IEC 62196-1 Non-rewireable Accessories Mechanical Strength Flexing
Testing Apparatus for EV
Product Information:
The flexibility testing apparatus is designed and manufactured
according to requirements of IEC62196-1: 2022 clause 26.4 table 14,
IEC60309-1: 2012 clause 24.4 figure 9, etc. It is used to process
the mechanical load flexing test of the vehicle plugs,
socket-outlets and couplers non-rewireable accessories.
The equipment adopts PLC control and operated by 7-inch colour
human-machine interface, uses a servo motor to control the flexing
angle. The flexing angle, flexing speed and the test cycles can be
preset on touch screen. The test is automatically carried out
according to the set parameters. When the test times reach the
preset number of test times, the device automatically stops and
gives the test completion signal prompt. The test equipment has the
advantages of high-precision digital display, high-efficiency
digital frequency conversion, precise speed adjustment, six-digit
memory setting, multi-function modular fixture, rotating center
centering measuring tool, and built-in load which can supply load
voltage to test sample during test.
Features:
A mechanical strength flexing testing apparatus for non-rewirable
accessories is a specialized equipment used to assess the
mechanical durability and robustness of non-rewirable electrical
accessories such as plugs, sockets, connectors, or power cords.
This type of testing is conducted to evaluate the ability of these
accessories to withstand repeated bending, twisting, and flexing
movements that may occur during normal use or handling. Here are
the key features and functions typically associated with such a
testing apparatus:
Test Setup: The apparatus consists of a test setup specifically
designed to subject the non-rewirable accessory to controlled
mechanical stress. This setup typically includes fixtures, clamps,
or holders that securely hold the accessory in place while allowing
for controlled bending or flexing movements.
Flexing Mechanism: The apparatus incorporates a flexing mechanism
that applies repetitive bending or flexing movements to the
non-rewirable accessory. This mechanism may involve motorized arms
or rollers that repeatedly bend or twist the accessory according to
the specified test parameters.
Flexing Parameters: The apparatus allows for precise control and
adjustment of test parameters such as the number of flexing cycles,
flexing speed, flexing angle, and the duration of the test. These
parameters can be set according to relevant industry standards or
specific testing requirements.
Force Measurement: Some testing apparatuses include force
measurement capabilities to assess the mechanical strength of the
accessory during flexing. This may involve load cells or force
sensors that measure the forces applied to the accessory, allowing
for the evaluation of its resistance to deformation or breakage.
Visual Inspection: The apparatus provides provisions for visual
inspection of the accessory during and after the flexing test.
Observations can be made to check for any signs of damage, such as
cracks, fractures, or changes in the accessory's physical
integrity.
Compliance with Standards: A mechanical strength flexing testing
apparatus is designed to comply with relevant industry standards,
such as those specified by national or international organizations
like the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) or the
Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Compliance ensures that the testing
process follows established guidelines and provides reliable and
comparable results.
Mechanical strength flexing testing apparatuses are commonly used
by manufacturers, testing laboratories, or certification bodies to
ensure that non-rewirable electrical accessories meet the required
mechanical durability standards. By subjecting the accessories to
repetitive bending and flexing movements, these tests help assess
their ability to withstand typical usage conditions, reducing the
risk of mechanical failure or damage during operation.
