[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a new technical solution: a testing device for conductive slip rings, including a workbench 1: a horizontal bearing platform made of rigid plate with a flat surface, providing a stable installation foundation for the entire device, located at the bottom of the device, placed horizontally on the ground or workshop workbench, the upper surface bearing the main frame 2 and the positioning base 3, which can be fixed to the ground by anchor bolts, and the upper surface is reserved with threaded holes for connection with the positioning base 3 (corresponding to the bolt hole 4 position). Main frame 2: A semi-enclosed cuboid cavity welded from metal plates, including a bottom surface, four vertical sides and a top edge frame. An operation window 10 is opened on the right side. The inner side of the rear wall is reserved for the installation position of the heating module 18. It is vertically fixed to the upper side of the workbench 1 and completely covers the positioning base 3. The bottom surface is in contact with the upper surface of the workbench 1, the sides are perpendicular to the workbench 1, and the top edge is higher than the upper surface of the positioning base 3 (reserving installation space for the transparent dust cover 7). The bottom surface is fixed to the workbench 1 by welding or bolts to form a closed test cavity surrounding the positioning base 3. Positioning base 3: A rectangular flat metal component with a precision-machined upper surface and bolt holes 4 at the four corners. There are two mounting holes for positioning pins 12 on the left side and two threaded grooves 13 symmetrically on the right side. It is located in the center inside the main frame 2, with equal spacing between its edge and the inner wall of the main frame 2. Its upper surface is parallel to the worktable 1. Four countersunk bolts 5 pass through the bolt holes 4 and are connected to the threaded holes on the worktable 1. The bolt heads are flush with the upper surface of the base. Bolt hole 4: Four circular through holes with countersunk steps at the openings, arranged in a rectangular array on the positioning base 3. The center of the hole is a certain distance from the edge of the positioning base 3 (to avoid insufficient edge strength), providing a through channel for the countersunk bolt 5. The positioning base 3 is fixed to the workbench 1 by the bolt. The hole wall is not directly connected to the bolt thread (only serves as a guide). Countersunk bolt 5: Standard countersunk hexagon socket head cap screw, with a head diameter slightly larger than the screw (forming a countersunk structure), and the surface is treated with rust prevention. It is installed vertically in bolt hole 4, with the screw extending into the threaded hole of workbench 1. The head is recessed into the countersunk step of positioning base 3 (flush with the upper surface of the base), and is connected to workbench 1 by threads to rigidly fix positioning base 3. Mounting groove 6: An annular groove with a rectangular cross-section is formed on the inner side of the edge of the transparent dust cover 7. It contains a silicone sealing ring and is distributed around the edge of the transparent dust cover 7. It corresponds to the sealing step surface of the top edge of the main frame 2 (completely fits when closed). The sealing ring is embedded in the mounting groove 6 through an interference fit and forms a seal or separation with the main frame 2 as the dust cover 7 is closed / opened. Transparent dust cover 7: A rectangular cover made of transparent sheet material, with an installation groove 6 on the inner edge. A handle 9 is fixed in the center of the upper surface. The rear edge is connected to the main frame 2 via three hinges 8, covering the top of the main frame 2. When closed, it fits against the top edge of the main frame 2. When open, it can rotate upwards around the hinges 8 (the rotation trajectory does not interfere with the side of the main frame 2). It is rotatably connected to the main frame 2 through the movable leaf of the hinge 8, and can rotate freely around the hinge axis (only when closed does it form a seal with the frame through the sealing ring). Hinges 8: Three sets of metal hinges of the same specifications, each set including a fixed leaf, a movable leaf, and a rotating shaft. The surface is rust-proofed and they are evenly distributed along the rear edge of the top of the main frame 2. The fixed leaf fits against the outer side of the top edge of the main frame 2, and the movable leaf fits against the inner side of the rear edge of the transparent dust cover 7. The rotating shaft is parallel to the top edge of the frame. The fixed leaf is connected to the top edge of the main frame 2 by bolts, and the movable leaf is riveted to the transparent dust cover 7 by rivets. The rotating shaft passes through the fixed leaf and the movable leaf (achieving relative rotation between the two). Handle 9: A U-shaped metal component, fixed to the upper surface of the transparent dust cover 7 by bolts at both ends, with an anti-slip rubber sleeve on the outer surface. It is located in the center of the upper surface of the transparent dust cover 7, slightly forward, and higher than the surface of the dust cover (for easy grip). It is spaced from the hinge 8 (to ensure effortless opening). It is connected to the transparent dust cover 7 by bolts, providing a force point for opening / closing the dust cover. Operation window 10: A circular through hole is opened on the right side of the main frame 2. The inner side of the hole is provided with a stepped sealing surface (to facilitate the sealing of the dust plug 11). The center is located below the vertical center line of the right side of the main frame 2. The horizontal direction is aligned with the slip ring outlet end and control block 17 on the positioning base 3. The height of the lower edge of the hole is consistent with the height of the slip ring outlet. It is an integrally cut and formed structure with the main frame 2. The sealing is achieved by the interference fit of the dust plug 11. Dust plug 11: A stepped plug made of wear-resistant rubber, with a head diameter slightly larger than the operating window 10 (forming a sealing step), and a non-slip protrusion at the tail (for easy insertion and removal). In its natural state, it is embedded in the operating window 10, with the head step fitting against the stepped sealing surface of the window, and the tail protruding from the outside of the main frame 2 (for easy removal). It is connected to the operating window 10 through an interference fit and achieves a seal by relying on the elasticity of the rubber (can be manually inserted and removed). Positioning pin 12: A stepped cylindrical metal pin, with a fixed section at the bottom and a working section at the top. The top is equipped with a tapered guide head. The working section is covered with a plastic sleeve and is vertically fixed to the left side of the positioning base 3. Two positioning pins 12 are symmetrically distributed along the longitudinal axis of the base (the center distance matches the hole spacing of the slip ring mounting hole). The top of the working section is higher than the surface of the positioning base 3. The fixed section is interference-fitted with the mounting hole of the positioning base 3. The bottom is flush with the bottom surface of the base and is fixed by welding. The sleeve is fitted onto the working section through a transition fit (it can slide slightly for easy replacement). Screw groove 13: Two circular grooves are formed on the right side of the positioning base 3. The inner wall of the groove is machined with internal threads. They are symmetrically distributed on the right side of the positioning pin 12 with the longitudinal axis of the positioning base 3 as the axis of symmetry. The center of the groove is a certain distance from the edge of the positioning base 3 (to avoid affecting the strength). It is an integral structure with the positioning base 3 and forms a threaded connection with the threaded rod 14 through the internal threads (to provide guidance and support for the lifting and lowering of the threaded rod 14). Threaded rod 14: A metal screw with an external thread on the lower section (matching the internal thread of the screw groove 13) and a smooth shaft (with a diameter slightly smaller than the threaded section) on the upper section. It is vertically installed in the screw groove 13. The threaded section is completely or partially submerged in the groove, and the smooth shaft section extends upward to above the positioning base 3 (ensuring that the pressure plate 16 has sufficient lifting space). It is connected to the screw groove 13 by threads and can move up and down along the axial direction when rotating. Rotating rod 15: A cylindrical metal rod, the lower end of which is connected to the optical axis section of the threaded rod 14, and the upper end of which is connected to the control block 17. The outer surface of the middle part is fixedly fitted with the pressure plate 16, which is coaxially distributed with the threaded rod 14 and perpendicular to the upper surface of the positioning base 3. The length ensures that the height of the control block 17 is flush with the center of the operating window 10 (to facilitate reaching out and operating from the window). The lower end is fixed to the optical axis section of the threaded rod 14 by welding, and the middle part is connected to the pressure plate 16 by screws (to ensure that the pressure plate 16 is horizontal). The upper end is connected to the control block 17.
[0022] Pressure plate 16: A circular metal plate with a rubber pad attached to its lower surface. A mounting hole matching the rotating rod 15 is opened in the center. It is horizontally fixed to the middle of the rotating rod 15. The lower surface of the rubber pad corresponds to the upper surface of the slip ring on the positioning base 3. There is a certain distance between the center and the edge of the slip ring (to avoid damaging the slip ring's wire outlet end). It is fixed to the rotating rod 15 with screws. The rubber pad is attached to the lower surface of the pressure plate with adhesive. Control block 17: a polygonal prism made of engineering plastic, with a mounting hole in the center that matches the rotating rod 15, and anti-slip texture on the outer surface. It is fixed to the top of the rotating rod 15, and its height is flush with the center of the operating window 10 (so that the operator can reach out and hold it from the window). It is connected to the top of the rotating rod 15 by interference fit or screws (to ensure no relative slippage during rotation) and rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 15.
[0023] Example 1: Basic equipment for a conventional dust workshop Core structure: Based on the workbench 1, the main frame 2 is vertically fixed on it, and the positioning base 3 is set in the center inside (connected to the workbench 1 by countersunk bolts 5); the positioning base 3 has a positioning pin 12 on the left side and a screw-type clamping mechanism consisting of a screw groove 13, a threaded rod 14, a rotating rod 15, a pressure plate 16, and a control block 17 on the right side (the control block 17 is located near the opening side of the transparent dust cover 7 for easy operation after opening the cover); the top of the main frame 2 is connected to the transparent dust cover 7 (with mounting groove 6 and sealing ring) by a hinge 8, and the right side is provided with an operation window 10 and a dust plug 11 (mainly used for testing cable connection).
[0024] Operating Procedure: Hold handle 9 to open transparent dust cover 7, and place the slip ring into positioning pin 12 to complete positioning; reach directly above positioning base 3, rotate control block 17 to drive pressure plate 16 down through threaded rod 14 until rubber pad presses against slip ring surface; close transparent dust cover 7 (sealing ring fits against top of main frame 2 to form a seal), open dust plug 11 of operation window 10, and connect test cable through window; set instrument parameters to test 8 channels; after test, open transparent dust cover 7, rotate control block 17 in reverse to release pressure plate 16, remove slip ring and reset dust plug 11. Applicable scenarios: Moderate dust concentration in workshops. The open-cover operation allows for intuitive placement and clamping of slip rings, reducing the need for frequent hand insertion through the operation window and improving the efficiency of single-unit testing (15% shorter than the original process). It is suitable for routine industrial automation slip ring factory testing with a daily sampling volume of 30-50 units. Even after the dust cover is closed, IP54 protection is still achieved through the sealing ring and dust plug.
[0025] Example 2: Special device for high-dust workshops (large window + silicone dustproof structure) Structural adjustment: according to Figure 4 As shown, the workbench 1, main frame 2, positioning base 3 and screw clamping mechanism of the basic device are retained. The size of the operation window 10 is enlarged (to facilitate the hand to reach into the operation control block 17). The original dust plug 11 is replaced with a soft silicone pad fixed inside the operation window 10. A cross-shaped opening is opened in the center of the silicone pad (which closes naturally when not in use). Operating procedure: After the slip ring is positioned, the hand is inserted into the main frame 2 through the cross opening of the silicone pad. The control block 17 is rotated to make the pressure plate 16 press the slip ring (the silicone pad conforms to the arm with the hand movement, forming a dynamic seal); after connecting the cable, the hand is withdrawn and the cross opening closes automatically; during the test, the silicone pad continuously blocks external dust from entering. After the test is completed, the procedure is reversed. Applicable scenarios: High dust environments such as grinding workshops. The enlarged operating window 10 is suitable for direct hand operation of the clamping mechanism. The cross opening of the silicone pad ensures operational flexibility and achieves zero dust intrusion through material elasticity. Compared with the basic device, the amount of internal dust accumulation is reduced by 90%, ensuring the accuracy of contact resistance measurement.
[0026] Example 3: Temperature control device for high-temperature workshops Structural replacement: based on Figure 5 As shown, a heating module (including heating element and temperature sensor) is added to the rear wall of the main frame 2, the sealing surface of the operation window 10 is replaced with a high-temperature resistant silicone sealing ring, and the sealing ring in the mounting groove 6 of the transparent dust cover 7 is upgraded to a heat-resistant material; the core structure of the worktable 1, positioning base 3, positioning pin 12 and screw-type clamping mechanism is retained. Operating Procedure: Start the heating module to stabilize the internal temperature of the main frame 2 at 40±2℃. After the slip ring is positioned, operate the control block 17 through the operation window 10 (the high-temperature resistant sealing ring ensures sealing at high temperatures) to press the slip ring. Close the transparent dust cover 7 and the high-temperature sealing ring to prevent heat leakage and external dust from entering. Test the resistance of the 8-channel circuit in a constant temperature environment to avoid the influence of temperature fluctuations on the metal resistance. After the test is completed, turn off the heating module and remove the slip ring according to the normal procedure. Applicable scenarios: High-temperature workshops in summer (ambient temperature above 35℃) or tropical regions. By controlling the temperature, the test environment is made consistent with the actual working temperature of the slip ring. The repeatability of the 8-channel resistance measurement is improved to ±0.03mΩ, and the accuracy of the pass / fail judgment is improved by 15%. It is suitable for the factory sampling inspection of precision industrial slip rings.
