Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire and cable technology, and in particular to a transport device for wire and cable processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the wire and cable processing industry, the transport equipment is a key piece of equipment connecting various production links. Its performance directly affects production efficiency and product quality. Wires and cables come in different specifications. If the clamping force on the wires and cables is insufficient, the wires and cables are prone to falling off. Insufficient self-adaptive clamping force greatly reduces the equipment's versatility and its ability to protect the cables.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN217623627U), indicating that this utility model relates to the field of wire and cable technology, and particularly to a transport device for wire and cable processing. The technical solution includes: a base, with a mounting groove on the top of the base, in which a first guide roller and a second guide roller are rotatably mounted, each with a matching limiting wheel fixedly mounted; a mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom of an adjusting screw, with a first guide wheel rotatably mounted within the mounting frame, and a second guide wheel rotatably mounted in a mounting cavity below the first guide wheel; and a movably mounted inclined support plate on one side of the base. This utility model uses the limiting wheels to achieve corresponding placement of the limiting discs on both sides of the cable winding roller frame, and also enables the rotation and rolling of the cable winding roller frame. The inclined support plate allows personnel to place the cable winding roller frame, enabling the cable winding roller frame to be pushed onto the device by rolling without the need for other equipment assistance. This device meets basic usage requirements, but its self-adaptive clamping force is insufficient, significantly reducing the device's versatility and its ability to protect cables. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transport device for wire and cable processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transport device for wire and cable processing, comprising a fixing frame for supporting wires and cables, two fixing ears symmetrically welded to the bottom of the fixing frame for connecting with an external transport unit, internal thread support blocks fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the fixing frame, threaded adjustment columns rotatably connected inside the internal thread support blocks, two fixing blocks symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing frame, and guide columns connecting the fixing blocks and the internal thread support blocks;

[0006] The fixed frame has two cable management racks symmetrically arranged inside. One of the cable management racks is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame, and the other cable management rack has two adjusting racks symmetrically installed on its side for sliding around the outer periphery of the guide post. The top of each of the two adjusting racks is fixedly connected to a connecting post, and the end of the connecting post away from the adjusting rack is connected to a movable disk.

[0007] Preferably, a hollow column is slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the movable disk, the movable disk is slidably disposed inside the hollow column, and a pressing disk is slidably disposed inside the hollow column.

[0008] Preferably, a spring connects the extrusion disc and the movable disc, and the end of the threaded adjusting column is rotatably disposed inside the extrusion disc.

[0009] Preferably, both of the cable management racks are equipped with cable management wheels on their sides for organizing wires and cables.

[0010] Preferably, a protective plate is installed on the side of the fixing frame, and a drive motor for providing power is installed on the side of the protective plate.

[0011] Preferably, the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a rotating shaft via a coupling, and a plurality of storage trays for storing wires and cables are installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft in conjunction with cable management wheels.

[0012] Preferably, the plurality of storage trays are rotatably disposed inside the fixed frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This transport device for wire and cable processing benefits from an adjustment system consisting of a threaded adjusting column, a clamping disc, a spring, a moving disc, a connecting column, an adjusting frame, and a guide column. The spacing between the cable-guiding wheels is adaptively adjusted through the elastic deformation of the springs. When wires and cables of different diameters pass between two cable-guiding wheels, the springs automatically compensate for pressure changes caused by the difference in cable diameter, ensuring a stable clamping force for cable passage while avoiding damage to the cable sheath caused by rigid compression. Simultaneously, the threaded adjusting column allows for preset basic spacing, which, combined with the dynamic adjustment of the springs, enables the device to accommodate various cable specifications, significantly improving the equipment's versatility and cable protection capabilities.

[0015] This transport device for wire and cable processing, thanks to its connection design between the fixed lugs and the external transport unit, combined with a power-driven storage system consisting of a drive motor, rotating shaft, and storage tray, forms an integrated "transport-sorting-storage" function. The fixed lugs are rigidly connected to external equipment such as transport trolleys via high-strength bolts, ensuring the stability of the entire device during movement. The drive motor drives the storage tray to rotate synchronously, precisely coordinating with the cable management wheels, allowing cables to be sorted and stored during transport, reducing the time cost of setting up a separate storage process. The corresponding design of multiple sets of storage trays and cable management wheels can handle multiple cables simultaneously (typically 3-6 cables), significantly improving the transfer efficiency during wire and cable processing and reducing the need for manual intervention.

[0024] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0025] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 The diagram shows a transport device for wire and cable processing, including a fixed frame 1 for supporting wires and cables. Two fixed ears 101 for connecting to an external transport unit are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the fixed frame 1. The two fixed ears 101 symmetrically welded to the bottom of the fixed frame 1 are used to fix the entire device to the external transport unit (such as a transport trolley, conveyor belt, etc.), realizing the overall mobile transport function of the device and providing basic support for the transfer during the wire and cable processing. Internal threaded support blocks 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the fixed frame 1. Threaded adjustment columns 301 are rotatably connected inside the internal threaded support blocks 3. Two fixed blocks 106 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 1. Guide columns 107 are connected between the fixed blocks 106 and the internal threaded support blocks 3.

[0027] The fixed frame 1 has two cable management frames 2 symmetrically arranged inside. One cable management frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 1. The other cable management frame 2 has two adjusting frames 307 symmetrically installed on its side for sliding around the outer periphery of the guide column 107. The top of each adjusting frame 307 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 306. The end of the connecting column 306 away from the adjusting frame 307 is connected to a movable disk 305.

[0028] A hollow column 303 is slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the movable tray 305. The movable tray 305 is slidably disposed inside the hollow column 303. A pressing plate 302 is slidably disposed inside the hollow column 303. A spring 304 connects the pressing plate 302 and the movable tray 305. The end of the threaded adjusting column 301 is rotatably disposed inside the pressing plate 302. When organizing and storing wires and cables, multiple wires and cables pass through the cable management wheels 201 installed on the sides of the two cable management racks 2. One cable management rack 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 1, and the other cable management rack 2 can be adjusted in position through an adjustment structure: when the threaded adjustment column 301 inside the internal threaded support block 3 is rotated, its end will push the squeezing plate 302 inside the hollow column 303 to slide. The squeezing plate 302 compresses or releases the spring 304, which drives the moving plate 305 connected to the other end of the spring 304 to slide in the hollow column 303. The moving plate 305 drives the adjustment frame 307 to slide along the guide column 107 (connected between the fixed block 106 and the internal threaded support block 3) through the connecting column 306, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the upper cable management rack 2. The spring 304 plays a key adaptive adjustment role in this process. It can automatically adjust the elastic force according to the diameter of the wires and cables passing through, and the appropriate squeezing force range (such as 5-15N, which can be adjusted according to the cable specifications) so that the two cable management wheels 201 maintain an appropriate squeezing force, which ensures that the wires and cables can pass through stably and avoids excessive pressure that could damage the cables.

[0029] Both cable management racks 2 are equipped with cable management wheels 201 on their sides for organizing wires and cables. The side of the fixed frame 1 is equipped with a protective plate 102 for protection. The side of the protective plate 102 is equipped with a drive motor 103 for providing power. The output shaft of the drive motor 103 is connected to a rotating shaft 104 through a coupling. Multiple storage trays 105 are installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 104 to collect wires and cables in cooperation with the cable management wheels 201. The multiple storage trays 105 are rotatably arranged inside the fixed frame 1. When the drive motor 103 installed on the side of the protective plate 102 is started, its output shaft drives the rotating shaft 104 to rotate through the coupling. The multiple storage trays 105 installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 104 rotate inside the fixed frame 1 accordingly. In cooperation with the cable management wheels 201, the multiple wires and cables that have been organized by the cable management wheels 201 are wound and stored on the corresponding storage trays 105, completing the wire and cable sorting and recycling operation.

[0030] To ensure the long-term stable operation of this wire and cable processing and transportation device, targeted protective measures need to be developed for key factors such as environment, maintenance, materials, and component compatibility. For example, environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, dust, and corrosive gases in the processing workshop can easily damage the device. For high-temperature environments, heat insulation cotton can be added to the inside of the protective plate 102 to reduce the risk of overheating of the drive motor 103 due to high ambient temperatures. At the same time, a temperature sensor is installed on the top of the fixing frame 1, which triggers an alarm when the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C, reminding operators to turn on the workshop ventilation or cooling equipment. For high-humidity environments, the metal welded parts such as the fixing lugs 101 and fixing blocks 106 need to be galvanized or electrophoretically coated to form a dense protective film to prevent moisture corrosion and rust. The mating gap between the internal thread support block 3 and the thread adjusting column 301 should be blown out regularly with dry compressed air to avoid moisture condensation causing thread jamming. Dust easily accumulates on the rotating shaft of the cable guide wheel 201, the sliding contact surfaces of the guide column 107 and the adjusting frame 307. A dust cover needs to be installed on top of the device. The cover should be made of transparent acrylic material, which will not affect the observation of the cable transport status and will prevent dust from entering. Before daily operation, use a soft brush to clean the surface of the cable guide wheel 201 and the cable groove of the receiving tray 105 to prevent dust mixed with oil from forming hard lumps that scratch the cables or hinder rotation. If corrosive gases (such as sulfides) are present in the workshop, components such as the hollow column 303 and the moving tray 305 should be replaced with stainless steel, and the spring 304 should be treated with an anti-corrosion coating to prevent gas corrosion from causing a decrease in elasticity.

[0031] Establishing a regular maintenance mechanism is key to preventing malfunctions. For the mating parts of the threaded adjusting column 301 and the internal threaded support block 3, lithium-based grease should be added every 3 working days. After lubrication, manually rotate the adjusting column 3-5 turns to ensure even grease distribution and prevent the threads from drying out and causing adjustment sticking. Disassemble and inspect the sliding surfaces of the extrusion disc 302 and the hollow column 303 monthly. Use fine sandpaper to smooth minor scratches, then apply wear-resistant lubricant to ensure smooth sliding of the extrusion disc. The rotating shaft of the cable management wheel 201 needs to be checked weekly. If abnormal noise or jamming is found, replace the bushing promptly (preferably using an oil-impregnated bearing) and add special grease to the shaft end. The bearing seat of the storage tray 105 should be checked every two weeks. Clean the cable debris inside the bearing seat and replenish grease to prevent bearing wear from causing eccentric rotation of the storage tray. The insulation resistance of drive motor 103 needs to be checked monthly (ensuring ≥0.5MΩ), the dust in the motor's heat dissipation holes cleaned, and the wear of the coupling's elastic pads inspected. If cracks or hardening are found, replace it immediately to prevent unstable transmission of the rotating shaft 104. Spring 304 is a key component for adaptive adjustment. The spring force attenuation needs to be sampled and checked every six months. When the spring force loss exceeds 15%, replace the entire spring. At the same time, record the spring compression frequency to avoid a single compression exceeding 70% of the total stroke, thus extending its service life.

[0032] The materials used for each component of the device must be compatible with the working environment. The mounting bracket 1, as the main load-bearing structure, is made of Q355B high-strength steel and undergoes stress-relieving annealing after welding to prevent structural deformation due to long-term load-bearing. The bolts connecting the mounting lug 101 to the external transport section are 8.8 grade high-strength bolts with phosphated surfaces to prevent thread stripping caused by frequent loading and unloading. The cable management wheel 201 has a polyurethane body (Shore hardness 60-70A), providing sufficient elasticity to buffer cable pressure and resist wear caused by cable friction. The wheel core is made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight and prevent rust. The guide column 107 is made of 45# chrome-plated round steel with a chrome plating thickness ≥0.02mm to improve surface hardness and wear resistance, ensuring smooth sliding of the adjustment bracket 307. The surface of the cable tray 105 needs to be polished (roughness Ra≤1.6μm) to prevent the sharp edges of the cable tray from scratching the cable sheath; the tray body is made of high-strength plastic (such as ABS+glass fiber) to reduce rotational inertia and prevent corrosion. For cable trays with large diameter cables, metal reinforcing rings can be added to the edge of the tray body to improve load-bearing capacity.

[0033] Poor component fit will directly affect the function of the device, requiring control throughout the entire process of processing, installation, and debugging. The fit accuracy between the internal thread of the internal thread support block 3 and the external thread of the thread adjusting column 301 must reach 6H / 6g, and the thread clearance must be controlled within 0.05-0.1mm to avoid excessive clearance causing shaking during adjustment. During assembly, use a dial indicator to check the radial runout of the thread adjusting column 301 to ensure it is ≤0.03mm to prevent the extrusion plate 302 from shifting during rotation. The fit clearance between the guide column 107 and the adjusting frame 307 must be controlled within 0.02-0.04mm. During installation, use a laser collimator to calibrate the parallelism of the two guide columns 107 (error ≤0.1mm / m) to ensure that there is no jamming when the upper cable management frame 2 is raised or lowered. The welding between the adjusting frame 307 and the connecting column 306 must ensure perpendicularity (error ≤0.5°) to prevent the moving plate 305 from tilting and sliding inside the hollow column 303. The axes of the cable guide roller 201 and the cable tray 105 must be coaxial (error ≤ 0.2mm). During installation, tooling is used for positioning to ensure that the cable exits from the cable guide roller and accurately enters the cable tray groove. After each batch of cables is resized, the matching between the cable guide roller spacing and the cable tray rotation speed is recalibrated (by adjusting the frequency conversion parameters of the drive motor 103) to avoid cable stretching or loosening due to speed mismatch. Through the above measures, the impact of environmental corrosion, lack of maintenance, material failure, and misalignment on the device can be comprehensively avoided, ensuring its continuous and stable operation during wire and cable processing and transportation.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] This transport device for wire and cable processing connects to an external transport unit via a fixed lug 101 at the bottom of the fixed frame 1, enabling overall movement and meeting the transfer requirements during wire and cable processing. During operation, multiple wires and cables pass between the cable management wheels 201 on the two cable management frames 2. The lower cable management frame 2 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed frame 1, while the upper cable management frame 2 can be adjusted via an adjustable structure: rotating the threaded adjusting column 301 within the internal threaded support block 3 pushes the extrusion disc 302 in the hollow column 303 to slide, causing the extrusion disc 302 to compress or release the spring 304, which in turn drives the moving disc 305 to slide within the hollow column 303. This, in turn, pulls the adjusting frame 307 along the guide column 107 (connecting the fixed block 106 and the internal threaded support block 3) via the connecting column 306, thus raising and lowering the upper cable management frame 2. The spring 304 can adjust automatically. The elastic force should be adjusted to maintain appropriate squeezing pressure on the two cable management wheels 201 according to the change in cable diameter. This ensures that the cable passes through stably while avoiding excessive squeezing and damage. The drive motor 103 on the guard plate 102 is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating shaft 104 to rotate through the coupling. This causes the multiple storage trays 105 on the rotating shaft 104 to rotate within the fixed frame 1. In cooperation with the cable management wheels 201, the sorted cables are wound onto the corresponding storage trays 105 to complete the sorting and recycling. At the same time, the transportation function is realized through the connection with the external transportation unit.
