Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector testing technology, specifically a connector testing and positioning fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electrical connectors, are conductor devices that bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. They are widely used in various electrical circuits to connect or disconnect current or signals.
[0003] Traditional testing fixtures require manual adjustment of the fixture position to fit connectors of different sizes, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. This significantly impacts production cycle, especially in batch testing scenarios. Furthermore, mechanical positioning relies on manual calibration or fixed fixtures, making it difficult to guarantee the absolute alignment of the connector center with the testing reference, leading to deviations in testing data. To address these issues, we propose a connector testing and positioning fixture. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a connector detection and positioning fixture, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a connector detection and positioning fixture, comprising: a base frame, a column fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base frame, a reference plate fixedly mounted on the upper end of the column, the center of the reference plate being aligned with the center of the connector detection platform; a first U-shaped seat and a second U-shaped seat fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the reference plate, a guide rod fixedly connected between the first U-shaped seat and the second U-shaped seat, a slide block slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod, a U-shaped rod fixedly mounted on the side of the slide block, and a clamping block fixedly mounted on the upper end of the U-shaped rod; a hydraulic cylinder also fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the reference plate, a piston rod being provided inside the hydraulic cylinder, the piston rod passing through the end of the second U-shaped seat and fixedly connected to the U-shaped rod.
[0006] Preferably, the clamp can contact the connector to form a contact surface, and the contact surface is provided with a silicone pad.
[0007] Preferably, the guide rod consists of two straight rods in a fixed state, with a gap between the two straight rods to accommodate the U-shaped rod.
[0008] Preferably, the second U-shaped seat has a through hole for the U-shaped rod to pass through, and the U-shaped rod is also slidably connected to the second U-shaped seat.
[0009] Preferably, a node seat is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the reference plate through the node seat.
[0010] Preferably, a boss is fixedly installed on the side of the base frame, and the boss has a threaded hole that can be engaged with a bolt.
[0011] Preferably, the guide rod, the first U-shaped seat, and the second U-shaped seat are all located between the base frame and the reference plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This connector testing and positioning fixture allows the reference plate to be initially set up at the testing station of the testing table. The reference plate also integrates structures such as hydraulic cylinders. Therefore, when the hydraulic cylinder is activated, the piston rod can push the U-shaped rod and the clamping block to slide along the guide rod. Then, the distance between multiple clamping blocks can be adjusted to facilitate the placement of the connector. Similarly, multiple hydraulic cylinders sequentially drive multiple clamping blocks to slide, which can not only align the center of the connector with the center of the reference plate, but also meet the positioning requirements of connectors of different sizes.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4A connector testing and positioning fixture includes: a base frame 1 serving as the supporting foundation for the entire fixture, ensuring the overall stability of the fixture; a column 2 fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base frame 1; a reference plate 3 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the column 2; the center of the reference plate 3 being aligned with the center of the connector testing platform; providing a reference plane for connector testing and positioning, ensuring the accuracy of connector placement and testing; and a boss 101 fixedly mounted on the side of the base frame 1, with threaded holes on the boss 101 that can be engaged with bolts, allowing the boss 101 to be locked onto the testing platform by bolts, facilitating the alignment of the reference plate 3 with the testing position of the testing platform, and achieving precise positioning and installation of the fixture.
[0021] A first U-shaped seat 9 and a second U-shaped seat 10 are fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the reference plate 3. A guide rod 7 is fixedly connected between the first U-shaped seat 9 and the second U-shaped seat 10, providing stable support for the guide rod 7 and ensuring that the position of the guide rod 7 is fixed, so that the slide 8 can slide stably on the guide rod 7. The slide 8 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod 7. The guide rod 7 is composed of two fixed straight rods, and a gap is provided between the two straight rods to accommodate the U-shaped rod 5. The guide rod 7 provides a sliding track for the slide 8 and the U-shaped rod 5, ensuring the smoothness and straightness of the sliding of the slide 8 and the U-shaped rod 5. The linearity allows the clamping block 4 to move accurately to the position where it contacts the connector. It also restricts the movement direction of the slide block 8 and the U-shaped rod 5, so that the clamping block 4 can only move along the direction of the guide rod 7, which improves the positioning and clamping accuracy. The U-shaped rod 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the slide block 8, and the clamping block 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the U-shaped rod 5. The clamping block 4 can contact the connector to form a contact surface, and this contact surface is provided with a silicone pad. The silicone pad has a certain elasticity and friction, which can increase the friction with the connector, making the clamping more secure, and also prevent the clamping block 4 from damaging the connector.
[0022] A hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the reference plate 3. A node seat 601 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the hydraulic cylinder 6. The hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the reference plate 3 through the node seat 601 to ensure the stability of the hydraulic cylinder 6 during operation and enable the hydraulic cylinder 6 to accurately transmit power. A piston rod 602 is also provided inside the hydraulic cylinder 6. The piston rod 602 passes through the end of the second U-shaped seat 10 and is fixedly connected to the U-shaped rod 5. The internal piston rod 602 pushes the U-shaped rod 5 and the slide block 8 to slide along the guide rod 7, providing power for the movement of the clamping block 4, realizing automated clamping operation and improving work efficiency. The second U-shaped seat 10 has a through hole for the U-shaped rod 5 to pass through, and the U-shaped rod 5 is also slidably connected to the second U-shaped seat 10, so that the U-shaped rod 5 can pass through and slide with it. In conjunction with the hydraulic cylinder 6, the U-shaped rod 5 is pushed to slide, realizing the clamping action of the connector. The guide rod 7, the first U-shaped seat 9 and the second U-shaped seat 10 are all located between the base frame 1 and the reference plate 3.
[0023] Working principle: The base frame 1, column 2, and reference plate 3 are integrated into one structure. Therefore, the reference plate 3 can be aligned with the inspection station of the inspection table through the protrusion 101 on the base frame 1, and the protrusion 101 is then locked onto the inspection table with bolts. After the connector is placed on the reference plate 3, multiple hydraulic cylinders 6 on the bottom surface of the reference plate 3 are activated. The piston rod 602 pushes the U-shaped rod 5 and the slide block 8 at the lower end of the U-shaped rod 5 to slide along the guide rod 7. The clamping block 4 fixed at the upper end of the U-shaped rod 5 slides synchronously, so that the clamping block 4 contacts the connector. The stroke of the piston rod 602 of the hydraulic cylinders 6 in different positions is controlled, so as to clamp and fix the connector, and also align the center of the connector with the center of the reference plate 3 for subsequent connector inspection.
[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
