Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical cable take-up technology, specifically to a drop optical cable take-up device. Background Technology

[0002] Optical cable winding refers to the process of winding and organizing optical cables for storage and transportation.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN218708255U) discloses a drop cable winding device, including a base plate, with support plates fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the base plate. A rotating shaft is movably installed between the two support plates, and a winding disc is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. A driving device is fixedly installed on the right side of the right support plate, and the output end of the driving device is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The top and bottom of the winding disc are respectively provided with grooves, and bolt holes are equally spaced within the grooves. Several partition plates are installed within the grooves, each partition plate including a divider plate and a retaining plate. The retaining plate and the divider plate are fixedly connected, forming a T-shape. The retaining plate is arc-shaped and has holes, and is fixedly installed in the bolt holes by bolts. The operator can move the position of the partition plates, adjust the distance between them, and then fix them in the bolt holes, thereby winding optical cables of different specifications. This improves applicability and solves the problem of low winding efficiency caused by the fixed spacing between the partition plates, which prevents winding different specifications of optical cables.

[0004] After the optical cable is wound up, the above-mentioned optical cable winding device makes it inconvenient to disassemble the wound optical cable or to use cable ties to secure it. There is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a drop cable take-up device, which facilitates the disassembly of the wound optical cable, makes optical cable take-up operations easier, and allows for easy bundling and securing of the wound optical cable with cable ties, thus providing convenience for subsequent storage and transportation of the optical cable. This solves the problem that existing optical cable take-up devices are inconvenient for disassembling the wound optical cable after take-up, and also inconvenient for bundling and securing the wound optical cable with cable ties.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a drop cable take-up device, comprising a base plate, a first bracket fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the first bracket, a take-up drum fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft, two fixed side plates fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the take-up drum, two first binding holes provided between the two fixed side plates, two movable side plates slidably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the take-up drum, two second binding holes provided between the two movable side plates, and two binding grooves formed on the outer circumferential surface of the take-up drum.

[0007] Two T-shaped sliding plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each movable side plate. The inside of the take-up drum has four T-shaped sliding grooves. The T-shaped sliding plates are slidably connected to the take-up drum through the T-shaped sliding grooves. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each movable side plate. A positioning rod is slidably inserted into the inside of each fixing plate. The outer circumferential surface of the take-up drum has equidistantly arranged positioning holes. The positioning rod is slidably inserted into the take-up drum through the positioning holes. A collar is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of each positioning rod. A spring is fixedly connected between the collar and the fixing plate.

[0008] The above solution addresses the inconvenience of disassembling and securing the wound optical cable after it has been wound, as existing optical cable winding devices are not convenient for this purpose. By incorporating a T-shaped sliding plate, T-shaped groove, fixing plate, positioning rod, positioning hole, collar, and spring, the movement, adjustment, installation, and disassembly of the movable side plate are facilitated, thereby simplifying the disassembly of the wound optical cable and improving the overall winding process. Furthermore, the inclusion of a first binding hole, a second binding hole, and a binding groove allows for easy securing of the wound optical cable with cable ties, facilitating subsequent storage and transportation of the optical cable.

[0009] Furthermore, the first binding hole, the second binding hole, and the binding groove are all symmetrically arranged, and the positions of the first binding hole, the second binding hole, and the binding groove correspond to each other.

[0010] With the above scheme, the first bundling hole, the second bundling hole, and the bundling groove are all symmetrically arranged and corresponding in position, which makes it easy to bundle the drop optical cable from different positions after winding, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the bundling.

[0011] Furthermore, a second bracket is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, and a lead screw is rotatably connected inside the second bracket. A movable seat is threaded to the external circumferential surface of the lead screw, and a through hole is opened at the top of the movable seat.

[0012] The above solution allows for precise control of the horizontal position of the moving seat by rotating the lead screw, which in turn moves the through hole, providing accurate guidance for the drop cable passing through the through hole. This enables the drop cable to be wound smoothly and accurately onto the take-up drum, improving the quality of cable winding.

[0013] Furthermore, a limiting rod is fixedly connected inside the second bracket, and a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable seat. The limiting ring and the limiting rod are slidably sleeved together.

[0014] Through the above scheme, the cooperation of the limiting rod and the limiting ring plays a limiting and guiding role in the movement of the moving seat, preventing the moving seat from deviating or shaking during the movement, ensuring that the moving seat can move stably along the axial direction of the lead screw, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0015] Furthermore, a first motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate via a base, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0016] Through the above scheme, the first motor can provide power for the rotation of the shaft, enabling the winding drum to rotate automatically to wind up the drop cable.

[0017] Furthermore, a second motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate via a base, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw.

[0018] Through the above scheme, the second motor provides power for the rotation of the lead screw, ensuring that the lead screw can rotate stably and reliably, thereby driving the moving seat to move accurately and providing effective power support for guiding the drop cable.

[0019] Furthermore, a U-shaped rod is slidably inserted into the interior of one of the fixed side plates, and two nuts are threaded onto the outer circumferential surface of the U-shaped rod.

[0020] The above method allows one end of the optical cable to be secured between the U-shaped rod and the fixed side plate, and then the nut to be tightened to fix the optical cable, facilitating subsequent cable winding operations.

[0021] Furthermore, both ends of the through hole are arc-shaped structures.

[0022] The above-mentioned design reduces friction between the drop cable and the edge of the through hole when the cable passes through it, preventing damage to the cable and protecting its quality. This extends the cable's lifespan and improves the performance and safety of the cable take-up device.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This fiber optic cable take-up device, with its T-shaped sliding plate, T-shaped groove, fixing plate, positioning rod, positioning hole, collar, and spring, facilitates the movement, adjustment, installation, and disassembly of the movable side plate, thereby enabling convenient disassembly of the wound fiber optic cable and facilitating the cable take-up operation. The first and second binding holes and binding groove allow for easy bundling and securing of the wound fiber optic cable with cable ties, providing convenience for subsequent storage and transportation. The rotating screw drives the moving seat, enabling adjustment of the fiber optic cable passing through the through-holes during take-up, ensuring even winding of the cable onto the take-up drum and preventing the cable from remaining tangled and stacked in one position.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This embodiment of a drop cable take-up device includes a base plate 1, a first bracket 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably connected inside the first bracket 2, a take-up drum 4 fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3, two fixed side plates 5 fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the take-up drum 4, two first binding holes 6 provided between the two fixed side plates 5, two movable side plates 7 slidably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the take-up drum 4, two second binding holes 8 provided between the two movable side plates 7, and two binding grooves 9 opened on the outer circumferential surface of the take-up drum 4.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each movable side plate 7 has two T-shaped sliding plates 10 fixedly connected to its inner wall. The take-up drum 4 has four T-shaped sliding grooves 11 inside. The T-shaped sliding plates 10 are slidably connected to the take-up drum 4 through the T-shaped sliding grooves 11. Each movable side plate 7 has a fixed plate 12 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each fixed plate 12 has a positioning rod 13 slidably inserted inside its interior. The take-up drum 4 has equidistantly arranged positioning holes 14 on its outer circumferential surface. The positioning rods 13 are slidably inserted into the take-up drum 4 through the positioning holes 14. Each positioning rod 13 has a collar 15 fixedly sleeved on its outer circumferential surface. A spring 16 is fixedly connected between the collar 15 and the fixed plate 12.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first bundling hole 6, the second bundling hole 8, and the bundling groove 9 are all symmetrically arranged, and their positions correspond. This allows the drop cable to be easily bundled from different positions after winding, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the bundling.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A second bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. A lead screw 18 is rotatably connected inside the second bracket 17. A movable seat 19 is threaded to the external circumferential surface of the lead screw 18. A through hole 20 is opened at the top of the movable seat 19. The movement position of the movable seat 19 in the horizontal direction can be precisely controlled by the rotation of the lead screw 18, thereby driving the through hole 20 to move, providing accurate guidance for the drop optical cable passing through the through hole 20, so that the drop optical cable can be smoothly and accurately wound onto the take-up drum 4, improving the quality of cable take-up.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The second bracket 17 is internally fixedly connected to a limiting rod 21, and the bottom of the movable seat 19 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 22. The limiting ring 22 is slidably sleeved with the limiting rod 21. The cooperation between the limiting rod 21 and the limiting ring 22 plays a limiting and guiding role in the movement of the movable seat 19, preventing the movable seat 19 from deviating or shaking during the movement, ensuring that the movable seat 19 can move stably along the axial direction of the lead screw 18, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper surface of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to the first motor 23 via the base. The output end of the first motor 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 3. The first motor 23 can provide power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 3, so that the winding drum 4 can automatically rotate to perform the winding of the drop cable.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper surface of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to the second motor 24 via the base. The output end of the second motor 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 18. The second motor 24 provides power for the rotation of the lead screw 18, ensuring that the lead screw 18 can rotate stably and reliably, thereby driving the moving seat 19 to move accurately, providing effective power support for guiding the drop cable.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 One of the fixed side plates 5 has a U-shaped rod 25 that is slidably inserted inside. The outer circumference of the U-shaped rod 25 is threaded with two nuts 26. One end of the optical cable can be clamped between the U-shaped rod 25 and the fixed side plate 5, and then the nuts 26 can be tightened to fix the optical cable, which facilitates the subsequent cable winding operation.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Both ends of the through hole 20 are arc-shaped structures. The arc-shaped structure design can reduce the friction between the drop optical cable and the edge of the through hole 20 when the drop optical cable passes through the through hole 20, avoid damage to the drop optical cable due to friction, protect the quality of the drop optical cable, extend the service life of the drop optical cable, and also improve the use effect and safety of the cable take-up device.

[0042] This embodiment of a drop cable take-up device, by setting a T-shaped sliding plate 10, a T-shaped sliding groove 11, a fixing plate 12, a positioning rod 13, a positioning hole 14, a collar 15, and a spring 16, facilitates the movement, adjustment, installation, and disassembly of the movable side plate 7, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the wound optical cable and making the optical cable take-up operation easier. By setting a first binding hole 6, a second binding hole 8, and a binding groove 9, it is convenient to use cable ties to bind and fix the wound optical cable, providing convenience for subsequent storage and transportation of the optical cable. During the rotation of the lead screw 18, the movable seat 19 is moved, which can move and adjust the optical cable passing through the through hole 20 during the take-up process, so that the optical cable is evenly wound on the take-up drum 4, avoiding the optical cable from being always tangled and stacked in one position.

[0043] It should be noted that both the first motor 23 and the second motor 24 are servo motors.

[0044] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0045] Before starting the cable winding operation, the fiber optic cable is passed through the through hole 20. Then, one end of the fiber optic cable is secured between the U-shaped rod 25 and the fixed side plate 5. The two nuts 26 connected to the threaded outer circumference of the U-shaped rod 25 are tightened. The fiber optic cable is secured by the squeezing action of the nuts 26, the U-shaped rod 25, and the fixed side plate 5. The first motor 23 is started to drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the winding drum 4 to rotate, starting the winding of the fiber optic cable. The second motor 24 is started to drive the lead screw 18 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 18 will drive the moving... The seat 19 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 18. This movement of the seat 19 causes the through hole 20 to move, providing accurate guidance for the drop cable passing through the through hole 20. This ensures the drop cable is evenly wound onto the take-up drum 4, preventing it from remaining coiled and stacked in one position. After the take-up drum 4 finishes winding the drop cable, workers can use cable ties or other binding tools to secure the wound cable through the first binding hole 6, the second binding hole 8, and the binding groove 9, facilitating subsequent storage and transportation of the cable. When it is necessary to disassemble the wound optical cable, pull the positioning rod 13. Since the positioning rod 13 is slidably inserted into the winding drum 4 through the positioning hole 14, and a collar 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the positioning rod 13, and a spring 16 is fixedly connected between the collar 15 and the fixed plate 12, pulling the positioning rod 13 will stretch the spring 16, and the positioning rod 13 will be pulled out from the positioning hole 14, releasing the fixation on the movable side plate 7. Since a T-shaped sliding plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable side plate 7, and a T-shaped sliding groove 11 is opened inside the winding drum 4, the positioning rod 13 will be pulled out. The T-shaped slide plate 10 is slidably connected to the take-up drum 4 via the T-shaped slide groove 11. Therefore, the movable side plate 7 can be pushed to slide the T-shaped slide plate 10 in the T-shaped slide groove 11, thereby removing the movable side plate 7 from the take-up drum 4. Finally, loosen the nut 26 and remove one end of the drop cable from the U-shaped rod 25. The wound and bundled optical cable can then be removed from the take-up drum 4. The positioning rod 13 can be inserted into the positioning holes 14 at different positions to adjust the distance between the fixed side plate 5 and the movable side plate 7 according to the winding requirements of different optical cables.
