Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitance tester technology, and in particular to an electrolytic capacitor tester. Background Technology

[0002] In the testing process, the electrolytic capacitor tester precisely applies a specific voltage to the electrolytic capacitor and then monitors and records the leakage current value of the capacitor under this voltage. By intelligently comparing this measurement result with a pre-set pass threshold, the tester can quickly and accurately evaluate the performance status of the electrolytic capacitor, thereby effectively determining whether it meets the usage requirements and ensuring the stability and reliability of electronic equipment.

[0003] Traditional electrolytic capacitor testers work on the principle of charge storage and leakage characteristics of electrolytic capacitors under the influence of an electric field. During the test, the tester first applies a stable DC voltage to the electrolytic capacitor under test. This voltage value is usually determined based on the rated voltage of the capacitor. Subsequently, the tester uses a high-precision current detection circuit to continuously monitor the leakage current of the capacitor after the voltage is applied.

[0004] However, in actual use, the connecting wires between the tester and the capacitor are often long and difficult to store, which not only increases the inconvenience of testing, but also causes interference and influence on the test results when the wires are tangled. Furthermore, the test head of the tester is not easy to handle the testing requirements of different types of electrolytic capacitors. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an electrolytic capacitor tester. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the long and difficult-to-store connecting wires between the tester and the capacitor, and the fact that the test head of the tester is not suitable for testing different types of electrolytic capacitors. Therefore, this invention proposes an electrolytic capacitor tester.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electrolytic capacitor tester includes a tester body with a protective shell movably connected to its upper part. A test lead retraction assembly is mounted on the protective shell. The test lead retraction assembly includes a rotating rod and gear movably connected to the protective shell, and a take-up reel and a double-ended lead movably connected to the protective shell. Rotation of the rotating rod causes the take-up reel to rotate, which in turn causes the double-ended lead to retract. A test replacement assembly is mounted on the take-up reel, including a threaded rod and a tapered test head movably connected to the take-up reel, and a sleeve and an upper toothed plate movably connected to the take-up reel. Both the tapered test head and the upper toothed plate can test electrolytic capacitors. The threaded connection between the threaded rod and the sleeve allows the tapered test head to contact the upper toothed plate.

[0008] The above technical solution further includes:

[0009] A transmission block is fixedly connected to the side of the tester body near the protective shell. The end of the transmission block away from the tester body is fixedly connected to the protective shell. The function of the transmission block is to transmit data from the protective shell to the tester body.

[0010] The outer side of the protective shell is rotatably connected to the rotating rod, and the inner side of the protective shell is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The outer side of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the gear. The rotating rod and the gear mesh with each other. The end of the rotating shaft away from the protective shell is fixedly connected to a rotating disk. The rotation of the rotating rod can drive the gear to rotate.

[0011] The rotating disk and the take-up reel are rotatably connected. The end of the rotating disk away from the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the positioning rod. The outer side of the positioning rod is fixedly connected to the fixing post. The outer side of the fixing post is in contact with the take-up reel, and the fixing post can be locked onto the outer side of the take-up reel.

[0012] The outer side of the take-up reel is symmetrically fixedly connected with movable blocks. The ends of the two sets of movable blocks away from the take-up reel are fixedly connected with limit tubes, which can limit the position of the double-ended conductor.

[0013] The outer side of the take-up reel is fixedly connected to the double-ended conductor, and the end of the double-ended conductor away from the take-up reel is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. The double-ended conductor is used to transmit data detected by the conical test head.

[0014] The end of the threaded rod away from the double-ended lead wire is fixedly connected to the conical test head, and the threaded rod and the sleeve are threadedly connected, with the threaded rod able to be threaded onto the inside of the sleeve.

[0015] The end of the sleeve away from the conical test head is fixedly connected to a lower toothed plate. A torsion spring is movably connected to the outside of the lower toothed plate. The torsion spring and the upper toothed plate are movably connected. By pressing the upper toothed plate, a pressing force can be applied to the torsion spring.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, by setting a test lead retraction component, the rotation of the rotating rod will drive the take-up reel to rotate, and the rotation of the take-up reel will cause the double-ended lead to retract, thereby improving the convenience of testing. This is because the test lead can be easily retracted and organized when not needed, and the mess of the lead can also be avoided. The retraction of the test lead also helps to reduce interference factors in the testing process, because the retracted lead can reduce the influence of the lead's own resistance, inductance and other characteristics on the test results, thereby improving the accuracy of the test.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a test replacement component, the tester can flexibly cope with the test requirements of different types of electrolytic capacitors. In practical applications, different types of electrolytic capacitors may require test heads of different specifications or types for accurate measurement. By setting up replaceable test heads, the tester can easily adapt to these changes and meet various test requirements without purchasing multiple devices. Attached Figure Description

The threaded connection between the threaded rod 13 and the sleeve 15 will cause the conical test head 14 to contact the upper toothed plate 18.

[0030] A transmission block 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the tester body 1 near the protective shell 3. The end of the transmission block 2 away from the tester body 1 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 3. The function of the transmission block 2 is to transmit data from the protective shell 3 to the tester body 1.

[0031] The outer side of the protective shell 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 4, and the inner side of the protective shell 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6.

[0032] The rotating disk 7 and the take-up reel 9 are rotatably connected. The end of the rotating disk 7 away from the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 8. The outer side of the positioning rod 8 is fixedly connected to the fixing post 19. The outer side of the fixing post 19 is in contact with the take-up reel 9. The fixing post 19 can be locked on the outer side of the take-up reel 9.

[0033] The outer side of the take-up reel 9 is symmetrically fixed with movable blocks 10. The ends of the two sets of movable blocks 10 away from the take-up reel 9 are fixedly connected with limit tubes 11, which can limit the position of the double-ended conductor 12.

[0034] The outer side of the take-up reel 9 is fixedly connected to the double-ended conductor 12, and the end of the double-ended conductor 12 away from the take-up reel 9 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 13. The double-ended conductor 12 is used to transmit the data detected by the conical test head 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotation of the rotating rod 4 drives the take-up reel 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the double-ended conductor 12 to retract, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the test.
