Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PLC testing, and in particular to an integrated testing tool for non-insurance type terminals of a PLC cabinet. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial automation systems, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is widely used in various automation control and monitoring tasks, and is the core component to ensure system stability and efficiency. Therefore, PLC testing is crucial to the normal operation of the entire industrial automation system. The accuracy and efficiency of the test directly affect the reliability, safety and operating cost of the system. However, the existing PLC testing process still has many limitations and technical difficulties, and needs to be improved urgently.

[0003] At present, PLC testing mainly relies on manual operation, which is complex and error-prone. First, technicians need to manually set the test program according to the specific configuration of the PLC cabinet to be tested. This process usually requires an in-depth understanding of the specifications, functions and interfaces of each PLC module to ensure that the test program can cover all possible working scenarios. However, due to the wide variety and complex configuration of PLC modules, technicians not only need to spend a lot of time setting up the test program, but also easily lead to incomplete coverage or setting errors due to negligence of details.

[0004] After the test program is set up, the tester needs to manually connect the test program with each PLC module according to the program requirements. This process is extremely challenging. Due to its complexity, it has a low fault tolerance rate. A slight mistake may lead to connection errors or missed connections, thus affecting the accuracy of the test results. This manual connection process is particularly time-consuming in actual operation, and usually requires at least two technicians to work together, which increases labor costs and operation time. At the same time, due to the large number of manual operations during the test process, any irregular operation may cause system failures, further reducing the reliability of the test.

[0005] In addition, as the scale and complexity of industrial automation systems continue to increase, traditional manual PLC testing methods can no longer meet the growing demand. During large-scale PLC system testing, problems such as low efficiency and high error rate of manual operation become more prominent, resulting in increased testing costs, longer testing cycles, and even affecting the overall progress of the project.

[0006] In summary, these defects of the existing technology seriously affect the efficiency and reliability of PLC testing, especially in industrial scenarios with increasing automation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution that can simplify the PLC testing process, improve test accuracy and efficiency, reduce reliance on manual operations, reduce the risk of errors, and save manpower and time costs, thereby improving overall testing performance and ensuring the stability and efficiency of industrial automation systems.

[0071] Implementation Method XI: Combination Figure 1-7 This embodiment is described in detail by using specific examples to further describe the technical solution provided above. Specifically:

[0072] The test terminal is fixed on the terminal to be tested by the reaction force of the spring 4 inserted into the terminal to be tested and the pulling force between the back clamp and the terminal to be tested. The contact 5 is in contact with the terminal to be tested (the spring 4 is pressed tightly), so that the terminal to be tested and the test terminal are connected.

[0073] 1. A method for implementing an integrated test fixture for non-fuse terminals of a PLC cabinet

[0074] 1.1 Material selection

[0075] The base and terminal bracket can be made of materials with excellent insulation properties, such as polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or epoxy resin composite materials, to ensure electrical isolation and avoid short circuits. The contact 5 should be made of metal materials with high conductivity and corrosion resistance, such as copper alloy or silver-plated copper, to ensure the stability and oxidation resistance of electrical contact. The spring 4 can be made of materials with good elasticity and fatigue resistance, such as stainless steel or nickel alloy.

[0076] 1.2 Structural design of non-insurance terminal 6

[0077] The base of each non-insurance terminal 6 is designed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and a through hole is provided on the side with the smallest surface area of ​​the base to accommodate the telescopic movement of the contact 5. The contact 5 is designed as a cylindrical structure, and its axial direction is parallel to the through hole, and it can telescope and move in the through hole. The contact 5 is provided with a reset force by the spring 4 inside the base, so that it can return to its original position after being pushed in, ensuring contact reliability and convenient plug-in and pull-out operations. In order to ensure the firmness of the connection between the contact 5 and the base, a thread can be designed at the bottom end of the contact 5 and screwed into the corresponding hole of the base, or fixed by a snap-on structure.

[0078] 1.3 Connection between terminal bracket and non-insurance terminal 6

[0079] The terminal bracket is designed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and its side wall is provided with multiple holes. The side wall of the non-insurance terminal 6 is provided with a corresponding protrusion, and the connection with the terminal bracket is achieved through interference fit. This design ensures the stability of the terminal during the test process and avoids loosening or deviation. At the same time, the interference fit also facilitates the removal and replacement of the non-insurance terminal 6, reducing maintenance costs.

[0080] 1.4 Reset mechanism of contact 5

[0081] The contact 5 is connected to the base through a spring 4, and the axis of the spring 4 coincides with the axis of the contact 5, ensuring that when the spring 4 is compressed, the contact 5 can be extended and retracted along the axial direction of the through hole without deflection. The elastic coefficient of the spring 4 needs to be designed according to the contact requirements and test frequency of the contact 5 to avoid fatigue or poor contact of the spring 4 after long-term use.

[0082] 1.5 chamfer design

[0083] To improve the durability of the structure, the base edge close to the contact 5 and away from the terminal support is chamfered. The chamfer can not only reduce wear during long-term use, but also prevent mechanical damage caused by operating errors or mis-plugging, thereby extending the service life of the test terminal.

[0084] 2. How to implement the back clip

[0085] 2.1 Back clip structure design

[0086] The back clip is designed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure and is detachably fixed to the side wall of the housing 1 by means of a fixing bolt.

[0087] Because the interface sequence of the PLC is fixed, during the assembly process of the PLC, the PLC interfaces may be in reverse order or in forward order. Therefore, in this embodiment, the back clamp can be flexibly adjusted on both sides of the housing 1 to ensure that no matter in which direction the test terminal is inserted, the back clamp can be fixed on the same side to achieve tensioning of the test terminal and the PLC.

[0088] The material of the back clip should be lightweight and high-strength material, such as aluminum alloy or high-strength plastic, to ensure sufficient mechanical strength and durability.

[0089] 3. Implementation method of non-insurance test plug

[0090] The design of the test plug is based on the above-mentioned PLC cabinet non-insurance terminal integrated test fixture, and the non-insurance terminal 6 is connected to the adapter through a wire, and a cable clamp is provided on the top of the housing 1 to fix the wire. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0091] The conductor is made of cable material with good conductivity and heat resistance, such as tinned copper wire, and is covered with an insulating layer. One end of the conductor is inserted through the through hole of the base and connected to the bottom of the contact 5 by welding or crimping to ensure stable conductivity and reliable contact.

[0092] The other end of the wire is connected to the adapter, and the structural design of the adapter should match the interface of the device under test to ensure a fast and stable electrical connection.

[0093] In order to further enhance the tensile strength of the plug, an anti-pull-out design should be provided at the outlet of the through hole for the wire, such as a wire fixing clip or a reinforced sleeve, to prevent the wire from accidentally falling off during use.

[0094] 4. Implementation method of PLC test cabinet

[0095] The PLC test cabinet is connected to the PLC device through the above non-insurance test plug. Multiple test sockets can be designed inside the cabinet to accommodate various types of PLC devices. The specific implementation methods of the cabinet include:

[0096] Socket design: The socket is designed to match the test plug to ensure a stable electrical connection after the plug is inserted. The conductive parts inside the socket can be made of copper alloy or other highly conductive materials, and are equipped with a spring 4 structure to ensure reliable contact with the contacts 5 of the plug.

[0097] Modular design: The cabinet can adopt modular design. The test socket, power supply module, signal acquisition module, etc. are all detachable components, which are easy to maintain and expand. The test socket can be flexibly configured according to needs to adapt to the testing of different types of PLCs.

[0098] Cable management: Reasonable cable management channels are designed inside the cabinet to ensure that the wires are arranged neatly to avoid signal interference and cable wear.

[0099] Ventilation and heat dissipation: An effective ventilation system is designed inside the cabinet to ensure that the electronic equipment maintains a suitable operating temperature during long-term testing and avoid equipment failure due to overheating.

[0100] 5. Safety and reliability design of test system

[0101] Overload protection: A PLC cabinet non-fuse terminal integrated test fixture can prevent equipment damage caused by accidental short circuit or overload by designing a current overload protection device. Thermistors or fuses can be used as overload protection devices.

[0102] Anti-misoperation design: To prevent misoperation, clear insertion directions and operation prompts are marked on the cabinet and test plug to ensure that operators use the equipment correctly.

[0103] Anti-interference design: Wires and connecting devices should have good anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities. A shielding layer can be coated on the outside of the wire, or a filtering circuit can be used to avoid inaccurate test results caused by external interference during the test process.

[0104] The technical solution provided by the present invention is further described in detail above through several specific implementation modes in order to highlight the advantages and benefits of the technical solution provided by the present invention. However, the several specific implementation modes described above are not intended to be used as limitations on the present invention. Any reasonable modification and improvement of the present invention, combination of implementation modes and equivalent substitution within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
