[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the wire harness seal air extraction pressure holding test instrument of this embodiment includes:

[0020] The cavity 1 is used to install the plastic shell, and a trigger switch 11 is arranged inside the cavity 1; the cavity 1 is connected to a digital display meter 5 for testing and displaying the pressure value in the cavity 1.

[0021] The air lock 2 is arranged on one side of the cavity 1 and is used to lock the plastic shell. The air lock 2 is connected to an air lock solenoid valve 21, and the air lock solenoid valve 21 is connected to the trigger switch 11. When the trigger switch 11 is turned on, the air lock solenoid valve 21 is turned on, and the air lock solenoid valve 21 is controlled to be closed or cut off by the PLC controller.

[0022] The vacuum generator 3 is connected to the cavity 1 and is used to form a negative pressure between the cavity 1 and the plastic shell. One end of the vacuum generator 3 is connected to a negative pressure solenoid valve 31, and the other end is connected to a check solenoid valve 32. The negative pressure solenoid valve 31 and the air lock solenoid valve 21 are both connected to the air source 4; the check solenoid valve 32 is connected to the cavity 1 for pressure relief.

[0023] PLC controller 6, PLC controller 6 is connected with digital display 5, ON switch 61 and OFF switch 62 for signal input, and PLC controller 6 is connected with negative pressure solenoid valve 31, check solenoid valve 32 and air lock solenoid valve 21 for signal output. When ON switch 61 is triggered, negative pressure solenoid valve 31 works, after digital display 5 reaches the preset value, ON switch 61 is closed, check solenoid valve 32 is started, and pressure relief can be performed, PLC controller 6 controls negative pressure solenoid valve 31 to close, OFF switch 62 is triggered, PLC controller 6 will disconnect air lock solenoid valve 21, stop air intake of air lock 2, and make air lock 2 return to its position so that the plastic shell can be taken out. The above information input and output are executed by the PLC system.

[0024] The PLC controller 6 is connected with a qualified indicator light 63 and a failed indicator light 64 for signal output, and different colored lights can be used for distinction.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model:

[0026] When in use, the plastic shell is inserted into the cavity 1. The internal design of the cavity 1 is consistent with the shape of the plastic shell, so that it can better meet the test. After insertion, the trigger switch 11 will be touched, so that the air lock solenoid valve 21 is turned on, and the gas from the gas source 4 enters the air lock 2 through the air lock solenoid valve 21, so that the air lock 2 works and the plastic shell is locked. At this time, the detection can be started, and the ON switch 61 is triggered for detection. The ON switch 61 transmits the opening information to the PLC controller 6. The PLC controller controls the negative pressure solenoid valve 31 to be turned on, and a negative pressure is formed in the cavity through the vacuum generator 3. The negative pressure is set to 50kPa. When the digital display 5 reaches 50kPa, the PLC controller 6 controls the negative pressure solenoid valve 31 to be turned off, and the gas is restricted by the check solenoid valve 32 and cannot pass through, so that the cavity is in a pressure-maintaining state. After a certain period of time (usually 1-3s), the pressure remains in the set range, and it is considered that the sealing of the plastic shell is qualified. At this time, the PLC controller 6 controls the qualified display light 63 to be always on, and a green light can be used for identification. The plastic shell can be taken out, the OFF switch 62 is triggered, the check solenoid valve 32 is turned on, the gas can be depressurized through the check solenoid valve 32, and the air lock solenoid valve 21 is closed at the same time, the air lock 2 releases the restriction on the plastic shell, and the plastic shell can be pulled out. During the process of vacuuming and pressure maintaining, the qualified indicator light 63 can be controlled to flash to show that it is in working state. If the pressure during the pressure maintaining process is not within the set range, the plastic shell inspection is unqualified, and the PLC controller controls the unqualified indicator light 64 to light up, which can be marked with a red light. After taking out the plastic shell, the indicator lights are all off.

[0027] The entire test process can be automated, precisely controlled and the results can be visualized, which can effectively improve the detection efficiency and accuracy. Through clear indications of pass and fail, operators can quickly understand the test results.

[0028] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and the common sense such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described too much here. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the utility model is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, and it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the utility model. Any figure mark in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
