Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wire take-up and discharge machines, specifically an automatic wire take-up and discharge machine. Background Technology

[0002] Cable take-up and release machines (also known as automatic take-up machines, automatic cable release machines, cable take-up and release devices, etc.) are widely used for the take-up, release, arrangement, and sorting of various wires such as cables, optical cables, and wire ropes. With the continuous improvement of industrial automation and production efficiency, traditional manual cable take-up and release methods are gradually being replaced by automated equipment, especially in the fields of cable production, warehousing, transportation, and high-efficiency engineering construction, where the demand for cable take-up and release machines is becoming increasingly strong.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent No. CN218708202U, a full-line automatic wire cutting, conveying, and unloading gantry take-up and unloading machine is disclosed. The gantry take-up and unloading machine has upright columns installed on both sides of its main body. A crossbeam is installed on the upper end of the columns, and a horizontal auxiliary single beam is fixedly installed on the crossbeam, extending horizontally towards the front of the crossbeam. A metering device, a guide wheel device, and a wire cutting device are installed on the bottom of the horizontal auxiliary single beam. Take-up reel clamping devices are installed on the columns. A sliding rail is laid at the bottom of the gantry take-up and unloading machine, and an unloading trolley is slidably connected to the sliding rail. Sliding rollers are installed at the bottom of the unloading trolley, and a universal welded roller bracket is fixedly installed at the upper end of the unloading trolley.

[0004] In the above solution, the guide wheel device guides the cable during winding and unwinding, which has the following disadvantages: the cable winding and unwinding machine cannot arrange the cable during use, which may cause the cable to become tangled or excessively piled up during winding, resulting in damage such as wear, breakage or deformation of the cable surface. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic cable take-up and unwinding machine to solve the problem that the cable take-up and unwinding machine cannot arrange the cables during use, which may cause the cables to become tangled or excessively piled up during take-up, resulting in damage such as wear, breakage or deformation of the cable surface.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automatic take-up and discharge machine, including a gantry frame, the gantry frame being fixed to the top surface of the machine frame, two support plates being fixed to the front side of the outer wall of the machine frame, each of the two support plates having a through hole on one side, a rotatable spool being arranged between the two support plates, a guide rail being movably arranged inside the gantry frame, a U-shaped frame being fixed to the bottom surface of the slider of the guide rail, and rollers being rotatably arranged inside the U-shaped frame.

[0007] Preferably, the top surface of the gantry frame has an movable hole, and a first hydraulic push rod is fixed on the top surface of the gantry frame. One end of the telescopic rod of the first hydraulic push rod is fixed with a connecting plate, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top surface of the guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the gantry frame has two limiting holes, and limiting posts are slidably inserted into the two limiting holes respectively. The bottom ends of the two limiting posts are fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting plate respectively.

[0009] Preferably, turntables are rotatably provided on the inner sides of the two support plates, and the bobbin is rotatably disposed between the two turntables. A drive motor is fixed on the left side of the left support plate, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the left turntable. Two fixing slots are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the bobbin, and two fixing posts are fixed on the inner sides of the two turntables. The two fixing posts are slidably inserted into the two fixing slots.

[0010] Preferably, a second hydraulic push rod is fixed to the right side of the support plate on the right side, and the turntable on the right side is fixed to one end of the telescopic rod of the second hydraulic push rod by a bearing.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the U-shaped frame has rotation holes on the left and right sides, and the roller has mounting grooves on the left and right sides. Springs are fixed inside the two mounting grooves, and connecting shafts are fixed to the outer ends of the two springs. The two connecting shafts are slidably inserted into the two rotation holes.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, an automatic take-up and discharge machine that adopts the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In use, the operator first installs the cable drum between two support plates, then passes one end of the cable on the drum through the inside of the U-shaped frame, so that the cable falls onto the rollers. Then, by rotating the drum, the cable is wound up or unwound. At this time, the cable can move smoothly through the guiding action of the rollers. When the operator needs to wind up the cable, the guide rail is activated, and the slider of the guide rail can be moved left and right to adjust. This, in turn, drives the U-shaped frame and rollers to adjust left and right, thereby ensuring that the cable is evenly arranged on the drum. This achieves an efficient automatic winding and arrangement function, avoids cable tangling or excessive accumulation, and prevents damage such as cable surface wear, breakage or deformation, thereby improving work efficiency and cable integrity.

[0014] II. During use, when it is necessary to adjust the tension of cable winding and unwinding, the operator only needs to activate the first hydraulic push rod. Its telescopic rod will move the connecting plate up and down, causing the guide rail, U-shaped frame, and rollers to rise and fall accordingly. This allows the operator to easily adjust the cable tension, ensuring the cable remains stable throughout the winding and unwinding process.

[0015] Thirdly, during use, the limiting holes and posts facilitate the limiting of the connecting plate during lifting and lowering, preventing the connecting plate, guide rail, and rollers from shifting. This not only ensures stability during lifting but also prevents equipment malfunctions or damage caused by shifting. After the spool is installed between the two turntables, the cooperation between the fixing post and the fixing groove ensures the stability of the spool. Then, the drive motor is started, and its output shaft drives the left turntable to rotate, causing the spool to rotate automatically, realizing the automated cable winding and unwinding function. By working with the left turntable, it can clamp and fix spools of different lengths, which not only improves the flexibility of the equipment but also meets different production needs. The installation and removal of the rollers is simple and quick, and can be completed without the use of special tools or equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic take-up and discharge machine includes a gantry frame 1, which is fixed to the top surface of a frame 2. Two support plates 3 are fixed to the front side of the outer wall of the frame 2. Through holes 4 are respectively opened on one side of the two support plates 3. A spool 5 is rotatably arranged between the two support plates 3. A guide rail 6 is movably arranged inside the gantry frame 1. A U-shaped frame 7 is fixed to the bottom surface of the slider of the guide rail 6. A roller 8 is rotatably arranged inside the U-shaped frame 7.

[0023] In use, the operator first installs the cable drum 5 between the two support plates 3. Then, one end of the cable on the cable drum 5 is passed through the inside of the U-shaped frame 7, so that the cable falls on the roller 8. Then, by rotating the cable drum 5, the cable is wound up or unwound. At this time, the cable can move smoothly through the guiding action of the roller 8. When the operator needs to wound up the cable, the guide rail 6 is activated, so that the slider of the guide rail 6 can be moved left and right to adjust. This, in turn, can drive the U-shaped frame 7 and the roller 8 to adjust left and right, thereby ensuring that the cable is evenly arranged on the cable drum 5. This achieves an efficient automatic cable winding and arrangement function, avoids cable tangling or excessive accumulation, and prevents damage such as cable surface wear, breakage or deformation, thereby improving work efficiency and cable integrity.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the gantry frame 1 has an movable hole 9, and the top surface of the gantry frame 1 is fixed with a first hydraulic push rod 10. One end of the telescopic rod of the first hydraulic push rod 10 is fixed with a connecting plate 11, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the guide rail 6.

[0025] In use, when it is necessary to adjust the tension of cable winding and unwinding, the operator only needs to activate the first hydraulic push rod 10. Its telescopic rod can drive the connecting plate 11 to move up and down, so that the guide rail 6, U-shaped frame 7 and roller 8 will also rise and fall together, allowing the operator to easily adjust the cable tension and ensure that the cable remains stable during winding and unwinding.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the top surface of the gantry frame 1 has two limiting holes 12, and limiting posts 13 are slidably inserted into the two limiting holes 12 respectively. The bottom ends of the two limiting posts 13 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting plate 11 respectively. Turntables 14 are rotatably arranged on the inner sides of the two support plates 3 respectively. The spool 5 is rotatably arranged between the two turntables 14. A drive motor 15 is fixed on the left side of the left support plate 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the left side of the left turntable 14. Two fixing slots 16 are opened on the left and right sides of the spool 5 respectively. Two fixing posts 17 are fixed on the inner sides of the two turntables 14 respectively. The two fixing posts 17 are slidably inserted into the two fixing slots 16 respectively.

[0027] During use, the limiting hole 12 and limiting post 13 facilitate the limiting of the connecting plate 11 during lifting and lowering, preventing the connecting plate 11, guide rail 6, and roller 8 from shifting. This not only ensures stability during lifting and lowering but also prevents equipment malfunction or damage caused by shifting. After the cable drum 5 is installed between the two turntables 14, the cooperation between the fixing post 17 and the fixing groove 16 ensures the stability of the cable drum 5. Then, the drive motor 15 is started, and its output shaft drives the left turntable 14 to rotate, causing the cable drum 5 to rotate automatically, realizing the automated cable winding and unwinding function.

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a second hydraulic push rod 18 is fixed to the right side of the support plate 3 on the right side. The turntable 14 on the right side is fixed to one end of the telescopic rod of the second hydraulic push rod 18 by a bearing. Rotation holes 19 are opened on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 7, and mounting slots 20 are opened on the left and right sides of the roller 8. Springs 21 are fixed inside the two mounting slots 20, and connecting shafts 22 are fixed to the outer ends of the two springs 21. The two connecting shafts 22 are slidably inserted into the two rotation holes 19.

[0029] In use, when it is necessary to clamp and fix spools 5 of different lengths, simply activate the second hydraulic push rod 18. Its telescopic rod will drive the right-side turntable 14 to move left and right. By cooperating with the left-side turntable 14, it is possible to clamp and fix spools 5 of different lengths, which not only improves the flexibility of the equipment but also meets different production needs. When installing the roller 8, simply place the roller 8 into the U-shaped frame 7 and gently squeeze the connecting shaft 22 to make it enter the mounting groove 20. At this time, the elastic force of the spring 21 will automatically return the connecting shaft 22 to the rotating hole 19, completing the installation of the roller 8. Conversely, when disassembling, simply repeat the above process to easily remove the roller 8 from the U-shaped frame 7. This makes the installation and disassembly of the roller 8 simple and quick, and can be completed without the use of special tools or equipment.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
