Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traffic cable winding, and more particularly to an intelligent traffic cable winding machine and its winding process. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, a cable is a device for transmitting electrical energy or signals, typically composed of several or groups of conductors. It consists of one or more mutually insulated conductors and an outer insulating protective layer, used to transmit electricity or information from one point to another. Cables are usually rope-like structures made of several or groups of conductors twisted together, with each group of conductors insulated from each other and often twisted around a central core, completely covered by a highly insulating outer layer. Cables are characterized by being internally energized and externally insulated. Types of cables include power cables, control cables, compensating cables, shielded cables, high-temperature cables, computer cables, signal cables, coaxial cables, fire-resistant cables, marine cables, mining cables, aluminum alloy cables, and so on. They are all composed of single or multiple strands of conductors and an insulating layer, used to connect circuits, electrical appliances, etc.

[0003] Patent document with application number "CN202010912412.8" discloses a robot for rapidly wrapping electrical wires with insulating tape, comprising: an installation platform, a winding mechanism, a rotating motor base, a rotating motor, and a wire exit device. The installation platform is a rectangular steel plate and serves as the mounting platform for the winding mechanism, the rotating motor base, and the wire exit device. The lower end of the winding mounting base is fixedly mounted on one end of the upper surface of the installation platform, and an arc-shaped mounting groove is provided in the middle of the winding mounting base. The arc-shaped sliding plate is fixedly mounted within the arc-shaped mounting groove on the winding mounting base. The lower end of the roller bracket is fixedly mounted on one end of the upper surface of the installation platform. This invention rapidly wraps three strands of insulating tape around the wire using a rotating winding mechanism, achieving the effect of the insulating tape covering the wire, resulting in high work efficiency.

[0004] Patent document with application number "CN201910253444.9" discloses a wire harness winding robot, which includes: a first clamping device for clamping the end of a first body; a second clamping device for clamping the lead-out end of a second body; and a winding device for winding the second body in the second clamping device onto the first body in the first clamping device according to a preset winding stroke. This application solves the technical problem of poor winding effect. This application enables fast, accurate, and efficient automatic winding, effectively improving production efficiency, and the quality of machine winding is far superior to manual winding.

[0005] However, existing cable winding machines have the following drawbacks:

[0006] (1) During the winding process, the cable winding machine on the market does not have a fixed shape, resulting in uneven winding coils and severe bulging.

[0007] (2) During the winding process, the inner coil support force of the cable winding machine increases or decreases. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide an intelligent transportation cable winding machine that can solve the problems of uneven winding coils and severe bulging.

[0012] A winding machine assembly is mounted on a base assembly. The winding machine assembly includes a vertical track assembly, a drive assembly, a lower pressing assembly, a rotating assembly, and a winding assembly. The drive assembly is mounted on the vertical track assembly and drives the lower pressing assembly to move up and down.

The sensor components contain spring components that provide support force for the inner winding ring. The two extension platforms are respectively disposed on the two locking components, and each extension platform has a winding structure.

[0013] A shaping machine assembly is installed on the base assembly and located on the side of the winding machine assembly. The shaping machine assembly includes an upper shaping wheel with an upper shaping groove and a lower shaping wheel with a lower shaping groove. After the cable passes through the upper shaping wheel and the lower shaping wheel, the two winding structures are wound by the cable.

[0016] Furthermore, the sensor assembly includes a side fixing block, a mating block, a pressure sensor, and an abutment block. The side fixing block is fixed to the rotary table. The side fixing block and the mating block hold the pressure sensor in the middle. The pressure sensor senses the pressure between the side fixing block and the mating block and feeds back the real-time pressure value inside the wound coil. The two ends of the spring assembly abut against the abutment block and the mating block, respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, the shaping machine assembly includes a side column, a sleeve part, and a horizontal plate fixed to the sleeve part. The horizontal plate has two rows of horizontal fixing holes, and the sleeve part is fixed to the side column.

[0019] Furthermore, the elastic pressing assembly includes a pressing screw, a threaded sleeve, a sleeved spring, and a lower connecting plate. The upper shaping wheel is mounted on the lower connecting plate, the pressing screw is screwed onto the threaded sleeve fixed to the parallel plate, and the pressing screw passes through the parallel plate, the threaded sleeve, and the sleeved spring before connecting to the lower connecting plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the number of upper shaping wheels is the same as that of lower shaping wheels, and each lower connecting plate is provided with two upper shaping wheels.

[0021] Furthermore, both the upper and lower shaping grooves are trapezoidal, and the maximum width of the upper shaping groove is smaller than the maximum width of the lower shaping groove.

[0022] A winding process for an intelligent transportation cable winding machine, applied to the intelligent transportation cable winding machine, includes the following steps:

[0023] Step S10: Detect the outer diameter of the cable to be wound, and adjust the shaping distance between the shaping wheels according to the detected outer diameter;

[0024] Step S20: Set the distance from the inner end face of the groove of the lower shaping wheel to the inner end face of the groove of the upper shaping wheel as L1, and the outer diameter of the cable as L2, so that L1 = 0.90 - 0.95 * L2;

[0025] S30 Step: After passing the cable through the shaping part, fix the end to the winding structure;

[0026] Step S40: Machining locking holes for fixing on the snap-fit ​​assembly, with a screw specification of A1 for locking, and a screw specification of A3 corresponding to the locking hole, making A3 two specifications larger than A1.

[0027] S50 Step: Adjust the lower pressing component so that it contacts the winding structure, then start the machine to begin winding;

[0028] S60 step: If the value of the pressure sensor exceeds the predetermined value, it means that the spring is worn out. Replace the spring and rewind it.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] The snap-fit ​​assembly has snap-fit ​​notches on both ends along its inner side. Two snap-fit ​​notches hold the sensor assembly against its inner side.
