Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive cable testing technology, specifically to an automotive cable connector tensile strength testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive cables, also known as automotive wiring harnesses, are the main network component of a vehicle's electrical system. Without automotive cables, there would be no automotive electrical system. Automotive cables refer to components made of copper wire harness terminals that are crimped to cables, then externally insulated or encased in a metal shell, and bundled together to form a circuit connection.
[0003] Currently, during the use of automotive wiring harness terminal connections, faults such as loosening, breakage, detachment, or poor contact at the crimping points frequently occur. These not only affect the normal operation of automotive electrical systems, leading to an increased vehicle failure rate, but also make troubleshooting and root cause analysis difficult, causing losses to wiring harness assembly manufacturers and users. Therefore, to improve the factory quality of automotive cable products, it is necessary to conduct tensile performance testing on automotive wiring harness terminals. Existing testing equipment, however, provides limited data during tensile testing of wiring harness terminals, only detecting the ultimate tensile force value and failing to measure the deformation generated when the wiring harness terminal is pulled, thus exhibiting certain limitations.
