[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a high-speed cable braiding machine with fault warning function. The high-speed cable braiding machine with fault warning function includes a base 1, a wire feeding mechanism 2 installed at the bottom of the base 1, and a braiding mechanism 3 installed at the top of the base 1. The braiding mechanism 3 includes multiple spindles 4 installed at equal intervals. A control host 16 is also installed on the front side of the base 1. The machine is characterized in that: a guide mechanism 5 is installed on one side of each spindle 4, a detection mechanism 6 is installed on the guide mechanism 5, and a support frame 7 is installed on the top of the base 1. A take-up mechanism 8 is detachably installed on the support frame 7. Each spindle's guide mechanism is equipped with a detection mechanism to detect whether the braiding thread is broken. If the braiding thread breaks unexpectedly, it can be detected in time, and the machine can be stopped and an alarm can be sounded, avoiding braiding quality problems caused by continued braiding due to broken braiding thread, thus improving product quality and production safety. The take-up mechanism is detachably installed on the support frame, making it easy to disassemble and replace the take-up spool when the cable needs to be replaced after being wound for a period of time. This greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the time and manpower spent on replacing the take-up spool.

[0022] The guiding mechanism 5 includes a top plate 501, a bottom plate 502, a guide plate 503, a guide block 504, a first spring 505, and a first limiting rod 506. The top plate 501 is installed on one side of the top of the spindle 4, and the bottom plate 502 is installed on one side of the bottom of the spindle 4. The guide plate 503 is installed between the top plate 501 and the bottom plate 502. Two first springs 505 are installed on the bottom plate 502 at intervals. The guide block 504 is installed on the top of the first springs 505. The first limiting rod 506 is installed on the bottom plate 502 and on both the left and right sides of the guide block 504. The left and right sides of the guide block 504 are provided with limiting blocks 507 that are slidably fitted onto the first limiting rod 506. The top plate 501, the guide plate 503, and the guide block 504 are all provided with guide holes 508. The detection mechanism 6 includes a tension sensor 601, a pull rope 602, a counterweight 603, and a second limiting rod 604. A support plate 605 is mounted on the top of the first limiting rod 506, and the tension sensor 601 is mounted on the bottom of the support plate 605. One end of the tension sensor 601 is connected to the pull rope 602, and the other end of the pull rope 602 is connected to the counterweight 603. The counterweight 603 is located between the two guide blocks 504. Side ears 606 are provided on both sides of the counterweight 603, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the counterweight 603. Second limiting rods 604, which move through the side ears 606, are provided on both sides of the base plate 502. The tension sensor 601 is electrically connected to the control host 16. An early warning device 9 is mounted on the top of the support plate 605 and is electrically connected to the control host 16.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during cable braiding, the braiding wire 17 on spindle 4 passes through the guide hole 508 on the guide plate, then sequentially passes through the guide hole of one guide block 504, the through hole of the counterweight 603, the guide hole of another guide block 504, and finally exits through the guide hole of the top plate 501, thus pulling the cable. The braiding wire is then wrapped around the cable, and the braiding mechanism is activated to braid the wire onto the cable. During the traction and braiding process, the braiding wire is tensioned by the guide mechanism. Under the elastic action of the first spring 505, the braiding wire can be adjusted to achieve tension and support the counterweight 603. The pull rope 602 at the top of the counterweight 603 has a certain length and will not be straightened during normal braiding; the tension sensor 601 does not detect any tension. When the braided thread breaks unexpectedly, it no longer supports the counterweight 603. The counterweight 603 moves downwards under its own weight, at which point the pull rope 602 will be fully taut. The tension sensor 601 detects the tension and sends the information to the control host. The control host activates the alarm and stops the machine, reminding staff to check promptly and avoid braiding quality problems caused by continued weaving due to a broken thread. The alarm can be an audible and visual warning device to alert staff.

[0024] The take-up mechanism 8 includes a take-up motor 801, a rotating shaft 802, a first U-shaped block 803, a take-up drum 804, a second U-shaped block 805, a pin 806, and a magnet 807. The take-up motor 801 is mounted on one side of the support frame 7. The output end of the take-up motor 801 is connected to the rotating shaft 802. A rotating shaft 808 is rotatably mounted on one side of the support frame 7. The first U-shaped block 803 is horizontally mounted at the end of the rotating shaft 802 and the rotating shaft 808. The second U-shaped blocks 805 are horizontally mounted at both ends of the take-up drum 804. The second U-shaped blocks 805 are embedded in the first U-shaped blocks 803. The first U-shaped blocks 803 and the second U-shaped blocks 805 are respectively provided with pin holes 809. A magnet 807 is installed in the bottom of the pin hole 809. The pin 806 is inserted into the pin hole 809 and is a magnetic metal rod that can be attracted to the magnet 807. The take-up motor 801 is electrically connected to the control host 16. A third U-shaped block 10 is installed on one side of the top of the first U-shaped block 803. The top of the third U-shaped block 10 has a circular groove 11, and the top of the circular groove 11 has an opening extending out of the top of the third U-shaped block 10. A second spring 12 is installed in the circular groove 11, and a plug rod 13 is installed at one end of the second spring 12. The top of the pin 806 has a plug hole 14 for inserting the plug rod 13. The end of the plug rod 13 near the second spring 12 has a handle 15 extending out of the opening.

[0025] like Figures 2-5 As shown, during the weaving process, under the action of the take-up motor 801, the rotating shaft 802 can drive the take-up drum 804 to rotate, thus winding up the woven cable. When installing the take-up drum 804, the second U-shaped blocks 805 at both ends of the take-up drum 804 are respectively embedded into the first U-shaped blocks 803 at one end of the rotating shaft 802 and the rotating shaft 808. The pin 806 is inserted into the pin hole 809, and the pin is attracted to the magnet, thus fixing the first and second U-shaped blocks. When inserting the pin 806, the insertion hole 14 is aligned with the insertion rod 43, and then the insertion rod 13 is inserted into the insertion hole 14, further limiting the pin's position. This further enhances the stability of the first and second U-shaped blocks. When the take-up drum needs to be removed, the insertion rod 13 is pulled by the handle 15, pressing the second spring 12 to disengage the insertion rod 13 from the insertion hole 14, and then the pin 806 is pulled out, allowing the take-up drum to be removed. This facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the take-up drum.

[0026] The detection mechanism 6 also includes a pressure sensor 607, which is mounted on the base plate 502 and located below the counterweight 603. The pressure sensor 607 is electrically connected to the control host 16.

[0027] A pressure sensor 607 is also installed on the base plate. When the braided thread breaks, the counterweight 603 loses its support and moves downward, pressing against the pressure sensor 607. The pressure sensor will detect the pressure information and transmit it to the control host, triggering a shutdown alarm. The detection mechanism includes a tension sensor 601 and a pressure sensor 607. Under normal circumstances, when the braided thread breaks, both the tension sensor 601 and the pressure sensor 607 will detect the breakage, providing dual detection. Even if one sensor fails, the other sensor can still detect the breakage, ensuring timely detection of abnormalities.

[0028] Work process:

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Each spindle 4 is equipped with a detection mechanism 6 on its guide mechanism 5 to detect whether the braided thread 17 is broken. When the braided thread breaks unexpectedly, it no longer supports the counterweight 603. The counterweight 603 moves downward under its own weight, at which point the pull rope 602 will be completely straightened. The tension sensor 601 detects the tension, and the downward movement of the counterweight 603 will press against the pressure sensor 607. The pressure sensor 607 will detect the pressure information and send it to the control host 16. The control host then controls the shutdown alarm. The winding mechanism 8 is detachably mounted on the support frame for easy disassembly and replacement.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
