Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical connection technology for rail transit vehicles, and in particular to an automatic heat shrink device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of China's economy, urban rail transit has experienced significant growth, leading to more stringent quality requirements for rail transit vehicles. Electrical connection is a crucial and critical process in the manufacturing of new rail transit vehicles. Currently, the heat shrinking process for shielding and sleeves in connector manufacturing relies on hot air guns. However, accurately setting the distance, time, and temperature parameters for these hot air guns inevitably presents several problems. These include manually controlling the position of the hot air gun relative to the cable and the heat shrinking time. Excessive distance results in inadequate heat shrinkage; insufficient distance or excessive time can deform the heat shrink sleeve, potentially damaging the cable. Uneven cable movement during rotation leads to uneven heating, poor cable protection, and compromised connection quality. All these issues affect connector quality, ultimately reducing the overall quality of rail transit vehicles. Therefore, developing effective solutions to the heat shrinking problem is crucial for ensuring the stability of electrical connections and operational safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the problems of uneven heat shrinking, poor effect and low heat shrinking efficiency caused by manually holding a hot air gun in the prior art, which cannot accurately control the heat shrinking range and heat shrinking time. In order to provide an automatic heat shrinking device, it can accurately control the heat shrinking range and heat shrinking time, which not only effectively solves the problems of uneven heat shrinking and poor effect caused by manually controlling the heat shrinking time and distance, but also improves the heat shrinking efficiency.

The lowering handle is provided with a spring-loaded structure, and the raising foot pedal is provided with a reinforcing spring.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cross lift is configured as a double scissor lift.

The first switch 206 is turned on, and the temperature is set. After determining the heating time and mode, the heating head 201 begins heating the cable. During the heating process, the sensor 301 monitors the heat shrinking effect in real time and transmits the data to the control processing module 205. The control processing module 205 then transmits the data to the next level, such as the indicator light 207 displaying the heat shrinking status and effect in real time. The bracket 303 adjusts the cable position based on the data from the sensor 301 to ensure even heating of the cable. The heating telescopic rod extends or retracts based on the data from the sensor 301, allowing the heating head 201 to adapt to heat shrinking operations under different working conditions. After the heat shrinking operation is completed, the control processing module 205...
