The placement seat 2 is fixedly mounted on the workbench 1 and has a placement slot 3 for placing the switch characteristic tester 4, facilitating quick and accurate positioning and fixing of the tester by testing personnel. The switch characteristic tester 4, located on the workbench 1, is used to test key performance indicators such as contact bounce performance and resistance. 72.5kV is a medium-high voltage level; in 72.5kV switchgear, contact performance is crucial. The switch characteristic tester 4 provides a testing environment close to or equal to this voltage level to evaluate the electrical and mechanical performance of the contacts under high voltage. Through this high-precision testing instrument, accurate measurements can be obtained. The performance parameters of the contacts provide reliable data support for product quality control and improvement. The mounting bracket 5 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1 as a support structure for installing the automatic opening and closing mechanism and the lifting mechanism. The automatic opening and closing mechanism is located on the mounting bracket 5 and automatically opens and closes the switch contacts during the testing process, avoiding the tedious process of manual opening and closing multiple times by the testing personnel, and significantly improving the testing efficiency. The lifting mechanism is also located on the mounting bracket 5 and is used to adjust the height of the automatic opening and closing mechanism, so that the automatic opening and closing mechanism can better contact the switch contacts, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. The entire testing process is more automated and intelligent, reducing the labor intensity of the testing personnel and improving work efficiency.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the automatic opening and closing mechanism includes a mounting box 6, a rotating motor 7, a rotating rod 8, a fixing frame 9, a bidirectional screw 10, two slide blocks 11, and two clamping rings 12.

The rotating rod 8 is rotatably mounted on the mounting box 6, and the top end of the rotating rod 8 is fixed to the output shaft of the rotating motor 7. The fixing frame 9 is fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 8. The bidirectional screw 10 is rotatably mounted on the fixing frame 9. One end of the bidirectional screw 10 extends outside the fixing frame 9 and is fixedly mounted with a rotating block. Both slide blocks 11 are threaded onto the bidirectional screw 10 and slide against the inner wall of the fixing frame 9. The two clamping rings 12 are respectively fixedly mounted on the two slide blocks 11. The clamping rings 12 are used to clamp and fix the control rod for opening and closing the switch contacts.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting box 6 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 5, and the rotating motor 7 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting box 6 as a power source to drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate.

The hydraulic rod 20 is fixedly installed inside the support leg 19 as a drive component to control the lifting and lowering of the moving wheel 21. The hydraulic rod 20 has strong thrust and stable control performance, and can accurately control the moving wheel 21. The moving wheel 21 is fixedly installed on the output rod of the hydraulic rod 20 to realize the movement of the workbench 1, move the device to the side of the switch contact, and detect the switch contact.
