Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cable sheath molding, and in particular to a sheath extrusion device suitable for use in the production process of optical cables. Background Art
[0002] Optical cable cables are usually composed of a central optical fiber core, optical fiber cladding, buffer layer, reinforcement layer and outer sheath. The sheath is the outer layer of the optical cable, which protects the optical fiber and other internal structures from the external environment. In the optical cable production process, the sheath extrusion equipment is used to apply a layer of sheath material to the outside of the optical cable. The sheath material can be various plastics, such as polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), etc. These materials have excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, and can protect the optical cable from physical damage and chemical corrosion. The extrusion equipment melts the plastic material through heating and pressure, and extrude it through a mold to form the sheath of the optical cable. The extruder pushes the molten raw plastic into the mold, and the sheath is formed by the shape of the mold. The molded sheath is cooled by the cooling system, and finally the optical cable is pulled out and reeled by the traction system.
[0003] However, as the winding roller reels the cable, the cable's movement speed will gradually increase. This is mainly because when the cable is wound onto the reel, the reel's diameter will gradually increase. With each rotation, the length of the cable wound by the winding roller will also increase. As the reel diameter increases, the length of the path that the winding roller travels through each rotation becomes longer. Therefore, the linear speed of the cable moving in the extruder will gradually increase, resulting in the following defects:
[0004] Sheath thickness: During the sheath extrusion process, the thickness of the sheath is usually related to the moving speed of the cable and the material flow of the extruder. If the cable moving speed increases and the material flow of the extruder is not properly adjusted, the sheath thickness will become thinner because the extrusion speed of the sheath material cannot keep up with the moving speed of the cable.
[0005] Uniformity: Changes in moving speed result in uneven distribution of the sheath material on the optical cable, which affects the overall uniformity and consistency of the sheath. If the speed changes quickly, the sheath material may not be able to evenly wrap the optical fiber bundle, resulting in local uneven thickness of the sheath. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the problem in the prior art that as the reel is wound, the linear speed of the cable moving in the extruder gradually increases, resulting in thinner sheath thickness, a sheath extrusion device suitable for the production process of optical cables is proposed.

[0039] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0040] Example 1, reference Figure 1-6, which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a sheath extrusion device suitable for the production process of optical cables, including: a base 1, an extruder 2 is installed on the base 1, the cable to be formed with a sheath layer is passed through the extruder 2 to form a sheath on the cable surface, and the extruder head of the extruder 2 is replaceable, so that sheath layers of different thicknesses can be formed; a winder is arranged on one side of the extruder 2, and the cable with a sheath layer formed on the winding surface is wound; a cooling system is arranged between the extruder 2 and the winder to cool the sheath on the cable surface; the sheath extrusion device also includes an insulation barrel 3, and the sheath material in the molten state is added to the insulation barrel 3, the insulation barrel 3 is connected to the top of the extruder 2, and a cylinder 5 is installed on the barrel top of the insulation barrel 3, and the output end of the cylinder 5 extends into the insulation barrel 3 and is provided with a sealing push plate 35, the sealing push plate 35 and the insulation barrel 3 are sealingly and slidably connected, and the cylinder 5 pushes the sealing push plate 35 to move downward in the insulation barrel 3, and the sheath material in the insulation barrel 3 is squeezed, so that the sheath material enters the extruder 2; Support frame 6, support frame 6 is connected to the cooling system through a connecting column, a tachometer wheel 7 is rotatably connected inside the support frame 6, and anti-skid patterns are arranged on the surface of the tachometer wheel 7 to increase the friction between the tachometer wheel 7 and the surface of the cable sheath, and the tachometer wheel 7 abuts against the cable, and the movement of the cable drives the tachometer wheel 7 to rotate; magnet 8 and reed switch 9, magnet 8 is connected to the side wall of the tachometer wheel 7, and the reed switch 9 is connected to the inner wall of the support frame 6 at the position corresponding to the magnet 8, and when the cable moves, the tachometer wheel 7 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the tachometer wheel The magnet 8 on 7 rotates, and when the magnet 8 is close to the reed switch 9, the reed switch 9 will turn on the circuit. Conversely, when the magnet 8 is away from the reed switch 9, the reed switch 9 will disconnect the circuit; the host code meter 10 and the controller 11, the host code meter 10 is installed on the outer wall of the support frame 6, and the controller 11 is installed on the cooling system. The host code meter 10 is connected to the reed switch 9 and the controller 11 through wire signals, and the controller 11 is connected to the cylinder 5 through wire control, and the electrical equipment of the entire device is powered by an external power supply.
[0041] Specifically, when the cable passes through the extruder 2, a sheath is formed on its surface, and then enters the cooling system to cool the sheath layer. As the cable is reeled up by the reel, the cable moves in the cooling system, driving the speed measuring wheel 7 to rotate. Each time the speed measuring wheel 7 rotates one circle, it will periodically approach the reed switch 9 once. The reed switch 9 transmits a signal to the host code meter 10 to obtain the rotation speed of the speed measuring wheel 7. The host code meter 10 transmits the rotation speed of the speed measuring wheel 7 to the controller 11, thereby obtaining the moving speed Y of the cable. As the number of cables wound up on the reel increases, the diameter becomes larger, and the winding speed gradually increases, the controller 11 obtains the increasingly faster cable movement signal, controls the cylinder 5 to increase the output speed of the sealing push plate 35 during the downward stroke, increases the extrusion force on the material in the insulation barrel 3, thereby increasing the flow rate of the material entering the extruder 2, thereby ensuring the quality of the sheath formation and avoiding the occurrence of local uneven thickness.
[0042] Set a threshold value X, where X is the moving speed of the cable. When Y < X, the controller 11 controls the cylinder 5 to squeeze downward at a constant speed; when Y ≥ X, the controller 11 gradually increases the output speed of the cylinder 5 during the downward stroke according to the increase of the Y value.
[0043] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 Refer to
[0044] Specifically, when the cable is slack during the winding and movement process, the compressed spring 15 will push the support tube 13 upward, thereby driving the tension wheel 14 to move, ensuring the stability of the cable tension during the movement process.
[0045] Refer to Figure 1-3 Refer to
[0046] Specifically, the molten sheath material is pressed into the feeding pipe 33, pushes open the one-way valve 34 and then is supplemented into the heat preservation barrel 3.
[0047] During use, as the winding machine winds, the moving speed of the cable becomes faster, and the rotation speed of the speed measuring wheel 7 also continuously increases. Every time the speed measuring wheel 7 rotates one circle, it will periodically approach the reed switch 9 once. The reed switch 9 transmits the signal to the host meter 10 to obtain the rotation speed of the speed measuring wheel 7. The host meter 10 transmits the rotation speed of the speed measuring wheel 7 to the controller 11. The controller 11 obtains the moving speed of the cable. While the moving speed of the cable increases, it controls the cylinder 5 to increase the output speed, increasing the extrusion pressure on the material in the heat preservation barrel 3, thereby increasing the flow rate of the material entering the extruder 2, thus ensuring the quality of the sheath formation and avoiding the situation of uneven thickness in some parts.
[0048] Embodiment 2, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7, which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the cooling system includes a circulating water tank 16 arranged between the extruder 2 and the winder, the lower end of the spring 15 is connected to the inner tank bottom of the circulating water tank 16, a front water storage plate 17 and a rear water storage plate 18 are symmetrically connected in the circulating water tank 16, two circumferential solid-shaped mechanisms are symmetrically connected in the circulating water tank 16 located between the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18, the cable passes through the two circumferential solid-shaped mechanisms in sequence, the speed measuring wheel 7 and the two circumferential solid-shaped mechanisms are connected by a transmission mechanism, the bottoms of both ends of the circulating water tank 16 located outside the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18 are connected with water outlets, the bottoms of the circulating water tank 16 located inside the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18 are connected with a water inlet, the opposite sides of the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18 are provided with guide plates 4 with respect to the cable, and the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18 are provided with recesses for the cable to move through.
[0049] Specifically, when the tachometer wheel 7 rotates, force is applied to the two circumferential solid mechanisms through the transmission mechanism. The two circumferential solid mechanisms perform circumferential compression on the surface of the cable sheath. External cold water is continuously replenished into the circulating water tank 16 through the water inlet to store water, so as to cool the cable surface sheath in this section. The water that absorbs heat then passes through the recesses on the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18, and is then discharged through the water outlets on both sides. The water between the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18 is guided by the guide plate 4, so that the water flows out in a directional manner, thereby improving the cooling effect on the cable surface sheath.
[0050] Reference Figure 7-8 The circumferential solid-shaped mechanism includes two rotating frames 19 connected to the inner wall of the circulating water tank 16, and a circumferential tube 20 is arranged between the two rotating frames 19 through two bearings for common rotation. A plurality of solid-shaped components are arranged in a ring shape with the cable as the axis in the circumferential tube 20, and a circumferential compression component is commonly arranged on the plurality of solid-shaped mechanisms.
[0051] Specifically, the plurality of solid components in the circumferential tube 20 are squeezed by the circumferential pressing component, so that the sheath cooled on the cable surface is circumferentially pressed, so that the solidification effect is improved and the uniformity of the sheath forming is ensured.
[0052] Reference Figure 8-10 The solid component includes an extrusion plate 21 movably arranged in the circumferential tube 20. The side of the extrusion plate 21 close to the front water storage plate 17 is set to an arc shape. The side of the extrusion plate 21 close to the cable is evenly distributed in the horizontal direction and inlaid with multiple rolling solid balls 22. A passive telescopic rod 23 is symmetrically connected between the extrusion plate 21 and the circumferential tube 20, and the solid balls 22 are rollingly connected to the cable.
[0053] Specifically, the arc position of the extrusion plate 21 facilitates the cable to pass through the circumferential solidification mechanism. Under the pressure of the circumferential compression component, the solidification balls 22 on the multiple extrusion plates 21 are squeezed onto the sheath surface of the cable, thereby improving the solidification effect.
[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7-8 The transmission mechanism includes a support rod 24 symmetrically connected between the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18 with respect to the circumferential solid mechanism, a driving frame 25 is movably arranged in the circulating water tank 16 between the front water storage plate 17 and the rear water storage plate 18, the support rod 24 movably penetrates the driving frame 25, one end of the speed measuring wheel 7 movably penetrates the support frame 6 and is provided with a driving wheel 26, a driving pin 27 is arranged on the other side of the driving wheel 26, a driving bar 28 is hingedly connected to the driving pin 27 and the driving frame 25, and a driving groove 29 adjacent to each other and in a wave shape is opened on the outer tube wall of the circumferential tube 20, a pushing pin 30 is symmetrically and movably arranged in the driving groove 29, and the other end of the pushing pin 30 is arranged on the corresponding inner side wall of the driving bar 28.
[0055] Specifically, the driving frame 25 is supported to a certain extent by the support rod 24. When the speed measuring wheel 7 rotates, it drives the driving wheel 26 to rotate synchronously. Then, through the transmission of the driving pin 27 and the driving bar 28, the driving frame 25 is pulled to perform reciprocating horizontal motion on the support rod 24, thereby driving the pushing pin 30 on the driving frame 25 to move back and forth in the driving groove 29 in the circumferential tube 20, thereby pushing the circumferential tube 20 to reciprocate circumferentially in the rotating frame 19, and then the extrusion plate 21 is driven to perform synchronous circumferential motion through the passive telescopic rod 23, so that the solid ball 22 is reciprocated circumferentially rolled on the surface of the cable sheath moving along the linear motion, so that the solidification forming effect is improved.
[0056] Reference Fig.10 The circumferential compression component includes compression recesses 31 evenly distributed along the horizontal straight line direction and connected to the side of the extrusion plate 21 away from the cable. An elastic rope ring 32 is commonly sleeved on multiple compression recesses 31 located on the same vertical plane, and the elastic rope ring 32 is in a deformed state.
[0057] Specifically, the restoring force of the elastic rope ring 32 applies an inward extrusion force to the compression concave block 31, thereby pushing the compression plate 21 to apply pressure in the direction of the cable.
[0058] During use, the cable passes through the circumferential tube 20, and under the action of the restoring force of the elastic rope ring 32, the compression concave block 31 pushes the extrusion plate 21, so that the solid ball 22 pushing the extrusion plate 21 is squeezed on the sheath surface of the cable, and the speed measuring wheel 7 rotates to drive the driving wheel 26 to rotate, and then through the transmission of the driving pin 27 and the driving bar 28, the driving frame 25 is pulled to perform reciprocating horizontal motion on the support rod 24, and the pushing pin 30 on the driving frame 25 moves back and forth in the driving groove 29 in the circumferential tube 20, thereby pushing the circumferential tube 20 to reciprocate circumferentially in the rotating frame 19, and then the extrusion plate 21 is driven to perform synchronous circumferential motion through the passive telescopic rod 23, so that the solid ball 22 is reciprocated circumferentially rolled on the surface of the cable sheath moving along the linear motion, so that the solidification forming effect is improved, and the uniformity of the sheath forming is ensured.
[0059] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.
[0060] Based on Examples 1-2, the working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0061] First, the head end of the wound cable to be released passes through the extruder 2, the circulating water tank 16 and the circumferential tube 20 in sequence, and then is fixed on the winder. The molten sheath material is added to the insulation barrel 3 through the feeding pipe 33. Then the entire sheath extrusion equipment is started, and the cylinder 5 pushes the sealing push plate 35 downward at a constant speed to extrude the sheath material in the insulation barrel 3. The sheath material enters the extruder 2, and a sheath is formed on the surface of the cable through the extruder 2. Then the cable with the sheath enters the circulating water tank 16 for cooling and is wound by the winder. As the winder is wound, the cable moves faster, and the speed measuring wheel The rotation speed of 7 is also increasing. Every time the tachometer wheel 7 rotates one circle, it will periodically approach the reed switch 9 once. The reed switch 9 transmits the signal to the host code meter 10 to obtain the rotation speed of the tachometer wheel 7. The host code meter 10 transmits the rotation speed of the tachometer wheel 7 to the controller 11. The controller 11 obtains the moving speed of the cable. When the cable moving speed is Y≧X, the controller 11 controls the cylinder 5 to increase the output speed of the sealing push plate 35, increases the extrusion force on the material in the insulation barrel 3, thereby increasing the flow rate of the material entering the extruder 2, thereby ensuring the quality of the sheath formation and avoiding the occurrence of local uneven thickness.
[0062] While the sheath on the cable surface is cooling, under the action of the restoring force of the elastic rope ring 32, the compression concave block 31 pushes the extrusion plate 21, so that the solid ball 22 pushing the extrusion plate 21 is squeezed on the sheath surface of the cable, and the speed measuring wheel 7 rotates to drive the driving wheel 26 to rotate, and then through the transmission of the driving pin 27 and the driving bar 28, the driving frame 25 is pulled to perform reciprocating horizontal motion on the support rod 24, and the pushing pin 30 on the driving frame 25 moves back and forth in the driving groove 29 in the circumferential tube 20, thereby pushing the circumferential tube 20 to reciprocate circumferentially in the rotating frame 19, and then the extrusion plate 21 is driven to perform synchronous circumferential synchronous motion through the passive telescopic rod 23, so that the solid ball 22 is reciprocated circumferentially rolled on the surface of the cable sheath moving along the linear motion, so that the solidification forming effect is improved, and the uniformity of the sheath forming is ensured.
[0063] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
