Chinese Patent CN118322803A discloses this type of car sun visor. Before assembling the car sun visor, the torque of the rotating shaft on the bracket assembly needs to be tested to determine whether the torque is within the required range (usually between 0.63 N·m and 3.26 N·m). Existing testing methods are mostly manual: holding the bracket assembly's support plate in one hand and a dynamometer in the other hand, hooking the end of the bracket assembly's rotating shaft and applying force.
