## Abstract

An impact testing device used for testing impact resistance of electronic devices is provided. The impact testing device includes a main body, a pneumatic pump connecting to one end of the main body and communicating with the main body, a transmitting element connecting to the other end of the main body and communicating with the main body, and an impact head fastened on the transmitting element. The pneumatic pump renders the main body a pressure to drive the transmitting element and make the impact head move to hit the testing point of the electronic device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An impact testing device used for testing impact resistance of electronic devices, the impact testing device comprising:
a main body;
a pneumatic pump connecting to one end of the main body and communicating with the main body;
a transmitting element connecting to the other end of the main body and communicating with the main body; and
an impact head fastened on the transmitting element;
the pneumatic pump applying a pressure to the transmitting element to make the impact head move to hit the testing point of the electronic device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmitting element comprises a joint pipe and a stretching column slidably mounted in the joint pipe, the transmitting element is connected to the main body by the joint pipe, the impact head is fastened on the stretching column, the stretching column together with the impact head are driven by the pressure to move to hit the testing point of the electronic device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein before testing, the stretching column is completely received in the joint pipe.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the impact head vertically hits the testing point of the electronic device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the main body defines a cavity, the pneumatic pump and the joint pipe are connected to opposite ends of the cavity.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the pneumatic pump is connected to the cavity by a pneumatic pipe, the pneumatic pipe has an inner diameter mating with the end of the cavity connected to the pneumatic pipe.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the impact testing device further comprises a limiting pipe connected to the main body and located around the transmitting element, and half of the impact head when the stretching column completely moves out of the joint pipe, the limiting pipe limits the testing distance for the electronic device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the length of the limiting pipe is larger than the total length of the joint pipe and the impact head, and is smaller than or equal to the total length of the impact head and the transmitting element when the stretching column completely stretches out of the joint pipe.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the main body comprises a switch mounted on the main body, the switch connects or cuts the communication of the cavity and the transmitting element.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body comprises a handle formed on the main body for users to hold the main body during a test.

### Claim 11 (depends on 2)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the outer surface of the stretching column and the inner surface of the joint pipe both are smooth surfaces.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the impact head is made of steel or iron.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The impact testing device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the impact head is a sphere having a diameter of about 50 mm and a mass of about 500 g.
