Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector technology, specifically, it relates to a TMS connector calibration fixture. Background Technology
[0002] In the actual production and installation of high-voltage distribution boxes, the installation of TMS (Telemetry System) connectors is a critical step. Typically, high-voltage distribution boxes require two, three, or four TMS connectors depending on different design requirements. However, due to the inconsistencies in these connector specifications, encompassing differences in interface type, size, electrical parameters, and other aspects, errors are easily made during installation. For example, when installing two TMS connectors, operators might mistakenly install a connector that should be installed on one side onto the other. Such installation errors not only affect the normal operation of the high-voltage distribution box but can also cause serious losses to the customer. Therefore, improvement is necessary. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a TMS connector calibration fixture.

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0014] One embodiment of this application provides a TMS connector calibration fixture, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a base 1, which serves to support and fix; an installation cavity 11 is formed on the base 1, and an elongated groove 12 is provided on the base 1, the elongated groove 12 being connected to the installation cavity 11; the elongated groove 12 being perpendicular to the installation cavity 11; At least two sliders 2 are movably mounted within the mounting cavity 11; the guide block 21 of the slider 2 is movably located within the elongated groove 12; the top of the slider 2 forms an mounting space 22 for the connector connector 3 to be adapted, the mounting space 22 being located within the mounting cavity 11; the connector connector 3 is adapted to the connector on the high-voltage box, and the connector connector 3 is tested to see if it can be inserted into the connector on the high-voltage box. If it can be inserted, it means that the connector on the high-voltage box is installed in the correct direction, because different connectors have different interfaces. If it cannot be inserted, it means that the connector is installed incorrectly and needs to be checked; it should be noted that the structure of the connector connector 3 and the connector is existing known technology and will not be described in detail here; the focus of this application is: how to connect and adjust the connector connector 3 to adapt to the connector on the high-voltage box; at least two sliders 2 are spaced apart.
[0015] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the slider 2 has one or more threaded holes 23. One end of the threaded hole 23 passes through the mounting space 22, and the other end of the threaded hole 23 passes through the guide block 21. A set screw 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 23. One end of the set screw 4 moves through the mounting space 22 to tighten the connector joint 3, so that the connector joint 3 is confined within the mounting cavity 11.
[0016] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, an installation groove 24 is formed at the bottom of the installation space 22, and a clamping block 25 is installed in the installation groove 24. The clamping block 25 is made of metal. A magnetic element 26 is provided in the installation groove 24. The clamping block 25 cooperates with the magnetic element 26. The magnetic element 26 is a magnet. One end of the set screw 4 moves through the installation space 22 to overcome the magnetic attraction between the magnetic element 26 and the clamping block 25, and pushes the clamping block 25 upward, thereby confining the connector 3 within the installation cavity 11. At the same time, during disassembly, the clamping block 25 is not easily lost due to the presence of the magnetic element 26.
[0017] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the base 1 has a clearance groove 13, which is connected to the mounting cavity 11 and is used to make way for the connector joint 3, and also serves as an observation window.
[0018] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, bolt holes 14 are provided on the left and right sides of the base 1. When there are multiple bases 1, two adjacent bases 1 are connected by bolt holes 14 and bolts 15 to accommodate different numbers of connectors 3.
[0019] In this embodiment, the bottom of the slider has two threaded holes, which are fitted with two set screws. When in use, the clamp is first placed into the groove of the slider, and then the slider is placed into the base. The protruding part of the slider needs to be in the long groove of the base so that the slider can adapt to connectors with different pitches. The top of the slider has an installation space, which is a small groove, which can be used to fix the connector joint and prevent it from shaking and falling out.
[0020] After both sliders are placed inside the base, the required connector can be retrieved from the production line and installed into the sliders. Then, adjust the two sliders to the appropriate spacing and tighten the set screws on the bottom of the base to move the clamping block upwards and clamp the connector. After installation, test whether the TMS connector on the housing can be inserted. Because different TMS connectors have different interfaces, if it can be inserted, it means the TMS connector on the housing is installed correctly. If it cannot be inserted, it means the TMS connector is installed incorrectly and needs to be checked. Specifically, if a 4-connector TMS connector needs to be adapted, it can be installed in pairs through the bolt holes on both sides of the base to adapt four connectors. Figures 3-4 As shown. Additionally, magnets are embedded in the slider to attract the clamping block, reducing the risk of the clamping block being lost during disassembly.
[0021] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
