Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable reeling device technology, and in particular to a cable reeling device for communication maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] Cable reel-out devices are used in communication line installation, laying, maintenance, and repair. They are primarily used for cable winding and unwinding operations, ensuring the cables are neatly and orderly wound and unwound. In the field of communication maintenance, cable reel-out devices are widely used in the maintenance of various communication equipment. However, existing cable reel-out devices often lack a guiding mechanism during the winding process, leading to uneven cable winding. This uneven winding causes mutual compression and friction between the cables, which, over time, accelerates surface wear, reduces insulation performance and mechanical strength, and ultimately affects the cable's lifespan. Furthermore, uneven winding can also cause problems such as cable jamming and tangling during unwinding, increasing the difficulty and risk of maintenance work and reducing the efficiency and safety of communication line maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a cable reel for communication maintenance, which enables the cable reel to be wound up evenly and neatly.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a cable reel for communication maintenance, comprising:

[0005] A cable take-up and release assembly having a rotatable shaft, the cable take-up and release assembly further including a power source for driving the shaft to rotate, the rotation of the shaft being used for taking up and releasing the cable;

[0006] Supports are symmetrically distributed on the take-up and unwinding assembly with respect to the pivot axis;

[0007] A linear motion component, which is mounted on a support;

[0008] The first guide component, the linear motion component, can drive the first guide component to reciprocate along the length direction of the rotating shaft, and is used to guide the cable during take-up to be spirally wound onto the rotating shaft;

[0009] A tensioning cylinder is located at the moving end of the linear motion component, and the first guide component is located at the moving end of the tensioning cylinder. The tensioning cylinder can drive the first guide component to move up and down to tension the cable passing through the first guide component.

[0010] Furthermore, the linear motion assembly includes a platform mounted on a support, a drive unit on the platform, a lead screw rotatably mounted on the platform, the drive unit being able to drive the lead screw to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and a mounting platform rotatably mounted on the platform, the mounting platform being screwed into the lead screw, the rotation of the lead screw being able to drive the mounting platform to reciprocate along the length direction of the rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the first guide assembly includes a first fixed seat disposed at the moving end of the tensioning cylinder, and a first traction wheel is rotatably disposed on the first fixed seat.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a lateral guide component and a second guide component disposed on the support, the lateral guide component being located between the first guide component and the second guide component, the lateral guide component and the second guide component being used to guide and pull the passing cable.

[0013] Furthermore, the lateral guide assembly includes a second fixed seat disposed on the support, a U-shaped frame disposed on the second fixed seat that can rotate vertically, and two symmetrically distributed second traction wheels disposed on the U-shaped frame that can rotate laterally.

[0014] Furthermore, the second guiding component includes a third fixed seat disposed on the support, and a third traction wheel is disposed on the third fixed seat that can rotate up and down.

[0015] Furthermore, the cable take-up and unwinding assembly also includes a base, on which a bracket is provided, the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the bracket, and blocking brackets are provided on both sides of the rotating shaft. The power source is mounted on the bracket, and the support is mounted on the base.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0017] In this invention, when the shaft rotates and winds the cable, the linear motion component is simultaneously activated, causing the first guide component to move in one direction along the length of the shaft. At this time, the first guide component guides the cable to wind around the shaft in a spiral shape. After one stroke is completed, the linear motion component drives the first guide component to move in another direction, so that the cable is wound around the shaft again. By repeating the above operation multiple times, the cable can be wound evenly and neatly. This method does not cause the cable to overlap during winding, thus avoiding excessive friction and improving the cable's service life. In addition, the tensioning cylinder ensures that the cable is effectively tensioned during both winding and unwinding, further improving the winding and unwinding efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model discloses a cable release device for communication maintenance, including a cable reeling and releasing assembly 1, which has a rotatable shaft 13. The cable reeling and releasing assembly 1 also includes a power source that drives the shaft 13 to rotate. The power source can be an electric motor. The rotation of the shaft 13 is used to reel in or release the cable. In use, the shaft 13 can reel in or release the cable by rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0024] In one embodiment, the device further includes a support 2 and a first guide component 5. The support 2 and the rotating shaft 13 are symmetrically distributed on the take-up and unwinding assembly 1. A linear motion component 3 is provided on the support 2. The linear motion component 3 can drive the first guide component 5 to reciprocate along the length direction of the rotating shaft 13 to guide the cable during take-up to be spirally wound onto the rotating shaft 13. A tensioning cylinder 4 is provided at the moving end of the linear motion component 3, and the first guide component 5 is provided at the moving end of the tensioning cylinder 4. The tensioning cylinder 4 can drive the first guide component 5 to move up and down to tension the cable passing through the first guide component 5.

[0025] In practice, when the shaft 13 rotates and winds up the cable, the linear motion component 3 is activated simultaneously to move the first guide component 5 along the length of the shaft 13 in one direction. At this time, the first guide component 5 guides the cable to wind around the shaft 13 in a spiral shape. After one stroke is completed, the linear motion component 3 drives the first guide component 5 to move in another direction, so that the cable is wound around the shaft 13 again. By performing the above operation multiple times, the cable can be wound up evenly and neatly. This method will not cause the cable to overlap during winding and cause greater friction, thus improving the service life of the cable. In addition, the tensioning cylinder 4 can effectively tension the cable during winding and unwinding, thereby further improving the winding and unwinding effect.

[0026] In one embodiment, the linear motion component 3 includes a platform 31 mounted on a support 2, a drive unit 32 mounted on the platform 31, the drive unit 32 being a motor device, a lead screw 33 rotatably mounted on the platform 31, the drive unit 32 being able to drive the lead screw 33 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and a mounting platform 34 rotatably mounted on the platform 31.

[0027] In practice, the mounting platform 34 is screwed to the lead screw 33. The rotation of the lead screw 33 can drive the mounting platform 34 to reciprocate along the length of the rotating shaft 13, thereby causing the tensioning cylinder 4 and the first guide assembly 5 on it to move accordingly.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first guide assembly 5 includes a first fixed seat 51 mounted on the moving end of the tension cylinder 4, and a first traction wheel 52 is rotatably mounted on the first fixed seat 51.

[0029] In practice, the surface of the first traction wheel 52 can be mirror-finished. When the cable passes through and comes into contact with the first traction wheel 52, the first traction wheel 52 rotates synchronously. This can effectively reduce friction between the cable while pulling it, so as to facilitate long-term use.

[0030] In one embodiment, the device further includes a lateral guide component 6 and a second guide component 7 disposed on the support 2, wherein the lateral guide component 6 is located between the first guide component 5 and the second guide component 7.

[0031] In practice, the lateral guide component 6 and the second guide component 7 are used to guide and pull the passing cable. During winding, the cable contacts the second guide component 7, the lateral guide component 6 and the first guide component 5 in sequence and is finally wound onto the rotating shaft 13.

[0032] In one embodiment, the lateral guide assembly 6 includes a second fixed seat 61 mounted on the support 2, a U-shaped frame 62 rotatably mounted on the second fixed seat 61, and two symmetrically distributed second traction wheels 63 rotatably mounted on the U-shaped frame 62.

[0033] In practice, when the mounting platform 34 moves linearly, the cable will be conducted at an angle as it passes through the transverse guide component 6 and the first guide component 5. During this process, the cable first passes between and contacts the two symmetrically distributed second traction wheels 63. Since the second traction wheels 63 can rotate laterally, the cable can effectively reduce friction with the second traction wheels 63 when it is tilted laterally. When the tensioning cylinder 4 drives the first guide component 5 to move up and down and tension the cable, the U-shaped frame 62 will rotate around the connection point with the second fixed seat 61, so that the second traction wheel 63 also rotates to the corresponding tilt state, thereby further preventing the cable from being affected by excessive friction with the second traction wheel 63.

[0034] In one embodiment, the second guide assembly 7 includes a third fixed seat 71 mounted on the support 2, and a third traction wheel 72 is rotatably mounted on the third fixed seat 71.

[0035] In practice, when the cable needs to be wound up, the cable will first pass through the bottom of the third traction wheel 72, then pass between the two second traction wheels 63, and finally pass through the top of the first traction wheel 52 before it can be wound up. During this process, the cable can be effectively guided and collected after being tensioned by the tensioning cylinder 4.

[0036] In one embodiment, the take-up and unwind assembly 1 further includes a base 11, on which a bracket 12 is mounted, and a rotating shaft 13 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 12. Both sides of the rotating shaft 13 are equipped with blocking brackets 14.

[0037] In practice, the power source is installed on the bracket 12, while the support 2 is installed on the base 11.

[0038] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0039] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0040] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
