Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of network cable production equipment technology, specifically to a fully automatic cable laying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the production process of finished network cables, the network cables from the cable rolls are first cut to equal lengths manually. Next, the insulation from both ends of each cut cable is stripped manually. Then, the cut and stripped cables are wound manually, and finally, the wound cables are bundled with cable ties manually. However, because the equal-length cutting and insulation stripping are done manually, there is a significant error in the length of each cable. This process also suffers from high labor intensity and low efficiency. Furthermore, since the winding and bundling are also done manually, the same drawbacks exist: high labor intensity and low production efficiency for finished network cables. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The following drawings disclose several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many practical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not intended to limit the invention. That is, in some embodiments of the invention, these practical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.

[0030] Furthermore, in this invention, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and does not specifically refer to any order or sequence, nor is it intended to limit the invention. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described using the same technical terms, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination should be considered nonexistent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0031] like Figure 1-13As shown, the fully automatic cable laying machine of the present invention includes a frame 1, a cable feeding mechanism 2, a winding mechanism 3, and a cable tie binding mechanism 4. The cable feeding mechanism 2, the winding mechanism 3, and the cable tie binding mechanism 4 are connected to the frame 1 from left to right. The cable feeding mechanism 2 is used to feed the network cable of equal length with both ends stripped of their insulation to the winding mechanism 3. The winding mechanism 3 is used to wind the network cable from the cable feeding mechanism 2. The cable tie binding mechanism 4 is used to obtain the network cable wound by the winding mechanism 3 and bind the wound network cable with cable ties.

[0032] The cable feeding mechanism 2 includes a wire stripping and cutting unit 21 and a traction unit 22, both of which are fixed on the frame 1. The wire stripping and cutting unit 21 is used to strip the insulation from the end of the network cable and to cut the network cable. The traction unit 22 is used to clamp the end of the network cable and to pull the network cable. The traction unit 22 includes a first servo cylinder 221, a second servo cylinder 222, and a gripper assembly 223. The first servo cylinder 221 is horizontally fixed on the frame 1 and is used to drive the second servo cylinder 222 to move left and right. The second servo cylinder 222 is vertically fixed on the drive end of the first servo cylinder 221 and is used to drive the gripper assembly 223 to move vertically. The gripper assembly 223 is fixed on the drive end of the second servo cylinder 222. By adopting this wire feeding mechanism, the wire feeding mechanism can automatically cut the wires from the wire roll into equal lengths and can automatically peel off the insulation at both ends of each cut wire, thereby eliminating manual labor to improve production efficiency and ensuring that each cut wire is of equal length to improve product quality.

[0033] When the cable feeding mechanism is in operation, firstly, the first servo cylinder drives the second servo cylinder and the gripper assembly to move to the left and reset. Then, the second servo cylinder drives the gripper assembly to move downwards and reset. Next, the gripper assembly clamps the end of the network cable from the cable reel. Then, the first servo cylinder drives the second servo cylinder and the gripper assembly to move to the right a certain distance so that the end of the network cable enters the stripping and cutting unit. Then, the stripping blades in the stripping and cutting unit clamp the sheath on one end of the network cable. Then, the first servo cylinder drives the second servo cylinder and the gripper assembly to move to the left and reset. At this point, the sheath at one end of the network cable can be stripped. Then, the stripping blades in the stripping and cutting unit reset. Immediately afterwards, the first servo cylinder drives the second servo cylinder and the gripper assembly to move to the right so that the network cable is pulled out of the cable reel to the required length (the cable reel is placed on a feeding rack). When the cylinder pulls the wire (the wire passes through the wire stripping and cutting unit), the cutting blades in the wire stripping and cutting unit then cut the wire. After the wire is cut, the wire stripping blades in the wire stripping and cutting unit can clamp the wire sheath on the other end of the wire. Then, the first servo electric cylinder drives the second servo electric cylinder and the gripper assembly to move to the right. At this time, the wire sheath on the other end of the wire can be stripped off. At the same time, the wire with the cut and stripped wire sheath can be pulled out into the winding mechanism. In addition, it should be noted that the above-mentioned wire stripping and cutting unit is an existing device or mechanism on the market, such as a wire cutting tool disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216705790U, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here. In addition, the above-mentioned gripper assembly is also an existing device or mechanism on the market and is prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The winding mechanism 3 includes a wire winding unit 5 and a wire lifting unit 6, both of which are connected to the frame 1. The wire winding unit 5 is used to wind the wire. While the wire winding unit 5 is winding the wire, the wire lifting unit 6 is used to gradually lift the wire to be wound so that the wire winding unit 5 winds the wire into a spiral shape. By adopting this winding mechanism, the winding mechanism can realize the automated winding of the wire, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the workers and improving the winding efficiency of the wire.

[0035] The cable winding unit 5 includes a first servo motor 51, a turntable 52, two clamping blocks 53, and four support blocks 54. The first servo motor 51 is fixed on the frame 1 and drives the turntable 52 to rotate. The turntable 52 is fixed to the drive shaft of the first servo motor 51. The four support blocks 54 are all arranged above the turntable 52 and are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the turntable 52. Two support blocks 54 arranged opposite each other are fixed to the upper end of the turntable 52, and the other two support blocks 54 arranged opposite each other are slidably connected to the upper end of the turntable 52. Two first cylinders 55 are also fixed to the upper end of the turntable 52. The two first cylinders 55 are respectively used to drive one of the support blocks 54 slidably connected to the turntable 52 to slide along the radial direction of the turntable 52. Two support blocks 54 slidably connected to the turntable 52 are fixed to the drive end of the first cylinder 55 on their respective sides via a connecting plate 56; two clamping blocks 53 are respectively fixed to the first cylinder 55 and the connecting plate 56 on one side of the turntable 52, and a winding plate 57 is vertically fixed to the upper end of each support block 54; when the two first cylinders 55 drive the two support blocks 54 slidably connected to the turntable 52 to slide outward, the two clamping blocks 53 are used to clamp the end of the network cable; when the first servo motor 51 drives the turntable 52 to rotate, the four winding plates 57 are used to wind the network cable; by adopting this network cable winding unit, when the network cable winding unit is working, firstly, the two first cylinders can drive the two support blocks at the corresponding positions. Sliding outwards, the two winding plates corresponding to the two support blocks can move outwards. Simultaneously, the two clamping blocks can clamp the front end of the wire to be wound from the wire feeding mechanism. Then, the first servo motor drives the turntable to rotate. At this point, the four winding plates can wind the wire. After the first servo motor drives the turntable to rotate a predetermined number of times to wind the wire, the first servo motor stops driving the turntable to rotate, and the two first cylinders drive the two support blocks at corresponding positions to slide inwards. At this point, the two clamping blocks can release the front end of the wire, and because the two support blocks can drive the two winding plates at corresponding positions to move inwards (after the winding plates move inwards, the tension on the wound wire is released). This facilitates the removal of the wound wire from the four winding plates; the support block slidably connected to the turntable can be slidably connected to the turntable via a slide rail assembly; the wire lifting unit 6 includes a third servo cylinder 61, a support base 62, a sliding base 63, and a second cylinder 64; the support base 62 is vertically slidably connected to the frame 1, the third servo cylinder 61 is fixed to the frame 1 and used to drive the support base 62 to slide vertically relative to the frame 1, and the support base 62 is fixed to the drive end of the third servo cylinder 61; the sliding base 63 is slidably connected to the support base 62, the second cylinder 64 is fixed to the front end of the support base 62 and used to drive the sliding base 63 to slide back and forth relative to the support base 62, and the sliding base 63 is fixed to the drive end of the second cylinder 64;A plurality of first rollers 65 are rotatably connected to the top of the support base 62, and a plurality of first rollers 66 are rotatably connected to the rear end of the sliding base 63. The plurality of first rollers 65 and the plurality of first rollers 66 are evenly spaced from left to right. When the second cylinder 64 drives the sliding base 63 to slide backward, the plurality of first rollers 65 and the plurality of first rollers 66 are used to clamp the wire to be wound. Both ends of the support base 62 are rotatably connected to support wheels 67 for supporting the wire to be wound. When the third servo cylinder 61 drives the support base 62 to slide upward, the support wheels 67 are used to lift the wire to be wound. By adopting this wire lifting unit, before the wire winding unit winds the wire, the second cylinder can drive the sliding base to slide backward so that the plurality of first rollers 65 and the plurality of first rollers 66 clamp the wire located between the plurality of first rollers 65 and the plurality of first rollers 66. The network cable to be wound between the rollers is wound by the network cable winding unit. At this time, the third servo cylinder gradually pushes the support seat upwards. Meanwhile, the support wheels at both ends of the support seat, along with several first rollers and several first support wheels, gradually lift the network cable to be wound, allowing the network cable winding unit to wind it into a spiral shape. During the winding process, the first rollers and several first support wheels tension and straighten the network cable to facilitate winding. After the network cable winding unit rewinds the cable, the second cylinder drives the sliding seat to slide forward and reset, meaning the first rollers move forward and reset. The third servo cylinder also drives the support seat to slide downward and reset. Furthermore, the sliding seat can be slidably connected to the support seat via a slide rail assembly.

[0036] Four circumferentially distributed first guide posts 621 are fixed on the lower end face of the support base 62. A guide sleeve 622, vertically corresponding to each first guide post 621, is fixed on the frame 1. Each first guide post 621 is vertically movably inserted into the guide sleeve 622 at its corresponding position. With this structure, the support base can be reliably vertically slidably connected to the frame. The wire lifting unit 6 also includes an extension plate 681, a second roller 682, a second roller 683, and a limiting plate 684. The left end of the extension plate 681 is fixed to the support base 62, and the right end of the extension plate 681 extends to the location of the wire winding unit 5. The second roller 682 and the second roller 683 are distributed in a front-to-back direction and are rotatably connected to the top of the right end of the extension plate 681. A gap is formed between the second roller 682 and the second roller 683 for the wire to be wound to pass through. The limiting plate 684... 84 is fixed to the top of the extension plate 681 located to the left of the second roller 682 and the second roller 683. The upper end of the limiting plate 684 is provided with an opening slot 685 for the wire to be wound to pass through. With this structure, when the wire winding unit winds the wire, the wire to be wound can move in the opening slot and in the gap between the second roller and the second roller. That is, the opening slot, the second roller and the second roller can limit and guide the wire to be wound, so that the wire winding unit can wind the wire. In addition, when the tail end of the wire moves to the position of the opening slot, the second roller and the second roller, the opening slot, the second roller and the second roller can continuously limit and guide the wire to avoid the wire from slack and tail swing, thereby ensuring reliable winding of the wire by the wire winding unit.

[0037] When the above-mentioned winding mechanism is working, the wire winding unit can wind the wire, and while the wire winding unit is winding the wire, the wire lifting unit can gradually lift the wire to be wound so that the wire winding unit winds the wire into a spiral shape. That is, the winding mechanism can realize the automatic winding of the wire.

[0038] The cable tie binding mechanism 4 includes a support unit 7, a cable tie feeding unit 8, and a cable tie binding unit 9. The support unit 7, the cable tie feeding unit 8, and the cable tie binding unit 9 are all connected to the frame 1. The support unit 7 is used to support the cable ties and the wound network cable. The cable tie feeding unit 8 is used to supply the cable ties to the support unit 7. The cable tie binding unit 9 is used to place the wound network cable on the support unit 7 and bind the cable ties located on the support unit 7 to the wound network cable. The cable tie binding unit 9 is also used to remove the network cable after binding the cable ties from the support unit 7.

[0039] The aforementioned cable tie bundling mechanism can automatically bundle the wound network cables, thereby improving the bundling efficiency of the wound network cables and reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0040] The support unit 7 includes a first pneumatic gripper 71 and two vertical plates 72 arranged symmetrically from left to right. Both the first pneumatic gripper 71 and the two vertical plates 72 are vertically fixed to the frame 1. The first pneumatic gripper 71 is located behind the gap between the two vertical plates 72. The two gripping arms of the first pneumatic gripper 71 are arranged symmetrically from front to back. Each vertical plate 72 has a groove 721 at its upper end, which is used for the front edge of the wound wire to be inserted. The upper ends of the two gripping arms of the first pneumatic gripper 71 are provided with limiting grooves 711, which are used for cable ties from the cable tie feeding unit 8 to slide into. The gap between the two gripping arms of the first pneumatic gripper 71 is used for the rear edge of the wound wire to slide into. By adopting this support unit, when the cable tie feeding unit supplies cable ties to the support unit, the cable ties can slide into the limiting grooves of the two clamping arms in the first pneumatic gripper, and the two ends of the cable ties can be supported on one of the clamping arms of the first pneumatic gripper respectively. When the wound wire is placed in the support unit, the front side of the wound wire can be supported in the groove at the upper end of the two vertical plates, and the rear side of the wound wire can press down on the middle of the cable tie on the two clamping arms of the first pneumatic gripper, and the rear side of the wound wire can slide into the two clamping arms of the first pneumatic gripper. Then the two clamping arms of the first pneumatic gripper can come together and clamp the two ends of the cable tie on the first pneumatic gripper.

[0041] The cable tie feeding unit 8 includes a first support 81, a guide wheel assembly 82, a cable tie traction assembly 83, a cable tie cutting assembly 84, and a feeding tray 85 with cable ties wound on it. The first support 81 is fixed to the frame 1. The guide wheel assembly 82, the cable tie traction assembly 83, and the cable tie cutting assembly 84 are all connected to the first support 81. The feeding tray 85 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The cable tie traction assembly 83 is used to pull the cable ties from the feeding tray 85 and transport the cable ties to the limiting grooves 711 located on the two clamping arms of the first pneumatic gripper 71. The cable tie cutting assembly 84 is used to cut the cable ties located on the first pneumatic gripper 71. The cable tie between the pneumatic gripper 71 and the cable tie traction assembly 83, and the cable tie between the cable tie traction assembly 83 and the feed tray 85, is threaded through the guide wheel assembly 82, which is used to guide the cable tie. By adopting this cable tie feeding unit, the cable tie traction assembly can pull the cable tie from the feed tray and transport the cable tie to the limiting grooves on the two gripping arms of the first pneumatic gripper. After the cable tie is transported to the limiting grooves on the two gripping arms of the first pneumatic gripper, the cable tie cutting assembly can cut the cable tie between the first pneumatic gripper and the cable tie traction assembly.

[0042] The cable tie traction assembly 83 includes a second servo motor 831, a drive wheel 832, a driven wheel 833, a third cylinder 834, and a first slider 835. The second servo motor 831 is fixed on the first bracket 81, the drive wheel 832 is fixed on the drive shaft of the second servo motor 831, the first slider 835 is vertically slidably connected to the first bracket 81, the driven wheel 833 is rotatably connected to the first slider 835, and the third cylinder 834 is fixed on the first bracket 81 and is used to drive the first slider 835 to move vertically. The first slider 835 is connected to the drive end of the third cylinder 834. When the third cylinder 834 drives the first slider 835 to move downward, the driven wheel 833 and the drive wheel 832 are used to clamp the driven wheel 833. The cable tie between the drive wheel 832 and the driven wheel 833 is used to pull the cable tie clamped between the drive wheel 832 and the driven wheel 833 when the second servo motor 831 drives the drive wheel 832 to rotate. Guide blocks 836 are fixed on the first brackets 81 located on both sides of the drive wheel 832, and each guide block 836 has a guide hole 837 for the cable tie to pass through. With this cable tie pulling assembly, when the third cylinder drives the first slider to move downwards, the driven wheel and the drive wheel can clamp the cable tie located between the driven wheel and the drive wheel. Furthermore, when the second servo motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, the drive wheel and the driven wheel can pull the cable tie clamped between the drive wheel and the driven wheel, causing the cable tie to move towards the first servo motor. One side of the gripper cylinder moves; in addition, the guide hole can limit and guide the cable tie; the cable tie cutting assembly 84 includes a fourth cylinder 841, a second slider 842, and two cutters 843 arranged symmetrically up and down. Each cutter 843 has a second guide post 844 passing through it from front to back. The first bracket 81 has vertical holes 811 corresponding to each end of each second guide post 844. Both ends of each second guide post 844 are movably inserted into the vertical holes 811 at the corresponding positions. Each cutter 843 is vertically slidably connected to the first bracket 81 through the second guide post 844 and the vertical holes 811. The second slider 842 is slidably connected to the first bracket 81. The fourth cylinder 841 is fixed. The first bracket 81 is used to drive the second slider 842 to slide left and right. The second slider 842 is connected to the drive end of the fourth cylinder 841. The second slider 842 is provided with two oblique holes 845 that are symmetrically arranged vertically. One end of each second guide post 844 is movably inserted into the oblique hole 845 at the corresponding position. When the fourth cylinder 841 drives the second slider 842 to slide to the left, the second slider 842 is used to push the two cutters 843 to move closer together so that the two cutters 843 cut the cable tie located between the two cutters 843. By adopting this cable tie cutting assembly, when the fourth cylinder drives the second slider to slide to the left, the second slider can push the two cutters to move closer together so that the two cutters cut the cable tie located between the two cutters.When the fourth cylinder drives the second slider to slide to the right, the cooperation of the second guide post and the oblique hole drives the two cutters to move away from each other and reset.

[0043] The cable tie binding unit 9 includes a fourth servo cylinder 91, two fifth servo cylinders 92, and two second supports 93. The fourth servo cylinder 91 is fixed to the frame 1 and is used to simultaneously drive the two fifth servo cylinders 92 to move left and right. The two fifth servo cylinders 92 are spaced apart in the left and right direction and are both vertically fixed to the drive end of the fourth servo cylinder 91. The two fifth servo cylinders 92 are used to drive one of the second supports 93 to move vertically. The two second supports 93 are fixed to the drive end of one of the fifth servo cylinders 92 respectively. The lower end of the second support 93 on the left side is fixed with two second pneumatic grippers 94 spaced apart in the front and back direction. The two second pneumatic grippers 94 are used to clamp the front and back sides of the wound cable and place the wound cable into the support unit 7. The lower end of the second bracket 93 on the right side is rotatably connected to two third pneumatic grippers 96 spaced apart in the front-back direction via a rotary joint 95. Two third servo motors 97 are also fixed on the second bracket 93 on the right side. The two third servo motors 97 are used to drive one of the third pneumatic grippers 96 to rotate. The rotating ends of the two rotary joints 95 are connected to the drive shafts of the corresponding third servo motors 97 via gear sets 98. The third pneumatic gripper 96 on the rear side is used to clamp the two ends of the cable tie on the two limiting grooves 711 and drive the two ends of the cable tie to rotate so that the cable tie is tied to the wound network cable. The third pneumatic gripper 96 on the front side is used to clamp the network cable after the cable tie is tied and drive the network cable to rotate so that the network cable is moved out of the support unit 7.By employing this cable tie unit, when the fourth servo cylinder drives the two fifth servo cylinders to move to the left, the fifth servo cylinder on the left can drive the second support on the left to move downwards, and the two second pneumatic grippers can respectively clamp the front and rear sides of the wound network cable. After the two second pneumatic grippers have gripped the wound network cable, the fifth servo cylinder on the left can drive the second support on the left and the two second pneumatic grippers on the left to move upwards and reset. At the same time, the fifth servo cylinder on the right can drive the second support on the right to move downwards, and the fifth servo cylinder on the right... After the second support moves downward, the third pneumatic gripper located at the rear can clamp the two ends of the cable tie clamped by the first pneumatic gripper, and the third pneumatic gripper located at the front can clamp the coiled network cable located between the two vertical plates. Then, the third servo motor located at the rear can drive the third pneumatic gripper located at the rear to rotate. At this time, the third pneumatic gripper located at the rear can drive the two ends of the cable tie on the first pneumatic gripper to wrap around each other to tighten the cable tie. Then, the two gripping arms of the first pneumatic gripper move away from each other, and the third pneumatic gripper located at the rear releases the ends of the cable tie. Furthermore, the fifth servo cylinder on the right can drive the second bracket on the right to move upward and reset (because the front edge of the cable tie is clamped by the third pneumatic gripper on the front, the third pneumatic gripper on the front can pull the cable tie upward). Subsequently, the cable tie feeding unit can supply the cable tie to the support unit again. The fourth servo cylinder can drive the two fifth servo cylinders to move to the right. After the fourth servo cylinder drives the two fifth servo cylinders to move to the right, the fifth servo cylinder on the left can drive the two second pneumatic grippers on the second bracket on the left. As the claw moves downwards, the two second pneumatic grippers release the wound wire to place the next wound wire onto the support unit. Once the next wound wire is placed on the support unit, the fifth servo cylinder on the left drives the second bracket on the left to move upwards and reset. Simultaneously, the third servo motor on the front rotates the third pneumatic gripper on the front by 90 degrees. After rotating 90 degrees, the front pneumatic gripper releases the wire wrapped with cable ties, and the wire wrapped with cable ties falls into the basket.

[0044] When the above-mentioned cable tie binding mechanism is working, the cable tie feeding unit first supplies cable ties to the support unit, then the cable tie binding unit places the wound network cable on the support unit and binds the cable tie on the support unit to the wound network cable, and then the cable tie binding unit removes the bound network cable from the support unit.

[0045] In operation, the present invention delivers network cables of equal length, with both ends stripped of their insulation, to the winding mechanism 3. The winding mechanism 3 winds the network cables from the delivery mechanism 2, and the cable tie binding mechanism 4 acquires the network cables wound by the winding mechanism 3 and binds them with cable ties. In other words, the present invention can automatically cut network cables from the cable roll into equal lengths and automatically strip the insulation from both ends of each cut network cable. Furthermore, it can wind and bind the cut network cables with cable ties, thereby improving the production efficiency of finished network cables and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0046] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
