Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] Figure 1 A connection diagram of a cable network continuity detection system for satellites according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 A cable network continuity detection system for satellites according to an embodiment of the present application includes: A detected circuit 4 is configured to add a detection resistor at each level separation surface of a cable network, and define the first separation surface to the last separation surface connected with the connection module 3 as a first level separation surface, a second level separation surface, …, an n level separation surface. All separation surfaces except the first level separation surface are configured with a wireless detection module. The connection module 3 is connected with the detection port of the detected circuit 4, configured to provide a plug-in tool 33 corresponding to the detection port, and realize the connection between the detected detection port and the detection module 2. The detection module 2 is connected with the connection module 3, configured to detect the current in the detected circuit 4, and obtain a detection current value. The host computer module 1 is connected with the detection module 2, configured to receive the detection current value and the wireless signal sent by the wireless detection module, perform fault detection based on the detection current value and the wireless signal, and obtain a detection result.

[0027] Optionally, the separation surface includes a plug end and a socket end. The No. 1 pin of the socket end of the adjacent separation surface is connected with the No. 1 pin of the plug end of the separation surface of the previous level, the No. 2 pin of the socket end of the adjacent separation surface is connected with the No. 2 pin of the plug end of the separation surface of the previous level, and the first level separation surface is connected with the connection module 3 through the No. 1 pin and the No. 2 pin of the socket end. The No. 4 pin and the No. 5 pin of the socket end of all separation surfaces except the first level separation surface are connected.

[0028] Optionally, the circuit under test 4 further includes multiple detection resistors, wherein each separation surface has a corresponding detection resistor, and the n-level separation surface has an additional corresponding detection resistor. Each separation surface is connected in parallel with the corresponding sensing resistor through pins 1 and 2 on the plug end, and the n-level separation surface is also connected in parallel with the corresponding sensing resistor through pins 1 and 2 on the socket end.

[0031] In this embodiment, a detection resistor is added to the circuit of each separation surface. A 5V DC voltage is input to the detection port. After the connectors of each separation surface are properly connected, the detection resistors are connected in parallel in the circuit. If a connector or line at a certain stage is disconnected, the number of detection resistors connected in parallel in the line changes, thereby changing the current in the detection loop.

The communication unit comprises an RS485 communication port 23.

[0036] Optionally, the host computer module 1 comprises: An RS485-to-RS232 unit is connected with the detection module 2, and is configured to perform serial communication on the detection current value uploaded by the detection module 2. A PC unit is connected with the RS485-to-RS232 unit, and is configured to receive the detection current value transmitted by the RS485-to-RS232 unit and the wireless signal transmitted by the wireless detection module, perform fault detection based on the detection current value and the wireless signal, and obtain a detection result.

[0037] Optionally, the RS485-to-RS232 unit is further configured to receive the detection current value transmitted by multiple detection modules 2 in a networking environment, and perform serial communication on the received detection current value.
