[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the coaxial cable 200 structure, from the outside to the inside, includes an outer insulation layer 201, a shielding layer 202, an inner insulation layer 203, and a conductor 204. Before processing, the ends of the coaxial cable 200 are flush. The end of the shielding layer 202 is flush with the end of the conductor 204. In some applications, connectors or other devices need to be installed at the ends of the coaxial cable 200. Before installation, the ends of the coaxial cable 200 need to be processed to fit the connectors and other devices. One such processing operation is as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the shielding layer 202 needs to be opened to form a certain angle with the inner insulating layer 203. This angle may be 60, 90, or 180 degrees depending on the actual needs of the application.
[0003] In commonly used processing methods, manual operation is usually employed, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient and difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale processing. Summary of the Invention
[0004] One of the objectives of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a coaxial cable processing device and a method for processing coaxial cables that can partially replace manual labor.

[0009] A first driving device drives the first clamping member and / or the second clamping member to make the first clamping part and the second clamping part move towards each other and away from each other along a straight line.
[0010] When the first clamping member and the second clamping member move towards each other to jointly clamp the shielding layer of the coaxial cable, the first clamping part and the second clamping part respectively surround a portion of the coaxial cable in the circumferential direction and apply radial pressure to the shielding layer to open it.
[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping portion includes a first contact segment, and the second clamping portion includes a second contact segment;
[0012] The first contact segment and the second contact segment respectively surround one or more half of the coaxial cable in the circumferential direction.
[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping portion further includes a first inlet section, the first inlet section extending continuously from both ends of the first contact section; the opening of the first inlet section is greater than or equal to the opening of the first contact section, and / or,
[0014] The second clamping part further includes a second inlet section, which extends continuously from the end of the second contact section. The coaxial cable enters the second contact section through the second inlet section. The second inlet section has one end connected to the second contact section and the other end located at the end of the second clamping member. The opening of the second inlet section is greater than or equal to the opening of the second contact section.
[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping portion has a first contact surface, the first contact surface being adapted to the shape of the coaxial cable shielding layer in the circumferential direction, the first contact surface being a selected width extending axially along the first clamping portion, and / or,

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the abutting member includes a first abutting tube and a second abutting tube. The first abutting tube is disposed inside the second abutting tube and is movably disposed relative to the second abutting tube. A first axial hole is disposed on the first abutting tube. The second abutting tube is provided with a second axial hole. When the first abutting tube and the second abutting tube move relative to each other, the first abutting tube can extend out of the second abutting tube or be completely disposed inside the second axial hole.
[0024] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a reset device is provided in the second axial hole. When the first abutting tube moves into the second axial hole, it abuts against the reset device, causing the reset device to generate an elastic force, which can reset the first abutting tube.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second abutment tube may be sleeved outside the outer insulation layer of the coaxial cable so that the shielding layer is opened to any position between 90 degrees and 180 degrees from its initial position.
[0028] A coaxial cable processing apparatus, characterized in that it comprises: a stop member having a first axial hole; the stop member is movable along the axial direction of the coaxial cable to be inserted between the shielding layer and the inner insulation layer of the coaxial cable; when the stop member moves along the coaxial cable, it abuts against the shielding layer to increase the angle between the shielding layer and the inner insulation layer.
[0029] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the abutting member includes a first abutting tube and a second abutting tube; the first axial hole is disposed on the first abutting tube; the second abutting tube is provided with a second axial hole; the first abutting tube is disposed in the second axial hole and is movably disposed relative to the second abutting tube.
[0030] When the first abutting tube and the second abutting tube move relative to each other, the first abutting tube may extend out of the second abutting tube or be completely inserted into the second axial hole.
[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first abutting tube is disposed against the outer insulation layer of the coaxial cable, so that the shielding layer is opened and forms a 90-degree angle with the inner insulation layer;
[0032] The second abutment tube can be sleeved outside the outer insulation layer of the coaxial cable so that the shielding layer opens to any position between 90 degrees and 180 degrees from its initial position.
[0033] A method for processing coaxial cables, characterized in that it includes:
[0034] A clamping member is provided for clamping a coaxial cable, the clamping member having a clamping portion that can surround the coaxial cable circumferentially;
[0035] The coaxial cable to be processed is placed in a predetermined position; one end of the coaxial cable is pre-treated to remove the outer insulation layer, and the shielding layer, inner insulation layer, and inner conductor are exposed in sequence;
[0036] Secure the coaxial cable;
[0037] The clamping member is driven to move linearly along the radial direction of the coaxial cable, causing the clamping part to surround the coaxial cable circumferentially and to press the shielding layer radially along the coaxial cable, causing the end of the shielding layer to open radially; and
[0038] Push the shielding layer along the axial direction of the coaxial cable to open the shielding layer and form a predetermined angle between 0 and 180 degrees with the inner insulation layer.
[0039] The coaxial cable processing apparatus and method of this invention involve a first clamping member and a second clamping member jointly clamping the shielding layer of the coaxial cable. This causes the shielding layer to open at a certain angle under pressure, allowing a resisting member to smoothly press against it. The resisting member presses against the shielding layer axially, thus opening the shielding layer to the required angle. The first and second clamping parts respectively encircle the coaxial cable circumferentially. The first and second clamping members only need to move in one direction without rotation to apply pressure to the entire circumferential direction of the shielding layer, making operation convenient. The first and second arc segments can be closed into a circular hole to adapt to the shape of the coaxial cable, further ensuring that the shielding layer is pressed and opened circumferentially. The first and second elliptical arc segments can also be closed into an elliptical hole, adapting to the shape of the coaxial cable to ensure that the shielding layer is pressed and opened circumferentially. The first clamping part has a first inlet section, and the second clamping part has a second inlet section, ensuring that the first clamping part of the first clamping member and the second clamping part of the second clamping member smoothly hold the coaxial cable. The opening of the first inlet section is larger than the opening of the first contact section, and the opening of the second inlet section is larger than the opening of the second contact section. This allows the first and second clamping members to more smoothly encircle the coaxial cable when moving towards it. The first and second contact surfaces are axially extending planes, increasing the contact area with the shielding layer and preventing damage. The presence of a first or second diffuser allows the shielding layer to open under pressure. The thickness of the first wedge is less than the thickness of the first body, and the thickness of the second wedge is less than the thickness of the second body, ensuring that the interlacing of the first and second wedges does not increase their total thickness or cause outward protrusion. The first and second clamping members are linked, making operation more convenient and the movement rhythm more consistent. The abutment allows the shielding layer to open at the required angle. The presence of a first and abutment tube provides more options for the opening angle of the shielding layer. The first abutment tube allows the shielding layer to open to a maximum of 90 degrees, making the shielding layer perpendicular to the insulation layer; the second abutment tube allows the shielding layer to open to a maximum of 180 degrees, causing the shielding layer to fold over and cover the surface of the outer insulation layer. A reset component is provided to allow the first abutment tube to automatically reset. The coaxial cable processing device in this invention can replace manual operation and has a high degree of automation. Attached Figure Description

[0060] like Figures 3 to 9 As shown, a coaxial cable processing apparatus 100 includes a first clamping member 110 and a second clamping member 130. The first clamping member 110 includes a first body 111 and a first wedge 112. The first body 111 and the first wedge 112 are integrally formed. The thickness of the first wedge 112 is less than the thickness of the first body 111. A first clamping portion 113 is provided at the side end of the first wedge 112. The first clamping portion 113 includes a first contact section 114 and a first inlet section 118. The first contact section 114 is used to contact the coaxial cable 200 and surrounds a portion of the coaxial cable 200 circumferentially. The shape of the first contact section 114 is adapted to the shape of the coaxial cable 200, preferably an arc or an elliptical arc. In the example shown, the projection of the first contact section 114 is an arc. The first contact segment 114 of the first clamping portion 113 has a first contact surface 115. The first contact surface 115 is adapted to the shape of the coaxial cable 200 in the circumferential direction. The first contact surface 115 extends a selected width along the axial direction of the first clamping portion 113. Extending the selected width can increase the contact area between the first contact surface 115 and the coaxial cable 200, preventing the first contact surface 115 from being too sharp and cutting the coaxial cable 200. The specific width value can be determined according to the actual use effect. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first contact segment 115 surrounds half or more of the coaxial cable 200 in the circumferential direction. The first wedge 112 of the first clamping member 110 has a first diffusion opening 116. The first diffusion opening 116 gradually increases in size from the first contact surface 115 along the axial direction of the first clamping portion 113 and extends to the end face 117 of the first clamping member. Or, the first diffusion opening 116 gradually contracts from the end face 117 of the first clamping member along the axial direction of the first clamping portion 113 until it reaches the first contact surface 115.
[0061] The first clamping part 113 also includes a first inlet section 118, which extends from the opening of the first contact section 114 and has an opening. The opening of the first inlet section 118 is larger than the opening of the first contact section 114. When the coaxial cable 200 moves relative to the first clamping member 110, the coaxial cable 200 enters through the opening of the first inlet section 118, passes through the first inlet section 118, and then enters the first contact section 114 through the opening of the first contact section 114.
[0062] like Figure 10As shown, the second clamping member 130 has the same structure as the first clamping member 110. The second clamping member 130 includes a second body 131 and a second wedge 132. The second body 131 and the second wedge 132 are integrally formed. The thickness of the second wedge 132 is less than the thickness of the second body 131. A second clamping portion 133 is provided at the side end of the second wedge 132. The second clamping portion 133 includes a second contact section 134 and a second inlet section 138. The second contact section 134 is used to contact the coaxial cable 200 and surrounds a portion of the coaxial cable 200 circumferentially. The shape of the second contact section 134 is adapted to the shape of the coaxial cable 200, preferably an arc or an elliptical arc. In the example shown, the projection of the second contact section 134 is an arc. The second contact segment 134 of the second clamping portion 133 has a second contact surface 135. The second contact surface 135 is adapted to the shape of the coaxial cable 200 in the circumferential direction. The second contact surface 135 extends a selected width along the axial direction of the second clamping portion 133. Extending the selected width can increase the contact area between the second contact surface 135 and the coaxial cable 200, preventing the second contact surface 135 from being too sharp and cutting the coaxial cable 200. The specific width value can be determined according to the actual use effect. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second contact segment 135 surrounds half or more of the coaxial cable 200 in the circumferential direction. The second wedge 132 of the second clamping member 130 has a second diffusion port 136. The second diffusion port 136 gradually increases in size from the second contact surface 135 along the axial direction of the second clamping portion 133 and extends to the end face 137 of the second clamping member. Or, the second diffusion port 136 gradually contracts from the end face 137 of the second clamping member along the axial direction of the second clamping portion 133 until it reaches the second contact surface 135.
[0063] The second clamping part 133 also includes a second inlet section 138. The second inlet section 138 extends from the opening of the second contact section 134 and has an opening. The opening of the second inlet section 138 is larger than the opening of the second contact section 134. When the coaxial cable 200 moves relative to the second clamping member 130, the coaxial cable 200 enters through the opening of the second inlet section 138, passes through the second inlet section 138, and then enters the second contact section 134 through the opening of the second contact section 134.
[0064] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the coaxial cable processing apparatus 100 of the present invention further includes a first driving device 150. The first driving device 150 is used to drive the first clamping member 110 and / or the second clamping member 130 to move towards each other and away from each other. There can be one or two first driving devices 150. When there is only one first driving device 150, the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 are linked together, meaning that the first driving device 150 can simultaneously drive the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 to move. According to the technical solution of the present invention, the first driving device 150 is a linear motor. The first driving device 150 is connected to the first body 112 of the first clamping member 110. The first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 are connected by two sets of connecting rods 151. Each set of connecting rods 151 includes a first connecting rod 152 and a second connecting rod 153. One end of the first connecting rod 152 is rotatably connected to the first clamping member 110, and the other end is connected to a pin 153. The pin 154 is partially disposed within a groove 156 on a mounting base 155 and can slide up and down along the groove 156. One end of the second connecting rod 153 is rotatably connected to the pin 154, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second clamping member 130. Through the two sets of connecting rods 151, the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 can be linked together, and the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 can move synchronously towards each other or away from each other. In the example shown, when the first driving device 150 drives the first clamping member 110 laterally toward the second clamping member 130, the two first connecting rods 152 are driven by the first clamping member 110 to push the two pins 154 to slide upward and downward respectively, moving away from each other. When the two pins 154 slide upward and downward respectively, the second clamping member 130 is pulled towards the first clamping member 110 through the second connecting rod 153, thereby causing the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 to move towards each other, that is, to move closer to each other. If the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 need to move away from each other, that is, to move away from each other, the first driving device 150 drives the first clamping member 110 to move away from the second clamping member 130. The two first connecting rods 152 are driven by the first clamping member 110 to move the two pins 154 downward and upward respectively, moving closer to each other. The two pins 154 push the second clamping member 130 away from the first clamping member 110 through the two second connecting rods 153 respectively.
[0065] like Figure 15As shown, the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 approach each other until they close together, with the first contact segment 114 and the second contact segment 134 respectively encircling half or more of the coaxial cable 200 circumferentially. The first contact segment 114 and the second contact segment 134 close together to form a circle, which can encircle the coaxial cable 200 360 degrees. The diameter of the circle formed by the first contact segment 114 and the second contact segment 134 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the shielding layer 202 of the coaxial cable 200. When the first contact segment 114 and the second contact segment 134 close together, pressure can be applied to the shielding layer 202. When subjected to pressure, the ends of the shielding layer 202 open outwards in an umbrella shape.
[0066] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the coaxial cable processing apparatus of the present invention further includes a stop member 160, which is used to abut against the shielding layer 202, causing the shielding layer 202 to open at a predetermined angle. In the example shown, the stop member 160 includes a first stop tube 161 and a second stop tube 165. The first stop tube 161 is provided with a first axial hole 162. The first axial hole 162 is used to accommodate a portion of the inner insulation layer 203 of the coaxial cable 200. Two shaft pins 163 are provided on the outer wall of the first stop tube 161. The shaft pins 163 protrude from the first stop tube 161. The two shaft pins 163 are symmetrically arranged. The second stop tube 165 is provided with a second axial hole 166. The second stop tube 165 is also provided with two sliding grooves 167 adapted to the shaft pins 163. The first stop tube 161 is partially inserted into the second axial hole 166 and partially protrudes out of the second axial hole 166, and can slide within the second axial hole 166. When the first abutment tube 161 slides along the second axial hole 166, it can be fully inserted into the second axial hole 166. Each pin 163 is located in one of the grooves 167 and can slide within the groove 167. The groove 167 cooperates with the pin 163, which can both guide the first abutment tube 161 when it slides and limit the sliding distance of the first abutment tube 161.
[0067] A compression spring 168 is disposed within the second axial hole 166. One end of the compression spring 168 abuts against the second abutment tube 165, and the other end abuts against the first abutment tube 161. When the first abutment tube 161 slides into the second axial hole 166, it abuts against the compression spring 168, causing it to deform and generate an elastic force. The elastic force of the compression spring 168 can reset the first abutment tube 161. The compression spring 168 helps the first abutment tube 161 to remain in its initial position. When the first abutment tube 161 is subjected to an external force greater than the holding force of the compression spring 168, the first abutment tube 161 deforms the compression spring 168 and retracts it into the second axial hole 166.
[0068] The coaxial cable processing apparatus of this invention further includes a second driving device 170 and a fixing device (not shown in the figure). The second driving device 170 is used to drive the abutment 160 to move toward the coaxial cable 200. The second driving device 170 is a cylinder or a motor. The fixing device is used to fix the main body of the coaxial cable 200, facilitating processing operations of other components. The mounting base 155 is provided with a through hole 157. The abutment 160 passes through the through hole 157. The coaxial cable 200 and the second driving device 170 are located on opposite sides of the mounting base 155. When the abutment 160 is driven to move by the second driving device 170, it passes through the through hole 157 and abuts against the coaxial cable 200.
[0069] When using the coaxial cable processing device of this invention, such as Figures 14 to 16 As shown, the fixing device 180 secures the coaxial cable 200. The first driving device 150 drives the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 to move towards each other to the position where the shielding layer 202 is clamped. The first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 130 apply pressure to the shielding layer 202, causing the shielding layer 202 to open at a certain angle so that the first abutting tube 161 can be inserted between the shielding layer 202 and the inner insulation layer 203. Figures 17 to 19 As shown, the second driving device 170 drives the second abutment tube 165 and the first abutment tube 161 to move axially toward the coaxial cable 200 until the inner insulation layer 203 is inserted into the first axial hole 162. The first abutment tube 161 is fitted onto the inner insulation layer 203 and inserted between the shielding layer 202 and the inner insulation layer 203. The first abutment tube 161 pushes the shielding layer 202 to open it to the required angle. When the first abutment tube 161 pushes against the outer insulation layer 201, the shielding layer 202 is pushed to an angle perpendicular to the inner insulation layer 203. Figure 20 As shown, when the first abutting tube 161 abuts against the outer insulating layer 201, the first abutting tube 210 cannot continue to move forward. If the second driving device 170 continues to drive the second abutting tube 165 to move, the first abutting tube 161 abuts against the compression spring 168 to compress it, and the first abutting tube 161 retracts into the second axial hole 166. The second abutting tube 166 continues to abut the shielding layer 202 until it is attached to the surface of the outer insulating layer 201.
[0070] The aforementioned coaxial cable processing device can be combined with other processing components to form a coaxial cable processing equipment, enabling further processing of coaxial cables.
[0071] As mentioned above, the present invention provides a method for processing coaxial cables, including the steps of: providing clamping members (110, 130) for clamping coaxial cables, wherein the clamping members (110, 130) are provided with clamping portions (113, 133) that can surround the coaxial cable 200 circumferentially.

[0074] The clamping members (110, 130) are driven to move linearly along the radial direction of the coaxial cable 200, causing the clamping parts (113, 133) to surround the coaxial cable 200 circumferentially and to press the shielding layer 202 radially along the coaxial cable 200, causing the end of the shielding layer 202 to open radially; and
[0075] Push the shielding layer 202 along the axial direction of the coaxial cable 200 to open the shielding layer 202 and form a predetermined angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees with the inner insulation layer.

[0077] The coaxial cable processing apparatus and method of this invention involve a first clamping member and a second clamping member jointly clamping the shielding layer of the coaxial cable. This causes the shielding layer to open at a certain angle under pressure, allowing a resisting member to smoothly press against it. The resisting member presses against the shielding layer axially, thus opening the shielding layer to the required angle. The first and second clamping parts respectively encircle the coaxial cable circumferentially. The first and second clamping members only need to move in one direction without rotation to apply pressure to the entire circumferential direction of the shielding layer, making operation convenient. The first and second arc segments can be closed into a circular hole to adapt to the shape of the coaxial cable, further ensuring that the shielding layer is pressed and opened circumferentially. The first and second elliptical arc segments can also be closed into an elliptical hole, adapting to the shape of the coaxial cable to ensure that the shielding layer is pressed and opened circumferentially. The first clamping part has a first inlet section, and the second clamping part has a second inlet section, ensuring that the first clamping part of the first clamping member and the second clamping part of the second clamping member smoothly hold the coaxial cable. The opening of the first inlet section is larger than the opening of the first contact section, and the opening of the second inlet section is larger than the opening of the second contact section. This allows the first and second clamping members to more smoothly encircle the coaxial cable when moving towards it. The first and second contact surfaces are axially extending planes, increasing the contact area with the shielding layer and preventing damage. The presence of a first or second diffuser allows the shielding layer to open under pressure. The thickness of the first wedge is less than the thickness of the first body, and the thickness of the second wedge is less than the thickness of the second body, ensuring that the interlacing of the first and second wedges does not increase their total thickness or cause outward protrusion. The first and second clamping members are linked, making operation more convenient and the movement rhythm more consistent. The abutment allows the shielding layer to open at the required angle. The presence of a first and abutment tube provides more options for the opening angle of the shielding layer. The first abutment tube allows the shielding layer to open to a maximum of 90 degrees, making the shielding layer perpendicular to the insulation layer; the second abutment tube allows the shielding layer to open to a maximum of 180 degrees, causing the shielding layer to fold over and cover the surface of the outer insulation layer. A reset component is provided to allow the first abutment tube to automatically reset. The coaxial cable processing device in this invention can replace manual operation and has a high degree of automation.
[0078] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements within the spirit of the present invention are covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
