Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive air conditioning testing equipment, and in particular to a vibration testing fixture for multiple devices. Background Technology

[0002] The PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater in automotive air conditioning is a device that uses resistance heating to convert electrical energy into heat energy to raise the temperature inside the vehicle. The main purpose of PTC vibration testing is to evaluate the performance stability and durability of the PTC heater under simulated real-world vibration environments. This includes testing the structural integrity, electrical performance stability, and reliability of the PTC under vibration conditions to ensure it can withstand the effects of various vibration sources during vehicle operation and avoid functional failure or damage. In PTC vibration testing, the PTC heater needs to be fixed on a vibration table in its actual vehicle installation state, and acceleration and vibration are applied for 8 hours each in the vertical, left-right, and front-back directions. In addition, the test may include other vibration parameters, such as vibration frequency and direction (radial and axial), depending on the test requirements. Existing vibration testing fixtures suffer from technical problems such as inconvenient installation and low testing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0023] This utility model discloses a vibration testing fixture for multiple devices (hereinafter referred to as vibration testing fixture for ease of description), see reference Figures 1-2As shown, the vibration testing fixture includes a base plate 100 and multiple fixture bodies 200. The base plate 100 is used to connect to the vibration source. The multiple fixture bodies 200 are spaced apart on the base plate 100, and each fixture body 200 has an installation space for accommodating a PTC heater 300. (Reference) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the installation space has a support surface 211. The PTC heater 300 is inserted into the installation space and supported by the support surface 211. The support surface 211 is set at an angle to the base plate 100, so that the PTC heater 300 installed in the installation space is tilted relative to the base plate 100. It can be understood that in actual testing, multiple PTC heaters 300 only need to be inserted into multiple installation spaces respectively, and then the entire vibration testing fixture is installed on the vibration source for testing. The operation is very convenient, and multiple PTC heaters 300 can be vibrated simultaneously in one test, improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, since the installation space has a support surface 211, the PTC heater 300 is inserted into the installation space and supported by the support surface 211. The support surface 211 is set at an angle to the base plate 100, so that the PTC heater 300 installed in the installation space is tilted relative to the base plate 100. The tilted PTC heater 300 is consistent with the state of being installed in the car air conditioner, ensuring that the vibration test environment is as consistent as possible with the actual working environment of the PTC heater 300, thus improving the simulation effectiveness of the vibration test.

[0024] Referring to Figure 2, each fixture body 200 is provided with a receiving groove 212, which forms an installation space. The PTC heater 300 can be inserted into the receiving groove 212 through the slot 2121. It can be understood that providing the receiving groove 212 on the fixture body 200 as an installation space can better ensure that the PTC heater 300 is stably held on the fixture body 200, thereby ensuring the stable conduct of vibration testing.

[0025] Optionally, a heat dissipation vent 2122 is formed on the top wall of the receiving groove 212 for heat dissipation. It is understood that during the test, the PTC heater 300 will be powered on and generate heat. The heat dissipation vent 2122 can ensure that the PTC heater 300 dissipates heat well when it is powered on and avoids the PTC heater 300 overheating and being damaged during vibration testing.

[0026] refer to Figure 2As shown, each fixture body 200 is also provided with a mounting groove 213 surrounding the slot 2121. The mounting groove 213 is used to mate with the lower cover of the PTC heater 300. It can be understood that when the PTC heater 300 is inserted into the mounting groove 2121, the mounting groove 213 surrounding the slot 2121 can mate with the lower cover of the PTC heater 300, which can limit the PTC heater 300 and prevent the PTC heater 300 from flying out of the mounting groove during vibration testing.

[0027] Optional, see reference Figure 2 As shown, the fixture body 200 is also provided with fixing holes 214, which are used to install fasteners to fix the lower cover of the PTC heater 300 to the fixture body 200. It can be understood that when the PTC heater 300 is inserted into the mounting slot 2121, the mounting groove 213 surrounding the slot 2121 can cooperate with the lower cover of the PTC heater 300. Then, the lower cover of the PTC heater 300 is fixed to the fixture body 200 by the fasteners, further improving the installation stability of the PTC heater 300 and the fixture body 200, thereby preventing the PTC heater 300 from flying out of the mounting groove during vibration testing.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the utility model, the fastener can be selected from screws, pins, or other structures according to actual needs. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the lower cover of the PTC heater 300 can also be directly fixed to the mounting groove 213 via a snap-fit ​​structure, and is not limited to the above-described fixing method.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 As shown, guide ribs 215 are provided on the side wall of the installation space. Guide ribs 215 are used to guide the PTC heater 300 into the installation space. It can be understood that during the test, when the PTC heater 300 is inserted into the installation space, the guide ribs 215 can guide the PTC heater 300, so that the PTC heater 300 can be smoothly inserted into the installation slot.

[0030] Optionally, guide ribs 215 are provided on two opposite side walls of the installation space. It is understood that providing guide ribs 215 on both opposite side walls of the installation space can enhance the guiding function of the PTC heater 300, prevent the PTC heater 300 from tilting during installation, and improve the installation stability of the PTC heater 300 and the tooling body 200.

[0031] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape and distribution of the guide rib 215 can be selected according to actual needs, and no restrictions are imposed on the specific parameters of the guide rib 215 here.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the main body 200 of the fixture is provided with a receiving space 216 for accommodating the connector of the PTC heater 300, and the receiving space 216 is located below the installation space.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the fixture body 200 includes a main body 210 and a fixing plate 220. The main body 210 supports the PTC heater 300, and the fixing plate 220 is adjustablely mounted on the base plate 100. It is understood that because the fixing plate 220 is adjustablely mounted on the base plate 100, during actual testing, by adjusting the position of the fixing plate 220 relative to the base plate 100, the positions of multiple fixture bodies 200 on the base plate 100 can be adjusted, ensuring a suitable distance between the multiple fixture bodies 200 during testing and preventing mutual interference between the multiple PTC heaters 300 during vibration testing.

[0034] Optionally, the fixing plate 220 is provided with a first adjustment hole 221, and the base plate 100 is provided with multiple second adjustment holes 110. An adjusting member passes through the first adjustment hole 221 and connects to the second adjustment holes 110 to fix the fixing plate 220 to the base plate 100. Understandably, during actual assembly, depending on the number of tooling bodies 200, the first adjustment hole 221 can be aligned with different second adjustment holes 110, and then fixed using the adjusting member. This ensures that there is a suitable distance between multiple tooling bodies 200 during testing, preventing mutual interference between multiple PTC heaters 300 during vibration testing. The structure, where the first adjustment hole 221 can selectively correspond to the second adjustment hole 110, facilitates the adjustment of the tooling body 200.

[0035] Optionally, there may be multiple first adjustment holes 221, which are spaced apart along the outer contour of the fixing plate 220. It is understood that fixing the fixing plate 220 with multiple adjustment members can improve the connection stability between the fixing plate 220 and the base plate 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the PTC heater 300 during vibration testing.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the utility model, the adjusting component may be selected from structures such as screws or pins according to actual needs. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the fixing plate 220 may also be directly fixed to the base plate 100 by a snap-fit ​​structure, and is not limited to the above-described fixing method.
