Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cable production quality inspection, and in particular to a cable stranding device for cable production. Background Art

[0002] When producing cable strands, multiple single-wire conductors must first be twisted together in a certain direction and according to a certain rule to form an integral stranded core. This process not only ensures the flexibility of the cable and its stability when bent, but also improves the overall strength of the cable, making it easier to install and use. Then, the insulating material is wrapped around the conductor by extrusion to form the cable insulation layer. The thickness of the insulating material must be determined based on the voltage tolerance requirements to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment and lines.

[0003] Single-wire conductors may contain dust, oil stains and other pollutants. When multiple single wires are twisted into one conductor and then covered with insulating materials, these pollutants may affect the connection of the cable insulation layer.

[0004] In addition, the thickness of the cable insulation layer needs to be determined according to the voltage withstand requirements during processing. The cable stranding production process also includes cabling, shielding, armoring and sheathing. Therefore, it is necessary to test the voltage withstand of the cable insulation layer during the cable stranding production process to ensure that it meets the production requirements.

[0005] At the same time, the cable insulation layer needs to ensure that there is no damage, cracking or other reasons that lead to poor cable insulation or even leakage. Therefore, it is also necessary to detect whether the cable insulation layer is intact.

[0034] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present invention should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs.

"Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0036] A first aspect of the present invention, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when producing cable strands, it is first necessary to twist multiple single-wire conductors together in a certain direction and according to a rule to form an integral twisted wire core, and then wrap the insulating material around the conductor by extrusion to form a cable insulation layer. Therefore, the present invention designs a turntable 103 for driving the single-wire conductor 101 to rotate and a stranding drum 104 arranged concentrically with the turntable 103. The single-wire conductor 101 passes through the through hole at the outer edge of the turntable 103, and the front end of the single-wire conductor 101 is twisted into a cable 102 in the stranding drum 104. The other end of the single-wire conductor 101 is connected to the wire arrangement roller at the rear side of the turntable 103. A cleaning chamber 105 and a covering chamber 106 are also provided at the rear side of the stranding drum 104, which are used to clean the cable 102 and to cover the cable 102 with an insulating layer, respectively.

[0037] The cable 102 is formed by twisting a central wire core and a plurality of single-wire conductors 101 , so a plurality of through holes are provided on the outer edge of the turntable 103 , and a through hole for entering and exiting the wire core is also provided at the center of the turntable 103 .

[0038] In addition, a feed pipe 111 is fixedly connected to the coating chamber 106 for conveying the insulating layer raw material in a hot melt state, and a hot melt bin 113 is also provided in the coating chamber 106 , and the lower end of the feed pipe 111 is connected to the hot melt bin 113 .

[0039] Since there may be dust, oil stains and other pollutants on the single-wire conductor, these pollutants may affect the connection of the cable insulation layer when multiple single wires are twisted into one wire and then covered with insulation material.

[0040] So, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a water inlet pipe 110 is fixedly connected to the cleaning chamber 105, and a fixed cylinder 112 is provided in the cleaning chamber 105, wherein an oil-wiping roller brush 115, a water spray head 116 and a water suction port 117 are provided in the fixed cylinder 112, and the end of the water inlet pipe 110 is connected to the oil-wiping roller brush 115, the water spray head 116 and the water-absorbing cotton 117. In addition, a driving motor for driving the oil-wiping roller brush 115 to rotate and a booster pump connected to the water spray head 116 are also provided in the cleaning chamber 105.

[0041] Preferably, a drainage trough 118 is further provided in the cleaning chamber 105 , and the drainage and suction port 117 and the drainage trough 118 are located at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 112 , and a water pump connected to the suction port 117 is also provided in the drainage trough 118 .

[0042] A cleaning chamber 105 is set at the rear side of the stranding drum 104 and the front side of the covering chamber 106, and an oiling roller brush 115, a water spray head 116 and a water suction port 117 are set in the cleaning chamber 105. The oiling roller brush 115 is used to scrub away oil stains and dust on the surface of the cable 102, and then the water is rinsed through the water spray head 116 and finally the water is removed through the water suction port 117, thereby ensuring that the cable 102 is clean before being coated with the insulating layer, so that the insulating layer can better adhere to the outside of the cable 102.

[0043] A second aspect of the present invention, as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the thickness of the cable insulation layer needs to be determined according to the voltage tolerance requirements during processing. The cable stranding production process also includes cabling, shielding, armoring and sheathing. Therefore, it is necessary to test the voltage tolerance of the cable insulation layer during the cable stranding production process to ensure that it meets the production requirements. At the same time, the cable insulation layer needs to ensure that there is no damage, cracking or other reasons that lead to poor cable insulation or even leakage.

[0044] Therefore, the present invention sets a low-voltage ring 114 in the stranded wire drum 104, and sets a tail tube 109 behind the skin-covering chamber 106. The cable 102 passes through the tail tube 109, and a high-voltage ring 124 is set in the tail tube 109. The low-voltage ring 114 is sleeved outside the cable 102 not covered with an insulating layer, and the high-voltage ring 124 is sleeved outside the cable 102 covered with an insulating layer, and an ammeter is also connected between the low-voltage ring 114 and the high-voltage ring 124.

[0045] If the thickness of the insulation layer of the cable 102 does not reach its withstand voltage level, or the insulation layer of the cable 102 is damaged or cracked, the high-voltage ring 124 can break through the air and the insulation layer, making the cable 102 a conductor, so that the low-voltage ring 114 and the high-voltage ring 124 are connected, and then it can be detected by the ammeter. The detection mechanism is simple and convenient, and the detection is efficient and accurate.

[0046] In addition, a connection seat 121 is provided at the bottom of the tail pipe 109, and a water scraper ring 122 is also provided in the tail pipe 109 to scrape off the moisture on the surface of the cable 102. A high-voltage ring 124 is located at the rear side of the water scraper ring 122, and a hot air nozzle 123 is provided between the high-voltage ring 124 and the water scraper ring 122, and the hot air nozzle 123 is connected to the hot air blower in the connection seat 121.

[0047] A wiper ring 122 is provided in the tail pipe 109 to scrape off moisture on the surface of the cable 102, and a hot air nozzle 123 is provided between the high-voltage ring 124 and the wiper ring 122 to dry the surface of the cable 102, which not only facilitates subsequent processing operations but also ensures that there is no moisture interference between the high-voltage ring 124 and the cable 102.

[0048] A third aspect of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, since the surface insulation layer of the cable 102 just coming out of the skin-coating chamber 106 is still in a high temperature state and is easily deformed, it is necessary to cool it down urgently to ensure that the insulation layer of the cable 102 is quickly shaped. Therefore, a water cooling pipe 107 is also provided between the skin-coating chamber 106 and the tail pipe 109, and the cable 102 passes through the water cooling pipe 107, and the water cooling pipe 107 is filled with cold water to cool down and shape the outer insulation layer of the cable 102.

[0049] In addition, a water storage tank 108 is provided at the bottom of the water cooling pipe 107, and a bracket 120 is fixedly connected in the water storage tank 108. The water cooling pipe 107 is fixedly connected to the bracket 120, and a water pump 119 is provided in the water storage tank 108, wherein the water pump 119 is connected to the water cooling pipe 107 through a plurality of water supply pipes.

[0050] The water cooling pipe 107 can quickly cool down the outer insulation layer of the cable 102 and set it. Cold water is continuously injected into the water cooling pipe 107 to ensure the cooling effect. The upper end of the water cooling pipe 107 is open to facilitate the routing of the cable 102, and the cold water of the water cooling pipe 107 can also flow down through the opening. A water storage tank 108 is set at the bottom of the water cooling pipe 107, so that the cold water can be circulated internally to save water resources.

[0051] In summary, the present invention provides a low-voltage ring 114 in a strand barrel 104 for a cable strand, and a high-voltage ring 124 at a subsequent position, wherein the low-voltage ring 114 is sleeved outside a cable 102 that is not coated with an insulating layer, and the high-voltage ring 124 is sleeved outside a cable 102 that is coated with an insulating layer, and an ammeter is also connected between the low-voltage ring 114 and the high-voltage ring 124. If the thickness of the insulating layer of the cable 102 does not reach its withstand voltage level, or the insulating layer of the cable 102 is damaged or cracked, etc. The high-voltage ring 124 can break through the air and the insulating layer, allowing the cable 102 to become a conductor, so that the low-voltage ring 114 and the high-voltage ring 124 are conductive, and then can be detected by an ammeter. The detection mechanism is simple and convenient, and the detection is efficient and accurate.

[0052] A cleaning chamber 105 is set at the rear side of the stranding drum 104 and the front side of the covering chamber 106. An oiling roller brush 115, a water spray head 116 and a water suction port 117 are set in the cleaning chamber 105. The oiling roller brush 115 is used to scrub away the oil stains and dust on the surface of the cable 102, and then the water spray head 116 is used to rinse and finally the water is removed through the water suction port 117, so as to ensure that the cable 102 is clean before the insulation layer is coated, so that the insulation layer can be better attached to the outside of the cable 102. A water cooling pipe 107 is also set between the covering chamber 106 and the tail pipe 109, which can quickly cool down and shape the outer insulation layer of the cable 102. Cold water is continuously injected into the water cooling pipe 107 to ensure the cooling effect. The upper end opening of the water cooling pipe 107 facilitates the routing of the cable 102, and the cold water of the water cooling pipe 107 can also flow down through the opening, and a water storage tank 108 is set at the bottom of the water cooling pipe 107, so that the cold water can be circulated internally to save water resources. A wiper ring 122 is provided in the tail pipe 109 to scrape off moisture on the surface of the cable 102, and a hot air nozzle 123 is provided between the high-voltage ring 124 and the wiper ring 122 to dry the surface of the cable 102, which not only facilitates subsequent processing operations but also ensures that there is no moisture interference between the high-voltage ring 124 and the cable 102.
