Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cable technology, specifically to a network cable surface defect detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Network cables are used to connect network devices. The surface of the network cable is marked with wire numbers at intervals, such as CAT-6 for Category 6 cable, UTP for unshielded twisted pair cable, and AWG23 for cable specification. However, in actual production, the markings on the surface of network cables may be blurry or missing during the printing process, which affects the normal use of the network cable. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a network cable surface defect detection device to address the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A network cable surface defect detection device includes a platform with a cable tray mounted on it. Cable trays are machined into the cable tray, through which network cables pass. Pressure rollers are located on both sides of the cable tray to press the network cables into the cable trays. The cable tray is interrupted in the middle, with a counting roller located at the interruption point. Support plates are located on both sides of the cable tray and fixed to the platform. A counting roller shaft is connected to the middle of the counting roller and is connected to the support plates via bearings. One end of the counting roller shaft passes through the support plates and is connected to an indicator ring with a pointer attached. A sensor is mounted on the support plates to detect the pointer. A gantry bracket is located at the front end of the counting roller, with an adjusting bracket connected to it. An industrial camera is mounted on the adjusting bracket, with the camera's shooting direction facing the cable tray.
[0006] Furthermore, support rods are provided on both sides of the wiring board, and the support rods are fixed on the platform. Bearing seats are connected to the support rods and are sleeved on the support rods. A pressure roller shaft is provided in the middle of the pressure roller and is connected to the bearing seat. A spring is provided between the bearing seat and the platform and is sleeved on the support rod. A limit nut is connected above the support rod.
[0007] Furthermore, a threading groove is provided on the counting roller corresponding to the threading groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjusting bracket is machined with an adjusting groove.
[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the network cable surface defect detection device of this utility model measures the distance the network cable travels by counting rollers. After reaching the set distance, an industrial camera takes pictures of the network cable surface for comparison, thereby realizing the detection of network cable surface defects. Compared with manual inspection methods, it is more efficient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0013] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below.
[0014] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a network cable surface defect detection device includes a platform 1, a cable tray 2 mounted on the platform 1, and cable trays 3 machined on the cable tray 2. The network cable passes through the cable trays 3. Pressure rollers 4 are provided on both sides of the cable tray 2, pressing the network cable into the cable trays 3. In this embodiment, support rods 5 are provided on both sides of the cable tray 2, fixed to the platform 1. Bearing seats 6 are connected to the support rods 5 and are fitted onto the support rods 5. A pressure roller shaft 7 is provided in the middle of the pressure rollers 4, connected to the bearing seats 6. A spring 8 is provided between the bearing seats 6 and the platform 1, fitted onto the support rods 5, and elastically supports the pressure rollers 4. A limit nut 9 is connected above the support rods 5, screwed onto the support rods 5 to limit the bearing seats 6.
[0015] The cable tray 2 is broken in the middle, and a counting roller 10 is installed at the break point. The counting roller 10 measures the length of the network cable traveled. Support plates 11 are provided on both sides of the cable tray 2 and are fixed on the platform 1. A counting roller shaft 12 is connected to the middle of the counting roller 10. The counting roller shaft 12 is connected to the support plate 11 through a bearing. One end of the counting roller shaft 12 passes through the support plate 11 and is connected to an indicator ring 13. A pointer 14 is connected to the indicator ring 13. A position sensor 15 is installed on the support plate 11 and is used to sense the pointer 14.
[0016] The counting roller 10 has a threading groove 16 corresponding to the wiring groove 3. When measuring the distance the network cable travels, the network cable passes through the wiring groove 3 and then through the threading groove 16. The distance the network cable travels is the same as the circumference of the outer ring of the counting roller. The number of rotations of the counting roller is obtained by sensing the pointer 14 through the position sensor 15.
[0017] The counting roller 10 is provided with a gantry bracket 17 at its front end. An adjustment bracket 18 is connected to the gantry bracket 17. An industrial camera 19 is mounted on the adjustment bracket 18. The shooting direction of the industrial camera 19 is facing the cable tray 3. An adjustment groove 20 is machined on the adjustment bracket 18. The adjustment groove 20 is used to adjust the installation height of the industrial camera 19. When the counting roller measures the distance of the network cable traveled to the set value, the industrial camera 19 starts to take pictures for comparison. At the same time, the counting roller recounts the distance and repeats the picture comparison cycle.
[0018] This utility model is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can still make some modifications or changes without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
