An electric telescopic rod 8 is provided at the bottom of the support seat 7, and a brake wheel 9 is installed at the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 8 to facilitate the lifting and moving of the base plate 1.
[0025] A detection mechanism 2 is installed above the base plate 1. The detection mechanism 2 includes a detection body 201. A control panel 202 is installed on the front of the detection body 201. Detection through holes 203 are installed through the left and right side walls of the detection body 201. Two protective shells 204 are installed inside the detection body 201. The two protective shells 204 are located on both sides of the two detection through holes 203. A high-frequency electromagnetic generator 205 and a transmitting coil 206 are installed inside one of the protective shells 204. A receiving coil 207 is installed inside the other protective shell 204. The control panel 205 is electrically connected to the high-frequency electromagnetic generator 205 and the receiving coil 207 respectively through wires. The transmitting coil 206 is electrically connected to the high-frequency electromagnetic generator 205 through wires. Two warning lights 208 are installed on the top of the detection body 201. The warning lights 208 are connected to the control panel 202 through wires.
[0026] The bottom of the warning light 208 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 209, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the detection body 201, providing a strong reinforcement and preventing it from shaking during operation.
[0027] A fixing plate 210 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the control panel 202, and the fixing plate 210 is fixedly connected to the detection body 201. The fixing plate 210 can reinforce the control panel 202 and effectively prevent it from shifting or becoming unstable during operation.
[0028] Two support columns 3 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1, and a take-up roller 4 is rotatably connected between the two support columns 3. A support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the back of one of the support columns 3, and a drive motor 6 connected to the take-up roller 4 is installed on the support plate 5.
[0029] A protective box 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive motor 6, and the bottom surface of the protective box 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 5.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the cable to be tested is first passed through the detection through-hole 203 on the detection body 201 and installed on the winding roller 4. When the cable outer sheath needs to be tested, the drive motor 6 is started via the control panel 202, driving the winding roller 4 to rotate, thereby moving and winding the cable. When the cable passes through the detection body 201, the high-frequency electromagnetic generator 205 generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field. Then, the transmitting coil 206 transmits the high-frequency electromagnetic field to the cable outer sheath, and the receiving coil 207 receives the electromagnetic field from the cable outer sheath. The reflected high-frequency electromagnetic field signal is then detected, analyzed, and recorded by the control panel 202 to achieve accurate detection, enhance the effectiveness of the device, and improve detection accuracy. When damage to the cable outer sheath is detected, the warning light 208 can alert the staff, providing a good warning effect and enhancing the applicability of the device. This effectively avoids the problem that the detection equipment can only perform simple detection on the cable outer sheath and cannot detect defects inside the cable outer sheath, such as bubbles, cracks, and impurities, which would reduce the cable's service life.
