[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a timer test fixture, including a test frame 1. A transmission rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the test frame 1. The top end of the transmission rod 2 passes through the test frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a positioning block. A placement frame 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning block through a positioning plate 3. A mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the test frame 1. A cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the mounting frame 5. A tester 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 6 through a drive plate. A first gear 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 2. A positioning groove is opened on the inner side wall of the mounting frame 5. A second gear 95 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the positioning groove through a rotating shaft. A second rack 96 is fixedly connected to the side of the drive plate near the second gear 95.
[0027] The test frame 1 is provided with an ejection mechanism 9, which includes a transmission plate 91 slidably connected in the test frame 1. The top of the transmission plate 91 is provided with a positioning hole, and an internal gear 92 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the positioning hole. The internal gear 92 meshes with the first gear 8. The top of the transmission plate 91 is fixedly connected with an ejection plate 94. The top of the test frame 1 is provided with an ejection groove that matches the ejection plate 94. The top of the transmission plate 91 is fixedly connected with a first rack 93. The top end of the connecting plate passes through the test frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive plate. The first rack 93 meshes with the second gear 95.During operation, a drive frame is fixedly connected to one side of the test rack 1, and a motor is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the drive frame. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the positioning block. The tester 7 is the sum of the tester 7 and camera used in the prior art for testing timers. A controller for receiving signals from the tester 7 is installed on the cylinder 6. The controller controls the start of the cylinder 6. The timer is limited by the placement rack 4 that is in contact with the timer. The ejection mechanism 9, in conjunction with the rotating transmission rod 2, can continuously and automatically test a batch of timers and facilitate the removal of the timers. There is no need to frequently clamp and unclamp the timers, which improves the efficiency of batch testing. That is, the timer corresponding to the size of the placement rack 4 is placed in the placement rack 4. The motor is started, driving the positioning block and transmission rod 2 to rotate. The transmission rod 2, through the positioning plate 3, drives the four equally spaced annular placement racks 4 to rotate at a constant speed. The timing cylinder 6 is activated, driving the tester 7 to descend and approach the timer inside the placement rack 4 via the drive plate. This causes the pressing block on the tester 7, controlled by a hydraulic telescopic rod, to contact the timer's timing button. During this process, the drive plate drives the second rack 96 to descend, and the transmission plate 91 drives the internal gear 92 to descend, causing the internal gear 92 to contact the first gear 8 and, in conjunction with the transmission plate 91, to limit the rotation of the first gear 8. At this point, the transmission rod 2 stops driving the multiple equally spaced annular placement racks 4 to rotate via the positioning plate 3. One of these racks now contains the timer to be tested. The placement rack 4 moves to the bottom of the corresponding tester 7. The pressing block on the tester 7 contacts the timer button, and the camera on the tester 7 simultaneously and automatically observes the result on the timer to determine its accuracy. During this process, the cylinder 6 drives the second rack 96 to descend a certain distance via the drive plate, and then the second rack 96 contacts the first gear 8. At this time, the first gear 8 and the second rack 96 mesh and connect. Then, the second rack 96 drives the first gear 8 to rotate, and the first gear 8 simultaneously drives the first rack 93 to move. The first and second teeth are symmetrically distributed with respect to the second gear 95, so that the first rack 93 drives the transmission plate 91 to rise. When the tester 7 tests the timer to be tested... The transmission plate 91 drives the ejector plate 94 to rise. The ejector plate 94 passes through the ejector slot and ejects the timer in the placement rack 4, which is located directly above the ejector slot, to prevent the timer from being too embedded in the placement rack 4 and difficult to remove. After the timer below the tester 7 is tested, the cylinder 6 is activated, which drives the second rack 96 and the tester 7 to rise and reset via the drive plate. Then, the second gear 95 reverses, and the first rack 93 and the transmission plate 91 descend synchronously, causing the ejector plate 94 to descend synchronously, so that the top of the ejector plate is flush with the top of the test rack 1. The rotation limit on the transmission rod 2 and the placement rack 4 is released, and multiple placement racks 4 continue to rotate. By repeating the above steps, the timer can be tested automatically and continuously.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a threaded hole is located on one side of the placement frame 4, through which a lead screw 10 is threadedly connected. One end of the lead screw 10 extends into the placement frame 4 and is rotatably connected to an adjusting block 11. The other end of the lead screw 10 extends out of the threaded hole and communicates with the outside. During operation, the adjusting block 11 facilitates the adaptation to the limiting requirements of various timers of different sizes, improving adaptability and reducing testing costs. A timer smaller than the inner diameter of the placement frame 4 can be placed inside the placement frame 4, and the lead screw 10 can be rotated to move the adjusting block 11 closer to the timer. Four sets of limiting components are provided and distributed on the four sides of the placement frame 4 to ensure the limiting and clamping effect on the timer.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the test frame 1. The top end of the guide rod 12 passes through the transmission plate 91 and is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the test frame 1. During operation, the guide rod 12 facilitates the movement and limiting of the transmission plate 91, preventing the transmission plate 91 from shifting when moving up and down.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of the test frame 1 has a discharge port 13, and the inner wall of the discharge port 13 has an installation groove. An electric telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation groove. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 14 extends into the discharge port 13 and is fixedly connected to a support block. During operation, a controller for receiving signals from the tester 7 is installed in the installation groove. The controller controls the start of the electric telescopic rod 14. The arrangement of the electric telescopic rod 14, the support block, and the discharge port 13 facilitates the automatic discharge of non-compliant timers in conjunction with the tester 7 and the sensor, eliminating the need for manual removal of non-compliant timers. When the detector detects that a timer is non-compliant, it transmits the data to the controller that can receive the data. The controller then controls the start of the electric telescopic rod 14, which moves the support block into the installation groove, removes the support for the timer, and opens the discharge port 13. The timer then falls into the test frame 1 under the action of gravity. A conveyor belt can be passed through the test frame 1 to directly transport the non-compliant timers that have fallen into the test frame 1 away.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a guide groove 15 is provided on the inner side wall of the discharge port 13. A guide block is slidably connected in the guide groove 15, and one end of the guide block extends out of the guide groove 15 and is fixedly connected to the support block. During operation, the guide block and the guide groove 15 facilitate support for the support block.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, an auxiliary groove is provided at the bottom of the placement rack 4, and a pulley 16 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the auxiliary groove via a pivot. During operation, the auxiliary groove and pulley 16 facilitate the movement of the placement rack 4 and reduce wear caused by the movement of the placement rack 4.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, mounting blocks 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the test frame 1, and mounting holes are provided on the top of the mounting blocks 17. During operation, the mounting blocks 17 and the mounting holes are designed such that the mounting holes are threaded holes that can be used with bolts, so that the test frame 1 can be installed and fixed in the designated position by means of the mounting blocks 17.
[0034] Working principle: A timer corresponding to the size of the placement rack 4 is placed inside the placement rack 4, and the motor is started to drive the positioning block and transmission rod 2 to rotate. The transmission rod 2 drives the four ring-shaped placement racks 4, which are evenly distributed, to rotate at a uniform speed through the positioning plate 3. At the same time, the cylinder 6 is activated to drive the tester 7 to descend and approach the timer inside the placement rack 4 through the drive plate. This causes the pressing block on the tester 7, controlled by the hydraulic telescopic rod, to abut against the timing button of the timer. During this process, the cylinder 6 drives the second rack 96 to descend a certain distance through the drive plate. After the second rack 96 contacts the first gear 8, the first gear 8 and the second rack 96 mesh and connect. Then the second rack 96 drives... The first gear 8 rotates, synchronously driving the first rack 93 to move. The first and second teeth are symmetrically offset relative to the second gear 95, causing the first rack 93 to lift the transmission plate 91. The transmission plate 91 then lifts the internal gear 92, bringing it into contact with the first gear 8 and cooperating with the transmission plate 91 to limit the rotation of the first gear 8. At this point, the transmission rod 2 stops, driving multiple annularly spaced placement racks 4 to rotate via the positioning plate 3. One of the placement racks 4, containing the timer to be tested, moves to below the corresponding tester 7. The pressing block on the tester 7 contacts the timer button, and the test is completed. The camera on device 7 automatically observes the result on the timer to determine its accuracy. During this process, after cylinder 6 drives the second rack 96 to descend a certain distance via the drive plate, the second rack 96 contacts the first gear 8. At this time, the first gear 8 and the second rack 96 mesh, and then the second rack 96 drives the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8 synchronously drives the first rack 93 to move. The first and second teeth are symmetrically distributed relative to the second gear 95, causing the first rack 93 to drive the transmission plate 91 to rise. When the tester 7 tests the timer to be tested, the transmission plate 91 drives the ejector plate 94 to rise. The timer is pushed out of the placement rack 4, which is located directly above the ejection slot, to prevent it from being too embedded in the placement rack 4 and difficult to remove. After the timer below the tester 7 is tested, the cylinder 6 is activated and the second rack 96 and the tester 7 are driven to rise and reset via the drive plate. Then the second gear 95 reverses, the first rack 93 and the transmission plate 91 descend synchronously, and the ejection plate 94 descends synchronously, so that the top of the ejection plate is flush with the top of the test rack 1. The rotation limit on the transmission rod 2 and the placement rack 4 is released, and multiple placement racks 4 continue to rotate. By repeating the above steps, the timer can be tested automatically and continuously.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
