[0058] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar parts or parts with the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limitations on the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0059] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, internal communication between two components, or an interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on this application.

[0061] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequential sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, such that the embodiments of the application described herein can, for example, be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0062] In addition, the terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0063] In a cable system, after the cable is laid, the connection points of each cable segment need to be connected using cable connectors to form a continuous cable line. Regular inspections of at least one of the cables and cable connectors are crucial to maintaining the operational stability and safety of the line.

[0064] In the related art, regular inspections of at least one of the cables and the cable connectors are performed manually, that is, maintenance personnel use a handheld optical detection probe to direct the detection end of the optical detection probe toward at least one of the cables and the cable connectors for optical detection.

[0065] However, when maintenance personnel move the optical inspection probe along the axial direction of the cable to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the cable and cable connectors, the cable system is long, requiring maintenance personnel to walk a long distance. During the movement, maintenance personnel also need to use their wrists to move the optical inspection probe around the circumference of the cable to ensure that the optical inspection probe can cover all positions of the cable and cable connectors for comprehensive inspection. This makes the operation time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0066] Furthermore, for safety, protection, and space utilization considerations, cables are typically laid in underground pipes, tunnels, or corridors to protect them from external environmental influences (such as weather and mechanical damage) and reduce the risk of failure. Manual operation requires a large operating space, making it difficult for maintenance personnel to operate optical inspection probes in these confined environments, resulting in poor adaptability.

[0067] In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide an inspection device and a cable system. The inspection device is provided with a detection assembly and at least one mating device. The detection assembly includes a support member and a first detection member disposed on the support member. The mating device includes a connecting structure and a driving structure. The connecting structure connects the sleeve member to the support member by providing a sleeve member and a rotating assembly. The driving structure is disposed on the sleeve member, and the sleeve member is movably connected to the rotating assembly via the driving structure. When the sleeve member is mounted on one of the cables and cable connectors of the cable system, the driving structure causes the rotating assembly to contact one of the cables and the cable connector. In this way, on the one hand, when the driving structure drives the rotating component to rotate frictionally relative to one of the cable and the cable connector, so as to drive the support and the socket to rotate along the circumference of the cable, and move from the cable to the cable connector or from the cable connector to the cable along the axial direction of the cable, the driving structure can be used to make the rotating component adapt to the different outer diameters of the cable and the cable connector to ensure that the rotating component maintains contact with one of the cable and the cable connector for friction rotation, so that the support can always drive the first detection component to rotate along the circumference of the cable and move along the axial direction of the cable, so that when the cable and the cable connector are optically inspected by the first detection component, the optical inspection of the first detection component can normally cover various positions of the cable and the cable connector, thereby eliminating the need for manual handheld optical inspection probes for inspection, and making it more convenient to use; on the other hand, the inspection equipment is compact and has a small structure design by putting the socket on one of the cable and the cable connector, and does not require much operating space, which is conducive to improving the applicability of the inspection equipment.

[0068] Hereinafter, the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0069] See 1 to Figure 3 The inspection equipment 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a detection component 110 and at least one matching device 120; the detection component 110 includes a support member 111 and a first detection member 112 arranged on the support member 111; the matching device 120 includes a connecting structure 121 and a driving structure 122, the connecting structure 121 includes a socket 101 and a rotating component 102, the socket 101 is connected to the support member 111; the driving structure 122 is arranged on the socket 101, and the socket 101 is movably connected to the rotating component 102 through the driving structure 122, and the driving structure 122 is used to make the rotating component 102 contact with one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 when the socket 101 is sleeved on one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 of the cable system.

[0070] The driving structure 122 is also used to drive the rotating component 102 to frictionally rotate relative to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220; the rotating component 102 is configured to drive the support member 111 and the socket member 101 to move during friction rotation, and the displacement includes axial movement along the cable 210 and / or circumferential rotation along the cable 210; the first detection member 112 is used to follow the displacement of the support member 111 to perform optical detection on at least one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220.

[0071] It should be noted that, in specific implementations, depending on different inspection requirements, in the inspection device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the sleeve 101 is sleeved on one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, and the rotating assembly 102 frictionally rotates to drive the support member 111 and the sleeve 101 to move, the support member 111 and the sleeve 101 may move only in the axial direction of the cable 210, or may rotate only in the circumferential direction of the cable 210; or, may move in the axial direction of the cable 210 and rotate in the circumferential direction of the cable 210 simultaneously. The embodiment of the present application is not limited in this regard.

[0072] It should also be noted that the axial direction of the cable connector 220 is consistent with the axial direction of the cable 210. Figure 1 In the X direction shown, the circumferential direction of the cable connector 220 is consistent with the circumferential direction of the cable 210, both of which are Figure 1 S direction shown.

[0073] Specifically, the support member 111 is used to carry and fix the first detection member 112, ensuring that the first detection member 112 maintains a stable posture during the detection process and can move synchronously with the support member 111. The sleeve 101 is used to sleeve the inspection device 100 as a whole on the cable 210 or the cable connector 220, serving as the connection basis between the inspection device 100 and the cable 210; the rotating assembly 102 is used to realize the circumferential rotation of the inspection device 100 around the cable 210 and / or the circumferential movement along the cable 210, thereby driving the first detection member 112 to perform optical detection on at least one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220; the driving structure 122 is used to provide power, control the rotating assembly 102 to generate friction relative to the cable 210 or the connector surface, and drive the device to move axially and / or circumferentially along the cable 210.

[0074] Among them, the first detection member 112 can be an optical detection module such as a camera, an infrared sensor, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. For example, when using a camera for detection, the surface image of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 can be obtained to help identify external physical damage such as cracks and wear; the infrared sensor is mainly used to detect the heat distribution of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220. By analyzing the infrared image, local overheating caused by increased resistance or poor contact can be found. For example, if there is looseness or oxidation at the cable connector 220, an abnormally high temperature point may appear; similarly, a short circuit in the internal conductor of the cable 210 or aging of the insulation material may also cause a temperature rise. The use of an infrared sensor can capture these changes in time to prevent possible failures.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, an arc-shaped assembly frame 115 for mounting the first detection member 112 is provided at the middle position of the lower surface of the support member 111; the first detection member 112 is fixed to the inner side of the arc-shaped assembly frame 115 by bolts, so that the first detection member 112 is fixedly assembled at an angle, so that the detection end of the first detection member 112 faces the cable 210, so that the surface of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 can be optically scanned at an angle.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, two cables 210 are spaced apart in the X direction, and a cable connector 220 is located between the two cables 210, so that one of the two cables 210 is connected to the other via the cable connector 220. The number of the matching device 120 in the inspection device 100 can be set to one.

[0077] When only the cable connector 220 needs to be inspected, the sleeve 101 can be sleeved onto the cable connector 220, with the rotating assembly 102 positioned between the sleeve 101 and the cable connector 220. In this manner, the driving structure 122 brings the rotating assembly 102 into contact with the cable connector 220. The driving structure 122 drives the rotating assembly 102 to frictionally rotate relative to the cable connector 220, causing the rotating assembly 102 to drive the supporting member 111 and the sleeve 101 to rotate circumferentially around the cable connector 220 and / or to move axially along the cable connector 220, thereby optically inspecting the cable connector 220 via the first inspection member 112.

[0078] When only one of the two cables 210 needs to be inspected, the sleeve 101 can be sleeved on the cable 210 to be inspected, so that the rotating assembly 102 is located between the sleeve 101 and the cable 210 to be inspected. In this way, the rotating assembly 102 is brought into contact with the cable 210 to be inspected by the driving structure 122, and the driving structure 122 drives the rotating assembly 102 to rotate relative to the cable 210 to be inspected by friction, so that the rotating assembly 102 drives the support member 111 and the sleeve 101 to rotate circumferentially around the cable 210 to be inspected and / or move along the axial direction of the cable 210 to be inspected, so that the cable 210 to be inspected can be optically inspected by the first inspection member 112.

[0079] When both the cables 210 and the cable connectors 220 are to be inspected, the sleeve 101 can be sleeved on one of the two cables 210, with the rotating assembly 102 positioned between the sleeve 101 and one of the two cables 210. In this manner, the rotating assembly 102 is brought into contact with one of the two cables 210 by the driving structure 122, which drives the rotating assembly 102 to frictionally rotate relative to the one of the two cables 210, causing the rotating assembly 102 to drive the supporting member 111 and the sleeve 101 to rotate circumferentially around the cable 210 and move axially along the cable 210, thereby optically inspecting the cable connector 220 and the two cables 210 through the first inspection member 112.

[0080] The sleeve 101 is sequentially sleeved onto one of the two cables 210, the cable connector 220, and the other of the two cables 210 under the frictional rotation of the rotating assembly 102. Due to the different outer diameters of the cables 210 and the cable connector 220, in the embodiment of the present application, when the sleeve 101 is displaced from one of the two cables 210 to the cable connector 220, and when the sleeve 101 is displaced from the cable connector 220 to the other of the two cables 210, the position of the rotating assembly 102 is adjusted by the driving structure 122 according to the different outer diameters of the cables 210 and the cable connector 220, so as to ensure that the rotating assembly 102 maintains contact with the cables 210 or the cable connector 220 for frictional rotation, so that the support member 111 can always drive the first detection member 112 to rotate along the circumference of the cable 210 and move along the axial direction of the cable 210.

[0081] In summary, the inspection device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the driving structure 122 drives the rotating component 102 to rotate relative to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, so as to drive the support member 111 and the sleeve 101 to rotate along the circumference of the cable 210, and when the cable 210 moves from the cable 210 to the cable connector 220 or from the cable connector 220 to the cable 210 along the axial direction of the cable 210, the driving structure 122 can be used to make the rotating component 102 adapt to the different outer diameters of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, so as to ensure that the rotating component 102 maintains contact with one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 for friction rotation, so that the support member 111 and the sleeve 101 can rotate along the circumference of the cable 210. Component 111 can always drive the first detection component 112 to rotate along the circumference of the cable 210 and move along the axial direction of the cable 210, so that when the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 are optically inspected by the first detection component 112, the optical inspection of the first detection component 112 can normally cover various positions of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, thereby eliminating the need for manual handheld optical inspection probes for inspection, making it more convenient to use; at the same time, the inspection device 100 is used by putting the sleeve 101 on one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, and the structural design is compact and does not require much operating space, which is conducive to improving the applicability of the inspection device 100.

[0082] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 102 includes at least two first rotating members 1021, and the first rotating member 1021 has a rotatable rotating part 1211; the driving structure 122 includes a first driving member 103 and a first transmission assembly 104 connected to the first driving member 103, the first driving member 103 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall 1017 of the socket 101, and the inner peripheral wall 1016 of the socket 101 is connected to the rotating part 1211 through the first transmission assembly 104, and the paired first rotating members 1021 are arranged opposite to each other along the axis of the socket 101, and the rotating axis of the rotating part 1211 is parallel to the axis of the cable 210; the first driving member 103 is used to drive the first transmission assembly 104 to cooperate with the rotating part 1211 in transmission, so that when the rotating part 1211 rotates relative to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 by friction, it drives the support member 111 and the socket 101 to rotate along the circumferential direction of the cable 210.

[0083] It can be understood that the inner peripheral wall 1016 of the socket 101 is the side of the socket 101 opposite to the cable 210 when the socket 101 is sleeved on the cable 210; the outer peripheral wall 1017 of the socket 101 is the side of the socket 101 away from the cable 210.

[0084] In this way, by arranging the pairs of first rotating members 1021 relative to each other to form a symmetrical support structure, the inspection equipment 100 is subjected to uniform force when rotating around one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, thereby reducing deflection or slippage; the power of the first driving member 103 is accurately transmitted to each rotating part 1211 through the first transmission component 104, thereby reducing energy loss and helping to improve the reliability of power transmission; by setting the rotation axis of the rotating part 1211 to be parallel to the axis of the cable 210, the first detection member 112 can perform 360° rotation detection around one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220.

[0085] In specific implementation, the number of the first rotating members 1021 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of the first rotating members 1021 can be 2, 4, 6 or 8. Figure 2 As shown, four, or two pairs of, first rotating members 1021 are evenly assembled on the inner circumferential wall 1016 of the sleeve 101. The four first rotating members 1021 are located at the two diametrical ends of the cross-shaped sleeve 101, so that the pairs of first rotating members 1021 are positioned opposite each other. This ensures uniform gravity and quality across the inspection device 100, minimizing any potential for skewness.

[0086] For example, the first driving member 103 can be a micromotor, i.e., a compact, moderately powerful electric motor, typically a small drive device with an outer diameter ranging from a few millimeters to tens of millimeters; the rotating portion 1211 can be a roller; and the first transmission assembly 104 can be adaptively designed as a synchronous pulley transmission structure. The micromotor is connected to each rotating portion 1211 via the synchronous pulley transmission structure. The micromotor can be integrated into a control system. For example, the micromotor can be electrically connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC), enabling remote control and automated operation of the micromotor through the PLC, thereby enhancing its intelligence.

[0087] Furthermore, by controlling the start and stop and direction of the micro motor, the device can realize various operation modes such as unidirectional / bidirectional rotation, fixed-point scanning, and uniform speed inspection around one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220. This embodiment of the application will not be described in detail.

[0088] Continue reading Figure 4In some examples, the first rotating member 1021 includes a fixing portion 1212, a matching portion 1214 and an installation portion 1216; the fixing portion 1212 is connected to the inner circumferential wall 1016 of the socket 101, and the fixing portion 1212 has a placement groove 1213, and the groove opening of the placement groove 1213 is away from the inner circumferential wall 1016 of the socket 101; the matching portion 1214 is rotatably set on the placement groove 1213, and the matching portion 1214 has a sliding groove 1215, and the groove opening of the sliding groove 1215 is away from the placement groove 1213; the installation portion 1216 is slidably set on the sliding groove 1215, and the installation portion 1216 is rotatably connected to the rotating portion 1211.

[0089] The provision of a placement slot 1213 on the fixed portion 1212 provides mounting space for the mating portion 1214, thereby making the overall structure of the first rotating member 1021 more compact. The provision of the mating portion 1214 to rotate about the fixed portion 1212 allows the first rotating member 1021 to have angle adjustment capabilities, adapting to the curved area of ​​the cable 210. The mounting portion 1216 directly supports the rotating portion 1211. Sliding the mounting portion 1216 onto the sliding slot 1215 of the mating portion 1214 allows the mounting portion 1216 to adapt to changes in the outer diameter of the cable 210 or the cable connector 220. This facilitates adjusting the force point when the outer diameter changes, enhances the stability of the friction drive of the rotating portion 1211, and reduces slippage or missed detection caused by poor contact between the rotating portion 1211 and the cable 210 or the cable connector 220. The mounting portion 1216 is rotatably connected to the rotating portion 1211, ensuring that the rotating portion 1211 can rotate freely and maintain good contact with the surface of the cable 210.

[0090] It can be understood that the rotation axis of the matching portion 1214 rotating around the fixing portion 1212 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating portion 1211 .

[0091] Exemplarily, the fixing portion 1212 can be welded to the inner wall 1016 of the socket 101 to ensure good structural strength and connection reliability between the two; the matching portion 1214 and the placement groove 1213 are assembled using a transition fit method, and the installation portion 1216 and the slide groove 1215 are assembled using a transition fit method to take into account both assembly accuracy and movement flexibility.

[0092] See Figure 4 and Figure 5In a specific example, the socket 101 has a accommodating cavity 1020; the first transmission component 104 is located in the accommodating cavity 1020, and a through hole 1018 is opened on the outer peripheral wall 1017 of the socket 101. The first driving member 103 is connected to the first transmission component 104 via the through hole 1018. A avoidance opening 1019 is opened on the inner peripheral wall 1016 of the socket 101. The accommodating cavity 1020 is connected with the placement groove 1213 and the slide groove 1215 in sequence through the avoidance opening 1019. Part of the first transmission component 104 passes through the avoidance opening 1019 and the placement groove 1213 in sequence and can be retracted and placed in the slide groove 1215 to be transmission-connected with the rotating part 1211.

[0093] This allows the drive structure 122 and the rotating assembly 102 to be compactly integrated within the socket 101, achieving a rational layout of the transmission path, thereby improving space utilization and power transmission efficiency, and enhancing the applicability of the inspection device 100 in confined environments. Furthermore, the coordinated design of the chute 1215 and the retractable first transmission assembly 104 ensures that the rotating portion 1211 can adjust to changes in the outer diameter of the cable 210 or cable connector 220, effectively adjusting the force point as the diameter changes, and enhancing the stability of the friction drive.

[0094] Among them, the accommodating cavity 1020 is used to accommodate the first transmission component 104, which can prevent the first transmission component 104 from being contaminated by external dust, foreign objects or physical damage; the through hole 1018 is the first driving member 103 as an interface for power transmission between the first transmission component 104, so that the first driving member 103 can be installed on the outside of the socket 101, that is, on the outer peripheral wall 1017 of the socket 101, ensuring that the layout between the first driving member 103 and the first transmission component 104 is reasonable to avoid mutual interference between the two.

[0095] Continue reading Figure 4 In some examples, the driving structure 122 also includes at least two first telescopic members 105, the first telescopic members 105 correspond one-to-one to the rotating part 1211, and the matching part 1214 is provided with a socket matching the first telescopic member 105, the socket is connected to the slide groove 1215, part of the first telescopic member 105 is inserted into the socket, and the first telescopic member 105 is connected to the mounting part 1216; the first telescopic member 105 is configured to, when the socket 101 is sleeved on one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, drive the mounting part 1216 and the rotating part 1211 to extend and retract, so that the rotating part 1211 moves toward or away from the inner wall 1016 of the socket 101 to contact one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220.

[0096] In this way, when the socket 101 is moved from the cable 210 to the cable connector 220, or from the cable connector 220 to the cable 210, the force point of the rotating part 1211 is adjusted by the first telescopic part 105 to enhance the friction driving effect, thereby realizing adaptive adjustment of the rotating part 1211 to the outer diameter of the cable 210 or the cable connector 220, thereby improving the adaptability and operational stability of the inspection equipment 100.

[0097] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the first telescopic member 105. For example, in a specific implementation, the first telescopic member 105 can be set as a telescopic spring. When the sleeve 101 is sleeved on the cable 210 or the cable connector 220, the rotating part 1211 is displaced by the force of the surface of the cable 210 or the cable connector 220, and then the telescopic spring is reset or compressed, driving the installation part 1216 to move, so that the rotating part 1211 always maintains good contact with the surface of the cable 210 or the cable connector 220.

[0098] Alternatively, the first telescopic member 105 can also be configured as an electric push rod, which has a fast response speed and high control accuracy. As mentioned above, the first driving member 103 can be configured to be electrically connected to a programmable logic controller, and accordingly, the electric push rods can be configured to be electrically connected to the programmable logic controller. When the sleeve 101 is sleeved on the cable 210 or the cable connector 220, the programmable logic controller controls each electric push rod to drive the mounting portion 1216 to move, thereby enhancing the operational balance of the inspection device 100 through multi-point synchronous control and reducing the need for manual intervention.

[0099] See Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the driving structure 122 further includes a second driving member 106, a second transmission assembly 107 and at least two floating bearing assemblies; the second driving member 106 is arranged on the socket 101, and the second driving member 106 is connected to the matching portion 1214 through the second transmission assembly 107, and the floating bearing assembly corresponds to the rotating portion 1211 one by one; the second driving member 106 is used to drive the second transmission assembly 107 to transmit and cooperate with the matching portion 1214, so that the matching portion 1214 drives the rotating portion 1211 to rotate relative to the fixed portion 1212; the floating bearing assembly is used to guide part of the first transmission assembly 104 to adapt to the angle change of the matching portion 1214 during the rotation process when the matching portion 1214 rotates, so as to maintain a transmission connection with the rotating portion 1211; wherein, the rotation axis of the rotating portion 1211 rotates following the rotating portion 1211 during the rotation process.

[0100] In this way, through the cooperation of the second driving member 106 and the second transmission assembly 107, the relative positions of the rotating parts 1211 can be adjusted, so that a placement cavity with a variable position can be formed between the rotating parts 1211. When the cable 210 is bent, the rotating part 1211 can adjust the angle according to the curvature change of the cable 210 to ensure that it can always be close to the surface of the cable 210, so that the placement cavity is adapted to the cable 210; by setting a floating bearing assembly, during the rotation of the matching part 1214, a certain angle offset is allowed in the transmission path between the first transmission assembly 104 and the rotating part 1211 to maintain the stability of the transmission.

[0101] In some examples, the first driving member 103 has a first driving shaft 1031, which is connected to the first transmission assembly 104, and the second driving member 106 has a second driving shaft 1061, which is connected to the second transmission assembly 107; wherein the axis of the first driving shaft 1031 is perpendicular to the axis of the cable 210, and the axis of the second driving shaft 1061 is parallel to the axis of the cable 210.

[0102] In this way, the layout of the first driving member 103 and the second driving member 106 is made more reasonable, thereby avoiding transmission interference between the two and affecting the detection efficiency of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 .

[0103] See Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first transmission assembly 104 includes a first rack 1041, a first bevel gear 1042, at least two second bevel gears 1043 and at least two transmission shaft groups; the first rack 1041 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 1020 for circumferential rotation around the socket 101, the first bevel gear 1042 is coaxially connected to the first drive shaft 1031, and the second bevel gear 1043 is coaxially connected to the rotating part 1211 in a one-to-one correspondence; one side of the first rack 1041 is meshed with the first bevel gear 1042, and the transmission shaft group is in a one-to-one correspondence with the second bevel gear 1043, and the transmission shaft group includes at least one axially retractable transmission shaft 1044, and the axial ends of the transmission shaft 1044 both have bevel tooth portions 1045, and the two bevel tooth portions 1045 are respectively meshed with the other side of the first rack 1041 and the corresponding second bevel gear 1043.

[0104] The first drive shaft 1031 is used to drive the first bevel gear 1042 to rotate, so that the first bevel gear 1042, the first rack 1041, the transmission shaft 1044 and the second bevel gear 1043 are engaged and transmitted in sequence, so as to drive the corresponding rotating part 1211 to frictionally rotate relative to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 through the second bevel gear 1043.

[0105] In this way, when the first driving member 103 drives the first driving shaft 1031 to rotate, the first bevel gear 1042 is driven to rotate through the first driving shaft 1031, and the first bevel gear 1042 is engaged with the first rack 1041, pushing the first rack 1041 to move circumferentially in the accommodating cavity 1020; the first rack 1041 transmits power to multiple second bevel gears 1043 through each transmission shaft group, and the second bevel gear 1043 drives the corresponding rotating part 1211 to frictionally rotate relative to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, so as to realize the circumferential rotation of the support member 111 and the socket 101.

[0106] For example, the number of the transmission shaft 1044 can be set to only one, or as Figure 4 As shown, the number of transmission shafts 1044 is set to three, namely the first sub-transmission shaft 1046, the second sub-transmission shaft 1047 and the third sub-transmission shaft 1048; it can be understood that Figure 4 The Z direction indicates the direction in which the first telescopic member 105 drives the rotating portion 1211 to telescopically move along the sliding groove 1215 when the sleeve 101 moves from the cable connector 220 to the cable 210 .

[0107] Among them, during assembly, the bevel tooth portion 1045 at one axial end of the first sub-transmission shaft 1046 is meshed with the first rack 1041, and the axis of the first sub-transmission shaft 1046 is parallel to the axis of the first drive shaft 1031, that is, parallel to the Z direction in the figure; the bevel tooth portion 1045 at one axial end of the second sub-transmission shaft 1047 is meshed with the bevel tooth portion 1045 at the other axial end of the first sub-transmission shaft 1046, and the axis of the second sub-transmission shaft 1047 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating part 1211; the bevel tooth portion 1045 at one axial end of the third sub-transmission shaft 1048 is meshed with the bevel tooth portion 1045 at the other axial end of the second sub-transmission shaft 1047, and the bevel tooth portion 1045 at the other axial end of the third sub-transmission shaft 1048 is meshed with the second bevel gear 1043 on the rotating part 1211, and the axis of the third sub-transmission shaft 1048 is parallel to the axis of the first drive shaft 1031.

[0108] In this way, the power can be transmitted to the rotating portion 1211 through the first transmission assembly 104, so that the rotating portion 1211 rotates around the rotation axis.

[0109] Furthermore, when the first telescopic member 105 drives the rotating part 1211 to move, the transmission shaft 1044 is axially retractable, so that it can always maintain a good meshing state with the first rack 1041 and the second bevel gear 1043, so that the transmission shaft 1044 can adapt to the changes in the outer diameter of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the power transmission of the transmission shaft 1044.

[0110] In specific implementation, the floating bearing assembly includes two floating bearing parts (not shown in the figure), one of the two floating bearing parts is fixedly arranged in the accommodating cavity 1020, and the other is fixedly arranged in the slide groove 1215; the transmission shaft 1044 is movably inserted into the two floating bearing parts so that the two bevel gear portions 1045 are arranged adjacent to the two floating bearing parts in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0111] In this way, the floating bearing component can guide the transmission shaft 1044 to adapt to the angle change when the mating part 1214 drives the rotating part 1211 to rotate, thereby preventing the bevel tooth part 1045 from being disengaged, stuck or generating excessive friction loss with the first bevel gear 1042 and the second bevel gear 1043, thereby facilitating maintaining the continuity and stability of the transmission path.

[0112] Illustratively, the floating bearing may be an angular contact ball bearing, a spherical roller bearing, or a spherical plain bearing, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0113] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In a specific example, the second transmission assembly 107 includes a second rack 1071, a third bevel gear 1072 and at least two fourth bevel gears 1073; the second rack 1071 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 1020 for circumferential rotation around the socket 101, and the partial matching portion 1214 is located in the accommodating cavity 1020 via the avoidance opening 1019, the third bevel gear 1072 is coaxially connected to the second drive shaft 1061, and the fourth bevel gear 1073 is connected to the partial matching portion 1214 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the fourth bevel gear 1073 is connected to the partial matching portion 1214 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the fourth bevel gear 1073 is connected to the second drive shaft 1061. The axis of 073 is parallel to the axis of the third bevel gear 1072, one side of the second rack 1071 is meshed with the third bevel gear 1072, and the other side is meshed with the fourth bevel gear 1073; the second drive shaft 1061 is used to drive the third bevel gear 1072 to rotate, so that the third bevel gear 1072, the second rack 1071 and the fourth bevel gear 1073 are meshed and transmitted in sequence, so as to drive the corresponding matching part 1214 and the rotating part 1211 to rotate relative to the fixed part 1212 through the fourth bevel gear 1073.

[0114] In this way, the third bevel gear 1072 is engaged with the second rack 1071, pushing the second rack 1071 to move circumferentially in the accommodating cavity 1020, and the second rack 1071 drives multiple fourth bevel gears 1073 to rotate synchronously through engagement, and the fourth bevel gear 1073 drives the corresponding matching part 1214 and the rotating part 1211 to deflect the angle to achieve posture adjustment. The entire transmission path is highly modularized and easy to assemble, maintain and replace; the second rack 1071 is arranged circumferentially around the socket 101 to optimize the spatial layout, and the gear meshing transmission method is beneficial to improve the power transmission efficiency.

[0115] It should be noted that, in a specific implementation, the number of the first driving member 103 and the second driving member 106 can be one, wherein the rotating portion 1211 can be driven to rotate by one first driving member 103, and the matching portion 1214 can be driven to rotate by one second driving member 106; or, the number of the first driving member 103 and the second driving member 106 can also be set to be more than two, such as Figure 2 As shown, two second drive members 106 are spaced apart along the circumference of the socket 101; the number of third bevel gears 1072 in the second transmission assembly 107 is correspondingly set to two, so that the second bevel gears 1043 are connected to the second drive shaft 1061 in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, the cooperation of the two second drive members 106 can more efficiently provide the power required for the rotation of the mating portion 1214.

[0116] See Figure 7 In some examples, the rotating assembly 102 also includes at least two second rotating members 1022, and the driving structure 122 also includes a third driving member 108 and a third transmission assembly (not shown) connected to the third driving member 108. The third driving member 108 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall 1017 of the socket 101, and the inner peripheral wall 1016 of the socket 101 is connected to the second rotating member 1022 through the third transmission assembly. The paired second rotating members 1022 are arranged opposite to each other along the axis of the socket 101, and the rotation axis of the second rotating member 1022 is perpendicular to the axis of the cable 210; the third driving member 108 is used to drive the third transmission assembly to cooperate with the second rotating member 1022, so that when the second rotating member 1022 rotates relative to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, it drives the support member 111 and the socket 101 to move along the axial direction of the cable 210.

[0117] In this way, the power output by the third driving member 108 is transmitted to each second rotating member 1022 via the third transmission assembly, causing the second rotating member 1022 to rotate and generate tangential friction with the surface of the cable 210 or the cable connector 220. The tangential friction can push the support member 111 and the socket 101 as a whole to move along the axial direction of the cable 210, thereby realizing the autonomous movement function of the inspection equipment 100 along the axial direction of the cable 210.

[0118] Among them, Figure 7As shown, four second rotating members 1022 are provided on the inner circumferential wall 1016 of the socket 101, located at the ends of two diameters of the socket 101. The two diameters are located on either side of, and adjacent to, the diameter of the socket 101 arranged along the Z direction. In this way, the paired second rotating members 1022 are arranged opposite each other along the axis of the socket 101, forming a symmetrical support structure. This ensures that the inspection device 100 is evenly stressed when moving along the axial direction of the cable 210. This also ensures that the second rotating members 1022 can more fully contact the cable 210 or the cable connector 220, achieving a better frictional rotation effect.

[0119] For example, the second rotating member 1022 can be set as a rotating wheel, the third driving member 108 can be set as a micro motor, and the third transmission component can be adaptively set as a gear meshing transmission structure with reference to the first transmission component 104, which will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

[0120] In some examples, the driving structure 122 also includes at least two second telescopic members (not shown in the figure), the second telescopic members correspond one-to-one to the second rotating members 1022, the second telescopic members are arranged in the accommodating cavity 1020, the second telescopic members are connected to the socket 101, and the inner wall 1016 of the socket 101 is provided with an avoidance hole for avoiding the second telescopic members, and some second telescopic members are connected to the corresponding second rotating members 1022 via the avoidance hole; the second telescopic member is configured to drive the second rotating member 1022 to extend and retract when the socket 101 is sleeved on one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 of the cable system, so that the second rotating member 1022 moves toward or away from the inner wall 1016 of the socket 101 to contact one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220.

[0121] In this way, when the socket 101 is moved from the cable 210 to the cable connector 220, or from the cable connector 220 to the cable 210, the force point of the second rotating member 1022 is adjusted by the second telescopic member to enhance the friction driving effect, thereby realizing the adaptive adjustment of the outer diameter of the cable 210 or the cable connector 220 by the second rotating member 1022, thereby improving the adaptability and operational stability of the inspection equipment 100.

[0122] The specific structure of the second telescopic member can be designed with reference to the structure of the aforementioned first telescopic member 105 , and will not be further described in the embodiment of the present application.

[0123] See Figure 4, exemplarily, the detection component 110 also includes a plurality of second detection members 113, and a second detection member 113 is provided on the connection end of the first telescopic member 105 and the mounting portion 1216 and the connection end of the second telescopic member and the second rotating member 1022; the second detection member 113 corresponding to the first telescopic member 105 is used to detect the pressure applied by the rotating portion 1211 to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220; the second detection member 113 corresponding to the second telescopic member is used to detect the pressure applied by the second rotating member 1022 to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220.

[0124] In this way, the contact pressure information between the inspection device 100 and one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 is obtained through the second detection member 113, so that maintenance personnel can perform maintenance operations when one of the first telescopic member 105 and the second telescopic member is abnormal.

[0125] Specifically, an abnormality in the first telescopic member 105 and the second telescopic member may cause the rotating part 1211 and the second rotating part 1022 to apply too much pressure to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 during rotation, thereby causing surface damage to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220; or, an abnormality in the first telescopic member 105 and the second telescopic member may cause the rotating part 1211 and the second rotating part 1022 to apply too little pressure to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 during rotation, thereby causing insufficient friction between the rotating part 1211 and the second rotating part 1022 and one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, affecting the displacement effect of the rotating part 1211 and the second rotating part 1022 on the first detection member 112, thereby affecting the optical detection efficiency.

[0126] Alternatively, as mentioned above, the first telescopic member 105 is an electric push rod, which is electrically connected to the programmable logic controller. In this way, the second detection member 113 can detect whether the pressure applied by each rotating part 1211 to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 is a preset pressure value. In other words, when any second detection member 113 detects that the pressure applied by the corresponding rotating part 1211 to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 is greater than the preset pressure value, the programmable logic controller controls the output force of the electric push rod corresponding to any second detection member 113 to prevent the rotating part 1211 from damaging the surface of one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220; on the contrary, when the pressure detected is less than the preset pressure value, the programmable logic controller controls the increase in the telescopic amount of the electric push rod to enhance the friction between the rotating part 1211 and the cable 210 and the cable connector 220.

[0127] It should be noted that the preset pressure value can be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0128] See Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments, there are two mating devices 120, and the two mating devices 120 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support member 111; the two socket members 101 are used to be sleeved on the cable 210, and at least one of the two third driving members 108 is used to drive the corresponding third transmission assembly to cooperate with the second rotating member 1022, so that when the second rotating member 1022 rotates frictionally relative to the cable 210, it drives the support member 111 and the two socket members 101 to move along the axial direction of the cable 210, so that the two socket members 101 are sleeved on the cable connector 220 in sequence.

[0129] In this way, by arranging two matching devices 120 at intervals along the extension direction of the support member 111, it is beneficial for the inspection device 100 to maintain a good balance during the movement process, and reduce the occurrence of deviation or tilt.

[0130] For example, in the process of the second rotating member 1022 driving the support member 111 and the two socket members 101 to move axially on the cable 210, it can be driven by one of the two third driving members 108, or the two can be driven alternately, or the two can be driven synchronously, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0131] The support member 111 may be configured as a long plate-shaped structure, and the extending direction of the support member 111 is consistent with the axial direction of the cable 210 .

[0132] It is understandable that when the forces applied by the two cooperating devices 120 to one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 are inconsistent, the inspection device 100 may be tilted relative to the one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, affecting the normal movement of the inspection device 100. In this regard, in a specific implementation, an electronic level 114 may be provided on the support member 111 to detect the levelness of the inspection device 100 during movement. This facilitates maintenance personnel to adjust and check the first telescopic member 105 and the second telescopic member 105 of the two cooperating devices 120 when the inspection device 100 is tilted, thereby ensuring smoother movement of the inspection device 100.

[0133] Furthermore, the detection component 110 also includes a third detection member (not shown in the figure); when the socket 101 adjacent to the cable connector 220 is sleeved on the cable connector 220, the third driving member 108 corresponding to the socket 101 sleeved on the cable connector 220 is used to drive the corresponding third transmission component to cooperate with the second rotating member 1022 for transmission, so that the second rotating member 1022 frictionally rotates relative to the cable connector 220; the third driving member 108 corresponding to the socket 101 sleeved on the cable 210 is used to reversely drive the corresponding third transmission component to cooperate with the second rotating member 1022 for transmission, so that the second rotating member 1022 frictionally rotates in the opposite direction relative to the cable 210; the third detection member is used to detect whether the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 are disconnected when the second rotating member 1022 frictionally rotates in the opposite direction relative to the cable 210.

[0134] In this way, a pulling effect is formed on the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 by the second rotating parts 1022 on the two cooperating devices 120, so that the connection status of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 can be detected by using the third detection part. Therefore, when the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 become loose or detached due to a weak connection, it is convenient for maintenance personnel to tighten or replace the two, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of signals and power inside the cable 210.

[0135] For example, the third detection member can be configured as a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor collects information about changes in the reaction force applied to the second rotating member 1022 during reverse friction driving, thereby determining whether the connection between the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 is loose or disconnected. When the connection between the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 is loose, the resistance caused by reverse friction will significantly decrease. Thus, when the pressure sensor detects an abnormal signal, it alerts maintenance personnel to conduct an inspection.

[0136] See Figure 2 In some examples, the socket 101 includes two arc-shaped portions 1011 and two assembly portions 1012; the two arc-shaped portions 1011 are symmetrically arranged so that the arc openings and arc ends of the two arc-shaped portions 1011 are opposite to each other, and the two assembly portions 1012 are both located between the two arc-shaped portions 1011, and the arc ends of one of the two arc-shaped portions 1011 are respectively connected to the arc ends of the other through the two assembly portions 1012 to jointly form a circular cavity, and the rotating component 102 is located in the circular cavity.

[0137] In this way, the overall structural design of the socket 101 is relatively simple, making it easier to assemble and maintain.

[0138] Among them, the assembly part 1012 can be an arc-shaped assembly seat, which has an arc-shaped cavity 1002 inside. The two arc-shaped parts 1011 are inserted into the arc-shaped cavity 1002 to connect with the assembly part 1012, and the two arc-shaped parts 1011 are connected to each other to form an accommodating cavity 1020.

[0139] Furthermore, the socket 101 further includes a connecting portion 1013 ; the connecting portion 1013 is connected to a side of one of the two assembly portions 1012 away from the annular cavity, and the connecting portion 1013 is detachably connected to the support member 111 .

[0140] In this way, the connecting part 1013 is connected to the side of one of the two assembly parts 1012 away from the annular cavity to avoid the connecting part 1013 interfering with the layout of the rotating component 102, making the layout more reasonable; at the same time, the connecting part 1013 is detachably connected to the support part 111, so that the disassembly and assembly between the socket 101 and the support part 111 is more convenient, which is conducive to improving the maintenance and assembly efficiency of the inspection equipment 100.

[0141] For example, the connection portion 1013 and the support member 111 may be fixed by means of threaded connection, snap connection, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0142] Alternatively, in some examples, the connecting portion 1013 includes a plug-in section 1014 and two limiting sections 1015; the plug-in section 1014 is provided with a plug-in hole that matches the support member 111, the plug-in section 1014 is plugged into the support member 111 through the plug-in hole, and the two limiting sections 1015 are both connected to the support member 111, and the two limiting sections 1015 are respectively abutted against the two sides of the plug-in section 1014.

[0143] In this way, by plugging the plug-in section 1014 into the support member 111, the connection structure 121 is simplified, and quick installation and disassembly between the socket 101 and the support member 111 can be achieved. The limiting section 1015 forms an effective lateral limiting protection for the plug-in section 1014 to prevent the plug-in section 1014 from loosening or dislocation due to vibration, etc., thereby improving the connection stability between the socket 101 and the support member 111.

[0144] See Figures 1 to 7 An embodiment of the present application further provides a cable system, including a system body 200 and an inspection device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, which is arranged on the system body 200.

[0145] The overall structure and working principle of the inspection device 100 are the same as those in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0146] The cable system provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with an inspection device 100. When the sleeve 101 is sleeved onto one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 of the system body 200, the driving structure 122 is used to make the rotating component 102 contact with the cable 210 and the cable connector 220. The driving structure 122 drives the rotating component 102 to rotate relative to the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 of the system body 200 to drive the support 111 and the sleeve 101 to rotate along the circumference of the cable 210. When the rotating component 102 moves from the cable 210 to the cable connector 220 or from the cable connector 220 to the cable 210 along the axial direction of the cable 210, the driving structure 122 can make the rotating component 102 adapt to the different outer diameters of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 to ensure that the rotating component 102 maintains contact with the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 for friction rotation, so that the support 111 and the sleeve 101 can rotate along the axial direction of the cable 210. Component 111 can always drive the first detection component 112 to rotate along the circumference of the cable 210 and move along the axial direction of the cable 210, so that when the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 are optically inspected by the first detection component 112, the optical inspection of the first detection component 112 can normally cover various positions of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, thereby eliminating the need for manual handheld optical inspection probes for inspection, making it more convenient to use; on the other hand, the inspection device 100 is used by putting the sleeve 101 on one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220, and the structural design is compact and does not require a large operating space.

[0147] In some examples, the system body 200 includes at least two cables 210 and at least one cable connector 220 ; two adjacent cables 210 are connected via a cable connector 220 , and the socket 101 in the inspection device 100 is sleeved onto one of the cables 210 and the cable connector 220 .

[0148] In this way, the cable 210 is laid to form a continuous line through the cable connector 220, and the inspection equipment 100 is sleeved on one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220 through the sleeve 101, and the first detection part 112 is used to move axially along the cable 210 and / or rotate circumferentially along the cable 210 to perform optical detection on at least one of the cable 210 and the cable connector 220.

[0149] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein.
