[0002] Currently, in drop ball impact testing, the support surface of the cover plate is usually designed as a fixed plane, which cannot accommodate irregularly shaped cover plates (such as curved or irregular shapes). This leads to difficulties in supporting irregularly shaped cover plates, uneven contact, and resonance phenomena, thus affecting the accuracy of the drop ball strength test results. Existing equipment is difficult to achieve compatible testing of cover plates of various shapes and urgently needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism supports angle adjustment of the upper and lower perforated plates within the range of 0°-30°.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. The spring floating needle wall and the adjustment mechanism of this application work together to adapt to the shape of the cover plate through the floating needle array (the floating needles move with the shape when the irregular cover plate is pressed down), and the adjustment mechanism drives the upper and lower perforated plates to be relatively misaligned to fix the needle position, thereby solving the problem of uneven contact caused by the existing fixed plane support and ensuring effective support of the entire surface of the irregular cover plate.

[0013] 2. The magnetic attraction device of this application provides a stable constraint force in the ball drop impact test, solves the test interference problem caused by cover plate displacement, and ensures the accuracy of the impact position.

[0014] 3. The collaborative monitoring of the laser distance sensor and the guide groove of the lower orifice plate in this application provides real-time feedback of impact position data and constrains the movement trajectory of the lower orifice plate, suppressing the resonance phenomenon in the background technology and improving the accuracy of the ball drop strength test results (error rate reduced by ≥15%).

The multi-angle adjustment function of the adjustment mechanism in this application supports the axial alignment or misalignment control of the upper / lower orifice plates, breaking through the single-plane testing limitation of existing equipment, and realizing compatible testing of planar, curved and inclined cover plates.
