Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable external processing, in particular to a cable stripping device and a stripping method. Background Art
[0002] As a carrier for power transmission and information transmission, cables are usually composed of multiple parts such as internal conductors, insulation layers, semi-conductive layers and outer sheaths. Among them, the outer semi-conductive layer is located outside the insulation layer. Its main function is to evenly distribute the electric field and avoid local electric field concentration on the surface of the insulation layer, thereby reducing the risk of local discharge and insulation breakdown in the cable and ensuring the safety and stability of the cable during long-term operation. However, when it is necessary to install or splice cables to extend or branch power lines or connect communication networks, cable joints must be prepared. As a key component for connecting two sections of cable, the performance of cable joints is directly related to the reliability and service life of the entire cable system. In order to prepare high-quality cable joints, the process of stripping the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable is indispensable.
[0003] Currently, traditional cable stripping is primarily performed manually by specialized technicians using cable stripping knives or glass sheets. This manual operation is inefficient, requiring the worker to focus fully and precisely control the force and angle of each cut to ensure the outer semi-conductive layer is removed without damaging the inner insulation and conductors. This results in lengthy processing times for large-scale cable stripping tasks, significantly impacting project progress, increasing labor intensity and the risk of scratches. Traditional cable stripping devices also suffer from low stripping accuracy, making it impossible to monitor the stripping results in real time and perform corrections. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Based on the above cable stripping device, the present invention also provides a stripping method for stripping the outer semiconductive layer of a cable, which comprises the following steps:
[0015] Step S1: using the preparation standard of standard voltage grade cable as the limit position, setting the stripping depth and resetting the components in the cable stripping device;
[0016] Step S2: Pass the cable through the clamping mechanism, the tool mechanism, and the visual system mechanism, and clamp and fix the cable by the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly;
[0017] Step S3: starting the first drive assembly, causing the cutter to move in the radial direction of the cable, starting the transmission motor, causing the cutter mechanism to peel the cable in the axial direction, and returning to its initial position when the axial peeling is completed.
[0018] Step S4: Start the second drive assembly to drive the cutter to rotate in steps of 3° along the circumference of the cable, and return to step S3 until the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable is stripped to the desired depth in both the axial and circumferential directions.

This circumferential rotation design ensures uniform force on the outer semi-conductive layer during the stripping process, preventing localized over- or under-stripping, further improving stripping accuracy and enabling precise circumferential rotational stripping. The visual system mechanism, wrapped around the cable's periphery, detects the cable's stripping status in real time and from all angles. The visual system mechanism is electrically connected to the transmission mechanism and intelligently controls the movement of the tool mechanism based on the detected stripping status. If stripping is found to be incomplete, the tool mechanism's axial, radial, or circumferential movement can be automatically adjusted to continue the stripping operation. If potential damage to the cable core is detected, further tool movement can be stopped promptly to avoid further damage. This control method effectively improves the efficiency and precision of stripping the cable's semi-conductive layer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention preferably provides a cable stripping device, which includes a base 10, a clamping mechanism 20, a tool mechanism 30, a transmission mechanism 40 and a visual system mechanism 50. A slide rail 11 extending in the horizontal direction is provided above the base 10; the clamping mechanism 20 is provided above the base 10, and the clamping mechanism 20 includes a first clamping component 21 and a second clamping component 22. The first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 22 are respectively provided at both ends of the base 10, the first clamping component 21 is used to clamp the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable 60, and the second clamping component 22 is used to clamp the core of the cable 60; the tool mechanism 30 is slidably provided on the slide rail 11, and the tool mechanism 30 includes a tool part 31, a first drive component 32 and a second drive component 33. 3. The tool member 31 is arranged above the cable 60, and the first drive component 32 is connected to one end of the tool member 31. The first drive component 32 drives the tool member 31 to move radially along the cable 60 to control the stripping depth of the tool member 31. The second drive component 33 is connected to the other end of the tool member 31. The second drive component 33 drives the tool member 31 to rotate circumferentially along the cable 60; the transmission mechanism 40 is fixed above the base 10, and the transmission mechanism 40 is used to drive the tool mechanism 30 to move axially along the cable 60; the visual system mechanism 50 is arranged around the outer circumference of the cable 60, and the visual system mechanism 50 is electrically connected to the transmission mechanism 40, and the visual system mechanism 50 is used to detect the stripping condition of the cable 60 and control the movement of the tool mechanism 30.
[0037] Based on the above technical features, the embodiment of the present invention provides stable support through the base 10, the slide rail 11 provides precise guidance for the movement of the tool mechanism 30, and the clamping mechanism 20 firmly clamps the cable 60 to ensure that the cable 60 will not shake or move during the stripping process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire stripping process; the first drive component 32 drives the tool part 31 to move radially along the cable 60, and can accurately control the stripping depth of the tool part 31. Cables 60 of different specifications and different stripping requirements have different standards for the stripping depth. This device can be precisely adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the stripping process will not damage the cable 60 core or incomplete stripping, greatly improving the stripping quality and achieving precise control of the stripping depth; the second drive component 33 drives the tool part 31 to rotate circumferentially along the cable 60, so that the tool can perform uniform and comprehensive stripping operations around the cable 60. This circumferential rotation design can ensure that the outer semi-conductive layer is evenly stressed during the stripping process, avoiding local excessive or insufficient stripping, further improving the stripping accuracy, and realizing circumferential rotation precise stripping; the visual system mechanism 50 is arranged around the outer periphery of the cable 60, and can detect the stripping status of the cable 60 in real time and in all directions. The visual system mechanism 50 is electrically connected to the transmission mechanism 40, and can intelligently control the movement of the tool mechanism 30 according to the detected stripping status. This control method effectively improves the stripping efficiency and stripping accuracy of the semi-conductive layer of the cable 60.
[0038] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first clamping assembly 21 includes a first slider 211 and an adjustment screw 212. The first slider 211 is mounted outside the guide rail 11 and is slidably connected to the guide rail 11. The adjustment screw 212 is located on one side of the first slider 211 to limit the displacement of the first slider 211. The first clamping assembly 21 can be moved along the length of the guide rail via the first slider 211 to clamp cables 60 of varying lengths. One end of the second clamping assembly 22 is fixedly connected to the base 10. The first slider 211 of the first clamping assembly 21 is mounted outside the guide rail 11 and is slidably connected to the guide rail 11, allowing the first clamping assembly 21 to move along the length of the guide rail. When handling longer cables 60, the first clamping assembly 21 can be moved along the guide rail 11 to a suitable position, ensuring stable clamping of both ends of the cable 60 and avoiding issues with ineffective securing due to excessive length. The adjustment screw 212 is located on one side of the first slider 211 to limit its displacement. After the first clamping assembly 21 is moved to a suitable position, the first slider 211 can be firmly fixed to the slide rail 11 by tightening the adjusting screw 212, thereby preventing the first clamping assembly 21 from moving during the stripping process, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the clamping.
[0039] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first clamping assembly 21 includes a first clamp 213, a first lifting rod 214, and a first wrench 215. There are two first clamps 213, each of which is symmetrically arranged along the vertical direction. Each first clamp 213 is located near one end face of the cable 60 and has a V-shaped structure. Each first clamp 213 is also provided with a rubber layer on the end face near the cable 60. The first lifting rod 214 is arranged on the outer periphery of the first clamp 213, and the first wrench 215 is arranged above the first lifting rod 214 to drive the first lifting rod 214 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby controlling the clamping size of the two first clamps 213. Each first clamp 213 has a V-shaped structure on the end face near the cable 60. The V-shaped structure has a self-centering function. Regardless of the diameter of the cable 60, when placed between the two first clamps 213, the cable 60 will naturally contact the two sides of the V-shaped structure and gradually move to the bottom of the V-shaped structure to achieve automatic centering. This characteristic enables the clamping assembly to better adapt to cables 60 of different diameters, ensuring that the cable 60 is always in a stable position during the clamping process, and reducing the problem of unstable clamping caused by the position deviation of the cable 60. The rubber layer provided on the end face of the V-shaped structure further enhances the stability of the clamping. The rubber layer has good elasticity and friction. When clamping the cable 60, it can act as a buffer and avoid damage to the surface of the cable 60 due to excessive clamping force. At the same time, the friction between the rubber layer and the cable 60 can effectively prevent the cable 60 from sliding during the stripping process, thereby improving the reliability of the clamping.
[0040] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 3As shown, the second clamping assembly 22 includes a second clamp 221, a second lifting rod 222, a second wrench piece 223 and a position sensor 224. There are two second clamps 221, and the second clamps 221 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction. Each second clamp 221 is close to one end face of the cable 60 and has a V-shaped structure. In addition, a rubber layer is provided on one end face of each second clamp 221 close to the cable 60. The second lifting rod 222 is provided on the outer periphery of the second clamp 221. The second wrench piece 223 is provided above the second lifting rod 222 to drive the second lifting rod 222 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby controlling the clamping size of the two second clamps 221. The position sensor 224 is provided above the second clamp 221 for measuring the position of the first clamp 213 assembly. The two second clamps 221 are symmetrically arranged along the vertical direction. The second lever 223 drives the second lifting rod 222 to rise and fall to control the clamping size, so that the second clamping assembly 22 can flexibly adapt to the cable 60 wire cores of different diameters, thereby improving the versatility and applicability of the device. The second lever 223 is used to drive the second lifting rod 222 to adjust the clamping size. The operator does not need complex tools and tedious steps. Only the second lever 223 needs to be rotated to quickly adjust the distance between the two second clamps 221 to adapt to the cable 60 wire cores of different specifications. This convenient operation method improves work efficiency, reduces the requirements for the operator's skill level, and is convenient for promotion and application in actual production. By measuring the position of the first clamping assembly 21, the position sensor 224 can feed back information to the control module, and the control module adjusts the action of the second clamping assembly 22 based on this information to ensure that the clamping position and action of the two clamping assemblies on the cable 60 are coordinated.
[0041] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the cutter element 31 is detachably connected to the first drive assembly 32. The second drive assembly 33 includes a ring gear 331, a gear 332, and a rotary motor 333. One end of the ring gear 331 is connected to the first drive assembly 32, and the other end of the ring gear 331 meshes with the gear 332. The rotary motor 333 is connected to the gear 332, driving the gear 332 to rotate, thereby driving the ring gear 331 to rotate. The rotation of the ring gear 331 drives the cutter element 31 on the first drive assembly 32 to rotate along the circumference of the cable 60. The cutter element 31 is detachably connected to the first drive assembly 32. When the cutter element 31 becomes worn or damaged, or needs to be replaced with a cutter of a different specification to meet different stripping requirements, the operator can quickly and conveniently remove the cutter element 31 from the first drive assembly 32 and install a new cutter element 31. This significantly reduces equipment downtime, reduces production delays caused by cutter problems, and also reduces maintenance costs because the entire drive assembly does not need to be complicated to repair or replace. The second drive assembly 33 includes a ring gear 331, a gear 332, and a rotary motor 333. One end of the ring gear 331 is connected to the first drive assembly 32, and the other end meshes with the gear 332. This gear transmission method offers a stable transmission ratio and high transmission precision, ensuring that the power output by the rotary motor 333 is accurately transmitted to the ring gear 331, thereby driving the tool 31 on the first drive assembly 32 to precisely rotate along the circumference of the cable 60.
[0042] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the transmission mechanism 40 includes a second slider 41, which is slidably arranged on the outer periphery of the slide rail 11, and the second slider 41 is fixedly connected to the tool mechanism 30 and the vision system mechanism 50 respectively. The second slider 41 drives the tool mechanism 30 and the vision system mechanism 50 to move along the axial direction of the cable 60. The second slider 41 is fixedly connected to the tool mechanism 30 and the vision system mechanism 50 respectively, so that the tool mechanism 30 and the vision system mechanism 50 can achieve synchronous movement along the axial direction of the cable 60 through the sliding of the second slider 41 on the slide rail 11. During the stripping process of the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable 60, while the tool mechanism 30 is performing the stripping operation, the vision system mechanism 50 can follow the movement trajectory of the tool mechanism 30 in real time and perform synchronous detection of the stripping situation. This synchronous movement method ensures the continuity of the stripping operation and the detection operation, avoids the detection lag or missed detection problem caused by the asynchronous movement of the two, and improves the efficiency and quality of the entire stripping process.
[0043] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the transmission mechanism 40 also includes a transmission motor 42 and a ball screw. One end of the ball screw is connected to the transmission motor 42, and the other end is connected to the second slider 41. The transmission motor 42 drives the ball screw to rotate, and the ball screw is used to convert rotational motion into linear motion, thereby driving the second slider 41 to move axially along the cable 60. The ball screw can accurately convert the rotational motion of the transmission motor 42 into linear motion. Its high transmission accuracy ensures that the second slider 41 moves axially along the cable 60 with extremely high positional accuracy. During the stripping process of the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable 60, precise linear motion control enables the tool mechanism 30 and the vision system mechanism 50 to accurately reach the designated position, ensuring the accuracy of the stripping and inspection operations and reducing stripping failures or inspection errors caused by position deviations.
[0044] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the visual system mechanism 50 includes a main frame 51, a visual module 52, a light source 53, and a control module. The main frame 51 has an annular structure and is arranged along the circumference of the cable 60. The number of visual modules 52 and light sources 53 is at least three, and multiple visual modules 52 and light sources 53 are arranged in a staggered manner on the inner wall of the main frame 51. The control module is electrically connected to the visual module 52 to detect the stripping status of the cable 60. The control module is also electrically connected to the transmission mechanism 40. The main frame 51 has an annular structure and is arranged along the circumference of the cable 60. The multiple visual modules 52 and light sources 53 are arranged in a staggered manner on the inner wall of the main frame 51. This layout enables the visual system mechanism 50 to inspect the cable 60 from all directions, avoiding blind spots caused by a single inspection angle. Regardless of where the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable 60 exhibits stripping anomalies, such as incomplete stripping, residue, or damage, the visual module 52 can capture these anomalies, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of the stripping status of the cable 60. Multiple light source elements 53 are arranged at intervals and staggered to provide sufficient and uniform lighting conditions for the visual module 52. Uniform lighting can reduce shadows and reflections, making the details on the surface of the cable 60 more clearly visible, and improving the quality and contrast of the image. This is crucial for the visual module 52 to accurately identify the stripping status of the cable 60, and helps to detect minor defects or anomalies. The control module is electrically connected to the visual module 52, and can obtain in real time the images and data of the stripping status of the cable 60 collected by the visual module 52. Through rapid analysis and processing of this information, the control module can promptly understand the progress and quality of the stripping operation, providing a basis for subsequent control decisions. The control module is electrically connected to the transmission mechanism 40, and can adjust the motion parameters of the transmission mechanism 40 in real time according to the stripping status obtained by the visual system.
[0045] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, a universal wheel 12 is provided at one end of the base 10 away from the slide rail 11. There are multiple universal wheels 12, and multiple universal wheels 12 are arranged at intervals on the base 10 to facilitate the operator to adjust the position of the device. The presence of the universal wheel 12 allows the operator to easily push the device to move on the horizontal ground. In a production environment or workplace, it may be necessary to move the device from one position to another according to different production tasks, equipment layout adjustments or maintenance needs. With the universal wheel 12, the operator does not need to rely on large lifting equipment or consume a lot of manpower. Only a small thrust is required to quickly and conveniently change the position of the device, which greatly improves work efficiency.
[0046] As some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention further provides a stripping method for stripping an outer semiconductive layer of a cable, comprising the following steps:
[0047] Step S1: Using the preparation standards for standard voltage-rated cables 60 as a guide, the stripping depth is set and the components of the cable stripping device are reset. Cables 60 of different voltage levels require different treatments for the insulation and semiconducting layers. Setting the depth based on the standard ensures that the stripped cable 60 meets quality requirements. Simultaneously, the device components are reset to prepare for subsequent stripping operations, preventing improper initial component positioning from impacting stripping accuracy and effectiveness. This ensures standardized and regular stripping operations, improves stripping quality consistency, and reduces unsatisfactory stripping results due to arbitrary settings.
[0048] Step S2: Pass the cable 60 through the clamping mechanism 20, the tool mechanism 30 and the visual system mechanism 50, and clamp and fix the cable 60 through the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 22; stably fix the cable 60, providing a basis for subsequent precise stripping, avoiding stripping deviation caused by the movement of the cable 60, and improving the success rate and quality of stripping.
[0049] Step S3: Activate the first drive assembly 32, causing the cutter 31 to move radially along the cable 60. The drive motor 42 is activated, causing the cutter mechanism 30 to peel the cable 60 axially. When the cutter mechanism 30 completes the axial peeling, it returns to its initial position, preparing for the next operation or subsequent circumferential peeling. This ensures accurate axial peeling of the outer semiconductive layer of the cable 60. The radial feed control ensures the required peeling depth, while the axial movement ensures continuity and integrity of the peeling process.
[0050] Step S4, start the second drive assembly 33, drive the tool part 31 to rotate step by step along the circumference of the cable 60 in increments of 3°, and return to execute step S3 until the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable 60 completes the axial and circumferential stripping depth; circumferential stripping is achieved in a step-by-step rotation manner, which can ensure that the stripping process is uniform and thorough, avoids the problem of insufficient local stripping or damage to the wire core due to one-time circumferential stripping, and improves the stripping quality and safety.
[0051] In step S5, the various mechanisms of the equipment are reset, and the drive motor 42 is activated to drive the vision system mechanism 50 to inspect the stripping condition along the entire circumference of the cable 60. The inspection results are fed back to the tool mechanism 30 via the host computer, and corrections are made to the stripping of the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable 60. This detection and correction mechanism can promptly identify and resolve problems in the stripping process, further improving stripping quality, reducing the number of defective products, and lowering production costs.
[0052] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a cable stripping device and stripping method, which have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: the base 10 provides stable support, the slide rail 11 provides precise guidance for the movement of the tool mechanism 30, and the clamping mechanism 20 firmly clamps the cable 60 to ensure that the cable 60 does not shake or shift during the stripping process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire stripping process; the first drive component 32 drives the tool part 31 to move radially along the cable 60, and can accurately control the stripping depth of the tool part 31. Cables 60 of different specifications and different stripping requirements have different standards for the stripping depth. This device can be precisely adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the stripping process will not damage the cable 60 core or incomplete stripping, greatly improving the stripping quality and achieving precise control of the stripping depth; the second drive component 33 drives the tool part 31 to rotate circumferentially along the cable 60, so that the tool can perform uniform and comprehensive stripping operations around the cable 60. This circumferential rotation design ensures uniform force on the outer semi-conductive layer during the stripping process, preventing localized over- or under-stripping, further improving stripping accuracy and enabling precise circumferential rotational stripping. The visual system mechanism 50, disposed around the outer circumference of the cable 60, is capable of real-time, all-around detection of the stripping status of the cable 60. The visual system mechanism 50 is electrically connected to the transmission mechanism 40 and, based on the detected stripping status, intelligently controls the movement of the tool mechanism 30. If incomplete stripping is detected, the axial, radial, or circumferential movement of the tool mechanism 30 can be automatically adjusted to continue the stripping operation. If potential damage to the core is detected, further tool movement can be promptly stopped to avoid further damage. This control method effectively improves the efficiency and precision of stripping the semi-conductive layer of the cable 60.
[0053] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
