Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of installation of cables or wires, or installation of photoelectric combined cables or wires, and in particular to a rotatable stripping device. Background Art

[0002] Various insulation stripping technologies for overhead conductors during live-line operations have been developed. Currently, the most widely used include handheld conductor strippers, manual insulation rod stripping devices, and electric stripping equipment. Both manual and electric strippers, with their high degree of automation and excellent operational efficiency, play a crucial role in distribution network maintenance.

[0003] The existing stripper's blade structure usually adopts a universal blade tip design. Although this design can meet the stripping needs of conventional insulated wires, such as polyvinyl chloride and cross-linked polyethylene insulation, and maintain stable operating performance under the four-season ambient temperature in southern my country, it exposes certain technical problems under the low temperature conditions in northern winter.

[0004] Specifically, in northern my country, the outdoor temperature in winter is often below minus 20 degrees Celsius. In this environment, the physical properties of the polymer insulation layer of the insulated wire will change significantly. Low temperature causes the macroscopic manifestation of the polymer insulation layer of the insulated wire to show a sharp increase in hardness and a decrease in fracture toughness. At the same time, the surface smoothness increases significantly due to material shrinkage. In order to take into account the adaptability of wires with different wire diameters, the blade tip of the existing electric stripper usually adopts an arc transition or blunt tip design. This design can achieve insulation layer cutting through the tool feed pressure at room temperature. However, in low temperature scenarios, due to the reduction of the surface friction coefficient of the insulation layer and the hardness exceeding the critical value of the tool cutting, it is easy to cause the tool to slip during the feeding process, insufficient cutting depth, etc. In severe cases, the insulation layer cannot be effectively cut, and the operation is forced to be interrupted.

[0005] Further analysis reveals that the core contradiction of this technical issue lies in the mismatch between universal tool design and the changing physical properties of the insulation layer in extremely cold environments. Existing technical solutions fail to specifically optimize the insulation layer's hardness-temperature characteristic curve for low-temperature conditions. Furthermore, tool materials lack adaptive low-temperature wear resistance and cutting angles. This results in frequent tool changes or manual pre-cutting during winter operation in northern China, reducing efficiency and increasing the safety risks of live-line work.

[0006] In summary, how to solve the problem that the stripper cannot feed the blade normally due to the low-temperature hardening and surface smoothing of the insulation layer in the extremely cold weather in the north, and achieve efficient stripping of insulated wires in low-temperature environments, has become a technical difficulty that urgently needs to be broken through in the field of live-line working equipment in distribution networks.

[0039] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components.

[0044] It is worth noting that the methods used in the present invention are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified; the raw materials and devices used are all conventional commercially available products, and their sources are not specifically limited unless otherwise specified.

[0045] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a rotatable stripping device, which is mainly installed at the movable end of the multi-axis motion mechanism and is used for rotating and feeding to cut the cable sheath.

[0046] Specifically, the device of this embodiment is used to cooperate with the cable clamping and rotating feeding device to achieve circumferential stripping. Accordingly, a multi-axis motion mechanism is installed on the aforementioned device, and the device of this embodiment is installed on the active end of the multi-axis motion mechanism, thereby achieving Figure 2 The overall movement direction of the cutter head shown by the middle arrow is used to control the cutter to cut into the outer skin of the cable 2 to be stripped at a preset position.

[0047] The rotatable peeling device 1 comprises a mounting base, a rotary mechanism, a power unit and a cutter. The cutter is connected to the power unit via the rotary mechanism; the rotary mechanism, the power unit and the cutter are all mounted on the mounting base.

[0048] Among them, the mounting seat 101 is as follows Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, it adopts a special-shaped structure, and is provided with a standard interface, a variable angle connection part and a rotary mechanism installation position. Specifically, the upper end of the mounting seat 101 adopts a straight shank structure 1011, and is processed with multiple through holes to serve as a standard interface, and the geometric dimensions of the multiple through holes are adapted to the installation position of the movable end of the multi-axis motion mechanism. Therefore, when it is necessary to adapt to different models of complete machines, it is only necessary to adjust the straight shank structure 1011 to complete the adaptation. Furthermore, the straight shank structure 1011 is fixedly connected to the rotary mechanism installation position through the variable angle connection part; the main body of the mounting seat 101 is a flat plate structure, and the variable angle connection part is a curved part. The upper part is connected to the straight shank structure 1011, and the lower part is connected to the flat plate structure to adjust the spatial position of the tool so that it has a better cutting angle. A rotary mechanism installation position is fixedly connected to the side of the flat plate structure, which adopts a double lug structure 1012 and is processed with corresponding through holes and threaded blind holes for installing the rotary mechanism.

[0049] The rotary mechanism of this embodiment is as follows Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in order to reduce the overall space size, this embodiment adopts a compact design, that is, the rotating mechanism is selected as a plane gear transmission group 105, and the power unit is an electric motor 104. Among them, in this embodiment, a simplified design is used as an example for illustration. The plane gear transmission group 105 specifically adopts two plane-meshing spur gears for transmission, and the electric motor 104 can be a miniaturized DC reduction motor, and the output shaft is coaxially connected to the driving gear in the gear group. The driven gear in the gear group is coaxially connected to the tool transmission shaft. Furthermore, the output shaft of the motor and the tool transmission shaft are designed to be on the same side and arranged in parallel. As a result, the motor 104 and the tool 106 are located on the same side, thereby achieving a compact arrangement and making full use of the tool head space.

[0050] Combine Figure 7-11 As shown, the tool 106 of this embodiment is a straight handle round chisel structure, provided with a handle 1062, a blade 1063 and a blade 1061.

[0051] Among them, the blade 1061 is a combined blade, with an overall arc-shaped cylindrical blade. The central area is the arc main blade 10611, and the two sides are respectively provided with a flat-edged secondary blade 10612 and a beveled auxiliary blade 10613. The blade adopts a round chisel structure, so the two sides are designed symmetrically. Therefore, the flat-edged secondary blade 10612 and the beveled auxiliary blade 10613 are respectively provided on both sides of the arc main blade 10611. The above design aims to make the arc main blade 10611 a universal stripping edge structure. It can be used for stripping in non-cold scenarios. When facing low-temperature scenarios, the tool 106 is rotated about the axis, and the flat-edged secondary blade 10612 and the beveled auxiliary blade 10613 are formed into a tip for initial cable peeling. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sharpness of the beveled auxiliary edge 10613 is designed to be less than or equal to the sharpness of the flat-edged secondary edge 10612 , and the sharpness of the flat-edged secondary edge 10612 is less than the sharpness of the arc main edge 10611 .

[0052] It should be noted that the above sharpness is measured by a commercially available sharpness tester. The smaller the value, the sharper the cutting edge, which is reflected in the structure as a smaller cutting edge radius or a smaller cutting edge thickness.

[0053] Furthermore, considering the edge strength, the bevel angle of the bevel auxiliary edge 10613 is less than or equal to 45°, and is preferably 45° in this embodiment.

[0054] Furthermore, in order to increase the structural strength, a coaxial cylindrical protrusion 1066 is processed on the upper part of the back of the blade 1063, thereby strengthening the connection strength between the blade 1063 and the handle 1062, and realizing the chip removal structure design through the protrusion structure. Specifically, a chip guide groove 1065 is provided on the back of the blade 1063. The upper end of the chip guide groove 1065 is connected to the cylindrical protrusion 1066, and the lower end is connected to the upper end of the blade 1061, and the chip guide groove 1065 is a lofted surface and has a convergent structure in the chip guiding direction. Such a design can keep the path smooth during the peeling and chip removal process, without sudden changes in structure, and the guide direction is relatively certain. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the tool 1066, a clamping plane structure 1064 is processed on the front side of the blade 1063. The platform structure is used for tooling or tools to clamp the tool 106.

[0055] Therefore, at least a first feed position and a second feed position are provided in the travel of the rotary mechanism, which respectively correspond to different areas of the blade 1061 facing the cable 2 to be stripped.

[0056] Specifically, when the cutter 106 is in the first feed position, the arcuate primary cutting edge 10611 contacts the cable 2 to be stripped; when the cutter is in the second feed position, the flat secondary cutting edge 10612 and / or the beveled auxiliary cutting edge 10613 contact the cable 2 to be stripped. The cutter 106 is driven by the motor 104 to rotate about its axis, switching between the first and second feed positions. The first and second feed positions can be determined by a limiting structure or by a motor driver based on a preset signal, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations thereon.

[0057] Optional, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotatable stripping device 1 of this embodiment also includes a photoelectric sensor 102, mounted on the front face of the mounting base 101, with its detection end facing the cable to be stripped. Photoelectric sensor 102 includes an infrared emitting diode and an infrared receiving diode arranged in parallel within the sensor to detect whether the metal core is exposed. Specifically, when the cable 2 to be stripped is exposed, its infrared light reflection characteristics differ from those of the outer sheath, causing the optical signal received by the receiving diode to change. By setting a threshold in the signal circuit, when the signal change exceeds the threshold, it can be determined that the cable has been stripped and the metal core has been exposed.

[0058] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a contoured shell is mounted on the outside of the mounting base 101, and its surface shape is consistent with the outer contour of the internal structure. The contoured shell is opened on the side close to the photoelectric sensor 102, so that it can detect the status of the cable 2 to be stripped, and the edge of the opening is extended outward to block ambient light to reduce problems such as ambient light interference.

[0059] Optionally, the rotatable peeling device 1 of this embodiment further includes a position detection sensor 103. Position detection sensor 103 is a slot-type photoelectric sensor mounted on the straight handle 1011 of the mounting base 101 and equipped with an external baffle. When the rotatable peeling device 1 moves to a predetermined position, the baffle engages the slot-type photoelectric sensor, thereby blocking the photoelectric signal and achieving a position reset function.

[0060] Working principle;

[0061] Taking an existing electric peeler as an example, the blade part is replaced with the device of this embodiment, and the electric peeler is partially improved by adding an ambient temperature sensor. The temperature recognition circuit is connected to the control unit of the electric peeler, and the trigger condition is whether the temperature signal exceeds the preset temperature.

[0062] When the detected ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the cable is stripped by the arc main blade at the first feed position, consistent with the conventional stripping operation;

[0063] When the detected ambient temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the knife rotation signal is triggered, and the signal is distributed to the control unit of the electric stripper and the driver of the motor of this embodiment. The motor rotates until the tool reaches the second feed position and then self-locks. At this time, the tip composed of the flat-edge auxiliary blade and the beveled auxiliary blade moves with the multi-axis motion mechanism to cut into the cable sheath for stripping; when the signal generated by the photoelectric sensor exceeds the threshold, it means that the sheath is stripped off and the metal wire core is exposed. The signal enters the control unit of the electric stripper through the signal transmission line and follows the conventional retraction instruction action. The multi-axis motion mechanism drives the tool to retract laterally and stops when the position detection sensor detects that the signal is blocked, indicating that the retraction and reset are completed; afterward, according to the preset action, the motor rotates until the tool reaches the first feed position and then self-locks, and then the multi-axis motion mechanism drives the tool to feed laterally, and the remaining stripping work has been completed. The purpose of designing the first feed position-second feed position-first feed position switching according to the signal transmission signal of the signal circuit is: the surface of the cable sheath is hard and smooth at low temperatures, and the universal arc main blade will not be able to feed normally or cannot feed, so the first switching is performed according to the temperature, and the tip composed of the flat-edge auxiliary blade and the beveled auxiliary blade can only be used to feed to strip the first layer of the cable sheath to expose the metal wire core. After that, due to the angle, the stripping cannot continue, that is, the tool cannot shovel up more sheath; therefore, the sensor detects the signal, that is, when the metal wire core is stripped, the stripper stops and retracts, and performs a second switch, resets to the original position, and then the arc main blade is used to shovel up more sheath.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solution of the utility model by ordinary technicians in this field do not deviate from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
