DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a cable insulation coating device provided by one embodiment of the present invention includes a device base 1 and a side frame 13 fixed thereon, and further includes: The lower material barrel 9 and the support barrel 21 are fixed on the side frame 13 respectively. The upper end of the lower material barrel 9 is fixed with the storage bin 10, and the lower end of the lower material barrel 9 is fixed with the discharge pipe 40. The lower end of the discharge pipe 40 is fixedly connected to the support barrel 21. The cladding tube 23 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the support tube 21. A driving assembly 1 for driving the cladding tube 23 to rotate is also installed on the discharge tube 9. An annular groove 37 is provided on the outer wall of the cladding tube 23 corresponding to the connection between the discharge tube 40 and the support tube 21. An annular heating network 35 fixedly connected to the support tube 21 is provided in the annular groove 37. A plurality of extrusion holes 38 communicating with the annular groove 37 are also evenly distributed circumferentially on the cladding tube 23. An extrusion shaft 25 is provided in the middle of the inner side of the discharge barrel 9. A spiral blade 28 is fixed to the extrusion shaft 25 inside the discharge barrel 9. The upper end of the extrusion shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the top of the storage bin 10. The top of the storage bin 10 is also equipped with a second drive assembly for driving the extrusion shaft 25 to rotate. A heating rod 36 is further provided at the lower end of the extrusion shaft 25. The lower end of the heating rod 36 is fixedly connected to the annular heating network 35. A preheating assembly is also provided on the lower part of the discharge barrel 9 and the discharge pipe 40. A feed centering component is installed on the feed side of the cladding tube 23, and is used to centrally support the cable core 2 input into the cladding tube 23; A discharge cooling assembly is installed on the discharge side of the coating tube 23, and the discharge cooling assembly is used to water-cool the cable core 2 coated with the insulation layer.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present invention, a storage bin 10 is used to store plastic particles (such as cross-linked polyethylene). The cable core 2 to be coated with an insulation layer passes through the coating tube 23 via a traction and take-up device (not shown, conventional technology can be used). The annular heating network 35, heating rod 36, and pre-heating assembly are activated. As the drive assembly 2 drives the extrusion shaft 25 to rotate, the spiral blade 28 can squeeze and transport the plastic particles downward. After passing through the annular heating network 35, heating rod 36, and pre-heating assembly, the plastic particles are evenly distributed through the annular heating network 35 and enter the extrusion hole 38. They are discharged through the extrusion hole 38 and coated on the surface of the cable core 2. In addition, the drive assembly 1 can drive the coating tube 23 to rotate according to actual processing needs, so that the molten insulation material discharged from the extrusion hole 38 is evenly coated on the surface of the cable core 2, improving the molding quality. The feed centering assembly is used to centrally support the cable core 2 input into the coating tube 23, and the discharge cooling assembly is used to water-cool the cable core 2 coated with the insulation layer, improving the accuracy of the insulation coating and causing the insulation layer to quickly cool and solidify, forming a stable insulation structure.

[0023] In summary, the present invention significantly improves the quality and production efficiency of the insulation layer coating by controlling the uniform distribution of the molten plastic and the central support of the cable core 2, combined with the rotary coating and water cooling shaping technology.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the annular heating net 35 and the annular groove 37 are both arc-shaped concave structures in the middle, which increase the heating area of the annular heating net 35. The annular heating net 35 can also allow the molten insulating material to pass through evenly. The molten insulating material can be discharged through the extrusion hole 38 through the annular groove 37, and the rotation of the covering tube 23 will not affect the annular heating net 35.

[0025] The heating rod 36 is coaxially arranged with the discharge pipe 40 and the extrusion shaft 25 , and the upper end of the heating rod 36 extends into the inner side of the extrusion shaft 25 , and the extrusion shaft 25 and the heating rod 36 are rotatably connected to increase the effective heating length of the heating rod 36 .

[0026] The preheating assembly includes a heating cone 15 and a heating column 39. The lower portion of the discharge barrel 9 is conical in structure. The heating cone 15 is fixed to the outer side of the lower portion of the discharge barrel 9, and the heating column 39 is fixed to the outer side of the discharge pipe 40. The heating cone 15 and the heating column 39 provide effective preheating, and then the heating rod 36 and the annular heating mesh 35 provide sufficient melting. Preferably, the outer side of the heating cone 15 and the heating column 39 is also provided with a heat insulation layer (not shown) to fully utilize the heat generated by the heating cone 15 and the heating column 39.

[0027] For example, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) typically melts at a temperature between 220°C and 260°C. The preheating assembly (heating cone 15 and heating column 39) can be controlled at 150°C to 200°C to prevent premature melting of the plastic pellets, which could cause blockage. The annular heating screen 35 and heating rod 36 are set at 200°C to 300°C to ensure the molten plastic has the fluidity required for extrusion.

[0028] The length of the covering tube 23 is greater than that of the supporting tube 21, and the supporting tube 21 is arranged perpendicular to the discharge tube 40. The driving component 1 includes a motor 16, a motor frame 7, a gear 14 and a gear 22. The feeding side of the covering tube 23 is fixed with a gear 22, the discharge tube 9 is fixed with a motor frame 7, the motor 16 is fixed on the motor frame 7, and the output end of the motor 16 is fixed with a gear 14 meshing with the gear 22.

[0029] The second driving component includes a second motor 12 fixed to the top of the storage bin 10 and connected to the extrusion shaft 25. The top of the storage bin 10 is also provided with a feeding port 11, through which plastic can be easily replenished.

[0030] The connection between the discharge barrel 9 and the storage bin 10 is located on the extrusion shaft 25 and an auxiliary support ring 27 is rotatably installed. A plurality of auxiliary support rods 26 are evenly distributed and fixed on the outer circumference of the auxiliary support ring 27. The outer ends of the auxiliary support rods 26 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge barrel 9 or the storage bin 10, which serves to stably support the extrusion shaft 25, so that the extrusion feeding is stable and reliable.

[0031] Two side frames 13 can be provided, so that the side frames 13 on the front and rear sides of the discharge cylinder 9 and the support cylinder 21 can play a role of stable support, and the side frames 13 can be in an F shape.

[0032] like Figure 1-6As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feed centering component includes a plurality of feed centering cavities 31 uniformly distributed circumferentially on the feed side of the cladding tube 23, a support plate 33 is slidingly provided in the feed centering cavity 31, a plurality of support balls 32 are installed on the inner side of the support plate 33, a cylinder 34 is fixed to the outer side of the support plate 33, and the other end of the cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the feed centering cavity 31, and an air pump 8 is also fixed on the discharge barrel 9, and the outlet of the air pump 8 is connected to an air pipe 5, and the other end of the air pipe 5 is connected to the annular disk 41 rotatably connected to the end of the cladding tube 23, and an air cavity 42 is opened at the end of the cladding tube 23 corresponding to the annular disk 41, the air pipe 5 is connected to the air cavity 42, and the cylinder 34 is also connected to the air cavity 42 through the air pipe 243. By setting the annular disk 41, the rotation of the covering tube 23 is not affected, and after the air pump 8 is pressurized, the gas can act on the cylinder 1 34 through the air pipe 1 5, the air cavity 42, and the air pipe 2 43, thereby adjusting and controlling the abutment force between the support ball 32 and the cable core 2, thereby achieving a stable and adjustable feeding centering effect.

[0033] Preferably, a support ring 3 is also fixed to the drive assembly 1 (specifically, fixed to the motor 1 6 , but may also be fixed to other components). The support ring 3 is further connected and fixed to the annular disk 41 via a plurality of support columns 4 distributed circumferentially. The support ring 3 and support columns 4 cooperate to further stably support the annular disk 41, thereby improving stability. Furthermore, the air pipe 1 5 is also fixedly connected to the support ring 3 to improve stability.

[0034] Preferably, the support plate 33 is further provided with an auxiliary heating layer (not shown) on the side near the support balls 32 to preheat the cable core 2. This allows the insulating material to better adhere to the surface of the cable core 2 during coating, enhancing adhesion between the two and reducing defects such as gaps and bubbles caused by loose bonding, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the cable while reducing internal stress. Generally speaking, for common cross-linked polyethylene insulated cables, the preheating temperature of the cable core 2 is usually controlled at 70-100°C.

[0035] Preferably, an elastic sealing ring 54 that is in close contact with the surface of the cable core 2 is installed on the inner side of the coating tube 23 between the feed center cavity 31 and the extrusion hole 38. The elastic sealing ring 54 serves as a separator and allows the insulating material to be reliably coated on the surface of the cable core 2.

[0036] The discharging cooling assembly includes a cooling chamber 29 opened on the discharging side of the cladding tube 23, and a spiral plate 30 is fixed in the cooling chamber 29. A water inlet ring 19 and a water outlet ring 24 are rotatably installed on the outer side of the cladding tube 23. A plurality of fixing rods 20 are circumferentially distributed and fixed on the outer sides of the water inlet ring 19 and the water outlet ring 24. One end of the fixing rod 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the support tube 21. A plurality of water outlet holes 44 are circumferentially distributed on the side wall of the cladding tube 23 corresponding to one end of the cooling chamber 29. The inner cavity of the water outlet ring 24 is connected to one end of the cooling chamber 29 through the water outlet holes 44. A plurality of water inlet holes 45 are circumferentially distributed on the side wall of the cladding tube 23 corresponding to the other end of the cooling chamber 29. The inner cavity of the water inlet ring 19 is connected to the other end of the cooling chamber 29 through the water inlet holes 45. The water inlet ring 19 and the water outlet ring 24 are also connected to the cooling water inlet pipe 17 and the cooling water outlet pipe 16 respectively. The preparation of cooling water can be carried out by using existing public technologies. Through the arrangement of the water inlet ring 19 and the water outlet ring 24, cooling water can be input and output from the cooling chamber 29 without being affected by the rotation of the cladding tube 23, and the spiral plate 30 arranged in the cooling chamber 29 can make the cooling water flow fully, thereby improving the cooling and shaping effect.

[0037] like Figure 1 and 7 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cable insulation layer coating equipment also includes a centering support assembly 18 for centering the cable after the insulation layer is coated, and the centering support assembly 18 includes a centering ring 46 coaxial with the coating tube 23, and a side frame 2 51 is fixed to the outer side of the centering ring 46, and the lower end of the side frame 2 51 is fixed to the equipment base 1, and a plurality of cylinders 2 48 are fixed circumferentially on the centering ring 46, and a wheel frame 49 is fixed to the telescopic end of the cylinder 2 48, and a centering wheel 50 with an arc-shaped concave center is rotatably installed on the wheel frame 49, and an air pump 2 53 is also installed on the equipment base 1, and the outlet of the air pump 2 53 is connected to the ring-shaped air pipe 3 47 through the air pipe 4 52, and the cylinder 2 48 is also connected to the air pipe 3 47. By controlling the air pump 2 53, multiple centering rings 46 can be extended and retracted synchronously, and the centering wheel 50 can be used to reliably support the cable, so that the cable can be output in a centered manner after being coated with the insulation layer. Combined with the setting of the feed centering component, the coaxiality of the cable core 2 and the insulation layer can be made higher, thereby improving the processing quality.

[0038] Comparative experiments showed that under the same production conditions (cable core 2 diameter 10mm, polyethylene material), the present invention's coating speed increased by 15% and thickness deviation decreased by 10%. In terms of cooling efficiency, the present invention's design of spiral plate 30 and cooling chamber 29 shortened curing time by 30%.

[0039] The above embodiment of the present invention provides a cable insulation coating device, the working principle of which is as follows: Plastic particles (such as cross-linked polyethylene) are stored in a storage silo 10 and replenished through a feeding port 11 .

[0040] The preheating assembly consisting of the heating cone 15 , the heating column 39 , the annular heating net 35 and the heating rod 36 is started to preliminarily heat the plastic particles in the discharge barrel 9 .

[0041] Subsequently, the second drive assembly drives the extrusion shaft 25 to rotate, and the spiral blades 28 extrude and transport the plastic particles downward, so that they pass through the preheating assembly and the heating rod 36 and are further melted.

[0042] The molten plastic material is evenly distributed through the annular heating mesh 35 and enters the extrusion hole 38 , and is then extruded onto the surface of the cable core 2 inside the covering tube 23 .

[0043] The driving component 1 drives the coating tube 23 to rotate according to actual needs, so that the molten plastic is evenly coated on the cable core 2, thereby improving the molding quality.

[0044] The feed centering assembly ensures that the cable core 2 input into the coating tube 23 is in the center position, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the coating. Cylinder 1 34 achieves this goal by adjusting the abutment force between the support ball 32 and the cable core 2.

[0045] The coated cable is then cooled and shaped by a cooling assembly. The spiral plate 30 provided in the cooling chamber 29 allows the cooling water to flow fully, accelerating the cooling process and ensuring that the insulation layer quickly solidifies to form a stable structure.

[0046] The centering support assembly 18 is used to support and center the cable covered with the insulation layer to ensure high coaxiality and improve the quality of the finished product.

[0047] Throughout the entire process, various components work together, from melting, uniform distribution, coating to final cooling and shaping of plastic particles, to achieve efficient and high-quality cable insulation coating.

[0048] The control of each component can be carried out using a PLC controller disclosed in the prior art. The model and circuit connection of each component are not specifically limited and can be flexibly set in actual application.

[0049] The circuits, electronic components and modules involved are all existing technologies and can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. Needless to say, the content protected by the present invention does not involve improvements to software and methods.
