Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automotive wiring harnesses. Specifically, it relates to an automotive wiring harness stretching and torsion testing device and its testing method. Background Technique

[0002] The automotive wiring harness is the main network of the automotive circuit. Without the wiring harness, there would be no automotive circuit. A wiring harness refers to a component formed by crimping contact terminals (connectors) made of copper material with wires and cables, and then externally molding an insulator or adding a metal shell, etc., and bundling the wiring harness to form a connected circuit.

[0003] After the production and processing of automotive wiring harnesses, spot checks are carried out to detect the qualified rate of the wiring harnesses. Generally, the spot checks not only test the signal conduction performance of the wiring harnesses, but also test their external strength. General tests include, but are not limited to, stretching and torsion. The purpose is to ensure the integrity of the wiring harness under external stretching and torsion.

[0004] Traditional wiring harness stretching and torsion tests are often carried out separately. Even if some equipment can adjust the distance while twisting, it is only limited to the test of a single wiring harness. Therefore, in actual operation, multiple machines are used or queued for testing when testing a single type of wiring harness, which is relatively time-consuming and laborious as a whole.

Specific embodiments

[0048] The following further describes the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0049] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a stretching and torsion test device for an automotive wire harness according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes a table board 1. Four legs 2 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the table board 1. A bottom board 3 is further provided directly below the table board 1. The four corners of the bottom board 3 are fixedly installed on the four legs 2. An adjusting mechanism 4 is installed on the top of the bottom board 3, and an adjusting motor 5 for driving the adjusting mechanism 4 is also installed on the bottom board 3. A testing mechanism 6 is installed on the top of the adjusting mechanism 4. Strip-shaped holes 8 are symmetrically arranged along the center on the table board 1. A wire-receiving tray 7 is also installed in the middle of the top of the table board 1. The strip-shaped holes 8 are distributed on both sides of the wire-receiving tray 7, and the strip-shaped holes 8 on each side are arranged in a scattered manner. The two ends of the top of the testing mechanism 6 are respectively arranged corresponding to the strip-shaped holes 8 one by one, and the two ends of the top of the testing mechanism 6 respectively pass through the respective opposite strip-shaped holes 8. Fix the two ends of the wire harness to be tested at the corresponding positions at the two ends of the top of the testing mechanism 6, and then the testing mechanism 6 can be adjusted through the adjusting mechanism 4 to realize the detection of the wire harness.

[0050] The adjusting mechanism 4 includes a fixed seat 9 fixedly installed at the center of the top of the bottom board 3. The top end of the fixed seat 9 is fixedly installed with a cross board 10. End plates 11 are fixedly installed at the tops of both ends of the cross board 10. An adjusting roller 12 is rotatably installed between the two end plates 11. Grooves 13 are symmetrically arranged along the center on the outer wall of the adjusting roller 12, and the grooves 13 are spirally arranged on the adjusting roller 12. There are multiple groups of the testing mechanisms 6. The number of the testing mechanisms 6 is equal to and corresponds to the number of the grooves 13 one by one. The center of the bottom of the testing mechanism 6 is slidably arranged in the corresponding groove 13. When the adjusting roller 12 rotates under an external force, the adjusting roller 12 will drive the connected testing mechanism 6 to move and adjust synchronously through the grooves 13 on its outer wall, and then the distance between two adjacent testing mechanisms 6 can be changed to avoid mutual influence during the testing process.

[0051] One end of the adjusting roller 12 is fixedly installed with an adjusting shaft 14. The adjusting shaft 14 penetrates through one side of the end plate 11 and is fixedly installed with a driven belt pulley 15. The output shaft end of the adjusting motor 5 is fixedly installed with a driving belt pulley 16. The driven belt pulley 15 and the driving belt pulley 16 are connected by a transmission belt 17.

[0052] At the top end of the end plate 11, a top plate 18 is fixedly installed. The top plate 18 is arranged along the length direction of the cross plate 10, and first slide rails 19 arranged along its length direction are symmetrically installed at the center of the top plate 18. Slide holes 20 are also symmetrically opened at the center of the top plate 18. The slide holes 20 are parallel to the first slide rails 19. The bottom of the testing mechanism 6 is slidably arranged on the first slide rails 19, and the bottom end of the testing mechanism 6 passes through the slide holes 20 and is arranged.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 6-7 , the testing mechanism 6 includes a U-shaped frame 21. The U-shaped frame 21 is arranged in an inverted manner. The bottom end of the U-shaped frame 21 passes through the slide holes 20 and is arranged. First sliders 22 are fixedly installed on the outer walls on both sides of the U-shaped frame 21. The first sliders 22 are slidably arranged on the first slide rails 19. A connecting plate 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 21. A guide post 24 is installed at the center of the bottom end of the connecting plate 23. The guide post 24 is slidably arranged in the groove 13. When the adjusting roller 12 rotates, the guide post 24 can be driven to move through the groove 13. The guide post 24 then drives the U-shaped frame 21 to move through the connecting plate 23. The U-shaped frame 21 can stably slide and adjust on the first slide rails 19 through the first sliders 22. At the center of the top end of the U-shaped frame 21, a support frame 25 is fixedly installed. At the top end of the support frame 25, a strip-shaped plate 26 is fixedly installed. Guide rails 28 arranged along its length direction are symmetrically installed at the center of the top of the strip-shaped plate 26. Guide seats 31 are slidably installed on both guide rails 28. A torsion mechanism 29 and a locking mechanism 30 are respectively installed on the two guide seats 31. Both the torsion mechanism 29 and the locking mechanism 30 are arranged above the table board 1.

[0054] A reinforcing rod 27 is also installed through the top of the support frame 25. Both ends of the reinforcing rod 27 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the strip-shaped plate 26. The reinforcing rod 27 can increase the stability of the strip-shaped plate 26.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 8-14 , on the top of each guide seat 31, a fixing plate 32 is fixedly installed. At the top end of the fixing plate 32, a vertical rod 33 is fixedly installed. The top of the vertical rod 33 passes through the strip-shaped hole 8 and is arranged. A guide roller 34 is also rotatably installed on the outside of the vertical rod 33.

The torsion mechanism 29 and the locking mechanism 30 are respectively installed on the corresponding support plates 35.

[0056] Start the adjustment motor 5. The adjustment motor 5 will drive the driven pulley 15 to rotate through the driving pulley 16 and the transmission belt 17, thereby realizing the rotational adjustment of the adjustment roller 12. When the adjustment roller 12 rotates, it will also drive the guide post 24 to move through the groove 13 on its outer wall. The guide post 24 is connected to the U-shaped frame 21 through the connecting plate 23, and the U-shaped frame 21 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 20. Therefore, when the guide post 24 moves, it will drive the U-shaped frame 21 to slide along the length direction of the sliding hole 20 through the connecting plate 23. The sliding of the U-shaped frame 21 can drive the strip plate 26 to move synchronously through the support frame 25, thereby realizing the movement adjustment of the torsion mechanism 29 and the locking mechanism 30 slidably mounted on the top of the strip plate 26 on the guide rail 28, so that the two adjacent test mechanisms 6 are moved away from each other to reduce the influence. When the torsion mechanism 29 and the locking mechanism 30 are moved and adjusted along the length direction of the sliding hole 20, the vertical rod 33 on the top of the guide seat 31 will also move in the strip hole 8. Through the adjustment of the strip hole 8, the vertical rod 33 will drive the torsion mechanism 29 and the locking mechanism 30 to move away from each other through the support plate 35, thereby realizing the stretching of the wire harness while the torsion mechanism 29 realizes torsion.

[0057] The torsion mechanism 29 includes a first mounting seat 36 fixedly installed on the top of one side support plate 35. A transmission box 37 is fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting seat 36.

A wire clamp 39 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the transmission box 37. The wire clamp 39 is used to stably clamp one end of the wire harness, and the other end of the wire harness is fixed by the locking mechanism 30. Start the torsion motor 38, and the torsion motor 38 can drive the wire clamp 39 to rotate through the transmission box 37, thereby realizing the torsion test of the wire harness.

[0058] The wire clamping device 39 includes an outer frame 40. In the middle of one end of the outer frame 40, a fitting sleeve 41 is fixedly installed, and the fitting sleeve 41 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the transmission box 37. At one end of the outer frame 40 away from the fitting sleeve 41, a fixed block 42 is fixedly installed. At the top of one end of the fixed block 42 away from the outer frame 40, a wire clamping groove 43 is opened. On the fixed block 42, a threaded hole 44 is also opened and is arranged opposite to the fitting sleeve 41. The threaded hole 44 communicates with the wire clamping groove 43. A threaded rod 45 is penetrated and screwed in the threaded hole 44. A jack 49 is also opened in the center of the threaded rod 45. A plug rod 47 is penetrated and inserted in the jack 49. One end of the plug rod 47 is inserted into the fitting sleeve 41, and the other end of the plug rod 47 is fixedly installed with a push-pull plate 50. The push-pull plate 50 is arranged in the wire clamping groove 43. Two wire clamping blocks 52 are symmetrically installed in the wire clamping groove 43. The wire clamping groove 43 is gradually narrowed and inclined from the bottom to the opening. The side walls of the two wire clamping blocks 52 away from each other are abutted against the side wall of the wire clamping groove 43. An opening groove 54 is opened on the end face of the two wire clamping blocks 52 opposite to each other. The opening groove 54 is arranged close to the threaded hole 44, and an arc groove 55 is opened on the side wall of the opening groove 54 close to the threaded hole 44. A clamping plate 51 is fixedly installed at the end of the push-pull plate 50 away from the plug rod 47, and the clamping plate 51 is clamped in the opening groove 54.

[0059] When the threaded rod 45 is rotated, the threaded rod 45 can move in the threaded hole 44. The movement of the threaded rod 45 will push the push-pull plate 50 to move synchronously. The push-pull plate 50 can stably move along the length direction of the threaded rod 45 by means of the plug rod 47. When the push-pull plate 50 moves, it will drive the clamping plate 51 to move. The clamping plate 51 drives the wire clamping block 52 to move through the opening groove 54. By means of the inner side wall of the wire clamping groove 43, the distance between the two wire clamping blocks 52 can be adjusted, and the clamping of the end of the wire harness is realized.

A limiting hole 57 is opened at the bottom of the wire clamping groove 43. The limiting hole 57 is arranged along the length direction of the side wall of the wire clamping groove 43. A sliding rod 56 is fixedly installed on the end face of the wire clamping block 52 facing the limiting hole 57, and the sliding rod 56 is slidably arranged in the limiting hole 57. By means of the turning handle 48 on the outside of the rotating handle 46, the threaded rod 45 can be easily rotated and adjusted.

[0061] Locking grooves 58 are also opened on both sides of the wire clamping groove 43 on the fixed block 42. A locking block 59 is fixedly installed in the locking grooves 58, and one end of the locking block 59 protrudes from the locking grooves 58. The locking block 59 can limit the wire clamping block 52 in the wire clamping groove 43.

[0062] Through the above solution of the present invention, the test mechanism 6 designed by the present invention is used in cooperation with the strip-shaped holes 8 symmetrically arranged in a scattering shape on the table board 1, and the torsion mechanism 29 and the locking mechanism 30 slidably installed on the test mechanism 6 can be adjusted to change the distance between the two, and while adjusting the distance between the torsion mechanism 29 and the locking mechanism 30, the distance between different test mechanisms 6 can also be changed, thereby avoiding the mutual influence of the wire harnesses between different test mechanisms 6.

[0063] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figures 14-19 For Embodiment 1, in order to enable the locking mechanism 30 to stably clamp the other end of the wire harness when the torsion mechanism 29 drives the wire harness to twist, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 30 includes a second mounting seat 60 fixedly installed on the top of the guide seat 31 arranged away from the torsion mechanism 29. A slot 62 is opened on the top of the second mounting seat 60. A vertical plate 61 is fixedly inserted inside the slot 62. On the end face of the vertical plate 61 facing the torsion mechanism 29, second slide rails 63 arranged symmetrically along the center are installed vertically. A second slider 65 is slidably installed on the second slide rails 63. One end face of the second slider 65 away from the second slide rails 63 is fixedly installed with a lifting block 64. A pressing hole 66 is opened at the center of the bottom of the lifting block 64. The aperture of the bottom of the pressing hole 66 is larger than the aperture of the top of the pressing hole 66. A retaining edge 67 is arranged inside the pressing hole 66. A base 68 is also fixedly installed on the vertical plate 61. The base 68 is arranged directly below the lifting block 64. A pressing rod 69 is also arranged between the base 68 and the lifting block 64. The top end of the pressing rod 69 is inserted into the pressing hole 66, and an annular plate 71 is fixedly installed on the outer part of the pressing rod 69. A top spring 72 is arranged between the annular plate 71 and the pressing hole 66. The top spring 72 is sleeved on the outer part of the pressing rod 69, and the top end of the top spring 72 abuts against the retaining edge 67. The bottom end of the pressing rod 69 is fixedly installed with a pressing block 70.

[0064] When a force is applied to the lifting block 64 to move it towards the base 68, the lifting block 64 can move towards the base 68 along the second slide rails 63 through the second slider 65. The movement of the lifting block 64 will squeeze the top spring 72 through the retaining edge 67 in the pressing hole 66. The top spring 72 can squeeze the annular plate 71 through the retaining edge 67, so that the annular plate 71 can drive the pressing rod 69 to move towards the base 68, and then the pressing block 70 can tightly abut against the base 68. If the end of the wire harness is placed between the pressing block 70 and the base 68, stable clamping of the end of the wire harness can be achieved.

[0065] An extension block 73 is also fixedly installed on the vertical plate 61. A guide sleeve 74 is installed through the extension block 73. The pressing rod 69 passes through the guide sleeve 74. A pressing groove 75 is opened on the top of the base 68. The pressing groove 75 is arranged directly opposite to the pressing block 70.

[0066] An assembly shaft 76 is also fixedly installed on the vertical plate 61. The assembly shaft 76 is arranged between two second slide rails 63. An eccentric wheel 77 is rotatably installed on the outer part of the assembly shaft 76. An arc-shaped hole 79 is formed in the eccentric wheel 77 and is arranged around the assembly shaft 76. A limiting shaft 80 is also fixedly installed on the vertical plate 61. The limiting shaft 80 is slidably arranged in the arc-shaped hole 79. A handle 78 is also fixedly installed on the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 77. By rotating the eccentric wheel 77 through the handle 78, the eccentric wheel 77 can rotate around the assembly shaft 76. When the eccentric wheel 77 rotates, it will squeeze the lifting block 64 through its bottom wall, so as to realize the adjustment of the pressure between the pressing block 70 and the pressing groove 75, and ensure the stable pressing of the end of the wire harness.

[0067] Through the above scheme of the present invention, the locking mechanism 30 provided by the present invention can realize the stable pressing of the end of the wire harness. Only by rotating the handle 78 can the pressing force of the end of the wire harness be adjusted, ensuring the stability of the wire harness during the stretching and torsion tests, and it is also very convenient to remove the wire harness subsequently. Just rotate the handle 78 in the reverse direction.

[0068] Embodiment 3: For Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, in order to better reflect the actual use effect of the above-mentioned automotive wire harness stretching and torsion test device, this embodiment also discloses a method for testing a wire harness by the above-mentioned automotive wire harness stretching and torsion test device, including the following steps:
