Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable manufacturing technology, specifically to an irradiation crosslinking machine for cable processing. Background Technology

[0002] Irradiation crosslinking technology involves irradiating the polymer attached to the cable with ultraviolet light in an irradiation crosslinking machine, causing changes in the polymer's structure and giving the polymer covering the cable's outer layer properties such as insulation, water resistance, and high temperature resistance.

[0003] Irradiation crosslinking machines irradiate cables with multiple sets of ultraviolet (UV) lamps. The intensity of the UV light determines the degree of change in the polymer structure on the cable surface. If the UV light intensity is weak, the polymer structure will not change completely. The lamps are a certain distance away from the cable surface. When irradiating thinner cables, the UV irradiation distance will be longer. The UV light will attenuate rapidly with increasing distance, which can easily lead to incomplete changes in the polymer structure on the cable surface. Therefore, an irradiation crosslinking machine for cable processing is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0005] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section above, some embodiments of this application provide an irradiation crosslinking machine for cable processing, including a crosslinking machine body, an irradiation box fixedly mounted on the crosslinking machine body, a cable passing through the irradiation box, a maintenance mechanism mounted on the crosslinking machine body, and an adjustment mechanism mounted on the irradiation box; the adjustment mechanism includes a drive assembly fixedly mounted on the irradiation box, a rotating assembly mounted on the irradiation box, and an irradiation lamp fixedly mounted on the rotating assembly.

[0006] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive motor fixedly mounted on the irradiation box, a first bracket fixedly mounted on the irradiation box, a drive ring rotatably mounted on the first bracket, a first sliding groove fixedly mounted on the drive ring, and a gear ring fixedly mounted on the drive ring and meshing with the drive motor.

[0007] Specifically, the rotating assembly includes multiple second slide grooves fixed on the drive ring, a rotating seat fixed on the irradiation box, a third slide groove fixed on the rotating seat, multiple adjusting blocks slidably disposed on the second and third slide grooves, a first slider fixed on the adjusting blocks and sliding along the second slide groove, and a second slider fixed on the adjusting blocks and sliding along the third slide groove.

[0008] Specifically, the maintenance mechanism includes a second bracket symmetrically fixed on the crosslinking machine body, an irradiation cover rotatably mounted on the second bracket, a third bracket fixed on the irradiation cover, a locking device mounted on the irradiation cover and the crosslinking machine body, and a support device mounted on the irradiation cover and the crosslinking machine.

[0009] Specifically, the locking device includes a first locking seat symmetrically disposed on the crosslinking machine body, a second locking seat symmetrically fixed on the irradiation cover, a fourth sliding groove fixed on the second locking seat, a locking buckle slidably disposed on the fourth sliding groove, a through groove fixed on the locking buckle, and a fastening cover rotatably disposed on the first locking seat.

[0010] Specifically, the support device includes a support rod with one end rotatably mounted on the crosslinking machine body and the other end rotatably mounted on the irradiation cover.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) During irradiation, the drive motor drives the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the drive ring to rotate. The drive ring and the first slide groove drive the first slider to slide, which in turn causes the adjustment block to slide on the second slide groove. The diameter of the hole formed by the adjustment block is reduced, that is, the distance between the irradiation lamp and the cable is shortened. When processing thinner cables, it can ensure that the polymer structure on the surface of the cable can be fully changed.

[0013] (2) The position of the irradiation lamp in the prior art cannot be adjusted. When it is necessary to process thinner cables, the power of the irradiation lamp is usually increased to ensure that the polymer structure on the surface of the cable can be fully changed. This invention reduces the attenuation of ultraviolet light by adjusting the distance between the irradiation lamp and the cable. Compared with the prior art, it does not require adjusting the power of the irradiation lamp and is more energy-efficient. Attached Figure Description
