[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5This utility model embodiment provides a functional testing station, mainly including a frame 1, a driver 2, a mounting base 3, a positioning module 4, and multiple testing mechanisms 5. The mounting base 3 is slidably connected to the frame 1 in the vertical direction. The sliding connection between the mounting base 3 and the frame 1 can be achieved by connecting a linear bearing and a guide rod, or by connecting a guide rail and a slider. The positioning module 4 is fixed below the mounting base 3 and is used to position the product to be tested below it; that is, the area below the positioning module 4 is the testing area 9. Multiple testing mechanisms 5 are all connected to the mounting base 3 and collectively surround the outer periphery of the positioning module 4. The driver 2 is connected to the frame. 1. Connect the mounting base 3. The driver 2 is used to drive the mounting base 3, the positioning module 4 and multiple testing mechanisms 5 to move together at least in the vertical direction. The driver 2 is preferably a low-cost cylinder. Each testing mechanism 5 includes a connected actuator 51 and a docking module 52. The actuator 51 is fixed on the mounting base 3. The docking module 52 is provided with multiple connectors 521. The actuator 51 is used to drive the multiple connectors 521 on the docking module 52 to be inserted into a side of the product to be tested. The actuator 51 is also preferably a low-cost cylinder without a guiding function. In order to improve the moving accuracy of the docking module 52, a guide rail and a slider are preferably connected between the docking module 52 and the mounting base 3.

[0033] When the functional test station of this solution is in operation, the product to be tested can be moved to the test area 9 below the positioning module 4 by manual labor, a conveyor mechanism, or a robotic arm. Then, the driver 2 drives the mounting base 3, the positioning module 4, and multiple test mechanisms 5 to descend together. The positioning module 4 positions the product to be tested below to improve the positional accuracy of the product to be tested. Then, the actuators 51 in each test mechanism 5 drive multiple connectors 521 on the corresponding docking module 52 to be inserted into one side of the product to be tested, so that multiple sides of the product can be inserted into a corresponding docking module 52, thereby greatly improving the functional testing efficiency of products with connectors on multiple sides.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 6 The functional test station in this embodiment also includes a conveying mechanism 6 and a lifting mechanism 7, both connected to the frame 1. The lifting mechanism 7 is located below the positioning module 4 and below the test area 9. The conveying mechanism 6 is used to drive the tray to move to the test area 9. The tray is used to carry the product to be tested. The lifting mechanism 7 is used to drive the tray upward to detach from the conveying mechanism 6, so that the product to be tested can be supported to a certain height before testing. After the product test is completed, the lifting mechanism 7 drives the tray to descend, so that the tray is placed back on the conveying mechanism 6. The conveying mechanism 6 can also be used to drive the tested product to be unloaded.

[0035] Please see Figure 6 The functional testing station in this embodiment may also include a rotating mechanism 8 connected to the lifting mechanism 7. The rotating mechanism 8 is used to drive the tray to rotate around the vertical axis. By setting this rotating mechanism 8, the product on the tray can be rotated to the posture required for testing, so that one side of the product to be tested can be rotated to face the corresponding docking module 52.

[0036] Please refer to them again. Figure 1 and Figure 6 The lifting mechanism 7 specifically includes a fixed plate 71, a lifting cylinder 72, and a lifting seat 73. The fixed plate 71 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The lifting cylinder 72 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed plate 71. The lifting seat 73 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 71 in the vertical direction. The lifting cylinder 72 is connected to the lifting seat 73 and drives the lifting seat 73 to move vertically. The aforementioned rotating mechanism 8 is connected to the lifting seat 73. During operation, the lifting cylinder 72 drives the lifting seat 73 to move up and down, which in turn drives the rotating mechanism 8 and the pallet to move together in the vertical direction, thereby achieving the function of lifting the product on the pallet upwards or placing the product downwards back onto the conveying mechanism 6. The rotating mechanism 8 specifically includes a connected motor 81 and a rotating platform 82. The motor 81 is fixed to the lifting base 73, and the rotating platform 82 is rotatably connected to the lifting base 73 about a vertical axis. The rotating platform 82 carries the tray, and the motor 81 drives the rotating platform 82 to rotate relative to the lifting base 73. When the motor 81 rotates, it drives the tray and product to the desired testing posture. The motor 81 and the rotating platform 82 can be connected by gear transmission or rack and pinion transmission.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3Each testing mechanism 5 also includes a slide 53, which is slidably connected to the mounting base 3 in the horizontal direction. Preferably, the slide 53 is slidably connected to the mounting base 3 by connecting a guide rail and a slider. The docking module 52 is fixed on the slide 53 and detachably connected to the slide 53. The actuator 51 is actually connected to the slide 53 and is used to drive the slide 53 and the docking module 52 to move together. This design facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the docking module 52 to quickly meet the testing requirements of products of various specifications and sizes. Preferably, when the docking module 52 is installed on the corresponding slide 53, this solution uses an elastic limiting member 55 fixed on the slide 53 to fix the docking module 52. The docking module 52 is provided with a limiting hole (not shown in the figure) that interlocks with the elastic limiting member 55. When it is necessary to disassemble the docking module 52, simply pull out the elastic limiting member 55 first, and then slide the docking module 52 out of the slide 53. This has the advantage of facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the docking module 52. Secondly, since this solution requires the assembly of different docking modules 52 on the corresponding slides 53 according to the actual situation during use, in order to prevent the docking module 52 from not being correctly installed on the corresponding slide 53, each test mechanism 5 in this embodiment also includes a first sensor 54 fixed on the slide 53. The first sensor 54 is used to detect whether it is aligned with the detection hole on the docking module 52, thereby determining whether the docking module 52 is correctly installed on the corresponding slide 53. This makes it easier for operators to correctly assemble the corresponding docking module 52 on each slide 53, reducing the risk that the docking module 52 and the side of the product cannot be aligned during testing, and improving the reliability of testing multiple sides of the product.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The positioning module 4 specifically includes a mounting plate 41 and multiple positioning posts 42 fixed below the mounting plate 41. The mounting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 3. When the driver 2 drives the positioning module 4 to descend, the multiple positioning posts 42 will be inserted into the carrier or directly into the product under test to calibrate the position of the product under test, thereby improving the reliability of multiple docking modules 52 being able to be inserted into the product. Preferably, the mounting plate 41 and the mounting base 3 are detachably connected, that is, the entire positioning module 4 and the mounting base 3 are detachably connected, so that the operator can quickly replace the corresponding positioning module 4 according to different products under test. More preferably, a second sensor 10 is fixed on the mounting base 3. The second sensor 10 is used to detect whether it is aligned with the detection hole on the positioning module 4, thereby determining whether the positioning module 4 is correctly installed on the mounting base 3, which facilitates the operator to correctly assemble the corresponding positioning module 4 on the mounting base 3, ensuring that the positioning module 4 can position the corresponding product during testing.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model, as well as other specific embodiments of the present utility model that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort, should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
