[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire harness testing equipment technology, and in particular to a wire harness terminal cross-sectional testing and analysis device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of wire harness technology and the increasing importance of wire harness terminals for product safety, various industries have higher and higher requirements for the quality of wire harness terminals. By analyzing the process characteristics of wire harness terminals, it has been found that they are characterized by small size, high requirements for dimensional accuracy, geometric tolerances, cross-sectional quality, and large batch production. During the processing, defects such as chip skipping, fan-shaped defects, and uneven spacing may occur. Cross-sectional analysis is an important means of verifying crimping quality at the microscopic level, a point that has been increasingly recognized by industry professionals.

[0008] A further improvement is that the clamping mechanism includes a clamping seat, a fixed clamping block is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping seat, a movable clamping block is slidably installed on the other side of the clamping seat, and a clamping screw is threadedly installed on the clamping seat, with the end of the clamping screw rotatably connected to the movable clamping block.

[0009] A further improvement is that the second movable seat has a convex structure, a slot is provided at the front end of the second movable seat, a clamping block is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping seat, the clamping block is adapted to the slot, and a locking bolt is threaded on one side of the front end of the second movable seat, with the end of the locking bolt extending into the slot.

[0024] The clamping mechanism includes a clamping seat 24.

By rotating the clamping screw 27, the clamping screw 27 pushes the movable clamping block 26 to move, thereby clamping the wire harness terminal in the middle between the fixed clamping block 25 and the movable clamping block 26.

[0025] The second movable seat 20 has a convex structure. A slot 28 is provided at the front end of the second movable seat 20. A clamping block 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping seat 24. The clamping block 29 is adapted to the slot 28.

The clamping seat 24 is installed on the second movable seat 20 by being inserted into the slot 28 through the clamping block 29. By rotating the locking bolt 30, the locking bolt 30 abuts against the clamping block 29, thereby locking.

[0026] A lead screw 31 is installed inside the housing 1 near the image acquisition lens 3. A third motor 32 is installed on one side of the housing 1.

The lower end of the moving block 33 is slidably disposed in the limit groove 34. A placement shell 35 is installed on one side of the moving block 33. A wiping plate 36 is placed inside the placement shell 35. When the rotating plate 2 drives the clamping mechanism to rotate the wire harness terminal to the side of the image acquisition lens 3, the third motor 32 drives the lead screw 31 to rotate. The moving block 33 slides along the limit groove 34 through the rotation of the lead screw 31.

As the wiping blade 36 moves into the housing 37, the upper end of the wiping blade 36 contacts the ball bearing 41, causing the ball bearing 41 to rotate. The corrosive cleaning solution in the liquid filling tank 38 is released into the tank as the ball bearing 41 rotates. The cleaning fluid drips from the hole 40 onto the wiping pad 36, which absorbs the corrosion cleaning fluid to facilitate subsequent corrosion cleaning of the wire harness terminal cross-section. After the wiping pad 36 has completely moved into the housing 37, it stops pushing the ball 41 to roll, and the ball 41 blocks the liquid filling hole 40, stopping the corrosion cleaning fluid from dripping. A water-absorbing cotton 39 is installed on one side of the housing 37, which absorbs the residual corrosion cleaning fluid flowing out of the liquid filling hole 40.

[0028] During processing, the wire harness terminal is placed on the clamping seat 24, and the clamping screw 27 is rotated to make the movable clamping block 26 cooperate with the fixed clamping block 25 to clamp and fix the wire harness terminal. The clamping block 29 of the clamping seat 24 is inserted into the slot 28 on the second moving seat 20 and the locking bolt 30 is tightened to fix it. When the equipment is started, the first motor 17 drives the first screw 15 to rotate, which adjusts the position of the first moving seat 13 left and right. The second motor 21 drives the gear 22 to rotate, which makes the second moving seat 20 move back and forth with the rack 23, thereby moving the clamped wire harness terminal closer to the cutting disc 10 for cutting, and then closer to the grinding disc 11 for grinding. After cutting and grinding, the rotating motor 42 drives the rotating plate 2 to move, so that the cut and ground wire harness terminal is moved to the side of the image acquisition lens 3. The third motor 32 drives the lead screw 31 to rotate, and the moving block 33 moves left and right with the rotation of the lead screw 31. The wiping plate 36 wipes and cleans the cut surface of the wire harness terminal with the movement of the moving block 33. The image acquisition lens 3 acquires images of the cut surface of the wire harness terminal. The detection and analysis system performs data analysis based on the acquired images. The acquired images and analyzed data are displayed on the display 4. The operator makes a judgment based on the image and data structure of the wire harness.
