Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable production, in particular to a rapid drying equipment for digital communication cable production line. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the existing digital communication cable production line, after the extruder head, the cable is usually immersed in a water tank for cooling to solidify the shell. A large amount of water droplets often remain on the digital communication cable after it comes out of the water tank. Moreover, because the surface of the digital communication cable is generally rough, the water droplets on it will also be more obvious.

However, the vertically blown air is easy to scatter the water droplets on the surface of the digital communication cable, but the evaporation effect is actually not good. If the processing time is not enough or the temperature of the hot air is not high enough, a small amount of fine water droplets will often remain on the surface of the digital communication cable, which will affect the subsequent processing.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 The aforementioned rapid drying equipment for a digital communication cable production line is used to rapidly dry a single cable body 16. As for the conveying and winding of the cable body 16, these are provided by other existing equipment, such as cable winding machines, and are not shown in this application.

[0025] This application includes a base 11, a panel 12 fixedly mounted on the base 11, a bracket 24 fixedly mounted on the panel 12, a heating barrel 22 fixedly mounted on the bracket 24, a drying barrel 27 inserted into the heating barrel 22, the drying barrel 27 being rotatably mounted on a support frame 21 via bearings, the support frame 21 being fixed to the panel 12, and the drying barrel 27 being driven to rotate by a power component;

[0026] The power assembly includes a gear 20 fixed on the drying barrel 27, the gear 20 meshing with a gear 28, the gear 28 being fixed to the motor shaft of the motor 19, and the motor 19 being fixedly mounted on the panel 12.

[0027] The drying barrel 27 has a slot in the middle for inserting the cable body 16. Several ball grooves 34 are formed inside the drying barrel 27, and metal balls 33 are rolled within each ball groove 34 (the metal balls 33 can rotate at any angle within the ball groove 34; a similar structure can be referenced in ball joints or ball bearing massagers). A heating chamber 31 is formed between the drying barrel 27 and the heating barrel 22. Both ends of the metal balls 33 penetrate the drying barrel 27. One end of the metal ball 33 is located inside the heating chamber 31, and the other end is located inside the drying barrel 27 and is in contact with the cable body 16. A heating wire 32 is fixed inside the heating barrel 22 and is sleeved on the outside of the metal balls 33. When the heating wire 32 is energized, it heats each metal ball 33. The transport of the cable body 16 causes each metal ball 33 to rotate, and the heated side of the metal ball 33 rotates to contact with the cable body 16, directly drying the water droplets on the surface of the cable body 16 and achieving a rapid drying effect.

[0028] An integrated electrical control box 37 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the panel 12 to supply power and control various electrical appliances. The wires connected to the heating wire 32 are buried inside the bracket 24, so there are no exposed wires in the whole device, which is very safe.

[0029] Specifically, an air pump 26 is fixedly installed on the panel 12 on one side of the bracket 24. The air outlet of the air pump 26 is fixedly connected to the air pipe 25, and the other end of the air pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the heating chamber 31. After the air pump 26 is started, air will be pumped into the heating chamber 31 from the air pipe 25, and the hot air in the heating chamber 31 will be carried out, thereby preheating the cable body 16 and preventing the waste of hot air in the heating chamber 31.

[0030] A blower head 23 is fixed to one side of the heating barrel 22, and a blower head 29 is fixed to one side of the drying barrel 27. The blower head 23 and the blower head 29 form an air outlet 30. The air outlet 30 is conical and its outlet is parallel to the cable body 16. The conical design of the air outlet 30 accelerates the hot air, and the parallel outlet of the air outlet 30 allows the water droplets on the surface of the cable body 16 to evaporate better.

[0031] A bracket 15 fixed to the panel 12 is provided on one side of the motor 19. A heating barrel 18 is fixed on the bracket 15. An opening is made in the heating barrel 18 for the cable body 16 to pass through. A heating chamber 36 is opened in the heating barrel 18. A heating wire 35 is fixed in the heating chamber 36. An air pump 13 fixed to the panel 12 is provided on one side of the bracket 15. The air outlet of the air pump 13 is fixedly connected to an air pipe 14. The other end of the air pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the heating chamber 36. After the air pump 13 is started, air is blown into the air pipe 14. The air in the air pipe 14 enters the heating chamber 36. The heating wire 35 conducts heat when energized. The air blown into the heating chamber 36 forms a wind that carries out the hot air to quickly dry the cable body 16.

[0032] Specifically, a blower head 3 17 is fixed on one side of the heating barrel 2 18. The blower head 3 17 forms a conical inner cavity and the air outlet is parallel to the cable body 16. The hot air blown out from the blower head 3 17 is parallel to the cable body 16, which can achieve a better drying effect.

[0033] The secondary drying process here can better dry the cable body 16 thoroughly.

[0034] How to use:

[0035] Cable body 16 as Figure 1 The placement is shown in the diagram; the placement process requires manual operation by workers.

[0036] After placement, the electrical appliances are started by controlling the integrated electrical control box 37. After the motor 19 starts, it drives the gear 28 to rotate. The gear 28 meshes with the gear 10 to drive the gear 20 to rotate. The gear 10 drives the drying barrel 27 to rotate. The rotation of the drying barrel 27 will cause each metal ball 33 to rotate on the surface of the cable body 16. The metal balls 33 will roll on their own.

[0037] The heating wire 32 will be energized and generate heat, and the heated side of the metal ball 33 will rotate to fit against the cable body 16 to directly dry the water droplets on the surface of the cable body 16.

[0038] After the air pump 26 is started, air will be pumped into the heating chamber 31 through the air pipe 25, and the hot air in the heating chamber 31 will be carried out, thereby preheating the cable body 16.

[0039] On the other hand, after the second air pump 13 is started, air is blown into the second air pipe 14. The air in the second air pipe 14 enters the second heating chamber 36. The second heating wire 35 is energized and conducts heat. The air blown into the second heating chamber 36 forms a wind that carries out the hot air to quickly dry the cable body 16.

[0040] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
