Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a testing device, in particular to a testing device for a central control unit of an EMU. Background Art

[0002] The central control unit (CCU) of an EMU is a core component of an EMU or other complex system. It integrates multiple functional modules to control and manage various subsystems. The CCU usually includes a central processing card (CP card) and a signal board card. The CP card is responsible for processing and coordinating the operation of the entire CCU, and the signal board card is used to receive and send signals. These boards can process digital signals (such as switch status) and analog signals (such as voltage or current readings). In the daily maintenance of the CCU, it is crucial to test whether these boards are working properly. However, the CCU testing of existing EMUs is mainly carried out in network test cabinets in the laboratory. These test platforms cannot meet the needs of on-site testing, and some ports are not tested. Utility Model Content

The housing comprises an upper cover and a lower housing, the upper cover being detachably connected to the lower housing. The upper cover and the lower housing are closed to form a receiving chamber. The cables are disposed in the receiving chamber and pass through the lower housing. The operating button assembly is disposed in the upper cover, each operating button being connected to the cables. The wiring sockets are disposed in the upper cover and each wiring socket is connected to the cables.

[0005] The utility model forms a accommodating chamber through the design of the upper cover and the lower shell, which protects the internal components from the influence of the external environment, facilitates the management and wiring of cables, and provides a EMU central control unit test device with a compact structure, easy to carry and use, making on-site testing possible.

[0006] In another exemplary embodiment of a test device for a central control unit of an EMU, a set of wiring holes is provided in the sidewall of the lower housing, through which cables are routed and connected to the EMU central control unit. Providing wiring holes in the sidewall of the lower housing allows cables to be routed directly and connected to the EMU central control unit, simplifying the connection process and improving the practicality and ease of operation of the test device.

[0007] In another exemplary embodiment of a test device for a central control unit of an EMU, the test device further includes a set of protective sleeves, each of which is plugged into a wiring hole, through which cables are threaded. This enhances protection for the cables, preventing damage from environmental factors (such as dust and moisture), thereby improving the durability and reliability of the test device.

[0008] In another schematic embodiment of a test device for a central control unit of an EMU, the operating button assembly includes a group of buttons and a group of lever switches. The buttons are evenly arranged in rows along the length direction of the upper cover and in several columns along the width direction of the upper cover to form a first monitoring part. The first monitoring part is located at the lower left corner of the upper cover, and each button is connected to a cable. The lever switches are evenly arranged in rows along the length direction of the upper cover and in several columns along the width direction of the upper cover to form a second monitoring part. The second monitoring part is located on the right side of the upper cover, and each lever switch is connected to a cable. By designing the first monitoring part and the second monitoring part, the operating button assembly can more intuitively correspond to the different functional modules of the CCU, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the test. The uniform arrangement of buttons and lever switches makes the operation more intuitive and convenient, and reduces the possibility of operational errors.

The orderly arrangement of the wiring sockets forms the third monitoring unit, making wiring more standardized and orderly, facilitating management and maintenance, and also improving test accuracy. The design of the connection holes in the upper cover and the mounting slots in the lower shell facilitates assembly and disassembly of the test device, facilitating rapid deployment and recovery in different testing scenarios.

[0010] In another exemplary embodiment of a test device for a central control unit of an EMU, a plurality of connection holes are formed extending from the peripheral edge of the upper cover, and a plurality of installation slots are opened along the height direction of the lower shell, and the connection holes correspond to the installation slots.

[0011] In another exemplary embodiment of a test device for a central control unit of an EMU, the shell is made of insulating material.

[0012] The test device for the central control unit of an EMU of the present invention can test the CCU in a field environment, meeting the needs of field testing; it can test all ports in the CCU, including those that are not used in the project; the design of button components and wiring sockets improves the flexibility and accuracy of the test; and the use of an insulating material shell enhances the safety and durability of the device.
