[0043] The signal room, as the heart of the signaling system, mainly consists of control cabinets, distribution cabinets, microcomputer cabinets, power supply panels, and other electrical control boxes related to railway signaling equipment such as control signals, switch machines, and track circuits. The signal room contains several rows of electrical control boxes, each controlling different signaling equipment. These different signaling devices are connected using dedicated signal cables to achieve interlocking relationships and power distribution requirements. To effectively identify the signal function of different cables, each cable is clearly labeled. During the construction of the signal room, manual labor is required to lay and fix each cable according to the pre-planned path and scheme, based on the labels, and finally connect it to the designated position on the corresponding electrical control box. Typically, there are many types of cables and the paths are intricate, making manual operation inefficient. Laying and installing the signal cables for a single signal room takes a long time and has a high error rate.

[0044] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a wiring device.

[0045] Please see Figures 1-20The cabling device includes: a platform 1, a cable feeding device 2, a guiding mechanism 3, a pitch changing device 4, a pressure plate device 5, a tightening device 6, multiple cable reels 7, and a cable reel support frame 8. The guiding mechanism 3 is used to guide the cables 22 on the cable reels 7, the pitch changing device 4 is used to change the spacing between the multiple cables 22, the pressure plate device 5 is used to fix the cable fastener 49 to the cables 22, and the tightening device 6 is used to fix the cable fastener 49.

[0046] The wire feeding device 2, guiding mechanism 3, pitch changing device 4, pressure plate device 5, and tightening device 6 are arranged sequentially and at intervals on the platform 1. Specifically, the wire feeding device 2, guiding mechanism 3, pitch changing device 4, pressure plate device 5, and tightening device 6 can be arranged sequentially and at intervals along the length direction of the platform 1, or at intervals along the width direction of the platform 1, or at intervals in other directions; this application does not limit this arrangement.

[0047] For example, the wire feeding device 2 is located at the front end of the platform 1. A guide mechanism 3 is located behind the wire feeding device 2. A pitch changing device 4 is located immediately after the guide mechanism 3. The guide mechanism 3 and the pitch changing device 4 are located in the middle of the platform 1. A pressure plate device 5 is located behind the pitch changing device 4. A tightening device 6 is located immediately after the pressure plate device 5. The tightening device 6 is located at the rear end of the platform 1.

[0048] The cable reel support frame 8 is connected to the platform 1. Multiple cable reels 7 are rotatably mounted on the cable reel support frame 8. In the height direction of the cabling device, the multiple cable reels 7 are directly opposite the guide mechanism and the pitch-changing device 4. The connection between the cable reel support frame 8 and the platform 1 can be detachable. The cable reel support frame 8 can be detachably connected to the platform 1 by means of fasteners, snap-fits, etc.

[0049] For example, the platform 1 has a coil support frame 8 on both sides of the middle part; the coil support frame 8 has 5 coils 7 on the upper part, the coils 7 are located between the two coil support frames 8, the 5 coils are connected in series laterally, and the coils 7 are located directly above the guide mechanism 3 and the pitch device 4.

[0050] According to the cabling device of this application embodiment, by setting up a cable laying device 2, a guiding mechanism 3, a pitch changing device 4, a pressure plate device 5, and a tightening device 6, the cable 22 on the cable reel 7 can be guided by the guiding mechanism 3. When different cable laying spacings are required, the pitch changing device 4 can change the spacing between multiple cables 22. Then, the pressure plate device 5 can fix the cable fastener 49 to the cable fastener that has been installed in the previous step, and finally, the tightening device 6 can fix the cable fastener 49. Thus, the cabling device can handle the variety and complex paths of the cables 22 in the signal room, thereby improving the cable laying efficiency and cabling efficiency. At the same time, the cabling device can also realize automated cable laying and fastening, which can reduce manual intervention, thereby reducing costs and error rates.

[0051] Please continue reading. Figures 1-9 In some embodiments, the cable feeding device 2 may include a fixed frame 9, a front rotating shaft 10, a rear rotating shaft 11, and a first drive assembly. The fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to the platform 1. The front rotating shaft 10 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 9, and the rear rotating shaft 11 is rotatably mounted on the side of the front rotating shaft 10 near the guide mechanism 3. The first drive assembly is mounted on the fixed frame 9 and is used to drive the front rotating shaft 10 and the rear rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The front rotating shaft 10 has multiple first arc-shaped grooves, and the rear rotating shaft 11 has multiple second arc-shaped grooves. The first and second arc-shaped grooves correspond one-to-one, and the cable 22 is used to pass through the first and second arc-shaped grooves. Thus, by providing the first and second arc-shaped grooves that cooperate with the cable 22, the cable 22 can be guided under the drive of the first drive assembly.

[0052] For example, a front rotating shaft 10 and a rear rotating shaft 11 are provided in the middle of the vertical direction of the fixing frame 9. The front rotating shaft 10 is located on the front side of the fixing frame 9, and the rear rotating shaft 11 is located on the rear side of the fixing frame 9. Cables 22 are provided on the front rotating shaft 10 and the rear rotating shaft 11. Five cables 22 are arranged in parallel and are respectively provided on the five first arc-shaped grooves and the five second arc-shaped grooves of the rotating shaft. The cables 22 come from the cable reel 7. Bearings 12 are provided at both ends of the front rotating shaft 10 and the rear rotating shaft 11. The bearings 12 are placed in the semi-circular holes of the fixing frame 9. The fixing frame 9 has a bearing pressure plate 18 on the outside of its bearing hole. The bearing pressure plate 18 is connected to the fixing frame 9 by bolts. Each of the two has a semi-circular hole that can clamp and fix the bearing 12 together.

[0053] Please continue reading. Figures 1-9 In some embodiments, the cable feeding device 2 further includes multiple clamping devices 23. In the height direction of the fixing frame 9, the multiple clamping devices 23 are disposed on the side of the fixing frame 9 away from the front rotating shaft 10, with portions of the multiple clamping devices 23 facing the front rotating shaft 10 and the remainder facing the rear rotating shaft 11. The clamping devices 23 are used to abut against the cable 22. This prevents the cable 22 from falling off during the guiding process, and the placement of the multiple clamping devices 23 at different positions allows for a better clamping effect.

[0054] For example, clamping devices 23-27 are provided above the cable 22, wherein clamping devices 23 and 24 are located directly above the front pivot 10, and clamping devices 25-27 are located directly above the rear pivot 11, with clamping devices 23-27 arranged in a staggered manner.

[0055] Please continue reading. Figures 1-9In some embodiments, the clamping device 23 includes a clamping drive cylinder 29, a wire clamping support 30, a U-shaped fixing plate 31, and a wire clamping wheel 32. The clamping drive cylinder 29 is disposed on the side of the wire clamping support 30 away from the front rotating shaft 10. The U-shaped fixing plate 31 is slidably disposed on the wire clamping support 30 and connected to the telescopic rod of the clamping drive cylinder 29. The wire clamping wheel 32 is disposed on the U-shaped fixing plate 31 and is used to contact the cable 22. Thus, the clamping action of the cable 22 can be realized through the cooperation between the clamping drive cylinder 29 and the wire clamping wheel 32, which has a high degree of automation and is conducive to improving the intelligence level of the wiring device.

[0056] For example, a wire pressing support 30 is provided below the pressing drive cylinder; a U-shaped fixing plate 31 is provided in the middle of the wire pressing support 30, and the U-shaped fixing plate 31 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the pressing drive cylinder 29; a wire pressing wheel 32 is provided in the middle of the U-shaped fixing plate 31, and the wire pressing wheel 32 contacts the cable 22.

[0057] Please continue reading. Figures 1-11 In some embodiments, the wire feeding device 2 further includes an indexing and centering shaft 20, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 9. The indexing and centering shaft 20 has multiple guide grooves, and the wire pressing support 30 has guide notches that cooperate with the guide grooves. The first drive assembly includes a first gear 15, a second gear 13, a third gear 14, and a drive member. The first gear 15 is connected to the drive member and to the indexing and centering shaft 20. The second gear 13 is connected to the front rotating shaft 10 and meshes with the first gear 15. The third gear 14 is connected to the rear rotating shaft 11 and meshes with the first gear 15. Thus, when the extension direction of the guide grooves is different, the position of the pressing device 23-27 can be changed by the cooperation between the guide grooves and the guide notches.

[0058] For example, a second gear 13 and a third gear 14 are provided at one end of the front shaft 10 and the rear shaft 11. The second gear 13 and the third gear 14 are located on the same plane but do not contact each other. The second gear 13 and the third gear 14 have different numbers of teeth to achieve differential rotation, ensuring that each line is taut during the wire laying process, that is, the cable 22 is under tension during the wire laying process. A first gear 15 is provided above the middle of the second gear 13 and the third gear 14. The first gear 15 meshes with both the second gear 13 and the third gear 14. A motor connecting plate 16 is provided on the upper left side of the fixing frame 9. The motor connecting plate 16 is located directly above the first gear 15, and the part connected to the motor is located on the side of the first gear 15. The driving component may include a reducer 17 and a motor 28. The reducer 17 is provided on the left side of the motor connecting plate 16. The reducer 17 is bolted to the motor connecting plate 16. The first gear 15 is connected to the reducer 17 through a shaft hole. A motor 28 is fixedly connected to the reducer 17 above it. The upper part of the fixed frame 9 has an indexing and centering shaft 20 in the middle, and the indexing and centering shaft 20 has a guide groove. The front and rear sides of the upper part of the fixed frame 9 are respectively equipped with clamping device fixing shafts 21. The fixed constraint is achieved by means of the indexing and centering shaft 20 and the clamping device fixing shafts 21.

[0059] Please continue reading. Figures 1-9 In some embodiments, the cable feeding device 2 further includes a cable auxiliary support shaft 19. The cable auxiliary support shaft 19 is disposed on opposite sides of the fixing frame 9. The clamping device 23 also includes a pressure rod 33, which is connected to the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder and is disposed at the end of the cable clamping support 30 away from the U-shaped fixing plate 31. The cable auxiliary support shaft 19 and the pressure rod 33 are directly opposite each other, and the cable auxiliary support shaft 19 and the pressure rod 33 are used to clamp the cable 22. Therefore, when the clamping wheel 32 separates from the cable 22, to prevent the cable 22 from moving arbitrarily, the telescopic rod of the clamping drive cylinder 29 can drive the pressure rod 33 to press down during the upward movement of the clamping wheel 32, thus clamping the cable 22 against the cable auxiliary support shaft 19.

[0060] For example, the other end of the bearing pressure plate 18 is provided with a cable auxiliary support shaft 19. The front end of the wire pressing support 30 is provided with a pressure rod 33, which is connected to the telescopic rod of the pressing drive cylinder 29.

[0061] Please see Figures 10-13In some embodiments, the pitch-changing device 4 may include a guide fixing plate 38, multiple guide shafts 39, and multiple pitch-changing posts 41. The guide fixing plate 38 is fixed to the platform 1, the multiple guide shafts 39 are disposed on the guide fixing plate 38, and the multiple pitch-changing posts 41 are movably sleeved on the guide shafts 39. Adjacent pitch-changing posts 41 enclose a guide space, through which the cable 22 passes. The spacing between the pitch-changing posts 41 can be changed manually or by means of a motor, cylinder, etc. Thus, the size of the guide space can be changed by altering the spacing between adjacent pitch-changing posts 41, resulting in a simple structure that helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the wiring device.

[0062] Please see Figures 10-13 In some embodiments, the pitch-changing device 4 further includes a pitch-changing plate 36, a pitch-changing drive cylinder 34, and a slide rail 37. The pitch-changing plate 36 is connected to the guide fixing plate 38 via the slide rail 37. The pitch-changing drive cylinder 34 drives the pitch-changing plate 36 to slide along the length direction of the guide fixing plate 38. The pitch-changing plate 36 is provided with multiple slots that extend in different directions. The pitch-changing stud 41 engages with the slots via a clip 42. Thus, the size of the guiding space can be changed by the engagement between the clip 42 and the slot. The structure is simple, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the wiring device.

[0063] For example, the pitch control device 4 includes a pitch control drive cylinder 34. A guide fixing plate 38 is provided below the pitch control drive cylinder 34. Two guide shafts 39 are provided in the middle of the guide fixing plate 38. Guide shaft fixing members 40 are provided at both ends of the guide shafts 39, and the guide shaft fixing members 40 are located on the side of the guide fixing plate 38 and are connected to the guide fixing plate 38 by bolts. The telescopic rod of the variable pitch drive cylinder 34 is provided with a movable retaining ring 35 fixedly connected to it. Below the movable retaining ring 35 is a variable pitch plate 36, which has six slots in different directions and is fixedly connected to the movable retaining ring 35. Slide rails 37 are provided on both sides of the variable pitch plate 36, cooperating with the slide rails 37 to move along them. The slide rails 37 are located in front of both sides of the guide fixing plate 38 and are fixedly connected to it.

Clamps 42 are provided on the front side of each variable pitch post 41, fixedly connected to them. The six clamps 42 are respectively located in the six slots of the variable pitch plate 36, allowing them to move along the direction of the slots.

The hopper 45 is connected to the platform 1 via a hopper 45 support plate and is used to store wire fasteners 49. The wire fastener push plate 44 is movably disposed between the hopper 45 and the platform 1. The feeding cylinder 47 is disposed on the platform 1 and is used to drive the wire fastener push plate 44 to move. The wire fastener pressure plate 46 is disposed on one side of the hopper 45. The pressing cylinder 48 is used to drive the wire fastener pressure plate 46 to move towards or away from the wire fastener push plate 44. Thus, the wire fastener 49 can be fixed to the wire fastener that has been installed in the previous step through the cooperation between the wire fastener push plate 44 and the wire fastener pressure plate 46.

[0065] For example, the pressure plate device 5 includes a hopper support plate 43 fixedly connected to the platform 1 and mounted on the platform 1, with two hopper support plates 43 arranged symmetrically. A hopper 45 is provided between the two hopper support plates 43. A wire fastener push plate 44 is located directly below the hopper 45. The wire fastener push plate 44 is positioned on the platform 1 between the two hopper support plates 43, and there are slight gaps between it and the hopper 45, the hopper support plates 43, and the platform 1. Feeding cylinders 47 are located on both sides of the front of the wire fastener push plate 44. The feeding cylinders 47 are fixed to the platform 1 by bolts, and the ends of their telescopic rods are fixed to the wire fastener push plate 44. Wire fasteners 49 are located in the hopper 45. The wire fasteners 49 are arranged neatly in the hopper, similar to bullets in a magazine. A wire fastener pressure plate 46 is located above the wire fastener push plate 44 and is located behind the hopper 45. A pressing cylinder 48 is located above the pressing cylinder 46, and the ends of the telescopic rods of the pressing cylinder 48 are fixed to the pressing cylinder 46.

[0069] A bolt hopper 64 is provided above the arc-shaped rail 61; a feeding pusher 65 is provided at the connection between the arc-shaped rail 61 and the bolt hopper 64, which can push a single bolt 62 from the bolt hopper 64 into the arc-shaped rail 61; a feeding drive cylinder 66 is provided behind the feeding pusher 65, and the end of the telescopic rod of the feeding drive cylinder 66 is fixedly connected to the feeding pusher 65.

[0070] The bolt hopper 64 contains multiple bolts 62, which are arranged in a neat, serial fashion, similar to bullets in a magazine. A tightening machine mounting bracket 59 is located on the lower front side of the sliding table 58, and is positioned above the arc-shaped rail 61. A tightening machine 60 is located above the tightening machine mounting bracket 59, and its flange is bolted to the tightening machine mounting bracket 59. Its telescopic rod passes through the lower part of the arc-shaped rail 61. A camera 63 is located at the bottom of the sliding table 53.

[0071] The use of the wiring device according to the embodiments of this application will be described below.

[0072] First, the five coiled wire spools 7 are placed between the two wire spool support frames 8, and the wire ends are led out and passed through the five pressing rollers 32 and the front and rear rotating shafts 10 and 11 respectively. Then, they are passed through the guide mechanism 3 to prevent the cables 22 from getting tangled, and finally through the gap between the six pitch posts 41 of the pitch changing device 4. After preparation, start motor 28, which drives front shaft 10 and rear shaft 11 to rotate at different speeds through gear transmission with different numbers of teeth, ensuring that cable 22 is in a taut state. Start the pressing drive cylinder 29 of pressing device 23-27 to drive pressing wheel 32 to contact cable 22. At this time, cable 22 begins to move. Front shaft 10 drives two cables 22 to move, and rear shaft 11 drives three cables 22 to move. At the same time as pressing drive cylinder 29 is started, variable pitch drive cylinder 34 is started. The variable pitch plate 36 is moved up and down to the appropriate position through moving retainer 35. While variable pitch plate 36 moves up and down, the clips 42 fixed to the six variable pitch posts 41 move along the slots of variable pitch plate 36. At this time, variable pitch posts 41 move left or right along guide shaft 39. The distance between the six variable pitch posts 41 changes to adapt to different cable diameters. Cable 22 is arranged under platform 1.

[0073] When the five cables 22 are at a corner or need to be laid out individually, each cable 22 moves at a different speed. In this case, the cylinders 29 of the clamping devices 23-27 can be controlled to drive the clamping rollers 32 to move up or down, thus causing the clamping rollers 32 to contact or separate from the cables 22. When the clamping rollers 32 contact the cables 22, the cables 22 move; when the clamping rollers 32 separate from the cables 22, the cables 22 stop moving, thus allowing individual movement of each cable 22. When the clamping rollers 32 separate from the cables 22, to prevent the cables 22 from moving arbitrarily, the extension rod of the clamping drive cylinder 29 drives the pressure rod 33 to press down during the upward movement of the clamping rollers 32, pressing the cables 22 against the cable auxiliary support shaft 19.

[0074] When all the cables in the reel 7 are released, the reel 7 needs to be replaced. If the diameter of the cables in the new reel is different from that of the original reel, remove the bearing pressure plate 18 connected to the fixing frame 9, and replace the front rotating shaft 10 and the rear rotating shaft 11 to accommodate cables 22 of different diameters. Then rotate the indexing centering shaft 20. The guide groove on the indexing centering shaft 20 drives the clamping device 23-27 to move left and right, and the distance between the clamping wheels 32 of the clamping device 23-27 is adjusted.

[0075] After the cables 22 are laid out at a certain distance under the platform 1, they need to be fixed. The feeding cylinder 47 is started to push the cable fixing plate 44 forward a certain distance, just enough to push the bottom cable fixing plate 49 of the hopper 45 to the bottom of the cable fixing plate 46. At this time, the pressing cylinder 48 is started to push the cable fixing plate 46 down, pressing the cable fixing plate 49 located directly under the cable fixing plate 46 to the designated position on the laid cables 22. Then the feeding cylinder 47 and the pressing cylinder 48 are driven back to their original positions.

[0076] After the wire fastener 49 is placed, the camera 63 locates the threaded hole of the wire fastener 49. The left-right movement cylinder 54 is activated to move the slide table 53 along the slide table guide shaft to the designated position. The feeding drive cylinder 66 is activated to push the feeding pusher 65 forward at the connection between the bolt hopper 64 and the arc-shaped rail 61, pushing the bottom bolt 62 of the bolt hopper 64 into the arc-shaped rail 61. At this point, the bolt 62 will slide along the arc-shaped rail 61 from the top to the bottom, just below the tightening machine 60. The feeding drive cylinder is then activated. 66 returns to its original position, and then the up-and-down moving cylinder 56 is activated to push the sliding table 58 down along the sliding rail 57, so that the bolt 62 directly below the tightening machine 60 is about to enter the threaded hole on the cable fastener 49. At this time, the tightening machine 60 is activated to screw the bolt 62 directly below the tightening machine 60 into the cable fastener 49, and the fixing is completed. The up-and-down moving cylinder 56 is driven to return to its original position. There is a threaded hole at each end of the cable fastener 49. The camera 63 finds the position of the other threaded hole of the cable fastener 49 and repeats the above steps to complete the fixing.
