[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1, as Figure 1-5 As shown, an aging test device for DC contactors includes an outer frame 1 with a front opening. A telescopic cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer frame 1. The telescopic shaft of the telescopic cylinder 2 passes through the outer frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 3. A test contact structure 4 and a clamping assembly are installed in the middle of the pressure plate 3. A placement groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer frame 1 for placing a DC contactor 6. The test contact structure 4 is directly opposite the stationary contact of the DC contactor 6. The clamping assembly abuts against the upper surface of the DC contactor 6. In this embodiment, the electrical performance of the DC contactor 6 is tested by connecting the test contact structure 4 to the testing equipment.

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] In use, the DC contactor 6 to be tested can be placed in the placement slot 5. Then, the telescopic cylinder 2 is activated, controlling its telescopic axis to extend downwards. This causes the entire pressure plate 3 to move downwards, thereby pushing the test contact structure 4 into close contact with the stationary contact of the DC contactor 6. Simultaneously, the clamping assembly presses against the upper surface of the DC contactor 6 to achieve stable fixation. This effectively ensures the stability and reliability of the DC contactor 6 during testing, guaranteeing the accuracy of the test data.

[0026] The coil terminals of the DC contactor 6 can then be directly connected to the power interface of the test equipment. By adjusting the power parameters, the actual working environment can be simulated. The test equipment can then be connected via the test contact structure 4 to monitor the electrical performance of the DC contactor 6 in real time, obtaining accurate data for easy analysis of its aging degree. Compared to existing technologies that use manual wiring, this method eliminates the manual wiring step, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing the risk of human error. This ensures the accuracy and consistency of test results and further enhances the ease of use and reliability of the equipment.

[0027] In Example 2, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, the test contact structure 4 includes a fixing block 41 and a contact rod 42. The fixing block 41 is fixedly embedded in the pressure plate 3, and the contact rod 42 passes through the fixing block 41 and is fixedly connected to it. The fixing block 41 provides stable support for the contact rod 42, and during maintenance, the contact rod 42 can be quickly replaced directly through the fixing block 41, improving equipment maintenance efficiency and ensuring long-term stable operation. Simultaneously, the contact rod 42 is made of a highly conductive material to effectively ensure the transmission accuracy of the test signal.

[0028] In embodiment three, as a further preferred embodiment two, an annular protrusion 43 is provided in the middle of the contact rod 42, and the annular protrusion 43 abuts against the lower surface of the fixing block 41. The annular protrusion 43 can limit the position of the contact rod 42, preventing the contact rod 42 from shifting during use, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the test contact structure 4 and the stationary contact of the DC contactor 6.

[0029] In Example 4, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, the clamping assembly includes a cylinder 7, which is fixedly mounted on a pressure plate 3. A piston rod 8 is slidably connected to the middle of the cylinder 7. A buffer spring 9 is installed between the upper end of the piston rod 8 and the top of the inner cavity of the cylinder 7. The lower end of the piston rod 8 extends out of the cylinder 7 and is fixedly mounted with a pressure block 10, which abuts against the upper surface of the DC contactor 6. Therefore, when the clamping assembly is moved downward by the pressure plate 3, the pressure block 10 at the lower end of the piston rod 8 presses against the upper surface of the DC contactor 6, and the elastic force of the buffer spring 9 applies a downward pressure to the piston rod 8. This ensures that the pressure block 10 can always apply a stable clamping force to the DC contactor 6, ensuring that it does not shift during the test, further improving the stability and accuracy of the test. At the same time, the buffer spring 9 can also effectively reduce mechanical impact and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0030] In Example 5, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, the pressure block 10 is made of rubber. Therefore, the rubber pressure block 10 can both ensure a buffering effect during contact with the DC contactor 6 to avoid damage to the DC contactor 6, and effectively absorb minor vibrations during the test, further optimizing the clamping effect and ensuring that the DC contactor 6 maintains stable contact even in complex environments, thus improving the reliability and durability of the overall test system.

[0031] In Example 6, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, multiple sets of test contact structure 4, clamping component and placement groove 5 are provided. In this embodiment, 5 sets of test contact structure 4, clamping component and placement groove 5 are provided. Each set of test contact structure 4 and clamping component is evenly and side by side installed on pressure plate 3, and each set of placement groove 5 is set one-to-one with each set of test contact structure 4 and clamping component.

[0032] Therefore, a telescopic cylinder 2 can drive the pressure plate 3 to move downward, so as to simultaneously drive multiple sets of test contact structures 4 and clamping components to contact the stationary contacts of the DC contactor 6 and clamp the DC contactor 6, thereby realizing the simultaneous detection of the performance of multiple DC contactors, ensuring the uniformity and comparability of test data, and also greatly improving the detection efficiency.

[0033] In Example 7, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, a guide rod 11 is vertically fixedly installed on the upper surface of the pressure plate 3, and a guide sleeve 12 is fixedly embedded on the upper surface of the outer frame 1. The guide rod 11 passes through the guide sleeve 12 and is slidably connected to the guide sleeve 12. Through the sliding cooperation between the guide rod 11 and the guide sleeve 12, the stability and accuracy of the pressure plate 3 during movement can be effectively ensured, avoiding test errors caused by offset, further enhancing the overall coordination and consistency of the test system, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of each test result.

[0034] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
