[0047] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientation, such as the orientation or positional relationship indicated by up, down, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" refers to more than two. The use of "first" or "second" is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0051] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0052] The existing wire harness tensile testing device can only test the overall tensile performance of the wire harness 700, that is, to perform an overall test on the tensile performance of multiple wires 720. During production, according to different signal transmissions, the models and materials of the wires 720 in the wire harness 700 will be different. Performing an overall stretch will not be able to test the tensile performance of each wire 720. In addition, the existing wire harness tensile testing device is also unable to test the connection performance between the wires 720 and the terminal blocks 710, and the plug-in performance of the terminal blocks 710. When performing a tensile test on the wire harness 700, it is also difficult to test whether the internal structure of the wire harness 700 is normal. For the tensile test, it can only be identified through external observation. Therefore, the present invention proposes a wire harness tensile testing device to solve the above technical problems.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the wire harness tensile testing device of the present invention includes a first tensile mechanism and a second tensile mechanism.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the first stretching mechanism of the present invention includes a first clamping assembly 100, a second clamping assembly 200, and a first stretching drive assembly. The first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 are symmetrically arranged at intervals along the transverse direction. Specifically, the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 in this embodiment are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. In some other embodiments, the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 can be symmetrically arranged on the top and bottom or symmetrically arranged on the front and back. This embodiment takes the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 as an example of being symmetrically arranged on the left and right.

[0055] The first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 of this embodiment are structurally identical. The first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 respectively include a wire clamping module 110 and a terminal clamping module 120 arranged in the left-right direction, wherein the two wire clamping modules 110 are arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides, and the two terminal clamping modules 120 are respectively located on the side away from each other of the two wire clamping modules 110. The wire clamping module 110 is used to clamp and fix all the wires 720 of the wiring harness 700, and the terminal clamping module 120 is used to clamp and fix the connection terminals 710 of the wiring harness 700.

[0056] The first stretching drive assembly is used to drive the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 to move closer to and away from each other in the left-right direction.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second stretching mechanism of this embodiment includes a lifting seat 300, a mobile driving assembly 800 and a second stretching driving member 400. The lifting seat 300 is located between the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200. Preferably, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting seat 300 of this embodiment is arranged on the central symmetry axis between the first clamping component 100 and the second clamping component 200, the moving drive component 800 is used to drive the lifting seat 300 to move longitudinally, and the second stretching drive component 400 is used to drive the lifting seat 300 to move along the symmetrical axis between the first clamping component 100 and the second clamping component 200, wherein the symmetrical axis, transverse direction and longitudinal direction are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0058] It can be understood that according to the arrangement direction of the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200, the longitudinal direction is the front-to-back direction, and the axial direction of symmetry is the up-down direction, the moving drive assembly 800 drives the lifting seat 300 to move forward and backward, and the second stretching drive member 400 drives the lifting seat 300 to rise and fall in the up-down direction, wherein the top or bottom of the lifting seat 300 conflicts with the single wire 720 in the wiring harness 700. The top of the lifting seat 300 of this embodiment conflicts with the single wire 720 in the wiring harness 700.

[0059] When in use, the harness 700 to be tested is extended left and right, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the terminal clamping modules 120 on the left and right sides clamp and fix the wiring terminals 710 at both ends of the wiring harness 700, and then the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 are driven away from each other by the first tensile driving assembly to achieve the connection performance test between the wiring terminals 710 and all the wires 720; Figure 5 As shown, while the wiring terminals 710 at both ends of the wiring harness 700 are clamped and fixed, the lifting seat 300 can also be used to abut against the outer periphery of the wire 720. When the second stretching drive member 400 drives the lifting seat 300 to move upward, the wire 720 is stretched by the lifting seat 300, and the lifting seat 300 is driven to move in the front-to-back direction by the moving drive assembly 800, so that the lifting seat 300 can correspond to each wire 720 to achieve the connection performance test between each wire 720 and the wiring terminal 710; as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the ends of all the wires 720 in the wire harness 700 are clamped and fixed by the wire clamping modules 110 on the left and right sides, and then the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 are driven away from each other by the first tensile driving assembly to achieve the tensile performance test of all the wires 720; Figure 7 As shown, after clamping and fixing both ends of all the wires 720 in the wiring harness 700, the lifting seat 300 can also be used to abut against the outer periphery of the wire 720. When the second stretching drive member 400 drives the lifting seat 300 to move upward, the wire 720 is stretched by the lifting seat 300, and the lifting seat 300 is driven to move in the front and rear directions by the moving drive assembly 800, so that the lifting seat 300 can correspond to each wire 720 to realize the test of the tensile performance of each wire 720. The wire harness tensile testing device of the present invention can realize the test of the connection performance between the terminal 710 and the wire 720, the tensile performance of all the wires 720, and the tensile performance of each wire 720, and has multiple testing functions.

[0060] During the test, the stretching force is controlled and monitored by adjusting and monitoring the driving force of the first stretching drive assembly and the second stretching drive member 400 .

[0061] In some other embodiments, when testing the tensile properties of a single wire 720 or testing the connection performance between a single wire 720 and a terminal 710, the corresponding wire 720 can be supported by the lifting seat 300 so that the middle part of the wire 720 arches upward, and then the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 are driven away from each other by the first tensile drive assembly. A tensile test can also be performed on a single guide. At this time, the force exerted by the first tensile drive assembly on the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 is monitored as the tensile force.

[0062] Considering that during the use of the wiring harness 700, the plug-in performance between the terminal 710 and the terminal socket 500 also needs to be considered, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 of this embodiment further include a terminal socket 500 and a third stretching drive assembly, respectively. The terminal socket 500 is located on the side of the terminal clamping module 120 facing away from the wire clamping module 110, and the third stretching drive assembly drives the terminal socket 500 and the terminal clamping module 120 to move closer to and away from each other in the lateral direction. It can be understood that, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, when it is necessary to test the plug-in performance between the wiring terminal 710 and the terminal socket 500, the wiring terminals 710 at both ends of the wiring harness 700 are respectively plugged into the two terminal sockets 500, and then the terminal clamping module 120 is used to support and fix the wiring terminal 710, and the terminal socket 500 and the terminal clamping module 120 are driven away from each other by the third tensile driving component, and the driving force of the third tensile driving component is controlled to realize the plug-in performance between the wiring terminal 710 and the terminal socket 500, so as to test the tensile force required for the separation between the wiring terminal 710 and the terminal socket 500.

[0063] In addition, when conducting other tests, the terminal block 710 can also be connected to the terminal socket 500 to achieve pre-installation of the wiring harness 700. Then, the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 are driven away from each other by the first stretching drive assembly to allow the wiring harness 700 to be fully unfolded. Then, the wire clamping module 110 clamps and fixes the wire 720, or the terminal clamping module 120 clamps and fixes the terminal block 710.

[0064] Furthermore, considering the current tensile testing method, the wire harness 700 can only be tested by controlling the tensile force to determine whether the various connections or guides in the wire harness 700 can withstand the set tensile force. During the test, the wire harness 700 can only be observed to see if there is any damage on the outside, or after the tensile test, the wire harness 700 is removed and then installed on the set equipment for signal function testing. This test is inefficient and the internal structure of the wire harness 700 cannot be seen, resulting in inaccuracy. The wire harness 700 is also easily affected by transportation and disassembly.

[0065] This embodiment also provides a signal generator receiver (not shown in the figure), and the signal output end and signal receiving end of the signal generator receiver are respectively connected to the two terminal sockets 500. When testing, the wiring terminals 710 at both ends of the wiring harness 700 are plugged together with the terminal sockets 500 to form an electrical circuit. At this time, the signal generated by the signal generator receiver is transmitted to one end of the wiring harness 700, and then the other end of the wiring harness 700 transmits the signal back to the signal generator receiver. If the wiring harness 700 operates normally, the signal generator receiver will receive the set signal information. If the wiring harness 700 is abnormal, there is a break inside the wire 720, there is poor electrical contact between the wiring terminal 710 and the wire 720, and there is poor electrical contact between the wiring terminal 710 and the terminal socket 500, then the signal generator receiver cannot receive the signal information.

[0066] Furthermore, when performing the above-mentioned various functional tests on the wiring harness 700, the terminal 710 can be connected to the terminal socket 500, and the signal generator receiver can be turned on, and then the above-mentioned operations can be performed. By monitoring the signal information of the signal generator receiver, it can be detected whether the wiring harness 700 is damaged. It can also be used as an indicator of the tensile test. When performing the maximum tensile test, the test can be performed based on the signal of the signal generator receiver and the outside of the wiring harness 700 to determine the maximum tensile force that the wiring harness 700 can withstand in different functional tests.

[0067] Furthermore, when a single wire 720 is subjected to a tensile test, since the wire 720 needs to be bent, if the orientation of the terminal 710 remains unchanged, the wire 720 and the wire opening of the terminal 710 will form a certain angle, which will generate a certain shear force on the wire 720, and even generate friction between the wire 720 and the wire opening of the terminal 710, affecting the accuracy of the tensile test. In order to overcome the shear force and friction of the wire 720, this embodiment is provided. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 of this embodiment also include a rotating seat 130, a movable seat 140 and a locking structure 150, respectively. The rotating seat 130 is rotatably installed on the movable seat 140, and the rotating axis of the rotating seat 130 is along the front-to-back direction, and the locking structure 150 is used to lock the rotation angle of the rotating seat 130. The terminal socket 500, the terminal clamping module 120 and the wire clamping module 110 are arranged in a straight line along the same diameter direction of the rotating seat 130.

[0068] When a single wire 720 is subjected to a tensile test, the locking structure 150 is released, allowing the rotating seat 130 to rotate freely on the movable seat 140. When the lifting seat 300 supports the corresponding wire 720, causing the middle part of the wire 720 to arch upward, the rotating seat 130 will rotate following the extension direction of the two ends of the wire 720, so that the extension direction of the two ends of the wire 720 is located in the diameter direction of the rotating seat 130, that is, the arrangement direction between the terminal socket 500, the terminal clamping module 120 and the wire clamping module 110 remains in the same direction as the two ends of the wire 720, and they are all located in the same diameter direction of the rotating seat 130.

[0069] When performing other functional tests, the rotation angle of the rotating base 130 is locked by the locking structure 150 so that the wire clamping modules 110 on the left and right sides are arranged relative to each other.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the locking structure 150 of this embodiment includes a locking bolt 151, wherein the locking bolt 151 is threadedly installed on the movable seat 140, and the rotating seat 130 is provided with a locking opening 152, and the locking bolt 151 extends into the locking opening 152 to achieve locking of the rotating seat 130. In some other embodiments, the locking structure 150 may adopt other structures, for example, it may be fixed by a pin.

[0071] In addition, in this embodiment, when a tensile test is performed on a single wire 720 , the positions of the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200 in the left-right direction are fixed.
