Similarly, when the cable diameter becomes smaller, the spring will also drive the limit block, the movable tube and the rotating frame to move, and the cable can also be firmly squeezed between the two extrusion wheels to prevent the extrusion wheels from slipping, thereby completing the transmission. That is, the extrusion wheel can realize the change of adaptive cable diameter. When the cable diameter changes, it can automatically adjust to complete the transmission of the cable.

[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0028] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a transmission device for a cable according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the conveying device includes a traction component 1 and a conveying component 2.

[0029] The traction assembly 1 includes a first driving member 11 and a winch 12 . The output end of the first driving member 11 is in transmission connection with the winch 12 to drive the winch 12 to rotate.

[0030] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the transmission component provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the transmission assembly 2 includes a support frame 21, a rotating frame 22, at least one extrusion wheel group 23, a second driving member 24 and an adjusting member 25. The support frame 21 has a baffle 211 perpendicular to the cable 100. The extrusion wheel group 23 includes two extrusion wheels 231 arranged at intervals. The output end of the second driving member 24 and the two extrusion wheels 231 are driven by a gear transmission mechanism 26, so that the two extrusion wheels 231 are linked (the corresponding two extrusion wheels 231 rotate in opposite directions) to clamp the transmission cable 100. One extrusion wheel 231 is rotatably arranged on the support frame 21, and the rotation One end of the movable frame 22 is hinged to the support frame 21, and the other extrusion wheel 231 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the rotating frame 22. The adjusting member 25 includes a movable tube 251, a slider 252, a spring 253 and a limit block 254. The movable tube 251 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating frame 22, and the slider 252 is slidably inserted into one end of the movable tube 251. One end of the slider 252 is an arc surface, and after extending out of the movable tube 251, it abuts against the baffle 211. The limit block 254 is inserted in the other end of the movable tube 251, and the spring 253 is clamped between the slider 252 and the limit block 254.

[0031] In a cable transmission device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, when retrieving a cable 100, the cable 100 passes through two extrusion wheels 231. The second drive member 24 is driven via a gear transmission mechanism 26, thereby causing the two extrusion wheels 231 to work in conjunction with each other to clamp and transmit the cable 100. Furthermore, the output end of the first drive member 11 is in transmission connection with the capstan 12 to drive the capstan 12 to rotate, causing the cable 100 to be rewound around the capstan 12, thereby completing the cable winding.

[0032] Similarly, when the cable 100 is being transported, the first driving member 11 and the second driving member 24 drive the gear transmission mechanism 26 or the winch 12 to reverse, thereby transporting the cable 100 out of the winch 12 .

[0033] Furthermore, when the diameter of the cable 100 changes (due to a change in the model of the cable 100 or a difference in the diameter of the cable 100 itself), for example, when the diameter of the cable 100 increases, the position of the lower extrusion wheel 231 remains unchanged, while the upper extrusion wheel 231 is squeezed and rotated, thereby driving the rotating frame 22 to rotate (counterclockwise), causing the movable tube 251 and the limit block 254 to move leftward and upward relative to the block while rotating. At this time, since the slider 252 is limited by the baffle 211, the spring 253 is further compressed, and the reaction force generated by the spring 253 will drive the limit block 254, the movable tube 251 and the rotating frame 22 to have a tendency to move in the opposite direction, thereby firmly squeezing the cable 100 between the two extrusion wheels 231, preventing the extrusion wheels 231 from slipping, and completing the transmission. Similarly, when the diameter of the cable 100 decreases, the spring 253 will also drive the limit block 254, the movable tube 251, and the rotating frame 22 to move, similarly squeezing the cable 100 firmly between the two squeezing wheels 231, preventing the squeezing wheels 231 from slipping, and thus completing the transmission. In other words, the squeezing wheels 231 can adapt to changes in the diameter of the cable 100 and automatically adjust when the cable diameter changes to complete the transmission of the cable 100.

[0034] That is, the embodiment of the present invention provides a transmission device for cables, which can realize the change of the cable diameter of the adaptive cable 100 through the extrusion wheel 231. When the cable diameter changes, it can automatically adjust to achieve the transmission of the cable 100.

[0035] In addition, when the transmission device provided by the present invention realizes the change of the cable diameter of the adaptive cable 100, the elastic force provided by the spring 253 can also produce a buffering effect, which can prevent the squeezing wheel 231 from damaging the cable 100 during the squeezing process.

[0036] For example, the first driving member 11 and the second driving member 24 may be forward and reverse rotating motors.

[0037] It is easy to understand that the left end of the slider 252 is arc-shaped, which allows the slider 252 to move better when the movable tube 251 drives the slider 252 to rotate (at this time the slider 252 will move up or down relative to the baffle 211), thereby preventing the slider 252 from getting stuck.

[0038] It should be noted that the gear transmission mechanism 26 is disposed below the two extrusion wheels 231 and the cable 100 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the number of the extrusion wheel groups 23 can be two (or three, etc.), and the two extrusion wheel groups 23 serve as backup for each other, which not only improves the conveying force but also ensures the conveying of the cable 100 when one of the extrusion wheel groups 23 fails. In this case, the corresponding rotating frames 22 and adjusting members 25 are also two.

[0040] In this embodiment, the gear transmission mechanism 26 includes a driving gear 261, at least two mutually meshing transmission gears 262 and a driven gear 263. The driving gear 261 is coaxially arranged with one extrusion wheel 231 and is linked by a rotating shaft. The output end of the second driving member 24 is connected to the driving gear 261, and the two transmission gears 262 are respectively meshed with the driving gear 261 and the driven gear 263. The rotating shaft of one transmission gear 262 is coaxial with the hinge shaft of the rotating frame 22, and the driven gear 263 is coaxially arranged with the other extrusion wheel 231 and is linked by a rotating shaft.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the second driving member 24 drives the driving gear 261 to rotate, which in turn drives the two transmission gears 262 and the driven gear 263 to rotate, thereby driving the four extrusion wheels 231 to rotate simultaneously. In addition, by maintaining the upper transmission gear 262 coaxial with the hinge axis of the rotating frame 22, it is ensured that when the upper right extrusion wheel 231 changes diameter, it will drive the upper right driven gear 263 to rotate, and the driven gear 263 will always remain in meshing state with the upper transmission gear 262.

[0042] It is easy to understand that the gear transmission mechanism 26 provided by the present invention can ensure the linkage of multiple extrusion wheels 231, and the gear transmission mechanism 26 can still maintain an engaged state while the extrusion wheels 231 rotate, thereby achieving linkage.

[0043] For example, the number of the transmission gears 262 can be two or four, etc., without limitation. In other words, the gear transmission mechanism 26 can be adaptively designed according to the specific installation environment, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0044] Exemplarily, the rotating frame 22 is a V-shaped structure.

[0045] Figure 3: is a transmission schematic diagram of the forward transmission of the gear transmission mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 This is a transmission diagram of the reverse transmission of the gear transmission mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving gear 261, two transmission gears 262 and three driven gears 263 realize transmission, and the driving gear 261 and the three driven gears 263 are respectively linked to the corresponding extrusion wheels 231 through the rotating shaft.

[0046] See again Figure 2 The limiting block 254 is slidably arranged in the movable tube 251.

[0047] In the above embodiment, by adjusting the position of the limit block 254 on the movable tube 251, the initial compression amount of the spring 253 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the elastic force of the spring 253, and also adjusting the extrusion force of the extrusion wheel 231 during the diameter change process to avoid the extrusion force being too large or too small.

[0048] In one implementation of the present invention, the other end of the movable tube 251 is sealed by a block 255, and a screw 256 is inserted into the block 255. The screw 256 is coaxially arranged with the movable tube 251, and one end of the screw 256 is against the limit block 254 to drive the limit block 254 to slide.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the position of the limit block 254 can be adjusted by rotating the screw 256, thereby conveniently adjusting the initial compression amount of the spring 253.

[0050] Exemplarily, a nut 257 is sleeved on the screw 256, and one end of the nut 257 is against the block 255. By screwing the nut 257 so that the nut 257 and the block 255 are against each other, the screw 256 can be prevented from loosening and prevented from rotating accidentally.

[0051] In other embodiments of the present invention, the limiting block 254 may also be provided with a limiting screw that penetrates the wall thickness of the movable tube 251 to achieve lateral limiting.

[0052] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the extrusion wheel provided by the embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, a wheel rim 232 is fixedly provided on the outer peripheral wall of each extrusion wheel 231 to extrude the cable 100 .

[0053] In the above embodiment, the rim 232 is a non-metallic structure with suitable hardness and friction coefficient, which can effectively reduce the wear on the cable 100.

[0054] Exemplarily, the rim 232 is made of nitrile rubber with a hardness of HRC75.

[0055] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
