Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cable production equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent twisting and cabling system for unshielded horizontal twisted-pair network cables. Background Technology

[0002] Unshielded horizontal twisted-pair network cables are widely used in the communications field, and their twisting accuracy and cabling quality directly determine transmission stability. Currently, most existing twisted-pair cabling equipment uses power cable processing technology. For example, patent document CNC120236827A discloses a power cable twisting device, which mainly relies on the gravity of a counterweight or the passive response of a spring for tension compensation. This method has a slow control response and cannot achieve real-time, dynamic, and precise tension adjustment during high-speed twisting, easily leading to excessive tension fluctuations, affecting the uniformity and stability of the twisting pitch, and resulting in poor versatility.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing equipment generally suffers from problems such as asynchronous tension adjustment and guide limit, easy cable deviation and wear, and low power transmission efficiency, resulting in uneven twisted pitch and unstable cabling quality, which affects the cable transmission performance. Therefore, an intelligent twisting and cabling system for unshielded horizontal twisted-pair network cables is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

The output shaft of the second drive motor and the end of the transmission shaft are both provided with transmission gears, and the two transmission gears mesh with each other. The connecting arm is fixed to the outer surface of the transmission shaft.

[0014] Optionally: The rotor is fixed to the outer surface of the drive shaft, and the two sliding sleeves are sleeved on the outer surface of the drive shaft. The rotor is driven to rotate by the drive shaft, causing the two abutment plates to move outward by centrifugal force, so that the two abutment plates respectively fit against the outside of the two rollers.

A mounting shaft is fixed on the outer wall of the mounting base, and two inclined plates are sleeved on the outer surface of the mounting shaft for mounting the two auxiliary guiding wheels respectively. Two fastening rings for fixing the inclined plates are installed on the outer surface of the mounting shaft.

[0018] Optionally: The ends of the two main guide wheels are slidably mounted inside the mounting base. The adjustment assembly includes a dual-axis cylinder fixed to the back of the mounting base.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. This invention achieves synchronized operation of the cable rack and adjustment mechanism through the gear transmission and synchronous drive of the drive mechanism and the transmission shaft. With the precise guidance of the twisted ring, it ensures uniform pitch of the twisted wire cores. The dynamic tension of the adjustment mechanism and the limiting cooperation of the linkage structure prevent cable deviation and wear, improve the quality of the wire cores, and ensure the transmission performance of the cable.

[0021] 2. In this invention, the elastic action of the elastic shaft and the reset action of the reset spring in the adjustment mechanism can automatically adjust the position of the tension wheel according to the tension of the cable, adapting to the processing requirements of cables of different specifications.

[0022] 3. In this invention, two sliding sleeves are rotatably connected, and the hinged structure of the elastic shaft and connecting rod not only enables linear displacement adjustment of the tension wheel, but also, when the rotor speed fluctuates, the elastic deformation of the elastic shaft and the slight rotation of the sliding sleeves counteract the tension impact caused by the speed fluctuation, avoiding twisting pitch deviation caused by sudden changes in cable tension. Simultaneously, the return spring automatically compensates for the displacement error of the sliding sleeves, ensuring the stability of tension adjustment. This solves the problems of easy jamming and significant influence of speed on adjustment accuracy in traditional adjustment mechanisms.

[0023] 4. The present invention uses a linkage structure to achieve synchronous linkage between the tension wheel and the guide wheel. After the cable feeding is completed, the wire bundle on the guide wheel can be pressed down so that subsequent cable feeding does not require manual adjustment, reducing the difficulty of manual operation and improving processing efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] This application discloses an intelligent twisting and cabling system for unshielded horizontal twisted-pair network cables. Please refer to... Figures 1-9 The intelligent twisting and cabling system for unshielded horizontal twisted-pair network cables includes a cable twisting mechanism 2, a guiding mechanism 3 and a cabling mechanism 4 installed on a base 1. The base 1 is also equipped with a driving mechanism 5 for driving the cable twisting mechanism 2.

[0037] The cable twisting mechanism 2 includes two cable racks 21, wire pulleys 22 with bearings mounted on the two cable racks 21, a vertical seat 26 located on one side of the two cable racks 21, a twisting ring 29, and a tensioning wheel 28. A wire pulley 27 is rotatably mounted inside the vertical seat 26. A connecting assembly cooperating with the drive mechanism 5 is provided between the two cable racks 21. Specifically, the connecting assembly includes two connecting shafts 24, with a connecting arm 23 fixed between the two connecting shafts 24. The same end of each connecting shaft 24 is fixed to one of the two connecting arms 23, and the other end of each shaft is fixed with a connecting arm. The gear 25 has a hollow interior for the twisted ring 29. In use, the spools 22 on the two cable racks 21 are mounted with bearings and can rotate flexibly. The single cable to be processed is wound on the spools 22. After one end of the cable is led out from the spool 22, it is first guided by the guide wheel 27, which is rotatably mounted inside the vertical seat 26, to change the direction of the cable. This allows the two cables to move symmetrically toward the tension wheel 28. At the same time, the guide wheel 27 is rotatably mounted with bearings, which can reduce the friction between the cable and the guide wheel 27, avoid wear on the cable surface, and ensure the appearance quality and transmission performance of the cable.

[0038] In this embodiment, the vertical seat 26 has an adjustment slide 211 inside, and the tension wheel 28 is externally mounted with a slide 210 that slides in cooperation with the adjustment slide 211.

[0039] To guide the cable, the guiding mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a mounting base 31 fixed to the upper surface of the base 1, a guiding component 32 and an adjusting component 33 disposed on the mounting base 31. The guiding component 32 includes two main guiding wheels 321 and two auxiliary guiding wheels 322. A driven wheel 323 lower than the auxiliary guiding wheel 322 is also disposed on one side of the mounting base 31. A mounting shaft 324 is fixed on the outer wall of the mounting base 31. Two inclined plates 325 are sleeved on the outer surface of the mounting shaft 324 and are used for mounting the two auxiliary guiding wheels 322 respectively. Two fastening rings 326 for fixing the inclined plates 325 are installed on the outer surface of the mounting shaft 324. Specifically, the inclined plate 325 in this embodiment is sleeved on the outer surface of the mounting shaft 324 and can rotate around the mounting shaft 324 to adjust the tilt angle. After adjusting to a suitable angle, it is tightened and fixed by the fastening rings 326 to ensure that the guiding angle of the auxiliary guiding wheel 322 is adapted to the direction of the twisted pair core.

[0040] It should be noted that after the twisted pair core is led out through the twisted pair ring 29, it is first guided by the auxiliary guide wheel 322, then passes between the two main guide wheels 321 for attitude correction, and finally is further guided by the driven wheel 323 before being transported to the cabling mechanism 4. The setting of the driven wheel 323 being lower than the auxiliary guide wheel 322 can create a slight tension transition in the cable, preventing the cable from loosening during the guiding process.

[0041] In this embodiment, the ends of the two main guide wheels 321 are slidably mounted inside the mounting base 31. The adjustment component 33 includes a dual-axis cylinder 331 fixed to the back of the mounting base 31. Wheel seats 332 are rotatably mounted on the ends of the two main guide wheels 321. A sliding groove 333 is provided inside the mounting base 31. The two wheel seats 332 are slidably engaged with the sliding groove 333. A buffer spring 335 is installed between the two wheel seats 332 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 333. The two output ends of the dual-axis cylinder 331 are respectively fixed with connecting plates 334 between the two wheel seats 332 and the outer walls of the two wheel seats 332. Specifically, when the dual-axis cylinder 331 is started, the two wheel seats 332 are driven to slide synchronously in opposite directions along the sliding groove 333 through the two connecting plates 334, thereby adjusting the distance between the two main guide wheels 321 to adapt to twisted wire cores of different thicknesses.

[0042] The cabling mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a cabling wheel 41 detachably mounted on the base 1, a drive motor 42 fixed on the base 1, a worm gear 43 fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor 42, and a worm wheel 44 fixed to one end of the cabling wheel 41 and meshing with the worm gear 43. Specifically, after the drive motor 42 starts, the output shaft drives the worm gear 43 to rotate. The worm gear 43 meshes with the worm wheel 44 for transmission. Since the transmission of the worm gear 43 and the worm wheel 44 has the characteristics of speed reduction and torque increase, the high-speed, low-torque power of the drive motor 42 can be converted into the low-speed, high-torque power of the cabling wheel 41, which drives the cabling wheel 41 to rotate smoothly. The twisted wire cores, after being corrected by the guide mechanism 3, enter the wire groove of the cabling wheel 41. Through the rotation of the cabling wheel 41, the final cabling of the twisted wire cores is completed, forming a standard unshielded horizontal twisted wire network cable.

[0043] The drive mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a second drive motor 51 and a sun gear 53 fixed on the outer wall of the other side of the base 1, and a transmission shaft 54 ​​with bearings mounted on the base 1. The output shaft of the second drive motor 51 and the end of the transmission shaft 54 ​​are both provided with transmission gears 52, and the two transmission gears 52 mesh with each other. The connecting arm 23 is fixed to the outer surface of the transmission shaft 54. Specifically, one side of the vertical seat 26 is fixed to the end of the transmission shaft 54, and the two traveling gears 25 are symmetrically distributed and both mesh with the sun gear 53. The transmission shaft 54 ​​passes through the interior of the sun gear 53. It should be noted that in the drive mechanism 5, the transmission shaft 54 ​​passes through the interior of the sun gear 53 and rotates with the sun gear 53. The two traveling gears 25 are symmetrically distributed and both mesh with the sun gear 53. When the drive motor 51 starts, the output shaft drives the transmission gear 52 on it to rotate. Through the meshing transmission of the two transmission gears 52, the transmission shaft 54 ​​is driven to rotate synchronously. The transmission shaft 54 ​​drives the connecting arm 23 fixed on the surface to rotate. The connecting arm 23 drives the two cable frames 21 to make synchronous circular motion around the transmission shaft 54 ​​through the two connecting shafts 24. At the same time, the traveling gears 25 mesh and rotate around the sun gear 53, further assisting the cable frame 21 to maintain a stable motion trajectory and providing stable power support for cable twisting.

[0044] To improve the cable twisting effect, an adjustment mechanism 6 for adjusting the position of the tension wheel 28 is provided between the two cable racks 21 in this embodiment. The adjustment mechanism 6 includes a rotor 61, two sliding sleeves 62, and abutment plates 63. The two sliding sleeves 62 are rotatably connected. An elastic shaft 64 is provided between the two abutment plates 63 and the rotor 61. Two connecting rods 65 are hinged between the two abutment plates 63 and one of the sliding sleeves 62. A return spring 67 is installed between the other sliding sleeve 62 and the vertical seat 26. A pull rod 66 that is hinged to the slide seat 210 is installed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 62 connected to the return spring 67.

[0045] It should be noted that the rotor 61 is fixed to the outer surface of the drive shaft 54, and the two sliding sleeves 62 are fitted onto the outer surface of the drive shaft 54. The drive shaft 54 ​​drives the rotor 61 to rotate, causing the two abutment plates 63 to move outward centrifugally, so that the two abutment plates 63 respectively come into contact with the outside of the two wire pulleys 22. Specifically, when the adjustment mechanism 6 is activated, the sliding sleeves 62 drive the slide block 210 to slide up and down along the adjustment slide port 211 through the pull rod 66, thereby driving the tension wheel 28 to move synchronously, realizing the dynamic adjustment of the cable tension. At the same time, the two sliding sleeves 62 are fitted onto the outer surface of the drive shaft 54, and the drive shaft 54 ​​drives the rotor 61 to rotate, causing the two abutment plates 63 to move outward centrifugally, so that the two abutment plates 63 respectively come into contact with the outside of the two wire pulleys 22, realizing the synchronous adaptation of the wire pulley 22's wire feeding speed and twisting speed.

[0046] To further explain, after the two cables are guided by the guide wheel 27 and tensioned by the tensioning wheel 28, they simultaneously enter the hollow twisted ring 29. As the two cable frames 21 move synchronously in a circular motion under the drive mechanism 5, and the traveling gear 25 meshes with the sun gear 53 for limiting, the movement trajectories of the two cable frames 21 remain symmetrical, thereby causing the two cables to rotate around each other. Through the limiting and guiding of the twisted ring 29, a twisted core with a uniform pitch is formed. The hollow design of the twisted ring 29 can prevent the cables from rubbing excessively against the ring wall during the twisting process, and at the same time, it is easy to observe the twisting state.

[0047] In this embodiment, the elastic shaft 64 is composed of a shaft and a spring, with the shaft extending into the interior of the rotor 61. The outer wall of the sliding sleeve 62, which is connected to the connecting rod 65, is fixed with a guide rod 68 extending into the interior of the rotor 61. The guide rod 68 can limit the sliding trajectory of the sliding sleeve 62, preventing the sliding sleeve 62 from deviating or jamming when sliding along the transmission shaft 54, and ensuring the stability of the adjustment mechanism 6.

[0048] To ensure subsequent guidance of the cable, the vertical seat 26 in this embodiment is provided with a linkage structure 7 that works in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism 6. The linkage structure 7 is driven by the adjustment mechanism 6 to adjust the displacement of the tension wheel 28. At the same time, the linkage structure 7 limits the guide wheel 27 by the displacement of the tension wheel 28.

[0049] The linkage structure 7 in this embodiment includes a sliding plate 71, a linkage gear 72, a first toothed plate 73, a second toothed plate 74, and a pressure block 76. The sliding plate 71 is slidably installed inside the vertical seat 26, and the end of the sliding plate 71 extends into the adjustment slide 211. The pressure block 76 is fixed to the end of the sliding plate 71. It should be noted that the cable contact end of the pressure block 76 with the guide wheel 27 is arc-shaped to fit the shape of the cable, increase the contact area, improve the limiting stability, and at the same time avoid scratching the surface of the cable.

[0050] In this embodiment, the linkage gear 72 is rotatably mounted on one side of the vertical seat 26. Both the first toothed plate 73 and the second toothed plate 74 mesh with the linkage gear 72. The first toothed plate 73 is fixed to the outer wall of the slide block 210, and a connecting frame 75 is fixed between the second toothed plate 74 and the sliding plate 71. The connecting frame 75 is made of a rigid material. Specifically, when the adjusting mechanism 6 is activated, the sliding sleeve 62 drives the slide block 210 to slide up and down along the adjusting slide opening 211 via the pull rod 66, thereby driving the tension wheel 28 to move. When the slide block 210 moves, the first toothed plate 73, fixed to its outer wall, moves synchronously. Since the first toothed plate 73 meshes with the linkage gear 72, it drives the linkage gear 72 to rotate around its own axis. When the linkage gear 72 rotates, it drives the second toothed plate 74, which meshes with it, to move in the opposite direction synchronously. When the first toothed plate 73 moves upward, the second toothed plate 74 moves downward, and vice versa.

[0051] As the second toothed plate 74 drives the slide plate 71 to slide along the inside of the vertical seat 26 through the connecting frame 75, the pressure block 76 at the end of the slide plate 71 moves synchronously to limit the cable on the guide wheel 27; when the tension wheel 28 moves upward and the cable tension increases, the pressure block 76 moves downward and presses the wire harness on the guide wheel 27; when the tension wheel 28 moves downward, the pressure block 76 moves upward and releases the wire harness on the guide wheel 27, always keeping the cable close to the guide wheel 27 so that the subsequent cable can be stably transported to the guide mechanism 3.

[0052] Combined with appendix Figures 1-9 The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0053] First, the drive mechanism 5 provides power. The drive motor 51 drives the drive shaft 54 ​​to rotate through two meshing transmission gears 52. The drive shaft 54 ​​fixes the connecting arm 23 and drives the two cable racks 21 to move synchronously through the connecting shaft 24. At this time, the wire pulleys 22 on the two cable racks 21 release a single cable. The cable is guided by the guide pulley 27 inside the vertical seat 26, passes through the tensioning pulley 28, and enters the twisting ring 29. The cable rack 21 moves under the drive of the drive mechanism 5 and works with the twisting ring 29 to achieve precise twisting of the two cables to form a twisted core. The traveling gear 25 assists in adjusting the movement accuracy of the cable rack 21 to ensure uniform twisting pitch.

[0054] When the connecting shaft 24 rotates, the fixed rotor 61 provides power to the adjusting mechanism 6. First, when the transmission shaft 54 ​​drives the rotor 61 to rotate, the rotor 61 drives the two abutment plates 63 to move through the elastic shaft 64. The abutment plates 63 drive the sliding sleeves 62, which are hinged to them, to slide along the transmission shaft 54 ​​through the connecting rod 65. The two abutment plates 63 respectively fit against the outside of the two wire wheels 22, playing a certain stabilizing role. At the same time, the two sliding sleeves 62 are rotatably connected, and with the elastic force of the return spring 67, the sliding sleeves 62 drive the pull rod 66 to move. The pull rod 66 is connected to the slide seat 210, and the slide seat 210 slides along the adjusting slide port 211 on the vertical seat 26, thereby adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel 28 to achieve dynamic tensioning of the twisted wire core and avoid cable slack or excessive stretching.

[0055] After twisting and tensioning, the wire cores are further guided and shaped by the guide mechanism 3. The main guide wheel 321 and the auxiliary guide wheel 322 on the mounting base 31 work in conjunction with the driven wheel 323 to correct the posture of the twisted wire cores. The dual-axis cylinder 331 drives the wheel seat 332 to slide along the slide groove 333 through the connecting plate 334 to adjust the distance between the two main guide wheels 321. The buffer spring 335 plays a role in buffering and shock absorption. The corrected wire cores enter the cabling mechanism 4. The drive motor 42 drives the worm gear 43 to rotate. The worm gear 43 meshes with the worm wheel 44, which drives the cabling wheel 41 to rotate, completing the final cabling of the twisted wire cores and forming an unshielded horizontal twisted wire network cable.

[0056] When the wire harness is finished being cabled, the slide 210 drives the first toothed plate 73 fixed thereto to move. The first toothed plate 73 meshes with the linkage gear 72, driving the linkage gear 72 to rotate. The linkage gear 72 further drives the second toothed plate 74 to move. The second toothed plate 74 drives the slide plate 71 to slide along the inside of the vertical seat 26 through the connecting frame 75. The pressure block 76 at the end of the slide plate 71 moves synchronously to limit the guide wheel 27 and press the wire harness on the guide wheel 27 so that the cable can be transported again in the future.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
