Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of cable manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a real-time tension monitoring device for a unit cable-forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, unitized cabling machines play a crucial role in cable manufacturing, used to twist multiple wire cores together to form a cable core, thereby producing the final cable product. During this process, precise tension control has a decisive impact on cable quality, affecting its mechanical properties, electrical properties, and appearance, among other aspects. However, existing unitized cabling machines often suffer from deficiencies in tension monitoring and control.

[0003] Currently, some unit cabling machines rely primarily on manual experience for rough estimation and adjustment of tension. This method is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human error, resulting in poor tension control accuracy. Even some cabling machines equipped with tension monitoring devices have numerous limitations. Existing tension monitoring equipment has a complex structure, making it prone to interference from various complex structures during monitoring. This results in poor monitoring stability, making it difficult to meet the demands of mass production. Sudden tension changes during monitoring intervals cannot be detected and addressed in time, affecting cable quality and potentially causing cable breakage, disrupting production, reducing efficiency, increasing production costs, and posing safety hazards.

[0004] In addition, the existing tension monitoring system has poor coordination with the control system of the cable-making machine. Even if tension deviation is detected, it is impossible to quickly and accurately adjust the traction and wire-laying devices of the cable-making machine, resulting in lag in tension control, which further affects the manufacturing quality of the cable.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy, real-time performance, and reliability of tension control in unit cabling machines, enhance the quality and efficiency of cable manufacturing, and reduce production costs and safety hazards, there is an urgent need to improve and innovate the tension monitoring equipment of unit cabling machines and develop a new type of equipment that can monitor and control tension in real time and accurately to meet the growing demand for high-quality production in the wire and cable manufacturing industry.

[0012] In some feasible embodiments, the tension sensing wheel includes a wheel body and a tension sensor disposed on the wheel body, the tension sensor being used to sense the tension value of the cable.

[0013] In some feasible embodiments, an alarm mechanism connected to the tension sensing wheel is also included. When the cable tension value sensed by the tension sensing wheel exceeds a preset range, the alarm mechanism is activated and emits an audible and visual signal.

[0014] In some feasible embodiments, the alarm mechanism includes a bracket disposed on the top of the base, warning light posts spaced apart along the length of the bracket, and a buzzer disposed on the warning light posts.
