Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible touch testing instruments, and in particular to a multi-angle flexible touch testing instrument. Background Technology

[0002] A tactile tester, also known as a fabric tactile tester, is a scientific instrument that objectively quantifies the tactile feel of a fabric by measuring its physical properties. This instrument typically tests parameters such as thickness, compression, bending, surface friction, and thermal properties to predict tactile indicators such as smoothness, softness, and warmth retention of the fabric.

[0003] Existing tactile testing instruments generally use a vertical force applied to the fabric to test its resilience data, thereby determining the fabric's tactile value. However, in actual wear, the fabric will also be subjected to forces at different angles, so the vertical force testing method is not very accurate. Utility Model Content
