Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cable physical and chemical performance testing equipment, specifically a cable resistance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Cables are a general term for items such as optical cables and electrical cables. Cables have many uses, primarily for control installation, equipment connection, and power transmission, making them a common and indispensable item in daily life. A cable mainly consists of a conductor and a protective layer surrounding it. After production, various data points of the cable need to be tested to ensure product quality and safe use.

[0003] In cable testing, it is essential to test the resistance of the cable to ensure that cables of different types and uses meet the corresponding resistance standard range. Since the resistance of cables is low, a four-wire system is often used in cable resistance testing to ensure accuracy, that is, the current line and voltage line are separated to eliminate lead wire errors.

[0004] However, commonly used testing devices only measure the length of a cable by clamping both ends. When dealing with multi-core cables, this requires clamping both ends of a single cable multiple times to measure the resistance of each individual core, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, we propose a cable resistance testing device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable resistance testing device that solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0011] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the second mounting bracket, and a locking rod is slidably mounted inside the mounting bracket, the locking rod being adapted to the planetary gear.

[0012] Preferably, the planetary gears are meshed with the fixed gear ring and the adjusting gear ring respectively, and the adjusting gear ring is meshed with a drive gear on its outer side.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 A cable resistance testing device includes a base 1, which has a truncated pyramidal structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, providing better support and stability during use. A frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. The frame 2 has a square structure and round holes on both sides for cables to pass through, facilitating cable fixing.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-2 There are two bases 1 and two frames 2, and each frame 2 is equipped with a clamping mechanism 3. The two clamping mechanisms 3 are used to center and clamp the two ends of the cable respectively, which facilitates the resistance test of the cable. The clamping mechanism 3 includes two clamping seats 31, and the clamping seats 31 are provided with "V" shaped grooves. The two "V" shaped grooves are arranged opposite each other, which facilitates the fixing of cables of different diameters.

[0030] A bidirectional lead screw 32 is rotatably installed inside the frame 2. The bidirectional lead screw 32 is threadedly connected to the clamping seat 31. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 32 controls the relative and opposite movement of the two clamping seats 31, thereby controlling the clamping and release of the cable by the clamping seats 31.

[0031] Please see Figures 3-5An adjustment mechanism 4 is provided on the frame 2. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a rotating platform 41, which is rotatably mounted on the side of the frame 2 away from the clamping seat 31. The rotating platform 41 has a circular ring structure, and its internal diameter is consistent with the opening of the frame 2 to facilitate cable passage. An adjustment gear ring 42 is rotatably mounted on the rotating platform 41. The inner and outer sides of the adjustment gear ring 42 are provided with racks. The outer side of the adjustment gear ring 42 is meshed with a drive gear 43. A motor is fixedly mounted on the drive gear 43. The motor controls the rotation of the drive gear 43, and the meshing of the drive gear 43 and the adjustment gear ring 42 drives the adjustment gear ring 42 to rotate.

[0032] A fixed platform 44 is fixedly installed inside the rotating stage 41. A mounting bracket 45 is rotatably mounted on the fixed platform 44. A current terminal 5 is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 45. One end of the current terminal 5 is connected to a power supply or constant current source that can provide a stable current output, supplying the required test current to the test circuit. This ensures sufficient and stable current flows through the cable under test for accurate measurement of cable resistance. The endpoint of the current terminal 5 contacts the cable. The power supply or constant current source, the current terminal 5, and the cable form a current path, thereby providing the required test current to the test circuit and ensuring sufficient and stable current flows through the cable under test for accurate measurement of cable resistance.

[0033] A fixed gear ring 46 is installed inside the rotating platform 41, and a planetary gear 47 is slidably mounted inside the rotating platform 41. The planetary gear 47 is meshed with both the adjusting gear ring 42 and the fixed gear ring 46, so that the rotation of the adjusting gear ring 42 can drive the planetary gear 47 to rotate synchronously along the fixed gear ring 46, thereby allowing adjustment of the relative distance and angle between the planetary gear 47 and the fixed platform 44. A mounting bracket 2 48 is rotatably mounted on the planetary gear 47, and a voltage terminal 6 is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 2 48. The voltage terminal 6 is mainly used to connect voltage measuring instruments such as voltmeters or potentiometers. These instruments can accurately measure the minute voltage changes at both ends of the cable under test, providing accurate voltage data for calculating the cable resistance. The voltage terminal 6 must be in close contact with both ends of the cable under test to avoid including the resistance of the current leads, which would affect the measurement accuracy. At the same time, the current terminal 5 and the voltage terminal 6, located on the same rotating platform 41, have the same polarity.

[0034] The relative distance and angle between the planetary gear 47 and the fixed platform 44 can be adjusted to regulate the relative distance and angle between the current terminal 5 and the voltage terminal 6, making it easier and faster to test the resistance of multi-core cables by testing each individual cable core separately.

[0035] A mounting bracket 49 is fixedly installed on mounting frame 48. A locking rod 410 is slidably mounted on the mounting bracket 49. The locking rod 410 is compatible with the planetary gear 47, allowing the locking rod 410 to engage between the teeth of the planetary gear 47, thus locking the planetary gear 47 and preventing it from rotating. At this time, the motor starts and drives the drive gear 43 to rotate. Since the planetary gear 47 is locked, it no longer rotates. The planetary gear 47 plays a role in transmitting force, driving the rotating table 41 to rotate along the frame 2, thereby adjusting the position of the current terminal 5 and the voltage terminal 6, facilitating the testing of cable cores at different positions.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 A limiting seat 7 is provided on one side of frame 2, and a scale rod 8 is slidably installed inside the limiting seat 7. The limiting seat 7 and the scale rod 8 ensure that the two frames 2 are horizontally aligned, so that the cable under test will not be offset when fixed. The scale rod 8 makes the detection of cable length more accurate, avoiding the influence of inaccurate cable length measurement on the cable resistance test results. A thermometer and a hygrometer are provided on the base 1 for real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity during the test, and for calculation and correction after the resistance test.

[0037] The working principle of a cable resistance testing device is as follows:

[0038] The distance between the two bases 1 is adjusted by reading the scale rod 8 to meet the length requirements during cable testing. Since the scale rod 8 is slidably connected within the two limit seats 7, the two bases 1 are on the same horizontal line, making cable length testing more accurate. The cable length during testing can be determined by reading the scale rod 8.

[0039] The two ends of the cable are passed through the openings of the two frames 2, and the cable is taut. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 32 causes relative displacement of the two clamping seats 31, clamping the cable. When the cable is a single-core cable, the current terminal 5 and voltage terminal 6 are respectively in contact with the cable surface, with the contact points isolated. Current is output from a power supply or constant current source. The power supply or constant current source, current terminal 5, and cable form a current path to ensure sufficient and stable current flows through the cable under test. The cable voltage can then be read using a voltmeter or potentiometer connected to voltage terminal 6. The cable resistance can then be calculated from this data.

[0040] When the cable is a multi-core cable, the motor is started, and the motor drives the drive gear 43 to rotate. The drive gear 43 drives the adjusting gear ring 42 to rotate. The adjusting gear ring 42, through meshing with the planetary gear 47, drives the planetary gear 47 to rotate along the fixed gear ring 46, and the direction of travel is the same as the rotation direction of the adjusting gear ring 42. By changing the position of the planetary gear 47, the relative distance and angle between the planetary gear 47 and the fixed platform 44 are adjusted. The change in the relative distance and angle between the planetary gear 47 and the fixed platform 44 can adjust the relative distance and angle between the current terminal 5 and the voltage terminal 6. Then, by rotating and adjusting the mounting bracket 1 45 and mounting bracket 2 48, the current terminal 5 and the voltage terminal 6 can make contact with the cable surface.

[0041] This makes it easier and faster to test individual cable cores when dealing with multi-core cables of different models, without the need to adjust the cable.

[0042] By sliding the lever 410, the lever 410 is engaged in the planetary gear 47, making the planetary gear 47 fixed and unable to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the drive gear 43 will drive the entire turntable 41 to rotate, so that after the detection of a single cable core is completed, it can quickly switch to the next cable core for detection, which is more convenient and faster.
