Once the testing equipment and cables are connected, they no longer need to be disassembled, thus avoiding damage caused by frequent disassembly and reassembly of cables and testing equipment, as well as the assembly process before testing and the disassembly and reassembly process after testing, significantly improving testing efficiency.

[0021] It should be noted that the cable adapter vehicle described in this utility model is used for, but not limited to, inspection during aircraft construction. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the cable adapter vehicle in aircraft construction as an example for explanation. The principle of the cable adapter vehicle in other inspection scenarios is essentially the same as that in aircraft construction, and will not be elaborated here.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cable transfer vehicle in one embodiment of the present invention. The cable transfer vehicle includes: a vehicle body 1 and a storage device 2.

[0023] The vehicle body 1 includes a body 11 and a partition 12. The partition 12 is disposed within the body 11 to separate a cable compartment 101 and an equipment compartment 102 within the vehicle body. The body 11 has a cable outlet hole communicating with the cable compartment 101, and the partition 12 has a cable passage hole 121 communicating with the cable compartment 101 and the equipment compartment 102. The storage device 2 includes a winding post 21, which is disposed within the cable compartment 101.

[0024] In use, the testing device 3 is placed inside the equipment compartment 102. As is easily understood, the equipment compartment 102 has a door or opening through which the testing device is placed. These testing devices 3 are powered by their own batteries or by an external power source connected to the testing area. One end of the testing cable is connected to the testing device 3, and the other end passes through the cable guide hole and is wound around the winding post 21. In use, simply pull the cable out of the cable guide hole and connect it to the object being tested to begin testing.

[0025] In some embodiments, the cable compartment 101 is located above the equipment compartment 102, and the cable outlet is located on the top surface of the vehicle body 11. In this embodiment, the vehicle body 11 adopts an open design, with the open top serving as the cable outlet.

[0026] In some embodiments, the vehicle body 1 also includes a plurality of casters 13 disposed on the underside of the vehicle body 11 to facilitate moving the cable transfer vehicle between the detection area and the storage area.

[0027] In some embodiments, the cable transfer vehicle has multiple storage devices 2, and the partition 12 has multiple cable passage holes 121 corresponding to the storage devices 2. One or more different devices 3 can be placed in the equipment compartment 102. The detection cables connected to the devices can pass through one or more different equipment compartments 102 and be wound on different winding posts 21.

[0028] In some embodiments, the storage device 2 further includes a handle 22, the winding post 21 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 11, the handle 22 is disposed on the outer side wall of the vehicle body 11 and fixedly connected to the winding post 21, the handle 22 can drive the winding post 21 to rotate, so that the cable can be pulled out more smoothly for testing work.

[0029] In some embodiments, the vehicle body 1 further includes a mounting plate 14, which is disposed within the cable compartment 101 and fixedly connected to the vehicle body 11 and / or the partition 12. The winding post 21 is horizontally arranged, with one end rotatably connected to the vehicle body 11 and the other end rotatably connected to the mounting plate 14. The mounting plate 14 provides better support for the winding post 21, allowing it to stably carry the cable.

[0030] In some embodiments, the storage device 2 further includes a baffle 23, which has a connecting hole. The baffle 23 is sleeved on the winding post 21 through the connecting hole and slidably connected to the winding post 21. Sometimes, a detection device 3 has multiple cables that need to be used simultaneously. These cables can be wound around a winding post 21, with the baffle 23 separating them to prevent tangling. When in use, turning a handle 22 allows multiple cables to be pulled out simultaneously. When only one cable is wound on the winding post 21, simply pushing the baffle 23 to one end of the winding post 21 does not affect the normal use of the winding post 21.

[0031] In some embodiments, the storage device 2 further includes a connector limiter 24 connected to the vehicle body 11. The connector limiter 24 has a through hole sized to allow the cable to pass through but prevent the cable connector from passing through. Thus, when the cable is retracted onto the winding post 21, the cable connector will be locked onto the connector limiter 24, eliminating the need to search for the connector in the cable for the next use.

[0032] In some embodiments, the vehicle body 11 forms a groove at the cable outlet, and a plurality of connector limiters 24 are slidably connected to the groove. The position of the connector can be changed by sliding the connector limiters 24, thereby making it more convenient to use.

[0033] In some embodiments, the connector limiter 24 includes two parallel and spaced-apart limit rods, with a through hole formed between the two limit rods. The ends of the two limit rods are detachably connected for placing and replacing different cables. In this embodiment, there are two opposing slides, and the two ends of the limit rods are slidably connected to the two slides respectively. Furthermore, the two storage devices 2 share one connector limiter 24.

[0034] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figure 1The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: The testing device 3 is placed inside the equipment compartment 102. One end of the testing cable is installed with the testing device 3, and the other end passes through the cable hole and is wound around the winding post 21. The cable also passes through the through hole of the connector limiter 24, and the connector is locked onto the connector limiter 24. In use, simply push the cable transfer cart to the monitoring area. The cable is pulled out from the connector limiter 24 and connected to the object to be tested for testing. After testing, the cable is separated from the object to be tested, the handle 22 is rotated to rewrap the cable around the winding post 21 for storage, and then the cable transfer cart is pushed back to the storage area.

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
