Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire and cable length measurement technology, and in particular to a wire and cable length measurement device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production, processing, construction, and quality inspection of wires and cables, accurate measurement of their length is crucial for ensuring product quality, fair trade, and accurate engineering construction. A wire and cable length measuring device, as the core equipment for achieving this function, directly affects the reliability of the measurement results. With the rapid development of the wire and cable industry, the market is placing increasingly higher demands on the accuracy, stability, and adaptability of measuring devices, driving continuous technological innovation.

[0003] In existing technologies, cable length measuring devices typically use a frame as a support base, equipped with a conveying mechanism for transporting the cable and a measuring mechanism for measuring its length. The conveying mechanism usually employs a single conveyor wheel or belt, driven by a motor to rotate, using friction to move the cable forward. The measuring mechanism mainly relies on a measuring wheel in contact with the cable. As the cable moves, it drives the measuring wheel to rotate, and this rotation is transmitted to an encoder via gears or belts. The encoder converts the mechanical rotation into an electrical signal, which is then displayed on an instrument to indicate the cable length. To prevent positional deviations during cable transport, some devices incorporate fixed guide plates or guide wheels on both sides of the transport path for limiting movement.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, the friction between the conveying wheel and the cable is unstable, easily leading to cable slippage. Furthermore, the guide structures on both sides are mostly fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the cable diameter, causing lateral deviation of the cable during transmission. These problems prevent the cable from accurately passing through the measuring wheel, resulting in a mismatch between the rotation of the measuring wheel and the actual distance the cable travels. Ultimately, this leads to inaccurate length measurement results, failing to meet the requirements of high-precision measurement. Therefore, a wire and cable length measuring device is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0041] Example 2: A wire and cable length measuring device, referring to... Figures 6-7 The fixing components include a sliding block 21 and a locking block 22. The side wall of the sliding block 21 is slidably connected to the inside of the measuring wheel 4. The sliding block 21 is used to drive the locking block 22 to move, so as to achieve the engagement or disengagement of the locking block 22 with the silicone wheel sleeve 17. The side wall of the locking block 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding block 21 and slidably connected to the inside of the silicone wheel sleeve 17. The locking block 22 is used to embed into the silicone wheel sleeve 17, fixing the silicone wheel sleeve 17 to the measuring wheel 4 and preventing the silicone wheel sleeve 17 from falling off. A positioning block 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the measuring wheel 4, and the side wall of the positioning block 19 is slidably connected to the silicone wheel sleeve 17. Inside the wheel sleeve 17, the positioning block 19 is used to initially position the silicone wheel sleeve 17 to ensure the accurate installation position of the silicone wheel sleeve 17 and the measuring wheel 4.

One end of the spring 24 is fixedly connected to the inside of the measuring wheel 4, and the other end of the spring 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating block 23. The spring 24, together with the sliding block 21 and the locking block 22, performs elastic extension and retraction movement, so that the locking block 22 always keeps the silicone wheel sleeve 17 in a locked state.

[0042] A lever 25 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding block 21. The lever 25 is used to drive the sliding block 21 to slide, which facilitates the operation of the sliding block 21. A retaining sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the measuring wheel 4. The retaining sleeve 20 is used to lock the position of the sliding block 21 by engaging with the lever 25 when the sliding block 21 is pushed to slide. The retaining sleeve 20 and the lever 25 engage to fix the position of the sliding block 21 when the silicone wheel sleeve 17 is replaced, which facilitates the operation. The combination of components such as the sliding block 21, retaining block 22, positioning block 19, spring 24, lever 25, and retaining sleeve 20 realizes the quick disassembly and assembly and stable connection between the silicone wheel sleeve 17 and the measuring wheel 4. This not only ensures the stability of the silicone wheel sleeve 17 during the measurement process, but also improves the convenience of replacing the silicone wheel sleeve 17.

[0043] Working principle: When using this equipment, firstly, the wires and cables to be measured are introduced into the device. Motor 7 drives the conveyor wheel 3 to rotate through the reducer. The conveyor wheel 3, as the main power component, drives the cable to move along the preset path. At the same time, the cylinder 8 on the side wall of the side plate 2 pushes the fixing frame 9, so that the silicone pressure roller 10 inside the fixing frame 9 presses the cable at an angle of 45° with the axis of the conveyor wheel 3. The elasticity and friction of the silicone ensure that the cable is in close contact with the conveyor wheel 3, avoiding slippage and providing a guarantee for stable transmission.

[0044] During cable transmission, motor 14 starts, and the gear 15 at its output end meshes with the rack 16 on the side wall of the connecting frame 13, causing the connecting frame 13 to slide inside the base plate 1, thereby causing the positioning roller 12 in the fixed sleeve 11 to move synchronously. By adjusting the position of the positioning roller 12, it can be limited from both sides of the cable to prevent the cable from shifting laterally during transmission and ensure that the cable can pass through the meter counting wheel 4 accurately.

[0045] The measuring wheel 4 is the core component for measuring length. Its silicone wheel sleeve 17 is in direct contact with the cable. When the cable moves, it will drive the measuring wheel 4 and the rotating shaft 26 to rotate together. The rotating shaft 26 transmits the rotation to the encoder 6 through a coupling. The encoder 6 converts the mechanical rotation into an electrical signal and transmits it to the digital display 5. The digital display 5 processes the signal and displays the cable length in real time. In addition, the position of the rotating shaft 26 and the measuring wheel 4 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 28, so that the adjusting block 27 can slide inside the side plate 2, thereby ensuring that the measuring wheel 4 maintains good contact with the cable.

[0046] For the silicone wheel sleeve 17, a fixed component is used to achieve a stable connection with the measuring wheel 4 and facilitate easy replacement. During installation, the positioning block 19 is inserted into the silicone wheel sleeve 17 for initial positioning. Under the elastic force of the spring 24, the sliding block 21 drives the locking block 22 to engage with the silicone wheel sleeve 17, thus completing the fixation. During replacement, the lever 25 is moved to make the sliding block 21 slide, and the locking block 22 disengages from the silicone wheel sleeve 17. At this time, the lever 25 engages with the locking sleeve 20 to lock the position, making it easy to remove the old wheel sleeve and install the new wheel sleeve. After replacement, the reverse operation can restore the fixation. At the same time, the pressure plate 18 is attached to the side wall of the measuring wheel 4, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the measuring wheel 4 and the rotating shaft 26 and ensuring measurement accuracy.
