[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] See also Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a connector contact detection device, including a base 1, a motor 2 inside the base 1, an output shaft above the motor 2, a rotary table 3 at the upper end of the output shaft, and multiple sets of sliders 4 at the lower end of the rotary table 3, with the sliders 4 respectively inserted into the base 1.

[0020] Furthermore, the rotary table 3, under the action of the motor 2, forms a rotating structure with the base 1 through the output shaft, the slider 4, and the base 1. Thus, the rotary table 3 facilitates the movement of the connector 11 so as to perform various processing on the connector 11.

[0021] The rotary table 3 has multiple sets of fixed frames 5 on its upper surface, and each fixed frame 5 has a micro motor 6. The micro motor 6 has an output shaft, and the other end of the output shaft is connected to a hollow rod 7. A telescopic rod 8 is inserted inside the hollow rod 7. A spring 9 is installed inside the hollow rod 7, and the other end of the spring 9 is connected to the telescopic rod 8. The other end of the telescopic rod 8 is provided with a limiting plate 10, and a connector 11 is placed between the limiting plates 10.

[0022] Furthermore, the hollow rod 7, under the action of the micro motor 6, forms a rotating structure with the fixed frame 5 through the output shaft, and the limiting plate 10 forms an elastic telescopic structure with the fixed frame 5 through the hollow rod 7, the telescopic rod 8, the spring 9, so that the limiting plate 10 can be driven to squeeze and limit the connector 11 under the action of the spring 9, so that the micro motor 6 can drive the connector 11 to rotate in a limited position, thereby ensuring that the probe 17 can perform comprehensive testing on the stainless steel ring.

[0023] A support frame 12 is provided on one side of the rotary table 3 on the base 1, and an electric push rod 13 is embedded in the horizontal plate of the support frame 12. A telescopic arm 14 is provided below the electric push rod 13, and a motor box is provided at the lower end of the telescopic arm 14. A servo motor 15 is provided inside the motor box, and an output shaft is provided below the servo motor 15. A connecting plate 16 is provided on the outer wall of the output shaft, and a probe 17 is provided at the lower end of the connecting plate 16.

[0024] Furthermore, under the action of the electric push rod 13, the servo motor 15 forms a vertical lifting structure with the support frame 12 through the telescopic arm 14, thereby ensuring that the probe 17 can contact the stainless steel ring on the connector 11. Under the action of the servo motor 15, the probe 17 forms a rotating structure with the output shaft, the connecting plate 16 and the motor box, thereby facilitating the rotation of the probe 17 by the servo motor 15, so as to clean the probe 17 regularly.

[0025] The probe 17 has a contact sensing line 18 on top, and the other end of the contact sensor 18 is connected to the sensor inside the base 1. The sensor has a wire, and the other end of the wire is connected to the motor 2. It should be noted that the information detected by the probe 17 can be transmitted to the sensor through the contact sensing line 18, and the sensor outputs a signal to the control system of the motor 2, thereby triggering the start and stop of the motor 2 through the signal transmitted by the sensor.

[0026] Furthermore, the probe 17 forms an electrical connection structure with the motor 2 through the contact sensing line 18, the sensor, and the wire, so that the motor 2 can be driven to stop working in time when the probe 17 fails to detect stainless steel.

[0027] Working principle: When using the connector contact detection device, the limiting plates 10 can be pushed to both sides to place the connector 11 to be tested between the limiting plates 10. Then, the limiting plates 10 can be released, and under the action of the spring 9, the two sets of limiting plates 10 will squeeze and limit the connector 11, so as to limit the subsequent transmission of the connector 11. After the connector 11 is limited, the motor 2 can be started. The output shaft of the motor 2 drives the rotary table 3 to rotate, so that the connector 11 can be transmitted to the probe 17 through the rotary table 3. When the connector 11 moves directly under the probe 17, the electric push rod 13 can be started. The electric push rod 13 drives the connecting plate 16 to descend through the telescopic arm 14, so as to ensure that the probe 17 makes contact with the stainless steel ring on the connector 11 for detection. If the probe 17 detects stainless steel, the connector is tested. 11. The transmission continues. If stainless steel is not detected, the information is transmitted to the sensor via the contact sensing line 18. This allows the sensor and the wire to drive the motor 2 to stop working, thus completing the automatic detection process of the stainless steel ring inside the connector 11. During use, the probe 17 can periodically start the servo motor 15 to drive the probe 17 to rotate, so as to clean the probe 17 periodically and ensure the detection effect of the probe 17 on the connector 11. During the detection of the connector 11, the micro motor 6 can be started. The micro motor 6 drives the connector 11 to rotate in a limited position via the output shaft, so that the probe 17 can perform multi-directional contact detection of the entire stainless steel ring, further ensuring the detection effect of the device on the stainless steel ring inside the connector 11. This is the usage process of the connector contact detection device.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
