Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of optical cable manufacturing equipment, and more precisely to a cleaning device for the rolls of a corrugating machine used in optical cable production. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of optical communication technology, the demand for optical cables is also constantly growing. Reducing the production cost and increasing the first-pass yield of optical cables are important research directions in this field. Existing optical cables generally consist of a cable core, a metal longitudinal cladding, and an outer sheath. The metal longitudinal cladding is typically formed by longitudinally wrapping metal strips such as steel or aluminum strips, serving to protect the cable core. To further improve the compressive strength and bending performance of the optical cable, textures are rolled onto the surface of the steel or aluminum strips; this process is completed by a corrugating machine. Therefore, the quality of the corrugating is one of the main factors affecting the quality of the longitudinal cladding.

[0003] During continuous operation, the rollers of a embossing machine constantly generate heat and absorb metal powder and dust. This metal powder, dust, and oil accumulate on the rollers. Because of the spring structure on the rollers, this accumulation can cause the upper roller to tilt to one side, leading to misalignment of the metal strip. This results in insufficient embossing depth, or even edge rolling or strip breakage, affecting the first-pass yield of optical cable products and increasing production costs. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the rollers of the embossing machine regularly to ensure the embossing depth is within the specified range of production standards and to prevent edge rolling or strip breakage.

[0004] Existing roll cleaning methods mainly employ mechanical cleaning techniques, such as using high-pressure air guns or vacuum cleaners. These methods use compressed air or industrial vacuum cleaners to remove metal powder from the roll surface and crevices, resulting in faster cleaning speeds. However, they are difficult to clean some stubborn residues and fine particles in the roll grooves. For stubborn residues in the roll grooves, wire brushes or scrapers can be used for manual cleaning, which provides better cleaning results, but is slower and can easily damage the roll surface.

[0005] In summary, there is a need in the art for a roll cleaning device that provides better cleaning results, is faster, and does not damage the rolls. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for the rolls of a corrugating machine used in optical cable production. The cleaning device drives the cleaning brush to move back and forth on the rolls for cleaning, resulting in better cleaning effect, faster speed, and no damage to the rolls.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cleaning device for the rolls of a corrugating machine used in optical cable production, including a support assembly and a base mounted on the support assembly. A sliding block is mounted on the base, and a cleaning brush that contacts the roll is mounted on the sliding block. A drive assembly that is pulsatorically connected to the sliding block is also mounted on the support assembly. The sliding block is driven by the drive assembly to slide relative to the base, thereby moving the cleaning brush relative to the roll for cleaning.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses a cleaning device for the rolls of a corrugating machine used in optical cable production. The device includes a support assembly and a base 2 mounted on the support assembly. A slider 3 is slidably mounted on the base 2, and a cleaning brush 6, which contacts the roll 100, is mounted on the slider 3. A drive assembly, which is connected to the slider 3, is also mounted on the support assembly. The slider 3 is driven by the drive assembly to slide relative to the base 2, thereby moving the cleaning brush 6 relative to the roll 100 and achieving the function of cleaning the roll 100. The controlled reciprocating motion of the cleaning brush 6 results in finer bristles, better cleaning effect, and higher cleaning efficiency.

[0024] The cleaning brush 6 can be a nylon cleaning brush or a roller brush, preferably a nylon cleaning brush, so as not to damage the surface of the roller 100 during the cleaning process. Furthermore, the end of the cleaning brush 6 has an arc-shaped recess that fits into the surface of the roller 100, resulting in better cleaning effect and higher efficiency.

[0025] The support assembly includes a support 10 and a platform 11 mounted on the support 10. The base 2 and the drive assembly are both mounted on the top of the platform 11. The platform 11 is slidably mounted on the support 10 and is locked to the support 10 by adjusting screws 101. By changing the height of the platform 11, it can accommodate rollers 100 of different heights, thus broadening its applicability.

[0026] A collection tray 12 is installed on the side of the countertop 1. The collection tray 12 is located at the bottom of the cleaning brush 6 and is used to collect debris particles generated during cleaning. The collection tray 12 can be removed for emptying and cleaning. Preferably, the collection tray 12 is magnetically connected to the countertop 1, making the disassembly and assembly operations more convenient and quick.

[0027] A guide rail 21 is installed on the base 2. Both ends of the guide rail 21 are fixedly connected to the base 2 by nuts. The slider 3 is slidably installed on the guide rail 21 and slides along the axis of the guide rail 21.

[0028] The drive assembly includes a motor 4, a crank 51, and a connecting rod 52. The motor 4 is mounted on the platform 1. The middle part of the crank 51 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 4. One end of the connecting rod 52 is rotatably connected to the top edge of the crank 51 via a pin 521, and the other end of the connecting rod 52 is rotatably connected to the slider 3 via a pin 522. When the motor 4 operates, it drives the crank 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 52 to move, thus driving the slider 3 to slide on the base 2.

[0029] See Figure 3 The cleaning brush 6 and the slider 3 are connected by several snap-fit ​​components, facilitating easy insertion, removal, replacement, and cleaning of the cleaning brush 6. Specifically, the cleaning brush 6 has several symmetrically distributed slots 62, and the slider 3 has several snap-fits 32 corresponding to the slots 62. When the snap-fits 32 are inserted into the slots 62, the cleaning brush 6 and the slider 3 are connected together. Furthermore, the cleaning brush 6 has a central positioning hole 61 in its center, and the slider 3 has a central positioning post 31 in the center of the side that mates with the cleaning brush 6. By setting the central positioning post 31 and the central positioning hole 61, alignment during installation can be facilitated, improving the ease of installation.
