Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical performance testing technology, and in particular to a power strip continuity testing instrument. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of power strips, electrical performance testing is required. One type of electrical performance test is the continuity test, which verifies whether the power strip can switch on and off normally. Existing patents include a Chinese patent application (application number 202420398436.X) that discloses a continuity tester for switches and sockets. The tester includes a testing platform, a placement base, a lifting plate, test plugs, probes, a discharge plate, and a discharge plate. Multiple base rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the testing platform. The placement base is slidably mounted on the top of the testing platform and has multiple placement slots for placing switches and sockets. The lifting plate is raised and lowered above the placement base via a lifting assembly. Multiple test plugs are mounted on the bottom of the lifting plate, and probes are mounted on the bottom of each test plug, with a pin on one side of each plug. The discharge plate is slidably mounted through each placement slot, and a discharge assembly is provided between the multiple discharge plates. The discharge plate is movable and mounted on one side of each placement slot. While the patent document can perform continuity testing on multiple switches and sockets at once, it cannot perform continuity testing on power strips that can be connected in series, and it cannot assemble the cover onto one of the terminals of a power strip that can be connected in series.

[0003] Therefore, the defects are very obvious, and a solution is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a power strip continuity test instrument.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A power strip continuity testing instrument includes a machine base, a side plate mounted on the side of the machine base, an upper limit seat mounted on the top of the side plate, a lower support seat mounted on the bottom of the side plate and correspondingly arranged above and below the upper limit seat, a pressing mechanism mounted on the side plate, a lower continuity testing mechanism mounted on the bottom of the side plate and located below the lower support seat, a reciprocating motion drive mechanism mounted on the top surface of the machine base, and an upper continuity testing mechanism and a pressing mechanism, both mounted on the moving ends of the reciprocating motion drive mechanism; the upper limit seat, the lower support seat, and the side plate form a feeding cavity for carrying the power strip, and the middle of the lower support seat has an opening corresponding to the feeding cavity. The upper test port is connected to the lower test port, and the upper test port is opened in the middle of the upper seat and connected to the discharge chamber. The pressing mechanism is located outside one side of the discharge chamber. The test end of the lower on / off test mechanism is correspondingly set to the lower test port. The reciprocating motion drive mechanism can drive the upper on / off test mechanism and the pressing mechanism to move alternately to the upper test port. The pressing end of the pressing mechanism is used to press the plug into the discharge chamber. The test end of the lower on / off test mechanism is used to electrically connect to the lower terminal of the plug. The test end of the upper on / off test mechanism is used to electrically connect to the upper terminal of the plug. The pressing end of the pressing mechanism is used to press the cover onto the upper terminal of the plug.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower support includes two right-angled support members mounted opposite each other on the side plate, with a lower test port formed between the two right-angled support members.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper limit seat includes two right-angled limiting members mounted opposite each other on the side plate, with an upper test port formed between the two right-angled limiting members.

[0009] Furthermore, a sensor is embedded in the side plate, located inside the feeding chamber, and is electrically connected to the pressing mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the power strip continuity tester also includes a controller installed on the machine base. The controller is equipped with a continuity performance tester. The upper continuity test mechanism and the lower continuity test mechanism are electrically connected to the continuity performance tester, respectively. The reciprocating motion drive mechanism, the pressing mechanism, and the pressing mechanism are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] Furthermore, the controller is electrically connected to an alarm, which is installed on the machine and electrically connected to a continuity tester.

[0012] Furthermore, the machine is equipped with a storage bin for storing caps, and the storage bin is located on one side of the side plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a rotary pressing cylinder mounted on the side plate and located on one side of the discharge chamber, and a pressing plate mounted on the rotary pressing end of the rotary pressing cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a pressing cylinder mounted on the moving end of the reciprocating motion drive mechanism and a pressing head mounted on the pressing end of the pressing cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, both the upper and lower continuity test mechanisms include a test cylinder, a test seat mounted on the output end of the test cylinder, and a test probe mounted on the test seat. The test probe is electrically connected to the terminals of the connector. The test cylinder of the upper continuity test mechanism is mounted on the moving end of the reciprocating motion drive mechanism, and the test cylinder of the lower continuity test mechanism is mounted on the side plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In practical applications, the operator or an external robotic arm places the connector into the discharge chamber. The upper limit seat limits the upper end of the connector, and the lower support seat supports the lower end of the connector. The upper limit seat and the lower support seat work together to position the connector vertically placed in the discharge chamber. Then, the pressing end of the pressing mechanism presses the connector into the discharge chamber to ensure the positional accuracy and stability of the connector within the discharge chamber. The upper terminal of the connector is located at the upper test port, and the lower terminal of the connector is located at the lower test port. Then, the test end of the lower continuity test mechanism rises and is electrically connected to the lower terminal of the connector. At the same time, the reciprocating drive mechanism drives the upper continuity test mechanism to move to the upper test port, and the test end of the upper continuity test mechanism descends and is electrically connected to the upper terminal of the connector. The continuity test is then performed. The upper and lower continuity testing mechanisms work together to test the continuity performance of the connector. After the continuity performance test is completed, the test ends of the upper and lower continuity testing mechanisms are reset to release the connector. When the continuity performance test is qualified, the reciprocating drive mechanism drives the upper continuity testing mechanism and the pressing mechanism to move synchronously, so that the pressing mechanism moves to the upper test port. After the operator or external robot places the cap on the upper terminal of the connector, the pressing end of the pressing mechanism descends and presses the cap onto the upper terminal of the connector to seal the upper terminal of the connector. Finally, the pressing mechanism releases the connector, and the operator or external robot can remove the connector from the discharge trough. When the continuity performance test is unqualified, the pressing mechanism directly releases the connector, and the operator or external robot removes the connector from the discharge chamber. This invention not only enables the testing of the continuity performance of power strips, but also allows for the pressing and sealing of one terminal of the power strip to encapsulate that terminal, thereby improving the production efficiency of power strips and reducing labor costs and intensity.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a power strip continuity testing instrument, which includes a machine base 1, a side plate 2 mounted on the side of the machine base 1, an upper limit seat 3 mounted on the top of the side plate 2, a lower support seat 4 mounted on the bottom of the side plate 2 and correspondingly arranged above and below the upper limit seat 3, a pressing mechanism 5 mounted on the side plate 2, a lower continuity testing mechanism 6 mounted on the bottom of the side plate 2 and located below the lower support seat 4, a reciprocating motion drive mechanism 7 mounted on the top surface of the machine base 1, and an upper continuity testing mechanism 8 and a pressing mechanism 9 all mounted on the moving ends of the reciprocating motion drive mechanism 7; the upper limit seat 3, the lower support seat 4 and the side plate 2 are arranged to form a feeding cavity 10 for carrying the power strip 13, and the middle of the lower support seat 4 has a feeding cavity 10 for carrying the power strip 13. The material chamber 10 is connected to the lower test port 11, and the upper test port 12 connected to the material discharge chamber 10 is opened in the middle of the upper limit seat 3. The pressing mechanism 5 is located outside one side of the material discharge chamber 10. The test end of the lower continuity test mechanism 6 is correspondingly set with the lower test port 11. The reciprocating movement drive mechanism 7 can drive the upper continuity test mechanism 8 and the pressing mechanism 9 to move alternately above the upper test port 12. The pressing end of the pressing mechanism 5 is used to press the plug 13 into the material discharge chamber 10. The test end of the lower continuity test mechanism 6 is used to electrically connect with the lower terminal of the plug 13. The test end of the upper continuity test mechanism 8 is used to electrically connect with the upper terminal of the plug 13. The pressing end of the pressing mechanism 9 is used to press the cover onto the upper terminal of the plug 13. Specifically, the power strips 13 can be used in series; when multiple power strips 13 are used in series, the multiple power strips 13 are arranged in a straight line, and one terminal of the previous power strip 13 is electrically connected to one terminal of the next power strip 13; when the power strip 13 is used alone, one terminal of one end of the power strip 13 is not used. In order to improve the safety performance of use, the cover needs to be pressed onto one terminal (upper terminal or lower terminal) of one end of the power strip 13.

[0023] In practical applications, the operator or an external robotic arm places the connector 13 into the discharge chamber 10. The upper limit seat 3 limits the upper end of the connector 13, and the lower support seat 4 supports the lower end of the connector 13. The upper limit seat 3 and the lower support seat 4 work together to position the connector 13 vertically placed in the discharge chamber 10. Then, the pressing end of the pressing mechanism 5 presses the connector 13 into the discharge chamber 10 to ensure the positional accuracy and stability of the connector 13 within the discharge chamber 10. The upper terminal of the connector 13 is located at the upper test port 12, and the lower terminal of the connector 13 is located at the lower test port 11. Then, the test end of the lower continuity testing mechanism 6 rises and is electrically connected to the lower terminal of the connector 13. At the same time, the reciprocating drive mechanism 7 drives the upper continuity testing mechanism 8 to move to the upper test port 12, and the test end of the upper continuity testing mechanism 8 descends and is electrically connected to the upper terminal of the connector 13. The upper continuity testing machine... The upper continuity test mechanism 8 and the lower continuity test mechanism 6 work together to test the continuity performance of the connector 13. After the continuity performance test is completed, the test ends of the upper continuity test mechanism 8 and the lower continuity test mechanism 6 are reset to release the connector 13. When the continuity performance test is qualified, the reciprocating drive mechanism 7 drives the upper continuity test mechanism 8 and the pressing mechanism 9 to move synchronously, so that the pressing mechanism 9 moves to the upper test port 12. After the operator or external robot places the cap on the upper terminal of the connector 13, the pressing end of the pressing mechanism 9 descends and presses the cap onto the upper terminal of the connector 13 to seal the upper terminal of the connector 13. Finally, the pressing mechanism 5 releases the connector 13, and the operator or external robot can take the connector 13 out of the discharge trough. When the continuity performance test is unqualified, the pressing mechanism 5 directly releases the connector 13, and the operator or external robot takes the connector 13 out of the discharge chamber 10. This invention not only enables the testing of the continuity performance of the power strip 13, but also enables the pressing and sealing of one terminal of the power strip 13 to encapsulate one terminal of the power strip 13, thereby improving the production efficiency of the power strip 13 and reducing labor costs and labor intensity.

[0024] In this embodiment, the lower support includes two right-angled support members 14 mounted opposite each other on the side plate 2, forming a lower test port 11 between the two right-angled support members 14. In practical applications, the two right-angled support members 14 support and position the two bottom corners of the plug 13 in the discharge cavity 10, and the lower terminal of the plug 13 is located exactly at the lower test port 11, ensuring the positional accuracy and stability of the plug 13 in the discharge cavity 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper limit seat 3 includes two right-angle limiting members 15 mounted opposite each other on the side plate 2, forming an upper test port 12 between the two right-angle limiting members 15. In practical applications, the two right-angle limiting members 15 limit the two apex corners of the connector 13 in the discharge cavity 10, and the upper terminal of the connector 13 is located exactly at the upper test port 12, ensuring the positional accuracy and stability of the connector 13 in the discharge cavity 10.

[0026] In this embodiment, a sensor 16 is embedded in the side plate 2. The sensor 16 is located inside the discharge chamber 10 and is electrically connected to the pressing mechanism 5. In practical applications, when the power strip 13 is placed inside the discharge chamber 10, and the sensor 16 senses that there is a power strip 13 inside the discharge chamber 10, the sensor 16 sends a signal to the pressing mechanism 5, causing the pressing end of the pressing mechanism 5 to work and press the power strip 13 into the discharge chamber 10.

[0027] In this embodiment, the power strip continuity tester also includes a controller 17 mounted on the machine base 1. The controller 17 is equipped with a continuity performance tester. The upper continuity test mechanism 8 and the lower continuity test mechanism 6 are electrically connected to the continuity performance tester, respectively. The reciprocating motion drive mechanism 7, the pressing mechanism 9, and the pressing mechanism 5 are all electrically connected to the controller 17. In practical applications, when the upper continuity test mechanism 8 and the lower continuity test mechanism 6 are electrically connected to the upper and lower terminals of the power strip 13, respectively, the continuity performance tester performs continuity performance testing on the power strip 13. The controller 17 controls the upper continuity test mechanism 8, the lower continuity test mechanism 6, the reciprocating motion drive mechanism 7, the pressing mechanism 9, and the pressing mechanism 5 to perform corresponding actions based on the test results of the continuity performance tester.

[0028] In this embodiment, the controller 17 is electrically connected to an alarm 18, which is installed on the machine base 1. Both the pressing mechanism 5 and the alarm 18 are electrically connected to a continuity performance tester. When the continuity performance tester detects that the continuity performance of the power strip 13 is unqualified, the tester sends signals to the pressing mechanism 5 and the alarm 18 respectively, causing the pressing mechanism 5 to release the power strip 13 and the alarm 18 to sound an alarm, so as to remind the worker that the power strip 13 is unqualified and should be removed.

[0029] In this embodiment, the machine base 1 is equipped with a storage box 19, which is used to store caps. The storage box 19 is located on one side of the side plate 2. In practical applications, the caps are stored in the storage box 19 for easy access and placement on the upper terminal of the connector 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 5 includes a rotary pressing cylinder 20 mounted on the side plate 2 and located on one side of the discharge chamber 10, and a pressing plate 21 mounted on the rotary pressing end of the rotary pressing cylinder 20. In practical applications, after the connector 13 is placed in the discharge chamber 10, the rotary pressing end of the rotary pressing cylinder 20 drives the pressing plate 21 to rotate to correspond with the connector 13. Then, the rotary pressing end of the rotary pressing cylinder 20 drives the pressing plate 21 to press the connector 13 into the discharge chamber 10. When it is necessary to release the connector 13, the rotary pressing cylinder 20 first drives the pressing plate 21 to move away from the connector 13, and then drives the pressing plate 21 to rotate outside the connector 13, so that the connector 13 can be taken out from the discharge chamber 10.

[0031] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 9 includes a pressing cylinder 22 mounted on the moving end of the reciprocating motion drive mechanism 7 and a pressing head 23 mounted on the pressing end of the pressing cylinder 22. In practical applications, the pressing cylinder 22 drives the pressing head 23 to reciprocate, so that the pressing head 23 presses the cap onto the upper terminal of the connector 13.

[0032] In this embodiment, both the upper continuity test mechanism 8 and the lower continuity test mechanism 6 include a test cylinder 24, a test base 25 mounted on the output end of the test cylinder 24, and a test probe 26 mounted on the test base 25. The test probe 26 is electrically connected to the terminals of the connector 13. The test cylinder 24 of the upper continuity test mechanism 8 is mounted on the moving end of the reciprocating motion drive mechanism 7, and the test cylinder 24 of the lower continuity test mechanism 6 is mounted on the side plate 2. In practical applications, the test cylinder 24 drives the test base 25 to move along with the test probe 26, so that the test probe 26 is electrically connected to the terminals of the connector 13 or separated from the terminals of the connector 13.

[0033] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0034] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
