[0002] The needle flame test is a method used to evaluate the flame retardant properties of materials. This test is commonly applied to plastic components in electronic and electrical products to ensure they do not easily ignite or spread a flame upon contact with a flame, thus ensuring product safety. When conducting needle flame tests on heat-generating elements and internal wiring components as specified in GB 4706.8 and IEC 60335-2-17, it is often difficult to clamp specimens that are slender or made of soft materials. Existing clamps also struggle to guarantee good positional accuracy after clamping, leading to specimen swaying during testing and affecting the measurement results. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a fixture for needle flame testing, which solves the technical problems of time-consuming and laborious adjustment of the relative position of the specimen and the burning needle, and difficulty in ensuring positional accuracy in the prior art. It has the technical advantages of reasonable structure, convenient and reliable specimen clamping, good flexibility, and helps to ensure the positional accuracy of the specimen. The technical solution adopted is as follows:

The first clamping plate includes a first flexible mesh, and the second clamping plate includes a second flexible mesh. The first and second flexible meshes are made of fire-resistant and high-temperature resistant materials. When the first and second clamping plates are relatively fixed, the first and second flexible meshes can flexibly clamp the specimen to facilitate needle flame testing.

[0005] Based on the above technical solution, the first flexible mesh includes a plurality of first metal wires, the second flexible mesh includes a plurality of second metal wires, and the first flexible mesh and the second flexible mesh are respectively disposed on both sides of the specimen to flexibly clamp the specimen.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, a plurality of the first metal wires are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of the second metal wires are arranged in parallel with the first metal wires, with the second metal wires avoiding the first metal wires, so as to clamp the specimen in different sections.

Preferably, the width of the first flexible mesh is larger than the space between the two arms of the first clamping plate, and the width of the second flexible mesh is larger than the space between the two arms of the second clamping plate, so that when the specimen is clamped between the first flexible mesh and the second flexible mesh, it can be finely adjusted by swinging up and down.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are provided with a first groove and a second groove on their opposite side walls to accommodate the first metal wire and the second metal wire.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are provided with a plurality of connection holes for threaded connection; or the first clamping plate is hinged to the second clamping plate at the first end, and the first clamping plate is connected to the second clamping plate at the second end by a locking member.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the angle between the connecting part and the plane where the first clamping plate is located is 30 to 60°.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] This utility model has a reasonable structure. The first and second flexible meshes are respectively set on both sides of the specimen to flexibly clamp the specimen. On the one hand, the covering clamping is conducive to the stable clamping of the specimen, and can maintain good positional accuracy even if the specimen is burning. On the other hand, the first and second flexible meshes can clamp the specimen at multiple positions, and can clamp even slender or soft specimens well. In addition, the flexible clamping of the first and second flexible meshes gives the specimen a certain degree of freedom of movement. Thus, the angle of the specimen can be flexibly adjusted after clamping, making it convenient to use.

[0016] In this invention, both the first flexible mesh and the second flexible mesh include several parallel metal wires. The two ends of the metal wires are wrapped around the two arms of the clamping plate. The two arms of the clamping plate are provided with grooves, which can position the metal wires and prevent the metal wires from slipping during use, thereby ensuring the clamping is reliable.

[0017] In this utility model, one end of the first clamping plate is also provided with a connecting part, which is used to fix the tooling, and the connecting part has an angle with the plane where the first clamping plate is located, so that the specimen can be arranged at a set angle, which facilitates the needle flame test.
