Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing, and in particular to the field of water dispenser testing technology, specifically a testing device for water dispensers. Background Technology
[0002] Quality control is a crucial aspect of water dispenser manufacturing, and testing devices play a key role in this process. As a frequently used component, the durability and reliability of the water dispenser's switch directly impact the user experience and the overall quality of the dispenser. Therefore, rigorous impact testing of the switch before it leaves the factory is essential.
[0003] This test simulates the frequent impacts a switch might experience in real-world use, applying a 3kg force to the switch 100,000 times. This high-intensity test aims to comprehensively evaluate the switch's performance. It not only examines the surface for cracks and wear to ensure aesthetic integrity, but also thoroughly inspects internal structural components for damage, ensuring the stability of the internal mechanical structure. The rebound mechanism is also a key testing item, affecting the smoothness of switch operation. Furthermore, since water dispensers are closely related to water, testing for leaks is paramount to prevent safety hazards and equipment damage caused by leaks due to switch problems. Only switches that pass these rigorous tests can ensure the quality of the water dispenser. Therefore, a testing device for water dispenser switches needs to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0043] This utility model proposes a testing device for water dispensers, which is used in the testing process. This utility model does not limit the type of water dispenser, but the structure of the testing device for water dispensers is particularly suitable for testing the water dispensing switch of water dispensers.
[0044] In general, the detection device for water dispensers proposed in this utility model mainly includes a base 1, a manual guide rail module, a linkage unit, and an impact unit. See also... Figure 1 It shows the arrangement of the base 1, the manual guide rail module, the linkage unit and the impact unit.
[0045] To achieve the goal of measuring the water dispenser switch 100,000 times and address the issue of frequent impacts that the needle-simulated switch may experience in actual use, this embodiment provides a technical solution that combines a manual guide rail module and an impact unit to achieve precise control and detection of the water dispenser switch. This solution is simple in structure, easy to operate, and effectively improves detection efficiency and accuracy.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a manual guide rail module is installed on one side of the base 1, and the water dispenser to be tested is installed on the other side. An impact unit is installed on the manual guide rail module through a linkage unit. The push block 3 of the impact unit is directly opposite the switch area of the water dispenser. The impact unit drives the push block 3 to push the switch 100,000 times, effectively detecting whether the switch surface is damaged, whether the internal rebound mechanism can withstand multiple impacts, and whether the switch is stable in opening and closing, and whether water leakage occurs.
[0047] Specifically, the manual guide rail module is vertically mounted on the base 1. The handwheel 2 of the manual guide rail module is located at the top. The base inside the manual guide rail module is composed of corner brackets 4 and connecting steel 6. There are four sets of corner brackets 4 arranged in a ring. The corner brackets 4 are connected to each other by connecting steel 6, forming a square arrangement. The middle space is formed to accommodate the lead screw 7. The lead screw 7 passes through the top cover 9 and is vertically mounted on the base 1. The handwheel 2 is installed at one end of the top extending out of the top cover 9.
[0048] To ensure the stability of the corner frame 4 and the connecting steel 6 after installation, on the one hand, a top cover 9 is bolted to the top of the corner frame 4 and the connecting steel 6, and the bottom is bolted to the base 1; on the other hand, the connecting steel 6 is set into a U-shaped structure, including a vertical end and a horizontal end. The connecting steel 6 is bolted to the corner frame 4 through the horizontal ends on both sides to ensure the connection strength between adjacent structures.
[0049] As mentioned above, the linkage unit is horizontally connected to one side of the manual guide rail module and is positioned close to the water dispenser being tested. For this purpose, the manual guide rail module is matched with the above-mentioned slide rail structure. A guide groove 5 is provided on the inner side of the corner bracket 4 to provide a sliding guide structure. A through hole 8 is provided on the connecting steel 6 near the end of the water dispenser, which passes through the linkage unit to provide a connection channel between the linkage unit and the impact unit.
[0050] Based on this, the connecting rod 10 is inserted into the through hole 8 on the connecting steel 6 to connect with the lead screw 7, and is adjusted up and down as the lead screw 7 rotates to ensure alignment with the water dispenser switch. In use, the connecting rod 10 is set horizontally, with one end located outside the manual guide rail module and the other end passing through the through hole 8. A sliding plate 11 is vertically installed on one end of the connecting rod 10 inside the manual guide rail module, passing through the through hole 8. The other end of the sliding plate 11 is connected to the transmission component 12 sleeved on the lead screw 7. Slider blocks 13 that move up and down are installed on both sides of the sliding plate 11 and are embedded in the guide groove 5. The sliding plate 11 is adjusted vertically up and down with the line of sight along the guide groove 5 inside the bracket 4 through the sliders 13 that are set around it.
[0051] Next, a damping plate 14 is installed on the inner side of the vertical end of the connecting steel 6 near the water dispenser. A gap is formed between a pair of damping plates 14 that passes through the connecting rod 10. The damping plates 14 are used to improve the dynamic stability of the connecting rod 10, thereby optimizing the detection accuracy.
[0052] It should be specifically noted that an impact unit is installed on the end of the linkage unit near the water dispenser. In order to achieve quick installation of the impact unit and avoid problems during the testing process, and to simplify its own structure and installation structure, the impact unit is mounted on the end of the connecting rod 10 near the water dispenser by an impact cylinder 15 through an L-shaped bracket 16. The cylinder shaft of the impact cylinder 15 retracts towards the water dispenser. The push block 3 is connected to the cylinder shaft of the impact cylinder 15, so that the push block 3 of the impact unit is positioned on the switch of the water dispenser when impacted.
[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the end face of the pusher 3 near the water dispenser is designed as a flat or curved surface. The flat or curved surface structure can better adapt to impacts of different angles and forces, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the impact detection unit under various conditions.
[0054] Preferably, the bottom of the base 1 is also equipped with a height adjustment foot 17. The height adjustment foot 17 is installed on the base 1 by bolts. Since the base 1 is also provided with an area for installing the water dispenser to be tested, by adjusting the height adjustment foot 17, it can be ensured that the impact unit and the water dispenser are on the same horizontal plane during testing, and the unevenness of the plane will not lead to inaccurate testing results or incomplete testing.
[0055] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
