Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dual-redundancy proximity switch testing device. Background Art

[0002] Proximity switch is also called proximity sensor or contactless position switch. It is a position switch that can be operated without mechanical contact with moving parts. When the moving body approaches the switch to a certain position, the switch sends an electrical signal, which converts the movement information and existence information of the detected object into electrical signals, thereby realizing signal transmission and control. It has the characteristics of no mechanical wear and fatigue damage, high product positioning accuracy, stable performance, long service life, low power consumption, strong working reliability, and fast response.

[0003] The output voltage ripple of the power module of the existing proximity switch test device is large, that is, the power supply voltage of the proximity switch being tested is unstable, which is easy to cause damage to the switch, and the state display circuit module has a large shunt, which has a great impact on the current indicators of the proximity switch being tested, such as consumption current, load current, etc., and reduces the accuracy of detection. At the same time, there is currently a lack of testing devices that can simultaneously detect dual-redundancy proximity switches. For example, a leakage current automatic test device for a proximity switch disclosed in CN222561736U uses a depletion-type MOSFET for current limiting protection to prevent the digital potentiometer from being damaged when the proximity switch or proximity sensor is triggered by mistake, solving the problem that the digital potentiometer cannot directly replace the load resistor; a current-voltage conversion circuit is used, and the virtual ground function of the operational amplifier circuit is used to convert the input current into a test voltage to ensure the load is accurate and improve the measurement progress; a current source calibration circuit is added, and the calibrated current source can calibrate and self-check the measurement part circuit, which is convenient for automated testing. However, its power supply end does not have overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection and short-circuit protection functions, making the switch being tested easily damaged.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection claimed is not limited to the description.

[0023] The present invention discloses a dual-redundancy proximity switch test device, comprising a housing 1 and a cover plate 3 covering the top opening thereof; a power socket 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the housing 1 by screws, a circuit module 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the housing 1 by screws, a control switch 4, a voltmeter 5, an ammeter 6, an indicator light 7 and a three-way wiring clamp 8 are installed on the top of the cover plate, and the circuit module 2 is connected to the power socket 9, the control switch 4, the voltmeter 5, the ammeter 6, the indicator light 7 and the three-way wiring clamp 8 by wires, and the three-way wiring clamp 8 is used to connect the two-way signals of the dual-redundancy proximity switch to be tested. The modular design fixes each component by screws to ensure the stability of the overall structure of the device and reduce poor contact caused by vibration or external force; the three-way wiring clamp 8 directly connects the two-way signals of the dual-redundancy proximity switch to achieve dual-channel synchronous detection and significantly improve the test efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, the cover plate 3 is connected to the housing 1 by screws, and a groove and a threaded hole are provided on the cover plate 3; the control switch 4, the indicator light 7 and the three-way wiring clamp 8 are fixed in the groove of the cover plate 3 by nuts and screws respectively, and the voltmeter 5 and the ammeter 6 are fixed to the installation opening of the cover plate 3 by their own buckles. The design of the groove and the threaded hole simplifies the component installation process and reduces the complexity of assembly; the buckle-type fixing of the voltmeter and the ammeter avoids the risk of instrument damage caused by welding or gluing, and is convenient for later maintenance and replacement.

[0025] Furthermore, two sets of independent signal transmission circuits are printed on the circuit module 2, each of which includes an AC-DC power conversion circuit, a switch detection circuit and a status display circuit, which are used to simultaneously detect two signals of the dual-redundancy proximity switch. The dual independent circuit design supports the synchronous detection of the dual-redundancy proximity switch, eliminates signal interference, ensures the independence of the two-way data collection, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0026] Furthermore, the AC-DC power conversion circuit includes a power module M1, whose pin 1 and pin 2 are respectively connected to the pin 2 and pin 3 of the common mode inductor L2; the pin 1 of the common mode inductor L2 is connected in series with the NTC resistor RT1 and the fuse F1 and then connected to the live wire, and the pin 4 is directly connected to the neutral wire; the pins 1 and 4 of the common mode inductor L2 are connected in parallel with the safety X capacitor CX1, the varistor R6 and the bleeder resistor R4; the pins 1 and 2 of the power module M1 are respectively connected in series with the safety Y capacitors CY1 and CY2 and then grounded.

The dual-way independent status display circuit avoids signal cross-interference, ensures the independence and real-time performance of the two-way detection results, and meets the high reliability requirements of the dual-redundancy system.

The integrated multiple protection mechanisms (overcurrent, overtemperature, short circuit) effectively prevent accidental damage during the test; EMC filtering and low ripple output (<50mV) ensure stable power supply for the switch under test, improving the accuracy and repeatability of the test data.
