Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power strip testing fixtures, and in particular to a three-port wired power strip testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Existing three-port corded power strips all have sockets on the same end face. To prevent interference between different plugs, a new type of three-port corded power strip with sockets on different end faces has been designed, with the sockets distributed on the front and side faces of the power strip. These power strips undergo power-on testing after production. Currently, the testing method involves the tester first inserting the power strip plug into the socket to activate it, and then inserting the test plug into each socket in turn, checking the power-on status of the sockets. This testing method is inefficient and poses a risk of electric shock. Therefore, a new testing fixture for three-port corded power strips has been designed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing power strip testing fixtures, the purpose of this invention is to provide a three-port wired power strip testing fixture, which has advantages such as improving testing efficiency and protecting the safety of testing personnel.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: a three-port wired power strip testing fixture, comprising a positioning base, a workbench, a vertical support, a rotary clamping cylinder, a test plug, a plug positioning block, a first cylinder, a second cylinder, and a third cylinder. The vertical support is fixedly connected to the center of the workbench end face. Below the vertical support are a positioning base and a rotary clamping cylinder fixed to the workbench. A first cylinder, fixed to the workbench end face, is located on one side of the positioning base. A test plug is located at the telescopic end of the first cylinder. A second cylinder is fixedly connected to the front end face of the vertical support. Two test plugs are symmetrically arranged at the telescopic end of the second cylinder. A third cylinder is located on the side end face of the vertical support. A plug positioning block is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the third cylinder.

[0005] Preferably, one side of the workbench end face has a solenoid valve, which is used to control the rotary clamping cylinder, the first cylinder, the second cylinder and the third cylinder, and the other side of the workbench end face has an energy-consuming lamp, which is used to consume the short-circuit power of the four-outlet power strip.

[0006] Preferably, the top surface of the positioning base has a positioning groove for embedding the power strip, one side of the positioning groove has an opening for the wire harness to extend out, and the other side of the positioning groove has an opening for the power strip socket to protrude.

[0007] Preferably, the end face of the plug positioning block has an embedding groove for inserting a power strip plug, the top of the embedding groove has an opening for the wire harness to extend out, and the bottom of the embedding groove has an opening for the plug connection end to extend out.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the plug positioning block is provided with a power socket on the end face of the workbench;

[0009] Preferably, the front face of the workbench has a power switch, an emergency stop button and a dual start button, and the upper face of the workbench has a detection light that displays the power status of different sockets of the three-port wired power strip, the number of the detection lights corresponding to the number of sockets of the three-port wired power strip;

[0010] Preferably, the workbench is provided with a circuit board, which is used to receive the power-on signal of the test plug. When the test light is constantly on green, the test plug is qualified. When the test light is constantly on red, the test plug is open-circuited. When the test light is constantly on red and the energy-consuming lamp is lit, the test plug is short-circuited.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The testing process only requires pressing the dual start button to control the power strip to be energized and fixed, and to simultaneously test multiple sockets of the power strip. The entire process does not require the tester to test the sockets one by one, thus saving time and improving testing efficiency; 2. The plug positioning block is driven by the third cylinder to energize or de-energize the plug. The tester will not come into contact with the live power strip during the entire process, thus protecting the safety of the tester. Attached Figure Description

[0021] A three-port plug-in strip test fixture includes a positioning base 1, a workbench 2, a vertical support 3, a rotary clamping cylinder 4, a test plug 5, a plug positioning block 6, a first cylinder 7, a second cylinder 8, and a third cylinder 9. The vertical support 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the end face of the workbench 2. The positioning base 1 and the rotary clamping cylinder 4, which are fixed to the workbench 2, are located below the vertical support 3. The first cylinder 7, which is fixed to the end face of the workbench 2, is located on one side of the positioning base 1. The test plug 5 is located at the telescopic end of the first cylinder 7. The second cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the front end face of the vertical support 3. Two test plugs 5 are symmetrically arranged at the telescopic end of the second cylinder 8. The third cylinder 9 is located on the side end face of the vertical support 3. The plug positioning block 6 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the third cylinder 9.

[0022] The workbench 2 has a solenoid valve 21 on one side of its end face. The solenoid valve 21 is used to control the rotary clamping cylinder 4, the first cylinder 7, the second cylinder 8 and the third cylinder 9. The workbench 2 has an energy-consuming lamp 22 on the other side of its end face. The energy-consuming lamp 22 is used to consume the short-circuit power of the four-outlet power strip.

[0023] The top surface of the positioning base 1 has a positioning groove 11 for embedding a power strip. One side of the positioning groove 11 has an opening for the wire harness to extend out, and the other side of the positioning groove 11 has an opening for the power strip socket to protrude.

[0024] The end face of the plug positioning block 6 has an embedding groove 61 for inserting a power strip plug. The top of the embedding groove 61 has an opening for the wire harness to extend out, and the bottom of the embedding groove 61 has an opening for the plug connection end to extend out.

[0025] The bottom of the plug positioning block 6 is provided with a power socket 23 on the end face of the workbench 2;

[0026] The front face of the workbench 2 has a power switch 24, an emergency stop button 25 and a dual start button 26. The upper face of the workbench 2 has a detection light 27 that displays the power status of different sockets of the three-port wired power strip. The number of detection lights 27 corresponds to the number of sockets of the three-port wired power strip.

[0027] The workbench 2 is equipped with a circuit board, which is used to receive the power-on signal of the test plug 5. When the test light 27 is constantly lit and green, the test plug is qualified. When the test light 27 is constantly lit and red, the test plug is open-circuited. When the test light 27 is constantly lit and red and the energy-consuming light 22 is lit, the test plug is short-circuited.

[0028] With the above settings, its specific working principle in actual operation is as follows:

[0029] Power strip positioning: First, straighten the power strip and place it in the positioning groove 11 of the positioning base 1. Then, straighten the power strip plug and place it in the embedding groove 61 of the plug positioning block 6 for positioning. At this time, the power strip is restricted on the positioning base 1 and the plug is restricted in the plug positioning block 6.

[0030] Power strip test: Press the dual start button 26. First, the rotary clamping cylinder 4 and the third cylinder 9 are activated. The rotary clamping cylinder 4 retracts and clamps the power strip onto the positioning base 1. The third cylinder 9 extends and drives the plug positioning block 6 to insert the plug into the power socket 23. At this time, the three-port power strip with wire is in the power-on state.

[0031] Then, the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 8 are started. The first cylinder 7 drives the test plug 5 to be inserted into the socket on the side of the power strip. The second cylinder 8 drives the two test plugs 5 to be inserted into the socket on the front side of the power strip. At this time, when the test light 27 is constantly green, the power strip is qualified. When the test light 27 is constantly red, the power strip is open circuit. When the test light 27 is constantly red and the energy consumption light 22 is lit, the power strip is short circuit.

[0032] After the test is completed, press the dual start button 26 again. At this time, the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 8 will act first. The first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 8 will retract and remove the test plug 5 from the socket of the power strip. Then the rotary clamping cylinder 4 and the third cylinder 9 will act. The rotary clamping cylinder 4 will extend and no longer pull the power strip to clamp it on the positioning base 1. The third cylinder 9 will retract and drive the plug positioning block 6 to pull the plug out of the power socket 23, thereby de-energizing the four-port power strip with wires. At this time, the four-port power strip with wires can be safely removed.

[0033] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
