Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power equipment, and particularly to a cable conveyor. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the power industry, as an important part of the power transmission and distribution system, the importance of cables has become increasingly prominent. However, the cable laying process is full of challenges. Cables are heavy and long, making it difficult for traditional handling methods to efficiently and safely complete the laying task. When it comes to cable laying at a power site, due to the usually heavy weight of cables, traditional manual handling methods are not only inefficient but also pose safety hazards.

[0003] To solve this problem, cable conveyors came into being. They use a caterpillar clamping mechanism to convey cables, significantly improving work efficiency. However, although existing cable conveyors have achieved remarkable results in improving work efficiency, there are still deficiencies in the adjustment of cable clamping. Currently, most cable conveyors still use mechanical adjustment methods to adjust the clamping force. This method is not only laborious to operate but also has limited adjustment accuracy, making it difficult to meet the clamping requirements of different cable specifications. In addition, mechanical adjustment may also lead to increased wear of the clamping mechanism and reduce the service life of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a cable conveyor with electric adjustment. The cable conveyor with electric adjustment realizes the automatic adjustment of the clamping mechanism by introducing an electric drive device, thus solving many problems existing in the traditional mechanical adjustment method.

[0005] In summary, developing a cable conveyor with electric adjustment is an inevitable trend in the development of the power industry and also an inevitable choice to meet market demand, improve production efficiency, and ensure safe production. By introducing an electric adjustment device, precise control of the cable clamping force can be achieved, work efficiency can be improved, equipment wear can be reduced, and strong support can be provided for the sustainable development of the power industry. Summary of the Invention

The forward and reverse contactor, the frequency converter, and the PLC circuit board are arranged inside the housing. The touch display screen is arranged on the outer surface of the housing. The driving motors and the clamping motor are respectively provided with a forward and reverse contactor and a frequency converter;

[0011] The coil of the forward and reverse contactor is connected to the output terminal of the PLC, and its main contacts are connected to the power supply circuit of the driving motor or the clamping motor;

[0012] The input end of the frequency converter is connected to the power supply, and its output end is connected to the driving motor or the clamping motor;

[0013] The touch display screen is connected to the PLC circuit board through a communication cable.

[0014] Preferably, it further includes a remote controller. The remote controller is internally provided with a wireless transmission module, and the controller is provided with a wireless receiving module.

[0015] Preferably, it further includes a casing. The casing is arranged outside the track.

[0016] Preferably, the guiding assembly includes a cross bar and guiding wheels which are symmetrically arranged up and down. The guiding wheels are sleeved on the cross bar and fixedly arranged on the side brackets.

[0017] Preferably, it further includes a limit switch and a pressure sensor. The limit switch is arranged at the end of the horizontal slide's stroke and is electrically connected to the PLC circuit board;

[0018] The pressure sensor is arranged at the stress point inside the crawler. The stress point is near the crawler where the inside of the crawler contacts the cable, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the PLC circuit board.

[0019] Preferably, a grounding post is also provided on the housing, and the grounding post is used to connect a grounding wire clamp for grounding.

[0020] Preferably, weight-reducing holes are provided on the base.

[0021] Preferably, the crawler includes a plurality of interconnected links, and wear-resistant rubber is provided on the links.

[0022] An operation method of a cable conveyor includes the following steps:

[0023] Step 1, place the cable; pass the cable through the guiding assembly and place it inside the crawler of the cable conveyor;

[0024] Step 2, clamp the cable; start the clamping motor through the controller to make one side of the crawler clamp the cable inward along the horizontal slide, and then turn off the clamping motor;

[0025] Step 3, convey the cable; start the driving motor through the controller, and the driving motor drives the crawler to clamp and convey the cable. After the conveying is completed, start the clamping motor to loosen the cable in the reverse direction.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] The cable conveyor disclosed by the present invention is ingeniously designed, integrating a variety of functional components to achieve efficient and precise cable conveying. In particular, the electric adjustment device realizes precise control of the cable clamping force, improving work efficiency and reducing equipment wear:

[0028] The frame serves as the support structure of the entire conveyor. The frame includes a base, a bracket, side brackets, and an L-shaped mounting plate. These components together form a stable framework for installing and supporting other functional components;

[0029] The guiding assembly is arranged on the side bracket and is used to guide the moving direction of the cable on the conveyor to ensure that the cable can be conveyed along a predetermined path;

[0030] The drive system includes a drive motor, a turbine, a driven turbine, and a worm. The drive motor is connected to the turbine through a coupling. The turbine meshes with the driven turbine, and the driven turbine then meshes with the worm, forming a power transmission chain. The worm passes through the top of the L-shaped mounting plate and is sleeved with a first roller, which makes contact with the crawler, thereby driving the crawler to move. The crawler contacts the cable, and the cable is conveyed by the movement of the crawler;

[0031] The horizontal sliding table is arranged at the bottom of one of the L-shaped mounting plates and is fixedly connected to the base through the horizontal sliding table, while the other is directly fixed. The horizontal sliding table includes components such as a clamping motor, a screw rod, a nut, a sliding table, and a guide rail. The output shaft of the clamping motor is connected to the screw rod, and the nut is sleeved on the screw rod. When the nut moves on the screw rod, through the cooperation of the guide rail and the sliding table, the horizontal movement of the L-shaped mounting plate is realized. When it is necessary to adjust the clamping force of the cable, the controller sends an instruction to the clamping motor, and the clamping motor starts to work, driving the screw rod to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod causes the nut to move on the screw rod, and then drives the L-shaped mounting plate fixedly connected to the nut to move horizontally along the guide rail. The movement of the L-shaped mounting plate will change the contact pressure and clamping force between the crawler and the cable. By precisely controlling the rotation angle and speed of the clamping motor, precise adjustment of the cable clamping force can be achieved;

[0032] At the same time, precisely controlling the cable clamping force can avoid cable damage or difficult conveying caused by excessive clamping force, and can also avoid cable sliding or falling off caused by insufficient clamping force. Achieving fast and accurate clamping force adjustment through the electric adjustment device can significantly improve work efficiency, reduce manual intervention and downtime, and precisely controlling the clamping force can also reduce the wear degree of equipment components and extend the service life of the equipment;

[0033] This cable conveyor realizes precise control of the cable clamping force by introducing an electric adjustment device. This design not only improves work efficiency and reduces equipment wear, but also provides a more flexible and reliable cable conveying solution for users. In practical applications, this conveyor can be widely used in cable laying operations in industries such as electricity, communication, and construction. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0042] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, it shows the detailed implementation mode of the present invention: As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a cable conveyor disclosed by the present invention includes a frame 1, and a controller 9 and a power supply are arranged in the frame 1. The frame 1 includes a base 101, a bracket 102, a side bracket 103, and an L-shaped mounting plate 104. The two sides of the base 101 are fixedly connected to the side brackets 103. A guide assembly 2 is arranged on the side brackets 103. A plurality of brackets 102 are evenly arranged between the two side brackets 103. Two L-shaped mounting plates 104 are symmetrically arranged above the brackets 102. A driving motor 3 is arranged on the lower sides of the two L-shaped mounting plates 104. The driving motor 3 is respectively connected to a turbine 5 through a coupling. The turbine 5 is meshed with a driven turbine 501. The driven turbine 501 is meshed with a worm 6. The worm 6 passes through the top of the mounting plate and is sleeved with a first roller 7. A fixing column is also arranged on the L-shaped mounting plate 104. The bottom of the fixing column is fixedly connected to the L-shaped mounting plate 104, and a second roller 8 is sleeved on its top. A crawler 4 is arranged on the outer sides of the first roller 7 and the second roller 8;

[0044] One of the L-shaped mounting plates 104 is fixedly connected to the base 101 through a horizontal slide. The other L-shaped mounting plate 104 is fixedly connected to the base 101. The horizontal slide includes a clamping motor, a screw, a nut, a slide, and a guide rail. The output shaft of the clamping motor is connected to the screw. The screw is sleeved with the nut. Guide rails are arranged on the circumferential two sides of the nut. The guide rails are arranged on the slide. A chute corresponding to the slide rail is arranged at the bottom of one of the L-shaped mounting plates 104, and it is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the nut;

[0045] The driving motor 3 and the clamping motor are electrically connected to the controller 9.

[0046] By introducing an electric adjustment device, this device achieves precise control of the cable clamping force, improves work efficiency, and reduces equipment wear.

[0047] The working principle of this device:

[0048] Cable clamping: The clamping motor works to drive the screw to rotate, and the nut moves along the screw. The movement of the nut is transmitted to the sliding table through the guide rail, and the sliding table moves along the chute, driving an L-shaped mounting plate 104 to approach or move away from the base 101. This movement causes the crawler 4 to clamp or loosen the cable, achieving precise control of the cable clamping force.

[0049] Cable conveying: The driving motor 3 starts, and power is transmitted through the coupling, turbine 5, slave turbine 501, worm 6, and first roller 7 to drive the crawler 4 to move. The crawler 4 clamps the cable, and as the crawler moves, the cable is clamped and conveyed.

[0050] Cable release: After the conveying is completed, the clamping motor works in reverse, causing the L-shaped mounting plate 104 to move and the crawler 4 to loosen the cable.

[0051] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0052] Precise control: Through the electric adjustment device, the cable clamping force can be precisely controlled to avoid cable damage.

[0053] Flexibility: The clamping force can be adjusted according to the thickness of the cable and the conveying requirements to adapt to different cable diameters.

[0054] Reliability: The electric adjustment device reduces the error of manual operation and improves the reliability of conveying.

[0055] Reduced wear: Precise clamping force control reduces the friction between the crawler and the cable, reducing equipment wear.

[0056] The design of this cable conveyor takes into account the simplicity of operation, the durability of the equipment, and the accuracy of work, providing an efficient cable conveying solution for users.

[0057] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the controller 9 includes a forward and reverse contactor, a frequency converter, a PLC circuit board, a touch display screen, and a housing. The forward and reverse contactor, frequency converter, and PLC circuit board are arranged inside the housing, and the touch display screen is arranged on the outer surface of the housing. The driving motor 3 and the clamping motor are respectively provided with a forward and reverse contactor and a frequency converter;

[0058] The coil of the forward and reverse contactor is connected to the output terminal of the PLC, and its main contacts are connected to the power supply circuit of the driving motor 3 or the clamping motor;

[0059] The input end of the frequency converter is connected to the power supply, and its output end is connected to the drive motor 3 or the clamping motor;

[0060] The touch display screen is connected to the PLC circuit board through a communication cable.

[0061] The controller 9 is a device integrating various control elements and a display interface, mainly used for precisely controlling the drive motor 3 and the clamping motor.

[0062] Forward and reverse contactor: It is an electrical switch used to control the start, stop, forward rotation, and reverse rotation of the motor. It realizes the steering control of the motor by switching different circuit paths.

[0063] Installation location: The forward and reverse contactor is installed inside the housing of the controller to ensure the stability and safety of its operating environment.

[0064] Connection method: The coil of the forward and reverse contactor is connected to the output terminal of the PLC circuit board. When the PLC issues an instruction according to the preset program, it will activate the coil of the corresponding forward and reverse contactor, thereby closing or opening its main contacts, and further controlling the power circuit of the motor to achieve the forward or reverse rotation of the motor.

[0065] Frequency converter: It is used to change the motor speed. By adjusting the frequency of the input power supply, the frequency converter can smoothly control the motor speed to meet different working requirements.

[0066] Installation location: It is also installed inside the housing of the controller, adjacent to the forward and reverse contactor.

[0067] Connection method: The input end of the frequency converter is connected to the power supply to receive a stable AC input, and its output end is connected to the drive motor 3 or the clamping motor. It controls the motor speed by changing the frequency of the output power supply.

[0068] The PLC circuit board is the core component of the controller, responsible for receiving external signals, executing the preset program logic, and outputting control instructions. It is installed inside the housing and is closely integrated with other control elements.

[0069] The PLC circuit board is connected to the coil of the forward and reverse contactor, the control end of the frequency converter, and the communication interface of the touch display screen through internal lines. It controls the actions of the forward and reverse contactor and the output frequency of the frequency converter according to the preset program logic, thereby achieving precise control of the motor.

[0070] The touch display screen provides an intuitive user interface, allowing the operator to input control instructions, monitor the device status, and receive feedback information. The touch display screen is installed on the outer surface of the housing for easy observation and operation by the operator.

[0071] The touch display screen is connected to the PLC circuit board through a communication cable. This connection allows the touch display screen to receive the device status information and control instructions sent by the PLC circuit board and display them on the screen. At the same time, the operator can also input control instructions through the touch display screen, and these instructions will be sent to the PLC circuit board for execution.

[0072] In summary, the controller 9 realizes the precise control of the drive motor 3 and the clamping motor by integrating components such as the forward and reverse contactors, the frequency converter, the PLC circuit board, and the touch display screen. This design not only improves the automation level and working efficiency of the device, but also provides a good user experience and safety.

[0073] Preferably, it further includes a remote controller. The remote controller is built-in with a wireless transmission module, and the controller 9 is provided with a wireless reception module.

[0074] This device can also be remotely controlled. Its remote controller is built-in with a wireless transmission module, and the controller is provided with a matching wireless reception module. Through the wireless remote control system, users can remotely control and operate this device without touching the controller, improving the convenience and flexibility of the device.

[0075] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, it further includes a housing 10, and the housing 10 is arranged outside the crawler 4.

[0076] In the design of the cable conveyor, the housing 10, as an important protective component, is cleverly arranged outside the crawler 4. This design not only enhances the overall structural strength of the device, but more importantly, effectively protects the crawler.

[0077] The housing 10 is usually made of strong metal materials (such as steel plates, aluminum alloys, etc.) to ensure its sufficient strength and durability. It closely surrounds the outside of the crawler 4, forming a semi-closed protective layer around the crawler, which neither affects the normal movement of the crawler nor effectively protects it.

[0078] The setting of the housing mainly considers protecting the crawler from damage by external debris. During the operation of the cable conveyor, especially in outdoor or complex environments, various debris may be scattered on the ground, such as stones, branches, garbage, etc. Once these debris enter the crawler, they will cause wear, tearing or even jamming of the device. The design of the housing effectively prevents the entry of these debris, thereby extending the service life of the crawler.

[0079] In summary, the housing 10 plays a crucial role in the cable conveyor. It not only protects the crawler from damage by external debris but also improves the reliability and safety of the equipment. Therefore, when designing and manufacturing a cable conveyor, full attention should be paid to the design and material selection of the housing.

[0080] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the guiding assembly 2 includes cross bars and guiding wheels symmetrically arranged up and down. The guiding wheels are sleeved on the cross bars and fixedly arranged on the side brackets 103.

[0081] The guiding assembly, mainly composed of a cross bar and a guiding wheel, is symmetrically arranged up and down, ensuring the stability and balance of the assembly. The guiding assembly arranged up and down plays a guiding role for the cable, and evenly disperses the force, improving the durability of the entire assembly.

[0082] As the supporting structure of the guiding assembly 2, the cross bar is usually made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant metal materials such as stainless steel or alloy steel to ensure that the cross bar can bear sufficient weight and pressure while maintaining the stability of its shape and size.

[0083] The guiding wheel is the key moving part in the guiding assembly 2. It is sleeved on the cross bar and can roll freely on the cross bar. The guiding wheel is usually made of wear-resistant and durable rubber or plastic to ensure that it can reduce friction and wear during the rolling process while maintaining good guiding performance. In the guiding assembly 2, the guiding wheel is fixedly arranged on the side bracket 103, and the side bracket 103 serves as the supporting and fixing structure of the guiding assembly 2.

[0084] Generally speaking, the guiding assembly 2 realizes a stable and reliable guiding function through the symmetrical arrangement of the cross bar and the guiding wheel up and down, and the fixed installation of the guiding wheel on the side bracket 103. This guiding assembly is used to guide and support the movement and conveying of the cable, ensuring the normal operation and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0085] Preferably, it further includes a limit switch and a pressure sensor. The limit switch is arranged at the end of the horizontal slide table stroke, and the limit switch is electrically connected to the PLC circuit board;

[0086] The pressure sensor is arranged at the force application point inside the crawler 4. The force application point is near the crawler 4 where the crawler 4 contacts the cable inside, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the PLC circuit board.

[0087] The limit switch is ingeniously set at the end of the horizontal slide's travel. This position selection is crucial. It ensures that when the L-shaped mounting plate structure of the clamping motor moves to the preset limit position, the limit switch can accurately detect this state. When the L-shaped mounting plate touches its trigger point, the contacts inside the switch change, thus outputting an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the PLC circuit board as a position feedback signal.

[0088] The output terminal of the limit switch is electrically connected to the input terminal of the PLC circuit board. By receiving this signal, the PLC can determine whether the L-shaped mounting plate has reached the preset position and accordingly control the clamping motor to stop to prevent equipment damage or exceeding the working range.

[0089] The main function of the limit switch is to provide position feedback to ensure that the clamping mechanism does not exceed the predetermined stroke range during movement. This not only protects the equipment from damage but also ensures the accuracy and safety of the work.

[0090] The pressure sensor is set at the stress points on the inner side of the crawler 4. These stress points are usually the areas where the inner side of the crawler 4 is in direct contact with the cable. This setting method ensures that the pressure sensor can accurately detect the pressure exerted by the clamping mechanism on the wire. When an external pressure acts on the sensor, it converts this pressure signal into an electrical signal for output. This electrical signal is proportional to the magnitude of the pressure and can thus be used to represent the pressure value of the clamping mechanism on the wire. The output terminal of the pressure sensor is also electrically connected to the input terminal of the PLC circuit board. By receiving this pressure signal, the PLC can monitor in real time the pressure magnitude of the clamping mechanism on the wire and control it according to the preset pressure range.

[0091] The main function of the pressure sensor is to provide pressure feedback to ensure that the pressure of the clamping mechanism on the wire is appropriate. Excessive pressure may cause wire damage, while too little pressure may not guarantee stable wire transmission. By monitoring and adjusting the pressure value in real time, it can be ensured that the clamping mechanism neither damages the wire nor fails to guarantee stable wire transmission.

[0092] In summary, the limit switch and the pressure sensor play a crucial role in the design of the cable conveyor. By providing position and pressure feedback signals, they ensure the precise control of the clamping mechanism and the stable transmission of the wire. This setting method not only improves the reliability and accuracy of the equipment but also reduces the risk of damage and failure.

[0093] Preferably, a grounding post is also provided on the housing, and the grounding post is used to connect a grounding wire clip for grounding.

[0094] The grounding post is set on the housing of the controller. The grounding post can be conveniently connected to the grounding wire clamp. The grounding post is usually made of metal material and has good electrical conductivity to ensure the reliability and safety of the grounding connection.

[0095] The grounding post is set as a structure with a slot to connect to the grounding wire clamp more quickly and ensure the firmness and stability of the connection.

[0096] The main function of the grounding post is to provide a reliable grounding connection point. During the operation of the device, grounding is a crucial safety measure. It can prevent electric shock to personnel or damage to the device when the device leaks electricity or has a short circuit. By connecting the grounding wire clamp to the grounding post, the ground wire of the device can be connected to the earth to form a complete grounding loop. In this way, when the device leaks electricity or has a short circuit, the current can flow into the earth through the grounding loop, thus avoiding harm to personnel and the device.

[0097] The grounding wire clamp is designed with a connection structure that matches the grounding post. During the connection process, one end of the grounding wire clamp will tightly hold the grounding wire, and the other end will be connected to the grounding post. This connection method is both simple and reliable, and can ensure the firmness and stability of the grounding connection.

[0098] And an emergency stop button is set in this device, which can stop the device immediately when there is a problem with the equipment, increasing the safety performance of this device.

[0099] In summary, the grounding post on the housing is an important safety design, which provides a reliable connection point for the grounding of the equipment and ensures the safety of the electrical equipment in case of leakage or short circuit. Through reasonable design and connection, we can ensure that the function of the grounding post is fully exerted, providing strong protection for the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0100] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, weight reduction holes are opened on the base 101.

[0101] The weight reduction holes opened on the base 101 are an important design element. Their shapes and sizes are customized according to actual needs. The design of the weight reduction holes not only helps to reduce the overall weight of the part, but also can improve the mechanical properties and processing properties of the part to a certain extent. Since there are three motors in this device and the weight is relatively large, lightweight design is considered. Without affecting the use of this device, the weight is reduced as much as possible to increase its portability.

[0102] By opening the weight reduction holes, the weight can be effectively reduced without affecting the strength and rigidity of the base, thereby reducing the weight and cost of the overall equipment. A reasonable layout of the weight reduction holes can disperse stress and improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the base.

[0103] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the crawler belt 4 includes a plurality of interconnected links, and wear-resistant rubber is provided on the links.

[0104] The crawler belt is composed of a plurality of interconnected links, and these links are connected in series by a specific connection method (such as a pin shaft, etc.) to form a continuous annular structure.

[0105] Wear-resistant rubber is provided on the links. This rubber material has excellent wear resistance and tear resistance, can effectively extend the service life of the crawler belt, and the rubber crawler belt will generate sufficient friction during the process of clamping the cable. This clamping method not only helps to maintain the stability of the cable, but also prevents the cable from slipping or being damaged during the conveying process. In addition, the wear-resistant rubber layer also has a certain elasticity, which can absorb and disperse the impact and vibration generated during the conveying process, and further protect the cable.

[0106] In summary, the crawler belt of the cable conveyor is composed of a plurality of interconnected links, and a wear-resistant rubber layer is provided on the links. This design not only improves the wear resistance and tear resistance of the crawler belt, but also ensures the stability and safety of the cable during the conveying process. By continuously optimizing the crawler belt structure and materials, the performance and efficiency of the cable conveyor can be further improved.

[0107] An operation method of a cable conveyor comprises the following steps:

[0108] Step 1, place the cable; pass the cable through the guiding assembly 2 and place it inside the crawler belt 4 of the cable conveyor;

[0109] Step 2, clamp the cable; start the clamping motor through the controller 9 to make one side of the crawler belt 4 clamp the cable inward along the horizontal slide, and then turn off the clamping motor;

[0110] Step 3, convey the cable; start the driving motor 3 through the controller 9, and the driving motor 3 drives the crawler belt 4 to clamp and convey the cable. After the conveying is completed, start the clamping motor to loosen the cable in the reverse direction.

[0111] The following is a detailed expansion of the operation method of the cable conveyor:

[0112] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the operation method of this device is time-saving and labor-saving and is used for the conveying of power cables, which is mainly carried out in three steps:

[0113] Step 1: Place the cable

[0114] First, ensure that the power supply of the cable conveyor is connected and it is in the standby state.

[0115] Thread the cable through the guiding assembly 2 to ensure that the cable can be correctly placed inside the crawler 4. Place the cable inside the crawler 4, ensuring that the cable is straight and will not be twisted or knotted during transportation. During the cable transportation process, the cable is guided by the guiding assembly, placed inside the crawler, supported by brackets at the bottom, and conveyed by being clamped by the crawler. The cable end extends more than 1.5 meters beyond the cable conveyor;

[0116] Step 2: Clamp the cable

[0117] Start the clamping motor. Start the clamping motor through the controller 9 to ensure that the cable can be firmly clamped during transportation. The clamping motor causes one side of the crawler 4 to clamp the cable inward along the horizontal slide, which can ensure that the cable will not shift due to vibration or movement during transportation. Once the cable is firmly clamped, the clamping motor can be turned off to prepare for the next transportation operation;

[0118] Step 3: Convey the cable

[0119] Start the drive motor: Start the drive motor 3 through the controller 9, which is the main power source for conveying the cable. The drive motor 3 drives the crawler 4 to clamp and convey the cable. During this process, the cable will move along the guidance of the guiding assembly. When the cable is conveyed to the specified position, the conveying process ends.

[0120] Release the cable: Start the reverse operation of the clamping motor to make the crawler 4 release the cable. This can safely release the cable and complete the conveying task.

[0121] When the conveyed cable is too heavy or too long, single - machine use cannot meet the construction requirements. In this case, multiple cable conveyors need to be used in series.
