[0005] The above test clamp reduces the pressure applied to the end of the capacitor during the fixing process of the clamp by arranging the buffer layer on one side of the top layer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-3 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-3 A capacitor life test fixture, comprising a clamping box 1 provided with an opening at one end, and a clamping structure arranged in the clamping box 1 for clamping and fixing the capacitor.

[0030] The connecting rods 10 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping box 1, and detection equipment is installed at the end of the connecting rod 10 away from the clamping box 1. After the capacitor is clamped and fixed, the user can detect the service life of the capacitor through the detection equipment.

[0031] The clamping structure comprises a plurality of first clamping holes 2 arranged opposite to each other on the upper and lower side walls of the clamping box 1, and a clamping plate 3 slidably connected inside the clamping box 1, wherein a plurality of second clamping holes 4 arranged opposite to the first clamping holes 2 are formed on the clamping plate 3.

[0032] Two accommodating grooves 6 are formed on the inner wall of the sealed end of the clamping box 1, and a spring 7 for applying a clamping force is embedded in each of the two accommodating grooves 6. One end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating groove 6, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 3.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the inner diameters of the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4 are greater than the diameter of the capacitor, and a buffer pad 5 in the form of a circular tube is attached to the inner walls of the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4. The inner diameters of the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4 are set to be larger, which facilitates clamping the capacitor through the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4 after the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4 are aligned. The buffer pad 5 is provided to protect the clamped part of the capacitor.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 , the length of the spring 7 is greater than the depth of the inner cavity of the spring 7, and the spring 7 is in a compressed state when the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4 are aligned. When the middle section of the capacitor is inserted through the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4, the spring 7 can push the clamping plate 3 in the direction of the open end of the clamping box 1 under the action of its own elastic force, causing the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4 to be misaligned, thereby clamping and fixing the capacitor from both sides through the side walls of the first clamping holes 2 and the second clamping holes 4.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a guide groove 8 is formed on the inner wall of each side of the clamping box 1, and a guide block 9 is formed on both sides of the clamping plate 3 and has a size that matches the inner cavity of the guide groove 8. The guide block 9 is embedded in the guide groove 8 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping box 1 through the guide groove 8. The guide groove 8 and the guide block 9 are provided to guide the clamping plate 3 and avoid deviation of the clamping plate 3 when it slides in the inner cavity of the clamping box 1.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 , the detection device comprises a bottom plate 11 fixedly connected to a connecting rod 10 below the clamping box 1, wherein a circuit board 12 corresponding to a capacitor detection circuit is embedded in the bottom of the bottom plate 11, and a plurality of lower electrically connected pipes 13 corresponding to the first clamping holes 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 11 and are electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The circuit board 12 is provided to detect the capacitor, and the lower electrically connected pipes 13 are provided to be sleeved on the lower end of the capacitor and electrically connected to the capacitor.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , the detection device further comprises a top plate 14 slidably connected to the connecting rods 10 above the clamping box 1, and a plurality of upper electrically connected pipes 15 corresponding to the lower electrically connected pipes 13 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate 14. The top plate 14 is provided for mounting the upper electrically connected pipes 15, and the plurality of upper electrically connected pipes 15 are connected in parallel. After the capacitor is fixed, the user can slide the top plate 14 downward to set the upper electrically connected pipes 15 on the top end of the capacitor to electrically connect with the capacitor.

[0038] Referring to Figure 3 , a screw ring 16 is screwed to each of the four connecting rods 10 between the top plate 14 and the clamping box 1, and a mobile power supply 18 is arranged on one side of the clamping box 1. The positive and negative electrodes of the mobile power supply 18 are electrically connected with power lines 17, and the two power lines 17 are electrically connected with the circuit board 12 and the upper electrically connected pipes 15, respectively. The power lines 17 and the mobile power supply 18 are provided for power supply during detection of the service life of the capacitor, and the screw ring 16 is provided for limiting the position of the top plate 14 to avoid the gravitational force of the top plate 14 acting on the end of the capacitor, which may cause the end of the capacitor to be damaged due to pressure.

[0039] The implementation principle of the present application is as follows: in use, first, slide the top plate 14 to a high position, and press the clamping plate 3 in the clamping box 1 until the second clamping hole 4 is opposite to the first clamping hole 2, at which time the spring 7 is in a compressed state. Then, the middle section of the capacitor to be detected is sequentially inserted through a plurality of aligned first clamping holes 2 and second clamping holes 4, so that the bottom end of the capacitor is inserted into the lower electrically connected pipe 13 and electrically connected with the lower electrically connected pipe 13, and the clamping plate 3 is released. At this time, the spring 7 pushes the clamping plate 3 in the direction of the opening end of the clamping box 1 under the action of its own elastic force, so that the first clamping hole 2 and the second clamping hole 4 tend to be misaligned, thereby clamping and fixing the capacitor from both sides through the side walls of the first clamping hole 2 and the second clamping hole 4. After the fixation is completed, the user slides the top plate 14 downward, so that the upper electrically connected pipes 15 mounted at the bottom of the top plate 14 are set on the top end of the capacitor to electrically connect with the capacitor, and together with the power lines 17 and the mobile power supply 18, form a loop for applying test voltage to the capacitor, so that the service life of the capacitor can be tested. Since the middle section of the capacitor is clamped and fixed by the side walls of the first clamping hole 2 and the second clamping hole 4 during detection, and the two ends of the capacitor are not subjected to clamping force, the problem that the traditional test fixture may exert a certain pressure on the two ends of the capacitor when fixing the capacitor is avoided, excessive pressure may cause the tinning layer of the end of the capacitor to be oxidized or detached at a faster rate, which reduces the solderability of the capacitor and affects the reliability of the capacitor.

[0040] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features thereof can be replaced equivalently. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
