IEC 60335-2-7 Durability Test Equipment For Electric Washing Machine Doors

Product Specification

IEC 60335-2-7 Durability Test Equipment For Electric Washing Machine Doors

SN1401 is a washing machine door and lid interlocking device durability test equipment designed for IEC 60335-2-7:2016 clause 18.101. It is used to test the reliability of the interlocking device of washing machine doors or lids, and to verify the opening or closing force when the interlock is actuated.

This equipment is suitable for electric tumble dryers, front-loading washing machines, and top-loading pulsator washing machines. It can also assist other repeated opening and closing tests for washing machine doors or lids during product development, quality control, and safety certification.

Applicable Standard

• IEC 60335-2-7:2016 clause 18.101

Test Applications

• Washing machine door interlocking device endurance test
• Washing machine lid interlocking device endurance test
• Door or lid opening and closing force test
• Repeated opening and closing operation for household appliance safety verification
• Reliability testing for front-loading and top-loading washing machine structures

Test Samples

• Electric tumble dryers
• Front-loading washing machines
• Top-loading pulsator washing machines
• Washing machine door or lid assemblies
• Appliance interlocking device systems

Working Principle

The on/off actions of the interlocking device are controlled by a programmed control system. The manipulators are driven by servo motors to repeatedly open and close the door or lid at a preset speed.

For door testing, the manipulator uses a vacuum suction cup to attach to the washing machine door. For lid testing, the fixture clamps the lid. A force sensor is mounted on the manipulator and forms a closed-loop control system with the servo motor, allowing accurate control of the opening or closing force value.

Technical Parameters

Equipment Structure

The equipment consists of an electrical control cabinet, load voltage regulating device, rack, and manipulator system. There are two independent test stations: one station for a drum washing machine with a front door, and one station for a pulsator washing machine with a top lid. The two workstations can conduct tests independently.
