Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cables, and in particular relates to an equipment and a method for detecting defects in the buffer layer of power cables. Background Art
[0002] In the cable structure, the cable buffer layer is an important layer located between the conductor and the insulating layer. It is mainly used to protect the cable insulating layer from external physical damage and chemical corrosion. The test of the influencing factors of the cable buffer layer defects refers to testing the buffer layer of the conductive cable to determine the factors that may affect the quality and performance of the buffer layer. Through these tests, the quality and performance of the buffer layer material can be traced, potential defect problems can be discovered in time, and corresponding measures can be taken to ensure the quality and reliability of the cable.
[0003] The existing equipment for detecting defects in the buffer layer of power cables can only test one influencing factor of the cable buffer layer. While being inefficient, it cannot detect the relationship between two or more influencing factors, resulting in low practicality.

Specific embodiments
[0033] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment 1
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-3, A power cable buffer layer defect detection device, including a base 1.

Outer walls of the two rotating rods 5 are fixedly sleeved with rotating gears 8. Inside the inner wall of the support plate 3, grooves 9 matching the rotating gears 8 are formed. Inside the grooves 9, racks 10 matching the rotating gears 8 are fixedly arranged. The rotating gears 8 are meshed with the racks 10. On the outer wall of the dual-axis motor 4 far from the support plate 3, a bent rod 11 is fixedly connected. On the outer wall of the bent rod 11, a limiting mechanism 12 is fixedly connected. The limiting mechanism 12 is connected with the inner wall of the support plate 3. The dual-axis motor 4 can provide power to drive the rotation of the rotating gears 8, thereby driving the operation of the entire device. The dual-axis motor 4 has characteristics such as fast startup and stable rotation speed, and can provide stable power output. The engagement connection between the dual-axis motor 4 driving the rotating gears 8 and the racks 10 can realize the movement of the bent rod 11. Through the movement of the rotating gears 8 on the racks 10, the bent rod 11 can move horizontally upward to bend the cable. This mechanical linkage design enables the device to have high rotation accuracy and stability. The bent rod 11 plays a role in connecting the cable and the device, and bends the cable through horizontal upward movement. Embodiment 2
[0035] Please refer to Figure 2-8, this embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: The limiting mechanism 12 includes a sliding groove 110 fixedly opened on the inner wall of the support plate 3. A slider 111 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 110. A limiting plate 112 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bent rod 11. A buffer spring 113 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 112. One end of the buffer spring 113 away from the limiting plate 112 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 114. One end of the bent rod 11 away from the movable plate 114 is slidably connected to a baffle 115. Both the limiting plate 112 and the movable plate 114 are sleeved on the outer wall of the bent rod 11. The baffle 115 is slidably connected to the front surface of the base 1. A sliding groove 116 is opened on the front surface of the base 1. A sliding block 117 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 116. The sliding block 117 is fixedly connected to the baffle 115. A moving groove 118 is opened on the surface of the baffle 115. The bent rod 11 moves inside the moving groove 118. A fixing rod 119 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 111. One end of the fixing rod 119 away from the slider 111 is hinged to a limiting rod 1110. One end of the limiting rod 1110 away from the fixing rod 119 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the baffle 115. Fixing blocks 1111 are fixedly sleeved on the outer walls of both rotating rods 5. An L-shaped push rod 1112 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixing block 1111. One end of the L-shaped push rod 1112 away from the fixing block 1111 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 111. Through the combination of components such as the sliding groove 110, the limiting plate 112, the buffer spring 113, the movable plate 114, the baffle 115, and the limiting rod 1110, the limiting mechanism 12 can limit the movement range of the bent rod 11, ensure the stable movement of the bent rod 11 during the cable bending process, and prevent inaccurate test results caused by unstable movement. The design of components such as the limiting plate 112, the buffer spring 113, the movable plate 114, and the baffle 115 can protect the fixation of the cable on the bent rod 11.
[0036] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a vertical fixed plate 21 fixedly connected to both sides of the front surface of the base 1. Transverse cavities 22 are opened on both vertical fixed plates 21. Two arc-shaped plates 23 are slidably connected to both transverse cavities 22. Temperature control curved plates 24 are fixedly connected to the inner ends of the two arc-shaped plates 23. Anti-slip lines are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the temperature control curved plates 24. Through the design of components such as the arc-shaped plates 23, the baffle 115, and the fixing blocks 1111 in the clamping mechanism 2, the cable can be effectively fixed to prevent the cable from shifting or falling off during the bending process. At the same time, the protrusions on the temperature control curved plates 24 can heat the cable sheath, improve the reliability and wear resistance of the cable, and also make the temperature distribution more uniform when the temperature of the cable changes. The anti-slip lines on the arc-shaped plates 23 can increase the friction between the arc-shaped plates 23 and the cable, ensuring that the cable is firmly fixed in the clamping mechanism 2.
[0037] The inner wall of the support plate 3 is provided with a plurality of installation grooves 13, and a travel switch 14 is fixedly arranged inside the plurality of installation grooves 13. The travel switch 14 is electrically connected to the double-shaft motor 4. Through the travel switch 14, it can be detected that the bending rod 11 stops at a specific position, and different degrees of bending can be recorded and observed. Through the signal of the travel switch 14, the position and state of the cable under different bends can be determined, so as to provide information about the performance and defects of the cable. When the mechanical movement reaches the specified position, the travel switch 14 will send a signal. When the double-shaft motor 4 rises to each set height, it will gradually contact each travel switch 14. The travel switch 14 is a device that can detect the position of mechanical movement. The travel switch 14 is installed at a specific position of the mechanical system. When the mechanical movement reaches the specified position, the travel switch 14 will trigger a switch signal. Through this signal, the double-shaft motor 4 can be controlled to stop moving. Then the staff will observe and record other defects such as cracks in the cable at this time. Then, through the time relay electrically connected to the double-shaft motor 4, the time relay can automatically control the start of the double-shaft motor 4 according to the preset time parameters after the double-shaft motor 4 stops, so as to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. By observing the wrinkle situation on the back surface of the cable, the stress situation of the cable under different bending degrees can be analyzed, so as to obtain various factors causing buffer layer defects.
[0038] The outer wall of the front surface of the bending rod 11 is fixedly connected with a rubber plate 15. A plurality of convex touch balls 16 are movably connected to the front surface of the rubber plate 15. A plurality of holes matching the convex touch balls 16 are formed on the surface of the rubber plate 15. The plurality of convex touch balls 16 are movably connected inside the rubber plate 15.
[0039] The front surface of the support plate 3 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 17. A sliding groove 116 and a sliding block 117 identical to those formed on the surface of the base 1 are fixedly arranged at one end of the fixing plate 17 in contact with the baffle 115.
[0040] One end of the bending rod 11 is fixedly connected with a temperature control component 18. The back surface of the base 1 is provided with anti-slip lines. The outer end of the bending rod 11 is fixedly connected with a lighting component 19.
[0041] A method for detecting defects in the buffer layer of a power cable includes the following steps:
[0042] S1: Pass the cable through between the through cavities 22 and place it on the front surface of the bending rod 11, and then limit the cable through the clamping mechanism 2.
[0043] S2: First, drive the bending rod 11 to move upward continuously through the double-shaft motor 4, and stop the double-shaft motor 4 through the travel switch 14, so as to obtain the specific bending angle of different bending degrees causing buffer layer defects at the same temperature.
[0044] S3: While pulling the cable upward, use the limit plate 112 and the baffle 115 to assist in blocking the cable to prevent the cable from falling off during the upward pull.
[0045] S4: Then, turn on the temperature control component 18 alone to heat the cable buffer layer, and observe the changes on the surface of the cable buffer layer, so as to detect the influence of different temperatures on the buffer layer defects under the same bending degree of the cable buffer layer.
[0046] S5: Then, detect the influence relationship between the bending degree and temperature of the cable on the cable buffer layer defects. While pulling the cable upward, heat the bending rod 11, and then record and observe the wrinkles generated on the back surface of the cable due to bending and temperature changes through a number of convex touch balls 16 on the rubber plate 15.
[0047] At the same time, the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
[0048] During operation, first, the staff passes the cable to be tested through the two transverse cavities 22 respectively, and completes the limiting treatment of the cable in the two transverse cavities 22. The two arc-shaped plates 23 in two groups can be used to limit two points of the cable. Anti-slip patterns are provided on the two arc-shaped plates 23 in two groups, which can increase the friction force between the two arc-shaped plates 23 in two groups and the cable. Then, start the double-shaft motor 4, which drives the rotating rod 5 at both output ends to rotate. The rotating gear 8 is meshed with the rack 10. When the rotating rod 5 rotates, it can drive the rotating gear 8 to move on the rack 10, so that the bending rod 11 can move horizontally upward. Since the L-shaped push rod 1112 and the slider 111 slide horizontally upward in the chute 110, the bending rod 11 is driven to slide horizontally upward in the moving groove 118. The limit rod 1110 and the fixed rod 119 can synchronously adjust the distance between the baffle 115 and the support plate 3 according to the sliding height of the slider 111 in the chute 110. When the rack 10 and the rotating gear 8 are meshed and rotated, it may not be stable enough. At this time, the limit groove 7 and the limit ring 6 can be used. When the double-shaft motor 4 drives the rotating gear 8 to rotate and drive the bending rod 11 to move upward, the rotating rod 5 can be limited to prevent the test result from being unstable due to the instability of the rotating rod 5 when the cable is bent. Through the synchronous linkage of the rotating gear 8 and the rack 10, the rotation accuracy and stability are improved through the meshing of the teeth, and the vibration and noise generated by the operation of the equipment are effectively reduced.
[0049] When pulling upward at the middle position of the cable, the pulled height of the middle position of the cable buffer layer becomes higher and higher, and the cable may shift or fall off. By means of the limiting plate 112, buffer spring 113, movable plate 114 and baffle plate 115 fixedly connected to the surface of the bending rod 11, the cable is placed between the baffle plate 115 and the movable plate 114. When the bending degree of the cable being pulled up is greater, the cable may fall outward or slide inward on the bending rod 11. If the cable slides inward, the cable contacts the movable plate 114, and the movable plate 114 slides on the bending rod 11. The movable plate 114 contacts the buffer spring 113, and the buffer spring 113 receives the force from the movable plate 114 and can approach the limiting plate 112 fixedly connected to the bending rod 11. Thus, the buffer spring 113 connected to the movable plate 114 can provide a certain protective effect on the cable. At the same time, if the cable shifts outward, the provided baffle plate 115 can play a certain role in assisting to block, and the cable will not fall off, which can play an auxiliary anti-falling effect on the position of the cable. When the double-shaft motor 4 moves upward through the rotation of the rack 10 and the rotating gear 8, the fixed block 1111 can move upward through the rotating rod 5. The L-shaped push rod 1112 on the front surface of the fixed block 1111 pushes the slider 111 to slide upward inside the chute 110. The upward sliding of the slider 111 can make the fixed rod 119 drive the limiting rod 1110 to rotate. The rotation of the limiting rod 1110 can make the baffle plate 115 slide inside the sliding groove 116 during the continuous upward movement of the bending rod 11. Since one side of the bending rod 11 away from the output end of the double-shaft motor 4 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the baffle plate 115, when starting the double-shaft motor 4, it can prevent the bending rod 11 from being unevenly stressed, and at the same time can drive the bending rod 11 to move horizontally upward and can adapt to cables of various size specifications. The higher the slider 111 is, the closer the limiting rod 1110 and the fixed rod 119 can make the baffle plate 115 approach the cable for limiting. At the same time, the buffer spring 113 can relax the cable when the baffle plate 115 approaches. When the bending degree of the cable being pulled up increases, the movable plate 114 can slide and contact the buffer spring 113. Thus, when the cable is limited, the buffer spring 113 can play a role to prevent the limiting force from being too large and affecting the cable;
[0050] After that, the temperature control component 18 will be turned on separately to heat the cable buffer layer until obvious deformation occurs on the surface of the cable buffer layer. At this time, we record the temperature at this time as the ultimate heat-resistant temperature of the cable buffer layer;
[0051] After that, the relationship between the bending degree of the cable and the temperature is detected: When detecting the anti-bending ability of the cable buffer layer at normal room temperature, a travel switch 14 is arranged in each of the plurality of mounting grooves 13 during the upward movement of the bending rod 11. When the dual-axis motor 4 rises to each set height, it gradually contacts each travel switch 14. The travel switch 14 is a device that can detect the position of mechanical movement. The travel switch 14 is installed at a specific position of the mechanical system. When the mechanical movement reaches the specified position, the travel switch 14 will trigger a switch signal. Through this signal, the dual-axis motor 4 can be controlled to stop operating. Then, the staff observes and records the cracks and other defects that appear in the cable at this time. Then, through the time relay electrically connected to the dual-axis motor 4, the time relay can automatically control the start of the dual-axis motor 4 according to the preset time parameter after the dual-axis motor 4 stops. When the dual-axis motor 4 drives the rotating rod 5 to move upward for a certain time, when obvious cracks just begin to appear on the front surface of the cable, at the same time, the lighting component 19 arranged at the end of the bending rod 11 can continuously irradiate between the bending rod 11 and the back surface of the cable bend. Observe and record according to the light and shadow projected on the surface of the support plate 3, and then observe the wrinkle situation on the back surface of the cable, and record this height as the limit bending height. In cooperation with the travel switch 14, record the data of the cable bending situation at different heights before the limit bending height, so as to further understand the influence of the bending degree on the cable buffer layer, analyze the stress situation of the cable under different bending degrees, and analyze from the front and back surfaces of the cable buffer layer, so that the analyzed and recorded data is more comprehensive and detailed;
[0052] When it is necessary to detect the influence of temperature on the cable buffer layer, the staff starts the temperature control component 18 fixedly connected to the front surface of the bending rod 11. Starting the temperature control component 18 controls the temperature of the bending rod 11. Through observation and record, it is found that when the temperature is lower than the normal room temperature, when reaching the limit bending height, cracks appear faster and more easily. When the temperature is higher than the normal room temperature, when the cable is at the limit bending height, the hardness of the cable becomes lower, the cracks on the front surface are less, and the back surface of the cable is more likely to have wrinkles. The stress situation of the cable under different temperature degrees can be analyzed, and it can be analyzed from the front and back surfaces of the cable buffer layer, so that the analyzed and recorded data is more comprehensive and detailed; At the same time, several convex touch balls 16 can be used to assist in recording and observing the wrinkles on the back surface of the cable caused by bending and temperature changes. At the same time, a plurality of protrusions are arranged on the inner end surfaces of the plurality of temperature control curved plates 24 in the clamping mechanism 2. The plurality of temperature control curved plates 24 have a heating function. When the cable is fixed by two sets of two arc-shaped plates 23, it drives the plurality of temperature control curved plates 24 to move inward, so that the plurality of temperature control curved plates 24 all contact the cable, and the heating function of the plurality of temperature control curved plates 24 is started, which can assist in heating both ends of the cable and make the temperature distribution more uniform;
[0053] The power cable buffer layer defect detection device and detection method obtain the ultimate bending degree that causes defects in the cable buffer layer by setting the different performances of the cable buffer layer under different bending degrees of the cable, and obtain the ultimate heat resistance temperature that causes defects in the cable buffer layer through the heating of the temperature control component 18. Moreover, by means of the method of controlling variables, the specific temperature that causes buffer layer defects at different temperatures under the same bending degree can be obtained, and the specific bending angle that causes buffer layer defects at different bending degrees under the same temperature can also be obtained, so that the detectable range of the device is improved. It can specifically control the corresponding temperature and bending degree according to the requirements to obtain the relationship between the two, and can better detect the specific data of the influencing factors that cause defects in the cable buffer layer.
