Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a multi-port cap removal device for testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Switch equipment needs to undergo batch testing before leaving the factory. Its plug ports are numerous and densely arranged in a matrix. To prevent dust from entering the plug ports, each plug port is equipped with a dust cover. Therefore, the dust cover needs to be removed before testing and replaced after testing. The process of plugging and unplugging the dust cover is time-consuming and laborious, which directly affects the testing efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design a special device to improve the testing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-port cap removal device that can improve testing efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A multi-port cap removal device for a testing apparatus, comprising:

[0006] The substrate has a handle for gripping on its bottom surface, and a first stop bar and a second stop bar on the two opposite sides of its top surface, respectively.

[0007] A first clamping plate is parallel to and slidably disposed on the top surface of the substrate. A plurality of first springs are provided between its left side edge and the first stop bar, so that the first clamping plate can be elastically translated. The first clamping plate is provided with first clamping through holes in a matrix.

[0008] The second clamping plate is attached to the top surface of the first clamping plate. A plurality of second springs are provided between its right edge and the second stop bar, so that the second clamping plate can be elastically moved. The second clamping plate is provided with second clamping through holes that correspond one-to-one with the first clamping through holes.

[0009] The rotating assembly is mounted on the substrate and passes through the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. It includes a knob portion extending downward from the bottom surface of the substrate and a cam portion with sidewalls for abutting against the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. The circumferential profile of the cam portion is a non-circular cam with major and minor axes. When the rotating assembly rotates to a first angle, the cam portion forces the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate to translate outwards respectively, thereby causing the first clamping through hole and the second clamping through hole to be misaligned to form a clamping state, or overlapped to form a release state.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning plate is further provided parallel to and fixed above the second clamping plate. The positioning plate has positioning holes arranged in a matrix for circumferentially limiting the dust cover. When the first clamping through hole and the second clamping through hole are in a clamping state, their clamping center and the center of the positioning hole are on the same axis.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the knob portion has a chamfered rectangular disc-shaped portion that is aligned with the major and minor axes of the cam portion, and the bottom surface of the substrate is fixed with two fixing strips corresponding to the left and right sides of the disc-shaped portion, and the inner side of each of the two fixing strips is provided with a limiting strip that elastically abuts against the side wall of the disc-shaped portion, so that the rotating assembly is kept in a clamped state or a released state.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a first T-shaped member is fixed to the left edge of the first clamping plate. The horizontal strip of the first T-shaped member is parallel to the left edge of the first clamping plate and is used to fix the first spring. The vertical strip of the first T-shaped member is parallel to the top surface of the second clamping plate and its free end corresponds to the side wall of the cam portion. A second T-shaped member is fixed to the right edge of the second clamping plate. The horizontal strip of the second T-shaped member is parallel to the right edge of the second clamping plate and is used to fix the second spring. The vertical strip is parallel to the top surface of the second clamping plate and its free end corresponds to the side wall of the cam portion. When the rotating assembly rotates, the cam portion forces the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate to translate simultaneously by pushing the first T-shaped member and the second T-shaped member.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of positioning posts are vertically fixed on the top surface of the substrate. The positioning posts pass through the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, and the free end is provided with a T-head that limits the second clamping plate. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate have elongated holes through which the positioning posts pass. The width of the elongated holes is adapted to the diameter of the positioning posts, and the major axis of the elongated holes is parallel to the translational direction of the first clamping plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, the first clamping through hole and the second clamping through hole are in an overlapping position, i.e., in a released state, and are inserted into the tail end of each dust cover. Then, the rotating assembly is rotated to make the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate translate, and the first clamping through hole and the second clamping through hole are misaligned to jointly clamp the tail end of the dust cover, and then the entire dust cover is pulled out by the handle. After the test is completed, the dust cover is inserted again, and finally the rotating assembly is rotated again to disengage the dust cover from the dust cover removal device. By inserting and removing a large number of dust covers by the dust cover removal device, the testing efficiency is significantly improved. Attached Figure Description

[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a multi-port cap removal device for a testing apparatus includes...

[0025] The substrate 1 has a handle 11 for gripping on its bottom surface, and a first stop bar 12 and a second stop bar 13 on the two opposite sides of its top surface.

[0026] The first clamping plate 2 is parallel to and slidably disposed on the top surface of the substrate 1. A plurality of first springs 21 are provided between its left side edge and the first stop bar 12, so that the first clamping plate 2 can be elastically translated. The first clamping plate 2 is provided with first clamping through holes 22 in a matrix.

[0027] The second clamping plate 3 is attached to the top surface of the first clamping plate 2. A plurality of second springs 31 are provided between its right edge and the second stop bar 13, so that the second clamping plate 3 can be elastically moved. The second clamping plate 3 is provided with second clamping through holes 32 that correspond one-to-one with the first clamping through holes 22.

[0028] The rotating assembly 4 is mounted on the substrate 1 and passes through the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3. It includes a knob portion 41 extending downward from the bottom surface of the substrate 1, and a cam portion 42 with sidewalls for abutting against the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3. The circumferential profile of the cam portion 42 is a non-circular cam with major and minor axes. When the rotating assembly 4 rotates to the first angle, the cam portion 42 forces the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 to translate outwards respectively, so that the first clamping through hole 22 and the second clamping through hole 32 are misaligned to form a clamping state, or overlapped to form a release state.

[0029] In use, the first clamping through hole 22 and the second clamping through hole 32 are in an overlapping position, i.e., in the released state, and are inserted into the tail end of each dust cover. Then, the rotating assembly 4 is rotated to make the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 translate, and the first clamping through hole 22 and the second clamping through hole 32 are misaligned to jointly clamp the tail end of the dust cover, and then the entire dust cover is pulled out by the handle 11. After the test is completed, the dust cover is inserted again, and finally the rotating assembly 4 is rotated again to disengage the dust cover from the dust cover removal device. By inserting and removing a large number of dust covers in one go by the dust cover removal device, the testing efficiency is significantly improved.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the dust cover removal device further includes a positioning plate 5 fixed parallel above the second clamping plate 3. The positioning plate 5 has positioning holes 51 arranged in a matrix for circumferentially limiting the dust cover. When the first clamping through hole 22 and the second clamping through hole 32 are in a clamping state, their clamping centers are on the same axis as the center of the positioning holes 51. The positioning holes 51 of the positioning plate 5 can keep each dust cover in a neutral position, thereby ensuring accurate alignment when the plug is reinserted into the interface.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the knob portion 41 has a chamfered rectangular disc-shaped portion 411 aligned with the major and minor axes of the cam portion 42. Two fixing strips 14 corresponding to the left and right sides of the disc-shaped portion 411 are fixed to the bottom surface of the base plate 1. Each fixing strip 14 has an inner side that elastically abuts against the sidewall of the disc-shaped portion 411, thus keeping the rotating assembly 4 in a clamped or released state. The fixing strips 15 can be connected to the fixing strips 14 via springs and guide posts to achieve elastic extension and retraction. This prevents the dust cover from falling off or shifting due to changes in the angle of the rotating assembly 4, thereby ensuring accurate alignment when re-inserting into the connector.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a first T-shaped member 23 is fixed to the left side edge of the first clamping plate 2. The horizontal strip of the first T-shaped member 23 is parallel to the left side edge of the first clamping plate 2 and is used to fix the first spring 21. The vertical strip of the first T-shaped member 23 is parallel to the top surface of the second clamping plate 3 and its free end corresponds to the side wall of the cam portion 42. A second T-shaped member 33 is fixed to the right side edge of the second clamping plate 3. The horizontal strip of the second T-shaped member 33 is parallel to the right side edge of the second clamping plate 3 and is used to fix the second spring 31. The vertical strip is parallel to the top surface of the second clamping plate 3 and its free end corresponds to the side wall of the cam portion 42. When the rotating assembly 4 rotates, the cam portion 42 forces the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 to translate simultaneously by pushing the first T-shaped member 23 and the second T-shaped member 33. When both the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 are thin plates with a large area, the first T-shaped part 23 and the second T-shaped part 33 are provided. This not only facilitates the stable installation of the spring and the stable contact with the cam part 42, but also prevents the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 from bending and deforming, which would affect the accurate alignment of the dust cover.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the substrate 1 of this embodiment is vertically fixed with a plurality of positioning posts 16. The positioning posts 16 pass through the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3, and their free ends are provided with T-heads that limit the positioning of the second clamping plate 3. The first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 have elongated holes 5 through which the positioning posts 16 pass. The width of the elongated holes 5 is adapted to the diameter of the positioning posts 16, and the major axis of the elongated holes 5 is parallel to the translational direction of the first clamping plate 2. The positioning posts 16 can prevent the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 from swaying, and their T-heads can further prevent the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 from being completely deformed, thereby ensuring the accuracy of clamping alignment.

[0034] The above description does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
