[0003] Patent CN207751894U discloses a data cable connector solder point detection device, which includes a base plate, a CCD camera fixed on the base plate with the CCD camera lens facing the base plate, and a computer connected to the CCD camera. The base plate is provided with a mounting bracket located below the CCD camera, and a rotating disk is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket via a pivot. The device rotates the rotating disk to drive the data cable connector to rotate 360°, so that the CCD camera can capture the solder point from various angles, ensuring the reliability of the detection results.
[0004] However, the existing device requires the testing personnel to repeatedly insert the data cable connectors to be tested into the slots of the rotating disk and rotate the disk along with the connectors using a handle. This results in the testing personnel having to repeatedly insert and unplug the data cable connectors and rotate the handle to adjust the position of the connectors, which is cumbersome and greatly increases the burden on the testing personnel. To address this issue, an automated testing device for data cable connectors is proposed to solve the problem that existing testing equipment cannot conveniently and stably test data cable connectors.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] 1. This automated testing equipment for data cable connectors involves inserting the data cable connector into the slot, then activating a stepper motor to rotate the turntable 180 degrees. During this process, the drive block enters the U-shaped seat, and then a second stepper motor is activated to rotate the drive block 90 degrees.
