Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable defect monitoring, and in particular to a composite cable defect monitoring device and a monitoring method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cables are tools used to connect devices and transmit electricity. When some cables are processed and shipped out of the factory, they need to go through an extrusion process. The extrusion process is crucial to the quality of the cables. Currently, after the extrusion process is completed, the cable surface often still has uneven and bamboo-shaped surface defects, which are difficult to detect by humans. As a result, defective products are shipped out of the factory, affecting subsequent use and may cause certain accidents.

[0003] However, the existing cable defect monitoring equipment only detects the cable when it is produced and shipped out of the factory, and it is easily damaged by the outside during the process of winding and transportation. Therefore, it needs to be tested again before it is used to monitor and confirm its status. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a composite cable defect monitoring device and a monitoring method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The clamping detection mechanism includes a clamping ring, which is fixedly mounted on the moving block, and an infrared optical detector is fixedly mounted on the clamping ring. A connecting groove is formed at the lower end of the clamping ring, a joint groove is formed on the groove wall of the connecting groove, and a mounting groove is formed at the top end of the clamping ring.

[0008] The moving mechanism includes a tapered roller, which is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the installation groove via a rotating shaft. The tapered roller is provided with a fixing groove, and a fixing hole is formed through the groove wall of one of the fixing grooves.

The output end of the driving motor is fixedly installed with a rubber driving wheel via a coupling. An annular tooth pattern is fixedly installed on one of the tapered rollers, and an annular tooth pattern groove is formed on the other tapered roller, and the annular tooth pattern meshes with the annular tooth pattern groove.

[0009] The support mechanism includes a support hole, which is opened through the mounting seat, and a support block is slidably connected in the support hole. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the support block, and joints are fixedly installed on the two opposite outer walls of the connecting block. An audible and visual alarm is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting block.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected between the cavity walls of the movable cavity, a limiting hole is penetrated through the movable block, and the movable block is slidably connected to the limiting rod through the limiting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the rubber driving wheel is slightly larger than the other fixing groove.

[0013] Preferably, the width of the support block is greater than the notch of the connecting groove.

[0014] Preferably, the upper end of the moving block passes through the moving hole and extends to the outside of the mounting seat, and the end of the moving block located outside the mounting seat is fixedly connected to the clamping ring.

[0015] Preferably, the first spring is sleeved on the rod wall of the limiting rod.

[0016] The method for using the composite cable defect monitoring device comprises the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: First, place the composite cable between the clamping rings through the opening between the clamping rings, and then press the support block downward through the composite cable, so that the support block drops into the support hole and releases the support for the clamping rings;

[0018] Step 2: At this time, the first spring will push the moving block to move, and the moving block will drive the clamping ring to move synchronously. The clamping ring will merge to form a complete ring and be placed on the composite cable;

[0019] Step 3: When the clamping rings merge, they drive the two tapered rollers to counteract each other, and the tapered rollers drive the annular teeth to engage with the annular tooth grooves. At the same time, the rubber drive wheel can be inserted into the other fixed groove through the contraction of the rubber.

[0020] Step 4: When the support block descends into the support hole, the connecting block will be located outside the mounting seat, and when the clamping ring is closed, it will drive the connecting groove to be sleeved on the connecting block and insert the connector into the connector groove;

[0021] Step 5: After that, you can let go of the device, and the device will drop under the weight of the mounting base, and the composite cable will be placed in the middle depression of the two conical rollers. Then you can start the drive motor to drive the rubber drive wheel to rotate. The rubber drive wheel drives the conical roller by contacting with the fixed groove, and the conical roller drives the other conical roller by meshing the annular teeth with the annular teeth groove. The two conical rollers roll synchronously on the composite cable, driving the entire device to move on the composite cable.

[0022] Step 6: The clamping ring monitors the composite cable through the infrared optical detector during the movement. When the infrared optical detector detects that the composite cable is damaged, it transmits the signal to the drive motor through the internal cable to stop its operation, and the connection between the connector and the connector slot, and transmits the signal to the sound and light alarm for sound and light alarm, so that the monitoring personnel can know the location and take action.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: when in use, by putting the composite cable before use into the clamping ring and pressing down the support block, the clamping ring will be put on the composite cable after the support is released, and then the clamping ring is driven to move on the composite cable. When the infrared optical detector detects that the composite cable is damaged, it drives the motor and stops its operation to stop the equipment at the damaged part. At the same time, it will transmit the signal to the sound and light alarm to sound and light alarm, so that the monitoring personnel can know the location and take action, thereby monitoring and confirming the status of the composite cable after winding and transportation, and facilitating the subsequent use of the composite cable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] Reference Figure 1-7 , including a pushing mechanism, a clamping detection mechanism is fixedly installed on the upper end of the pushing mechanism, a moving mechanism is provided on the upper end of the clamping detection mechanism, and a supporting mechanism is provided inside the pushing mechanism;

[0033] The pushing mechanism includes a mounting base 11, a movable cavity 12 is defined within the mounting base 11, a movable hole 13 is defined through the upper wall of the movable cavity 12, a movable block 14 is slidably connected to the movable cavity 13 and the movable hole 12, and a first spring 15 is provided in the movable cavity 12, with both ends of the first spring 15 respectively abutting against the cavity wall of the movable cavity 12 and the movable block 14;

[0034] The clamping detection mechanism includes a clamping ring 21, which is fixedly mounted on the moving block 14. An infrared optical detector 22 is fixedly mounted on the clamping ring 21. A connecting groove 23 is formed at the lower end of the clamping ring 21, a joint groove 24 is formed on the groove wall of the connecting groove 23, and a mounting groove 25 is formed at the top end of the clamping ring 21.

[0035] The moving mechanism includes a tapered roller 31, which is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 25 via a rotating shaft. A fixing groove 32 is provided on the tapered roller 31, and a fixing hole 33 is provided on the groove wall of one of the fixing grooves 32. One end of the fixing hole 33 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the other end of the fixing hole 33 is connected to the fixing groove 32. A fixing rod 34 is provided in the fixing hole 33, and one end of the fixing rod 34 is fixedly connected to the clamping ring 21. The other end of the fixing rod 34 extends into the fixing groove 32 and is fixedly installed with a driving motor 35. The output end of the driving motor 35 is fixedly installed with a rubber driving wheel 36 through a coupling. An annular tooth pattern 38 is fixedly installed on one of the tapered rollers 31, and an annular tooth pattern groove 37 is provided on the other tapered roller 31, and the annular tooth pattern 38 is meshed with the annular tooth pattern groove 37;

[0036] The supporting mechanism includes a supporting hole 41, which is opened through the mounting base 11. A supporting block 42 is slidably connected in the supporting hole 41. A connecting block 43 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the supporting block 42. Joints 44 are fixedly installed on the two opposite outer walls of the connecting block 43. An audible and visual alarm 45 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting block 43.

[0037] Among them, a limiting rod 16 is fixedly connected between the cavity walls of the moving cavity 12, and a limiting hole 17 is provided through the moving block 14. The moving block 14 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 16 through the limiting hole 17. The limiting rod 16 limits the moving block 14 through the limiting hole 17, so that the moving block 14 can only move parallely, and the moving block 14 can only drive the clamping ring 21 to move parallely, thereby facilitating the mutual alignment of the components on the clamping ring 21.

[0038] The second spring 410 is used to support the slider 47 and the support block 42, so that the support block 42 can be lifted up and down only by the slider 47.

[0039] Among them, the rubber driving wheel 36 is slightly larger than the other fixed groove 32. The rubber driving wheel 36 is made of rubber and can shrink, so that the rubber driving wheel 36 can be squeezed into the other fixed groove 32 and abut against its inner wall, so that the driving motor 35 drives the rubber driving wheel 36 to rotate. The rubber driving wheel 36 can drive the tapered roller 31 to rotate by abutting against the groove wall of the other fixed groove 32.

[0040] The width of the support block 42 is greater than the notch of the connecting groove 23 , so that the support block 42 will not sink into the connecting groove 23 when supporting the clamping ring 21 .

[0041] Among them, the upper end of the moving block 14 passes through the moving hole 13 and extends to the outside of the mounting seat 11. The end of the moving block 14 located outside the mounting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the clamping ring 21. The moving hole 13 limits the clamping ring 21 through the moving block 14, so that the moving block 14 and the clamping ring 21 can only move within the range of the moving hole 13.

[0042] The first spring 15 is sleeved on the rod wall of the limiting rod 16, and the limiting rod 16 supports the first spring 15 so that the first spring 15 can be extended or contracted along the limiting rod 16, thereby preventing the first spring 15 from being deflected and damaged.

[0043] The method for using the composite cable defect monitoring device comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: First, place the composite cable between the clamping rings 21 through the opening between the clamping rings 21, and then press the support block 42 downward through the composite cable, so that the support block 42 drops into the support hole 41 and releases the support for the clamping rings 21;

[0045] Step 2: At this time, the first spring 15 pushes the moving block 14 to move, and the moving block 14 drives the clamping ring 21 to move synchronously. The clamping ring 21 will merge to form a complete ring and be placed on the composite cable;

[0046] Step 3: When the clamping ring 21 merges, it drives the two tapered rollers 31 to abut against each other, and the tapered rollers 31 drive the annular tooth pattern 38 to engage with the annular tooth pattern groove 37. At the same time, the rubber driving wheel 36 can be inserted into the other fixed groove 32 by the shrinkage of the rubber.

[0047] Step 4: When the support block 42 descends into the support hole 41 , the connecting block 43 is located outside the mounting base 11 . When the clamping ring 21 is closed, the connecting groove 23 is moved to fit over the connecting block 43 , and the connector 44 is inserted into the connector groove 24 .

[0048] Step 5: After that, you can let go of the device, and the device will drop under the weight of the mounting base 11, and the composite cable will be placed in the middle depression of the two conical rollers 31. Then, you can start the drive motor 35 to drive the rubber drive wheel 36 to rotate. The rubber drive wheel 36 drives the conical roller 31 by abutting against the fixing groove 32. The conical roller 31 drives the other conical roller 31 by engaging the annular tooth pattern 38 with the annular tooth pattern groove 37. Therefore, the two conical rollers 31 roll synchronously on the composite cable, driving the entire device to move on the composite cable.

[0049] Step 6: The clamping ring 21 monitors the composite cable through the infrared optical detector 22 during the movement. When the infrared optical detector 22 detects that the composite cable is damaged, it transmits the signal to the drive motor 35 through the internal cable and stops its operation, as well as the connection between the connector 44 and the connector slot 24, and transmits the signal to the sound and light alarm 45 for sound and light alarm, so as to facilitate the monitoring personnel to know the location and take action.
