[0024] With reference to Figure 4 The cable disc conveying unit 2 is arranged in the conveying area and is used for conveying cable discs; the cable disc conveying unit 2 comprises a carrier, a first driving mechanism for driving the carrier to move horizontally, and a second driving mechanism for driving the carrier to move vertically, specifically, the conveying area is provided with horizontally arranged slide rails 14, the carrier comprises a slide base 201 mounted on the slide rails 14 and driven by the first driving mechanism to move on the slide rails 14, a support base 202 mounted on the slide base 201 and driven by the second driving mechanism to move up and down on the slide base 201, and a first supporting rod 203 and a second supporting rod 204 mounted on the support base 202, and both ends of the first supporting rod 203 and the second supporting rod 204 are supported by bearings, and the two supporting rods are arranged oppositely and have a reserved space. The carrier moves linearly horizontally with high precision through the slide rails 14 and the slide base 201, and the load bearing height is adjusted flexibly by the vertical movement of the support base 202; the first supporting rod 203 and the second supporting rod 204 are arranged oppositely with both ends supported by bearings, so that both of them are in a rotatable state, which not only effectively disperses the load, enhances the load bearing stability and movement stability, but also provides reliable and interference-free support and positioning for the cable disc through the reserved space, and the overall rigidity is strong and the running resistance is small.

[0025] With reference to Figures 5-6, the empty reel storage area is provided with an empty reel storage channel capable of accommodating a plurality of empty reels, the empty reel storage channel is in an inclined state, the low end of the empty reel storage channel is an open port for discharging a single empty reel, the open port is provided with a material blocking rod and a rotary motor 15 connected with the material blocking rod to drive the material blocking rod to rotate. The bottom plate at the bottom end of the empty reel storage channel is connected with a buffer plate 16, and the buffer plate 16 is provided with a reel outlet. The feeding mechanism 3 is arranged between the empty reel storage area and the conveying area, and is used to transfer the empty reels stored in the empty reel storage area to the carrier. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a first supporting rod 31, a second supporting rod 32, a first power component 33 connecting the first supporting rod 31 and the second supporting rod 32, a linear rail, a sliding seat slidingly installed on the linear rail, and a second power component 34 connected with the sliding seat to drive the sliding seat to move on the linear rail. The first supporting rod 31 and the second supporting rod 32 are arranged horizontally below the reel outlet and are driven by the first power component 33 to approach or move away from the center of the reel outlet. The linear rail is arranged vertically on the side of the reel outlet, and the first power component 33 is fixedly installed on the sliding seat In work, when the carrier moves to a position below the feeding mechanism 3, the second power component 34 drives the first power component 33 to move upward to a predetermined position, and then the rotary air cylinder drives the material blocking rod to rotate, so that the frontmost empty reel rolls to the buffer plate 16, and falls into the first supporting rod 31 and the second supporting rod 32 through the reel outlet on the buffer plate to be supported by the first supporting rod 31 and the second supporting rod 32. Then, the second power component 34 drives the first power component 33 to move downward, so that the carrier supports the empty reel from below the first supporting rod 31 and the second supporting rod 32. At this time, the first power component 33 drives the first supporting rod 31 and the second supporting rod 32 to open to both sides, so that the empty reel falls onto the carrier, and the carrier conveys the empty reel to the take-up area, and the driving shaft 503 and the driven shaft of the take-up unit 5 arranged in the take-up area are clamped to complete the feeding action.

[0026] In further embodiments, the first supporting rod 31 and the second supporting rod 32 each include a core rod connected with the first power component 33 and a sleeve sleeved on the core rod. The rotation of the sleeve relative to the core rod is used to alleviate the instantaneous impact force when the empty reel is caught.

[0027] In a further embodiment, the material blocking rod is a V-shaped rod composed of a front end blocking rod 12 and a rear end blocking rod 13. The V-shaped opening formed by the two blocking rods can stably clamp and guide the cable reel, effectively preventing the empty cable reel from sliding or being arranged disorderly in the inclined empty reel storage channel, and ensuring the orderly discharge of single reels; at the same time, when the rotary cylinder controls the rotation of the material blocking rod for discharging, the front end blocking rod 12 is turned to the high position, and the rear end blocking rod 13 is turned to the low position, at this time, the front end blocking rod 12 enters the discharging state to discharge the empty cable reel located between the two blocking rods, and the rear end blocking rod 13 replaces the material blocking responsibility of the front end blocking rod 12 to block the empty cable reel behind. After discharging is completed, the rotary cylinder drives the material blocking rod to rotate and reset, so that the rear end blocking rod 13 is turned to the high position and the front end blocking rod 12 is turned to the low position, so that the front end blocking rod 12 resumes the material blocking work. The design of this structure realizes the precise switching of material blocking and discharging, is simple and reliable, closely cooperates with the empty reel storage channel form, and improves the stability and automation degree of the feeding process.

[0028] Referring to Figure 7 The discharging mechanism 4 is arranged between the full reel storage area and the conveying area, and is used for transferring the full load cable reel on the carrier to the full reel storage area. Specifically, the discharging mechanism 4 includes a discharging cylinder 401 with a top end downward, a plug rod 402 installed on the top end of the discharging cylinder 401 and parallel to the driving shaft 503, and a fifth driving mechanism for driving the discharging cylinder 401 to move in the X-axis and Y-axis directions above the cable reel conveying unit 2 and the full reel storage area. The extension direction of the top end of the discharging cylinder 401 is parallel to the driving shaft 503. During discharging, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism cooperate to drive the carrier to the set discharging position, and then the discharging cylinder 401 and the fifth driving mechanism cooperate to first insert the plug rod 402 into the hole of the cable reel, and then transfer the full cable reel to the full reel storage area and arrange it in order.

[0029] In a further embodiment, the discharging mechanism 4 further includes a longitudinal guide rail pair 403 and a transverse guide rail pair 404; the fifth driving mechanism includes a first driving part and a second driving part; the longitudinal guide rail pair 403 is located above the cable reel conveying unit 2 and is installed at the lower end of the empty reel storage area; the transverse guide rail pair 404 spans the cable reel conveying unit 2 and the full reel storage area, and is installed on the longitudinal guide rail pair 403 and driven to move longitudinally by the first driving part; the discharging cylinder 401 is installed on the transverse guide rail pair 404 and driven to move transversely by the second driving part.

[0030] Referring to Figure 8The take-up unit 5 is arranged at the take-up area and is used to perform the take-up work of the fiber cable; the take-up unit 5 comprises a driving side frame body 501 and a driven side frame body 502 which are oppositely arranged at both sides of the bracket moving path; the driving side frame body 501 is provided with a driving shaft 503, a third driving mechanism for driving the rotation of the driving shaft 503 and a pushing mechanism 6 for pushing the cable reel away from the driving shaft 503; the driven side frame body 502 is provided with a driven shaft which is coaxially arranged opposite to the driving shaft 503 and is provided with a fourth driving mechanism for driving the linear movement of the driven side frame body 502 towards the driving side frame body 501; the entry side of the driving shaft 503 is provided with a wire arranging wheel 7. The take-up unit 5 adopts the layout that the driving side frame body 501 and the driven side frame body 502 are oppositely arranged at both sides of the bracket path, and the linear movement of the driven shaft driven by the fourth driving mechanism can realize the quick and accurate centering and clamping with the driving shaft 503, greatly improving the automation degree and reliability of the cable reel clamping; at the same time, the third driving mechanism for driving the rotation, the pushing mechanism 6 for executing the pushing and the wire arranging wheel 7 for arranging the wire are highly integrated on the driving side, so that the whole unit structure is compact, the functions are concentrated and the action is highly efficient, effectively ensuring the stability of the take-up process and the smoothness of the reel changing operation.

[0031] The front end clamping mechanism 8 is arranged at the entry side of the wire arranging wheel 7 and is used to perform the clamping work of the fiber cable; specifically, the front end clamping mechanism 8 is a pneumatic clamping jaw. The rear end clamping mechanism 9 is arranged above the driving shaft 503 and is used to perform the clamping work of the fiber cable. The wire pulling mechanism 10 is used to guide the fiber cable to be clamped by the rear end clamping mechanism 9.

When the cable reel is full and the reel changing is performed, the front end clamping mechanism 8 clamps the fiber cable from the entry side, i.e. from the wire direction, the wire pulling mechanism 10 guides the fiber cable to the rear end clamping mechanism 9 and clamps it; then, the cutting mechanism 11 cuts the fiber cable between the front end clamping mechanism 8 and the rear end clamping mechanism 9, so as to avoid the loosening or winding of the fiber cable; finally, the pushing mechanism 6 pushes the cable reel away from the driving shaft 503, so that the cable reel falls onto the bracket which is previously arranged below the driving shaft 503 and is transferred to the discharging position by the bracket, so as to perform the discharging work by the discharging mechanism 4.

[0032] In further embodiments, the pushing mechanism 6 is installed on the driving side frame body 501 and has a telescopic telescopic end which is located outside the driving shaft 503 and faces the end of the driving shaft 503; specifically, the pushing mechanism 6 comprises a push rod arranged outside the driving shaft 503 and a third driving component connected with the push rod for driving the axial movement of the push rod. When the take-up work is completed and the reel changing is needed, the fourth driving mechanism drives the driven side frame body 502 to move away from the driving side frame body 501, so as to loosen the clamping of the cable reel, and then the extended end of the pushing mechanism 6 extends to push the cable reel away from the driving shaft 503.

[0033] Referring to Figures 9-10 , specifically, the rear end clamping mechanism 9 in the embodiment includes a clamping block and a fourth driving component for controlling the opening and closing of the clamping jaw, the clamping block includes a fixed clamping block 901, a movable clamping block 902 and a spring 903; the fixed clamping block 901 is fixedly installed on the driving side frame body 501 and has a base portion 9011, an upper clamping portion 9012 located above the base portion 9011, and a guide portion 9013 connecting the base portion 9011 and the upper clamping portion 9012; the spring 903 is located below the upper clamping portion 9012 and is installed on the base portion 9011; the movable clamping block 902 is slidingly installed below the upper clamping portion 9012 and is elastically supported by the spring 903, and under the action of the spring 903, it abuts against the upper clamping portion 9012 to form a normally closed state of the clamping jaw, and the opening of the clamping jaw is towards the end of the driving shaft 503; the fourth driving component separates the movable clamping block 902 from the upper clamping portion 9012 by pressing it downward to form an open state of the clamping jaw.

[0034] Further, the fourth driving component is a pneumatic cylinder; the guide portion 9013 is provided with a vertically arranged guide hole, and the movable clamping block 902 has a lower clamping portion 9021 and a pressing portion 9022; the movable clamping block 902 is slidingly installed in the guide hole, and the lower clamping portion 9021 thereof is oppositely arranged below the upper clamping portion 9012, and the pressing portion 9022 thereof is located below the ejecting end of the fourth driving component. This structure uses the pneumatic cylinder as the driving source, responds quickly and controls accurately; through the sliding cooperation of the vertical guide hole and the movable clamping block 902, the linearity and stability of the movement of the movable clamping block 902 are ensured, effectively preventing the clamping block from being deviated and clamped; and the pressing portion 9022 is directly located below the ejecting end of the pneumatic cylinder, and when the pneumatic cylinder is ejected, it pushes the pressing portion 9022 downward to open the clamping jaw, and when the pneumatic cylinder is retracted, the pressing portion 9022 is automatically reset, so that the overall structure is compact and the action is reliable.

This structure design realizes the normally closed state of the clamping jaw through the force of the spring 903, ensuring that the fiber cable can be reliably clamped immediately after being introduced, preventing slipping; the fourth driving component only needs to provide a pressing force to overcome the force of the spring 903 to open the clamping jaw when the wire is introduced, which is low in energy consumption and accurate in action; combined with the composite movement of the axial movement and the horizontal movement of the end rod 1001 in the wire pulling mechanism 10, the end of the fiber cable can be accurately guided to the front of the clamping jaw and directly pushed into the open clamping jaw, and the whole feeding and clamping process is highly automated, smooth and reliable.

[0036] Further, the upper part of the take-up unit 5 is provided with a guide rail pair 1004 across the two sides of the driving shaft 503; the fifth driving part 1003 is a cylinder and is installed on the guide rail pair 1004, and the end rod 1001 is installed on the ejection end of the cylinder; the sixth driving part drives the fifth driving part 1003 to move with the end rod 1001 on the guide rail pair. The structure design realizes the accurate and independent control of the end rod 1001 in the axial and lateral directions by installing the fifth driving part 1003, which drives the end rod 1001 to move axially, as a cylinder on the guide rail pair 1004 across the driving shaft 503, and driving the whole to move laterally by the sixth driving part. Thus, the complex compound motion is decomposed into the superposition of two linear motions, the structure is compact, the motion trajectory is accurate and does not interfere with each other, which not only ensures that the wire pulling mechanism 10 can accurately guide the cable to the clamping opening, but also avoids collision with the rotating parts of the lower take-up unit 5, greatly improving the reliability of the equipment operation.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the present application realizes the continuous and efficient operation of the whole process from the feeding of the empty reel, the winding of the cable to the off-line of the full reel through the highly integrated structure design and the collaborative work of the automatic unit. The device divides the function areas such as the conveying area, the empty reel storage area, the full reel storage area and the take-up area based on the rack 1, realizes the accurate transfer of the cable reel in the horizontal and vertical directions through the bracket in the cable reel conveying unit 2 cooperating with the first and second driving mechanisms. The empty reel storage area automatically supplies the empty cable reel to the conveying area through the feeding mechanism 3, and the full reel is transferred to the full reel storage area through the discharging mechanism 4, which significantly reduces the manual intervention and improves the production continuity. The take-up unit 5 adopts the mode of centering clamping of the driving shaft 503 and the driven shaft and linear compression of the fourth driving mechanism to ensure the stable rotation of the cable reel for take-up, and the pushing mechanism 6 is used to complete the automatic unloading of the full reel; the wire arranging wheel 7 ensures the orderly winding of the cable, and the front clamping mechanism 8 and the rear clamping mechanism 9, the wire pulling mechanism 10 and the cutting mechanism 11 between them cooperate to realize the clamping positioning, guiding and automatic cutting of the cable, effectively avoiding the loosening or winding of the cable and improving the take-up quality and the overall automation degree of the equipment.

[0038] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
