Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable smoothing devices, in particular to a cable smoothing device. Background Art

[0002] During the cable handling process, incoming cables often appear irregularly warped or stacked. Warped cables are difficult to accurately place in the intended bending position, while stacked cables interfere with each other, making independent bending difficult. This not only increases the risk of cable damage during the bending process but also significantly reduces production efficiency and product yield. Therefore, cable handling requires careful arrangement.

[0003] However, traditional bending mechanisms fail to fully account for this irregularity in cable routing, making it impossible to automatically organize cables effectively. Consequently, manual cable management is required. This not only reduces overall work efficiency but also makes it difficult to ensure consistent and stable material handling, ultimately negatively impacting bending yields. Utility Model Content

[0029] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description of the present invention will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to facilitate a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed to” another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 7 , a cable smoothing device according to one embodiment of the present invention, includes a positioning assembly 10, a lower pressure head assembly 20 mounted below the positioning assembly 10, and an upper pressure head assembly 30 mounted above the positioning assembly 10. The positioning assembly 10 is used to position a cable material 40. The cable material 40 includes a first cable 41 and a second cable 42. The first cable 41 and the second cable 42 are stacked in an interlaced manner in a vertical direction, i.e., the first cable 41 is stacked on top of the second cable 42, or the second cable 42 is stacked on top of the first cable 41.

[0033] The positioning assembly 10 includes a carrier 11, a lifting plate 12 connected to the top of the carrier 11, positioning pins 13 mounted on opposite ends of the lifting plate 12, multiple positioning pressure plates 14 elastically connected to the lifting plate 12, and a jig 15 located below the lifting plate 12. The jig 15 is used to place the cable material 40. The jig 15 is mounted on another conveying device, such as a conveyor belt, and passes between the lower press head assembly 20 and the upper press head assembly 30 for processing.

[0034] Specifically, the jig 15 has positioning holes 150 at opposite ends, each corresponding to the positioning pins 13. When the lifting plate 12 descends, the positioning pins 13 are inserted into the positioning holes 150, and the positioning pressure plate 14 abuts and presses against the top surface of the first cable 41, thereby positioning the first cable 41.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting plate 12 is connected to the top of the carrier 11 through a lifting slide cylinder 120 arranged in the vertical direction to achieve the lifting function.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning plate 14 is slidably connected to the lifting plate 12 via a guide rail pair 141. A pressure sensor 142 and a spring 143 are sequentially connected to one end of the positioning plate 14. The end of the spring 143, away from the pressure sensor 142, is fixedly abutted against the lifting plate 12, thereby achieving an elastic connection between the positioning plate 14 and the lifting plate 12. This prevents rigid contact when the positioning plate 14 presses against the first cable 41, ensuring the structural and appearance integrity of the first cable 41. The pressure sensor 142 can also simultaneously detect the pressing force on the cable material 40.

[0037] The pressing head assembly 20 includes a base 21 mounted on the bottom of the carrier 11, a pressing slide cylinder 22 connected to the base 21, a pressing support plate 23 connected to the pressing slide cylinder 22, and a plurality of pressing heads 24 elastically connected to the pressing support plate 23. The pressing heads 24 correspond one to one with the second cable 42 and are used to lift the fixed end 421 of the second cable 42 upward. Specifically, the top of the pressing head 24 is provided with a first wedge-shaped surface 240, which is used to abut the fixed end 421.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the pressing support plate 23 is also slidably connected to the side of the base 21 close to the supporting frame 11; the cylinder body of the pressing slide cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the base 21, and the slide of the pressing slide cylinder 22 is connected to the pressing support plate 23 to drive the pressing support plate 23 to move up and down along the base 21.

[0039] The upper pressing head assembly 30 includes an adapter frame 31 connected to the top of the carrier frame 11, an upper pressing slide cylinder 32 connected to the adapter frame 31, an upper pressing support plate 33 connected to the upper pressing slide cylinder 32, and multiple upper pressing heads 34 connected to the upper pressing support plate 33. The upper pressing heads 34 correspond one-to-one with the second cable 42 and are used to press downward on the free end 422 of the second cable 42. Specifically, the bottom end of the upper pressing head 34 is provided with a second wedge surface 340, which is used to abut the free end 422. The second wedge surface 340 corresponds to the first wedge surface 240. By clamping the second cable 42 with the upper pressing head 34 and the lower pressing head 24, the free end 422 can be folded and attached above the fixed end 421, thereby smoothing the entire cable material.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, the movement direction of the upper pressing slide cylinder 32 is inclined to the horizontal plane, which can drive the upper pressing head 34 to move downward, thereby applying an inclined downward force to the free end 422, so that the free end 422 is folded above the fixed end 421.

[0041] During operation, the positioning platen 14 descends and presses the first cable 41, while the lower pressure head 23 continuously lifts the second cable 42, creating a significant vertical misalignment between the second and first cables 42, 41. This allows the second and first cables 42 to be separated in an orderly manner, regardless of which is on top. The upper pressure head 33 then descends, folding the free end 422 over and attaching it to the top of the fixed end 421, smoothing the entire cable material. Compared to traditional manual processing, the cable smoothing device of this utility model significantly improves work efficiency and ensures consistent and stable material processing.

[0042] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8For understanding, a limiting portion 35 is protruded downward on one side of the upper pressing head 34, and the inner surface of the limiting portion 35 and the second wedge-shaped surface 340 form a limiting space, which corresponds exactly to the end of the free end 422, ensuring that the upper pressing head 34 can abut and press the free end 422 to tilt downward, so that the free end 422 is folded above the fixed end 421, thereby achieving the smoothing of the entire cable material.

[0043] The above-mentioned cable smoothing device has a simple structure and is easy to use. The first cable 41 and the second cable 42 are separated in an orderly manner by the positioning pressure plate 14 and the lower pressure head 24. The lower pressure head 24 and the upper pressure head 34 cooperate to fold the second cable 42 to achieve a smoothing effect, greatly improving work efficiency and ensuring the consistency and stability of material processing.

[0044] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0045] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
