Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tensile testing technology, and in particular to a tensile testing device for cold and heat shrinkable cable accessories. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of industries such as power and communications, cables are increasingly widely used in various equipment. Especially in environments requiring long-term stable operation, the quality and safety of cables become paramount. During the installation of heat-shrinkable and cold-shrinkable cable accessories, tensile strength is a key performance indicator. The tensile strength of cable accessories needs to meet certain standard requirements to ensure their reliability during long-term use. Insufficient tensile strength may lead to poor contact between the accessory and the cable, resulting in cable failure; while excessive tensile strength can cause deformation or damage to the accessory materials, affecting the service life and safety of the cable accessories. Therefore, tensile strength testing has become an indispensable part of the installation and quality inspection process for cable accessories.

[0003] A Chinese patent has been published: A cable tension testing device, patent announcement number: CN207540892U. This patent "includes a base, on which a fixed plate, a movable plate, a tension display and a cylinder mounting seat are provided. A cylinder is provided on the cylinder mounting seat, and a tension sensor is provided inside the cylinder. The tension sensor is connected to the tension display. The cylinder output shaft is connected to the movable plate. Cable fixing holes are provided on the movable plate and the fixed plate. A smooth rod is provided between the fixed plate and the cylinder mounting seat. The smooth rod passes through a stepped hole provided on the movable plate, one end of which is connected to the fixed plate, and the other end is connected to a stepped protrusion provided on the cylinder mounting seat. A spring is provided on the stepped protrusion."

[0004] When this device performs cable tensile testing, locking screws are used to fix both ends of the cable through their bottom ends. Because the contact point of the locking screws is concentrated on the same point on the outer wall of the cable, this concentrated contact method results in excessive tensile force on the cable at the locking screw when the cable is pulled. Due to the small and unevenly distributed contact surface, the tensile force is concentrated in a small area, which can easily cause local breakage of the cable at that point or produce uneven stress distribution, thus making it impossible to apply tensile force evenly. At the same time, due to the small contact surface, the fixing effect is poor, and one end of the cable may slip out of the fixing plate, making it impossible to perform tensile testing normally. This design defect affects the fixing effect of the cable and the accuracy of the tensile test, resulting in the inability to achieve effective tensile testing. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tensile testing device for cold and heat shrinkable cable accessories to solve the problem.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a tensile testing device for heat-shrinkable cables, comprising a testing platform, a mounting box fixedly connected to the top of the testing platform, through slots on both sides of the mounting box, a worm gear rotatably connected inside the mounting box, a worm wheel meshing with the outer wall of the worm gear, the worm wheel rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box, a gear fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft of the worm wheel, a rack meshing with the bottom of the gear, the rack slidably connected to the top of the testing platform and passing through the through slots, a clamping mechanism for clamping the cable provided on the top of the testing platform, a tension gauge fixedly connected to one end of the rack, and the tension end of the tension gauge connected to the clamping mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes two fixing blocks, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the testing platform. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the sidewall of each of the two fixing blocks. Two sets of sliders are provided on the top of the testing platform. One end of each sliding rod is fixedly connected to the sidewall of one set of sliders, and the other set of sliders is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod. A stabilizing rod is fixedly connected between the opposing surfaces of the two sets of sliders. A clamping block is provided between the opposing surfaces of the sliders. One of the clamping blocks is slidably connected to the outer wall of the stabilizing rod. A clamping groove for clamping cables is provided on the sidewall of each clamping block. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the sidewall of one of the clamping blocks, and one end of the threaded rod penetrates the sidewall of the slider.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes two semicircular plates respectively disposed at both ends of the cable. The two semicircular plates are arranged opposite each other, and a limiting groove for accommodating the cable is opened between the opposite surfaces of the two semicircular plates. The sidewall of the semicircular plate is in contact with the sidewall of the clamping block. Mounting blocks are provided at the top and bottom of the semicircular plate, and the two mounting blocks are fixed to each other by threaded bolts.

[0009] Preferably, a pull rod is fixedly connected between a group of sliders near the mounting box. The pull rod is convex in shape. A sleeve rod is fixedly connected to one side of the tension gauge, and one end of the sleeve rod is sleeved on the top of the pull rod.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This tensile testing device for heat-shrinkable cables utilizes a rotating threaded rod to move a clamping block, which in turn moves a clamping groove. The arc-shaped design of the clamping groove and the anti-slip block clamp the cable's outer wall. The clamping groove and anti-slip block design effectively increase the clamping area, friction, and stability, preventing slippage or breakage during tensile testing due to insecure clamping or insufficient contact area. Furthermore, the combination of two semi-circular plates and threaded bolts enhances the fixing force at both ends of the cable, further preventing slippage due to unstable end clamping during tensile testing. This improved clamping effect ensures the cable ends are firmly fixed, avoiding slippage and breakage problems caused by insufficient contact area, insecure clamping, or stress concentration in traditional methods. The overall structural design not only optimizes the cable clamping effect but also improves the accuracy and stability of tensile testing, providing a more reliable and accurate solution for cable tensile testing.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a tensile testing device for heat-shrinkable cable accessories includes a testing platform 1. A mounting box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the testing platform 1. Through slots 3 are provided on both sides of the mounting box 2. A worm gear 4 is rotatably connected inside the mounting box 2. A worm wheel 5 is meshed on the outer wall of the worm gear 4. The worm wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 2. A gear 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft of the worm wheel 5. A rack 7 is meshed at the bottom of the gear 6. The rack 7 is slidably connected to the top of the testing platform 1 and passes through the through slots 3. A clamping mechanism for clamping the cable is provided on the top of the testing platform 1.

[0025] Further, see attached document. Figures 1 to 5As shown, the clamping mechanism includes two fixed blocks 8, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the testing platform 1. Slide rods 9 are fixedly connected to the side walls of both fixed blocks 8. Two sets of sliders 10 are provided on the top of the testing platform 1. One end of the slide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one set of sliders 10, and the other set of sliders 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 9. A stabilizing rod 11 is fixedly connected between the opposing surfaces of the two sets of sliders 10. A clamping block 12 is provided between the opposing surfaces of the sliders 10. One clamping block 12 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the stabilizing rod 11. The side walls of the clamping blocks 12 are provided with clamping grooves 13 for clamping cables. A threaded rod 14 is rotatably connected to the side wall of one clamping block 12, with one end of the threaded rod 14 penetrating the side wall of the slider 10. The clamping mechanism also includes separate... Two semicircular plates 15 are provided at both ends of the cable, and the two semicircular plates 15 are arranged opposite each other. A limiting groove 16 for accommodating the cable is opened between the opposite surfaces of the two semicircular plates 15. The side wall of the semicircular plate 15 is in contact with the side wall of the clamping block 12. Mounting blocks 17 are provided at the top and bottom of the semicircular plate 15. The two mounting blocks 17 are fixed to each other by threaded bolts 18. A pull rod 19 is fixedly connected between a group of sliders 10 near the mounting box 2. The pull rod 19 is convex in shape. A tension gauge 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the rack 7. A sleeve rod 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the tension gauge 20. One end of the sleeve rod 21 is sleeved on the top of the pull rod 19. Anti-slip blocks 22 are provided inside the clamping groove 13. The anti-slip blocks 22 are triangular in shape.

[0026] When using the clamping mechanism, first place the cable between the two sets of sliders 10, then rotate the threaded rod 14. The threaded rod 14 drives the clamping block 12 to slide on the stabilizing rod 11 and move to the other side of the clamping block 12, thereby clamping the cable through the clamping groove 13. The clamping groove 13 has an arc-shaped design, which increases the contact area with the cable, making the clamping more stable. At the same time, the anti-slip slider 22 increases the friction between the clamping groove 13 and the cable, playing a role in preventing slippage. After clamping, take out the two semi-circular plates 15 and put them on both ends of the cable, and then use the threaded bolts 18 to... Fix the mounting block 17, then fix the semicircular plate 15, and then rotate the rotating disk 24. When the rotating disk 24 rotates, it drives the worm 4 to rotate, and the worm 4 drives the worm wheel 5 to rotate. When the worm wheel 5 rotates, it drives the gear 6 to rotate. Then, the gear 6 meshes with the rack 7, causing the rack 7 to slide on the top of the testing table 1. When the rack 7 slides, it pulls the tension gauge 20. The tension gauge 20 pulls the pull rod 19 through the sleeve rod 21. Then, the pull rod 19 pulls the slider 10 that slides on the outer wall of the slide rod 9. Then, the slider 10 pulls the cable. At the same time as pulling the cable, the semicircular plate 15 will also engage with the clamp. The sidewalls of block 12 are in contact, further preventing the cable from slipping out of the clamping groove 13, thus ensuring a more stable clamping of the cable. The tensile force value is then displayed by the tensile gauge 20. In the clamping mechanism, rotating the threaded rod 14 moves the clamping block 12, which in turn moves the clamping groove 13. The arc-shaped design of the clamping groove 13 and the anti-slip block 22 then clamp the outer wall of the cable. The design of the clamping groove 13 and the anti-slip block 22 effectively increases the clamping area, friction, and firmness, thereby preventing the cable from slipping due to insecure clamping during tensile testing. In cases where the contact surface is too small, leading to slippage or breakage, the combined fastening design of two semi-circular plates 15 and threaded bolts 18 effectively enhances the fixing force at both ends of the cable, further preventing the cable from slipping off due to unstable end clamping during tensile testing. This enhances the clamping effect, ensuring that both ends of the cable are firmly fixed, avoiding problems such as slippage and breakage caused by insufficient contact surface, unstable clamping, or stress concentration in traditional methods. The overall structural design not only optimizes the clamping effect of the cable but also improves the accuracy and stability of tensile testing, providing a more reliable and accurate solution for cable tensile testing.

[0027] Further, see attached document. Figure 3 As shown, a dial 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting box 2. One end of the worm gear 4 passes through the side wall of the mounting box 2 and the dial 23 and is fixedly connected to a rotating disk 24. The side walls of the dial 23 and the rotating disk 24 are provided with scale values ​​so that the number of rotations of the rotating disk 24 and the pulling force can be observed.
