[0002] Existing sealing methods for flexible cables primarily rely on manual or pneumatic external clamping. These methods work well when the cable ends are free of large accessories (such as terminals or electrical connectors). However, these traditional methods struggle to achieve an effective seal when difficult-to-remove obstructions exist at both ends of the cable. With the increasing demand for sealing in these conditions during airtight testing, there is an urgent need for a flexible cable sealing tool suitable for applications where the cable ends are oversized.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the present invention.

[0030] First, combine Figures 1-3 The flexible cable sealing tool according to the embodiment of the present invention is described, which is used to seal flexible cables and has a wide range of application scenarios.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the flexible cable sealing tool of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a supporting module and a pair of clamping modules.

[0032] Specifically, if Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a supporting groove is provided on the supporting module, and the supporting groove is used to place the flexible cable 3, and the flexible cable 3 is fixed and positioned by the supporting groove; a pair of clamping modules are fixed on the supporting module and are respectively arranged on both sides of the supporting groove. The pair of clamping modules clamp and block the flexible cable 3, solving the blocking problem when there are blocking obstacle accessories that are difficult to remove at both ends of the cable 3.

[0033] Further, if Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the supporting module includes: a base plate 11, a pair of clamping modules are fixed on the base plate 11, and the overall movement and fixation of the tooling are conveniently realized; a pair of vertical plates 12, a pair of vertical plates 12 are relatively fixed on the base plate 11, and are arranged between the pair of clamping modules to realize stable support and positioning of the flexible cable 3, and the supporting groove is opened at the top of the pair of vertical plates 12, and the clamping modules clamp and block the part of the cable 3 between the pair of vertical plates 12.

[0034] Further, if Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping module includes: a fixing frame 21, the fixing frame 21 is fixed on the supporting module; a driving member 22, the driving member 22 is fixed on the fixing frame 21, the driving member 22 can be a throttling control cylinder to realize the synchronous drive of a pair of clamping modules, or it can be an electric cylinder or a servo motor. The application of automation enables the clamping module to automatically complete the blocking action without manual intervention, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing the possibility of human error. The manual operation can also be a synchronous gear rack, a synchronous mechanism, etc., which is suitable for different usage scenarios; a blocking mechanism, the blocking mechanism is arranged on the fixing frame 21 and is connected to the output end of the driving member 22; the driving member 22 drives the blocking mechanism to extend, and the blocking mechanism is close to the flexible cable 3 for blocking.

[0035] Further, if Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the blocking mechanism includes: a driving rod 23, one end of the driving rod 23 passes through the fixing frame 21 and is connected to the output end of the driving member 22; a fixing block 24, the fixing block 24 is connected to the other end of the driving rod 23; a rubber sleeve 25, the rubber sleeve 25 is semicircular and adapts to the shape of the flexible cable 3. The rubber sleeve 25 is fixed in the middle of the fixing block 24, and the rubber sleeve 25 is used to block the flexible cable 3, that is, the flexible cable 3 is blocked by docking a pair of rubber sleeves 25 in a pair of clamping modules.

[0036] Further, if Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the blocking mechanism further includes: a pair of anti-deformation components, a pair of anti-deformation components are arranged on the fixed block 24, and are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the rubber sleeve 25, the anti-deformation components are in contact with the rubber sleeve 25 to prevent the rubber sleeve 25 from being squeezed and deformed. Since the pair of rubber sleeves 25 will squeeze each other when docked, the rubber sleeve 25 will undergo radial deformation. Through the setting of the anti-deformation components, the deformation of the rubber sleeve 25 is effectively reduced, and the blocking effect of the flexible cable 3 is improved. Rubber sleeves 25 of different hardness can be used according to usage. The anti-deformation component includes: a reset plate 26, one end of the reset plate 26 is hinged to the fixed block 24 through a pin, and the other end of the reset plate 26 is in contact with the rubber sleeve 25; a connecting rod 27, the connecting rod 27 is telescopically arranged in the fixed block 24, and the connecting rod 27 is connected to the reset plate 26; a spring 28, the spring 28 is sleeved on the connecting rod 27, and the two ends of the spring 28 are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the fixed block 24 and the reset plate 26, and the spring 28 drives the reset plate 26 to reset. When the rubber sleeve 25 is squeezed, the reset plate 26 will move accordingly and compress the spring 28. When the pressure is released, the elastic force of the spring 28 will drive the reset plate 26 back to its original position.

[0037] Working principle: Before the test: When the cylinder of the left and right clamping modules retracts, the rubber sleeve 25 remains in a natural state, and the reset plate 26 swings around the pin at a small angle of 3°-4° under the elastic force of the spring 28, and the bottom of the reset plate 26 is basically tangent to the outer circle of the rubber ring.

[0038] During the test, the flexible cable 3 was manually placed on the support groove of a pair of plates 12, with a slight interference fit. Under the action of throttling adjustment, the cylinder was able to achieve near-synchronous arrival at the center sealing position of the cable 3 (because the inner contour of the rubber sleeve 25 is also circular, it can achieve centering for the circular cable 3, and the cylinder synchronization error is applicable to this type of flexible cable 3). The rubber sleeve 25 contacted and pressed the outer circle of the cable 3 with a single-sided interference fit of approximately 0.4-0.6, and simultaneously showed a tendency to deform toward the upper and lower reset plates 26. Simultaneously, the upper and lower reset plates 26 also pressed against each other as the cylinder moved left and right, automatically pressing the deformed rubber sleeve 25 back to its original shape, ensuring that the mold line was subjected to centripetal compression when the left and right halves of the rubber sleeve 25 interfered with each other. The outer shape of the junction between the fixed block 24 and the rubber sleeve 25 was adapted to the rubber sleeve 25 to be set as an inwardly concave arc, minimizing the space available for abnormal deformation of the rubber sleeve 25.

[0039] Above, refer to Figures 1-3 The flexible cable 3 sealing tooling according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, which uses left and right rubber sleeves 25 for mold closing and sealing, and can adapt to the situation where the end size of the flexible cable 3 is too large and cannot pass through the head of the cable 3 for sealing; through the anti-deformation component, the rubber sleeves 25 are effectively prevented from being squeezed and deformed by each other during the mold closing process, thereby improving the sealing effect.
