Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test harness technology, and in particular to an EOL test harness for monitoring contact temperature rise in test equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A test harness is a wire harness used to test and verify the correctness and functionality of the connections of various electrical devices in a circuit system. It typically consists of a series of wires, connectors, and insulation materials used to transmit signals and power in automotive, electronic equipment, or other electrical systems. The primary purpose of a test harness is to ensure that the electrical connections of the system are secure, thereby guaranteeing the normal operation and safety of the equipment.
[0003] In the powertrain testing of some gasoline vehicles, EOL test harnesses are required. The EOL test harness is connected to a connector, which is then connected to the powertrain of the gasoline vehicle. However, during the testing process, if a poor contact occurs, an electric arc will be generated, producing high temperatures and potentially causing a fire. The entire heating process is difficult to monitor, so it is necessary to design an EOL test harness that can be used to monitor the contact temperature rise of the testing equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an EOL test harness for monitoring contact temperature rise in testing equipment, overcoming the deficiencies of existing technologies and effectively solving the problem of difficulty in monitoring the temperature rise process during the testing of EOL test harnesses.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An EOL test harness for monitoring contact temperature rise in testing equipment includes a connector housing, wherein symmetrically distributed electrode plates are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the connector housing, and a cable is fixedly connected to the other side of the inner wall of the connector housing. The outer wall of the cable is provided with an inner sheath, and the outer wall of the inner sheath is provided with a threaded tube.
[0007] The connector housing is equipped with a temperature rise monitoring mechanism, which includes a thermistor disposed inside the connector housing, symmetrically distributed terminals fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the thermistor, and lead wires fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the terminals.
[0008] Preferably, the electrode plate is composed of a terminal block and an electrode end, wherein the terminal block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector frame.
[0009] Preferably, a second terminal is welded to the outer wall of one end of the cable, and a fastening screw is fixedly connected between the first terminal and the second terminal.
[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the other side of the connector frame is equipped with symmetrically distributed sealing joints, and the cable passes through the inner wall where the sealing joints are provided.
[0011] Preferably, the connector frame has a partition plate on the bottom inner wall, and the thermistor is installed inside the partition plate.
[0012] Preferably, the thermistor is connected to a host computer via lead wires.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The EOL test harness designed for monitoring contact temperature rise of testing equipment has two layers of inner sheath and threaded tube added to the outside of the cable, which adds an extra protective structure, reduces wear during the back-and-forth testing process, improves the strength of the harness, and increases the service life of the EOL test harness.
[0015] 2. The EOL test harness designed in this experiment is used to monitor the contact temperature rise of the test equipment. In the temperature rise monitoring mechanism, a thermistor is installed near the terminal block, and the thermistor is connected to the host computer through a lead wire. Once a poor contact problem occurs during the test, a high temperature will be generated near terminal block one and terminal block two, which will be sensed by the thermistor. This allows for real-time monitoring of temperature changes and provides timely early warning, reducing the possibility of fire. Attached Figure Description
