Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gas sensor production and testing technology, and in particular relates to a fixture for aging detection of nitrogen and oxygen sensor wiring harnesses. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NO) x Nitrogen oxides (NO) are a mixture of NO and NO2, and are one of the most environmentally harmful exhaust gases emitted by automobile engines. In my country's automobile exhaust emission limits, nitrogen oxides are listed as a key exhaust emission limit target.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream technology for controlling nitrogen oxide emissions from engine exhaust (including gasoline and diesel engines) is the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. The principle behind this technology is that the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) controls the urea spraying unit to spray a urea solution into the exhaust pipe. At exhaust temperatures, the urea undergoes pyrolysis and hydrolysis to release ammonia. The ammonia then reacts with nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas in the SCR catalyst, regenerating N2 and H2O, thus reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from the engine.

[0004] As one of the most critical components of the SCR aftertreatment system, the automotive nitrogen oxide sensor detects the nitrogen oxide concentration in the exhaust gas during engine operation, ensuring that nitrogen oxide emissions are within regulatory limits. It then transmits the detection data in real-time to the vehicle's ECU via the CAN bus. x The accuracy, sensitivity, and stability of gas concentration have high performance and precision requirements, directly affecting the NOx content in vehicle exhaust emissions. With increasingly stringent emission regulations, the demand for NOx sensors in vehicles is growing rapidly. NOx sensor products consist of a wiring harness assembly (including probes and cables) and a controller. Before the wiring harness assembly is assembled with the controller, the probe needs to undergo aging treatment to ensure that oxides on the NOx chip are largely removed and the electrochemical reaction stabilizes, thus optimizing the sensor's performance. Currently, NOx sensor probes typically use spring-loaded probes for aging testing, resulting in poor connection stability. Alternatively, the plug is directly soldered to the circuit board, meaning that if the wiring harness malfunctions, the circuit board is also scrapped, wasting raw materials and increasing production costs. Therefore, a fixture for aging testing of NOx sensor wiring harnesses is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a fixing fixture for aging detection of nitrogen and oxygen sensor wire harnesses.

[0012] Preferably, the base has several positioning holes, which are fixed to the aging test equipment by positioning pins.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects: the wire harness plug is placed in the placement slot, and then the fixing component is used to connect the connector to the wire harness plug.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a fixing fixture for aging detection of nitrogen and oxygen sensor wire harnesses, including a base 1. At least one set of placement components are fixedly installed on the base 1. The placement components include a placement plate 3 fixedly connected to the base 1. A placement groove 4 is opened in the placement plate 3. A wire harness plug 2 is placed in the placement groove 4 and is adapted to the wire harness plug 2. A fixing component is fixedly connected to the placement component. The fixing component is plugged into the wire harness plug 2 through a connector. The connector is electrically connected to an aging detection device.

[0025] Place the wire harness plug 2 into the placement slot 4, and then use the fixing component to connect the connector to the wire harness plug 2. The placement slot 4 and the fixing component can limit the horizontal and vertical direction of the wire harness plug 2, further enhancing the positioning effect of the wire harness plug 2 and avoiding the shaking problem that may occur during subsequent aging tests.

[0026] Further optimization of the design includes a bracket 5 fixed to the base 1. A limiting groove 6 is provided inside the bracket 5, and a placement plate 3 is fixed to one end of the limiting groove 6 near the base 1. A fixing component is fixed inside the bracket. The limiting groove 6 is used to limit the placement plate 3 and the connector, facilitating their connection and subsequent horizontal and vertical limiting of the wire harness plug 2.

[0027] The design is further optimized by including a push-pull quick clip 7 fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 5, with a connector fixedly connected to the moving end of the push-pull quick clip 7. The push-pull quick clip 7 can move along with the connector and subsequently connect to the wire harness plug 2, ensuring the wire harness plug 2 is securely fixed.

[0028] Further optimizing the design, the push-pull quick clamp 7 includes a positioning seat 14 fixedly connected to the bracket 5. A handle 16 is hinged to the positioning seat 14. A movable connecting rod 17 is hinged inside the handle 16. A clamping piston 18 is hinged to the movable connecting rod 17. A bolt 19 is threadedly connected to the clamping piston 18. A limit ring 20 is fixedly connected to the positioning seat 14. The clamping piston 18 is sleeved inside the limit ring 20. A nut 21 is provided at the end of the clamping piston 18 away from the movable connecting rod 17. The nut 21 is threadedly connected to the bolt 19. A connector is fixedly connected to the end of the bolt 19 away from the clamping piston 18. The positioning seat 14 can be fixedly installed with the bracket 5. The handle 16 can be used to operate the movable connecting rod 17. The limit ring 20 can move the clamping piston 18 in the vertical direction without deviation. The length of the bolt 19 entering the clamping piston 18 can be adjusted, and then it is fixed by the nut 21. This can meet the clamping requirements of different heights. Finally, rotating the handle 16 can move the bolt 19 with the connecting piece.

[0029] The design is further optimized. The connector includes a mating plug 8 fixed to bolt 19. The mating plug 8 is inserted into the wire harness plug 2. The mating plug 8 is connected to a quick-connect terminal 10 via a wire 9. The quick-connect terminal 10 is fixed to the rear end of the bracket 5 and is connected to the aging test equipment. The mating plug 8 can be inserted into the wire harness plug 2, which serves two purposes: positioning it and allowing it to be connected to the quick-connect terminal 10 for aging test.

[0030] In a further optimized design, grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the limiting groove 6, and protrusions 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the plug-in 8. The grooves 11 are slidably connected to the protrusions 12. The grooves 11 can be slidably connected to the protrusions 12, which can limit the plug-in 8 and prevent it from tilting.

[0031] To further optimize the design, the base 1 is provided with several positioning holes 13, which are fixed to the aging test equipment via positioning pins. The positioning holes 13 allow the entire device to be installed with the aging test equipment.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] Place the wire harness plug 2 into the placement slot 4, then turn the handle 16 so that the bolt 19, along with the plug 8, is inserted into the wire harness plug 2. After insertion, the wire harness plug 2 can be connected to the aging test equipment through the quick-connect terminal 10 to perform aging test on the probe of the nitrogen and oxygen sensor.
