Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cables, and more particularly to a cable testing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of power, communication, and industrial automation, the usage and application scope of cables are expanding year by year. However, during long-term use or manufacturing, defects such as bulges and uneven surfaces often occur in cables. These defects not only affect the mechanical and electrical properties of the cables but may also lead to insulation failure, resulting in serious accidents such as electrical short circuits and fires. Therefore, bulge detection of cables has become a crucial step in ensuring cable quality. Currently, cable bulge detection technologies mainly include two methods: manual visual inspection and automatic detection based on image recognition. Manual inspection relies on the operator's experience, judging whether bulges exist on the cable surface through visual inspection and touch. However, this method is inefficient, has limited accuracy, and is prone to missed detections or misjudgments due to fatigue or subjective factors.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a cable inspection device that can perform real-time inspection of cables generated online to reduce human error in detecting bulges on the cable surface. Utility Model Content

[0040] An embodiment of this application provides a cable testing device, the cable testing device comprising:

[0041] Installation platform;

[0042] The first pressure unit is located on the mounting platform;

[0043] The second pressure roller is set parallel to and in close contact with the first pressure roller;

[0044] The detection mechanism is located on the mounting platform. The detection mechanism is closely attached to and clamped between the first wheel pressure group and the second wheel pressure group, and is slidably connected to the first wheel pressure group and the second wheel pressure group.

[0045] A receiving channel is provided between the first wheel pressure group and the second wheel pressure group so that the cable can extend into the receiving channel.

[0046] The cable testing device described above comprises a first pressure roller and a second pressure roller, respectively mounted on a mounting platform, parallel and closely fitted together, forming a receiving channel for accommodating the cable. The testing mechanism is tightly fitted and clamped between the first and second pressure rollers, and slidably connected to them. This allows for cable testing as the cable passes through the receiving channel, enabling real-time monitoring within the channel to prevent displacement or deformation of the cable during testing, thus ensuring the accuracy of the test results and guaranteeing cable quality and safety.

[0047] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0048] according to Figures 1-5 This application provides a cable testing device 100, which includes: a mounting platform 10, a first pressure group 20, a second pressure group 30, and a testing mechanism 40.

[0049] The first pressure assembly 20 is disposed on the mounting platform 10; the second pressure assembly 30 is parallel to and fitted to the first pressure assembly 20; the detection mechanism 40 is disposed on the mounting platform 10, and the detection mechanism 40 is fitted and clamped between the first pressure assembly 20 and the second pressure assembly 30, and is slidably connected to the first pressure assembly 20 and the second pressure assembly 30; wherein, a receiving channel is provided between the first pressure assembly 20 and the second pressure assembly 30 so that the cable can extend into the receiving channel.

[0050] Specifically, the first pressure unit 20 and the second pressure unit 30 together form a receiving channel to guide the cable into the detection area. At the same time, the first pressure unit 20 and the second pressure unit 30 achieve preliminary positioning and fixation of the cable through a sliding connection with the detection mechanism 40.

[0051] Furthermore, the first and second pressure groups 20 can respectively press the upper and lower surfaces of the cable, ensuring accurate overall cable inspection and facilitating the inspection mechanism 40's testing of the cable. The inspection mechanism 40 is the core component of the cable inspection device, used for real-time cable inspection, identifying defects such as bulges and unevenness on the cable surface. The inspection mechanism 40 is tightly fitted and clamped between the first and second pressure groups 20 and 30, and slidably connected to them, ensuring it moves with the cable during inspection. This allows for comprehensive, blind-spot-free cable inspection, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection.

[0052] In summary, the cable enters from one end of the receiving channel, is clamped and transmitted by the first pressure group 20 and the second pressure group 30, and finally exits from the other end. During the transmission process, the detection mechanism 40 performs real-time detection on the cable.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the first wheel pressing group 20 includes: a first conveying member 21 and a first rotating shaft 22, the first conveying member 21 being sleeved on the first rotating shaft 22; the second wheel pressing group 30 includes: a second conveying member 31 and a second conveying shaft, the second conveying member 31 being sleeved on the second conveying shaft 32, and the first conveying member 21 and the second conveying member 31 being fitted and connected.

[0054] Specifically, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 22 drives the movement of the first conveyor 21, thereby realizing the transmission of the cable. The first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31 are conveyor belts, which are made of a soft material. The first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31 serve as the direct carriers for cable transmission. The cable is transmitted from one end to the other through contact with the first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31. The first rotating shaft 22 provides power to the first conveyor 21 through rotation; the second conveyor shaft 32 provides power to the second conveyor 31 through rotation.

[0055] Furthermore, when the bulge on the cable comes into contact with the first transmission member 21 or the second transmission member 31, the bulge will cause the corresponding position of the first transmission member 21 and the second transmission member 31 with soft material to also bulge, thereby deforming the first transmission member 21 or the second transmission member 31.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the first conveying member 21 has a first sliding groove 21a, the opening of the first sliding groove 21a is disposed facing the second wheel pressure group 30, the second conveying member 31 has a second sliding groove 31a, the opening of the second sliding groove 31a is disposed facing the first wheel pressure group 20, and the first sliding groove 21a and the second sliding groove 31a are pressed together to form the receiving channel.

[0057] Specifically, the first slide groove 21a and the second slide groove 31a: as important components of the receiving channel, the first slide groove 21a and the second slide groove 31a form a closed channel by pressing together, ensuring that the cable will not fall off from both sides during transmission. At the same time, the design of the slide grooves also provides a sliding connection track for the detection mechanism 40, which facilitates the detection mechanism 40 to perform real-time detection of the cable during transmission.

[0058] Furthermore, when the cable enters from one end of the receiving channel, the first conveyor 21 of the first pressure group 20 and the second conveyor 31 of the second pressure group 30 rotate via their respective conveyor shafts, driving the conveyor components to move, thereby realizing the transmission of the cable. Simultaneously, the detection mechanism 40 is tightly fitted and clamped between the first pressure group 20 and the second pressure group 30, and through a sliding connection with the conveyor components via a groove, performs real-time detection of the cable during transmission. When the cable has defects such as bulges or unevenness, the detection mechanism 40 can quickly detect these defects and issue an alarm.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, the first transmission member 21 and the second transmission member 31 move in the same direction.

[0060] Specifically, when the first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31 move in the same direction, they together clamp and push the cable along the receiving channel. This design of co-directional transmission ensures that the cable will not twist, deviate, or jam due to inconsistent directions during transmission, thus guaranteeing stable cable transmission.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the detection mechanism 40 includes: a first detection component 41 disposed on the first conveyor 21 and slidably connected to the first conveyor 21; a second detection component 42 disposed opposite to the first detection component 41 and pressed against the first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31, and the second detection component 42 is slidably connected to the second conveyor 31.

[0062] Specifically, both the first detection component 41 and the second detection component 42 are fixed to the mounting platform 10 by welding or screws, bolts, etc. The first detection component 41 is responsible for detecting one side of the cable, and the second detection component 42 is positioned opposite the first detection component 41, together pressing the first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31 together. This design ensures that the cable is stably clamped during transmission, while the second detection component 42 can detect the other side of the cable, complementing the first detection component 41.

[0063] Furthermore, after the cable detection device is activated, the first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31 begin to move in the same direction, transferring the cable from one end to the other. As the cable is transferred, the first detection component 41 and the second detection component 42 slide on the first conveyor 21 and the second conveyor 31 respectively, maintaining contact with and detecting the cable. The first detection component 41 and the second detection component 42 detect both sides of the cable respectively.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the first detection component 41 includes: a mounting plate 411, which is arranged horizontally on the mounting platform 10 and parallel to the first conveyor 21; and a driving component 412, which is located on the side of the mounting plate 411 close to the first conveyor 21 and is attached to and connected to the first conveyor 21.

[0065] Specifically, the first detection component 41 and the second detection component 42 have the same structure and can both perform cable detection. Here, we will explain the structure of the first detection component 41 in detail.

[0066] Furthermore, the first detection component 41 is fixed to the mounting platform 10 by a mounting plate 411. The mounting plate 411 is horizontally positioned, allowing the drive component 412 to be placed horizontally on it, while ensuring the relative positional relationship between the detection component and the transmission component, facilitating accurate detection. The drive component 412 is located on the side of the mounting plate 411 closest to the first transmission component 21 and is in close contact with it. This design allows the drive component 412 to directly act on the first transmission component 21, providing it with power or adjusting its movement, thereby achieving stable transmission and accurate detection of the cable.

[0067] In one specific embodiment, the driving assembly 412 includes a limiting groove 412a, a roller 4121, and an elastic member 4122. The opening of the limiting groove 412a faces the first conveying member 21, and a sliding cavity is formed in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 412a. One end of the elastic member 4122 is disposed in the sliding cavity, and the other end is connected to the roller 4121. Along the axial direction of the roller 4121, the roller 4121 is in close contact with the first conveying member 21.

[0068] Specifically, the limiting groove 412a provides a fixed space for the elastic element 4122, reducing the risk of malfunctions caused by component loosening or misalignment. The elastic element 4122 can be a type of spring. When the roller 4121 is subjected to an external force (such as a bulge on the cable, caused by deformation of the first transmission component), the elastic element 4122, which is in contact with the first transmission component 21, will compress. When the bulge on the cable moves out of the position of the driving component 412, the external force on the bulge disappears, and the elastic element 4122 returns to its original shape. The roller 4121 is in contact with the first transmission component 21 along its axial direction, allowing the roller 4121 to directly receive the deformation signal from the first transmission component 21 caused by the cable bulge, thus achieving effective linkage between the two.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the drive component 412 further includes an indicator 4123, which is disposed on the side of the mounting plate 411 opposite to the drive component 412, and the indicator 4123 is correspondingly connected to the drive component 412.

[0070] Specifically, the main function of indicator 4123 is to provide a visual feedback mechanism, allowing users to intuitively understand the current status of drive assembly 412, such as whether there is bulging in the cables passing through drive assembly 412. Positioning indicator 4123 on the side of mounting plate 411 away from drive assembly 412 means that indicator 4123 is in a position easily observed by the user, while avoiding direct interference with the internal mechanical structure of drive assembly 412. Indicator 4123 needs to establish an electrical or mechanical connection with drive assembly 412 to accurately reflect changes in the status of drive assembly 412. Indicator 4123 can be an indicator light or an audible alert to remind the user of changes in position.

[0071] In one specific embodiment, the cable detection device further includes: a motor 50, disposed on the mounting platform 10; and a gear set 60, sandwiched between the motor 50 and the mounting platform 10, and connected to the first wheel pressure set 20 and the second wheel pressure set 30.

[0072] Specifically, motor 50 is the power source of the entire cable detection device, responsible for providing the necessary torque and speed to drive the movement of subsequent mechanical structures. Gear set 60, as a transmission mechanism, is responsible for converting the rotational motion of motor 50 into a motion form suitable for the operation of the first pressure wheel 20 and the second pressure wheel 30. Through gear meshing, functions such as reducing speed, increasing torque, and changing the direction of motion can be achieved.

[0073] Furthermore, when the motor 50 starts, its rotational motion is transmitted to the first pressure wheel 20 and the second pressure wheel 30 via the gear set 60. The gear set 60, according to a preset gear ratio, converts the rapid rotation of the motor 50 into a slow, high-torque motion suitable for cable detection. Driven by the gear set 60, the first pressure wheel 20 and the second pressure wheel 30 clamp and detect the cable.

[0074] In one specific embodiment, the gear set 60 includes: a first gear 61 disposed on the mounting platform 10, the first rotating shaft 22 passing through the mounting platform 10 and connected to the central axis of the first gear 61; a second gear 62 meshing with the second gear 62, the second transmission shaft 32 passing through the mounting platform 10 and connected to the central axis of the second gear 62, and the second gear 62 being connected to the motor 50.

[0075] Specifically, the first gear 61 is a key component of the gear set 60, responsible for transmitting its rotational motion to the first transfer shaft. By mounting it on the mounting platform 10, the stability and reliability of the gear set 60 are ensured. Simultaneously, the first rotating shaft 22 passes through the mounting platform 10 and connects to the central axis of the first gear 61, allowing the first gear 61 to drive the first rotating shaft 22 to rotate around its central axis, thereby causing the first transmission component 21 on the first rotating shaft 22 to move synchronously.

[0076] Furthermore, the first gear 61 and the second gear 62 have the same number of gears, thus their rotational speeds are the same. The second gear 62 meshes with the first gear 61, realizing the transmission of rotational motion. The second transmission shaft 32 passes through the mounting platform 10 and connects to the central axis of the second gear 62, ensuring the stable rotation of the second gear 62. At the same time, the connection between the second gear 62 and the motor 50 allows the motor 50 to drive the second gear 62 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 61 to rotate through the meshing action of the gear set 60.

[0077] In summary, when the motor 50 starts, it drives the second gear 62 to rotate. Since the second gear 62 is meshed with the first gear 61, the rotation of the second gear 62 will drive the first gear 61 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 22 and the second transmission shaft 32 pass through the mounting platform 10 and are connected to the central axes of the first gear 61 and the second gear 62, respectively, ensuring the stable rotation of the gear set 60.

[0078] In one specific embodiment, the cable detection device further includes an output strip 70, which is arranged side by side with the mounting platform 10 and is horizontally collinear with the receiving channel.

[0079] Specifically, the output belt 70 transports the inspected cables from the inspection area to the subsequent processing or collection area. The output belt 70 is positioned side-by-side with the mounting platform 10 to ensure the continuity and smoothness of the cables during the inspection process.

[0080] Therefore, the cable testing device 100 provided above, by setting a first pressure group 20 and a second pressure group 30 respectively on the mounting platform 10, with the two arranged parallel and close together, forms a receiving channel for accommodating cables. The testing mechanism 40 is tightly attached to and clamped between the first pressure group 20 and the second pressure group 30, and is slidably connected to the first pressure group 20 and the second pressure group 30, so as to detect the cable when it passes through the receiving channel. This allows the testing mechanism 40 to monitor the cable in real time within the receiving channel when it extends into the receiving channel, preventing the cable from shifting or deforming during the testing process, thus affecting the accuracy of the test results and ensuring the quality and safety of the cable.

[0081] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
