[0002] Aircraft use a large number of cable harnesses to maintain the normal operation of avionics systems and connect the various subsystems of the aircraft to form the aircraft's neural network. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the aircraft and to obtain the operating status of each subsystem, we need to inspect the cable harnesses.

[0003] However, due to the large quantity of cables used in aircraft and the lack of differentiation between them, cable bundles are difficult to store. To address this, existing technology provides a cable storage cabinet that effectively stores cable bundles by providing cable storage drawers and temporary cable bundle racks, thereby avoiding the situation of cable bundles being piled up haphazardly.

[0004] However, this cable storage cabinet only solves the problem of temporary placement and storage of cable bundles after use, but it does not solve the problem that the cable bundles are not easily distinguishable. As a result, when they are stored in the cable storage drawer, it is easy to store them in the wrong place, and it is also difficult to find cables by searching around.

[0005] Therefore, a matrix switch structure for cable harness detection is needed to solve the technical problem that current cable storage cabinets cannot distinguish cable harnesses, leading to misalignment and confusion during storage and retrieval. Utility Model Content

[0026] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0028] See attached document Figure 1This embodiment provides a matrix switch structure for cable harness detection, deployed in a cable storage cabinet for the management of cable harness placement. It includes a control module, a matrix switch acquisition module group, a lighting output module, an LED module group, a remote communication module, and a power management module.

[0029] The cable storage cabinet is equipped with several cable storage drawers, each containing several cable harness storage compartments. The cable storage drawers are also equipped with drawer switches and sensor detectors.

[0030] The control module is electrically connected to the matrix switch acquisition module group, the lighting output module, the remote communication module, and the power management module, respectively.

[0031] The LED module group consists of several LED modules; wherein, each LED module is paired with a cable harness storage compartment and is electrically connected to the power management module and the lighting output module, respectively.

[0032] The matrix switch acquisition module group consists of several matrix switch acquisition modules; wherein, each matrix switch acquisition module is configured one-to-one with a cable storage drawer and is electrically connected to the drawer switch and the induction detector respectively;

[0033] The control module is also electrically connected to the main control computer via a remote communication module.

[0034] It should be noted that: in order to achieve the orderly storage of cable harnesses, existing technologies provide, such as Figure 2 The cable storage cabinet shown is used to store and manage cable harnesses. Its specific structure is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the cable storage cabinet consists of a cable storage drawer and a temporary cable harness rack. During the preparation stage, the cable harness is taken out of the cable storage drawer and placed on the temporary cable harness rack. The temporary cable harness rack makes it easy to temporarily access the cable harness. After the test is completed, the cable harness is put back into the cable storage drawer.

[0035] During the storage process, cable harnesses need to be properly stored and placed in their corresponding storage compartments. However, each cable harness lacks distinguishing features, and each cable storage cabinet has many cable storage drawers, each of which contains many cable harness storage compartments. This makes it easy to store cables in the wrong place and difficult to find the corresponding cable harness.

[0036] To address this, this embodiment uses a drawer switch and a sensor to control the unlocking and locking states of the drawer switch on the cable storage drawer. The sensor detects the state of the drawer switch, and a matrix switch acquisition module group enables centralized detection of multiple cable storage drawers, facilitating integrated detection and control. Furthermore, an LED module, paired with a cable harness storage compartment, guides the user to the corresponding compartment, allowing for accurate removal or storage of the cable harness.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the cable harness sleeve is equipped with a QR code identification sleeve, and the QR code identification sleeve is equipped with a QR code that uniquely corresponds to the cable harness; the cable harness can be labeled through the QR code identification, thereby querying the corresponding storage and retrieval location.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the power management module includes an AC power supply module, an AC-DC conversion module, and a DC voltage regulator module, which are electrically connected in sequence to provide the corresponding electrical energy.

[0039] As a further solution, the LED module is an RGB LED module, including an IN port, an SV port, an OUT port, and a GND port; wherein, the OUT port and the GND port are electrically connected to the DC-DC voltage regulator module, and the SV port and the GND port of the RGB LED module are connected to the lighting output module in sequence.

[0040] The RGB LED module can display different colors to indicate different states; for example, green indicates an open window, blue indicates a window removed from the window, and red indicates a drawer not fully closed.

[0041] Specifically, the remote communication module includes an Ethernet communication module; wherein the control module is electrically connected to the main control computer through the Ethernet communication module.

[0042] When locating the corresponding cable harness, the main control computer queries the corresponding storage location, controls the unlock drawer switch, and obtains the opening and closing status through the sensor detector. When the corresponding cable storage drawer is detected to be open, the corresponding LED module is controlled to light up, thereby guiding the user to correctly take out the corresponding cable harness storage compartment.

[0043] Specifically, the remote communication module includes a 485 communication module; wherein, the QR code is scanned by an external scanning device, and the 485 communication module is electrically connected to the control module.

[0044] In practical use, when users need to store cable harnesses, they connect to the 485 communication module via an external scanning device such as a mobile phone, scan the QR code on the cable harness, and send the scanned information back to the control module. The control module then controls the unlock drawer switch according to the preset storage location and obtains the opening and closing status through the sensor. When the corresponding cable storage drawer is detected to be open, the corresponding LED module is controlled to light up, thereby guiding the user to correctly place the cable harness into the corresponding storage compartment.

[0045] The above are only some embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made under the technical concept of this application and using the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of this application.
