[0002] During the cable production process, cables often exhibit appearance defects such as scratches, dents, bulges, dirt, and uneven color. Therefore, visual inspection of these defects is crucial for cable quality control. Traditional cable inspection methods often employ ring light sources. However, because the light-emitting element of a traditional ring light source is located inside the source, the wires connecting to the element need to be routed from inside the source to outside. The cable to be inspected must pass through the center of the ring light source during inspection, which can easily lead to tangling and cross-tangle among the wires. This requires frequent wire management by inspectors, increasing the difficulty of cable inspection and affecting its efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a ring light source for cable appearance inspection. The ring light source for cable appearance inspection includes a base 100, a light-emitting component, and a cooling fan 300. The base 100 is provided with a receiving cavity 101, an opening 102, an arc-shaped groove 103, and a radial groove 104. The cross-section of the base 100 is C-shaped, and the base 100 extends around a vertical axis to form a notch 105. The opening 102, the arc-shaped groove 103, and the radial groove 104 are all located at the top of the base 100. The arc-shaped groove 103 extends around the vertical axis. The radial groove 104 extends in a direction away from the vertical axis and penetrates the inner and outer sides of the base 100. The base 100 has an opening 102 that is connected to the arc groove 103 and the receiving cavity 101. The light-emitting component includes a light-emitting element 200 and a first connecting line. The light-emitting element 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101. The first connecting line is at least partially located in the arc groove 103 and the radial groove 104, and at least partially passes through the opening 102 and is connected to the light-emitting element 200. The diameter of the first connecting line is smaller than the width of the arc groove 103 and the width of the radial groove 104. Multiple cooling fans 300 are provided. Multiple cooling fans 300 are arranged sequentially and spaced around the vertical axis at the top of the base 100 and facing the arc groove 103.

[0026] The base 100 has a C-shaped cross-section and extends around a vertical axis, allowing the cable to be tested to extend from the notch 105 on the side of the base 110 into the inner side of the base 100, reducing the difficulty of threading the cable into the inner side of the base 100. One end of the first connecting wire can pass through the opening 102 and connect to the light-emitting element 200, and at least a portion of the first connecting wire is located in the arc-shaped groove 103, so that the position of the first connecting wire can be defined by the arc-shaped groove 103. A radial groove 104 is provided at the top of the base 100, penetrating the inner and outer sides of the base 110, and the radial groove 104 is connected to the arc-shaped groove 103, allowing the first connecting wire to pass through the radial groove 104 to the outside of the base 110, and through the arc-shaped groove 103 and the radial groove 104. The groove 104 defines the position of the first connecting line to prevent it from crossing or tangling with the cable under test. The cooling fan 300 blows air toward the arc-shaped groove 103. The air flows within the arc-shaped groove 103 and the radial groove 104, and contacts the groove walls of the arc-shaped groove 103 and the radial groove 104 to remove the temperature of the seat 110, thus achieving a heat dissipation effect. By setting the arc-shaped groove 103, the contact area between the flowing air and the seat 110 can be increased, improving the heat dissipation effect. The diameter of the first connecting line is smaller than the width of the arc-shaped groove 103 and the width of the radial groove 104 to avoid the first connecting line blocking the arc-shaped groove 103. This can improve the smoothness of air flow within the arc-shaped groove 103 and the radial groove 104, and ensure the heat dissipation effect.

[0027] Specifically, the bottom of the base 100 is provided with a light-transmitting surface, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 200 in the receiving cavity 101 can be emitted outward from the light-transmitting surface.

[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, a control component is also included; the control component is disposed on the base 100 and electrically connected to the light-emitting element 200 and the plurality of cooling fans 300, and is capable of controlling the opening and closing of the light-emitting element 200 and the plurality of cooling fans 300.

[0029] The light-emitting element 200 can control the opening and closing of the light-emitting element 200. When the light-emitting element 200 is working for a long time, or when the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 200 is high, the controller can control the cooling fan 300 to start to dissipate heat from the base 100.

[0030] Specifically, the control unit can control the operating power of the light-emitting element 200 to control the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 200, thereby controlling the heat dissipated by the light-emitting element 200; the control unit can also control the operating power of the cooling fan 300 to control the speed of the cooling fan 300, thereby controlling the heat dissipation effect of the cooling fan 300; wherein, the higher the operating power of the light-emitting element 200, the higher the operating power of the cooling fan 300, which can prevent the light-emitting element 200 from overheating.

[0032] The cooling fan 300 blows air toward the arc-shaped groove 103 through the fan body 310 to dissipate heat from the base 100. A connecting post 320 is provided between the fan body 310 and the base 100. The connecting post 320 can fix the fan body 310 on the base 100. Furthermore, the connecting post 320 can separate the base 100 and the fan body 310, allowing the air between the fan body 310 and the base 100 to be blown into the arc-shaped groove 103 to increase the air intake.

[0034] The second connecting line is disposed within the arc-shaped groove 103 and the radial groove 104, so that the position of the second connecting line can be defined by the arc-shaped groove 103 and the radial groove 104, so as to avoid cross-entanglement between the second connecting line and the first connecting line and the cable to be tested.

[0035] Specifically, the first connecting line is located in one of the arc-shaped grooves 103, and the second connecting line is located in the other arc-shaped grooves 103, so as to avoid the first connecting line and the second connecting line from crossing and tangling with each other; wherein, specifically, the first connecting line and the second connecting lines of the multiple cooling fans 300 are respectively led out from the multiple radial grooves 104.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the intervals between adjacent arc-shaped grooves 103 are equal, and the intervals between adjacent radial grooves 104 are equal, so as to ensure aesthetics and uniform heat dissipation.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple connecting posts 320 are provided and are spaced apart at the bottom end of the fan body 310.

[0038] By setting multiple connecting posts 320, the stability of the connection can be ensured, and the stability of the fan body 310 can be improved.

[0039] Specifically, there are four connecting posts 320, which are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the base 100.

[0041] The base 110 and the perimeter 120 are arranged vertically. The diffuser plate 130 is connected to the base 110, the perimeter 120, and the base 110. The cross-sections of the base 110, the perimeter 120, and the diffuser plate 130 are all C-shaped, so that after the base 110, the perimeter 120, and the diffuser plate 130 are connected to each other, the base 110, the perimeter 120, and the diffuser plate 130 have through structures at both ends of the vertical perimeter 120.

The light-emitting element 200 is disposed in the first cavity, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 200 can be directed outward from the diffuser plate 130.
