Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable detection, and in particular to a cable fault detection device. Background Art

[0002] It is well known that the cable structure is composed of a conductor located at the core position and an insulating sheath wrapping the conductor. The current insulating sheath is basically made of rubber material or foam material. Regardless of whether it is rubber material or foam material, the cable is produced by wrapping the heated and softened rubber material or foam material on the conductor. During the use of the cable, the wear, excessive bending or mis-cutting of the cable will cause local insulation defects on the cable surface, that is, the problem of damaged core. Especially when the cable is laid, because the cable needs to be transported, handled and dragged, the cable skin is very likely to be damaged by friction during these operations, which brings hidden dangers to the subsequent safe laying of the cable.

[0003] Most of the cables nowadays are laid underground, which leads to the following deficiencies in fault detection of buried cables: 1. When testing buried cables, the operation is usually carried out on the ground, which not only requires the staff to repeatedly confirm the direction of cable laying, but also requires handheld testing equipment to walk around for testing, which is time-consuming and laborious; 2. When testing buried cables on the ground, workers need to walk along the cable laying line for testing. Although most buried cables are laid on both sides of the road, workers cannot observe the road conditions in time during the testing process. In addition, both sides of the road are mostly green belts or uneven roads, which poses a great safety hazard. 3. When testing buried cables on the ground, they are not only easily disturbed by asphalt pavement, soil and stones, but also most buried cables are laid in protective casings, which will also cause great interference to cable detection. This leads to unsatisfactory ground detection results and inability to accurately detect cables. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cable fault detection device that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Summary of the invention
