[0038] As Figure 8The first bending part 404 is a downward U-shaped structure with an opening, and a first roller 405 connected with the cable in rolling is arranged at the opening of the first bending part 404. The number of the first rollers 405 is set according to the number of the cable core wires. In the embodiment, the number of the first rollers 405 is set to two. The opening part of the first bending part 404 is provided with a limiting part 4041 for preventing the cable from moving.

[0040] As Figures 1-2The back of the rack 2 is provided with a position sensor 8 and a third linear driving mechanism 9 for driving the position sensor 8 to slide towards or away from one side of the rack 2. The length of the cable insertion can be positioned by the position sensor 8, and the length of the to-be-bent part can be accurately controlled. The position sensor 8 is a prior art, and the third linear driving mechanism 9 is any one of a gas cylinder, a lead screw motor, etc. In this embodiment, the third linear driving mechanism 9 is a gas cylinder. The top end of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a supporting platform 14, and the top end of the supporting platform 14 is movably provided with a sliding plate 12. The sliding plate 12 and the supporting platform 14 are slidably connected through sliding rails and sliding grooves. The third linear driving mechanism 9 is installed on one side of the top end of the sliding plate 12. The supporting platform 14 has a certain height, so that the position sensor 8 is flush with the height of the cable. The other side of the sliding plate 12 is provided with a second bending part 11 through a fourth linear driving mechanism 10. The fourth linear driving mechanism 10 is used to drive the second bending part 11 to move towards or away from one side of the rack 2, so as to perform secondary bending on the cable after bending. The fourth linear driving mechanism 10 is any one of a gas cylinder, a lead screw motor, etc. In this embodiment, the fourth linear driving mechanism 10 is a gas cylinder. The top end of the supporting platform 14 is provided with a fifth linear driving mechanism 13 for pushing the sliding plate 12 to slide back and forth on the top end of the supporting platform 14. The position sensor 8 or the second bending part 11 is moved to the bending mechanism 4 for measurement or secondary bending, respectively. The fifth linear driving mechanism 13 is any one of a gas cylinder, a lead screw motor, etc. In this embodiment, the fifth linear driving mechanism 13 is a gas cylinder. The bottom end of the back of the clamping part 601 is provided with an inclined downward guide slope 6012, which is inclined by about 10° towards the front end face of the clamping part 601. When the second bending part 11 performs secondary extrusion on the cable, the cable is matched with the guide slope 6012, so as to ensure that the cable is bent to 90°. Through the second bending part 11, the cable can be bent twice after bending, and the cable bending forming effect is better. One end of the second bending part 11 close to the bending mechanism 4 is provided with a second roller 1101 in rolling connection with the cable. The second roller 1101 is rotatably connected with the second bending part 11 through a rotating shaft, so as to reduce the friction with the cable and reduce the wear of the cable.

[0041] As Figure 1 The bottom end of the supporting platform 14 is provided with a U-shaped frame 15 which is slidably arranged on the bottom plate 1 and adjustably connected with the bottom plate 1 through an adjusting bolt 16. The length of the adjusting bolt 16 is arranged along the direction close to or away from the rack 2, so as to adjust the position of the supporting platform 14 before assembly. Meanwhile, the adjusting bolt 16 can be suitable for cables of different lengths;

[0042] The first linear driving mechanism 3 can be any one of a screw rod motor, a cylinder, etc. In this embodiment, the first linear driving mechanism 3 is a screw rod motor, which has higher position accuracy. The screw rod motor is installed at the top end of the bottom plate 1 and is located below the support platform 14, and is used to drive the rack 2 to slide forward and backward, so as to adjust the relative position of the bending mechanism 4 and the cable, that is, to adjust the position of the cable bending point, to determine the length of the cable bending part, and to meet different installation requirements.

[0043] Working principle: In the initial state, the position sensor 8 is located on the left side of the top end of the support platform 14. When working, the slide plate 12 is first pushed to slide rightward on the top end of the support platform 14 by the fifth linear driving mechanism 13, so that the position sensor 8 is moved to the back of the cable. The distance between the position sensor 8 and the cable is adjusted by the third linear driving mechanism 9 to measure the cable. Then the cable is sequentially inserted into the clamping and fixing mechanism 7 and the guiding and clamping exit mechanism 6. The clamping and fixing mechanism 7 is used to clamp and fix the cable, and the guiding and clamping exit mechanism 6 is used to gather the core wires branched from the cable, so that the end of the cable abuts against the position sensor 8. Then the rack 2 is driven to slide forward and backward on the top end of the bottom plate 1 by the first linear driving mechanism 3, so that the bending mechanism 4 slides along the length direction of the cable to determine the position of the bending point. During the bending operation, the driving plate 401 is driven to slide downward by the second linear driving mechanism 5, and the first and second fixed blocks 402 and 4011 are simultaneously moved downward by the driving plate 401. The first fixed block 402 compresses the first elastic connecting piece 406 downward, and the first elastic connecting piece 406 pushes the first bending part 404 to slide downward. The second fixed block 4011 compresses the second elastic connecting piece 408 downward, and the second elastic connecting piece 408 pushes the pressing plate 409 to slide downward, so as to press the cable on the step 6011. Since the second elastic connecting piece 408 has a certain deformation amount, the driving plate 401 can be continuously pushed downward to drive the first bending part 404 to move downward, so as to bend the cable perpendicularly by 90 degrees. At the same time, the third linear driving mechanism 9 is retracted, the slide plate 12 is moved rightward by the fifth linear driving mechanism 13, the second bending part 11 is pushed to the back of the cable, and the fourth linear driving mechanism 10 pushes the second bending part 11 to move toward the cable, so that the cable is tightly fitted with the guiding inclined surface 6012, and the cable is bent again to ensure that the cable is bent by 90 degrees, and the forming effect is better.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] As Figure 9The embodiment is different from the embodiment in that the second roller 1101 is in sliding connection with the second bending part 11 in a direction close to or away from the cable, specifically, the second roller 1101 is in rotary connection with the front end of the second roller 1101 through a rotating shaft, and the connecting part of the second bending part 11 and the rotating shaft is a waist-shaped hole, the rotating shaft can slide in the waist-shaped hole, the end of the second bending part 11 close to the second roller 1101 is provided with a groove, the groove is provided with a third elastic supporting piece 1102 inside, the third elastic supporting piece 1102 can be a spring, and the end of the third elastic supporting piece 1102 close to the second roller 1101 is provided with a top rod 1103, the top rod 1103 is in abutment with the outer side wall of the second roller 1101, when the cable is bent, the third elastic supporting piece 1102 drives the second roller 1101 to slide forward and backward through the top rod 1103, the cable is flexibly pressed, and damage of the cable caused by hard clamping is avoided.

[0046] It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the application is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but that the application can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the application.
