Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical cable winding tightness detection, and particularly to an optical cable winding tightness detection device that prevents breakage. Background Art

[0002] An optical cable is manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, or environmental performance specifications. It is a communication cable assembly that uses one or more optical fibers placed in a cladding sheath as a transmission medium and can be used alone or in groups. An optical cable mainly consists of optical fibers (glass filaments as thin as hair), a plastic protective sleeve, and a plastic outer skin.

[0003] Among them, since the optical cable itself has a tendency to spread after rewinding, during the winding process, it is easy to cause changes in the tightness of the optical cable laying, which to a certain extent affects the quality of the optical cable and seriously affects the subsequent use process. For example, too tight cable winding will cause problems such as optical cable attenuation, and too loose winding will lead to problems such as loose laying or fiber breakage during unwinding. Therefore, whether for self-use or for sale to customers, it is necessary to ensure that the cable winding is neat and the tightness is appropriate.

[0004] Currently, when winding an optical cable, the tightness of the optical cable winding is adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the winding component or the wire outlet speed. However, it is generally impossible to accurately evaluate by visual observation, and when the optical cable winding is tightened and the stretching amplitude is too large, it is easy to cause certain damage to the optical cable, reducing the efficiency of the optical cable. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this part is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. In this part, as well as in the abstract and title of the present application, some simplifications or omissions may be made to avoid obscuring the purpose of this part, the abstract, and the title of the invention, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0006] In view of the problem in the above or existing technologies that it is impossible to timely protect the cable from being damaged during winding, the present invention is proposed.

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical cable winding tightness detection device that prevents breakage.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: It includes a bottom plate, on the upper surface of which a winding component is fixedly connected. A mounting plate is slidably connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate. On both sides of the upper surface of the mounting plate, two grooves are fixedly connected. In both of the two grooves, a sliding plate is slidably connected. On the upper surfaces of the sliding plates, support grooves are fixedly connected. In the support grooves, a moving plate is slidably connected. It further includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate. One end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to an adjusting plate. An insertion slot is slidably connected to the outside of the adjusting plate. A support shaft passes through the insertion slot. Both ends of the support shaft are fixedly connected with connecting plates. On one side of each of the two connecting plates, a telescopic rod is fixedly installed. The telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a rotating plate. The rotating plate passes through a support shaft, and the support shaft is inserted into the rotating plate. And at one end of the support shaft, a clamping plate is fixedly connected. The clamping plate is slidably connected to the groove. A pushing plate is slidably connected in the groove. The pushing plate is movably connected to the sliding plate.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the pushing plate is fixedly connected with an elastic member. One end of the elastic member is fixedly connected with a connecting ring. One end of the connecting ring is fixedly connected with a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the groove.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing bolt is movably connected to one side of the insertion slot. One end of the fixing bolt passes through the insertion slot and is movably connected to the adjusting plate.

[0011] Preferably, it includes a limiting component. There are two limiting components, which are respectively installed on one side of the support groove and one side of the moving plate.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting component includes a support rod and a transition roller fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support rod. Both ends of the support rod respectively pass through the two support grooves.

[0013] Preferably, both ends of the support rod are movably connected with mounting discs. One end of each of the two mounting discs is movably connected to the support groove. The other end of the mounting disc is provided with a plurality of mounting bolts. The mounting disc and the support groove are assembled through the plurality of mounting bolts.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of universal wheels are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate.

[0015] Preferably, side plates are fixedly arranged on both sides of the mounting plate. One side of the side plate is movably connected to one side of the bottom plate. The other side of the side plate is provided with a plurality of limiting bolts. One end of each of the plurality of limiting bolts passes through the side plate and is connected to the bottom plate.

[0016] Preferably, it includes a blocking component arranged at the front end of the groove. There are two blocking components. The blocking component includes a baffle movably connected to one side of the groove.

[0017] Preferably, the blocking component further includes two limiting slots fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate. Both of the two limiting slots are slidably connected with inserting plates, and the upper surfaces of the two inserting plates are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the baffle.

[0018] The beneficial effects of an anti-breakage optical cable winding tightness detection device of the present invention: When the present invention winds the optical cable through the winding component, when the winding tightness changes, for example, when the winding component rotates faster, the wire releasing speed of the other end of the optical cable remains unchanged. Therefore, the winding component will generate a pulling force on the optical cable, and the winding component winds the optical cable tighter. The optical cable will pass through two transition rollers, and the pulling force of the optical cable will affect the transition rollers, causing the transition rollers to obtain a pulling force towards the winding component direction, thereby acting on the support slot and the moving plate, so that the sliding plate moves towards the winding component direction inside the groove, pushing the push plate to move, thereby squeezing the elastic member, enabling the elastic member to obtain elastic force, acting on the pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor detects the corresponding pressure, thereby judging the tightening degree of the optical cable winding through the pressure value.

[0019] When the sliding distance of the sliding plate is relatively large in the present invention, that is, when the pressure sensor obtains a relatively large pressure, it indicates that the pulling force obtained by the transition roller is greater, that is, the force of the cable being pulled is greater. When the push plate slides to contact the clamping plate, if the pulling force of the optical cable continues to increase, the push plate pushes the clamping plate to slide. When the clamping plate slides, the telescopic rod unfolds. When the telescopic rod unfolds to the limit and the clamping plate continues to move forward, the rotating plate rotates on the support shaft, driving the telescopic rod to tilt upwards, thereby causing the connecting plate and the support shaft to move upwards, driving the slot and the adjusting plate to move upwards, enabling the connecting plate to drive the moving plate to move upwards inside the support slot, thereby driving the limiting component installed on the moving plate to move upwards, adjusting the distance between the two transition rollers, releasing the restriction on the optical cable, thereby being able to reduce the pulling force on the optical cable, being able to avoid the optical cable being damaged by being pulled, having a warning for the staff, enabling the staff to have time to adjust the rotation speed of the winding component, avoiding damage to the optical cable caused by over-tight winding, and protecting the optical cable.

[0034] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an individual or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-10 , this is the first embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides a device for detecting the winding tightness of an optical cable that prevents breakage.

[0037] It includes a bottom plate 404, a winding component 405 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 404, and a plurality of universal wheels 406 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 404.

[0038] Specifically, the universal wheels 406 facilitate the movement of this device, and the winding component 405 is activated to wind and store the optical cable.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] Referring to Figures 1-10 , this is the second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.

[0041] An installation plate 401 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the groove 101. The installation plate 401 is slidably connected to the bottom plate 404. Side plates 402 are fixedly provided on both sides of the installation plate 401, and one side of the side plates 402 is movably connected to one side of the bottom plate 404.

[0042] Specifically, align the groove formed by the installation plate 401 and the side plates 402 with the bottom plate 404, and then push the installation plate 401 in the direction of the winding component 405, so that the installation plate 401 slides on the upper surface of the bottom plate 404, thereby pushing the installation plate 401 until it is completely on the upper surface of the bottom plate 404, and then the detection device is installed.

[0043] Embodiment 3

[0044] Referring to Figures 1-10 , this is the third embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides a device for detecting the winding tightness of an optical cable that prevents breakage.

[0045] On the other side of the side plate 402, a number of limit bolts 403 are provided, and one ends of the number of limit bolts 403 all pass through the side plate 402 and are connected to the bottom plate 404.

[0046] Specifically, insert the number of limit bolts 403 into the side plate 402 and install them inside the bottom plate 404, so as to be able to fix the side plate 402, and further fix the detection device, avoiding the movement of the detection device due to excessive pulling force during the winding and rewinding of the optical cable, which affects the detection result.

[0047] Embodiment 4

[0048] Refer to Figures 1-10 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an optical cable winding tightness detection device that prevents breakage.

[0049] It includes a limiting component. There are two limiting components, which are respectively installed on one side of the support groove 103 and one side of the moving plate 104. The limiting component includes a support rod 303 and a transition roller 304 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support rod 303. Both ends of the support rod 303 pass through the two support grooves 103 respectively. Both ends of the support rod 303 are movably connected with mounting disks 301. One ends of the two mounting disks 301 are movably connected with the support groove 103. A number of mounting bolts 302 are provided at the other ends of the mounting disks 301. The mounting disks 301 and the support groove 103 are assembled through the number of mounting bolts 302.

[0050] Specifically, when winding and rewinding the optical cable, pass the optical cable through the middle of the upper and lower transition rollers 304. The upper and lower transition rollers 304 are in contact with the optical cable, but the optical cable can also be pulled out, so as to be able to guide the optical cable and generate a pulling force on the transition roller 304 according to the tightness of the optical cable winding, that is, the pulling force of the optical cable being stretched, which is convenient for the detection device to detect the winding tightness.

[0051] Install and fix the support rod 303 through the mounting disk 301 and the mounting bolts 302, which is convenient for disassembling the transition roller 304 and is beneficial for replacing and cleaning the transition roller 304.

[0052] Embodiment 5

[0053] Refer to Figures 1-10 , which is the fifth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an optical cable winding tightness detection device that prevents breakage.

[0054] It includes two grooves 101. A sliding plate 102 is slidably connected inside each of the two grooves 101. A pushing plate 201 is slidably connected inside the groove 101. A support groove 103 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 102. A moving plate 104 is slidably connected inside the support groove 103. An elastic member 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the pushing plate 201. One end of the elastic member 202 is fixedly connected to a connecting ring 203. One end of the connecting ring 203 is fixedly connected to a pressure sensor 204, and the pressure sensor 204 is fixedly connected to the groove 101.

[0055] Specifically, when the winding assembly 405 winds up the optical cable, when the winding tightness changes, for example, when the winding assembly 405 rotates faster, the unwinding speed of the other end of the optical cable remains unchanged. Therefore, the winding assembly 405 will generate a pulling force on the optical cable, and the winding of the optical cable by the winding assembly 405 becomes tighter. The optical cable will pass through two transition rollers 304. The pulling force of the optical cable will affect the transition rollers 304, causing the transition rollers 304 to obtain a pulling force in the direction of the winding assembly 405. Thus, it acts on the support groove 103 and the moving plate 104, causing the sliding plate 102 to move in the groove 101 in the direction of the winding assembly 405, pushing the pushing plate 201 to move, thereby squeezing the elastic member 202, enabling the elastic member 202 to obtain an elastic force and acting on the pressure sensor 204. The pressure sensor 204 detects the corresponding pressure, and thus judges the tightening degree of the optical cable winding through the pressure value.

[0056] Embodiment 6

[0057] Refer to Figures 1-10 , which is the fifth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a device for detecting the winding tightness of an optical cable to prevent breakage.

[0058] It includes a connecting plate 105 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate 104. One end of the connecting plate 105 is fixedly connected to an adjusting plate 106. The outside of the adjusting plate 106 is slidably connected to a slot 107. A support shaft 109 passes through the slot 107. Both ends of the support shaft 109 are fixedly connected to connecting plates 110. One side of each of the two connecting plates 110 is fixedly installed with a telescopic rod 111. The telescopic rod 111 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 112. The rotating plate 112 passes through a support shaft 113, and a clamping plate 114 is fixedly connected to one end of the support shaft 113. The clamping plate 114 is slidably connected to the groove 101. A pushing plate 201 is slidably connected inside the groove 101, and the pushing plate 201 is movably connected to the sliding plate 102.

[0059] Specifically, when the sliding distance of the sliding plate 102 is relatively large, that is, when the pressure sensor 204 obtains a relatively large pressure, it indicates that the greater the pulling force obtained by the transition roller 304, that is, the greater the force of the cable being pulled by the pulling rope. When the pushing plate 201 slides to contact the clamping plate 114, if the optical cable pulling force continues to increase, the pushing plate 201 pushes the clamping plate 114 to slide. As the clamping plate 114 slides, the telescopic rod 111 expands. When the telescopic rod 111 expands to the limit and the clamping plate 114 continues to move forward, the rotating plate 112 rotates on the support shaft 113, driving the telescopic rod 111 to tilt upward. Thus, the connecting plate 110 and the support shaft 109 move upward, driving the slot 107 and the adjusting plate 106 to move upward. The connecting plate 105 drives the moving plate 104 to move upward inside the support groove 103, thereby driving the limiting component installed on the moving plate 104 to move upward, adjusting the distance between the two transition rollers 304, loosening the restriction on the optical cable, which can reduce the stretching force of the optical cable, avoid damage to the optical cable caused by being pulled, give a warning to the staff, enable the staff to have time to adjust the rotation speed of the winding component 405, avoid damage to the optical cable caused by over-tight winding, and protect the optical cable.

[0060] Embodiment 7

[0061] Refer to Figures 1-10 , which is the fifth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a device for detecting the winding tightness of an optical cable to prevent breakage.

[0062] It includes a blocking component arranged at the front end of the groove 101. There are two blocking components. The blocking component includes a baffle 503 movably connected to one side of the groove 101.

[0063] The blocking component further includes two limiting slots 501 fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate 401. Slide plates 502 are slidably connected inside the two limiting slots 501. The upper surfaces of the two slide plates 502 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the baffle 503.

[0064] Specifically, the baffle 503 blocks the front end of the groove 101 to prevent the sliding plate 102 from sliding out. After inserting the sliding plate 102 into the groove 101, insert the slide plate 502 into the limiting slot 501, so that the baffle 503 blocks one end of the groove 101, which can prevent the sliding plate 102 from sliding out of the groove 101. When disassembling the device, lift the baffle 503 upward to make the slide plate 502 slide out of the limiting slot 501. After removing the baffle 503, it is beneficial for the sliding plate 102 to slide out of the groove 101, which is beneficial for disassembling the device.
