Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wire and cable testing technology, and in particular to a testing robot for wire and cable production. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical wires and cables typically consist of a core that transmits power or electrical signals and a sheath that provides protection and insulation. After production, electrical wires and cables undergo a series of rigorous tests to ensure their quality meets relevant standards and requirements. Among these tests, abrasion resistance testing is a crucial step in assessing the wear resistance of the insulation or sheath materials. Wires and cables used in environments with frequent movement or friction, such as those in industrial equipment and vehicles, are particularly vulnerable. Poor abrasion resistance in cables can easily damage the outer sheath, leading to short circuits or leakage, posing safety hazards. Therefore, the abrasion resistance of cables directly affects their lifespan and safety.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN220289300U discloses a tooling for testing the abrasion resistance of insulated wires. The tooling includes a tooling table with a wire groove. A clamping mechanism for axial positioning of the cable is provided in the wire groove. A grinding mechanism is provided on one side of the wire groove. The grinding mechanism includes a grinding wheel for grinding the insulated cable. A positioning mechanism is provided on one side of the grinding mechanism for squeezing and positioning the insulated wire.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the outer sheath material of the wire and cable is prone to brittle fracture during friction with the grinding wheel, forming fine debris. The debris softens easily under the high temperature of friction. The softened debris fills the gaps in the grinding wheel to form a "debris layer", reducing the surface roughness of the grinding wheel, resulting in a decrease in the coefficient of friction, a slowdown in the wear rate, and causing the test data to fail to meet the standards. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a testing robot for wire and cable production that reduces the possibility of debris adhering to the grinding wheel when testing the abrasion resistance of cables.

[0006] This application provides a testing robot for wire and cable production, which adopts the following technical solution. A testing robot for wire and cable production includes a workbench, on which are arranged: A clamping assembly, comprising two clamping portions slidably disposed on a worktable, with a cable clamped between the two clamping portions; A grinding wheel is horizontally rotatable on a worktable, with its outer peripheral wall in close contact with the cable for grinding the cable. An annular airflow hood is coaxial with the grinding wheel and covers the grinding wheel. Several multi-angle nozzles are distributed along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral wall of the annular airflow hood. The nozzles spray airflow at a certain angle to the tangent direction of the grinding wheel, and the spraying direction is the same as the rotation direction of the grinding wheel. The guide channel and the chip collection channel are installed on the workbench. The outlet of the guide channel and the inlet of the chip collection channel are connected to each other to transport waste chips to the chip collection channel.

[0007] Optionally, the guide channel is provided on both sides of the cable, and a strip nozzle is arranged in the guide channel. The strip nozzle sprays airflow toward the cable axis, forming an orthogonal airflow field with the spiral air curtain. The airflow sprayed by the strip nozzle can guide the waste debris into the guide channel.

[0008] Optionally, the airflow ejected from the strip nozzle will create a pressure difference above the guide channel, pushing the waste debris to move in the guide channel.

[0009] Optionally, the guide channel is inclined on the worktable, and the end of the guide channel with a lower elevation is connected to the chip collection channel.

[0010] Optionally, the nozzle is oriented at an angle of 45° toward the tangent of the grinding wheel, and the jet pressure is between 0.5 and 1.5 MPa.

[0011] Optionally, the strip nozzle is arranged along the length of the guide groove, the jet pressure of the strip nozzle is set at 0.2-0.5MPa, and the angle between the strip nozzle and the worktable is between 30° and 60°.

[0012] Optionally, an airflow control system is also included, which includes a scroll air compressor and an airflow regulating valve. The scroll air compressor is used to provide airflow to the annular airflow shroud and the strip nozzle. The airflow regulating valve is installed on the air inlet pipes of the annular airflow shroud and the strip nozzle to facilitate control of the airflow rate and pressure entering the annular airflow shroud and the strip nozzle.

[0013] Optionally, the airflow control system further includes a PLC controller, which is used to control the start and stop of the scroll air compressor, the airflow regulating valve and the drive source, as well as the switching of motion states.

[0014] Optionally, wind speed sensors are installed inside the airflow hood and at the strip nozzle. The wind speed sensors are used to monitor the airflow speed in real time so as to provide feedback to the PLC controller to issue corresponding instructions.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When the nozzle sprays airflow onto the grinding wheel, firstly, the airflow can cool the outer peripheral wall of the grinding wheel, reducing the temperature of the outer peripheral wall and decreasing the possibility of waste chips melting and adhering to the outer peripheral wall of the grinding wheel.

[0016] Secondly, during normal wear, the abrasive grains on the surface of the grinding wheel gradually fall off or wear away, forming a uniform wear pattern. However, debris adhering to the grinding wheel can alter the surface roughness and hardness distribution. Adhered debris may fill gaps on the grinding wheel surface, making it relatively smooth and reducing the effective contact area between the abrasive grains and the cable surface, thus lowering the grinding wheel's abrasion resistance. This may lead to the measured cable abrasion resistance data being higher than the actual situation, failing to accurately reflect the cable's abrasion resistance. In contrast, the multi-angle nozzles within the annular airflow hood spray airflow at a specific angle to the grinding wheel, with the spray angle aligned with the grinding wheel's rotation direction. This creates a spiral airflow, which has a velocity component along the tangential direction of the grinding wheel, generating a thrust in the same direction as the grinding wheel's rotation. Under this force, the debris moves along the spiral air curtain, thus being pushed away from the contact area between the grinding wheel and the cable, preventing debris accumulation in the grinding area and affecting the grinding effect and cable surface quality. Thirdly, the spiral airflow is shaped like a rotating cone, which has a certain converging effect. It can concentrate the waste material ground off the grinding wheel inside the air curtain, preventing the waste material from splashing around randomly. Instead, under the constraint of the spiral air curtain, the waste material moves in a more concentrated direction away from the cable, which is convenient for subsequent collection and treatment.

[0017] Fourthly, there is a certain pressure difference inside the spiral airflow. The airflow near the grinding wheel surface has a high speed and low pressure, while the external airflow has a relatively high pressure. This pressure difference will generate an upward buoyancy force on the waste chips, keeping them suspended to a certain extent. This reduces the contact and friction between the waste chips and the cable surface, and lowers the possibility of the waste chips causing secondary scratches or contamination to the cable surface.

[0018] 2. The strip nozzle sprays air towards the cable, creating an airflow field around the cable that points towards the guide channel. On one hand, this prevents debris from scattering beyond the sides of the cable; on the other hand, when debris blown out by the nozzle at the grinding wheel moves near the cable, the airflow generated by the strip nozzle can act on it a second time, further guiding the debris into the guide channel.

[0019] 3. The airflow ejected from the strip nozzle creates a pressure difference above the guide channel, propelling the waste debris within the channel. Simultaneously, the residual energy of the airflow ejected from the nozzle inside the airflow hood, while guiding the waste debris into the guide channel, may continue to propel the debris forward within the channel, thereby transporting it to the waste collection trough.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a testing robot for wire and cable production, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a worktable 1 and an airflow control system 8. The worktable 1 is equipped with a clamping assembly 2 for fixing both ends of a cable 9. The clamping assembly 2 includes clamping parts that slide at both ends of the worktable 1. Linear guide rails 21 are fixedly connected to both ends of the worktable 1. The clamping parts include sliding seats 22 that slide on the linear guide rails 21, and clamps 23 that are fixedly connected to the sliding seats 22. The cable 9 is fixed within the two clamps 23. The clamps 23 can clamp cables 9 of different sizes, enhancing the adaptability of the clamping assembly 2. The clamps 23, located on the sliding seats 22, allow the cable 9 to reciprocate along the length of the linear guide rails 21, increasing the contact area between the cable 9 and the grinding wheel 3. This enables multi-point testing of the cable 9 and improves the accuracy of abrasion resistance testing.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A grinding wheel 3 is rotatably mounted on the workbench 1. The grinding wheel 3 is placed horizontally on the workbench 1. A drive source 31 for driving the grinding wheel 3 to rotate is provided on the side of the workbench 1 away from the grinding wheel 3. The drive end of the drive source 31 passes through the workbench 1 and is fixedly connected to the axis of the grinding wheel 3. The outer peripheral wall of the grinding wheel 3 abuts against the cable 9.

[0025] The cable 9 is passed through the clamp 23 and locked in place. The two sliding seats 22 reciprocate synchronously on the corresponding linear guide rails 21. The drive source 31 drives the grinding wheel 3 to rotate. The contact surface between the grinding wheel 3 and the cable 9 will generate unidirectional friction due to the rotation of the grinding wheel 3, thus conducting a dynamic wear resistance test on the cable 9. The clamping part drives the cable 9 to reciprocate at a low speed on the worktable 1, which can simulate the continuous sliding friction of the cable 9.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The workbench 1 is equipped with an annular airflow hood 4, which covers the grinding wheel 3 and is coaxial with it. The annular airflow hood 4 has a clearance hole 41 for the cable 9 to pass through. Several support rods 42 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular airflow hood 4, arranged in a ring. The ends of the support rods 42 are fixedly connected to buckles 43. The workbench 1 has a groove 11 for inserting the support rods 42. The bottom of the groove 11 has a slot 12 that engages with the buckle 43, forming an L-shaped groove with the groove 11. The support rods 42 are made of thermoplastic elastomer.

[0027] Move the support rod 42 toward the center of the annular airflow cover 4 so that it can be inserted into the groove 11. After the buckle 43 enters the slot 12, remove the movement of the support rod 42. The support rod 42 undergoes elastic deformation in the groove 11, pushing the buckle 43 to abut against the inner wall of the slot 12. At this time, the buckle 43 is located inside the slot 12, and the top of the buckle 43 abuts against the top wall of the slot 12, thereby fixing the annular airflow cover 4. The use of the buckle 43 and the slot 12 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the annular airflow cover 4, thereby making it convenient to replace the severely worn grinding wheel 3.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 The inner circumferential wall of the annular airflow shroud 4 has several multi-angle nozzles 5 distributed along the circumferential direction. The opening direction of the nozzles 5 is at a 45° angle to the tangent direction of the grinding wheel 3. The jet pressure of the nozzles 5 is between 0.5-1.5MPa. The airflow direction ejected from the nozzles 5 is the same as the rotation direction of the grinding wheel 3.

[0029] During the rotation of the grinding wheel 3 and its friction with the cable 9, the surface temperature of the grinding wheel 3 increases. The debris falling from the cable 9 during this friction process melts and adheres to the surface of the grinding wheel 3. This adhered debris may fill gaps on the surface of the grinding wheel 3, making the surface relatively smooth and reducing the effective contact area between the abrasive grains and the cable surface, thus reducing the abrasive wear resistance of the grinding wheel 3 on the cable. This may lead to the measured cable abrasion resistance data being higher than the actual situation, failing to accurately reflect the cable's abrasion resistance. The airflow from the nozzle 5 can reduce the surface temperature of the grinding wheel 3, decreasing the possibility of debris melting and adhering to the outer peripheral wall of the grinding wheel 3.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 The nozzles 5 on the inner circumferential wall of the annular airflow shroud 4 are evenly distributed along the circumference, and the spray direction is tangential to the outer circumferential wall of the grinding wheel 3 and the same as the rotation direction of the grinding wheel 3. When the airflow is ejected from these nozzles 5, it forms a spiral airflow around the outer circumference of the grinding wheel 3. The spiral airflow has a velocity component along the tangential direction of the grinding wheel 3, which can generate a thrust in the same direction as the rotation of the grinding wheel 3. Under the action of this force, the waste chips move along the direction of the spiral air curtain, thereby being pushed away from the contact area between the grinding wheel 3 and the cable 9, preventing the waste chips from accumulating in the grinding area and affecting the grinding effect and the surface quality of the cable.

[0031] The spiral airflow is shaped like a rotating cone, which has a certain converging effect. It can concentrate the waste material ground off the grinding wheel 3 inside the air curtain, so that the waste material will not splash around randomly, but will move more concentratedly away from the cable 9 under the constraint of the spiral air curtain, which is convenient for the subsequent collection and treatment of waste material.

[0032] Meanwhile, a certain pressure difference exists within the spiral airflow. The airflow near the surface of grinding wheel 3 has a high velocity and low pressure, while the external airflow has a relatively high pressure. This pressure difference generates an upward buoyancy force on the waste debris, keeping it suspended to a certain extent. This reduces the contact and friction between the waste debris and the cable surface, lowering the possibility of secondary scratches or contamination caused by the waste debris.

[0033] The 45° angle between the nozzle 5's opening direction and the tangent of the grinding wheel 3 is a relatively balanced angle. This angle provides sufficient blowing force to remove debris without excessively interfering with the rotation of the grinding wheel 3 or the operation of the cable 9 due to the airflow angle being too perpendicular or parallel to the tangent. If the angle is too perpendicular, it may create significant resistance to the grinding wheel 3, affecting its rotational stability, and may also generate a large impact force on the cable 9, causing it to shift or become damaged. Conversely, if the angle is too parallel, it may not be able to effectively reach the contact area between the grinding wheel 3 and the cable 9 to remove debris. Therefore, the 45° angle effectively removes debris while ensuring the normal operation of both the grinding wheel 3 and the cable 9.

[0034] The annular airflow cover 4 is made of high-temperature resistant PC material. The annular airflow cover 4 can withstand the heat generated by the high-speed friction of the grinding wheel 3, prevent the annular airflow cover 4 from deforming under high temperature conditions, and extend the service life of the annular airflow cover 4.

[0035] Reference Figure 2The workbench 1 is provided with a flow guide trough 6, which is located on both sides of the cable 9. Strip nozzles 61 are arranged within the flow guide trough 6, extending along the length of the cable 9. The strip nozzles 61 spray airflow towards the axis of the cable 9, forming an orthogonal airflow field with the spiral air curtain. The angle between the strip nozzles 61 and the workbench 1 is set between 30° and 60°. In this embodiment, the angle between the strip nozzles 61 and the workbench 1 is 60°, and the jet pressure of the strip nozzles 61 is set between 0.2 and 0.5 MPa.

[0036] The strip nozzle 61 sprays airflow toward the cable 9, creating an airflow field around the cable 9 that points toward the guide groove 6. On one hand, it prevents waste from scattering in directions other than the sides of the cable 9; on the other hand, when the waste blown out by the nozzle 5 at the grinding wheel 3 moves to the vicinity of the cable 9, the airflow generated by the strip nozzle 61 can act on it a second time, further guiding the waste into the guide groove 6.

[0037] The airflow ejected from the strip nozzle 61 creates a pressure difference above the guide channel 6, propelling the waste debris within the guide channel 6. Simultaneously, the residual energy of the airflow ejected from the nozzle 5 inside the airflow hood, while guiding the waste debris into the guide channel 6, may also continue to propel the waste debris forward within the guide channel 6.

[0038] The strip nozzle 61 forms a 60-degree angle with the ground, which allows the ejected airflow to better combine with the spiral airflow. This angle allows the airflow to have a larger component in the horizontal direction, which can effectively push the debris swept by the spiral airflow towards the debris collection groove 7. At the same time, it also has a certain component in the vertical direction, which can use gravity to assist the debris to fall, so that the debris falls into the debris collection groove 7 more smoothly.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The guide channel 6 is inclined on the workbench 1, and the height of the guide channel 6 gradually decreases along the direction away from the grinding wheel 3. A notch 13 is opened on the workbench 1, and a chip collection groove 7 is placed in the notch 13. The chip collection groove 7 is V-shaped, and the outlet of the guide channel 6 is connected to the inlet of the chip collection groove 7.

[0040] The waste debris in the guide channel 6 will move towards the chip collection channel 7 under the thrust of the airflow and its own gravity until the waste debris falls into the feed port through the discharge port of the guide channel 6.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The airflow control system 8 includes a scroll air compressor, an airflow regulating valve, a wind speed sensor, and a PLC controller. The scroll air compressor provides a power source for the nozzles 5 and strip nozzles 61 inside the annular airflow shroud 4. The scroll air compressor compresses the intake air and delivers it through pipelines to the nozzles 5 and strip nozzles 61 inside the annular airflow shroud 4, thereby generating an airflow that can block debris from splashing.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 An airflow regulating valve is installed on the air inlet pipe of the annular airflow hood 4 and the strip nozzle 61 to facilitate control of the airflow rate and pressure entering the annular airflow hood 4 and the strip nozzle 61, thereby achieving the best protection and waste interception effect.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 An air speed sensor is installed inside the annular airflow shroud 4 and around the strip nozzle 61 to monitor the airflow speed in real time, so as to provide feedback to the control system and achieve precise control of the airflow speed, ensuring that the airflow can effectively block debris splashing.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 A control panel 81 is installed near the workbench 1. The control panel 81 integrates an airflow control valve, a wind speed sensor, and a PLC controller. The PLC controller is used to control the start and stop of the scroll air compressor, the airflow control valve, and the drive source 31, as well as the switching of their motion states. Before the drive source 31 drives the grinding wheel 3 to rotate, the scroll air compressor is started first. After the airflow stabilizes, the drive source 31 is started to control the grinding wheel 3 to rotate, so as to ensure that there is a protective airflow when the grinding wheel 3 is working.

[0045] Meanwhile, the PLC controller can receive real-time data from the wind speed sensor, analyze and process the data, determine whether the current airflow meets the protection requirements based on the airflow speed data fed back by the wind speed sensor, and issue corresponding control commands to adjust the opening of the airflow regulating valve or the output power of the scroll air compressor in order to maintain the stability and appropriate speed of the airflow.

[0046] The implementation principle of the inspection robot for wire and cable production in this embodiment is as follows: The PLC controller first sends a command to the scroll air compressor. The scroll air compressor runs and delivers airflow to the annular airflow shroud 4 and the strip nozzle 61 to form an orthogonal airflow field. Then, the drive source 31 is turned on to drive the grinding wheel 3 to rotate. While the grinding wheel 3 is rotating, the two sliding seats 22 move back and forth synchronously on the corresponding linear guide rails 21, which drives the cable 9 to perform dynamic friction with the grinding wheel 3, simulating the continuous sliding friction of the cable 9.

[0047] During the friction between cable 9 and grinding wheel 3, the cable 9's sheath generates debris, and the heat generated by friction easily melts and adheres the debris to the surface of grinding wheel 3. When airflow is ejected from nozzle 5, it first lowers the temperature of the grinding wheel 3's surface. Secondly, the airflow forms a spiral airflow around the grinding wheel 3, concentrating the debris ground off the grinding wheel 3 within the air curtain. This prevents the debris from splashing randomly, instead concentrating it under the constraint of the spiral air curtain and moving it away from cable 9. Simultaneously, the strip nozzle 61 sprays airflow towards cable 9, creating an airflow field around cable 9 pointing towards guide groove 6. On one hand, this prevents debris from scattering beyond the sides of cable 9; on the other hand, when the debris blown out by nozzle 5 on grinding wheel 3 moves near cable 9, the airflow generated by strip nozzle 61 can act on it a second time, further guiding the debris into guide groove 6.

[0048] The airflow ejected from the strip nozzle 61 creates a pressure difference above the guide channel 6, propelling the waste debris within the guide channel 6. Simultaneously, the residual energy of the airflow ejected from the nozzle 5 inside the airflow hood, while guiding the waste debris into the guide channel 6, may also continue to propel the waste debris forward within the guide channel 6.

[0049] The waste debris in the guide channel 6 is driven by gravity and the thrust of the airflow to move toward the chip collection channel 7 and fall into the chip collection channel 7, thereby completing the collection of waste debris.

[0050] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
