Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power operation technology, and more specifically to a portable cable wrapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Wrapped cables are widely used in power operations, offering superior waterproofing, insulation, and construction flexibility. Currently, cable wrapping is primarily done manually on-site. Its main drawbacks are the long wrapping time, low efficiency, and high skill requirements for the workers. Furthermore, to ensure the wrapping tape is tightly and smoothly wrapped around the cable core, a certain tension must be applied. Therefore, controlling the wrapping tension is crucial for cable production quality. Manual wrapping, however, cannot effectively control the wrapping tension, angle, and speed, leading to uneven insulation material distribution and affecting overall dimensions, insulation performance, and waterproofing.

[0003] While there are automatic wrapping devices in related technologies, they are bulky and large, making them difficult to use handheld in confined spaces. Furthermore, each device can only wrap the matching cable, limiting its application scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a portable cable wrapping device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] An embodiment of the present invention provides a portable cable wrapping device, comprising: a device housing; a C-shaped gear, a portion of an annular external gear of the C-shaped gear, one side of the C-shaped gear being fixed to the device housing via a first slide rail, and the other side of the C-shaped gear being fixed to a fixing mechanism via a second slide rail, with a cable passing through the inner axis of the C-shaped gear; a first gear and a second gear, the first gear and the second gear being spaced a first preset distance apart and meshing with the C-shaped gear; a first synchronous gear and a second synchronous gear, the first synchronous gear and the second synchronous gear being coaxially meshed with the first gear and the second gear respectively; a third synchronous pulley, the third synchronous pulley being connected to the first synchronous gear and the second synchronous gear via a synchronous belt; a reducer, the reducer being fixed to the device housing; and a revolution motor, the revolution motor... The motor is fixed to the housing of the equipment. The revolving motor is connected to the reducer. The revolving motor drives the third synchronous pulley to rotate, thereby driving the first synchronous gear and the second synchronous gear to rotate via the synchronous belt, which in turn drives the first gear and the second gear to rotate, and further drives the C-type gear to rotate. A wrapping tape roll and a self-rotating motor are located on opposite sides of the C-type gear. The wrapping tape roll is coaxially connected to the self-rotating motor, and the self-rotating motor is rigidly connected to the C-type gear. The axis of the cable is parallel to the axis of the self-rotating motor, and the self-rotating motor drives the rotation of the wrapping tape roll. A controller is connected to both the revolving motor and the self-rotating motor. The controller controls the speed of the revolving motor and the self-rotating motor to achieve constant tension wrapping of the cable.

[0007] The portable cable wrapping device of the present invention also has the following additional technical features:

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first preset distance is greater than the distance between the openings of the C-type gear.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism includes a left-side fixing mechanism and a right-side fixing mechanism.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the C-shaped gear is provided with grooves around its perimeter to be fixedly connected to the first slide rail and the second slide rail through the grooves.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the opening spacing of the C-type gear is greater than the diameter of the cable after wrapping.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0015] This invention uses a C-shaped gear, which can be used to wrap cables of different models as long as they can be inserted into the C-shaped gear, and the wrapped cables can be easily removed.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a front view of a portable cable wrapping device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2This is a side view of a portable cable wrapping device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a perspective view of a portable cable wrapping device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the wrapping tape roll and the self-rotating motor of a portable cable wrapping device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the portable cable wrapping device includes: a device housing 1, a C-type gear 7, a first gear 2, a second gear 3, a fixing mechanism 5, a first slide rail 17, a second slide rail 18, a first synchronous gear 13, a second synchronous gear 14, a third synchronous wheel 12, a reducer 10, a revolution motor 11, a wrapping tape roll 16, a rotation motor 4, and a controller 20.

[0023] Among them, C-type gear 7 is part of a ring external gear. One side of C-type gear 7 is fixed to the equipment housing 1 via the first slide rail 17, and the other side of C-type gear 7 is fixed to the fixing mechanism 5 via the second slide rail 18. Cable 19 passes through the inner axis of C-type gear 7. The first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are separated by a first preset distance and mesh with C-type gear 7. The first synchronous gear 13 and the second synchronous gear 14 mesh coaxially with the first gear 2 and the second gear 3, respectively. The third synchronous pulley 12 is connected to the first synchronous gear 13 and the second synchronous gear 14 via a synchronous belt 15. The reducer 10 is fixed to the equipment housing 1. The revolution motor 11 is fixed to the equipment housing 1. The reducer 10 is connected, and the revolution motor 11 drives the third synchronous pulley 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the first synchronous gear 13 and the second synchronous gear 14 to rotate via the synchronous belt 15, thereby driving the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 to rotate, and then driving the C-type gear 7 to rotate. The spin motor 4 and the wrapping tape roll 16 are located on both sides of the C-type gear 7. The wrapping tape roll 16 is coaxially connected to the spin motor 4, and the spin motor 4 is rigidly connected to the C-type gear 7. The axis of the cable 19 is parallel to the axis of the spin motor 4. The spin motor 4 is used to drive the rotation of the wrapping tape roll 16. The controller 20 is connected to the revolution motor 11 and the spin motor 4. The controller 20 controls the speed of the revolution motor 11 and the spin motor 4 to achieve constant tension wrapping of the cable.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first preset distance is greater than the opening distance of the C-type gear 7. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the fixing mechanism 5 includes a left fixing mechanism and a right fixing mechanism. Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 5 in the text refers to the right fixing mechanism. The C-gear 7 has grooves around its circumference for fixed connection with the first slide rail 17 and the second slide rail 18. The opening spacing of the C-gear is greater than the diameter of the wrapped cable.

[0025] Specifically, the distance between the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 that mesh with the C-type gear 7 is greater than the opening distance of the C-type gear 7, and any cable 19 whose diameter after wrapping is smaller than the opening distance of the C-type gear 7 can be placed in it for wrapping.

[0026] The self-rotating motor 4 is fixed to the C-gear 7 and can drive the coaxial wrapping tape roll 16 to rotate. The orbital motor 11 is connected to the reducer 10, and the orbital motor 11 and the reducer 10 are fixed to the equipment housing 1. The reducer 10 plays the role of matching the speed and transmitting torque between the orbital motor and the synchronous pulley. The purpose of the reducer 10 is to reduce the speed and increase the torque. The orbital motor 11 drives the third synchronous pulley 12 to rotate, which drives the first synchronous gear 13 and the second synchronous gear 14 to rotate through the synchronous belt 15, thereby driving the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 to rotate, and then driving the C-gear 7 that meshes with them to rotate. Thus, the controller controls the orbital motor 11 and the self-rotating motor 4 to wind the wrapping tape roll 16 onto the cable. The rotation speed of the orbital motor 11 according to the setting value of the controller 21 determines the wrapping speed of the wrapping tape roll 16. The lateral feed along the cable is determined by the speed of the personnel moving the equipment, or by setting guide wheels. When the cable shaft 19 and the C-gear shaft do not align, or when the radius of the wrapping tape roll changes, causing inconsistent tension, the controller adjusts the speeds of the self-rotating motor 4 and the orbital motor 11 in real time to resolve the issue. Adjusting the speed of the self-rotating motor 4 controls the tape tension, while adjusting the speed of the orbital motor 11 controls the wrapping speed. Simultaneously, maintenance personnel manually move the device laterally along the cable to feed and complete the wrapping process.

[0027] Therefore, the use of C-type gears facilitates the operation of the device and the removal of the wrapped cable. Cables of different models can be wrapped as long as they can be placed into the C-type gears. It is compatible with different cable heads and wrapping tapes. By controlling the speed of the revolution motor and the rotation motor, constant tension wrapping of the cable can be achieved, which improves the uneven distribution of insulation material caused by uneven wrapping force in manual winding. Moreover, the entire device has a simple structure, small size, light weight, and portability. It can be applied to complex and narrow construction sites, is easy to use, and has a wide range of applications.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the portable cable wrapping device described above may further include: a stop (not specifically shown in the figure) and a proximity switch 8. The stop is mounted on the left or right fixing mechanism; the proximity switch 8 is mounted on the C-gear 7 and is connected to the controller 20. The proximity switch 8 is used to detect the distance between itself and the stop and to determine whether the opening of the C-gear 7 has rotated to the opening position based on the distance between itself and the stop.

[0029] Specifically, the cable is threaded through the C-gear 7, which is equipped with a proximity switch 8. The proximity switch 8 rotates with the C-gear 7. When the proximity switch 8 rotates to the stop position, it will send a switch signal. After the wrapping is completed, the controller 20 can stop the C-gear 7 from rotating according to the switch signal, so that the C-gear 7 can rotate to the open position after the wrapping is completed, so that the cable can be easily taken out.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable cable wrapping device described above may further include: a battery, which is connected to a revolution motor, a rotation motor and a controller respectively, and the battery is used to supply power to the revolution motor, the rotation motor and the controller.

[0031] Specifically, the orbital motor 11, the self-rotating motor 4, and the controller 20 are all powered by batteries to improve portability and avoid cable tangling when wrapping the package.

[0032] In summary, the portable cable wrapping device according to the embodiments of the present invention adopts a C-type gear, which can wrap cables of different models as long as they can be inserted into the C-type gear. It is compatible with different cable heads and wrapping tapes. By controlling the rotation speed of the revolution motor and the rotation motor, constant tension wrapping of the cable can be achieved, which improves the uneven distribution of insulation material caused by uneven wrapping force in manual wrapping. Moreover, the entire device has a simple structure, small size, light weight, and portability. It can be applied to complex and narrow construction occasions, is easy to use, and has a wide range of applications.
