Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of metal material processing and manufacturing, and particularly relates to a production method for assembling a cable reel made of recycled aluminum. BACKGROUND

[0002] Recycled aluminum, also known as secondary aluminum, is obtained by smelting waste aluminum parts and waste aluminum materials. At present, the annual production of recycled aluminum in the world is about 4 million tons, accounting for a considerable share of the production of primary aluminum. The recycling of recycled aluminum can reduce the destruction of land vegetation and consume only about 5% of the energy of electrolytic aluminum production, and is increasingly valued. However, in the process of recycling and remelting, the impurities in recycled aluminum are relatively high, and in order to ensure the performance of the products produced by recycled aluminum, purification and impurity removal in the smelting and casting of recycled aluminum are particularly important.

[0003] The cable reel is also called cable tray, cable tray, cable reel, etc. Its structure is a disc type, the cable is wound on the outer edge of the disc, and the core of the reel is a shaft hole which can be inserted into the shaft after the reel is erected to realize free rotation and gradually extend the cable. The structure is simple and durable. The traditional cable reel is made of steel-wood composite material or steel. The angle steel roller is bent into a circular frame, the joints are welded and fixed, and then the circular frame and the spokes are welded together. The flat part of the reel is usually filled with a wooden board.

[0004] Although the traditional cable reel has low manufacturing cost, it still has the following shortcomings: 1. The part filled with wood board of the cable reel needs to use a large amount of wood, which does not meet the concept of environmental protection. The wooden board is also prone to rot in outdoor environment, affecting the service life; 2. The use of steel frame makes the overall weight of the cable reel heavier, which is not convenient during transportation and handling, and consumes more manpower, material resources and energy; 3. The repair of the cable reel is relatively complex and costly after damage, so if the damage is serious, the whole is scrapped, and the residual value is low; 4. The cable reel needs to occupy a large space for storage when it is idle, which is not conducive to reducing the storage cost.

[0005] Search for existing technologies related to aluminum alloy cable trays:

[0006] 1. An aluminum alloy cable reel structure; 201621294464.9; An aluminum alloy cable reel structure, comprising a steel support framework constituting a cable reel, a winding shaft framework provided in the steel support framework, and side frameworks provided at both ends of the winding shaft framework, locking bolts provided between the winding shaft framework and the side frameworks for easy assembly and disassembly, a whole winding reel sleeve provided on the outside of the winding shaft framework, an embedded circular groove provided on the inside of each of the two side frameworks, a smooth side plate disc provided in the embedded circular groove, two positioning square holes provided on the side plate disc, and a positioning tenon provided at each end of the winding reel sleeve and matched with the positioning square holes; the winding reel sleeve and the side plate disc are smooth in surface and suitable for mass production, and do not need to be spliced and nailed, so that quality control is reliable, assembly and use are convenient, the overall manufacturing cost is low, and the surface protective layer of the cable is not easily damaged during production, transportation and use.

[0007] 2. An aluminum alloy cable reel; 201921442234.6; An aluminum alloy cable reel, comprising a body and a fixing assembly, the body comprising a barrel and baffles provided on both sides of the barrel, a plurality of sliding grooves being symmetrically provided on opposite side walls of the two baffles, the sliding grooves being provided along the radial direction of the baffles, the cross section of the sliding grooves being in the shape of being small on the outside and large on the inside, an arc-shaped hole being provided on the side wall of the barrel along the circumferential direction and matched with a cable traction rope, an entry hole being provided at either end of the arc-shaped hole and having a diameter larger than the opening width of the arc-shaped hole, a plug being detachably connected to the entry hole, and the fixing assembly comprising a metal mesh, connecting rods and flanges, the two ends of the metal mesh being connected to two connecting rods, the axis lines of the two connecting rods being parallel, flanges being provided at the two ends of the connecting rods and being provided in the sliding grooves and being in sliding connection with the sliding grooves, and a thimble being provided on the flange and matched with the bottom wall of the sliding groove. The aluminum alloy cable reel provided by the present application has the arc-shaped hole and the fixing assembly provided on the cable reel, so that the first end and the last end of the cable are well fixed on the cable reel, and the quality of the cable product is ensured.

[0008] Although some cable reels made of aluminum alloy are introduced in the existing documents, there are still some shortcomings, such as low aluminum content, insufficient overall structural stability, and inconvenient disassembly. Moreover, the existing aluminum alloy reels still use welding structures in whole or in part, and the welding structure will cause annealing phenomenon at the aluminum alloy connecting nodes, resulting in serious local strength reduction and affecting the overall strength of the reel. SUMMARY

[0009] The present application provides a method for assembling and producing a cable reel made of recycled aluminum, all main components of the cable reel are made of aluminum profiles, which has the advantages of lightweight, green environmental protection and detachable assembly. Moreover, all connecting nodes adopt a non-welding connection form, so that mechanical loss is avoided and the overall strength is high.

[0013] The embedded block is made of steel, and through holes are provided on the upper and lower end faces of the embedded block.

Threaded holes are provided on the side surface of the embedded block, and the bolts pass through the through holes of the spoke to fix the spoke close to the reel profile.

[0014] The outer disc holder profile is obtained by roll bending or press bending.

[0015] The assembly includes the following steps:

[0016] A, the reel shaft is vertically placed, one end of the reel shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the spoke, and the bolt is tightened and fixed;
