In this regard, directional terms such as “top,” “bottom,” “left,” “right,” “up,” “down,” etc., are used with reference to the orientation of the described figures. Because components of the embodiments can be positioned in several different orientations, directional terms are used for illustrative purposes and are by no means limiting. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.

[0023] This application discloses a remote control joystick testing device. The specific structure of the remote control joystick testing device according to an embodiment of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The remote control joystick testing device 100 includes a test platform 10, a test fixture 20, a frame 30, a drive mechanism 40, and a controller (not shown in the figure). The test platform 10 is used for mounting and supporting the overall structure; the test fixture 20 is mounted on the test platform 10 and is used to place the remote control 200 under test; the frame 30 is mounted on the test platform 10 above the test fixture 20; the drive mechanism 40 is mounted on the frame 30, and the output end of the drive mechanism 40 faces the joystick 201 of the remote control 200 under test; the controller is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 40 and is used to control the drive mechanism 40 to drive the joystick 201 under test to reciprocate in at least one direction.

[0025] It should be noted that although the controller is not explicitly shown in the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that the controller can be set on the test bench or in other places, as long as the controller is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 40. The controller can be set separately or as an integral part of the drive mechanism 40. There are no specific restrictions on the actual location of the controller. Those skilled in the art should be able to make reasonable selections and designs based on the actual situation.

[0026] By placing the remote control under test 200 on the test fixture 20, and then controlling the drive mechanism 40 via the controller to drive the joystick 201 under test to swing back and forth, the swing test of the joystick is automated. Compared with the prior art of manually performing swing tests, the remote control joystick testing device 100 of this embodiment can significantly improve the efficiency of joystick durability testing.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 3In one specific embodiment, the drive mechanism 40 includes a mounting block 41, a connecting block 42, and a drive component 43. The mounting block 41 is mounted on the frame 30. One end of the connecting block 42 is connected to the mounting block 41, and the other end is connected to the drive component 43. The drive component 43 is electrically connected to the controller, and the output end of the drive component 43 is tilted towards the rocker arm 201 under test.

[0028] In this embodiment, two sets of drive mechanisms 40 are symmetrically arranged on the frame 30, which are used to perform swing tests on the two rocker arms 201 of the remote controller 200 under test.

[0029] In this embodiment, the driving component 43 is a cylinder, and a push rod 431 is connected to the output end of the driving component 43. A silicone sleeve 432 is fitted onto the end of the push rod 431. When the driving component 43 drives the rocker arm 201 under test to swing, the silicone sleeve 432 can protect the rocker arm 201 under test.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, multiple drive members 43 are arranged in a circular array on the connecting block 42, and the multiple drive members 43 are used to alternately drive the rocker arm 201 under test to swing back and forth in multiple directions.

[0031] In this embodiment, four drive units 43 are arranged in a circular array, and the four drive units 43 perform swing tests on the rocker arm 201 under test in four directions: front, back, left, and right.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, the end of the connecting block 42 is provided with a plurality of connecting portions 421 in a ring array. The connecting portions 421 are provided with waist-shaped holes 422. The driving member 43 is fixedly sleeved with a mounting portion 433, and the mounting portion 433 is provided with a mounting hole (not shown in the figure). The waist-shaped holes 422 and the mounting holes are connected by a connector.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connecting component is a bolt.

[0034] In this way, by connecting and cooperating the waist-shaped hole 422 of the connecting part 421 and the mounting hole of the mounting part 433, the mounting position of each driving member 43 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of multiple driving members 43 to form a clamping position, and thus adapting to the rocker arm 201 of different sizes to be tested.

[0035] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In one specific embodiment, the mounting block 41 is L-shaped, with one end of the mounting block 41 connected to the frame 30 and the other end extending vertically downward. The connecting block 42 slides and connects to the mounting block 41 in the vertical direction.

[0036] By adjusting the mounting position of the connecting block 42 on the mounting block 41, the mounting height of the entire drive mechanism 40, i.e. the distance in the Z-axis direction, can be adjusted to adapt to different mounting positions of the joysticks of different models of remote controls.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In one specific embodiment, the frame 30 includes a first arm 31 arranged horizontally and two second arms 32 arranged parallel to both ends of the first arm 31. The mounting block 42 is slidably connected to the first arm 31 along the length direction of the first arm 31, and the two ends of the first arm 31 are slidably connected to the two second arms 32 along the length direction of the second arms 32, respectively.

[0038] By adjusting the mounting position of the mounting block 41 on the first arm 31, the mounting distance of the entire drive mechanism 40 in the X-axis direction can be adjusted. By adjusting the mounting position of the first arm 31 on the second arm 32, the mounting distance of the entire drive mechanism 40 in the Y-axis direction can be adjusted, thereby adapting to different mounting positions of the joysticks of different models of remote controls.

[0039] In this embodiment, referring to the connection method of the connecting part 421 and the mounting part 433, the connection method of the connecting block 42 and the mounting block 41, the connection method of the mounting block 41 and the first support arm 31, and the connection method of the first support arm 31 and the second support arm 32 are also adopted to achieve sliding connection. Those skilled in the art will know this connection method, and the specific connection structure will not be described in detail here.

[0040] In this way, the installation distance of multiple drive components 43 can be adjusted arbitrarily in the three directions of XYZ axis, so as to better adapt to the different installation positions of the joysticks of different models of remote controls.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The test fixture 20 includes a mounting platform 21, a first positioning block 22, a second positioning block 23, and a clamping block 24. There are two first positioning blocks 22, one on each side of the mounting platform 21, used to position the sides of the remote control 200 under test. The second positioning block 23 is located on the test bench 10 on one side of the mounting platform 21, used to position the bottom of the remote control 200 under test. One end of the clamping block 24 is connected to the first positioning block 22, and the other end extends horizontally above the mounting platform 21, used to clamp the front of the remote control 200 under test.

[0042] The remote control 200 under test is positioned by the first positioning block 22 and the second positioning block 23, and the pressing block 24 presses the remote control 200 under test. The remote control 200 under test is placed more stably on the mounting platform 21, so that the rocking test of the joystick 201 under test can be performed better.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the first positioning block 22 is slidably connected to the mounting platform 21 in a direction close to or away from the mounting platform 21, the second positioning block 23 is slidably connected to the test platform 10 in a direction close to or away from the mounting platform 21, and the clamping block 24 is L-shaped, with one end of the clamping block 24 slidably connected to the first positioning block 22 vertically, and the other end extending horizontally above the mounting platform 21.

[0044] By adjusting the installation positions of the first positioning block 22 and the second positioning block 23 on the test bench 10, and adjusting the installation height of the clamping block 24 on the first positioning block 22, the test fixture 20 can be adapted to remote controls of different sizes.

[0045] In this embodiment, referring to the connection method of the connecting part 421 and the mounting part 433, the first positioning block 22 and the mounting platform 21, the second positioning block 23 and the test platform 10, and the clamping block 24 and the first positioning block 22 are also connected by a waist-shaped hole to achieve a sliding connection. Those skilled in the art will know this connection method, and the specific connection structure will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In summary, the remote control joystick testing device 100 proposed in this application has at least the following beneficial effects: The remote control 200 under test is placed on the test fixture 20. The test fixture 20 can position the remote control 200 under test, allowing for better swing testing of the joystick 201 under test. The first positioning block 22, the second positioning block 23, and the clamping block 24 of the test fixture 20 can be adjusted arbitrarily to accommodate remote controls of different sizes. Then, the controller controls multiple driving components 43 to drive the joystick 201 under test to swing back and forth in multiple directions, achieving automated testing of the joystick swing and significantly improving the efficiency of joystick durability testing. Furthermore, the multiple driving components 43 can be arbitrarily adjusted to form a clamping position to accommodate joysticks of different sizes, and the distance of the multiple driving components 43 can be arbitrarily adjusted in the XYZ directions, thus adapting to different installation positions of the joysticks of different remote control models.

[0047] It is obvious that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations to the embodiments of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. In this way, this application also aims to cover such modifications and alterations if they fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps not listed in the claims. The simple fact that certain measures are described in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used for profit. Any reference numerals in the claims should not be considered limiting in scope.
