AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, encoder signal testing platforms lack a limiting and fixing structure, leading to hand soreness during prolonged testing. To address this, we propose an encoder signal testing platform that solves the problem of hand soreness caused by the lack of a limiting and fixing structure in existing encoder signal testing platforms.
An encoder signal testing platform was designed, which adopts a limit sleeve and tension spring structure. By pressing the handle, the lifting plate and the needle plate are moved down. The tension spring is used to fix the limit rod, so as to achieve stable contact between the probe and the encoder circuit board and reduce the need for hand pressing.
This eliminates the need to continuously press the handle during testing, improving hand comfort and facilitating quick disassembly and replacement of the pin plate, thus adapting to the testing needs of different encoders.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to an encoder signal testing platform. Background Technology
[0002] Absolute encoders need to be tested before leaving the factory, and this is usually done using an absolute encoder signal test platform.
[0003] A search revealed that the existing technology, specifically the authorized patent CN215296292U, discloses an absolute encoder signal testing platform, comprising: a chassis; a positioning base for positioning and placing the encoder to be tested; a pin plate movably disposed above the positioning base, the pin plate having multiple probes disposed on it, the probes being positioned at test points on the circuit board of the encoder to be tested, the probes being electrically connected to the test circuit; a manual drive mechanism for driving the pin plate to move up and down; and further comprising: an indicator light for indicating the position of the pin plate; a normally open push switch fixedly disposed below the pin plate and used to control the indicator light switch; and a pressing member disposed on the pin plate, its lower end protruding from the lower surface of the pin plate, the pressing member being used to press the normally open push switch when the pin plate is in position. This absolute encoder signal testing platform helps to avoid the problem of incorrect test results caused by incomplete downward movement of the pin plate when manually driven downward.
[0004] However, the above technical solution still has the following shortcomings in use: When the needle plate moves downwards, the device lacks a limiting and fixing structure, requiring the hand to continuously press the L-shaped handle during testing, which can lead to hand soreness after prolonged use. To address this issue, we propose an encoder signal testing platform. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an encoder signal testing platform to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an encoder signal testing platform, comprising:
[0007] A testing chassis has a positioning seat mounted on its top wall and a display screen mounted on the top wall. Two support rods are fixedly mounted on the top wall of the testing chassis. A mounting plate is welded to one side wall of each support rod, and a mounting rod is welded to the mounting plate. A limit sleeve is welded to the mounting rod, and a sliding rod is slidably connected within the limit sleeve. A pressing handle is mounted at the top of the sliding rod, and a lifting plate is welded to the bottom of the sliding rod. A needle plate is mounted on the lifting plate. The device is equipped with multiple probes. The probe plate is positioned above the positioning seat. A fixing seat is fixedly welded onto the mounting plate. The fixing seat is positioned on one side of the limiting sleeve. A limiting rod is slidably connected to the fixing seat through a through hole. The end of the limiting rod near the limiting sleeve passes through the limiting sleeve and is slidably connected to it. A pull plate is fixedly welded to the outer end of the limiting rod. A tension spring is fitted onto the limiting rod. The two ends of the tension spring are fixedly connected to the fixing seat and the pull plate, respectively. A limiting groove adapted to the limiting rod is provided on the sliding rod.
[0008] Preferably, a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably mounted on the lifting plate, and guide rods are fixedly welded to both side walls of the lifting plate. Each of the two guide rods is slidably connected to a locking seat, and both locking seats are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw through threaded holes. A locking block is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the locking seat.
[0009] Preferably, the needle plate has snap-fit grooves on both sides of its side walls, and the snap-fit grooves are adapted to the snap-fit blocks.
[0010] Preferably, two insert rods are fixedly welded to the inner wall of the needle plate, and two slots are opened on the side wall of the lifting plate, with the insert rods matching the slots.
[0011] Preferably, a knob is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional lead screw.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. When this utility model is in use, after pressing the handle to slide the slide rod downward, the lifting plate can be moved downward, thereby moving the needle plate downward. This causes multiple probes on the needle plate to move downward and contact the test points on the circuit board of the encoder under test. Then, the tension spring acting on the lifting plate causes the limiting rod to slide into the aligned limiting groove, thereby limiting and fixing the slide rod. This ensures that multiple probes maintain stable contact with the test points on the circuit board of the encoder under test, eliminating the need to continuously press the handle downward during the test, thus improving hand comfort during the test.
[0014] 2. The lifting plate of this utility model drives two locking seats to move in opposite directions through a bidirectional lead screw, so that the locking block is locked in the locking groove to install and fix the needle plate. This makes it easy to remove and install the needle plate from the lifting plate, so that when testing different encoders, the needle plate with the corresponding specification probe can be quickly replaced according to the encoder.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an encoder signal testing platform, comprising:
[0021] A testing chassis 1 has a positioning seat 2 mounted on its top wall and a display screen 3 mounted on its top wall. Two support rods 4 are fixedly mounted on the top wall of the testing chassis 1. A mounting plate 5 is welded to one side wall of each support rod 4. A mounting rod 6 is welded to the mounting plate 5. A limit sleeve 7 is welded to the mounting rod 6. A sliding rod 8 is slidably connected inside the limit sleeve 7. A pressing handle 9 is mounted on the top of the sliding rod 8. A lifting plate 10 is welded to the bottom of the sliding rod 8. A needle plate 11 is mounted on the lifting plate 10, and multiple probes are mounted on the needle plate 11. 12. The needle plate 11 is disposed above the positioning seat 2. A fixing seat 13 is fixedly welded to the mounting plate 5. The fixing seat 13 is disposed on one side of the limiting sleeve 7. A limiting rod 14 is slidably connected to the fixing seat 13 through a through hole. One end of the limiting rod 14 near the limiting sleeve 7 passes through the limiting sleeve 7 and is slidably connected to the limiting sleeve 7. A pull plate 15 is fixedly welded to the outer end of the limiting rod 14. A tension spring 16 is sleeved on the limiting rod 14. The two ends of the tension spring 16 are fixedly connected to the fixing seat 13 and the pull plate 15 respectively. A limiting groove 17 adapted to the limiting rod 14 is provided on the sliding rod 8.
[0022] A bidirectional lead screw 18 is rotatably mounted on the lifting plate 10. Guide rods 19 are fixedly welded to both sides of the lifting plate 10. A locking seat 20 is slidably connected to each of the two guide rods 19. The two locking seats 20 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 18 through the screw holes. A locking block 21 is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the locking seat 20.
[0023] The needle plate 11 has snap-fit grooves 22 on both sides of its side walls, and the snap-fit grooves 22 are adapted to the snap-fit block 21.
[0024] Two insertion rods 23 are fixedly welded to the inner wall of the needle plate 11, and two slots 24 are opened on the side wall of the lifting plate 10, with the insertion rods 23 and slots 24 being adapted to each other.
[0025] A knob 25 is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional lead screw 18.
[0026] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, pressing the handle 9 to slide the slide bar 8 downwards will drive the lifting plate 10 to move downwards, thereby driving the needle plate 11 to move downwards. This causes the multiple probes 12 on the needle plate 11 to move downwards and contact the test points on the circuit board of the encoder under test. Then, the tension spring 16 acts on the pull plate 15 to drive the limit rod 14 to slide into the aligned limit groove 17, thereby limiting and fixing the slide bar 8. This ensures that the multiple probes 12 maintain stable contact with the test points on the circuit board of the encoder under test, eliminating the need to continuously press the handle 9 downwards during the test, thus improving hand comfort. The lifting plate 10 drives the two locking seats 20 to move towards each other through the bidirectional lead screw 18, causing the locking block 21 to engage in the locking groove 22 to install and fix the needle plate 11. This makes it easy to remove and install the needle plate 11 from the lifting plate 10, allowing for quick replacement of the needle plate 11 with the corresponding specification probes 12 when testing different encoders.
