[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-2 The specific implementation adopts the following technical solution: a portable multi-terminal short circuit detection device based on relay logic circuit, including a control box body 1, wherein a power module is provided in the control box body 1, the power module adopts a DC power supply 2, the DC power supply 2 is converted through a 220V AC input power supply, the DC power supply 2 is connected to a detection circuit 3, the detection circuit 3 is connected to an output module, the output module adopts an audible and visual alarm module 4, the detection circuit 3 is also connected to an input interface and an operation module, the input interface adopts a DB9 quick-connect female connector, and the operation module adopts a foot switch 5.

[0030] It is worth noting that the detection circuit 3 includes a main detection circuit 31, which is connected to the power supply module and then connected to the audible and visual alarm circuit 33 via a delay module 32; the delay module 32 is an intelligent time relay.

[0031] It is worth noting that the main detection circuit 31 includes a DC solid-state relay, an intermediate relay, an intelligent time relay, and an audible and visual alarm module. The solid-state relays are respectively set between each pair of terminals. The intelligent time relay is connected to the foot switch 5. The intelligent time relay is used to receive the foot switch signal and has an internal delay time of 0.6 seconds to control the duration of the detection result. The intermediate relays are connected in parallel with the DC solid-state relay and the audible and visual alarm module.

[0032] In addition, the aforementioned audible and visual alarm module triggers an alarm when a short circuit occurs by broadcasting "Test short circuit" via voice, and maintains a flashing red light and a buzzer alarm state until the test product is disconnected.

[0033] A portable multi-terminal short-circuit detection method includes the following steps:

[0034] 1. Insert the test plug corresponding to the number of terminals of the product under test into the DB9 quick-connect female connector of the control box. After inserting the test plug, step on the foot switch to start the test.

[0035] 2. If there is no short circuit between the terminals, the green light will immediately illuminate and remain on for 0.6 seconds, and a voice announcement will be made saying "Test passed" once.

[0036] 3. If a short circuit exists between terminals, a voice announcement of "Test short circuit" will be triggered immediately, and the red light will flash and the buzzer will continue to sound an alarm until the test product is disconnected;

[0037] 4. The system will automatically reset after the test is completed, ready for the next test.

[0039] Example 1: Refer to Figure 3-4 A portable multi-terminal short-circuit detection device based on relay logic circuitry, the circuit of which includes a power supply module (such as...) Figure 4 As shown), the power supply module converts 220V AC to 24V DC and also includes a main detection circuit: DC solid-state relay coils (K1-K5 voltage range 3-32V) are connected in series between terminals, and the alarm circuit is connected in series in the normally open contacts of each relay. If any one or more DC solid-state relays lose power and open circuit, it will cause one or more normally open contacts of DC solid-state relays to open, causing the intermediate relay K6 to lose power; Delay module: The foot switch triggers the intelligent time relay T1, delays the control, and determines the output result; Audible and visual alarm module: The normally open and normally closed contacts of the intermediate relay K6 are connected in parallel to the normally open contact of the intelligent module time relay T1, which respectively control the green indicator light warning, the voice module test pass broadcast, the red light flashing, the buzzer alarm, and the voice module test short circuit broadcast.
