[0024] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model and the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort. Furthermore, the design orientation only indicates the relative positional relationship between the components, not the absolute positional relationship.
[0025] This utility model embodiment provides an outboard motor button testing device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 It mainly includes a support table 1, a moving component 2, a pressing point 3, and a pressure sensor 4.
[0026] In this embodiment, the outboard motor button testing device includes a support table 1 with an outboard motor placement area. The outboard motor is placed within this area for button testing. The device also includes a moving component 2, a pressing point 3, and a pressure sensor 4. The moving component 2 is positioned on the support table 1, the pressing point 3 is positioned on and connected to the moving component 2, and the pressure sensor 4's detection point is connected to the pressing point 3. During button testing, the moving component 2 moves the pressing point 3 up and down (the up and down direction is...). Figure 2 The pressure sensor 4 detects and records the pressure value at the pressing point 3 as the pressing point 3 moves up and down (in the X-axis direction) to simulate the button pressing process of the outboard motor. The pressure sensor 4 detects and records the pressure value at the pressing point 3 as the pressing point 3 moves up and down. In this application, the pressing process of the outboard motor is simulated by setting the moving component 2 to drive the pressing point 3 to move up and down, and the button pressing is performed based on the feedback from the outboard motor. The pressure sensor 4 detects and records the pressure value at the pressing point 3, thereby improving the efficiency of outboard motor button testing, saving time and effort, and reducing errors.
[0027] In one possible implementation, the moving component 2 includes a drive motor 21, a turntable 22, an adjusting rod 23, a sliding rod 24, and a slider 25. The motor shaft of the drive motor 21 is connected to the center of the turntable 22. The first end of the adjusting rod 23 is rotatably connected to the edge of the turntable 22, and the second end of the adjusting rod 23 is rotatably connected to the first end of the sliding rod 24. The slider 25 has a limiting hole, and the sliding rod 24 is inserted into the limiting hole. The second end of the sliding rod 24 is connected to the pressing point 3. The drive motor 21 drives the turntable 22 to rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 22, the first end of the adjusting rod 23 moves, and the adjusting rod 23 drives the sliding rod 24 to move. The sliding rod 24 moves up and down under the limiting action of the slider 25. When the sliding rod 24 moves up and down, it drives the pressing point 3 to move up and down, thereby simulating the button press process of an outboard motor. In this application, by setting the adjusting rod 23, which is rotatably connected to the turntable 22 and the sliding rod 24, the constraint forces during the rotation of the turntable 22 and the up and down movement of the sliding rod 24 are counteracted, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of the moving component 2.
[0028] In one possible implementation, the outboard motor button testing device further includes an adjustment component 5. The first end of the adjustment component 5 is connected to the support table 1, and the second end of the adjustment component 5 is connected to the moving component 2. The adjustment component 5 changes its own posture to adjust the front-back position and left-right position of the moving component 2, thereby adjusting the position of the pressing point 3 so that the pressing point 3 is always directly above the outboard motor button, thus improving the accuracy of the outboard motor button test.
[0029] Furthermore, the adjustment component 5 includes a vertical adjustment unit 51 and a horizontal adjustment unit 52. The first end of the vertical adjustment unit 51 is connected to the support table 1, the second end of the vertical adjustment unit 51 is connected to the first end of the horizontal adjustment unit 52, and the second end of the horizontal adjustment unit 52 is connected to the moving component 2. In this application, the vertical position of the moving component 2 is adjusted by setting the vertical adjustment unit 51 and the horizontal adjustment unit 52 (the vertical direction is...). Figure 2 (X-axis direction) and left and right positions (left and right direction is...) Figure 2 The adjustment range and degree of freedom of the moving component 2 are expanded by the Y-axis direction.
[0030] Specifically, the up-down adjustment unit 51 includes a first fixed plate 511 with a first oblong hole. The up-down adjustment unit 51 also includes a first adjustment plate 512 with a first adjustment hole. The first adjustment plate 512 is connected to the moving assembly 2. A fixing bolt passes through the first oblong hole and the first adjustment hole sequentially and is screwed onto a nut, thereby fixing the relative position of the first adjustment plate 512 and the first fixed plate 511, thus fixing the position of the pressing point 3 in the up-down direction. The left-right adjustment unit 52 includes components perpendicular to the first fixed plate 511. The second adjusting plate 521 is integrally connected to the first fixing plate 511. The second adjusting plate 521 is provided with a second waist-shaped hole, and there are two second waist-shaped holes arranged side by side. The left and right adjusting unit 52 also includes a second fixing plate 522. The second fixing plate 522 is provided with a second adjusting hole with the same number as the second waist-shaped hole. The fixing bolt passes through the second waist-shaped hole and the second adjusting hole in sequence and is screwed with a nut to fix the relative position of the second adjusting plate 521 and the second fixing plate 522, thereby fixing the position of the pressing point 3 in the vertical direction.
[0031] In one possible implementation, the outboard motor button testing device further includes a clamping component 6, which is fixed on the support table 1. The clamping component 6 abuts against the outboard motor in the outboard motor placement area, thereby fixing the relative position of the outboard motor and the support table 1, so that the outboard motor does not shift during button testing, thus improving the accuracy of outboard motor button testing.
[0032] Specifically, the clamping assembly 6 includes two clamping blocks 61 arranged on the support table 1. The two clamping blocks 61 are connected to the support table 1. Each clamping block 61 is provided with a clamping rod 62. The outer side of the clamping rod 62 is provided with threads. The clamping block 61 is provided with threaded holes. By adjusting the relative position of the clamping rod 62 and the clamping block 61, the end of the clamping rod 62 is made to abut against the surface of the outboard motor, thereby fixing the placement position of the outboard motor.
[0033] Secondly, a method for testing outboard motor buttons is provided, the outboard motor testing method including:
[0034] The rated pressure when the outboard motor button is pressed is obtained. The moving component moves the pressing point to press the button on the outboard motor so that the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is equal to the rated pressure. The moving component moves the pressing point to rise to complete one button press action.
[0035] The success rate of the button press is calculated based on the feedback signal from the outboard motor, and an alarm is triggered.
[0036] The entity executing this application may be a cloud server.
[0037] In this application, the moving component first moves the pressing point directly above the outboard motor button. Then, the outboard motor is manually pressed, and the button pressure detected by the pressure sensor is obtained, which is the rated pressure. Then, the moving component is controlled to move the pressing point downward until the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor equals the rated pressure. Then, the pressing point is moved upward to complete one button press action. After each button press action, the outboard motor uploads a feedback signal. After receiving the feedback signal, the cloud server increments the button success count by one. If no feedback signal is received from the outboard motor, a fault alarm is generated and the button failure count is incremented by one. The cloud server calculates the button success rate of the outboard motor based on the button success count and the button failure count.
[0038] In one possible implementation, an extreme test time (i.e., the contact time between the pressing point and the outboard motor button) and an extreme test pressure are set, and the outboard motor is tested based on the extreme test time and extreme test pressure to obtain the button effectiveness of the outboard motor under extreme conditions.
