简要介绍了里氏硬度计及其特点、适用场合和发展现状。根据里氏硬度测试过程的3个主要环节（里氏硬度的测试、硬度的转换、测试数据的处理和应用），分析了里氏硬度计当前存在的几个主要问题，如缺乏定制硬度转换表、对大行业适应性不强、难以集成到现代化生产线等。并依据这些问题，综合考虑现代化生产的特点，提出了里氏硬度测试装备工具化、定制硬度转换表、智能化、行业化、自动化等几个发展方向。

Leeb hardness tester and its features, its typical applications and development status were introduced briefly. According to the three main parts of the Leeb hardness measurement process (measurement of Leeb hardness, conversion to other hardness and handling and application of measurement data), several current problems of Leeb hardness testers were analyzed, such as lack of custom hardness conversion tables, weak adaptability to large industry, being difficult to be integrated into modern production lines, etc. Taking into account these problems and the characteristics of modern production, several development directions of Leeb hardness testers were put forward, such as instrumentalism, custom hardness conversion tables, intellectualization, industrialization, automation, etc.
