[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] The present invention provides a universal cable reel device, the working principle of which is to adjust the cable placement diameter of the drum unit through an adjustment unit, thereby adapting to the placement requirements of cables of different widths. At the same time, a drive shaft is used to drive the drum mechanism to rotate, thereby realizing the automation of cable reeling and releasing, achieving the purpose of achieving balanced consistency in cable reeling, facilitating the reeling requirements of cables of different sizes, and improving the adaptability of the cable reel.

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to examples and specific implementation methods.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a universal cable reel device comprises a base, a bracket arranged on the base, a drive shaft 3 arranged on the bracket, and a reel mechanism arranged on the drive shaft;

[0039] The reel mechanism includes a drum unit 41 and an adjusting unit 42 for mounting the drum on the driving shaft. The adjusting unit can adjust the cable placement diameter of the drum unit.

[0040] The base includes a pair of crossbars 11, and the bracket includes a pair of vertical plates 21 arranged vertically and parallel to each other. The bottoms of the vertical plates are located at the bottoms of the crossbars, the crossbars are perpendicular to the vertical plates, and the vertical plates are parallel to the drive shaft. Several reinforcing rods 5 are installed between the two vertical plates. Mounting the vertical plates 21 on the pair of crossbars 11 and placing the reinforcing rods 5 between the vertical plates enhances the stability of the entire base during use.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the cylindrical unit includes three cylindrical components evenly distributed around the drive shaft. The cylindrical components include a base plate 411, a fixed vertical plate 412 disposed on the base plate, and a movable vertical plate 413 disposed on the base plate. The movable vertical plate can move along the base plate under the action of the adjustment unit. The vertical side walls of the fixed vertical plate extend downward and form a hook portion 414, which is disposed at the edge of the base plate; the vertical side walls of the movable vertical plate also extend downward and form a hook portion, and the movable vertical plate is disposed at the edge of the base plate through the hook portion; the outer side walls of the fixed vertical plate and the movable vertical plate are provided with a support plate 415, which is disposed in close contact with the surface of the base plate. Under the drive of the adjustment unit, the movable vertical plate 413 can be moved along the base plate 411, and in combination with the fixed vertical plate 412, it can meet the requirements of different cable storage and release. The presence of the support plate 415 ensures that the movable vertical plate 413 remains stable during movement and use, preventing it from tilting.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment unit includes a fixed ring 421 provided on the driving shaft, a movable ring 422 provided on the driving shaft, a movable groove 423 provided below the base plate, a fixed block 424 provided below the base plate, a fixed shaft 425 provided on the fixed block, a movable shaft 426 provided in the movable groove, a first connecting rod 427 hinged to the fixed shaft, a second connecting rod 428 hinged to the movable shaft, and a positioning member 429 provided on the driving shaft to limit the movable ring; the other end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the mounting post provided on the side wall of the movable ring, and the other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the mounting post provided on the side wall of the fixed ring. The hook provided on the fixed vertical plate is connected to the fixed shaft, and the hook provided on the movable vertical plate is connected to the movable shaft. Under the action of the positioning member, that is, in the process of the positioning member continuously rotating, the movable ring will be pushed to move along the drive shaft. Since both ends of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are hinged, the movable vertical plate is driven to move closer to or away from the fixed vertical plate, thereby adjusting the distance between the two vertical plates, thereby meeting the needs of cables of different widths (it should be noted here that the cables in the present invention are wound layer by layer). Then the motor drives the drive shaft to drive the entire barrel assembly to rotate, thereby completing the process of winding. In order to achieve convenience when expanding the diameter, a telescopic spring can be set between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod. When the positioning member releases the restriction of the movable ring, the telescopic spring gradually expands from the compressed state, thereby pushing the movable ring to the positioning member.

[0043] like Figure 6As shown, the drive shaft is provided with a long groove 4210 and a waist groove 4211, the long groove being arranged along the direction of the drive shaft; the inner wall of the fixed ring is provided with a protrusion (not shown) that cooperates with the waist groove, and the inner wall of the movable ring is provided with a movable block (not shown) that cooperates with the long groove. The movable block is located in the movable groove and can move along the long groove. The presence of the long groove and waist groove ensures that the fixed ring is fixed and stationary, while the movable ring moves gradually along the long groove.

[0044] In a new embodiment, Figure 5 The positioning member includes a locking shaft 4291 threadedly connected to the driving shaft and a handle 4292 threadedly connected to the driving shaft. The handle drives the locking shaft to drive the movable ring to move along the driving shaft.

[0045] In a new embodiment, the drive shaft is positioned between two vertical plates and further includes a driven wheel. A driving wheel is positioned on one of the vertical plates, and a brake wheel meshes with the driven wheel. The driving wheel is provided with a manual handle. The arrangement of the driven wheel, driving wheel, and manual handle allows for manual retraction and extension of the cable even in the event of power failure or motor damage, enabling both automatic and manual adjustments.

[0046] Through the above method, the universal cable reel device provided by the present invention adjusts the cable placement diameter of the drum unit through the adjustment unit, adapts to the placement requirements of cables of different widths, and at the same time utilizes the drive shaft to drive the drum mechanism to rotate, thereby realizing the automation of cable reeling and releasing, achieving the purpose of achieving balanced consistency of cable reeling, facilitating the reeling requirements of cables of different sizes, and improving the adaptability of the cable reel.

[0047] The above is only a preferred embodiment of a universal cable reel device disclosed in the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
