[0002] The development of electromechanical equipment has driven the development of cables. Cables, as an important medium for realizing system information transmission and power supply, are like the "neural network" of electromechanical equipment, and are an important guarantee for realizing system functions. Cable assemblies are an assembly combination of a group of wires, cables, connectors and accessories. After processing, sorting and arrangement, they can be installed or disassembled as a component. All wiring of the whole machine can be assembled by several cable assemblies.

High-speed oscilloscopes are usually used to detect intermittent open circuit faults in cable assemblies. These oscilloscopes are not only expensive, but also large in size and complex to operate, making them difficult to promote in industrial field environments.

A Schmitt trigger 14 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 12. The Schmitt trigger 14 adopts the 74HC14 model. The Schmitt trigger 14 is used to shape the high-level pulse with noise and irregular edges generated by the intermittent open-circuit fault of the cable assembly under test to form a clear and regular pulse signal, which is used as the trigger clock of the D trigger 13. A resistor 15 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 12. The resistor 15 adopts a power resistor of ten kiloohms. A battery 19 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the casing 1. The right side of the casing 1 is fixedly connected to an insulating plate 18.

When the D trigger 13 detects an intermittent open circuit fault, it identifies the rising edge of the shaped high-level pulse generated by the intermittent open circuit fault of the cable assembly to be tested, and outputs a high-level signal on the rising edge to turn on the result indicator light 4. When the D trigger 13 does not detect an intermittent open circuit fault, the result indicator light 4 remains in the off state.
