The above described features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description.

Fig. 1A is a schematic plan view showing a state of separation of a bead test device of the present invention. Fig. 1B is a plan view showing the contact state of the bead test device of Fig. 1A.

Please refer to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1B. The bead testing device 100 of the present invention is suitable for loading and testing the bead 200, where the bead 200 is an Internet of Things product with a signal transmission function.

In this description, when an external force is applied to the carrier 120, the carrier 120 will drive the first rotating shaft 140 to synchronously generate pivoting relative to the base 110, and the carrier 120 is used to simulate the wrist of the user wearing the bead 200.

The dial wheel 130 is disposed on the base 110 and adapted to move along the slide rail 111 and is adapted to rotate relative to the base 110. The bead 200 is disposed on the outer edge OE of the carrier 120, and the dial wheel 130 is configured to move toward the carrier 120 and contact the bead 200.

The dial wheel 130 has a plurality of driving blocks 131 disposed around, and a plurality of spacings A are formed between the adjacent plurality of driving blocks 131, thereby simulating a user's finger contact with the beads 200. In detail, a width of each of the driving blocks 131 is greater than a width of each of the grooves G, and each of the driving blocks 131 of the dialing wheel 130 is a conductive material. When the driving block 131 contacts the bead 200, the bead signal is triggered, and the bead signal is transmitted to the cloud or the established smart phone to record the number of beads. In addition, each of the driving blocks 131 can be made of conductive materials of different materials to simulate different contact feelings, so as to improve the accuracy of the counting of the beads.

Further, the bead testing device 100 includes a driving motor 150 and a second rotating shaft 160. The drive motor 150 is disposed below the base 110.

2 is a schematic plan view of a bead testing device in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the dial wheel 130a of the bead testing device 100A has a plurality of driving blocks 131a disposed around. Each of the driving blocks 131a has a concave surface CS, and each concave surface CS is spaced apart from the corresponding respective grooves G of the alignment carrier 120b. In short, each concave surface CS is used to accommodate the corresponding bead body 210 of the bead 200, and the beading body 210 can be stably driven by the engagement coating effect of the concave surface CS, thereby achieving the bead counting and durability test. After the start of the rotation of the dialing wheel 130a, the friction between the respective driving blocks 131a and the beads 210 or the pushing force against the external force is insufficient to cause separation.

3 is a schematic plan view of a bead testing device in accordance with still another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the dial wheel 130b of the bead testing device 100B has a plurality of driving blocks 131b disposed around. Each of the driving blocks 131b has a tapered appearance, and each of the driving blocks 131b is spaced apart from the corresponding respective tip portions P of the alignment carrier 120b. In short, each of the driving blocks 131b is used to enter the gap between the beads 210, so that each of the driving blocks 131b directly pushes the corresponding beads 210, thereby achieving the bead counting and durability test.

The bead test method of the present invention will be described below. 4 is a block diagram showing the flow of a bead test by the bead test apparatus of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 4, the carrier disk 120 corresponding to the number of beads 210 of the bead 200 to be tested is selected, and the carrier disk 120 is connected to the first rotating shaft 140. First, the beads 200 are placed on the outer edge OE of the carrier tray 120, and the beads 200 are separated from the dial wheel 130. In addition, each groove G of the carrier disk 120 is adapted to closely position the plurality of beads 210 of the bead 200, and each of the beads 210 protrudes outside the grooves G.

Next, the toggle roller 130 is moved along the slide rail 111 toward the carrier tray until one of the beads 210 contacts the bead 200 of the bead 200. In addition, the separation distance between the dial roller 130 and the carrier disk 120 can be adjusted to simulate different ball external forces. When the dial roller 130 is relatively close to the carrier 120, the external force of the driving block 131 acting on the bead 210 is relatively large. Conversely, when the dial roller 130 is relatively far away from the carrier 120, the driving block 131 acts on the bead 210. The external force is small.

Before starting the beading and durability test, the number of revolutions of the drive motor 150 can be set as required to establish a benchmark for bead count and durability. At the same time, the rotational speed of the drive motor 150 can also be adjusted to simulate different bead speeds, thereby verifying whether the bead counting function of the bead 200 is accurate at different bead speeds.

When the driving motor 150 starts to operate and drives the dialing wheel 130 to rotate in the first direction D1, each driving block 131 of the dialing wheel 130 respectively touches the corresponding bead body 210, thereby driving the bead 200 and the carrier disk 120 toward the second direction. D2 rotates. Wherein, when each of the driving blocks 131 contacts the corresponding bead body 210, the external force of the driving block 131 can be used to drive the bead body 210 to be displaced, or the driving block 131 contacts to cause the surface of the bead body 210 to be electrically changed, and the number of beads is triggered. Signal and pass the bead count signal to the external receiver.

Finally, after the bead completes the counting and durability test, the dial wheel 130 is moved away from the carrier disk 120 along the slide rail 111 and replaces the new beads 200, and then the foregoing steps are repeated to perform the counting and durability test of the next string of beads 200. .

In summary, the bead testing device of the present invention has a carrying tray and a dialing wheel for placing a bead to simulate one of the wrists on which the user wears the bead, and the toggle can be moved along the sliding rail to contact the bead. In order to simulate the user's finger contact with the beads. When the dial wheel starts to rotate, it will drive the bead and the carrier to rotate in the opposite direction to simulate the user's beading motion, and perform the bead counting and durability test.
