Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention; that is, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention. It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this cable cutting device replaces manual labor in cutting cables, thereby improving efficiency, reducing costs, and saving raw materials. The device's specific structural design includes a cable cutting mechanism slidably mounted on a movable structure, which is movably mounted on a cutting platform 1. During cutting, the cable passes through the cutting platform 1. By controlling the positions of the movable structure and the cutting mechanism, the cable's position is adjusted before the cutting mechanism cuts it. Furthermore, to protect the cutting mechanism during cutting, limit protection mechanisms are installed on both sides of the movable structure. These two limit protection mechanisms prevent the cutting mechanism from sliding off the movable structure, thus ensuring the normal operation of the cutting device, extending its service life, reducing maintenance, and saving costs.

[0025] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the cable passes through the cutting platform 1 of the cutting device, and one end of the cable is wound up by a take-up roller (winner). A meter counter, achievable with existing technology, is installed on the cutting platform 1 to record the cable length. Once the cable has been wound to a certain length by the take-up roller, the position of the movable structure and the cutting mechanism mounted on the movable structure is controlled to cut the cable on the cutting platform 1. In implementation, the cutting mechanism includes a laser cutter 2. The outer shell of the laser cutter 2 is connected to a first slider 21, which is slidably connected to a connecting plate 22. The end face of the connecting plate 22 away from the laser cutter 2 is slidably connected to a sliding guide rail 3. Support columns 31 are connected to both ends of the sliding guide rail 3, and each support column 31 is slidably connected to the cutting platform 1. Limit protection mechanisms are connected to both ends of the sliding guide rail 3. To control the movement of the sliding guide rail 3 along the cutting platform 1, electric sliders are installed on the support columns 31, and these electric sliders are slidably connected to the side walls of the cutting platform 1. In implementation, the electric slider drives the sliding guide rail 3 and the adjustable cutting mechanism on the sliding guide rail 3 to move to a suitable position. Then, the first slider 21 of the cutting mechanism is controlled to move along the connecting plate 22, and the laser cutting machine 2 is started simultaneously. With the movement of the sliding guide rail 3, the cable on the cutting platform 1 is cut. In order to ensure that the laser cutting machine 2 moves smoothly along the connecting plate 22, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the cable cutting position and the quality and safety of use, a pushing structure for driving the first slider 21 to slide along the connecting plate 22 is connected to the first slider 21. The pushing structure includes a pushing screw 23. One end of the pushing screw 23 passes through the first slider 21 rotatably through a nut, and the end is connected to the connecting plate 22 through a limiting block. The other end of the pushing screw 23 is connected to a drive cylinder 24. The drive cylinder 24 drives the pushing screw 23 to move. The drive cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 22 away from the limiting block. During implementation, the drive cylinder 24 is controlled to drive the push screw 23 to move, thereby driving the first slider 21 to move along the connecting plate 22, which in turn drives the laser cutting machine 2 to move and cut the cable on the cutting platform 1.

[0026] Furthermore, since the connecting plate 22 moves along the sliding guide rail 3, to prevent the connecting plate 22 from sliding out from both ends of the sliding guide rail 3 and affecting the normal use of the device, limit protection mechanisms are connected to both ends of the sliding guide rail 3 during the design. Both limit protection mechanisms include a limit support rod 41, a limit sliding seat 42, and a fixing plate 43 in their structural design. One end of the limit support rod 41 passes through and is elastically connected to the limit sliding seat 42. The limit support rod 41 is used to limit and protect the cutting mechanism. The limit sliding seat 42 and the fixing plate 43 are slidably arranged, and the fixing plate 43 is fixedly connected to the sliding guide rail 3. Furthermore, baffles 221 are connected to both ends of the connecting plate 22. The baffles 221 contact one end of the limit support rod 41, providing support and limit protection through the limit support rod 41. In this embodiment, when the first slider 21 moves the laser cutter 2 to the two sides of the cutting platform 1 and the baffle 221 abuts against the limiting support rod 41 at one side, the limiting sliding seat 42 moves along the fixed plate 43 under the force of the limiting support rod 41, thereby supporting the baffle 221 through the limiting support rod 41 and preventing the first slider 21 from moving the laser cutter 2 out from both ends of the sliding guide rail 3. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to better limit and support the baffle 221 through the limiting support rod 41 and to allow the limiting sliding seat 42 to reset and be reusable, a guide screw 44 is connected to the end of the limiting sliding seat 42 away from the limiting support rod 41. The other end of the guide screw 44 rotatably passes through the positioning plate 45 and is connected to the guide cylinder 46. The guide cylinder 46 is mounted on the positioning plate 45, and one end of the positioning plate 45 is connected and fixed to the fixing plate 43. In addition, a spring 47 is provided at the end of the limiting support rod 41 away from the connecting plate 22. The spring 47 is sleeved on the limiting support rod 41, and one end of the spring 47 is connected to the limiting sliding seat 42, while the other end of the spring 47 is connected to the positioning plate 45. Thus, when the baffle 221 connected to the cutting mechanism abuts against the limiting support rod 41, and the limiting support rod 41 drives the limiting sliding seat 42 to move along the fixed plate 43, the solenoid valve installed on the fixed plate 43 is activated, and the guide cylinder 46 is activated through existing electrical technology. The guide cylinder 46 drives the guide screw 44 to move, which in turn moves the limiting sliding seat 42 along the fixed plate 43, thus enabling the limiting sliding seat 42 to move smoothly. At this time, the spring 47 connected to the end of the limiting support rod 41 away from the baffle 221 is compressed, and the spring 47 provides "buffer protection" for the limiting sliding seat 42. At the same time, when the connecting plate 22 moves along the sliding guide rail 3 towards the end away from the limiting support rod 41, as the baffle 221 separates from the limiting support rod 41, the guide cylinder 46 drives the guide screw 44 and the spring 47 to reset, allowing the limiting sliding seat 42 to reset, so as to provide "protection" again for the next use.From the perspective of the overall structural design of the cutting device, it can accurately cut cables to the required length. The cutting device is not only simple in structure and easy to operate, but also improves the efficiency of production cutting, reduces the probability of human error in segmentation, and saves materials and costs.
