Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sealing test devices, specifically a sealing test device for automotive connectors. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive connector sealing performance testing device is a specialized piece of equipment used in batch quality control and after-sales troubleshooting in automotive manufacturing production lines. It is mainly used to test the sealing performance of automotive connectors in different application scenarios, such as engine compartments, chassis, and high-voltage systems of new energy vehicles.
[0003] Utility model patent CN221527919U discloses an automotive connector testing device, including a housing with a hinged door on the front. The top of the housing has equidistant placement holes, and the bottom of each placement hole has a support cylinder fixed at equal intervals. The connector body to be tested is placed inside each support cylinder. This utility model, by setting up a housing, placement holes, support cylinders, an air supply assembly, a bracket, a top plate, a cylinder, a moving plate, a connecting cylinder, a piston, a T-shaped rod, an upper sealing cover, and a lower sealing cover, allows for sealing of the connector body inside the cavity after placing it inside the support cylinder. The upper and lower sealing covers work together to seal the connector body inside the cavity. The air supply assembly then inflates the inside of the connector body. Finally, the change in the height of the T-shaped rod is observed to determine the sealing performance of the connector body. The testing operation is convenient.
[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, the connector can be sealed and fixed by splicing the upper and lower sealing covers during the use of the testing device. However, if the connector is large, the upper and lower sealing covers cannot fit together to form a closed space after the upper sealing cover is pressed against the connector, which will affect the testing and use of the connector. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to filter and purify the air during the sealing test, and dust and impurities can easily be blown into the interior of the connector, requiring separate cleaning afterwards, making it quite cumbersome to use. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The positioning mechanism 8 includes an upper body 81. Multiple upper bodies 81 are fixedly connected inside the fixing plate 6. A piston 82 is slidably sleeved inside the upper body 81. A push rod 83 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston 82 and is slidably connected to the upper body 81. A fixing strip 84 is fixedly connected inside the upper body 81. A guide rod 85 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing strip 84.

One end of the first spring 86 is fixedly connected to the fixing strip 84, and the other end of the first spring 86 is fixedly connected to the connecting strip 87. By designing the first spring 86, the force of the first spring 86 can act on the connecting strip 87. The connecting strip 87 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 85 and is slidably connected to the upper body 81.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4The filtration mechanism 9 includes a filter plate 91. The filter plate 91 is slidably sleeved on the left end of the housing 1.

[0020] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, the connector is first placed inside the lower body 15, and the connector will be sleeved on the outside of the exhaust pipe 14. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the fixing plate 6 to move down. The fixing plate 6 drives the guide post 7 to slide along the top plate 4. At the same time, the fixing plate 6 drives the upper body 81 to move down. The upper body 81 drives the pressure block 89 to move down. The pressure block 89 will first contact the connector while the upper body 81 continues to move down. The upper body 81 drives the fixing strip 84 and the guide rod 85 to slide along the connecting strip 87. The fixing strip 84 will press down the first spring 86. When the upper body 81 and the lower body 15 are in contact, the elastic action of the first spring 86 will give the connecting strip 87 a downward push force, which can make the pressure block 89 press down the connector. The connector can be pressed tightly inside the lower body 15 to realize the fixed detection of the connector. It can also be adapted to the fixing of connectors of different lengths and sizes, and the device has better adaptability.
[0021] When testing is required, the air pump 10 operates, drawing air into the chamber 1 through the suction port 11, creating a negative pressure inside the chamber 1. Then, external air enters the chamber 1 after being filtered by the filter plate 91. Subsequently, the gas is input into the connecting plate 13 through the exhaust port 12, and then into the connector through the exhaust pipe 14, thus enabling a sealing test on the connector. If the connector is not airtight, the gas will enter the upper body 81 and push the piston 82 and the push rod 83 upwards; otherwise, the push rod 83 will not move.
[0022] During the air intake process, the filter plate 91 filters and purifies the external air, preventing dust and impurities from entering the air pump 10 and causing damage. It also prevents dust and impurities from being blown into the connector and causing contamination. When the filter plate 91 needs to be disassembled, simply push the filter plate 91 horizontally. The filter plate 91 slides along the housing 1, and the arc surface of the slot 92 inside the filter plate 91 will press and push the retaining ball 93. The retaining ball 93 will roll into the housing 1 and push the slider 94 to slide along the fixed rod 95. The slider 94 can press the second spring 96, which can separate the retaining ball 93 from the slot 92. Then the filter plate 91 can be removed from the housing 1 for easy cleaning and maintenance.
