Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-voltage connector airtightness testing technology, and in particular to a novel high-voltage connector airtightness testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] High-voltage connectors are used to connect the control unit and the battery in new energy vehicles. The current in the wiring harness is high and the voltage is high. If the airtightness of the high-voltage connector is not sufficient, it will lead to water leakage, short circuit, or even spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles.

[0003] When performing airtightness testing on high-voltage connectors, the airtightness of the high-voltage connectors mounted on the airtightness testing fixture must first be tested. Then, the fixture is vibrated to simulate the vibration during vehicle operation, and the airtightness of the high-voltage connectors is tested again.

[0004] Automotive high-voltage wiring harnesses typically include wire-end connectors and board-end connectors that interlock with each other. In existing technologies, when performing airtightness testing on automotive high-voltage wiring harness assemblies, the wire-end connectors are usually mounted on a fixture used for airtightness testing (such as existing fixtures). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the fixture is connected to the airtightness testing equipment to perform airtightness testing on the wire end connector. However, the board end connector cannot be installed on the fixture as well, so it is impossible to simulate the state after the wire end connector and the board end connector are plugged in. This means that when the fixture vibrates with the wiring harness assembly, the interaction and wear state of the board end and wire end connectors during the vibration test cannot be reflected during the retest of airtightness, which has a certain impact on the retest results of airtightness.

[0013] Furthermore, two limiting posts are fixed on the side of the tooling housing away from the tooling cover plate to limit the movement of the wire connector on both sides.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the ring body and the limiting post enhances the fixing effect on the wire end connector and enhances the stability of the wire end connector during the airtightness test.

[0015] Furthermore, an annular stepped groove for engaging with the annular rubber ring on the wire connector is provided at the intersection between the inner wall of the ring and the side wall of the ring away from the tooling cover plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the annular stepped groove design enables the annular rubber ring on the wire connector to maintain a tight seal between the connection and the tooling housing.

[0017] Furthermore, the airtight equipment connecting pipe is located on the side of the tooling cover plate away from the tooling housing, and is located at the center of the tooling cover plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution,
