Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire harness testing technology, specifically relating to a device for testing the airtightness of wire harness sleeves. Background Technology
[0002] The air tightness test of wire harness sleeves is a test method specifically used to inspect the sealing performance of rubber or plastic sealing sleeves on wire harnesses.
[0003] The core principle of wire harness sleeve air tightness testing is to fill the sleeve or closed cavity with compressed air (or inert gas) at a certain pressure, and then use precision instruments to monitor the decrease in gas pressure or the amount of leakage within a specified time. This determines whether there is a leak in the sleeve and whether the seal is qualified, ensuring that the wire harness can effectively prevent water, dust and moisture in subsequent use, and protect the internal wires and connectors from external environmental corrosion.
[0004] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent document with authorization announcement number CN218156725U discloses a tooling for testing the air tightness of wire harness sleeves. Each time the air tightness of different sleeves is measured, only a simple operation of changing the cover that matches the sleeve being tested is required, which improves the convenience and applicability of testing to a certain extent. However, since the sleeve is made of elastic material, when it is clamped inside the air outlet of the mold cover plate for testing, the air pressure acting on the sleeve can easily push the sleeve out from inside the air outlet of the mold cover plate, causing the test to fail and requiring repeated testing.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for an airtightness testing device for wire harness sleeves that can improve the connection stability between the sleeve and the mold cover plate and ensure normal testing, in order to solve the current technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an airtightness testing device for wire harness sleeves that can improve the connection stability between the sleeve and the mold cover plate and ensure normal testing.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an airtightness testing device for wire harness sleeves, including a base, an air storage cylinder fixedly installed on the top of the base, an air inlet pipe connected to one side of the air storage cylinder, a module cover detachably installed on the top of the air storage cylinder, a sleeve installed on the module cover, a wire harness installed on the sleeve, two pressure claw assemblies staggered vertically above the sleeve, the vertical distance between the two pressure claw assemblies being not less than the outer diameter of the wire harness, a downward pressure driving mechanism for driving the pressure claw assemblies to move downward or reset is mounted above the pressure claw assemblies; the pressure claw assembly has a semi-circular arc plate that matches the edge of the sleeve, and the middle part of the semi-circular arc plate is detachably and fixedly connected to the lower end of the downward pressure driving mechanism.
[0008] Furthermore, the pressing drive mechanism has a mounting seat that is slidably disposed above the rubber sleeve in a vertical direction, and a cylinder that drives it to move down or reset is disposed above the mounting seat; a connecting plate is fixedly disposed in the middle of the semi-circular arc plate, and the connecting plate is detachably fixedly connected to the mounting seat.
[0009] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly provided on the top of the base, and a guide rod is vertically fixedly provided on the top of the mounting base, with the guide rod slidably connected to the bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, the bracket has an L-shaped frame vertically fixed to the top of the base, a horizontal plate fixed to the upper end of the L-shaped frame, the cylinder fixed to the top of the horizontal plate, and the guide rod slidably connected to the horizontal plate vertically.
[0011] Furthermore, the mounting base has U-shaped grooves evenly distributed on it, and the top of the connecting plate is vertically fixed with studs corresponding to the U-shaped grooves. The studs are fitted with lock nuts for locking or releasing them from the mounting base.
[0012] Furthermore, a pressure gauge is connected to the air storage cylinder via a pipeline, an air compressor is connected to the end of the air inlet pipe opposite to the air storage cylinder, and a shut-off valve is installed on the air inlet pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the connecting plate and the semi-circular arc plate are connected to form an integral structure, and the mounting base is a circular plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] (1) In this utility model, the rubber sleeve at one end of the wire harness is installed inside the air outlet of the module cover. A downward driving mechanism drives a semi-circular arc plate to press down on one side of the top of the rubber sleeve, and pushes the wire harness to the side close to the rubber sleeve. Then another downward driving mechanism drives another semi-circular arc plate to press down on the other side of the top of the rubber sleeve. At this time, a certain pressure of gas can be introduced into the air storage cylinder for detection.
[0016] (2) During the testing process, the top of the rubber sleeve is pressed and fixed by the pressure claw assembly, which improves the connection stability between the rubber sleeve and the mold cover plate. The rubber sleeve will not be pushed out during the air ventilation test, ensuring that the test is carried out normally.
[0017] (3) By driving two pressure claw assemblies arranged in an alternating manner through two pressure driving mechanisms, the wire harness can be placed into the two pressure claw assemblies, thus avoiding interference between the wire harness and the pressure claw assemblies during pressure.
[0018] (4) The two semi-circular arc plates are just put together to form a circular structure that matches the edge of the rubber sleeve, which can evenly press the four edges of the rubber sleeve onto the top of the module cover. Attached Figure Description

[0023] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an airtightness testing device for a wire harness sleeve is disclosed, including a base 1, an air storage cylinder 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, an air inlet pipe 21 connected to one side of the air storage cylinder 2, a module cover 3 detachably mounted on the top of the air storage cylinder 2, a sleeve 4 mounted on the module cover 3, a wire harness 5 mounted on the sleeve 4, two pressure claw assemblies 7 staggered vertically above the sleeve 4, the vertical distance between the two pressure claw assemblies 7 is not less than the outer diameter of the wire harness 5, and a downward pressure driving mechanism 8 for driving the pressure claw assemblies 7 to move downward or reset is mounted above the pressure claw assemblies 7; the pressure claw assembly 7 has a semi-circular arc plate 71 that matches the edge of the sleeve 4, and the middle part of the semi-circular arc plate 71 is detachably and fixedly connected to the lower end of the downward pressure driving mechanism 8.
[0024] In the above embodiment, the rubber sleeve 4 at one end of the wire harness 5 is installed inside the air outlet of the module cover 3. A pressing drive mechanism 8 drives a semi-circular arc plate 71 to press down on one side of the top of the rubber sleeve 4, pulling the wire harness closer to the pressed side of the rubber sleeve 4. Then, another pressing drive mechanism 8 drives another semi-circular arc plate 71 to press down on the other side of the top of the rubber sleeve 4. At this time, a certain pressure of gas can be introduced into the air storage cylinder 2 for detection. During the detection process, the top of the rubber sleeve 4 is pressed and fixed by the pressure claw assembly 7, lifting the rubber sleeve 4. The connection stability between sleeve 4 and mold cover plate 3 ensures that sleeve 4 will not be pushed out during ventilation testing, thus guaranteeing normal testing. Two pressing drive mechanisms 8 drive two staggered pressure claw assemblies 7 to press down on sleeve 4, allowing wire harness 5 to be placed inside the two pressure claw assemblies 7, avoiding interference between wire harness 5 and pressure claw assemblies 7 during pressing. Two semi-circular arc plates 71 are assembled to form a ring structure that matches the edge of sleeve 4, which can evenly press the four edges of sleeve 4 onto the top of module cover 3.
[0025] In some embodiments, the pressing drive mechanism 8 has a mounting base 83 that is slidably disposed above the rubber sleeve 4 in a vertical direction, and a cylinder 81 that drives it to move down or reset is disposed above the mounting base 83; by controlling the air pressure of the cylinder 81, the clamping force of the clamping claw assembly 7 on the rubber sleeve 4 can be adjusted to make the clamping force moderate and avoid excessive clamping force that could damage the rubber sleeve 4; a connecting plate 72 is fixedly disposed in the middle of the semi-circular arc plate 71, and the connecting plate 72 is detachably fixedly connected to the mounting base 83; the detachable design of the semi-circular arc plate 71 allows for the selection of a matching clamping claw assembly 7 according to rubber sleeves 4 with different outer diameters, thereby improving its applicability.
[0026] In some embodiments, a bracket 6 is fixedly provided on the top of the base 1, and a guide rod 82 is vertically fixedly provided on the top of the mounting base 83. The guide rod 82 is slidably connected to the bracket 6. The mounting base 83 is slidably connected to the bracket 6 through the guide rod 82, which can improve the stability of the mounting base 83 moving up and down, and at the same time prevent the mounting base 83 from rotating, thus ensuring the positional accuracy of the semi-circular arc plate 71.
[0027] In some embodiments, the bracket 6 has an L-shaped frame 61 that is vertically fixedly disposed on the top of the base 1, a horizontal plate 62 that is fixedly disposed on the upper end of the L-shaped frame 61, a cylinder 81 that is fixedly disposed on the top of the horizontal plate 62, and a guide rod 82 that is vertically slidably connected to the horizontal plate 62.
[0028] In some embodiments, the mounting base 83 has U-shaped grooves 84 evenly spaced, and the top of the connecting plate 72 is vertically fixed with studs 73 corresponding to the U-shaped grooves 84. The studs 73 are fitted with locking nuts 74 for locking or releasing between them and the mounting base 83. After removing the locking nuts 74 from the studs 73, the clamping claw assembly 7 can be removed from the mounting base 83. After selecting the desired clamping claw assembly 7 and installing the studs 73 on its top corresponding to the U-shaped grooves 84, the locking nuts 74 are fitted on the studs 73 to lock and fix the studs 73 to the mounting base 83.
[0029] In some embodiments, a pressure gauge is connected to the air storage cylinder 2 via a pipeline. The pressure gauge is used to detect the internal air pressure of the air storage cylinder 2. An air compressor is connected to the end of the air inlet pipe 21 away from the air storage cylinder. A shut-off valve is installed on the air inlet pipe 21. By observing the pressure gauge, gas is injected into the air storage cylinder 2 through the air compressor via the air inlet pipe 21. When the pressure gauge shows that the air pressure has reached the detection pressure, the gas injection is stopped and the air inlet pipe 21 is shut off through the shut-off valve. After maintaining this for a period of time, the decrease in the air pressure value displayed on the pressure gauge is observed to see if it meets the requirements.
[0030] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 72 and the semi-circular arc plate 71 are connected to form an integral structure with high connection strength. The mounting base 83 is a circular plate, and the shape of the connecting plate 72 matches that of the mounting base 83.

Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.
[0032] The embodiments described above only illustrate some implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
