With the continuous improvement of the degree of automation in various industries, the downstream factories in the industrial chain gradually adopt automated equipment to replace the transmission process in the process of using heat shrink tubing. The development and application of automated equipment have gradually increased the requirements for the quality and consistency of heat shrink tubing. Heat shrink tubing with unstable axial elongation rate will seriously affect the operating stability of subsequent automated equipment and will inevitably be eliminated by the market.

[0059] The axial elongation rate of heat shrink tubing is one of the important indicators to measure its quality. With the continuous improvement of the degree of automation in various industries, the downstream factories in the industrial chain gradually adopt automated equipment to replace the transmission process in the process of using heat shrink tubing. The development and application of automated equipment have gradually increased the requirements for the quality and consistency of heat shrink tubing. Heat shrink tubing with unstable axial elongation rate will seriously affect the operating stability of subsequent automated equipment and will inevitably be eliminated by the market.
[0060] In the related art, the production line of the heat shrink tube dry expander is generally composed of three parts: a tube placing device, a tube collecting device, and an expander main unit. The expansion main unit is generally composed of a conveying device, a heating device, an expansion mold, and a traction device, which are arranged from top to bottom. The tube placing device is generally a disc rack or a material frame. The heat shrink tube to be expanded is passively rotated out of the disc rack or passively pulled out of the material frame, and its power is provided by the conveying device of the expansion main unit; the tube collecting device generally uses a square or barrel-shaped material frame, which is directly placed under the traction device of the expansion main unit to freely accept the finished heat shrink tube. In this process, the stretching rate of the heat shrink tube changes dynamically during the expansion process, and the stretching rate cannot be effectively controlled.
[0061] If the tube unwinding device adopts a reel rack, the deformation of the storage reel itself or the number of stored tubes will cause the center of gravity of the storage reel to be eccentric and the balance to be unstable, resulting in uneven rotation speed of the heat shrink tube unwinding reel, unstable tension of the heat shrink tube, and slippage of the tube delivery. This will cause the heat shrink tube to have different degrees of axial stretching during the tube unwinding stage, thereby affecting the expansion and causing uncontrollable axial stretching changes in the finished product after expansion. If the tube is unwinded from the material frame, it is very easy for the tube to be tangled. If it cannot be handled manually in time, it will cause a crash. At the same time, unwinding the tube from the frame is also very likely to cause radial distortion of the tube.
[0062] The tube collection device generally uses a material frame to connect the tube, and the heat shrink tube falls freely into the material frame, and is stacked and accumulated in a circle in the material frame. When the heat shrink tube expands, it is a deformation process that changes the heat shrink tube from a small diameter to a large diameter. When the diameter of the heat shrink tube increases, the volume will increase. This process requires continuous filling of compressed gas into the inner cavity of the heat shrink tube, and the compressed gas is filled from the end side of the expanded product. Since the heat shrink tube is freely stacked in the frame, the shape and position of the circle are uncontrollable, and it will occasionally bend. When there are many stacks in the frame, the heat shrink tube at the bottom will also be squeezed and deformed. When a bend occurs, the filling of compressed gas is blocked, which will cause a crash; when the heat shrink tube is compressed and deformed, it will affect the filling of compressed gas, which will lead to insufficient expansion. The axial stretching of the heat shrink tube will also change. As the deformation reaches a certain degree, it will also cause a crash. Using a material frame to store materials will cause the next packaging process to easily cause problems such as tube tangling and crashes, which is not conducive to packaging automation.
[0063] The heat shrink tube is sent from top to bottom by the conveying device to the heating device for heating, then enters the mold for expansion, and is subsequently pulled out of the mold by the traction device at the bottom. This process requires the conveying device and the traction device to match an optimal constant linear speed, and the heat shrink tube can expand stably only when it enters the mold mouth vertically. However, in this process, there are many unstable factors such as the vacuum pressure fluctuation of the mold, the internal pressure fluctuation of the heat shrink tube, the slight difference in the wall thickness of the tube, the uniformity of the microstructure of the heat shrink tube material, the axial stretching changes caused by the previous process, and the shaking of the heat shrink tube caused by heat convection in the heating device. Affected by these uncertain factors, the axial stretch rate of the heat shrink tube has been in dynamic fluctuations. Among these uncertain factors, the vacuum pressure fluctuation of the mold, the internal pressure fluctuation of the heat shrink tube, and the axial stretching changes caused by the previous process are most likely to cause the axial stretch of the expanded finished product to exceed the standard. When the heat shrink tube expands downward, the inlet of the expansion mold is at the top, and the heat shrink tube is blocked from entering the mold. Before entering the mold, the heat shrink tube is in a highly elastic state. Here, when affected by the above-mentioned unstable factors, the heat shrink tube is very likely to stretch or bend. When the two exceed a certain degree, the stretching will exceed the standard and fail. When the bending accumulates further, it will cause tube accumulation and then crash.
[0064] It can be seen that during the expansion process, the stretching rate of the heat shrink tube changes dynamically and cannot be effectively controlled. At the same time, after the heat shrink tube has been repeatedly turned over and circulated through a series of processes before expansion, the original tube will continue to accumulate defects of uneven axial stretching rate. Conventional heating methods during expansion cannot eliminate the defects of unstable axial stretching rate. These defects will cause the axial stretching rate of the finished heat shrink tube after expansion to be unstable, resulting in product quality problems.
[0065] Based on the above concepts and problems, the present invention proposes a processing device 100. It can be understood that the processing device 100 is used for the expansion processing of the heat shrinkable tube 8.

The tube cover can be selected as a cover body, a box body or a cover body. The tube cover can be fixed on the bottom cover by welding or integral molding, which can improve the installation temperature resistance. Of course, the tube cover can also be detachably installed on the bottom cover by means of snap connection, plug-in matching, screw connection or pin connection, which can facilitate the disassembly, replacement or maintenance of the heating tube and improve convenience.
[0076] In this embodiment, the side of the fixed plate of the retracting box 211 facing the enclosure is provided with heat insulation cotton. It can be understood that by providing the heat insulation cotton, the heat of the fixed plate is effectively reduced, thereby facilitating the reduction of the temperature of the heat shrink tube 8 entering the expansion mold 3, thereby facilitating the expansion and shaping of the heat shrink tube 8.
[0077] It can be understood that a fixing lug is provided on the side of the bottom cover of the retracting box 211 facing away from the fixing plate, and the retracting mechanism 21 further includes a fixing seat and a driving cylinder, one end of the driving cylinder is rotatably connected to the fixing seat, and the other end of the driving cylinder is provided with a connector, which is rotatably connected to the fixing lug; the driving cylinder drives the bottom cover to open or close the retracting chamber 2111. By providing a fixing seat and a driving cylinder, the bottom cover can be automatically opened or closed by the driving cylinder, thereby preventing the bottom cover from scalding the user and improving safety.

[0079] The first driving member 2131 can be selected as a driving motor, a driving motor or a servo motor, etc., which is not limited here. The driving shaft 2132 passes through the enclosure of the retraction box 211, one end of which extends into the retraction chamber 2111, and the other end is located outside the retraction box 211 and is connected to the first driving member 2131. It can be understood that the first driving member 2131 and the driving shaft 2132 are connected by belt transmission. The driving shaft 2132 is inserted into the enclosure through a bearing structure, so that the first driving member 2131 drives the driving shaft 2132 to rotate.
[0080] It is understandable that the driven shaft 2133 can be passed through the enclosure of the retraction box 211, and one end extends into the retraction chamber 2111. The driven shaft 2133 can also be completely arranged in the retraction chamber 2111, which is not limited here. In this embodiment, the driven shaft 2133 is connected to the enclosure of the retraction box 211 through a bearing structure, and the conveyor belt 2134 is sleeved on the driving shaft 2132 and the driven shaft 2133. In this way, when the first driving member 2131 drives the driving shaft 2132 to rotate, the conveyor belt 2134 and the driven shaft 2133 are driven to rotate, thereby enabling the conveyor belt 2134 to achieve the transmission of the heat shrink tube 8.
[0081] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the retraction mechanism 21 further includes a temperature sensor 214 disposed in the retraction box 211 , one end of the temperature sensor 214 passes through the retraction box 211 and extends into the retraction cavity 2111 for detecting the temperature in the retraction cavity 2111 .
[0082] It can be understood that by setting the temperature sensor 214, the temperature in the retraction chamber 2111 can be monitored in real time by using the temperature sensor 214, so as to control the temperature in the retraction chamber 2111 by controlling the working condition of the heating tube in the heating assembly 212. In this embodiment, the heating structure 2 also includes a controller, and the temperature sensor 214 and the heating tube are both electrically connected to the controller, so that the temperature in the retraction chamber 2111 can be monitored by using the temperature sensor 214 to feedback to the controller, so as to control the working condition of the heating tube by using the controller.

[0084] In this embodiment, the enclosure of the retraction box 211 may be a quadrangular prism structure, and the enclosure includes a first side wall and a second side wall that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side wall and the second side wall are transparent glass. By setting the first side wall and the second side wall as transparent glass, it is convenient to observe or monitor the retraction and shaping of the heat shrink tube 8 in the retraction chamber 2111 through the first side wall and the second side wall. Optionally, the extension direction of the first side wall and the second side wall is the same as the line connecting the inlet 2113 and the outlet 2112.
[0085] It can be understood that the retraction mechanism 21 includes two curvature detectors 215, which are arranged on the fixed plate of the retraction box 211 and are spaced apart from and arranged in parallel with the first side wall and the second side wall. One curvature detector 215 is arranged corresponding to the inlet 2113 and is electrically connected to the conveying assembly 213, and the other curvature detector 215 is arranged corresponding to the outlet 2112 and is electrically connected to the heating furnace 22. The curvature detector 215 is used to detect the degree of curvature of the heat shrink tube 8 in the retraction chamber 2111.
[0086] In this embodiment, a curvature detector 215 is provided so that the curvature detector 215 can detect the degree of curvature of the heat shrinkable tube 8 in the retraction chamber 2111 through the first side wall and the second side wall, thereby controlling the feeding or discharging speed of the heat shrinkable tube 8 in the retraction chamber 2111 to adjust or eliminate the defect of unstable axial stretching rate of the heat shrinkable tube 8.
[0087] It can be understood that each curvature detector 215 includes an emitter 2151 and a receiver 2152. The emitter 2151 is connected to the fixed plate and is located on the side of the first side wall facing away from the second side wall; the receiver 2152 is connected to the fixed plate and is located on the side of the second side wall facing away from the first side wall. The receiver 2152 is arranged corresponding to the emitter 2151.
[0088] In this embodiment, the emitter 2151 and the receiver 2152 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the enclosure, that is, the emitter 2151 is located on the side of the first side wall facing away from the second side wall, and the receiver 2152 is located on the side of the second side wall facing away from the first side wall, so that the signal emitted by the emitter 2151 passes through the transparent first side wall and the second side wall to reach the receiver 2152. It can be understood that the two bending detectors 215 are used to detect the bending degree of the heat shrink tube 8 at the inlet 2113 and the outlet 2112 in the retraction chamber 2111, respectively.
[0089] In this embodiment, the heat shrinkable tube 8 in the retraction chamber 2111 has two free bending structures, namely corresponding to the inlet 2113 and the outlet 2112. By setting two curvature detectors 215 corresponding to the inlet 2113 and the outlet 2112 respectively, the height positions of the two free bending structures of the heat shrinkable tube 8 in the retraction chamber 2111 can be detected, thereby realizing the bending degree detection.
[0090] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the retraction mechanism 21 also includes two guide assemblies 216 arranged in the retraction chamber 2111, one guide assembly 216 is arranged near the inlet 2113, and the other guide assembly 216 is arranged near the outlet 2112, the driving shaft 2132 and the driven shaft 2133 are located between the two guide assemblies 216, and each guide assembly 216 includes a connecting plate 2161 and a guide wheel 2162, one end of the connecting plate 2161 is connected to the inner wall of the retraction chamber 2111, and the guide wheel 2162 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting plate 2161, and the guide wheel 2162 is provided with a guide groove, which is used to accommodate the heat shrink tube 8.
[0091] In this embodiment, by providing a guide assembly 216, the guide assembly 216 is used to guide the heat shrink tube 8 at the inlet 2113 or the outlet 2112, so as to avoid transition bending of the heat shrink tube 8 during movement, thereby affecting the processing and production of the heat shrink tube 8 and the product quality. Each guide assembly 216 includes a connecting plate 2161 and a guide wheel 2162, one end of the connecting plate 2161 is connected to the inner wall of the retraction cavity 2111; the guide wheel 2162 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting plate 2161, and the guide wheel 2162 is provided with a guide groove, and the guide groove is used to accommodate the heat shrink tube 8.
[0092] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 2161 may be a U-shaped plate structure or two oppositely arranged plate structures, one end of the connecting plate 2161 is connected to the fixed plate, and the other end extends toward the retraction cavity 2111. The guide wheel 2162 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 2161, and the guide wheel 2162 is provided with a guide groove, which is used to accommodate the heat shrink tube 8.
[0093] It can be understood that in order to adjust the position of the guide wheel 2162, multiple mounting positions are set on the connecting plate 2161, and the multiple mounting positions are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the connecting plate 2161. By adjusting the position of the guide wheel 2162 at the mounting position on the connecting plate 2161, the position adjustment of the guide wheel 2162 can be achieved.
[0094] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating furnace 22 includes a furnace body 221 and a conveying wheel 222. The furnace body 221 is arranged at the inlet 2113. The furnace body 221 is provided with a heating chamber 2211 and an inlet 2212. The inlet 2212 is located at the end of the furnace body 221 away from the inlet 2113. The conveying wheel 222 is arranged at the inlet 2212. The conveying wheel 222 includes two conveying rollers 2221 arranged opposite to each other. A conveying channel 2222 is formed between the two conveying rollers 2221. The conveying channel 2222 is opposite to and connected to the inlet 2212, and is used for conveying the heat shrink tube 8 of the tube release roller 11 to the inlet 2212.
[0095] In this embodiment, the furnace body 221 can be optionally a cylindrical or columnar structure with a cavity, that is, the furnace body 221 has a heating chamber 2211, one end of the furnace body 221 is connected to the inlet 2113 on the fixed plate 11 of the retraction box 211, and the other end of the furnace body 221 is formed with an inlet 2212, so that the heat shrink tube 4 on the tube roller 11 can enter the heating chamber 2211 from the inlet 2212 for preheating or pre-heating, enter the retraction chamber 2111 through the inlet 2113 for secondary heating and retraction shaping, and be transmitted to the outlet 2112 via the conveyor belt 2134, and the outlet 2112 is led out by the guide assembly 216 to enter the expansion mold 3 for expansion and shaping.
[0096] It can be understood that in order to allow the heat shrink tube 8 to smoothly enter the heating chamber 2211 from the inlet 2212, a conveying wheel 222 is provided at the inlet 2212, and the conveying wheel 222 includes two conveying rollers 2221 arranged opposite to each other, each conveying roller 2221 is provided with a groove, and the two grooves enclose a conveying channel 2222, that is, a conveying channel 2222 is formed between the two conveying rollers 2221, and the conveying channel 2222 is opposite to and connected to the inlet 2212, and is used to convey the heat shrink tube 8 to the inlet 2212.
[0097] For different heat shrink tubes 8, the curvature of the heat shrink tube 8 in the retraction box 211 can be set, so as to achieve the best effect of reducing the instability of the incoming material stretch rate. Maintaining this set of curvatures for continuous production can effectively reduce the quality problem of unstable axial stretch rate of the product. Due to the fluctuation of the incoming heat shrink tube 8, when the heat shrink tube 8 is retracted and shaped in the retraction box 211, these two sets of free bends will fluctuate randomly. In order to stabilize production, this fluctuation needs to be controlled to keep the curvature within the set range.
[0098] It can be understood that by controlling the speed of the conveying wheel 222 and the conveyor belt 2134, two groups of free bending states can be formed in the retraction chamber 2111 of the retraction box 211, ensuring that the heat shrink tube 8 can be fully retracted in the high elastic state. The bending tube between the heating furnace 22 and the conveyor belt 2134 is defined as the first bend, and the bending tube between the conveyor belt 2134 and the expansion mold 3 is defined as the second bend.
[0099] In this embodiment, the curvature of the first bend is kept under control by monitoring the high and low positions of the first bend through a curvature detector 215 corresponding to the inlet 2113. If the detected value is higher than the set value, it means that the retraction amount is too large and the incoming material needs to be increased in time. At this time, the tube delivery speed of the conveying wheel 222 needs to be increased; if the detected value is lower than the set value, it means that the retraction amount is too small and the incoming material needs to be reduced in time. At this time, the tube delivery speed of the conveying wheel 222 needs to be reduced. The curvature detector 215 and the speed of the conveying wheel 222 form a closed-loop control to maintain dynamic balance.
[0100] The curvature of the second bend is kept under control by monitoring the high and low position of the second bend through the curvature detector 215 corresponding to the outlet 2112. If the detected value is higher than the set value, it means that the retraction amount is too large and the incoming material needs to be increased in time. At this time, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2134 needs to be increased; if the detected value is lower than the set value, it means that the retraction amount is too small and the incoming material needs to be reduced in time. At this time, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2134 needs to be reduced. The curvature detector 215 and the speed of the conveyor belt 2134 form a closed-loop control to maintain dynamic balance.

[0105] The traction device 4 of the present invention is provided with a second driving member 42, a traction structure 43 and an auxiliary traction assembly 44 on the base 41, and uses a second driving member 42 to simultaneously drive the traction structure 43 and the auxiliary traction assembly 44 to operate, and uses the traction channel 432a of the traction structure 43 and the auxiliary traction channel 44a of the auxiliary traction assembly 44 to simultaneously pull the heat shrink tube 8, thereby ensuring that the expanded heat shrink tube 8 is stably clamped and pulled out, avoiding the expansion instability caused by the clamping force being too loose and slipping or too tight and hindering the flow of gas in the tube, thereby causing a crash. The traction device 4 of the present invention not only stably clamps and pulls out the expanded heat shrink tube 8, avoiding the expansion instability caused by the clamping force being too loose and slipping or too tight and hindering the flow of gas in the tube, thereby causing a crash, but also can ensure that the heat shrink tube 8 has a stable and continuous traction force after it leaves the mold during expansion, so that the expansion is stable and defective products are reduced.

[0128] It can be understood that the second protective cover 446 is used to protect the two auxiliary traction wheels 443 and the auxiliary traction channel 44a. In this embodiment, the second protective cover 446 is a shell or box or cover structure, that is, the second protective cover 446 has a second cavity 4461. In order to facilitate the reeling of the heat shrink tube 8 in the auxiliary traction channel 44a, the second protective cover 446 is provided with a second notch 4462 connected to the second cavity 4461, so that the auxiliary traction wheel 443 is partially exposed in the second notch 4462, and the auxiliary traction channel 44a is correspondingly connected to the second notch 4462.

The output linear velocity of the auxiliary traction component 44 is slightly greater than the linear velocity of the traction structure 43, which can ensure that the heat shrink tube 8 is always in a taut state between the traction channel 432a and the auxiliary traction channel 44a. The auxiliary traction component 44 adjusts the gap (auxiliary traction channel 44a) between the two auxiliary traction wheels 443 by adjusting the screw. By adjusting the gap, a slight slip occurs between the heat shrink tube 8 and the two auxiliary traction wheels 443, which can ensure that the drawn heat shrink tube 8 is always in a taut state and avoid the stretching deformation of the heat shrink tube 8.

The structure of the limit plate 461 can be a plate-like structure, a mounting platform, a mounting frame or a mounting seat, etc., which is not limited here. It can be understood that the limit plate 461 can be set on the bottom plate of the base 41 by welding or integral molding, which can improve the installation stability. Of course, in other embodiments, the limit plate 461 can also be set on the bottom plate of the base 41 in a detachable manner such as a snap connection, plug-in fit, screw connection or pin connection, which can improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the tensioning assembly 46.
[0144] It can be understood that by providing the strip hole 462 on the limiting plate 461, the strip hole 462 is extended along the length direction of the limiting plate 461, so that the roller shaft 463 is passed through the strip hole 462, so that the roller shaft 463 is convenient to move along the strip hole 462, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the roller shaft 463. In this embodiment, the roller 464 is rotatably sleeved on the roller shaft 463 through the bearing structure, and the roller 464 is used to abut against the transmission belt 421. By adjusting the position of the roller shaft 463, the roller 464 can realize the compression or tensioning of the transmission belt 421, thereby ensuring the good transmission of the second driving member 42.
[0145] In this embodiment, a screw rod 465 is provided, and a screw hole is provided at one end of the roller shaft 463 extending into the strip hole 462, so that one end of the screw rod 465 penetrates the base 41 and the limiting plate 461 and extends into the strip hole 462, and is inserted into the screw hole, so that the roller shaft 463 is moved along the strip hole 462 by rotating the screw rod 465, so that the position of the roller shaft 463 can be adjusted. Of course, in other embodiments, the screw rod 465 can also be replaced by an adjustment cylinder or other adjustment structure, which is not limited here.
[0146] The traction device 4 of the present invention is provided with a traction structure 43, and the traction structure 43 is used to evenly and stably lead the heat shrink tube 8 out of the expansion mold 8. The crawler structure can ensure that sufficient traction is provided to the heat shrink tube 8 under a small extrusion deformation. The crawler 4321 adjusts the gap and adjusts the extrusion deformation according to the heat shrink tubes 8 of different specifications to provide appropriate traction. By providing an auxiliary traction component 44, the expanded heat shrink tube 8 is led out from the inside of the traction structure 43 to the outside for subsequent storage. The output linear velocity of the auxiliary traction assembly 44 is slightly greater than the linear velocity of the traction structure 43, which can ensure that the heat shrink tube 8 is always in a taut state between the traction channel 432a and the auxiliary traction channel 44a. The gap between the two auxiliary traction wheels 443 of the auxiliary traction assembly 44 is adjustable. By adjusting the gap, a slight slip occurs between the heat shrink tube 8 and the two auxiliary traction wheels 443, which can ensure that the drawn heat shrink tube 8 is always in a taut state and avoid the stretching deformation of the heat shrink tube 8. At the same time, the extrusion deformation of the tube is small, which also ensures that the compressed gas inside the heat shrink tube 8 flows well. The output shaft of the second driving member 42 is connected to the traction structure 43 and the auxiliary traction assembly 44 by using a transmission belt 421, ensuring that the traction structure 43 and the auxiliary traction assembly 44 are provided with stable power. The setting of the limit assembly 45 uses the limit groove 453 to limit the conveying position of the heat shrink tube 8, ensuring that the heat shrink tube 8 is transmitted in the center plane of the traction channel 432a and / or the auxiliary traction channel 44a, and preventing the heat shrink tube 8 from running off. It can be understood that by setting up the tensioning assembly 46, the roller shaft 463 is used to cooperate with the strip hole 462 and the screw 465 on the limit plate 461, so that the roller shaft 463 drives the roller 464 to press or tension the transmission belt 421 between the output shaft of the second driving member 42 and the traction structure 43 and / or the transmission belt 421 between the output shaft of the second driving member 42 and the auxiliary traction assembly 44, thereby ensuring smooth transmission.

The heat shrink tube 8 of the tube release roller 11 passes through the first detection groove 142 and abuts against the first guide wheel 143.
[0148] In this embodiment, the first base 12 is used to support, install and fix the first drive assembly 13 and the first tension assembly 14 and other components. The first base 12 can be a mounting plate, a mounting shell, a mounting table, a mounting frame and other structures, which are not limited here.

[0149] It can be understood that by providing the accommodating cavity 121 on the first base 12, it is convenient to use the accommodating cavity 121 to accommodate and install the two first transmission rollers 132 of the first driving assembly 13, and it can also provide space for the placement and rolling of the tube placing roller 11. The first driving motor 131 can be a structure that can provide driving force, such as a driving motor, a driving motor, a servo motor, etc., which is not limited here.
[0150] In this embodiment, two first transmission rollers 132 are arranged in parallel in the accommodating cavity 121 of the first base 12 at intervals, and the two first transmission rollers 132 are spaced to form a first transmission groove 133. It can be understood that the first transmission roller 132 is installed on the first base 12 through a bearing structure, and in order to prevent the first transmission roller 132 from causing wear on the tube release roller 11, a rubber-coated structure is provided on the first transmission roller 132.

[0153] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the tube collection structure 5 includes a second base 52, a second driving assembly 53, a second tension assembly 54 and a cable assembly 55. The second base 52 is provided with a receiving cavity 521. The second driving assembly 53 includes a second driving motor 531 provided on the second base 52 and two second driving rollers 532 connected to the second driving motor 531. The two second driving rollers 532 are rotatably provided in the receiving cavity 521 and cooperate to form a second transmission groove 533.

The second guide wheel 543 is provided on the second bracket 541 and corresponds to the second detection groove 542. The wire arrangement component 55 is provided on the second base 52. The wire arrangement component 55 is provided with a wire arrangement wheel 551 located between the tube receiving roller 51 and the second detection groove 542. The heat shrink tube 8 passes through the second guide wheel 543, the second detection groove 542 and the wire arrangement wheel 551 in sequence and is wound on the tube receiving roller 51.
[0154] In this embodiment, the second base 52 is used to support, install and fix the second drive assembly 53, the second tension assembly 54 and the cable assembly 55. The second base 52 can be a mounting plate, a mounting shell, a mounting table, a mounting frame and other structures, which are not limited here. Of course, in other embodiments, in order to make the structures of the second drive assembly 53, the second tension assembly 54 and the cable assembly 55 match, the second base 52 can also be a bracket structure or a gantry structure with a certain height difference, which is not limited here.
[0155] It can be understood that by providing the accommodating cavity 521 on the second base 52, it is convenient to utilize the accommodating cavity 521 to accommodate and install the two second transmission rollers 532 of the second driving assembly 53, and it can also provide space for the placement and rolling of the tube collecting roller 51. The second driving motor 531 can be a driving motor, a driving motor, a servo motor, etc., which can provide a driving force, and is not limited here.
[0156] In this embodiment, two second transmission rollers 532 are arranged in parallel in the accommodating cavity 521 of the second base 52, and the two second transmission rollers 532 are arranged in parallel to form a second transmission groove 533. It can be understood that the second transmission roller 532 is installed on the second base 52 through a bearing structure, and in order to prevent the second transmission roller 532 from wearing the tube collecting roller 51, a rubber-coated structure is provided on the second transmission roller 532. The two second transmission rollers 532 are connected to the second driving motor 531 through a belt, so that the two second transmission rollers 532 can be synchronously driven to rotate by the second driving motor 531, thereby driving the tube collecting roller 51 in the second transmission groove 533 to rotate to achieve tube collection.
[0157] It can be understood that by providing the second tension assembly 54, the second detection slot 542 is provided on the second bracket 541, so that the heat shrink tube 8 passing through the traction device 4 passes through the second detection slot 542, and the second detection slot 542 can be used to detect the height of the heat shrink tube 8, thereby adjusting the working condition of the second drive motor 531 to adjust the tube collection speed. By providing the second guide wheel 543 on the second bracket 541, the heat shrink tube 8 passing through the traction device 4 is guided by the second guide wheel 543 to prevent the heat shrink tube 8 from being bent or compressed and deformed.
[0158] In this embodiment, the cable arrangement assembly 55 is arranged on the second base 52, so that the cable arrangement wheel 551 of the cable arrangement assembly 55 can further guide and arrange the heat shrink tube 8, thereby preventing the heat shrink tube 8 wound on the tube roller 51 from being bent or compressed and deformed. Optionally, the cable arrangement assembly 55 can be a cable arrangement device, etc., which is not limited here.
[0159] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the processing equipment 100 also includes a caliper 6, which is arranged between the expansion mold 3 and the traction channel 432a. The caliper 6 is used to detect the diameter of the heat shrink tube 8 passing through the expansion mold 3.
[0160] It is understandable that by setting a caliper 6 at the outlet of the expansion mold 3, the outer diameter of the expanded finished heat shrink tube 8 can be monitored at any time by using the caliper 6. If the outer diameter does not meet the tolerance range required by the setting, the system will issue an alarm. Optionally, the caliper 6 can be a non-contact outer diameter detector.
[0161] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the processing equipment 100 also includes a speed meter 7, which is arranged between the outlet 2112 and the expansion mold 3, and is used to detect the conveying speed of the heat shrink tube 8 at the outlet 2112.
[0162] It can be understood that by setting a tachometer 7 at the inlet of the expansion mold 3, the tachometer 7 is used to detect the speed change of the inlet of the expansion mold 3, which can truly reflect the change of expansion and stretching. By automatically adjusting the speed of the heat shrink tube 8 entering the expansion mold 3, the expansion and stretching can be accurately controlled. The fluctuation of the expansion and stretching rate of the heat shrink tube 8 can be regarded as caused by the fluctuation of the speed difference of the heat shrink tube 8 entering and exiting the expansion mold 3, and the speed out of the expansion mold 3 is the linear speed of the motor output of the traction device 4, which can be regarded as constant. The speed of the inlet is the synthesis of the speed of the traction speed of the outlet after overcoming the resistance and the vacuum suction speed at the inlet. This synthetic speed is in dynamic change. By adjusting the vacuum degree, the speed of the inlet can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the expansion and stretching rate. Because the vacuum degree directly acts on the expansion mold 3, the response speed is fast, so the expansion and stretching rate can be accurately adjusted.
[0163] The processing equipment 100 of the present invention adds a lateral retraction mechanism 21 to the heating structure 21, and uses the retraction mechanism 21 to retract and shape the heat shrink tube 8 before it enters the expansion mold 3 for expansion, thereby eliminating the influence of the tensile deformation factors of each link before the heat shrink tube 8 is introduced on the change of the elongation rate of the expanded finished product.
[0164] It is understandable that the heat shrink tube 8 forms two free bends when passing through the retraction box 211, which enables the heat shrink tube 8 to fully retract freely between the two free bends in a highly elastic state to restore the consistency of the material itself. Due to the early deformation fluctuations of each section of the heat shrink tube 8, the retraction length fluctuates, and the length fluctuation directly affects the change in the shape of the two free bends. If the length fluctuates, the heat shrink tube 8 will become tight or sag and hit the wall, which directly affects the expansion. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the conveying speed in front of the free bend to ensure that the curvature fluctuates within a reasonable range, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the system.
[0165] The height of the free bend is detected by the curvature detector 215 (or the image observation instrument) and fed back to the automatic control system. When the curvature of the free bend 1 exceeds the set highest point, the conveying speed of the conveying wheel 222 is increased to make the free bend 1 descend to the set height range. When the curvature of the free bend 1 is lower than the set lowest point, the conveying speed of the conveying wheel 222 is reduced to make the free bend 1 rise to the set height range. When the curvature of the free bend 2 exceeds the set highest point, the conveying speed of the conveying assembly 213 is increased to make the free bend 2 descend to the set height range. When the curvature of the free bend 2 is lower than the set lowest point, the conveying speed of the conveying assembly 213 is reduced to make the free bend 2 rise to the set height range.

All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
