  • Patent number: 11391646
    Abstract: An automatic mounting and demounting device and system for a motor testing platform, adapted to enable a control host to control automatic mounting and demounting between an axle of a motor under test and an axle of a testing apparatus, includes a mobile platform and a positional information sensing member. The control host controls the mobile platform according to positional information generated by the positional information sensing member, such that a carrier for carrying the motor under test is automatically driven to a corresponding position to thereby effect alignment and connection or separation of the axle of the motor under test and the axle of the testing apparatus. Therefore, preparation for the motor dynamics testing is automatically carried out effectively and correctly, thereby reducing the time and manpower required for testing-related preparation.
