Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cable management in power transmission equipment, and in particular to an automatic cable retraction and deployment device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of power systems, the use of cables has increased dramatically, especially in large-scale projects and urban infrastructure construction, where a large number of cables require orderly management and storage. Traditional manual cable winding and unwinding methods are not only bulky and inefficient, but also prone to damaging cables and creating safety hazards. To address this, some systems are equipped with cable winding and unwinding racks and drive mechanisms that rotate the racks, enabling automatic cable winding and unwinding.

[0003] However, during the take-up and take-down process, the cable may become tangled and messy on the take-up and take-down rack due to the tension, affecting the take-up and take-down quality, so further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the quality of cable winding and unwinding, this application provides an automatic cable winding and unwinding device.

[0005] This application provides an automatic cable reeling and unloading device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic cable reeling and unloading device includes a base, a reeling and unloading frame rotatably connected to the base, a drive mechanism disposed on the base to drive the reeling and unloading frame to rotate, and a limiting mechanism disposed on the cable reeling and unloading path. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting plate with a through groove and two flexible plates symmetrically disposed at the through groove. The cable passes through the through groove, and a channel for the cable to pass through is left between the two flexible plates. The channel is smaller than the diameter of the cable.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after the cable is threaded through the slot and channel, since the channel is smaller than the diameter of the cable, a certain resistance is provided during the cable winding and unwinding process, so as to achieve the effect of sorting the cable and reduce the possibility of the cable getting tangled or relatively messy during winding and unwinding, thereby improving the quality of cable winding and unwinding.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting mechanism further includes an adjustment component for adjusting the width of the channel.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting an adjustment component to adjust the channel width, cables of different diameters can be installed, and the resistance of the flexible plate when it comes into contact with the cable can be adjusted as needed.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting plate includes two symmetrically arranged U-shaped plates, and the two flexible plates are respectively installed on the two U-shaped plates. The adjusting component includes an adjusting ring fixed to the U-shaped plate, a first lead screw threaded through the adjusting ring, and a first driving member for driving the first lead screw to rotate. The base is provided with a mounting bracket for the first lead screw to rotate and connect. The first driving member is provided on the mounting bracket, and the adjusting ring slides along the height direction of the mounting bracket.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving component is activated to drive the first lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting ring to slide along the height direction, thereby changing the distance between the two U-shaped plates, that is, the distance between the channels, to adapt to the installation of cables of different diameters.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a guiding mechanism for guiding the cable to reciprocate along the length of the take-up and take-down rack.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, since the take-up and release rack has a certain length, a guiding mechanism is set up to guide the cable to move back and forth along the length direction of the take-up and release rack, so as to perform a certain cable laying operation, reduce the possibility of the cable being bundled at one end of the take-up and release rack, and further improve the quality of cable take-up and release.

[0014] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a cable threading ring, a sliding frame disposed on the threading ring, and a second driving member that drives the sliding frame to slide along the take-up and put-down frame. The limiting plate has a first sliding groove along its own length direction for the sliding frame to slide and connect.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving component is activated to drive the sliding frame to slide along the length direction of the first sliding groove, thereby changing the position of the through ring in the length direction of the limiting plate, so as to perform cable laying operation.

[0016] Preferably, the base is provided with a cleaning assembly for cleaning the cables being retracted and extended.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, since the cable will come into contact with the ground during the winding process, dust or some sticky substances will adhere to the outer surface of the cable. When the cable is wound up on the winding rack, a cleaning component is installed to clean the outer surface of the cable.

[0018] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning sponge disposed on the inner wall of the through ring, a water supply component disposed on the sliding frame to supply water to the cleaning sponge, and two absorbent sponges respectively disposed on the surfaces of the two flexible plates that are close to each other, wherein the cleaning sponge has a second through hole for the cable to pass through.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the cable is cleaned by a cleaning sponge placed on the loop, and then when passing through the channel between the flexible plates, the remaining moisture on the cable is absorbed by a water-absorbing sponge.

[0020] Preferably, the flexible plate is provided with a sliding strip that slides along the height direction, and the limiting plate has a second groove on the surface near the flexible plate for the sliding strip to slide. A spring is provided between the inner walls of the sliding strip and the second groove, and the spring forces the flexible plate to move toward the direction closer to the cable.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the elasticity of the spring itself can drive the water-absorbing sponge to abut against the opposite sides of the cable away from the flexible plate, thereby improving the removal of water adhering to the cable when it passes through the cleaning sponge.

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. By setting a limiting mechanism, the flexible plate provides a certain resistance during the cable winding and unwinding process, which can help to organize the cable and reduce the possibility of the cable getting tangled or becoming relatively messy during winding and unwinding, thereby improving the quality of cable winding and unwinding.

[0024] 2. By setting up a guiding mechanism, the cable is guided to move back and forth along the length of the take-up and release rack to perform certain cable routing operations, reducing the possibility of the cable being bundled at one end of the take-up and release rack, thereby further improving the quality of cable take-up and release.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0033] This application discloses an automatic cable reel-in / out device.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] An automatic cable reel-in / out device, as described in the following description. Figure 1 , Figure 2 It includes a base 1, a take-up and drop-down rack 2 rotatably connected to the base 1, a drive mechanism 3 disposed on the base 1 to drive the take-up and drop-down rack 2 to rotate, a control mechanism 4 electrically connected to the drive mechanism 3, a housing 5 covering the base 1, and a limiting mechanism 6 disposed on the cable take-up and drop-down path.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3The base 1 has support legs 11 at its four corners. Along its length, the base 1 is divided into a take-up / deployment area 12 for rotatable connection to the take-up / deployment frame 2 and an installation area 13 for mounting the drive mechanism 3 and control mechanism 4. Rotating frames 14 for rotatable connection to the take-up / deployment frame 2 are located on both sides of the take-up / deployment area 12. One rotating frame 14 is located at the end of the base 1 furthest from the installation area 13, and the other rotating frame 14 is located between the take-up / deployment area 12 and the installation area 13. A first mounting rod 15 is located at the end of the base 1 in the installation area 13 furthest from the rotating frame 14. In the example, the length direction of the first mounting rod 15 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 1, and several of them are spaced apart along the width direction of the base 1. The upper end of the first mounting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the second mounting rod 16. The length direction of the second mounting rod 16 is parallel to the width direction of the base 1, so as to connect with several first mounting rods 15. Both ends of the second mounting rod 16 are fixedly connected to the third mounting rod 17, which is parallel to the length direction of the base 1. The third mounting rod 17 extends to the take-up and put-down area 12, so as to be fixedly connected to the two rotating frames 14, thereby improving the stability of the take-up and put-down frame 2 when rotating.

[0037] In this embodiment, for the rotation of the take-up and release frame 2, a rotating shaft 21 is fixedly inserted through the take-up and release frame 2. The length direction of the rotating shaft 21 is parallel to the length direction of the base 1. One end of the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to one of the rotating frames 14, and the other end of the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably inserted through the rotating frame 14 near the installation area 13 and extends into the installation area 13 to connect with the drive mechanism 3. In this embodiment, several take-up and release frames 2 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rotating shaft 21 to bundle cables of different sizes. Specifically, two take-up and release frames 2 are shown. To improve the support of the two take-up and release frames 2, a support frame 121 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1 located in the middle of the take-up and release area 12. The upper end of the support frame 121 extends between the two take-up and release frames 2 so that the rotating shaft 21 can rotate through it.

[0038] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 21 can be extended to be rotatably connected to the first mounting rod 15 to improve the stability of the take-up and take-down frame 2 when it rotates.

[0039] The drive mechanism 3 for the take-up and take-down rack 2 specifically includes a first drive motor 31 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a drive pulley 32 coaxially sleeved on the output shaft of the first drive motor 31, a driven pulley 33 coaxially sleeved on the rotating shaft 21, and a belt 34 wound around the drive pulley 32 and the driven pulley 33. The first drive motor 31 is started to drive the take-up and take-down rack 2 to rotate, thereby taking up and taking down the cable. The first drive motor 31 is specifically controlled by the control mechanism 4. It should be noted that the drive pulley 32 and the driven pulley 33 can be replaced with a drive sprocket and a driven sprocket, respectively, and the belt 34 can be replaced with a chain meshing with the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket, or it can be driven by other methods that drive the rotating shaft 21, depending on the specific requirements.

[0040] The control mechanism 4 may include only a central control platform electrically connected to the first drive motor 31, or it may also include a remote control connected to the central control platform. The two can be paired via Bluetooth or other remote control connections to enable cable retraction and extension when the retraction device is at a certain distance. Since this is prior art, it will not be described in detail here. Regarding the installation of the control mechanism 4, a fourth mounting rod 18 is fixedly connected between the rotating frame 14 near the mounting area 13 and the first mounting rod 15. The length direction of the fourth mounting rod 18 is parallel to the length direction of the base 1. A fifth mounting rod 19 extends from the fourth mounting rod 18 towards the mounting area 13. The length direction of the fifth mounting rod 19 is perpendicular to the length direction of the fourth mounting rod 18. Several fifth mounting rods 19 are spaced apart along the length direction of the fourth mounting rod 18, specifically two. The central control platform is fixedly connected to the two fifth mounting rods 19.

[0041] Back Figure 1 The outer shell 5 is fixed to the rotating frame 14, the third support rod, and the first mounting rod 15 near the edge of the base 1 to cover the various mechanisms. In this embodiment, the outer shell 5 is rectangular. One surface of the outer shell 5 has a first opening 51, which is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21. The outer shell 5 is rotatably connected to a first cabinet door 52 at the first opening 51 for opening and closing the first opening 51. There are two first cabinet doors 52, which are arranged in a doubly opening configuration. A cabinet door lock 53 is provided between the two first cabinet doors 52 for connection. The cabinet door lock 53 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Furthermore, a second opening 54 is provided on the surface of the outer casing 5 near the control mechanism 4. A second cabinet door 55 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 5 for opening and closing the second opening 54. There is one second cabinet door 55, which is also connected to the outer casing 5 via a cabinet door lock 53, thereby opening and closing the second opening 54.

[0043] Reference Figure 2, Figure 4 The limiting mechanism 6 includes a limiting plate 61 with a through slot 611 and two flexible plates 62 symmetrically arranged at the through slot 611. In this embodiment, the number of limiting plates 61 corresponds to the number of take-up and take-down areas 12. Specifically, the limiting plate 61 includes two symmetrically arranged U-shaped plates. The cable passes through the through slot 611, and the U-shaped plates are arranged between two rotating frames 14 and fixedly connected to the rotating frames 14. The two flexible plates 62 are respectively installed on the two U-shaped plates, and a channel 621 for the cable to pass through is left between the two flexible plates 62. The spacing of the channel 621 corresponds to the cable diameter, but the channel 621 is smaller than the cable diameter.

[0044] The implementation principle of the automatic cable winding and unwinding device in this application embodiment is as follows: after the cable is passed through the slot 611 and the channel 621, since the channel 621 is smaller than the diameter of the cable, a certain resistance is provided during the cable winding and unwinding process to achieve the effect of combing the cable, reducing the possibility of the cable getting tangled or relatively messy during winding and unwinding, thereby improving the quality of cable winding and unwinding.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] Reference Figure 5 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the limiting mechanism 6 further includes an adjusting component 7 for adjusting the width of the channel 621. The adjusting component 7 includes an adjusting ring 71 fixed to the side wall of the U-shaped plate, a first lead screw 72 threaded through the adjusting ring 71, and a first driving member 73 for driving the first lead screw 72 to rotate. The U-shaped plate is slidably connected to the rotating frame 14, and a mounting frame 141 for rotatably connecting the first lead screw 72 is provided on the base 1. Specifically, the mounting frame 141 is located between two rotating frames 14. The first lead screw 72 is a bidirectional threaded lead screw, located between the two limiting plates 61. The adjusting rings 71 are located on the side wall of the U-shaped plate near the first lead screw 72, and the first lead screw 72 passes through several adjusting rings 71. The first driving member 73 is fixed to the mounting frame 141. In this embodiment, the first driving member 73 is a second driving motor. Starting the second driving motor drives the adjusting rings 71 to slide along the height direction of the mounting frame 141.

[0047] Furthermore, to improve the cable winding and unwinding effect, this embodiment also includes a guiding mechanism 8 for guiding the cable to reciprocate along the length of the winding and unwinding frame 2. The guiding mechanism 8 includes a through-ring 81 for the cable to pass through, a sliding frame 82 disposed on the through-ring 81, and a second driving member 83 for driving the sliding frame 82 to slide along the winding and unwinding frame 2. The limiting plate 61 has a first sliding groove 612 along its own length for the sliding frame 82 to slide and connect. The second driving member 83 includes a second lead screw 831 built into the first sliding groove 612 to pass through the sliding frame 82, a first bevel gear 832 disposed on the second lead screw 831, a second bevel gear 833 meshing with the first bevel gear 832, and a third drive motor 834 fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate.

[0048] The sliding frame 82 has a first through hole for the threaded ring 81 to pass through. To facilitate the adaptation to cables of different diameters, the threaded ring 81 can be a snap metal hook or a cable tie, depending on the specific requirements.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] Reference Figure 6 The difference from Embodiment 2 is that the base 1 is provided with a cleaning assembly 9 for cleaning the cable being retracted. The cleaning assembly 9 includes a cleaning sponge 91 disposed on the inner wall of the through-ring 81, a water supply component (not shown in the figure) disposed on the sliding frame 82 to supply water to the cleaning sponge 91, and two absorbent sponges 92 respectively disposed on the surfaces of the two flexible plates 62 that are close to each other. In this embodiment, the cleaning sponge 91 has a second through hole for the cable to pass through. The cleaning sponge 91 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the cable. The cleaning sponge 91 is bonded to the inner wall of the through-ring 81 with double-sided adhesive. The absorbent sponges 92 are also bonded to the flexible plates 62 with double-sided adhesive so that they can be disassembled and replaced as needed. The water supply components may include a water pipe fixedly installed on the sliding frame 82, a water pump connected to the water pipe, and a water storage tank installed on the base 1. The sliding frame 82 has a water outlet channel 621 connected to the first through hole.
