Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable and wire testing technology, specifically to a cable and wire low-smoke testing device. Background Technology
[0002] The low-smoke performance test of cables and wires refers to a testing method that uses specific methods and equipment to measure and evaluate the characteristics of the smoke produced by cables and wires when they are burning, in order to determine whether they meet relevant standards and requirements.
[0003] A search revealed that patent application number 202321813720.0 discloses a low-smoke performance testing device for cables and wires, comprising a testing box, a support leg at the bottom of the testing box, a horizontal plate mounted on the surface of the support leg, a threaded cylinder vertically and movably mounted on the top surface of the horizontal plate, a screw screw helically connected inside the threaded cylinder, one end of the screw penetrating a pressing plate at the bottom surface of the testing box, a stepper motor vertically mounted on the top surface of the horizontal plate, a drive gear at the output end of the stepper motor, a driven gear on the outer surface of the threaded cylinder, the drive gear meshing with the driven gear, a testing mechanism mounted on the top surface of the testing box, and the bottom end of the testing mechanism being connected to the testing box through a first conveying pipe;
[0004] Although this low-smoke detection device for cables and wires can push the flue gas upwards through the coordinated use of a squeezing plate, a horizontal plate, a threaded cylinder, a screw, a stepper motor, a driving gear, and a driven gear, the squeezing plate can only push the flue gas upwards. The flue gas enters the chamber via a single path with significant resistance, preventing it from quickly and fully contacting the absorption medium inside the chamber. This slow flue gas transmission rate severely limits the effective interaction time between the flue gas and the absorption medium, resulting in low absorption efficiency and failing to meet the actual requirements for efficient flue gas treatment.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a low-smoke detection device for cables and wires. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a low-smoke detection device for cables and wires, which solves the problem that the existing device's extrusion plate can only push the smoke upwards, and the smoke enters the chamber at a slow rate, resulting in low smoke absorption efficiency.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a low-smoke detection device for cables and wires, comprising an absorption box containing an alkaline solution, a detection box fixedly installed on the top surface of the absorption box, a smoke detector fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the detection box, and a door hinged to the detection box.
[0008] The absorption box is equipped with an exhaust assembly, and the detection box is equipped with an air delivery assembly.
[0009] The exhaust assembly includes an exhaust hopper, the bottom of which extends into the alkaline solution inside the absorption tank. A placement cylinder is provided at the top of the inner wall of the exhaust hopper, and an electric heating wire connected to a power source via a wire is fixedly installed on the bottom surface inside the placement cylinder.
[0010] The air delivery assembly includes an air intake hopper positioned directly above the exhaust hopper. The diameter of the bottom surface of the air intake hopper is the same as the diameter of the top surface of the exhaust hopper. A corrugated pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the air intake hopper. A delivery pipe connected to the detection end of a flue gas detector is fixedly connected to the top of the corrugated pipe. A second solenoid valve is installed at the top of the outer surface of the delivery pipe. An air intake pipe is fixedly installed on the side wall of the delivery pipe. The top of the air intake pipe extends to the outside of the detection box and is connected to the output end of the fan via a flange. A one-way valve is installed at the bottom of the air intake pipe. A hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the air intake hopper.
[0011] Preferably, the fan is fixedly installed on the top surface of the test box, and the top end of the hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the top surface inside the test box. Rubber pads are adhered to the surfaces of the air inlet and exhaust hoppers that come into contact with each other. The fan can deliver external air into the air inlet pipe, and the hydraulic rod can drive the air inlet hopper to move up and down.
[0012] Preferably, an exhaust pipe connected to the interior of the test chamber is fixedly installed on the side wall of the test chamber. A first solenoid valve is installed on the exhaust pipe. The one-way valve controls the gas inside the delivery pipe to prevent it from being discharged through the inlet pipe. The exhaust pipe and the first solenoid valve are designed to allow air inside the test chamber and the absorption chamber to circulate through the exhaust pipe, thereby balancing the pressure inside the test chamber and the absorption chamber with the external air pressure.
[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of the top of the exhaust hopper is fixedly mounted with connecting plates arranged in a ring array, and the end of the connecting plate away from the exhaust hopper is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the absorption box, wherein the exhaust hopper is supported by the connecting plates.
[0014] Preferably, the outer surface of the placement cylinder is fixedly equipped with connecting rods arranged in a ring array, and the end of the connecting rod away from the placement cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the exhaust hopper. The top surface of the placement cylinder is flush with the top surface of the exhaust hopper, wherein the placement cylinder is supported by the connecting rods.
[0015] Preferably, a heat-conducting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the electric heating wire. The heat-conducting plate is fixedly fitted on the inner wall of the placement cylinder. The top of the electric heating wire is in contact with the bottom surface of the heat-conducting plate. The heat generated by the electric heating wire is conducted through the heat-conducting plate, thereby heating and igniting the cable and wire placed inside the placement cylinder.
[0016] This invention provides a device for testing the low smoke performance of cables and wires. It has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. This low-smoke detection device for cables and wires, by placing the inlet hood on the top surface of the exhaust hood, allows the smoke generated by the combustion of cables and wires to collect inside the exhaust hood, inlet hood, corrugated pipe, conveying pipe, and inlet pipe. A one-way valve prevents the smoke from escaping through the inlet pipe. After testing, a fan blows air into the inlet pipe, and then external air enters the conveying pipe, corrugated pipe, hydraulic rod, and exhaust hood sequentially through the inlet pipe. This transports the smoke to the alkaline solution inside the absorption chamber, where it is absorbed. External air then enters the absorption chamber and detection chamber and is exhausted through the exhaust pipe. This improves the smoke absorption efficiency and solves the problem in existing devices where the extrusion plate can only push the smoke upwards, resulting in a slow rate of smoke entering the chamber and thus low absorption efficiency.
[0018] 2. The low-smoke performance testing device for cables and wires uses an electric heating wire and a heat-conducting plate to heat and ignite the cables and wires. This process is carried out after the air inlet hood is placed on top of the exhaust hood, eliminating the need for testing personnel to ignite the cables and wires externally. This helps to prevent testing personnel from inhaling smoke and makes the device safer to use. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The exhaust pipe 22 and the first solenoid valve 23 are designed to allow air inside the detection box 2 and the absorption box 1 to circulate through the exhaust pipe 22, thereby balancing the pressure inside the detection box 2 and the absorption box 1 with the external air pressure.

The smoke generated by the combustion of the cable and wire enters the interior of the corrugated pipe 43 through the air inlet hopper 41, and then enters the detection end of the 33 through the conveying pipe 31, so that the smoke detector 3 can detect the smoke generated by the combustion of the cable and wire.
