[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 The invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the invention:

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a testing device for an intelligent lawnmower robot includes a workbench 1, on which a test base 11 is provided. A lawnmower robot 2 is placed on the test base 11. The device also includes a button testing component 3, two sets of collision testing components 4, and a three-axis electrical parameter module 5. The button testing component 3 is located on one side of the test base 11. The collision testing components 4 are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the test base 11. The three-axis electrical parameter module 5 is located on the test base 11. The button testing component 3 is used to test whether the button of the lawnmower robot 2 can be started normally. The collision testing components 4 are used to test the collision function of the lawnmower robot 2. The three-axis electrical parameter module 5 is used to test the wheel assembly and blade information of the lawnmower robot 2.

[0028] Preferably, the button testing assembly 3 includes a robotic arm support 31, a support rod 32, a rotary cylinder 33, and a buffer 34. The robotic arm support 31 is provided with an installation space 311, the rotary cylinder 33 is installed in the installation space 311, the rear end of the support rod 32 is connected to the drive shaft of the rotary cylinder 33, and a buffer 34 is provided at the starting and ending positions of the rotation of the support rod 32.

[0029] Preferably, the button testing assembly 3 further includes several mini cylinders 35 that act on the upper button of the lawnmower 2 and a pressing cylinder 36 that presses down to fix the lawnmower 2. The mini cylinders 35 and the pressing cylinder 36 are both located at the front end of the support rod 32, and the driving shaft of the pressing cylinder 36 is provided with a pressure head 361.

[0030] Specifically, the rotary cylinder 33 in the above structure can drive the support rod 32 to rotate to the left or right to achieve a maximum rotation of 180 degrees, and the buffer 34 can buffer the support rod 32 when rotating to the maximum value.

[0031] More specifically, when the button test assembly 3 is working, the rotating cylinder 33 first drives the support rod 32 to rotate, so that the mini cylinder 35 and the pressing cylinder 36 on the support rod 32 are located at the upper end of the lawn mower robot 2. Then, the pressing cylinder 36 presses down to fix the lawn mower robot 2. Then, the mini cylinder 35 performs button tests on the lawn mower robot 2 in sequence. After the test is completed, the rotating cylinder 33 drives the support rod 32 to return to its position.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the triaxial electrical parameter module 5 includes a PCB main control board 51 and a self-resetting wheel speed measuring module 52. The test base 11 has a cutter head clearance area 111. The PCB main control board 51 is installed in the cutter head clearance area 111. The self-resetting wheel speed measuring module 52 is provided on both sides of the test base 11.

[0033] Specifically, the PCB main control board 51 in the above structure is mainly used to collect information on the left and right wheels and the three axes of the blade motor of the lawnmower 2, so as to calculate the corresponding rotation speed and rotation direction of the lawnmower 2.

[0034] Furthermore, placing the PCB main control board 51 in the cutter head clearance area 111 can effectively improve the waterproof and moisture-proof effect of the PCB main control board 51, thereby extending the service life of the PCB main control board 51.

[0035] Preferably, the self-resetting wheel speed measuring module 52 includes a transmission wheel 521, a rotary encoder 522, and a reset spring 523. The rotary encoder 522 is located at the rear end of the test base 11. The transmission wheel 521 is connected to the rotary encoder 522 and cooperates with the wheel assembly of the lawnmower robot 2. A mounting base 112 is located near the rear end of the test base 11. A connecting rod 1121 is provided on the mounting base 112. The connecting rod 1121 is located between the rotary encoder 522 and the transmission wheel 521. The reset spring 523 is located on the mounting base 112, and the upper end of the reset spring 523 cooperates with the connecting rod 1121, while the lower end of the reset spring 523 cooperates with the mounting base 112.

[0036] Specifically, the rotary encoder 522 in the above structure is a high-resolution rotary encoder 522, which has the advantages of high testing efficiency and high testing accuracy compared with conventional single-pulse induction.

[0037] Furthermore, the return spring 523 can ensure stable and continuous transmission between the transmission wheel 521 and the left and right wheels of the lawnmower robot 2.

[0038] Preferably, the triaxial electrical parameter module 5 further includes a simulated battery pack 53 and at least two photoelectric sensors 54. The rear end of the test base 11 has a battery pack mounting area 113. The simulated battery pack 53 is installed in the battery pack mounting area 113, and the photoelectric sensors 54 are installed in the cutter head clearance area 111.

[0039] Specifically, the corresponding simulated battery pack 53 can be replaced according to different lawnmower robots 2.

[0040] More specifically, during testing, the three-axis electrical parameter module 5 uses a rotary encoder 522 to collect the rotation speed and rotation direction data of the left and right wheels of the lawnmower robot 2, while two photoelectric sensors 54 simultaneously emit photoelectric signals to detect blade signals or non-blade signals. The collected rotation speed and rotation direction data of the left and right wheels, as well as the blade signals or non-blade signals, are all transmitted to the PCB main control board 51.

[0041] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the collision test assembly 4 includes an up-and-down movement cylinder 41 and a front-and-back movement cylinder 42, with the front-and-back movement cylinder 42 disposed on the drive end of the up-and-down movement cylinder 41.

[0042] Specifically, during the test, the collision test component 4 first moves the up and down movement cylinder 41 to drive the front and rear movement cylinder 42 upwards. Then, the front and rear movement cylinder 42 outputs towards the lawn mower robot 2 to test the anti-collision function of the front and rear ends of the lawn mower robot 2.

[0043] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a first fulcrum 6 and a second fulcrum 7. Fixed seats 13 are respectively provided at the lower ends of both sides of the worktable 1. The first fulcrum 6 and the second fulcrum 7 are connected by a rotating spindle 8. A drive motor 9 is also provided near the first fulcrum 6 or the second fulcrum 7. The drive end of the drive motor 9 is connected to the rotating spindle 8.

[0044] Specifically, the drive motor 9 in the above structure drives the rotating spindle 8 to rotate, thereby the first fulcrum 6 and the second fulcrum 7 drive the lawnmower robot 2 to rotate, so as to detect whether the lawnmower robot 2 can stop working when it tilts or overturns.

[0045] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should be included within the scope of the present invention.
