[0031] This lock fixing force testing device adopts a modular design, mainly consisting of a turntable positioning mechanism 1, an operating table 2, a support frame 3, a lifting cylinder mechanism 4, and a testing and reset mechanism 5. During operation, the turntable positioning mechanism transports the lock to be tested to the testing station. The lifting cylinder mechanism drives the testing and reset mechanism to descend to the testing position, and the gravity of the weights is used to apply a tensile force to test the lock's fixing force, thus achieving precise testing of the lock's fixing force.

The inspection station 15 is set on the movable plate 14. The turntable drive mechanism includes a motor, coupling, and reducer assembled and connected below the turntable. Specifically, it consists of a servo motor, a precision planetary reducer, and a flexible coupling to ensure the turntable positioning accuracy is ±0.05°. 5-10 bearing fixtures 16 are set at the inspection station 15 above the turntable 11, with 6-8 being common. The bearing fixtures 16 are aluminum alloy bases with hard anodized surfaces. Adjustable stops 161 are set at the front and rear of the bearing fixtures for axial positioning of the lock. The bearing fixtures are located on the left and right sides... The device is equipped with a tooling fixture 162, whose grippers are cylindrical. The turntable is also equipped with a turntable positioning device, which is directly connected to the central axis of the turntable to monitor the absolute position of the turntable in real time. The turntable positioning device is a photoelectric sensor. In this embodiment, a high-precision photoelectric encoder (SICK SFM60-HZZ0-S03) is used. The operation process is as follows: the operator places the lock on the supporting tooling, the bottom surface of the lock contacts the stop block, and the two sides are automatically clamped by pneumatic clamps. The positioning accuracy is confirmed by the photoelectric encoder. The servo motor drives the turntable to rotate the detection station to the position to be detected. The power signal terminal of the motor is connected to the PLC control device. The dwell time of each detection station is 23 seconds.

The end of the lifting cylinder 41 is a threaded joint 42, which is fixedly connected to a first connecting block 45 by bolts. The first connecting block 45 is fixedly connected to a second connecting plate 46 in the vertical direction.
[0034] The cylinder platform 48 is provided with an extended guide plate 481. The guide plate 481 has a guide rod 43 arranged parallel to the lifting cylinder 41. A floating joint 44 is connected to the end of the guide rod 43. A second connecting block 47, which is connected to the second connecting plate 46, is fixed to the end of the floating joint 44. The second connecting block 47 and the second connecting plate 46 are connected by bolts. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the floating joint through the second connecting plate and the second connecting block. The floating joint eliminates installation errors, ensures uniform force distribution, and ensures the linkage between the lifting cylinder and the guide rod, thus promoting the smooth operation of the lifting cylinder mechanism. In addition, the lifting cylinder 41 is equipped with a magnetic induction switch with a response time of <5ms. The signal terminal of the magnetic induction switch is connected to a PLC control device. The PLC controls a proportional solenoid valve through a PWM signal to achieve adjustable cylinder speed. In this embodiment, the PLC control device is a Siemens PLC.
[0035] The detection reset mechanism 5 includes a horizontal carrier plate 51, a reset cylinder 52, a weight 53, and a pusher 54.

A fixing column 63 is provided on the outside of the horizontal carrier plate 51. The fixing column is above the detection station 15. The fixing column is used to press the lock to be tested after the lifting cylinder mechanism descends, to prevent the lock from moving during the test.
[0036] A sliding groove 55 and a sliding rail 56 matching the sliding groove 55 are provided below the horizontal carrier plate 51. A fixing block 471 is provided below the sliding rail 56. A terminal post 62 is provided on the outside of the fixing block 471. A first extension block 472 and a second extension block 473 are provided at both ends of the fixing block 471. A push head 54 is provided on the outside of the first extension block 472. A limiting hole is provided at the lower end of the second extension block 473.
[0037] A pulley 60 is installed at the bottom of the first vertical carrier plate 474. Below the pulley 60, a weight 53 is installed. The weights are selectable from 0.5 to 20 kg. The weight 53 is fixed to a terminal block 62 via a thin thread passing through the pulley 60. The terminal block 62 extends from the top of the recess of the pulley 60. The pulley 60 is a precision bearing pulley with a friction coefficient of less than 0.01. The thin thread is made of high-strength nylon. A reset cylinder 52 is installed on the second vertical carrier plate 475. The piston rod of the reset cylinder 52 passes through a limiting hole, and the end of the piston rod is positioned relative to the limiting hole.
[0038] The control panel is surrounded by a closed transparent protective cover. A safety light curtain is installed at the opening of the loading area. An emergency stop button is also installed on the outside of the protective cover. In addition, the same fixing force detection device can be installed above the idle turntable detection station to realize multi-station detection, speed up the detection efficiency and reduce the detection space.
[0039] The working process of the lifting cylinder mechanism and the detection reset mechanism is as follows: the lifting cylinder descends to the detection position, aligning the pusher head with the lock detection position; the reset cylinder pushes the piston rod forward, and the test weight moves the terminal block through a thin wire, applying a pulling force of the weight to the pusher head. In this embodiment, a 1KG weight is used to accurately control the fixing force of the lock under test. The selection of the weight set can meet different fixing force testing environments. The locking force is judged by observing whether the lock plate can be pressed down completely. After the test is completed, the PLC controls the reset cylinder to pull back the piston rod, resetting the weight and pusher head, and the lifting cylinder returns to the initial position. After using this lock fixing force testing device, the testing efficiency is increased by 400%, the stable weight pulling force significantly improves the testing accuracy, and the labor cost is reduced by 60%.
[0040] This invention does not improve any software programs or methods. This invention only designs the structure of the detection device. The methods or software programs involved in the debugging and control of the PLC control device and sensors are all based on existing methods or software program design books, manuals or product manuals by those skilled in the art, combined with the functions involved in the principles and effects of this invention, and can be implemented by writing their own programs.
[0041] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
