Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical cable production, and specifically to a method for producing and cutting optical cables. Background Art

[0002] In a case of an invention of a method for producing and cutting a cable disclosed in the prior art, a Chinese patent with the invention patent application number CN201711132078.9, a cable cutting production line, solves the problem that when replacing a cutting tool in the prior art, the cable production line needs to be stopped and restarted, affecting its production efficiency. The cable cutting production line includes a wire feeding device, a driving device, and a cutting device arranged in sequence. A buffer device is arranged between the wire feeding device and the cutting device. The buffer device includes a frame, a driving wheel and a driven wheel arranged in sequence along the length direction of the frame. The driving wheel is rotatably connected to one end of the frame and is driven to rotate by a first driving member. The driven wheel is rotatably connected to a sliding frame. The sliding frame is driven by a traction mechanism to slide back and forth along the length direction of the frame. The cable is wound back and forth between the driving wheel and the driven wheel and is conveyed to the cutting device through the driving device. When replacing the cutting tool, the production line continues to operate, thereby reducing resource waste and improving production efficiency.

[0003] This invention has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. The storage capacity of the equipment buffer device is limited and is only applicable to the cutting mechanism that can quickly replace the tool or make adjustments. When the cutting mechanism needs long-term repair or maintenance, the entire production line still needs to be stopped;

[0005] 2. The equipment needs to specifically add a unit for the buffer device, increasing the structural complexity, raising the failure rate, and increasing the equipment cost, while not bringing other beneficial effects;

[0006] 3. When the equipment buffers the optical cable, it cannot continue to segment the optical cable, so the time spent during the tool replacement process is still wasted in vain, and the production efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing and cutting optical cables to solve the disadvantages mentioned in the above background art. The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A method for producing and cutting optical cables, and the specific steps of the method are as follows:

[0009] S1. First, fixedly install the starting end of the optical cable into the equipment;

[0010] S2. Then start the equipment, and the equipment winds the optical cable on the reel in the processing cylinder;

[0011] S3. After the equipment winds up a roll of optical cable, without cutting, the wound roll of optical cable is discharged from the equipment, and then the winding process of the next roll of optical cable is carried out;

[0012] S4. The equipment continuously produces wound optical cables connected by optical cables in the middle;

[0013] S5. Finally, the cutting mechanism cuts off the optical cable connecting the wound optical cables to obtain finished optical cable reels;

[0014] On the left side of the processing cylinder described in S1, a driving mechanism is coaxially and fixedly installed. On the right side of the driving mechanism, a conveying reel and a first feeding mechanism are installed; the wire feeding mechanism is fixedly installed on the left inner wall of the processing cylinder. On the side wall of the processing cylinder, a second feeding mechanism and a third feeding mechanism for conveying are respectively and oppositely fixedly connected. The second feeding mechanism and the third feeding mechanism for conveying are respectively used for conveying the first disc and the second disc, and the second feeding mechanism and the third feeding mechanism penetrate the processing cylinder. Below the processing cylinder, a first conveyor belt is fixedly installed. The first conveyor belt penetrates the processing cylinder and the upper surface of the first conveyor belt is tangent to the inner wall of the processing cylinder; on the right side of the processing cylinder, a reserve cylinder is arranged, and a cutting mechanism is fixedly installed on the right side of the reserve cylinder;

[0015] Limit discs are fixedly arranged at both ends of the reel, and a first chute is opened on the outer wall of the reel;

[0016] The driving mechanism includes a motor. On the right side of the motor, a rotating shaft is installed, and the rotating shaft extends to the right end of the processing cylinder; a plurality of reels are movably installed on the rotating shaft. On the left side of the reel on the right side of the wire feeding mechanism, a first disc is rotatably installed. The first disc is horizontally slidably connected to the processing cylinder. On the first disc, a first U-shaped groove and a plurality of waist grooves are arranged. The arc section at the bottom of the first U-shaped groove fits with the reel. A wire passing plate is clamped at the opening section of the first U-shaped groove; on the right side of the first disc, a second disc is installed. On the second disc, a second U-shaped groove is arranged. On the arc section at the bottom of the second U-shaped groove, a first elastic buckle is arranged, and the first elastic buckle is slidably connected with the first chute;

[0017] The wire feeding mechanism includes a fixed block, which is fixedly connected with the processing cylinder. On the fixed block, a notch is opened corresponding to the first U-shaped groove on the first disc. On the fixed block at the left side position of the notch, a marking machine is fixedly installed, and a wire guiding wheel is fixedly installed on the left side of the marking machine; on the right side of the fixed block, a plurality of elastic wire pressing blocks are installed. The number and positions of the elastic wire pressing blocks correspond to the waist grooves, and the elastic wire pressing blocks can pass through the waist grooves;

[0018] A third U-shaped groove is arranged on the wire passing plate;

[0019] After the drum in the processing cylinder is processed and the equipment is cleared, the left drum will be replenished into the processing cylinder.

[0020] As a further solution of the present invention, the drum is divided into upper and lower halves, and matching blocks and slots are respectively arranged on the docking surfaces of the upper and lower halves of the drum; the first feeding mechanism is spliced on the rotating shaft through the blocks and slots to obtain the drum; by installing and replenishing the drum in a splicing manner, the replenishment of the drum can be carried out continuously, so that the number of drums prepared for use in the equipment is not limited. Further, the process of winding the optical cable by the equipment can be carried out continuously, and thus the optical cable winding and cutting are more coherent and independent, not easily affected by other processes, and the production efficiency is higher.

[0021] As a further solution of the present invention, the inner wall of the drum is provided with threads, and a second chute is also provided on the inner wall of the drum; a limiting block is fixedly connected to the motor, the limiting block is slidably connected to the second chute, the limiting block is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the right end of the limiting block is to the right side surface of the fixed block; a plurality of elastic bumps are arranged on the rotating shaft in the horizontal direction, and the distance between the elastic bumps is equal to the pitch of the threads; a avoiding groove is opened on the limiting block at the horizontal position corresponding to the elastic bumps; the side wall of the elastic bump in the processing cylinder is a cylinder, and the side wall of the elastic bump outside the processing cylinder is a frustum; through the cooperation of the elastic bumps and the limiting block, the drum always maintains a rightward movement trend, and when there is a drum in the processing cylinder, since the side wall of the elastic bump cooperating with the subsequent drum is a frustum, correspondingly, when the subsequent drum is blocked, the elastic bump can be pressed into the rotating shaft by the drum, so that the drum pauses to move rightward. When there is no drum in the processing cylinder, there is no obstacle in the rightward movement direction of the subsequent drum, that is, when the drum in the processing cylinder starts to leave the equipment, the subsequent drum can be replenished immediately, making the operation of the equipment more coherent, and thus the operation efficiency of the equipment is higher.

[0022] As a further solution of the present invention, a baffle is connected to the right end of the rotating shaft through a torsion spring.

[0023] As a further solution of the present invention, there is a certain frictional force between the outer wall surface of the drum and the optical cable, so that during the process of winding the optical cable around the drum, the optical cable will not easily slide between the drum, thereby avoiding the problem of winding failure caused by the optical cable and the drum slipping, improving the stability of the equipment operation, ensuring the stable winding of the optical cable, and thus ensuring the normal progress of subsequent cutting.

[0024] As a further solution of the present invention, a second elastic buckle is provided on the outer side wall of the second disc; a reserve cylinder with the same cross-sectional shape is placed overlappingly on the right side of the processing cylinder. An annular groove is provided at the right end of the reserve cylinder. The reserve cylinder is placed on the right side of the processing cylinder by splicing. A second conveyor belt is installed below the reserve cylinder; since this equipment processes optical cables into interconnected optical cable reels and then transports them to the cutting mechanism for separation, in order to better carry out the transportation and cutting of optical cable reels and also to protect the optical cables in the optical cable reels, by sleeving the reserve cylinder, the optical cable reel is made into a closed whole, enabling the optical cable to be stably wound on the reel while making subsequent transfer, cutting and other processes easier to carry out.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] 1. Through a special winding method, after the optical cable is wound into a roll, without affecting the winding of the next roll, the optical cable does not need to be cut; in the traditional solution, after winding one roll, it is cut, and then starting from the cut, the process of cutting again is changed to after winding one roll, without cutting, continuing to wind the next roll, and then cutting and separating the optical cables between the rolls; separating the cutting from the winding avoids the interference of cutting on the winding, so that even if the cutting mechanism needs to be maintained for a long time, the production line can still produce and wind optical cables normally; and since cutting the optical cable takes relatively little time compared to winding, after the cutting mechanism is maintained, the accumulated optical cable rolls during the maintenance period can be quickly processed, thus ensuring that the equipment will not cause a decrease in production efficiency due to the maintenance of the cutting mechanism.

[0027] 2. By installing and supplementing the reel in a splicing manner, the replenishment of the reel can be carried out continuously, avoiding the limitation of the number of reels prepared for use in the equipment. Further, the process of winding the optical cable in the equipment can be carried out continuously, and thus the cutting of the optical cable roll is more coherent and independent, not easily affected by other processes, and the production efficiency is higher.

[0028] 3. Through the cooperation of the elastic bumps and the limit blocks, the reel always maintains a rightward movement trend. When there is a reel in the processing cylinder, since the side wall of the elastic bump cooperating with the subsequent reel is a frustum of a cone, correspondingly, when the subsequent reel is blocked, the elastic bump can be pressed into the rotating shaft by the reel, thereby making the reel pause rightward movement. When there is no reel in the processing cylinder, there is no obstacle in the rightward movement direction of the subsequent reel, that is, when the reel in the processing cylinder starts to leave the equipment, the subsequent reel can be immediately replenished, making the operation of the equipment more coherent, and thus the operation efficiency of the equipment is higher.

[0050] S4. The device continuously produces reels of the optical cable 15 connected by the optical cable 15 in the middle;

[0051] S5. Finally, the cutting mechanism 10 cuts the optical cable 15 connecting the reels of the optical cable 15 to obtain a finished optical cable reel;

[0052] On the left side of the processing cylinder 6 described in S1, a driving mechanism 1 is coaxially and fixedly installed, and a conveying reel 11 and a first feeding mechanism 2 are installed on the right side of the driving mechanism 1; the wire conveying mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the left inner wall of the processing cylinder 6, and a second feeding mechanism 4 and a third feeding mechanism 5 for conveying are respectively and oppositely fixedly connected to the side wall of the processing cylinder 6.

[0053] Limit discs 11-1 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the reel 11, and a first chute 11-2 is formed on the outer wall of the reel 11;

[0054] The driving mechanism 1 includes a motor 1-1, a rotating shaft 1-2 is installed on the right side of the motor 1-1, and the rotating shaft 1-2 extends to the right end of the processing cylinder 6; a plurality of reels 11 are movably installed on the rotating shaft 1-2.

A second U-shaped groove 13-1 is arranged on the second disc 13, and a first elastic buckle 13-2 is arranged on the arc section at the bottom of the second U-shaped groove 13-1. The first elastic buckle 13-2 is slidably connected to the first chute 11-2;

[0055] The wire conveying mechanism 3 includes a fixed block 3-1, the fixed block 3-1 is fixedly connected to the processing cylinder 6, a notch 3-2 is formed in the fixed block 3-1 at the position corresponding to the first U-shaped groove 12-2 on the first disc 12, a marking machine 3-3 is fixedly installed on the fixed block 3-1 at the left side position of the notch 3-2, and a wire guiding wheel 3-4 is fixedly installed on the left side of the marking machine 3-3; a plurality of elastic wire pressing blocks 3-5 are installed on the right side of the fixed block 3-1. The number and positions of the elastic wire pressing blocks 3-5 correspond to those of the waist grooves 12-1, and the elastic wire pressing blocks 3-5 can pass through the waist grooves 12-1;

[0056] A third U-shaped groove 14-1 is arranged on the wire passing plate 14;

[0057] After the drum 11 in the processing cylinder 6 is processed and the equipment is excluded, the left drum 11 will be supplemented into the processing cylinder 6.

[0058] As a further solution of the present invention, the drum 11 is divided into upper and lower halves, and matching blocks 11-5 and slots 11-6 are respectively arranged on the docking surfaces of the upper and lower halves of the drum 11; the first feeding mechanism 2 is spliced on the rotating shaft 1-2 to obtain the drum 11 through the blocks 11-5 and slots 11-6; the drum 11 is installed and supplemented by splicing, so that the supplement of the drum 11 can be carried out continuously, avoiding the limitation of the number of drums 11 prepared for use in the equipment. Further, the process of winding the optical cable 15 by the equipment can be carried out continuously, and then the optical cable winding and cutting are more coherent and independent, not easily affected by other processes, and the production efficiency is higher.

[0059] As a further solution of the present invention, the inner wall of the drum 11 is provided with a thread 11-3, and a second chute 11-4 is also provided on the inner wall of the drum 11; a limiting block 1-2-2 is fixedly connected to the motor 1-1, the limiting block 1-2-2 is slidably connected to the second chute 11-4, the limiting block 1-2-2 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 1-2, and the right end of the limiting block 1-2-2 is to the right side surface of the fixed block 3-1; a plurality of elastic bumps 1-2-1 are arranged on the rotating shaft 1-2 along the horizontal direction, and the distance between the elastic bumps 1-2-1 is equal to the pitch of the thread 11-3. An avoidance groove 1-2-3 is opened on the limiting block 1-2-2 at the horizontal position corresponding to the elastic bump 1-2-1; the side wall of the elastic bump 1-2-1 in the processing cylinder 6 is a cylinder, and the side wall of the elastic bump 1-2-1 outside the processing cylinder 6 is a frustum; through the cooperation of the elastic bump 1-2-1 and the limiting block 1-2-2, the drum 11 always maintains a rightward movement trend. When there is a drum 11 in the processing cylinder 6, since the side wall of the elastic bump 1-2-1 cooperating with the subsequent drum 11 is a frustum, correspondingly, when the subsequent drum 11 is blocked, the elastic bump 1-2-1 can be pressed into the rotating shaft 1-2 by the drum 11, and then the drum 11 stops moving rightward. When there is no drum 11 in the processing cylinder 6, there is no obstacle in the rightward movement direction of the subsequent drum 11, that is, when the drum 11 in the processing cylinder 6 starts to leave the equipment, the subsequent drum 11 can be immediately supplemented, making the operation of the equipment more coherent, and then making the operation efficiency of the equipment higher.

[0060] As a further solution of the present invention, a baffle 1-2-4 is connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 1-2 through a torsion spring.

[0061] As a further solution of the present invention, there is a certain frictional force between the outer wall surface of the winding drum 11 and the optical cable 15, so that the optical cable 15 will not easily slide between the winding drum 11 during the process of winding around the winding drum 11, thereby avoiding the problem that the winding of the optical cable 15 and the winding drum 11 fails due to slipping, improving the stability of the equipment operation, ensuring the stable winding of the coiled optical cable 15, and then ensuring the normal progress of subsequent cutting.

[0062] As a further solution of the present invention, a second elastic buckle 13-3 is provided on the outer side wall of the second disc 13; a reserve cylinder 9 with the same cross-sectional shape is placed overlappingly on the right side of the processing cylinder 6. An annular groove 9-1 is opened at the right end of the reserve cylinder 9. The reserve cylinder 9 is placed on the right side of the processing cylinder 6 by splicing. A second conveyor belt 8 is installed below the reserve cylinder 9; since this equipment processes the optical cable 15 into interconnected optical cable reels and then transports them to the cutting mechanism 10 for separation, in order to make the transportation and cutting of the optical cable reels better, and also to protect the optical cable 15 in the optical cable reel, by sleeving the reserve cylinder 9, the optical cable reel is changed into a closed whole, so that the optical cable 15 can be stably wound on the winding drum 11 while making subsequent processes such as transportation and cutting easier to carry out.

[0063] Working principle: Before working, (as Figure 4 ) Install the winding drum 11 on the rotating shaft 1-2 in the processing cylinder 6. The first disc 12 and the wire passing plate 14 are sleeved on the left side of the winding drum 11 by being clamped together, wherein the first disc 12 is horizontally slidably connected to the processing cylinder 6; on the right side of the first disc 12, the second disc 13 and the wire passing plate 14 are sleeved on the winding drum 11 by being clamped together, wherein the second disc 13 is horizontally slidably connected to the winding drum 11 (the first elastic buckle 13-2 on the second disc 13 is clamped in the first chute 11-2 of the winding drum 11, so that the second disc 13 is slidably connected to the winding drum 11);

[0064] Fix the first fixed mark 16-1 at the starting end of the optical cable 15, and pass the starting end of the optical cable 15 through the guide pulley 3-4, the marking machine 3-3, the notch 3-2 and the U-shaped groove three 14-1 on the two wire passing plates 14 inside the processing cylinder 6, and pull it to the right side of the second disc 13; then start the equipment;

[0065] After the equipment is started, the first conveyor belt 7 rotates counterclockwise and generates a leftward frictional force on the first disc 12 and the second disc 13, thereby driving the first disc 12 and the second disc 13 to move leftward; so that the first disc 12 and the second disc 13 are close to the fixed block 3-1, and the elastic wire pressing block 3-5 on the right side of the fixed block 3-1 passes through the waist slot 12-1 on the first disc 12 and presses tightly on the left side of the second disc 13;

[0066] At the same time, the motor 1-1 is started (asFigure 7 ), and drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 1-2 (meanwhile, the first feeding mechanism 2 starts to continuously splice the winding drum 11 on the rotating shaft 1-2 from the upper and lower directions of the fixed block 3-1. During the installation process, the elastic bump 1-2-1 will be pressed into the rotating shaft 1-2 by the winding drum 11. Then, as the rotating shaft 1-2 rotates, when the elastic bump 1-2-1 aligns with the thread 11-3 on the inner wall of the winding drum 11, the elastic bump 1-2-1 pops out and inserts into the thread 11-3); the winding drum 11 slidingly connected to the fixed block 3-1 on the rotating shaft 1-2 cannot rotate due to the limitation of the fixed block 3-1. During the rotation of the elastic bump 1-2-1, the elastic bump 1-2-1 drives the winding drum 11 to move to the right in a thread-driven manner (when the winding drum 11 on the fixed block 3-1 runs to the right side of the fixed block 3-1 and is blocked by the winding drum 11 on the right side of the fixed block 3-1, at this time, the pressure of the thread 11-3 of the winding drum 11 on the side wall of the elastic bump 1-2-1 becomes larger. Since the side wall of the elastic bump 1-2-1 on the left side of the fixed block 3-1 is composed of a frustum of a cone, the pressure on the side wall of the elastic bump 1-2-1 will generate a downward pressure to press down the elastic bump 1-2-1. Further, when the winding drum 11 on the left side of the fixed block 3-1 is blocked, the corresponding elastic bump 1-2-1 will be pressed into the rotating shaft 1-2, and the winding drum 11 and the rotating shaft 1-2 will rotate relatively, and the winding drum 11 temporarily stops moving to the right).

[0067] Correspondingly, the winding drum 11 on the left side of the fixed block 3-1 is not restricted by the fixed block 3-1 to rotate, and its rightward movement direction is limited by the baffle 1-2-4 (such as Figure 8 ), at this time, the winding drum 11 is driven by the elastic bump 1-2-1 to rotate with the rotating shaft 1-2. Further, the winding drum 11 drives the first disc 12 to rotate, the first disc 12 drives the wire passing plate 14 thereon to rotate, and the wire passing plate 14 drives the starting end of the optical cable 15 to rotate (the first fixed mark 16-1 on the starting end of the optical cable 15 is stuck on the right side of the U-shaped groove three 14-1, so that the starting end of the optical cable 15 rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 1-2 with the wire passing plate 14); at the same time, for the wire passing plate 14 on the first disc 12, the optical cable 15 at the U-shaped groove three 14-1 does not rotate with the first disc 12 (the first disc 12 is slidably connected to the processing cylinder 6, so the first disc 12 does not rotate); further, as the equipment runs, the optical cable 15 is wound on the winding drum 11;

[0068] Also, because the second disc 13 is always in a leftward movement trend under the action of the first conveyor belt 7, and at the same time, the elastic wire pressing block 3-5 passes through the first disc 12 and presses the left side of the second disc 13, so when the optical cable 15 is wound on the winding drum 11 between the first disc 12 and the second disc 13, the optical cable 15 will be pressed by the elastic wire pressing block 3-5 on the left end face of the second disc 13, (such as Figure 12)Finally, it is wound layer by layer from right to left on the reel 11; when the optical cable 15 enters the device for a certain length, the displacement sensor on the device emits a signal, and the labeling machine 3-3 successively fixedly installs the second fixed label 16-2 and the first fixed label 16-1 on the passing optical cable 15 (it should be noted that there should be a certain length interval between the second fixed label 16-2 and the first fixed label 16-1 to avoid pulling on the just-produced optical cable reel during the winding process of the optical cable 15); as the optical cable 15 continues to wind on the reel 11, the second fixed label 16-2 gets stuck on the left side of the first disc 12 (combined with Figure 12 and Figure 13 , with the upper side being left and the lower side being right. At this time, the optical cable 15 between the second disc 13 and the first disc 12 is wound in the form of the first optical cable section 15-1 on the rightmost side, and then alternately wound layer by layer in the form of the third optical cable section 15-3 and the second optical cable section 15-2, and finally fixed on the left side of the wire passing plate 14 on the left in the form of the first optical cable section 15-1), so that there is no relative rotation between the second disc 13 and the first disc 12. Further, the second disc 13 stops rotating, and then the reel 11 stops rotating. At this time, the elastic bump 1-2-1 will push the reel 11 to move to the right through the thread 11-3 in the reel 11. After pushing open the limit block 1-2-2, it enters the reserve cylinder 9 (during this process, the subsequent reel 11 moves to the right to fill the empty space); when the second disc 13 moves to the rightmost end of the reserve cylinder 9, the second elastic buckle 13-3 on the outer wall of the second disc 13 snaps into the annular groove 9-1;

[0069] Then, a new reel 11 enters the right side of the fixed block 3-1; at this time, the second feeding mechanism 4 and the third feeding mechanism 5 install the second disc 13, the first disc 12 and two wire passing plates 14 on the reel 11 (it should be noted that before the installation is completed, the first fixed label 16-1 needs to reach the right side of the second disc 13 first), and then the above work is repeated in turn; among them, whenever the optical cable 15 in the processing cylinder 6 is about to be wound up, the previously processed optical cable reel needs to be transported away, and a new reserve cylinder 9 is re-spliced on the right side of the processing cylinder 6;

[0070] Finally, the cutting mechanism 10 cuts off the optical cable 15 connecting the optical cable reels, so that the optical cable reels are separated from each other.
