[0002] As an essential part of the automotive electrical system, the automotive wire harness is not only a connection bridge between electrical devices, but also the key to ensuring the smooth operation of the entire electrical system. Therefore, the quality of its waterproof performance directly affects the stable operation of electrical devices, and thus is related to driving safety. During the driving of an automobile, various complex climatic and environmental conditions will be encountered, such as rainwater, snow water, muddy water, etc. If the waterproof performance of the automotive wire harness is poor, these moisture may penetrate into the interior of the wire harness, resulting in short circuits or corrosion of the wires inside the wire harness, thereby affecting the normal operation of electrical devices. Once an electrical device fails, it will not only affect the normal driving of the automobile, but also pose a threat to the life safety of the driver; when driving in rainy or snowy weather, if the waterproof performance of the automotive wire harness is poor, moisture may enter the interior of the wire harness, resulting in a short circuit of the wires, and then triggering a fire or other safety accidents. In order to improve the waterproof performance of automotive wire harnesses, manufacturers need to use high-quality waterproof materials and strictly control the production process to ensure that each wire harness has good waterproof performance. At the same time, drivers should also regularly check the waterproof performance of the automotive wire harness, promptly discover and repair potential problems to ensure driving safety.

[0003] Traditional testing devices for the waterproof performance of automotive wire harnesses usually use the method of spraying or soaking the wire harness from the outside to detect the waterproof performance of the wire harness. The spraying or soaking method cannot fully cover all parts of the wire harness, and the inside of the wire harness cannot be detected. The spraying or soaking method may not be able to simulate various factors in the actual use environment. Due to the length and complexity of the wire harness, the testing process may take a long time to ensure that each part is fully tested. This may lead to low testing efficiency and increased testing costs and time costs. Therefore, through technological innovation and design optimization, it is necessary to realize the optimization of a testing device for the waterproof performance of automotive wire harnesses. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the present utility model. In addition, the forms of the respective structures described in the following embodiments are merely examples, and the instrument rack involved in the present utility model is not limited to the respective structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] This embodiment introduces the specific structure of a waterproof performance testing device for automotive wire harnesses, specifically referring to Figures 1 - 3As shown, an automotive wire harness waterproof performance testing device includes: a detection box body 1 and a mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the detection box body 1. An immersion tank 13 is provided at the bottom of the detection box body 1 for placing tap water.

One side of the mounting plate 2 is rotatably connected to a first connecting rod 4 through a first connecting pin 3, and one side of the mounting plate 2 is rotatably connected to a second connecting rod 5 through a first connecting pin 3. Both the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 can rotate 90° around the first connecting pin 3. During the rotation process, the movement of the wire harness sleeve can simulate the real situation during the movement of the vehicle. A positioning pin 51 is provided on one side of the second connecting rod 5, and a grip 52 is installed at the top of the second connecting rod 5. A silica gel anti-slip sleeve is sleeved on the surface of the grip 52. When the staff holds the grip 52 to drag and move, it can drive the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 to move. The silica gel anti-slip sleeve can increase the friction between the palm and the grip 52. One end of the first connecting rod 4 and one end of the second connecting rod 5 are both rotatably connected to a support plate 6 through a first connecting pin 3. The support plates 6 are symmetrically arranged. The support plate 6 is triangular, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The narrow bottom and wide top of the support plate 6 can ensure that the wire harness sleeve is placed in the immersion tank 13. At the same time, it can also reduce the space occupied by the testing device.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] When the staff uses this automotive wire harness waterproof performance testing device to simulate the motion state to detect the waterproof performance of the wire harness, the staff first loads the sponge into the wire harness sleeve, then fixes both ends of the wire harness sleeve on the threaded grooves 81. The air guide columns 11 evenly inject air into the wire harness sleeve. Then the staff holds the grip 52 to drive the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 to move. The first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 push the support plate 6 to move. Hold the grip 52 to make a reciprocating motion, and the wire harness sleeve repeatedly enters and exits the immersion tank 13, simulating the moving state of the wire harness sleeve during driving. After 5 minutes, remove the wire harness sleeve and observe the humidity of the sponge, and compare it with the humidity of the sponge in the wire harness sleeve with the standard waterproof performance of the same material to confirm whether the waterproof performance of the tested wire harness sleeve meets the requirements.

[0027] Example 2:

One side of the support plate 6 is rotatably connected with a buckle 10 through a second connecting pin 9. The top positioning buckle of the buckle 10 is adapted to the positioning pin 51. The buckle 10 and the positioning pin 51 cooperate to lock the support plate 6 and fix the connecting plate 7 in a horizontal position. Thread grooves 81 are provided on the outer sides of both the injection water column 8 and the gas guide column 11. A first threaded sealing sleeve 82 is sleeved outside the thread groove 81 of the injection water column 8. A second threaded sealing sleeve 12 is sleeved outside the thread groove 81 of the gas guide column 11. Both ends of the wire harness sleeve are respectively sleeved on the thread grooves 81 of the injection water column 8 and the gas guide column 11. The cooperation of the first threaded sealing sleeve 82 and the second threaded sealing sleeve 12 with the thread groove 81 can completely seal the wire harness sleeve, ensure the airtightness inside, and improve the accuracy of detection. The first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 can rotate 90° around the first connecting pin 3. The inner hole diameters of the first threaded sealing sleeve 82 and the second threaded sealing sleeve 12 are larger than the diameter of the thread groove 81.

[0030] When the staff uses this automotive wire harness waterproof performance testing device to test the waterproof performance of the wire harness during soaking, the staff first fixes both ends of the wire harness sleeve on the thread groove 81, fills the tap water in the soaking tank 13, the gas guide column 11 evenly injects air into the wire harness sleeve, immerses the wire harness sleeve into the soaking tank 13 to simulate the state of the car being soaked in water. The staff observes the change of water surface bubbles within 5 minutes and compares it with the bubble generation rate of the wire harness sleeve with the standard waterproof performance of the same material within 5 minutes to confirm whether the waterproof performance of the tested wire harness sleeve meets the requirements.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners.
