Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cable packaging, and in particular to an automatic cable winding and braiding machine. Background Art

[0002] The "staggered" arrangement and braiding of multiple cables has been proven to be a key safeguard for improving flexibility, distributing stress, improving heat dissipation, and extending lifespan. However, mainstream braiding equipment currently on the market has a fundamental flaw: its structure and operating method limit it to single / centralized braiding of single or, at most, two cables, and is completely incapable of "staggered" braiding of bundles of three or more cables. Therefore, providing an automatic cable winding and braiding machine that can braid and interweave three or more cables is a problem that needs to be solved urgently by the present invention. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the aforementioned technical issues, the present invention aims to overcome the fundamental flaw of mainstream braiding equipment currently on the market: their structure and operating mode limit them to single / centralized braiding of single or, at most, two strands of cable, and are completely incapable of "interlaced" braiding of bundles of three or more strands. The present invention thus provides an automatic cable winding and braiding machine capable of braiding and interlacing three or more strands of cable.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides an automatic cable winding and braiding machine, which includes: a frame, a rotating wheel, a driving mechanism, a cable reel, a binding guide mechanism and a conveying mechanism. The frame is provided with a plurality of rotating wheels that can be synchronously rotated by the driving mechanism, and a plurality of one-to-one corresponding limiting grooves are provided on the circumference of each rotating wheel. A limiting column adapted to the limiting groove is coaxially provided at the bottom of the cable reel. A limiting ring rail adapted to each rotating wheel is also provided on the frame. A binding guide mechanism for binding and shaping the braided cables and a conveying mechanism for continuously conveying the cables are also provided above the frame.

[0005] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes: a rotating motor and a driving gear, and a transmission gear is coaxially arranged on one side of each rotating wheel. The driving gear can be engaged with each transmission gear and is rotatably arranged on the frame through the rotating motor.

[0006] Preferably, a snap ring groove is coaxially recessed on the circumference of each limiting column, and a snap ring block adapted to each snap ring groove is provided on the frame.

[0007] Preferably, a guide ring block is further provided at the bottom end of the limiting column, and a guide ring groove that matches the guide ring block is also provided on the frame along the extending direction of the limiting ring rail.

[0008] Preferably, the binding guide mechanism includes: a moving block and an elastic ring. The frame is provided with a through hole above the cable reel. Several moving blocks that can move back and forth toward their axis are arranged around the through hole. The elastic ring is arranged on the outside of each moving block.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of limiting sliding grooves are arranged around the periphery of the perforation, and each moving block is provided with a limiting sliding block adapted to the limiting sliding groove.

[0010] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove adapted to the elastic ring is recessed on the outer side of each moving block.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting frame adapted to the cable is provided at the inner end of each moving block.

[0012] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is a gap-adjustable extrusion mechanism.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows: each cable reel of the present application is set in the corresponding limit groove through the limit column, and the cable to be braided is wrapped around the corresponding cable reel, and then one end of the cable on each cable reel is pulled out and screwed together to be bound and shaped on the binding guide mechanism and the conveying mechanism, and then the conveying mechanism and the driving mechanism are started. The driving mechanism will drive each rotating wheel to rotate. When two adjacent limit grooves are connected, the limit groove on one side will, under the action of centrifugal force, throw the cable reel inside it into the limit groove on the other side and continue to move along the limit ring rail, thereby realizing automatic braiding of multiple cables. Then the conveying mechanism conveys the braided cable to the 360-degree annular packaging mechanism, which wraps it and finally winds it up by the winding mechanism; the 360-degree annular packaging mechanism is the existing technology; the binding guide mechanism instantly shapes the braided cable bundle → the conveying mechanism synchronously pulls → directly enters the 360° annular packaging link → efficiency is improved: eliminating the risk of secondary damage to the cable in traditional segmented operations.

[0014] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the subsequent specific implementation methods; and the parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the existing technology or can be implemented by using the existing technology.

[0020] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 : A cable automatic winding and braiding machine, which includes: a frame 1, a rotating wheel 2, a driving mechanism 3, a cable reel 4, a binding guide mechanism 5 and a conveying mechanism. The frame 1 is provided with a plurality of rotating wheels 2 that can be synchronously rotated by the driving mechanism 3. Each rotating wheel 2 is provided with a plurality of one-to-one corresponding limiting grooves 201 on the circumference. A limiting column 401 that is adapted to the limiting groove 201 is coaxially provided at the bottom of the cable reel 4. A limiting ring rail 101 that is adapted to each rotating wheel 2 is also provided on the frame 1. A binding guide mechanism 5 for binding and shaping the braided cables is also provided above the frame 1, as well as a conveying mechanism for continuously conveying the cables.

[0022] In the present application, each cable drum 4 is set in the corresponding limiting groove 201 through the limiting column 401. The cable to be braided is wrapped around the corresponding cable drum 4, and then one end of the cable on each cable drum 4 is pulled out and screwed together to be tied and shaped on the binding guide mechanism 5 and the conveying mechanism. Then the conveying mechanism and the driving mechanism 3 are started. The driving mechanism 3 will drive each rotating wheel 2 to rotate. When two adjacent limiting grooves 201 are connected, the limiting groove 201 on one side will, under the action of centrifugal force, throw the cable drum 4 inside it into the limiting groove 201 on the other side and continue to move along the limiting ring rail 101, thereby realizing automatic braiding of multiple cables. Then the conveying mechanism conveys the braided cable to the 360-degree annular packaging mechanism, which wraps it and finally winds it up by the winding mechanism. The 360-degree annular packaging mechanism is a prior art. The binding guide mechanism 5 instantly shapes the braided cable bundle → the conveying mechanism synchronously pulls → directly enters the 360-degree annular packaging link → Improved efficiency: Eliminate the risk of secondary cable damage in traditional segmented operations.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 The driving mechanism 3 includes a rotating motor 301 and a driving gear 302. A transmission gear 202 is coaxially arranged on one side of each rotating wheel 2. The driving gear 302 can engage with each transmission gear 202 and is rotatably arranged on the frame 1 through the rotating motor 301.

[0024] The present application starts the rotating motor 301 to drive the driving gear 302 to rotate, thereby driving each rotating wheel 2 to rotate through the transmission gear 202, and then driving each cable reel 4 to move along the extension direction of the limiting ring rail 101. When two adjacent limiting grooves 201 come into contact, the cable reel 4 will be thrown from one limiting groove 201 to another limiting groove 201 under the action of centrifugal force, thereby continuing to move along the extension direction of the limiting ring rail 101 to achieve the weaving of multiple bundles of cables.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 : A snap ring groove 402 is coaxially recessed on the circumference of each limiting column 401, and a snap ring block 102 adapted to each snap ring groove 402 is provided on the frame 1.

[0026] The clamping ring groove 402 and the clamping ring block 102 of the present application can be assembled together to prevent the cable reel 4 from being separated from the limiting ring rail 101 during high-speed rotation.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 : A guide ring block 403 is further provided at the bottom end of the limiting column 401, and a guide ring groove that matches the guide ring block 403 is also provided on the frame 1 along the extension direction of the limiting ring rail 101.

[0028] The guide ring block 403 of the present application is assembled with the guide ring groove to ensure that the cable reel 4 can be accurately sent into the limiting groove 201 under the action of centrifugal force, and can also prevent the cable reel 4 from escaping from the limiting ring rail 101 during high-speed rotation.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 : The binding guide mechanism 5 includes: a moving block 501 and an elastic ring 502. The frame 1 is provided with a through hole 103 above the cable reel 4. Several moving blocks 501 that can move back and forth toward their axis are arranged around the through hole 103. The elastic ring 502 is sleeved on the outside of each moving block 501.

[0030] Through this design, the present application enables the moving block 501 to adaptively clamp the braided cables according to the number of cables under the action of the elastic ring 502 .

[0031] Reference Figure 6 : A plurality of limiting grooves 104 are arranged around the periphery of the through hole 103, and a limiting slider 50101 adapted to the limiting groove 104 is respectively provided on each moving block 501.

[0032] In the present application, each moving block 501 can be assembled in the limiting sliding groove 104 so as to move back and forth toward the axial direction of the through hole 103 through the limiting sliding block 50101 to ensure stable movement without deviation.

[0033] Reference Figure 6 : Each moving block 501 is recessed on the outside with an arc groove 50102 that matches the elastic ring 502.

[0034] The elastic ring 502 of the present application is sleeved in the arc groove 50102 to ensure that each moving block 501 can be stably driven to move back and forth toward the axis of the through hole 103 without separation.

[0035] Reference Figure 6 : The inner end of each moving block 501 is respectively provided with a limit frame 50103 adapted to the cable.

[0036] The moving block 501 of the present application can fix the cable through the limit frame 50103. In the absence of external force, the cable will not fall off and can be moved under the action of the conveying mechanism.

[0037] The conveying mechanism is a gap-adjustable extrusion mechanism.

[0038] The present application specifically consists of two conveying wheels with adjustable gaps and capable of synchronous rotation. The gap between the conveying wheels is automatically adjusted according to the number of cables, and then the wheels are rotated synchronously to achieve the transportation of the cables. This structure is a prior art and is not shown in the figure.

[0039] When the device provided by the present invention is in use, each cable drum 4 is set in the corresponding limiting groove 201 through the limiting column 401, and the cable to be woven is wrapped around the corresponding cable drum 4, and then the cable on each cable drum 4 is pulled out at one end and screwed together to be bound and fixed on the binding guide mechanism 5 and the conveying mechanism, and then the conveying mechanism and the driving mechanism 3 are started. The driving mechanism 3 will drive each rotating wheel 2 to rotate. When two adjacent limiting grooves 201 are connected, the limiting groove 201 on one side will pull the cable drum inside under the action of centrifugal force. 4 is thrown out to the limiting groove 201 on the other side and continues to move along the limiting ring rail 101, thereby realizing automatic braiding of multiple cables. Then the conveying mechanism conveys the braided cables to the 360-degree annular packaging mechanism, which wraps them and finally winds them up by the winding mechanism. The 360-degree annular packaging mechanism is an existing technology. The binding guide mechanism 5 instantly shapes the braided cable bundle → the conveying mechanism synchronously pulls → directly enters the 360-degree annular packaging link → efficiency improvement: eliminating the risk of secondary cable damage in traditional segmented operations.

However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0042] In addition, the various embodiments of the present invention may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present invention, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present invention.
