Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of optical cable packaging equipment, specifically to an anti-loosening optical cable packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of rapid development in modern communication technology, optical cables, as a key carrier of information transmission, are seeing their application scope continuously expand, covering many fields such as long-distance trunk communication, metropolitan area network construction, and FTTH (fiber to the home). With the continued growth in demand for optical cables, the importance of optical cable production and packaging is becoming increasingly prominent.

[0003] After the optical cable coil is manufactured, an optical cable winding and packaging machine is usually used to wrap the optical cable coil with tape to fix the optical cable coil structure, protect the outer insulation layer, and facilitate transportation and storage.

[0004] When the optical cable wrapping machine is in operation, the operator places the completed optical cable coil (wound into a circle of fixed diameter) into the feeding station of the equipment. Then, the operator manually installs the packaging tape (such as polypropylene tape, polyester tape, etc.) onto the tape reel of the equipment. During operation, with the cooperation of the rotation of the main shaft and the movement of the wrapping head, the tape evenly covers the surface of the optical cable coil in a spiral shape, forming a multi-layer wrapping structure. After completing the preset number of wrapping turns, the equipment automatically cuts the tape. During the wrapping process, the positioning clamps of the equipment (such as support rollers and chucks) are prone to wear after long-term use, causing the optical cable coil to be loosely fixed. This results in a reverse thrust on the optical cable coil during tape wrapping, causing it to shift or shake, resulting in irregular packaging appearance, or even missing wrapping, exposing the optical cable to a humid and dusty environment. The tape is prone to falling off, losing its moisture-proof and wear-proof protection function. Especially during long-distance transportation, the optical cable sheath may be worn due to bumps. Therefore, we propose an anti-loosening optical cable packaging equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fiber optic cable packaging device for preventing loosening, comprising a fixed frame and a base plate. A slot is provided at the center of the surface of the fixed frame, and guide rails are fixedly installed around the surface of the slot. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rails. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the back of the fixed frame. Rotating discs are movably installed on both sides of the outer surface of the guide rails. Slide grooves are provided on both sides of the surface of the base plate. A lead screw is fixedly installed on the surface of the slide groove. A slider is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider. A limit roller is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod.

[0006] A fixed shaft is fixedly installed on one side of the skateboard surface.

[0007] Among them, support plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the top surface of the base plate, and rotating rollers are rotatably connected to the surface of the support plates. A servo motor is fixedly installed on one side of the slide groove surface.

[0008] The drive motor has a drive shaft fixedly connected to one side of its surface. The drive shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating disk, which drives the rotating disk to rotate on both sides of the guide rail surface.

[0009] There are four rotating discs, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the guide rail surface and make frictional contact with the slide plate surface, thereby driving the slide plate to slide and adjust on the guide rail surface.

[0010] The surface of the fixed shaft is covered with packaging tape.

[0011] The limiting roller is adjusted by sliding on both sides of the base plate surface via a lead screw and a slider.

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

[0013] 1. The design, combining grooves, lead screws, sliders, connecting rods, and limiting rollers on the base plate, allows for flexible adjustment of optical cable coils of different specifications. A servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the slider to slide along the groove, thus achieving precise adjustment of the limiting roller position. Multiple limiting rollers limit the optical cable coil from different directions, ensuring it remains in a fixed position throughout the packaging process, effectively preventing loosening or displacement, and providing a fundamental guarantee for high-quality packaging.

[0014] 2. The drive motor on the fixed frame drives the rotating disks to rotate via a drive shaft. Four rotating disks are symmetrically distributed and rub against the sliding plate, causing the sliding plate to slide on the guide rail. The fixed shaft on the sliding plate is fitted with packaging tape, ensuring uniform winding of the tape onto the surface of the optical cable coil during the sliding process. The cooperation between the guide rail and the sliding plate ensures smooth and precise sliding, allowing the tape to be wound around the optical cable coil with constant tension and speed. This ensures tight and uniform tape winding, effectively improving packaging quality and protecting the optical cable coil from damage during transportation and storage. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an anti-loosening optical cable packaging device, including a fixing frame 100 and a base plate 200. A slot 101 is formed at the center of the surface of the fixing frame 100. Guide rails 102 are fixedly installed around the perimeter of the slot 101. A sliding plate 103 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rails 102. A drive motor 105 is fixedly installed on the back of the fixing frame 100. A drive shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the drive motor 105. The drive shaft is fixedly connected to a rotating disk 106, driving the rotating disk 106 to rotate on both sides of the guide rails 102. A sliding plate 103 is movably installed on both sides of the outer surface of the guide rails 102. Rotating disc 106, with a portion of it located inside guide rail 102, and passing through guide rail 102 to make frictional contact with the surface of slide plate 103. There are four rotating discs 106 in total, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the surface of guide rail 102, making frictional contact with the surface of slide plate 103, thus driving slide plate 103 to slide and adjust on the surface of guide rail 102. Slide plate 103 is a 2 / 3 arc, thus ensuring that when slide plate 103 rotates 360° inside guide rail 102, there is always rotating disc 106 in contact with the surface of slide plate 103, preventing slide plate 103 from falling off.

[0023] The base plate 200 has sliding grooves 203 on both sides of its surface. A lead screw 205 is fixedly installed on the surface of the sliding groove 203. A slider 206 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 205. A connecting rod 207 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 206. A limiting roller 208 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 207. The limiting roller 208 slides and adjusts on both sides of the surface of the base plate 200 through the lead screw 205 and the slider 206.

[0024] A fixed shaft 104 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the skateboard 103, and packaging tape is sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft 104.

[0025] Support plates 201 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top surface of the base plate 200. Rotating rollers 202 are rotatably connected to the surface of the support plates 201. A servo motor 204 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the slide groove 203.

[0026] Working principle: The optical cable coil to be packaged is placed on the base plate 200. The rotating rollers 202 on both sides of the top of the base plate 200 can help clamp the two sides of the optical cable coil, so that the optical cable coil is in a vertical state, which facilitates subsequent operations.

[0027] The servo motor 204 on one side of the slide groove 203 is activated. The servo motor 204 drives the lead screw 205 to rotate. Since the lead screw 205 is threadedly connected to the slider 206, the rotation of the lead screw 205 will cause the slider 206 to slide on the surface of the slide groove 203. The sliding of the slider 206 is transmitted through the connecting rod 207, causing the limiting roller 208 fixedly sleeved on the connecting rod 207 to move accordingly. Multiple limiting rollers 208 gradually approach the side of the optical cable coil from different directions, and finally clamp and fix the optical cable coil, so that the optical cable coil is at the center of the rotating roller 202.

[0028] After the optical cable loop is secured, the drive motor 105 on the back of the mounting bracket 100 is activated. The drive motor 105 drives the rotating disks 106 to rotate via the drive shaft. The four rotating disks 106 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the guide rail 102 and maintain frictional contact with the surface of the slide plate 103. As the rotating disks 106 rotate, the slide plate 103 begins to slide on the surface of the guide rail 102 due to friction. Since the fixed shaft 104 on the slide plate 103 is fitted with packaging tape, the sliding of the slide plate 103 causes the packaging tape to wrap around the optical cable loop.

[0029] Servo motor 204 drives lead screw 205 to rotate, causing slider 206 to slide on slide groove 203, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the position of limiting roller 208. Multiple limiting rollers 208 limit the optical cable loop from different directions, ensuring that the optical cable loop remains in a fixed position during the packaging process. Even after the limiting rollers 208 wear down after long-term use, the moving limiting rollers 208 can still clamp and fix the placed optical cable loop, effectively preventing the optical cable loop from loosening or shifting. This provides a basic guarantee for high-quality packaging and achieves the effect of flexible adjustment according to different specifications of optical cable loops.
