[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in different embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a detection device 100 for a cable 50 with a clip 40, comprising: at least one first electrical connection group 10, at least one second electrical connection group 20, and at least one first indicating component 30. The detection device 100 is electrically connected to the cable 50 with the clip 40 for detecting the electrical properties of the cable 50 with the clip 40.
[0050] Each cable 50 with a clip 40 includes one clip 40 and two cables 50. The two clips 41 of each clip 40 are insulated from each other, and each clip 41 is electrically connected to the first end of one cable 50. Specifically, one end of one clip 41 of each clip 40 has two welding positions, and the first end of each cable 50 is welded to the corresponding welding position. The detection device 100 can be used to detect cases where the two cables 50 are welded in reverse or where the cables 50 are poorly welded, i.e., not successfully welded to the welding position.
[0051] Each first electrical connection group 10 includes two first electrical connectors 11, and each first electrical connector 11 is electrically connected to a clip 41 of a clamp 40. Specifically, each clamp 40 can clamp onto the first electrical connection group 10, that is, each clip 41 clamps onto one first electrical connector 11, in order to improve electrical connection efficiency and thus improve detection efficiency. The two first electrical connectors 11 can also be used to simultaneously detect two cables 50, improving detection efficiency.
[0052] Each second electrical connection group 20 includes two second electrical connectors, each of which is electrically connected to the second end of the cable 50, so as to enable simultaneous detection of two cables 50 and improve detection efficiency.
[0053] Each first indicator component 30 includes two first indicators 31, each first indicator 31 being electrically connected to a first electrical connector 11 and a second electrical connector, respectively. The two first indicators 31 are used to detect the two cables 50 respectively, improving detection efficiency.
[0054] Furthermore, the first electrical connector 11, clip 41, cable 50, second electrical connector, and first indicator 31, which are electrically connected to each other, together form a current loop. That is, the detection device 100 includes at least two current loops simultaneously, each current loop being used to detect one cable 50 individually. When one current loop is conducting, the first indicator 31 is in the working state, which means that the cable 50 is correctly soldered. When both current loops are conducting and both indicators are in the working state, it means that there is no reverse soldering or cold solder joint on the two cables 50 of the cable 50 with clip 40.
[0055] It is understood that by having the two cables 50 of the cable 50 with clip 40 simultaneously form two current loops with the detection device 100, and by setting a first indicator 31 in each current loop, the first indicator 31 is in working condition when the two cables 50 of the cable 50 with clip 40 are correctly welded and there is no poor solder joint. This allows the detection device 100 to detect at least two cables simultaneously, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the cable 50 with clip 40.
[0056] In some embodiments, each current loop further includes a first inductive switch K1. The first inductive switch K1 has an operating state that closes based on the detection of an electrical connection between the clip 41 and the first electrical connector 11. The first inductive switch K1 enables automatic circuit closure and improves detection efficiency.
[0057] In some embodiments, each first indicator 31 has a state that operates based on the closure of the current loop it belongs to. The operating state of the first indicator 31 is used to indicate that the welding of the cable 50 is correct, so that the user can easily know the correct welding inspection result of the cable 50.
[0058] In some embodiments, the detection device 100 for the cable 50 with clip 40 further includes a second inductive switch K2 and a second indicator 60. The second inductive switch K2 has an operating state that is closed based on the absence of detection of all first indicators 31 in the operating state. The second indicator 60 has an operating state based on the closure of the second inductive switch K2. The cooperation of the second inductive switch K2 and the second indicator 60 is used to alert the user to a soldering error in the cable 50, making it easier for the user to know the detection result of the soldering error in the cable 50.
[0059] In some embodiments, the two first electrical connectors 11 of each first electrical connection group 10 are two opposing electrode plates to facilitate clamping of the clip 40 and simplify the testing process. The second electrical connection group 20 is a socket, and the second electrical connector is a plug hole. The plug hole is inserted into the second end of the cable 50 to facilitate connection with the cable 50 and improve testing efficiency. Each clip 41 is welded to the first end of a cable 50. The above arrangement is mutually insulated from each clip 41 to ensure individual testing of each cable 50.
[0060] In some embodiments, the first indicator 31 is an indicator light, and the second indicator 60 is an indicator light and / or a buzzer. The indicator light on the first indicator 31 and the indicator light on the second indicator 60 are different colors. Specifically, an illuminated indicator light on the first indicator 31 indicates that cable 50 is correctly soldered, while an unilluminated indicator light indicates that cable 50 is incorrectly soldered. An illuminated indicator light and / or a buzzer sound on the second indicator 60 indicate that at least one cable 50 is incorrectly soldered, while an unilluminated indicator light and / or no buzzer sound on the second indicator 60 indicate that all cables 50 are correctly soldered.
[0061] In some embodiments, the detection device 100 for cables 50 with clips 40 includes two first electrical connection groups 10, two second electrical connection groups 20, two first indicating components 30, and a second indicator 60. In this case, the detection device 100 can simultaneously detect two cables 50 with clips 40, that is, simultaneously detect four cables 50, to further improve detection efficiency. It is understood that the detection device 100 may also include multiple first electrical connection groups 10, multiple second electrical connection groups 20, multiple first indicating components 30, and a second indicator 60 to simultaneously detect multiple cables 50 with clips 40; this application does not impose any limitations on this comparison.
[0062] In some embodiments, the detection device 100 for the cable 50 with clip 40 further includes a housing 70. The first electrical connection group 10, the second electrical connection group 20, and the first indicating component 30 are all located on the outer surface of the housing 70. This arrangement can fix the position of each electrical connection, thereby improving detection efficiency and protecting the detection structure.
[0063] In some embodiments, each current loop further includes a start switch S and a power supply 80. The start switch S is used to control the conduction of the current loop. The power supply 80 is used to supply power to the current loop.
[0064] In some embodiments, the start switch S is located outside the housing 70 to turn on the detection device 100 and initiate the detection step. The power supply 80 is located inside the housing 70 to protect the power supply 80.
[0065] In summary, the detection device for clamped cables of the present invention enables the two cables of the clamped cable to simultaneously form two current loops with the detection device, and a first indicator is provided in each current loop. When the two cables of the clamped cable are correctly welded and there is no poor solder joint, the first indicator is in working state, thereby enabling the detection device to detect at least two cables at the same time, thereby improving the detection efficiency of clamped cables.
[0066] The above description, in conjunction with specific optional embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
