Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a testing mechanism suitable for earphone canals. Background Technology
[0002] Headphones are a pair of transducers that receive electrical signals from a media player or receiver and convert them into audible sound waves using speakers placed close to the ears. Headphones can propagate sound directionally without disturbing others. With industrial development, the quality of headphones has improved, making them more durable.
[0003] The WTS headphones have three ear canals (high, mid, and low frequencies). However, during the manufacturing process, some impurities may be generated in the ear canals, affecting the sound quality. These impurities are usually removed through manual inspection and cleaning, but some residues may remain, which will affect the sound quality of the headphones and require rework, increasing costs.
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer actively researched and innovated in order to create a new type of testing mechanism suitable for earphone canals, making it more valuable for industrial applications. Utility Model Content

[0019] Example
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a detection mechanism for earphone canals includes a fixed base 1. A left support column 2 and a right support column 3 are connected to the left and right sides of the fixed base 1, respectively. A fixed top plate 4 is connected to the top of the left and right support columns 2 and 3. An X-axis slide rail 5 is connected to the fixed top plate 4. A detection slide plate 7 is connected to the X-axis slide rail 6 via a slider 6. A driving device 8 is connected to the fixed top plate 4 and is connected to the detection slide plate 7. A detection camera 9 is connected to the detection slide plate 7. A Y-axis slide rail 11 is connected to the fixed base 1. A moving plate 12 is connected to the Y-axis slide rail 11 via a slider. A fixed bracket 13 for placing products is connected to the moving plate 12. A placement platform 14 is connected to the fixed bracket 13. A contoured groove 15 is formed in the placement platform 14. A fixing component 16 for fixing products is connected to the fixed bracket 13.
[0021] The driving device 8 described in this utility model includes a lead screw and a drive motor. The lead screw is located between the X-axis slide rails 5 via a bearing with a mounting seat. A sliding block is slidably connected to the lead screw. The sliding block is connected to the detection slide plate 7 via a connecting block. One end of the lead screw is connected to the drive motor.
[0022] The detection slide plate 7 described in this utility model is connected to an auxiliary lighting lamp 10, which can improve the auxiliary lighting for shooting.
[0023] The fixing component 16 of this utility model includes a fixing support rod 17, which passes through a fixing bracket. A pressure plate 18 is connected to the top end of the fixing support rod 17. A clamping cylinder 19 is connected to the fixing bracket, and the drive shaft of the clamping cylinder 19 is connected to the fixing support rod 17 through a connecting plate. A rubber pad is connected to the pressure plate 18. This allows for quick fixing of the product.
[0024] In this invention, a sensor (proximity switch sensor) is connected to the fixed top plate 4, and each sensor is positioned opposite the placement platform to ensure that the detection camera (CCD) is aligned with the product on the placement platform after movement. A display is connected to the fixed top plate for easy and intuitive observation.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] In practice, the product is placed in the contoured groove of the placement platform and fixed by a fixing component. Then, the moving plate is moved by a drive cylinder towards the detection camera and stops under the action of a blocking block. At this time, the placement platform is located below the detection camera. Under the action of the drive device and with the help of the sensor, the detection camera is aligned with the placement platform. Finally, the detection camera takes a picture of the product and uploads the picture to the control device (PC) to realize the detection of the product.
[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or vertical, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0030] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
