DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0026] In the existing method, due to the buckle of the terminal itself, the terminal and the female seat are buckled and connected during the speed measurement process to achieve a stable contact effect. However, this operation will damage the terminal seat during frequent testing, which will lead to poor contact in the later stage. At the same time, due to the clamping of the terminal seat, the efficiency is slow during the test. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this case proposes the following technical solutions: See also Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a technical solution for a wiring harness test fixture: its structure includes: a detection seat 1, an air pipe 2, the detection seat 1 is connected to an air pump 5 through the air pipe 2, a flat cable 3 is installed on the side of the detection seat 1, and a host 4 is connected through the flat cable 3, and the host 4 is connected to the air pump 5 through a wire signal, characterized in that: the detection seat 1 includes a test box 11 and a limit plate 12, the test box 11 is nested and connected with the limit plate 12, a bottom plate 13 is also installed at the bottom of the limit plate 12, a pneumatic interface 15 connected to the air pipe 2 is installed in the middle of the bottom plate 13, and a socket 14 is also installed on the surface of the bottom plate 13, and the bottom plate 13 is nested with the test box 11 through the socket 14 and the pneumatic interface 15.

[0027] The main structure of the device includes a detection socket 1, which is used to connect the terminal. The detection socket 1 is connected to the host 4 through a flat cable 3. The flat cable 3 serves as a signal line of the host 4 and is used to determine the connection status of the terminal line. An air pump 5 is installed on the side of the host 4. The air pump 5 is used to generate a high-pressure airflow through the air pipe 2 to help the test box 11 of the detection socket 1 to separate the buckle.

[0028] The structure of the detection seat 1 includes a test box 11, which is installed on the top of the base plate 13 through a limit plate 12. A socket 14 and a pneumatic interface 15 are set in the middle of the base plate 13. The airflow can be quickly connected to the test box 11 through the pneumatic interface 15, and the socket 14 and the test box 11 can be quickly connected to transmit signals.

[0029] The limiting box body 111 of the test box 11 is used for the clamping of the terminal, and the quick-connect bottom plate 113 is used for the contact of the metal sheet inside the terminal. A separation frame 112 is installed inside the first movable groove 103 of the limiting box body 111, and the separation frame 112 is used for the clamping and adjustment of the terminal. The specific plate base 101 is provided with multiple clamping slots 102, and a first movable groove 103 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the clamping slot 102, and a second movable groove 104 is provided on the opposite side of the first movable groove 103. A clamping clip 106 is installed inside the second movable groove 104, and the clamping clip 106 is fixed and limited by a limiting bolt 105. The size of the hole of the clamping slot 102 can be adjusted according to terminals of different sizes, thereby ensuring the stability of the release.

[0030] When manually engaging, the separation frame 112 will move to ensure that the buckle will not fall off. The specific separation frame 112 includes a regulator 121 and a synchronization frame 122. The synchronization frame 122 is used to support the synchronization regulator 121. A movable rod 124 is set in the middle of the synchronization frame 122. The movable rod 124 is connected to the inner groove 125 inside the quick-connect cavity seat 127. A reset spring 126 is set between the inner groove 125 and the movable rod 124. When installed, the quick-connect cavity seat 127 is engaged with the pneumatic interface 15, so as to facilitate rapid multi-way release driven by airflow.

[0031] When tripping is required, airflow is introduced into the inner groove 125, and the airflow will quickly push the movable rod 124 to the limit position. A through hole is provided in the middle of the movable rod 124, which will synchronously pump out the airflow through the hollow synchronization frame 122 and out from the airflow nozzle 123, and then when the synchronization frame 122 moves, the terminal of the slot 102 can be pushed out by the airflow, thereby improving the efficiency of tripping.

[0032] The structure of the regulator 121 includes a first frame 211, and a second frame 213 is arranged inside the first frame 211. The second frame 213 is adjusted by an adjustment handle 215 on the top. When the second frame 213 is displaced, the position of the socket 212 changes. The socket 212 cooperates with the positioning clip 106 to change the center point of the terminal, making the snap fit more stable.

[0033] Long-term connection may cause oxidation of the metal rod on the surface of the movable terminal frame 135, resulting in poor contact during the contact process, which may lead to false alarms.

[0034] The device is optimized in this regard. A locking base 133 and a movable terminal frame 135 are set on the top of the circuit board 131. A plurality of grooves and protrusions are set on the opposite surfaces of the locking base 133 and the movable terminal frame 135. The contact stability can be improved by cooperating between the grooves and the protrusions. In order to avoid shaking, a column is set at the bottom of the movable terminal frame 135. The movable terminal frame 135 cooperates with the limiting middle groove 134 in the middle of the locking base 133 through the column to avoid falling off. The locking clip 106 will quickly connect the top of the bottom plate 113 when limiting to avoid signal interference. Similarly, the circuit board 131 performs rapid signal locking through the terminal interface 132 at the bottom, which is more convenient when in use. A buffer spring 214 is provided between the holder 212 and the second frame 213 to avoid danger during manual locking.

[0035] The improved device determines the connectivity status of the wiring harness to be tested through the test box 11, and the regulator 121 is provided with an independent movable mechanism. When the adjusting handle 215 adjusts the pneumatic interface 15, the pressure of the regulator 121 can be changed, and when release is required, the inner groove 125 inside the quick-connect cavity seat 127 inputs airflow, and the airflow passing through the quick-connect cavity seat 127 can displace the entirety of the synchronous frame 122 in the axial direction of the movable rod 124, which can reduce the pressure of the buckle, and the hollow structure inside the synchronous frame 122 can introduce airflow through the movable rod 124 to eject the wiring harness after release through the airflow nozzle 123, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.

[0036] The above only describes the basic principles and preferred implementations of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make many changes and improvements based on the above description, and these changes and improvements should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
