Through customized environmental variable settings, the charging gun insertion and extraction life test can truly reproduce the working status of charging piles in various climates and polluted environments. The automated collection system records the mechanical feedback data of each insertion and extraction in real time, providing quantitative analysis basis for the R&D team to establish mathematical models to predict the product life cycle. The use of programmed control mode eliminates the random errors caused by manual operation, ensures the consistency of testing conditions between different batches of samples, and meets the requirements of international standard organizations for quality control. Compared with traditional manual testing methods, automated equipment can achieve continuous and uninterrupted operation, greatly shortening the testing cycle; At the same time, reduce manpower investment and lower resource consumption during the R&D phase of the enterprise.
The measurement steps of the charging gun plug-in life testing machine are as follows:
1. Preparation stage
-Sample installation: Install the charging gun plug and corresponding socket to be tested correctly on the dedicated fixture of the testing equipment, ensuring a stable connection and accurate position, and simulating the docking state in actual use.
-Parameter setting: According to relevant standards or testing requirements, set key parameters such as insertion and extraction speed, travel distance, and test frequency in the control system of the equipment. For example, certain standards may stipulate that power plugs, vehicle plugs, etc. should be able to withstand at least 10000 test cycles.
2. Start the experiment
-Automatic operation: After starting the device, it usually completes the repeated insertion and removal of the charging gun plug in an automated manner. Some advanced devices use six axis collaborative robots to accurately perform these actions to ensure consistency and accuracy during each insertion and removal.
-Special environment simulation (if necessary): Some experiments may need to be conducted in specific environments. For example, in some testing processes, after a certain number of insertions and removals, the power plug or vehicle plug will be immersed in acid rain, saltwater simulation solution, or turbid water simulation solution, and then continue to perform insertion and removal cycles to evaluate its performance under different harsh conditions.
3. Process monitoring and recording
-Data collection: During the experiment, the equipment will automatically record the data of each insertion and extraction, including the magnitude of insertion and extraction force, electrical connection status, and other information. At the same time, operators can also observe whether there are any abnormal phenomena, such as plug deformation, poor contact, etc.
-Midway inspection (optional): In some longer cycle experiments, a midway inspection may be arranged to check whether the status of the sample meets expectations. If any problems are found, the test plan can be adjusted or the sample can be replaced in a timely manner.
4. Ending the experiment and evaluating the results
-Complete the specified number of times: Stop the test when the preset number of tests is reached. At this point, a comprehensive inspection of the charging gun plug and socket should be conducted to assess their mechanical wear and electrical performance, whether they are still within the normal range, and whether they meet the relevant quality and reliability standards.
-Data analysis: Based on all the data recorded during the experimental process, a detailed analysis is conducted to obtain a test report, which provides a basis for product improvement and quality control.
