Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive sunroof flexible shaft testing technology, and in particular relates to a device for testing the durability performance of automotive sunroof flexible shafts. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive sunroof performance testing is a standardized process for systematically evaluating the function, safety, and reliability of automotive sunroofs under various environmental and usage conditions. First, the sunroof's waterproof performance is tested to ensure no leakage under rain or high-pressure washing. Second, the sealing performance is examined to guarantee airtightness and sound insulation when closed. Next, the smoothness and response speed of the opening and closing mechanism are evaluated to avoid jamming or abnormal noise issues. Then, durability testing simulates long-term repeated operation to verify the wear resistance and service life of the sunroof components. Finally, a comprehensive inspection of safety features such as anti-pinch mechanisms, emergency closing logic, and structural integrity under extreme conditions is conducted.

[0003] However, the testing process for automotive sunroofs can only test the durability of the entire assembly. The automotive sunroof assembly consists of the front frame, motor, track, glass, and sunshade, etc. The testing process is easily affected by the manufacturing tolerances and assembly of each component, making it difficult to determine the cause of failure. In addition, the testing cycle is long and the testing cost is high. In particular, the testing process that only targets the flexible shaft cannot quickly and accurately determine the durability of the flexible shaft, which reduces the testing efficiency and is not conducive to use.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a device for testing the durability of automotive sunroof flexible shafts. Utility Model Content

The flexible shaft can be detected by two methods: the number of cycles and the elongation range. After the number of forward and reverse rotations of the gear 34 is reached, the test of the flexible shaft is completed. The test stops when the elongation of the flexible shaft reaches the set value. By simulating the product working conditions, the test achieves the goal of speed, accuracy and low cost.
