Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power cable processing technology, specifically to a cable sheath processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, power cables have evolved from simple power transmission to multi-functional and multi-purpose cables. Depending on their application, power cables have been given new properties such as flame retardancy, fire resistance, and halogen-free low-smoke properties. Previously, water resistance requirements for cables were mainly limited to submarine cables, ultra-high voltage cables, and communication cables. However, with deeper research and understanding of insulation water absorption and water treeing, the importance of waterproof performance in power cables has become increasingly recognized. Medium-voltage power cables are mostly laid underground. In areas with high groundwater levels or frequent rainfall, more and more users are demanding waterproof performance from medium-voltage power cables.

[0003] However, when using longitudinally wrapped aluminum-plastic composite tape bonded to a polyethylene inner sheath and a flame-retardant polyolefin inner sheath as a waterproof isolation sleeve, the aluminum-plastic composite tape is composed of an aluminum base tape and a thin film attached to its surface. The aluminum-plastic composite tape and the cable are brought in simultaneously. The aluminum-plastic composite tape is heat-applied to the outside of the cable using a mold. The cable has a certain curvature, and it is easy for the cable to be routed crookedly during routing, affecting production quality. Therefore, the market urgently needs to develop a cable sheath processing equipment to help people solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable sheath processing equipment to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when using longitudinally wrapped aluminum-plastic composite tape to bond polyethylene inner sheath and flame-retardant polyolefin inner sheath as a waterproof isolation sleeve, the aluminum-plastic composite tape is composed of aluminum base tape and a film attached to its surface. The aluminum-plastic composite tape and the cable are fed in at the same time. The aluminum-plastic composite tape is heat-applied to the outside of the cable using a mold. The cable has a certain curvature and is easy to be crooked during the cable routing, which affects the production quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cable sheath processing equipment, comprising a working chamber, characterized in that: a workbench is fixedly installed above the working chamber, a cable feeding mechanism is provided on the workbench, the cable feeding mechanism includes a cable feeder and a strip stabilizer, a transition table is provided on the workbench, the cable feeder includes a first bracket, a first longitudinal clamping roller and a second longitudinal clamping roller are rotatably connected to the first bracket respectively, the strip stabilizer includes a connecting frame, two connecting frames are provided, a first transverse clamping roller and a second transverse clamping roller are rotatably connected between the two connecting frames respectively, a coiling table and a forming table are respectively provided on the workbench, a longitudinally wrapped horn mold is provided on the coiling table, the longitudinally wrapped horn mold is unfolded from one end of the sheet metal, and the other end is deformed from a flat plate into a structure similar to a tube.

[0006] The above technical solution utilizes the first and second longitudinal clamping rollers to provide stable guidance for the cable, and the first and second transverse clamping rollers to ensure that the strip enters the longitudinal wrapping horn mold smoothly. The two sets of clamping rollers clamp the cable and aluminum-plastic composite strip flat and guide them to the same axis, thereby ensuring that the cable and aluminum-plastic composite strip enter the line at the same time, preventing the line from bending, and improving production quality.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured as follows: a stabilizing mold and a sizing mold are respectively provided on the forming table; a longitudinal horn mold outlet end is provided with a longitudinal horn positioner; the longitudinal horn positioner includes a fixing frame; and four second adjusting bolts are threadedly connected to the outer side of the fixing frame.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a first hot air blower bracket is provided between the longitudinal horn positioner and the stabilizing die, and a second hot air blower bracket is provided between the stabilizing die and the sizing die, wherein both the first hot air blower bracket and the second hot air blower bracket are used to fix the hot air blower.

[0009] The above technical solution involves wrapping the aluminum-plastic composite tape around the outside of the cable using a heat-applying method, with the heating temperature reaching over 70°C.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a wire stabilizer is provided at the mold inlet of the longitudinally packaged horn mold, the wire stabilizer includes a second bracket, a wheel frame is slidably connected to the inner side of the second bracket, a pressure wheel is rotatably connected to the lower part of the wheel frame, and a first adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the second bracket, the bottom end of the first adjusting bolt being rotatably connected to the wheel frame.

[0011] The above technical solution utilizes a cable stabilizer to ensure that the cable and tape are on the same axis as the longitudinal wrapping horn die, enabling stable cable transmission and guaranteeing the quality of the longitudinal wrapping.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model utilizes a first longitudinal clamping roller and a second longitudinal clamping roller to provide stable guidance for the cable, and a first transverse clamping roller and a second transverse clamping roller to ensure that the strip enters the longitudinal wrapping horn mold flat. By using two sets of clamping rollers to clamp the cable and aluminum-plastic composite strip flat and guide them to the same axis, it can ensure that the cable and aluminum-plastic composite strip enter the line at the same time, prevent the line from bending, and improve production quality.

[0014] 2. This utility model first involves the aluminum-plastic composite tape undergoing initial deformation via a longitudinal wrapping horn mold, transforming it from a flat plate into a tubular structure. Further deformation occurs via a stabilizing mold, bringing the diameter of the tubular structure close to the design value. A sizing mold ensures the diameter of the aluminum-plastic composite tape's shielding layer reaches the design requirements, and the tape is continuously wrapped around the cable core. Together, they pass through an extruder die to extrude an outer sheath. After forced cooling and shaping, the production of the cable's comprehensive sheath is complete. To address the severe edge curling and diameter springback issues that occur during the longitudinal wrapping of the aluminum-plastic composite tape, appropriate forming control technology must be adopted in the longitudinal wrapping process. This longitudinal wrapping forming control technology refers to the process of transforming the aluminum-plastic composite tape into a tubular shape during longitudinal wrapping. After the structure is formed, the film covering the middle part of the two overlapping longitudinal edges softens (around 70℃) and becomes sticky, thus firmly bonding them together, finally completing the longitudinal wrapping. Thermal control is used to control the process. The thermal control technology for longitudinal wrapping of aluminum-plastic composite strips utilizes the structural characteristics of the film covering the aluminum base strip. During its deformation process, hot air or flame is used to heat the overlapping part of the two edges until the middle film softens and becomes sticky, bonding the two longitudinal edges together. After cooling, the two overlapping longitudinal edges are firmly bonded and fixed, forming a stable tubular structure. The height and diameter rebound of the rolled edge of the formed aluminum-plastic composite strip longitudinal wrapping tube will be reduced. Attached Figure Description
