Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial cable binding technology, and in particular to an industrial cable binding device and method. Background Technology

[0002] As the physical bridge for signal transmission and power supply, the reliability of cables directly affects the success or failure of the entire system engineering project. The outer protective sheath of the cable plays a crucial role in protecting the internal conductors, insulation layers, and other core components from harsh environmental factors such as humidity, high temperature, corrosion, and mechanical damage, ensuring the normal operation and service life of the cable.

[0003] Currently, the binding and securing of cable protective sleeves still relies primarily on manual labor in most industrial settings, with workers using tools such as cable ties, tape, or ropes to bundle the cable protective sleeves one by one. However, as modern industrial production increasingly pursues efficiency, quality, and automation, this traditional manual binding method has revealed many inherent drawbacks.

[0004] First, manual binding is extremely inefficient. The large-scale production, laying, and subsequent maintenance of cables require significant time and labor costs. Workers binding cables one by one is not only slow, but as working hours increase, operator fatigue can lead to decreased concentration, resulting in errors or rework, severely impacting the overall project progress.

[0005] Secondly, the quality stability and consistency of manual binding are difficult to guarantee. Significant differences in the operating techniques, skill levels, and applied force among different workers result in inconsistent binding tightness, spacing, and appearance. This variability may cause the protective sleeve to loosen prematurely during use, weakening its protective effect on the internal conductors. Especially under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong vibration, a loose protective sleeve cannot effectively resist external damage, increasing the risk of damage to the cable's internal conductors and insulation, thus affecting the performance and reliability of the entire system.

[0006] Furthermore, as modern industry demands increasingly higher levels of automation and intelligence in production processes, the inefficiency and instability of manual cable binding have become bottlenecks restricting further improvements in production efficiency and the perfection of quality control systems. In highly integrated automated production lines, a solution is needed that can quickly, accurately, and reliably complete cable binding tasks to ensure smooth production cycles and consistent product quality.

[0007] Therefore, developing a specialized device that can overcome the many drawbacks of manual binding and achieve fast, stable, and automated binding of cable protective sleeves has become an urgent need in the current industrial field. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art, namely, the low efficiency and unstable binding quality of manual cable binding. Therefore, the present invention provides an industrial cable binding device and a corresponding binding method.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an industrial cable binding device, comprising: a clamping device for fixing the cable to be bound; a linear drive device; and a winding mechanism mounted on the linear drive device, the winding mechanism comprising: a turntable having an opening allowing the cable to pass through; a coil mounting portion disposed on the turntable for mounting a binding coil; a turntable drive assembly for driving the turntable to rotate about its own axis; and the linear drive device for driving the winding mechanism to move axially along the cable.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the cable is fixed by a clamping device, and the winding mechanism moves along the cable axis under the drive of a linear drive device. At the same time, the turntable drives the binding wire coil to rotate around the cable in a circular motion, thereby automatically winding the binding wire around the cable in a spiral shape. This solution has a compact structure, automates the binding process, significantly improves binding efficiency, and ensures the uniformity and consistency of the binding.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping device includes a first finger cylinder and a second finger cylinder arranged opposite to each other, which are used to clamp both ends of the cable and the end of the binding wire. Using finger cylinders as the clamping device provides rapid response, stable and reliable clamping force, and facilitates integration with automated control systems.

[0012] Furthermore, the linear drive device is a lead screw slide module, which includes: a profile body; a first motor mounted on one end of the profile body via a motor mounting plate; a ball screw, one end of which is connected to the output shaft of the first motor via a first coupling; a lead screw nut screwed onto the ball screw, with the two being threadedly engaged; a slide seat fitted onto the ball screw and securely connected to the lead screw nut; and the winding mechanism is fixedly mounted on the slide seat. The lead screw slide module has the advantages of high positioning accuracy, smooth movement, and strong load capacity, and can precisely control the moving speed and displacement of the winding mechanism during the binding process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the binding pitch.

[0013] Furthermore, the ball screw slide module also includes a guide rail and a slide support block; the guide rail is fixedly installed on the top surface of the profile body; the slide support block is fixedly installed on the bottom of the slide, and the slide support block slides in conjunction with the guide rail. As a guiding element, the guide rail, through the sliding pair formed by the guide rail and the slide support block, further improves the straightness and stability of the slide's movement, while preventing the slide from rotating around the axis of the ball screw.

[0014] Furthermore, the turntable is a C-shaped turntable; the turntable drive assembly includes: a second motor; a belt drive pulley, which is driven by the output shaft of the second motor; at least one belt driven pulley; a belt, which is wrapped around the belt drive pulley and the belt driven pulley; the outer circumferential surface of the C-shaped turntable abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the belt and is pressed together by the pressure applied by the belt; the second motor drives the belt drive pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the C-shaped turntable to rotate via the belt. The C-shaped turntable structure allows cables to enter and exit through its opening. The belt drive method is low-noise, provides smooth transmission, and has overload slippage protection to prevent damage to equipment or cables due to accidental jamming.

[0015] Furthermore, the winding mechanism also includes a winding mechanism fixing plate and multiple guide wheels; the guide wheels are rotatably mounted on the winding mechanism fixing plate; the edge of the C-shaped turntable is accommodated in the groove of the guide wheel. The guide wheels provide radial support and axial positioning for the C-shaped turntable, ensuring its stability during high-speed rotation, reducing wobbling, and improving winding accuracy.

[0016] Furthermore, the coil mounting part is a coil fixing shaft fixedly mounted on the end face of the C-shaped turntable; the binding wire coil is a nylon coil, and the nylon coil is sleeved on the coil fixing shaft; a nut is screwed onto the cantilever end of the coil fixing shaft for axially pressing the nylon coil. This structure is simple, facilitates quick replacement and locking of the nylon coil, and adapts to the usage requirements of binding wires of different specifications.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a first guide hook, a second guide hook, and a support base; the clamping device is mounted on the top surface of the support base; the first guide hook is mounted on the winding mechanism fixing plate; the second guide hook is mounted on the support base; the first and second guide hooks are used to temporarily fix and guide the binding wire at the initial stage of the binding operation. The design of the guide hooks simplifies the initial wiring operation and improves the convenience and safety of the operation.

[0018] Secondly, the present invention also provides an industrial cable bundling method, which uses the above-mentioned industrial cable bundling equipment and includes the following steps: S1. Installation and wiring steps: Install the binding wire coil on the coil mounting part; fix the cable to be bound on the clamping device; lead out the binding wire from the binding wire coil and fix the wire end on the clamping device; S2. Clamping and fixing step: Activate the clamping device to clamp the ends of the cable and the binding wire; S3. Winding Step: Start the turntable drive assembly to drive the turntable to rotate, and at the same time start the linear drive device to drive the winding mechanism to move along the axial direction of the cable to wind binding wire around the outer periphery of the cable to form a wire loop. S4. Binding and fixing steps: After the wire is wrapped, tighten both ends of the binding wire to lock the binding knot.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S4, the second end of the binding thread is inserted into the formed U-shaped opening and then tightened to hide the binding knot inside the coil.

[0020] After step S4, there is also a step S5, a cutting step: cutting off the excess length of the binding thread ends to complete the final binding shape.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: (1) Significantly improve binding efficiency: Through automated turntable rotation winding and linear drive device feeding, continuous and fast binding operation is realized, replacing the traditional inefficient manual binding one by one, which greatly improves the production efficiency of cable protective sleeve binding.

[0022] (2) Ensure the stability and consistency of binding quality: The equipment uses a motor drive to precisely control the number of turns, pitch and tension of the winding, eliminating the influence of differences in manual operation techniques and force, ensuring that the binding tightness and appearance of each cable can reach a uniform high standard, effectively reducing the risk of cable damage due to loose binding.

[0023] (3) Adapting to the needs of modern automated production: The present invention has a compact structure and is easy to integrate into existing automated production lines. Its workflow can be precisely controlled by the control system, which meets the requirements of modern industry for automated and intelligent production processes, and ensures smooth production rhythm and overall efficiency.

[0024] (4) Easy to operate and reliable structure: The overall structure of the equipment is simple and reasonable. The main components are all made of mature standard parts or easy-to-process parts, the manufacturing cost is controllable, and the maintenance is convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0045] Combination Figures 1 to 15 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an industrial cable binding device and method.

[0046] Firstly, this embodiment provides an industrial cable binding device, which mainly includes: a clamping device, a linear drive device, and a winding mechanism 9, as well as a base plate 6 and a support base 5. The support base 5 is an inverted U-shaped base, which is fastened to the top surface of the base plate 6 with screws. The base plate 6, as the base of the entire device, is made of stainless steel and provides a stable mounting platform.

[0047] The clamping device is used to secure the cable 7 to be bound. In this embodiment, the clamping device includes a first finger cylinder 3 and a second finger cylinder 8 arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, the first finger cylinder 3 is mounted on the top surface of the left end of the support base 5 via a first L-shaped fixing bracket 1 and a second L-shaped fixing bracket 4. The horizontal plates of the first L-shaped fixing bracket 1 and the second L-shaped fixing bracket 4 are fastened to the support base 5 with screws. The first finger cylinder 3 is clamped between the vertical plates of the first L-shaped fixing bracket 1 and the second L-shaped fixing bracket 4 and fastened to them with screws. Similarly, the second finger cylinder 8 is mounted on the top surface of the right end of the support base 5 via a third L-shaped fixing bracket 10 and a fourth L-shaped fixing bracket 11. The horizontal plates of the third L-shaped fixing bracket 10 and the fourth L-shaped fixing bracket 11 are fastened to the support base 5 with screws. The second finger cylinder 8 is clamped between the vertical plates of the third L-shaped fixing bracket 10 and the fourth L-shaped fixing bracket 11 and fastened to them with screws. The first finger cylinder 3 and the second finger cylinder 8 are used to firmly clamp both ends of the cable 7 to be bound before and during binding, and can also clamp the initial end of the binding wire. The finger cylinders are standard parts and can be AirTAC HFZ series finger cylinders, which will not be described in detail here.

[0048] In this embodiment, the linear drive device is a lead screw slide module 2, which is fixedly installed on the support base plate 6 and located on one side of the support base 5, parallel to the support base 5. The winding mechanism 9 is fixedly installed on the slide block 209 of the lead screw slide module 2. The lead screw slide module 2 is used to drive the winding mechanism 9 as a whole along the axial direction of the cable 7 (i.e., Figure 1It performs precise linear reciprocating motion in the X direction.

[0049] Please combine Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the specific structure of the lead screw slide module 2 is as follows: The ball screw slide module 2 includes: profile body 205, back baffle 201, first motor 213, ball screw 208, slide 209, guide rail 217, slide support block 216, etc.

[0050] A rear baffle 201 is fastened to the left end of the profile body 205 with screws, and a motor mounting plate 212 is fastened to the right end with screws. The first motor 213 is fastened to the right end face of the motor mounting plate 212 with screws. Both the rear baffle 201 and the motor mounting plate 212 are fastened to the top surface of the base plate 6 with screws.

[0051] A first deep groove ball bearing 207 is installed on the rear baffle 201 to support the left end of the ball screw 208. A bearing housing 210 is fastened to the top surface of the right end of the profile body 205 by screws, and a second deep groove ball bearing 215 is installed in the mounting hole of the bearing housing 210 to support the right end of the ball screw 208.

[0052] To reduce the impact of movement, a pair of first anti-collision rubber blocks 206 are installed on the right side of the rear baffle 201, and a pair of second anti-collision rubber blocks 214 are installed on the left end face of the bearing seat 210. When the slide 209 moves to its leftmost extreme position, the slide 209 abuts against the first anti-collision rubber block 206; when the slide 209 moves to its rightmost extreme position, the slide 209 abuts against the second anti-collision rubber block 214; the first anti-collision rubber blocks 206 and the second anti-collision rubber blocks 214 serve to cushion the slide 209.

[0053] The guide rail 217 is fixedly mounted to the top surface of the profile body 205 by screws. The slide support block 216 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 217 and can slide along the guide rail 217. The slide support block 216 is fastened to the bottom of the slide 209 by screws. The winding mechanism 9 is fixedly mounted to the top surface of the slide 209.

[0054] The two ends of the ball screw 208 are respectively mounted in the first deep groove ball bearing 207 and the second deep groove ball bearing 215. A screw nut 218 is screwed onto the ball screw 208, and the two are threadedly engaged. A slide 209 is sleeved on the ball screw 208, and the screw nut 218 is fastened to the right end face of the slide 209 by screws. The output shaft of the first motor 213 is connected to the right end of the ball screw 208 as a whole through the first coupling 211.

[0055] During operation, the first motor 213 starts, driving the ball screw 208 to rotate. Since the screw nut 218 on the ball screw 208 is fixedly connected to the slide 209, and the slide 209 is restricted to linear motion on the guide rail 217 by the slide support block 216, the rotational motion of the ball screw 208 is converted into linear motion of the slide 209 along the guide rail 217. To precisely control the movement position, a sensor 204 is installed on the slide 209, and a photoelectric switch 202 is installed on the side of the profile body 205 via a sensor bracket 203. The sensor 204 and the photoelectric switch 202 work together to detect and position the movement of the slide 209.

[0056] In this embodiment, the winding mechanism 9 is specifically configured as follows: the winding mechanism 9 includes: a winding mechanism fixing plate 911, a turntable (in this embodiment, a C-shaped turntable 910), a turntable drive assembly, a coil mounting part (in this embodiment, a coil fixing shaft 909), a first guide hook 905, and a second guide hook 906.

[0057] The winding mechanism fixing plate 911 is made of stainless steel and serves as the skeleton of the entire winding mechanism. It has a C-shaped through-hole slot to facilitate the cable 7 passing through and entering the opening of the C-shaped turntable 910. The lower end of the winding mechanism fixing plate 911 is fastened to the top surface of the slide block 209 with screws.

[0058] On the winding mechanism fixing plate 911, multiple side bearings 916 are mounted in pairs. Specifically, the winding mechanism fixing plate 911 has eight through holes, and a pair of side bearings 916 are interference-fitted into each through hole, for a total of eight pairs of side bearings 916. Stepped shafts 917 are installed in these side bearings, for a total of eight stepped shafts 917. These stepped shafts 917 are used to install four guide pulleys 904, three belt driven pulleys 913, and one belt drive pulley 924.

[0059] The turntable drive assembly includes a second motor 901, a belt drive pulley 924, a belt driven pulley 913, and a belt 912. The belt 912 is wound around the three belt driven pulleys 913 and the belt drive pulley 924. The C-shaped turntable 910 is also made of stainless steel. The edge of the C-shaped turntable 910 is accommodated in the grooves of four guide pulleys 904, and the outer cylindrical surface of the C-shaped turntable 910 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the belt 912. The belt 912 is tightly pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the C-shaped turntable 910 by its own tension. Thus, the C-shaped turntable 910 operates by the static friction between itself and the belt 912.

[0060] Four motor mounting rods 914 are welded to the left end face of the winding mechanism fixing plate 911. The second motor 901 is fixedly mounted on the four motor mounting rods 914 with screws. The output shaft of the second motor 901 is connected to the stepped shaft 917 where the belt drive pulley 924 is located through the second coupling 915. Therefore, when the second motor 901 starts, its torque is transmitted to the belt drive pulley 924 through the second coupling 915 and the stepped shaft 917 where the belt drive pulley 924 is located. The belt drive pulley 924 rotates and drives the belt 912 to move. The moving belt 912 then drives the C-shaped turntable 910 to rotate around its own axis by friction. The guide wheel 904 plays a supporting and guiding role for the C-shaped turntable 910 in this process, ensuring its smooth rotation.

[0061] The coil mounting part is a coil fixing shaft 909 fixedly mounted on the right end face of the C-shaped turntable 910. The binding wire coil is a nylon coil 902, and the nylon coil 902 is sleeved on the coil fixing shaft 909. A nut 903 is screwed onto the cantilever end of the coil fixing shaft 909 to axially compress the nylon coil 902. By adjusting the tightness of the nut 903, the damping of the nylon coil 902 rotating around the coil fixing shaft 909 can be controlled. When the C-shaped turntable 910 rotates, the nylon coil 902 will follow it and move in a circular motion around the axis, thereby winding the binding wire onto the cable 7 passing through the opening of the C-shaped turntable.

[0062] The first guide hook 905 is made of a bent stainless steel shaft and is fixedly installed on the winding mechanism fixing plate 911. The second guide hook 906 is also made of a bent stainless steel shaft and is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support base 5. These two guide hooks serve as temporary fixation and guidance during initial wiring.

[0063] Secondly, this embodiment also provides a method for cable bundling using the aforementioned industrial cable bundling equipment. The method includes the following detailed steps: Step S1, Installation and Wiring Steps: First, the winding mechanism 9 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the slide block 209 of the lead screw slide module 2 via its winding mechanism fixing plate 911. Based on the actual binding amount, the nylon coil 902 is locked and fixed to the coil fixing shaft 909 by the nut 903. One end of the cable 7 to be bound is placed on the jaws of the first finger cylinder 3, and the other end is placed on the jaws of the second finger cylinder 8. Then, manual wiring is performed: a certain length of binding wire is manually pulled from the nylon coil 902 and hooked onto the second guide hook 906 to form a fixed long wire 923. The end of this fixed long wire 923 (i.e., the first wire end 920) is placed at the jaws of the first finger cylinder 3. Simultaneously, the starting section of the binding wire (i.e., the initial wire 922) is manually wound around the first guide hook 905. At this point, the initial wiring work is completed.

[0064] Step S2, Clamping and Fixing Steps: Activate the first finger cylinder 3 and the second finger cylinder 8 to close their jaws, thereby firmly clamping and fixing both ends of the cable 7 and the first wire end 920. The first wire end 920 is clamped in the jaws of the first finger cylinder 3.

[0065] Step S3, winding steps: The second motor 901 is started. The second motor 901 drives the belt drive pulley 924 to rotate, which in turn drives the C-shaped turntable 910 to rotate around its own axis via the belt 912. Simultaneously, the first motor 213 of the lead screw slide module 2 is started. The first motor 213 drives the ball screw 208 to rotate, thereby driving the entire winding mechanism 9 along the axial direction of the cable 7. Figure 1 (In the X direction) it moves at the set speed.

[0066] The rotational motion of the C-shaped turntable 910 and the linear motion of the winding mechanism 9 combine to cause the binding thread released from the nylon coil 902 to be tightly wound around the outer periphery of the cable 7 in a spiral form. The pitch of the coil formed by the binding thread on the cable 7 is determined by the relative relationship between the rotational speed of the second motor 901 and the rotational speed of the first motor 213. The operator can preset the speed ratio between the two according to actual needs (such as binding density requirements). The movement displacement of the winding mechanism 9 is also preset according to the length of cable 7 that needs to be bound.

[0067] Step S4, Binding and Fixing Steps: When the winding mechanism 9 completes its predetermined travel distance, it winds the cable 7 into the desired shape. Figure 15 After the spiral coil 908 is completed, the equipment stops operating. At this time, the second end 921 of the binding wire (i.e., the free end formed after the nylon coil 902 is cut off) is manually passed through the binding wire at the position of the second guide hook 906 to form a U-shaped opening 907. Then, the first end 920 and the second end 921 are tightened by hand or with an auxiliary tool. As the tension increases, the formed binding knot (i.e., the binding knot formed by the second end 921 and the U-shaped opening 907) will gradually slide into and hide inside the coil, closely adhering to the surface of the cable 7. Because the first end 920 and the second end 921 are subjected to pre-tension, the inner binding knot will be pressed tighter, thereby effectively preventing the binding knot from falling off during use.

[0068] Step S5, Cutting steps: Trim off any excess length from the first wire end 920 and the second wire end 921 using scissors or other tools. This completes the binding and securing of the protective sheath for one cable. The resulting cable harness has a neat and tight appearance, as shown below. Figure 15 As shown ( Figure 15The second lead 921 has not yet passed through the U-shaped opening 907.

[0069] Parameter adjustment and adaptability: In practical applications, the speeds of the second motor 901 and the first motor 213 can be flexibly adjusted according to the diameter of the cable 7, protection requirements, and the material of the binding wire. For example, when dense winding (small pitch) is required, the speed of the C-shaped turntable 910 can be increased or the moving speed of the winding mechanism 9 can be decreased; conversely, when sparse winding (large pitch) is required, the speeds can be increased or decreased. This adjustment can be easily achieved through a PLC or microcontroller control system without replacing any mechanical parts.

[0070] Furthermore, the diameter of the coil fixing shaft 909 can be adapted to the inner diameter of the nylon coil 902. By replacing the coil fixing shaft 909 with different specifications or using a reducing sleeve, it can be compatible with various specifications of binding wire coils. The clamping force of the guide wheel 904 and the belt 912 can also be changed by adjusting the tension of the belt 912.

[0071] In summary, the industrial cable binding equipment and method provided by this invention utilizes an automated mechanism to achieve rapid and stable binding of cable protective sleeves, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of low efficiency and poor consistency of manual binding, and has good prospects for industrial application.
