Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable processing devices, and particularly to a hole-opening device for cable mesh coiling wire. Background Technology
[0002] Cables and data cables are widely used in daily life and production. After production, the most common way to store cables is by winding them into coils, and one method of winding is the use of spools. In this spool method, there is no fixed shaft in the center; the outer ends of the cables are fixed, while the inner ends protrude from the side walls. During use, pulling the inner ends allows for continuous cable output.
[0003] Currently, some cable winding processes can achieve intelligent pre-drilling of openings through the winding machine's program. However, this intelligent method has drawbacks such as high implementation cost and low flexibility. Furthermore, for some softer or harder cables, pre-drilling during the winding process is not feasible. In such cases, the compact structure of the spool during winding makes it difficult to guide the internal wire ends from the side wall. Currently, in most situations, opening is done manually. In rare cases, when the winding density of the cable is low, mechanical assistance is used to achieve subsequent opening. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a hole-opening device for cable mesh coiled wire, which aims to solve the problem that some coiled wires cannot have pre-drilled holes and cannot be automatically guided out of the internal wire ends from the side wall.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a hole-opening device for cable mesh coiled wire, comprising:
[0006] A support mechanism is provided to support the floral pattern.
[0007] A telescopic drive assembly is connected to the support mechanism. The telescopic drive assembly includes a drive unit and an opening column assembly connected to the drive unit. The opening column assembly includes a soft section and a hard section connected to each other. The hard section is connected to the drive unit, and the soft section is disposed at the free end of the opening column assembly. The free end of the soft section has a tapered structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the perforated post assembly also includes a rigid replacement sleeve, which is detachable from the free end of the perforated post assembly and sleeved on the outer periphery of the rigid section.
[0009] Furthermore, the replacement cylinder is pin-connected to the hard segment, and the end of the replacement cylinder near the soft segment has a tapered structure that matches the soft segment.
[0010] Furthermore, the driving stroke of the driving unit is in the vertical direction.
[0011] Furthermore, the support mechanism is provided with a flipping structure, which is used to switch the lace thread between a flat state and a vertical state.
[0012] Furthermore, the driving stroke of the driving unit is in the horizontal direction.
[0013] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a support base and a vibration support platform disposed on the upper part of the support base, the telescopic drive assembly is connected to the support base, wherein the vibration support platform is used to provide vertical vibration.
[0014] Furthermore, a lifting device is provided on the support base, which is used to drive the vibration support platform to detach from the support base and to lower the vibration support platform back to the support base.
[0015] Furthermore, the vibration support platform and the lifting device form a vertically separable fit.
[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the support mechanism is provided with a transfer wheel section.
[0017] The present invention provides a hole-opening device for cable mesh coiling wire, which sets the hole-opening column assembly into a rigid section and a flexible section, and the free end of the flexible section has a tapered structure. During the hole-opening process, the driving unit drives the hole-opening column assembly to penetrate into the side wall of the wire. The rigid section achieves structural strength, and the tapered structure of the flexible section enables the wire to be inserted from the side. Since the flexible section has lower hardness, the possibility of it damaging the cable in the wire is reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, a hole-opening device for a cable mesh coiled wire includes:
[0029] Support mechanism 100 is used to support the flower line;
[0030] A telescopic drive assembly 200 is connected to the support mechanism 100. The telescopic drive assembly 200 includes a drive part 210 and an opening column assembly 220 connected to the drive part 210. The opening column assembly 220 includes a soft section 222 and a hard section 221 connected to each other. The hard section 221 is connected to the drive part 210. The soft section 222 is disposed at the free end of the opening column assembly 220. The free end of the soft section 222 has a tapered structure.
[0031] In existing technologies, intelligent pre-drilling of openings can be achieved through the winding process of winding machines. However, the above intelligent methods have the disadvantages of high implementation cost and low flexibility. Furthermore, for some soft or hard cables, it is not possible to form openings by pre-drilling during the winding process. In this case, during the winding process of the wire, the entire coil structure is compact, making it difficult to guide the internal wire ends from the side wall. Currently, in most cases, the opening operation can only be carried out manually.
[0032] In this invention, the support mechanism 100 provides structural support for the opening device of the cable mesh coiled twill, forming the structural foundation. The telescopic drive assembly 200 is used to realize the specific operation of opening. The drive unit 210 drives the opening column assembly 220 to penetrate into the side wall of the twill. The rigid section 221 provides structural strength, and the tapering structure of the soft section 222 enables the twill to penetrate from the side. The power source of the drive unit 210 can be a motor, hydraulic pressure, or pneumatic pressure. In different situations, the drive source of the drive unit 210 can be external or built into the opening device of the cable mesh coiled twill. For example, when the power source of the drive unit 210 is a motor, it can have its own portable power supply, while when the power source is compressed gas, it may need to be connected to an external compressed air circuit. The rigid section 221 can be metal or hard plastic, while the soft section 222 can be a material with lower hardness, such as rubber. The connection method between the rigid section 221 and the soft section 222 has various options, such as bonding, snap-fitting, and fastening.
[0033] In summary, the perforation post assembly 220 is configured with a rigid section 221 and a flexible section 222, and the free end of the flexible section 222 has a tapered structure. During the perforation process, the driving unit 210 drives the perforation post assembly 220 to penetrate the side wall of the woven wire. The rigid section 221 provides structural strength, and the tapered structure of the flexible section 222 enables it to penetrate from the side of the woven wire. Since the flexible section 222 has lower hardness, the possibility of it damaging the cable in the woven wire is reduced.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment, the perforated post assembly 220 further includes a rigid replacement sleeve 223, which is removable from the free end of the perforated post assembly 220 and sleeved on the outer periphery of the rigid section 221.
[0035] In this embodiment, the soft segment 222 and the hard segment 221 can be detachable or non-detachable; the soft segment 222 is a polyurethane-based rubber material and is conical, while the hard segment 221 is a hard material such as steel and is cylindrical; and for cost considerations, the replacement cylinder 223 can be a hard plastic or the like. During application, the replacement cylinder 223 is fitted over the rigid section 221 of the perforation post assembly 220 and engaged with the rigid section 221 using a bolt or similar method. To facilitate the perforation process, a chamfered structure can be provided at the connection between the replacement cylinder 223 and the soft section 222. After completing the above preparations, the driving unit 210 drives the perforation post assembly 220 into the side of the corrugated wire, disengaging the replacement cylinder 223 from the rigid section 221. Then, the entire assembly formed by the soft section 222 and the rigid section 221 is driven away from the corrugated wire, leaving the replacement cylinder 223 embedded in the wire. The wire end can then pass through the replacement cylinder 223. After the wire end passes through, the replacement cylinder 223 can be left in the corrugated wire or removed. It should be noted that, because the thread exerts an elastic force on the perforation post assembly 220 during the perforation process, if the replacement cylinder 223 is made of a soft material such as rubber, it will be difficult to separate the replacement cylinder 223 from the perforation post assembly 220. Similarly, if the perforation post assembly 220 is not restricted to include the rigid section 221, the aforementioned difficulty in separation will also exist. During the shipping process of the thread, it is generally placed in a box with a wire outlet hole. A rigid collar is fitted onto the outlet hole. In this embodiment, the replacement cylinder 223 can be the collar, reducing the installation difficulty and shortening the operation steps.
[0036] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment, the replacement cylinder 223 is pin-connected to the hard segment 221, and the end of the replacement cylinder 223 near the soft segment 222 has a tapered structure that matches the soft segment 222.
[0037] In this embodiment, a simple and reliable connection method is provided between the replacement cylinder 223 and the perforation post assembly 220. During the perforation process, the fixing pin connects the replacement cylinder 223 and the perforation post assembly 220. After the perforation process is completed, the fixing pin is removed, and the two are no longer connected. The driving unit 210 can drive the soft section 222 and the hard section 221 to detach from the serif.
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the driving stroke of the driving unit 210 is in the vertical direction.
[0039] In this embodiment, the driving stroke of the drive unit 210 is in the vertical direction, so the entire cable mesh coiled wire opening device occupies a small area and is easy to move. During application, the coil is transferred to the support mechanism 100 and its direction is adjusted to a vertical position. At this time, the drive unit 210 can drive the opening post assembly 220 to the side of the coil to complete the opening process.
[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the support mechanism 100 is provided with a flipping structure 110, which is used to switch the lace thread between a flat state and a vertical state.
[0041] In this embodiment, the driving stroke of the drive unit 210 is typically vertical, while the stacking direction of the decorative thread is horizontal. Therefore, before the drilling operation, the decorative thread is changed from a flat state to a vertical state, and after the drilling operation, it is changed back to a flat state. The above-mentioned flipping mechanism can achieve the flipping action through pneumatic or hydraulic pressure, or by a rotating shaft.
[0042] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, the driving stroke of the driving unit 210 is in the horizontal direction.
[0043] Firstly, in the aforementioned embodiments, the working direction of the drive unit 210 was not restricted. In this embodiment, the working direction of the drive unit 210 is horizontal. Since the normal arrangement of the lace thread is horizontal, the drive stroke of the drive unit 210 is set to the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to set the lace thread's orientation to vertical; the drive unit 210 can drive the perforation post assembly 220 towards the side of the lace thread to complete the perforation process. This feature of not requiring flipping is advantageous for lace threads with larger mass. Of course, some supporting structures can be added to the support mechanism 100 to restrict the movement of the lace thread and facilitate the perforation process.
[0044] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, the support mechanism 100 includes a support base 120 and a vibration support platform 130 disposed on the upper part of the support base 120. The telescopic drive assembly 200 is connected to the support base 120, wherein the vibration support platform 130 is used to provide vertical vibration.
[0045] During the winding process, the spacing and tension of the cable are relatively large. Therefore, during the hole-opening operation using the telescopic drive assembly 200, the resistance generated by the cable is significant. If the force of the telescopic drive assembly 200 is increased unilaterally, the possibility of the telescopic drive assembly 200 damaging the cable increases significantly. In this embodiment, the support mechanism 100 is divided into a support base 120 and a vibration support platform 130. The support base 120 supports the telescopic drive assembly 200, while the vibration support platform 130 provides vertical vibration. The introduction of the above vibration characteristics reduces the resistance of the drive unit 210 driving the hole-opening column assembly 220 to pass through the cable; the telescopic drive assembly 200 is not affected by the operation of the vibration support platform 130. It should be noted that when the telescopic drive assembly 200 completes the hole-opening process, the cable is in the vertical direction. At this time, the vibration direction to be introduced should be in the thickness direction of the cable. Thus, the cable needs both thickness-direction clamping and thickness-direction vibration, which creates a difficult contradiction to overcome. In this embodiment, by limiting the driving stroke of the drive unit 210 to the horizontal direction, the thread is placed flat on the support mechanism 100, thus eliminating the contradiction between clamping and vibration. It should be noted that while the vibration support platform 130 provides vertical vibration, it is not limited to also providing horizontal vibration. The vibration support platform 130 is not limited to being directly attached to the upper surface of the support base 120; it can extend beyond its upper surface.
[0046] In one embodiment, the vibration support platform 130 is provided with a clamping device for restricting the horizontal movement of the lace thread.
[0047] In this embodiment, due to the introduction of the vibration support platform 130, the serrated thread is prone to abnormal displacement in the horizontal direction. By limiting the clamping device, the force exerted by the telescopic drive assembly 200 on the serrated thread will not be unable to achieve the drilling operation due to the abnormal horizontal movement of the serrated thread. The clamping size of the above-mentioned clamping device can be set to be adjustable, thus adapting to a variety of serrated thread sizes. The adjustable clamping size characteristic can be achieved through threaded screw-in structures or elastic structures.
[0048] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, a lifting device 140 is provided on the support base 120. The lifting device 140 is used to drive the vibration support platform 130 to disengage from the support base 120 and to lower the vibration support platform 130 back to the support base 120.
[0049] Since the yarn is often laid flat and stacked during storage, in this embodiment, a lifting device 140 is provided on the support base 120 for the stacking method described above. The lifting device 140 can drive the vibrating support platform 130 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the lifting capability can be utilized in both the yarn retrieval operation before the drilling process and the yarn placement operation after the drilling process, thereby reducing the workload of the operators. The lifting device 140 can be implemented in various ways, such as vertical hydraulic or motor drive, or a hydraulically driven fork-shaped lifting platform.
[0050] In one embodiment, the vibration support platform 130 and the lifting device 140 form a vertically separable fit.
[0051] The lifting device 140 is not connected to the vibrating support platform 130. After the vibrating support platform 130 is placed on the support base 120, the lifting device 140 can be lowered further. The operation of the vibrating support platform 130 will not interfere with the lifting device 140.
[0052] In one embodiment, a lifting device 140 is provided on the support base 120, and a support plate that can be separated from the vibration support platform 130 is provided on the top free end of the vibration support platform 130. The lifting device 140 is provided below the support plate and is used to drive the support plate away from the vibration support platform 130 and to lower the support plate back to the vibration support platform 130. The lifting device 140 and the support plate form a vertically separable fit.
[0053] Compared to the aforementioned embodiment where a lifting device 140 was used to drive the entire vibrating support platform 130 vertically, in this embodiment, a support plate is placed on the vibrating support platform 130. During the drilling process, the support plate, located on the vibrating support platform 130, can vibrate. After the drilling process is completed, the lifting device 140 only lifts the support plate, reducing the working resistance of the lifting device 140. Of course, the lifting device 140 and the support plate can also be used during the wire removal process. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lifting device 140 is not connected to the support plate. Therefore, after placing the support plate on the vibrating support platform 130, the lifting device 140 can be further lowered, so the vibration of the support plate will not interfere with the lifting device 140. In this embodiment, the lifting device 140 is preferably a pneumatic or hydraulic device.
[0054] In one embodiment, the bottom of the support mechanism 100 is provided with a transfer wheel section.
[0055] In this embodiment, the transfer wheel section is used to simplify the movement of the cable mesh coiling wire opening device. For example, the transfer wheel section can be four rectangular casters, and the casters are equipped with locking buckles. In this way, the transfer wheel section can facilitate the transfer of the cable mesh coiling wire opening device to various working positions. During operation, the casters can be locked to perform the opening operation.
[0056] In one embodiment, the telescopic drive assembly 200 includes a mobile power source, the drive unit 210 is electric, and the mobile power source is used to operate the drive unit 210.
[0057] In this embodiment, a portable power source, such as a lead-acid battery or other type of battery, is introduced. Therefore, the opening device for the cable mesh coiling wire does not require an external power supply, ensuring flexibility in its working position. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the portable power source can also supply power to other electrical devices within the cable mesh coiling wire opening device, thus avoiding the need for external power supply lines for those other devices.
[0058] In summary, the hole-opening device for cable mesh coiling provided by the present invention sets the hole-opening column assembly 220 into a rigid section 221 and a flexible section 222, and the free end of the flexible section 222 has a tapered structure. During the hole-opening process, the driving unit 210 drives the hole-opening column assembly 220 to penetrate into the side wall of the coil. The rigid section 221 provides structural strength, and the tapered structure of the flexible section 222 enables it to penetrate from the side of the coil. Since the flexible section 222 has lower hardness, the possibility of it damaging the cable in the coil is reduced.
[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
