Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical cable packaging equipment technology, specifically to an automated optical cable packaging equipment and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Optical cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, or environmental performance specifications. They are communication cable assemblies that use one or more optical fibers placed in a protective sheath as the transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups. Optical cables are mainly composed of optical fibers, plastic protective sheaths, and plastic outer sheaths. During transportation or storage, optical cables need to be wound onto a cable reel and then sealed with a sheet material to achieve packaging.

[0003] However, when sealing fiber optic cable reels, smaller reels require prolonged bending and stapling, resulting in poor operational comfort. When stapling larger reels, the reel needs to be rolled after each sheet is stapled. The reel is heavy, increasing labor intensity. Furthermore, the newly stapled sheet is prone to falling off when rolling due to contact with the ground, requiring re-stapling and resulting in poor packaging effectiveness. Stapling requires picking up and stacking the pre-stapled sheets one by one, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and prone to misalignment, easily leading to packaging failure.

[0017] S2: Push the winding reel of the wound optical cable onto the adjustment structure, adjust the rotating structure to connect the rotating structure with the winding reel, and then start the lifting structure to separate the winding reel from the ground.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0040] like Figures 1-14As shown, the automated optical cable packaging equipment of the present invention includes two slide rails 1; an adjustment structure 2, wherein the two slide rails 1 are provided with the adjustment structure 2, the adjustment structure 2 includes two slide tables 201, one slide table 201 is slidably connected to the slide rail 1, and the other slide table 201 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 1, and a support base 202 is fixedly connected to the slide table 201; a lifting structure 3, wherein the support base 202 is provided with the lifting structure 3; a rotating structure 4, wherein the lifting structure 3 is provided with the rotating structure 4; and a winding reel 7, wherein the rotating structure 4 is provided with the winding reel 7.

[0041] The feeding structure 5 is provided on the support base 202. The feeding structure 5 includes a fixing strip 501, which is fixedly connected to the support base 202. Mounting strips 502 are fixedly connected to the fixing strips 501. Each of the two mounting strips 502 has an L-shaped limiting plate 503 fixedly connected to its opposite side. A support plate 504 is provided on each mounting strip 502. A lower opening 510 is provided between the support plate 504 and the limiting plate 503. A second hydraulic rod 505 is fixedly connected to one of the support plates 504. The telescopic end of the second hydraulic rod 505 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped mounting block 506. A T-shaped pusher 507 is engaged on the mounting block 506. The pusher 507 has a mounting groove 508. The mounting block 506 engages with the mounting groove 508. The pusher 507 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 503. Two guide posts 509 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 503. The pusher 507 is slidably connected to the guide posts 509. That is, after the winding reel 7 is raised to the designated position, the second hydraulic rod on the support plate 504 is activated. 505. The second hydraulic rod 505 extends, causing the mounting block 506 to move. The movement of the mounting block 506 in turn causes the pusher 507 to slide on the two guide posts 509. The pusher 507 then pushes the sealing plates stacked on the two support plates 504. Since the cross-section of the pusher 507 is T-shaped, when a sealing plate is pushed to the top of the winding reel 7, the top of the pusher 507 can still support the sealing plates that have not yet fallen. After a sealing plate is pushed out from the lower plate opening 510, the second hydraulic rod 505 retracts, causing the pusher 507 to return to its original position, and the sealing plate between the two limiting plates 503 is closed. The board falls under the influence of gravity. At this time, the operator uses the binding equipment to fix both ends of the binding board to the winding reel 7. After fixing one binding board, the second motor 411 can be started. The second motor 411 drives the rotating seat 401 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating seat 401 drives the insert block 402 to rotate. The insert block 402 drives the winding reel 7 to rotate. Then the second hydraulic rod 505 extends and pushes the new binding board to the unbound position on the winding reel 7. This operation is repeated until the winding reel 7 rotates 360 degrees and is completely bound. Then the lifting structure 3 is started to lower the packaged winding reel 7.

[0042] Specifically, a first motor 203 is fixedly connected to one of the support bases 202, and a screw 204 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 203. The screw 204 is rotatably connected to one of the slides 201, and the screw 204 is threadedly connected to the other slide 201. The screw 204 is rotatably connected to the support base 202, and a fixing seat 205 is fixedly connected to the ends of the two slide rails 1. The screw 204 is rotatably connected to the fixing seat 205.

[0043] The lifting structure 3 includes a fixed plate 301, which is fixedly connected to the support base 202. A first hydraulic rod 302 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 301, and an L-shaped mounting plate 303 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first hydraulic rod 302. The mounting plate 303 is slidably connected to the support base 202, and four rollers 304 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 303. The support base 202 has two sliding grooves 305, and the rollers 304 are tumbledly connected to the sliding grooves 305. That is, when it is necessary to perform packaging operations on optical cable reels 7 of different heights and sizes, the first motor 203 can be started according to the width of the reel 7. The first motor 203 then drives the screw 204 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 204 drives the left slide table 201 to slide on the slide rail 1, thereby adjusting the distance between the two slide tables 201, and the position of the support base 202 also changes. The process involves changing the winding mechanism, then pushing the fiber optic cable reel 7 to the center of the trapezoidal slide 201. The rotating structure 4 is then adjusted to engage with the reel 7. The first hydraulic rod 302 is then activated, causing the mounting plate 303 to rise. This rise in the mounting plate 303, in turn, causes the rotating structure 4 to rise, ultimately lifting the entire reel 7 and separating it from the ground. This avoids prolonged bending by operators to seal the reel 7, reducing labor intensity. The initial and final extension lengths of the first hydraulic rod 302 can be set to ensure the rotating structure 4 aligns with the slot on the reel 7. Simultaneously, it ensures that the top of reels 7 of different diameters corresponds to the first sealing plate on the support plate 504 at the end of the lifting process. As the mounting plate 303 rises and falls, the rollers 304 on both sides of the mounting plate 303 roll inside the slide groove 305, reducing friction and making the ascent and descent of the mounting plate 303 smoother.

[0044] Specifically, the rotating structure 4 includes a rotating base 401, with one rotating base 401 rotatably connected to each of the two mounting plates 303. A hexagonal insert block 402 is slidably connected to each rotating base 401, and a winding reel 7 is inserted between the two insert blocks 402. A first spring 403 is fixedly connected between the insert block 402 and the rotating base 401. A lever 404 is fixedly connected to each insert block 402, and the lever 404 is slidably connected to the rotating base 401. A pressure block 405 is slidably connected to the lever 404, and a connecting strip 406 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 405. The connecting strip 406 is slidably connected to the lever 404, and a locking block 407 is fixedly connected to the connecting strip 406. The locking block 407 is connected to the lever. The components 404 are slidably connected. The rotating base 401 has two slots 408. The locking block 407 engages with one of the slots 408. Multiple guide rods 409 are fixedly connected inside the lever 404. The connecting strip 406 is slidably connected to the guide rods 409. A second spring 410 is sleeved on the outside of each guide rod 409. The two ends of the second spring 410 are fixedly connected to the connecting strip 406 and the lever 404, respectively. A second motor 411 is fixedly connected to one of the mounting plates 303. The output end of the second motor 411 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 401. That is, after the packaged reel 7 is placed down, the pressure block 405 on the lever 404 is pressed, causing the connecting strip 406 to slide. When the connecting bar 406 causes the locking block 407 to disengage from one of the slots 408 on the rotary seat 401, the second spring 410 is compressed. At this time, the lever 404 is pulled, causing the insert block 402 to separate from the winding reel 7. The first spring 403 is compressed, and the pressure block 405 is released. Under the reset action of the second spring 410, the locking block 407 engages into another slot 408. The same method is used to separate the insert block 402 on the other end of the rotary seat 401 from the winding reel 7. When the winding reel 7 needs to be installed, simply press the pressure block 405 on the lever 404. Under the reset action of the first spring 403, the insert block 402 will insert into the corresponding groove on the winding reel 7. The guide rod 409 improves the stability of the sliding of the connecting bar 406. Qualitatively, this design also prevents the second spring 410 from deviating. When it is necessary to replace the pusher 507 according to different lengths of the winding reel 7, it is only necessary to use the second hydraulic rod 505 to drive the mounting block 506 to pull the pusher 507 out completely, separating it from the guide post 509. At this time, the pusher 507 can be removed from the mounting block 506, separating the mounting block 506 from the mounting groove 508. When replacing the new pusher 507, the mounting groove 508 on the new pusher 507 is aligned with the position of the mounting block 506 and inserted. Then, the second hydraulic rod 505 is extended so that the through holes at both ends of the pusher 507 can pass through the guide post 509, thereby facilitating the pushing of sealing plates of different lengths. The setting of the two guide posts 509 makes the pusher 507 slide more stably and makes the sealing plate more stable under force.

[0045] Specifically, the limiting plate 503 is provided with a limiting structure 6, which includes a limiting strip 601. The limiting strip 601 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 503, and the limiting strip 601 is slidably connected to the mounting strip 502. Multiple guide shafts 603 are fixedly connected to the mounting strip 502, and the limiting strip 601 is slidably connected to the guide shafts 603. Multiple third springs 604 are fixedly connected between the mounting strip 502 and the limiting strip 601. An L-shaped pull rod 602 is fixedly connected to the limiting strip 601, and the pull rod 602 is slidably connected to the mounting strip 502. A handle 605 is slidably connected to the end of the pull rod 602. A connecting rod 606 is fixedly connected to a pull rod 602, and the connecting rod 606 is slidably connected to the pull rod 602. A slide bar 607 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 606, and the slide bar 607 is slidably connected to the pull rod 602. Two limiting blocks 608 are fixedly connected to the slide bar 607. A limiting groove 609 is provided on the mounting strip 502, and one of the limiting blocks 608 engages with the limiting groove 609. The limiting block 608 is slidably connected to the pull rod 602. Multiple guide blocks 610 are fixedly connected to the pull rod 602, and the slide bar 607 is slidably connected to the guide blocks 610. Multiple fourth springs 611 are fixedly connected to the slide bar 607 and the pull rod 602. That is: When the sealing plate needs to be loaded onto the two support plates 504, the handles 605 on both sides of the mounting strip 502 can be pulled. The handles 605 slide downwards, thereby driving the connecting rod 606 to slide. The sliding of the connecting rod 606 drives the sliding strip 607 to slide, and the fourth spring 611 is compressed. The sliding of the sliding strip 607 causes the limiting block 608 to separate from the limiting groove 609. At this time, the pull rod 602 can be pulled, and the pull rod 602 drives the limiting strip 601 to slide inside the limiting plate 503. The limiting strip 601 then retracts into the interior of the mounting strip 502 and the limiting plate 503, and the third spring 604 is compressed. At this time, the handles 605 are released. Under the reset action of the fourth spring 611, the other limiting block 608 and the mounting strip 502 are moved together. The limiting groove 609 on plate 02 engages, and then the limiting strip 601 on another limiting plate 503 is stored in the same way. At this time, the limiting strip 601 will not block the stacking area of ​​the board. After the sealing board is stacked, the handle 605 can be pulled to separate the limiting block 608 from the limiting groove 609. Under the reset action of the third spring 604, the limiting strip 601 will be reset, limiting the stacked sealing board and effectively preventing the sealing board from tipping over. The setting of the guide shaft 603 improves the sliding stability of the limiting strip 601 and effectively prevents the third spring 604 from deviating. The setting of the guide block 610 improves the sliding stability of the slide bar 607 and prevents the fourth spring 611 from deviating.

[0046] A method of using an automated optical cable packaging equipment includes the following steps:

[0047] S1: First, adjust the adjustment structure 2 according to the different batches and models of the coil take-up 7, and then set the initial height and end height of the lifting structure 3. Use a forklift to fork the stacked sealing plate onto the feeding structure 5, and open the limit structure 6 to limit the stacked sealing plate.

[0048] S2: Push the winding reel 7 with the wound optical cable onto the adjusting structure 2, adjust the rotating structure 4 to make the rotating structure 4 and the winding reel 7 interlock, then start the lifting structure 3 to separate the winding reel 7 from the ground. After the winding reel 7 rises to the designated height, start the feeding structure 5. The feeding structure 5 pushes the bottom sealing plate onto the winding reel 7. The worker installs the sealing plate onto the winding reel 7 using the sealing machine. After one plate is sealed, start the rotating structure 3 to drive the winding reel 7 to rotate to the position of one sealing plate. Then the feeding structure 5 continues to work, pushing a new sealing plate onto the winding reel 7 for sealing.

[0049] S3: Finally, the sealed reel 7 is lowered by the lifting structure 3. After the reel 7 comes into contact with the adjusting structure 2, the adjusting rotating structure 4 is adjusted so that it is no longer inserted between itself and the packaged reel 7. Then the sealed reel 7 is pushed away, and the unsealed reel 7 is pushed onto the adjusting structure 2 to continue the sealing and packaging of the next reel 7.

[0050] In use, when it is necessary to encapsulate optical cable reels 7 of different heights and sizes, the first motor 203 can be activated according to the width of the reel 7. The first motor 203 then drives the screw 204 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 204 causes the left slide 201 to slide on the slide rail 1, thereby adjusting the distance between the two slides 201 and changing the position of the support 202. Then, the reel 7 with the optical cable wound is pushed to the center of the trapezoidal slide 201. Then, the rotating structure 4 is adjusted to connect with the reel 7. Then, the first hydraulic rod 302 is activated, which drives the mounting plate 303 to rise. The mounting plate 303 rises, driving the rotating structure 4 to rise, which in turn raises the entire winding reel 7, separating it from the ground. This avoids operators having to bend over for long periods to seal the winding reel 7, reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the starting and ending extension lengths of the first hydraulic rod 302 can be set to ensure that the rotating structure 4 can align with the slot on the winding reel 7. It also ensures that the top of the winding reels 7 of different diameters corresponds to the first sealing plate on the support plate 504 when the lifting ends. When the mounting plate 303 rises and falls, the rollers 304 on both sides of the mounting plate 303 roll inside the slide groove 305, thereby reducing friction and making the rise and fall of the mounting plate 303 smoother.

[0051] Then, after raising the winding reel 7 to the designated position, the second hydraulic rod 505 on the support plate 504 is activated. The second hydraulic rod 505 extends, causing the mounting block 506 to move. The movement of the mounting block 506 then causes the pusher 507 to slide on the two guide posts 509. The pusher 507 then pushes the sealing plates stacked on the two support plates 504. Since the cross-section of the pusher 507 is T-shaped, when a sealing plate is pushed to the top of the winding reel 7, the top of the pusher 507 can still support the sealing plate that has not yet fallen. After a sealing plate is pushed out from the lower plate opening 510, the second hydraulic rod 505 retracts, causing the pusher 507 to return to its original position. The sealing plate between the two limit plates 503 falls under the action of gravity. At this time, the operator... The operator uses the binding equipment to fix both ends of the binding plate to the take-up reel 7. After fixing one binding plate, the second motor 411 can be started. The second motor 411 drives the rotating seat 401 to rotate, which in turn drives the insert block 402 to rotate. The insert block 402 drives the take-up reel 7 to rotate. Then, the second hydraulic rod 505 extends, pushing the new binding plate to the unbound position on the take-up reel 7. This operation is repeated until the take-up reel 7 has rotated 360 degrees and is fully bound. Then, the lifting structure 3 is activated to lower the packaged take-up reel 7. After the packaged take-up reel 7 is lowered, the pressure block 405 on the lever 404 is pressed. The pressure block 405 drives the connecting strip 406 to slide. The connecting strip 406 drives the locking block 407 to no longer engage with the rotating seat 401. When one of the slots 408 on the 1st plate engages, the second spring 410 is compressed. At this time, the lever 404 is pulled, and the lever 404 causes the insert 402 to separate from the take-up reel 7. The first spring 403 is compressed, and the pressure block 405 is released. Under the reset action of the second spring 410, the locking block 407 engages into another slot 408. The same method is used to separate the insert 402 on the other end of the rotary seat 401 from the take-up reel 7. When the take-up reel 7 needs to be installed, simply press the pressure block 405 on the lever 404. Under the reset action of the first spring 403, the insert 402 will be inserted into the corresponding groove on the take-up reel 7. The guide rod 409 improves the stability of the sliding of the connecting strip 406 and avoids the second spring 406 from moving. When the second spring 410 deviates, and the pusher 507 needs to be replaced according to the different lengths of the winding reel 7, it is only necessary to use the second hydraulic rod 505 to drive the mounting block 506 to pull the pusher 507 out completely, so that it is separated from the guide post 509. At this time, the pusher 507 can be removed from the mounting block 506, so that the mounting block 506 is separated from the mounting groove 508. When replacing the new pusher 507, the mounting groove 508 on the new pusher 507 is aligned with the position of the mounting block 506 and inserted. Then, the second hydraulic rod 505 is extended so that the guide post 509 is inserted through the through holes at both ends of the pusher 507, which facilitates the pushing of sealing plates of different lengths. The setting of the two guide posts 509 makes the pusher 507 slide more stably and makes the sealing plate more stable under force.

[0052] Finally, when it is necessary to load the sealing plate onto the two support plates 504, the handles 605 on both sides of the mounting strip 502 can be pulled. The handles 605 slide downwards, thereby driving the connecting rod 606 to slide. The sliding of the connecting rod 606 drives the sliding strip 607 to slide, compressing the fourth spring 611. The sliding of the sliding strip 607 causes the limiting block 608 to separate from the limiting groove 609. At this time, the pull rod 602 can be pulled, causing the limiting strip 601 to slide inside the limiting plate 503. The limiting strip 601 then retracts into the interior of the mounting strip 502 and the limiting plate 503, compressing the third spring 604. At this time, the handles 605 can be released. Under the reset action of the fourth spring 611, the other limiting block 608 is driven to separate from the mounting strip 502. The limiting groove 609 on strip 502 engages, and then the limiting strip 601 on another limiting plate 503 is stored in the same way. At this time, the limiting strip 601 will not block the board stacking area. After the sealing board is stacked, the handle 605 can be pulled to separate the limiting block 608 from the limiting groove 609. Under the reset action of the third spring 604, the limiting strip 601 will be reset, limiting the stacked sealing board and effectively preventing the sealing board from tipping over. The setting of the guide shaft 603 improves the sliding stability of the limiting strip 601 and effectively prevents the third spring 604 from deviating. The setting of the guide block 610 improves the sliding stability of the slide 607 and prevents the fourth spring 611 from deviating.
