[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable winding technology, and more specifically to an automated cable winding machine. Background Technology

[0002] After the cable is processed and shaped or when it is recycled after use, a winding machine is needed to complete the winding. A conventional winding machine includes a support frame and a winding drum. The support frame is equipped with a drive motor, which drives the winding drum to rotate and complete the winding of the cable.

[0003] However, existing winding machines have the following problems in use: First, when the winding drum is winding the cable, there is no corresponding cable management mechanism, which may cause the cable to accumulate outside the winding drum; and after winding is completed, the machine needs to be stopped to cut the cable, which requires manual cutting of the cable and cannot be mechanized.

[0004] Secondly, a new take-up drum needs to be replaced after winding is completed. The existing take-up drum installation structure is relatively complicated and cannot achieve quick replacement of the take-up drum.

[0005] Third, existing winding machines lack a corresponding cleaning mechanism for winding used cables. The used cables, along with dust and debris, are directly wrapped around the winding drum, making them unsuitable for reuse. Summary of the Invention

The inserts are all arranged in the radial direction, and each insert is connected to an insert moving mechanism, which drives the insert to move radially. Multiple slots are arranged on the circumferential side of the end of the take-up drum, and the position and number of the slots correspond one-to-one with the inserts. When the take-up drum is fixed, the end of the take-up drum is placed in the circular groove area, and the insert block is inserted into the slot under the action of the insert block moving mechanism; when the take-up drum is disassembled, the insert block leaves the slot under the action of the insert block moving mechanism.

[0023] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment provides an automated cable winding machine, including a base 1 and a support frame 2 fixed on the base. The support frame 2 is provided with a winding drum mounting position and a winding drum rotation mechanism. The winding drum 4 is detachably installed in the winding drum mounting position, and the winding drum 4 is driven to rotate by the winding drum rotation mechanism, thereby realizing the winding of the cable 3.

[0026] Specifically, with the central axis of the take-up drum 4 as the front-to-back direction, the take-up drum mounting position includes two symmetrically arranged clamps 19. The clamps 19 are mounted on the support frame via a horizontal moving mechanism, and the clamps are connected to the take-up drum rotation mechanism. During installation, both ends of the take-up drum 4 are detachably fixed to the two clamps 19.

[0027] The horizontal movement mechanism includes a horizontally moving cylinder 6 extending in the front-to-back direction. The cylinder barrel of the horizontally moving cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the support frame 2, and the piston portion of the horizontally moving cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 19. The winding drum rotation mechanism includes a rotary motor 5 fixedly mounted on the support frame 2, and the rotary motor 5 is drively connected to the cylinder barrel of one of the horizontally moving cylinders. In this embodiment, the piston rod of the horizontally moving cylinder 6 is a splined shaft structure, which neither affects the horizontal extension and retraction of the piston rod nor hinders the smooth transmission of power from the rotary motor 5 to the clamping plate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the clamp 19 is as follows: A circular groove area 22 is provided in the central area of ​​the clamp 19. The inner diameter of the circular groove area 22 is larger than the diameter of both ends of the winding drum 4. When winding the cable 3, both ends of the winding drum 4 are placed inside the groove 22. Furthermore, multiple inserts 32 are arranged around the circular groove area 22 on the clamp. The inserts 32 are all arranged in the radial direction, and each insert 32 is connected to an insert moving mechanism, which drives the insert 32 to move radially. Multiple slots 21 are arranged on the circumferential side of the end of the winding drum 4. The position and number of slots 21 correspond one-to-one with the inserts 32. The inserts 32 and slots 21 cooperate with each other, and the diameter of the insert 32 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the slot 21, so that the insert 32 can be inserted into the interior of the slot 21.

[0029] When the take-up drum is fixed, the end of the take-up drum 4 is placed in the circular groove area 22, and the insert block 32 is inserted into the slot 21 under the action of the insert block moving mechanism; when the take-up drum is disassembled, the insert block 32 leaves the slot 21 under the action of the insert block moving mechanism, and a new take-up drum can be replaced.

[0030] In this embodiment, the insert moving mechanism includes a hollow disk 27 disposed inside the clamping plate 19. The hollow disk 27 is located outside the circular groove area and is concentrically disposed therewith. Several arc-shaped grooves 29 with the same center as the hollow disk are arranged on the hollow disk 27. Limiting posts 23 are fixed inside the clamping plate 19 at positions corresponding to the arc-shaped grooves 29. The limiting posts 23 pass through the arc-shaped grooves 29.

[0031] The clamping plate 19 is also equipped with a block moving cylinder 31. The piston end of the block moving cylinder 31 is rotatably connected to the solid part of the hollow plate 27. The extension and retraction of the block moving cylinder 31 drives the hollow plate 27 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. During the rotation, the arc-shaped groove 29 and the limiting post 23 provide guidance.

[0032] The inside of the clamp 19 is provided with radially arranged grooves 24 at positions corresponding to the insert block 32. A slider 25 is slidably disposed inside the groove 24, and the slider 25 is fixedly connected to the corresponding insert block 32. A spring 26 is installed between the slider 25 and the radially outer end of the groove 24. One end of the spring 26 is fixedly connected to the slider 25, and the other end of the spring 26 is fixedly connected to the radially outer end of the groove 24.

[0033] The hollow disc 27 has inclined grooves 28 arranged on its inner circumference. The position and number of the inclined grooves 28 correspond one-to-one with the insertion blocks 32. Each insertion block 32 is fixed with a cylindrical protrusion 33, which is located inside the inclined groove 28.

[0034] The installation and removal principle of take-up drum 4 at the take-up drum mounting position is as follows: The distance between the two clamping plates 19 can be easily adjusted by extending and retracting the two horizontally moving cylinders 6. Adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 19 can accommodate take-up drums 4 of different lengths. After that, the take-up drum 4 needs to be fixed. The specific fixing is as follows: the piston end of the insert moving cylinder 31 extends and drives the hollow disc 27 to rotate. At the same time, the insert moving cylinder 31 will also rotate accordingly. The arc groove 29 rotates along the limit post 23 to provide guiding support for the rotation of the hollow disc 27. Since the protrusion 33 is located inside the inclined groove 28, when the hollow disc 27 rotates, the inclined groove 28 rotates and presses one end of the insert block 32. Then the slider 25 moves in the sliding groove 24 and stretches the spring 26. The slider 25 moves the insert block 32. Then the four insert blocks 32 move synchronously into the slot 21 of the take-up drum 4, completing the fixing of the take-up drum 4.

[0035] After the take-up drum 4 completes the winding task of the cable 3, it needs to be disassembled and replaced with a new take-up drum 4. When disassembling, the piston end of the insert block moving cylinder 31 retracts, causing the hollow disc 27 to rotate in the opposite direction. Then, the pressure of the inclined groove 28 on the protrusion 33 disappears. At this time, the spring 26 resets, causing the slider 25 to move in the opposite direction to the insert block 32. Then, the four insert blocks 32 move out of the slot 21. After that, the horizontal moving cylinder 6 moves in the opposite direction with the two clamping discs 19. Then, the take-up drum 4 can be easily disassembled.

[0036] The above operations facilitate the quick installation and removal of the winding drum 4.

[0037] The support frame 2 has cable management mechanisms installed on the left and right sides of the winding drum mounting position. One of the cable management mechanisms is used for winding and managing new cables, and is called the first cable management mechanism 111. The other cable management mechanism is used for winding and managing used cables, and is called the second cable management mechanism 112.

[0038] The first and second cable management mechanisms have basically the same structure, including a linear guide rail and a linear movement mechanism arranged parallel to the central axis of the take-up drum 4. The linear guide rail 8 is provided with a cable management seat 11 that is slidably connected to it. The cable management seat 11 moves back and forth along the linear guide rail 8 under the drive of the linear movement mechanism. The cable management seat 11 is provided with a cable groove 12. When the cable is wound up, it passes through the cable groove and is wrapped around the take-up drum. The cable management seat 11 is also provided with a cable cutting structure at the position corresponding to the cable groove 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the linear movement mechanism includes a threaded rod 7 arranged parallel to the linear guide rail 8, a threaded block 9 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 7, and the threaded block 9 is fixedly connected to the cable management seat 11.

[0040] The two threaded rods 7 of the two cable management mechanisms can rotate synchronously via belt drive. A linear motion motor 47 is mounted on the outside of the support frame 2, and the output end of the linear motion motor 47 is connected to one of the threaded rods.

[0041] When the cable management mechanism is working, one end of the cable 3 is passed through the cable groove 12, and then the end is wound around the take-up drum 4. At this time, the rotary motor 5 starts and drives the take-up drum 4 to rotate. At the same time, the linear motor 47 rotates back and forth, causing the cable management seat 11 to move horizontally back and forth. When the cable management seat 11 moves horizontally back and forth, it carries the cable 3 along the take-up drum 4, so that when the take-up drum 4 winds up the cable 3, it winds it from one side to the other to prevent accumulation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cable management base 11 has an installation cavity 18 communicating with the cable trough 12. The installation cavity 18 is connected to the cable trough 12. The cable cutting structure includes a support block 14 fixed at the center of the top of the installation cavity 18 and a cutting cylinder 13 fixed at the top of the cable management base 11. The support block 14 is located directly above the cable trough 12, and the piston end of the cutting cylinder 13 passes through the support block 14 and is fixed with a movable block 15. Shearing blades 16 are respectively provided on both sides of the support block 14, and the upper end of the shearing blades 16 is rotatably connected to the support block 14; a cutting area is formed between the two shearing blades 16, and the cutting area covers the cable trough 12. Connecting rods 17 are rotatably connected to both sides of the movable block 15, and the other end of the connecting rods 17 is rotatably connected to the middle of the shearing blades 16.

[0043] After winding, the machine stops, and then the piston end of the shearing cylinder 13 retracts, causing the movable block 15 to rise. The rise of the movable block 15 drives the two connecting rods 17 to rotate in opposite directions. When the two connecting rods 17 rotate in opposite directions, the two shearing blades 16 rotate in opposite directions. The mounting cavity 18 provides space for the shearing blades 16 to rotate in the wire groove 12. The cable 3 is automatically cut by the opposite rotation of the two shearing blades 16 without manual operation. Afterwards, the wound take-up drum 4 is disassembled and replaced with a new take-up drum 4.

[0044] A processing box 34 is provided on one side of the second cable management mechanism on the base. The processing box 34 is used to treat surface impurities of second-hand cables.

[0045] The processing box 34 includes an inlet hole 351 on one side and an outlet hole 352 on the other side. The inner cavity of the processing box is provided with a straightening structure, a spraying structure and a drying structure along the cable travel path.

[0046] The straightening structure includes an upper pressing roller group 411 and a lower pressing roller group 412 arranged opposite to each other. The lower pressing roller group 412 is fixed inside the processing box 34 and cannot move. The upper pressing roller group 411 is connected to the processing box through a straightening cylinder 38 and moves with the piston end of the straightening cylinder.

[0047] The spray structure includes a water tank 36 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the treatment chamber, and a filter screen 37 installed inside the water tank 36. A high-pressure nozzle 39 is fixed at the top of the inner cavity of the treatment chamber 36. A water pump 42 is fixed at the top of the inner cavity of the treatment chamber 34, and the water pump 42 is connected to a water pipe 43. One end of the water pipe 43 is located inside the water tank 36, and the other end of the water pipe 43 is connected to the high-pressure nozzle 39.

[0048] A guide wheel 44 is provided between the spraying structure and the drying structure to plan the cable path. The drying structure includes an air nozzle 45 installed downstream of the guide wheel 44 at the cable path. A dryer is installed on one side of the treatment box 34, and the dryer is connected to the air nozzle 45 through an exhaust pipe. A cotton sleeve 46 is provided inside the treatment box 34 at the cable outlet 352, and the cotton sleeve 46 is replaceable.

[0049] The treatment box 34 is rotatably equipped with a cover plate on its side. The treatment box 34 can be opened through the cover plate to facilitate cleaning of the filter screen 37 and replacement of the cotton sleeve 46. The treatment box 34 is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet is located at the top of the water tank 36, and the water outlet is located at the bottom of the water tank 36.

[0050] When the processing box is working, the straightening cylinder 38 lowers the upper pressure roller group 411. The distance between the upper pressure roller group 411 and the lower pressure roller group 412 can be adjusted to accommodate cables 3 of different diameters. As the cable 3 moves, the upper pressure roller group 411 and the lower pressure roller group 412 straighten the bent cable 3. At the same time, the water pump 42 draws water from the water tank 36 into the high-pressure nozzle 39 through the water pipe 43 and sprays it out, which helps to remove impurities from the surface of the used cable 3. The water that removes impurities passes through the filter screen 37, and after filtering out internal impurities, it returns to the water tank 36. Then, it re-enters the high-pressure nozzle 39 through the water pump 42, which helps to complete the water recycling. After that, the dryer starts and hot air enters the jet nozzle 45 through the exhaust pipe and sprays it out. The exhaust hot air is sprayed onto the cleaned cable 3 with water stains, which helps to dry the surface moisture quickly. Then, the cable is further dried by the cotton sleeve 46 sucking away the residual water stains. Finally, the cleaned and dried used cable 3 is wound up by the winding drum 4.

[0051] In this embodiment, the working process when winding up a new cable is as follows: Cable 3 is passed through the cable groove 12 of the first cable management mechanism 111, and then the end is wound around the take-up drum 4. At this time, the rotary motor 5 starts and drives the take-up drum 4 to rotate. At the same time, the linear motor 47 reciprocates and moves the cable management seat 11 horizontally back and forth. When the cable management seat 11 moves horizontally back and forth, it carries the cable 3 along the take-up drum 4 horizontally back and forth. At this time, the take-up drum 4 winds up the cable 3 from one side to the other to prevent accumulation. After winding, the machine stops and the piston end of the shearing cylinder 13 retracts, causing the movable block 15 to rise. The rise of the movable block 15 drives the two connecting rods 17 to rotate in opposite directions. When the two connecting rods 17 rotate in opposite directions, the two shearing blades 16 rotate in opposite directions. The cable 3 is automatically cut by the reverse rotation of the two shearing blades 16. After that, the wound take-up drum 4 is disassembled and replaced with a new take-up drum 4. The disassembly and assembly method of the take-up drum 4 has been explained above.

[0052] In this embodiment, the working process for winding up old cables is as follows: When it is necessary to wind up used cables, because the surface of the used cables is covered with dirt, dust, and other impurities, one end of the used cable 3 needs to pass through the inlet hole 351 and then exit from the outlet hole 352. Afterward, it passes through the wire groove 12 of the first cable management mechanism 112 and is wound onto the winding drum 4. The winding method is the same as that for new cables 3. Before winding, the processing box 34 needs to remove impurities from the surface of the used cable 3. After cleaning and drying, the used cable 3 is finally wound up by the winding drum 4. This invention enables the winding of new cables and used cables using different processing methods.
