Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire testing technology, specifically to an arc-cutting resistant device for aviation wires and its testing method. Background Technology
[0002] Aviation wires are mainly used in aviation, aerospace, satellites and aircraft due to their light weight, high temperature resistance and high wear resistance. Before application, the arc resistance performance of the insulation of aviation wires needs to be tested.
[0003] Patent document CN113926959A discloses a wire and cable cutting device, which includes a support plate, a connecting frame, a first connecting shaft, and bushings. The connecting frame is installed on the rear side of the support plate, and the first connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the connecting frame. Bushings are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first connecting shaft. The operator can wind the wire and cable onto the bushings, and the wire and cable can be automatically fed under the guidance of pulleys and the transmission of a flat belt, without the need for manual pulling and feeding. The operator can control the height of the rodless cylinder to raise and lower according to different needs of the wire and cable, so that the cutter and the clamping plate cooperate to cut the wire and cable to the corresponding fixed length.
[0004] In existing arc-resistant cutting testing devices for aviation wires, the mechanical cutting device is complex to manufacture, and its mechanical stop needs to be adjusted frequently to accommodate different test pieces. Its spring structure struggles to maintain long-term elasticity, and the cutting table, supported by a metal pillar, wobbles during high-speed cutting due to component clearance issues. This requires additional operator intervention to stabilize the cutting process. Furthermore, it can only cut cable trays of the same specifications, and the cutting head is too high to be adjusted, resulting in incomplete cuts at the lower end when cutting smaller wire harnesses. Therefore, it is necessary to design an arc-resistant cutting device and testing method for aviation wires. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an arc-resistant cutting device and testing method for aviation wires. It employs a crank-slider mechanism to convert the rotation of the fixed base into the linear movement of the slide table. The eccentricity of the connecting rod is adjusted by a screw and an adjusting slider, thereby regulating the cutting stroke. A laser sensor and a light target provide real-time feedback on the cutting depth of the wire harness under test. The cutting blade is adjusted to a suitable height based on the wire harness under test, with the cooperation of a guide post and a linear bearing. Through the coordinated design of the drive assembly and the cutting assembly, the cutting of aviation wires is achieved, effectively improving the cutting accuracy and efficiency of the wire harness under test.

[0008] Preferably, the drive motor drives the fixed base to rotate, and the eccentric distance of the connecting rod is adjusted by the screw and the adjusting slider. With the cooperation of the screw and the connecting rod, the rotational motion of the fixed base is converted into the linear sliding of the slide table on the slide rail, adjusting the cutting blade to above the wire harness to be tested. The cutting blade is slidably connected to the guide post through the guide block and adjusted to a suitable height according to the specifications of the wire harness to be tested. During cutting, the laser sensor and the light target provide real-time feedback on the cutting depth of the wire harness to be tested.

[0014] S1. Input the parameter data of the wire harness to be tested into the host computer system and obtain the maximum cutting depth △H;
[0015] S2. In the cutting assembly, the laser beam of the laser sensor is projected onto the light target. When the cutting blade cuts the wire bundle to be tested, the guide block slides on the guide post through the linear bearing.

[0016] S3. The host computer obtains the initial position data H1 of the laser sensor;
[0017] S4. Start the cutting device, drive the motor to rotate the fixed seat, and then the fixed seat drives the slide table to slide back and forth on the slide rail through the connecting rod, so that the cutting blade cuts the wire harness to be tested under the gravity of the counterweight.
[0018] S5. During the cutting operation, the host computer monitors the real-time position data H2 of the laser sensor and compares it with the initial position data H1 to obtain the current cutting depth △H. 1 Specifically:
[0019] △H 1 =|H2-H1|;
[0020] Determine the current cutting depth △H 1 Has the maximum limit △H been reached? If the current cutting depth △H 1 If the current cutting depth is less than the maximum limit △H, the cutting blade continues to cut the wire harness under test; if the current cutting depth △H 1 If the value is greater than or equal to the maximum limit △H, the cutting operation is stopped, a stop command is sent to the host computer, and the current cutting depth is marked as the maximum cutting depth value.

The terminal blocks 3 are provided with positive terminal 31 and negative terminal 32. The positive terminal 31 and negative terminal 32 are respectively connected to the wire harness 5 to be tested through wires. The wire harness 5 to be tested is located below the cutting blade 206.

[0039] S5. During the cutting operation, the host computer monitors the real-time position data H2 of the laser sensor 209 and compares it with the initial position data H1 to obtain the current cutting depth △H. 1 Specifically:
[0040] △H 1 =|H2-H1|;
[0041] Determine the current cutting depth △H 1 Has the maximum limit △H been reached? If the current cutting depth △H 1 If the current cutting depth is less than the maximum limit △H, then the cutting blade 206 continues to cut the wire harness 5 to be tested; if the current cutting depth △H 1 If the value is greater than or equal to the maximum limit △H, the cutting operation is stopped, a stop command is sent to the host computer, and the current cutting depth is marked as the maximum cutting depth value.
[0042] The following describes the arc-resistant cutting device for aviation wires and its testing method of the present invention in further detail with reference to embodiments:
[0043] The test method for the arc-cut resistant device for aviation wires of the present invention is described below:
[0044] This test requires that the maximum cutting depth not exceed 1 / 2 of the diameter of the wire harness 5 under test, and the minimum cutting stroke required for the test is 15mm. Adjust the screw 13, drive the motor 11 to drive the fixed seat 12 to rotate, and the slide table 201 moves a distance greater than 15mm on the slide rail 202. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the screw 13 is fixed on the fixed seat 12 by the locking part 15.

[0046] S2. According to the specifications of the wire harness 5 to be tested, place an adjustment shim with a thickness of 1 / 2 the diameter of the wire gauge (thickness accuracy of 0.2mm) below the stop position. The laser beam of the laser sensor 209 in the cutting assembly 2 is projected onto the light target 208. When the cutting blade 206 cuts the wire harness 5 to be tested, the guide block 205 slides on the guide post 203 through the linear bearing 204.

[0049] During the cutting operation, the host computer monitors the real-time position data H2 of the laser sensor 209 and compares it with the initial position data H1 to obtain the current cutting depth △H1, specifically: △H1=|H2-H1|. It then determines whether the current cutting depth △H1 has reached the maximum limit △H. If the current cutting depth △H1 is less than the maximum limit △H, the cutting blade 206 continues to cut the wire harness 5 to be tested. If the current cutting depth △H1 is greater than or equal to the maximum limit △H, the cutting operation is stopped, a stop command is sent to the host computer, and the current cutting depth is marked as the maximum cutting depth value.

A crank-slider mechanism converts the rotation of the fixed base 12 into linear movement of the slide table 201. The eccentricity of the connecting rod 16 is adjusted by the screw 13 and the adjusting slider 14, thereby regulating the cutting stroke. The cutting depth of the test piece is detected by the laser sensor 209 and the optical target 208. The cutting blade 206 is adjusted to a suitable height according to the wire harness 5 under test, with the cooperation of the guide post 203 and the linear bearing 204. Through the coordinated arrangement of the drive assembly 1 and the cutting assembly 2, automatic cutting of the wire harness 5 under test is achieved, effectively improving the cutting accuracy and efficiency of the wire harness 5 under test.
