[0020] The present application will now describe an automated cable testing adapter provided in its embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram below shows the structure of the present invention. The automated cable testing adapter includes an adapter box body 1, which is a cuboid structure. One side of the adapter box body 1 is provided with a detection connection port 2, and the other side of the adapter box body 1 is detachably connected to a power strip 3. The inside of the power strip 3 is provided with a first connection port corresponding to the detection connection port 2, and the outside of the power strip 3 is provided with a second connection port 5 corresponding to the first connection port. The second connection port 5 is connected to the corresponding first connection port. The detection connection port 2 and the corresponding first connection port are connected by a cable.
[0022] Furthermore, the detection terminal 2 is connected to an automated cable testing device; the second terminal 5 is connected to the cable under test. In use, the automated cable testing device is connected to the detection terminal 2, and the cable under test is connected to the second terminal 5. The automated cable testing device performs automated testing on the cable under test through the automated cable testing adapter.
[0023] Specifically, the power strip 3 includes multiple detachably connected plug units 4. Each plug unit 4 has a first connector and a second connector 5 on both sides. Different types of cables under test are connected to different plug units 4 through their respective second connectors 5. In this embodiment, the power strip 3 includes six plug units 4.
[0024] Furthermore, each wiring unit 4 is equipped with a tag, and the adapter box body 1 is equipped with a tag reader for identifying the tags. In this embodiment, the tags and tag readers specifically use RFID technology, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0025] Furthermore, the labels correspond to the model number of the second connector 5 on the connector unit 4, with different labels corresponding to different second connector 5 and cable models. The label reader identifies the labels and can detect the model and location of the connector unit 4 connected to the adapter box, saving staff time and effort in locating the connector unit 4 and improving cable inspection efficiency.
[0026] Furthermore, the adapter box body 1 is equipped with a display screen, which is electrically connected to the label reader to display the connection information of the power strip 3. Through the display screen, staff can clearly and quickly query and locate whether the power strip 4 corresponding to a certain type of cable under test is inserted into the adapter box body 1, as well as the specific position of the power strip 4 after insertion into the adapter box body 1. This significantly reduces the time required for staff to find the corresponding connection port of the cable under test and achieves standardized digital management of the cable under test.
[0027] Furthermore, there are multiple detection ports 2, which are evenly spaced and horizontally arranged on the adapter box body 1.
[0028] Furthermore, the outer sides of the power strip 3 are provided with slide rails at both ends, and dustproof baffles 6 are slidably connected to the slide rails. When the power strip unit 4 is not in use, the dustproof baffles 6 seal the second wiring port 5 to prevent exposure and prevent dust and other impurities from entering the second wiring port 5 and the interior of the adapter box body 1, thereby reducing wear at the second wiring port 5.
[0029] The method of using this utility model is as follows: When multiple different types of cables need to be tested, the plug bar 3 is installed on the adapter box body 1, and the connecting cables in the adapter box body 1 are connected one by one to the first connection port. The cable automatic testing device and the testing connection port 2 are connected. According to the plug unit 4 information displayed on the screen, the operator determines the model and specific position of the plug unit 4, rearranges the plug units 4 according to the model and quantity of the cables to be tested, connects the cables to be tested to the second connection port 5 of the corresponding plug unit 4, and finally starts the cable automatic testing device for testing.
[0030] In this invention, the automated cable testing device can be quickly installed with the cable under test via the adapter box body 1 and the connector strip 3, making it suitable for performance testing of various cable models, improving its applicability, and saving cable testing and production costs. The connector strip 3 includes multiple detachably connected connector units 4, each with a label. The adapter box body 1 is equipped with a label reader; the label reader identifies the label and can detect the model and location of the connector unit 4 connected to the adapter box, saving time and effort for staff to locate the connector unit 4 and improving cable testing efficiency. Both the adapter box body 1 and the connector strip 3 are enclosed structures, simple and stable. A dustproof baffle 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the connector strip 3 to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the second connection port 5 and the second connection port 5 inside the adapter box body 1, reducing wear at the second connection port 5.
