The mounting base 9 is bolted to the side wall of the mounting frame 8. The fixing component 10 is bolted to the side wall of the mounting base 9. The pressing handle... Handle 11 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of fixing member 10. Connector 12 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of pressing handle 11. Controller 4 includes a chip, control button, display screen, and wiring port. Connector 12 has an H-shaped cross-section. Press handle 11 is inclined and covered with an anti-slip sleeve. The surface of test platform 5 has a groove 6. A cover plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the top of test platform 5. A damping structure is provided between cover plate 7 and test platform 5. Pressure rod 13 is rotatably mounted on the end of connector 12. Connecting plate 14 is mounted on the pressure rod.

The downward movement of the pressure rod 13 drives the connecting plate 14 to move down. With the setting of the limit seat 15 and the slider 16, the vertical movement of the connecting plate 14 can be guaranteed. The downward movement of the connecting plate 14 drives the vertical rod 17 and the stall head 19 to move down, thus completing the test of the motor stall function.

[0025] In this embodiment

[0026] When using this automatic motor tester that combines FG and Hall signal speed measurement for direction determination, the connecting wires between the controller 4, power supply, and motor can be threaded through the wiring hole 2 and the wiring box 1. The controller 4 can be installed and fixed in place with the support plate 3. When testing the motor, the user installs the motor in the groove 6 on the surface of the test bench 5, uses the cover plate 7 to limit the motor's position, and then connects the controller 4, power supply, and the motor under test according to their respective function line names and powers it on. Subsequently, pressing the corresponding control button tests the motor's functions. During the test, the control of the direction and braking functions is directly achieved by inverting the GPIO port level. The chip captures the input FG (H1) signal, obtains the level change interval, calculates the cycle time of each revolution, and obtains the motor speed. The precise direction recognition, which is the focus of this optimization, relies on two Hall signal inputs. H1 can be used as a normal FG signal. The entry time is marked in the capture interrupt, and then the external interrupt of the GPIO port is entered by using the H2 signal inversion. The interval between the last H1 signal capture interrupt and the current external interrupt is obtained in it. Since the interval between H1 and H2 is 60° when rotating forward and 120° when rotating backward, the interval between their trigger signals is different. Based on this, the direction of motor rotation is determined, and the various functions and directions of the motor are tested and obtained, which improves the applicability and testing efficiency of the tester. When it is necessary to test the motor's stall function, the user pulls down the pressing handle 11. Under the limiting cooperation of the connecting part 12 and the fixing part 10, the pulling of the pressing handle 11 causes the pressure rod 13 to move down. The downward movement of the pressure rod 13 drives the connecting plate 14 to move down. With the setting of the limiting seat 15 and the slider 16, the vertical movement of the connecting plate 14 can be guaranteed. The downward movement of the connecting plate 14 drives the vertical rod 17 and the stall head 19 to move down, thus completing the test of the motor's stall function.

[0027] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
