[0020] In order to enable the clamping mechanism 7 to fix travel switches 5 of different sizes on the detection table 2, the following improvements are made:

[0021] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , four longitudinal sliding slots 4 are formed on the detection table 2. The clamping mechanism 7 includes four clamping blocks 704, which are respectively located in the four longitudinal sliding slots 4 and can slide therein. The driving bevel gear engages with a second driven bevel gear 609, which is fixed on a second transmission shaft 701. The second transmission shaft 701 is provided with a second clutch 702, and the housing of the second clutch 702 is fixed in the detection table 2.

After the reciprocating lead screw 603 rotates, it will drive the reciprocating slide block 602 to move forward and backward. After the reciprocating slide block 602 moves forward and backward, it will drive the detection plate block 601 to move forward and backward. After the detection plate block 601 moves forward and backward, it will continuously press the lever on the travel switch 5, so as to simulate the continuous work of the travel switch 5 driven by the external mechanical part, and the service life of the travel switch 5 can be detected.

[0026] S3, loosen the workpiece: refer to step S1, control the second clutch 702 to be combined, reverse the driving motor 606, and the clamping blocks 704 on the clamping frame 705 move forward and backward, so that the clamping blocks 704 on both sides of the detection table 2 move away from each other, and the travel switch 5 is loosened. The travel switch 5 can be taken away, and the detection is completed.

[0027] The characteristics of the present application are as follows:

[0028] S1, the driving motor can drive the first transmission shaft to rotate, and after the first transmission shaft rotates, it will drive the reciprocating lead screw to rotate, so as to drive the reciprocating slide block to move forward and backward, and after the reciprocating slide block moves forward and backward, it will drive the detection plate block to move forward and backward, so that the detection plate block continuously presses the lever on the travel switch, so as to simulate the continuous work of the travel switch driven by the external mechanical part, and the service life of the travel switch is detected.

[0029] S2, the second transmission shaft can be driven to rotate by the driving motor, the second transmission shaft rotates and drives the threaded screw rod to rotate, the screw nut moves forward and backward, thereby driving the clamping blocks on the clamping frame to move forward and backward, the clamping blocks on both sides of the detection table are close to each other, and the different size travel switches are fixed on the detection table, so that different size travel switches can be detected.
