[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-8As shown, a control box switch automatic toggle and light acquisition device includes a frame 7. One end of the frame 7 has a loading cavity 13 for mounting the control box. One end of the frame 7 has a through hole 10 that communicates with the loading cavity 13. An upper plate 11 and a lower plate 9 are rotatably mounted on the upper and lower sides of the through hole 10 on one end of the frame 7. The lower plate 9 is equipped with a plurality of toggle components for toggling the control box switch. The upper plate 11 is equipped with a light acquisition sensor 6.

[0029] Specifically, the upper end of the upper plate 11 and the lower end of the lower plate 9 are rotatably mounted to the side wall of the frame 7 via multiple hinges 5. A light shield 4 is also rotatably mounted on the top of the frame 7 via multiple hinges 5. The light shield 4 rotates downwards to cover the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 9. The hinges 5 facilitate the rotation function. During testing, the black, opaque light shield 4 rotates downwards to cover the entire test area, blocking the upper plate 11, the lower plate 9, and the through-hole 10. The light shield 4 blocks external light or natural light, preventing interference with the light guide plate and fault indicator of the control box, thus avoiding misjudgments. Since the back of the control box extends into the interior of the loading cavity 13, there is almost no extra gap between the through-hole 10 and the loading cavity 13; therefore, light from the loading cavity 13 side will not interfere with the test.

[0030] Specifically, the light sensor 6 has its acquisition end on the upper plate 11 facing the through hole 10, while its wiring end is on the side away from the through hole 10. This allows the light sensor 6 to face the control box during testing, thereby acquiring data on the on / off status of the light guide plate and fault indicator light on the control box.

[0031] Specifically, the actuation assembly includes a motor 1, a connecting rod 16, and an actuating plate 2. One end of the actuating plate 2 has an open U-shaped groove. The other end of the actuating plate 2 is rotatably mounted to the top of the connecting rod 16. The top of the connecting rod 16 has a mounting groove. The other end of the actuating plate 2 is engaged inside the mounting groove and rotatably mounted to the connecting rod 16 via a fixing pin 17. Both ends of the fixing pin 17 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the mounting groove. The fixing pin 17 passes through the end of the actuating plate 2 and is rotatably mounted thereto. A pin shaft 15 is rotatably mounted through the middle of the actuating plate 2, and one end of the pin shaft 15 is connected to the lower plate 9. When the connecting rod 16 moves up and down under the drive of the motor 1, it applies force to one end of the actuating plate 2 via the fixing pin 17, thereby causing the actuating plate 2 to rotate around the pin shaft 15.

[0032] Specifically, the top of the lower plate 9 is integrally connected with multiple partition plates. Each partition plate has a partition groove on its side. The toggle plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the partition plate via a pin 15. The bottom end of the pin 15 is connected to the partition plate, and the U-shaped slot at the end of the toggle plate 2 faces the partition groove. After the control box is installed, the upper ends of the multiple external toggle switches can pass through the partition groove and engage in the U-shaped slot at the end of the toggle plate 2, facilitating subsequent toggle operation as the toggle plate 2 rotates.

[0033] Specifically, the fixed end of motor 1 is installed below the side wall of the lower plate 9. The output end of motor 1 is connected to the bottom end of connecting rod 16. A guide block 8 is also installed above the output end of each motor 1 on the side wall of the lower plate 9. A through hole is provided inside the guide block 8, through which the upper end of connecting rod 16 passes, and connecting rod 16 can slide up and down. Motor 1 is a motor with a telescopic output end, which is a use of existing technology. The telescopic movement of the output end of motor 1 drives the connecting rod 16 to move up and down. The through hole limits the movement of connecting rod 16, making it less prone to wobbling, thereby improving the stability of the upper toggle plate 2.

[0034] Specifically, locking holes 14 are provided through the lower sides of the upper plate 11 and the upper sides of the lower plate 9. Raised plates are connected to the lower sides of the upper end of the lower plate 9, with locking holes 14 passing through them. Overlapping grooves matching the raised plates are provided on the lower sides of the lower end of the upper plate 11, with locking holes 14 passing through them. After the overlapping grooves overlap the raised plates, the upper and lower locking holes 14 are aligned, and locking pins 3 are inserted into the interior of both holes. The overlapping grooves and raised plates ensure that the upper plate 11 and lower plate 9 can connect during use, preventing them from falling off. Simultaneously, the bottoms of the upper plate 11 and lower plate 9 can press against the top of the control box, improving the stability of the control box during testing.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom edge of the through hole 10 is connected to a limiting plate 18. The control box to be tested is placed into the through hole 10. The back of the control box extends into the loading cavity 13. Force plates are connected around the control box. The bottom of the force plate abuts against the top of the limiting plate 18, so that the control box will not fall down into the loading cavity 13.

[0036] In use, the wiring terminals of the light acquisition sensor 6 are connected to the required wires, and the wires are connected to an external receiving device. Before testing, the light shield 4 rotates above the frame 7, the lower plate 9 rotates downward away from the through hole 10, and the upper plate 11 rotates upward away from the through hole 10. The control box to be tested is placed into the through hole 10, with the back of the control box extending into the loading cavity 13. Force plates are connected to all four sides of the control box, and the bottom of the force plates abuts against the top of the limiting plate 18, preventing the control box from falling into the loading cavity 13. Then, the lower plate 9 is rotated upward and the upper plate 11 is rotated downward in sequence, pressing against the edge of the control box placed in the through hole 10. Finally, a locking pin 3 is inserted into the locking hole 14, fixing the connection between the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 9 to prevent the connection from detaching during testing, which could lead to unstable testing and affect the results.

[0037] Multiple toggle switches on the control box are inserted into the partition slots, with each toggle switch corresponding to one partition slot, thus each toggle switch corresponding to a toggle plate 2. The upper end of the toggle switch is engaged in the U-shaped slot at the end of the toggle plate 2. When the U-shaped slot at the end of the toggle plate 2 is moved upward, the toggle switch is moved upward; when the U-shaped slot is moved downward, the toggle switch is moved downward. This allows the toggle switches on the control box to be adjusted by rotating the toggle plate 2. The toggle plate 2 can rotate around the pin 15 by the up-and-down extension and retraction of the connecting rod 16. When the connecting rod 16 moves upward under the drive of the motor 1, the U-shaped slot at the end of the toggle plate 2 moves downward; when the connecting rod 16 moves downward under the drive of the motor 1, the U-shaped slot at the end of the toggle plate 2 moves upward.

[0038] Before testing, motor 1 is connected to the preset fly-by-wire flight control system wires. During the test, the motor 1 can be controlled to operate according to the selected and switching requirements of the fly-by-wire flight control system's working status commands. This enables the automatic toggle switch to be turned and the corresponding working status to be given, thus improving work efficiency and making the system more intelligent.

[0039] During the test, the light sensor 6 collects the on / off status of the light guide plate and fault indicator light on the control box. The collected data is transmitted to an external receiving device for analysis by the staff. Based on the toggle switch's movement and the data collected by the light sensor 6, the staff can analyze the control box's test status. After the test, the locking pin 3 is pulled out, the upper plate 11 is opened by rotating it upwards, and the lower plate 9 is opened by rotating it downwards, allowing the control box to be removed from the through hole 10.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
