[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] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a quick power-on fixture for a clothes dryer, including an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are fixedly connected by multiple locking screws 3. Multiple probe assemblies 4 are provided between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. Two mounting grooves 5 are symmetrically opened on the upper side wall of the upper housing 1 and the lower side wall of the lower housing 2. Mounting shafts 6 are fixedly connected in both mounting grooves 5. Pressing plates 7 are rotatably sleeved on both mounting shafts 6. The same outer shell 8 is fixedly connected to the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. Two grooves 9 communicating with the mounting grooves 5 are symmetrically opened on the outer shell 8. Compression springs 10 are fixedly connected between the outer shell 8 and the pressing plates 7. Hooks 11 are fixedly connected to both pressing plates 7.
[0024] In the above embodiment, when powered on, the probe assembly 4 is connected to the power supply. Two fingers press the two pressing plates 7 to make the two hooks 11 lock onto the power terminal block. Releasing the two pressing plates 7 allows the compression spring 10 to reset the hooks 11, thus enabling the two hooks 11 to lock onto the power terminal block. The probe assembly 4 can then connect with the terminals in the power terminal block, thereby quickly powering on the dryer. After the test is completed, pressing the two pressing plates 7 again releases the hooks 11, allowing the fixture to be quickly removed. The operation is simple and convenient, effectively improving the convenience of powering on the dryer, increasing the testing efficiency on the dryer side, and allowing for repeated use, thus reducing testing costs.
[0025] The probe assembly 4 includes a first mounting tube 41 fixedly connected between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, a second mounting tube 42 fixedly connected between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, a first probe 43 movably inserted into the first mounting tube 41, a second probe 44 movably sleeved in the second mounting tube 42, a limiting plate 45 fixedly sleeved on the second probe 44, a return spring 46 movably sleeved outside the second probe 44, the return spring 46 being located between the limiting plate 45 and the lower housing 2, an arc-shaped metal elastic sheet 47 fixedly connected to the end of the first probe 43 away from the second probe 44, and a conductive wire 48 fixedly connected to the arc-shaped metal elastic sheet 47.
[0026] In this embodiment, after the power-on fixture is installed, the first probe 43 is squeezed and can contact the second probe 44 to be powered on, thereby enabling the terminal block of the dryer to be powered on by the power-on fixture. The probe assembly 4 adopts a segmented structure, which effectively improves the safety of the power-on fixture.
[0027] An anti-slip sheet 12 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 7. The anti-slip sheet 12 is made of insulating rubber, which can improve the anti-slip effect of the pressing plate 7 during use.
[0028] Positioning blocks 13 are fixedly connected to both the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The two positioning blocks 13 form a rectangular housing structure. The second probe 44 is located between the two positioning blocks 13, which can improve the accuracy and convenience of tooling installation.
[0029] The outer casing 8 is provided with a wire hole 14, through which the conductive wire 48 passes through the outer casing 8, which can improve the convenience of installing the conductive wire 48.
[0030] The outer shell 8 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 by a plurality of internal hexagon screws 15, which improves the structural stability of the tooling.
[0031] The hook 11 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 16 evenly distributed to prevent the hook 11 from slipping and to improve the stability of the tooling installation.
[0032] The anti-slip sheet 12 has multiple anti-slip patterns 17 evenly distributed on the side away from the pressing plate 7, which can improve the anti-slip performance of the anti-slip sheet 12.
[0033] Working principle: When powered on, connect the probe assembly 4 to the power supply. Press the two pressing plates 7 with two fingers, causing them to deflect around the two mounting shafts 6. This allows the two pressing plates 7 to open in a V-shape, which in turn opens the two hooks 11. Align the power-on fixture with the power terminal block of the dryer, and engage the two hooks 11 on the terminal block. Release the two pressing plates 7, and the compression spring 10 will reset the hooks 11, allowing them to remain engaged on the terminal block. The first probe 43, when compressed, will contact the second probe 44 to power on, thus energizing the dryer's terminal block and the power-on fixture. This completes the rapid power-on of the dryer. After testing, pressing the two pressing plates 7 releases the hooks 11, allowing the fixture to be quickly removed. The operation is simple and convenient, effectively improving the ease of powering on the dryer, increasing the testing efficiency of the dryer side, and allowing for repeated use, thus reducing testing costs.
[0034] The probe assembly 4 includes a first mounting tube 41 fixedly connected between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, a second mounting tube 42 fixedly connected between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, a first probe 43 movably inserted into the first mounting tube 41, a second probe 44 movably sleeved in the second mounting tube 42, a limiting plate 45 fixedly sleeved on the second probe 44, a return spring 46 movably sleeved outside the second probe 44, the return spring 46 being located between the limiting plate 45 and the lower housing 2, an arc-shaped metal elastic sheet 47 fixedly connected to the end of the first probe 43 away from the second probe 44, and a conductive wire 48 fixedly connected to the arc-shaped metal elastic sheet 47.
