Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable laying technology, and in particular to an automatic cable laying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the current domestic wire and cable industry, flat metal wire has higher conductivity and heat dissipation than traditional round metal wire, making it more suitable for conventional electrical applications. However, the manufacturing process for flat metal wire is more complex than that for round wire. Traditional wire laying devices can only rotate the wire spool and then move the wire laying guide wheel linearly to achieve the wire laying function. Because flat wire has sharp edges, traditional wire laying devices cannot meet the surface processing requirements of flat wire, and are prone to causing scratches on the surface of flat wire during the laying process, thus limiting its application range. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic wire laying device, which can move linearly while rotating to realize the wire laying function, avoid damage to the surface of the wire during the laying process, and has a wide range of applications.

[0008] Mounting base drive component, the mounting base drive component is used to drive the mounting base to reciprocate along the X-axis direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base drive component includes a first drive motor and a lead screw. The first drive motor is connected to the lead screw to drive the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw is provided with a lead screw nut, which is connected to the bottom of the mounting base and is used to move along the X-axis direction when the lead screw rotates, so that the mounting base moves along the X-axis direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the lead screw is equipped with an encoder, which is used to rotate when the lead screw rotates to receive the rotation signal of the lead screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting base is provided with a connecting block, which is connected to the lead screw nut.

[0012] Furthermore, the device includes a base, on which a guide rail is provided, the guide rail extending along the X-axis direction, and a slider at the bottom of the mounting base, the slider being used to slide and engage with the guide rail when the mounting base moves along the X-axis direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the base is provided with two guide rails, which are spaced apart to form an installation interval, and the mounting seat drive is located within the installation interval; the bottom of the mounting seat is provided with at least two pairs of sliders, which are located on both sides of the mounting seat and slide in cooperation with the guide rails respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a limiting rod, which is used to abut against an external structure when the mounting base moves along the X-axis direction.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a wire breakage detection device, which is used to detect the condition of the wire and send a wire breakage signal; the drive shaft is equipped with an electromagnetic brake, which is used to drive the drive shaft to stop rotating after receiving the wire breakage signal.

[0019] In summary, the automatic wire winding device provided by this utility model has the following technical effects: the wire winding assembly is installed on the mounting base. Since the mounting base can move along the X-axis, the wire spool located on the mounting base can also move along the X-axis. In this way, while the wire spool is rotating and winding the wire, it can also move linearly along the X-axis, so that the wire can be evenly arranged on the wire spool while winding, reducing the probability of damage to the wire surface. Therefore, it can be used for winding and arranging various types of wires such as round wires or flat wires, and has a wide range of applications. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses an automatic cable laying device, including: a mounting base 11, a mounting base drive 12, and a cable laying assembly. The mounting base drive 12 drives the mounting base 11 to move linearly along the X-axis. The cable laying assembly is mounted on the mounting base 11. The cable laying assembly includes a spool 20 and a spool drive. The spool 20 is used to wind the cable when rotating, and the spool drive is used to drive the spool 20 to rotate.

[0029] Based on the above structure, taking the X-axis direction as the left and right direction of the mounting plate as an example, during assembly, since the entire cable assembly is mounted on the mounting base 11, when the mounting base drive 12 drives the mounting base 11 to reciprocate along the X-axis direction (that is, the left and right direction of the mounting base 11), the cable reel 20 connected to the mounting base 11 and the cable reel drive 12 will move linearly along the X-axis direction together.

[0030] When specifically applied in wire winding equipment, the wire reel 20 is driven to rotate by a wire reel drive component, thereby winding the wire. Simultaneously, during the rotation of the wire reel 20, the mounting base 11 moves along the X-axis, causing the wire reel 20 to move along with the wire while winding. This linear movement of the wire reel 20 ensures that the wire is not simply stacked layer by layer during winding, but rather experiences a certain lateral displacement. This reduces friction caused by mutual compression and misalignment between the wires, thus lowering the possibility of scratches on the wire surface. Furthermore, because the wire reel 20 continuously moves along the X-axis during winding, the wire continuously moves in the left-right direction, resulting in a neat and uniform arrangement on the wire reel 20, improving winding quality.

[0031] Compared to traditional wiring devices that use linear movement of wiring guide wheels to lay wires, the structure and movement of the wiring guide wheels limit the shape of the wires. For non-circular wires, such as flat wires, the edges of the flat wires are prone to jamming or rubbing against the guide wheels during the wiring process, increasing the possibility of surface damage.

[0032] Therefore, in this embodiment, by combining linear movement and rotation of the coil 20, the composite movement of the coil 20 can be adjusted in real time according to the actual shape of the wire and the winding situation during the winding process. For example, when the angle of the wound flat wire changes or it bends slightly, the rotation and linear movement of the coil 20 can work together to allow the flat wire to be adjusted accordingly with the movement of the coil 20. It will not be hindered or excessively squeezed due to slight changes in shape. Therefore, it has a higher tolerance for wire shape. Whether it is round or flat wire, it can be naturally arranged on the coil 20 with the movement of the coil 20 during the winding process. The edges of the flat wire will not be restricted or squeezed by traditional guide wheels. It can better adapt to the winding and unwinding needs of wires with different shapes, making the entire device more widely applicable.

[0033] It should be noted that the mounting base drive component 12 in this embodiment can be selected from existing servo motors, AC motors or DC motors and other drive components. During assembly, the mounting base 11 can be connected to the motor through a transmission component, such as through a lead screw nut 123, so that the motor drives the lead screw 122 to rotate and drive the mounting base 11 to make linear motion.

[0034] Of course, the mounting base 11 can also be connected to the motor through transmission components such as gears and racks. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the shaft of the gear through the meshing of the gear and rack or the transmission belt 33. The motor drives the gear to rotate, and the rack is fixed on the path where the mounting base 11 needs to move, meshing with the gear. When the gear rotates under the drive of the motor, it will drive the meshing rack to make linear motion, thereby causing the mounting base 11 to produce linear displacement. The specific connection method of the mounting base 11 and the mounting base drive component 12 can be designed according to the actual needs.

[0035] In addition, the coil drive can be a servo motor, AC motor or DC motor. During assembly, the coil 20 can be directly connected to the motor output shaft so that the coil 20 can be directly driven to rotate by the motor. Of course, the coil 20 can also be connected to the coil drive through a lead screw nut 123, gear and transmission belt 33 or other transmission components so that the transmission components can be driven to rotate by the motor to drive the coil 20 to rotate. The specific installation can be based on actual needs.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting base drive component 12 includes a first drive motor 121 and a lead screw 122. The first drive motor 121 is connected to the lead screw 122 to drive the lead screw 122 to rotate. The lead screw 122 is provided with a lead screw nut 123, which is connected to the bottom of the mounting base 11 and moves along the X-axis direction when the lead screw 122 rotates, so that the mounting base 11 moves along the X-axis direction.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting base 11 is connected to the lead screw 122 via a lead screw nut 123. Thus, by controlling the rotation direction and speed of the first drive motor 121, the rotation direction and speed of the lead screw 122 can be controlled. When the first drive motor 121 rotates forward, the lead screw 122 rotates in the forward direction, and the lead screw nut 123 drives the mounting base 11 to move in the forward direction along the X-axis. When the first drive motor 121 rotates in reverse, the lead screw 122 rotates in the reverse direction, and the lead screw nut 123 drives the mounting base 11 to move in the reverse direction along the X-axis, so that the mounting base 11 can reciprocate along the X-axis.

[0038] Compared to other transmission methods such as gears and racks, the screw nut 123 moves smoothly along the screw nut 122 during transmission because the screw thread of the screw 122 is continuous and uniform, without generating significant vibration and impact, making the movement of the mounting base 11 more stable.

[0039] More specifically, an encoder 40 is installed on the lead screw 122. The encoder 40 rotates when the lead screw 122 rotates to receive the rotation signal of the lead screw 122. Through the rotation signal of the lead screw 122 fed back by the encoder 40, the control system can adjust the moving speed and distance of the mounting base 11 according to the actual situation to adapt to the winding and unwinding requirements of different wires. For thicker wires, the winding spacing can be appropriately increased, while for thinner wires, the spacing can be reduced to achieve more flexible winding control. In this way, during the winding and unwinding process, the starting position, ending position, and spacing of each layer of winding can be controlled to ensure that the wires are neatly and evenly arranged on the wire reel 20, avoiding problems such as winding misalignment and overlap.

[0040] It should be noted that the encoder 40 can be an existing photoelectric encoder or an inductive encoder, etc., used to calculate the rotation of the lead screw 122.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting base 11 is provided with a connecting block 111, which is connected to the lead screw nut 123.

[0042] Specifically, since the lead screw nut 123 is usually relatively small, direct connection with the mounting base 11 may face problems such as limited operating space and positioning difficulties. Therefore, in this embodiment, a connecting block 111 is provided as a transitional connection component between the mounting base 11 and the lead screw nut 123. The connecting block 111 can be pre-machined with suitable mounting holes and connection structures to facilitate docking with the mounting base 11 and the lead screw nut 123, making the installation process simpler and more efficient, and reducing the difficulty and complexity of installation.

[0043] Furthermore, different mounting bases 11 and lead screw nuts 123 may have different sizes and connection methods. The connecting block 111 can serve as an intermediate adapter. By adjusting its size and shape, it is possible to easily connect mounting bases 11 of different specifications with lead screw nuts 123, thereby improving the versatility and compatibility of the equipment.

[0044] Furthermore, the device includes a base 10, on which a guide rail 13 is provided. The guide rail 13 extends along the X-axis direction. A slider 14 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 11. The slider 14 slides in cooperation with the guide rail 13 when the mounting base 11 moves along the X-axis direction.

[0045] Specifically, this embodiment also includes a base 10. During assembly, a guide rail 13 is provided on the base 10. The guide rail 13 provides guidance for the movement of the mounting base 11. When the mounting base 11 moves along the X-axis under the drive of the lead screw nut 123 and other driving devices, the slider 14 slides along the guide rail 13, so that the mounting base 11 can only move in the specified straight line direction. This avoids the mounting base 11 from deviating or shaking during the movement, ensuring the straightness of the movement and making the movement of the mounting base 11 more stable.

[0046] In addition, the stable mounting base 11 makes it less likely for the coil 20 mounted on the mounting base 11 to shake during the winding process, reducing the phenomenon that the wire cannot be wound in the predetermined way due to the shaking of the coil 20 caused by the shaking of the mounting base 11, and indirectly avoiding problems such as wire routing disorder and overlap caused by the shaking of the coil 20, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of winding.

[0047] Furthermore, the base 10 is provided with two guide rails 13, which are spaced apart to form an installation interval. During assembly, the mounting base drive component 12 is located within the installation interval. The bottom of the mounting base 11 is provided with at least two pairs of sliders 14, which are located on both sides of the mounting base 11 and slide in cooperation with the guide rails 13 respectively.

[0048] Specifically, by setting two guide rails 13 at intervals to form an installation gap, an installation space is provided for the mounting base drive component 12, and a movement space is also provided for the mounting base 11. In addition, compared with a single guide rail 13, two guide rails 13 provide two-point support for the mounting base 11, and the sliders 14 on both sides of the mounting base 11 cooperate with the guide rails 13 respectively, so that the mounting base 11 can maintain balance during movement. When the mounting base 11 is subjected to lateral force, the guide rails 13 and sliders 14 on both sides can jointly bear and disperse these forces, preventing the mounting base 11 from tilting or shaking, further ensuring the stability of the winding process of the coil 20 and reducing the risk of damage during the winding process of the wire.

[0049] Furthermore, the mounting base 11 is provided with a limiting rod 15, which abuts against the external structure when the mounting base 11 moves along the X-axis.

[0050] Specifically, during the cable laying process, the mounting base 11 needs to move back and forth within a certain range to achieve uniform cable arrangement. Therefore, in this embodiment, the limit rod 15 can define this range. When the mounting base 11 reaches the limit rod 15 and collides with the external structure, it means that the mounting base 11 has reached the designated position, thereby reminding the operator to move in the opposite direction to avoid the cable laying exceeding the boundary of the cable reel 20 or the cable laying overlapping. In addition, the limit rod 15 can also improve the safety of operation and prevent the mounting base 11 from colliding with other components due to excessive movement and damaging the equipment.

[0051] It should be noted that the external structure referred to in this embodiment can be a photoelectric sensor or limit switch or other detection device installed on the base 10 or workbench. When the limit rod 15 touches the photoelectric sensor or limit switch on the device, the photoelectric sensor or limit switch sends a signal to the background system to remind the operator to move the mounting base 11 to the designated position, so that it can start to move in reverse to ensure the quality and efficiency of the cabling.

[0052] Furthermore, the spool drive includes a second drive motor 30 and a transmission component. The transmission component includes a drive wheel 31, a driven wheel 32, and a transmission belt 33. The mounting base 11 is provided with a bearing seat 50, and a transmission shaft 51 passes through the bearing seat 50. One end of the transmission shaft 51 is connected to the spool 20, and the other end of the transmission shaft 51 is connected to the driven wheel 32. The second drive motor 30 is connected to the drive wheel 31 and drives the drive wheel 31 to rotate. The transmission belt 33 is wound around the drive wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32 respectively, and drives the driven wheel 32 to rotate when the drive wheel 31 rotates. The transmission shaft 51 rotates when the driven wheel 32 rotates, so that the spool 20 rotates.

[0053] Based on this structure, during assembly, the drive shaft 51 is mounted on the mounting base 11 via the bearing seat 50. The bearing seat 50 supports the drive shaft 51, reduces the frictional resistance when the drive shaft 51 rotates, and ensures that the drive shaft 51 can rotate smoothly and steadily, which indirectly ensures the stability of the rotation of the coil 20.

[0054] Specifically, the motor shaft of the second drive motor 30 is connected to the drive wheel 31. When the motor shaft rotates, it can directly drive the drive wheel 31 to rotate together. Since the transmission belt 33 is wound around the drive wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32, when the drive wheel 31 rotates, it can drive the transmission belt 33 to move, causing the driven wheel 32 to rotate. This causes the transmission shaft 51 connected to the driven wheel 32 to rotate as well, thereby driving the spool 20 mounted on the transmission shaft 51 to rotate, thus realizing the winding and unwinding operation of the wire.

[0055] Compared to other transmission methods, the transmission belt 33 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can play a role in buffering and shock absorption during power transmission. When the second drive motor 30 starts or stops, the transmission belt 33 can absorb some of the impact energy, thereby reducing the impact force on components such as the drive shaft 51 and the coil 20, reducing the risk of wear and damage to the equipment, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0056] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the first drive motor and the second drive motor can be existing servo motors, AC motors or DC motors, etc.; while the transmission belt 33 can be existing flat belts, synchronous belts, multi-ribbed belts or V-belts, etc.

[0057] Preferably, the transmission belt 33 in this embodiment is a flat belt. Compared with synchronous belts, multi-ribbed belts, or V-belts, flat belts are easier to maintain. They do not require regular inspection of tooth wear like synchronous belts, nor do they require special attention to the wear of the wedge surface or side like multi-ribbed belts and V-belts. When a flat belt shows slight wear, it can be used again by adjusting the tension or making simple repairs, which reduces maintenance costs and replacement frequency.

[0058] Furthermore, it also includes a wire breakage detection device, which is used to detect the condition of the wire and send a wire breakage signal. The drive shaft 51 is equipped with an electromagnetic brake, which drives the drive shaft 51 to stop rotating after receiving the wire breakage signal.

[0059] Based on the above structure, during assembly, the wire breakage detection component and the electromagnetic brake are electrically connected to the background control system. When the wire breakage detection component detects a broken wire, it will output a signal to the background control system. At this time, the control system receives the signal and sends a control signal to the electromagnetic brake to control its action, thereby controlling the rotation of the drive shaft 51 to prevent the wire reel 20 from spinning idly, which could damage or scatter the wire on the wire reel 20.

[0060] Specifically, the wire breakage detection device can be an existing photoelectric sensor, consisting of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits light, and when the wire passes normally, the light is blocked or reflected by the wire, causing a change in the light signal received by the receiver. When the wire breaks, the blocking or reflection of the light changes, and the receiver detects this change and sends a signal to the backend control system. Alternatively, the wire breakage detection device can be an existing microswitch. During assembly, it is installed on the path of the wire. When the wire passes normally, it exerts a certain pressure or displacement on the microswitch, causing it to be in a closed or open state. When the wire breaks, the effect on the microswitch disappears, and the state of the microswitch changes, thus sending an electrical signal to the backend control system. Of course, the specific wire breakage detection device can also use existing limit switches or other structures, depending on the actual situation.

[0061] Furthermore, the electromagnetic brake in this embodiment is selected from existing electromagnetic eddy current brakes or electromagnetic friction brakes, etc.

[0062] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
