The invention discloses a device for detecting
short circuit of an automobile line, which relates to the technical field of automobile line detection and comprises two protective covers. A sliding groove is formed in the upper portion of an inner cavity of the protection cover, an inner cavity of the sliding groove is communicated with the inner cavity of the protection cover, the inner cavity of the sliding groove is slidably connected with a force application
assembly, one side of the force application
assembly is slidably connected with a first air
pipe, an insulating layer is placed in the inner cavity of the protection cover, and an
alligator clip is arranged in an inner cavity of the insulating layer and used for connecting lines. According to the invention, the insulating layer is placed in the inner cavity of the protective cover, and then the
alligator clip is arranged in the inner cavity of the insulating layer, so that the
alligator clip can be protected by using the protective cover and the insulating layer, and the alligator clip is moved to a specified line position by using the cooperation of the first telescopic rod
assembly and the second telescopic rod assembly at the line position where detection personnel cannot directly contact. And then the force application assembly is moved to drive the alligator clip to unfold, so that the alligator clip can be used for connecting the circuit, and then a
detector can conveniently detect the position circuit which is difficult to contact.
