[0002] In modern industrial automation systems, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) are widely used in various automation control and monitoring tasks, and are the core components to ensure system stability and efficiency. Therefore, the testing of PLCs is crucial for the normal operation of the entire industrial automation system. The accuracy and efficiency of testing directly affect the reliability, safety and operating cost of the system. However, the existing PLC testing process still has many limitations and technical problems, which need to be improved.
[0003] At present, PLC testing mainly relies on manual operation, and the process is complex and prone to errors. First, the technician needs to manually set the test program according to the specific configuration of the PLC cabinet to be tested. This process usually requires a deep understanding of the specifications, functions and interfaces of each PLC module to ensure that the test program can cover all possible working scenarios. However, due to the wide variety of PLC modules and complex configurations, the technician not only needs to spend a lot of time, but also is prone to errors in setting the test program due to oversight, resulting in incomplete coverage or incorrect settings.

The contact 5 is contacted with the measured terminal (spring 4 is pressed), and the measured terminal and the test terminal are conducted.
[0073] 1. A method for implementing a PLC cabinet non-insurance terminal integrated test tool
[0074] 1.1 Material selection
[0075] The base and the terminal support can be selected from materials with excellent insulation performance, such as polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or epoxy resin composite material, to ensure electrical isolation and avoid short circuit. The contact 5 should be made of metal materials with high conductivity and corrosion resistance, such as copper alloy or silver-plated copper, to ensure the stability of electrical contact and oxidation resistance. The spring 4 can be made of materials with good elasticity and fatigue resistance, such as stainless steel or nickel alloy.
[0076] 1.2 Structure design of non-insurance terminal 6
[0077] The base of each non-insurance terminal 6 is designed as a cuboid structure, and a through hole is formed on the side with the smallest surface area of the base to accommodate the extension and retraction of the contact 5. The contact 5 is designed as a cylindrical structure, with its axis parallel to the through hole, and can move in and out of the through hole. The contact 5 is provided with a restoring force by the spring 4 inside the base, so that it can return to its original position after being pushed in, ensuring reliable contact and convenient plug-in and plug-out operation. To ensure the firmness of the connection between the contact 5 and the base, threads can be designed at the bottom end of the contact 5 and screwed into the corresponding holes in the base, or fixed through a buckle structure.
[0078] 1.3 Connection of terminal support and non-insurance terminal 6
[0079] The terminal support is designed as a cuboid structure, and the side wall is provided with a plurality of holes. The side wall of the non-insurance terminal 6 is provided with corresponding protrusions, which are connected to the terminal support through interference fit. This design ensures the stability of the terminal during testing, avoiding loosening or deviation. At the same time, the interference fit also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the non-insurance terminal 6, reducing maintenance costs.
[0080] 1.4 Reset mechanism of contact 5
[0081] The contact 5 is connected to the base through the spring 4, and the axis of the spring 4 coincides with the axis of the contact 5, ensuring that when the spring 4 is compressed, the contact 5 can extend and retract along the axis of the through hole without deviation. The spring constant of the spring 4 needs to be designed according to the contact requirements and test frequency of the contact 5, in order to avoid fatigue or poor contact of the spring 4 after long-term use.
[0082] 1.5 Chamfer design
[0083] In order to improve the durability of the structure, the edges of the base near the contact 5 and away from the terminal support are chamfered. Chamfering not only reduces wear and tear over time, but also prevents mechanical damage caused by operator error or misplug, thereby prolonging the service life of the test terminal.
[0084] 2. Implementation method of back clip
[0085] 2.1 Back clip structure design
[0086] The back clip is designed as a cuboid structure and can be detachably fixed to the side wall of the shell 1 through a fixing bolt.
[0087] Because the order of the PLC interface is fixed, during the assembly of the PLC, the PLC interface may be in reverse order or in normal order. Therefore, in this embodiment, the back clip can be flexibly adjusted on both sides of the shell 1, ensuring that the test terminal can be fixed with the back clip on the same side regardless of the direction of insertion, so as to realize the tensioning of the test terminal and the PLC.
[0088] The material of the back clip should be lightweight and strong, such as aluminum alloy or high-strength plastic, to ensure sufficient mechanical strength and durability.
[0089] 3. Implementation of non-fuse test plug
[0090] The design of the test plug is based on the aforementioned PLC cabinet non-fuse terminal integrated test fixture. The non-fuse terminal 6 is connected to the adapter via a wire, and a cable clamp is provided on the top of the housing 1 to secure the wire. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0091] The conductor is made of a cable material with good conductivity and heat resistance, such as tinned copper wire, and is covered with an insulating layer. One end of the conductor is inserted through the through-hole of the base and connected to the bottom of the contact 5 by welding or crimping to ensure stable conductivity and reliable contact.
[0092] The other end of the wire is connected to the adapter. The structural design of the adapter should match the interface of the device under test to ensure a fast and stable electrical connection.
[0093] To further enhance the tensile strength of the plug, an anti-pullout design should be provided at the outlet of the through-hole for the wire, such as a wire fixing clip or a reinforced sleeve, to prevent the wire from accidentally falling off during use.
[0094] 4. Implementation method of PLC test cabinet
[0095] The PLC test cabinet is connected to the PLC device through the non-fuse test plug mentioned above. Multiple test sockets can be designed inside the cabinet to accommodate various types of PLC devices. The specific implementation methods of the cabinet include:
[0096] Socket Design: The socket and test plug are designed to provide a stable electrical connection after the plug is inserted. The conductive parts inside the socket can be made of copper alloy or other highly conductive materials, and are equipped with a spring 4 structure to ensure reliable contact with the plug contacts 5.
[0097] Modular design: The cabinet features a modular design with removable components such as test sockets, power supply modules, and signal acquisition modules, facilitating maintenance and expansion. Test sockets can be flexibly configured to accommodate different types of PLC testing.
[0098] Cable management: Reasonable cable management channels are designed inside the cabinet to ensure that the wires are arranged neatly, avoiding signal interference and cable wear.
[0099] Ventilation and heat dissipation: An effective ventilation system is designed inside the cabinet to ensure that electronic equipment maintains a suitable operating temperature during long-term testing, avoiding equipment failure due to overheating.
[0100] 5. Safety and reliability design of test system
[0101] Overload protection: a PLC cabinet non-fuse terminal integrated test tool can prevent damage to the device caused by accidental short circuit or overload by designing current overload protection device. Thermistor or fuse can be used as overload protection device.
[0102] Anti-misoperation design: to prevent misoperation, clear insertion direction and operation prompt are marked on the cabinet and test plug to ensure that the operator uses the equipment correctly.
[0103] Anti-interference design: the wire and connecting device should have good anti-electromagnetic interference ability, a shielding layer can be coated outside the wire, or a filter circuit is used to avoid inaccurate test results caused by external interference during the test.
[0104] The above describes the technical solutions provided by the utility model in further detail through several specific embodiments, in order to highlight the advantages and benefits of the technical solutions provided by the utility model, but the above several specific embodiments are not used as the limitation of the utility model, any reasonable modification and improvement of the utility model, combination and equivalent replacement of the embodiments, etc. based on the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
