Data cable tensile testing device Technical Fields
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of data cable testing technology, and more specifically relates to a data cable tensile testing device. Background Technology:
[0002] Data cables typically need to be tested after production to assess their tensile strength.
[0003] Currently, existing testing equipment can only test the tensile force required to break a data cable. During the test, in addition to the data cable breaking and becoming unusable, there are also solder joints between the core wire and the connector at the data cable connector. These solder joints can also be easily pulled apart, rendering the data cable unusable.
[0004] Therefore, current data cable testing methods and equipment cannot accurately reflect the tensile strength of data cables, posing a risk that defective products may be passed to the next workstation.
[0005] Our company has developed a data cable tensile testing device and applied for a utility model patent, patent number 202420591514.8, which effectively solves the above problems. However, as the sliding plate moves away from the fixed plate, the data cable connectors fixed in the first and second fixed slots gradually move away. Once the host computer detects that the data cable is not conductive, it indicates that the core wire or solder contact point inside the data cable is broken. Therefore, it can simultaneously take into account both the broken core wire and the broken solder contact point during the test, which can greatly improve the quality of the data cable tensile test and meet the test requirements. However, this device cannot take into account the test of the insertion and removal force of the data cable connector. Invention content and utility model content:
[0006] To solve the above problems and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a data cable tensile testing device;
[0007] The first technical problem to be solved is that while simultaneously considering both the breakage of the data cable core wire and the breakage of the solder contact point during the test can greatly improve the quality of the data cable tensile test and meet the test requirements, it cannot simultaneously consider the test of the insertion and removal force of the data cable connector.
[0008] The specific technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the data cable tensile testing device includes a base, a fixed plate and a sliding plate; the fixed plate is fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the base and close to one end; the sliding plate is disposed on the upper surface of the base in a manner that allows it to be relatively close to or away from the fixed plate and close to the other end of the base.
[0009] The top of the fixing plate is provided with a first test seat, and the side end face of the first test seat is provided with a first plug-in hole groove that is electrically connected to the data cable plug-in connector by plugging in.
[0010] A tension sensor is provided on the top of the sliding plate. The tension sensor is connected to a second test seat. The side end face of the second test seat is provided with a second plug-in slot that is electrically connected to the data cable plug-in by plugging in.
[0011] The inner sides of both the first and second test sockets are provided with a clamping structure for locking the data cable head and preventing the data cable connector from disengaging from the first and second plug-in slots.
[0012] Furthermore, the first and second insertion slots are electrically connected to a conductive plug, which is used to connect to the host computer via electrical signals to form a conductive circuit, and the tension sensor is electrically connected to the host computer via electrical signals.
[0013] Furthermore, a guide rail is provided on the upper surface of the base located between the fixed plate and the sliding plate, and a sliding seat that cooperates with the guide rail is provided on the bottom of the sliding plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper surface of the base is provided with a power structure that drives the sliding plate to reciprocate along the guide rail.
[0015] Furthermore, the power structure is one of a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, a telescopic air cylinder, or an adjusting screw.
[0016] Furthermore, the clamping structure includes a clamping body, the bottom of which has a slot for engaging with the data cable and the data cable head, and guide rods are inserted vertically through the clamping body on both sides of the slot.
[0017] Furthermore, the upper end face of the pressing body is provided with a pressing structure for limiting the relative sliding between the pressing body and the guide rod, including a limiting groove opened on the inner side of the guide rod, a sliding groove opened on the upper end face of the pressing body, and annular sliders sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod symmetrically arranged in the sliding groove. A limiting block is provided on the side wall of the annular slider located at the guide rod position. A spring is provided between the annular sliders. When the spring compresses the annular slider, the limiting block engages with the limiting groove; when the spring compresses the annular slider inward, the limiting block disengages from the limiting groove.
[0018] Furthermore, a pressure cap is detachably provided above the annular slider.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] One advantage of this invention is that it provides a data cable tensile testing device that can test the insertion and removal force of the connector through the relative sliding of the fixed plate and the sliding plate. It also creatively sets up a clamping structure for locking the data cable head and preventing the data cable connector from disengaging from the first and second plug-in slots. This takes into account both the case of data cable core wire breakage and solder contact point breakage, which can greatly improve the quality of data cable tensile testing. Figure description:

[0026] The specific embodiment of this utility model: a data cable tensile testing device includes a base 1, a fixed plate 2 and a sliding plate 6; the fixed plate 2 is fixedly disposed on the upper end surface of the base 1 and close to one end; the sliding plate 6 is disposed on the upper end surface of the base 1 in such a way that it can be relatively close to or away from the fixed plate 2 and close to the other end of the base 1.
[0027] Preferably, the upper surface of the base 1 located between the fixed plate 2 and the sliding plate 6 is provided with a guide rail 5, and the bottom of the sliding plate 6 is provided with a sliding seat that cooperates with the guide rail 5.
[0028] The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a power structure 9 that drives the sliding plate 6 to reciprocate along the guide rail 5. The power structure 9 is one of a telescopic oil cylinder, a telescopic air cylinder, or an adjusting screw. The working principle of the telescopic oil cylinder, telescopic air cylinder, or adjusting screw drives the sliding plate 6 to reciprocate along the guide rail 5, which will not be described in detail here.
[0029] The improvement of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] The top of the fixing plate 2 is provided with a first test seat 3, and the side end face of the first test seat 3 is provided with a first plug-in hole groove that is electrically connected to the data cable plug-in connector by plugging in.
[0031] The top of the sliding plate 6 is provided with a tension sensor 7, and the tension sensor 7 is connected to a second test seat 8. The side end face of the second test seat 8 is provided with a second plug-in slot that is electrically connected to the data cable plug-in by plugging in.
[0032] The inner sides of the first test base 3 and the second test base 8 are each provided with a clamping structure 4 for locking the data cable head and preventing the data cable connector from disengaging from the first or second plug-in slot.
[0033] The data cable tensile testing device can test the insertion and removal force of the connector by the relative sliding of the fixed plate and the sliding plate. It also features a unique clamping structure to lock the data cable head and prevent the data cable connector from disengaging from the first and second plug-in slots. This design accommodates both cases of data cable core wire breakage and solder contact point breakage, which can greatly improve the quality of data cable tensile testing.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the first insertion slot and the second insertion slot are respectively electrically connected to a conductive plug, the conductive plug is used to connect to the host computer with an electrical signal to form a conductive circuit, and the tension sensor 7 is electrically connected to the host computer.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping structure 4 includes a clamping body 12, the bottom of the clamping body 12 is provided with a slot 15 for engaging with the data cable and the data cable head, and guide rods 10 are provided on both sides of the clamping body 12 in the vertical direction.
[0036] The upper end face of the pressing body 12 is provided with a pressing structure for limiting the relative sliding between the pressing body 12 and the guide rod 10. This structure includes a limiting groove 11 opened inside the guide rod 10, a sliding groove 16 opened on the upper end face of the pressing body 12, and an annular slider 13 symmetrically arranged in the sliding groove 16 and sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 10. A limiting block 18 is provided on the side wall of the annular slider 13 located at the guide rod 10. A spring 17 is provided between the annular sliders 13. When the spring 17 presses the annular slider 13, the limiting block 18 engages with the limiting groove 11; when the annular slider 13 is pressed inward, the limiting block 18 disengages from the limiting groove 11.
[0037] Furthermore, a pressure cap 14 is detachably provided above the annular slider 13.
[0038] It should be noted that this utility model is a data cable tensile testing device. In specific operation,
[0039] 1. When testing the insertion and extraction force of the connector, simply insert the data cable connector into the first and second insertion slots. The sliding plate 6 is then driven by a power structure to move outward along the guide rail 5. When the data cable connector disengages from either the first or second insertion slot, the insertion and extraction force of the data cable connector can be obtained from the value measured by the tension sensor 7. This allows for determination of whether the insertion and extraction force of the data cable connector meets the requirements.
[0040] 2. After testing the insertion and removal force of the connector, press the annular slider 13 inward by hand. The limiting block 18 disengages from the limiting groove 11, and the main body 12 is pressed down to lock the data cable and data cable end into the slot 15. A spring 17 is installed between the annular sliders 13. The spring 17 presses against the annular sliders 13, locking the limiting block 18 into the limiting groove 11, preventing the data cable and data cable end from disengaging from the slot 15 due to movement of the pressing body 12.
[0041] At this time, the sliding plate 6 is driven to move outward along the guide rail 5 by the power structure. During this period, the tension sensor 7 records the tension data in real time and transmits the tension data to the host computer. If there is a non-conductivity during the application of tension, it indicates that the core wire or contact inside the data line is broken. The host computer records the tension value at that time, and the sliding plate 6 is reset.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
