Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cable processing technology, and in particular to a cable processing system and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of cable processing, to ensure that the electrical performance, mechanical strength, and shielding effect of the connectors used to connect cables meet stringent industrial standards, it is necessary to strip, cut, and comb the components including terminals, the inner sheath covering the terminals, the shielding wire covering the inner sheath, and the outer sheath covering the shielding wire. The purpose is to accurately expose the different functional layers inside the cable (conductor, insulation layer, and shielding layer), thereby preparing a clean and structurally complete connection interface that meets the size requirements for subsequent key processes (such as terminal crimping and shield crimping). This allows the metal terminals to achieve a strong mechanical bond and low-resistance electrical connection with the conductors in the connector during crimping, while also enabling the shielding wire to be effectively crimped with the metal ring in the connector, forming a complete electromagnetic shielding path.

[0003] However, in the current cable processing process, from moving and positioning the cable, stripping the outer sheath, precisely cutting and combing the shielding wire, to pre-forming and stamping the shielding wire and finally peeling off the inner sheath, each step is highly dependent on manual operation. This highly manual method of cable processing has the following drawbacks: (1) The stability and repeatability of manual operation are difficult to guarantee. It is very easy to cause inconsistencies in the exposure length, cut flatness and combing shape of each functional layer (especially the fine shielding layer) due to individual differences, fatigue or skill level fluctuations, which cannot meet the stringent dimensional tolerance requirements; (2) The operation efficiency is low and cannot adapt to the pace of large-scale production, becoming a bottleneck of production capacity; (3) In the shielding wire processing stage, manual combing is difficult to ensure that all shielding wires are uniformly and tightly formed into the preset shape (such as ring or bundle), while manual stamping or preforming is not accurate in terms of force and position control, which can easily cause damage, loosening or deformation of the shielding wires. This directly weakens the contact integrity and mechanical strength when pressing with the metal ring, which may lead to increased contact resistance, decreased shielding effectiveness or even connection failure; (4) Manual processing also has a high risk of personal safety (such as being scratched by knives or sharp shielding wires) and quality hazards, making it difficult to reliably guarantee the electrical performance, mechanical strength and shielding effect of the final product, increasing the cost of quality control and after-sales risks.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fully automated cable handling system that can avoid the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0019] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0020] For the description of this application, non-limiting terms are used. Figure 7 The labels “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” shown are used to facilitate understanding of this embodiment and are not intended to limit this application.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] As described in the background section, the entire cable processing process, from cable movement and positioning, outer sheath removal, precise cutting and combing of shielding wire, to pre-forming and stamping of shielding wire and final inner sheath peeling, is highly dependent on manual operation at each stage. This highly manual method of cable processing has the following drawbacks: (1) The stability and repeatability of manual operation are difficult to guarantee. It is very easy to cause inconsistencies in the exposure length, cut flatness and combing shape of each functional layer (especially the fine shielding layer) due to individual differences, fatigue or skill level fluctuations, which cannot meet the stringent dimensional tolerance requirements; (2) The operation efficiency is low and cannot adapt to the pace of large-scale production, becoming a bottleneck of production capacity; (3) In the shielding wire processing stage, manual combing is difficult to ensure that all shielding wires are uniformly and tightly formed into the preset shape (such as ring or bundle), while manual stamping or preforming is not accurate in terms of force and position control, which can easily cause damage, loosening or deformation of the shielding wires. This directly weakens the contact integrity and mechanical strength when pressing with the metal ring, which may lead to increased contact resistance, decreased shielding effectiveness or even connection failure; (4) Manual processing also has a high risk of personal safety (such as being scratched by knives or sharp shielding wires) and quality hazards, making it difficult to reliably guarantee the electrical performance, mechanical strength and shielding effect of the final product, increasing the cost of quality control and after-sales risks.

[0023] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a fully automated processing solution. In this solution, a fully automated processing system is constructed by integrating cable moving, cutting, combing, and stamping devices. The fully automated operation significantly improves cable processing efficiency and completely eliminates the safety risks associated with manual operation. At the same time, it enhances the consistency, reliability, and quality of the cable processing process, while reducing quality control costs and after-sales costs.

[0024] This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] According to one embodiment of this application, a cable handling system 100 is provided, such as... Figure 1As shown, the system includes: a cable moving device 10, a cable cutting device 20, a cable combing device 30, and a cable stamping device 40, wherein: the cable moving device 10 and the cable cutting device 20 are spaced apart and used to move the cable into or out of the cable cutting device 20; the cable cutting device 20 is movably connected to the cable combing device 30, and the cable cutting device 20 is also connected to the cable stamping device 40; when the cable moving device 10 moves the cable to the first target position, the cable combing device 30 moves to the first target position to comb the shielding wire of the cable; when the cable moving device 10 moves the cable to the second target position, the cable stamping device 40 stamps the shielding wire of the cable.

[0026] Therefore, this application constructs a fully automated processing system by integrating cable movement, cutting, combing, and stamping devices, fundamentally solving the shortcomings of manual operation. Specifically, the system ensures automatic cable movement between workstations through precise mechanical positioning, thereby consistently achieving precise cutting lengths, smooth cuts, and preset combing patterns for each functional layer (especially the shielding layer), strictly meeting stringent tolerance requirements. The automated combing and stamping devices operate with constant force and trajectory, ensuring that the shielding wires are uniformly and tightly combed and pre-formed into ideal shapes (such as rings), avoiding damage, loosening, or deformation of the shielding wires caused by uneven manual operation. This provides an ideal interface with a complete structure and the largest contact area for subsequent firm crimping with the metal ring, thus ensuring low contact resistance and high shielding effectiveness. At the same time, fully automated operation significantly improves processing efficiency and production cycle time, breaks through capacity bottlenecks, and completely eliminates the safety risks of manual operation, ultimately achieving high consistency, high reliability, and high quality in the cable processing process, significantly reducing quality control costs and after-sales costs.

[0027] The cable moving device 10, cable cutting device 20, cable combing device 30 and cable stamping device 40 will be described in detail below.

[0028] 1. Cable moving device 10 Through research, the inventors discovered that in order to improve cable processing efficiency, there is an urgent need for a cable moving device 10 that can automatically move cables to the target location for processing.

[0029] Therefore, this application proposes a cable moving device 10, according to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2-6As shown, the cable moving device 10 of this application includes: a first fixed plate 11, a fixed drive mechanism 12, a cable fixing mechanism, a cable moving mechanism, and a moving drive mechanism, wherein: the fixed drive mechanism 12 is disposed on the first fixed plate 11 and is movably connected to the cable fixing mechanism for driving the cable fixing mechanism to move; the cable fixing mechanism is movably connected to the first fixed plate 11; the cable moving mechanism is movably connected to the moving drive mechanism for moving the cable into or out of the cable cutting device; the moving drive mechanism is connected to the first fixed plate 11 for driving the cable moving mechanism to move the cable into or out of the cable cutting device.

[0030] Therefore, after the fixed drive mechanism 12 is activated, the cable fixing mechanism connected to the fixed drive mechanism 12 moves forward on the first fixed plate 11 to fix the cable. After the moving drive mechanism is activated, the cable moving mechanism movably connected to the moving drive mechanism fixes the cable. The cable fixing mechanism releases the cable, and the cable moving mechanism moves the cable to the corresponding position (it should be noted that the position moved here can be the position corresponding to operations such as stripping the cable, cutting the shielding wire, combing the shielding wire, and punching the shielding wire). This automated cable moving method improves the efficiency and quality of subsequent cable processing.

[0031] (a) Fixed drive mechanism 12 In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the fixed drive mechanism 12 includes: a first drive cylinder 121, which is disposed on the first fixed plate 11; and a push rod 122, the first end of which is movably connected to the first drive cylinder 121, and the second end of which is connected to the cable fixing mechanism.

[0032] Therefore, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this application, by activating the first drive cylinder 121, enable the push rod 122 connected to the first drive cylinder 121 to push the cable fixing mechanism to move on the first fixing plate 11, so as to fix or loosen the cable.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the cable fixing mechanism includes: a first arm connector 131, movably mounted on a first fixed plate 11, and movably connected to a first drive cylinder 121; a first robotic arm 132 and a second robotic arm 133, disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the first arm connector 131; a first support arm 134, connected to the first robotic arm 132; a second support arm 135, connected to the second robotic arm 133; a first gripper 136, connected to the first support arm 134; a second gripper 137, connected to the second support arm; and a first sliding member, mounted on the first fixed plate 11, connected to the first support arm 134 and the second support arm 135, wherein when the first sliding member moves, the first gripper 136 and the second gripper 137 move relative to each other to fix or release the cable.

[0034] Therefore, it can be seen that in the above embodiments of this application, by activating the first drive cylinder 121, the first arm connector 131, which is movably connected to the first drive cylinder 121, moves on the first fixed plate 11, causing the first mechanical arm 132 and the second mechanical arm 133, which are respectively connected to both sides of the first arm connector 131, to move relative to each other, thereby causing the first gripper 136 and the second gripper 137, which are respectively connected to the first support arm 134 and the second support arm 135, to move relative to each other, so as to fix or release the cable.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first sliding member includes: a first slide bar 1381, with a first side of the first slide bar 1381 disposed on the first fixed plate 11; a first slider 1382, having a first sliding groove adapted to the second side of the first slide bar 1381, and the first sliding groove being movably connected to the first slide bar 1381, with the side of the first slider 1382 facing away from the first sliding groove connected to the first support arm 134; and a second slider 1383, having a second sliding groove adapted to the second side of the first slide bar 1381, and the second sliding groove being movably connected to the first slide bar 1381, with the side of the second slider 1383 facing away from the second sliding groove connected to the second support arm 135.

[0036] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the first slider 1382 and the second slider 1383 are respectively connected to the first support arm 134 and the second support arm 135, and the first slide bar 1381, which is movably connected to the first fixing plate 11, is movably connected to the first slider 1382 and the second slider 1383, so that the first support arm 134 and the second support arm 135 can move relative to each other along the first slide bar 1381, so as to fix or loosen the cable.

[0037] (ii) Cable moving mechanism In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the cable moving mechanism includes a second fixed plate 141, a second driving cylinder 142, and a first fixing component. The second fixed plate 141 is perpendicular to the first fixed plate 11 and is connected to the cable driving mechanism 15 to allow the cable driving mechanism 15 to move the second fixed plate 141. The first end of the second driving cylinder 142 is connected to the second fixed plate 141, and the second end of the second driving cylinder 142 is connected to the first fixing component to drive the first fixing component to move. The first fixing component is movably connected to the second fixed plate 141 to allow the first fixing component to move on the second fixed plate 141.

[0038] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application achieve the fixing or loosening of the cable by activating the second drive cylinder 142, causing the first fixing component movably connected to the second drive cylinder 142 to move relative to the second fixing plate 141, and when the first fixing component fixes the cable, the moving drive mechanism connected to the second fixing plate 141 is activated to drive the second fixing plate 141 to move, so as to move the cable into or out of the cable cutting component.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-6 As shown, the second fixed plate 141 has a first moving channel and a second moving channel, and the first fixed assembly includes: a second arm connector 1431 connected to the second drive cylinder 142; a third robotic arm 1432 and a fourth robotic arm 1433, the first ends of the third robotic arm 1432 and the fourth robotic arm 1433 being movably connected to the second arm connector 1431 respectively; a third support arm 1434, the third robotic arm 1432 passing through the first moving channel and connected to the third support arm 1434, and the third support arm 1434 being movably connected to the second fixed plate 141; the second... The fourth support arm 1435, the fourth robotic arm 1433 passing through the second moving channel and connected to the fourth support arm 1435, and the third support arm 1434 being movably connected to the second fixed plate 141; the third gripper 1436 being connected to the third support arm 1434; the fourth gripper 1437 being connected to the fourth support arm 1435; and the second sliding member being disposed on the second fixed plate 141 and connected to the third support arm 1434 and the fourth support arm 1435. When the second sliding member moves, the third gripper 1436 and the fourth gripper 1437 move relative to each other to fix or release the cable.

[0040] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, by activating the second drive cylinder 142, the second arm connector 1431 connected to the second drive cylinder 142 drives the third support arm 1434 and the fourth support arm 1435 to move relative to each other in the first and second moving channels, thereby causing the third gripper 1436 and the fourth gripper 1437 connected to the third support arm 1434 and the fourth support arm 1435 to move relative to each other, so as to fix or loosen the cable.

[0041] In this embodiment, a protective cover (not shown in the figure) is fitted around the first gripper 136, the second gripper 137, the third gripper 1436 and the fourth gripper 1437, and the protective cover is connected to the first fixing plate 11.

[0042] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application isolate the grippers from the external environment by setting protective sleeves around the four grippers, thereby making the grippers less prone to damage.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the second sliding member includes: a second slide bar 14381, the first side of which is disposed on the second fixed plate 141; a third slider 14382, having a third sliding groove adapted to the second side of the second slide bar 14381, and the third sliding groove being movably connected to the second slide bar 14381, the side of the third slider 14382 facing away from the third sliding groove being connected to the third support arm 1434; and a fourth slider 14383, having a fourth sliding groove adapted to the second side of the second slide bar 14381, and the fourth sliding groove being movably connected to the second slide bar 14381, the side of the fourth slider 14383 facing away from the fourth sliding groove being connected to the fourth support arm 1435.

[0044] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the third slider 14382 and the fourth slider 14383 are respectively connected to the third support arm 1434 and the fourth support arm 1435, and the third support arm 1434 and the fourth support arm 1435 are respectively movably connected to the third slider 14382 and the fourth slider 14383, so that the third support arm 1434 and the fourth support arm 1435 can move relative to each other along the second slider 14381, so as to fix or loosen the cable.

[0045] (III) Cable drive mechanism 15 In this embodiment, as Figure 2-6 As shown, the cable drive mechanism 15 includes: a third fixing plate 151, which is perpendicular to and connected to the first fixing plate 11, and parallel to the second fixing plate 141, and has a receiving groove to allow the second arm connector 1431 to pass through the receiving groove; a first drive motor 152, which is mounted on the third fixing plate 151; a moving component, which is connected to the second fixing plate 141 and movably connected to the first drive motor 152, and passes through a through hole in a fourth fixing plate 16, wherein the fourth fixing plate 16 is parallel to the second fixing plate 141; and a first connecting tube assembly 154, the first end of which is connected to the third fixing plate 151, and the second end of which passes through the through hole in the second fixing plate 141 and is connected to the fourth fixing plate 16.

[0046] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application drive the first drive motor 152 to move the moving component, causing the second fixing plate 141 connected to the moving component to move towards the fourth fixing plate 16 or in the opposite direction of the fourth fixing plate 16, thereby driving the entire first fixing component connected to the second fixing plate 141 to move towards the fourth fixing plate 16 or in the opposite direction of the fourth fixing plate 16, so as to move the cable into or out of the cable cutting device.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 3-5 As shown, the moving component includes: a first sliding screw 1531, the first end of which is movably connected to a first drive motor 152, and the second end of which passes through a through hole in a second fixed plate 141, a through hole in a third fixed plate 151, and a through hole in a fourth fixed plate 16; and a driven rotating member 1532, which is movably connected to the first sliding screw 1531 and connected to the second fixed plate 141.

[0048] Therefore, it can be seen that in the above embodiments of this application, by starting the first drive motor 152, the first sliding screw 1531 movably connected to the first drive motor 152 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the driven rotating member 1532 connected to the first sliding screw 1531 to move on the first sliding screw 1531. When the driven rotating member 1532 moves, the second fixing plate 141 connected to the driven rotating member 1532 moves towards the fourth fixing plate 16 or towards the opposite direction of the fourth fixing plate 16, thereby driving the entire first fixing assembly connected to the second fixing plate 141 to move towards the fourth fixing plate 16 or towards the opposite direction of the fourth fixing plate 16, so as to realize the movement of the cable into or out of the cable cutting device.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-5 As shown, the first connecting pipe assembly 154 includes four first connecting pipes 1541, wherein the first end of each first connecting pipe 1541 is connected to the third fixing plate 151, and the second end of each first connecting pipe 1541 passes through the through hole of the second fixing plate 141 and is connected to the fourth fixing plate 16.

[0050] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application fix the second fixing plate 141, the third fixing plate 151 and the fourth fixing plate 16 together by four first connecting pipes 1541, and move the first fixing component back and forth on the first connecting pipes 1541 to move the cable into or out of the cable cutting device, while also enhancing the stability of the structure connected to the second fixing plate 141, the third fixing plate 151 and the fourth fixing plate 16.

[0051] II. Cable cutting device 20 The inventors' research also revealed that key pre-processing steps such as stripping the cable insulation and cutting the shielding wire are still predominantly performed manually in the industry. This traditional manual stripping method is not only inefficient but also highly dependent on the operator's feel, making it prone to damage to the cable insulation or conductor due to uneven force or inaccurate positioning, as well as insufficient length of the shielding wire, all of which affect electrical performance and product reliability.

[0052] Therefore, this application proposes a cable cutting device 20, according to one embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 7-10 The cable cutting device 20 shown in Figures 12-13 includes: a fifth fixed plate 21 with a fixed channel; a second drive motor 22 mounted on the fifth fixed plate 21; a first active connector 23 movably connected to the second drive motor 22; a third drive motor 24 mounted on the fifth fixed plate 21; a second active connector 25 movably connected to both the third drive motor 24 and the fifth fixed plate 21; and a cutting mechanism located at the fixed channel and movably connected to both the first active connector 23 and the second active connector 25. The center of the fixed channel is aligned with the areas formed by the first gripper 136 and the second gripper 137 approaching each other, and the areas formed by the third gripper 1436 and the fourth gripper 1437 approaching each other in the cable moving device 10, on the same horizontal axis, so that the cable can be accurately moved to the cutting mechanism of the cable moving device 10 for cutting.

[0053] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application, by activating the second drive motor 22 to drive the first active connector 23 movably connected to the second drive motor 22 to rotate, thereby driving the cutting mechanism movably connected to the first active connector 23 to rotate, and simultaneously activating the third drive motor 24 to drive the second active connector 25 movably connected to the third drive motor 24 on the fifth fixed plate 21, thereby driving the cutting mechanism movably connected to the second active connector 25 to rotate. By coordinating the rotation and cutting of the cutting mechanism with the two motors, more precise composite motion control can be achieved, so that the cutting mechanism has both stable rotational cutting force and controllable motion when contacting the cable, thereby ensuring efficient cutting action, smooth cut, and effectively avoiding problems such as uneven cutting resistance that may be caused by single motor drive, significantly improving cutting quality and consistency.

[0054] (a) Cutting mechanism In this embodiment, as Figure 7-13 As shown, the cutting mechanism includes a second fixing component and a cutting component, wherein: the fifth fixing plate 21 also has a moving channel 211; the first active connector 23 has a first active gear and a second active gear; the first end of the second active connector 25 is connected to the third drive motor 24, and the second end of the second active connector 25 passes through the moving channel 211 and is movably connected to one or more rolling gears 263, which are movably connected to the second active gear and the cutting component respectively; the second fixing component is disposed at the position corresponding to the fixing channel and is movably connected to the first active gear; the cutting component is disposed in the fixing channel and is connected to the second fixing component and movably connected to the second active gear.

[0055] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the second drive motor 22 is activated to drive the first and second drive gears to rotate, thereby causing the second fixed component and the cutting component, which are movably connected to the first and second drive gears, to rotate simultaneously. At the same time, the third drive motor 24 is activated to drive the second active connector 25 to move left and right in the moving channel 211, thereby driving the rolling gear 263, which is movably connected to the second active connector 25, to move left and right. This allows for the simultaneous opening and closing of the second fixed component and the cutting component, ensuring that the cable is firmly clamped at the moment of cutting, thereby effectively preventing the cable from shifting or deforming during cutting, ensuring a flat and precise cut, and improving cutting efficiency and quality.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and 11 As shown, the second fixing component includes: a first driven connector 2612 connected to the cutting component, and the inner side of the first driven connector 2612 has a fixing part 26121; a first driven gear 2611 sleeved around the first driven connector 2612; a first transmission belt 2613 sleeved on the first driving gear and the first driven gear 2611 respectively; a plurality of fixed blades 2614, the first ends of the plurality of fixed blades 2614 being spaced apart on the fixing part 26121, and the second end of each fixed blade 2614 having a first sliding track 26141; a second driven connector 2615 disposed inside the first driven connector 2612, the second driven connector 2615 having a plurality of first sliding columns spaced apart, the first sliding columns penetrating the first sliding track 26141.

[0057] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the second drive motor 22 is activated to drive the first driving gear to rotate. The first driving gear and the first transmission belt 2613 drive the first driven gear 2611 to rotate, thereby causing the first driven connector 2612 connected to the first driven gear 2611 and its fixed blade 2614 to rotate as a whole. At the same time, the first sliding column on the second driven connector 2615 moves within the sliding track of the fixed blade 2614, thereby converting the rotational motion into the opening and closing action of the blade edge of the fixed blade 2614. When the cutting assembly rotates and cuts in, the fixed blade 2614 can tighten synchronously, firmly clamping the cable and effectively preventing it from sliding or rotating, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cutting, and improving the overall cutting quality and efficiency.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and 11 As shown, the second fixing component includes: six fixing blades 2614, and the side of the six fixing blades 2614 that contacts the cable forms a space adapted to the cable; the second driven connector 2615 has six first sliding posts (not shown in the figure) spaced apart.

[0059] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application can stably clamp cables of different diameters or shapes through the space formed by the six fixed blades 2614, ensuring uniform force during cutting, effectively preventing cable displacement or deformation, and thus obtaining a flat and precise cut.

[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and 11 As shown, the cutting assembly includes: a third driven connector 2621, sleeved around the first driven connector 2612; a second driven gear 2622, sleeved around the third driven connector 2621 and movably connected to a fixed channel, and stacked with the first driven gear 2611; a second transmission belt 2623, respectively sleeved around the second driving gear, the second driven gear 2622, and the rolling gear 263; and a plurality of cutting blades 2624, each cutting blade 2624 disposed at the bottom of a fixed blade 2614, with the first end of the cutting blade 2624 connected to the fixed blade. The first end of 2614 is coaxially connected, and the cutting blade 2624 has a second sliding rail 26241; the fourth driven connector 2625, the first end of the fourth driven connector 2625 passes through the fixed channel and is connected to the first driven connector 2612, the second driven connector 2615 and the second driven gear 2622 respectively, the first end of the fourth driven connector 2625 has a plurality of second sliding posts arranged at intervals, the second sliding posts pass through the second sliding rail 26241, and the fourth driven connector 2625 has a first through hole for the cable to pass through.

[0061] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the second drive motor 22 is activated to drive the first drive gear and the second drive gear to rotate respectively. The first drive gear and the first transmission belt 2613 drive the first driven gear 2611 to rotate. The second drive gear and the second transmission belt 2623 drive the second driven gear 2622 to rotate, thereby driving the third driven connecting member 2621, which is rotatably connected to the driven gear, to rotate. While the first driven connecting member 2612 and the second driven connecting member 2615 are rotating, they can drive the fourth driven connecting member 2625, which is rotatably connected to the first driven connecting member 2612 and the second driven connecting member 2615 respectively, to rotate. At the same time, the third drive motor 24 is activated to drive the second drive connecting member 25 to move left and right, thereby driving the rolling gear 263 to move left and right, so that the second sliding column on the fourth connecting member slides along the second sliding track 26241 to realize the opening and closing of the cutting blade 2624. Furthermore, since the first driven connector 2612, the second driven connector 2615, the third driven connector 2621, and the fourth driven connector 2625 rotate simultaneously under the combined action of the two drive motors, the above embodiments of this application achieve simultaneous opening and closing of the fixed blade 2614 of the second fixing component and the cutting blade 2624 of the cutting component by coaxially connecting the cutting blade 2624 and the fixing blade 2614.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and 11 As shown, the cutting assembly includes: six cutting blades 2624, and the side of the six cutting blades 2624 that contacts the cable forms a space adapted to the cable; and the fourth driven connector 2625 has six second sliding posts (not shown in the figure) spaced apart.

[0063] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application can stably clamp cables of different diameters or shapes in the space formed by the six cutting blades 2624, ensuring that the force is uniform during cutting and acts synchronously on the circumference of the cable, thereby forming a regular annular cut and effectively avoiding cutting deviation or local compression deformation of the cable.

[0064] (ii) Sliding mechanism The inventors discovered that, in order to achieve fully automated cable cutting and shielding wire combing, this application will provide a sliding path on the fifth fixed plate 21 for the cable combing device 30 to move away from and near the cable. This allows the cable combing device 30 to move away from the cable on the fifth fixed plate 21 without affecting the cable cutting operation. At the same time, the cable combing device 30 can also move near the cable on the fifth fixed plate 21, so as to realize automatic combing of the shielding wire of the cable without manual intervention, thereby improving the cable processing efficiency.

[0065] Therefore, according to one embodiment of this application, the cable cutting device 20 of this application further includes a sliding mechanism connected to the fifth fixing plate 21 and movably connected to the cable combing device 30.

[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 7-9 As shown, the sliding mechanism includes: a first sliding member 271 and a second sliding member 272, wherein the first sliding member 271 and the second sliding member 272 are parallel to and opposite to each other on both sides of the fifth fixed plate 21; a third sliding bar 273 and a fourth sliding bar 274, wherein the third sliding bar 273 is connected to the first sliding member 271 and the second sliding member 272; a fifth slider 275 and a sixth slider 276, wherein one side of the fifth slider 275 is movably connected to the third sliding bar 273, one side of the sixth slider 276 is movably connected to the fourth sliding bar 274, and the other sides of the fifth slider 275 and the sixth slider 276 are respectively connected to the cable combing device 30.

[0067] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application, by setting parallel sliding members and sliding strips on both sides of the fifth fixed plate 21, enable the cable combing device 30 to move smoothly up and down along the sliding strips, thereby realizing that the cable combing device 30 as a whole reliably moves away from or close to the cable. Specifically, when the cable combing device 30 moves downward, it moves closer to the cable; when the cable combing device 30 moves upward, it moves away from the cable.

[0068] In this embodiment, the cutting sensing mechanism is movably connected to the fifth fixed plate 21. When the cable cutting device 20 cuts the shielding wire, the cutting sensing mechanism moves up and down on the fifth fixed plate 21. Specifically, when the cutting sensing mechanism moves upward (i.e., moves closer to the fixed channel), the cable moving device 10 passes the cable through the cutting sensing mechanism and moves it to the cutting position of the cable cutting device 20 to cut the shielding wire. After cutting the shielding wire, the cutting sensing mechanism moves downward. The position of the cutting sensing mechanism in contact with the cable is adapted to fix the cable.

[0069] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application, by moving the cutting sensing mechanism up and down, can guide and fix the cable to the accurate position before cutting the shielding wire to ensure cutting accuracy, and can also reset in time after cutting to make room for the subsequent combing process, thus realizing the automated connection of cable positioning, cutting and process conversion.

[0070] In this embodiment, as Figure 7-9 As shown in Figures 12-13, the cutting sensing mechanism includes: a seventh slider and an eighth slider (not shown in the figure, but with the same structure as the other sliders), the seventh slider being movably connected to the third slider 273, and the eighth slider being movably connected to the fourth slider 274; a connecting plate 281 having a fixing hole, the connecting plate 281 being movably connected between the seventh slider and the eighth slider; and a third driving cylinder 282 being movably connected to the connecting plate 281, used to drive the connecting plate 281 to move up and down along the third slider 273 and the fourth slider 274.

[0071] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application utilize the activation of the third drive cylinder 282 to drive the seventh and eighth sliders connected to the connecting plate 281 to move along the third slide bar 273 and the fourth slide bar 274, thereby enabling the connecting plate 281 to move up and down relative to the fifth fixed plate 21. This cutting sensing mechanism, through the third drive cylinder 282 driving the connecting plate 281 and the seventh and eighth sliders to move precisely up and down along the fourth slide bar 274, achieves automatic guidance, positioning, and fixing of the cable, ensuring the accuracy of the shielding wire cutting position and the smoothness of process switching, thus improving overall automation efficiency.

[0072] In this embodiment, as Figure 11 As shown, the fixing part 26121 has a boss 26122, and the second fixing component also includes a cover plate 2616. The cover plate 2616 is disposed inside the first driven connector 2612 and connected to the fixing part 26121. The cover plate 2616 has a second through hole. When the cable cutting device 20 cuts the insulation layer or shielding wire of the cable, the first through hole, the fixing hole and the second through hole are on the same horizontal axis.

[0073] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the cover plate 2616 is connected to the fixing part 26121, isolating the fixing blade 2614 and the cutting blade 2624 from the outside world and preventing them from easily rusting upon contact with air. Simultaneously, when cutting the shielding wire, the first through hole, the fixing hole, and the second through hole are precisely aligned with the same axis during cutting, ensuring that the cable is stably positioned during the cutting process, effectively improving cutting accuracy and operational reliability.

[0074] Furthermore, according to another embodiment of this application, such as Figure 12-13 As shown, the cable cutting device 20 of this application further includes: a ninth fixing plate 291; a fourth drive motor 292, disposed on the ninth fixing plate 291; a fifth sliding screw 293, the first end of which passes through the ninth fixing plate 291 and is movably connected to the motor; the second end of which is connected to the fourth driven connecting member 2625; an intermediate rotating member 294, movably sleeved around the fifth sliding screw 293; an intermediate pushing member 295, connected to the intermediate rotating member 294 and the fifth fixing plate 21 respectively; and a sliding support member 296, movably connected to the bottom of the fifth fixing plate 21. The third drive motor 24 is disposed on the intermediate pushing member 295.

[0075] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the intermediate rotating member 294 is driven to rotate forward on the fifth sliding screw 293 by starting the fourth drive motor 292, so that the intermediate pushing member 295 connected to the intermediate rotating member 294 moves along the sliding support member 296, thereby pushing the cable cutting device 20.

[0076] III. Cable combing device 30 The inventors' research also revealed that the critical pretreatment step of combing the shielding wire is still predominantly done manually in the industry, meaning that operators manually comb the shielding wire of the cable. This traditional operation mode is not only inefficient, but also prone to shielding wire breakage or deformation due to differences in operator skills or fatigue, which directly affects the reliability of subsequent crimping, the stability of connection resistance, and the overall product qualification rate.

[0077] Therefore, this application proposes a cable combing device 30. According to one embodiment of this application, the cable combing device 30 includes: a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, a third driving mechanism, a first roller brush driving mechanism 34, and a second roller brush driving mechanism 35, wherein: the first driving mechanism is movably connected to the second driving mechanism and the cable stripping device, respectively, so that after the cable cutting device strips the cable sheath, the first driving mechanism moves to a target position relative to the cable cutting device; the second driving mechanism is connected to the third driving mechanism, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the first roller brush driving mechanism 34 and the second roller brush driving mechanism 35 to rotate relative to the cable cutting device; the third driving mechanism is connected to the first roller brush driving mechanism 34 and the second roller brush driving mechanism 35, respectively, and is used to drive the first roller brush driving mechanism 34 and the second roller brush driving mechanism 35 to move left and right relative to each other, so that the first roller brush driving mechanism 34 and the second roller brush driving mechanism 35 can contact or move away from the cable shielding wire.

[0078] Therefore, it can be seen that after the cable cutting device 20 completes the stripping process, the first driving mechanism of the above embodiment of this application can accurately position the two roller brush driving mechanisms to the shielding wire area of ​​the cable; the third driving mechanism drives the two roller brush driving mechanisms to move towards each other, so that the two roller brush driving mechanisms can clamp and contact the shielding wire; the second driving mechanism drives the two roller brush driving mechanisms to rotate around the shielding wire, thereby completing the combing of the shielding wire evenly and efficiently. The device of this application can accurately control the up-down, left-right, and rotational movements of the two roller brush driving mechanisms to achieve automatic and uniform combing of the shielding wire, thereby fundamentally solving the problems of low efficiency, poor consistency, and easy damage to cables by manual methods, and improving the reliability of subsequent crimping and product quality.

[0079] (a) First drive mechanism In this embodiment, as Figure 14-17 As shown, the first driving mechanism includes: a fourth driving cylinder 311 and a telescopic rod 312 movably connected to the fourth driving cylinder 311; and an upper and lower sliding member 313, the top of which is connected to the telescopic rod 312, and one side of which is movably connected to the cable cutting device 20.

[0080] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the fourth drive cylinder 311 drives the telescopic rod 312 to extend downward (i.e., move towards the cable cutting device 20) so that the upper and lower sliding members 313 connected to the telescopic rod 312 move on the cable cutting device 20 toward the cable.

[0081] (ii) Second drive mechanism In this embodiment, as Figure 14-18As shown, the second drive mechanism includes: a first gear 321 connected to the upper and lower sliding member 313; a second gear 322 meshing with the first gear 321; a fifth drive motor 323 movably connected to the second gear 322 for driving the second gear 322 to rotate; and a first rotating assembly movably connected to the first gear 321 and connected to the second gear 322.

[0082] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application drive the second gear 322 to rotate by starting the fifth drive motor 323, which in turn drives the first gear 321 meshing with the second gear 322 to rotate, thereby causing the first rotating component movably connected to the first gear 321 to rotate, thus precisely controlling the rotation of the two roller brush drive mechanisms and automatically and evenly combing the shielding wire.

[0083] In this embodiment, Figure 15-16 As shown in Figure 18, the first gear 321 includes a guide rail portion 3211 and a first meshing portion 3212 connected to the guide rail portion 3211; the second gear 322 includes a connecting portion 3221 and a second meshing portion 3222, the first end of the connecting portion 3221 is connected to the fifth drive motor 323; the second end of the connecting portion 3221 is connected to the second meshing portion 3222; the first meshing portion 3212 meshes with the second meshing portion 3222; the first rotating assembly includes a sixth fixed plate 3241 and a plurality of bearings 3242, wherein the sixth fixed plate 3241 is connected to the fifth drive motor 323 and sleeved on the periphery of the connecting portion 3221; the first ends of the plurality of bearings 3242 are connected to the sixth fixed plate 3241, the second ends of a portion of the bearings 3242 are movably connected to the outer side of the guide rail portion 3211, and the second ends of another portion of the bearings 3242 are movably connected to the inner side of the guide rail portion 3211.

[0084] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application drive the second gear 322 to rotate by starting the fifth drive motor 323, which in turn drives the first gear 321 meshing with the second gear 322 to rotate. This causes multiple bearings 3242 movably connected to the first gear 321 to rotate along the guide rail 3211 of the first gear 321. At the same time, it also drives the sixth fixing plate 3241 connected to the bearings 3242 to rotate, thus precisely controlling the rotation of the two roller brush drive mechanisms and automatically and evenly combing the shielding wire.

[0085] In this embodiment, as Figure 18 As shown, the first rotating assembly includes: four bearings 3242, the first ends of the four bearings 3242 are connected to the sixth fixed plate 3241, the second ends of two bearings 3242 are movably connected to the outer side of the guide rail 3211, and the second ends of two bearings 3242 are movably connected to the inner side of the guide rail 3211.

[0086] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, four bearings 3242 are movably connected to both sides of the guide rail 3211 so that the bearings 3242 can rotate along the guide rail 3211, precisely controlling the rotation of the two roller brush drive mechanisms, and automatically and evenly combing the shielding wire.

[0087] (iii) Third drive mechanism In this embodiment, as Figure 15-16 As shown, the third drive mechanism includes: a third gear 331; a sixth drive motor 332, which is movably connected to the second end of the third gear 331 and is used to drive the third gear 331 to rotate; a fourth gear 333, the first end of which meshes with the first end of the third gear 331; and a left and right motion assembly, which is movably connected to the second end of the fourth gear 333 and is connected to the sixth fixed plate 3241, the first roller brush drive mechanism 34, and the second roller brush drive mechanism 35, respectively.

[0088] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application drive the third gear 331 to rotate by starting the sixth drive motor 332, which in turn drives the fourth gear 333 meshing with the third gear 331 to rotate, thereby driving the left and right motion components that are movably connected to the fourth gear 333 to move relative to each other, thereby achieving precise control of the left and right movement of the two roller brush drive mechanisms, and thus enabling the contact shielding wire to automatically comb the wire.

[0089] In this embodiment, as Figure 15-16 As shown, the left and right movement assembly includes: a second sliding lead screw 3341, the first end of which is movably connected to the second end of the fourth gear 333; a first moving member 3342, which is movably sleeved around the second sliding lead screw 3341 and connected to the first roller brush drive mechanism 34; an isolating member 3343, the first end of which is connected to the second end of the second sliding lead screw 3341; and a first limiting member 3344, which is connected to the sixth fixed plate 3241 and the sixth drive motor 332 respectively, and is sleeved around the first roller brush drive mechanism 34. A movable component 3342 is positioned around the periphery of a second sliding lead screw 3341 on the side opposite to the isolator 3343; a third sliding lead screw 3345 is connected to the second end of the isolator 3343; a second rotating rod 3346 is movably sleeved around the periphery of the third sliding lead screw 3345 and connected to a second roller brush drive mechanism 35; a second limiting component 3347 is connected to a sixth fixing plate 3241 and sleeved around the periphery of the third sliding lead screw 3345 on the side opposite to the isolator 3343 of the second movable component. The threads on the second sliding lead screw 3341 and the third sliding lead screw 3345 are in opposite directions, so that when the second sliding lead screw 3341 and the third sliding lead screw 3345 rotate, the first movable component 3342 and the second movable component can move relative to each other.

[0090] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the sixth drive motor 332 drives the third gear 331 to rotate, causing the fourth gear 333 meshing with the third gear 331 to rotate, which in turn drives the second sliding lead screw 3341 and the third sliding lead screw 3345, which are movably connected to the fourth gear 333, to rotate. This causes the first moving member 3342 and the second moving member, which are movably connected to the second sliding lead screw 3341 and the third sliding lead screw 3345, to move relative to each other, thereby achieving precise control of the left and right movement of the two roller brush drive mechanisms and enabling automatic combing of the contact shielding wire.

[0091] (iv) First roller brush drive mechanism 34 In this embodiment, as Figure 14-17 As shown, the first roller brush driving mechanism 34 includes: a first roller brush connector 341, the top of which is sleeved around the periphery of the first moving member 3342, one side of which is movably connected to the sixth fixed plate 3241, and the first roller brush connector 341 having a first through hole; a first roller brush 342, which is connected to the bottom of the first roller brush connector 341; and a first roller brush driving motor 343, one end of which passes through the first through hole and is movably connected to the first roller brush 342 for driving the first roller brush 342 to rotate.

[0092] (v) Second roller brush drive mechanism 35 In this embodiment, as Figure 14-17 As shown, the second roller brush driving mechanism 35 includes: a second roller brush connector 351, the top of which is sleeved around the periphery of the second moving member, one side of which is movably connected to the sixth fixed plate 3241, and the second roller brush connector 351 having a second through hole; a second roller brush 352, which is connected to the bottom of the second roller brush connector 351; and a second roller brush driving motor 353, one end of which passes through the second through hole and is movably connected to the second roller brush 352 for driving the second roller brush 352 to rotate.

[0093] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the movement of the first moving member 3342 drives the first roller brush connector 341 connected to the first moving member 3342, and the movement of the second moving member drives the second roller brush connector 351 connected to the second moving member, so that the first roller brush connector 341 and the second roller brush connector 351 can move relative to each other, thereby driving the first roller brush 342 and the second roller brush 352 connected to the first roller brush connector 341 and the second roller brush connector 351 to move relative to each other to contact the shielding wire. The first roller brush drive motor 343 is then activated to drive the first roller brush 342 to rotate, and the second roller brush drive motor 353 is activated to drive the second roller brush 352 to rotate, so as to comb the shielding wire.

[0094] In this embodiment, as Figure 15 As shown, the cable combing device 30 further includes: a fifth slide bar 36, the first side of which is disposed on the sixth fixed plate 3241; a ninth slider 37, having a ninth sliding groove adapted to the second side of the fifth slide bar 36, and the ninth sliding groove being movably connected to the fifth slide bar 36, the side of the ninth slider 37 facing away from the ninth sliding groove being connected to the first roller brush connector 341; and a tenth slider 38, having a tenth sliding groove adapted to the second side of the fifth slide bar 36, and the tenth sliding groove being movably connected to the fifth slide bar 36, the side of the tenth slider 38 facing away from the tenth sliding groove being connected to the second roller brush connector 351.

[0095] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application provide a fifth slide bar 36 between the first roller brush connector 341 and the second roller brush connector 351 and the sixth fixing plate 3241, so that the ninth slider 37 and the tenth slider 38, which are movably connected to the first roller brush connector 341 and the second roller brush connector 351, can move relative to each other along the fifth slide bar 36. This enhances the stability of the first roller brush connector 341 and the second roller brush connector 351 on the sixth fixing plate 3241, and also supports the relative movement of the first roller brush 342 and the second roller brush 352 to contact the shielding wire, thereby completing the combing of the shielding wire.

[0096] IV. Cable stamping device 40 The inventors' research also revealed that the crucial pretreatment step of shaping the shielding wire into a form suitable for crimping with a metal ring is still predominantly performed manually in the industry. This traditional manual method heavily relies on the operator's experience and feel, resulting in poor process consistency, low efficiency, and a high risk of overstretching, loosening, or even breaking of the shielding wire due to uneven force or inaccurate positioning. This makes it difficult to form a tight, uniform, and accurately sized ring or bundle-like pretreatment shape, leading to incomplete engagement between the subsequent shielding layer and the metal ring, thus affecting the crimping strength and the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0097] Therefore, this application proposes a cable stamping device 40. According to one embodiment of this application, the cable stamping device 40 includes: a fixing mechanism, a pushing mechanism, and a stamping mechanism 43, wherein: the fixing mechanism is connected to the cable cutting device 20; the pushing mechanism is connected to the fixing mechanism and is used to push the stamping mechanism 43 to contact the shielding wire; the stamping mechanism 43 is connected to the pushing mechanism and stamps the shielding wire when the cable cutting device 20 contacts the shielding wire with the stamping structure.

[0098] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application, by setting up a cable stamping device 40 composed of a fixing mechanism, a pushing mechanism and a stamping mechanism 43, utilize the pushing mechanism to automatically and accurately push the stamping mechanism 43 to contact the shielding wire and complete the stamping, realize the automation of shielding wire pretreatment, solve the problems of poor consistency, low efficiency and easy damage to shielding wire caused by manual operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and uniformity of the pretreatment shape, laying the foundation for subsequent reliable crimping.

[0099] (a) Fixed structure In this embodiment, as Figure 19-21 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes a seventh fixing plate 411 and a second connecting pipe assembly 412, the second connecting pipe assembly 412 being connected between the seventh fixing plate 411 and the cable cutting device 20.

[0100] Therefore, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this application connect the seventh fixing plate 411 and the cable cutting device 20 through the second connecting pipe assembly 412, so that after the cable cutting device 20 cuts the cable, the cable moving device 10 can directly pass the cable through the cable cutting device 20 and contact the stamping mechanism 43, thereby realizing the full automation of the cable moving, cutting and stamping processes without manual intervention, improving the efficiency and accuracy of processing.

[0101] In this embodiment, the second connecting pipe assembly 412 includes a plurality of second connecting pipes 4121, wherein the first end of each second connecting pipe 4121 is connected to the seventh fixing plate 411, and the second end of each second connecting pipe 4121 is connected to the cable cutting device 20. The second connecting pipe assembly 412 includes four second connecting pipes 4121.

[0102] Therefore, it can be seen that this application uses multiple second connecting pipes 4121 to form a stable frame to fix the entire cable stamping device 40.

[0103] (II) Promoting Institutions In this embodiment, as Figure 19-21 As shown, the pushing mechanism includes: an eighth fixed plate 421; a seventh drive motor 422, which is mounted on the eighth fixed plate 421; a second rotating assembly, which is movably connected to the seventh drive motor 422; and a pushing assembly, which is movably connected to the second rotating assembly and connected to the seventh fixed plate 411, allowing the pushing assembly to push the seventh fixed plate 411 to slide on multiple second connecting pipes 4121 when the pushing motor drives the second rotating assembly to rotate.

[0104] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the seventh drive motor 422 is activated to drive the second rotating component to rotate, which in turn drives the pushing component to push the seventh fixed plate 411 to slide on multiple second connecting pipes 4121, thereby causing the stamping mechanism 43 to contact the shielding wire and realize the stamping of the shielding wire.

[0105] In this embodiment, as Figure 19-21 As shown, the second rotating assembly includes: a first rotating gear 4231, which is movably connected to the seventh drive motor 422; a second rotating gear 4232, which is disposed on the seventh fixed plate 411 and movably connected to the push assembly; and a third transmission belt 4233, which is respectively sleeved on the first rotating gear 4231 and the second rotating gear 4232.

[0106] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the first rotating gear 4231 is driven to rotate by starting the seventh drive motor 422, which in turn drives the second rotating gear 4232, which is connected to the first rotating gear 4231 through the third transmission belt 4233, to rotate, thereby causing the second rotating gear 4232 to rotate with the push component.

[0107] In this embodiment, a second protective sleeve (not shown in the figure) is provided around the second rotating component to prevent the second rotating component from being directly exposed to the environment and to improve the service life of the second rotating component.

[0108] In this embodiment, as Figure 20 As shown, the pushing assembly includes: a fourth sliding screw 4241, the first end of which is connected to the second rotating gear 4232, and the second end of which enters the stamping mechanism 43; a rotating member 4242, which is sleeved around the fourth sliding screw 4241; and a pushing member 4243, the first end of which is connected to the rotating member 4242, and the second end of which is connected to the eighth fixed plate 421.

[0109] Therefore, in the above embodiments of this application, the rotation of the second rotating gear 4232 drives the fourth sliding screw 4241 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating part 4242 to rotate on the fourth sliding screw 4241. Finally, the pushing part 4243 connected to the rotating part 4242 pushes the eighth fixed plate 421 to move closer to the cable cutting device 20, so that the stamping mechanism 43 contacts the shielding wire to complete the stamping of the shielding wire.

[0110] (III) Stamping mechanism 43 In this embodiment, as Figure 19-21As shown, the stamping mechanism 43 includes: a fastening tube 431, which penetrates the through hole of the eighth fixing plate 421, and the second end of the fourth sliding screw 4241 enters the first end of the fastening tube 431; a stamping tube 432, the first end of which is connected to the second end of the fastening tube 431; and a limiting tube 433, which is sleeved around the second end of the stamping tube 432, and the fourth sliding screw 4241, the stamping tube 432, and the limiting tube 433 are on the same horizontal axis. Before stamping, the cable moving device 10 moves the shielding wire into the limiting tube 433 to contact the stamping tube 432.

[0111] Therefore, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of this application, by setting the fastening tube 431, the stamping tube 432 and the limiting tube 433 on the same horizontal axis, enable the shielding wire to be stamped along a precise straight path under the drive of the fourth sliding screw 4241, ensuring the stability and directional accuracy of the stamping action, effectively preventing skewing or shaking during the stamping process, thereby forming a regular, tight and uniform shielding wire pre-treatment shape, providing a guarantee for subsequent reliable crimping.

[0112] In this embodiment, as Figure 19-21 As shown, the stamping mechanism 43 further includes: an eighth drive motor 434, which is mounted on an eighth fixed plate 421; a third rotating gear 435, the first end of which is connected to the eighth drive motor 434, and the second end of which is connected to the eighth fixed plate 421; a fourth rotating gear 436, which is sleeved around the first end of the fastening tube 431; and a fourth transmission belt 437, which is sleeved on the third rotating gear 435 and the fourth rotating gear 436 respectively.

[0113] Therefore, this application drives the third rotating gear 435 to rotate by starting the eighth drive motor 434, which in turn drives the fourth rotating gear 436, which is movably connected to the third rotating gear 435 via the fourth transmission belt 437, to rotate. This, in turn, drives the fastening tube 431, which is connected to the fourth rotating gear 436, to rotate, ultimately achieving the rotation of the stamping tube 432. In this embodiment, the eighth drive motor 434 drives the stamping tube 432 to rotate while stamping, ensuring that the shielding wire is uniformly spun and shaped during the stamping process. This effectively avoids the problem of the shielding wire being squeezed into a clump by the traditional direct pressing method.

[0114] In this embodiment, as Figure 19-21 As shown, the stamping mechanism 43 also includes: a fastener 438, which is detachably connected to the eighth fixing plate 421 and the fastening tube 431 respectively; the first end of the stamping tube 432 is detachably connected to the second end of the fastening tube 431.

[0115] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application detachably connect the fastener 438 to the eighth fixing plate 421, so that while the fastener 438 fixes the fastening tube 431, the fastener 438 can be removed and the stamping tube 432 replaced, so that the cable stamping device 40 can replace the stamping tube 432 of different sizes according to the cable thickness for stamping.

[0116] In this embodiment, as Figure 19-21 As shown, the stamping mechanism 43 also includes: a support tube 439, the first end of which is connected to the eighth fixing plate 421, and the second end of which is connected to the support frame 440; the support frame 440 is sleeved on part or all of the periphery of the limiting tube 433.

[0117] Therefore, the above embodiments of this application provide a support tube 439 connected to the eighth fixing plate 421 and connect the support tube 439 to the support frame 440 so that the support frame 440 can support the limiting tube 433, thereby increasing the stability of the stamping tube 432 and the limiting tube 433, and ensuring that the stamping tube 432 will not shift its position during the stamping process, thus affecting the stamping effect.

[0118] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the cable processing device of this application further includes: a frame 50, which is connected to the third fixing plate 1441, the fifth fixing plate 21, and the seventh fixing plate 411 to fix the cable moving device 10, the cable cutting device 20, and the cable stamping device 40.

[0119] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned cable processing system 100, this application proposes a cable processing method. This method performs the following steps S1-S to achieve cable movement, outer sheath stripping, shield wire cutting, shield wire combing, shield wire stamping, and inner sheath stripping: S1, the cable moving device 10 moves the cable to the cutting position of the cable cutting device 20; S2, the cutting mechanism of the cable cutting device 20 cuts the outer sheath of the cable to strip it; S3, after the cable moving device 10 moves the cut cable out of the cable cutting device 20, the cutting sensing mechanism of the cable cutting device 20 moves to a position on the same horizontal axis as the cutting mechanism, and the cable moving device 10 moves the cut cable... The cable passes through the cutting induction mechanism and moves to the cutting mechanism; S4, the cutting mechanism cuts the shielding wire of the cable; S5, after the cable moving device 10 moves the cable with the cut shielding wire out of the cable cutting device 20, the cutting induction mechanism moves to the initial position, the cable moving device 10 moves the cable with the cut shielding wire to the first target position, and the cable combing device 30 moves to the first target position to comb the shielding wire; S6, when the cable moving device 10 moves the combed cable to the second target position, the cable punching device 40 punches the shielding wire; S7, when the cable moving device 10 moves the punched cable to the cutting mechanism, the cutting mechanism cuts the inner sheath of the cable to remove the inner sheath. It should be noted that the above workflow is only one embodiment of this application, and the automated processing flow of cables in this application can be adjusted according to the actual situation and is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0120] In summary, compared to existing cable processing methods that heavily rely on manual labor, the cable processing system 100 of this application integrates cable moving, cutting, combing, and stamping devices to construct a fully automated processing flow. The fully automated operation significantly improves cable processing efficiency and completely eliminates the safety risks of manual operation. At the same time, it improves the consistency, reliability, and quality of the cable processing process and reduces quality control and after-sales costs.
