Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shorting wire storage in automotive electrical performance testing, and in particular to a shorting wire storage device for automotive electrical performance testing laboratories. Background Technology
[0002] In the current working environment of a vehicle electrical performance laboratory, the management of jumper wires mainly relies on manual sorting and differentiation. Testers regularly classify and organize jumper wires after use. However, as testing continues and the frequency of use of jumper wires increases, the problem of their increasingly disorganized placement becomes more and more prominent. Jumper wires of different sizes and specifications mixed together not only reduce the efficiency of retrieval but may also lead to deviations in vehicle electrical performance test results due to misuse, and in severe cases, may even damage testing equipment or affect test safety. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings in the aforementioned background technology, this utility model proposes a shorting wire storage device for automotive electrical performance testing laboratories, which solves the technical problems of existing shorting wires being misplaced, having low retrieval efficiency, and potentially causing deviations in the overall vehicle electrical performance test results due to misuse.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a shorting wire storage device for an automotive electrical performance testing laboratory includes a storage device body, a storage drawer slidably connected to the storage device body, a fixing groove for placing corresponding shorting wires inside the storage drawer, and a label layer for marking the size of the shorting wires that can be placed on the storage drawer.
[0005] Preferably, the storage device body is provided with several layers of storage drawers, and the fixing slots in two adjacent layers of storage drawers can hold two different sizes of short wires.
[0006] Preferably, at least two storage drawers are provided on the same level of the storage device body.
[0007] Preferably, the plurality of fixing slots of the same size are arranged in the same storage drawer.
[0008] Preferably, the storage drawer is provided with a drawer handle for easy movement.
[0009] Preferably, the drawer handle is connected to the front surface of the storage drawer, and the label layer is also located on the front surface of the storage drawer.
[0010] Preferably, the storage device body is provided with a portable handle.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the storage device body is provided with a fixed foot of adjustable length, and the bottom of the fixed foot is connected to a moving mechanism.
[0012] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes casters, which are fixedly connected to the storage device body via fixed feet.
[0013] Preferably, the caster wheel is a caster wheel equipped with a brake.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The storage drawer of this utility model is provided with a fixing slot for placing corresponding shorting wires, and the storage drawer is provided with a label layer for marking the size of the shorting wires that can be placed. By limiting the number of shorting wires that can be placed through the fixing slot, the situation of shorting wires being placed in a mixed manner is avoided. At the same time, the situation of shorting wires not being placed in a mixed manner is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of deviation in the test results of the whole vehicle electrical performance due to the misuse of shorting wires. Furthermore, the setting of the label layer makes the shorting wires more convenient to use, and the retrieval efficiency is greatly improved. Attached Figure Description
