Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cable fastener testing, and in particular to a testing device for submarine cable fasteners. Background Technology
[0002] Submarine cables are cables laid on the seabed for telecommunications transmission. Submarine cables are fixed to the seabed with fasteners to ensure that the cables are arranged in an orderly manner and will not loosen or fall off, thereby effectively protecting the stability and safety of cable telecommunications transmission. The fasteners need to be immersed in the seabed for a long time, and they will be tested to ensure that they are not corroded by seawater.
[0003] Existing fastener testing devices use a testing instrument that contacts the fastener to check whether the thickness of the protective layer on the fastener surface meets the requirements to ensure the fastener's corrosion resistance. However, these fastener testing devices have low testing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a submarine cable fastener testing device, which is equipped with a bidirectional placement mechanism. The two sets of placement plates are alternately moved to the testing mechanism by the drive mechanism for testing. When testing fasteners on any placement plate, the staff can disassemble and replace the fasteners on the other set of placement plates, which shortens the time for disassembling and replacing fasteners and improves the fastener testing efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a submarine cable fastener detection device, comprising a base plate, a bidirectional placement mechanism, and a detection mechanism. The detection mechanism is disposed on the top of the base plate, and the bidirectional placement mechanism is disposed on the base plate and extends laterally through the detection mechanism.

[0008] Specifically, the testing mechanism includes a testing chamber, a lifting rod, multiple sets of testing instruments, and a lifting plate. The testing chamber is mounted on a base plate and has open ends. The lifting rod passes through the upper wall of the testing chamber. The lifting plate is located inside the testing chamber and below the lifting rod. The multiple sets of testing instruments are arranged horizontally below the lifting plate.
[0009] Specifically, the card holder and the detector are set up accordingly.
[0010] Specifically, the card holder consists of two sets of symmetrically arranged rod structures, which are arranged in parallel and are horizontally positioned on the placement plate.
[0011] Specifically, the rod structure is a U-shaped structure, and the openings of the two sets of rod structures are arranged opposite each other.
[0012] Specifically, the drive compartment is provided with symmetrical slide rails on both sides, and sliders are symmetrically slidable on the slide rails. Connecting rods are symmetrically connected under the placement plate, and the connecting rods are connected to the ends of the sliders.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0018] The submarine cable fastener detection device of this utility model embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the submarine cable fastener detection device of this utility model embodiment may include a base plate 1, a bidirectional placement mechanism 2, and a detection mechanism 3.
[0020] The detection mechanism 3 is located on the top of the substrate 1.
[0021] It should be noted that the detection mechanism 3 described in this embodiment is used to detect fasteners.
[0022] The bidirectional placement mechanism 2 is disposed on the substrate 1 and is disposed laterally through the detection mechanism 3. The bidirectional placement mechanism 2 includes a drive component 4, symmetrically arranged placement plates 5 and multiple sets of card holders 6.
[0023] The driving component 4 is located on the top of the substrate 1 and extends horizontally through the detection mechanism 3. Two sets of placement plates 5 are movably mounted on the driving component 4, and multiple sets of card holders 6 are evenly arranged horizontally on the placement plates 5.
[0024] It should be noted that the drive component 4 described in this embodiment controls the two sets of placement plates 5 to move laterally. One set of placement plates 5 moves into the detection mechanism 3, and the other moves out of the detection mechanism 3. The placement plates 5 move back and forth into and out of the detection mechanism 3 under the control of the drive component 4.
[0025] Specifically, when relevant personnel conduct fastener testing, they place fasteners on both sets of placement plates 5, which are then placed on the mounting brackets 6. The drive motor 8 then rotates the lead screw 10, which in turn moves the two sets of lead screw nuts 11 and the placement plates 5, controlling one set of placement plates 5 to enter the testing mechanism 3. At this time, the other set of placement plates 5 moves away from the testing mechanism 3. After the placement plates 5 and fasteners enter the testing mechanism 3, the lifting rod 13 controls the lifting plate 15 and the testing instrument 14 to descend. After the testing instrument 14 descends, it contacts the fasteners to test the protective layer thickness. After the test, the lifting rod 13 controls the testing instrument 14 to rise, and then the drive motor 8 controls the lead screw 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the fasteners that have completed the test to move out of the testing chamber 12. Simultaneously, the other set of fasteners moves towards the testing chamber 12 and finally enters it for testing. The personnel remove the fasteners that have completed the test and install the untested fasteners on the corresponding placement plates 5. This process is repeated to complete the fastener testing. In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive chamber 7, a drive motor 8, a control block 9, a lead screw 10, and symmetrically arranged lead screw nuts 11.
[0026] The drive chamber 7 is mounted on the base plate 1, the drive motor 8 is mounted inside the drive chamber 7, the lead screw 10 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 8, two sets of lead screw nuts 11 are sleeved on the lead screw 10, and the control block 9 is connected to the lead screw nuts 11 and connected to the bottom surface of the control block 9.
[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the drive motor 8 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, and the lead screw 10 drives the two sets of lead screw nuts 11 and the placement plate 5 to move, controlling any one set of placement plates 5 to enter the detection mechanism 3, while the other set of placement plates 5 moves away from the detection mechanism 3.
[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the testing mechanism 3 includes a testing chamber 12, a lifting rod 13, multiple sets of testing instruments 14, and a lifting plate 15.
[0029] The detection chamber 12 is disposed on the base plate 1. The detection chamber 12 has an open structure at both ends. The lifting rod 13 is disposed through the upper wall of the detection chamber 12. The lifting plate 15 is disposed inside the detection chamber 12 and below the lifting rod 13. Multiple sets of detectors 14 are arranged horizontally below the lifting plate 15.
[0030] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the lifting rod 13 controls the lifting plate 15 and the detector 14 to descend. After the detector 14 descends, it contacts the fastener and detects the thickness of the protective layer of the fastener.
[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the card holder 6 and the detector 14 are set up accordingly.
[0032] It should be noted that the spacing between the fasteners on the card holder 6 described in this embodiment is the same as the spacing between the detector 14, ensuring that the card holder 6 and the detector 14 are in contact one by one.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the card holder 6 consists of two sets of symmetrically arranged rod structures, which are arranged in parallel and horizontally on the placement plate 5.
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rod structure is a U-shaped structure, with the openings of the two sets of rod structures facing each other.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, slide rails 16 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive compartment 7, and sliders 17 are symmetrically slidably arranged on the slide rails 16. Connecting rods 18 are symmetrically connected to the bottom of the placement plate 5, and the connecting rods 18 are connected to the end of the sliders 17.
[0036] It should be noted that during the movement of the placement plate 5 described in this embodiment, the slider 17 slides on the slide rail 16, which improves the stability and smoothness of the movement of the placement plate 5.
[0037] In summary, the submarine cable fastener testing device of this utility model is equipped with a bidirectional placement mechanism. The two sets of placement plates are alternately moved to the testing mechanism for testing by the drive mechanism. When testing fasteners on any placement plate, the staff can disassemble and replace the fasteners on the other set of placement plates, which shortens the time for disassembling and replacing fasteners and improves the fastener testing efficiency.
