Description

Technical Field

[0001] This technical solution mainly involves EMU technology-related fields, especially the field of EMU maintenance operations. Background Art

[0002] High-speed train sensors monitor various operating parameters, such as axle and axlebox temperatures and wheel speeds, to ensure proper operation. Sensor connector pin status testing involves verifying the installation status and retention force of the connecting pins within the sensor terminals. This process requires removing the terminals and individually verifying whether the pins are properly installed, whether the retention force meets the specified value, and whether any pins are loose or locked. Currently, on-site operators manually press the pins within the terminals, relying on touch and experience to determine whether any pins are loose, which can lead to loose connections or disconnections during operation. This primitive and inefficient method cannot guarantee that each pin is pressed firmly and evenly, nor can it accurately determine whether the pressure meets the specified retention force. This creates the risk of missed detections and false detections, potentially leading to sensor malfunction and potentially posing a safety hazard to EMU trains. Existing testing technologies are primarily used on assembly lines and in laboratories, making them unsuitable for use in production environments. Furthermore, they cannot accurately measure pin retention force and provide a reliable criterion for determining whether the pins are loose.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more efficient and accurate test tool that can intuitively reflect the actual installation status and stress conditions of each pin, so as to accurately and quickly determine whether the specified installation requirements are met, improve detection efficiency, and ensure that various safety risks caused by missed inspections and missed repairs are avoided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] Example 1: Figure 1-4 As shown, a high-speed EMU electrical connector pin status detection device includes a test unit 01, a test connector 02, a human-machine interaction and control module 03 and a box 04; wherein the test unit 01 and the human-machine interaction and control module 03 are installed inside the box 04; the test connector 02 is installed on the test unit 01, and the modular design of the test connector can be quickly replaced.

[0018] The test unit 01 includes a test connector 02, a push rod 05, a tested connector fixing seat 06, a base 07, and a linear bearing 08; the test connector 02 is fixed to the linear bearing 08 through a bracket and can slide linearly along the bearing 08, and one end is connected to the push rod 05; the other end of the push rod 05 is connected to the base 07, and the push rod 05 is used to provide power to push the test connector 02 to press against the tested electrical connector; the tested connector fixing seat 06 and the linear bearing 08 are both fixed on the base 07.

[0019] The test connector 02 includes a test plug 09, a middle connection 10, a tail connection base 11, a sensor base 12, a thin film pressure sensor 13, a pressure needle 14, a spring 15, and a probe 16; wherein the test plug 09, the middle connection 10 and the tail connection base 11 are connected in sequence by bolts; the test plug 09 corresponds to the shape of the electrical connector to be tested, and is provided with holes corresponding to the pins in the electrical connector to be tested, and the pressure needle 14, the spring 15, and the probe 16 are installed in sequence and can slide; the sensor base 12 is installed in the tail connection base 11; the thin film pressure sensor 13 is installed on the sensor base 12, and the pressure needle 14 just presses the thin film pressure sensor 13.

[0020] The human-machine interaction and control module 03 is used to drive the push rod motor 05, collect data returned by the film pressure sensor 13 and display it on the touch screen, and start and stop the detection process according to the operator's operation of the touch screen.

[0021] The working contents of the high-speed train electrical connector pin status detection device include: 1. Electrical connector pin status detection.

[0022] Electrical connector pin status detection: The operator first installs the electrical connector to be tested on the tested connector fixing seat 06, and selects the corresponding plug shape on the touch screen of the human-computer interaction and control module 03, and presses the start button to start the test. Figure 5 In the test process shown, the device first determines whether the test connector 02 in the test unit 01 has returned to zero. If not, it drives the push rod 05 to retract, returning the connector 02 to its original position. The push rod 05 is then extended, causing the test connector 02 to press against the electrical connector under test. The internal probe 16 squeezes against the pins within the connector, while the spring 15 compresses. The pressure pin 14 applies the spring pressure to the thin film pressure sensor 13. The human-computer interaction and control module 03 collects the various squeezing pressures and determines whether they have reached a reasonable value. If so, the electrical connector under test passes. If not, it then determines whether any pins have reached the maximum reasonable pressure. If so, the test ends and the electrical connector under test fails, indicating a pin retraction. If not, there is a problem with the installation. The push rod 05 is then driven to retract, returning the test connector 02 to zero, and the test ends.
