Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bending equipment, specifically an automatic bending device for anti-slip figure-eight clips of drop-type probe cables. Background Technology

[0002] In the installation and maintenance of drop-type probe cables, anti-slip figure-eight clamps are crucial components for ensuring cable stability. Traditional anti-slip figure-eight clamp manufacturing relies heavily on manual bending, which is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming but also lacks consistent bending accuracy. With the accelerating pace of industrial automation, the demand for efficient and precise anti-slip figure-eight clamp bending is increasingly urgent. Against this backdrop, an automatic anti-slip figure-eight clamp bending device for drop-type probe cables has emerged, providing the industry with a brand-new solution.

[0003] Meanwhile, the patent specification with application number CN210936870U discloses an automatic cable bending fixture, "including a base, a fixed plate, a sliding plate, a pushing mechanism, a bending mechanism, and a controller; the fixed plate is fixed on the base and has a semi-circular first groove; the sliding plate is slidably disposed on the base and has a semi-circular second groove; the second groove can cooperate with the first groove to form a clamping hole when the sliding plate contacts the fixed plate; the pushing mechanism is fixed on the base and has a pushing end point; the pushing end point is connected to the sliding plate; the bending mechanism is fixed on the fixed plate and has a lever and a stop surface; when the lever pushes the cable to contact the stop surface, the cable is bent; and a controller electrically connects to and controls the pushing mechanism and the bending mechanism."

[0004] Existing manual bending tools and lever-type bending devices require manual placement and fixing of each wire at the bending position, resulting in low positioning accuracy and poor consistency. This leads to large deviations in the size of the figure-eight clips, affecting their compatibility with cables. Furthermore, the formed figure-eight clips need to be removed manually after bending, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, severely restricting production efficiency and failing to meet the needs of mass production.

[0005] Therefore, an automatic bending device for anti-slip figure-eight clips on drop-type probe cables is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides an automatic bending device for anti-slip figure-eight clips of drop-type probe cables. This device achieves automatic and precise positioning of the wire under the weight of the falling wire and the limiting action of the bushing. Combined with the rotation of the rotating shaft and bending pin driven by the drive motor, it completes the automatic bending of the figure-eight clip, replacing manual positioning and bending operations. This improves product forming accuracy and consistency, significantly enhances production continuity and efficiency, and reduces labor costs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic bending device for anti-slip figure-eight clips of drop-type probe cables, comprising a mounting plate, a material conveying device above the mounting plate, a positioning support plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting plate, a drive motor fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate, the output end of the drive motor passing through the mounting plate and fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, two bent pins fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft, the outer surfaces of the two bent pins being close to each other and sharing a common wire, the wire abutting against the top end of the positioning support plate, two inlet / outlet cylinders fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate, the output ends of the two inlet / outlet cylinders passing through the mounting plate and fixedly connected to a positioning bushing, and two closing cylinders fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate, the output ends of the two closing cylinders being fixedly connected to closing pressure blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the two bent pins are mirror images of each other with the axis of rotation as the axis of symmetry, and the distance between the outer edges of the two bent pins is equal to the outer diameter of the axis of rotation.

[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the positioning bushing is U-shaped, and the U-shaped surface of the positioning bushing is coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the closing pressure block is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the diameter of the iron wire.

[0011] Preferably, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning tray, and a material collection box is slidably connected to one end of the positioning tray.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the material collection box is fixedly connected to two limiting blocks, and one end of the positioning tray is provided with a limiting groove for use with the two limiting blocks. The cross-section of the limiting blocks and the limiting groove are both "convex".

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model achieves automatic and precise positioning of the wire by setting a U-shaped positioning bushing and positioning plate in cooperation. Under the action of the wire falling under gravity and the bushing limiting the position, the wire is automatically and accurately positioned. In conjunction with the drive motor driving the rotation of the rotating shaft and the bending pin, the figure-eight clip is automatically bent, replacing manual positioning and bending operations, and improving the product forming accuracy and consistency.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses an inlet and outlet cylinder to drive the positioning bushing to move forward and backward. Under the pushing action of the bushing, the formed figure-eight clip is pushed away from the bent pin and falls into the material collection box, realizing automatic material feeding, eliminating the manual material handling step, greatly improving production continuity and efficiency, and reducing labor costs.

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides an automatic bending device for anti-slip figure-eight clips of drop-type probe cables, including a mounting plate 1. A material conveying device is provided above the mounting plate 1. A positioning support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting plate 1. A drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate 1. The output end of the drive motor 21 passes through the mounting plate 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 2. Two bent pins 5 are fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 2. The outer surfaces of the two bent pins 5, which are close to each other, are provided with iron wires 3. The iron wires 3 abut against the top end of the positioning support plate 8. Two inlet and outlet cylinders 71 are fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate 1. The output ends of the two inlet and outlet cylinders 71 pass through the mounting plate 1 and are fixedly connected to a positioning bushing 7. Two closing cylinders 4 are fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate 1. The output ends of the two closing cylinders 4 are fixedly connected to closing pressure blocks 6. By integrating material conveying, driving, bending, positioning and closing structures, a complete automated processing flow is formed, replacing manual operation, reducing labor input while improving processing continuity, and meeting the needs of mass production.

[0028] Specifically, the two bent pins 5 are mirror-distributed with the axis of rotation 2 as the axis of symmetry, and the distance between the outer edges of the two bent pins 5 is equal to the outer diameter of the rotation axis 2, ensuring that the wire 3 is subjected to symmetrical force on both sides when it is bent, the formed figure-eight clip structure is balanced, and it is in close contact with the cable, effectively dispersing the force on the cable and preventing the wire core from being pulled apart due to excessive local force.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the outer surface of the positioning bushing 7 is U-shaped, and the U-shaped surface of the positioning bushing 7 is coated with a wear-resistant coating 72. The U-shaped structure effectively wraps and positions the falling wire 3, preventing the wire 3 from shifting before bending. The wear-resistant coating 72 reduces the frictional wear between the wire 3 and the bushing, extends the service life of the bushing, and ensures long-term positioning accuracy.

[0030] Furthermore, the outer surface of the closing pressure block 6 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 61 that matches the diameter of the wire 3. The arc-shaped groove 61 fits completely with the surface of the wire 3, preventing the wire 3 from being deformed by local pressure during closing, ensuring that the closing size of the figure-eight clip is consistent, improving the compatibility with the cable, and enhancing the anti-slip effect.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an anti-slip pad 81 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning tray 8, and a material collection box 9 is slidably connected to one end of the positioning tray 8. The anti-slip pad 81 increases the friction between the wire 3 and the tray, preventing the wire 3 from sliding during bending and causing forming errors. The material collection box 9 automatically receives the formed figure-eight card, avoiding manual material handling and production interruption, and improving process continuity.

[0032] It is worth noting that two limiting blocks 83 are fixedly connected to one end of the material collection box 9, and a limiting groove 82 is opened at one end of the positioning tray 8 to cooperate with the two limiting blocks 83. The cross-section of the limiting block 83 and the limiting groove 82 are both "convex", which facilitates the quick disassembly and emptying of the collection box and reduces downtime maintenance time.

[0033] The drive motor 21, the closing cylinder 4, and the inlet / outlet cylinder 71 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switches, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The wiring diagram of the motor in this utility model is common knowledge in the field, and its working principle is already known technology. The appropriate model is selected based on actual use; therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the motor will not be explained in detail.

[0034] Working principle and process: The material conveying device lowers the wires 3 one by one. The wires 3 are guided by the "U"-shaped groove of the positioning bushing 7 and fall onto the positioning support plate 8 and contact the bending pin 5. The drive motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 2 and the bending pin 5 to rotate, and cooperates with the positioning bushing 7 to complete the figure-eight bend of the wires 3. After bending, the closing cylinder 4 pushes the closing pressure block 6 with the arc groove 61 to close the wires 3 into shape. Finally, the inlet and outlet cylinder 71 drives the positioning bushing 7 to push the formed figure-eight clip to the material collection box 9. The limiting block 83 and the limiting groove 82 facilitate the removal of the material collection box 9, completing the processing cycle.
