Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic testing technology for laptops, and specifically to a gesture simulation testing device for electronic products. Background technology:
[0002] With the rapid advancement of electronic products, most electronic products now use touchscreens or touchpads to allow users to operate them, thereby improving ease of use. For example, the touchpad on a laptop mainly serves as a replacement for the mouse, controlling the cursor on the screen by sensing finger movements to perform actions such as clicking and swiping. Touchpads can also be configured with advanced gestures, allowing users to customize various three-finger and four-finger operations through system settings to suit different usage habits and needs.
[0003] To ensure the quality of touchpads and the user experience, manufacturers need to conduct gesture tests on laptop touchpads during production. In the past, manufacturers used manual methods for testing, which was inefficient. Later, this task was generally completed by specialized touch gesture testing equipment. This equipment simulates various gesture operations performed by users in actual use, such as single click, double click, swipe, and long press, to test the touchpad's response speed, accuracy, and stability.
[0004] Currently available touch gesture testing devices can replace manual touchpad testing. For example, Chinese utility model patent application CN213600807U discloses an automatic touchpad testing device for laptops, comprising a support base and a laptop. A bracket is mounted on the top of the support base, and a rotating mechanism is mounted on the bracket. The bracket is mounted on the support base, a second bracket slides on the bracket via the rotating mechanism, a third bracket slides on the bracket via a motor, and a sliding plate slides on the third bracket. A pressure sensor mounted on a fixed plate monitors the pressure value of the touchpad in real time, effectively preventing mechanical damage. The stylus can be set via software to operate in two modes: intermittent ion air cleaning or continuous ion air cleaning, or it can be set to clean every time the computer is turned on. The cleaning air is blown out after passing through a sponge filter, ensuring that the air level and dust do not remain on the stylus surface, greatly protecting the computer's appearance.
[0005] However, the aforementioned existing devices for automatically testing laptop touchpads still have the following shortcomings:
[0006] In this technical solution, the pressure value on the touchpad is monitored by a pressure sensor on the fixed plate to ensure that the touchpad is not mechanically damaged. The testing method simulates a single finger touching the touchpad, but it does not have the ability to simulate multiple fingers (two fingers, three fingers, and four fingers, etc.) or the palm touching the touchpad. Moreover, the test results of the equipment often differ significantly from the test results of quality control personnel, resulting in poor test yield, low efficiency, and difficulty in ensuring quality.
[0007] In view of the above, the inventors propose the following technical solution. Utility Model Content:

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0034] See Figures 1 to 13 As shown, an electronic product gesture simulation testing device includes: a platform 1, on which a robotic arm module 2 is mounted, and a first visual positioning module 3 is mounted above the platform 1; a palm module 4, which is slidably mounted on the platform 1; a finger module 5, which is mounted on the robotic arm module 2, and the finger module 5 is provided with several mechanical fingers 54 for simulating human gestures; a pressure sensing module 6, which is mounted on the platform 1; a fixed plate 7, which is slidably mounted on the platform 1 and used to carry a laptop computer 10 for movement; and a second visual positioning module 8, which is mounted on the platform 1 and used to visually position the mechanical fingers 54 of the finger module 5. After the pressure sensing module 6 completes pressure testing on the finger module 5 and the palm module 4, the first visual positioning module 3 performs visual positioning on the laptop computer 10 fixed on the fixed plate 7, and performs simulated pressing tests on the laptop computer 10 through the finger module 5 and the palm module 4.
[0035] In this invention, the pressure sensing module 6 automatically checks the test pressure of the palm module 4 and the finger module 5, and the finger module 5 simulates the tester's testing techniques, realizing the testing of different gesture functions such as single-finger and multi-finger gestures. While ensuring efficiency, it effectively reduces the difference between the equipment and the tester during testing, greatly improving the test yield and ensuring product quality. In addition, compared with the existing structure, this invention adds a palm module 4 that can simulate palm movements, enhancing the testing coverage and making it compatible with testing various electronic products that require human-computer interaction. Furthermore, this invention uses a first visual positioning module 3 to position the laptop 10 and a second visual positioning module 8 to position the palm module 4 and the finger module 5, effectively improving the stability and accuracy of the test and ensuring the quality of the test.
[0036] The finger module 5 includes: a finger fixing plate 51 connected to the robotic arm module 2; several servo motors 52 mounted on the finger fixing plate 51; several lead screw motors 53 mounted on the finger fixing plate 51 and connected to the servo motors 52; and several mechanical fingers 54 connected to the lead screw motors 53 and used to simulate human hand gestures. The finger fixing plate 51 has a connecting groove 511 formed on it for connecting to the robotic arm module 2. There are four servo motors 52, and correspondingly, there are also four lead screw motors 53. Each lead screw motor 53 has a lead screw motor connector 531, and the output end of the servo motor 52 is connected to the lead screw motor connector 531 so that the servo motor 52 can drive the lead screw motor 53 to rotate. In this embodiment, the finger module 5 has four mechanical fingers 54, each equipped with a miniature cylinder 57. Each mechanical finger 54 can be positioned using polar coordinates, and the miniature cylinder 57 controls the clicking action of the mechanical finger 54, thereby simulating a human hand touching or pressing on the touchpad 100 of the laptop computer 10. Combined with... Figure 9 The image shows some examples of shortcut gestures for finger module 5: pressing and sliding two fingers up and down is equivalent to scrolling the mouse wheel up and down; pinching and opening two fingers can zoom in or out of the screen content; sliding three fingers left and right can switch between different tasks; sliding four fingers left and right can switch between multiple desktops; double-clicking with one finger is equivalent to double-clicking the left mouse button, etc.
[0037] The polar coordinate positioning method described above is a coordinate positioning method that uses distance and angle to determine the position of a point on a plane. In this method, polar coordinates consist of two parameters: distance (r) and angle (θ). The distance (r) is the distance from the mechanical finger 54 to the origin (polar point); the angle (θ) is the angle between the mechanical finger 54 and the polar axis. Combined with... Figure 11 As shown, the second vision positioning module 8 can measure the angle θ between the position of the mechanical finger 54 and the axis, as well as the distance r between the position of the mechanical finger 54 and the second vision positioning module 8, thereby locating the accurate position information of the mechanical finger 54. If the position of each mechanical finger 54 meets the preset position of the test, the positioning is completed and the test is entered. If the position of any mechanical finger 54 does not meet the preset position of the test, the mechanical finger 54 is driven to move to the preset position by the servo motor 52 and the lead screw motor 53 of the finger module 5.
[0038] The hand module 4 includes: a slide rail assembly 41 mounted on the machine base 1; a slide block 42 slidably mounted on the slide rail assembly 41; a telescopic cylinder 43 rotatably mounted on the slide block 42; a pressing cylinder 44 located at the end of the telescopic cylinder 43 and distributed vertically; and a robotic hand 45 driven by the pressing cylinder 44 for lifting and lowering. Here, the hand module 4 has two robotic hands 45. The robotic hands 45 move along the X-axis via the slide rail assembly 41 and are positioned by telescopic movement along the Y-axis via the telescopic cylinder 43. The robotic hands 45 move along the Z-axis via the pressing cylinder 44, thereby simulating human hand pressing operations on the touchpad 100 and can cooperate with the finger module 5 for testing operations. Figure 10 The image shows some examples of quick gestures when the palm module 4 and finger module 5 work together: pressing with the fingers and the thenar eminence of the palm of one hand opens the action center; pressing with the thenar eminence of the left hand and the fingers of the right hand switches the virtual desktop; pressing with the thenar eminence of the right hand and the fingers of the left hand opens the search box, and so on.
[0039] The fixing plate 7 includes: a base 71 disposed on the table surface of the machine tool 1, at least two first fixing blocks 72 disposed on the base 71 for limiting the position of the laptop computer 10, and at least two second fixing blocks 73 disposed on the base 71 for limiting the position of the laptop computer 10. The base 71 has a plurality of mounting holes 711 arranged thereon. The first fixing blocks 72 have protruding first protrusions 721 for insertion into the mounting holes 711, and the second fixing blocks 73 have protruding second protrusions 731 for insertion into the mounting holes 711. The positions of the first fixing blocks 72 and the second fixing blocks 73 can be adjusted by inserting them into different mounting holes 711. In actual use, this can be adjusted according to the size of the laptop computer 10 to accommodate electronic products of various sizes, thus improving applicability.
[0040] The pressure sensing module 6 includes a sensor base 61 disposed on the machine base 1 and a pressure sensor 62 mounted on the sensor base 61. The pressure sensor 62 has a pressing part 621 on its top. When the pressing part 621 is pressed, it will retract downward and squeeze the force measuring mechanism inside the pressure sensor 62, so that the pressure sensor 62 can measure the pressure value.
[0041] The robotic arm module 2 includes: a drive base 21 mounted on the machine base 1; a first transmission arm 22 connected to the drive base 21 in a tractable manner; a second transmission arm 23 connected to the first transmission arm 22 in a tractable manner; and a lifting rod 24 vertically mounted on the second transmission arm 23. The lower end of the lifting rod 24 protrudes and is formed with a connecting shaft 241 for connecting to the finger module 5. Here, the connecting shaft 241 is connected to the connecting groove 511 of the finger fixing plate 51, allowing the finger module 5 to move with the robotic arm module 2.
[0042] The machine tool 1 is also equipped with a protective cover assembly 9 for enhanced protection. The first visual positioning module 3 includes a first fixing plate 31 disposed within the protective cover assembly 9, a first visual sensor 32 disposed on the first fixing plate 31, and a first lens 33 disposed on the first visual sensor 32. The second visual positioning module 8 includes a second fixing plate 81 disposed within the machine tool 1, a second visual sensor 82 disposed on the second fixing plate 81, and a second lens 83 disposed on the second visual sensor 82. Here, the first visual positioning module 3 positions the laptop computer 10, and the second visual positioning module 8 positions the palm module 4 and finger module 5, effectively improving the stability and accuracy of the test and ensuring the quality of the test.
[0043] In addition, the protective cover assembly 9 is equipped with a display 93 for displaying test information, and a tri-color light 94 for displaying the working status, so that the operator can check the test status in a timely manner and take timely action in case of special circumstances.
[0044] In summary, this invention automatically checks the test pressure of the palm module 4 and finger module 5 through the pressure sensing module 6, and simulates the tester's testing techniques through the finger module 5, realizing the testing of different gesture functions such as single-finger and multi-finger gestures. While ensuring efficiency, it effectively reduces the difference between the equipment and the tester during testing, greatly improving the test yield and ensuring product quality. In addition, compared with the existing structure, this invention adds a palm module 4 that can simulate palm movements, enhancing the testing coverage and making it compatible with testing various electronic products that require human-computer interaction. Furthermore, this invention uses a first visual positioning module 3 to position the laptop 10 and a second visual positioning module 8 to position the palm module 4 and finger module 5, effectively improving the stability and accuracy of the test and ensuring the quality of the test.
[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the finger module 5 is moved above the second visual positioning module 8 by the mechanical arm module 2. The second visual positioning module 8 checks the position of the four mechanical fingers 54 and compares the image with the spatial position in the template library. If it does not match the preset position, the corresponding servo motor 52 and lead screw motor 53 control the mechanical fingers 54 to move to the preset position that meets the test gesture. Similarly, the palm module 4 is moved above the second visual positioning module 8 by the slide rail group 41 and the second visual positioning module 8 checks the mechanical palm 45. If it does not match the preset position, the telescopic cylinder 43 drives the mechanical palm 45 to adjust to the preset position.
[0046] Furthermore, the laptop 10 to be tested is placed on the fixing plate 7, and the laptop 10 is fixed by the first fixing block 72 and the second fixing block 73 to ensure that the laptop 10 will not accidentally slide and affect the test results during the test.
[0047] Furthermore, the fixing plate 7 is placed below the first visual positioning module 3, and the first visual positioning module 3 positions the laptop 10 to ensure that the touchpad 100 of the laptop 10 is in a preset position so that the palm module 4 and finger module 5 can be tested.
[0048] Finally, the touchpad 100 of the laptop 10 is tested by the palm module 4 and the finger module 5. The finger module 5 can simulate human fingers to perform various gestures of one finger, two fingers, three fingers and four fingers. The palm module 4 can simulate human palm to perform relevant functional tests on electronic products, which can reproduce the manual testing method and ensure the consistency of the test.
