The two mounting plates are respectively set on the left and right sides of the inner sidewall of the left side plate. The two Keyence detection heads are respectively fixed on the two mounting plates. A slider is provided on the side of the mounting plate near the left side plate. A groove is opened on the sidewall of the left side plate for the slider to slide horizontally. The Keyence detection heads, the corresponding grooves, and the mouse button pressure feet are located on the same straight line.

[0006] Preferably, a drive rod is rotatably connected inside the groove, and the two sliders are respectively threaded onto the periphery of the drive rod. The drive rod can drive the two mounting plates to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing member is provided above the detection plate. The fixing member includes two guide rods, a pressure plate and two locking springs. The lower ends of the two guide rods are respectively fixed to the two sides of the upper surface of the detection plate. The pressure plate slides on the two guide rods. The locking springs are sleeved on the periphery of the guide rods. One end of the locking springs abuts against the side wall of the pressure plate. The two locking springs can drive the pressure plate to move closer to the detection plate.

[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the detection plate is provided with a placement groove.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting plate is provided at one end of the detection plate, and a tension spring is provided between the limiting plate and the detection plate.

[0011] Preferably, a drive pull ring is provided at the upper end of the pressure plate.

[0012] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows:

[0013] When testing the height of mouse button press feet, first grasp the drive pull ring and pull the pressure plate away from the detection plate. Then place the mouse in the placement slot of the detection plate. After that, release the pull on the pressure plate. Under the action of the two locking springs, the pressure plate presses the mouse firmly onto the detection plate. At the same time, the limit plate is fixed in the placement slot of the detection plate under the drive of the tension spring. Then rotate the drive rod. Under the threaded engagement of the drive rod and the slider, the two Keyence detection heads move closer or further apart, so that the Keyence detection heads, the corresponding slots, and the mouse button press feet are aligned on the same straight line. Then the height of the mouse button press feet can be tested, thereby determining whether the mouse button press feet are qualified and improving the pass rate of the mouse.
