Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical cable protection tube processing technology, and in particular relates to a feeding device for optical cable protection tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Optical cable protection steel pipes are key facilities used in optical cable line projects to protect optical cables from mechanical damage, environmental corrosion and external interference.

[0003] In the existing production and processing of optical cable protection steel pipes, the surface of the basic steel pipe needs to be hot-dip plasticized. Before hot-dip plasticizing, the steel pipe needs to be preheated. During the preheating process, the steel pipe is conveyed into the heating furnace by a conveyor belt. When the steel pipe is transferred from the storage rack to the conveyor belt, a corresponding feeding device is required. Most of the existing feeding devices are simple hooks. Then, the workers stand at both ends of the steel pipe, hang the hooks on the ends of the steel pipe, and lift it to the conveyor belt. The manual operation is labor-intensive and inconvenient for quickly lifting and transferring the steel pipe. Therefore, we propose a feeding device for optical cable protection pipes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a feeding device for optical cable protection tubes to solve the technical problem of the inconvenience of quickly lifting and transferring steel pipes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A feeding device for optical cable protection tubes includes a hanger, with slings fixed on both sides of the top of the hanger. The tops of the two slings are connected to a gantry crane. The device also includes two conical blocks and a first electric push rod. The two conical blocks are rotatably mounted on the two side walls of the inner cavity of the hanger. The first electric push rod is fixedly mounted on one side wall of the hanger. The outer end of the push rod of the first electric push rod movably passes through the hanger and is rotatably connected to the conical block through a bearing.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a scraper and a dual-axis motor. The scraper is disposed on one side of the hanger and is connected to the hanger via a lifting assembly. The dual-axis motor is fixed to the other side wall of the hanger, and one end of the drive shaft of the dual-axis motor passes through the hanger and is fixedly connected to the conical block.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a second electric push rod and two limiting rods. The second electric push rod is fixedly installed on the top of the hanger. The push rod of the second electric push rod moves through the hanger and is fixedly connected to a connecting plate. The connecting plate is connected to a scraper. The two limiting rods are respectively fixed on both sides of the top of the connecting plate and move through the hanger.

[0009] Furthermore, the scraper has grooves on both sides of its back side, and a fixing rod is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the groove. A matching sliding block is fitted on the outer wall of the fixing rod. The outer wall of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. A spring is fitted on the lower side of the outer wall of the fixing rod. The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block and the bottom of the inner cavity of the groove, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a blower assembly, which includes a fixed housing and an air outlet pipe. The fixed housing is disposed on one side of the dual-axis motor. A rotating shaft is disposed inside the cavity of the fixed housing. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft at the other end of the dual-axis motor. Four fan blades are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and the four fan blades are evenly distributed in a ring. A conical shell is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed housing. The conical shell is connected to a scraper through a pipe. The scraper has a hollow structure.

[0011] The number of air outlet pipes is multiple, and the multiple air outlet pipes are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the scraper, and the outlet of the air outlet pipe is set to be aligned with the tail end of the scraper.

[0012] Furthermore, the blower assembly also includes an ion generator, which is disposed on one side of the conical shell. The output end of the conical shell is connected to one end of the ion generator, and the other end of the ion generator is connected to a pipe and a scraper.

[0013] Furthermore, the blower assembly also includes a fixing plate, which is fixed to one side wall of the hanger, and the bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the fixing shell and the top of the ion generator respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, handles are fixed to both sides of one side wall of the hanger.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the feeding device for optical cable protection tubes described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] The present invention discloses a feeding device for optical cable protection pipes. By releasing the sling, the sling is lowered to the steel pipe. Then, the first electric push rod drives the corresponding conical block to insert into the end of the steel pipe, thereby limiting the steel pipe with the conical blocks on both sides. Then, the gantry crane at the top of the sling is used to lift and transfer the pipe, thereby realizing rapid feeding of the steel pipe, which helps to save manpower and reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0018] The optical cable protection tube feeding device of this utility model uses a lifting component to drive the scraper to descend and adhere to the surface of the steel pipe during the transfer process, and uses a dual-axis motor to drive the steel pipe to rotate, thereby scraping off the surface impurities with the scraper, which is beneficial to improving the quality of subsequent hot-dip plastic coating, realizing cleaning while transferring, thus eliminating the need for separate cleaning later, saving time, and improving the processing efficiency of steel pipe.

[0019] The rotation of the steel pipe driven by the dual-axis motor can drive the cavity of the blower assembly's guide scraper, and then blow the air out through the air outlet pipe to the contact point between the steel pipe and the scraper. This can blow away a small amount of adhering impurities and also help avoid residual debris on the scraper surface. This also helps to prevent debris from adhering to the steel pipe again when the scraper is removed, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0020] Ions are generated by the ion generator in the blower assembly. The air generated by the blower assembly passes through the ion generator to form ion wind. This ion wind is then blown onto the scraper and the surface of the steel pipe to remove static electricity. This helps to prevent the steel pipe from adhering to more dust and impurities due to static electricity when it is moved again, thus improving the cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1-5As shown in the figure, as an embodiment, a feeding device for optical cable protection tube includes a hanger 1, with slings 15 fixed on both sides of the top of the hanger 1. The tops of the two slings 15 are connected to a gantry crane. The device also includes two conical blocks 11, which are rotatably installed on the two side walls of the inner cavity of the hanger 1. A first electric push rod 12 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the hanger 1. The outer end of the push rod of the first electric push rod 12 movably passes through the hanger 1 and is rotatably connected to the conical block 11 through a bearing.

[0034] It should be understood that in actual use, the gantry crane first releases the sling 15, and the crane is moved to the steel pipe under the manual stabilization of the operator. Then, the conical blocks 11 on both sides are aligned with the end of the steel pipe. Then, the first electric push rod 12 drives one of the conical blocks 11 to move inward, so that the two conical blocks 11 can be used to clamp and position the steel pipe. Then, the gantry crane lifts the sling 15 and can move it to the conveyor belt, thereby achieving rapid loading.

[0035] Specifically, handles 14 are fixed on both sides of one side wall of the hanger 1. The handles 14 make it convenient for staff to hold the handles 14 to assist in the transfer of the hanger 1.

[0036] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, it also includes a scraper 2, which is disposed on one side of the hanger 1. The scraper 2 is connected to the hanger 1 through a lifting assembly. A dual-axis motor 13 is fixed to the other side wall of the hanger 1. One end of the dual-axis motor 13 has a drive shaft that passes through the hanger 1 and is fixedly connected to the conical block 11.

[0037] It should be understood that during the transfer process, the lifting assembly drives the scraper 2 to descend, so that the scraper 2 can adhere to the surface of the steel pipe. The dual-axis motor 13 drives one of the conical blocks 11 to rotate, thereby driving the steel pipe to rotate. The scraper 2 can then scrape off the surface impurities, achieving simultaneous transfer and cleaning without the need for subsequent cleaning, saving time and improving processing efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 2-4 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a second electric push rod 21, which is fixedly installed on the top of the hanger 1. The push rod of the second electric push rod 21 moves through the hanger 1 and is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 23. The connecting plate 23 is connected to the scraper 2. Two limiting rods 22 are fixed on the top two sides of the connecting plate 23 respectively, and the limiting rods 22 move through the hanger 1.

[0039] It should be understood that the second electric actuator 21 can drive the connecting plate 23 to rise and fall, thereby driving the scraper 2 to rise and fall. When it is necessary to clean the steel pipe, the scraper 2 can be lowered so that it fits against the outer wall of the steel pipe. When the steel pipe is clamped by the conical block 11, the scraper 2 can be raised, which helps to avoid space obstruction when loading the steel pipe. At the same time, during the process of the second electric actuator 21 driving the scraper 2 to rise and fall, the limiting rod 22 can be used to limit the rise and fall, which helps to improve the stability of the rise and fall.

[0040] Specifically, the scraper 2 has grooves 24 on both sides of its back side. A fixing rod 25 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the groove 24. A matching sliding block is fitted on the outer wall of the fixing rod 25. The outer wall of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 23. A spring 26 is fitted on the lower side of the outer wall of the fixing rod 25. The two ends of the spring 26 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block and the bottom of the inner cavity of the groove 24, respectively.

[0041] It should be understood that when the second electric actuator 21 drives the connecting plate 23 to descend, thereby causing the scraper 2 to descend and adhere to the outer wall of the steel pipe, the scraper 2 will be subjected to a counter-pushing force, which will cause the sliding block to move upward in the opposite direction. This will stretch the spring 26 to a certain extent, so that the scraper 2 can be pressed tightly against the outer wall of the steel pipe under elastic tension. This helps to avoid the situation where rigid pressing and adhesion can easily cause excessive wear of the scraper 2, achieve elastic pressing and adhesion, and achieve adaptive adjustment of the pressing degree, which is beneficial to improving the use effect.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in the embodiment, it also includes a blower assembly, which includes a fixed housing 3, which is disposed on one side of the dual-axis motor 13. A rotating shaft 34 is disposed in the inner cavity of the fixed housing 3, and one end of the rotating shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the other end of the transmission shaft of the dual-axis motor 13. Four fan blades 35 are uniformly fixed in a ring on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 34. A conical shell 31 is fixed to one side wall of the fixed housing 3. The conical shell 31 is connected to the scraper 2 through a pipe. The scraper 2 is a hollow structure with multiple air outlet pipes 33. The multiple air outlet pipes 33 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the scraper 2, and the outlet of the air outlet pipe 33 is aligned with the tail end of the scraper 2.

[0043] It should be understood that during the process of the dual-shaft motor 13 driving the steel pipe to rotate, it can drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate, thereby driving the fan blade 35 to rotate, thus achieving air blowing. This directs the air force into the cavity of the scraper 2, and then blows it along the air outlet duct 33 to the contact point between the steel pipe and the scraper 2. This can blow away a small amount of adhering impurities, and also helps to avoid residual debris on the surface of the scraper 2. This also helps to prevent debris from adhering to the steel pipe again when the scraper 2 is detached, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the blower assembly further includes an ion generator 32, which is disposed on one side of the conical shell 31. The output end of the conical shell 31 is connected to one end of the ion generator 32, and the other end of the ion generator 32 is connected to the scraper 2 through a pipe.

[0045] It should be understood that the fan blades 35 blow air into the ion generator 32, so that the air becomes ionized air and flows out into the cavity of the scraper 2. The ionized air is then blown onto the scraper 2 and the surface of the steel pipe, thereby removing static electricity. This helps to prevent the steel pipe from adhering to more dust and impurities due to static electricity when it is moved again, and helps to improve the cleaning effect.

[0046] It should be noted that the ion generator 32 specifically consists of a housing and a high-voltage generator. The high-voltage generator is installed inside the housing, thereby generating a high-voltage electric field. When wind passes through the housing, it can ionize the air, forming positive and negative ions, thus creating ion wind.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the blower assembly also includes a fixing plate, which is fixed to one side wall of the hanger 1, and the bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the fixing shell 3 and the top of the ion generator 32 respectively.

[0048] It should be understood that the fixed plate is used to connect the fixed shell 3 and the ion generator 32, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixed shell 3 and the ion generator 32.

[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
