DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] An embodiment of a portable CT polarity testing device of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, includes a tester 100, wires 200, a hand-held rod 300, and a clamping mechanism 400. Figures 1 to 6
[0023] The wires 200 are at least two in number, and each wire 200 is connected to an output end on the tester 100.
[0024] The hand-held rod 300 and the clamping mechanism 400 each correspond to a wire 200, and the clamping mechanism 400 is arranged on the hand-held rod 300.
[0025] The clamping mechanism 400 is used for clamping the external device terminal, comprising a fixed part 410, a rotating disc, a clamping rod 440 and a pull rope 450; the fixed part 410 is fixed to the handheld rod 300. The rotating disc has two coaxial rotating discs, which are installed on the fixed part 410 and rotate in opposite directions at all times. The clamping rod 440 has four clamping rods, which are arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotating disc. Opposite two clamping rods 440 are slidably installed on the same rotating disc. The rotating disc drives the corresponding two clamping rods 440 to oscillate around the rotating axis of the rotating disc through a resilient member. When one of the clamping rods 440 abuts against the device terminal, the rotating disc can continue to rotate to drive the other clamping rod 440 to oscillate. Each clamping rod 440 is electrically connected to the wire 200 on both sides in the circumferential direction of the rotating disc. Specifically, the wire 200 can be electrically connected to the clamping rod 440 through the fixed part 410, or the wire 200 can pass through the fixed part 410 and be electrically connected to the four clamping rods 440. One end of each of the two pull ropes 450 is connected to one of the rotating discs and is located on both sides of the rotating disc. The two pull ropes 450 are used to pull the rotating discs to rotate in opposite directions, so that the four clamping rods 440 are close to each other. After the two clamping rods 440 clamp the device terminal, the pull ropes 450 are fixed to the handheld rod 300.
[0026] In use, an operator holds the handheld rod 300. The wire 200 can pass through the inside of the handheld rod 300 and be electrically connected to the clamping rod 440. According to the position of the device terminal, two appropriate clamping rods 440 are selected. One of the pull ropes 450 is pulled to drive the rotating disc to rotate. The two rotating discs rotate in opposite directions to drive the two clamping rods 440 on both sides of the device terminal to move close to each other. At the same time, the other two clamping rods 440 also move close to each other. When the two clamping rods 440 on both sides of the device terminal abut against the device terminal, the rotating disc continues to rotate to increase the clamping force between the clamping rod 440 and the device terminal, and drive the other two clamping rods 440 to further move close to each other to reduce the influence on the device to be tested. After clamping, the other end of the pull rope 450 is fixed to the handheld rod 300. When one of the pull ropes 450 is pulled to drive the rotating disc to rotate, the other pull rope 450 is in a relaxed state.
[0027] By arranging four clamping rods 440 in the circumferential direction of the rotating disc, four clamping intervals are defined. In use, the appropriate clamping interval can be selected according to the position of the device terminal to clamp it. The rotating disc is driven to rotate by the pull rope 450 to drive the clamping rod 440 to oscillate for clamping. This can adapt to complex lines and human direct operation environment, and increase the convenience of clamping.
[0028] Further, the four clamping rods 440 are independent of each other. When the two clamping rods 440 abut against the device terminal, the rotating disc can still drive the other two clamping rods 440 to continue to oscillate until they are closed. This reduces the occupied space of the clamping rod 440 in a non-working state, and further reduces the influence on the detection process.
[0029] In the embodiment, the handheld rod 300 is a hollow telescopic rod structure composed of a plurality of threaded pipes connected in sequence. The overall length of the handheld rod 300 can be adjusted by rotating the threaded pipes to meet the use requirements of different lengths.
[0030] In the embodiment, two arc grooves 421 extending along the circumferential direction of the rotating disc are formed on the rotating disc, and the arc grooves 421 are coaxial with the rotation axis of the rotating disc. The clamping rods 440 are arranged along the radial direction of the rotating disc. One end of each clamping rod 440 is in sliding fit with one arc groove 421 through a sliding piece 470, and the sliding piece 470 and the arc groove 421 are connected at both ends in the circumferential direction thereof through an elastic piece. The elastic piece is a spring. When the rotating disc rotates, the sliding piece 470 is driven to rotate synchronously by extruding the elastic piece on one side, and in turn drives the clamping rod 440 to swing. After one of the clamping rods 440 abuts against the device terminal, the rotating disc continues to rotate to further compress the elastic piece on one side of the sliding piece 470 of the clamping rod 440, and in turn drives the other clamping rod 440 to continue to swing. The sliding piece 470 includes a sliding block slidingly arranged in the arc groove 421 and a clamping plate clamped to the clamping rod 440. The clamping plate and the sliding block are connected through a connecting rod. The clamping plate is in surface contact with the clamping rod 440, which can limit the rotation of the clamping rod 440 around the sliding block to a certain extent. The clamping rod 440 is in sliding fit with the fixed part 410 along an arc-shaped track coaxial with the rotation axis of the rotating disc. The fixed part 410 limits the rotation of the clamping rod 440 around the sliding piece 470 and allows the clamping rod 440 to swing around the rotation axis of the rotating disc. Specifically, at least two ring grooves 411 are formed on the fixed part 410. The at least two ring grooves 411 are coaxial with the rotation axis of the rotating disc and are distributed at intervals. At least two sliding columns 443 are arranged on each clamping rod 440. Each sliding column 443 is slidingly installed in one ring groove 411.
[0031] In the embodiment, the clamping face of the clamping rod 440 is formed on both sides of the clamping rod 440 in the circumferential direction of the rotating disc. The clamping rod 440 is hollow. The clamping face is provided with a gas blowing hole 441 in communication with the inside of the clamping rod 440. An air bag 480 is arranged between adjacent two clamping rods 440. Each air bag 480 is in communication with the inside of the adjacent or non-adjacent two clamping rods 440 through two hoses 481, so as to blow gas to clean the device terminal when the clamping rods 440 are close to each other, to ensure the cleanliness of the contact position and avoid the influence of foreign matters on the clamping effect and the conductive effect. A one-way valve is arranged on the air bag 480 to communicate with the outside. The one-way valve allows gas to enter the air bag 480, so as to allow the air bag 480 to expand and recover when the two clamping rods 440 are away from each other.
[0032] In the embodiment, the end of the clamping rod 440 away from the rotating disc is provided with a plurality of grid bars 442, which are perpendicular to the rotating axis of the rotating disc and are sequentially and spacedly arranged along the rotating axis of the rotating disc, and the grid bars 442 of the adjacent two clamping rods 440 are staggered in the direction of the rotating axis of the rotating disc. Preferably, the grid bars 442 are arc-shaped bars with concave surfaces facing the center of the rotating disc, and when the two clamping rods 440 are close to each other to clamp the terminals of the device, the grid bars 442 at the ends of the two clamping rods 440 are staggered, thereby preventing the terminals of the device from being separated from the ends of the two clamping rods 440 away from the rotating disc.
[0033] In the embodiment, the two rotating discs are driven by a gear mechanism, and the gear mechanism drives the two rotating discs to rotate in opposite directions. Specifically, the gear mechanism includes a center gear 461, a double gear 462 and a gear ring 463. The center gear 461 is rotationally installed on the fixed part 410 and coaxial with the rotating axis of the rotating disc. The two rotating discs are the upper rotating disc 420 and the lower rotating disc 430. The side of the upper rotating disc 420 close to the lower rotating disc 430 is coaxially fixed with a gear shaft 422, the gear shaft 422 penetrates through the fixed part 410 and is connected with the center gear 461 to drive the center gear 461 to rotate synchronously. The gear ring 463 is arranged on the lower rotating disc 430 and coaxial with the rotating axis of the lower rotating disc 430. The double gear 462 is rotationally installed on the fixed part 410 and includes two coaxial and fixedly connected large gears and small gears. The large gears and small gears are respectively engaged with the gear ring 463 and the center gear 461, and the gear ring 463 and the center gear 461 have the same rotating speed and opposite rotating directions.
[0034] In the embodiment, a plurality of buckles 310 are arranged on the handheld rod 300 and spaced along the axial direction of the handheld rod 300. The end of the pull rope 450 is connected with a clamping column 451. After the pull rope 450 drives the rotating disc to rotate, the pull rope 450 is clamped with the buckle 310 through the clamping column 451, thereby preventing the rotating disc from being reset and making the clamping rod 440 keep the clamping state. The pull rope 450 is connected to the two sides of the upper rotating disc 420 on the same reference diameter, and the reference diameter is perpendicular to the handheld rod 300, so that the upper rotating disc 420 is more easily driven to rotate when the pull rope 450 is pulled.
[0035] In the embodiment, the size of the clamping rod 440 in the circumferential direction of the rotating disc gradually increases from the end close to the rotating disc to the end away from the rotating disc.
[0036] The portable CT polarity testing device of the present application can be used in the following manner: first, the clamping rods 440 are used to clamp the device terminals by means of the hand-held rod 300, and then the wires 200 are connected to the tester 100. Specifically, the operator holds the hand-held rod 300, selects two appropriate clamping rods 440 according to the positions of the device terminals, pulls one of the pull ropes 450 to drive the upper turntable 420 to rotate, the upper turntable 420 drives the lower turntable 430 to rotate at the same speed in the opposite direction through the gear mechanism, and then drives the two clamping rods 440 located on both sides of the device terminals to move closer to each other, at the same time, the other two clamping rods 440 also move closer to each other, until the two clamping rods 440 on both sides of the device terminals abut against the device terminals, and then the pull rope 450 is continuously pulled to drive the upper turntable 420 to rotate to increase the clamping force between the two clamping rods 440 and the device terminals, and to further drive the other two clamping rods 440 to move closer to each other to reduce the influence on the device to be tested. After clamping, the other end of the pull rope 450 is clamped to the buckle 310 at the corresponding position of the hand-held rod 300. After the two corresponding clamping mechanisms 400 of the wires 200 clamp the corresponding device terminals, the other ends of the wires 200 are connected to the tester 100, and the tester 100 is operated to detect the polarity of the device terminals.
[0037] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
