Detailed Implementation

[0018] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0019] A wire harness airtightness testing fixture, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a base 1 and several fixture modules disposed on the top of the base 1. Each fixture module includes a base 2 detachably connected to the top of the base 1, an upper mold 3 and a lower mold 4 disposed on the top of the base 2. The lower mold 4 is detachably connected to the top of the base 2 by bolts. The upper mold 3 is vertically connected to the upper part of the lower mold 4. The top of the lower mold 4 has a workstation 41 for accommodating products. The bottom of the upper mold 3 has a recess 31 that mates with the workstation 41. The recess 31 communicates with the workstation 41 to form a testing chamber. One side of the lower mold 4 is connected to an air pipe connector 42. The inner side wall of the workstation 41 has a vent hole that communicates with the air pipe connector 42. The side wall of the workstation 41 away from the vent hole has a clearance groove 44 for wire harnesses to pass through. The lower mold 4 has a sealing groove 43 on its top. The station 41 is located inside the sealing groove 43. The sealing groove 43 communicates with the recess 31. The end of the wire harness is provided with a sealing element that mates with the sealing groove 43. When the end of the wire harness is flipped into the sealing groove 43, the wire harness terminal is accommodated in the station 41. The sealing element fits into the sealing groove 43, and the upper half of the sealing element extends out of the sealing groove 43. After the upper mold 3 is pressed down, the upper half of the sealing element is located in the recess 31 and abuts against the bottom wall of the recess 31. The sealing component completes the sealing of the entire detection chamber, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the airtightness test; the relief groove 44 is open along the axis and its open part is provided with a limiting component 5. The limiting component 5 is made of plastic material and has a clamping groove 51 for clamping the outer peripheral wall of the wire harness. The wire harness is placed in the relief groove 44 and extends into the clamping groove 51. The clamping groove 51 is used to stabilize the wire harness in the corresponding position and prevent the wire harness from tilting up when the upper mold 3 is pressed down, which would affect the overall detection accuracy. A support frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 2 on one side of the lower mold 4. A support plate 61 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 6 by bolts. A cylinder 611 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 61. A lower pressure plate 612 is set through the channel end of the cylinder 611 through the support plate 61. The upper mold 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower pressure plate 612 by bolts. The cylinder 611 drives the lower pressure plate 612 to press down, causing the upper mold 3 to approach the lower mold 4, thus completing the pressing of the product. There are guide columns 21 symmetrically arranged between the support plate 61 and the base 2. The guide columns 21 pass through the lower pressure plate 612. A guide sleeve 22 that slides with the guide column 21 is fixedly connected to the lower pressure plate 612 by bolts. The setting of the guide column 21 ensures the guiding effect of the lower pressure plate 612, restricts the movement trajectory of the lower pressure plate 612, and makes the movement of the lower pressure plate 612 more stable. A positioning rail 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 along its length. A positioning groove is provided at the bottom of the base 2 to slide with the positioning rail 11. The positioning rail 11 ensures the corresponding positions of adjacent bases 2. When airtightness testing of the wire harness ends is required, two fixture modules are used, with adjacent fixture modules mirror-imaged. The terminals at both ends of the wire harness can be placed into the testing chambers of the fixture modules to complete the testing. The positioning rail 11 and positioning groove ensure the symmetry of the two fixture modules, thereby ensuring the symmetry of the testing chambers within the two fixture modules. The base 2 is detachably mounted on the top of the base 1, allowing control of the spacing between adjacent fixture modules. This accommodates wire harnesses of different specifications and prevents bending of the wire harness, which could affect its performance. Quality inspection: The lower mold 4 has countersunk holes arranged in an array at its four corners. The base 2 has a positioning threaded hole that communicates with the countersunk holes. The lower mold 4 is fixedly connected to the countersunk holes by positioning bolts. The upper mold 3 has a mounting hole on the side away from the recess 31, which is on the same straight line as the central axis of the positioning threaded groove, ensuring the positioning effect of the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 4, thereby ensuring the inspection accuracy. The base 2 has several waist-shaped countersunk holes 23 arranged in an array. The top of the base 1 has several fixing holes arranged in an array along its length. The fixing holes communicate with the waist-shaped countersunk holes 23. Bolts pass through the waist-shaped countersunk holes 23 and are fixedly connected to the fixing holes, so that the base 2 can be detachably connected to the top of the base 1. The position of the base 2 on the top of the base 1 can be adjusted, thereby improving the applicability of the overall inspection fixture.

[0020] Working principle: When single-end testing of the wire harness is required, multiple fixture modules are set and arrayed on the top of the base 1. During testing, the wire harness end is inverted into the sealing groove 43 of the lower mold 4, and the wire harness terminal is accommodated in the station 41. The seal is in contact with the sealing groove 43, and the upper part of the seal extends out of the sealing groove 43. After the upper mold 3 is pressed down, the upper part of the seal is located in the recess 31 and abuts against the bottom wall of the recess 31. The seal is used to seal the entire testing chamber. The wire harness is placed in the relief groove 44 and extends into the clamping groove 51. The clamping groove 51 is used to stabilize the wire harness in the corresponding position, ensuring the stability of the wire harness placement and thus ensuring the testing accuracy. After the test is completed, the air pipe connector 42 is used to connect to the air tightness testing device for ventilation to complete the entire air tightness test. When it is necessary to test the two ends of the wire harness, the number of fixture modules is set to an even number. When installing the lower mold 4, the lower molds 4 in the two fixture modules are set symmetrically. The two ends of the wire harness are put into the lower mold 4 and the upper mold 3 is pressed down. Then, the airtightness testing device is used for testing, which expands the applicability of the overall testing fixture.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
