Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides an adjustable test fixture, including an operating table 100. A clamping component for fixing a router is provided at the top of one end of the operating table 100. A rotating component for rotating the router antenna to adjust the signal transmission angle is provided at the top of the operating table 100 and on one side of the clamping component. A fixing plate 110 is fixedly connected to the other end of the operating table 100. A detection device 104 is slidably connected to the top of the fixing plate 110. A shielding cover 103 is fixedly installed on the top of the operating table 100 between the rotating component and the detection device 104. A controller 111 for controlling the rotating component is provided on the surface of the operating table 100.

[0025] The rotating assembly includes a connecting shaft 301 rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the square hole 102. A fixing block 300 is snapped onto the surface of the connecting shaft 301. A limiting component for limiting the router antenna is provided on the top of the fixing block 300. A connecting plate 403 is fixedly sleeved on one end surface of the connecting shaft 301. One end of the connecting plate 403 extends downward and has a sliding groove 404. An mounting plate 400 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the operating table 100. An electric push rod 401 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting plate 400. A fixing post 402 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 401. One end of the fixing post 402 is inserted into the inner cavity of the sliding groove 404. Through the setting of the rotating assembly, the electric push rod 401 pushes the fixing post 402 to move within the sliding groove 404 of the connecting plate 403, thereby driving the connecting shaft 301 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 301 drives the fixing block 300 to rotate, thereby realizing precise control of the router antenna angle, which facilitates the staff to test different antenna angles.

[0026] The detection device 104 is the signal detector disclosed in the referenced document CN217985105U patent, and its structure and principle will not be described in detail here.

[0027] It is worth noting that the electric actuator 401 is a stepper electric actuator 401, and the controller 111 is an ultra-miniature PLC controller 111 of model S7-200. By precisely controlling the number of pulses sent to the motor in the stepper electric actuator 401, the rotation angle of the motor can be controlled, thereby controlling the extension stroke of the electric actuator 401.

[0028] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a square slot 101 formed on the top of the operating table 100. A bidirectional lead screw 201 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the square slot 101. Corresponding nut seats 203 are threaded to both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 201. Clamping plates 200 are fixedly connected to the top of both sets of nut seats 203. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 201 extends outward to the outer side of the operating table 100 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 202. Through the setting of the clamping assembly, routers of different sizes can be adapted. Clamping and releasing operations can be easily achieved by turning the handwheel 202, providing stable fixation of the router on the operating table 100, ensuring that the router will not move during antenna angle adjustment and signal detection, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of operation.

[0029] Furthermore, the top of the fixing plate 110 is provided with a sliding groove 109, and a slider 106 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove 109. A support rod 105 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 106, and the detection device 104 is fixedly installed on the top of the support rod 105. Through the setting of the sliding groove 109 and the slider 106, the detection device 104 can move flexibly in the horizontal direction and can detect the router signal at different positions, thereby more comprehensively evaluating the signal coverage of the router.

[0030] Preferably, the limiting component includes first clamping blocks 304 respectively disposed on the top of both sides of the fixing block 300. A connecting ring 309 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two sets of first clamping blocks 304. A fixing ring 307 is disposed on both sides of each of the two sets of connecting rings 309. The connecting ring 309 and the fixing ring 307 on the same side are connected together by a positioning pin 308. A second clamping block 306 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the fixing rings 307 on the same side. A spring 305 is connected to the top of each of the two sets of first clamping blocks 304. One end of the top of each of the two sets of springs 305 contacts the bottom of the corresponding second clamping block 306. By setting the limiting component, the limiting component can effectively prevent the antenna from detaching from the fixing block 300 during the rotation of the router antenna, ensuring that the antenna remains stable at different angles and guaranteeing the stability of signal transmission.

[0031] It is worth noting that limiting grooves 303 are respectively opened on the top of both sides of the fixing block 300. The inner cavity of the two sets of limiting grooves 303 is slidably connected to limiting blocks 302. The top of the two sets of limiting blocks 302 is respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding side first clamping block 304. Through the setting of limiting grooves 303 and limiting blocks 302, when different models of routers need to be clamped, the operator only needs to manually move the first clamping block 304 according to the spacing of the router antennas, so that the limiting block 302 can slide to the appropriate position in the limiting groove 303, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0032] Furthermore, a scale line 108 is provided on the top of one side of the fixed plate 110, and a pointer 107 is provided on the surface of the slider 106 to point to the scale line 108. Through the setting of the pointer 107 and the scale line 108, when moving the detection device 104, the operator can intuitively understand the position of the detection device 104 through the pointer 107 and the scale line 108, which is convenient for operation and adjustment. At the same time, during the test, data at different positions can be accurately recorded, which is convenient for subsequent data analysis and processing.

[0033] Working principle;

[0034] First, take out the router to be tested and place it between the two sets of clamping plates 200. Then, simultaneously move the two sets of limiting components to the positions corresponding to the antennas on both sides of the router. At this time, press the second clamping block 306 to increase the distance between the first clamping block 304 and the second clamping block 306, and place the root of the antenna between the first clamping block 304 and the second clamping block 306. Then, release the second clamping block 306 to clamp the antenna. Clamp the other set of antennas according to the above steps. Then move the testing device 104 to the required distance. At this time, turn the handwheel 20. 2. The bidirectional lead screw 201 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the two sets of nut seats 203 to move inward simultaneously. Then, the two sets of clamping plates 200 clamp the router body. Subsequently, the controller 111 controls the extension end of the electric push rod 401 to extend, thereby causing the fixed column 402 to move along the sliding groove 404. At the same time, through the transmission of the connecting plate 403, one end of the fixed block 300 rotates upward along the connecting shaft 301. Thus, one end of the fixed block 300 rotates upward and adjusts the angle of the antenna, thereby enabling the testing of various angles of the antenna.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
