The tension arm further ensures the stability of the wire feeding tension, improves product quality, and increases the product yield. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has good performance, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions still have certain defects. When transporting cables, the tension of the cables cannot be adjusted, and the wear on the surface of the cables cannot be guaranteed to meet the requirements for cable transport. Therefore, a constant tension electric cable tensioner is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a constant tension electric cable tensioner includes a base 1, a placement plate 3 on the base 1, and an internal conveying assembly 5. The conveying assembly 5 includes a second motor 51 and a transmission rod 54. The output end of the second motor 51 and one end of the transmission rod 54 are both provided with a rotating wheel 53. The rotating wheel 53 is a gear, and the second motor 51 and the rotating wheel 53 are connected to each other through a transmission belt 52. The end of the transmission rod 54 of the conveying assembly 5 is provided with an output wheel 55 for winding the cable.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second motor 51, transmission rod 54, rotating wheel 53, and output wheel 55 are integrated inside the base 1, reducing external protruding parts and making the overall structure of the equipment compact, facilitating transportation and installation. The rotating wheel 53 adopts a gear design to ensure tight meshing with the transmission belt 52, reducing the risk of slippage and improving transmission efficiency. The second motor 51 transmits power to the output wheel 55 through the transmission rod 54, realizing stable winding of the cable, suitable for tension control requirements of different wire diameters. The stable operation of the conveying component 5 is a prerequisite for the adjustment component 6 to achieve constant tension. By controlling the linear speed of the output wheel 55, a closed-loop adjustment system is formed with the clamping force of the clamping component 4 and the pulley position of the adjustment component 6.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 2 includes a first motor 21, a drive rod 23 fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 21, a limiting seat 22 for limiting the drive rod 23, and a fixing block 24 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A threaded rod 25 and a limiting rod 26 are rotatably connected to the side of the fixing block 24. The threaded rod 25 is threadedly connected to a moving block 27, and the moving block 27 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 26. A pushing block 28 is fixedly connected to the moving block 27. The clamping assembly 4 includes components that achieve synchronous opening and closing through half-gear meshing. The device comprises a first chuck 41 and a second chuck 42. The first chuck 41 has an L-shaped extension that contacts the plane of the push block 28. The first motor 21 is a bidirectional motor, and each end of the first motor 21 is connected to a drive rod 23. A set of bevel gears is fixedly connected to the ends of the two drive rods 23 away from the first motor 21. A bevel gear is also fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 25 near the drive rods 23, and the drive rods 23 and the threaded rods 25 mesh with each other. The extension is a straight arm structure. The first motor 21 is driven by both ends. The synchronous output power of rod 23 is converted into synchronous counter-rotation of two threaded rods 25 via a bevel gear set, ensuring symmetrical movement of the two moving blocks 27 and avoiding jamming caused by unilateral force. The threaded engagement between the threaded rods 25 and the moving blocks 27 converts the rotational motion into linear motion, which, together with the limit rod 26, eliminates radial wobble. The first and second chucks 42 achieve strictly synchronous opening and closing through half-gear meshing. Compared with independently driven dual chucks, this avoids the clamping misalignment problem caused by differences in motor response. The horizontal section of the extension and the push block 28 The planar contact transforms the linear thrust of the moving block 27 into the rotational clamping force of the chuck, amplifying the torque. When the motor stops, the threaded engagement between the threaded rod 25 and the moving block 27 naturally forms a self-locking mechanism, preventing the clamping assembly 4 from accidentally loosening under external vibration or cable tension. The limiting seat 22 of the drive rod 23 ensures accurate bevel gear meshing and prevents gear disengagement when the motor is overloaded. The opening and closing degree of the clamping assembly 4 directly controls the cable gripping force, forming a closed-loop adjustment with the linear speed of the conveying assembly 5 and the pulley position of the adjusting assembly 6.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly 6 consists of a base 61, a rotating handle 62, a second screw 63, a drive block 64, and a V-groove pulley 65. The inner wall of the base 61 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating handle 62. The second screw 63 is rotatably connected to the base 61. The second screw 63 is threadedly connected to the drive block 64, and the drive block 64 slides within the base 61. The top of the drive block 64 is fixedly connected to the V-groove pulley 65. By rotating the rotating handle 62, the second screw 63 is driven to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the second screw 63 drives the drive block 64 to move linearly, thereby adjusting the position of the V-groove pulley 65 on the base 61. This adjusts the cable tension when the cable is wound around the V-groove pulley 65. At the same time, the adjustment assembly 6 adjusts the cable wrap angle by changing the position of the V-groove pulley 65, thereby maintaining constant tension.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 are mirror images of each other along the center line of the short side of the placement plate 3. The threaded rod 25, the limiting rod 26, the moving block 27, the pushing block 28, and the fixing block 24 are also mirror images of each other along the center line of the short side of the placement plate 3. The clamping assembly 4 clamps the cable passing through the output wheel 55. The two sets of clamping assemblies 4 can work independently, so that the two cables are processed synchronously. When clamping the cable of the output wheel 55, the V-groove pulley 65 and the clamp form a triple positioning to maintain the balance of the cable during the transport.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the V-groove pulley 65 is provided with a polyurethane wear-resistant layer; this avoids indentations on the cable surface, while also increasing the service life of the V-groove pulley 65 and improving its anti-slip performance.

[0039] The above embodiment discloses a constant tension electric cable tensioner, wherein a transmission component 2 drives a clamping component 4 to clamp an output wheel 55, so that the cable wound on the output wheel 55 remains stable during transportation. At the same time, an adjustment component 6 adjusts the cable tension. The adjustment component 6 adjusts the cable wrap angle by changing the position of the V-groove pulley 65, thereby maintaining constant tension. The two sets of clamping components 4 can work independently, so that two cables are processed synchronously. When clamping the cable on the output wheel 55, the V-groove pulley 65 and the clamp form a triple positioning to maintain the balance of the cable during transportation.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
