Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of repair and testing tools, and in particular to a repair tool for festival light strings. Background Technology

[0002] String lights for festivals consist of bulbs connected in series within each string. Typically, multiple strings are connected in parallel to form a light group. Since the bulbs in each string are connected in series, if even one bulb fails to light up, the entire string will not light up. Identifying and replacing the faulty bulb is very laborious and time-consuming. Often, it takes checking many bulbs within the string to find the faulty one, leading many to simply replace it with a new string. Sometimes, the strings are already on decorative items, making replacement even more difficult and potentially damaging the decorations. It's truly inconvenient.

[0003] The reason why a string of festive lights doesn't light up is usually because the bulb filaments have burned out. Underneath the filament of this small bulb is a shunt with an insulating oxide film on its surface. When the filament breaks, applying the full voltage to the bulb's leads causes the non-conductive material to break down, allowing current to flow continuously through the shunt in the damaged bulb to the other bulbs connected in series. However, multiple bulbs in a string may have broken filaments simultaneously, and the voltage may not be enough to break down the insulating layer on the shunt surface, so the entire string of lights will still not light up. Besides burnt-out bulb filaments, other possibilities include stretched, bent, or worn wires. To solve the problem of the string of lights not lighting up, a non-contact AC voltage detector can be used to detect breaks in the string's wiring. Currently, such AC voltage detectors on the market either have a single audio audible signal or an indicator light.

[0004] There are many tools available for repairing or testing string lights, but their functions are relatively limited, requiring multiple tools to be combined to complete the repair, making them inconvenient to use. Therefore, this paper proposes a new tool for repairing festival string lights to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0027] The handheld body is internally provided with a high-voltage pulse string parallel repair system, a non-contact alternating current voltage detection system and a test system; the top of the handheld body is provided with a fixing seat 1, and a lamp bulb socket connecting device 2 and a lamp string plug connecting device 3 in the high-voltage pulse string parallel repair system are arranged below the fixing seat 1; the test system comprises a non-contact alternating current voltage detection and low-voltage detection system; the non-contact alternating current voltage detection system comprises a power supply, a detection switch 16 and an alternating current voltage electric field induction circuit, the alternating current voltage electric field induction circuit is connected in series with a resistor through an electric field induction wire 6, one end of the resistor is grounded and the other end is connected to a microcontroller, after the alternating current voltage electric field induction signal is processed by the microcontroller, the program controls the display of the electric field signal and the intensity, and the program controls the buzzer and the indicator light connected with the microcontroller to prompt the electric field signal and the intensity. Thus, the change of the induction signal is noticed through vision and hearing;

[0028] The stronger the alternating current voltage electric field induction signal is, the faster the frequency of the intermittent buzzer and the indicator light will gradually increase, and when it reaches a certain degree, it will no longer change. According to the decrease of the alternating current voltage electric field intensity near the fault position of the lamp string, the indicator light and the intermittent buzzer will obviously slow down or stop, so that the fault position is determined.

[0030] Further, the high-voltage pulse string parallel repair system comprises a high-voltage pulse generating device, a bulb socket connecting device 2 and a lamp string plug connecting device 3, and the bulb socket connecting device 2 and the lamp string plug connecting device 3 are fixedly installed on a high-voltage circuit board 4, the high-voltage circuit board 4 is provided with a bulb lifting piece 7 and an electric field induction wire 6, the bottom of the high-voltage circuit board 4 is installed and connected with a pressing plate 8 through a self-tapping screw A9, and the bottom of the high-voltage circuit board 4 is provided with a contact spring 5 matched with a contact piece 13.

The holiday lamp string plug is inserted into the normal power socket, and all the lamps except the burnt bulb are lit up.

[0032] Secondly, when the high-voltage pulse string parallel repair system is used in a parallel circuit, the high-voltage pulse generating device and the lamp string plug connecting device 3 are used at the same time, the non-lighting holiday lamp string plug is inserted into the plug connecting device of the holiday lamp string repair tool. If a plurality of lamp strings are connected in series, only the non-lighting lamp string is left by pulling out the remaining lamp strings.

The microcontroller with the non-contact alternating current voltage detection function has the battery low-voltage detection, the detection switch 16 is pressed to enter the non-contact alternating current voltage detection function, the indicator light flashes once and the buzzer rings once, if the indicator light periodically flashes, it indicates that the battery has sufficient power, and if the non-contact alternating current voltage detection function cannot work normally and the indicator light is always on or not bright, it indicates that the battery has insufficient power, and the battery should be replaced in time.

[0037] At the same time, the test system further comprises built-in fuse test and single bulb test including power supply, contact piece 13, function selection button 15 and indicator light circuit, the fuse and bulb test share the contact piece 15, the detection switch 16 is not pressed and can be used for testing the bulb, the good bulb emits light, and the bad bulb does not emit light; the detection switch 16 is pressed and is used for testing the fuse, the good fuse indicator light will be bright, and the bad fuse indicator light will not be bright.Combining the above two functions can be used to distinguish whether the shunt in the non-lighting bulb has been broken down, first, the bulb test function is used to confirm that the bulb does not light, then the switch is pressed and the fuse test function is used, the non-lighting bulb has been broken down, the indicator light is lit, and vice versa.
