Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable technology, and in particular relates to a tooling for detecting the length of cables in production. Background Technology
[0002] In the cable manufacturing industry, cable length is a crucial quality indicator, and accurate measurement of cable length is essential to ensure that products meet specifications. Furthermore, cables are prone to accumulating dust and other impurities during production; if not cleaned promptly, this can affect subsequent processing steps, as well as the cable's performance and quality.
[0003] Currently, existing cable length testing equipment on the market often suffers from inconvenient adjustment when dealing with cables of different diameters. Traditional testing devices typically employ a fixed-distance measuring roller and follower roller structure. When testing cables of different diameters, manual adjustment of the distance between the measuring roller and follower roller is required, and sometimes parts may need to be replaced. This not only consumes a lot of time and manpower, but may also affect the accuracy of the test results due to insufficient adjustment precision, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in meeting diverse production needs.
[0004] In terms of cleaning dust from cable surfaces, most existing cleaning devices use fixed cleaning brushes. These brushes need to be replaced after a period of use due to wear or excessive dirt buildup. However, traditional brush replacement methods are usually complex, requiring the disassembly of multiple components with tools. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, severely impacting production continuity. Furthermore, the inconvenience of brush replacement can lead to decreased cleaning effectiveness, preventing timely and effective cleaning of the cable surface, thus affecting cable quality and subsequent processing.
[0005] To address these issues, we provide a cable production length inspection fixture. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable production length inspection fixture. By combining the measuring component and the cleaning component, it solves the problems of existing inspection fixtures that cannot efficiently and quickly adjust the spacing to adapt to cables of different diameters and cannot easily and quickly replace the cleaning brush.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0008] This utility model relates to a cable production length detection fixture, comprising a base, a measuring component fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a cleaning component fixedly connected to one side of the measuring component. The measuring component includes support plates fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base and a gap adjustment mechanism located between the two support plates. A follower plate is threadedly connected to the top of the gap adjustment mechanism. A measuring roller is movably connected between the two support plates via a bearing.

A spring is sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod, and both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the moving plate.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the gap adjustment mechanism includes a lead screw movably connected to the inner cavity of the support plate via a bearing; a driven wheel is fixedly connected to the surface of the lead screw; a driving wheel meshes between the two driven wheels; a first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the top of the driving wheel; a second bevel gear meshes with the surface of the first bevel gear; a dual-output shaft motor is fixedly connected between the two second bevel gears; a ranging transmitter is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate; and a ranging receiver is fixedly connected to the bottom of the follower plate. Through the lead screw transmission and the coordination with the ranging device, precise control and automated adjustment of the height of the follower plate are achieved, avoiding errors caused by manual intervention.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the inner cavity of the support plate has a through hole for the lead screw, and the bottom of the lead screw and the bottom of the drive wheel are both fixedly connected to the top of the base through bearings. The lead screw and the bottom bearing of the drive wheel are fixed, which enhances the stability of the transmission structure and reduces operating vibration.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dual output shaft motor, and the bottom of the mounting base is fixedly connected to the base. The dual output shaft motor is fixed to the base through the mounting base, thereby improving the rigidity of the power system and ensuring the reliability of synchronous drive.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that threaded holes for use with lead screws are provided on both sides of the bottom of the follower plate. The threaded holes cooperate with the lead screws to realize precise transmission of lifting and lowering motion and avoid slippage and deviation.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the support plate, a limiting block is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting rod, the other side of the limiting block is fixedly connected to the follower plate, and an anti-detachment block is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod.

[0017] 1. This utility model achieves automated synchronous adjustment of the distance between the measuring roller and the follower wheel through a gap adjustment mechanism, significantly improving the equipment's adaptability to cables of different diameters. The dual-output shaft motor drives the lead screws on both sides to rotate synchronously through a gear transmission structure, allowing the follower plate to rise and fall smoothly along the lead screws. With the guiding action of the limit rod and limit block, it ensures that the measuring roller and the follower wheel always remain horizontally aligned, avoiding tilting or accuracy deviations caused by manual adjustment. The distance measuring transmitter and distance measuring receiver monitor the height of the follower plate in real time, which can accurately control the gap size to adapt to usage requirements. Combined with the electronic counter to accurately count the number of rotations of the measuring roller, the length can be automatically calculated according to the diameter of the measuring roller without manual intervention or replacement of parts, greatly improving detection efficiency and accuracy, and meeting the continuous production needs of multi-specification cables.
[0018] 2. This utility model cleaning component adopts a snap-on quick-change structure, which significantly simplifies the cleaning brush replacement process. When a worn cleaning brush needs to be replaced, simply pull the handle on the moving plate to compress the spring and retract the pin rod into the mounting slot, allowing the cleaning brush to be directly removed from the pin hole on the mounting plate. During installation, align the handle with the pin hole, and the spring will return to its original position, pushing the pin rod into the pin hole. Installation can be completed without tools. This structure avoids the cumbersome disassembly steps in traditional fixed installation methods, reducing the replacement time to a few seconds. This ensures that the cleaning brush always maintains a good cleaning effect, avoids the residue of impurities on the cable surface due to untimely cleaning, and ensures the quality stability of subsequent processing procedures.

[0029] Specifically: the base 1 is a rectangular metal substrate with mounting holes at the four corners of the top. The two support plates 21 are vertically parallel and the spacing is consistent with the direction of cable transmission. The gap adjustment mechanism 22 is located inside the two support plates 21.

Its bottom end is fixed to the top of the base 1 through bearings, and its top end extends to the outside of the support plate 21. The driven wheel 222 is sleeved in the middle of the lead screw 221. The two driven wheels 222 are meshed and linked through the horizontally arranged driving wheel 223. The top of the driving wheel 223 is fixed with a bevel gear 224, which meshes with the bevel gears 225 at both ends of the dual output shaft motor 226 to form a power transmission structure.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Please see Figure 1-5Based on Embodiment 1, the gap adjustment mechanism 22 includes a lead screw 221 movably connected to the inner cavity of the support plate 21 via a bearing. A driven wheel 222 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 221, and a driving wheel 223 meshes between the two driven wheels 222. A bevel gear 224 is fixedly connected to the top of the driving wheel 223, and a bevel gear 225 meshes with the surface of the bevel gear 224. A dual-output shaft motor 226 is fixedly connected between the two bevel gears 225. A ranging transmitter 227 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 21, and a ranging receiver 228 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the follower plate 23. The inner cavity of the support plate 21 has a through hole through the lead screw 221, and the bottom of the lead screw 221 and the bottom of the driving wheel 223 are also connected to the support plate 21. All components are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 via bearings. The bottom of the dual-output shaft motor 226 is fixedly connected to a mounting base, and the bottom of the mounting base is fixedly connected to the base 1. The bottom of the follower plate 23 has threaded holes on both sides for use with the lead screw 221. The top of one side of the support plate 21 is fixedly connected to a limit rod 229. The surface of the limit rod 229 is slidably connected to a limit block 2210. The other side of the limit block 2210 is fixedly connected to the follower plate 23. The top of the limit rod 229 is fixedly connected to an anti-detachment block. The front and rear ends of the cleaning brush 32 are both provided with through holes for the pin rod 35. The surface of the mounting plate 31 is provided with pin holes for use with the pin rod 35. The top of the moving plate 34 is fixedly connected to a handle, and the surface of the handle is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0032] Specifically: Through the transmission of the lead screw 221 and the coordination of the ranging device, the height of the follower plate 23 is precisely controlled and automatically adjusted, avoiding errors caused by manual intervention. The lead screw 221 is fixed to the bottom bearing of the drive wheel 223, enhancing the stability of the transmission structure and reducing operating vibration. The dual output shaft motor 226 is fixed to the base 1 through the mounting bracket, improving the rigidity of the power system and ensuring the reliability of synchronous drive. The threaded hole cooperates with the lead screw 221 to achieve precise transmission of lifting motion and avoid slippage. The limit rod 229 and the anti-detachment block restrict the movement trajectory of the follower plate 23 to prevent tilting or falling off.

The anti-slip handle improves the ease of operation and facilitates the quick application of pulling force to replace the cleaning brush 32.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the cable enters the testing fixture, the dual-output shaft motor 226 starts, driving the second bevel gear 225 through the first bevel gear 224. The second bevel gear 225 drives the driving wheel 223, which in turn drives the driven wheel 222. The driven wheel 222 drives the lead screw 221 to rotate, thereby driving the follower plate 23 to rise and fall. This allows the distance between the follower wheel 27 and the measuring roller 24 to automatically adapt to the cable diameter. The distance measuring transmitter 227 and the distance measuring receiver 228 provide real-time feedback on the height of the follower plate 23 to calibrate the adjustment accuracy. Under the traction of the cable... The measuring roller 24 is driven to rotate, and the electronic counter 26 records the number of rotations and calculates the length based on the diameter parameter of the measuring roller 24. At the same time, the cleaning brush 32 is snapped onto the mounting plate 31 by the pin 35. The cleaning brush 32 fits tightly against the cable surface and removes surface dust during cable movement. When the cleaning brush 32 needs to be replaced, the handle is pulled to retract the pin 35, which allows for quick removal of the old brush and installation of the new brush. The spring 36 resets to ensure that the new brush is reliably fixed. The entire process does not require machine stoppage or tool assistance, realizing efficient integrated operation of cable length detection and surface cleaning.
