[0026] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0027] Example 1 This embodiment provides a braided copper wire testing fixture, as shown in the attached document. Figures 1-8 As shown, it includes: Workbench 11 is placed on the ground.

[0028] The bracket 12 is fixed to the top surface of the workbench 11. This fixing can be achieved by welding or bolting. The bracket 12 includes a first support area 121, a hollow area 122, and a second support area 123. The hollow area 122 is located between the first support area 121 and the second support area 123. The first support area 121 has a first support surface 1211, and the second support area 123 has a second support surface 1231. The first support surface 1211 and the second support surface 1231 are coplanar and located on the same horizontal plane. The hollow area 122 cuts off the connection between the two support surfaces, meaning the first support surface 1211 and the second support surface 1231 are disconnected.

[0029] Synchronous belt 13, which is racetrack-shaped, moves clockwise in this embodiment, creating a movement effect relative to the worktable 11. The power for the movement of synchronous belt 13 comes from the first drive source 131, which drives the synchronous belt 13. The first drive source 131 can be a motor or other drive structure. The upper portion of synchronous belt 13 abuts against the first support surface 1211 and the second support surface 1231, while the lower portion is located below them. The two ends of synchronous belt 13 connect the upper and lower portions, which are parallel to each other. Therefore, synchronous belt 13 as a whole forms a racetrack-shaped structure. The synchronous belt 13 is provided with several positioning grooves 132 that mate with the braided copper wires 14. Each positioning groove 132 corresponds to one braided copper wire 14. The width of the positioning groove 132 is adapted to the width of the braided copper wire 14, forming an extension of the braided copper wire 14 in the length direction. It can also be limited by upper limits in the length direction of the braided copper wire 14, or by both the length and width directions of the braided copper wire 14. The size of the positioning groove 132 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the width of the positioning groove 132 is adapted to the width of the braided copper wire 14, and the length direction of the positioning groove 132 is open to accommodate braided copper wires 14 of different lengths and to meet the requirements for detecting braided copper wires 14 of different specifications.

[0030] The first sensor 15 is located on the side of the synchronous belt 13. The first sensor 15 detects whether the positioning slot 132 is fixed with braided copper wire 14. Here, the first sensor 15 is fixed to the top surface of the worktable 11. That is, when the synchronous belt 13 moves relative to the first sensor 15, and the braided copper wire 14 moves into the detection range of the first sensor 15, the first sensor 15 can detect the braided copper wire 14 and generate a signal to the control mechanism. The first sensor 15 can be an infrared sensor, a photoelectric sensor, or a fiber optic sensor; those skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual needs.

[0031] The CCD detection component is located above the cutout area 122. When the braided copper wire 14 moves into the cutout area 122, the CCD detection component captures an image of the braided copper wire 14 located within the positioning groove 132. The data captured by the CCD detection component is then transmitted to the control mechanism. The CCD detection component captures an image of the portion of the synchronization belt 13 located within the cutout area 122. At this time, the bracket 12 does not interfere with the data acquired during the image capture.

[0032] The control mechanism, when the first sensor 15 detects the presence of braided copper wire 14, generates a signal to the control mechanism. The control mechanism then controls the CCD detection component to capture an image. The data captured by the CCD detection component is then transmitted to the control mechanism. The control mechanism compares and analyzes the data captured by the CCD detection component to determine whether the braided copper wire 14 is qualified. Specifically, the control mechanism compares and analyzes the length of the braided copper wire 14. In addition, the control mechanism can also analyze the color of the braided copper wire 14 (when solder is applied to the braided copper wire 14, the color of the solder is different from the color of the braided copper wire 14, thus detecting the presence or absence of solder).

[0033] The clamping assembly includes a clamping claw 16 that clamps the braided copper wire 14.

[0034] When the control mechanism detects that the braided copper wire 14 is defective, it controls the clamping claw 16 to clamp the braided copper wire 14 and place it into the waste discharge box 17. The waste discharge box 17 is located on the top surface of the workbench 11.

[0035] The braided copper wire 14 is fed from the left end of the synchronous belt 13 into the receiving box 18. The braided copper wire 14 moves to the right end of the synchronous belt 13, where it is detected by the first sensor 15 and the CCD detection component. Upon reaching the right end of the synchronous belt 13, the braided copper wire 14 falls into the receiving box 18. In this embodiment, the receiving box 18 is located on the right side of the workbench 11 and is movable, allowing the operator to adjust its position according to actual needs. When a receiving box 18 is full, the operator can quickly replace it with a new one.

[0036] This structural setup creates a semi-automatic or fully automatic fixture. When the braided copper wire 14 is placed in the positioning slot 132, it moves via the synchronous belt 13. When the first sensor 15 detects the braided copper wire 14, the control mechanism activates the CCD detection component. The control mechanism uses the captured image to determine if the length and other parameters of the braided copper wire 14 are within acceptable limits. If the detection is acceptable, the acceptable braided copper wire 14 continues to move via the synchronous belt 13 until it falls into the receiving box 18 under gravity. Conversely, if the detection is unacceptable, the clamping component clamps the unacceptable braided copper wire 14 and places it into the waste discharge box 17. This type of inspection fixture can significantly improve inspection efficiency.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 4-7As shown, it also includes an auxiliary receiving platform 19, located at the right end of the synchronous belt 13. The auxiliary receiving platform 19 has an inclined surface 191. Under the action of gravity, the braided copper wire 14 falls onto the inclined surface 191 and continues to slide to the receiving box 18. In this embodiment, both the left and right ends of the synchronous belt 13 are arc-shaped structures. That is, when the right end of the synchronous belt 13 moves downward, it generates a centripetal force. Under the combined action of the centripetal force and gravity, the braided copper wire 14 falls onto the inclined surface 191. The auxiliary receiving platform 19 provides a buffering effect, allowing the braided copper wire 14 to be collected more effectively. Alternatively, it can be clamped and unloaded using a clamping device. Here, by using gravity collection, one set of clamping devices can be reduced, thus lowering costs.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 4-7 As shown, it also includes a first fixing frame 20 and a second fixing frame 21, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the auxiliary receiving platform 19. The first fixing frame 20 and the second fixing frame 21 improve the strength of the auxiliary receiving platform 19. Here, the first fixing frame 20 and the second fixing frame 21 also achieve the fixing effect on the right end of the synchronous belt 13.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 4-7 As shown, the CCD detection assembly includes a light source 22 and a camera device 23. The light source 22 is located on both sides of the synchronization belt 13, and the camera device 23 is located above the synchronization belt 13. The light source 22 is used to increase the brightness of the image, and the camera device 23 is used to achieve the desired image quality.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 4-7 As shown, it also includes a first crossbeam 24 and two first columns 25. The first columns 25 are connected and fixed to the worktable 11. Both ends of the first crossbeam 24 are connected to the first columns 25 respectively. The camera device 23 is fixed to the first crossbeam 24. Here, by adjusting the positional relationship between the first crossbeam 24 and the first columns 25, the camera device 23 can be adjusted up and down, that is, the camera device 23 can move relative to the first columns 25. The light source 22 is connected to the first column 25. The camera device 23 and the light source 22 form a fixed effect. Here, the camera device 23 can also be adjusted up and down, and the light source 22 can also be adjusted up and down.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 4-7 As shown, it also includes a fixing member 26, which is connected to the first column 25, and the light source 22 is fixed to the fixing member 26. When the fixing member 26 slides and adjusts along the first column 25, the light source 22 can also be adjusted to the corresponding position.

[0042] Specifically, the light source 22 can be rotated and adjusted left and right. The angle between the light source 22 and the fixing member 26 can be adjusted via an arc-shaped perforation to meet the required lighting angle. Left and right adjustment is achieved through the perforation, allowing for lighting angles from different directions.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 8 As shown, the gripping assembly includes a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism. There are two gripping claws 16, which move along a first direction, specifically the X-axis direction, which is the direction of clockwise movement along the synchronous belt 13, i.e., the direction from the left end to the right end of the synchronous belt 13. The gripping claws 16 can be driven by a finger cylinder 27. The first drive mechanism drives the gripping claws 16 to move along a second direction. The first drive mechanism includes a first sliding plate 28, to which the finger cylinder 27 is fixed. The first sliding plate 28 is driven by a second drive source 29, which can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or other drive mechanism. In this embodiment, the first sliding plate 28 moves along the Z-axis direction. The second drive mechanism drives the clamping claw 16 to move along a third direction. This second drive mechanism includes a second sliding plate 30, a second drive source 29 fixed to the second sliding plate 30, and a third drive source 31 that drives the second sliding plate 30 to slide. The third drive source 31 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or another drive mechanism. In this embodiment, the second sliding plate 30 moves along the Y-axis. The first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to each other. The clamping assembly can slide along different directions to better achieve the clamping and placement effects. That is, the clamping claw 16 moves downwards along the Z-axis, clamping the braided copper wire 14. Then, it moves upwards along the Z-axis and continues along the Y-axis to above the waste discharge box 17. The clamping claw 16 is then released, allowing the defective braided copper wire 14 to be placed into the waste discharge box 17.

[0044] Specifically, there are four clamping claws 16, arranged in pairs, each corresponding to one end of the braided copper wire 14.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 4-7 As shown, a second sensor 32 is provided around the waste discharge box 17. The second sensor 32 detects the number of defective braided copper wires 14. Furthermore, the control mechanism can verify whether the clamping component is working based on the signal detected by the second sensor 32.

[0046] Specifically, the second support area 123 has a first guide surface 1232 on the side facing the hollow area 122. The first guide surface 1232 serves as a guide.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 2-3As shown, it also includes a protective cover 33, which is connected and fixed to the workbench 11. The protective cover 33 includes a first opening 331 and a second opening 332. The first opening 331 is located on the left side of the left end of the synchronous belt 13, and the second opening 332 is located on the right side of the right end of the synchronous belt 13. The protective cover 33 is designed to provide protection. The protective cover 33 can be transparent. The side of the protective cover 33 can be opened, i.e., it has a glass door structure.

[0048] Specifically, the control mechanism can be controlled by a PLC or a microcontroller. In addition, alarm units or other detection sensors can be set (e.g., to detect the number of qualified products).

[0049] Specifically, the feeding of the braided copper wire 14 can be done manually, i.e., the operator places the braided copper wire 14 into different positioning slots 132. Alternatively, the feeding of the braided copper wire 14 can be done using a multi-axis robot, i.e., the movement of a multi-axis robot achieves a fully automated feeding effect. Those skilled in the art can adjust this according to actual needs.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
