Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of underwater robot-related equipment, and in particular to a cable management and cleaning structure and a cable winder. Background Technology

[0002] An underwater robot is a type of robot designed for extreme underwater operations. Due to the harsh and dangerous underwater environment and the limited diving depth of humans, underwater robots have become crucial tools for ocean exploration, development, and disaster relief. Underwater robots are mainly divided into two control types: tethered and wireless. Tethered underwater robots, when performing their tasks underwater, require a cable to maintain signal transmission and power transfer with the control center. This control method effectively ensures the stability and reliability of the underwater robot's control and the data it transmits.

[0003] During underwater robot operation, cable unwinding via a cable winder is necessary to ensure the cable meets the robot's requirements for long-distance data transmission and power supply. After completing underwater tasks, the unwound cable needs to be wound back up using the cable winder. This is typically done manually or by a motor-driven mechanism that rotates the winding reel, pulling the cable and winding it onto the reel. However, current winding methods generally lack cable management features; they simply wind the cable, resulting in a messy cable on the reel, affecting aesthetics, and potentially causing tangling and knots during subsequent unwinding, hindering the underwater robot's normal operation.

[0004] Furthermore, even if cable management and arrangement are performed simultaneously during the cable winding process, the tolerance of the cable's outer diameter can easily lead to deviations in the relative position between the cable and the cable management structure during winding. These deviations gradually increase as the winding process progresses. While this method can achieve cable management and arrangement to some extent, the longer the total length of the cable to be wound, the more likely it is to become tangled during winding. For underwater robots, which typically deploy relatively long cables for underwater exploration, this type of cable management and arrangement structure cannot adequately meet the cable winding requirements of underwater robots. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a cable management and cleaning structure and a cable winder to solve the problem in the prior art where the outer diameter of the cable has tolerances, which causes a deviation in the relative position between the cable and the cable management structure during the winding process. As the winding process progresses, the deviation value gradually increases, resulting in messy winding.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a cable management and cleaning structure, including: a bidirectional lead screw and a cable organizer, wherein the cable organizer is sleeved on the bidirectional lead screw;

[0007] The bidirectional lead screw is mounted on the main body of the winding machine.

[0008] The cable organizer includes: a lead screw slider, a cable management bracket plate, and movable plates. The lead screw slider is sleeved on a bidirectional lead screw. The cable management bracket plate is connected to the lead screw slider. The movable plates are detachably mounted on both sides of the cable management bracket plate. The cable management bracket plate and the two movable plates on both sides form an area for cables to pass through.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable plate has a C-shaped cross-section, and the two sides of the cable management bracket plate are provided with grooves corresponding to the top of the C-shaped structure of the movable plate, with the top of the C-shaped structure embedded in the grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottoms of the C-shaped structures on both sides of the movable plates are flush, and the distance between the bottoms of the C-shaped structures on both sides of the movable plates is less than the outer diameter of the cable.

[0015] The winding disc and the bidirectional lead screw are connected and driven by a transmission mechanism;

[0016] The winding spool has a cable wound on it.

[0017] Furthermore, an optical axis is provided between the two side frame columns of the main body of the machine, and the optical axis and the bidirectional lead screw are parallel to each other in the horizontal direction. The optical axis passes through the lead screw slider of the cable organizer.

[0018] Furthermore, a cleaning module is provided on the front end of the cable organizer on the main body of the machine. The cleaning module includes cleaning rollers arranged in a parallel manner. The two ends of the cleaning rollers are rotatably connected to the main body of the machine. The distance between the upper and lower cleaning rollers is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the cable.

[0019] Furthermore, the cleaning roller is coated with a silicone layer.

[0020] Furthermore, the main body of the machine is provided with a flip-top structure, which covers the bidirectional lead screw and the cable organizer. The flip-top structure is hinged to the main body of the machine on the side facing the rear end of the cable organizer. Several magnetic elements are provided on the bottom surface of the edge of the flip-top structure facing the front end of the cable organizer. The main body of the machine is provided with several adsorption elements corresponding to the magnetic elements. The magnetic attraction generated by the magnetic elements magnetically attracts the adsorption elements.

[0021] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0022] The method provided in this application uses a detachable cable organizer, which allows for quick removal of the moving plate of the cable organizer when abnormalities occur during winding. This facilitates the removal of the cable from the cable organizer, making it easier to adjust the winding state of the cable. This results in a tighter and neater winding state, improving the overall aesthetics and preventing messy cables from causing tangling and knotting during subsequent cable laying, effectively ensuring the normal working state of the underwater robot.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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, 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.

[0036] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0037] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0038] To address the technical problem in existing technologies where the tolerance of the cable's outer diameter leads to a deviation in the relative position between the cable and the cable management structure during the winding process, resulting in a gradually increasing deviation and subsequent tangled winding, this application provides a cable management and clearing structure and a cable winder. By employing a detachable cable winder, the movable plate of the winder can be quickly removed when abnormalities occur during winding, facilitating the removal of the cable from the winder. This allows for adjustment of the cable's winding state, resulting in a tighter and neater winding, improving overall aesthetics, and preventing tangled and twisted cables during subsequent unwinding.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The present application provides a cable management and cleaning structure, including: a bidirectional lead screw 2 and a cable organizer 3, wherein the cable organizer 3 is sleeved on the bidirectional lead screw 2;

[0040] The bidirectional lead screw 2 is mounted on the main body 1 of the winding machine;

[0041] The cable organizer 3 includes: a lead screw slider 31, a cable management bracket plate 32, and a movable plate 33. The lead screw slider 31 is sleeved on the bidirectional lead screw 2. The cable management bracket plate 32 is connected to the lead screw slider 31. The movable plate 33 is detachably disposed on both sides of the cable management bracket plate 32. The cable management bracket plate 32 and the two movable plates 33 on both sides form an area for the cable 4 to pass through.

[0042] During installation, cable 4 is passed through the rear end of cable organizer 3, passing through the area enclosed by cable organizer bracket 32 ​​and movable plate 33, and exiting from the front end of cable organizer 3. The front end of cable 4 is then connected to the underwater robot. When the underwater robot is working, it pulls cable 4 to move, and the cable winder releases the cable synchronously. During the cable release process, the bidirectional lead screw 2 rotates along with the cable release operation. The bidirectional lead screw 2 is provided with two sets of intersecting ball grooves 21. The lead screw slider 31 of the cable organizer 3 is provided with a set of ball bearings. During the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw, the ball bearings move along a set of ball grooves 21 in the bidirectional lead screw 2, thereby driving the cable organizer 3 to move along the bidirectional lead screw 2. This allows the cable 4 to be unwound in a manner that is flush with or at a small angle to its winding direction. This prevents the cable 4 from being pulled laterally during the unwound process due to a large angle between the cable organizer 3 and the cable 4, thus avoiding the deviation of the winding position of the cable 4 before unwound. It also reduces the force applied to the cable 4 during the unwound process, preventing the cable 4 from being subjected to large component forces for a long time, which would reduce its service life. When the cable organizer 3 moves to the end position of the bidirectional lead screw 2, the ball set of the lead screw slider 31 will enter another set of ball grooves 21 on the bidirectional lead screw, thereby driving the cable organizer 3 to move in the opposite direction, thus realizing the reversal of the cable organizer 3 and realizing the cable management work during the cable feeding process.

[0043] Similarly, during the cable winding process, the bidirectional lead screw 2 rotates along with the winding. The cable guide 3 moves along with the bidirectional lead screw 2, thereby winding the cable 4 at a position aligned with or at a small angle to the winding direction. This ensures that the cable 4 is tightly wound during winding, and as the cable guide 3 moves to its extreme positions at both ends, it continues to wind tightly in the opposite direction, resulting in a tight and neat cable 4. This prevents the cable 4 from becoming tangled or twisted during subsequent defense operations, effectively ensuring the normal working condition of the underwater robot.

[0044] In practical applications, depending on the outer diameter of the cable 4, a bidirectional lead screw 2 with a ball groove 21 of corresponding pitch is selected to meet the requirement of the cable 4 being stably and tightly wound by the cable organizer 3.

[0045] Due to the tolerance of the outer diameter of cable 4, there may be a deviation in the relative position between the lead screw slider 31 and cable 4 during the winding process, which will gradually increase as the winding work progresses. At this time, the movable plate 33 on one side of the cable organizer 3 can be removed to facilitate the removal of cable 4 from the cable organizer 3. After manually winding and adjusting cable 4, cable 4 can be inserted into the cable organizer 3, and the movable plate 33 can be closed and fixed. This allows for adjustment of the winding state of cable 4 and avoids abnormal winding of cable 4.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The movable plate 33 has a C-shaped cross-section. The two sides of the cable management bracket plate 32 have grooves corresponding to the top of the C-shaped structure of the movable plate 33, with the top of the C-shaped structure embedded in the grooves. During assembly or disassembly of the movable plate 33, it can be pulled out through the grooves, thus guiding the movable plate 33 and improving its assembly / disassembly efficiency. In some optional embodiments, the movable plate 33 is locked to the cable management bracket plate 32 with screws, thereby fixing the movable plate 33 in place. Simultaneously, the bottoms of the C-shaped structures of the two movable plates 33 can be connected and fixed with screws, improving the stability of the assembly and fixing of the two movable plates 33. When it is necessary to remove one side of the movable plate 33, the screws on the bottom of the C-shaped structure of the movable plate 33 and the screws on the cable management bracket plate 32 can be unscrewed, and the movable plate 33 can be pulled away along the groove direction, facilitating the insertion and removal of cables 4.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bottoms of the C-shaped structures of the two movable plates 33 are flush, and the distance between the bottoms of the C-shaped structures of the two movable plates 33 is less than the outer diameter of the cable 4. During the cable winding and unwinding process, the bottom of the C-shaped structure supports the cable 4 and prevents the cable 4 from falling out of the gap between the bottoms of the C-shaped structures of the two movable plates 33, thereby meeting the needs of cable winding and unwinding.

[0048] In some embodiments, the front end of the cable organizer 3 is provided with two sets of first linear bearings 34. The axes of the first linear bearings 34 are arranged vertically and symmetrically on both sides of the area enclosed by the cable organizer support plate 32 and the movable plate 33. By providing a pair of first linear bearings 34 at the front end of the cable organizer support plate 32 and the movable plate 33, and leaving a distance equal to the outer diameter of the cable 4 between the two first linear bearings 34, it is convenient to pass the cable 4 out of the cable organizer 3, while the first linear bearings 34 on both sides provide guidance for the cable 4. At the same time, because the cable organizer 3 reciprocates in the left and right direction on the bidirectional lead screw 2, after the cable 4 passes out of the cable organizer 3, since the position of the underwater robot is relatively fixed, the cable 4 will form an offset angle with the cable organizer 3 when the cable organizer 3 moves left and right, and this offset angle will continuously change. At the same time, the cable 4 will rub against the sides of the cable organizer 3. The first linear bearing 34 provides curved contact for the cable 4. At the same time, during the winding or unwinding process of the cable 4, the first linear bearing 34 will rotate accordingly with the movement of the cable 4, thereby providing effective protection for the cable 4 and avoiding damage to the protective layer on the surface of the cable 4 due to long-term friction.

[0049] In some embodiments, a second linear bearing 35 is provided at the rear end of the cable organizer 3, and the axis of the second linear bearing 35 is arranged in a horizontal direction. Generally, the cable 4 enters the machine body 1 from a direction lower or higher than the cable organizer 3. Therefore, according to the relative positional relationship between the wound cable 4 and the cable organizer 3, the second linear bearing 35 is arranged horizontally at the rear end of the cable organizer 3. If the wound cable 4 is above the cable organizer 3, the second linear bearing 35 is arranged at the rear end of the cable organizer support plate 32; if the wound cable 4 is below the cable organizer 3, the second linear bearing 35 is arranged at the bottom rear end of the C-shaped structure of the two side movable plates 33. By providing the second linear bearing 35, a curved contact is provided for the cable 4 in the direction it enters the cable organizer 3, so that during the winding or unwinding process, the second linear bearing 35 rotates accordingly with the movement of the cable 4, providing effective protection for the cable 4 and preventing damage to the protective layer on the surface of the cable 4 due to prolonged friction.

[0050] Since the underwater robot operates in aquatic environments, the protection requirements for cable 4 are relatively high. If the protective layer of cable 4 is damaged, allowing water to flow into the cable 4, it can easily lead to short circuits and other problems, and may even cause damage to the underwater robot or loss of control. Therefore, by setting the first linear bearing 34 and the second linear bearing 35, effective protection is provided for cable 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the protective layer on the surface of cable 4 and improving the safety of the overall system.

[0051] Secondly, please refer to Figure 2 This application provides a winding device, including the winding and cleaning structure as described above, including: a machine body 1 and a winding reel 6;

[0052] The winding disc 6 is rotatably disposed between the two side frame columns of the machine body 1, and the bidirectional lead screw 2 is rotatably disposed between the two side frame columns of the machine body 1 and is parallel to the rotation axis of the winding disc 6 in space.

[0053] The winding disc 6 and the bidirectional lead screw 2 are connected and driven by a transmission mechanism.

[0054] Cable 4 is wound on the winding reel 6. After extending from the winding reel 6, cable 4 passes through the area enclosed by the cable management support plate 32 and the two movable plates 33 on both sides and connects to the underwater robot. When the underwater robot moves in the water, it pulls the cable 4, causing the winding reel 6 to rotate passively, thereby achieving the effect of releasing the cable.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, a pulley drive mechanism is provided on one side of the winding reel 6, which is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 2. Simultaneously, a power mechanism is connected to the central shaft of the winding reel 6. During the winding or unwinding process, the winding reel 6 rotates, thereby transmitting the kinetic energy generated by the rotation of the winding reel 6 to the bidirectional lead screw 2 via the pulley drive mechanism, causing the bidirectional lead screw 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 2, the ball bearing assembly in the lead screw slider 31 moves along a set of ball bearing grooves 21 on the bidirectional lead screw 2, thereby driving the cable guide 3 to move along the bidirectional lead screw 2. This unwinds the cable 4 at a position flush with or at a small angle to its winding direction, preventing lateral pulling force on the wound cable 4 due to a large angle between the cable guide 3 and the cable 4 during unwinding. This avoids the cable 4's winding position shifting and also reduces the force applied to the cable 4 during unwinding, preventing a reduction in its service life due to prolonged exposure to large pulling forces. When the cable organizer 3 moves to the end position of the bidirectional lead screw 2, the ball set of the lead screw slider 31 will enter another set of ball grooves 21 on the bidirectional lead screw, thereby driving the cable organizer 3 to move in the opposite direction, thus realizing the reversal of the cable organizer 3 and realizing the cable management work during the cable feeding process.

[0056] Similarly, during the winding process, the power mechanism drives the winding reel 6 to rotate, causing the bidirectional lead screw 2 to rotate under the transmission of the pulley mechanism. As the bidirectional lead screw 2 rotates, the ball bearings in the lead screw slider 31 move along a set of ball bearing grooves 21 on the bidirectional lead screw 2, thereby driving the cable organizer 3 to move along the bidirectional lead screw 2. By moving along the bidirectional lead screw 2, the cable 4 is wound up at a position flush with or at a small angle to its winding direction, ensuring that the cable 4 is tightly wound onto the winding reel 6 during winding, guaranteeing that the cable 4 wound on the winding reel 6 is neat and orderly, meeting the requirements for cable winding and storage. When the cable handler 3 moves to the extreme positions at both ends, the ball bearing assembly of the lead screw slider 31 will enter another set of ball bearing grooves 21 on the bidirectional lead screw, thereby driving the cable handler 3 to continue to perform tight winding work in the opposite direction, so that the wound cable 4 is tight and neat, avoiding the cable 4 from being tangled or twisted in subsequent defense work, effectively ensuring the normal working state of the underwater robot.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the power mechanism uses a handle. By turning the handle, the cable 4 can be wound up onto the winding reel 6. At the same time, the cable organizer 3 straightens the cable, ensuring that the cable 4 is tightly and neatly wound onto the winding reel 6, improving the overall aesthetics and safety.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 An optical axis 5 is provided between the two frame columns of the main body 1 of the machine. The optical axis 5 is parallel to the bidirectional lead screw 2 in the horizontal direction and passes through the lead screw slider 31 of the cable organizer 3. By providing an optical axis 5 parallel to the bidirectional lead screw 2 on the side and passing the optical axis 5 through the lead screw slider 31 of the cable organizer 3, the lead screw slider 31 will not rotate with the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 2, thus ensuring that the cable organizer 3 can stably move back and forth under the drive of the bidirectional lead screw 2. At the same time, during the translation of the lead screw slider 31, the optical axis can act as a guide, effectively ensuring the stability of the cable organizer 3 as it moves with the rotation of the lead screw.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2A cable cleaning module 7 is provided on the main body 1 of the machine corresponding to the front end of the cable organizer 3. The cable cleaning module 7 includes cleaning rollers 71 arranged in a parallel manner. The two ends of the cleaning rollers 71 are rotatably connected to the main body 1 of the machine, and the distance between the upper and lower sets of cleaning rollers 71 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the cable 4. Since underwater robots are used for exploration and other work in water areas, their working environment is prone to contain debris such as aquatic plants and silt. Therefore, during the movement of the underwater robot, the cable 4 connected to the underwater robot is prone to adhering to aquatic plants, silt, or other impurities floating in the water. If the cable 4 is not cleaned properly during cable winding, the above-mentioned impurities will be rolled into the inside of the equipment, causing the cable 4 to be uneven and loose in the winding state, thus affecting the overall aesthetics. At the same time, the rolled-in impurities may also interfere with other circuit modules in the winding device. Therefore, the outer surface of the cable 4 needs to be cleaned during the cable winding process. In the embodiments provided in this application, cleaning rollers 71 are arranged in parallel, and the distance between the cleaning rollers 71 is equal to or slightly less than the outer diameter of the cable 4. In this way, during the cable winding process, the cleaning rollers 71 remove dirt and impurities from the surface of the cable 4, leaving the dirt and impurities on the cleaning rollers 71 and ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the cable 4.

[0060] In some embodiments, the cleaning roller 71 is coated with a silicone layer. The silicone layer prevents damage to the surface protective layer of the cable 4 during cleaning. Simultaneously, silicone has excellent adsorption capacity for fine particles and dust, thereby improving the thoroughness of cleaning. Furthermore, it possesses good hydrophilicity and a certain degree of oil adsorption, effectively absorbing moisture and oil, making the cleaning process more efficient. Moreover, silicone itself is easy to clean. After cleaning, dirt and impurities originally adhering to the cable 4 are easily transferred and adhered to the cleaning roller 71. By providing the silicone layer, dirt and impurities on the silicone layer can be easily wiped away directly, helping to maintain the good condition of the cleaning roller 71 and ensuring the continuity of the cleaning effect.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7The machine body 1 is equipped with a flip-top structure 11, which covers the bidirectional lead screw 2 and the cable organizer 3. The flip-top structure 11 is hinged to the machine body 1 on the side facing the rear end of the cable organizer 3. Several magnetic elements 12 are provided on the bottom surface of the edge of the flip-top structure 11 facing the front end of the cable organizer 3. Several adsorption elements 13 are provided on the machine body 1 corresponding to the magnetic elements 12. The magnetism generated by the magnetic elements 12 magnetically attracts the adsorption elements 13. By setting the flip-top structure 11, effective protection can be provided for the bidirectional lead screw 2, cable organizer 3, etc. during operation, preventing foreign objects from entering and affecting the normal winding or unwinding of the cable, thus improving the overall stability and safety of the operation. At the same time, if the relative positional relationship between the cable 4 and the cable organizer 3 shifts during winding due to deviations in the outer diameter of the cable 4, the flip-top structure 11 can be opened to separate the magnetic elements 12 and the adsorption elements 13, thereby facilitating the correction of the situation. In the embodiments provided in this application, a magnet is used as the magnetic attraction element 12, and several carbon steel screws are set at corresponding positions on the main body 1 of the machine tool corresponding to the magnetic attraction element 12. When the flip cover structure 11 is closed, the magnetic attraction element 12 can magnetically attract the adsorption element 13, that is, the carbon steel screws are magnetically attracted by the magnet, thereby preventing the flip cover structure 11 from being accidentally opened during use and ensuring safety. At the same time, when it is necessary to open the flip cover structure 11, the side of the flip cover structure 11 away from the hinge position can be flipped upwards, so that the magnetic attraction element 12 and the adsorption element 13 are separated, thereby realizing the opening of the flip cover structure 11.

[0062] The method provided in this application embodiment satisfies the requirement of using a detachable cable organizer, which facilitates the quick removal of the movable plate of the cable organizer when abnormalities occur during winding. This allows for easy removal of the cable from the cable organizer, making it convenient to adjust the winding state of the cable. This results in a tighter and neater winding state, improving the overall aesthetics and preventing messy cables from causing tangling and knotting during subsequent cable laying, effectively ensuring the normal working state of the underwater robot.
