[0039] See also Figure 1-7 The present invention discloses an optical fiber retractable cable assembly, which is arranged in a storage box 1 and includes:

[0040] A winding roller 2, the winding roller 2 is rotatably disposed in the storage box 1, the inner wall of the winding roller 2 is provided with a spirally distributed storage groove 21 for accommodating the cable 01, and the storage groove 21 is provided with a locking mechanism 211 for locking the cable 01;

[0041] A cable arrangement assembly 4, wherein the cable arrangement assembly 4 is fixedly disposed in the storage box 1 and is in contact with the inner wall of the winding roller 2;

[0042] The cable assembly 4 includes a vertically arranged guide rod 42 and a guide slider 41 slidably arranged on the guide rod 42, the guide slider 41 is used to extend into the storage groove 21 to guide the cable 01 to be stored and released, the guide slider 41 is provided with a guide wheel 44 corresponding to the storage groove 21, and the guide slider 41 is also provided with a magnetic attraction portion 43;

[0043] The locking mechanism 211 includes two groups of arc-shaped fixing plates arranged opposite to each other, the arc-shaped fixing plates are hinged in the storage groove 21 to fix the cable 01, and a pull ring is also provided at the connection between the arc-shaped fixing plates and the storage groove 21 to make the two groups of the arc-shaped fixing plates in a closed or open state, and a first magnetic block is provided on one side of the arc-shaped fixing plate away from the hinge;

[0044] The magnetic attraction portion 43 is slidably provided with second magnetic blocks 431 corresponding to the two groups of first magnetic blocks respectively. The magnetic attraction portion 43 is provided with two groups of expansion slots. The two groups of the second magnetic blocks 431 are used to absorb the first magnetic blocks and slide along the expansion slots to drive the two groups of the arc-shaped fixed plates to unfold.

[0045] In the present application, a winding roller 2 structure is proposed, in which a spirally distributed storage groove 21 is provided inside for winding the cable 01, and a locking mechanism 211 is also provided to ensure that the cable 01 is stably and orderly stored in the storage groove 21 to prevent it from being scattered and entangled inside;

[0046] A cable arrangement component 4 is provided. When the winding roller 2 is in the process of reeling in and releasing the cable 01, the cable arrangement component 4 can open or close the locking mechanism 211 accordingly, and unlock or lock the corresponding locking mechanism 211. The guide slider 41 provided thereon can be used to guide the cables 01 to be arranged in an orderly manner into the storage groove 21, and the magnetic attraction portion 43 provided thereon can be used to adsorb the first magnetic block provided on the locking mechanism 211, so as to guide the locking mechanism 211 to unfold, thereby unlocking the cable 01. It should be noted that the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction portion 43 and the first magnetic block is greater than the pulling force of the pull ring. It should be further noted that the pull ring is used to provide elastic force for the two sets of arc-shaped fixing plates to separate or approach each other, so that the arc-shaped fixing plates are in a fixed or unfolded state, and can switch between the two states under the influence of external force.

[0047] In the present application, the two groups of expansion slots are arranged relatively tilted, so that the second magnetic block 431 can adsorb the first magnetic block on the arc-shaped fixed plate in the closed state, and with the relative operation of the winding roller 2 and the cable assembly 4, the second magnetic block 431 can slide along the expansion slot, driving the two groups of arc-shaped fixed plates to unfold;

[0048] A return spring 432 is disposed between the two groups of the second magnetic blocks 431 , and the return spring 432 is used to drive the two groups of the second magnetic blocks 431 to return to an initial state.

[0049] Through the above arrangement, when the second magnetic block 431 adsorbs the first magnetic block on the arc-shaped fixed plate in a closed state, as the winding roller 2 and the cable assembly 4 move relative to each other, the second magnetic block 431 can slide along the expansion slot, causing the two groups of second magnetic blocks 431 to move away from each other, thereby driving the locking mechanism 211 to unfold.

[0050] Furthermore, the magnetic attraction portion 43 further includes a third magnetic block 433 distributed up and down on the guide slider 41. The third magnetic block 433 is used to pass between the first magnetic blocks in the open state and attract them to close during the storage process.

[0051] In the present application, when the device is storing the cable 01, for the locking mechanism 211 in the unfolded state, the present application can absorb the arc-shaped fixing plate in the unfolded state through the third magnetic block 433, and make it contact with the guide slider 41 under the action of the pull ring, and then when the guide slider 41 guides the cable 01 to be stored, the arc-shaped fixing plate can be fixed to the outside of the cable 01.

[0052] It should be noted that the guide wheel 44 is used to cooperate with the spirally distributed storage groove 21 to guide the cable arrangement assembly 4 to slide on the guide rod 42 as the cable is retracted and released. Through the setting of the guide wheel 44, the cable arrangement assembly 4 can be at a specified height position as the cable 01 is retracted and released.

[0053] It should be noted that a rotating ring 22 is provided on the winding roller 2 , and a driven latching tooth 23 is provided at the bottom of the winding roller 2 .

[0054] It should be further supplemented that a driving component 24 is further included. A rotating gear is provided at the output end of the driving component 24. The rotating gear is meshed with the driven gear 23 to drive the winding roller 2 to rotate inside the storage box 1.

[0055] Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, under the drive of the driving component 24, the winding roller 2 can be driven to rotate inside the storage box 1. It should be noted that the driving component 24 is a servo motor, which can be electrically connected to the laser cleaning equipment to synchronize the progressive speed of the laser cleaning equipment and control the wire release speed.

[0056] It should be noted that a partition is provided in the storage box 1, and the partition divides the storage box 1 into a storage chamber 11 and a power supply chamber 12 which are distributed vertically.

[0057] The winding roller 2 is rotatably arranged on the partition through a rotating ring 22;

[0058] The power supply cavity 12 is provided with a power supply and a laser emitting component. In the above description, the power supply and the laser emitting component are existing technical means, so they are not described and supplemented in detail.

[0059] Furthermore, it also includes a placement rack 3, which is arranged in the storage box 1 and extends into the winding roller 2, and the placement rack 3 is used to place the laser cleaning equipment.

[0060] It should be added that a power supply slip ring and a rotary connector for connecting the cable 01 and the power supply and laser emitting assembly are provided at the axis of the winding roller 2. The power supply slip ring and the rotary connector are used to connect the power supply and the laser emitting assembly to the rotating cable 01 to provide a light source and power supply for the cable 01.
