Those skilled in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments according to specific needs. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art can use other alternative methods to implement some well-known technologies. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic wrapping system for ultra-clean insulating tape for joints, comprising: a base 1 and an adjustment mechanism disposed on the inner side of the top of the base body 1; The adjustment mechanism includes a transmission assembly, an adjustment assembly, an auxiliary assembly, and a guide assembly; The transmission assembly includes a drive structure 2, a lead screw 3, a moving seat 4, and a threaded sleeve 5; The adjustment assembly includes a bracket 6, a protective cover 7, a first auxiliary wheel 8, a lower support roller 9, an upper support roller 10, and a toothed ring 11; The auxiliary components include a drive motor 12, a drive gear 13, a second auxiliary wheel 14, a third auxiliary wheel 15, and an auxiliary roller 16; The guide assembly includes a slider 17 and a guide rail 18; The adjusting component and the transmission component form a sliding connection. In this embodiment of the invention, during operation, the cable to be wrapped is first passed between the lower idler roller 9 and the upper idler roller 10. Then, as the cable passes between the two idler rollers, the lower idler roller 9 and the upper idler roller 10 are connected. With the connection between the two idler rollers, the teeth on the outer ring surface of one end of the two idler rollers form a complete toothed ring 11. At this time, the toothed ring 11 will mesh with the drive gear 13 through the teeth. At the same time, the outer ring surface of the auxiliary idler roller 16 located at both ends of the two idler rollers will be in contact with the outer ring surface of the first auxiliary wheel 8, while the second auxiliary wheel 14 will extend to the inner side of the auxiliary idler roller 16 and contact the inner wall. Meanwhile, the outer ring surface of the third auxiliary wheel 15, which is rotatably connected to the inner side of the bracket 6, will be in contact with the end face of the auxiliary idler roller 16. Then, in the subsequent operation, when the drive motor 12 works and the drive gear 13 connected to its output end rotates, the teeth meshing with it will be connected to the drive gear 13. The ring 11 rotates accordingly, thereby rotating the upper idler roller 10 and the lower idler roller 9, and thus rotating the entire idler roller structure. Under the rotation of the upper idler roller 10 and the lower idler roller 9, the auxiliary idler roller 16 also rotates. The first auxiliary wheel 8, the second auxiliary wheel 14, and the third auxiliary wheel 15 are used to limit the rotation of the auxiliary idler roller 16, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire idler roller structure during the subsequent rotation and wrapping process. At the same time, as the cable is wrapped, the drive structure 2 will rotate the lead screw 3 connected to its output end. Since the lead screw 3 and the threaded sleeve 5 are connected by a threaded groove, the rotation of the lead screw 3 will cause the threaded sleeve 5 to move axially along the lead screw 3. The movement of the threaded sleeve 5 will then be used to adjust the lateral position of the moving seat 4, so that the entire structure can move axially along the cable, facilitating better wrapping treatment laterally.

[0031] In one possible implementation, limit components are provided on both sides of the top of the base 1; The limiting assembly includes a lower support 19 and a limiting pressure seat 20; Among them, the lower support 19 is symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the base 1; In this embodiment of the invention, during use, one end of the cable is engaged in the inner arc groove opened in the middle of the top of the lower support 19, so that the surface of the cable contacts the surface of the inner arc groove in the lower support 19. Then, the limiting pressure seat 20 is installed on the top of the lower support 19 and fixed, so that it is quickly connected to the lower support 19. The cooperation between the lower support 19 and the limiting pressure seat 20 is used to fix the cable and ensure its stability in the subsequent wrapping process.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the outer ring surface of the lead screw 3 is provided with an external thread, and the inner cavity of the threaded sleeve 5 is provided with an internal thread groove whose diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the lead screw 3. Among them, the lead screw 3 is connected to the threaded sleeve 5 through the external thread on its outer surface; In this embodiment of the invention, since the lead screw 3 and the threaded sleeve 5 are connected by a thread, the threaded sleeve 5 can be easily pushed laterally as the lead screw 3 rotates, so that the threaded sleeve 5 moves axially along the lead screw 3.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the first auxiliary wheel 8 is symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the bracket 6, and the first auxiliary wheel 8 is rotatably connected to the bracket 6 through a bearing seat. In this embodiment of the invention, during operation, since the first auxiliary wheel 8 is connected to the bracket 6 through the bearing seat, and the outer ring surface of the first auxiliary wheel 8 is in contact with the outer ring surface of the auxiliary roller 16, the multiple first auxiliary wheels 8 can be used to assist the rotation of the auxiliary roller 16.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the lower idler roller 9 and the upper idler roller 10 are detachably connected. In this embodiment of the invention, the assembly design between the lower roller 9 and the upper roller 10 facilitates subsequent maintenance of the internal structure of the device, resulting in higher overall practicality.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the outer ring surface of the drive gear 13 has multiple teeth arranged at equal intervals along the center point, and the drive gear 13 forms a meshing connection with the gear ring 11 through the teeth. In this embodiment of the invention, since the driving gear 13 is meshed with the gear ring 11 through its teeth, the rotation of the gear ring 11 can be easily realized as the driving gear 13 rotates.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the first auxiliary wheel 8 is detachably mounted to both ends of the bracket 6 via a connecting arm, and the outer ring surface of the first auxiliary wheel 8 is in contact with the inner arc surface of the auxiliary roller 16. In this embodiment of the invention, as the auxiliary roller 16 rotates, the outer ring surface of the first auxiliary wheel 8 is attached to the inner wall of the auxiliary roller 16, and the setting of the first auxiliary wheel 8 can play the purpose of assisting and limiting the rotation of the auxiliary roller 16.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the third auxiliary wheel 15 is rotatably connected to the bracket 6 via a bearing seat, and the third auxiliary wheel 15 is symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the bracket 6. The outer arc surface of the third auxiliary wheel 15 contacts the end face of the auxiliary roller 16; In this embodiment of the invention, since the outer ring surface of the third auxiliary wheel 15 is in contact with the end face of the auxiliary roller 16, the rotation of the auxiliary roller 16 can be facilitated by the third auxiliary wheel 15, thereby improving the stability of the auxiliary roller 16 during its movement.

[0038] In one possible implementation, sliders 17 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the movable base 4, and the bottom of sliders 17 has a slot. The slider 17 is slidably connected to the guide rail 18 through a slot at its bottom; In this embodiment of the invention, since the slider 17 is connected to the guide rail 18 through the slot at its bottom, the slider 17 can be slidably adjusted along the guide rail 18 to adjust the lateral position of the moving seat 4, and the stability of the moving seat 4 during movement can be improved.

[0039] In one possible implementation, an inner arc groove is provided at the bottom center of the limiting pressure seat 20, and an inner arc groove is also provided at the top center of the lower support 19. Among them, the inner arc groove opened at the middle of the bottom end of the limiting pressure seat 20 and the inner arc groove opened at the middle of the top end of the lower support 19 form a circular groove. In this embodiment of the invention, since the inner arc groove opened at the top of the lower support 19 and the bottom of the limiting pressure seat 20 forms a circular groove, the opening of the circular groove can facilitate the subsequent cable passage, thereby achieving the clamping and limiting treatment of the cable by the cooperation of the lower support 19 and the limiting pressure seat 20.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following: This invention employs a mobile split design, an overall clean design, and automated programming precision control technology. Through the overall movement and split wrapping head, the use of stainless steel material for the entire wrapping head, and the use of wear-resistant and buffer-resistant special materials for the key transmission device, the mobile wrapping head with micron-level precision, along with a precision industrial control computer and PLC programming to achieve micron-level control over the wrapping size and thickness, solves the technical problem of mechanical wrapping of submarine cable factory joints.
