Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model relate to an automatic cable recovery device in the field of environmental testing equipment technology, and particularly to an automatic cable recovery device for test samples in a large temperature shock test chamber; applicable to product reliability testing in the fields of electronics, aerospace, and automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] In high-end manufacturing sectors such as new energy vehicles and aerospace, key components like power batteries and precision electronic components must undergo temperature shock environmental testing to verify their performance reliability under extreme temperature differences. Temperature shock test chambers can rapidly switch between high and low temperature environments (e.g., from -40℃ to 120℃) to simulate the rapid temperature changes encountered by products in real-world applications. However, existing technologies have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Cable connection problem: Traditional test chambers cannot be connected to wires to detect internal signals or power supply to the sample. Cables need to be manually plugged and unplugged before and after the test, which leads to test interruption, low efficiency, and frequent plugging and unplugging of easily damaged interfaces.

[0004] 2. Platform reciprocating motion causes cable entanglement: When the test platform needs to move back and forth (such as simulating vehicle vibration or robotic arm movement), the cable cannot be automatically retracted, resulting in entanglement, knotting or even breakage, affecting test safety and equipment life.

[0005] 3. The impact of temperature shock on cable performance: High and low temperature cycles will accelerate the aging of cable materials. Traditional fixed cable designs cannot adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, further aggravating the risk of cable damage.

[0006] In existing large-scale temperature shock test chambers, the cables of the test specimens are pulled out from the winding reel. In order to ensure that the energized cables can extend with the movement of the test platform, excessive tension often leads to cable damage or affects the movement of the platform. When the platform begins to return to its original position, the cables need to be automatically retracted. However, during the retraction process, the retraction speed and torque cannot be adjusted according to the cable tension, resulting in problems such as cable tangling and loosening. This shortens the service life of the cables and increases the maintenance cost of the test equipment. Utility Model Content

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been provided in the various embodiments of this utility model to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in the claims of this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0043] The present invention relates to an automatic cable recovery device for test specimens in a large temperature shock test chamber, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0044] The base plate 1 serves as the base for the automatic cable recovery device for the test specimen in this embodiment, which is used in a large temperature shock test chamber.

[0045] The lower end of the support mechanism 10 is fixed on the base plate 1; the support mechanism 10 mainly supports the winding mechanism 20, and the winding mechanism 20 rotates on the support mechanism 10.

[0046] A winding mechanism 20 is movably connected to the upper end of the support mechanism 10; the winding mechanism 20 mainly serves to wind up the cable.

[0047] A servo drive mechanism 30 is movably connected to one side of the winding mechanism 20 via a gear meshing mechanism; the servo drive mechanism 30 drives the winding mechanism 20 to rotate, thereby winding the cable.

[0048] A torque sensor 40 is installed on the servo drive mechanism 30. The servo drive mechanism 30 adjusts its output torque according to the instructions of the torque sensor 40, ensuring that the winding mechanism 20 maintains tension on the cable. When the test platform reciprocates, the torque sensor 40 monitors the tension on the cable in real time. During the platform's movement, if the tension on the cable exceeds a preset pre-judged force, the servo drive mechanism 30 adjusts its output torque according to the output of the torque sensor 40, allowing the cable to be smoothly pulled out of the winding mechanism 20. This ensures that the energized cable can extend with the movement of the test platform, preventing cable damage or interference with platform movement due to excessive tension. When the platform begins to return to its original position, the torque sensor 40 again activates, controlling the servo drive mechanism 30 to reverse, using appropriate torque to drive the winding reel to automatically retract the cable. During the retraction process, the retraction speed and torque are adjusted in real time according to the cable tension to prevent tangling, slackness, and other problems. This invention adjusts the recovery speed and torque based on cable tension, solving the problems often encountered in existing large-scale temperature shock test chambers. When cables are pulled from the winding reel to ensure they extend with the test platform, excessive tension can damage the cables or impede platform movement. Furthermore, when the platform returns to its original position, automatic cable recovery is required, but the recovery speed and torque cannot be adjusted according to cable tension, leading to problems such as cable tangling and loosening. This invention effectively solves the problem of automatic cable recovery caused by the reciprocating motion of the test platform in traditional temperature shock test chambers. By precisely controlling the tension, the continuous stability of power supply and signal transmission for the tested sample is ensured during the test, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of temperature shock testing; extending cable lifespan; and reducing the maintenance costs of the test equipment.
