[0020] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Among them, the drawings are only for illustrative purposes, showing only schematic diagrams, not physical diagrams, and should not be construed as a limitation to this patent; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.
[0021] The present utility model provides a connector waterproof ring detachment test bench, including a chassis 1 and a fixing component. A driving motor 2 and a controller are arranged inside the chassis 1. The fixing component is arranged above the top of the chassis 1 and can rotate circumferentially under the action of the driving motor. The fixing component includes a rectangular box 3 with openings on the left and right sides, a U-shaped wire groove 4, a lower clamping jaw 5, an upper clamping jaw 6 and an adjusting screw 7. The U-shaped wire groove 4 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the rectangular box 3 and both ends extend out from the left and right side openings of the rectangular box 3. The lower clamping jaw 5 is arranged on the U-shaped wire groove 4 located inside the rectangular box 3. The upper clamping jaw 6 is movably arranged between the front and rear side walls of the rectangular box 3 and corresponds to the lower clamping jaw 5. The adjusting screw 7 is threadedly penetrated through the top of the rectangular box, and its lower end is vertically downward and arranged on the upper clamping jaw 6. A touch screen 8 is arranged on the front side of the chassis 1. The driving motor 2 and the touch screen 8 are respectively connected to the controller. Among them, the chassis is composed of a sheet metal box and an aluminum plate on the top. An openable box door is arranged on one side of the sheet metal box. A handle is arranged on the box door, and a reserved through hole for handle installation can be seen from the figure. The driving motor is connected with a servo driver, and the servo driver is connected to the controller. Through the servo driver, precise positioning is achieved. In order to conform to the ergonomic design, the upper part of the front side of the chassis is designed as a slope, so that the touch screen is inclined, which is convenient to view and not easy to reflect light.
[0022] During use, place at least one connector on one side of the U-shaped wire groove. The front end of the connector and its front waterproof ring should be located outside the U-shaped wire groove. The wire at the rear side of the connector is placed along the U-shaped wire groove and extends into the rectangular box. The wire of the connector is fixed by the lower clamping jaw and the upper clamping jaw. Straighten the wire, measure the length from the front waterproof ring of the connector to the center of the rectangular box, input the length on the touch screen, and the motor speed will be automatically brought out. Set the rotation holding time (usually 10s), drive the motor to act, drive the connector and the waterproof ring to rotate. After the rotation stops, record the position of the waterproof ring (i.e., the seal) on the connector to determine whether the waterproof ring falls off at a certain rotational speed, and then determine whether its holding force meets the requirements. If the position remains unchanged, it can be considered that the waterproof ring does not fall off and its holding force meets the requirements; if the position changes, it can be considered that the waterproof ring falls off and its holding force does not meet the requirements. Of course, two connectors can also be placed on both sides of the U-shaped wire groove at the same time. At this time, the distances from the front waterproof rings of the two connectors to the center of the rectangular box should be equal or close.

[0026] To ensure that the adjusting screw can drive the upper jaw to move when rotating, the adjusting screw is arranged on the upper jaw in the following way. A through connection groove 16 is formed in the top of the upper jaw 5 along its left-right direction, and a convex part 19 matching the through connection groove 16 is formed at the lower end of the adjusting screw 7. The convex part 19 is arranged in the through connection groove 16 to realize the fixation of the adjusting screw and the upper jaw.
[0027] In addition, to prevent the waterproof ring from flying out after falling off under high-speed rotation, a protective cover 17 is further included. Fixed blocks 18 are arranged diagonally at the top of the chassis 1, and the protective cover 18 is movably clamped inside the fixed blocks 18. The protective cover is preferably made of a transparent material for easy observation.
[0028] Meanwhile, the fixed block 18 is of an inverted concave structure, and a sensor (not shown in the figure) for detecting the protective cover is arranged below one of the fixed blocks 18.
