The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore detailed descriptions of them will be omitted. Furthermore, the drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0045] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” “the,” and “at least one” are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and to mean that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first” and “second” are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure provides a testing apparatus that can be used for a door handle 1 to test the opening and closing durability of the door handle 1.

[0047] The door handle 1 may include a handle base 10, a handle body 11, and a handle cover 12. The handle base 10 can be connected to a vehicle door 18 to mount the door handle 1 onto the door 18. The handle body 11 may be located between the handle base 10 and the handle cover 12. The handle body 11 may be provided with a press-to-unlock part 13, which can move between an unlocked position and a locked position. When the press-to-unlock part 13 is in the unlocked position, the door handle 1 is in the open state, and the vehicle door 18 can be opened. When the press-to-unlock part is in the locked position, the door handle 1 is in the closed state, and the vehicle door 18 is locked and cannot be opened. For example, when the press-to-unlock part 13 is pressed, it can move to the unlocked position, at which point the door handle 1 is in the open state. When the press-to-unlock part 13 is released, it can move to the locked position, at which point the door handle 1 is in the closed state. The handle cover 12 can cover the handle body 11 to protect it from damage caused by rainwater erosion.

[0048] In one embodiment, the press-to-unlock part 13 may be a partial structure provided on the handle body 11, but it is not limited thereto. The entire handle body 11 may also be the press-to-unlock part 13, that is, the entire handle body 11 can move between the unlock position and the locked position.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the experimental apparatus of this embodiment may include: a base 2, a positioning mechanism 3, a hand simulation mechanism 4, and an unlocking structure. The positioning mechanism 3 may be disposed on the base 2, and the door handle 1 may be fixed to the positioning mechanism 3. The hand simulation mechanism 4 may include a mounting base 40 and a plurality of simulated fingers 41. The mounting base 40 may have a first end and a second end, and the plurality of simulated fingers 41 may be detachably mounted on the first end. The unlocking mechanism 5 may be disposed on the base 2, and the unlocking mechanism 5 may include a transmission assembly 50 and a first driving member 51. The transmission assembly 50 may be connected to the second end, and the first driving member 51 may be used to drive the transmission assembly 50, so that the simulated fingers 41 press the unlocking part 13, causing the unlocking part 13 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0050] Therefore, by setting up the hand simulation mechanism 4, the actual working conditions of a human hand pressing to unlock the door handle 1 can be accurately simulated. Thus, by repeatedly driving the simulated finger 41 to press the unlocking part 13 on the door handle 1, the testing device can accurately test the opening and closing durability of the door handle 1. Furthermore, since the simulated finger 41 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 40, fingers of different sizes and thicknesses can be arbitrarily replaced as needed to accurately simulate different fingers of the human hand. Simultaneously, it can accurately simulate the fingers of people of different ages and genders, further improving the realism of the simulation and the accuracy of the test results.

[0051] The mounting base 40 may have a curved section between the first and second ends to more accurately simulate the shape of a human hand pressing to unlock, thereby further improving the realism of the test device simulating the working condition of a human hand pressing to unlock the door handle 1, and further improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0052] The simulated finger 41 may include a finger base 411 and a fingerprint patch 412. The finger base 411 is detachably mounted on the first end of the mounting base 40, and the fingerprint patch 412 can be attached to the surface of the finger base 411. When it is necessary to change the spacing between two adjacent simulated fingers 41, the position of the fingerprint patch 412 can be adjusted to change the spacing between two adjacent fingerprint patches 412, thereby changing the spacing between two adjacent simulated fingers 41.

[0053] Furthermore, when it is necessary to change the size of the simulated finger 41, it is not necessary to replace the simulated finger 41. For example, the size of the simulated finger 41 can also be changed by replacing it with a fingerprint patch 412 of a different size, and / or by cutting the finger base 411. Similarly, when it is necessary to change the thickness of the simulated finger 41, it is not necessary to replace the simulated finger 41. For example, the thickness of the simulated finger 41 can also be changed by replacing it with a fingerprint patch 412 of a different thickness.

[0054] The hand simulation mechanism 4 may also include a connector 42, which may be located at the second end of the mounting base 40 for connecting the transmission assembly 50 and the mounting base 40.

[0055] The transmission assembly 50 may include a first support base 501 and a swing arm 502. The first support base 501 may be disposed on the base 2 to provide support for other structures of the transmission assembly 50. The swing arm 502 may include a first swing portion 5021, a second swing portion 5022, and a connecting portion 5023 connecting the first swing portion 5021 and the second swing portion 5022. The first swing portion 5021 may be connected to the second end of the mounting base 40. When the human hand simulation mechanism 4 includes a connector 42, the first swing portion 5021 may be connected to the connector 42. The connecting portion 5023 is rotatably connected to the base 2, and the first drive member 51 can drive the second swing portion 5022 to rotate the swing arm 502. When the swing arm 502 rotates, the first swing portion 5021 can push the human hand simulation mechanism 4 to make the simulated finger 41 press the pressing unlock portion 13, causing the pressing unlock portion 13 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0056] The first swing part 5021 and the second swing part 5022 can have an included angle, which can be greater than 0° and less than 180°, for example, 45°, 90°, 135°, 150°, 170°, 179°, etc. The first swing part 5021 and the second swing part 5022 can provide a larger rotation space, so as to increase the movement range of the human hand simulation mechanism 4.

[0057] The first swing part 5021 and the second swing part 5022 can be swing rods, but are not limited thereto. The first swing part 5021 and the second swing part 5022 can also be swing plates, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

The first mounting hole can be provided with a plurality of first mounting holes, and the first mounting part 511 can be fixed on different first mounting holes to adjust the position of the first driving member 51, thereby improving the application range of the test device. The first driving part 512 can be used to drive the second swing part 5022, for example, the first driving part 512 can move towards the second swing part 5022 relative to the first mounting part 511 to drive the second swing part 5022 to move.

[0060] The first driving member 51 can be an electric motor to accurately control the driving speed and displacement. However, it is not limited thereto. The first driving member 51 can also be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0061] The unlocking mechanism 5 can further include a first force detector 54 arranged between the first driving part 512 and the second swing part 5022, which is used to detect the force applied by the first driving part 512 to the second swing part 5022. The first force detector 54 can be a force sensor, but is not limited thereto.

[0062] In one embodiment, the unlocking mechanism 5 can further include a stop block 53 arranged on the side of the second support seat 52 away from the positioning mechanism 3, which is used to stop and position the second support seat 52 to avoid displacement of the second support seat 52 during driving of the first driving member 51, so as to ensure the test stability of the test device.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the test device can further comprise a support platform 6 and a second driving member 7. The support platform 6 can be slidably arranged on the base 2 and can reciprocate along a first direction X, which can be a direction in which the handle body 11 points to the handle cover 12. The unlocking mechanism 5 can be arranged on the support platform 6. The second driving member 7 can be connected with the support platform 6 and used to drive the support platform 6 to slide along the first direction X.
