Inspection standards and methods for baby strollers

According to data, the first baby stroller was born in England in 1733. At that time, it was just a stroller with a basket similar to a carriage. After the 20th century, baby strollers became popular, and their basic materials, platform structure, safety performance and other aspects are also constantly improving. Nowadays, baby strollers have basically become a must-have for families, and the inspection of baby strollers is particularly important.
Different countries have different inspection standards and methods for products such as baby strollers. The following are common inspection requirements for baby strollers.

Baby stroller inspection requirements

1. Color matching check
2. Product specification inspection
3. Appearance inspection (plastic appearance, hardware appearance, pipe fitting appearance)
4. Finished product structure testing requirements
5. Requirements for component and rivet combinations
6. Requirements for lathe function inspection
7. Parasol inspection requirements
8. Packaging inspection requirements

1. Color matching check

The color matching is correct and meets the requirements of the order information. There is no wrong color or style.

2. Product specification inspection

1). Product specifications must be consistent with engineering and technical data;
2). Bulk goods must match the limited sample.

3. Appearance inspection (plastic appearance, hardware appearance, pipe fitting appearance)

1). No orange peel, yellowing, delamination, blistering or burning;
2). No thick or thin wall phenomenon;
3). No dents or distortions;
4). Cut off the mold closing line and make it smooth;
5). The surface is bright and the color is uniform without impurities and color difference;
6). No scratches, rust, blistering, delamination, pinholes, cracking or peeling;
7). No forming edges and sharp points;
8). No dents, distortions, deformations, etc.;
9). No desoldering, missing soldering, bubbles, uneven welding, etc.

4. Finished product structure testing requirements

1). The brakes and removable parts operate normally and there is no failure;
2). The width of the platform is consistent with the design width: ±1.0mm;
3). Walking in a straight line: Sliding 5 meters from a 10-degree slope, with no deviation of 0.3 meters from left to right (reference standard JIS0294);
4). Passed the one-point, three-line and six-sided box dropping test;
5). Pass the front wheel lifting weight test (according to regional standards and customer requirements);
6). Push up and down test on the stroller handle (reference standard GB 14748)

Handlebar strength test method: Place the corresponding number of test weights in the sleeping bag and secure it with a safety belt. In a controlled manner, alternately raise or lower the handlebars so that the front and rear wheels are lifted by 120mm±10mm in turn. (As shown in the figure), and tested 800 times at a frequency of 15 cycles/min±2 cycles/min. For reversible handlebars, the test shall be conducted 400 times in each direction. If the handlebar has an adjustable device, the test shall be carried out under the most adverse conditions.

7). Cart impact strength test (reference standard GB 14748)

Impact strength test method: Place the corresponding number of test weights in the sleeping bag, secure it with a seat belt, place the vehicle on a 10° ramp, release the vehicle 1000mm away from the stop and let it drive down the ramp freely, and impact to a rigid stop whose height should be at least half the diameter of the wheel. Repeat the test a total of 10 times.

Impact strength test

1-hard platform;
2-steel stop;
3-The height of the stop, at least half the diameter of the wheel.

5. Requirements for component and rivet combinations

1). The rivet back opening is 2~3mm and is complete without plating delamination;
2). Appropriate tightness, no bending or sharp edges;
3). The male and female screws are locked in place without sharp burrs;
4). Combined fastening and flexible rotation; the gap between the front and rear wheels is 1.0~1.5mm;
5). The self-tapping screws are locked in place and cannot be loosened;
6). The sticker is in the correct position and has no blisters, corners or tatters;
7). The left and right parts and directional parts should be combined according to the requirements and limited samples of the work instructions, and should not be confused or reversed;
8). If jigs are used, they must be able to be easily inserted into the inspection jigs.

6. Requirements for lathe function inspection

1). The front and rear wheels must rotate flexibly. If the front wheels can be oriented, they must be firmly engaged;
2). All lathes with two locks must be locked firmly and cannot be detached;
