Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of horizontal cabling machines, and in particular to a wire storage device of a horizontal cabling machine. Background Art

[0002] As an important equipment in the large-size and long-length umbilical cable manufacturing industry, the horizontal cable machine is mainly used to twist multiple optical units and tube units into an umbilical cable. This equipment consists of a main capstan, a cradle, a distribution drum and a front capstan.

[0003] The working principle of the horizontal cable machine is relatively simple, but the design is very complex. During the production process, the cables are released from each reel, passed through the stranding die and the tension control device, and then twisted into a complete umbilical cable. Among them, the active pay-off motor is an important component for controlling the tension of a single cable. It is responsible for providing the initial tension of a single cable during the twisting process, ensuring that the cable can enter the stranding die smoothly and orderly.

[0004] However, existing horizontal cabling machines have significant defects in tension control. Specifically, existing equipment mainly controls tension through active pay-off motors, but this control method lacks tension detection and tension feedback devices. In the actual production process, the tension of the cable will continue to change due to various factors such as the material, diameter, length and twisting speed of the cable. The existing horizontal cabling machine cannot detect this change in real time, nor can it adjust the tension in time according to the detection results, so it cannot ensure the stability of the tension.

[0005] Unstable tension will directly affect the quality of the umbilical cable. Excessive tension may cause the cable to break or be damaged during the twisting process, while too little tension may cause the umbilical cable to be loose or loosely twisted. Both of these situations will seriously affect the strength and stability of the umbilical cable, and may even cause the umbilical cable to malfunction or fail during use.

[0006] In addition, the instability of tension will increase the scrap rate and cost in the production process. Since it is impossible to detect and adjust the tension in real time, production personnel can only observe and adjust based on experience, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure the accuracy of adjustment. Therefore, the defects of existing horizontal cabling machines in tension control have become an important factor restricting the development of the umbilical cable manufacturing industry. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a wire storage device for a horizontal cabling machine, so as to overcome the defects of the existing horizontal cabling machine in tension control, improve the product quality and stability of the umbilical cable, and reduce the scrap rate.
