[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of a braided network management 2 optical cable operation method, the following steps are included:

[0047] S11. Provide a hollow tube 1.

[0048] S12, compressing and sleeve-fitting the mesh tube 2 onto the hollow tube 1.

[0049] S13, pass the optical cable through the hollow tube 1.

[0050] S14, the optical cable passing through the hollow tube 1 and the network tube 2 wrapped outside the hollow tube 1 are tightly wound and connected to the automatic winding drum.

[0051] In this embodiment, the present invention sets a hollow tube 1, adopts a method of first sleeve the mesh tube 2 on the outside of the hollow tube 1, and then inserts the optical cable into the hollow tube 1. The mesh tube 2 longer than the hollow tube 1 can be sleeved on the hollow tube 1 by compression, and the method of introducing the hollow tube 1 is easy to realize automation, which can facilitate the automation process and realize the production of high-quality braided mesh tube 2 optical cable, thereby solving the technical problem that the existing braided mesh tube 2 products are difficult to realize automation.

[0052] In an embodiment of a method for braiding a network tube 2 optical cable, the step of compressing the network tube 2 and sleeved on the hollow tube 1 includes:

[0053] S121, placing the hollow tube 1 on a support frame, on which a plurality of clamping mechanisms 3 are axially arranged to clamp the hollow tube 1.

[0054] S122, the net tube 2 is inserted into one end of the hollow tube 1 and rolled through a plurality of rolling mechanisms 4. During the rolling process of the net tube 2, the adjacent clamping mechanisms 3 and rolling mechanisms 4 operate alternately.

[0055] In this embodiment, the rolling mechanism 4 is a device for outputting and rolling the mesh tube 2, and the clamping mechanism 3 is a device for clamping the hollow tube 1. The two adjacent devices work alternately to ensure that the hollow tube 1 cannot pass through the mesh tube 2.

[0056] It can be understood that when the clamping mechanism 3 clamps, an obstruction will be formed. At this time, the operation of part of the rolling mechanism 4 will cause the net tube 2 to be stacked at the obstruction, and the originally straight net tube 2 will be stacked to form a compressed state, so that the net tube 2 is covered on the hollow tube 1 in the form of a maximum expanded diameter, and then the clamping mechanism 3 releases the rolling mechanism near the obstruction to further transport the stacked net tube 2 forward. Through such a setting, more net tubes 2 can be stacked on the hollow tube 1.

[0057] In an embodiment of a method for operating a braided network tube 2 optical cable, the network tube 2 is inserted into one end of the hollow tube 1 and rolled by a rolling mechanism 4. In the process of rolling the network tube 2, the adjacent clamping mechanisms 3 and rolling mechanisms 4 are operated alternately:

[0058] A rolling mechanism 4 with a meter counting function is selected, or the meter counting function is integrated into the rolling mechanism 4.

[0059] In this embodiment, specifically, the meter counting function can be realized by an encoder, which drives the encoder to rotate accurately to ensure that the network tube 2 moves forward to a certain length each time, thereby facilitating the installation of the network tube 2 with specific length requirements on the hollow tube 1.

[0060] In combination with the previous embodiment, by providing a meter counting function on the rolling mechanism 4, it can cooperate with the clamping mechanism 3 to ensure that a section can be stacked before the obstruction, which is beneficial to the stable rolling of the network tube 2.

[0061] In an embodiment of a method for braiding a network tube 2 optical cable, the step of compressing the network tube 2 and sleeved on the hollow tube 1 includes:

[0062] S123, the mesh tube 2 is mounted on the hollow tube 1 through a plurality of rolling mechanisms 4.

[0063] S124, monitoring the status of the network management 2 being installed in the hollow tube 1.

[0064] S125. When the rolling mechanism 4 detects that the net tube 2 and the hollow tube 1 are tightly fitted, the rolling mechanism 4 stops rolling until the net tube 2 is in a compressed state and reaches a certain diameter, and then the rolling mechanism 4 restarts.

[0065] Different from the previous embodiments, in this embodiment, the function of compressing the network tube 2 can also be achieved by only relying on the rolling mechanism 4. Specifically, it can be understood first that the network tube 2 is rolled by multiple rolling mechanisms 4. When one of the rolling mechanisms 4 stops working, a stacked compression state will be formed here. Based on this, in conjunction with monitoring means such as a visual system, when it is detected that the stacked compression state reaches a certain diameter, the rolling mechanism 4 is started to achieve the effect of release. With the cooperation of multiple rolling mechanisms, the network tube 2 can be stacked and sleeved on the hollow tube 1 in a multi-stage and multi-segment peristaltic manner.

[0066] It should be emphasized that this embodiment can work together with the previous embodiment to achieve better control of the compression effect.

[0067] In an embodiment of a method for operating a braided network tube 2 optical cable, in the step of providing a hollow tube 1:

[0068] S111. Provide a hollow tube 1.

[0069] S112. Provide a connection block having a through hole.

[0070] S113, insert the hollow tube 1 into the connecting block.

[0071] In this embodiment, by setting a connecting block, it is possible to conveniently fix the hollow tube 1. It can be understood that the diameters of the mesh tube 2 and the hollow tube 1 are relatively small. By setting a connecting block, it is possible to conveniently support the hollow tube 1 and stabilize the position of the hollow tube 1. In combination with the clamping mechanism 3, the displacement of the hollow tube 1 can be avoided.

[0072] In an embodiment of a method for braiding a network tube 2 optical cable, the steps of tightly winding the optical cable through the hollow tube 1 and the network tube 2 wrapped outside the hollow tube 1 and connecting them to the winding drum include:

[0073] S141. Provide a sizing die.

[0074] S142, the optical cable that has passed through the hollow tube 1 and the network tube 2 wrapped outside the hollow tube 1 are passed through a sizing die for winding.

[0075] S143, after the sizing die is taken up, it is connected to the automatic winding drum.

[0076] In this embodiment, the sizing die is a wire-taking fixture, which can be inserted into the sizing die to carry out tight wire taking-up. Combined with the steps in the previous embodiment, the product after being inserted into the sizing die can further improve the level of automation, improve product quality, and reduce manual participation.

[0077] In an embodiment of a method for braiding a network tube 2 optical cable, between the steps of sleeve-mounting the network tube 2 in the hollow tube 1 and passing the optical cable through the hollow tube 1, the following steps are also included:

[0078] A11. Network management unit 2 is installed on hollow pipe 1 and network management unit 2 is cut off after the operation is completed.

[0079] B12. Transfer the hollow tube 1 with the mesh tube 2.

[0080] In this embodiment, it can be understood that the two operations of the network management unit 2 being installed in the hollow tube 1 and the optical cable being inserted into the hollow tube 1 are performed separately on two frames, so that the operations can be separated to improve the operation efficiency.

[0081] In an embodiment of a method for braiding a network tube 2 optical cable, the network tube 2 is set in the step of cutting off the network tube 2 after the operation of the hollow tube 1 is completed:

[0082] A111, use the temperature control system to control the blade temperature to be stable to cut off the network management 2.

[0083] In this embodiment, by providing a temperature control system during the operation of cutting the network manager 2, it is possible to ensure that the wires at the head of the network manager 2 will not become scattered, further improving product quality and facilitating automated continuous operation.

[0084] In an embodiment of a braided network management 2 optical cable operation method, the following steps are also included:

[0085] S15. Provide a guiding jig, one end of which is tapered and the other end of which is inserted into the hollow tube 1.

[0086] In this embodiment, by providing a guiding jig, the network management device 2 can be automatically installed under the guidance of the conical head of the guiding jig, so that it is convenient to directly install it on the hollow tube 1, further improving automation and reducing manual participation.

[0087] In an embodiment of a braided network management 2 optical cable operation method, the following steps are also included:

[0088] S16, after the automatic winding drum detects that the number of winding turns reaches the set number of turns, the winding is stopped and cut off.

[0089] In combination with the previous embodiment, it can be understood that the length of the hollow tube 1 is certain, and the length of the mesh tube 2 sleeved on the hollow tube 1 is also certain, so it can stop when the set number of turns is reached to avoid inconsistency.

[0090] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiments, in one embodiment, the method for braiding the optical cable of the network tube 2 comprises the following steps:

[0091] S100, providing a hollow tube 1.

[0092] S200: Provide a connection block having a through hole.

[0093] S300, insert the hollow tube 1 into the connecting block.

[0094] S400, providing a guiding jig, wherein one end of the guiding jig is tapered and the other end is inserted into the hollow tube 1.

[0095] S500, placing the hollow tube 1 on a support frame, on which a plurality of clamping mechanisms 3 are axially arranged to clamp the hollow tube 1.

[0096] S600 , the net tube 2 is inserted into one end of the hollow tube 1 and rolled through a plurality of rolling mechanisms 4 . During the rolling of the net tube 2 , the adjacent clamping mechanisms 3 and rolling mechanisms 4 operate alternately.

[0097] S700 , monitoring the status of the network management 2 installed in the hollow pipe 1 .

[0098] S800, when the rolling mechanism 4 detects that the net tube 2 and the hollow tube 1 are tightly fitted, the rolling mechanism 4 stops rolling until the net tube 2 is in a compressed state and reaches a certain diameter, and then the rolling mechanism 4 restarts.

[0099] S900 and network management unit 2 are installed on hollow pipe 1. After the operation is completed, the temperature control system is used to control the temperature of the blade surface to be stable to cut off network management unit 2.

[0100] S1000, the hollow tube 1 with the network tube 2 is transferred together.

[0101] S1100 , pass the optical cable through the hollow tube 1 .

[0102] S1200, provide sizing die.

[0103] S1300, the optical cable that has passed through the hollow tube 1 and the network tube 2 wrapped outside the hollow tube 1 are passed through a sizing die for winding.

[0104] S1400, after the sizing die is wound up, it is connected to the automatic winding drum. After the automatic winding drum detects that the number of winding turns reaches the set number of turns, the winding is stopped and cut off.

[0105] The method of this embodiment can fully realize automated operation in the operation stage after the preparation is completed. The use of hollow tubes cleverly replaces the manual steps. Similarly, it also eliminates manual participation, reduces manual work, and is conducive to improving product quality and efficiency.

[0106] The present invention also relates to a braided network tube optical cable forming device, which is used to implement the braided network tube optical cable operation method of the above embodiment. It has a high degree of automation and can reduce manual participation in the operation, thereby facilitating the improvement of product operation efficiency and product quality.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be pointed out that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
