Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harness testing technology, and in particular to an automotive wiring harness tensile testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are the main network of automotive circuits; without wiring harnesses, there would be no automotive circuits. A wiring harness refers to an assembly formed by crimping copper contact terminals with wires and cables, then molding an insulator or adding an outer metal shell, and bundling the wires together to form a circuit connection. During the production process of automotive wiring harnesses, tensile strength tests are performed on the manufactured wire harnesses. Existing equipment for testing the tensile strength of wiring harnesses can only perform straightening tests. After straightening, lateral force cannot be applied to the taut wire harness, resulting in incomplete testing results.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent document discloses an automotive wiring harness tensile strength testing device (publication number: CN221550268U). This patent, when testing the tensile strength of automotive wiring harnesses, fixes both ends of the wiring harness to an upper clamp and a lower clamp respectively. The upper clamp is moved upward by the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod to perform tensile testing on the wiring harness. After the wiring harness has been longitudinally tensile tested, the push rod is moved laterally by the second electric telescopic rod installed on one side of the slide. The laterally moving push rod applies lateral force to the taut wiring harness, thus achieving lateral force tensile testing of the wiring harness. Compared with traditional tensile strength testing devices, this automotive wiring harness tensile strength testing device provides a more comprehensive test of the wiring harness.

[0004] However, when performing lateral tensile testing, the device can only test one part of the wire harness at a time. If you want to change the test position, you have to manually loosen the fixing bolts, adjust the height of the slide, and then fix it with the fixing bolts again. The whole process is cumbersome and cannot efficiently cover the testing needs of the entire wire harness, which seriously reduces the testing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the need for frequent manual adjustments to the position during transverse tension testing of wire harnesses, which is cumbersome and reduces testing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] Preferably, one end of each of the two limiting rods passes through and extends above the U-shaped mounting block, and anti-slip pads are provided on the inner sides of both the second arc-shaped clamping block and the first arc-shaped clamping block.

[0013] Preferably, the longitudinal tensile testing mechanism includes slide rails, the lower ends of the two slide rails are symmetrically distributed and fixedly connected to the upper end of the testing platform, and a movable sleeve is slidably sleeved on the outside of the slide rails.

[0014] Preferably, a movable plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the two movable sleeves, and a second servo electric cylinder is fixedly installed on the upper end of the movable plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] In this invention, during lateral detection, a first servo electric cylinder and a tension sensor, in conjunction with a U-shaped mounting block and an arc-shaped clamping block, accurately measure lateral tension, providing stable clamping and adaptability to different wire harnesses.

This convenient operation not only reduces manual labor but also improves testing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be provided below with reference to relevant embodiments, and several embodiments of this utility model will be given. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0027] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Example

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automotive wiring harness tensile testing device, including a testing platform 1. The testing platform 1 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy profile, which enables it to provide a solid and stable base for the transverse and longitudinal testing mechanisms.

[0030] The surface of the testing station 1 is anodized, which gives it excellent wear and corrosion resistance. It can withstand the corrosion of oil, water vapor and other substances that may be encountered in the automotive wiring harness testing environment, thus ensuring the accuracy of the equipment during long-term operation.

[0031] The first servo electric cylinder 21 installed inside the support block 2 has a stepless speed regulation function. When testing different types and specifications of automotive wiring harnesses, the stretching speed can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to simulate different stress conditions of the wiring harness in actual automotive operation.

[0032] The tension sensor 22 can collect tensile force data in real time, with a range of 0-500N and an accuracy of 0.5%FS. During the testing process, the tension sensor 22 works in conjunction with the linear movement of the U-shaped mounting block 23, and the guide rod 24 ensures the coaxiality of the U-shaped mounting block 23 during its movement, resulting in uniform force distribution on the wiring harness during lateral stretching. This precise testing method greatly improves the accuracy of the test data and provides a reliable basis for judging the quality of automotive wiring harnesses.

[0033] The first arc-shaped clamping block 25 and the second arc-shaped clamping block 29 of the U-shaped mounting block 23 adopt a semi-circular fitting design. The setting of the clearance groove 26 reserves clamping space. When clamping wire harnesses of different diameters, the second arc-shaped clamping block 29 can move within the space of the clearance groove 26 to ensure the smooth operation of clamping.

[0034] The hand-tightening screw 28 is connected to the second arc-shaped clamp 29 via a bearing. When the hand-tightening screw 28 is rotated, the second arc-shaped clamp 29 can be driven to move downward to clamp the wire harness placed on the first arc-shaped clamp 25. The limiting rod 210 can ensure that the first arc-shaped clamp 25 and the second arc-shaped clamp 29 are aligned, ensuring that the wire harness is in the center position during clamping and the force is even. The anti-slip pad 211 is made of Shore A hardness 70A material, which increases the friction with the wire harness during clamping and can effectively prevent the wire harness from sliding during tensile testing, thereby ensuring that the tensile force is fully applied to the wire harness body during testing and ensuring the authenticity of the test results.

[0035] Servo motor 38 drives lead screw 39 to rotate. The rotation of lead screw 39 causes threaded block 311 to move linearly along stroke groove 310. When threaded block 311 moves, it will drive moving plate 32 and longitudinal detection component moving sleeve 31 to move along slide rail 3, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of longitudinal detection position.

[0036] Compared to traditional manual adjustment methods, this automated adjustment improves efficiency. In automotive wiring harness testing, it can cover the entire wiring harness, such as testing different locations like 50mm from the end point or halfway through the harness, meeting the needs of multi-site testing and enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of the wiring harness's tensile strength performance.

[0037] The second servo electric cylinder 33 pushes the lifting platform 34 up and down along the upright 35. The extrusion wheel 37 in the support 36 is a polyurethane roller. The arc design of the extrusion wheel 37 can completely fit the surface of the wire harness. When applying longitudinal force to the upper wire harness, it can disperse the pressure and avoid the problem of scratching the wire harness insulation layer due to excessive local pressure.

[0038] The working process of this utility model:

[0039] Step 1: Place both ends of the wire harness into the first arc-shaped clamping block 25 of the U-shaped mounting block 23, turn the hand screw 28 to move the second arc-shaped clamping block 29 down, and clamp the wire harness with the first arc-shaped clamping block 25. The anti-slip pad 211 enhances friction and prevents slippage, the limiting rod 210 ensures alignment during clamping, and the second arc-shaped clamping block 29 can be inserted deeper through the relief groove 26, which makes it easier to clamp and fix wire harnesses of different sizes.

[0040] Step two: Activate the first servo electric cylinder 21 to retract, pulling the U-shaped mounting block 23. The tension sensor 22 displays the tension value in real time, detecting the lateral tension strength of the wire harness. The guide rod 24 ensures smooth movement, completing the lateral detection. Then, according to the longitudinal detection position requirements, activate the servo motor 38 to drive the lead screw 39 to rotate. The threaded block 311 moves along the stroke groove 310, moving the moving plate 32 and the longitudinal detection component to the appropriate position. Adjust the moving sleeve 31 to fit the wire harness at the slide rail 3 position. Activate the second servo electric cylinder 33, extending the piston rod to push the lifting platform 34 up along the upright 35. The extrusion wheel 37 contacts the designated position of the wire harness and applies force, causing the wire harness to be longitudinally stretched, simulating the situation in actual use. The curved surface is used to avoid scratching the wire harness. Detect the longitudinal tensile strength. After completion, reset the component. The operation can be repeated to detect different parts.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
