[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0026] A flexible flat cable testing fixture includes an adjustment component 1, a testing component 2, a base 3, a connecting seat 4, and a connector body 5. The adjustment component 1 is disposed on the top of the base 3, the testing component 2 is disposed inside the adjustment component 1, the connecting seat 4 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base 3, and the connector body 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting seat 4.

[0027] The adjustment assembly 1 includes a connecting frame 101, an adjustment seat 102, an adjustment rod 103, and a motor 104. The connecting frame 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment seat 102. The adjustment seat 102 is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjustment rod 103. The adjustment rod 103 is rotatably connected to the inside of the base 3. The motor 104 is fixedly connected to the front side of the adjustment rod 103.

[0028] In this embodiment: the connector body 5 connects the connector ends of the flexible flat cable and includes a tension sensor to test the tensile force of the flexible flat cable. The adjustment component 1 connects the test component 2 and allows for front-to-back adjustment of the test component 2, thus testing the tensile properties of the flexible flat cable. The test component 2 enables quick connection of flexible flat cables of different sizes and shapes, and its compressive strength can be detected by compression. The connecting frame 101 connects the adjusting seat 102 and allows for front-to-back adjustment of the connecting frame 101. The adjusting rod 103, a threaded rod, connects to the threaded hole on the front of the adjusting seat 102. The motor 104 drives the adjusting rod 103 to rotate.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the test assembly 2 includes an electric telescopic rod 201, which is fixedly connected to the top inside the connecting frame 101. A compression plate 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 201. A connector 203 is snapped into the bottom of the compression plate 202. A plug plate 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the connector 203. Limiting bolts 205 are bolted to the front and rear sides of the plug plate 204.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a pressure sensor 206 and a telescopic component 207 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 101, and a connecting plate 208 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic component 207.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a snap-fit ​​member 209 is snapped onto the top of the connecting plate 208, a snap-fit ​​plate 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the snap-fit ​​member 209, and a pressure rod 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 208.

[0032] In this embodiment: the electric telescopic rod 201 allows for the connection, lifting, and adjustment of the extrusion plate 202. The extrusion plate 202 also connects to the connector 203. The connector 203 is a conventional device for connecting flexible flat cables. The insertion plate 204, used in conjunction with the limiting bolt 205, effectively limits and fixes the connector 203 to the bottom of the extrusion plate 202. The pressure sensor 206 monitors the extrusion force. The telescopic component 207, which is an existing telescopic rod with a built-in fixed torsion spring, provides a buffering effect. The connecting plate 208 connects the snap-fit ​​component 209. The snap-fit ​​component 209 is an existing device that can snap and limit the connection of the flexible flat cable, thus facilitating the insertion and fixing of the connector 203 onto the flexible flat cable. The snap-fit ​​plate 210 snaps the connecting plate 208. The pressure rod 211 presses against the pressure sensor 206.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a slot 6 is provided on the top of the extrusion plate 202, and the inner wall of the slot 6 is inserted into the surface of the insert plate 204.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting frame 101 has sliding grooves 7 on both sides inside, and the inner wall of the sliding grooves 7 is slidably connected to both sides of the extrusion plate 202.

[0035] In this embodiment: the slot 6 can be used to insert the insert plate 204, and the slide 7 can be used to limit the sliding connection of the extrusion plate 202.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the connecting frame 101 is provided with a connecting groove 8, and the inner wall of the connecting groove 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the electric telescopic rod 201.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a fixing groove 9 is provided at the bottom of the inside of the connecting bracket 101, and the inner wall of the fixing groove 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure sensor 206.

[0038] In this embodiment: the connecting groove 8 can be used to connect and fix the electric telescopic rod 201, and the fixing groove 9 can be used to fix and connect the pressure sensor 206.

[0039] Working principle: First, connect the connector end of the flexible flat cable to the connector body 5. Then, select the appropriate plug-in 203 and snap-fit ​​209. Snap-fit ​​209 is snapped and fixed to the top of the connecting plate 208 via the snap-fit ​​plate 210. Then, the plug-in 203 is fixed to the bottom of the compression plate 202 via the plug-in plate 204 and the limiting bolt 205. The flexible flat cable can then be placed on top of the snap-fit ​​209. Through the appropriate snap-fit ​​limiting, the plug-in 203 can be accurately inserted into the plug end of the flexible flat cable. Then, the electric telescopic rod 201 can be opened via the control panel on the left side of the connecting frame 101, causing the electric telescopic rod 201 to drive the plug-in... The connector 203 moves downward and connects to the flexible flat cable connector at the top of the snap connector 209 for pressure testing. By observing the data of the flexible flat cable displayed on the connector body 5 in real time, the displayed data will become disordered when the pressure reaches the limit of the flexible flat cable. The limit pressure that the flexible flat cable can withstand is determined based on the pressure data. Then, when testing the tensile performance, the motor 104 is turned on, which drives the adjusting rod 103 to rotate, thereby adjusting the adjusting seat 102 back and forth and stretching the flexible flat cable. The tensile performance of the flexible flat cable can be effectively tested by the tension sensor built into the connector body 5.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
