Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cables, and more specifically to an automatic cable repair device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of transforming copper wires into cables, extrusion machines are often used to extrude a plastic protective layer onto the outer surface of the copper wires. During the extrusion process, due to the varying viscosity of the extruded fluid plastic, the cable often shows signs of damage. Damage can usually be detected by a damage detector, but after detection, an alarm system will sound and call for workers to come. Workers then wrap the damaged area with insulation, which often wastes a lot of workers' time. Moreover, if the damage is long and the cable is moving too fast, it is often difficult for workers to protect the damaged area.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN201910928627.6 discloses a gluing and repair device for compensating for wire damage. The telescopic device of the present invention can adjust the distance between the injection molding device and the wire, thereby adapting to the repair of wires of different diameters. At the same time, the present invention can automatically apply glue to the damaged area without the need for manual identification of the broken position, thereby improving the degree of automation and the efficiency of gluing and repair.

[0004] This approach has the following drawbacks:

[0005] While this solution can repair the damaged area, the short distance between the inspection and repair positions results in insufficient heating time for the plastic granules, often leading to incomplete heating and difficulty in extrusion, thus failing to repair the cable.

[0006] If the distance is increased, the horizontal movement speed of the cable cannot be guaranteed, which often results in the cable already passing through the repair mechanism when it is being repaired, thus failing to achieve the desired cable repair effect. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] This automatic cable damage repair device allows for more accurate cable repair because the cable's movement speed remains constant on the guide drive frame, and the guide drive frame can accommodate a sufficient length of cable. The device detects the cable damage using a damage detector, and then a steering switching mechanism drives a bidirectional rotary drive mechanism upwards, causing the transmission mechanism to operate in the forward direction. This closes the repair mechanism and allows sufficient heating time for the liquid supply mechanism, ensuring the cable surface is repaired. The repair liquid then flows into the repair mechanism to repair the damaged area. Furthermore, the closing speed of the repair mechanism is linked to the movement speed of the cable driven by the guide drive frame, enabling the repair mechanism to accurately repair the damaged area.

[0021] The elastic adjustment seat serves two purposes: firstly, the sliding plate allows for easy installation of the repair mechanism; secondly, it provides sufficient buffer space for the repair mechanism to prevent jamming.

[0022] The liquid guiding mechanism achieves two effects: first, it can position and open the liquid supply mechanism, allowing the repair fluid to flow into the connecting pipe; second, it pours the liquid flowing into the connecting pipe into the repair mechanism; and third, it avoids direct contact between the liquid supply mechanism and the repair mechanism, reducing damage to the workpiece when they come into contact.

[0050] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are schematic diagrams, not actual images. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 14 An automatic cable damage repair device, as shown, includes a guide drive frame 2, a bidirectional rotary drive mechanism 3, a steering switching mechanism 4, a transmission mechanism 5, a synchronous movement mechanism 6, a liquid supply mechanism 7, a damage detector 10, a damage repair mechanism 9, and two elastic adjustment seats 8. The guide drive frame 2 is fixedly installed on the ground, and a rotating sleeve 2a is provided on the guide drive frame 2. The bidirectional rotary drive mechanism 3 is drivenly connected to the rotating sleeve 2a and is fixedly installed on the steering switching mechanism 4. A support platform for installing the steering switching mechanism 4 is provided on the guide drive frame 2, and the transmission mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the support platform and is drivenly connected to the bidirectional rotary drive mechanism 3. The synchronous movement mechanism 6... The synchronous moving mechanism 6 is connected to the transmission mechanism 5 and is fixedly mounted on the guide drive frame 2. Two elastic adjustment seats 8 are fixedly mounted on the upper and lower ends of the synchronous moving mechanism 6. The repair mechanism 9 is fixedly mounted on the two elastic adjustment seats 8. The liquid supply mechanism 7, which supplies glue to the inside of the repair mechanism 9, is fixedly mounted on the guide drive frame 2 via the frame. The liquid supply mechanism 7 is located above the repair mechanism 9. A rotatable cable 1 is wound on the guide drive frame 2. One end of the cable 1 passes through the damage detector 10 to detect the damage to the cable 1. The other end of the cable 1 passes through the repair mechanism 9. A liquid guiding mechanism 11 for connecting the elastic adjustment seats 8 and the repair mechanism 9 is fixedly installed on the frame.

[0053] The bidirectional rotary drive mechanism 3 includes an end face gear 3a, a mounting column 3c, a rotating connecting plate 3d, and two elastic transmission components 3b. The rotating connecting plate 3d is fixedly mounted on the steering switching mechanism 4. A guide hole is provided on the rotating connecting plate 3d for the mounting column 3c to pass through. The two elastic transmission components 3b are located on both sides of the rotating connecting plate 3d, and both elastic transmission components 3b are fixedly mounted on the mounting column 3c. The bottom of the mounting column 3c is connected to the transmission mechanism 5. The two elastic transmission components 3b are symmetrically arranged along the central cross-section of the rotating connecting plate 3d. Each elastic transmission component 3b includes a sliding gear 3b2 and a first abutment. A spring 3b3 and two positioning rings 3b1 are fixedly mounted on a mounting post 3c. One side of each positioning ring 3b1 is in contact with the rotating connecting plate 3d. A sliding gear 3b2 and a first abutting spring 3b3 are both located inside the two positioning rings 3b1. One side of the first abutting spring 3b3 is in contact with the positioning ring 3b1, and the other side is in contact with the sliding gear 3b2. An end face gear 3a is fixedly mounted on a rotating sleeve 2a. The sliding gear 3b2 is meshed with the end face gear 3a. A locking strip is provided on the mounting post 3c to slide and engage with the sliding gear 3b2. A slot is provided on the sliding gear 3b2 to engage with the locking strip. When the damage detector 10 detects damage, it transmits a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the steering switching mechanism 4 to operate, causing the steering switching mechanism 4 to push the rotating connecting plate 3d upward. Initially, a sliding gear 3b2 meshes with the upper end face of the end face gear 3a, causing the end face gear 3a to rotate and drive the sliding gear 3b2 to rotate. This causes the sliding gear 3b2 to drive the mounting column 3c to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the transmission mechanism 5 to work in the forward direction. This closes the repair mechanism 9 and repairs the damaged area. Simultaneously with the closure of the repair mechanism 9, the controller controls the steering switching mechanism 4 to reset, preventing the synchronous movement mechanism 6 from moving.

[0054] When the damage detector 10 performs the detection, the length of the damage is different each time, so the time for the damage detector 10 to detect the damage is different. The damage detector 10 will transmit the time to the controller. The controller will start timing after the damage repair mechanism 9 is closed. After the time for the damage detected by the damage detector 10 is completed, the controller will control the steering switching mechanism 4 to drive the rotating connecting plate 3d to move upward, so that another sliding gear 3b2 meshes with the end face gear 3a. The sliding gear 3b2 drives the mounting column 3c to rotate counterclockwise. Through the locking strip and the locking groove, the sliding gear 3b2 can slide on the mounting column 3c. When the sliding gear 3b2 rotates, it can drive the mounting column 3c to rotate.

[0055] By using the steering switching mechanism 4 to drive the bidirectional rotary drive mechanism 3, the closing time of the repair mechanism 9 is connected to the rotation speed of the rotating sleeve 2a, thus avoiding the time it takes for the cable 1 to reach the repair mechanism 9 due to changes in the speed of the guide drive frame 2, making the repair of the cable 1 more accurate.

[0056] If the damage detector 10 is installed at the end of the cable 1, the repair mechanism 9 will immediately shut down after the damage detector 10 detects damage. However, this method will lack the internal heating time of the liquid supply mechanism 7, making it impossible for the liquid supply mechanism 7 to melt. If the distance between the damage detector 10 and the repair mechanism 9 is increased, the speed at which the cable 1 is pulled will be uncertain, which will affect the time it takes for the cable 1 to reach the repair mechanism 9. This will cause errors in the repair of the cable 1, because the cable 1 only moves relatively evenly on the guide drive frame 2, and the speed of the cable 1 changes with the speed of the guide drive frame 2.

[0057] The steering switching mechanism 4 includes a support tube 4a and an electric slide 4b. A rotating connecting plate 3d is fixedly mounted on the support tube 4a, and the support tube 4a is fixedly mounted on the electric slide 4b, which is fixedly mounted on the support platform. By controlling the movement of the electric slide 4b through a controller, the electric slide 4b will drive the rotating connecting plate 3d to move up and down, thus allowing the steering of the bidirectional rotary drive mechanism 3 to be switched.

[0058] The transmission mechanism 5 includes a transmission gear 5a, a fixed gear 5b, a transmission shaft 5d, a support shaft 5e, a rotating shaft seat 5f, and two pulleys 5c. The fixed gear 5b is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting column 3c. The transmission gear 5a is fixedly installed on the support shaft 5e. The bottom of the support shaft 5e is inserted into the rotating shaft seat 5f. The bottom of the rotating shaft seat 5f is provided with a booster tube connected to the support platform. One pulley 5c is fixedly installed at the top of the support shaft 5e, and the other pulley 5c is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 5d. The two pulleys 5c are connected by a belt drive. The frame is provided with a rotating seat for the transmission shaft 5d to rotate. The transmission shaft 5d is rotatably connected to the rotating seat. Rotating the mounting post 3c causes the mounting post 3c to drive the fixed gear 5b to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear 5a to rotate. The transmission gear 5a then drives the support shaft 5e to rotate, causing the support shaft 5e to drive one pulley 5c to rotate. One pulley 5c drives another pulley 5c to rotate via a belt, and the other pulley 5c drives the synchronous moving mechanism 6 to move via the transmission shaft 5d. When the fixed gear 5b moves downward, it slides along the transmission gear 5a.

[0059] The synchronous moving mechanism 6 includes two slide rails 6a, a riser plate 6c, a mounting base 6d, a ball screw 6e, and four slide blocks 6b. The two riser plates 6c are fixedly mounted on the frame, and the two slide rails 6a are fixedly mounted on the two riser plates 6c. Each pair of slide blocks 6b are slidably mounted on one slide rail 6a. The mounting base 6d is fixedly mounted on one slide block 6b on the two slide rails 6a. The two ball screws 6e are located between the two riser plates 6c, and the slide blocks on the two ball screws 6e are fixedly connected to the two mounting bases 6d. The screws on the two ball screws 6e are fixedly connected by a coupling. One end of one ball screw 6e is connected to the drive shaft 5d by a coupling. Two elastic adjusting seats 8 are fixedly mounted on the two mounting bases 6d respectively, and the two elastic adjusting seats 8 are located inside the two mounting bases 6d. The rotation of the drive shaft 5d will cause the two ball screws 6e to move, which in turn will cause the two mounting seats 6d to move closer or further apart. When the two mounting seats 6d move closer, they will cause the repair mechanism 9 to close, so that the repair mechanism 9 can repair the cable defect. When the two mounting seats 6d move further apart, the repair mechanism 9 will open, so that it does not come into contact with the cable 1.

[0060] When the diameter of cable 1 changes, only the damage repair mechanism 9 needs to be replaced; there is no need to change the structure of the synchronous moving mechanism 6.

[0061] The liquid supply mechanism 7 includes a heating box 7a, a first liquid guiding bend 7b, a support plate 7c, a first sealing gate 7d, a squeezing plate 7e, a counterweight 7h, and a handle 7i. The heating box 7a is fixedly installed on the frame. The squeezing plate 7e is located inside the heating box 7a and is used to squeeze the repair liquid inside the heating box 7a. The counterweight 7h is fixedly installed on the top of the squeezing plate 7e. The handle 7i is fixedly installed on the counterweight 7h. A liquid outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the heating box 7a. One end of the first liquid guiding bend 7b is inserted into the liquid outlet pipe, and the other end of the first liquid guiding bend 7b is fixedly installed on the support plate 7c. The support plate 7c is fixedly installed on the mounting base 6d. The first sealing gate 7d, which is used to open and close the first liquid guiding bend 7b, is fixedly installed on the mounting base 6d, and the first liquid guiding bend 7b is fixedly installed on the first sealing gate 7d. When the two mounting bases 6d approach each other, the mounting bases 6d will drive the first liquid guiding pipe 7b to move downward through the support plate 7c, causing the first sealing gate 7d to move downward as well. At the same time as the first liquid guiding pipe 7b moves downward, the controller will control the heating box 7a to work, so that the heating box 7a heats the viscous liquid inside, making the liquid easier to flow. When it descends to the point where the first sealing gate 7d contacts the connecting pipe 11b, the connecting pipe 11b will abut against the first sealing gate 7d, causing the first sealing gate 7d to open automatically, and the first liquid guiding pipe 7b will automatically cooperate with the connecting pipe 11b.

[0062] The liquid guiding mechanism 11 includes a second sealing gate 11a, a connecting pipe 11b, and an installation pipe 11c. The installation pipe 11c is fixedly installed on the frame, and the connecting pipe 11b is fixedly installed on the second sealing gate 11a. The second sealing gate 11a, which covers one end of the connecting pipe 11b, is fixedly installed on the installation pipe 11c. The second sealing gate 11a has the same structure as the first sealing gate 7d, and the second sealing gate 11a and the first sealing gate 7d are in opposite directions. During the process of the first liquid guiding bend 7b engaging with the end of the connecting pipe 11b, in order to prevent liquid from flowing out from the lower half of the circular end of the connecting pipe 11b, the end of the connecting pipe 11b is blocked by the second sealing gate 11a. When the connecting pipe 11b and the first liquid guiding bend 7b are fully engaged, the second sealing gate 11a is in a fully open state. Alternatively, the connecting pipe 11b can be set to a downward inclined state, which reduces the need for the second sealing gate 11a compared to a horizontal state, thus saving costs. However, the inclined structure of the connecting pipe 11b has high processing costs and is difficult to assemble.

[0063] The first sealing gate 7d includes a vertical plate 7d1, a flat plate 7d2, a lower connecting plate 7d4, a sealing cover plate 7d5, two guide pillars 7d3, a positioning circular plate 7d7, and a second abutment spring 7d6. The vertical plate 7d1 is vertically fixed on the mounting base 6d. The flat plate 7d2 is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical plate 7d1. One end of each guide pillar 7d3 passes through the flat plate 7d2, and the other end of each guide pillar 7d3 is fixedly installed on the lower connecting plate 7d4. The sealing cover plate 7d5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lower connecting plate 7d4. The two positioning circular plates 7d7 are respectively fixedly installed on the tops of the two guide pillars 7d3. The two second abutment springs 7d6 are respectively sleeved on the two guide pillars 7d3. One end of each second abutment spring 7d6 abuts against the flat plate 7d2, and the other end abuts against the lower connecting plate 7d4. When the first liquid guide bend 7b moves downward, the connecting pipe 11b blocks the sealing cover 7d5, causing the lower connecting plate 7d4 to compress the second abutment spring 7d6, so that the sealing cover 7d5 no longer covers the end of the first liquid guide bend 7b, allowing the liquid to flow into the connecting pipe 11b.

[0064] The repair mechanism 9 includes an arc-shaped heating plate 9d, a second liquid guiding bend 9e, a liquid guiding straight pipe 9f, two arc-shaped pressure pipes 9a, an arc-shaped extension plate 9b, an arc-shaped sealing cap 9c, and a CC-shaped clamping plate 9h. The two CC-shaped clamping plates 9h are fixedly installed on the two arc-shaped pressure pipes 9a. The two arc-shaped extension plates 9b are respectively fixedly installed on one end of the two arc-shaped pressure pipes 9a. The two arc-shaped sealing caps 9c are respectively placed on the two arc-shaped extension plates 9b, and the two arc-shaped sealing caps 9c are respectively fixedly connected to the two arc-shaped extension plates 9b. The arc-shaped sealing caps 9c have openings that connect directly to the cable 1. An arc-shaped notch with equal diameter is provided. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped pressure tube 9a is equal to the diameter of the cable 1. The arc-shaped heating plate 9d is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped heating plate 9d located below the cable 1. One end of the second liquid guiding bend 9e is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped extension plate 9b located above the cable 1. The arc-shaped extension plate 9b has a perforation for liquid to flow through. The liquid guiding straight tube 9f is fixedly installed on the second liquid guiding bend 9e. The liquid guiding straight tube 9f is connected to the inside of the second liquid guiding bend 9e. Each CC-shaped clamping plate 9h has a clamping block 9i fixedly installed on both sides to engage with the elastic adjustment seat 8. The solution flowing out from the connecting pipe 11b will enter the annular area formed by the two arc-shaped sealing caps 9c and the arc-shaped extension plate 9b along the straight liquid guide pipe 9f and the second liquid guide bend pipe 9e. After the damaged cable 1 enters the annular area, the solution will flow into the damaged area, filling the damaged area with solution and repairing the damaged area of ​​the cable 1. Then, the excess solution at the damaged area is blocked by the arc-shaped pressure pipe 9a, so that the cable 1 that passes through the arc-shaped pressure pipe 9a will be repaired and the surface will be smooth and flat.

[0065] Each elastic adjustment seat 8 includes a mounting plate 8a, a telescopic tube 8c, a third abutting spring 8d, an abutting circular plate 8e, and two sliding plates 8b. The mounting plate 8a is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 6d, and the two sliding plates 8b are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 8a. The CC-shaped locking plate 9h is located inside the two sliding plates 8b, and the two sides of the CC-shaped locking plate 9h are in contact with the inner walls of the two guide grooves 8b1. Each sliding plate 8b is provided with a guide groove 8b1 for the locking block 9i to slide. One end of the telescopic tube 8c is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 8a, and the abutting circular plate 8e is fixedly mounted on the other end of the telescopic tube 8c. The third abutting spring 8d is sleeved on the telescopic tube 8c, and one end of the third abutting spring 8d abuts against the abutting circular plate 8e, and the other end abuts against the mounting plate 8a. The slide plate 8b is made of flexible plastic. When replacing the repair mechanism 9, simply bend the two slide plates 8b to increase the angle between them, allowing the two locking blocks 9i to pass through the two slide plates 8b and engage with the two guide grooves 8b1. The contact plate 8e will then contact the CC-shaped locking plate 9h, and the CC-shaped locking plate 9h will be positioned by the contact action of the third contact spring 8d. If the diameter of the cable 1 is uneven, the cable 1 will push the arc-shaped pressure tube 9a, allowing the repair mechanism 9 to slide up and down on the slide plate 8b, thus preventing the cable 1 from getting stuck between the cable 1 and the arc-shaped pressure tube 9a.

[0066] Working principle: When the damage detector 10 detects damage, it sends a signal to the controller, which then controls the electric slide 4b to move, causing it to push the rotating connecting plate 3d upward. Initially, a sliding gear 3b2 meshes with the upper end face of the end face gear 3a, causing the end face gear 3a to rotate and drive the sliding gear 3b2 to rotate. This causes the sliding gear 3b2 to drive the mounting column 3c to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the mounting column 3c causes the mounting column 3c to drive the fixed gear 5b to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear 5a to rotate. The transmission gear 5a then drives the support shaft 5e to rotate, causing the support shaft 5e to drive a pulley 5c to rotate. The pulley 5c then drives another pulley 5c to rotate via a belt. The other pulley 5c then drives the synchronous moving mechanism 6 to move via the transmission shaft 5d. When the fixed gear 5b moves downward, it slides along the transmission gear 5a.

[0067] The rotation of the drive shaft 5d will cause the two ball screws 6e to move, and the two ball screws 6e will simultaneously drive the two mounting seats 6d to move closer to each other. When the two mounting seats 6d move closer to each other, the two mounting seats 6d will drive the damage repair mechanism 9 to close.

[0068] When the two mounting bases 6d approach each other, the mounting base 6d will drive the first liquid guiding pipe 7b to move downward through the support plate 7c, so that the first sealing gate 7d moves downward together. At the same time as the first liquid guiding pipe 7b moves downward, the controller will control the heating box 7a to work, so that the heating box 7a heats the viscous liquid inside, making the liquid easier to flow. When it descends to the point where the first sealing gate 7d contacts the connecting pipe 11b, the connecting pipe 11b will abut against the first sealing gate 7d, so that the first sealing gate 7d opens automatically, and the first liquid guiding pipe 7b will automatically cooperate with the connecting pipe 11b.

[0069] The solution flowing out from the connecting pipe 11b will enter the annular area formed by the two arc-shaped sealing caps 9c and the arc-shaped extension plate 9b along the straight liquid guide pipe 9f and the second liquid guide bend pipe 9e. After the damaged cable 1 enters the annular area, the solution will flow into the damaged area, filling the damaged area with solution and repairing the damaged area of ​​the cable 1. Then, the excess solution at the damaged area is blocked by the arc-shaped pressure pipe 9a, so that the cable 1 that passes through the arc-shaped pressure pipe 9a will be repaired and the surface will be smooth and flat.

[0070] After the two arc-shaped pressure tubes 9a are put together, the controller will reset the control steering switching mechanism 4, so that the sliding gear 3b2 is disengaged from the end face gear 3a, so that the synchronous movement mechanism 6 does not move at all.

[0071] When the damage detector 10 performs its detection, the length of the damage varies each time, resulting in different detection times. The damage detector 10 transmits this time to the controller, which starts timing after the repair mechanism 9 closes. After the damage time detected by the damage detector 10 is completed, the controller controls the steering switching mechanism 4 to move the rotating connecting plate 3d upwards, causing another sliding gear 3b2 to mesh with the end face gear 3a. The sliding gear 3b2 drives the mounting column 3c to rotate counterclockwise. Through the locking strip and slot, the sliding gear 3b2 can slide on the mounting column 3c. When the sliding gear 3b2 rotates, it drives the mounting column 3c to rotate, causing the transmission mechanism 5 to work in the opposite direction. This causes the two arc-shaped pressure tubes 9a on the two repair mechanisms 9 to move away from each other, and the controller controls the heating box 7a to stop heating. The equipment is then reset and ready for the next repair.
