Development of Automatic Tester for Handle of Household Brewing-type Appliance

In this paper, a prototype of automatic testing machine which is unique for conducting electrical safety tests on electric kettle was proposed and demonstrated. By investigating various studies and technical reports, the testing machine for electric kettle was designed, developed and investigated. Both of the software and hardware were firstly introduced in the related tests. The performance of prototype was evaluated experimentally. A low-cost and multi-functional static load and handle securement testing machine was produced to evaluate the hardness of the kettle handles according to the international standard. The suggestion for further improvement of the prototyped automatic tester for handle of household brewing-type appliance in the commercial testing laboratory was summarized at the end.
