They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0020] Implementation method 1: such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the crimping test device for electrical connector processing includes a test box 1 for preventing the electrical connector under test from being crimped, a test voltage source 2 and an RLC load 3 forming a detection circuit with the test box 1. The test box 1 has a door 11 on the front, a pull test platform 12 at the bottom inside the test box 1, a heating tube 13 and an atomizing nozzle 14 installed on the inner wall of the test box 1, and a temperature and humidity sensor 15 installed on the side wall of the test box 1. The pull test platform 12 is provided with at least one set of test components. Each set of test components includes a clamp 121 fixed on both sides of the pull test platform 12 and a stranded wire motor 122. A first test wire 123 is clamped and fixed on the clamp 121, and a second test wire 124 is wound and fixed on the output shaft of the stranded wire motor 122. A torque sensor 125 is provided on the output shaft of the stranded wire motor 122. The outer ends of the first and second test wires are respectively connected to the test voltage source 2 and the RLC load 3, and the inner ends of the first and second test wires are used for electrical connection by the electrical connector under test.

[0021] Implementation Method 2: The test chamber 1 of this crimping test device for electrical connector processing is equipped with a water supply tank 16, a temperature controller 17, and a central controller 18. The input terminal of the central controller 18 is connected to the temperature and humidity sensor 15 and the torque sensor 125, and the output terminal of the central controller 18 is connected to the water pump of the water supply tank 16 and the control terminal of the temperature controller 17, respectively. The central controller sets the temperature and humidity threshold of the chamber environment and controls the temperature controller to execute the heating tube heating and the water pump body of the water supply tank to supply water to the atomizing nozzle. During the experiment, it starts and stops in accordance with the feedback signal of the temperature and humidity sensor to provide the required ambient temperature and humidity for the test before the test. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation Method 1 and will not be described again.

[0022] Implementation Method 3: The pull test bench 12 of this crimping test device for electrical connector processing is equipped with an insulating baffle 19. This baffle separates the inner ends of the first and second test leads during non-testing periods, ensuring they are in an open-circuit state. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation Method 1 and will not be repeated.

[0023] Implementation Method 4: This crimping test device for electrical connector processing also includes a protection component 4. The protection component 4 is connected in series with a sampling module 41 and an isolating switch 42 in the detection circuit. The sampling module 41 and the isolating switch 42 are respectively connected to the input and output terminals of the central controller. When overcurrent or overvoltage occurs in the detection circuit of the sampling module, or when the temperature sensor detects an overtemperature signal from the RLC load, the central controller outputs a signal to the isolating switch, which then disconnects the test circuit, protecting the voltage source, load, and other equipment. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation Method 1 and will not be described again.

[0024] Implementation Method 5: The central controller of this crimping test device for electrical connector processing adopts an STM32F405R processing chip as its core; the sampling module 41 adopts a DAQM4206 voltage / current analog signal acquisition board, and the isolating switch 42 adopts an ACB13202 relay switch. In addition to the STM32F405R processing chip, the central controller also includes an A / D conversion module for converting analog input signals such as torque, temperature, humidity, voltage, and current into digital signals and displaying them on a display device; a wireless data transmission module for real-time data upload to a host computer or handheld terminal; and a storage module. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation Method 1 and will not be repeated.

[0025] In use: Use the connectors under test to crimp the inner ends of the first and second test leads in each test assembly on the pull test bench. After closing the test chamber door, heat and humidify to the experimental temperature and humidity. Start the test voltage source to supply power. After the power supply is stable, start the stranded wire motor to tension and pull the first and second test leads until the sampling module collects the voltage loss of the line. Measure whether the maximum tensile force that the connector crimping can withstand meets the tensile crimping standard. For test groups where the line does not lose power after meeting the standard tensile force, the stranded wire motor can be turned off, and the temperature and humidity inside the chamber can be increased to conduct durability performance tests under harsh conditions.

[0026] This crimping test device for electrical connectors can test the tensile strength and durability of crimped electrical connectors under pressure conditions, as well as their durability under various environmental conditions. The device itself has comprehensive protection functions and is especially suitable for the complete testing of the complex and practical performance of high-quality electrical connectors.
