[0072] The working principle of the universal test device for USB wires in the embodiments of the present utility model is as follows:
[0073] Reference Figure 1-2 , when the type of the wire to be tested is a 2-core wire, the switch is switched to the 2-core test gear; when the type of the wire to be tested is a 4-core wire, the switch is switched to the 4-core test gear; when the type of the wire to be tested is a 9-core wire, the switch is switched to the 9-core test gear.

The TYPE-C plug is inserted into any TYPE-C plug female socket unit, and the Micro plug is inserted into any Micro plug female socket unit.
[0074] Taking the 2-core wire of the wire to be tested, USB-A to TYPE-C head as an example, when the wire is normal, the current flow is: VCC input terminal → pin 1 → VCC wire core → pin 10 → LED1 → pin 11 → GND wire core → pin 2 → resistor R1 → 2-core interface → ground, thereby causing the LED1 to light up, and the remaining LED lamps are not connected to the circuit; if the LED1 does not light up, the wire is abnormal.
[0075] Taking the type of the wire to be tested as a 4-core wire and the USB-A to TYPE-C head as an example, when the wire is normal, the current flow is: VCC input terminal → pin 1 → VCC wire core → pin 10 → LED1 → pin 11 → GND wire core → pin 2 → LED2 → pin 3 → D- wire core → pin 12 → LED3 → pin 13 → D+ wire core → pin 4 → resistor R2 → 4-core interface → ground, so that LED1, LED2 and LED3 are all on, and the rest of the LED lights are not connected to the circuit; if LED1, LED2 and LED3 are all off, then the wire is abnormal, such as: the two solder joints at any one end are cross-welded, the solder joint of any one wire core is loose or any one wire core is broken; if LED1 and LED2 are on, but LED3 is off, then it is like the D+ wire core and the D- wire core are short-circuited by welding.
[0076] The test of other wire core types and plug types can refer to the above principle, so that the abnormal situation of the wire core can be judged by observing the lighting conditions of the LED light group, improving the test convenience and saving the production cost.
[0077] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the patent of the present invention, but the protection scope of the patent of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the patent of the present invention, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the patent of the present invention, makes equivalent replacements or changes, all belong to the protection scope of the patent of the present invention.
