Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cable metering, and in particular to a cable metering device. Background Art

[0002] In the wiring and unloading process of subway vehicle production, when the cables are wound on winding machines and other equipment, they must be counted by a meter. The metering device is a device used to ensure that the sensor of the metering device can keep in contact with the moving cables to complete the metering work. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the winding work, the metering mechanism should have the functions of easy operation, high efficiency, good compatibility with the diameter and quantity of the cables to be counted, and small metering error.

[0003] Prior art metering devices, such as Fig.15 As shown, the cable is inserted into a limited space 3 formed by a meter-counting roller 1 and an auxiliary wheel 2, and the cable is clamped by the meter-counting roller 1 pressing the limited space 3 downward. When the cable is pulled by a winding machine or other equipment, the meter-counting roller 1 is driven to rotate together, and then the meter-counting sensor 4 coaxially connected to the meter-counting roller 1 is driven to rotate, thereby realizing the meter-counting function.

[0004] The meter counting device in the prior art has the following disadvantages: each cable must pass through the limiting space to perform a threading operation, which lacks convenience, and constantly repeating this operation will impose a labor burden on the operator and has low efficiency; the size of the limiting space is limited by the closed structure, and can only meet the needs of counting one or several cables with smaller wire diameters, and cannot meet the work requirements of counting a large number of cables at the same time; because the clamping of the cable and the meter wheel depends entirely on the single-point squeezing of the meter wheel, during the meter counting process, the contact point between the cable and the meter wheel is easily affected by slipping and other reasons, affecting the meter counting accuracy, resulting in errors and causing waste of materials.

[0005] Based on this, the meter counting device in the prior art needs to be further improved. Summary of the invention

[0041] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0042] As mentioned in the above background technology, in the wiring and unloading work links of subway vehicle production, when the cables are wound on winding machines and other equipment, they must be counted by a meter. The metering device of the prior art has problems such as low threading efficiency, inability to meet the simultaneous counting of a large number of cables, and slippage of the metering wheel and the cable. Therefore, the inventor of the present application provides a cable metering device in one or more embodiments, which avoids the problems of threading and inability to meet the simultaneous counting of a large number of cables in the prior art by supporting the cables moving thereon on the supporting wheel group. The rolling contact and the herringbone extrusion of the cables and the cables by the first lateral auxiliary wheel, the second lateral auxiliary wheel and the metering wheel of the metering mechanism are achieved, so that the metering mechanism can count the meters while preventing the metering wheel from slipping on the cables. It is believed that it can solve one or more problems in the prior art.

[0043] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a cable metering device, such as Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, it includes: a bracket 5, the bracket 5 includes a first side 51 and a second side 52 opposite thereto; a supporting wheel group, the supporting wheel group for supporting the cable 6 includes a first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 and a second transverse auxiliary wheel 12, the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 and the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 are parallel and distributed along the longitudinal direction Y of the bracket 5, and the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 and the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 are rotatably connected to the first side 51 and the second side 52 at both ends; a metering mechanism, the metering mechanism is arranged on the bracket 5 between the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 and the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 The meter-counting mechanism includes two movable auxiliary wheels 21, a meter-counting wheel 22 and a meter-counting sensor 23. The two movable auxiliary wheels 21 are distributed on the first side 51 along the longitudinal direction Y and can be synchronously moved along the transverse direction X of the bracket 5 on the first side 51. The meter-counting wheel 22 is movably arranged on the second side 52 along the transverse direction X. The meter-counting sensor 23 is arranged on the meter-counting wheel 22. The meter-counting wheel 22 and the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 move toward each other along the transverse direction X to generate rolling contact with the cable 6 moving on the supporting wheel group and form a herringbone extrusion to measure the cable 6.

[0044] Specifically, the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11, the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12, the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 together enclose an open space, and the cable 6 is placed on the support wheel group and passes through the open space under the traction of the winding machine or the operator. Since the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 can move along the transverse direction X on the bracket 5, when placing the cable 6, the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 move in opposite directions, so that different numbers of cable bundles can be placed on the support wheel group, avoiding the problem of threading in the prior art, and is suitable for simultaneously counting a large number of cables 6 (when it is necessary to simultaneously count a large number of cables 6, all cables 6 are bundled together along their length direction to form a cable bundle, because the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 and the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 have a certain length, and the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 move in the transverse direction X, so that the distance between the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 is adjustable, which can meet the cable bundle passing between the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22). After the front end of the cable 6 or the cable bundle is placed on the supporting wheel group, the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 move toward each other so that the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 abut against one side of the cable 6 or the cable bundle, and the meter wheel 22 abuts against the other side of the cable 6 or the cable bundle, and then the front end of the cable 6 or the cable bundle is pulled by the winding machine. During the forward movement of the cable 6 or the cable bundle on the supporting wheel group, the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 make rolling contact with the side of the cable 6 or the cable bundle, and the meter sensor 23 measures the cable 6 or the cable bundle. During the measuring process, the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 form a herringbone shape to squeeze the cable 6 or the cable bundle, thereby avoiding the problem of the cable or the cable bundle slipping on the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the metering.

[0045] Further, the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 and the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 are both distributed along the transverse direction X, and both rotate around the axis of the transverse direction X. The two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 are both distributed along the vertical direction Z, and both rotate around the axis of the vertical direction Z. The two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 can be slidably connected to the bracket 5 through a slide 26, and the slide 26 is arranged along the transverse direction X; the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 and the meter wheel 22 can be driven by a cylinder 25 to move on the slide 26, and the cylinder 25 is installed on the outer end of the slide 26 (the end away from the cable), and a baffle 28 is connected to the driving end of the cylinder 25. The movable auxiliary wheel 21 and the meter wheel 22 are both installed on the baffle 28, and the fixed end of the cylinder 25 is connected to the vertical plate 27 on the slide 26 through a spring 29. When the meter mechanism is in the ready state, each cylinder 25 is in a retracted state, and does not interfere with the process of the winding machine or the operator pulling the cable 6 or the cable bundle. When entering the working state, the cylinder 25 extends, and the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 contact the meter wheel 22 with the cable 6 or the cable bundle, and form a multi-point clamping in the shape of a triangle; after starting to count meters, the meter wheel 22 rotates under the movement of the cable 6 or the cable bundle, thereby driving the meter sensor 23 to count meters and realize the meter counting function. The spring 29 can automatically adjust the fluctuation of the cable 6 when it moves, ensure the clamping stability, and then ensure the working accuracy of the meter sensor 23. When the meter counting work is completed, each cylinder 25 shrinks, and the meter counting mechanism returns to the ready state.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cable counting device, which supports the cable 6 moving thereon on a supporting wheel group, thereby avoiding the problems of the prior art in threading and the inability to simultaneously count a large number of cables 6. The first lateral auxiliary wheel 11, the second lateral auxiliary wheel 12 and the counting wheel 22 of the counting mechanism produce rolling contact and a herringbone squeeze on the cable 6, thereby achieving the problem of the counting wheel 22 and the cable 6 slipping while the counting mechanism measures the meter.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the cable metering device further includes an inlet guide wheel group 31 and an outlet guide wheel group 32. The inlet guide wheel group 31 is arranged on the bracket 5 on the side of the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 away from the metering mechanism, and the outlet guide wheel group 32 is arranged on the bracket 5 on the side of the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 away from the metering mechanism. The inlet guide wheel group 31 and the outlet guide wheel group 32 each include two vertical guide wheels 33, and the two vertical guide wheels 33 are rotatably arranged on the first side 51 and the second side 52, respectively. When preparing for metering, the inlet guide wheel group 31 facilitates the front end of the cable 6 or the cable bundle to be introduced onto the supporting wheel group, and the outlet guide wheel group 32 facilitates the front end of the cable 6 or the cable bundle to be pulled out of the supporting wheel group, so as to facilitate the staff or the winding machine to pull the front end of the cable 6 or the cable bundle. Specifically, the vertical guide wheel 33 rotates around the axial direction of the vertical direction Z.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the cable metering device further includes a first limiting wheel set 41 and a second limiting wheel set 42. The first limiting wheel set 41 is arranged on the bracket 5 between the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11 and the import guide wheel set 31, and the second limiting wheel set 42 is arranged on the bracket 5 between the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 and the export guide wheel set 32. The first limiting wheel set 41 and the second limiting wheel set 42 both include two vertical auxiliary wheels 43, and the two vertical auxiliary wheels 43 are rotatably arranged on the first side 51 and the second side 52, respectively. The first limiting wheel set 41 and the second limiting wheel set 42 avoid the problem that the metering mechanism cannot normally count the meter due to the deviation in the transverse direction X when the cable 6 or the cable bundle is placed on the supporting wheel set, that is, the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11, the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12, the two mobile auxiliary wheels 21, the metering wheel 22, the first limiting wheel set 41 and the second limiting wheel set 42 jointly enclose a space with an upper opening. At the same time, the import guide wheel set 31 and the export guide wheel set 32 ​​also play a role of transverse limiting. Specifically, the vertical auxiliary wheel 43 also rotates around the axial direction in the vertical direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the cable metering device also includes a first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and a second flip auxiliary wheel 62. The first flip auxiliary wheel 61 is arranged on the bracket 5 between the import guide wheel group 31 and the first limiting wheel group 41, and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 is arranged on the bracket 5 between the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 and the second limiting wheel group 42. One end of the rotating shaft of the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 can be flipped connected to the first side 51 so that the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 are in a parallel or vertical state with the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11, and abut against the upper part of the cable 6 in a parallel state to produce rolling contact with the cable 6 to prevent the cable 6 from jumping during the movement on the supporting wheel group. When preparing for meter counting, the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 are flipped, that is, the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 are in a vertical state, and both leave the open space of the upper opening, so as to pull the front end of the cable 6 or the cable bundle onto the supporting wheel group; when the meter counting preparation work is completed, the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 are flipped and placed in the open space of the upper opening, and are in a horizontal state and abut against the upper part of the cable 6 or the cable bundle, which exerts a downward squeezing effect on the cable 6 or the cable bundle, thereby avoiding the problem of the cable 6 or the cable bundle jumping up and down during the movement on the supporting wheel group. At the same time, when the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 are in a horizontal state, they can rotate around the axial direction of the transverse direction X, thereby not affecting the movement of the cable 6 or the cable bundle in the longitudinal direction Y.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the cable metering device further includes a cutting mechanism 7, which is disposed on the bracket 5 between the outlet guide wheel group 32 and the second limit wheel group 42 to cut the cable 6. When the metering work is completed, the control terminal of the metering device can send an instruction to the cutting mechanism 7, and the cutting mechanism 7 automatically performs the cutting action, and can cut off the cable 6 or cable bundle that has completed the metering, thereby improving the automation of the equipment and improving the production efficiency.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, the cutting mechanism 7 includes two cutters 71, and the two cutters 71 are movably arranged on the first side 51 and the second side 52 along the transverse direction X. Specifically, the cutting mechanism 7 also includes a cutting rail 73 and two cutting cylinders 74, the cutting rail 73 is arranged on the bracket 5 along the transverse direction X, the two cutters 71 are movably arranged on both ends of the cutting rail 73 along the transverse direction X, the two cutting cylinders 74 are respectively arranged on both ends of the cutting rail 73, and the driving ends of the two cutting cylinders 74 are respectively connected to the two cutters 71, and drive the two cutters 71 to move toward or away from each other. When the meter is counting, the two cut-off cylinders 74 are retracted to allow a certain safety distance between the two cutters 71, so that the cable 6 or the cable bundle can pass in front of the two cutters 71 without contacting the cutters 71, thereby ensuring the safety of the cable 6 or the cable bundle; when the meter counting is completed, the staff or the winding machine stops pulling the cable 6, and the two cut-off cylinders 74 extend to drive the two cutters 71 to move toward each other, thereby cutting the cable 6 or the cable bundle. To further ensure the safety of the cable 6 and personnel, a rubber sleeve can be placed on the cutter 71 during the meter counting process, and the rubber sleeve can be removed before the cutting action is performed.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the cutting mechanism 7 also includes a safety grating 72, which is arranged above the cutter 71. Before cutting the cable 6 or the cable bundle, the safety grating 72 is activated, and after scanning the cutting area for foreign matter, the cutting mechanism 7 performs the cutting action, thereby ensuring safe production.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the support wheel group also includes a third transverse auxiliary wheel 13, and the third transverse auxiliary wheel 13 includes a plurality of third transverse auxiliary wheels 13, which are respectively arranged on the bracket 5 between the inlet guide wheel group 31 and the first flip auxiliary wheel 61, and on the bracket 5 between the second limit wheel group 42 and the outlet guide wheel group 32. The third transverse auxiliary wheel 13 is parallel to the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11, and its two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the first side 51 and the second side 52. The plurality of third transverse auxiliary wheels 13 can assist the first transverse and vertical auxiliary wheels and the second transverse auxiliary wheels 12 in supporting the cable 6 or the cable bundle, thereby avoiding the "waist collapse" phenomenon of the cable 6 or the cable bundle on the support wheel group (that is, the cable 6 or the cable bundle produces downward deflection on the support wheel group under the action of its own gravity), thereby ensuring the accuracy of metering.

[0054] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, one end of the rotating shaft of the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62 is flipably connected to the first side 51 through a flip cylinder 63. The flip cylinder 63 realizes the flipping of the first flip auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flip auxiliary wheel 62.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the meter-counting mechanism further includes a double-shaft double-rod cylinder 24, which is disposed on the first side 51, and whose driving end is connected to the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 to drive the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 to move synchronously. The two movable auxiliary wheels 21 are moved synchronously by the double-shaft double-rod cylinder 24, so that the two movable auxiliary wheels 21 exert the same squeezing force on the cable 6 or the cable bundle, and together with the meter-counting wheel 22, form a balanced force-shaped "pink" squeezing force on the cable 6 or the cable bundle, thereby ensuring the normal progress of the meter-counting work and the accuracy of the meter-counting.

[0056] The cylinder, flip cylinder 63 and cut-off cylinder in the above embodiments need an external compressor to provide power for them; the meter sensor 23 and the safety grating 72 need an external power supply and are connected to a programmable logic controller on a winding machine and other equipment to realize logic function control.

[0057] To sum up, compared with the prior art, the cable counting device provided by the present invention avoids the problems of threading in the prior art and the inability to count a large number of cables 6 at the same time by supporting the cable 6 moving thereon on the supporting wheel group. The rolling contact and the herringbone extrusion between the cable 6 and the cable bundle produced by the first transverse auxiliary wheel 11, the second transverse auxiliary wheel 12 and the counting wheel 22 of the counting mechanism achieve the counting of the meter while preventing the counting wheel 22 and the cable 6 from slipping. The first limiting wheel group 41 and the second limiting wheel group 42 avoid the problem of the cable 6 being offset on the supporting wheel group. The first flipping auxiliary wheel 61 and the second flipping auxiliary wheel 62 avoid the problem of the cable 6 or the cable bundle jumping up and down during the movement on the supporting wheel group. The cutting mechanism 7 improves the automation of the equipment and improves the production efficiency. The safety grating 72 ensures safe production.
