AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The contact pressure adjustment of existing potentiometers cannot be performed accurately, especially due to the fact that the first connection structure is blocked by the second connection structure and the central shaft tilts during rotation, which causes accuracy problems.

Method used

A potentiometer contact pressure testing fixture was designed, including a fixture housing and bearings. By limiting the swing angle of the center contact brush, the influence of gravity on the contact pressure value is reduced, ensuring that the contact pressure between the brush and the wire-wound resistor is not affected by the angle swing during rotation. The potentiometer housing under test is fixed by a double bearing structure and fastening screws.

Benefits of technology

This improves the accuracy of potentiometer contact pressure testing, ensuring that the contact pressure between the brush and the wire-wound resistor remains stable during rotation, thus avoiding test inaccuracies caused by central axis misalignment.

[0034] like Figure 1 This utility model provides a potentiometer contact pressure testing fixture, including: fixture housing 9 and first bearing 7;

[0035] The tooling housing 9 is barrel-shaped, with a mounting boss at the center of the bottom. A first bearing 7 is fixedly mounted at the center of the mounting boss, and the height of the mounting boss is less than the height of the tooling housing.

[0036] Above the tooling housing 9 is the potentiometer housing 5 to be measured, inside the potentiometer housing is a wire-wound resistor 4, and inside the central through hole of the potentiometer housing is a second bearing 3;

[0037] The potentiometer’s central shaft 1 is fitted with a first bearing and a second bearing. A brush 2 is connected to the central shaft of the potentiometer, and the brush contacts are in contact with the wire-wound resistor.

[0038] Optionally, the potentiometer contact pressure testing fixture also includes: a retaining ring 8;

[0039] The mounting boss is provided with a ring groove, and a clamping ring is clamped in the ring groove.

[0040] Optionally, a mounting groove is arranged on the upper end face of the tool shell, and the measured potentiometer shell is arranged in the mounting groove.

[0041] Optionally, a plurality of fixing holes are arranged in a circle of the mounting groove.

[0045] Optionally, the coaxiality of the inner and outer circles of the mounting boss of the tool shell is φ0.03, and the parallelism between the bottom of the mounting groove and the bottom of the tool shell is 0.03.

[0046] The working mode of the test tool is as follows: the center shaft 1, the brush 2, the second bearing 3, the wire-wound resistance 4 and the potentiometer shell 5 are assembled, that is, only the first connecting structure of the potentiometer is installed, the first connecting structure is installed on the tool shell 9, at this time, the center shaft 1 on the potentiometer assembly passes through the center of the first bearing 7 on the tool shell, and the radial swing of the center shaft is constrained due to the action of the double bearings.
