[0025] First contact rod (3) and second contact rod (4) are rigid conductor rods, preferably, adopt iron pole or steel pole;

[0026] First contact rod (3) is fixedly connected with the sensing area of the force sensor (6) to be measured;

[0027] Second contact rod (4) is connected with the output end of force output device (1), and can perform linear reciprocating motion under the driving of force output device;

[0028] When detecting the response time of pressure signal:

[0029] Second contact rod (4) is in abutment with first contact rod (3) at the maximum forward position and applies pressure;

[0030] When detecting the response time of tension signal:

[0031] First contact rod (3) and second contact rod (4) are mutually hooked and in a relaxed state, and second contact rod (4) tightens first contact rod (3) at the maximum backward position and applies tension;

[0032] The negative pole of DC power supply (5) is connected to first contact rod (3), and the positive pole is connected to second contact rod (4);

[0033] The oscilloscope (2) includes channel I and channel II;

[0034] The probe of channel I is connected to the first contact rod (3) and the ground wire is connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply. It is used to record the electrical signal generated at the moment when the first contact rod (3) and the second contact rod (4) come into contact.

[0035] The probe and ground wire of channel II are connected to the positive and negative output signal lines of the transmitter (7) of the force sensor, respectively, and are used to record the response signal emitted by the force sensor.

[0036] In use, the response time (delay time) is obtained by comparing the time difference between the signals recorded by Channel I and Channel II.

[0037] Among them, the force output device (1) is a two-way cylinder or a linear motor.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a bidirectional cylinder is selected. During operation, a constant pressure air source, a switching valve, a reversing valve, and a cylinder are connected in series. Each valve is connected to a valve controller. The valve controller controls the reversing valve to connect the air source to the thrust chamber, opens the switching valve, and a constant pressure is injected into the cylinder's thrust chamber, pushing the second contact rod (4) forward and contacting the first contact rod (3) at the maximum forward position, applying pressure.
