Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of detecting whether a broken frame is broken during the online production of data cables, and more specifically, to a device for detecting broken frames during the online production process of data cables. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous enhancement of my country's national strength, infrastructure construction in various fields has developed rapidly. Among them, data cables, as the central nervous system of signal transmission, are increasingly widely used in various fields. This type of data cable typically consists of a cable core, a cross-shaped frame, and an insulating polyethylene sheath covering the cable core. This sheath isolates the four pairs of twisted wires, placing each pair in one of the four grooves of the cross-shaped frame. This ensures the relative position of the four pairs of twisted wires, improving the cable's balance characteristics and reducing signal crosstalk. With the added effect of this cross-shaped frame, the signal is more stable and the transmission effect is better.

[0003] However, during the production of data cables, broken frame members frequently occur, severely impacting the quality and safety of the cables. Because the equipment does not automatically stop after a frame breakage, it is difficult to accurately locate the break point, making repairs challenging and significantly increasing cable costs.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a device for detecting broken skeletons during the online production process of data cables. Summary of the Invention

The triggering structure then sends the position information of the U-shaped bracket corresponding to the broken part of the cable support frame to the main controller. This allows relevant personnel to know immediately when the cable support frame breaks, accurately determine the location of the break, and facilitates quick and targeted repair by maintenance personnel. This avoids the increased operating costs and low maintenance efficiency caused by replacing the entire frame due to the difficulty in determining the break point, and also improves the safety of data cable use.

[0033] 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. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a device for detecting broken cable supports during the online production process of data cables. The device includes a cable support frame 1 and a main controller. The main controller described herein is a common existing technology such as a computer that performs control functions. A cross-shaped partition plate 2 is connected internally to the cable support frame 1. Multiple U-shaped brackets 4 are evenly arranged externally on the cable support frame 1. Each U-shaped bracket 4 has a wheel frame 6 located below the cable support frame 1 within its inner cavity. Each wheel frame 6 has a rotatably connected abutment wheel 5 within its inner cavity. A pressure bar 8 is connected to the bottom of the wheel frame 6, and a telescopic spring 9 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the pressure bar 8. A telescopic rod 7 is also provided below the wheel frame 6. Each U-shaped bracket 4 has a trigger structure at its bottom that sends the position information of the U-shaped bracket 4 corresponding to the broken part to the main controller after the cable support frame 1 breaks. The free end of the telescopic rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the wheel frame 6, and the fixed end of the telescopic rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket 4. The bottom end of the pressure bar 8 passes through the bottom of the U-shaped bracket 4, the top end of the telescopic spring 9 is connected to the bottom of the wheel frame 6, and the bottom end of the telescopic spring 9 is connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket 4. The top of the abutment wheel 5 is in close contact with the surface of the bottom of the cable support frame 1.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This invention provides a device for detecting broken frame members during the online production process of data cables. The triggering structure includes a bottom support bracket 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of a U-shaped bracket 4. A limit switch 11 is connected inside the bottom support bracket 10, and a wireless signal transmitting module 12 is connected to the limit switch 11. The wireless signal transmitting module 12 is a DMX512 wireless signal transmitter. A rectangular insert 14 with a cuboid structure is connected to the end of the limit switch 11. The end of the rectangular insert 14 away from the limit switch 11 passes through the side wall of the bottom support bracket 10, and a row of right-angle slots is evenly formed on the top surface of the rectangular insert 14. Positioning components are provided at the corresponding positions on the side wall of the bottom support bracket 10 and the rectangular insert 14. The bottom end of the pressure bar 8 connected to the bottom of the wheel frame 6 is above the swing arm in the limit switch 11 below the wheel frame 6. When the cable support frame 1, which contains the data cable 3 and is suspended on an external cable rack, breaks, the broken part of the cable support frame 1, under the action of gravity, causes the abutment wheel 5 located below it to move downward. This causes the pressure bar 8, which moves downward synchronously with the abutment wheel 5, to apply downward pressure to the swing arm in the limit switch 11 located below it. This causes the internal contacts of the limit switch 11 to close, thus completing the circuit and activating the wireless signal transmission module 12. The wireless signal transmission module 12 then sends the position information of the U-shaped bracket 4 corresponding to the broken part of the cable support frame 1 to the main controller. This allows relevant personnel to know immediately when the cable support frame 1 breaks, accurately determine the broken part, and facilitates maintenance personnel to quickly and specifically repair the broken part. This avoids the increased usage costs and low maintenance efficiency caused by the traditional method of replacing the entire frame due to the difficulty in determining the break point, and also improves the safety of the data cable.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3This invention provides a device for detecting broken skeletons during the online production of data cables. The positioning component includes a side connector 13 fixedly connected to the side wall of the bottom connector 10. A rectangular straight hole is provided through the side connector 13 for the end of a square insert 14 to pass through. A screw hole communicating with the rectangular straight hole is provided through the top of the side connector 13. An adjusting screw 15 is threaded into the screw hole. A pressure spring 16 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the adjusting screw 15. A driven post 17 is connected to the bottom end of the pressure spring 16. A wedge-shaped chamfer is provided at the bottom end of the driven post 17, which can be snapped into a right-angle slot. A correction slider 18 is also connected to the side wall of the driven post 17. A positioning groove is provided on the side wall of the screw hole, and the correction slider 18 is slidably connected in the positioning groove. By loosening the adjusting screw 15, the wedge-shaped chamfered part that was originally locked in the right-angle slot moves upward. After the wedge-shaped chamfered part disengages from the right-angle slot, the square insert 14 is pulled out from the rectangular straight hole on the side connector 13, so that the limit switch 11 can be quickly removed from the bottom connector bracket 10. This makes it convenient for people to disassemble and install the limit switch 11. When the limit switch 11 malfunctions, people can quickly remove the limit switch 11 from the bottom connector bracket 10 and repair it.

[0037] Working principle: When the cable support frame 1, which contains the data cable 3 and is suspended on an external cable rack, breaks, the broken part of the cable support frame 1, under the action of gravity, causes the abutment wheel 5 located below it to move downward. This causes the pressure bar 8, which moves downward synchronously with the abutment wheel 5, to apply downward pressure to the swing arm in the limit switch 11 located below it. This causes the internal contacts of the limit switch 11 to close, thus completing the circuit and activating the wireless signal transmission module 12. The wireless signal transmission module 12 then sends the position information of the U-shaped bracket 4 corresponding to the broken part of the cable support frame 1 to the main controller. This allows relevant personnel to know immediately when the cable support frame 1 breaks, accurately determine the broken part, and facilitates maintenance personnel to quickly and specifically repair the broken part. This avoids the increased usage costs and low maintenance efficiency caused by the traditional method of replacing the entire frame due to the difficulty in determining the break point, and also improves the safety of the data cable.

[0038] By loosening the adjusting screw 15, the wedge-shaped chamfered part that was originally locked in the right-angle slot moves upward. After the wedge-shaped chamfered part disengages from the right-angle slot, the square insert 14 is pulled out from the rectangular straight hole on the side connector 13, so that the limit switch 11 can be quickly removed from the bottom connector bracket 10. This makes it convenient for people to disassemble and install the limit switch 11. When the limit switch 11 malfunctions, people can quickly remove the limit switch 11 from the bottom connector bracket 10 and repair it.
