Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable straightening technology, specifically to an automated multi-stage cable straightening device. Background Technology

[0002] A cable straightening device is a mechanical device or tool used to correct the bending, twisting, curling, and other deformations of cables (such as wires, cables, optical fibers, metal wires, etc.) during production, transportation, or use, so as to restore them to a straight state.

[0003] Patent CN212733928U discloses a high-efficiency cable straightening device, including a base with two straightening units mounted on it. The two straightening units are vertically and horizontally positioned close to each other. Each straightening unit includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate that are stacked and fixedly connected to each other. The first mounting plate has multiple rotatable notches, with push plates slidably mounted within these notches. A movable roller is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the push plate near the fixed roller, and a pulley is rotatably mounted on the side of the push plate away from the movable roller. The second mounting plate has a slidably mounted rack, with multiple spaced triangular plates fixedly connected to the side wall of the rack away from the tooth surface. A first gear meshes with the tooth surface of the rack and is rotatably connected to the second mounting plate. The second mounting plate has a locking mechanism for locking or releasing the first gear. This device can adapt to cables of different diameters, thus improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned straightening device still has the following problems in actual use:

[0005] When cables are straightened using a straightening machine, their complex structure and anisotropic mechanical properties are due to the fact that they are typically composed of multiple layers of different materials (such as copper conductors, PVC insulation, and nylon sheaths). Currently, most mainstream straightening equipment uses a single-stage straightening method, which involves a hydraulic device driving multiple sets of V-shaped rollers at the top to press down, in conjunction with V-shaped support wheels fixed at the bottom, to apply pressure to the cable and achieve straightening.

[0006] However, the bending patterns of cables are not limited to "wavy bends" in a plane; they often exhibit "spiral bends" or three-dimensional twists in a spatial sense. Single-stage straightening structures have a distinct "unidirectional" characteristic, effectively correcting deformation in only one direction and failing to eliminate bending stress in the vertical direction or other spatial dimensions.

[0007] This results in the overall straightness of the cable still not being ideal after straightening. Not only may repeated straightening be required, increasing processing costs, but excessive compression may also damage the internal structure or outer sheath of the cable, affecting its electrical performance and service life. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automated multi-stage cable straightening device that can straighten cables in multiple stages.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated multi-level cable straightening device, comprising a base plate, with two straightening modules connected to one side of the upper surface of the base plate. Each straightening module includes an L-shaped plate, a hydraulic rod, a U-shaped frame, a transmission component, several guide rods, several directional wheels, several adjusting wheels, and several No. 3 rods. In the first straightening module, one end of the L-shaped plate and the transmission component are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, and the other end of the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic rod.

The two clamping mechanisms are symmetrical and located inside the slip ring rotor on the side away from the base plate. The vision camera is located inside the slip ring rotor on the side closer to the base plate. The slip ring stator, slip ring rotor, vision camera, and two clamping mechanisms are all located on the side of the first straightening module away from the second straightening module.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes an electric push rod and an arc-shaped plate. The outer wall of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slip ring rotor, and the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate. The inner wall of the arc-shaped plate faces the center of the slip ring rotor.

[0014] Furthermore, a liquid storage chamber is provided inside one of the arc-shaped plates. An observation port is provided through the liquid storage chamber on the side near the bottom plate. A transparent glass is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the observation port. A replenishment pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the liquid storage chamber near the bottom plate. A sealing plug is threaded to the inner wall of the replenishment pipe. A marking cotton is fixedly connected to the side of the liquid storage chamber near the center of the slip ring rotor.

[0015] Furthermore, a rotating mechanism is connected to the outer wall of the slip ring stator, and the output end of the rotating mechanism is connected to the slip ring rotor.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0037] Please see Figures 1-10 An automated multi-level cable straightening device includes a base plate 1. Two straightening modules are connected to one side of the upper surface of the base plate 1. Each straightening module includes an L-shaped plate 4, a hydraulic rod 5, a U-shaped frame 12, a transmission assembly, several guide rods 6, several directional wheels 2, several adjusting wheels 3, and several rods 15. In the first straightening module, one end of the L-shaped plate 4 and the transmission assembly are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, and the other end of the L-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic rod 5. The output end of the hydraulic rod 5 and the several guide rods 6 are all connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The L-shaped plate 4 is inserted and fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped frame 12. The output end of the hydraulic rod 5 and several guide rods 6 are slidably connected to the through-hole of the L-shaped plate 4. The other end of the U-shaped frame 12 is respectively sleeved and rotatably connected to the two ends of several No. 3 rods 15. Several adjusting wheels 3 are respectively sleeved and fixedly connected to the middle of several No. 3 rods 15. The output end of the transmission component is connected to several directional wheels 2. Several adjusting wheels 3 and several directional wheels 2 are staggered. The U-shaped frame 12 of the first straightening module is connected to the L-shaped plate 4 of the second straightening module.

[0038] It should be noted here that: see details Figures 1-4 The two straightening modules have the same structure, only different orientations, and the number of straightening modules is not limited to two, but can be more. This invention only shows two for the convenience of text description and illustration, and the specific number is not limited.

[0039] Furthermore, this section and the following sections are all based on... Figure 1 From the perspective of the description, the right-side straightening module refers to Figure 1The horizontal part located on the right side of the base plate 1. Figure 1 The middle straightening module of the base plate 1 is a vertical part.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transmission assembly includes a conveying motor 10, a first rod 13, a synchronization assembly, and several second rods 14. The conveying motor 10 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 4 via a base. The output shaft of the conveying motor 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rod 13. The first rod 13 and the several second rods 14 are parallel to each other, and the ends of the first rod 13 and the several second rods 14 away from the conveying motor 10 are respectively fixedly connected to several directional wheels 2. The two ends of the synchronization assembly are respectively connected to the first rod 13 and the second rods 14.

[0041] More specifically, by setting two transmission components, power can be provided to several directional wheels 2 in the two straightening modules, and then several adjusting wheels 3 can clamp the cable to be straightened (hereinafter referred to as the bent cable) under the action of the hydraulic rod 5 and send it into the straightening module in the middle of the base plate 1, so that the bent cable can be straightened from multiple directions.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the synchronization component includes a synchronization belt 31 and two synchronization pulleys 30. The two synchronization pulleys 30 are respectively sleeved and fixedly connected to the outer walls of rod 13 and rod 14, and the synchronization belt 31 is sleeved on the outside of the two synchronization pulleys 30.

[0043] More specifically, by setting up a synchronization component, a single conveyor motor 10 can simultaneously power several directional wheels 2 within a straightening module, reducing the probability of slippage.

[0044] It should be noted that in practical applications, there can be multiple synchronization components, and the specific number is not limited.

[0045] In summary, such as Figures 1 to 10 As shown, when using the automated multi-level cable straightening device of the present invention, simply place the base plate 1 stably (or fix it directly) on the table, then pass the cable to be straightened (hereinafter referred to as the bent cable) through the several directional wheels 2 and adjusting wheels 3 of the straightening module on the right side of the base plate 1, and then turn on the hydraulic rod 5 on the right straightening module.

[0046] After the hydraulic rod 5 is activated, the output end of the hydraulic rod 5, together with several guide rods 6, pushes the U-shaped frame 12 to move inside the L-shaped plate 4. This pushes several adjusting wheels 3 connected to the inside of the U-shaped frame 12 toward the direction of the directional wheel 2. This allows the directional wheel 2 to limit the bent cable at one angle, preventing the bent cable from falling out of the straightening module.

[0047] Then, the conveyor motor 10 on the left straightening module is turned on. After the conveyor motor 10 is started, the output shaft drives the first rod 13 to rotate. After the first rod 13 rotates, it drives the synchronous wheel 30 on the surface to rotate. Then, the synchronous wheel 30 can drive another synchronous wheel 30 connected to the second rod 14 to rotate through the synchronous belt 31. At the same time, the first rod 13 and the second rod 14 drive the directional wheel 2 to rotate, which can then transport the cable located between the directional wheel 2 and the adjusting wheel 3 to the straightening module in the base plate 1.

[0048] When the bent cable enters between the directional wheel 2 and the adjusting wheel 3 of the second straightening module, the hydraulic rod 5 of the intermediate straightening module is activated. Then, the bent cable is straightened from another angle in the same manner as described above. This allows the bent cable to be straightened from multiple angles, enabling it to be straightened in one go. This is convenient, quick, and easy to operate (if there are multiple straightening modules, this effect can be achieved until the bent cable passes through all the straightening modules).

[0049] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the base plate 1 is connected to two limiting blocks 8, and a slip ring stator 7 is fixedly connected between the two limiting blocks 8. A slip ring rotor 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slip ring stator 7. A vision camera 36 and two clamping mechanisms are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slip ring rotor 16. The two clamping mechanisms are symmetrical and located inside the slip ring rotor 16 on the side away from the base plate 1. The vision camera 36 is located inside the slip ring rotor 16 on the side close to the base plate 1. The slip ring stator 7, the slip ring rotor 16, the vision camera 36, ​​and the two clamping mechanisms are all located on the side of the first straightening module away from the second straightening module.

[0050] The clamping mechanism includes an electric push rod 17 and an arc plate 18. The outer wall of the electric push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slip ring rotor 16, and the output end of the electric push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc plate 18. The inner wall of the arc plate 18 faces the center of the slip ring rotor 16.

[0051] One of the arc-shaped plates 18 has a liquid storage chamber 39 inside. An observation port 37 is provided through the liquid storage chamber 39 on the side near the bottom plate 1. A transparent glass is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the observation port 37. A replenishment pipe 38 is fixedly connected to the side of the liquid storage chamber 39 near the bottom plate 1. A sealing plug is threaded to the inner wall of the replenishment pipe 38. A marking cotton 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the liquid storage chamber 39 near the center of the slip ring rotor 16.

[0052] More specifically, after the bent cable passes through all the straightening modules, the surface of the bent cable may have cracks that were present before or generated during the straightening process due to the multiple straightening steps. In order to avoid these cracks affecting subsequent use, two limit blocks 8 are set on the leftmost side of the base plate 1, and a slip ring stator 7 and a slip ring rotor 16 are set between the two limit blocks 8.

[0053] When the straightened curved cable (hereinafter referred to as the straight cable) passes through the last straightening module, the end of the straight cable will be inserted into the slip ring stator 7 and the slip ring rotor 16. At this time, the vision camera 36 located inside the slip ring rotor 16 near the bottom plate 1 will detect the slip ring rotor 16 that is passing through first.

[0054] During the process of the slip ring rotor 16 passing through the vision camera 36, ​​the vision camera 36 performs real-time detection on the surface of the straight cable. If a crack is detected, the vision camera 36 can transmit an electrical signal to an external processor, and then the two electric actuators 17 will be opened simultaneously by the external controller (such as a PLC controller).

[0055] After the electric actuator 17 is started, its output end extends outward and pushes the arc plate 18 to move together. Since one of the arc plates 18 has a liquid storage chamber 39 inside, and a marking cotton 25 is provided on the side of the liquid storage chamber 39 facing the straight cable, as the two arc plates 18 approach the straight cable, they can simultaneously abut against the surface of the straight cable from both sides, so that the marking cotton 25 can mark the contact position with the straight cable.

[0056] At this point and subsequently, once staff discover the markings, they can manually (or more precisely, by machine) re-inspect this section of straight cable. After the re-inspection, this section of straight cable can be cut, repaired, discarded, or reworked.

[0057] It should be noted here that: the crack signal can also be transmitted by the visual camera 36 and the electric actuator 17 can be activated at the same time, triggering an audible and visual alarm through an external controller to provide timely reminders. The specific details are not limited.

[0058] In addition, the two electric push rods 17 and the arc plate 18 are provided to prevent the straightened cable from bending again due to the squeezing force after only one arc plate 18 is pressed against the surface of the straight cable.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the slip ring stator 7 is connected to a rotating mechanism, and the output end of the rotating mechanism is connected to the slip ring rotor 16.

[0060] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor 26, a worm gear 29, a fourth rod 32, a worm 33, and two support blocks 28. One end of each support block 28 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slip ring stator 7. The outer wall of the rotating motor 26 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the support blocks 28. The output shaft of the rotating motor 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the fourth rod 32. The other end of the fourth rod 32 passes through the two support blocks 28 and is rotatably connected to them. The worm 33 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fourth rod 32. One side of the worm gear 29 is fixedly connected to the side of the slip ring rotor 16 near the base plate 1. The worm gear 29 meshes with the worm 33.

[0061] More specifically, because the cross-section of the straight cable is cylindrical, the detection line of the vision camera 36 may be obstructed. In order to improve the detection accuracy, a rotating mechanism is added between the second rod 14 and the slip ring rotor 16. When the directional wheel 2 rolls and conveys the straight cable, it can simultaneously rotate the slip ring rotor 16, thereby achieving more accurate detection through the vision camera 36 during the rotation process.

[0062] The specific steps are as follows: When the conveyor motor 10 starts, the second rod 14 rotates due to the synchronous belt 31 and the synchronous pulley 30. At this time, several directional pulleys 2 rotate together. At the same time as the conveyor motor 10 starts, the rotary motor 26 starts. Then, the output shaft of the rotary motor 26 drives the fourth rod 32 to rotate inside the two support blocks 28, thereby driving the worm gear 33 on the surface of the fourth rod 32 to rotate together. When the worm gear 33 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 29 connected to the slip ring rotor 16 to rotate, thereby causing the vision camera 36 and the two electric push rods 17 located inside the slip ring rotor 16 to rotate (because the two electric push rods 17 are symmetrical, even if the electric push rods 17 follow the vision camera 36 to rotate, their relative positions are fixed, so it will not affect the clamping and marking effect).

[0063] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the first U-shaped frame 12 are fixedly connected to connecting plates 23, and the other end of the connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to a first rack plate 19. The upper surface of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to two guide plates 24. The inner wall of the upper end of the guide plate 24 is fixedly connected to two fifth rods 34. The other ends of the two fifth rods 34 are respectively rotatably connected to a small gear 20 and a large gear 21. The side of the guide plate 24 near the small gear 20 is slidably connected to a second rack plate 22. The side wall of the second rack plate 22 is fixedly connected to one of the limiting blocks 8. The first rack plate 19 meshes with the small gear 20, the small gear 20 also meshes with the large gear 21, and the large gear 21 meshes with the second rack plate 22.

[0064] More specifically, because the cables to be straightened are of different thicknesses, the pushing distance of the hydraulic rod 5 is often set according to the thickness during straightening to ensure that the distance between the adjusting wheel 3 and the directional wheel 2 is always in a state that can straighten the bent cable. However, as the distance between the adjusting wheel 3 and the directional wheel 2 changes, the straight cable and the slip ring rotor 16 will no longer be in a "concentric circle" state. This may cause the distance between the two arc plates 18 and the straight cable to change, thereby causing the straight cable to be bent.

[0065] At this point, a connecting plate 23, a first rack plate 19, and a second rack plate 22 are set between the U-shaped frame 12 and the slip ring stator 7 in the middle position. A guide plate 24 is also set on the base plate 1. The guide plate 24 rotates to support the small gear 20 and the large gear 21. When the U-shaped frame 12 in the middle position rises, the U-shaped frame 12 rises with the connecting plate 23. The rise of the connecting plate 23 also raises the first rack plate 19. Then the first rack plate 19 rotates the small gear 20 counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the small gear 20 will cause the large gear 21 to rotate clockwise. Then the large gear 21 will rise with the second rack plate 22. Since the number of teeth of the small gear 20 is half the number of teeth of the large gear 21, if the U-shaped frame 12 rises by 4cm, the slip ring stator 7 will only rise by 2cm. Since the height of the directional wheel 2 remains unchanged, it can be ensured that the slip ring stator 7 and the straight cable located between the directional wheel 2 and the adjusting wheel 3 are still in the "concentric" state.

[0066] Furthermore, since the U-shaped frame 12 in the middle position is also connected to the L-shaped plate 4 of the straightening module on the right side through another connecting plate 23, rack plate 19, rack plate 22, etc., when the U-shaped frame 12 in the middle position rises by 4cm, the total height of the straightening module on the right side will also rise by 2cm (if there are other straightening modules, they can all be connected to the U-shaped frame 12 in the middle position by adding connecting plate 23, rack plate 19, rack plate 22, etc., so as to ensure synchronous lifting and lowering, and the lifting height is only half of that of the U-shaped frame 12 in the middle position).

[0067] It is important to note here that when the curved cable passes through the right-side straightening module, it can be understood as coarse straightening. At this point, the curved cable has a significant bend (e.g., a spiral). After passing through the right-side straightening module, the bend is reduced to a smaller degree. When the smaller degree of bend passes through the middle straightening module, it is completely straightened into a straight line by the middle straightening module (in practical applications, since the total number of straightening modules is not limited, but the ultimate goal is to straighten to a straight line), the right-side straightening module does not need to, and cannot, be completely concentric with the slip ring stator 7. The straightening module is connected to another gear and rack assembly (rack plate 19, rack plate 22, pinion 20, and gear 21) to ensure that the height between the two straightening modules is the same as much as possible. This prevents the curved cable from having two bends when it enters the middle straightening module. Therefore, the right straightening module can only be at the same height as the center of the slip ring stator 7. However, the curved cable inside the right straightening module is not concentric with the slip ring stator 7. Only the straight cable inside the straightening module closest to the slip ring stator 7 remains concentric with the slip ring stator 7.

[0068] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary rod 27 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. A T-shaped groove 40 is provided on one side of the auxiliary rod 27 and the two connecting plates 23. A lifting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 8 away from the first rack plate 19. A T-shaped block 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the lifting rod 9, the first rack plate 19 and the second rack plate 22. The three T-shaped blocks 35 are slidably connected to the three T-shaped grooves 40 respectively.

[0069] More specifically, by setting up the auxiliary rod 27 and the lifting rod 9, and by using the T-slot 40 and the matching T-block 35, not only can a support be added to the end of the slip ring stator 7 away from the second rack plate 22 when the slip ring stator 7 is raised and lowered, but a moving track for the first rack plate 19 and the second rack plate 22 can also be provided to reduce the probability of deformation of the first rack plate 19 and the second rack plate 22.

[0070] It should be noted that the connecting plate 23, rack plate 19, rack plate 22, auxiliary rod 27, and lifting rod 9 are all made of steel, which ensures both support and sufficient rigidity.

[0071] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a stop rod 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, and the stop rod 11 abuts against the side of the second L-shaped plate 4 away from the second rack plate 22.

[0072] More specifically, by setting the stop bar 11, its purpose is the same as that of the auxiliary bar 27 and the lifting bar 9 mentioned above, to provide a limit for the right L-shaped plate 4 when it is raised or lowered, thereby reducing the probability of the right straightening module tilting when it is raised or lowered and when it is stationary.

[0073] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
