Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable testing machines, and in particular to a data cable testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In today's digital age, data cables are widely used for data transmission and charging in various electronic devices. With the rapid growth in market demand for data cables, their quality inspection has become a crucial link in ensuring product performance and user experience. Traditional data cable inspection methods have many limitations; manual inspection is inefficient and highly subjective, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Machine vision-based inspection systems are gradually emerging, with CCD cameras playing a vital role as the core inspection component. However, CCD cameras are expensive, which undoubtedly increases inspection costs.

[0003] The data cable inspection machine includes a feeding device, a clamping device, and an inspection device. The feeding device moves the data cable onto the clamping device, and then the inspection device above the clamping device starts and inspects the data cable held by the clamping device. The main component of the inspection device is generally a CCD camera. During the process of the feeding device and the clamping device connecting the data cable, the CCD camera is in a waiting state. After the clamping device has finished clamping, the CCD camera starts again to perform inspection. The waiting time during this period results in a low inspection rate, leading to low overall efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to reduce the waiting time of the CCD camera used for inspection, this utility model provides a data cable inspection machine.

[0005] This utility model provides a technical solution that adopts the following approach: A data cable testing machine includes a frame, a feeding device, a clamping device, and a testing device. The clamping device includes multiple clamping stations located on the same straight line. The clamping stations are rotatably mounted on the frame. The testing device includes an X-axis rail and a CCD camera. The length direction of the X-axis rail is consistent with the distribution direction of the multiple clamping stations.

[0006] The loading device moves the data cable to the clamping device for clamping, and then slides the CCD camera on the X-axis rail so that the CCD camera is facing one of the clamping stations for inspection. After inspection, the CCD camera moves to the next clamping station for inspection. At this time, the data cable on the clamping station that has been inspected is removed and reloaded. The time that the CCD camera uses to inspect the data cable on the next clamping station is used to unload the data cable on the inspected station and load the data cable on that station, reducing the waiting time of the CCD camera. By reasonably setting up multiple inspection stations, the inspection capability of a single CCD camera can be fully utilized, and the camera can be reused in different stations in a time-sharing manner, reducing the dependence on multiple expensive CCD cameras, thereby effectively controlling the cost investment in the data cable quality inspection process.

[0007] Preferably, the X-axis rail has two parallel tracks, and the CCD camera slides on both tracks simultaneously.

[0008] The CCD camera slides by being constrained by two tracks, which enhances the connection stability between the CCD camera and the X-axis track and helps protect the CCD camera.

[0009] Preferably, the frame is also provided with a Y-axis rail, which is vertically arranged. The Y-axis rail allows the CCD camera to slide to a position close to or away from the clamping station. The Y-axis rail is slidably connected to the X-axis rail, and the CCD camera is connected to the X-axis rail through the Y-axis rail.

[0010] The CCD camera slides on the Y-axis rail, which allows the CCD camera's focal length to be adjusted, enabling the CCD to focus more accurately on the detected position of the data cable, thus improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping station includes pneumatic fingers for clamping data cables.

[0012] When inflating, the pneumatic fingers clamp the data cable; when deflating, the pneumatic fingers release the data cable. By using the pneumatic fingers to hold the data cable, it is less likely to cause wear and tear on the outer layer of the data cable, which helps to protect the data cable.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping station includes a rotary cylinder for driving the pneumatic fingers to rotate, and the rotary cylinder is located inside the frame.

[0014] The rotary cylinder drives the data cable to rotate, enabling the CCD camera to detect different angles of the data cable, making the detection of the data cable more comprehensive.

[0015] Preferably, the frame is further provided with a Z-axis rail, and the pneumatic finger is slidably connected to the Z-axis rail, which is perpendicular to the X-axis rail and the Y-axis rail.

[0016] The pneumatic finger moves along the Z-axis, which is perpendicular to the X-axis, causing the data cable to move perpendicular to the X-axis. This allows the inspected portion of the data cable to be aligned with the CCD camera, enabling the inspection machine to detect data cables of different lengths. Simultaneously, the CCD camera is separately positioned outside the Z-axis in the third direction, simplifying the CCD camera's drive components and improving the overall rationality of the device's setup.

[0017] Preferably, two CCD cameras are provided, and a bracket is slidably connected to the Y-axis rail. The two CCD cameras are arranged along the length of the bracket, and the distance between the two CCD cameras is equal to the distance between two adjacent clamping stations.

[0018] Using two CCD cameras simultaneously to inspect the clamping station helps improve inspection efficiency.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The feeding device moves the data cable to the clamping device for clamping, and then slides the CCD camera on the X-axis rail so that the CCD camera is facing one of the clamping stations for inspection. After the inspection is completed, the CCD camera moves to the next clamping station for inspection. At this time, the data cable on the clamping station that has been inspected is removed and re-fed. The time that the CCD camera uses to inspect the data cable on the next clamping station is used to unload the data cable on the inspected station and to feed the data cable on that station. This reduces the waiting time of the CCD camera. By reasonably setting up multiple inspection stations, the inspection capability of a single CCD camera can be fully utilized, and the camera can be reused in different stations in a time-sharing manner. This reduces the dependence on multiple expensive CCD cameras and thus effectively controls the cost investment in the data cable quality inspection process. 2. The pneumatic finger moves along the Z-axis, which is perpendicular to the X-axis, causing the data cable to move perpendicular to the X-axis. This allows the part of the data cable to be inspected to be aligned with the CCD camera, enabling the inspection machine to detect data cables of different lengths. Simultaneously, the CCD camera is separately positioned outside the Z-axis in the third direction, which simplifies the CCD camera's drive components and improves the overall rationality of the device setup.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0023] This utility model discloses a data cable testing machine.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 A data cable testing machine includes a frame 1, a feeding device, a clamping device, and a testing device. The clamping device includes multiple clamping stations 2 located on the same straight line. The clamping stations 2 are rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The testing device includes an X-axis rail 4 and a CCD camera 5. The length direction of the X-axis rail 4 is consistent with the distribution direction of the multiple clamping stations 2.

[0025] The feeding device moves the data cable 3 to the clamping device for clamping, and then slides the CCD camera 5 on the X-axis rail 4 so that the CCD camera 5 is facing one of the clamping stations 2 for inspection. After the inspection is completed, the CCD camera 5 moves to the next clamping station 2 for inspection. At this time, the data cable 3 on the clamping station 2 that has been inspected is removed and re-fed. The time that the CCD camera 5 uses to inspect the data cable 3 on the next clamping station 2 is used to unload the data cable 3 on the inspected station and to feed the data cable 3 on the station. This reduces the waiting time of the CCD camera 5. By reasonably setting up multiple inspection stations, the inspection capability of a single CCD camera can be fully utilized, and the camera can be reused in different stations in a time-sharing manner. This reduces the dependence on multiple expensive CCD cameras and thus effectively controls the cost investment in the quality inspection of the data cable 3.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the X-axis rail 4 is provided with two parallel tracks, and the CCD camera slides on both tracks simultaneously.

[0027] The CCD camera 5 slides by being constrained by two tracks, which enhances the connection stability between the CCD camera and the X-axis track 4, helps protect the CCD camera 5, and makes the imaging of the CCD camera 5 more stable, which helps reduce the shaking of the CCD camera 5 and improves the accuracy of detection.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the frame 1 is also provided with a Y-axis rail 6, which is vertically arranged. The Y-axis rail 6 allows the CCD camera 5 to slide to a position close to or away from the clamping station 2. The Y-axis rail 6 is slidably connected to the X-axis rail 4, and the CCD camera is connected to the X-axis rail 4 through the Y-axis rail 6.

[0029] The CCD camera 5 slides on the Y-axis rail 6, which can adjust the focal length of the CCD camera 5, so that the CCD can focus more accurately on the detected position of the data line 3, which helps to improve the accuracy of detection.

[0030] Reference Figure 1In this embodiment, the clamping station 2 includes a pneumatic finger 21 for clamping the data cable 3.

[0031] When inflating, the pneumatic finger 21 clamps the data cable 3; when deflating, the pneumatic finger 21 releases the data cable 3. By clamping the data cable 3 with the pneumatic finger 21, it is less likely to cause wear on the outer layer of the data cable 3, which helps to protect the data cable 3.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the clamping station 2 includes a rotary cylinder for driving the pneumatic finger 21 to rotate, and the rotary cylinder is located inside the frame 1.

[0033] The rotary cylinder drives the data cable 3 to rotate, enabling the CCD camera 5 to detect different angles of the data cable 3, thus making the detection of the data cable 3 more comprehensive.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the frame 1 is also provided with a Z-axis rail 7, and the pneumatic finger 21 is slidably connected to the Z-axis rail 7. The Z-axis rail 7 is perpendicular to the X-axis rail 4 and the Y-axis rail 6.

[0035] The pneumatic finger 21 moves on the Z-axis rail 7, which is perpendicular to the X-axis rail 4, causing the data cable 3 to move perpendicular to the X-axis rail 4. This allows the part of the data cable 3 to be inspected to be aligned with the CCD camera 5, enabling the inspection machine to inspect data cables 3 of different lengths. Simultaneously, the CCD camera 5 is separately positioned outside the Z-axis in the third direction, which simplifies the drive components of the CCD camera 5 and improves the overall rationality of the device setup.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, two CCD cameras 5 are provided, and a bracket 8 is slidably connected to the Y-axis rail 6. The two CCD cameras 5 are arranged along the length direction of the bracket 8, and the distance between the two CCD cameras 5 is equal to the distance between two adjacent clamping stations 2.

[0037] Two CCD cameras 5 can simultaneously inspect the clamping station 2, which helps to improve the inspection efficiency.

[0038] The CCD camera 5 can be driven by a cylinder, a motor, or a lead screw and slider structure. The pneumatic finger 21 can also be driven by a cylinder, a motor, or a lead screw and slider structure.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
