Universal bracket for testing lateral force of power connector

Abstract

The invention relates to a universal bracket for testing the lateral force of a power connector. The universal bracket comprises a bearing seat, a support frame installed on the bearing seat, and a mounting plate arranged on the support frame. The bearing seat includes two opposite bases; a vertical clamping groove is formed in each base; and the support frame is at least partially clamped into the two vertical clamping grooves. The mounting plate can rotate in the support frame; and a locking piece is arranged on the mounting plate. According to the invention, lateral forces in different directions can be continuously tested without secondary clamping; the mounting plate can rotate by 360 degrees in the support frame to realize flexible switching of directions of a tail cable at a male terminal of a connector during the lateral force hoisting testing and flexible switching between axial locking and radial locking, so that high compatibility of lateral force testing needs of connectorswith two mounting modes is realized; the 90-degree or 45-degree lateral stress condition can be simulated when the tail cable at the male terminal of the connector is subjected to the hoisting test.With a cushion block and multiple circles of installation holes, high compatibility with connectors with more specifications for clamping is realized. The universal bracket has a wide application range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power connector, in particular to a universal support for lateral force testing of the power connector. Background technique [0002] In the field of electrical component plugging technology, power connectors are usually used in pairs with male and female ends. Since the tail cable of the male end is affected by gravity or other factors for a long time, it will generate lateral force on the connector. It is necessary to ensure reliability in long-term use. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the reliability of the product's lateral force resistance during the development of the power connector. Usually, the customer's requirements for the lateral force test of the connector are: fixed female end, cable lifting test at the tail of the male end. Since the lifting direction of the cable remains unchanged, when testing lateral forces in different directions, it is necessary to change the force direction of the male end relative...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] During the lateral force test, it is necessary to simulate the customer's use scene to fix the female end. The above two types of connectors are obviously different in their female end fixing methods. In routine testing, the female end is usually clamped in a bench vise to perform a lateral force test in a single direction of the male end. When changing the direction of the force, it is necessary to re-clamp for testing. In addition, due to the limitation of the clamping tool, the test can only be performed after changing the force direction by 90°, and the force in the 45° direction is not easy to achieve
