Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation testing technology, and in particular to a rapid testing fixture for industrial robot pipeline harnesses. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial robot cable harnesses refer to the combined structures integrated into industrial robot systems for the protection, organization, and transmission of various cables. They bring together multiple cables with different functions in an orderly manner to prevent problems such as wear, pulling, and entanglement caused by robot movement, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the cables.

[0003] Given the importance of industrial robot cable harnesses and their susceptibility to failure in complex working environments, an industrial robot cable harness testing fixture has been developed. This fixture mainly consists of a testing host, connection interface, signal transmission line, control and data processing system, and power supply module. During operation, the cable harness is first connected to the connection interface. After setting parameters on the operating interface, the testing host sends a detection signal to the cable harness via the transmission line. The host collects the response signal and sends it back for analysis. The signal is compared with a preset threshold to determine the cable harness status. If the harness passes, it displays "pass" and stores the data; otherwise, it indicates the fault type and location.

[0004] Because industrial robot cable harnesses come in a wide variety of types, with significant differences in shape, orientation, thickness, and flexibility, traditional testing fixtures often lack flexibility due to their simple, product-specific fixing structures. This makes them ill-suited to this diversity and unable to accurately secure the cable harnesses. Consequently, the cable harnesses may shift, wobble, or twist during testing, affecting accuracy and reliability. Some complexly curved cable harnesses cannot be securely fixed in the correct position, leading to poor contact between the testing interface and the cable harness, resulting in unstable electrical signal transmission or increased testing data errors. Furthermore, traditional testing fixtures often use complex fixing methods, such as numerous screws or non-standard embedded connections, lacking guiding and positioning structures. This makes precise alignment during insertion and removal difficult, easily causing wear or damage to connecting components. Therefore, a rapid testing fixture for industrial robot cable harnesses is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a rapid inspection fixture for industrial robot cable bundles and harnesses, aiming to improve the problems of poor flexibility of the fixing device of the existing industrial robot cable bundle and harness inspection fixture, difficulty in accurately fixing various cable bundles and harnesses, inconvenience in connecting the interface module to the fixture body, lack of accurate alignment, and fragility.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rapid inspection fixture for industrial robot cable bundles and harnesses includes a base, a platform mounted on the top of the base, a first fixing seat and a second fixing seat fixed on the top of the platform, a test interface body mounted in the middle of the second fixing seat, a fixing component in the middle of the first fixing seat and a disassembly component in the middle of the second fixing seat, and a test interface body and an inspection host on the top of the base.

[0008] The fixing component includes a bolt, which is threadedly connected to the middle of the fixing seat, and a fixing plate is slidably connected to the side of the fixing seat away from the bolt.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The disassembly assembly includes a fixing post, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing base 2. A movable rod is slidably connected to the middle of the fixing post, and a limit piece is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable rod.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] Multiple springs are evenly distributed between the fixing base and the fixing plate;

[0014] The bolt abuts against the side of the fixing plate near the spring, and protective pads are provided on the side of the fixing plate away from the spring and the inner side of the fixing seat away from the bolt.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A compression spring is fitted between the limiting plate and the fixing post, and the moving rod is slidably connected to the middle of the second fixing seat;

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The test interface body has a hole on the side near the moving rod, and the moving rod is slidably connected to the middle of the hole;

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The top of the platform is equipped with a winding rod, the bottom of the platform is equipped with a storage box, and a transmission line is fixedly connected between the detection host and the test interface body.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, the tightening and loosening of bolts drives the fixing plate to quickly fix the industrial robot tubing harness. It can adapt to the fixing needs of industrial robot tubing harnesses of different sizes and shapes. The elasticity of the spring allows the fixing plate to clamp the harness smoothly during bolt adjustment, ensuring both firmness and avoiding damage caused by excessive compression.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, the test interface body can be quickly replaced by disassembling the components to adapt to various models of pipeline harnesses. The structural design of the moving rod, limiting plate, compression spring and hole makes the disassembly operation of the test interface body simple and quick, reducing the time wasted due to the inconvenience of connecting the interface module and the tooling body, improving the versatility and work efficiency of the testing tooling, and reducing the risk of wear or damage to the connecting parts due to inaccurate alignment during insertion and removal, thus extending the service life of the industrial robot pipeline harness rapid testing tooling.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this utility model provides a rapid testing fixture for industrial robot cable bundles and harnesses, including a base 1, a platform 2 mounted on the top of the base 1, a fixing seat 5 and a fixing seat 11 fixed on the top of the platform 2, a test interface body 17 mounted in the middle of the fixing seat 11, a fixing component 4 provided in the middle of the fixing seat 5, a disassembly component 10 provided in the middle of the fixing seat 11, and a test interface body 17 and a testing host 3 provided on the top of the base 1.

[0033] The fixing component 4 includes a bolt 6, which is threadedly connected to the center of the fixing seat 5. A fixing plate 7 is slidably connected to the side of the fixing seat 5 away from the bolt 6. Multiple springs 8 are evenly distributed between the fixing seat 5 and the fixing plate 7. The bolt 6 abuts against the side of the fixing plate 7 near the springs 8. Protective pads 9 are provided on the side of the fixing plate 7 away from the springs 8 and on the inner side of the fixing seat 5 away from the bolt 6. By tightening the bolt 6 by rotating it clockwise, the bolt 6 gradually moves forward and pushes the fixing plate 7 connected to it to move. During this process, the fixing plate 7 overcomes the elastic force of the springs 8 and stretches outward. As the fixing plate 7 moves, the distance between it and the inner wall of the fixing seat 5 gradually decreases, thereby forming a stable and uniform clamping force on the cable bundle placed therein. This successfully achieves clamping of different diameters, shapes, and other types of cable bundles. The flexible cable bundle is reliably secured. After the inspection is completed, turning the bolt 6 counterclockwise gradually releases the force on the fixing plate 7. At this time, the spring 8 quickly contracts under its own elastic restoring force, causing the fixing plate 7 to quickly return to its initial state. This convenient reset design greatly facilitates the next use. In addition, protective pads 9 are carefully provided on the inner wall of the fixing seat 5 and on the side of the fixing plate 7 that contacts the cable bundle. The protective pads 9 are made of soft rubber or silicone material with certain cushioning properties. They can effectively disperse the clamping force and avoid leaving clamping marks, scratches or other forms of damage on the surface of the cable bundle due to excessive local pressure. Thus, the integrity and performance of the cable bundle are protected in all aspects during the fixing process, further improving the reliability and safety of the inspection tooling.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The disassembly assembly 10 includes a fixing post 12, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing base 11. A moving rod 13 is slidably connected to the middle of the fixing post 12. A limiting piece 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the moving rod 13. A compression spring 16 is assembled between the limiting piece 15 and the fixing post 12. The moving rod 13 is slidably connected to the middle of the fixing base 11. A hole 14 is opened on the side of the test interface body 17 near the moving rod 13. The moving rod 13 is slidably connected to the middle of the hole 14. When the test interface body 17 needs to be replaced, the operator pulls the moving rod 13 outward. The moving rod 13 slides outward along the fixing post 12. At this time, the limiting piece 15 connected to the moving rod 13 also moves and begins to compress the fixing post 12. The compression spring 16 between the fixed post 12 and the limiting piece 15 undergoes elastic deformation under force and stores elastic potential energy. As the moving rod 13 moves outward, the part of it that was originally inserted into the hole 14 of the test interface body 17 gradually disengages from the hole 14, thereby releasing the lock on the test interface body 17. At this time, the test interface body 17 can be removed from the fixed base 11 for replacement. After the replacement is completed, the moving rod 13 is released, and the compression spring 16 begins to rebound under the action of elastic restoring force, pushing the limiting piece 15 to drive the moving rod 13 to slide inward along the fixed post 12 until the moving rod 13 is re-inserted into the hole 14 of the new test interface body 17, completing the locking and installation of the test interface body 17.

[0035] This method is simple and convenient to operate. The disassembly and installation of the test interface body 17 can be completed simply by pulling and releasing the moving rod 13. There is no need to use complicated tools or perform cumbersome operation steps, which greatly improves the efficiency of the test fixture in replacing interfaces when dealing with different types of pipeline bundles and harnesses. At the same time, the elastic characteristics of the compression spring 16 are utilized so that the moving rod 13 can maintain a stable and appropriate force during locking and unlocking. This ensures that the test interface body 17 is firmly connected during use and will not fall off accidentally due to slight vibration or external interference. It also avoids disassembly difficulties and damage to interface components caused by overly tight connections, effectively extending the service life of the test fixture and reducing maintenance costs.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The top of platform 2 is equipped with a winding rod 19, and the bottom of platform 2 is equipped with a storage box 20. A transmission line 18 is fixedly connected between the detection host 3 and the test interface body 17. The top of the base 1 is equipped with an operation button 21 and a warning light 22. The operator can manually wind the wire harness along the circumference of the winding rod 19 to neatly store the wire harness, avoiding the wire harness being placed messily on the detection platform 2, which would affect the detection operation and cause damage or tangling of the wire harness. The operator can classify and place items in the storage box 20 as needed, and can quickly take out the corresponding items from the storage box 20 when needed during the detection process.

[0037] Working principle: First, when using this industrial robot for rapid inspection of cable bundles and harnesses, place the cable bundle and harness to be inspected on the fixed base 5. Then, rotate and tighten the bolt 6. The bolt 6 pushes the fixed plate 7 to move. The fixed plate 7 stretches the spring 8 and works with the inner wall of the fixed base 5 to clamp the cable bundle and harness, thus achieving the fixed clamping of cable bundles and harnesses of different sizes. Rotate and tighten the bolt 6. Under the reaction action of the spring 8, the fixed plate 7 quickly returns to its original position for easy reuse. The protective pad 9 can prevent damage to the cable bundle.

[0038] Secondly, when it is necessary to replace the test interface body 17 to accommodate different models of pipeline harnesses, pull the moving rod 13. The moving rod 13 drives the limiting piece 15 to squeeze the compression spring 16, so that the moving rod 13 disengages from the hole 14 of the test interface body 17, and the test interface body 17 can be removed from the fixing base 2 11 for replacement.

[0039] Secondly, during the testing operation, the testing host 3 is connected to the test interface body 17 via the transmission line 18. The operation button 21 is used to set the testing parameters and other operations. The testing host 3 sends out a testing signal and transmits it to the test interface body 17 via the transmission line 18. After the test interface body 17 is connected to the wire harness, it collects the response signal of the wire harness and transmits it back to the testing host 3 via the transmission line 18 for analysis. It compares the signal with the preset threshold to determine the status of the wire harness. If it is qualified, the warning light 22 displays the normal status and stores the data. If it is unqualified, the warning light 22 displays the fault status and indicates the fault type and location.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
