Obviously, the specific embodiments described are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1-2As shown, this utility model provides an OBD plug insertion / removal detection device for automating the insertion / removal detection of OBD plugs and compatible OBD ports. The OBD plug insertion / removal detection device includes a detection frame 1, a fixing component 2, a plug / removal device 3, and a clamp 4. The fixing component 2 is provided on the bottom surface of the detection frame 1. The plug / removal device 3 is vertically fixed on the detection frame 1, with its output end facing downwards and fixedly connected to a clamp 4 for holding and fixing the OBD plug. The plug / removal device 3 includes a cylinder 31, a magnetic switch 32, a solenoid valve 33, and a controller 34. Magnetic switches 32 for feedback of cylinder piston position information are provided on the outer sides of both ends of the cylinder 31. The air inlet of the solenoid valve 33 is connected to an air supply unit 35 via an air inlet pipe. The two air supply ends are connected to the DC valves 31a on both ends of the cylinder 31 via air supply pipes. The magnetic switch 32 and the solenoid valve 33 are electrically connected to the input and output ends of the controller 34, respectively. When the cylinder piston moves to both ends, the corresponding magnetic switch is triggered. The magnetic switch will feed back the piston position information to the controller in real time. The controller can then control the solenoid valve to supply air to the cylinder in reverse, thereby realizing the cyclic insertion and removal motion. The specific positions of the magnetic switches on both ends of the cylinder can be adjusted according to the test requirements to change the distance of the cylinder's reciprocating motion, thereby adjusting the insertion or removal distance of the OBD plug. The speed of the cylinder's reciprocating motion can also be changed by adjusting the DC valve on the cylinder, thereby adjusting the insertion or removal speed of the OBD plug.

[0020] The fixing component 2 includes several magnetic bases 21 located on the bottom surface of the testing frame 1; the magnetism of the magnetic bases can be turned on or off by manually toggling a switch, so that they can be firmly attached to most of the flat and vertical surfaces of the metal workbench.

[0021] The solenoid valve 33 is powered by DC 24V. In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 33 is preferably a dual-electrically controlled two-position five-way solenoid valve, which has the advantages of precise control and fast response.

[0024] The OBD plug insertion and removal testing device provided by this utility model can realize automated reciprocating insertion and removal testing of OBD plugs, is easy to standardize and widely used; it reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves testing efficiency, shortens the entire insertion and removal testing cycle, and ensures testing reliability.
