If you want to measure the voltage between any two pins, multiple wires are needed, which is complex and affects the normal use of the D-Sub cable. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an adapter fixture and voltage testing device for measuring the voltage between two pins of a D-Sub connector.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an adapter fixture for voltage testing of D-Sub connection lines. The adapter fixture includes two adapters, two DIP switches, and a voltage test connector. The two adapters are spaced apart, and each adapter includes multiple pins. The multiple pins of the two adapters correspond one-to-one and are electrically connected. Each DIP switch includes multiple sub-switches, and each sub-switch has two states: open and closed. One end of each sub-switch of each DIP switch is electrically connected to one pin of one adapter. The voltage test connector includes a central part and an outer shielding layer. The other ends of the multiple sub-switches of one DIP switch are short-circuited and electrically connected to the central part, and the other ends of the multiple sub-switches of the other DIP switch are short-circuited and electrically connected to the outer shielding layer.
[0006] One sub-switch of the DIP switch is switched to the open state, and the other sub-switch of the other DIP switch is switched to the open state. The center part and the outer shell shielding layer of the voltage test connector are respectively used to electrically connect with the tester to measure the voltage between the center part and the outer shell shielding layer, and then measure the voltage between the pins corresponding to the two sub-switches.
[0007] In one embodiment, the number of sub-switches of the two DIP switches is the same.
[0008] In one embodiment, the number of pins of the adapter is the same as the number of sub-switches of the DIP switch, and one pin of each adapter corresponds one-to-one with one sub-switch of each DIP switch.
[0009] In one embodiment, the number of pins of the adapter includes 9, 15, 25, 37, or 44.
[0010] In one embodiment, one of the adapters is a male connector and the other is a female connector.
[0011] In one embodiment, the outer shielding layer of the voltage test connector is made of a non-magnetic material, including beryllium copper, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy.
[0012] In one embodiment, the adapter fixture further includes a housing having a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity spaced apart, the two adapters being respectively embedded in and partially exposed in opposite cavity walls of the first receiving cavity, the voltage test connector being embedded in and partially exposed in the other cavity wall of the first receiving cavity, and the two DIP switches being spaced apart in the second receiving cavity.

[0015] This utility model also proposes a voltage testing device, which includes the adapter fixture and voltage tester as described above, wherein the voltage test connector of the adapter fixture is electrically connected to the voltage tester.
[0016] The technical solution of this utility model is to connect multiple pins of two adapters one-to-one and electrically connect them respectively, and connect multiple sub-switches of two DIP switches to multiple pins one-to-one. The other end of multiple sub-switches of one DIP switch is shorted and electrically connected to the center of the voltage test connector, and the other end of multiple sub-switches of the other DIP switch is shorted and electrically connected to the outer shell shielding layer of the voltage test connector.
[0017] Connect the D-Sub cable to be tested to the two adapters on this adapter fixture.

Similarly, you can test the voltage between the second and fifth pins, or the third and sixth pins, or any other desired pair of pins. This allows you to test the voltage between any two pins of the D-Sub cable. Using this adapter fixture to test the voltage between any two pins of the D-Sub cable requires no additional wiring, making the testing process much simpler. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In magnetic resonance imaging equipment, it is often necessary to check the voltage between each pin on each D-Sub (D-Subminiature) connector line.
[0027] Existing methods for measuring the voltage between each pin on a D-Sub cable typically require an additional wire to be connected to the two pins to be measured. If you want to measure the voltage between any two pins, multiple wires are needed, which is complex and affects the normal use of the D-Sub cable.
[0028] This invention proposes an adapter fixture and a voltage testing device, designed to measure the voltage between two pins of a D-Sub connector.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the adapter fixture 100 is used for voltage testing of D-Sub connection lines. The adapter fixture 100 includes two adapters 1, two DIP switches 2, and a voltage test connector 3. The two adapters 1 are spaced apart, and each adapter 1 includes multiple pins. The multiple pins of the two adapters 1 correspond one-to-one and are electrically connected respectively. Each DIP switch 2 includes multiple sub-switches 21. Each sub-switch 21 has two states: open and closed. One end of each sub-switch 21 of each DIP switch 2 is electrically connected to one pin of an adapter 1. The voltage test connector 3 includes a central part and an outer shell shielding layer 31. The other ends of the multiple sub-switches 21 of one DIP switch 2 are short-circuited and electrically connected to the central part. The other ends of the multiple sub-switches 21 of the other DIP switch 2 are short-circuited and electrically connected to the outer shell shielding layer 31.
[0030] One sub-switch 21 of one DIP switch 2 is switched to the open state, and the other sub-switch 21 of another DIP switch 2 is switched to the open state. The center part of the voltage test connector 3 and the outer shell shielding layer 31 are respectively used to electrically connect with the tester to measure the voltage between the center part and the outer shell shielding layer 31, and then measure the voltage between the corresponding pins of the two sub-switches 21.
[0031] In this embodiment, the adapter 1 of the adapter fixture 100 is a D-Sub connector. Common pin counts for D-Sub connectors include, but are not limited to, 9, 15, 25, 37, 44, 50, 62, and 78 pins. Common types of D-Sub connectors include male and female connectors. The combination of the two adapters 1 of the adapter fixture 100 can be a male-male combination, a female-female combination, or a male-female combination; no further limitation is made here. The electrical connection between the pins of the two adapters 1 can be achieved through cables or by using a PCB board for one-to-one electrical connection; no further limitation is made here. The DIP switch 2 is a commercially available DIP switch 2 with multiple sub-switches 21, and the type can be a flat switch or a piano key type, etc. The number of sub-switches 21 of the two DIP switches 2 can be the same, and the same as the number of pins of the D-Sub connection line. Each sub-switch 21 is electrically connected to a corresponding pin. By controlling the opening and closing of the sub-switches 21 of the two DIP switches 2, the voltage value between any two pins of the D-Sub connection line can be measured. It is understood that, in another embodiment, the number of sub-switches 21 of the DIP switch 2 is one less than the number of pins of the D-Sub connection line. For example, if the number of pins of the D-Sub connection line is 9, the number of sub-switches 21 of the two DIP switches 2 is 8 each. The 8 sub-switches 21 of the first DIP switch 2 are electrically connected to pins 1 to 8 of the D-Sub connection line, and the 8 sub-switches 21 of the second DIP switch 2 are electrically connected to pins 2 to 9 of the D-Sub connection line. The voltage value between any two pins of the D-Sub connection line can also be measured through the two DIP switches 2.
[0032] The voltage test connector 3 is a BNC connector, a bayonet-type coaxial cable connector used for quick connection to a voltage tester and ensuring stable signal transmission. The voltage test connector 3 includes a center section and an outer shielding layer 31. The center section contains pins, which act as the inner conductor responsible for signal transmission. The outer shielding layer 31 isolates the center section to prevent short circuits. The center section is shorted to multiple sub-switches 21 of one of the DIP switches 2, and the outer shielding layer 31 is shorted to multiple sub-switches 21 of the other DIP switch 2. By opening the first sub-switch 21 of the first DIP switch 2 and the second sub-switch 21 of the second DIP switch 2, the voltage between the center section and the outer shielding layer 31 can be measured. This allows for the determination of the voltage between the pins of the D-Sub connection corresponding to the first sub-switch 21 of the first DIP switch 2 and the pins of the D-Sub connection corresponding to the second sub-switch 21 of the second DIP switch 2.
[0033] The technical solution of this utility model is to connect multiple pins of two adapters 1 one by one and electrically connect them respectively, and connect multiple sub-switches 21 of two DIP switches 2 one by one to multiple pins respectively. The other end of the multiple sub-switches 21 of one DIP switch 2 is short-circuited and electrically connected to the center of the voltage test connector 3, and the other end of the multiple sub-switches 21 of the other DIP switch 2 is short-circuited and electrically connected to the outer shell shielding layer 31 of the voltage test connector 3.
[0034] Connect the D-Sub cable to be tested to the two adapters 1 of this adapter fixture 100. To test the voltage between the first and second pins, turn on the first sub-switch 21 of one DIP switch 2 and the second sub-switch 21 of the other DIP switch 2, and turn off the other sub-switches 21. This will allow you to test the voltage between the first and second pins of the D-Sub cable. Similarly, you can test the voltage between the second and fifth pins, or the voltage between the third and sixth pins, or any other desired pair of pins. This allows you to test the voltage between any two pins of the D-Sub cable. Using this adapter fixture 100 to test the voltage between any two pins of the D-Sub cable eliminates the need for additional wiring, making the testing process much simpler.
[0035] In the embodiments of this utility model, the number of sub-switches 21 of the two DIP switches 2 is the same.
[0036] In this embodiment, the number of sub-switches 21 on both DIP switches 2 is the same. The number of sub-switches 21 can be the same as the number of pins on the D-Sub connection line. For example, if the D-Sub connection line has 9 pins, both DIP switches 2 have 9 sub-switches 21. The 9 sub-switches 21 of the first DIP switch 2 are electrically connected to pins 1 to 9 of the D-Sub connection line, and the 9 sub-switches 21 of the second DIP switch 2 are also electrically connected to pins 1 to 9 of the D-Sub connection line. By opening and closing the sub-switches 21 of the two DIP switches 2, the measurement of the D-Sub connection line can be achieved. The voltage value between any two pins of the D-Sub connection can be measured. Alternatively, the number of sub-switches 21 of the D-Sub connection can be one less than the number of pins of the D-Sub connection. For example, if the number of pins of the D-Sub connection is 9, the number of sub-switches 21 of the two D-Sub switches 2 is 8 each. The 8 sub-switches 21 of the first D-Sub switch 2 are electrically connected to pins 1 to 8 of the D-Sub connection, and the 8 sub-switches 21 of the second D-Sub switch 2 are electrically connected to pins 2 to 9 of the D-Sub connection. The voltage value between any two pins of the D-Sub connection can also be measured through the two D-Sub switches 2.
[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, the number of pins of the adapter 1 is the same as the number of sub-switches 21 of the DIP switch 2, and one pin of each adapter 1 corresponds one-to-one with one sub-switch 21 of each DIP switch 2.
[0038] In this embodiment, the number of sub-switches 21 of the two DIP switches 2 is the same and the same as the number of pins of the adapter 1. For example, the number of pins of the D-Sub connection line is 15, and the number of sub-switches 21 of the two DIP switches 2 is 15. The 15 sub-switches 21 of the first DIP switch 2 are electrically connected to pins 1 to 15 of the D-Sub connection line, and the 15 sub-switches 21 of the second DIP switch 2 are electrically connected to pins 1 to 15 of the D-Sub connection line, respectively. By turning on the first sub-switch 21 of the first DIP switch 2 and the second sub-switch 21 of the second DIP switch 2, the voltage value between the first and second pins of the D-Sub connection line can be measured; by turning on the second sub-switch 21 of the first DIP switch 2 and the third sub-switch 21 of the second DIP switch 2, the voltage value between the second and third pins of the D-Sub connection line can be measured.
[0039] In embodiments of this invention, the number of pins on the adapter 1 includes 9, 15, 25, 37, or 44.
[0040] In this embodiment, the number of pins of adapter 1 should be selected according to the number of pins of the D-Sub adapter cable to be measured. Commonly available D-Sub adapter cables have 9, 15, 25, 37, or 44 pins. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of pins of the D-Sub adapter cable may also include 50, 62, or 78 pins.
[0041] In an embodiment of this utility model, one adapter 1 is a male connector and the other adapter 1 is a female connector.
[0042] In this embodiment, the two adapters 1 of the adapter fixture 100 are one male and the other female. The D-Sub connection cable to be measured is divided into two wires. One end of one wire is normally connected to the power equipment, and the other end is connected to the male wire. The other wire is normally connected to the power equipment, and the other end is connected to the female wire. This will not affect the normal use of the D-Sub connection cable.
[0043] In the embodiments of this utility model, the outer shell shielding layer 31 of the voltage test connector 3 is made of a non-magnetic material, including beryllium copper, stainless steel or aluminum alloy.
[0044] In this embodiment, the outer shell shielding layer 31 is made of a non-magnetic material, including beryllium copper, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy, which are free of iron and nickel alloys. This material can isolate the central part and prevent short circuits.
