Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a bundling device, and more particularly to a bundling device for cables. Background Technology
[0002] Cable bundling is an important step in the cable manufacturing process, typically occurring after insulation extrusion and cabling. Specifically, after the cable conductors are stranded, the insulation is extruded, and the cables are bundled, bundling is performed to keep the cables clean, secure them, and protect their internal structure.
[0003] Existing cable bundling equipment boasts a high level of automation, capable of automatically identifying cable specifications, quantity, and location, and automatically adjusting bundling parameters to achieve unattended or minimally manual bundling. However, shortcomings remain. Cable bundling aims to coil cables at the winding station for binding with straps. The operation process involves connecting the operating platforms of the winding and bundling equipment. The wound cable is then propelled towards the bundling station via transmission devices on both sides of the operating platform, where it is bundled on the outside of the cable coil. During transmission, clamping components on both sides of the transmission platform apply a stable force to the cable to prevent it from loosening during transport. Conventional bundling equipment, on a flat platform, uses... Two fixed-position cable bundling machines with the same orientation are used. To minimize cable loosening during bundling, the movement of the cable itself is reduced, and the clamping equipment maintains contact with the cable. During bundling, the first bundling machine first bundles the cable on both sides along the same line as the transmission direction for initial fixation. Then, the cable is transmitted backward and rotated 90 degrees by a rotating device. The bundling process is repeated to secure the cable around its outer perimeter. While this method reduces cable tangling to some extent, the cable transmission path is too long, the equipment steps are cumbersome, and it has a certain impact on production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of conventional cable bundling equipment, which, while reducing cable tangling to some extent, suffer from excessively long cable transmission paths and cumbersome procedures, thus impacting production efficiency, the purpose of this invention is to provide a cable bundling device to solve one of the aforementioned problems.
[0005] Technical Solution: A cable bundling device includes a base, a processing platform, a transmission component, a support frame, a winding machine, a slide, a cylinder, a sliding plate, a rotating base, and a rotating drive component. The base has a cavity, and the processing platform is mounted on it. The transmission component is symmetrically arranged on both the front and rear sides of the base. A support frame is mounted on the rear transmission component, and a winding machine is located at the upper end of the support frame. The winding machine consists of a lifting component, a conveyor belt component, and a winding fixture. A gap is provided on the processing platform below the winding machine to allow the winding fixture to pass through. An auxiliary mechanism for cutting and sealing the winding tape wound by the winding machine is installed in the base. A pressing mechanism is located on the support frame near the winding machine. Before the winding fixture moves down, the pressing mechanism moves down and presses down on the upper surface of the cable on the processing platform. Each of the aforementioned transmission components is equipped with a slide block, which moves laterally left and right under the drive of the transmission component. Each slide block is equipped with a cylinder, and a sliding plate is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod of each cylinder. Each sliding plate is equipped with two rotating seats, and each rotating seat is equipped with a rotary drive component. The rotary drive component consists of an inner support plate, two rotating shafts, and a belt. A power component is connected to one of the rotating shafts in the rotary drive component to drive the belt to rotate. The rotary drive components on the two transmission components are symmetrically arranged, and the two rotary drive components on the same side are symmetrically arranged. The rotary drive component moves back and forth under the drive of the cylinder and swings at a certain angle under the drive of the rotating seat. The four rotary drive components clamp the coil on the processing platform and drive the coil to be positioned and rotated on the processing platform.
[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the pressing mechanism includes an electric cylinder, a lower pressure plate, connecting rods, pressure rollers, and springs. An electric cylinder is installed on one side of the upper end of the support frame. The drive rod of the electric cylinder is vertically downward and its end is connected to the lower pressure plate. Connecting rods are slidably provided on the lower pressure plate. There are four connecting rods, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the lower pressure plate. Springs are wound around the outer side of the upper end of each connecting rod. Pressure rollers are rotatably provided at the lower part of each connecting rod.
[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a second transmission component, a second cylinder, and a tray. The processing platform has a notch on its right side, and the second transmission component is located on the right side of the equipment base. The second transmission component has a second cylinder mounted on it via a slider. The upper end of the movable rod of the second cylinder has a tray. The second cylinder and the tray move left and right under the drive of the second transmission component. During the movement to the right, the tray enters the notch of the processing platform.
[0008] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that a vision inspection device is also included, installed at the upper end of the support frame away from the electric cylinder, with its inspection probe facing the surface of the processing platform.
[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the rotary drive operates at a uniform speed and relatively slowly.
[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the processing platform is made of metal with a smooth surface.
[0011] Beneficial effects: This utility model, by setting up a pressing mechanism and a rotary drive, clamps and presses the outer periphery and upper end of the coil on the processing platform without affecting the normal operation of the winding machine. The rotary drive drives the coil to rotate and position on the processing platform, and works with the winding machine to complete the binding work at different positions on the coil in sequence. This reduces the machining steps of the transmission path, speeds up the processing cycle of the equipment, and improves efficiency.
[0012] This utility model uses a second transmission component to transmit the bundled cables externally, replacing the manual material handling and transportation process and facilitating direct connection to subsequent processing steps. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Example 1: A cable bundling device, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes an equipment base 1; the equipment base 1 serves as the cornerstone of the entire system, and its internal cavity provides a concealed and stable installation space for auxiliary mechanisms while maintaining the clean appearance of the equipment. The processing platform 2 is stably fixed on the equipment base 1, becoming the core area for cable processing and bundling. Its surface is carefully treated to ensure the stability and accuracy of the cable during the bundling process.
[0020] The transmission components 21, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the equipment base 1, are tightly connected by a precise mechanical transmission structure, ensuring synchronous and coordinated movement on both sides. A support frame 3 is securely supported on the rear transmission component 21. The upper part of the support frame 3 extends forward, and a winding machine 4 is firmly installed at its upper end. The winding machine 4 is precisely assembled from key components such as a lifting component, a conveyor belt component, and a winding fixture. The lifting component drives the winding fixture to move flexibly up and down, penetrating through the gap on the processing platform 2 to the lower part, thereby achieving efficient winding of the cable. Correspondingly, an auxiliary mechanism is provided inside the equipment base 1. During the winding process, the auxiliary mechanism inside the equipment base 1 will cut and seal the winding tape wrapped around the cable in a timely manner, ensuring a secure and aesthetically pleasing binding.
[0021] To further improve the quality of cable bundling, a pressing mechanism is cleverly set on the support frame 3 near the winding machine 4. Before the winding fixture moves down, the pressing mechanism will be activated in advance, and its flat bottom surface will press tightly against the upper end of the cable on the processing platform 2, thereby effectively eliminating gaps and mess between cables and creating ideal conditions for subsequent winding operations.
[0022] The slide block 5, equipped on the transmission component 21, can move laterally left and right under the drive of the transmission component 21, providing power support for the left and right movement of the wound cable. Each slide block 5 is equipped with a cylinder 51, which is tightly connected to the slide plate 52 via a robust connector. Two rotating seats 53 are cleverly arranged on the slide plate 52, and rotating drive components 54 are installed on the rotating seats 53. The rotating drive components 54 consist of key components such as an inner support plate, two rotating shafts, and a belt, forming a highly efficient and stable transmission system. A power component is connected to one of the rotating shafts, driving the rotation of the belt. The two rotating seats 53 on the same side rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the inner support plates of the two rotating drive components 54 on the same side to rotate in opposite directions. Through the front-to-back arrangement of the rotating drive components 54, the coil on the processing platform 2 is clamped, and the belt on the rotating drive component 54 is driven to rotate. By pre-setting the belt direction of all rotating drive components 54, powerful power support is provided for the rotational drive after clamping the coil.
[0023] The rotary drive components 54 on the two transmission components 21 are symmetrically arranged, ensuring the balance and stability of the equipment in the left-right direction. Simultaneously, the two rotary drive components 54 on the same side are also symmetrically arranged, further enhancing the clamping force and positioning accuracy in the front-back direction. Under the powerful push of the cylinder 51, the rotary drive components 54 can reciprocate back and forth and swing at a certain angle under the flexible drive of the rotating seat 53. These four rotary drive components 54, working together, can firmly clamp the coil on the processing platform 2 and achieve rotation under precise positioning, thus facilitating cable bundling operations.
[0024] Specifically, by setting up a pressing mechanism and a rotary drive, the coil's periphery and upper end on the processing platform are clamped and pressed. Simultaneously, without affecting the normal operation of the winding machine, the rotary drive drives the coil to rotate and position itself on the processing platform. This design not only reduces the transmission path and processing steps but also accelerates the equipment's processing cycle, significantly improving bundling efficiency. During the operation of the rotary drive 54, they run at a uniform and relatively slow speed. This design not only ensures the stability of the coil during clamping and rotation but also avoids cable damage caused by excessive speed. Furthermore, the processing platform 2 is made of metal and has undergone careful polishing, resulting in a smooth and flawless surface. This design not only improves the durability and stability of the processing platform 2 but also ensures smooth movement and precise positioning of the cable during processing.
[0025] Among them, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing mechanism includes an electric cylinder 7, a lower pressure plate 71, a connecting rod 72, a pressure roller 73, and a spring 74. As a crucial component of the cable bundling equipment, the pressing mechanism is ingeniously designed and practical. An electric cylinder 7 is securely mounted on one side of the upper end of the support frame 3. The drive rod of this electric cylinder 7 points vertically downwards, providing a powerful downward force to the pressing mechanism. The end of the drive rod is tightly connected to the lower pressure plate 71 via a robust connector, ensuring effective force transmission.
[0026] Four sliding connecting rods 72 are cleverly designed on the lower pressure plate 71, and they are respectively arranged at the four corners of the lower pressure plate 71. This layout not only ensures the stability of the pressing mechanism during operation, but also allows the pressure to be evenly distributed on the cable, avoiding the situation where excessive local pressure will cause cable damage. Springs 74 are wound around the upper outer side of the connecting rods 72. These springs 74 provide downward preload to the connecting rods 72, and at the same time play a role in buffering and shock absorption during the pressing process.
[0027] The lower part of the connecting rod 72 is equipped with rotatable pressure rollers 73. Driven by the connecting rod 72, these pressure rollers 73 can flexibly contact and press the cable. When the electric cylinder 7 is started, the drive rod pushes the lower pressure plate 71 to move downward, which in turn drives the connecting rod 72 and the pressure rollers 73 to move downward together. During the downward movement, the pressure rollers 73 will press tightly against the upper end face of the cable on the processing platform 2. Through its rotational design, it can ensure uniform pressing of the cable and reduce frictional damage to the cable.
[0028] When it is necessary to straighten the cable, the electric cylinder 7 starts and pushes the lower pressure plate 71 downward. Under the preload of the spring 74 and the transmission action of the connecting rod 72, the pressure roller 73 will closely contact and press the cable. As the lower pressure plate 71 continues to move downward, the pressure roller 73 will roll on the cable, thereby achieving uniform straightening of the cable. When the straightening is completed, the electric cylinder 7 will drive the drive rod on it to move upward, thereby driving the lower pressure plate 71, the connecting rod 72 and the pressure roller 73 to move upward together, completing the entire straightening process.
[0029] Before the winding operation, the cables on the processing platform 2 are effectively compressed and straightened. This not only eliminates gaps and mess between cables, but also creates ideal conditions for the subsequent coiling and winding operations. At the same time, the design of the compression and straightening mechanism also takes into account the protection of the cables, avoiding damage to the cables during the compression and straightening process. Therefore, this compression and straightening mechanism not only improves the quality and efficiency of cable bundling, but also extends the service life of the cables.
[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cable bundling equipment is also equipped with a transmission component 2 6, a cylinder 2 61, and a tray 62 to further improve the automation process of the equipment. A notch is provided on the right side of the processing platform 2, which provides space for the tray 62 to enter. The transmission component 2 6 is stably installed on the right side of the equipment base 1. The cylinder 2 61 is connected to the transmission component 2 6 through a precision slider structure. The tray 62 is firmly installed on the upper end of the movable rod of the cylinder 2 61. This design ensures that the tray 62 can move up and down stably under the drive of the cylinder 2 61.
[0031] When the transmission component 6 is started, it will drive the cylinder 61 and the tray 62 to move left and right together. During the movement to the right, the tray 62 will accurately enter the position below the slot of the processing platform 2. After the cable is bundled, the equipment will transfer it to the right side of the processing platform 2. At this time, the tray 62 will rise under the drive of the cylinder 61, steadily lifting the cable on the processing platform 2 and sending it out, thus realizing the automatic unloading of the cable.
[0032] To further enhance the intelligence level of the equipment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 A vision inspection instrument 8 is also installed on the side of the upper end of the support frame 3 away from the electric cylinder 7. The detection probe of the vision inspection instrument 8 faces the surface of the processing platform 2 and can detect the condition of the cable after bundling in real time. Through advanced image processing technology, the vision inspection instrument 8 can accurately identify the bundling quality, positional deviation and other information of the cable, and promptly feed the detection results back to the control system. In this way, the equipment can make timely adjustments based on the detection results to ensure the accuracy and consistency of cable bundling.
[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
