[0031] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the airtight test tool for the video cable of the present invention comprises an adapter plate 1, a sealing baffle 2, an airtight connector 3, an interface component 4, three snap-on components 5, and a glue-coated baffle 6.

[0033] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the inner side of the adapter plate 1 connected to the wall of the low-pressure test box has an annular groove 110, and an O-ring is arranged at the annular groove 110; the middle part of the inner side of the adapter plate 1 surrounded by the annular groove 110 has a square boss 120 and a wiring hole 130 for connecting the airtight connector; the edges of the boss 120 are contact surfaces 121 with the sealing baffle 2, and the middle part is processed as shown in Figs. Figure 4a The "U"-shaped labyrinth groove 122 is shown; the threading hole 123 of the adapter plate 1 is located in the middle of the boss 120; the entrance 1221 of the labyrinth groove 122 is located at the edge of the boss 120, and the exit 1222 is located at the threading hole 123; the wiring hole 130 is located above the boss 120, and has grooves 131 on the right side corresponding to the airtight rubber pad on the airtight connector 3.

[0034] The boss 120 may also be in a rectangular, circular or other shapes.

[0035] The labyrinth groove 122 can also be used as follows Figure 4b The serpentine, spiral or other shapes shown may be used.

[0036] The wiring hole 130 may also be located below the boss 120 or at other locations.

[0037] The middle section of the video cable 7 is coiled in the labyrinth groove 122, one end of which passes through the entrance 1221 to connect to the visible light camera to be tested arranged inside the low-pressure test box, and the other end passes through the threading hole 123 to connect to the external display and power supply; the labyrinth groove is filled with sealant and the top surface of the sealant is flush with the contact surface 121 of the boss 120, which is used to encapsulate the middle section of the video cable 7.

[0038] Considering that the sealant in the labyrinth groove 122 cannot withstand the high pressure difference of nearly 100Kpa between the inside and the outside, a sealing baffle 2 is manufactured. Figure 6 As shown, the sealing baffle 2 has an annular sealing groove 210 at a position corresponding to the contact surface 121, and an O-ring is arranged in the sealing groove 210; the sealing baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the contact surface 121 of the boss 120 by a plurality of screws near the edge; in this way, only a small part of the sealant will be subjected to the pressure difference, and most of the pressure difference will be borne by the sealing baffle made of metal, so as to achieve the sealing of the video cable.

[0039] The middle section of the video cable 7 is coiled in the labyrinth groove 122 and sealed with sealant, which can increase resistance and prevent the video cable from moving from high pressure to low pressure, thereby generating gaps and causing air leakage.

[0040] The video cable 7 is an HDMI video cable, a VGA video cable, a DVI video cable, an AV video cable, an SDI video cable, etc.

[0041] The sealing baffle can be made of hard metal materials such as stainless steel to ensure that it will not deform under high pressure difference.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the right side of the adapter plate 1 has an A-shaped groove 140 near the edge.

[0043] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a cylindrical interface member 4 is welded and fixed on the wall of the low pressure test box; the right end of the interface member 4 has a flange 410, and the left side of the flange 410 has a B annular groove 411.

[0044] The adapter plate 1 is connected by three clamping components 5 distributed around; the clamping component 5 is composed of a left clamp 510, a right clamp 520 and a locking nut 530; the left part of the left clamp 510 has an A clamping protrusion 511 facing the right, and the A clamping protrusion 511 is clamped in the B annular groove 411; the right part of the left clamp 510 is a screw; the right part of the right clamp 520 has a B clamping protrusion 521, and the B clamping protrusion 521 is clamped in the A annular groove 140; the screw on the right part of the left clamp 510 passes through the through hole of the right clamp 520 and is connected with the locking nut 530; by rotating the locking nut, the left clamp 510 and the right clamp 520 can clamp the adapter plate 1 and the interface member 4 together and squeeze the O-ring at the annular groove 110 on the left side of the adapter plate 1 to achieve a sealing effect.

[0045] The adapter plate 1 can also be directly welded and fixed to the wall of the low pressure test box.

[0046] The adapter plate 1 can also be fixed to the interface member 4 by welding or by flange connection.

[0047] Since the exit 1222 of the labyrinth groove 122 is located at the threading hole 123, the glue is easy to flow out directly from the threading hole 123 when the sealant is poured, affecting the sealing effect. Therefore, the present invention uses a glue-coating baffle 6 to block the glue. Figure 7 As shown, the glue-coated baffle 6 is composed of a left baffle 610 and a right baffle 620; after the video line passes through the threading hole 123, the left baffle 610 and the right baffle 620 are spliced ​​together and fixed to the right side of the adapter plate by screw connection; the semicircular notches on the opposite sides of the left baffle 610 and the right baffle 620 are spliced ​​into a through hole 630, and the aperture of the through hole 630 is slightly larger than the diameter of the video line, which is used for the video line to pass through. The left baffle 610 and the right baffle 620 can limit the glue from flowing out before the sealant is completely dry.

[0048] The airtight connector 3 is as follows Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the left part of the airtight connector 3 is inserted into the wiring hole 130 and fixedly connected to the adapter plate 1 by screws. The side of the left part of the airtight connector that contacts the adapter plate 1 has an airtight rubber pad, which is located in the groove 131 to achieve an airtight effect. The airtight connector 3 is used to power the visible light camera to be tested in the low pressure test box and send instructions.

[0049] Place the visible light camera to be tested in the low-pressure test box, connect the visible light camera to be tested and the high-definition display and power supply through a video cable; then the working status of the visible light camera to be tested in the experiment can be observed.
