Abstract
A testing tool includes a tool body, a panel imitation member disposed on the tool body, an indicating device, and a probe device. A test panel cover is detachably disposed on the tool body. The probe device is disposed in the panel imitation member and includes a probe and a conductive member disposed under the probe. The probe is elastically disposed through the panel imitation member between initial and triggering positions. When the probe is located at the initial position, the probe extends out from the panel imitation member to abut against the test panel cover. When the test panel cover is sunken inward to contact with the panel imitation member so as to drive the probe to the triggering position, the probe contacts with the conductive member to electrically conduct the indicating device.
Claims18
A testing tool for testing inward deformation of a test panel cover, the testing tool comprising:
- a tool body, the test panel cover being detachably disposed on the tool body;
- a panel imitation member disposed on the tool body, the panel imitation member being contained between the tool body and the test panel cover when the test panel cover is disposed on the tool body;
- an indicating device disposed on the tool body;
- and
- a probe device disposed in the panel imitation member, the probe device comprising:
- a probe elastically disposed through the panel imitation member between an initial position and a triggering position and coupled to the indicating device, the probe extending out from the panel imitation member to abut against the test panel cover when the probe is located at the initial position;
- and
- a conductive member disposed under the probe and coupled to the indicating device, the probe contacting with the conductive member to electrically conduct the indicating device when the test panel cover is sunken inward to contact with the panel imitation member so as to drive the probe to the triggering position.
A testing method for utilizing a testing tool to test inward deformation of a test panel cover, the testing tool comprising a tool body, a panel imitation member, an indicating device, and a probe device, the panel imitation member being disposed on the tool body, the probe device comprising a probe and a conductive member, the probe being movable up and down relative to the panel imitation member and coupled to the indicating device, the conductive member being coupled to the indicating device, the testing method comprising:
- disposing the test panel cover on the tool body to abut against the probe;
- pressing the test panel cover to make the test panel cover sunken inward relative to the panel imitation member so as to drive the probe to move downward relative to the panel imitation member;
- and
- determining whether the test panel cover has been sunken inward to contact with the panel imitation member according to a testing result of whether the probe moves downward to contact with the conductive member so as to electrically conduct the indicating device.
