Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable production technology, and in particular to a cotton thread removal machine. Background Technology
[0002] Cables are typically rope-like structures made of several or groups of cores twisted together. Each group of cores is insulated from each other and is often twisted around a central core. The entire cable is covered with a highly insulating outer layer. In addition to the relatively rigid outer insulating sheath and the internal multi-core cable, cables also contain cotton threads and braided layers. During cable production, the cotton threads need to be cut off, usually manually using a cutting knife. However, manual cutting has the following drawbacks: 1. Low cutting efficiency and long cutting time; 2. Inconsistency in cotton thread cutting cannot be guaranteed, and the cutting quality is poor, easily causing product scrap; 3. High labor intensity for workers.
[0003] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cotton thread removal machine that is simple in structure, has high cutting efficiency, good cutting quality, low labor intensity, and strong practicality, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0005] A cotton thread removal machine designed for this purpose includes a machine body, characterized in that: the machine body is provided with:
[0006] A wire clamp device for clamping wires;
[0007] An airflow device, used to adjust the position of the cotton thread by directional airflow;
[0008] A cotton thread tensioning device, comprising a clamping assembly and a tensioning assembly connected to the clamping assembly, wherein the clamping assembly is used to clamp the cotton thread whose position is being adjusted, and the tensioning assembly drives the clamping assembly to move so that the cotton thread on the clamping assembly is straightened;
[0009] A cutting device for cutting straightened cotton thread.
[0010] The airflow device is an air suction device used to attract cotton threads on the wire.
[0011] The wire clamp device includes a first driver, a connecting rod assembly, and fixed clamps. The first driver drives the connecting rod assembly, and the fixed clamps are respectively located at both ends of the connecting rod assembly. The first driver drives the two fixed clamps to open and close through the connecting rod assembly. When the two fixed clamps are closed, they clamp and fix the wire.
[0012] The wire clamp device also includes a support plate, which is fixed on the first driver and has notches for supporting the wire.
[0013] The cutting device is equipped with a cutting station. The suction device is located below the cutting station and includes a suction component, a suction connector, and a suction channel. One end of the suction connector is connected to the suction component, and the other end of the suction connector is connected to the suction channel. The suction channel, the suction connector, and the suction component are connected in sequence. When the suction component sucks air, the cotton thread on the cutting station extends vertically downward into the suction channel.
[0014] The clamping assembly is located below the cutting station and includes a second driver and a clamping block component. The second driver drives the clamping block component, which is provided with a clamping part for clamping the cotton thread. The clamping part is located on the upper side of the suction channel. The second driver drives the two clamping block components to open and close. When the two clamping block components are closed, the cotton thread on the cutting station is clamped by the clamping part.
[0015] The tensioning assembly includes a third driver and a lifting plate. The third driver drives the lifting plate, and the suction device and clamping assembly are fixedly installed on the lifting plate. The third driver drives the lifting plate to move up and down, and the lifting plate drives the suction device and clamping assembly to move up and down. When the clamping assembly descends, it pulls down to straighten the cotton thread on the cutting station.
[0016] The cutting device includes a fourth driver, a movable cutter assembly, and a fixed cutter. The fourth driver drives the movable cutter assembly, and the cutting station is located between the movable cutter assembly and the fixed cutter. The fourth driver drives the movable cutter assembly to move horizontally back and forth. When the movable cutter assembly moves toward the fixed cutter, the movable cutter assembly and the fixed cutter cooperate with each other to cut the cotton thread at the cutting station.
[0017] The fixed cutter has a V-shaped cutting edge. The cotton thread at the cutting station passes through the cutting edge. One end of the movable cutter assembly has a blade. When the movable cutter assembly moves toward the fixed cutter, the blade squeezes the cotton thread on the cutting edge, thereby cutting the cotton thread.
[0018] It also includes a mounting base and a guide base. The mounting base is fixed to the machine body, the wire clamp device is fixed to the mounting base, and a slide rail assembly is provided between the lifting plate and the mounting base. The lifting plate is linearly slid up and down on the mounting base through the slide rail assembly. The guide base is fixed to the top of the mounting base and is provided with a guide groove and a limit block. The moving cutter assembly is horizontally movably arranged on the guide groove. When the moving cutter assembly moves in the direction of the fixed cutter, it is limited to the limit block.
[0019] This utility model provides a cotton thread removal machine. A wire clamping device clamps and fixes a cable with cotton thread attached. A suction device then draws in the cotton thread at the cutting station, followed by a clamping assembly that clamps the thread. A tensioning assembly then straightens the thread, and finally, a cutting device cuts the thread. This achieves automatic thread removal, improving efficiency, shortening time, ensuring consistent thread cutting, improving quality, and reducing worker workload. Attached Figure Description
