Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable production technology, and in particular to an automatic stripping device for cable production. Background Technology
[0002] Optical Fiber Composite Overhead Ground Wire (OPGW) is a primary transmission medium for power fiber optic communication and a unique communication method in power systems. When defective single filaments are found during or after cable fabrication and require rework, stripping and repair processes are necessary. Currently, manual stripping and automatic repair by cabling machines are used. Manual stripping requires workers to strip approximately 3 meters of single filament before cutting it. Stripping a cable of about 5 kilometers from start to finish often requires multiple workers in multiple shifts to work together and rotate shifts to reduce the workload of each worker. In addition, multiple workers operating the stripping process pose risks such as single filaments flying out and causing injury. Therefore, manual stripping is characterized by long working hours, high labor intensity, low efficiency, and even unsafe operation.
[0003] Based on the above defects and shortcomings, it is necessary to improve the existing technology and design an automatic stripping device for cable making. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic wire stripping device for cable making, which automatically strips wires and continuously recovers the stripped monofilaments onto a monofilament reel, thereby solving the defects caused by manual wire stripping, reducing labor intensity, avoiding unsafe operation, and improving work efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: providing an automatic cable stripping device, which includes a cable loosening stripper, a fixed base, a power mechanism, a stranding turntable, a guide wheel mechanism, a monofilament recovery mechanism, and a guide wheel assembly. The cable loosening stripper is rotatably mounted on the fixed base and is driven to rotate by the power mechanism. A stranding turntable is installed on the cable loosening stripper and rotates synchronously therewith. A monofilament recovery mechanism is also installed on the stranding turntable. A guide wheel mechanism is installed at the output end of the cable loosening stripper. The monofilaments output by the cable loosening stripper are guided by the guide wheel mechanism and the guide wheel assembly and then transported to the monofilament recovery mechanism for recovery.
[0006] Preferably, the cable stripper includes an outer sleeve, a central tube, a monofilament recovery tube, a support ring, and cable recovery tubes. The outer sleeve contains a central tube and several monofilament recovery tubes, which are fixedly supported by the support ring, which is fixed to the inner wall of the outer sleeve. The input end of the outer sleeve is equipped with a cable recovery tube opposite to the monofilament recovery tube.

The frame is rotatably mounted on the stranding turntable. The tension guide, the horizontal shaft, and the monofilament reel are rotatably mounted on the frame in sequence. The monofilament reel is driven to rotate by the tension motor. The guide wheel assembly outputs monofilaments that pass through the stranding turntable, then through the tension guide and the horizontal shaft in sequence, and finally are wound up by the monofilament reel.
