Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive testing technology, and in particular to a seat belt lock head positioning fixture for testing locking force. Background Technology

[0002] Seat belts are an important protective structure in cars. When a car is involved in a collision, seat belts can restrain the displacement of the occupants and buffer the impact energy, thus playing a role in protecting the passengers.

[0003] In the current seatbelt manufacturing process, the existing testing method involves two servo drive systems. One system directly drives the latch, applying pressure (tension) to it, while the other system directly drives a simulated finger pressing the unlock button. Due to the rigidity of both the testing system and the product under test, the latch's insertion and unlocking movements are extremely small. This minute change in the servo system's travel results in a large change in pressure (tension), meaning the slope of the servo system's displacement versus output force curve is large. Consequently, the force sensor feedback lags significantly behind the locking sensor signal (locking or unlocking signal). Because of the rigid connection, the latch cannot automatically eject after the unlock button is pressed, failing to fully simulate the product's actual working state. The locking sensor cannot promptly provide an unlocking signal. Based on these two points, the detected force displayed by the existing system deviates significantly from the actual product value, making it impossible to accurately measure the product's performance parameters.

[0004] During the testing process, the lock needs to be fixed in place, and the sensor signals inside the lock need to be received.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
