Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric locomotive equipment, in particular to a semi-automatic batch thin cable unloading tool. Background Art

[0002] During the cable production process for Harmony electric locomotives, the production of thin cables, due to the large quantity and large batch size, consumes a significant amount of time. This presents a significant challenge in reducing locomotive downtime for maintenance and warrants special attention. In existing technology, cables are manually dragged to a specified length and then removed one or several cables at a time, resulting in low efficiency. The cable length for each locomotive is fixed, which necessitates batch production. Cables of the same length are often used in the same or several connectors. Manually removing individual cables from the assembly line often results in length errors, causing difficulties or impacts in subsequent processes. For example, when soldering wires to the connector tail, the standard requires that the wires soldered / crimped to the connector cup have a stress relief bend with a radius of 3 to 5 times the cable diameter. After soldering, individual strands of the cable must not protrude, and individual cables must not be subjected to stress, otherwise welding reliability will be compromised. If improper processing results in localized stress, causing individual strands to protrude, and if cable disturbances occur during testing, trials, and service, the stressed cables lack stress relief margins, leading to quality risks such as open welds and circuit breaks.

A person of ordinary skill in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0012] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a semi-automatic, batch thin cable unloading tool, comprising a support frame 4 and two circular turntables 1 arranged at intervals on the support frame 4. The two turntables 1 are connected by a central axis 7 passing through the center of the turntable 1, and the central axis 7 is connected to a rotating motor 3. The turntable 1 has a plurality of through holes evenly distributed around the center of the turntable 1. The through holes are arranged in a plurality of concentric circles, and the circumference of each concentric circle is equal to the length of a single cable to be unloaded.

[0013] A winding bolt 6 is passed through the corresponding through holes on the two turntables 1 , and the turntable 4 is provided with a line-tying opening 8 and a line-cutting opening 9 .

[0014] The winding bolt 6 is detachably connected to the turntable 1 , an infrared generator 10 is provided on the outer surface of one of the turntables 1 , and a counting controller 11 and an infrared receiver 12 adapted to the infrared generator 10 are provided on the support frame 4 .

[0015] The working principle of the above tool is as follows: The circumference of the concentric circle containing the corresponding winding bolt 6 is selected based on the length of a single cable to be unloaded. The winding bolt 6 on the concentric circle that corresponds to the circumference is secured to the turntable 1. First, the cable is tied to the winding bolt 6 on the right side of the cable tie port 6 of the turntable 1. The counter controller 11 sets the number of revolutions of the turntable 1 according to the number of cables to be unloaded. The motor 3 is then turned on and rotated clockwise. This rotates the turntable 1 via the central shaft 7, winding the cable around the outer circumference of the circle formed by the winding cable 6. Simultaneously, the infrared generator 10, fixed to the turntable 1, rotates with it. Each time the infrared generator 10 completes a revolution, the infrared receiver 12 receives an infrared signal. This signal is then counted by the counter controller 11. When the set number of revolutions is reached, the counter controller 11 stops the motor 3. Thus, the specified number of cables of the desired length are wound. Then tie a fixed tie at the line opening 8 of the turntable 1 and cut it at the line cutting opening 9 of the turntable 1. Thereby completing the task of batch offline.

[0016] The above embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. However, the above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
