2 is located at the first midpoint D. When the size of the laptop computer 100 is the largest, the position of its center point on the fixture module 2 is located at the second midpoint D′. In this embodiment, the minimum size of the laptop computer 100 is 13 inches and the maximum is 15 inches. The camera 41 has a shooting center. The line connecting the first midpoint D of the 13-inch laptop computer 100 and the second midpoint D′ of the 15-inch laptop computer 100 has a third midpoint D". In the Z-axis direction, the shooting center of the camera 41 overlaps with the third midpoint D", thereby ensuring that laptop computers 100 of different sizes can be completely photographed. That is, the present application addresses the problem of differences in the positions of the center points of laptop computers 100 of different sizes on the fixture. By precisely locating the spatial correspondence between the shooting center of the camera 41 and the midpoint of the line connecting the center points of the two extreme sizes of laptop computers 100, the problem of incomplete shooting caused by different sizes of laptop computers 100 is solved from the root of the shooting perspective. There is no need to additionally adjust the position of the camera 41 or the placement of the laptop computer 100 to ensure the stability and integrity of the shooting.

[0082] Optionally, since a dark environment is required for shooting, the base 9 further includes a protective cover assembly 91, which is mounted on the first fixed plate 90, and the first station 11 is located outside the protective cover assembly 91, while the second station 12, the third station 13, and the fourth station 14 are all located inside the protective cover assembly 91. The protective cover assembly 91 is loosely fitted with a protective plate 92 provided on the turntable 16 for separating different stations, and an elastic light-shielding strip is provided at the joint between the protective cover assembly 91 and the protective plate 92, thereby creating a dark environment inside the device and preventing the protective cover assembly 91 from affecting the rotation of the turntable 16, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0083] Further references Figure 17 and Figure 18 The touchpad has a vibration source inside. The vibration testing device 5 includes a vertical drive member 52, a fixture 50, and an acceleration sensor 51. The vertical drive member 52 drives the fixture 50 to move vertically, causing the bottom of the fixture 50 to contact and attract the touchpad. The acceleration sensor 51 is fixed within the fixture 50 and is configured to detect the vibration amplitude of the vibration source. This is prior art. Please refer to CN118225224B for details and will not be repeated here.

[0084] In addition, in order to prevent the turntable 16 from starting when loading, a safety grating 910 is also provided on the protective cover assembly 91. The safety grating 910 is set at the first work station 11 and is used to detect whether the first work station 11 is loading, so as to improve the safety of the equipment.

[0085] Finally, the present application also provides a laptop computer detection method applied to the above-mentioned laptop computer detection device, which comprises the following steps:

[0086] Turn on the laptop computer testing device, and place the laptop computer 100 on the fixture module 2 at the first station 11 manually or by machine;

[0087] Start the laptop computer detection device and connect the laptop computer 100 to the host computer 7 for communication;

[0088] The control module 6 controls the clamp module 2 to work so as to fix the laptop computer 100 and keep the laptop computer 100 in an unfolded state of greater than or equal to 90°.

[0089] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the fixture module 2 first positions the laptop 100 and detects the size of the laptop 100. Then, the USB module 25 plugs the laptop 100 into the laptop to connect it to the host computer 7. This allows for automated fixing and connection of laptops 100 of different sizes.

[0090] Next, the control module 6 controls the turntable module 1 to work, and then drives the clamp module 2 to rotate so that the clamp module 2 moves to the second workstation 12. The control module 6 controls the pressing device 3 to press the button on the host part 100a of the laptop computer 100. The laptop computer 100 sends the trigger signal of the button to the host computer 7. The host computer 7 determines whether the button is qualified based on the trigger signal.

[0091] Next, control module 6 controls turntable module 1 to operate, thereby driving fixture module 2 to rotate so that fixture module 2 moves to third station 13. Control module 6 controls camera device 4 to capture an image of the key area of ​​laptop computer 100 and transmits it to host computer 7. Host computer 7 compares the image of the key area with a preset image to determine whether the backlight of the key area of ​​laptop computer 100 is qualified. More specifically, the image captured in this step is an image of the main unit 100a of laptop computer 100.

[0092] Next, the control module 6 controls the turntable module 1 to operate, thereby driving the fixture module 2 to rotate so that the fixture module 2 moves to the fourth station 14 . The control module 6 controls the vibration testing device 5 to operate to test the vibration amplitude of the touchpad of the laptop computer 100 .

[0093] Finally, the control module 6 controls the turntable module 1 to work, thereby driving the clamp module 2 to rotate so that the clamp module 2 moves to the first workstation 11 again. The control module 6 controls the clamp module 2 to reset to cancel the fixation of the laptop computer 100, and the laptop computer 100 is taken out manually or by machine.

[0094] It is worth noting that the test contents of the second station 12, the third station 13 and the fourth station 14 can be changed in test order by setting the rotation direction of the turntable 16, and the test devices on each station, such as the pressing device 3, the camera device 4 and the vibration test device 5, all adopt a modular design, which enables rapid replacement to meet customer needs and facilitate maintenance.

[0095] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
