Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tensile testing technology, specifically to a tensile testing fixture for automotive wiring harnesses. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are components that connect circuits by crimping copper contact terminals (connectors) to wires and cables, then molding an insulator or adding an outer metal shell, and bundling the wires together. They mainly consist of cables, sheathing materials, and connectors (terminals).
[0003] The main purpose of automotive wiring harness tensile testing is to apply gradually increasing tensile force to the terminals using a tensile testing machine until the terminals detach from the wiring harness. This measures the strength of the connection between the terminals and the wiring harness and the maximum force required for detachment. This helps ensure that the wiring harness can withstand the expected mechanical stress during vehicle use, thereby maintaining the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0004] For example, patent CN220455029U discloses a wire harness tensile testing fixture. This patent connects the folded part of the automotive wire harness to a hook, and the two ends of the automotive wire harness are clamped and fixed. Through the operation of a motor, the rotating shaft can drive the connecting plate to move up and down, adjusting the tensile distance of the automotive wire harness. By adjusting the rotation speed of the rotating shaft, the tensile speed can be adjusted, thereby enabling tensile performance testing of the automotive wire harness at different tensile speeds and different tensile distances. Furthermore, the highest tensile point of the automotive wire harness can be visually viewed through a force measuring instrument.
[0005] Typically, when performing tensile tests on automotive wiring harnesses, the harness is stretched directly. This testing method and the scenarios it addresses are relatively simple. When a car is in motion, it encounters bumpy roads, sharp turns, acceleration, and deceleration. These dynamic changes cause the relative positions of various vehicle components to change, thereby generating tensile forces on the wiring harness. These tensile forces may come from different directions, so it is necessary to perform multi-angle tensile tests on the wiring harness. If only a single test is performed, it is impossible to fully understand the performance of the wiring harness under different stress conditions, and it is impossible to make a comprehensive and accurate assessment of its performance.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tensile testing fixture for automotive wiring harnesses to solve the above problems.
[0007] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Furthermore, the tensioning mechanism includes two sets of screws rotatably disposed inside the frame, with sprockets fixedly disposed at the bottom end of each screw, and a chain drivingly connecting the two sets of sprockets.

[0022] Furthermore, an adjustment component is fixedly installed at the lower end of the frame, and multiple sets of threaded holes are opened on the arc plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application provides a tensile testing fixture for automotive wiring harnesses, including a frame 2 and a protective shell 1 hinged to the outside of the frame 2. The protective shell 1 is transparent so that the tensile condition can be observed while providing a certain degree of safety protection. In order to smoothly perform tensile operations on automotive wiring harnesses, a tensile mechanism 3 is provided inside the frame 2.
[0037] The tensioning mechanism 3 includes two sets of screws 34 rotatably disposed inside the frame 2. A sprocket 31 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the screws 34, and a chain 32 is connected between the two sets of sprockets 31. A motor 30 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of one set of screws 34, and the output end of the motor 30 is fixedly connected to one set of screws 34, so that the motor 30 can be started to drive the two sets of screws 34 to rotate inside the protective shell 1 through the two sets of sprockets 31 and the chain 32.
[0038] Meanwhile, a fixing plate 35 is threadedly connected to the two sets of screws 34, so that the fixing plate 35 can move vertically up and down under the rotation of the two sets of screws 34. A sensor 36 is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixing plate 35, and a fixing part 37 is fixedly installed at one end of the sensor 36. The fixing part 37 has a mounting groove (not shown in the figure) for inserting one end of the automotive wiring harness, so that subsequent tensile tests can be carried out smoothly.
[0039] like Figures 1-3As shown, in order to simulate the stretching state of the car wiring harness under different driving conditions, and thus achieve the stretching test of the car wiring harness at different angles, an adjustment component 38 is provided at the lower end of the frame 2 below the fixing part 37. The adjustment component 38 includes a transmission unit 380 provided at the lower end of the frame 2. The transmission unit 380 adopts a screw transmission mechanism commonly used in the prior art and applicable to this embodiment. At the same time, the transmission unit 380 has a slider 381, so that the slider 381 can perform linear reciprocating motion under the drive of the transmission unit 380.
[0040] In order to smoothly adjust the angle, such as Figures 1-2 and Figures 5-6 As shown, an arc plate 382 is fixedly mounted on the slider 381, and a groove 383 is provided on the arc plate 382. A sliding block 384 is slidably mounted on the groove 383, and a mounting plate 385 is fixedly mounted on the sliding block 384, so that the operator can push the mounting plate 385 to move along the groove 383.
[0041] In order to position the mounting plate 385, multiple sets of threaded holes are provided on the arc plate 382, and a locking bolt 386 is threadedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 385. The locking bolt 386 passes through the mounting plate 385 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the arc plate 382. Thus, when the operator pushes the mounting plate 385 to the appropriate position, it can be positioned and used by the locking bolt 386.
[0042] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the stretching operation, a pressing part 387 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate 385. The pressing part 387 includes two sets of base plates 388 fixedly provided on the mounting plate 385, and a pressure plate 389 is provided on the base plate 388. Threaded holes are opened on the base plate 388 and the pressure plate 389 respectively, and screws are threaded on the threaded holes to fix the pressure plate 389 and the base plate 388 with screws. When the screws are turned, the pressure plate 389 and the base plate 388 can be separated. Then, before the stretching test, the other end of the automotive wiring harness can be passed between the pressure plate 389 and the base plate 388 and fixed with screws to facilitate the stretching operation.
[0043] Before the stretching operation begins, first open the protective shell 1, insert one end of the automotive wiring harness into the mounting groove of the fixing part 37, and then pass the other end through the pressure plate 389 and the base plate 388, and then fix it by rotating the screw.
[0044] Then, after closing the protective shell 1, the motor 30 can be started to drive the fixing plate 35 to move vertically upward along the screw 34, thereby achieving the effect of stretching the automotive wiring harness. At this time, the transmission unit 380 can be started to drive the arc plate 382 to perform linear reciprocating motion, thereby simulating the stretching state of the automotive wiring harness under different driving conditions.
[0045] If it is necessary to adjust the angle and position of the automotive wiring harness, the protective cover 1 can be opened again, and then the mounting plate 385 can be pushed along the slide 383 until it is moved to the appropriate position. Then, it can be fixed by locking bolt 386. After that, the protective cover 1 can be closed for testing. Finally, the data can be transmitted through the sensor 36 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the angle and position of the automotive wiring harness.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
