Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connector testing technology, and in particular to a connector insertion and removal testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors typically consist of male and female connectors, which are used to mate and transmit information or current. During connector manufacturing, to verify product quality, two independent clamps are usually used to hold the male and female connectors for mating tests. These tests typically include testing the number of mating cycles and the mating force. Since the connector has mounting holes for screws on opposite sides, screws are generally used to secure the connector during mating tests.

[0003] However, traditional connector mating and extraction testing devices have the following problems: 1. For connectors of different sizes, the spacing between the mounting holes on opposite sides of the connector is different. When testing the number of mating and extraction cycles, traditional fixtures can only fix connectors of specific sizes. When testing connectors of different sizes, different fixtures need to be changed, which increases testing costs and reduces testing efficiency; 2. When testing mating and extraction force, traditional connector mating and extraction testing devices generally measure the mating and extraction force data of the connector through pressure sensors. The obtained mating and extraction force data is relatively simple, resulting in low accuracy of test results. Utility Model Content

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The connector insertion and removal testing apparatus according to an embodiment of this application includes a frame 100, a first clamp, a second clamp, and a drive mechanism.

[0043] Specifically, the first clamp is used to fix the female connector a. The first clamp includes a first bracket 210 and two first connecting parts 220, which are respectively used to cooperate with the mounting holes on both sides of the female connector a to fix the female connector a. That is, one first connecting part 220 is used to cooperate with the mounting hole on one side of the female connector a to fix the female connector a, and the other first connecting part 220 is used to cooperate with the mounting hole on the other side of the female connector a to fix the female connector a. The first bracket 210 is fixedly mounted on the frame 100. The two first connecting parts 220 are movably mounted on the first bracket 210 and can move towards or away from the first bracket 210. An unlockable first locking structure is provided between the first connecting parts 220 and the first bracket 210 to restrict the movement of the first connecting parts 220 relative to the first bracket 210. The second clamp is used to fix the male connector b. The second clamp includes a second bracket 310 and... Two second connecting portions 320 are respectively used to mate with mounting holes on both sides of the male connector b to fix the male connector b. That is, one second connecting portion 320 is used to mate with the mounting hole on one side of the male connector b to fix the male connector b, and the other second connecting portion 320 is used to mate with the mounting hole on the other side of the male connector b to fix the male connector b. The second bracket 310 is movably disposed on the frame 100 and can move relative to the frame 100 toward or away from the first bracket 210. The two second connecting portions 320 are movably disposed on the second bracket 310 and can move toward or away from the second bracket 310. An unlockable second locking structure is provided between the second connecting portion 320 and the second bracket 310. The second locking structure is used to restrict the movement of the second connecting portion 320 relative to the second bracket 310. The driving mechanism is used to drive the second bracket 310 to move relative to the frame 100 toward or away from the first bracket 210.

[0044] During the mating and extraction cycle test, one of the first connecting parts 220 is used to mate with a mounting hole on one side of the female connector a to fix the female connector a, and the other first connecting part 220 is used to mate with a mounting hole on the other side of the female connector a to fix the female connector a. Simultaneously, one of the second connecting parts 320 is used to mate with a mounting hole on one side of the male connector b to fix the male connector b, and the other second connecting part 320 is used to mate with a mounting hole on the other side of the male connector b to fix the male connector b. For connectors of different sizes, the spacing between the two first connecting parts 220 can be adjusted to accommodate female connectors of different sizes, and the spacing between the two second connecting parts 320 can be adjusted to accommodate male connectors of different sizes. Compared to traditional connector mating and extraction testing devices, the connector mating and extraction testing device of this embodiment can adapt to connectors of different sizes without changing the fixture when performing the mating and extraction cycle test, which helps to reduce testing costs and improve testing efficiency.

[0045] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two first connecting parts 220, the first locking structure is released and the first connecting part 220 is moved relative to the first bracket 210 to the corresponding position. Then, the first connecting part 220 is relocked by the first locking structure. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two second connecting parts 320, the second locking structure is released and the second connecting part 320 is moved relative to the second bracket 310 to the corresponding position. Then, the second connecting part 320 is relocked by the second locking structure.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 220 is disposed on the side of the first bracket 210 facing away from the second bracket 310. The first bracket 210 is provided with a first clearance opening 211 for avoiding the female connector a, thereby preventing the first connecting portion 220 and the first locking structure from obstructing the insertion and removal process of the male connector b and the female connector a. The second connecting portion 320 is disposed on the side of the second bracket 310 facing away from the first bracket 210. The second bracket 310 is provided with a second clearance opening 311 for avoiding the male connector b, thereby preventing the second connecting portion 320 and the second locking structure from obstructing the insertion and removal process of the male connector b and the female connector a.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connector insertion and removal testing apparatus further includes an insertion and removal force testing mechanism for testing the insertion and removal force between the male connector b and the female connector a.

[0048] Reference Figure 7In some embodiments, the insertion / extraction force testing mechanism includes a first pressure sensor 410 and a first fixing part 420 detachably disposed on the first connecting part 220. The first pressure sensor 410 is disposed on the side of the first fixing part 420 facing the second bracket 310. A first guide post 430 is movably disposed on the first fixing part 420. A first limiting part for preventing detachment is provided at the end of the first guide post 430 away from the second bracket 310. A second fixing part 440 for fixing the female connector a is provided at the end of the first guide post 430 away from the first limiting part. A first spring 450 is sleeved on the first guide post 430. One end of the first spring 450 acts on the first fixing part 420, and the other end of the first spring 450 acts on the second fixing part 440, so that there is a preset distance between the first pressure sensor 410 and the second fixing part 440 or the female connector a fixed by the second fixing part 440. The first pressure sensor 410 is used to measure the force required when the male connector b and the female connector a are inserted and mated.

[0049] During use, the male connector b and female connector a may not be perfectly aligned when they are plugged in. Therefore, conventional male connector b and female connector a have a built-in floating function. Moreover, the end of the plug portion of the male connector b has a guide slope, which allows the male connector b and female connector a to adapt to the situation of incomplete alignment when they are plugged in, that is, to automatically correct the misalignment. However, when the female connector a is corrected by the guide slope at the end of the plug portion of the male connector b, the female connector a will be subjected to force. If the first pressure sensor 410 is always in contact with the second fixing part 440 or the female connector a fixed by the second fixing part 440, the first pressure sensor 410 will be subjected to force and generate data during the above-mentioned automatic correction of misalignment, thereby interfering with the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0050] Therefore, in this application, the female connector a is made movable. In this case, the female connector a can be subjected to force and displaced during the above-mentioned automatic correction of misalignment. A first spring 450 is provided for this displacement of the female connector a so that the first pressure sensor 410 and the second fixing part 440 or the female connector a fixed by the second fixing part 440 remain separated before the female connector a completes this displacement. After the misalignment is corrected, the first pressure sensor 410 comes into contact with the second fixing part 440 or the female connector a fixed by the second fixing part 440, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0051] In practice, the first pressure sensor 410 can be used to measure by directly contacting the female connector a. In this case, the first spring 450 is used to maintain a preset distance between the first pressure sensor 410 and the female connector a fixed by the second fixing part 440. The second fixing part 440 is provided with a third clearance port 441 for avoiding the pressure sensor. Alternatively, the first pressure sensor 410 can be used to measure by directly contacting the second fixing part 440. In this case, the first spring 450 is used to maintain a preset distance between the first pressure sensor 410 and the second fixing part 440.

[0052] It should be noted that the elastic force of the first spring 450 is less than the force required when the male connector b and the female connector a are plugged into each other, so that the second fixing part 440 and the female connector a fixed by the second fixing part 440 can be subjected to force and overcome the elastic force of the first spring 450 to generate displacement during the above-mentioned automatic correction of poor alignment relationship.

[0053] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second fixing part 440 is provided with a detachable mounting part 460, which is used to cooperate with the mounting holes on both sides of the female connector a to fix the female connector a. Multiple mounting parts 460 of different sizes are configured for female connectors a of different sizes, and all mounting parts 460 of different sizes can be connected to the second fixing part 440.

[0054] Specifically, the second fixing part 440, the mounting part 460, and the female connector a are connected by screws. That is, the second fixing part 440 is provided with threaded connection holes for mounting screws. The mounting parts 460 of different sizes are provided with fixing holes for mounting screws to mate with the threaded connection holes on the second fixing part 440. The mounting parts 460 are provided with threaded connection holes for mounting screws to mate with the mounting holes on both sides of the female connector a. The spacing of the threaded connection holes on the mounting parts 460 of different sizes is different to accommodate female connectors a of different sizes.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 When the first pressure sensor 410 measures by directly contacting the female connector a, the mounting part 460 is provided with a fourth clearance port 461 for avoiding the pressure sensor.

[0056] Reference Figure 7In some embodiments, the insertion / extraction force testing mechanism further includes a second pressure sensor 510. A third bracket 520 is provided on the frame 100. The third bracket 520 is located on the side of the second bracket 310 facing away from the first bracket 210. A second guide post 530 is movably inserted through the third bracket 520. A second limiting part for preventing dislodgement is provided at the end of the second guide post 530 away from the first bracket 210. A third fixing part 540 is provided at the end of the second guide post 530 away from the second limiting part. The second pressure sensor 510 is located on the side of the third fixing part 540 facing the first bracket 210. A second spring 550 is sleeved on the second guide post 530. One end of the second spring 550 acts on the third bracket 520, and the other end of the second spring 550 acts on the third fixing part 540, so that the second pressure sensor 510 is always in contact with the second connecting part 320 or the male connector b. During the process of pulling out the male connector b, it is beneficial to ensure the accuracy of the data measured by the second pressure sensor 510. The second pressure sensor 510 is used to measure the force required to pull the male connector b out of the female connector a.

[0057] In practice, the second pressure sensor 510 can be used to measure by directly contacting the male connector b. In this case, the second spring 550 is used to keep the second pressure sensor 510 in contact with the male connector b at all times. Alternatively, the second pressure sensor 510 can be used to measure by directly contacting the second connection part 320. In this case, the second spring 550 is used to keep the second pressure sensor 510 in contact with the second connection part 320 at all times.

[0058] It should be noted that the elastic force of the second spring 550 is greater than the force required to pull the male connector b from the female connector a, thereby improving the accuracy of the data measured by the second pressure sensor 510.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the male connector b and the female connector a are plugged in, the compression of the second spring 550 is exactly zero. At this time, the second pressure sensor 510 is not under force. Based on this, when the male connector b is pulled out, the second pressure sensor 510 can directly measure the required data.

[0060] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, when the male connector b and the female connector a are plugged in, the second spring 550 can also be in a compressed state. At this time, the second pressure sensor 510 is subjected to force and measures data. Based on this, when the male connector b is pulled out, the value of the data measured by the second pressure sensor 510 changes, and the amount of change in the value of the data measured by the second pressure sensor 510 is the required data.

[0061] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7In some embodiments, a first connecting block 221 is provided on the first connecting part 220, and the first connecting block 221 is used to connect the female connector a or the first fixing part 420.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a second connecting block 321 is provided on the second connecting portion 320, and the second connecting block 321 is used to connect the male connector b.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the connector insertion / removal testing device further includes a push-pull force gauge (not shown in the figure). The push-pull force gauge is mounted on the frame 100. A third connecting part 312 is provided on the second bracket 310. The push-pull force gauge is arranged along the moving direction of the second bracket 310 and has a telescopic end for measuring force. The telescopic end of the push-pull force gauge for measuring force is connected to the third connecting part 312. The push-pull force gauge can also test the insertion / removal force of the male connector b and the female connector a. After the test is completed, the data measured by the push-pull force gauge can be compared with the data measured by the first pressure sensor 410 and the second pressure sensor 510 to determine whether the measured data is accurate.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a first guide rail 212 is provided on the first bracket 210 corresponding to the first connecting part 220, and a first slider 222 is provided on the first connecting part 222 that is slidably connected to the first guide rail 212.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the first locking structure includes a first screw 600, and a first threaded hole is provided on the first connecting part 220 corresponding to the first screw 600. The first threaded hole passes through the first connecting part 220 and faces the first bracket 210. The first screw 600 is threaded to the first threaded hole so that the end of the first screw 600 can abut against the first bracket 210 to restrict the movement of the first connecting part 220 relative to the first bracket 210. Its structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second locking structure includes a second screw 700, and a second threaded hole is provided on the second connecting part 320 corresponding to the second screw 700. The second threaded hole passes through the second connecting part 320 and faces the second bracket 310. The second screw 700 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole so that the end of the second screw 700 can abut against the second bracket 310 to restrict the movement of the second connecting part 320 relative to the second bracket 310. Its structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0068] Reference Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments, the first screw 600 is provided with a first handle 610 for turning the first screw 600, so that the first screw 600 can be turned without the aid of external tools, so as to quickly release the lock of the first locking structure or quickly lock the first connecting part 220 through the first locking structure. The second screw 700 is provided with a second handle 710 for turning the second screw 700, so that the second screw 700 can be turned without the aid of external tools, so as to quickly release the lock of the second locking structure or quickly lock the second connecting part 320 through the second locking structure.

[0069] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a servo motor 810 and a lead screw assembly 820. A third guide rail 110 is provided on the frame 100 corresponding to the second bracket 310. A third slider 314 is slidably connected to the third guide rail 110 on the second bracket 310. The servo motor 810 is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to drive the screw of the lead screw assembly 820 to rotate, thereby causing the nut of the lead screw assembly 820 to move along the screw of the lead screw assembly 820. The nut of the lead screw assembly 820 is connected to the second bracket 310. Its structure is simple and easy to implement. The insertion and removal forces of the male connector b and the female connector a can also be calculated using the torque mode of the servo motor 810. After the test is completed, the data measured by the push-pull force gauge, the data measured by the first pressure sensor 410 and the second pressure sensor 510, and the data fed back by the torque mode of the servo motor 810 are compared, and the median value is taken, which helps to improve the accuracy of the test results.

[0070] Specifically, the servo motor 810 drives the screw of the lead screw assembly 820 to rotate through the synchronous belt transmission assembly. Of course, the servo motor 810 can also drive the screw of the lead screw assembly 820 to rotate through the gear transmission assembly or the coupling, which is not limited here.
