Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable splitting device technology, specifically to a cable splitting device. Background Technology

[0002] Cable branching devices, as an indispensable key component in power transmission systems, are mainly used to realize the branching function of cables. Their core role is to complete the tasks of cable splitting and transfer. In actual operation, when it is necessary to split cables, the operator first needs to cut open the cable sheath. Then, depending on the specific number of cables to be split and the special requirements for the cable core, the cable core is cut again. Subsequently, the cable core is carefully pulled out and reliably connected to the external cable. Finally, the entire assembly is tightly wrapped with insulation to ensure the safe and stable operation of the cable system after branching.

[0003] Taking the cable splitting device shown in Chinese utility model patent CN220510644U as an example, this is a relatively common type of cable splitting equipment, typically consisting of a cutting ring and a handle. During cable splitting, the cutting ring is first placed on the cable, allowing the cutter inside the ring to accurately insert into the cable. Then, the operator manually holds the handle, slowly moving the cutting ring along the length of the cable to achieve the cable splitting operation.

[0004] However, this traditional cable splitting device has significant limitations. Since the splitting process relies entirely on manual movement of the cutting ring, operators often struggle to move it when encountering cables with high rigidity. This not only significantly increases the labor intensity for workers but can also lead to low splitting efficiency, affecting the overall construction progress and causing inconvenience in practical applications.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0030] To address the technical problems of existing technologies that require manual movement of the cutting ring, which is difficult to operate when dealing with cables with high rigidity, resulting in high labor intensity and low cable separation efficiency, this utility model provides a cable separation device that can reduce the labor intensity of cable separation operations and improve separation efficiency.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a cable splitting device in one embodiment of the present invention. The cable splitting device includes a positioning mechanism 1, a cutting mechanism 2, and a translation mechanism 3.

[0032] The positioning mechanism 1 includes a positioning block 11, on which a receiving position 111 is formed for placing a cable and keeping the cable in a straight state.

[0033] The cutting mechanism 2 includes a lifting drive 21 and a cutting part 22. The movable end of the lifting drive 21 is connected to the cutting part 22 and is used to drive the cutting part 22 to be inserted into the cable in the receiving position 111.

[0034] The translation mechanism 3 is connected to the fixed end of the lifting drive 21 and is used to drive the lifting drive 21 to move along the extension direction parallel to the receiving position 111.

[0035] In use, the cable to be split is placed in the receiving position 111 of the positioning block 11 of the positioning mechanism 1. The receiving position 111 keeps the cable in a straight state. The lifting drive 21 of the cutting mechanism 2 is activated, and its movable end pushes the cutting part 22 downward. During this process, the cutting part 22 gradually approaches the cable. When the cutting part 22 contacts the cable, it continues to insert the cable under the drive of the lifting drive 21 to complete the cutting action on the cable sheath or core. Then, the translation mechanism 3 starts to work, pushing the lifting drive 21 to translate parallel to the length direction of the cable. The cutting part 22 will move along the length direction of the cable as the lifting drive 21 moves, realizing the continuous splitting of the cable.

[0036] The technical solution provided by this utility model eliminates the need for manual operation to move the cutting component along the cable, reducing manual labor and significantly lowering the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, the mechanical automation of cutting and translation is faster than manual operation, enabling more efficient cable splitting and improving overall splitting efficiency.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The receiving position 111 is a receiving groove formed on the positioning block 11, and the width of the receiving groove gradually decreases along the depth direction of the receiving groove.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 The translation mechanism 3 includes a base plate 31, a linear motion component 32, and a translation block 33. The fixed ends of the positioning block 11 and the linear motion component 32 are both fixed to the base plate 31, the translation block 33 is fixed to the movable end of the linear motion component 32, and the fixed end of the lifting drive component 21 is fixed to the translation block 33. The design of the receiving groove width gradually decreasing along the depth direction allows the cable to naturally slide to the bottom of the groove during placement, achieving precise positioning. The cable is tightly confined within the receiving groove, preventing shaking or displacement during the splitting process. This provides a stable operating foundation for the cutting mechanism, ensuring that the cutter can accurately cut the cable, avoiding cutting errors caused by cable position deviation, and improving the splitting quality. Simultaneously, this design can accommodate cables of different diameters. For thinner cables, they will be located at the narrower bottom of the receiving groove, while thicker cables will find a suitable placement position in the wider upper part, ensuring that cables of different specifications can maintain a straight state within the receiving groove. This improves the versatility of the cable splitting device and reduces operational difficulties caused by differences in cable specifications.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4The translation mechanism 3 further includes two end plates 34. The two ends of the positioning block 11 are respectively fixed to the two end plates 34, forming a clearance channel between the positioning block 11 and the base plate 31. One end of the translation block 33 is fixed to the movable end of the linear motion component 32, and the other end of the translation block 33 passes through the clearance channel and is fixed to the fixed end of the lifting drive component 21. In this embodiment, the two end plates 34 respectively fix the two ends of the positioning block 11, providing additional support points for the positioning block 11, making it more stable in the entire device and less prone to shaking or displacement. This stable positioning block 11 can better maintain the straightness of the cable, ensuring accurate cutting of the cable by the cutting mechanism, and also enhancing the structural strength of the entire translation mechanism, ensuring the reliability of the device during long-term use. Simultaneously, the translation block 33 is connected to the lifting drive component 21 through the clearance channel, which provides space for the movement of the translation block 33, avoiding interference between the translation block 33 and other components during movement. Meanwhile, this design allows the translation block 33 to drive the lifting drive component 21 to move more smoothly along the extension direction parallel to the receiving position 111, ensuring that the cutting mechanism can perform translational cutting operations smoothly during the line separation process, thereby improving line separation efficiency and quality.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 The linear motion assembly 32 includes a cylinder 321, a magnetic valve core 322, a sliding sleeve 323, and a bidirectional pump body. The two ends of the cylinder 321 are respectively fixed to the two end plates 34. The cylinder 321 is parallel to the extension direction of the receiving position 111. The two ends of the cylinder 321 are sealed. Two fluid inlets and outlets 3211 are respectively opened at the two ends of the cylinder 321. The magnetic valve core 322 is sealed and slidably disposed inside the cylinder 321. The sliding sleeve 323 is slidably sleeved outside the cylinder 321 and magnetically connected to the magnetic valve core 322. The two fluid interfaces of the bidirectional pump body are respectively connected to the two fluid inlets and outlets 3211.

[0041] In this embodiment, the bidirectional pump body, connected to the fluid inlet / outlet 3211 at both ends of the cylinder 321, can precisely control the direction and flow rate of the fluid. When the bidirectional pump body inputs fluid to one end of the cylinder 321, it pushes the magnetic valve core 322 to slide inside the cylinder 321, thereby driving the magnetically connected sliding sleeve 323 to move. This fluid-driven method, compared with traditional mechanical transmission, provides smoother power output, reduces vibration and impact, and ensures the stability of the translation mechanism when driving the lifting drive component 21, enabling the cutting mechanism to perform cable splitting operations at a uniform speed and stably, improving the splitting quality. At the same time, the magnetic connection between the magnetic valve core 322 and the sliding sleeve 323, and their sliding cooperation inside and outside the cylinder 321, makes the translation movement more precise. The precise control of the fluid by the bidirectional pump body can achieve precise adjustment of the position of the magnetic valve core 322, thereby precisely controlling the moving distance and speed of the sliding sleeve 323 and the translation block 33 connected to it.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 The linear motion assembly 32 further includes a connector 324, which comprises a mounting block 3241, two fluid connectors 3242, and two pipes 3243. The mounting block 3241 is fixed to the base plate 31. The two fluid connectors 3242 are arranged side-by-side and fixed to the mounting block 3241, and are used to communicate with the two fluid interfaces of the bidirectional pump body, respectively. One end of each of the two pipes 3243 is connected to the two fluid connectors 3242, and the other end of each pipe is connected to the two fluid inlets / outlets 3211, respectively. In this embodiment, the independent connector 324 design makes device maintenance or component replacement more convenient.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 The lifting drive component 21 includes a lifting drive cylinder 211 and a lifting block 212. The fixed end of the lifting drive cylinder 211 is fixed to the translation block 33, and the movable end of the lifting drive cylinder 211 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 212. The cutting part 22 is fixed to the lifting block 212.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-5The cutting section 22 includes a top plate 221, a fixing member 222, and a cutter 223. The top plate 221 is fixed to the lifting block 212, the fixing member 222 is fixed to the top plate 221, and the cutter 223 is fixed to the fixing member 222 and is used to insert into the cable in the receiving position 111. In this embodiment, the top plate 221 is fixed on the lifting block 212 to ensure that the cutting section 22 can rise and fall stably with the movement of the lifting drive member 21. The fixing member 222 is firmly connected to the top plate 221, providing reliable support for the cutter 223, making the cutter 223 stable during cable insertion, preventing it from shaking or shifting, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the cut, and improving the quality of cable separation.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-5 The fixing component 222 includes a fixing block 2221 and an embedding block 2222. The fixing block 2221 is fixed to the top plate 221. The fixing block 2221 has a limiting groove 22211 and a cutting groove 22212 communicating with the limiting groove 22211. The embedding block 2222 is embedded in the limiting groove 22211 and is fixedly connected to both the top plate 221 and the fixing block 2221. The cutter 223 is fixed to the embedding block 2222 and passes through the cutting groove 22212. In this embodiment, the design of the limiting groove 22211 and the embedding block 2222 makes the installation and adjustment of the cutter 223 simple and convenient. When installing the cutter 223, simply embed the embedding block 2222 into the limiting groove 22211 and then fix the cutter 223 on the embedding block 2222. If it is necessary to make minor adjustments to the position of the cutter 223, or to replace the cutter 223 with a different specification to adapt to different cable branching requirements, the operation can be completed quickly, reducing the time cost of installation and adjustment and improving work efficiency.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-5 The top plate 221 has a through hole 2211, the embedded block 2222 has a first screw hole 22221 coaxial with the through hole 2211, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 22211 has a second screw hole coaxial with the first screw hole 22221. The fixing block 2221 also includes a fixing screw, which passes through the through hole 2211 and is threadedly connected to both the first screw hole 22221 and the second screw hole. In this embodiment, a threaded connection is used. During installation, the operator only needs to use a simple tool to screw the fixing screw into the corresponding screw hole to complete the assembly, making the operation simple and quick. When disassembly is required for maintenance or replacement of parts, the fixing screw can be rotated in the opposite direction to easily separate the parts, reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs, and improving the maintainability of the device.

[0047] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 6 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: The cable to be separated is placed in the receiving position 111 of the positioning block 11 of the positioning mechanism 1. The lifting drive component 21 of the cutting mechanism 2 is activated. Taking the lifting drive cylinder 211 as an example, its movable end pushes the lifting block 212, thereby driving the cutting part 22 connected to it to move downward. During this process, the cutter 223 of the cutting part 22 gradually approaches the cable. After the cutter 223 contacts the cable, it continues to insert the cable under the drive of the lifting drive component 21, completing the cutting action on the cable sheath or cable core, and achieving the initial separation purpose. The translation mechanism 3 starts to work. The linear movement component 32 delivers fluid to different fluid inlets and outlets 3211 of the cylinder 321 through the bidirectional pump body, pushing the magnetic valve core 322 to slide inside the cylinder 321, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 323 magnetically connected to it to move. The sliding sleeve 323 drives the translation block 33 to move along the extension direction parallel to the receiving position 111. Since the fixed end of the lifting drive component 21 is fixed to the translation block 33, the cutting mechanism 2 will move along the cable length direction as the translation block 33 moves, thereby realizing continuous splitting of the cable.

[0048] In summary, the technical solution provided by this utility model eliminates the need for manual operation to move the cutting component along the cable, reducing manual labor and significantly lowering the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, the mechanical automation of cutting and translation is faster than manual operation, enabling more efficient cable splitting and improving overall splitting efficiency.

[0049] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
