Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable production, and particularly to a tension control mechanism for a signal cable twisting device. Background Art

[0002] In modern communication and electrical systems, signal cables play a crucial role in transmitting various key signals, and their quality is directly related to the stability and accuracy of signal transmission. During the production process of signal cables, the twisting process is a crucial step. In the existing twisting devices, during the process of twisting and winding the signal cable onto the winding roller, a tension control mechanism for the signal cable is often set up. The tension control mechanism ensures that the cable is evenly wound on the winding roller by increasing the tension of the signal cable output to the winding roller, and avoids overlapping lines caused by tension fluctuations.

[0003] However, traditional tension control mechanisms mostly adopt mechanical adjustment schemes to control the tension by adjusting the position of the tension pulley. However, such mechanical structures rely on manual experience for manual adjustment, making it difficult to quickly adjust the tension in real time according to the winding situation. Moreover, the tension pulley and the guide pulley are independently controlled, resulting in the operator being able to adjust only a single tension pulley at a time, slowing down the efficiency, and lacking a synchronous adjustment mechanism, which is likely to cause uneven twisting pitches due to tension imbalance. In addition, the traditional tension pulley lacks an anti-detachment design, and the cable is easily detached from the pulley groove in a slack state, affecting the continuity of production.

And the single-rod bearings 431 always move horizontally on the single-rod bearing limit plate 52. The single-rod bearings 431 drive vertical movement through the single-rod bearing limit plate 52. Cable anti-detachment mechanisms 6 are provided on the sliding mounting blocks 06 slidably installed on the first guide rail unit 1.

[0024] In addition, limiting units 3 are vertically arranged symmetrically on both sides of the component mounting frame 7 on the upper surface of the mounting platform 012. The limiting units 3 are used to support the lower limiting plate 9 while limiting the movement trajectory of the single-rod bearing 431. The limiting units 3 include a mounting base plate 31, and a single-rod bearing limiting frame 32 is vertically arranged on the upper surface of the mounting base plate 31. A telescopic sleeve 33 is vertically arranged on one side of the single-rod bearing limiting frame 32.

[0025] Among them, the internal cavity of the telescopic sleeve 33 vertically slides with the limited telescopic rod 34, and the limited telescopic rod 34 includes a telescopic rod body 342. The telescopic rod body 342 vertically slides on the telescopic sleeve 33, and the top of the telescopic rod body 342 is horizontally fixedly connected to the limited top plate 341. The limited top plate 341 is used to support the lower limit plate 9, and the telescopic rod body 342 supports the upper lower limit plate 9 by telescoping.

[0026] Moreover, a first spring 35 is provided on the outside of the telescopic sleeve 33, the top end of the first spring 35 abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting top plate 341, and the bottom end of the first spring 35 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting base plate 31. An arc-shaped guide block 321 is provided on the top of the single-rod bearing limiting frame 32. The inner arc concave surface of the arc-shaped guide block 321 on the side close to the single-rod bearing 431 is used to limit the range of movement of the single-rod bearing 431. The arc-shaped guide block 321 ensures that the single-rod bearings 431 on both sides can approach each other at the same time.

[0027] At the same time, the component mounting frame 7 includes a servo electric cylinder mounting seat 71, which is arranged on the upper surface of the mounting platform 012. The driving mechanism 8 is symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the servo electric cylinder mounting seat 71. A cross support mechanism connecting rod 72 is arranged in the middle of the upper surface of the servo electric cylinder mounting seat 71, and the cross connection between the first support link 41 and the second support link 42 is installed on the cross support mechanism connecting rod 72.

[0028] In addition, the driving mechanism 8 includes a servo electric cylinder 81, which is vertically mounted on the upper surface of the servo electric cylinder mounting base 71. The top output end of the servo electric cylinder 81 is equipped with a piston rod 82, and the top of the piston rod 82 is provided with a piston rod connecting plate 83. The piston rod connecting plate 83 is used to connect with the upper limit plate unit 5. The servo electric cylinder 81 can accurately control the height of the upper limit plate 51 rising and falling.

[0029] Moreover, the upper limit plate unit 5 includes an upper limit plate 51. On the surface of the upper limit plate 51 away from the tension pulley 05, a single-rod bearing limit plate 52 is installed. The two ends of the upper limit plate 51 are used for assembling and connecting with the sliding mounting blocks 06 on the two first guide rails 12. In the middle of the upper limit plate 51, an electric cylinder connecting plate 512 is provided, and the electric cylinder connecting plate 512 is used for assembling and connecting with the piston rod connecting plate 83. On the surface of the upper limit plate 51 away from the tension pulley 05, single-rod bearing limit plate mounting grooves 511 for installing the single-rod bearing limit plate 52 are symmetrically arranged. The single-rod bearing limit plate mounting grooves 511 are used for the quick positioning of the single-rod bearing limit plate 52.

[0030] In addition, a single-rod bearing limit sliding groove 521 is horizontally and penetratingly opened on the single-rod bearing limit plate 52. The single-rod bearing limit sliding groove 521 is used for the horizontal sliding of the single-rod bearing 431. At both ends of the plate body of the single-rod bearing limit plate 52, upper limit plate mounting blocks 522 are symmetrically arranged, and the upper limit plate mounting blocks 522 are used for installing at the single-rod bearing limit plate mounting grooves 511.

[0031] Among them, the cable anti-drop-off mechanism 6 includes a sliding frame 61. The sliding frame 61 is fixed on the upper surface of the sliding mounting block 06 on the first guide rail 12. The sliding frame 61 includes sliding rods 611 symmetrically arranged up and down. An anti-drop-off frame 62 is slidably matched with the sliding rods 611, and the sliding rods 611 ensure that the anti-drop-off frame 62 can move linearly back and forth.

[0032] At the same time, the anti-drop-off frame 62 includes a sliding connection frame 622. The bottom plate body of the sliding connection frame 622 is slidably matched with the sliding rods 611. At the top of the sliding connection frame 622, a cable anti-drop-off plate 623 is fixedly connected. On one side of the bottom plate body of the sliding connection frame 622, a limit convex block 621 is fixedly connected. The limit convex block 621 contacts the anti-drop-off mechanism limit surface 131. Second springs 63 are sleeved on the sliding rods 611. One end of each second spring 63 abuts against the surface of the plate body of the sliding frame 61 close to the tension pulley 05, and the other end abuts against the surface of the bottom plate body of the sliding connection frame 622. The second springs 63 are used to realize the reset of the sliding connection frame 622.

[0033] And, on the surface of the cable anti-drop-off plate 623 facing the tension pulley 05, a plurality of anti-drop-off limit rods 6231 are evenly arranged. The anti-drop-off limit rods 6231 are in a semi-circular arc shape. The anti-drop-off limit rods 6231 are used to block above the tension pulley 05, and the anti-drop-off limit rods 6231 are used to ensure that the cable wire will not break away from the tension pulley 05.

[0034] Moreover, limiting abutting plates 92 are fixedly connected to both sides of the plate body of the lower limiting plate 9. The limiting abutting plates 92 are used to be abutted by the limiting top plate 341. A lower roller sliding surface 91 is arranged on the upper surface of the lower limiting plate 9. The lower roller sliding surface 91 is used for the support rollers 43 at the bottoms of the first support link 41 and the second support link 42 to slide. The lower limiting plate 9 is installed on sliding mounting blocks 06 located on both sides at the second guide rail 2. The limiting abutting plates 92 are used to be abutted by the limiting telescopic rod 34.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the wires are twisted by the twisting unit 02 and the signal cable is twisted by the twisting unit 02, the twisted signal cable is wound up by the winding unit 03 on one side. During this period, the signal cable will pass through the tension control unit 01. The signal cable enters the interior through an inlet on one side of the outer shell 011, and then is guided by the guide wheel 04 near the twisting unit 02. The signal cable passes through one of the tension wheels 05 at the top, then is guided by the two guide wheels 04 below, passes through another tension wheel 05, and finally is guided to the winding unit 03 by the guide wheel 04 near the winding unit 03. During this process, the tension of the signal cable is adjusted by adjusting the two guide wheels 04 between the two tension wheels 05 to ensure a stable tension, which can ensure that the cable is evenly wound on the winding unit 03, and avoid phenomena such as overlapping wires, collapsed coils or "bell mouths" caused by tension fluctuations, and reduce frictional damage during subsequent unwinding.

[0036] First, when the signal cable is installed on the tension control unit 01, the first support link 41 and the second support link 42 are in a cross-contracted state at this time. At this time, the distance between the movable tension wheel 05 and the guide wheel 04 above and below is the shortest. At this time, it is convenient to install the signal cable. At this time, the anti-drop frame 62 does not contact the anti-drop mechanism limiting plate 13, and the limiting convex block 621 is not restricted by the anti-drop mechanism limiting surface 131. At this time, the second spring 63 abuts against the sliding connection frame 622, so that the anti-drop limiting rod 6231 is not located above the groove of the tension wheel 05, which is convenient for the operator to install the signal cable through the tension wheel 05. After installation, the tension can be adjusted.

[0037] When adjusting the tension, by controlling the servo electric cylinder 81, the piston rod 82 of the servo electric cylinder 81 extends, thus pushing the upper limit plate 51 upward. As the upper limit plate 51 moves upward, the single-rod bearing limit plate 52 moves upward synchronously, causing the single-rod bearing 431 in the single-rod bearing limit chute 521 to move upward. And while the single-rod bearing 431 moves upward, the single-rod bearing 431 will be squeezed by the arc-shaped guide blocks 321 on both sides, so that the single-rod bearings 431 on both sides move closer to each other as they slide on the concave surface of the arc-shaped guide blocks 321, thereby realizing the rotation of the first support link 41 and the second support link 42 around their intersection point. The support rollers 43 at the upper and lower ends of the first support link 41 and the second support link 42 move closer to each other. When the first support link 41 and the second support link 42 cooperate with the support rollers 43 to push the upper limit plate 51 at the top upward, they can also synchronously press the lower limit plate 9 downward. The support rollers 43 at the bottom roll on the lower roller sliding surface 91 and press the limit telescopic rod 34 downward, causing the first spring 35 to contract. Through the above operations, the distance between the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 9 can be quickly increased.

[0038] And when the upper limit plate 51 moves, it drives the sliding mounting block 06 on the first guide rail 12 to slide upward and drives the tension pulley 05 to move upward. When the lower limit plate 9 moves, it drives the sliding mounting block 06 on the second guide rail 2 to slide downward and drives the guide pulley 04 to move downward, so that the distance between the upper and lower tension pulleys 05 and the guide pulley 04 is increased, thereby realizing the slow tensioning of the signal cable. And it can be adjusted in real time according to the situation of the signal cable being wound onto the winding unit 03. And in this way, both the guide pulley 04 and the tension pulley 05 can be quickly adjusted, and their distance span is larger. Compared with the traditional situation where only the tension pulley 05 can be adjusted, the range of the tension size adjusted by this tension control unit 01 is larger, and the adjustment range of the distance between the tension pulley 05 and the guide pulley 04 is wider.

[0039] Meanwhile, during the upward movement of the upper limit plate unit 5, as the sliding mounting block 06 on the first guide rail 12 moves upward, it drives the cable anti-drop mechanism 6 to rise synchronously. As a result, the limit bump 621 will gradually come into contact with the anti-drop mechanism limit plate 13. As the limit bump 621 is gradually resisted by the anti-drop mechanism limit surface 131, the anti-drop mechanism limit surface 131 will gradually resist the limit bump 621 and squeeze the limit bump 621, thereby driving the sliding connection frame 622 to slide on the slide bar 611. The second spring 63 contracts under the extrusion of the sliding connection frame 622. At the same time, the cable anti-drop plate 623 moves towards the tension pulley 05, so that the anti-drop limit rod 6231 can be located directly above the groove of the tension pulley 05. This prevents the signal cable in a loose and non-tightened state from falling off the tension pulley 05 during the retraction of the signal cable, effectively ensuring that the signal cable always rests in the groove of the tension pulley 05 after the signal cable is tightened.

[0040] When the servo cylinder 81 retracts the piston rod 82 and the upper limit plate 51 returns to the initial state, after the limit bump 621 separates from the anti-drop mechanism limit plate 13, the second spring 63 releases its elastic potential energy, facilitating the pushing of the sliding connection frame 622 to reset it, causing the cable anti-drop plate 623 to move away from the tension pulley 05, which is convenient for the operator to perform subsequent installation of the signal cable.

[0041] Moreover, as the upper limit plate 51 moves downward and resets, the bottom support roller 43 moves upward and no longer presses on the lower roller sliding surface 91. The first spring 35 releases its elastic potential energy, causing the first spring 35 to push the telescopic rod body 342 to move vertically upward on the telescopic sleeve 33. The limit top plate 341 pushes the limit abutting plate 92 upward, thereby realizing the upward movement and reset of the lower limit plate 9.

[0042] In the present invention, by setting the drive mechanism 8 to drive the movement of the upper limit plate unit 5 and cooperating with the upper and lower synchronous adjustment unit 4 and the limit unit 3, the synchronous movement of the upper limit plate unit 5 and the lower limit plate 9 can be achieved, enabling the distances between the upper and lower tension pulleys 05 and the guide pulleys 04 to be adjusted simultaneously, realizing the tension control of the signal cable, and enabling both the guide pulley 04 and the tension pulley 05 to be quickly adjusted, with a larger span of their distances. Compared with the traditional situation where only the tension pulley 05 can be adjusted, the range of tension adjustment of this tension control unit 01 is larger, the adjustment range of the distance between the tension pulley 05 and the guide pulley 04 is wider, and all the tension pulleys 05 can be controlled simultaneously at one time. Compared with the traditional method of adjusting a single tension pulley 05 at one time, the efficiency is higher, solving the core problems of low precision, slow response, and poor coordination of the traditional tension control mechanism.

[0043] Driven by the up-and-down synchronous adjustment unit 4 and the servo electric cylinder 81, through the first support link 41 and the second support link 42 with X-shaped cross-hinges, the linkage lifting of the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 9 is realized, and the distance between multiple groups of tension wheels 05 and guide wheels 04 is synchronously controlled, significantly expanding the tension adjustment range span by more than 30%, and the response speed is increased by 50% compared with the traditional mechanical solution.

[0044] The single-rod bearing limit frame 32 and the arc-shaped guide block 321 cooperate to restrict the lateral sliding trajectory of the single-rod bearing 431, ensure the smooth movement of the cross-linkage mechanism, and avoid tension oscillation caused by mechanical jamming.

[0045] The contact design between the anti-drop-off mechanism limit surface 131 and the limit convex block 621 ensures that the anti-drop-off frame 62 only retracts during cable installation / removal and is always in a protective state during the production process.

[0046] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
