Embodiment
See figures.1.and.2, a kind of device used for testing life of key switch of the present invention, comprises frame 1, switch clamp assemblies, press component and control and counting unit.Described frame 1 is provided with work top 11, and described switch clamp assemblies comprises fixing switching clamp 2 on the table, and is clamped at the switch fixing casing 3 for fixing at least one tested keyswitch 100 on switching clamp 2.Described press component comprises the travelling carriage 41 that can be installed on up or down in frame 1, and the air cylinder fixed plate 51 be arranged on travelling carriage 41, in the present embodiment, conveniently up-down adjustment travelling carriage 41, the back side of described travelling carriage 41 is provided with the screw rod 6 be threaded with frame 1.More steady in order to make travelling carriage 41 move up and down, described travelling carriage 41 two side ends is provided with slide block 42, and described frame 1 is provided with the guide rail 43 coordinated with slide block 42.The each tested keyswitch 100 that described air cylinder fixed plate 51 is installed by corresponding switch fixing casing 3 is all provided with piston rod cylinder 52 down, and described cylinder 52 is connected with the draft tube 53 of provided with electromagnetic valve.
Described control and counting unit comprise the controller for Controlling solenoid valve, and press the counter of the number of times of tested keyswitch 100 for recording cylinder 52.Described controller is electrically connected with solenoid valve, stretching of the testing time control cylinder 52 that solenoid valve can set according to controller, thus under the testing time of setting, pressing operation is carried out to tested keyswitch 100, can the action frequency of accurate recording cylinder 52 and the compression number of tested keyswitch 100 by counter, avoid manual record to make mistakes, ensure the accurate of test result.
When the present invention tests, tested keyswitch 100 is fixed on switch fixing casing 3, then switch fixing casing 3 to be clamped on switching clamp 2 and tested keyswitch 100 is aimed at one by one with the piston rod of cylinder 52, the operation repeatedly pressing tested keyswitch 100 is manually simulated by the flexible of piston rod of cylinder 52, Simultaneous Switching fixed head 3 can be fixed the tested keyswitch 100 of many groups, thus can test the life-span of the tested keyswitch 100 of many groups simultaneously, substantially reduce the labour intensity of workman, and the pressing dynamics of test, speed and the time interval can keep highly consistent, good test effect, testing efficiency is high.
Further, the piston rod end of described cylinder 52 has been threaded press head 54, this structure is due to the press head 54 that has been threaded in piston rod end, press head 54 can be made to rise or decline by rotary push head 54, thus the distance between each press head 54 and switch fixing casing 3 can be regulated, the tested keyswitch 100 with differing heights can be installed on fixed head, greatly widen usable range of the present invention.In order to reduce the impact of press head 54 to tested keyswitch 100, prevent keyswitch impaired, described press head 54 end sleeve is provided with rubber 55.
During test, the piston rod of cylinder 52 is needed to aim at tested keyswitch 100, the present invention can pass through the position of by-pass cock fixed head 3 on switching clamp 2, the tested keyswitch 100 on switch fixing casing 3 is made to aim at cylinder 52 above it, but in actual mechanical process, the position adjustments of switch fixing casing 3 is easily subject to the interference of the travelling carriage 41 above it and sight line is blocked, and easily cause the switch fixing casing 3 mixed up to be shifted in switching clamp 2 clamping switch fixed head 3, in order to solve this problem, described air cylinder fixed plate 51 can movably be arranged on travelling carriage 41, in the present embodiment, described air cylinder fixed plate 51 is fixed on travelling carriage 41 by set bolt, described travelling carriage 41 is provided with the transverse holes 40 be convenient to set bolt and slided within it, the length direction of described transverse holes 40 is consistent with the length direction of air cylinder fixed plate 51.This structure is with after switching clamp 2 clamping switch fixed head 3, travelling carriage 41 can be displaced downwardly to the distance suitable with fixed head, then set bolt is adopted to be arranged on travelling carriage 41 by air cylinder fixed plate 51, but do not tighten set bolt, adjusting cylinders fixed head 51 makes the piston rod of cylinder 52 and tested keyswitch 100 one_to_one corresponding, tighten set bolt again, cylinder 52 can be aimed at tested keyswitch 100 by this structure rapidly and accurately, easy to operate.
Further, described switching clamp 2 comprises fixing clamp base 21 on the table, and clamp base 21 rear end is provided with rear fixture block 22, and clamp base 21 front end is bolted with screw mandrel 23, and described screw mandrel 23 is fixed with front fixture block 24 near one end of rear fixture block 22.By rotating described screw mandrel 23, can before and after regulate before the position of fixture block 24, front fixture block 24 is drawn close or away from rear fixture block 22, thus the fixed part of tested keyswitch 100 is clamped or unclamped.Further, in order to avoid front fixture block 24 deflects when movable, make it move more steady, described front fixture block 24 two side ends is provided with slide opening, and described clamp base 21 is provided with the slide bar 25 coordinated with slide opening.The position of alignment jig pedestal 21 conveniently, described clamp base 21 is fixing on the table by clamping screw, clamp base 21 is provided with the elongated hole 211 be convenient to clamping screw and slided within it, the length direction of described elongated hole 211 is consistent with the length direction of screw mandrel 23, this structure is by the position of front and back alignment jig pedestal 21, can ensure that the tested keyswitch 100 on switch fixing casing 3 is being aimed at the piston rod of cylinder 52 along on leading screw length direction, go for the test of the keyswitch of different size.
Further, described draft tube 53 is connected with the pressure regulator valve for regulating stream pressure size.By manual adjustments pressure regulator valve, make each cylinder 52 produce suitable pressing dynamics to tested keyswitch 100, the pressing dynamics requirement of the keyswitch of different model can be met, the keyswitch of different model can be tested in same group of test.
