Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of components of stress detection equipment, and specifically to a cable detection fixture, a cable detection equipment, and a multi-cable life detection method. Background Art
[0002] In high-end equipment fields such as medical devices, industrial robots, and aerospace, cable assemblies, as the core carriers for energy transmission and signal interaction, their reliability is directly related to the operation safety and service life of the whole equipment. Taking a medical bed as an example, its electric lifting, body position adjustment and other functional modules usually need to integrate dozens of power cables and signal cables. These cables need to perform multi-degree-of-freedom movements (including compound deformations such as torsion, bending, and stretching) with the robotic arm during the operation of the equipment. Actual working condition statistical data shows that about 68% of the electrical faults in medical devices are caused by cable fatigue damage, and typical failure modes such as joint contact failure, insulation layer rupture, and conductor fracture account for more than 90%.
[0003] However, traditional testing methods have significant defects in aspects such as simulating real working conditions, mapping damage mechanisms, and testing efficiency, resulting in the difficulty of meeting the stringent requirements of modern equipment for product reliability verification and life prediction accuracy. Traditional single-factor fatigue testing equipment usually adopts a simplified mechanical loading mode. For example, a periodic torsion with a fixed angle is applied to a single cable, and the durability is evaluated by recording the number of fracture cycles. In addition, the test procedures specified in existing standards do not fully consider the synergistic effect of the harness assembly. When multiple cables are arranged in parallel, the accumulation of frictional heat and electromagnetic interference will cause additional aging effects, and the impact of such group effects on the life cannot be reflected at all in the single-body test.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cable detection fixture, a cable detection device and a multi-cable life detection method, which have the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. For this cable detection fixture, by clamping the main cable in the main cable fixture, and after one end of the main cable extending out of the main cable fixture bypasses the guiding pulley, clamping each branch cable formed by the bifurcation of the main cable in the branch fixture respectively, it can effectively clamp the main cable and each branch cable formed by the bifurcation of the main cable through the main cable fixture and each branch fixture respectively, and under the action of the guiding pulley, avoid the change of the pulling force direction on the main cable caused by the need for stable fixation of the main cable fixture, and can effectively ensure that this kind of cable detection fixture can stably simulate the installation effect on the cable during normal use, and can stably simulate the pulling force on the cable during normal use, thereby ensuring the detection simulation accuracy and detection precision of the cable at the clamping end.
[0022] 2. The cable detection fixture can adjust the distance between two clamping jaws by turning the distance adjustment lever, which drives the lifting of the distance adjustment slider and simultaneously adjusts the distance between the two clamping jaws. Then, the branch cable can be stably clamped by the two clamping jaws. After clamping, when it is necessary to adjust each branch fixture according to the length of each branch cable, the position can be adjusted by inserting the two telescopic locking columns of the branch fixture into the locking holes at the corresponding positions inside the sliding grooves respectively. Thus, the position of the branch fixture in the corresponding sliding groove can be adjusted, and the angle between the branch fixture and the central plane of the corresponding sliding groove can also be adjusted. By sequentially adjusting each branch fixture, it is possible to match the different lengths of the clamped branch cables and adapt to the relative angles of each branch cable during actual use. Furthermore, it can more effectively simulate the installation state of each branch cable during actual use, and effectively ensure the accuracy in the subsequent cable detection process.
[0023] 3. For this cable detection fixture, each main cable fixture group can approach and move away from the middle position of the fixture connecting plate synchronously through two connecting supports. The two eccentric clamping rods can rotate synchronously to adjust the minimum distance between the two eccentric clamping rods, and clamp the main cable respectively. And through the setting of multiple main cable fixture groups, the main cable can be clamped more stably, avoiding the loosening between the main cable and the main cable fixture. Through the setting of the guiding pulley, the change in the pulling force direction on the main cable caused by the need to stably fix the main cable fixture can be avoided.
[0024] 4. For this cable detection fixture, first, by rotating the distance adjustment grip, the distance adjustment screw can be driven to rotate, and at the same time, the two connecting supports can be driven to approach and move away from the limit support synchronously to roughly adjust the distance between the two connecting supports. Then, by the angle adjustment handle, the two angle adjustment toothed plates can be driven to approach and move away synchronously, and the distance between the two eccentric clamping rods can be adjusted, and the minimum distance between the two eccentric clamping rods can be adjusted, which can improve the effectiveness of clamping the main cable and ensure the detection effect on the cable.
[0025] 5. This cable detection device can accurately obtain the fatigue damage degree of the wire harness by simulating the fatigue damage degree under different working states of the wire harness and simulating the braking action during the actual operation of the product. During the test process, it can ensure accurate and stable rotation, reduce the influence of other factors on the test results. The processing terminal can measure the number of misalignment times and the maximum misalignment angle of each rotation, evaluate the state of the cable, and obtain the service life of the cable.

Each branch fixture 22 is slidably disposed on one side of the connection plate 21 close to the main cable fixture 1, and the distance between the central axes of each branch fixture 22 and the connection plate 21 can be independently adjusted; the main cable fixture 1 is used to clamp the main cable. A guiding pulley 3 is provided on one side of the main cable fixture 1. After the main cable extends from the main cable fixture 1, it can first bypass the guiding pulley 3. Each branch cable formed by the bifurcation of the main cable can be respectively clamped inside each branch fixture 22; the main cable fixture 1 and the connection plate 21 can be respectively installed at designated positions of the cable detection device, and the positional relationship between the main cable fixture 1 and the connection plate 21 can be adjusted according to the detection process of the cable detection device.
[0039] During use, by clamping the main cable inside the main cable fixture 1, and after one end of the main cable extending from the main cable fixture 1 bypasses the guiding pulley 3, each branch cable formed by the bifurcation of the main cable is respectively clamped inside the branch fixture 22, so as to be able to effectively clamp the main cable and each branch cable formed by the bifurcation of the main cable respectively through the main cable fixture 1 and each branch fixture 22. And under the action of the guiding pulley 3, it is possible to avoid the change in the pulling force direction on the main cable caused by the need for the main cable fixture 1 to be stably fixed, which can effectively ensure that this kind of cable detection fixture can stably simulate the installation effect of the cable during normal use and can stably simulate the pulling force on the cable during normal use, thereby ensuring the detection simulation accuracy and detection precision of the cable at the clamping end.
[0040] Embodiment 2:
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-8, the difference from the above embodiment is that the branch clamp 22 includes a clamp housing 221 and a mounting suspension rod 222.

A plurality of locking holes 213 are arranged at the inner bottom end of the locking groove 212; the mounting suspension rod 222 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 211, and the mounting suspension rod 222 can rotate inside the sliding groove 211. A locking telescopic link 223 is arranged through the center of the mounting suspension rod 222, and telescopic locking columns 224 are respectively arranged at both ends of the locking telescopic link 223; the telescopic locking columns 224 can extend into any one of the locking holes 213 inside the corresponding sliding groove 211, and the included angle between the clamp housing 221 and the center plane of the sliding groove 211 can be adjusted by adjusting the position between the two telescopic locking columns 224.
[0042] Two clamping claws 225 are slidably arranged inside the clamp housing 221. Spacing adjustment sliders 226 are arranged at the tops of the two clamping claws 225.

[0043] During use, by pulling the spacing adjustment rotating rod 227, the spacing adjustment slider 226 can be driven to lift and lower while driving the spacing between the two clamping claws 225 to be adjusted. Furthermore, the branch cable can be stably clamped by the two clamping claws 225. After clamping, when it is necessary to adjust each branch clamp 22 according to the length of each branch cable, the position of the two telescopic locking columns 224 of the branch clamp 22 can be respectively embedded into the locking holes 213 inside the corresponding sliding grooves 211 for adjustment. Thus, the position of the branch clamp 22 in the corresponding sliding groove 211 can be adjusted, and the included angle between the branch clamp 22 and the center plane of the corresponding sliding groove 211 can also be adjusted. Therefore, while the different lengths of the branch cables to be clamped can be matched by sequentially adjusting each branch clamp 22, the relative angles of each branch cable during actual use can be adapted. Furthermore, the installation state of each branch cable during actual use can be more effectively simulated, and the accuracy during the subsequent cable detection process can be effectively guaranteed.
