Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of wire reel technology, specifically to a wire reel cable laying and replacement device. Background Technology
[0002] Cable reels are specialized reels for electrical wires and cables, and they come in two sizes: large and small. Large cable reels have a diameter exceeding 1 meter, and some even reach over 5 meters; typical examples are large wooden transport and logistics reels. Small cable reels have a diameter of only 30cm-100cm, and are typically made of ABS flame-retardant or high-temperature resistant materials. Cable laying is generally done using equipment that can restrict its position, greatly improving efficiency compared to manual labor. Therefore, cable reel laying and replacement equipment is needed.
[0003] Patent number CN221191007U discloses a wiring device for furniture and home decoration. This wiring device involves removing a side panel, then installing a wire reel below a rotating shaft. After installation, one end of the wire on the reel is pulled out through a round hole in the side panel. The side panel is then installed back onto the housing. The worker can then pull the wire extending from the round hole to release the wire. The reel rotates under the force, thus achieving the purpose of releasing the wire.
[0004] However, the aforementioned electrical wiring devices for furniture and home decoration are not very convenient to replace the reels, and can only replace reels of a single size. Their applicability in actual use is limited, and different replacement devices are required for different sizes of reels, resulting in high usage costs and low cost-effectiveness.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing mechanism further includes a rotating column and an electrical reel. The side of the rotating column is rotatably connected to the top left side of the fixing frame. A retaining column is connected to the bottom of the rotating column. The bottom of the electrical reel is attached to the top right side of the support frame. A retaining hole is opened on the top of the electrical reel, and the inner wall of the retaining hole is attached to the side of the retaining column.

[0014] Preferably, the deceleration mechanism includes a connecting cylinder and a deceleration block. The bottom of the connecting cylinder is detachably connected to the top right side of the fixed frame. A rubber block is connected to the upper right side of the inner wall of the connecting cylinder. The deceleration block is uniformly connected to the upper side of the rotating column.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation speed of the rotating column can be reduced by the contact between the rubber block connected by the connecting cylinder and the deceleration block, and the friction force experienced by the deceleration block during rotation can be increased, thereby achieving the purpose of slowing down the wire reel's unloading.

[0018] Preferably, the lifting mechanism further includes a screw and an outer tube, the bottom of the screw is connected to the center of the top of the turntable, the inner wall of the outer tube is threaded to the side of the screw, and the top of the outer tube is connected to the bottom of the support frame.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection between the screw and the outer tube can be used to provide a basis for converting rotation into up-and-down movement.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding connection between the limiting hole in the limiting plate and the limiting rod can be used to convert the rotation of the screw driving the rotation of the outer tube into up and down movement, thereby adjusting the height of the wire reel to the target value.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the control plate connected to the right side of the telescopic tube can be used to control the telescopic tube to shorten, thereby causing the suction cup to detach from the base plate, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the outer tube.
[0024] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0025] This application provides a cable reel cable laying and replacement device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. This wire reel feeding and replacement device, through the setting of a fixing mechanism, allows the wire reel to be placed on the surface of the support frame. After the control of the fixing frame is released, the fixing frame moves down under the action of the spring in the movable cavity. The downward movement of the fixing frame causes the retaining post at the bottom of the rotating column to insert into the retaining hole and fix the wire reel. This expands the applicability of the replacement device, avoids the need to configure different replacement devices, reduces the operating cost of the replacement device, and improves the cost-effectiveness of the replacement device.
[0027] 2. This wire reel cable replacement device features a lifting mechanism. Rotating the control lever rotates the turntable at the top of the support column, which in turn rotates the screw, causing the outer tube to move upward. This upward movement of the outer tube causes the limiting plate, which has a limiting hole that slides with the limiting rod, to move upward. Once the target height is reached, the control plate moves downward, causing the suction cup at the bottom of the telescopic tube to adhere to the surface of the base plate. This improves the accuracy of the wire reel height adjustment and enhances the stability of the replacement device. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This application provides a wire reel unloading and replacement device, including a base plate 1, a lifting mechanism 2 for adjusting height, and a deceleration mechanism 4 for reducing unloading speed. The top of the lifting mechanism 2 is connected to a fixing mechanism 3 for clamping different types of wire reels. The fixing mechanism 3 includes a spring 303 and a fixing frame 304. The spring 303 is located on the upper left side of the lifting mechanism 2. The bottom of the fixing frame 304 is connected to the top of the spring 303. A support frame 301 is connected to the top of the lifting mechanism 2. A movable cavity 302 is opened on the top left side of the support frame 301. The bottom of the inner wall of the movable cavity 302 is connected to the bottom of the spring 303. The side of the inner wall of the movable cavity 302 is slidably connected to the left side of the fixing frame 304. The top of the fixing frame 304... A rotating column 305 is rotatably connected to the left side, and a retaining column 306 is connected to the bottom of the rotating column 305. A wire reel 307 is attached to the top right side of the support frame 301. A retaining hole 308 is opened on the top of the wire reel 307. The inner wall of the retaining hole 308 is attached to the side of the retaining column 306. The bottom of the lifting mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the top center of the base plate 1. The deceleration mechanism 4 is connected to the side of the fixing mechanism 3. After the wire reel 307 is placed on the surface of the support frame 301, the control of the fixing frame 304 is released. Under the action of the spring 303 in the movable cavity 302, the fixing frame 304 moves down. The movement of the fixing frame 304 causes the retaining column 306 at the bottom of the rotating column 305 to be inserted into the retaining hole 308 to fix the wire reel 307.
[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In one aspect of this embodiment, the deceleration mechanism 4 includes a connecting cylinder 401 and a deceleration block 403. The bottom of the connecting cylinder 401 is detachably connected to the top right side of the fixed frame 304. A rubber block 402 is connected to the upper right side of the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 401. The deceleration block 403 is evenly connected to the upper side of the rotating column 305. The rotation of the rotating column 305 drives the deceleration block 403 to rotate. When the deceleration block 403 rotates, it rubs against the surface of the rubber block 402 inside the connecting cylinder 401, thereby reducing the rotation speed of the rotating column 305.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one aspect of this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a support column 201 and a turntable 202. The bottom of the support column 201 is rotatably connected to the top center of the base plate 1, and the bottom of the turntable 202 is connected to the top of the support column 201. A control rod 208 is connected to the right side of the turntable 202, and a screw 203 is connected to the top center of the turntable 202. An outer tube 204 is threadedly connected to the side of the screw 203. The top of the outer tube 204 is connected to the bottom of the support frame 301, and a limiting plate 205 is connected to the lower left side of the outer tube 204. A limiting hole 206 is opened on the top left side of the limiting plate 205. A limiting rod 207 is connected to the top left side of the base plate 1, and the side of the limiting rod 207 is connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole 206. The sliding connection is provided. A telescopic tube 209 is connected to the bottom right side of the turntable 202. A suction cup 210 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic tube 209. The bottom of the suction cup 210 is attached to the top right side of the base plate 1. A control plate 211 is connected to the lower right side of the telescopic tube 209. Rotating the control rod 208 causes the turntable 202 at the top of the support column 201 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 202 causes the screw 203 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 203 causes the outer tube 204 to move upward. The upward movement of the outer tube 204 causes the limiting plate 205, which has a limiting hole 206 that is slidably connected to the limiting rod 207, to move upward. After reaching the target height, the control plate 211 moves downward, causing the suction cup 210 at the bottom of the telescopic tube 209 to adhere to the surface of the base plate 1.
[0041] All electrical devices in this plan are powered by an external power source.
[0042] Working principle: In use, after placing the wire reel 307 on the surface of the support frame 301, release the control of the fixing frame 304. Under the elastic force of the spring 303 in the movable cavity 302, the fixing frame 304 moves down. The downward movement of the fixing frame 304 causes the retaining post 306 at the bottom of the rotating column 305 to insert into the retaining hole 308, fixing the wire reel 307. Rotating the control rod 208 causes the turntable 202 at the top of the support column 201 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 202 causes the screw 203 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 203 causes... The outer tube 204 moves upward, which in turn moves the limiting plate 205, which has a limiting hole 206 that is slidably connected to the limiting rod 207, upward. After reaching the target height, the control plate 211 moves downward, which causes the suction cup 210 at the bottom of the telescopic tube 209 to adhere to the surface of the base plate 1. When the wire is pulled to release the wire, the wire reel 307 rotates, which causes the rotating column 305 at the top of the fixing column 306 to rotate. The rotating column 305 rotates, which causes the deceleration block 403 to slide past the surface of the rubber block 402 inside the connecting cylinder 401 in sequence, thus reducing the wire release speed.
