Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of winding devices, and specifically relates to an automatic control winding device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of offshore wind power, the foundations of offshore wind turbines have suffered severe corrosion due to seawater immersion and alternating wet and dry conditions. It is necessary to carry testing tools for inspection. However, due to the limited testing depth, problems such as inconvenience in laying and reeling in the wires and inaccurate measurement distances occur during use. Long-term use will affect the safety and output of the production line.
[0003] When inspecting offshore wind turbine foundations, a cable reel is required to carry the testing tools. However, existing cable reels have several shortcomings. Firstly, their fixed structure makes the cable susceptible to inertia and friction during winding, leading to uneven tension, affecting winding quality, and shortening cable lifespan. Secondly, existing reels cannot be adjusted according to cable length and actual usage conditions, requiring manual adjustment of winding parameters. This makes them unsuitable for different cable specifications or environmental changes. Furthermore, cable unloading and rewinding are inconvenient, and the lack of automatic shutdown functionality impacts testing efficiency and safety, necessitating urgent improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic control cable winding device, which solves the problems of inconvenient cable winding and knotting, such as long cables. The guiding system (slide rail, pulley block) significantly improves the positioning accuracy and service life of cables, and optimizes the efficiency and safety of cable management.

[0007] The encoder assembly includes an encoder bracket, on which an encoder and a follower wheel are mounted. The encoder is used to measure the number of rotations of the follower wheel.
[0008] Preferably, the follower wheel is a rubber wheel, and two rubber wheels are used to clamp the cable.
[0009] Preferably, the winding device is mounted on the base.
[0010] Preferably, the base is provided with a winding reel bracket slide rail, on which a winding device is installed.
[0011] Preferably, the cable reel mounting device includes a cable reel bracket and a cable reel, with the cable reel bracket mounted on a cable reel bracket slide rail.
[0012] Preferably, the base is provided with a guide rail, on which a guide is mounted.
[0013] Preferably, the guide includes a first guide and a second guide.
[0014] Preferably, the pulley block includes a first pulley bracket and a second pulley bracket, wherein a first pulley is provided on the first pulley bracket and a second pulley is provided on the second pulley bracket.
[0015] Preferably, the winding reel bracket is equipped with a winding motor, which drives the winding reel to rotate, and the winding reel bracket is moved by a driving cylinder.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] Preferred solutions include Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automatic control winding device has the following structure:
[0028] Base 1: Supports the entire device, with a slide rail interface at the bottom.
[0029] Winding device 2: Built-in drive motor, which monitors winding length and wire speed through encoder 7.
[0030] Cable 3: Connects to the detection circuit.
[0031] The guiding assembly includes a first guide 4 and a second guide 5. The position of the first guide 4 is adjusted by the guide slide rail 8 to ensure that the cable is smoothly wound up and down. The second guide 5 is fixed in place to ensure that the cable can contact the groove wheel 12 and the rubber wheel 6.
[0032] Rubber wheel 6: Contacts the cable, provides friction to assist in winding, and connects to encoder 7.
[0033] Cable reel bracket 9: can move along the cable reel bracket slide rail 10 to accommodate cables of different specifications.
[0034] Grooved wheel 12 and pulley block: including first pulley 15 and second pulley 16, used for guidance and further reducing cable wear.
[0035] The automatic control logic of this device is as follows:
[0036] The encoder 7 collects cable length and speed data, and controls the start, stop and speed of the winding device 2 through a PID algorithm. When winding the cable, the speed of the winding device 2 slows down until it stops when the length of the wound cable is close to the length of the unwound cable. The start and stop of the dedicated line device is determined based on the tension of the cable.
[0037] The first guide 4 and the second guide 5 are driven by a servo motor or cylinder. The guide slide rail 8 controls the way the cable is wound in the winding device 2. The winding reel bracket slide rail 10 can automatically adjust the position of the winding reel bracket 9 according to different cable specifications, such as cable thickness and length.
