[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a fiber optic cable stripping machine, including: a worktable 1; a stripping mechanism, the stripping mechanism including a support 2, a cutting component and a guiding component, the cutting component and the guiding component being rotatably mounted on the support 2; wherein, the cutting component includes a drive shaft 3, a limiting wheel 4 and a first cutting blade 5 disposed on the limiting wheel 4, the drive shaft 3 is disposed on the support 2, there are multiple limiting wheels 4, the multiple limiting wheels 4 are evenly spaced on the drive shaft 3, the surface of the limiting wheel 4 has a first recess 6, and the first cutting blade 5 is located in the first recess. Inside 6; the guide component includes a driven shaft 7, a guide wheel 8, and a second cutting blade 9 disposed on the guide wheel 8. The driven shaft 7 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 2. There are multiple guide wheels 8, which are evenly spaced on the driven shaft 7. The surface of the guide wheel 8 has a second recess 10. The second cutting blade 9 is located in the second recess 10. The first recess 6 and the second recess 10 correspond to form a receiving space 11 for accommodating the cable to be cut, and the size of the receiving space 11 gradually increases or decreases along the axial direction of the drive shaft 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the workbench 1 is the support platform for the entire peeling machine, used to fix and support the peeling mechanism, ensuring that each component maintains a stable relative position during the peeling process. It provides a stable operating reference surface, avoiding cutting deviations caused by equipment vibration or displacement during peeling, and ensuring peeling accuracy and consistency.

[0029] In this embodiment, the stripping mechanism described above is the core component for performing cable stripping, consisting of a support 2, a cutting component, and a guiding component. The support 2 provides the mounting base for the cutting and guiding components; the cutting component drives the limiting wheel 4 and the cutting blade to rotate via the drive shaft 3, thereby cutting the cable sheath; the guiding component supports the guide wheel 8 via the driven shaft 7, assisting in cable movement and guiding the cutting direction. Integrating cutting and guiding functions, it achieves efficient and precise stripping operations through mechanical synergy, adapting to the stripping needs of cables of different specifications.

[0030] Specifically, the aforementioned drive shaft 3 is the power input shaft of the cutting component, driven to rotate by an external power source, which in turn drives the limit wheels 4 and the first cutting blade 5 to rotate synchronously. This provides stable rotational power, ensuring the cutting blade cuts the cable sheath at a constant speed, thus improving cutting quality. Multiple limit wheels 4 are evenly spaced on the drive shaft 3, and each limit wheel 4 has a first recess 6 on its surface to accommodate the first cutting blade 5. As the limit wheels 4 rotate with the drive shaft 3, the first cutting blade 5 cuts the cable sheath.

[0031] Furthermore, the driven shaft 7 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 2 via bearings, supporting the guide wheel 8 and allowing it to rotate freely. The driven shaft 7 does not directly provide power but passively rotates with the movement of the cable. This reduces the frictional resistance between the cable and the guide wheel 8, ensuring smooth cable movement while maintaining the synchronization between the guide wheel 8 and the cutting components. Multiple guide wheels 8 are evenly spaced on the driven shaft 7, and each guide wheel 8 has a second recess 10 on its surface to accommodate the second cutting blade 9. As the guide wheel 8 rotates with the driven shaft 7, the second cutting blade 9 and the first cutting blade 5 simultaneously cut the cable sheath, achieving bidirectional cutting and facilitating subsequent recycling.

[0032] It should be noted that the first recess 6 and the second recess 10 form a receiving space 11 for accommodating the cable to be cut, and the size of the receiving space 11 gradually increases or decreases along the axial direction of the drive shaft 3, so that it can be selected according to the size of the cable to be stripped during stripping and cutting, thereby improving the applicability of the cable stripping machine.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, there are four guide wheels 8 and four limit wheels 4. The first cutting blade 5 and the second cutting blade 9 corresponding to them are in the same vertical plane. When the limit wheel 4 is driven, the driven shaft 7 is driven by the gear structure (not shown in the figure). The accommodating space 11 between the four guide wheels 8 and the limit wheel 4 can be used to cut the cable. The size of the cable that extends into the corresponding accommodating space 11 should be slightly larger than the accommodating space 11.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In some embodiments of this example, the bracket 2 is provided with a support platform 12 for mounting the drive element 13, the drive element 13 is disposed on the support platform 12, and the drive element 13 is connected to the drive shaft 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the support platform 12 is used to install the drive element 13, which is used to drive the drive shaft 3 to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft 3 drives the first cutting blade 5 and the limiting wheel 4 synchronously. The friction between the rotating limiting wheel 4 and the cable causes the cut cable to be output from the other side of the cutting mechanism, which is convenient for subsequent centralized processing.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In some embodiments of this example, the driving element 13 is a servo motor, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to the drive shaft 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, the aforementioned servo motor refers to an engine that controls the operation of mechanical components in a servo system; it is a type of auxiliary motor indirect speed-changing device. A servo motor can control speed with very high positional accuracy, and can convert voltage signals into torque and speed to drive the controlled object. The excellent control accuracy of a servo motor makes it an ideal material for the drive element 13, but it is not limited to the aforementioned servo motor material; other materials with similar performance can also be used.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of this example, a speed reducer 14 is provided between the drive element 13 and the support platform 12, and the speed reducer 14 is connected to the drive shaft 3 and the drive element 13 respectively.

[0039] In this embodiment, the aforementioned reducer 14 is an independent component consisting of gear transmission, worm transmission, and gear-worm transmission enclosed in a rigid housing. It is commonly used as a speed reduction transmission device between the prime mover and the working machine. It converts the high-speed, low-torque power output by the drive element 13 into the low-speed, high-torque power required by the drive shaft 3, matching the actual working conditions of the load end.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of this example, the support 2 is provided with a feeding plate 15, which is located at the discharge end of the peeling mechanism.

[0041] In this embodiment, the feed plate 15 is used to guide and transport the stripped cables, facilitating subsequent centralized collection and recycling. Specifically, the feed plate 15 consists of two vertically placed side plates with an inclined plate between them. When the stripped cable reaches the inclined plate, it automatically passes through the inclined plate due to its own gravity, facilitating subsequent centralized collection.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of this example, the limiting wheel 4 includes two guide discs 17, and each of the two guide discs 17 has a chamfer 18 for forming the first recess 6 on the side near the first cutting disc 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, the limiting wheel 4 and the first cutting blade 5 are designed separately. The first cutting blade 5 is set between the two guide discs 17. When the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 5 becomes dull after long-term use, it can be disassembled and replaced. Furthermore, the two guide discs 17 and the first cutting blade 5 are locked and fixed by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In some embodiments of this example, the legs of the workbench 1 are provided with a fixed base plate 19, and the fixed base plate 19 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 20 for passing through bolts.

[0045] In this embodiment, the aforementioned fixing base plate 19 is used to fix the entire stripping device at the cable cutting position, improving the stability of the entire machine during use. During installation, bolts are pre-cast at the installation position according to the locking holes 20, so that the entire device can be directly fixed with nuts after positioning.

[0046] In use, after positioning the fixed base plate 19 with the bolts cast in the predetermined installation area, fix it with bolts. After measuring the size of the cable to be stripped, select a receiving space 11 that is slightly smaller than the cable size and align it with the selected receiving space 11. Then, turn on the switch of the drive element 13 by hand. The drive shaft 3 rotates under the power drive of the drive element 13. Several limit wheels 4 on the drive shaft 3 rotate synchronously. While conveying the cable to be stripped, the cable sheath is separated from the cable core by the squeezing action of the first cutting blade 5 and the second cutting blade 9.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
