Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable production technology, and in particular to a cable metering device. Background Technology

[0002] In the cable manufacturing and processing industry, accurately measuring cable length is a crucial task, directly impacting product quality control, cost accounting, and subsequent installation and use. Cable metering devices, as key equipment for this measurement task, typically operate on the principle of using a drive roller and a driven roller to move the cable, calculating the cable length by counting the number of roller rotations.

[0003] However, in actual industrial production environments, cables are typically covered by an outer sheath. The material properties of this sheath, along with various factors during the production process, make it difficult to maintain stable friction between the cable sheath and the driving and driven rollers. During cable transmission, relative slippage between the sheath and the rollers frequently occurs, causing a deviation between the cable length recorded by the meter and the actual length, ultimately resulting in inaccurate measurement results and significant errors.

[0004] To address this issue, some technical solutions attempt to straighten the cable by adding additional limiting rollers, aiming to reduce slippage between the outer sheath and the driving and driven rollers by increasing the cable's straightness. This method can alleviate the slippage problem to some extent and improve the accuracy of meter counting. However, prolonged use of limiting rollers for cable straightening also introduces new risks. Under the continuous straightening force of the limiting rollers, both the internal structure and the outer sheath of the cable will suffer varying degrees of damage. The cable sheath may experience wear, scratches, or even cracks. This not only reduces the cable's mechanical strength and protective performance but also has a serious negative impact on the overall quality of the cable, potentially leading to safety hazards and reliability issues during subsequent use.

[0005] To address this issue, a cable metering device is proposed to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the utility model, and these aspects can be achieved even without these specific details.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a cable meter counting device, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0019] The device includes a base 1, a base plate 2 on top of the base 1, two mounting plates 3 symmetrically arranged on the base plate 2, each mounting plate 3 having two mounting slots 4, the mounting slots 4 on the two mounting plates 3 corresponding to each other, and a rotating rod 5 between each pair of corresponding mounting slots 4, each rotating rod 5 having a metering roller, the lower metering roller being the driving roller 6 and the upper metering roller being the driven roller 7, a support plate 8 on the side of the base plate 2, a support seat 9 on the support plate 8, and a drive motor 10 on the support seat 9, the output shaft of the drive motor 10 being connected to the rotating rod 5 at the driving roller 6, and a limiting component on the base plate 2.

[0020] The worker passes the cable through the gap between the driving roller 6 and the driven roller 7, and then adjusts the gap width between the driving roller 6 and the driven roller 7 according to the diameter of the cable to ensure that the driving roller 6 can drive the cable to move. Then, the drive motor 10 is started to drive the driving roller 6 to rotate and perform metering operation on the cable. The front end of the mounting plate 3 is equipped with a limiting component. During the metering process, the limiting component has a dynamic limiting effect on the cable. While limiting the cable to maintain its straightness, it also plays a certain buffering role on the cable to prevent damage to the cable sheath and thus affect the quality of the cable.

[0021] The limiting component includes a support frame 11 mounted on the base plate 2, and the support frame 11 is located at the front end of the mounting plate 3. The top of the support frame 11 is provided with a limiting rod 12, and the lower end of the limiting rod 12 is provided with a U-shaped frame 13. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably mounted on the U-shaped frame 13, and a limiting roller 15 is provided on the rotating shaft 14. The bottom of the support frame 11 is provided with a limiting rod 16, and the top of the limiting rod 16 is provided with a U-shaped frame 17. A rotating shaft 18 is rotatably mounted on the U-shaped frame 17, and a limiting roller 19 is provided on the rotating shaft 18. Both the limiting rod 12 and the limiting rod 16 are telescopic rods, and both are provided with limiting springs inside. The outer circumference of the limiting roller 15 and the limiting roller 19 is an inwardly concave arc surface.

[0022] By incorporating limiting springs within limiting rod 12 and limiting rod 26, in conjunction with limiting roller 1 and limiting roller 2, the cable remains clamped and restricted as it passes through due to the elastic force of the limiting springs. Furthermore, the limiting force is not fixed but dynamically adjusts adaptively based on the cable's speed and fluctuations, preventing damage to the cable sheath from prolonged fixed-force restrictions and ensuring the quality of the cable after metering. Limiting roller 1 and limiting roller 2 have inwardly concave arc-shaped surfaces, providing a guiding function and ensuring the cable remains essentially centered between limiting roller 1 and limiting roller 2 as it passes through, preventing outward deviation and improving metering stability.

[0023] The support frame 11 has rectangular grooves 20 on both the left and right sides. The first rotating shaft 14 and the second rotating shaft 18 extend outside the rectangular grooves 20 and are connected to the support frame 11 by bolts. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 14 and the second rotating shaft 18 are fitted with collars 21, and the two collars 21 on the same side are connected by an elastic band 22.

[0024] It provides additional stability to the entire structure; during equipment operation, when the drive roller 6 and driven roller 7 sway due to factors such as changes in cable tension and minor vibrations during rotation, the elastic band 22 can act as a buffer and restraint; for example, when the cable is suddenly subjected to a large tension, causing the drive roller 6 and driven roller 7 to tend to shift outward, the elastic band 22 can use its own elasticity to generate an inward tension, keeping the shaft and rollers in a relatively stable position, preventing them from swaying excessively and affecting the normal transmission and length measurement of the cable.

[0025] The limiting spring force within the second limiting rod 16 is greater than that within the first limiting rod 12. This allows the second limiting roller to provide stronger support for the cable. In practical applications, the cable tends to sag downwards due to its own weight. The lower limiting spring with greater elasticity can better resist the cable's weight, preventing excessive sag and ensuring the cable's relatively stable position in the vertical direction. This difference in elasticity helps to create a reasonable tension distribution on the cable. The first limiting rod 12 with less elasticity can limit the cable's upward movement without excessively compressing it, while the second limiting rod 16 with greater elasticity ensures sufficient support at the bottom of the cable. This tension distribution allows the cable to maintain a suitable tension state during transmission, preventing damage to the internal structure due to excessive tension or loosening and tangling due to insufficient tension. This is beneficial for smooth cable transmission and accurate length measurement.

[0026] Two vertical rods 23 are symmetrically and rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 3, and each vertical rod 23 is equipped with a guide roller 24. The two guide rollers 24 are located at the front end of the support frame 11. The two guide rollers 24 can effectively limit the left and right sway of the cable, so that the cable maintains a relatively stable linear motion state when entering the support frame 11. This is crucial for the meter counter that relies on the active roller 6 and the driven roller 7 to accurately measure the length of the cable, because stable cable movement can reduce the sliding error between the cable and the roller surface caused by cable swaying, and greatly improve the accuracy and precision of meter counting.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
