Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to cable processing equipment, and more particularly to an automatic cable sheath stripping device. Background Technology

[0002] Cables are typically wound into coils for ease of transport and storage. During installation, the coils need to be quickly and securely connected to maintain continuity, requiring the removal of the outer insulation and protective layers. Similarly, cable repair or recycling also necessitates stripping the outer sheath, a crucial yet tedious step. Traditional manual stripping is inefficient and easily damages the cable's internal structure, affecting its usability. To improve efficiency and precision, mechanized stripping devices have emerged, but they are limited in function, lack intelligence, struggle to adapt to diverse specifications, and still require considerable manual operation, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes an automatic cable sheath stripping device. This device can automatically and accurately strip the cable sheath and can also realize functions such as remote monitoring and intelligent parameter adjustment, thereby improving stripping efficiency and accuracy, simplifying operation, and reducing costs.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

The small gear is connected to the drive motor through the coupling. The large gear is fixed to the end face of the rotating disk. The small gear meshes with the large gear.

[0010] The control unit connects the drivers of each motor, the PLC, and the computer. It uses the PLC to map the signals of the physical entity to the digital entity in the computer, thus achieving virtual-real synchronization of the digital twin.

[0011] Furthermore, the turning assembly, consisting of the tool body, tool body mounting base, connector, and stepper motor, is composed of multiple groups, evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotary table.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. The purpose and effects of the present invention will become clearer. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic cable sheath stripping device of this utility model includes a support unit 1, a clamping unit 2, a turning unit 3, and a transmission unit 4.

[0027] Among them, support unit 1 serves as the foundation of the entire device, such as Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a baffle 1-1, a housing 1-2, and a handle 1-3. The baffle 1-1 is mounted on the end face of the housing 1-2 and is used to support and position other components. The housing 1-2 provides protection for the clamping unit 2 and the transmission unit 4, and three grooves evenly distributed circumferentially are formed on the inner wall surface of the housing 1-2. The handle 1-3 is fixed to the housing 1-2 and is used for hand-operating the entire cable sheath stripping device, or for fixing the device to a workbench.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, clamping unit 2 consists of three clamping mechanisms. Each clamping mechanism includes a clamping motor 2-1, a lead screw 2-2, a pin 2-3, two baffles 2-4, and two clamping wheels 2-5. In each clamping mechanism, the two clamping wheels 2-5 are arranged opposite each other, the pin 2-3 is located between the two clamping wheels 2-5, and the two baffles 2-4 are respectively arranged on the outside of the two clamping wheels 2-5. The two clamping wheels 2-5 and the two baffles are connected by a through shaft. The middle part of the through shaft is fixed to one end of the pin 2-3 and arranged in a groove on the inner wall of the outer casing 1-2. The other end of the pin 2-3 is connected to one end of the lead screw 2-2, and the other end of the lead screw 2-2 extends out of the outer casing 1-2 and is connected to the clamping motor 2-1, which is fixed circumferentially on the outer casing 1-2, via a coupling. Thus, the three clamping mechanisms are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer casing 1-2 at a 120° angle. When the clamping motor 2-1 is working, it drives the lead screw 2-2 to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping wheel 2-5 to clamp the cable 6.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the turning unit 3 includes a tool body 3-1, a tool body mounting base 3-2, a rotary disk 3-3, a connector 3-4, and a stepper motor 3-5. The tool body 3-1 is connected to the stepper motor 3-5 via the connector 3-4 and is fixed to the tool body mounting base 3-2 after connection. The rotary disk 3-3 has a radially extending groove. The tool body mounting base 3-2 is connected to the groove of the rotary disk 3-3 and can move radially along the rotary disk 3-3 to achieve feed. The stepper motor 3-5 drives the tool body 3-1 to move radially, thereby achieving annular cutting of the outer sheath of the cable 6. The radial movement of the tool body mounting base 3-2 along the rotary disk 3-3 is to adjust the initial position of the tool body 3-1 for cables of different thicknesses. Figure 1 The right figure is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the automatic cable sheath stripping device after removing the rotating disk 3-3 and the baffle 1-1.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the transmission unit 4 includes a large gear 4-1, a small gear 4-2, a coupling 4-3, and a drive motor 4-4. An axial through hole (e.g., axial through hole) is also provided inside the housing 1-2 for accommodating the drive motor 4-4. Figure 2 As shown, the drive motor 4-4 is fixed inside the axial through hole. The pinion 4-2 is connected to the drive motor 4-4 via a coupling 4-3. The large gear 4-1 is fixed on the end face of the rotating disk 3-3, and the pinion 4-2 meshes with the large gear 4-1. When the drive motor 4-4 rotates, it drives the pinion 4-2 to rotate. Through the meshing of the pinion and the large gear, it drives the large gear 4-1 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 3-3, which is fixed with the large gear 4-1, to rotate, and thus drives the cutter body 3-1, which is fixed on the rotating disk 3-3, to rotate.

[0031] To achieve automatic control, the automatic cable sheath stripping device of this utility model also includes a control unit 5. The control unit 5 is equipped with a controller and is connected to an external motor driver, PLC, and computer. The PLC realizes signal mapping between the physical entity and the digital entity in the computer, achieving virtual-physical synchronization of the digital twin. The control unit 5 can be started with one key or operated manually in steps to sequentially realize the clamping, cutting, feeding, and retraction of the cable 6.

[0032] The working process of the cable sheath stripping device of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] First, place cable 6 at the center of support unit 1. Cable 6 is as follows: Figure 1 Either a thin-diameter cable 6-1 or a thick-diameter cable 6-2 can be used. Then, the device is activated via the control unit 5, clamping the cable 6 via the clamping unit 2. The transmission unit 4 drives the rotating cutter head 3-3 to rotate, while the cutting body 3-1 of the turning unit 3 feeds, achieving a circular cut of the cable sheath. The entire device is then moved along the axis by hand to remove the cable sheath. This automatic cable sheath stripping device not only automates the stripping of the cable sheath, improving efficiency and accuracy, but also enables remote monitoring and intelligent adjustment of stripping parameters. Furthermore, the device is compact and rationally designed, allowing for handheld or fixed operation, making it highly adaptable and meeting the needs of different scenarios. Simultaneously, centralized control via the control unit 5 ensures convenient and safe operation.

[0034] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. All modifications and equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included within the protection scope of the utility model.
