[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive sensor testing technology, specifically a novel sensor testing device. Background Technology
[0002] A sensor is a device that can detect physical quantities (such as temperature, pressure, light intensity, sound, displacement, etc.) and convert them into measurable and transmissible electrical signals or other forms of information. It serves as a bridge between the physical and digital worlds. Sensors are widely used in various fields. During the production of sensors, their performance needs to be tested. In the automotive industry, sensors are currently still tested manually, but manual testing is inefficient and poses operational safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel sensor testing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows.
[0005] A novel sensor testing device includes a machine base. A first conveyor rail is mounted on the upper surface of the machine base, and a carrier is mounted on the surface of the first conveyor rail. A first transfer robot is mounted on the outer side of the upper surface of the machine base outside the first conveyor rail, and a first flipping mechanism is mounted on the outer side of the upper surface of the machine base outside the first transfer robot. A second transfer robot is mounted on the upper surface of the machine base, and a testing station is mounted below the second transfer robot. A second conveyor rail is mounted on the upper surface of the machine base, and a second flipping mechanism is mounted on the surface of the second conveyor rail, with the second flipping mechanism having the same structure as the first flipping mechanism. A receiving mechanism is located on the outer side of the machine base.
[0006] Furthermore, the second flipping mechanism includes a carrier plate and an L-shaped plate. Two L-shaped plates are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate via a rotating shaft. Both inner surfaces of the L-shaped plates are provided with product positioning grooves. A pulley set is provided between the outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts for transmission. A pneumatic motor is mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate, and the end of the output shaft of the pneumatic motor is connected to one of the rotating shafts.
[0007] Furthermore, the receiving mechanism includes a standard tray receiving machine installed on the outside of the machine base, and a third transfer robot is installed on the upper surface of the machine base.
[0008] Furthermore, a waste box is provided on the outside of the second conveyor track, and the waste box is connected to the second conveyor track by a snap-fit.
[0009] Furthermore, the test stations are set up in two groups, each group consisting of six test stations connected in series.
[0010] Furthermore, a cooling fan is installed on the upper surface of the machine, located outside the testing station.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows.
[0012] This invention uses a first conveying track and a carrier to transport products. A first transfer robot grips the product and flips it onto a first flipping mechanism. Then, a second transfer robot grips the flipped product onto a testing station and powers it on for testing. After the test is completed, the second transfer robot grips the product onto a second flipping mechanism and flips it again. The flipped product is then transported to a receiving mechanism via a second conveying track for receiving. This achieves the purpose of automatic testing, greatly improves testing efficiency, and avoids the safety hazards caused by manual operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection" and "installation" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "connection" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed" means that the relative positional relationship remains unchanged after the connection. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this utility model, such as "inner," "outer," "top," and "bottom," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to 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 the embodiments of this utility model.
[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a novel sensor testing device includes a machine base 100. A first conveying track 101 is mounted on the upper surface of the machine base 100. A carrier 102 is disposed on the surface of the first conveying track 101. A first transfer robot 103 is mounted on the outer side of the first conveying track 101 on the upper surface of the machine base 100. A first flipping mechanism 200 is disposed on the outer side of the first transfer robot 103 on the upper surface of the machine base 100. A second transfer robot 104 is mounted on the upper surface of the machine base 100. A testing station 105 is mounted below the second transfer robot 104 on the upper surface of the machine base 100. A second conveying track 106 is mounted on the upper surface of the machine base 100. A second flipping mechanism 300 is disposed on the surface of the second conveying track 106. The second flipping mechanism 300 has the same structure as the first flipping mechanism 200. A receiving mechanism 400 is disposed on the outer side of the machine base 100.
[0024] In use, the assembled product is transported via the first conveying track 101 and carrier 102 to the area below the first transfer robot 103. The first transfer robot 103 clamps the product onto the first flipping mechanism 200, which flips the product from a horizontal to a vertical position. Subsequently, the second transfer robot 104 clamps the vertical product from the first flipping mechanism 200 onto the testing station 105, where a 1500A current is applied for testing. After the test is completed, the second transfer robot 104 clamps the product onto the second flipping mechanism 300 and flips it to a horizontal position. The flipped product is then transported via the second conveying track 106 to the receiving mechanism 400 for collection. This achieves the purpose of automatic testing, significantly improves testing efficiency, and avoids the safety hazards caused by manual operation.
[0025] Preferably, the second flipping mechanism 300 includes a carrier plate 301 and an L-shaped plate 303. Two L-shaped plates 303 are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate 301 via a rotating shaft 302. Both inner surfaces of the L-shaped plates 303 are provided with product positioning grooves. A pulley group 304 is provided between the outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts 302 for transmission. A pneumatic motor 305 is mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate 301. The end of the output shaft of the pneumatic motor 305 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 302.
[0026] After the product is clamped into the product positioning groove on one surface of the L-shaped plate 303, the pneumatic motor 305 is started to drive the rotating shaft 302 to rotate. Through the transmission of the pulley group 304, the two L-shaped plates 303 can be rotated at the same time. When the L-shaped plate 303 rotates 90 degrees, it can drive the product to flip, and can flip the product from horizontal to vertical, or from vertical to horizontal.
[0027] It is worth noting that the structure and working principle of the first flipping mechanism 200 and the second flipping mechanism 300 are the same, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0028] Preferably, the receiving mechanism 400 includes a standard tray receiving machine 401 installed on the outside of the machine base 100, and a third transfer robot 402 is installed on the upper surface of the machine base 100.
[0029] After the second conveyor track 106 transports the tested products to the area below the third transfer robot 402, the third transfer robot 402 picks up the products and places them on the standard tray receiving machine 401, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic receiving.
[0030] Preferably, a waste box 500 is provided on the outer side of the second conveying track 106, and the waste box 500 is connected to the second conveying track 106 by a snap fastener.
[0031] When a product fails the test, the second transfer robot 104 picks up the defective product and puts it into the waste box 500 for collection. The waste box 500 can be quickly disassembled and assembled through a snap-fit installation method to recycle the collected defective products.
[0032] Preferably, the test station 105 is provided in two groups, and each group of test stations 105 includes six test stations 105 connected in series.
[0033] By setting up two sets of 105 test stations, it is possible to test twelve products at once, which greatly improves the factory's testing efficiency. The equipment can test 500 scrap boxes and 600 cooling fans per hour, which is one-third more productive than manual labor, and reduces the number of personnel by 5-6, thus reducing labor costs.
[0034] Preferably, a cooling fan 600 is provided on the upper surface of the machine tool 100 outside the test station 105.
[0035] Since the power-on tests of twelve products are carried out simultaneously, a large amount of heat will be generated. The cooling fan 600 is used to cool the test station 105 by air cooling, which can prevent it from being damaged due to overheating and improve the service life of the equipment.
[0036] The above is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
