[0002] A stranding machine is a mechanical device used for stranding multiple metal wires or cables. Through rotation and tension control, it tightly winds single-strand or multi-strand metal wire rods into a bundle to meet different industrial requirements. The stranding machine is widely used in the wire and cable manufacturing industry for the production of power cables, communication optical cables, and the manufacturing process of various special-purpose cables. In addition, the stranding machine is also used in the manufacturing of wire ropes and other metal products, and is widely used in heavy industrial fields such as mining, construction, and navigation. The basic structure of the stranding machine includes a wire pay-off device, a stranding mechanism, a traction device, and a wire collecting and arranging mechanism. The wire pay-off device is responsible for storing the wire rods to be stranded. The stranding mechanism realizes the uniform stranding of multiple wire rods through a gear transmission system. The traction device ensures a stable tension of the wire rods during the stranding process, and the wire collecting and arranging mechanism is responsible for collecting and neatly arranging the stranded wire rods. Although the current stranding equipment can automatically wind the wires, when a conical sleeve drum winding is completed, it is necessary for the staff to cut the wire bundle short, remove the drum, and then place a brand-new drum without a wound wire bundle on the stranding machine to continue stranding. This processing method is not convenient and does not achieve full automation.
[0003] Based on the above problems, there is an urgent need for an automatic stranding machine that can realize the replacement of the conical sleeve drum without manual operation.
