Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable production and laying technology, specifically to an automatic optical cable laying and tying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber cable is a communication cable used to transmit optical signals. It consists of one or more optical fibers, each made of transparent materials such as glass or plastic with a high refractive index. Optical signals can be transmitted through these optical fibers. During the manufacturing process of optical fiber cable, fully automatic cable laying and tying machines can precisely control the cable laying process, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of cable stretching and alignment during manufacturing.

[0003] Traditional optical cable laying and tying operations mostly rely on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, lacking precise guiding and positioning devices. During the laying process, optical cables are prone to tangling and knotting, requiring frequent manual intervention and adjustment. Furthermore, in the take-up stage, the retraction adjustment precision of the take-up rod is insufficient, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the take-up force and speed according to different specifications of optical cables, resulting in damage to the surface of the optical cable or uneven take-up. To address these issues, we propose a fully automatic optical cable laying and tying machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fully automatic optical cable laying and tying machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the winding rod has insufficient adjustment precision in the winding stage, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the winding force and speed according to different specifications of optical cables, resulting in damage to the surface of the optical cable or uneven winding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A fully automatic fiber optic cable laying and tying machine includes a laying and tying machine body and a groove. The groove is located on the right side of the front of the laying and tying machine body. Guide rails are fixedly installed on both sides inside the groove. A slider is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rails. A guide roller is fixedly installed at the center position above the slider. A positioning plate is fixedly installed at the front end of the guide roller. A guide tube is fixedly installed at the front end of the positioning plate. A servo motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the front of the laying and tying machine body. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the servo motor. A rotating disc is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod. A sliding groove is formed around the surface of the rotating disc. A take-up rod is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding groove.

[0006] The wire feeding and tying machine has a control panel on the front, a support column fixedly installed on the top right side of the machine, and an optical cable roller movably installed on the top of the support column.

[0007] The wire feeding and tying machine body has a fixed plate on its left side, and a wire tying head is movably installed on one side of the fixed plate surface.

[0008] The slider slides and adjusts inside the groove via a guide rail, and is parallel and corresponding to the optical cable roller.

[0009] The guide rollers are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the slider, and are parallel to and correspond to the positioning plate and guide tube.

[0010] The guide tube is L-shaped, with one side of its surface parallel to the take-up rod.

[0011] The rotating disc is adjusted by rotating a rod on the left side of the front end of the wire feeding and tying machine body. A displacement sensor is installed on the back of the rotating disc, which drives the take-up rod to retract and adjust on the surface of the slide groove, and the tying head is perpendicular to the surface of the take-up rod.

[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By incorporating a sliding structure of guide rails and sliders within the groove, the slider can slide flexibly along the guide rails and correspond parallel to the optical cable rollers. Combined with symmetrically distributed guide rollers, positioning plates, and L-shaped guide tubes, precise guidance and positioning of the optical cable can be achieved. This effectively avoids problems such as tangling and deviation of the optical cable during the laying process, ensuring a stable path for the cable throughout transmission. This provides a reliable foundation for subsequent take-up and binding processes, greatly improving the quality of optical cable processing. When not in use, the slider can remain inside the equipment; when needed, it can be extended from within the equipment for convenient operation.

[0014] 2. The rotating disc is connected to a servo motor via a rotating rod, and a displacement sensor is installed on the back of the rotating disc to drive the take-up rod to retract and adjust on the slide surface. This achieves automation and precision in the take-up process. The displacement sensor can monitor the position and displacement of the take-up rod in real time. According to the specifications of the optical cable and the take-up requirements, the servo motor automatically adjusts the speed and angle of the rotating disc, thereby precisely controlling the retraction of the take-up rod, ensuring uniform take-up force and stable speed, avoiding damage to the optical cable due to improper take-up, and improving take-up efficiency.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic fiber optic cable laying and tying machine, including a laying and tying machine body 100 and a groove 200. The groove 200 is located on the right side of the front of the laying and tying machine body 100. Guide rails 201 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the groove 200. A slider 202 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rails 201. The slider 202 slides and adjusts inside the groove 200 through the guide rails 201 and is parallel to and corresponds to the fiber optic cable roller 103. A guide roller 203 is fixedly installed at the center position above the slider 202. The guide rollers 203 are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the slider 202 and are parallel to and correspond to the positioning plate 205 and the guide tube 206. The positioning plate 205 is fixedly installed at the front end of the guide roller 203. The guide tube 206 is L-shaped and has one side of its surface aligned with the optical cable roller 103. The take-up rod 209 is parallel to the wire feeding and tying machine body 100. A servo motor 212 is fixedly installed on the left side of the front of the machine body 100. A rotating rod 207 is fixedly connected to the front end of the servo motor 212. A rotating disc 204 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 207. The rotating disc 204 rotates and adjusts on the left side of the front of the machine body 100 via the rotating rod 207. A displacement sensor 213 is installed on the back of the rotating disc 204, which drives the take-up rod 209 to retract and adjust on the surface of the slide groove 208. The tying head 211 is perpendicular to the surface of the take-up rod 209. After the take-up rod 209 completes one take-up action, the tying head 211 starts under the command of the control system to automatically tie the optical cable to ensure that the cable is neatly fixed. The rotating disc 204 has slide grooves 208 around its surface, and the take-up rod 209 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide grooves 208.

[0025] The wire feeding and tying machine body 100 has a control panel 101 on the front, and a support column 102 is fixedly installed on the top right side of the wire feeding and tying machine body 100. An optical cable roller 103 is movably installed on the top of the support column 102.

[0026] A fixing plate 210 is fixedly installed on the left side of the wire feeding and tying machine body 100, and a wire tying head 211 is movably installed on one side of the surface of the fixing plate 210.

[0027] Working principle: Before the fully automatic optical cable laying and tying machine is put into operation, the operator first places the optical cable roll on the optical cable roller 103 on the right support column 102 at the top of the laying and tying machine body 100.

[0028] Upon entering the cable release stage, the optical cable, after being released from the optical cable roller 103, first passes through the guide structure within the groove 200. The guide rails 201 on both sides of the groove 200 and the slider 202 form a sliding pair, allowing the slider 202 to slide flexibly along the guide rails 201 within the groove 200, parallel to and corresponding to the optical cable roller 103. The guide rollers 203, positioning plates 205, and L-shaped guide tubes 206, symmetrically distributed above the slider 202, work together to precisely guide and position the optical cable. The guide rollers 203 reduce friction on the optical cable through rolling contact, the positioning plates 205 ensure the optical cable's horizontal position is stable, and the L-shaped structure of the guide tubes 206 further guides the optical cable along a predetermined path, effectively preventing problems such as tangling and deviation during the cable release process, ensuring the optical cable is always transported along a stable path to the subsequent take-up component.

[0029] When the optical cable reaches the take-up stage, the servo motor 212 begins to play its core driving role. After being powered on, the servo motor 212 drives the rotating rod 207 connected to its front end to rotate. The rotating rod 207 then drives the rotating disk 204 to rotate on the left side of the front end of the wire feeding and tying machine body 100. The take-up rod 209 is slidably connected within the grooves 208 around the surface of the rotating disk 204. The rotation of the rotating disk 204 causes the take-up rod 209 to move in a circular motion along the grooves 208. Simultaneously, the displacement sensor 213 mounted on the back of the rotating disk 204 monitors the position and displacement data of the take-up rod 209 in the grooves 208 in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. The control system dynamically adjusts the speed and direction of the servo motor 212 based on the data fed back by the displacement sensor 213, thereby achieving precise closed-loop control of the take-up tension and speed. Based on the preset optical cable specifications and take-up requirements, the control system issues commands to the servo motor 212 to automatically adjust the speed and angle of the rotating disk 204, thereby precisely controlling the contraction and adjustment of the take-up rod 209 on the surface of the slide 208, ensuring uniform force and stable speed during the take-up process, avoiding damage to the optical cable due to improper take-up, and efficiently completing the take-up operation.

[0030] It should be noted that the displacement sensor 213 is a potentiometer-type displacement sensor, model Novotechnik TR.

[0031] After the cable is wound up, the equipment enters the tying process. The tying head 211, located on the left fixed plate 210 of the cable feeding and tying machine body 100, is perpendicular to the surface of the take-up rod 209. When the take-up rod 209 winds the optical cable to the designated position, the control system issues a command, and the tying head 211 starts working, mechanically tying and fixing the wound optical cable to ensure that the optical cable roll is tight and does not unravel. After the tying is completed, the operator removes the finished optical cable.

[0032] It should be noted that when the take-up rod 209 retracts the optical cable into place, the control system triggers the cable tie head 211 to start. Its internal drive motor rotates, causing the winding arm to rotate, and the cable clamp grabs the cable tie from the cable tie storage compartment, tightly winding it around the optical cable roll. Subsequently, the tightening mechanism applies force through a cylinder or electric push rod, using levers and other structures to tighten the cable tie and eliminate slack. Finally, the blade of the cutting and fixing component cuts off the excess cable tie, and the clips lock both ends of the cable tie, completing the secure binding of the retracted optical cable (this is existing technology and therefore not described in detail).
