[0002] In the production of game controllers, functional testing is crucial to ensuring product quality. Existing game controller functional testing technologies have achieved a certain level of testing for specific game controller functions. For example, some multi-station testing equipment can perform specialized tests on the controller's buttons, joysticks, or vibration functions separately. This testing method provides support for quality control of game controllers during specific periods. By conducting itemized testing, potential problems with a particular function can be located more accurately, which helps in troubleshooting and repair during the production process, thereby improving the product pass rate and ensuring that game controllers entering the market have basic operational functions.

[0003] However, existing game controller functional testing technologies have many shortcomings. Firstly, the station-based testing mode requires multiple loading and unloading of the tested products, necessitating reloading and unloading for each functional test. This not only leads to low testing efficiency and prolongs the product production cycle but also increases labor costs and the risk of product damage. Secondly, station-based testing equipment occupies a large amount of workshop space, resulting in wasted space resources in production environments with limited space, hindering the rational layout and management of the production workshop. Furthermore, existing testing equipment has poor compatibility; when producing different models or types of game controllers, significant modifications or replacements of the equipment are often required, increasing production flexibility and costs.

[0044] In this embodiment, the Holder module 3 is mounted on the sliding block 40, and the Holder module 3 is used to position and load the product under test (game controller). The combination of the rodless cylinder 36 and the sliding block 40 can move the sliding block 40 from its initial position to the test position. The panel linear guide rail 37 increases the load and movement accuracy of the sliding block 40. The photoelectric sensor 43 senses the position of the sliding block 40.

Key press assembly A45 and key press assembly B46 are both disposed in the middle of the Holder base plate 48. The key dial assembly 47 is disposed on the outer side of the Holder base plate 48.

[0046] In this embodiment, the keystroke assembly A45, the keystroke assembly B46, and the key-pulling assembly 47 are symmetrically distributed. The Holder base plate 48 is made of AL6061 material, which reduces the weight of the Holder module 3 itself while ensuring strength and rigidity. The Holder material is ESD-resistant. POM, due to its excellent lubricity and surface properties, will not scratch the product under test. The Holder body 44 is machined to mimic the product under test, serving to position it. The key-pressing components A45 and B46 are operated by small cylinders, which is economical and space-saving. The head that contacts the product under test is made of high-quality PU material. Due to the softness of PU material, it can perform the key-pressing function without damaging the keys. The key-toggle component 47 cleverly uses a linkage mechanism to simulate the movement trajectory of the key on the bottom surface of the product under test. Initially, the product under test is placed on the Holder body 44, and the key switch on the bottom of the product under test falls into the groove at the module terminal. When the cylinder extends, the linkage moves the switch on the product under test outward. The module is equipped with a threaded adjustment screw, which can finely adjust the rotation angle.

[0047] Furthermore, the rocker assembly 9 includes a connecting rod 49 and a three-axis slide 50.

[0048] In this embodiment, a spring serves as a buffer between the cup cover 51 and the connecting rod 49. When testing the rocker arm of the product under test, the Z-axis first descends, and the cup cover 51 covers the rocker arm. Then, the X and Y axis slides move along an approximately circular trajectory through differential compensation, thereby causing the cup cover 51 to drive the rocker arm to complete one revolution, simulating the operation of the rocker arm in actual use. The movement of the rocker arm triggers the relevant functions of the product under test, thereby achieving the purpose of testing.

[0049] Furthermore, the upper mold key-pressing assembly 10 includes sixteen sets of first key-pressing components 56, connecting plates 57, and four connecting pillars 58.

[0050] In this embodiment, it also includes a power button, forward and backward buttons, etc. The first buffer head 61 contacts the buttons of the product under test with PU material, which has a certain degree of softness and will not damage the buttons. The key-pressing spring 62 ensures that the force of the cylinder does not directly hit the buttons on the product under test, but rather the force of the compression of the key-pressing spring 62 is used. Each of the first key-pressing components 56 acts independently, realizing the function of striking and triggering all the buttons on the surface of the product under test.

[0051] Furthermore, the volume button 64 assembly includes two volume buttons 64 pieces and a bracket 65.

[0056] In this embodiment, the head of the Type-C adapter 85 is chamfered around its entire circumference. The buffering effect of the Type-C floating block 83 and the secondary buffer pad 84 improves the smoothness of insertion and removal of the Type-C adapter 85 and extends its mechanical life, overcoming the tolerances of the relevant dimensional chain. The vibration test piece 76 is driven by the stepper motor 86, which drives the linkage mechanism and the support guide rail 89, causing the second buffer head 94 to move linearly, ensuring that the product under test will not be damaged. The stepper motor 86 is mainly used for testing the trigger key on the product under test, which requires different trigger speeds to trigger, and then the product under test will make corresponding vibration and acceleration / deceleration reactions.

[0057] Furthermore, a door 95 is hinged to the top of the outer cover 1, and a safety sensor 96 is provided between the door 95 and the outer cover 1. A viewing window 97 is provided on the door 95, and a telescopic rod 98 is hinged between the door 95 and the outer cover 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, the front of the outer cover 1 can be opened, and the left, right and rear of the outer cover 1 have doors and viewing windows 97. Each door is equipped with a safety sensor 96 to prevent personnel from opening it and risking personal injury. The front panel is equipped with a display and a lock for authorized personnel to manage. The PLC 7 is used for logic control of the entire equipment, and the solenoid valve island 8 controls the action of multiple cylinders.

[0059] In this invention, the game controller under test (DUT) is placed on the Holder body 44 of the Holder module 3, and then the cover 95 is closed to ensure that the safety sensor 96 is activated. Next, by operating the start button on the control box 4 (if in automatic loading / unloading mode, the system is automatically triggered), the PLC 7 controller inside the control box 4 receives a signal and commands the rodless cylinder 36 on the panel assembly 16 to drive the sliding block 40, causing the Holder module 3 and the game controller under test to slide into the test position. At this time, the test module 2 begins to work. The joystick assembly 9 uses a three-axis slide table 50 to drive the joystick in circular motion to simulate actual operation. The pen-shaped cylinder 60 of the upper mold key-pressing assembly 10 drives the PU buffer head to strike the game controller buttons. The volume button 64 assembly adjusts the volume buttons through a multi-axis slide table cylinder combination. Meanwhile, the ACC vibration test assembly 12 and the rear trigger button test assembly 13 (including Type...) The C-type insertion and vibration tests were performed on the vibration feedback of the handle and the rear trigger button, respectively. All test actions were executed precisely according to the interaction signals between the host test software and PLC7. After the test was completed, the Holder module 3 automatically returned to its initial position, and the operator or robot arm removed the tested handle, replaced it with a new part, and carried out the next round of testing. Throughout the process, the viewing window 97 of the outer cover 1 allowed real-time monitoring of the equipment status to ensure that the test was carried out safely and efficiently.

[0060] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
