Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable processing technology, and in particular to an automatic take-up mechanism for U-shaped cables. Background Technology

[0002] Cables, also known as wires and cables, are wire products used to transmit power, signals, and data. Cables are usually produced and sold in specific length specifications. To meet customers' specific requirements for cable length, a step in the production process is to cut the cable before it enters the next process.

[0003] The cutting device cuts the cable. To prevent the cable from falling to the ground when the cut cable is long, other equipment is used to bend the cable into a U-shape. The U-shaped cable is then transported to the collection basket by the conveying device for collection. After collection, it enters the next process.

[0004] Currently, U-shaped cables fall into the collection basket via a conveyor. Multiple U-shaped cables pile up in the collection basket, which is quite messy. When it is necessary to collect the cables in the collection basket for the next process, manual sorting of the cables in the collection basket is required. Manual sorting of cables is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when the number of cables is large and the cutting frequency is high. The sorting work is particularly tedious, which increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic cable winding mechanism for U-shaped cables, which can effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a conveying device for conveying U-shaped cables and a collection basket for collecting U-shaped cables are included. The collection basket is disposed at the unloading end of the conveying device. The device also includes a pneumatic gripper for gripping the U-shaped cables. The pneumatic gripper is disposed above the unloading end of the conveying device and is movable up and down. The pneumatic gripper is equipped with a first driving device for actuating the device. The pneumatic gripper is disposed above the collection basket and is movable left and right. The pneumatic gripper is equipped with a second driving device for actuating the device.

[0008] Furthermore, the pneumatic gripper is used to grip the first open end of the U-shaped cable.

[0009] Furthermore, the first driving device is a cylinder, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly provided with a second connecting plate, the upper end of the pneumatic gripper is fixedly provided with a first connecting plate, and the first connecting plate is detachably fixed to the second connecting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the second drive device is an electric slide table.

[0011] Furthermore, the unloading end of the conveying device is embedded in the storage basket.

[0012] Furthermore, the storage basket has a notch at its left end, and the unloading end of the conveying device is embedded in the notch.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage basket has several openings spaced apart.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a frame for fixing the electric slide table.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0016] Firstly, through the coordinated operation of the pneumatic gripper, the first drive device, and the second drive device, the U-shaped cable is automatically grasped, moved, and released from the conveyor to the collection basket without manual intervention, greatly improving the automation level of the production line. The U-shaped cable is neatly straightened and falls into the collection basket, avoiding messy accumulation of cables in the basket, maintaining the cleanliness and order of the cables, and facilitating subsequent sorting and use. This technical solution replaces the traditional manual cable sorting steps, reducing the time and labor costs of manual operation.

[0017] Secondly, when it is necessary to clean the dust and small debris inside the storage basket, the dust and debris can be swept out through the opening, thus cleaning the storage basket. Operators do not need to turn the entire storage basket upside down or manually rummage through the inside, saving cleaning time and labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this solution provides an automatic cable winding mechanism for U-shaped cables.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5The system includes: a conveying device 6 for conveying U-shaped cables 5, and a collection basket 4 for collecting U-shaped cables 5. The conveying device 6 is a direct application of existing technology, and its principle will not be described in detail here. The collection basket 4 is located at the unloading end of the conveying device 6. It also includes a pneumatic gripper 1 for gripping the U-shaped cables 5. Preferably, the pneumatic gripper 1 is used to grip the first open end 51 of the U-shaped cables 5. The pneumatic gripper 1 is a direct application of existing technology, and its principle will not be described in detail here. The pneumatic gripper 1 is movably positioned above the unloading end of the conveying device 6. The pneumatic gripper 1 is equipped with a first driving device 2 that actuates it. Preferably, the first driving device 2 is a cylinder, which is a direct application of existing technology, and its principle will not be described in detail here. A second connecting plate 21 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the cylinder, and a first connecting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the pneumatic gripper 1. The first connecting plate 11 is detachably fixed to the second connecting plate 21. Preferably, the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 21 are connected by bolts. The pneumatic gripper 1 is movable left and right above the storage basket 4, and is equipped with a second drive device 3 to actuate it. Preferably, the second drive device 3 is an electric slide. Specifically, one end of the cylinder is fixed to the slider of the electric slide; the electric slide is a direct application of existing technology, and its principle will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 It also includes a frame 7, which is used to fix the electric slide table.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The unloading end of the conveying device 6 is embedded in the storage basket 4. The left end of the storage basket 4 is provided with a notch 42, and the unloading end of the conveying device 6 is embedded in the notch 42.

[0032] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The storage basket 4 has several openings 41 spaced apart at its bottom. In this embodiment, there are two openings 41, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the storage basket 4. When it is necessary to clean the dust and small debris inside the storage basket 4, the dust and debris can be swept out through the openings 41, thereby cleaning the storage basket 4. The operator does not need to invert the entire storage basket 4 or manually rummage through the inside, saving cleaning time and labor costs.

[0033] Working principle: When the conveying device 6 delivers the U-shaped cable 5 to the unloading end, the conveying device 6 stops running. The cylinder drives the pneumatic gripper 1 to move downward. The gripping end of the pneumatic gripper 1 grasps the first open end 51 of the U-shaped cable 5. The electric slide drives the cylinder and the pneumatic gripper 1 to move to the right until the second open end 52 of the U-shaped cable 5 is located in the storage basket 4. The pneumatic gripper 1 releases the first open end 51 of the U-shaped cable 5, and the U-shaped cable 5 is straightened and falls into the storage basket 4. The cylinder drives the pneumatic gripper 1 to move upward. The electric slide drives the cylinder and the pneumatic gripper 1 to move to the left until it moves above the unloading end of the conveying device 6. The conveying device 6 continues to run, delivering the next U-shaped cable 5 to the unloading end. The above steps are repeated.
