[0024] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 A wire harness continuity test fixture comprises a receiving chamber 2, a contact station 3 is correspondingly arranged in the receiving chamber 2, the receiving chamber 2 is used to receive the end of the wire harness to be tested, the contact station 3 is electrically connected to the end of the wire harness to be tested in the receiving chamber 2, and is used to test the wire harness to be tested;

[0026] Specifically, the body of the continuity tester 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure disposed on the ground, and the accommodating cavity 2 is disposed at the top of the port;

[0027] Since the ends of the wire harnesses to be tested have different models or specifications, and the shapes and sizes of the different models or specifications are different, for each numbered plug, specifically, a plurality of accommodating cavities 2 are provided. In this embodiment, a plurality of accommodating cavities 2 are provided on the surface of the rectangular continuity tester 1, and the plurality of accommodating cavities 2 are used to accommodate the ends of the wire harnesses of several specifications;

[0028] At the same time, for each accommodating cavity 2, a contact platform 3 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 2. Specifically, a plurality of energizing pins are arranged on the contact platform 3. The setting positions of the plurality of energizing pins correspond to the positions of the contacts at the end of the wiring harness after the wiring harness corresponding to the accommodating cavity 2 where the energizing pins are located is inserted into the accommodating cavity 2. At this time, when the wiring harness corresponding to the accommodating cavity 2 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 2, the contacts on it contact with the energizing pins of the contact platform 3, and the wiring harness is connected to the energizing pins. At this time, the wiring harness completes the electrical connection with the contact platform 3, and then is electrically connected with the conductivity tester 1, and the conductivity tester 1 can test the wiring harness.

[0029] In order to fix the wiring harness during the test and prevent it from falling off, a cylinder lock 5 is also included. The cylinder lock 5 includes a switch 4. The switch 4 is used to instruct the opening and closing of the cylinder lock 5. The cylinder lock 5 is used to lock the wiring harness to be tested in the accommodating cavity 2 when closed. When the end of the wiring harness to be tested is inserted into the accommodating cavity 2, the switch 4 is triggered to open the cylinder lock 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cylinder lock 5 is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 2, and a corresponding space is opened on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 2 to place the cylinder lock 5. The end of the cylinder lock 5 close to the wire harness can be close to or away from the wire harness. When the cylinder lock 5 approaches and contacts the wire harness, the cylinder lock 5 fixes the wire harness in the accommodating chamber 2, thereby completing the locking of the wire harness.

[0031] At the same time, the switch 4 located in the accommodating chamber 2 is connected to a circuit board, the circuit board is connected to the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve is connected to the air pipe, the air pipe is connected to the cylinder lock 5, and the cylinder lock 5 is driven to fasten the plug. The switch 4 is set to be squeezed back to the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 2 after the wire harness is inserted into the accommodating chamber 2. Then the switch 4 sends an electrical signal when it is squeezed to the circuit board, and the circuit board drives the solenoid valve, so that the cylinder lock 5 fastens the plug;

[0032] When the wire harness is inserted into the accommodating cavity 2, the wire harness itself squeezes the switch 4, so that the switch 4 drives the solenoid valve through the circuit board. At this time, the solenoid valve opens, the air pipe is ventilated, and the cylinder lock 5 is driven to fasten the plug, thereby completing the locking of the wire harness;

[0033] When a large number of accommodating cavities 2 are provided, sometimes the operator cannot quickly determine whether a wiring harness has been placed in a certain accommodating cavity 2 for testing. In order to facilitate the operator to quickly grasp the situation of each accommodating cavity 2, an indicator light 6 is also included. The indicator light 6 is electrically connected to the switch 4. The switch 4 is used to instruct the opening and closing of the indicator light 6. When the end of the wiring harness to be tested is inserted into the accommodating cavity 2, the switch 4 is triggered to turn off the indicator light 6.

[0034] Specifically, the switch 4 is connected to a circuit board, and the circuit board is also electrically connected to the indicator light 6. The circuit board is set so that when the switch 4 is not triggered, the command indicator light 6 is always on, and when the switch 4 is triggered, the command indicator light 6 is turned off. At the same time, each accommodating cavity 2 corresponds to a switch 4, and each switch 4 controls a corresponding indicator light 6 through the circuit board. At this time, each accommodating cavity 2 corresponds to an indicator light 6;

[0035] When in use, part of the accommodating cavity 2 is inserted into the harness to be tested, at this time the harness to be tested squeezes and triggers the switch 4, and after receiving the signal, the circuit board instructs the corresponding indicator light 6 to turn off, and part of the accommodating cavity 2 is not inserted into the harness to be tested, at this time the switch 4 is not triggered, and the circuit board instruction indicator light 6 remains lit. At this time, the operator can quickly locate the accommodating cavity 2 where the harness is not placed by looking for the lit indicator light 6;

[0036] In some cases, when the continuity tester 1 determines that the test result of the wiring harness is unqualified after testing, the operator does not pay attention to the test result, and directly removes the unqualified wiring harness and puts the unqualified wiring harness together with the qualified products. In order to prevent the operator from directly removing the unqualified wiring harness, the contact table 3 is electrically connected to the cylinder lock 5. When the contact table 3 determines that the tested wiring harness is unqualified, it instructs the cylinder lock 5 to lock. The cylinder lock 5 is electrically connected to a reset switch, and the reset switch is used to instruct the opening and closing of the cylinder lock 5;

[0037] Specifically, the contact station 3, the reset switch and the switch 4 are electrically connected to the circuit board respectively. When the contact station 3 tests the wiring harness each time, the test result is sent to the circuit board. When the circuit board receives the test result indicating that it is unqualified, the cylinder lock 5 is instructed to close, and at this time the circuit board waits for the instruction of the reset switch;

[0038] At the same time, the reset switch is provided with an unqualified removal instruction, and the reset switch is pre-entered with authorized users. Only authorized users can instruct the reset switch to issue an unqualified removal instruction. When the unqualified removal instruction is issued, the cylinder maintains the clamping of the wire harness, and only responds to the unqualified removal instruction and unlocks the cylinder lock 5;

[0039] When the wiring harness of a certain accommodating cavity 2 in the conduction tester 1 is judged to be unqualified, an unqualified instruction is issued to the circuit board, and the circuit board instructs the cylinder lock 5 corresponding to the accommodating cavity 2 to clamp, and the authorized user issues an unqualified removal instruction to the reset switch, and the reset switch instructs the circuit board to unlock the cylinder lock 5;

[0040] By setting a reset switch, the wiring harness that fails the test is clamped, and it is set so that only authorized users can issue instructions through the reset switch, so that the removal of the unqualified wiring harness is reminded, reducing the probability of unqualified products flowing out.

[0041] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0042] When the wiring harness corresponding to the accommodating cavity 2 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 2, the contacts on it contact the energizing pins of the contact platform 3, and the wiring harness is connected to the energizing pins. At this time, the wiring harness completes the electrical connection with the contact platform 3, and then is electrically connected to the conductivity tester 1. The conductivity tester 1 can test the wiring harness.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
