The connecting column 9 is used to drive the clamping mold 10 to rotate. The second support plate 6 is used to support the connecting column 9. The clamping mold 10 is used to clamp and fix the hourglass.

[0023] Secondly, if Figure 1 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the two adjusting components 2 are placed side by side, and the adjusting component 2 includes two fixed blocks 201, a sliding rod 202, a slider 203 and a clamping handle 204. The two fixed blocks 201 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed block 201, and the two ends of the sliding rod 202 are fixedly connected to the two fixed blocks 201 respectively. The slider 203 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 202, and the clamping handle 204 is threadedly connected to one side of the slider 203, and one end of the clamping handle 204 is movably set with the sliding rod 202, and the upper surface of the slider 203 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the carrying plate 3.

[0024] Further, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, a bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 4, and an origin sensor 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 11. The detection hole of the origin sensor 12 faces the connecting member 8, and a sensing piece 801 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 8.

[0025] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the jig platform 1 is fixedly connected to a control box 13, which is located on the side of the clamping mold 10 away from the connecting column 9. A detection plate 14 is movably provided on the side of the control box 13 close to the clamping mold 10. Two fixing parts 15 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the jig platform 1. The two fixing parts 15 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the jig platform 1. One side of the two fixing parts 15 is in conflict with the side of the detection plate 14 away from the control box 13.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, the principle of the hourglass flip detection jig provided in this embodiment is as follows: when using this hourglass flip detection jig to detect the flip performance of the hourglass, after loosening the clamping handle 204, pull the slider 203 to move the clamping mold 10 away from the control box 13, and install the hole on the detection plate 14 through the rotating adsorption disk on the hourglass, and place the detection plate 14 with the hourglass to be detected between the fixing part 15 and the control box 13, adjust the position of the detection plate 14 according to the hourglass to be detected, and then fix the detection plate 14 to one side of the control box 13 through the quick clamp 16, and then fasten the detection plate 14 to the control box 13 through the fixing part 15 to increase the stability of the detection plate 14, and then clamp the hourglass through the clamping mold 10, and then fix the clamping handle 15. The handle 204 is tightened to fix the position of the clamping mold 10, and then the output end of the motor 7 drives the connecting part 8 to rotate slowly, the connecting part 8 drives the connecting column 9 to rotate, the connecting column 9 drives the clamping mold 10 to rotate, and the clamping mold 10 drives the hourglass to be detected to rotate. After the origin sensor 12 detects the sensing piece 801, the hourglass detection origin is determined, and then the motor 7 drives the connecting part 8, the connecting column 9 and the clamping mold 10 to rotate, and the hourglass to be detected is flipped. After flipping, wait for the set time, and then the motor 7 drives the connecting part 8, the connecting column 9 and the clamping mold 10 to rotate in the direction to flip the hourglass in the opposite direction. The hourglass is flipped multiple times to test its flipping performance. After the test is completed, the hourglass is removed to complete the test.
