Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of multi-core cable testing, and more specifically, to a multi-core cable testing system and a testing device.

Background Art

[0002] Multi-core cables are commonly used for short-distance power transmission and data transmission. With the gradual improvement of the automation level of equipment, the usage rate of multi-core cables in large equipment such as ships, aircraft, satellites, spacecraft, and vehicles is gradually increasing. The number of cores in multi-core cables can reach several hundred, and the connection relationship between the cable cores is complex. Workers are prone to faults such as wrong soldering, short circuit, and missed soldering during the production process. Therefore, after the cable is manufactured, workers need to measure each wire one by one through an LCR testing device (an LCR tester is an electronic testing device used to measure the inductance L, capacitance C, and resistance R of electronic components), or use an insulation resistance tester to test the insulation resistance between two cores, that is, it is necessary to test the insulation resistance between core 1 and cores 2 to N respectively, and between core 2 and cores 1, 3 to N respectively.

[0003] These two types of tests will increase exponentially with the increase in the number of cable cores. Manual detection has problems such as a large workload, low efficiency, time-consuming, and laborious. Therefore, an automatic testing system is urgently needed to solve such problems to ensure the quality of products.

[0004] Currently, the testing technology for multi-core cables on the market mainly targets the commercial market and mainly has the following problems:

[0005] First, the number of core interfaces of cable testers is generally small, and the scalability is not strong, which cannot meet the growing cable testing needs.

[0006] Second, the insulation resistance test circuit of the testing system usually uses fixed insulation voltage test conditions, and the test voltage generally does not exceed 100V, and it is not well applicable to the insulation resistance test conditions of 500VAC for military cables.

[0034] To better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a test system for multi-core cables, including a test device, a conduction resistance tester, and an insulation resistance tester.

[0037] The test device is used to test the state of each core wire of the multi-core cable for conduction resistance or insulation resistance.

[0038] Both the conduction resistance tester and the insulation resistance tester are dedicated test instruments. The system controls the test instruments to perform function detection through instructions, and the accuracy of the data is high.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, the test device includes a power supply circuit, a main control microprocessor, a human-computer interaction circuit, an alarm circuit, a serial-to-parallel drive circuit, a conduction / insulation resistance detection circuit, and a detection device communication circuit.

[0040] The power supply circuit provides a constant current source, and supplies power to the main control microprocessor, the human-computer interaction circuit, the alarm circuit, the serial-to-parallel drive circuit, the conduction / insulation resistance detection circuit, and the detection device communication circuit respectively.

[0041] The power supply circuit includes a power input interface and a DC-to-DC buck voltage regulator circuit. The power input interface is used to input a DC power supply of 12V - 24V; the DC-to-DC buck voltage regulator circuit is used to convert the DC voltage of 12V - 24V into the voltages required for the normal operation of the USB-to-serial port circuit, the main control microprocessor, the human-computer interaction circuit, the alarm circuit, the serial-to-parallel driver circuit, the conduction / insulation resistance detection circuit, and the detection device communication circuit respectively.

[0042] The main control microprocessor is used for data processing and instruction control of the test system, and is respectively connected to the human-computer interaction circuit, the alarm circuit, the serial-to-parallel driver circuit, the USB-to-serial port circuit, and the detection device communication circuit; the serial-to-parallel driver circuit is also connected to the conduction / insulation resistance detection circuit.

[0043] The serial-to-parallel driver circuit is used for expanding the number of core wires of the test cable.

[0044] The conduction / insulation resistance detection circuit is used to perform switching actions on the connection relationships of each core wire in the circuit during the test process, and control each core wire to be in a conduction state or in an insulation resistance detection state.

[0045] The human-computer interaction circuit is used to receive operation instructions from the test personnel and display the main information of the intelligent sensor, facilitating the test personnel to observe the information.

[0046] The alarm circuit is mainly used for alarming when an abnormal state occurs during the automatic test process. The alarm circuit is an audible and visual alarm circuit.

[0047] All the above functional circuit modules of the test device are designed on the same double-sided patch circuit board. The manufacturing process can be as follows: First, through soldering techniques such as SMT, solder the electronic components of each circuit functional module onto the circuit board; finally, fix the circuit board to the corresponding housing.

[0048] Such as Figure 3As shown, the conduction / insulation resistance detection circuit includes a conduction resistance tester connection terminal J1, an insulation resistance tester connection terminal J2, a first multi-core cable connection terminal J3, a second multi-core cable connection terminal J4, and double-pole double-throw relays Ki, where i = 1, 2... n, and n is determined by the number of core wires to be measured; any double-pole double-throw relay Ki includes two power supply connection terminals, two normally open static contacts, two normally closed static contacts, and two moving contacts. The power supply connection terminals are connected to the power supply circuit. The two normally open static contacts are connected to the conduction resistance tester connection terminal J1. One end of the two normally closed static contacts is connected to the insulation resistance tester connection terminal J2, and the other end of the insulation resistance tester connection terminal J2 is connected to a port of the conduction resistance tester J1. The two moving contacts are respectively connected to the first multi-core cable connection terminal J3 and the second multi-core cable connection terminal J4.

[0049] The conduction resistance tester connection terminal J1 is connected to the conduction resistance tester, and the insulation resistance tester connection terminal J2 is connected to the insulation resistance tester.

[0050] When the double-pole double-throw relay K1 is energized and closed, the conduction resistance detected at the conduction resistance tester connection terminal J1 is the conduction resistance of core wire 1, and the insulation resistance detected at the insulation resistance tester connection terminal J2 is the insulation resistance between core wire 1 and core wires (2 - N). When the double-pole double-throw relay K2 is energized and closed, the conduction resistance detected at the conduction resistance tester connection terminal J1 is the conduction resistance of core wire 2, and the insulation resistance detected at the insulation resistance tester connection terminal J2 is the insulation resistance between core wire 2 and core wires (1, 3 - N). According to this rule, the conduction resistance and insulation resistance of all core wires can be detected.

[0051] As Figure 4 shown, the serial-to-parallel drive circuit includes an IN port P1, an OUT port P2, a shift register U8, a drive chip U9, decoupling and filtering capacitors C29, C30, and current-limiting resistors R1 to R5;

[0054] The shift register U8 is used to implement serial-to-parallel logic and uses a 74HC595 chip. The output terminals Q0 to Q7 of the 74HC595 chip are respectively connected to the input terminals IN1 to IN8 of the driver chip U9. The input terminals DS, OE, RCK, SCK, and SCLS are respectively connected to current-limiting resistors R1 to R5. The current-limiting resistors R1 to R5 are used for current-limiting of the input terminals DS, OE, RCK, SCK, and SCLS of U8 to ensure that the input ports of U8 will not be damaged.

[0055] The driver chip U9 is used to increase the driving power and ensure the accurate operation of the executing component, and uses a ULN2803 chip. The power supply of the driver chip U9 uses a relay that can drive a voltage higher than 5V. This relay can select the double-pole double-throw relay in the on / off insulation resistance detection circuit.

[0056] The decoupling and filtering capacitor C29 performs decoupling and filtering for the shift register U8.

[0057] The decoupling and filtering capacitor C30 performs decoupling and filtering for the driver chip U9.

[0058] The decoupling and filtering circuits C29 and C30 can effectively prevent the main control microprocessor from being affected when the relay is energized.

[0059] As Figure 5 shown, among them, the test system can be used alone or in conjunction with the host computer. Thus, the software program compiled by the design can be downloaded from the USB port of the host computer to the main control microprocessor on the circuit board, and data can be uploaded to the host computer for further processing.

[0060] As Figure 6 shown, the test device further includes a USB-to-serial circuit for connecting to the host computer. The USB-to-serial circuit is used to download the compiled system software to the microprocessor and is used for data interaction with the host computer in subsequent use.

[0061] The USB-to-serial circuit includes a chip input port USB1, a fuse F1, an electrostatic protection chip U5, a communication conversion chip U6, a low-pass filter, a serial port data external interface P3, and a serial port output high-level selection circuit.

[0062] The positive power supply pin VUBS of the chip input port USB1 is connected to the host computer through the fuse F1, which is used for USB port short-circuit protection to prevent the USB port of the host computer from being damaged due to excessive power consumption of the circuit board; it is used for USB port short-circuit protection to prevent the USB port of the host computer from being damaged due to excessive power consumption of the circuit board.

[0063] The signals of the D+ and D- pins of the chip input port USB1 are respectively connected to the communication conversion chip U6 through the electrostatic protection chip U5 and the low-pass filter; U5 is used for electrostatic protection of the chip USB input port, and the communication conversion chip U6 is used for communication conversion from USB to serial port. The low-pass filter consists of R14 and C25 and R15 and C26, and is used to improve the communication anti-interference ability.

[0064] The communication conversion chip U6 is also respectively connected to the serial port data external interface P3 and the serial port output high-level selection circuit.

[0065] The serial port output high-level selection circuit consists of R12 and R13, and is used for the selection of the serial port output high level. Only one of the resistors R12 and R13 can be used.

[0066] As Figure 7 shown, the test process and test principle of the test system in this embodiment are as follows:
