[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] Example 1

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a testing mechanism, mainly including a base 1 and a conveying device 2, a docking plate 3, a push-pull device 4, and a lifting device 5 respectively connected to the base 1. The conveying device 2 is preferably a belt conveyor, used to convey the product to be tested to the top of the lifting device 5, or to send the tested product outwards. The lifting device 5 is located in the middle area of ​​the conveying device 2, used to drive the product on the conveying device 2 to move vertically. The push-pull device 4 is located on the lifting device. On one side of the base 5, the push-pull device 4 is used to pull the product, which has been lifted by the lifting device 5, to the docking plate 3 for insertion or to push the product to separate from the docking plate 3. The docking plate 3 is provided with multiple connectors 31, which are actually multiple connectors 31 that are inserted into the product, allowing the product to be tested in at least one state of electrical conduction, pneumatic conduction, or hydraulic conduction. Preferably, the base 1 is also fixed with a guide rod 6 for guiding the product. The product can be inserted into the docking plate 3 more accurately along the guide rod 6, improving the accuracy of the insertion. Specifically, the product can be directly inserted into the docking plate 3, or indirectly inserted into it. Indirect insertion can be understood as the product being pre-clamped on a carrier with an integrated plate. After the product is placed on the carrier, it needs to be pre-connected to the integrated plate (at least one of electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic connection). When the integrated plate and the docking plate 3 are inserted into each other, the integrated plate indirectly connects the product and the docking plate 3.

[0034] Specifically, in operation, the conveyor 2 transports the product to the designated position, and the lifting device 5 lifts the product upwards, separating it from the conveyor 2. Then, the push-pull device 4 pulls the product, automatically docking it with the docking plate 3, at which point the product enters the testing state. After testing, the push-pull device 4 pushes the tested product away from the docking plate 3, and the lifting device 5 drives the product downwards, placing it back onto the conveyor 2. Finally, the conveyor 2 ejects the tested product. In summary, this testing mechanism enables automatic product feeding, automatic product unloading, and automatic docking and separation with the docking plate 3, thus improving product testing efficiency.

[0035] Please see Figure 2The push-pull device 4 specifically includes a driver 41, a mounting plate 42, and a lever 43 connected in sequence. The driver 41 is fixed to the base 1, and is preferably a low-cost cylinder. The mounting plate 42 is slidably connected to the base 1 via a guide rod or slide rail. The lever 43 is fixed to the mounting plate 42. During operation, the driver 41 drives the mounting plate 42 and the lever 43 to move together in a straight line, allowing the lever 43 to pull the product and the docking plate 3 to interlock, and also to push the product and the docking plate 3 to separate. Preferably, the bottom of the lever 43 has a downward-opening slot 431. The product to be tested, lifted by the lifting device 5, will be embedded in the slot 431, allowing the lever 43 to pull or push the product under the drive of the driver 41. In other embodiments, the slot on the product or carrier can be used to insert the dial 43 into the slot of the product to be tested that is lifted by the lifting device 5, thereby enabling the dial 43 to pull or push the product under the drive of the driver 41.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The lifting device 5 actually includes an actuator 51 and a lifting plate 52 connected in sequence. The actuator 51 is fixed on the base 1. The actuator 51 is preferably a low-cost cylinder. The actuator 51 is used to drive the lifting plate 52 to move in the vertical direction, so that the lifting plate 52 can lift the product to be tested or place the tested product on the conveying device 2.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 Let the direction in which the conveying device 2 drives the product to be tested be the first direction Y. The push-pull device 4 is preferably located on one side of the conveying device 2 along the first direction Y. The push-pull device 4 is preferably used to pull or push the product in a straight line along the first direction Y. Furthermore, the conveying device 2 is preferably used to drive the tested product outwards in the opposite direction of the first direction Y. This design facilitates the interconnection between the testing mechanism and the external feeding line in this embodiment. This allows the product, driven by the feeding line, to be automatically transferred to other workstations for other tests or other required processes, in addition to testing on the testing mechanism, thereby improving product manufacturing efficiency.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5This embodiment provides a multi-station testing device, which mainly includes a feeding line 7, a lifting and conveying mechanism 8, and multiple testing mechanisms 10 as described in Embodiment 1 above. The multiple testing mechanisms 10 are arranged on one side of the feeding line 7, and the multiple testing mechanisms 10 are arranged adjacent to the multiple lifting and conveying mechanisms 8 in a one-to-one correspondence. This embodiment mainly takes three lifting and conveying mechanisms 8 and three testing mechanisms 10 as an example. During operation, the product is driven by the feeding line 7 to move along the second direction X. When the product to be tested is moved above a corresponding lifting and transferring mechanism 8, the lifting and transferring mechanism 8 drives the product on the feeding line 7 to be lifted upwards and moved along the first direction Y to the conveyor device 2 within a corresponding testing mechanism 10. After the conveyor device 2 drives the product to be tested to the designated position, the product and the docking plate 3 are inserted into each other and testing begins. After the product testing is completed, the conveyor device 2 drives the tested product to move out along the first direction Y to the lifting and transferring mechanism 8. Then, the lifting and transferring mechanism 8 receives the tested product from the conveyor device 2 in the opposite direction of the first direction X and places the tested product downwards onto the feeding line 7. Finally, the feeding line 7 drives the tested product to move out along the second direction X. Because this solution uses multiple testing mechanisms 10, multiple products can be tested simultaneously, thereby significantly improving product testing efficiency.

[0040] Please see Figure 5 The lifting and conveying mechanism 8 specifically includes a fixed base 81, a lifting cylinder 82, a lifting seat 83, and a feeding device 84. The lifting cylinder 82 is fixed on the fixed base 81, and the feeding device 84 is fixed on the top of the lifting seat 83. The lifting seat 83 is slidably connected to the fixed base 81 in the vertical direction via a guide rod or slide rail. The lifting cylinder 82 is connected to the lifting seat 83 and is used to drive the lifting seat 83 and the feeding device 84 to move together in the vertical direction. The feeding direction of the feeding device 84 is parallel to the first direction Y mentioned above. During operation, when the product to be tested is driven down by the feeding line 7 and arrives above the lifting and transferring mechanism 8, the lifting cylinder 82 drives the feeding device 84 to rise. The feeding device 84 will drag the product to be tested upward away from the feeding line 7. Then, the feeding device 84 drives the product to be tested to move along the first direction Y to the corresponding testing mechanism 10. After the product is tested in the testing mechanism 10, the feeding device 84 receives the tested product from the testing mechanism 10 in the opposite direction of the first direction X. Then, the lifting cylinder 82 drives the feeding device 84 to descend, so that the tested product can be placed downward on the feeding line 7.

[0041] Preferably, please refer to Figure 4The multi-station testing equipment in this embodiment also includes a return line 91, a first lifting conveyor 92, and a second lifting conveyor 93. The return line 91 is located below the feeding line 7. The first lifting conveyor 92 is located at one end of the feeding line 7 along the second direction X and is used to transfer the tested products on the feeding line 7 to the return line 91. The second lifting conveyor 93 is located at one end of the feeding line 7 along the opposite direction of the second direction X and is used to transfer the tested products on the return line 91 to the feeding line 7. With this design, the carriers used for loading products can be reused. More preferably, in the opposite direction of the second direction X of the plurality of lifting and transferring mechanisms 8, the feeding line 7 is provided with at least two manual loading areas 71. Operators can take out the tested products from the returned carriers at the manual loading areas 71 and reload the products to be tested into the returned carriers.

[0042] 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.
