[0001] The invention relates to the field of network cable testing devices, in particular to a foldable cable testing device. Background Art

[0002] At a time when network technology is changing with each passing day, network cables have been used in all fields. Whether it is to build a convenient network environment within the home or to create a complex wiring system in a large data center, the performance and connectivity of network cables are key factors to ensure stable and efficient operation of the network. The use of routers and switches is the core equipment to ensure the stable operation of the network. During the installation and commissioning stage of these devices, technicians need to confirm whether each socket can be normally connected one by one to ensure the stability of the network connection. In the daily maintenance of the equipment, it is also necessary to regularly test the sockets for conduction to promptly discover and eliminate potential faults. This test box uses LED line-by-line display to determine whether the 1-8 wire cores of the crystal head are connected normally. The volume of the test box is relatively large. For those who need to frequently travel to various locations to carry out network cable testing, the inconvenient test box is undoubtedly a heavy burden. Most of the test boxes currently used have a single test port structure, and this line-by-line testing through LED display is inefficient, and it is impossible to directly and quickly see whether there is a configuration fault.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Specific Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , in the embodiment of the present invention, a foldable cable testing device includes a first test box 1, a second test box 5, and an adapter block 6. The first test box 1 and the second test box 5 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged left and right along the adapter block 6. The first test box 1 and the second test box 5 are both movably installed on the adapter block 6, and the first test box and the second test box 5 can be folded relative to each other into an upper and lower stacked structure.

[0025] The first test box 1 includes a housing 2, a PCB module 4, and at least one group of RJ45 test socket assemblies 3. The RJ45 test socket assemblies 3 and the PCB module 4 are both installed in the housing 2. The RJ45 test socket module is electrically connected to the PCB module 4. The RJ45 test socket assemblies 3 are located at the upper end of the PCB module 4. The PCB module 43 includes a processing chip for detection. In this embodiment, there are two groups of RJ45 test socket assemblies 3 on the housing 2, and the two groups of RJ45 test socket assemblies 3 are arranged at intervals left and right on the housing 2.

[0026] The RJ45 test socket assembly 3 includes a socket body 301. At least two groups of test sockets 302 with the same structure are arranged side by side and equidistantly on the socket body 301 for inserting RJ45 crystal heads. In this embodiment, three test sockets 302 are provided on a single group of RJ45 test socket assemblies 3. On the left and right sides of the outer end face of the test socket 302, a first LED 303 and a second LED 304 are respectively provided. Both the first LED 303 and the second LED 304 are electrically connected to the PCB module 4. A first through hole 201-2 is opened at the upper end of the housing 2 for installing the socket body 301. The first LED 303 and the second LED 304 are a combination of a blue light and a green light.

[0027] When the crystal head is inserted into the test socket 302, the processing chip is triggered to test the wire sequence of the inserted network cable until the corresponding LED lights up for result display. In this application, the first LED 303 and the second LED 304 are a combination of a blue light and a green light. If a shielded (STP) cable is connected properly: the blue light is on and the green light is off. If an unshielded (UTP) cable is connected properly: the green light is on and the blue light is off. Different lit lamp colors indicate different types of inserted jumpers. The lit lamp colors corresponding to shielded or unshielded crystal heads can also be adjusted according to the actual situation. Specifically, as long as two different colors are used to distinguish the detection results of shielded and unshielded crystal heads.

[0028] In this application, the adapter block 6 is a hollow cavity structure. Openings are provided on both the left and right sides of the adapter block 6. The first test box 1 extends towards the adapter block 6 with a first boss 201-3. A raised first serrated portion 201-4 is provided on the outside of the first boss 201-3. The second test box 5 extends towards the adapter block 6 with a second boss 501. A raised second serrated portion 502 is provided on the outside of the second boss 501. The first serrated portion 201-4 and the second serrated portion 502 are engaged with each other. Both the first boss 201-3 and the second boss 501 are inside the adapter block 6. Both the first boss 201-3 and the second boss 501 are rotatably installed with the adapter block 6. That is, the first test box 1 and the second test box 5 are folded by meshing and rotating with each other through a gear structure. Using a gear transmission structure can make the structure of the entire test device more compact and the volume of the test device smaller. Moreover, using a gear meshing transmission structure can make the movement transmission of the first test box 1 and the second test box 5 more stable during opening or folding operations, without jamming, shaking, etc. It can make the first test box 1 and the second test box 2 move synchronously at the same angle during folding or opening. The user can more accurately control the opening angle and speed, bringing a smooth operation experience to the user.

[0029] The adapter block 6 in this application includes a top plate 601, a bottom plate 602, and a support plate 603. The top plate 601 is parallel above the bottom plate 602. The support plate 603 is vertically installed on one side between the top plate 601 and the bottom plate 602. The top plate 601, the bottom plate 602, and the support plate 603 form a cavity with an open structure. A spacer plate 604 is also provided between the top plate 601 and the bottom plate 602. The spacer plate 604 is perpendicular to the support plate 603. The spacer plate 604 is between the first boss 201-3 and the second boss 501, that is, the cavity is divided into two chambers by the spacer plate 604 for the installation and placement of the first boss 201-3 and the second boss 501 respectively. At the same time, the spacer plate 604 can also limit the rotation angles of the first boss 201-3 and the second boss 501 to avoid collisions that may damage the components.

[0030] In addition, the housing 2 in this application has a rectangular structure. The housing 2 includes an upper housing 201 and a lower housing 202. The upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 are fastened and locked with screws. The first boss 201-3 is on one side of the upper housing 201. Since the second test box 5 has the same structure as the first test box 1, it will not be elaborated repeatedly.

[0031] An inwardly concave first receiving groove 201-1 is provided above the upper housing 201. A identification plate 7 is placed in the first receiving groove 201-1. An inwardly concave second receiving groove 601-1 is provided above the adapter block 6. The second receiving groove 601-1 is also used to place the identification plate 7. For work with a fixed test process, the identification can help the operator perform tests in a predetermined order, making the test process smoother and more standardized, reducing repetitive work or missed steps caused by disorderly operations, and further improving the overall work efficiency.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, a folding cable testing device provided by the present invention is small in volume and convenient to carry. The foldable design greatly improves the portability of the testing device, making it convenient for the staff to carry it to different work sites. Moreover, the testing device of this application can directly and intuitively judge whether the network jumper is connected normally through the colors of different LED lights, connect more test socket interfaces through the circuit board to achieve the purpose of testing multiple network cables simultaneously, and timely feedback the test results. Compared with the traditional method of testing one by one with a single-port test box, it can multiply the test efficiency and speed up the overall progress of the project.
