Abstract

A test method for a chair is suitable for testing the properties of a chair part of the chair, and includes the following steps: controlling a robotic arm to drive a pressuring member to approach and push against a sample associated with the chair part; controlling a force sensor to detect a reaction force transmitted from the pressuring member pushing against the sample, to generate a force sensing value; receiving the force sensing value from the force sensor to determine whether the force sensing value reaches a set value that is related to human's weight; and controlling the robotic arm to drive the pressuring member to leave the sample, when the force sensing value reaches the set value; The above steps are performed by a server repeatedly executing a test procedure according to a preset number of tests.

Dependent claims

A test system for a chair, suitable for testing properties of a chair part by using a sample associated with a chair part of the chair, and comprising:

a pressuring member;
a force sensor connected to the pressuring member;
a robotic arm connected to the force sensor;
and
a server communicable with the force sensor and the robotic arm to repeatedly execute a test procedure according to a preset number of tests to test the sample, and whenever the test procedure is executed, the server configured to:
control the robotic arm to drive the pressuring member to approach and push against the sample;
control the force sensor to detect a reaction force transmitted from the pressuring member pushing against the sample, to generate a force sensing value;
receive the force sensing value from the force sensor to determine whether the force sensing value reaches a set value that is related to human’s weight;
and
control the robotic arm to drive the pressuring member to leave the sample, when the force sensing value reaches the set value.
