Description

[Technical field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. CN202311001514.4, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Office on August 9, 2020, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to a connector retainer and a connector detection system including the connector retainer. [Background technology]

[0003] In the prior art, a connector housing is usually provided with an observation window for detecting the insertion depth of the connector terminal. Through the observation window, a camera can photograph the terminal disposed inside the housing, and therefore the insertion depth of the terminal can be calculated based on the photographed terminal image. To ensure that the connector remains stationary during the photographing, the connector needs to be clamped to a connector fixture and the observation window of the connector needs to be reliably facing the camera.

[0004] In the prior art, it is common to manually position and control the arrangement angle of a connector so that the observation window of the connector faces the camera. Due to the small size of the connector, it is often impossible to manually position the angle of the connector properly at one time, and as a result, the camera is unable to capture the terminal. The need for multiple attempts to repeatedly adjust the arrangement angle of the connector significantly reduces the detection efficiency and detection quality.
