TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wire harness dispersion, and in particular to a wire harness dispersion mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a kind of signal transmission line, cable is widely used in mobile phone industry, usually by artificial in the process of mobile phone production and assembly, cable is assembled in mobile phone.

[0003] At present, the production and processing of cable is usually completed in batches, and after cable processing, it is transported to assembly station, and cable is sorted and assembled into mobile phone by artificial. However, when the batch of cables are transported to the assembly station, the cables are easy to be entangled with each other, at this time, the entangled cables need to be separated by artificial, and then the cables can be transported to the assembly process one by one.

[0004] However, for this way of separating the entangled cables by artificial during the assembly of cables, the assembly efficiency of cables is usually low. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] In order to improve the assembly efficiency of cables, the present application provides a wire harness dispersion mechanism.

[0006] The present application provides a wire harness dispersion mechanism, which adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A wire harness dispersion mechanism, comprising a support and a dispersion assembly, the dispersion assembly comprises a dispersion cylinder and a dispersion piece, the dispersion cylinder and the dispersion piece are both installed on the support, and the dispersion piece is connected with the dispersion cylinder, the dispersion cylinder is used for receiving cables, and the dispersion piece is used for dispersing the cables in the dispersion cylinder.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, the batch of cables are transported into the dispersion cylinder, and then the dispersion piece drives the dispersion cylinder to move, so as to disperse the batch of cables in the dispersion cylinder, thereby dispersing the cables by mechanical means, so as to reduce the entanglement of cables, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of cables.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, the upper end of the dispersion cylinder is in the shape of a circular truncated cone, and the inner diameter of the upper end of the dispersion cylinder is greater than the diameter of the lower end of the dispersion cylinder at the circular truncated cone position.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, the cables in the alignment pipe are received by the dispersion cylinder, and then the cables in the dispersion cylinder are driven to make lifting and reciprocating motion by the dispersion piece, so as to disperse the cables in the dispersion cylinder and arrange them along the inclined inner wall of the upper end of the dispersion cylinder, thereby facilitating the cables to be transported to the next process one by one.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the dispersing component includes a lifting motor, a lifting drive wheel, a lifting transmission wheel, a lifting timing belt, a lifting block, and a dispersing rod. The lifting motor is mounted on a bracket, the lifting drive wheel is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the lifting motor, the lifting transmission wheel is mounted on the bracket, the lifting timing belt connects the lifting transmission wheel and the lifting drive wheel, the dispersing rod is mounted on the lifting timing belt and extends into the dispersing cylinder, and the dispersing rod is used to push the cable to move.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting drive wheel is driven to rotate by the lifting motor, and the lifting drive wheel drives the lifting transmission wheel to rotate through the lifting synchronous belt, thereby driving the dispersing rod to make a vertical reciprocating motion. This causes the end of the dispersing rod located inside the dispersing cylinder to push the cable inside the dispersing cylinder to make a vertical reciprocating motion, thus facilitating the dispersing of the cable inside the dispersing cylinder.

[0013] In one specific implementation, the dispersing assembly further includes a rotating component, which includes a drive motor, an adjusting drive wheel, an adjusting transmission wheel, and an adjusting timing belt. The drive motor is mounted on a bracket, the adjusting drive wheel is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, the adjusting transmission wheel is mounted on the dispersing cylinder, and the adjusting timing belt connects the adjusting drive wheel and the adjusting transmission wheel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the adjustment drive wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the adjustment transmission wheel to rotate via the adjustment timing belt, thereby driving the dispersing cylinder to rotate. This ensures that the cable inside the dispersing cylinder is always in the gripping position when the cable is being gripped, making it easier to transport the cable to the next process.

[0015] In one specific implementation, a storage component is also included, comprising a turntable, a storage tube, and a closure. The turntable is mounted on a support, the storage tube is mounted on the turntable, the turntable has a discharge hole, one end of the storage tube extends into the discharge hole, and the storage tube is used to store cables. The closure is mounted on the support and is used to close the storage tube, and the cables in the storage tube are used to be conveyed to a dispersing cylinder.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the cable is temporarily stored by placing it in the storage tube on the turntable, and the lower end of the storage tube on the turntable is sealed by a sealing component, so that the cable is kept in the storage tube, thus facilitating the storage of the cable.

[0017] In one specific implementation, the sealing component includes a metal plate and a sealing cylinder. The metal plate is mounted on a turntable and is used to seal the storage tube. The metal plate also has a discharge hole for coinciding with the storage tube. The sealing cylinder is mounted on a bracket, and a magnet is mounted on the piston rod of the sealing cylinder. The magnet is used to attract the metal plate. A stop block is also mounted on the turntable. The stop block is located between the sealing cylinder and the metal plate and is used to abut against the metal plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnet is driven to move by a closed cylinder, thereby pushing the metal plate to move. This causes the dropping hole on the metal plate to coincide with the storage tube on the turntable, thus opening the storage tube and facilitating the delivery of the cable inside the storage tube to the unloading assembly for subsequent cable distribution.

[0019] In one specific implementation, a feeding assembly is also included, the feeding assembly including an alignment member, the alignment member including an alignment tube and an alignment cylinder, the alignment cylinder being mounted on a bracket, the alignment tube being mounted on the piston rod of the alignment cylinder, and one end of the alignment tube extending to the bottom wall of the turntable, the other end extending toward the dispersion cylinder, and the alignment tube being used to convey the cables in the storage assembly into the dispersion cylinder.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to unload the cables in the storage tube, the alignment cylinder drives the alignment tube to move to the alignment storage component, so that the cables in the storage component can enter the alignment tube and then enter the distribution component, thereby facilitating the transportation of the cables.

[0021] In one specific implementation, the feeding assembly further includes a rotating component, which includes a rotary motor, a rotary pulley, a transmission pulley, and a rotary timing belt. The rotary motor is mounted on a bracket, the rotary pulley is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the rotary motor, a rotating shaft is mounted at the center of the turntable, the transmission pulley is coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft, and the rotary timing belt connects the rotary pulley and the transmission pulley.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor drives the rotating pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission pulley to rotate via the rotating synchronous belt, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable to rotate. This facilitates the turntable to move the storage tube to be aligned with the alignment tube, thus facilitating the entry of the cable from the alignment tube into the dispersing assembly.

[0023] In one specific implementation, a detection component is also installed on the bracket. The detection component includes a detection camera and a detection light source. The detection camera is mounted on the bracket and located above the dispersion component. The detection camera is used to take pictures of the cables inside the dispersion component and upload them to an external control system. The detection light source is mounted on the bracket and located at the detection camera. The detection light source is used to illuminate the dispersion component.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection light source illuminates the dispersion component, and the detection camera takes pictures of the cables in the dispersion component and uploads them to the external control system. This makes it easy to determine whether there are cables at the cable grabbing position, thus facilitating the transport of the cables to the next process.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. This application sets up a dispersing component, which transports a batch of cables into the dispersing component. The dispersing component drives the dispersing cylinder to reciprocate, thereby dispersing the batch of cables in a mechanical manner. This facilitates the individual transport of the cables to the next process, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent cable assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This application discloses a wire harness dispersion mechanism, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a support 1, a storage component 2, a feeding component 3, a dispersing component 4, and a detection component 5. The storage component 2, feeding component 3, dispersing component 4, and detection component 5 are all mounted on the support 1. A feeding mechanism 6 is also provided on one side of the support 1. The storage component 2 is used to store cables. The feeding component 3 is used to transport a batch of cables from the storage component 2 to the dispersing component 4. The dispersing component 4 is used to disperse the batch of cables so that the feeding mechanism 6, located on one side of the support 1, can transport the cables one by one to the next process. The detection component 5 is used to photograph and detect the cables in the dispersing component 4 so that the feeding mechanism 6 can accurately pick up the cables in the dispersing component 4.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The storage component 2 includes a turntable 21, storage tubes 23, and a closure 24. The turntable 21 has a circular cross-section. A rotating shaft 22 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom wall of the turntable 21. The turntable 21 is mounted obliquely on the support 1 and is rotatably connected to the support 1 via the rotating shaft 22. The turntable 21 has several discharge holes 211, which are equidistantly distributed along the circumference of the turntable 21. Several storage tubes 23 are provided, and each storage tube 23 corresponds to one of the discharge holes 211. Both ends of each storage tube 23 are open. One end of the storage tube 23 is fixedly installed in the discharge hole 211 on the top wall of the turntable 21, and the other end of the storage tube 23 extends obliquely upward along the axis of the rotating shaft 22. The storage tube 23 is used to store cables.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sealing component 24 includes a metal plate 241 and a sealing cylinder 242. Several metal plates 241 are provided, each corresponding to one of several discharge holes 211. The metal plates 241 are slidably mounted on the bottom wall of the turntable 21 and located at the discharge holes 211. The metal plates 241 are used to seal the storage tube 23, and the sliding path of the metal plates 241 is along the diameter of the turntable 21. One end of the metal plates 241 extends towards the rotating shaft 22, and the metal plates 241 are close to the rotating shaft 22. A folding plate 243 is fixedly installed at one end. The folding plate 243 extends away from the metal plate 241 along the axis parallel to the rotating shaft 22. The folding plate 243 is also made of metal. Several stop blocks 244 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the turntable 21 near the rotating shaft 22. The stop blocks 244 are equidistantly arranged on the bottom wall of the turntable 21 along the circumference of the turntable 21. The stop blocks 244 correspond one-to-one with the folding plates 243 on the metal plates 241. The stop blocks 244 are used to abut against the folding plates 243.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A material discharge hole 2411 is provided on the bottom wall of the metal plate 241. The diameter of the material discharge hole 2411 is larger than the inner diameter of the storage tube 23, and the material discharge hole 2411 is used to align with the storage tube 23. The sealing cylinder 242 is fixedly installed on the bracket 1, and the sealing cylinder 242 is located below the turntable 21 and on one side of the rotating shaft 22. The piston rod of the sealing cylinder 242 extends upward at an angle, and the axis of the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 242 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 22. A sealing block 245 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 242. A magnet 246 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the sealing block 245 away from the sealing cylinder 242. The magnet 246 is used to attract the folding plate 243. When the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 242 is in the retracted state, the stop block 244 is located between the folding plate 243 and the magnet 246.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sealing cylinder 242 drives the sealing block 245 to move towards the folding plate 243, causing the sealing block 245 to move the magnet 246 towards the folding plate 243 until it contacts the folding plate 243. The magnet 246 then attracts the folding plate 243. As the sealing cylinder 242 continues to drive the piston rod to extend, the piston rod pushes the folding plate 243 away from the rotating shaft 22 via the sealing block 245. This pushes the metal plate 241 away from the rotating shaft 22, causing the discharge hole 2411 on the metal plate 241 to gradually move towards the storage tube 23. When the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 242 reaches the end of its stroke, the discharge hole 2411 on the metal plate 241 coincides with the storage tube 23, opening the storage tube 23 and allowing the cable inside the storage tube 23 to be discharged through the discharge hole 2411.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 After the cable in the storage tube 23 is unloaded, the piston rod is retracted by the sealing cylinder 242, which in turn moves the sealing block 245 toward the rotating shaft 22, thereby moving the magnet 246. The magnet 246 attracts the folding plate 243 and pulls the folding plate 243 toward the rotating shaft 22, thereby moving the metal plate 241 toward the rotating shaft 22. This causes the dropping hole 2411 on the metal plate 241 to move away from the storage tube 23, thus displacing the dropping hole 2411 from the storage tube 23, and thus sealing the storage tube 23 with the metal plate 241. When the magnet 246 moves the folding plate 243 to the stop block 244, the folding plate 243 abuts against the stop block 244 and stops moving. At this time, the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 242 has not yet fully retracted. Then, as the sealing cylinder 242 drives the piston rod to fully retract, the piston rod drives the sealing block 245 to continue moving towards the rotating shaft 22, thereby driving the magnet 246 to move and causing the magnet 246 to separate from the folding plate 243, thus completing the action of sealing the discharge hole 211.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The feeding assembly 3 includes an alignment component 31 and a rotating component 32. The alignment component 31 includes an alignment tube 311 and an alignment cylinder 312. The alignment cylinder 312 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1 and is located below the turntable 21. The piston rod of the alignment cylinder 312 extends upward at an angle, and the axis of the piston rod of the alignment cylinder 312 is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 22. The alignment cylinder 312 is located on the side of the rotating shaft 22 away from the closed cylinder 242. An alignment sleeve 313 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the alignment cylinder 312. An alignment tube 311 is fixedly installed on the alignment sleeve 313. The axis of the alignment tube 311 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 22. Both ends of the alignment tube 311 are open. One end of the alignment tube 311 extends to the metal plate 241 on the bottom wall of the turntable 21. The other end of the alignment tube 311 extends towards the dispersing component 4. The inner diameter of the alignment tube 311 is larger than the diameter of the discharge hole 211. The alignment tube 311 is used for alignment with the storage tube 23.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 The rotating component 32 includes a rotary motor 321, a rotary pulley 322, a transmission pulley 323, and a rotary synchronous belt 324. The rotary motor 321 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1 and is located below the turntable 21. The axis of the output shaft of the rotary motor 321 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 22. The rotary pulley 322 is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the rotary motor 321, and the transmission pulley 323 is coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft 22. The rotary synchronous belt 324 connects the rotary pulley 322 and the transmission pulley 323.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5When cables need to be conveyed to the dispersing assembly 4, the alignment cylinder 312 drives the alignment sleeve 313 to move away from the rotating shaft 22 until the piston rod of the alignment cylinder 312 is fully extended. This causes the alignment sleeve 313 to move the alignment tube 311 away from the rotating shaft 22 to the storage tube 23, aligning the alignment tube 311 with the storage tube 23. Then, the sealing member 24 opens the storage tube 23, aligning the discharge hole 2411 on the metal plate 241 with the storage tube 23, allowing the cable in the storage tube 23 to enter the alignment tube 311 and fall into the dispersing assembly 4. Then, the sealing member 24 closes the storage tube 23 again, and the alignment cylinder 312 drives the piston rod to retract, moving the alignment tube 311 towards the rotating shaft 22, thus dislocating the alignment tube 311 from the storage tube 23, completing the cable conveying operation. When it is necessary to transport the cable again, the rotary motor 321 drives the rotary pulley 322 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission pulley 323 to rotate via the rotary synchronous belt 324. This drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable 21 to rotate. The turntable 21 then moves another storage tube 23 to the moving path of the alignment tube 311, thus facilitating the transport of the cable to the dispersing assembly 4 again.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The dispersion assembly 4 includes a dispersion cylinder 41, a dispersion element 42, and a rotating element 43. The upper and lower ends of the dispersion cylinder 41 are open, and the upper end of the dispersion cylinder 41 is frustum-shaped. The diameter of the upper end of the frustum-shaped part of the dispersion cylinder 41 is larger than the diameter of the lower end of the frustum-shaped part of the dispersion cylinder 41. A guide tube 44 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the dispersion cylinder 41. The guide tube 44 is coaxial with the dispersion cylinder 41, and the upper end of the guide tube 44 communicates with the lower end opening of the dispersion cylinder 41. A sliding sleeve 45 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide tube 44. The sliding sleeve 45 is rotatably installed on the support 1.

[0047] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The dispersing component 42 includes a lifting motor 421, a lifting drive wheel 422, a lifting transmission wheel 423, a lifting synchronous belt 424, a lifting block 425, and a dispersing rod 426. A lifting frame 427 is fixedly installed on the support 1 along the vertical direction. The lifting frame 427 is located below the guide tube 44. The lifting motor 421 is fixedly installed on the lifting frame 427. The lifting drive wheel 422 is coaxially installed on the output shaft of the lifting motor 421.

A lifting block 425 is slidably mounted on the lifting frame 427 in a vertical direction, and is also fixedly connected to the side wall of the synchronous belt 424. One end of a dispersing rod 426 is rotatably mounted on the lifting block 425, and the other end extends vertically upward into the guide tube 44, with the dispersing rod 426 and the guide tube 44 being coaxial. A top rod 4261 is coaxially mounted on the end of the dispersing rod 426 inside the guide tube 44, and the outer wall of the top rod 4261 is in contact with the inner wall of the guide tube 44. A limiting sleeve 46 is coaxially mounted on the lower end of the guide tube 44, and the limiting sleeve 46 is fitted over the dispersing rod 426. A keyway is provided on the side wall of the dispersing rod 426, and the keyway is arranged along the axial direction of the dispersing rod 426. A limiting ball (not shown in the figure) is installed inside the limiting sleeve 46 at the keyway of the dispersing rod 426.

[0048] In some other embodiments of this application, the lifting motor 421, lifting drive wheel 422, lifting transmission wheel 423, and lifting synchronous belt 424 in the dispersing component 42 can be replaced by a lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder is installed vertically on the side wall of the lifting frame 427, and the lifting block 425 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder drives the lifting block 425 to perform lifting and lowering actions. The lifting motor 421, lifting drive wheel 422, lifting transmission wheel 423, and lifting synchronous belt 424 in the dispersing component 42 can also be replaced by a lead screw motor and a lead screw. The lead screw is rotatably installed on the lifting frame 427 in the vertical direction. The lead screw motor is installed on the side wall of the lifting frame 427, and the output shaft of the lead screw motor is connected to one end of the lead screw. The lifting block 425 is slidably installed on the side wall of the lifting frame 427, and the lifting block 425 is also threadedly connected to the lead screw. The lifting motor 421, lifting drive wheel 422, lifting transmission wheel 423 and lifting synchronous belt 424 in the dispersive component 42 can also be replaced by a linear motor. The linear motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the lifting frame 427 in the vertical direction, and the lifting block 425 is installed on the output end of the linear motor.

[0049] Reference Figure 6The rotating component 43 includes a drive motor 431, an adjusting drive wheel 432, an adjusting transmission wheel 433, and an adjusting timing belt 434. The drive motor 431 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1 and is located above the lifting frame 427. The adjusting drive wheel 432 is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 431. The adjusting transmission wheel 433 is coaxially mounted on the sliding sleeve 45. The adjusting timing belt 434 connects the adjusting drive wheel 432 and the adjusting transmission wheel 433.

[0050] In some other embodiments of this application, the adjusting drive wheel 432, adjusting transmission wheel 433 and adjusting timing belt 434 in the rotating member 43 can also be replaced by a drive gear and a transmission gear. The drive gear is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 431, and the transmission gear is coaxially mounted on the sliding sleeve 45, and the drive gear and the transmission gear mesh.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the cable is conveyed to the dispersing cylinder 41, the cable slides down into the dispersing cylinder 41 through the upper opening, so that the lower end of the cable abuts against the top wall of the dispersing rod 426 located inside the dispersing cylinder 41, and the upper end of the cable is located at the upper end of the dispersing cylinder 41. Then, the lifting drive wheel 422 is driven to rotate back and forth by the lifting motor 421, so that the lifting drive wheel 422 drives the lifting transmission wheel 423 to rotate back and forth through the lifting synchronous belt 424, thereby driving the lifting block 425 to move back and forth vertically, so that the dispersing rod 426 drives the top rod 4261 to move back and forth vertically within the guide tube 44, thereby driving the cable to move back and forth continuously, thus dispersing the cable in the dispersing cylinder 41, so that the upper end of the cable is dispersed along the frustum-shaped part at the upper end of the dispersing cylinder 41, which facilitates the gripping of the feeding mechanism 6.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 Since the feeding mechanism 6 is located on one side of the support 1, when the cable in the dispersing cylinder 41 near the feeding mechanism 6 is gripped, the drive motor 431 drives the adjusting drive wheel 432 to rotate, which in turn drives the adjusting transmission wheel 433 to rotate via the adjusting timing belt 434. This, in turn, drives the sliding sleeve 45 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide tube 44 and the dispersing cylinder 41 to rotate. This causes the cable to move towards the feeding mechanism 6, so that the feeding mechanism 6 can continuously grip the cable. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the dispersing rod 426 rotates synchronously with the guide tube 44 under the drive of the limiting sleeve 46 and the limiting ball, thereby reducing the friction between the end of the top rod 4261 and the cable terminal when the cable rotates relative to the dispersing rod 426 driven by the dispersing cylinder 41, which would otherwise damage the cable terminal.

[0053] ReferenceFigure 1 The detection component 5 includes a detection camera 51 and a detection light source 52. A camera support 53 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1, extending upwards above the dispersion cylinder 41. The detection camera 51 is fixedly mounted on the camera support 53 and positioned above the dispersion cylinder 41. The detection camera 51 is used to photograph the cables in the dispersion cylinder 41 and upload the images to an external control system. The external control system determines whether there are cables near the feeding mechanism 6 in the dispersion cylinder 41, and then sends a working command to the rotating component 43. The detection camera 51, the external control system, and the method by which the external control system detects and judges the cables in the dispersion cylinder 41 and sends working commands to the rotating component 43 are all existing technologies in the art and will not be described in detail here. The detection light source 52 is fixedly mounted on the camera support 53 near the detection camera 51 and is used to illuminate the dispersion cylinder 41.

[0054] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: By feeding cables into several storage tubes 23 on the turntable 21, each storage tube 23 is kept to hold a batch of cables. Then, the turntable 21 is driven to rotate by the rotating component 32, so that one of the storage tubes 23 moves to the moving path of the alignment tube 311 in the alignment component 31. Then, the alignment tube 311 is driven to move to a position coaxial with the storage tube 23 by the alignment cylinder 312, so that the lower end of the alignment tube 311 is aligned with the cable distribution drum. Then, the storage tube 23 located at the alignment tube 311 on the turntable 21 is opened by the sealing component 24, so that the cables in the storage tube 23 enter the alignment tube 311 and then enter the cable distribution drum from the alignment tube 311. Then, the sealing component 24 closes the storage tube 23, the alignment component 31 is reset, and the rotating component 32 drives the turntable 21 to rotate, so that the next storage tube 23 moves to the moving path of the alignment tube 311, so as to continuously feed cables into the cable distribution drum.

[0055] After the cable enters the distribution drum through the alignment tube 311, the dispersing component 42 is driven to move, causing the dispersing rod 426 in the dispersing component 42 to move up and down reciprocally. This, in turn, pushes the cable in the distribution drum to move up and down reciprocally through the top rod 4261, thus dispersing the cable along the inner wall of the distribution drum for easy gripping by the feeding mechanism 6. When the feeding mechanism 6 grips the cable in the distribution drum one by one, the detection light source 52 in the detection component 5 illuminates the distribution drum, and the detection camera 51 takes real-time pictures of the cable in the distribution drum and uploads them to the external control system. The external control system determines whether there is a cable in the distribution drum near the feeding mechanism 6 and sends a working command to the rotating component 43, thereby driving the distribution drum to rotate through the rotating component 43. This ensures that there is always a cable in the distribution drum near the feeding mechanism 6, making it easy for the feeding mechanism 6 to transport the cable in the distribution drum one by one to the next process.

[0056] The above are preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
