Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable accessory equipment, and in particular to a semi-automatic gate cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most epoxy resin products in cable accessories are processed by manually cutting off the gate. From the perspective of quality and efficiency, this method has many limitations.

[0003] In terms of quality, manual gate removal often struggles to guarantee consistent precision. Differences in operator skill level, physical condition, and emotional state can lead to variations in the force, angle, and speed applied during gate removal, resulting in inconsistent surface quality of the finished product. Some removals may be too rough, leaving obvious marks or imperfections that affect the product's aesthetics and performance; others may be incomplete, leaving residual gate material, which not only wastes material but could also pose safety hazards during use.

[0004] In terms of efficiency, manual gate removal is clearly insufficient for large-scale production. With the expanding cable accessory market and increasingly fierce competition, production efficiency and cost control have become key concerns for businesses. Manual gate removal is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to establish a stable production rhythm, severely restricting the overall efficiency of the production line. Furthermore, manual operation requires a significant amount of human resources, increasing labor costs and management complexity for businesses. Utility Model Content

[0023] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a semi-automatic gate cutting device, which includes a frame 100, a mounting base 200, a drive device 300, and a cutting device 400.

[0025] In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes a main rectangular frame 110 and side rectangular frames 120 formed by splicing multiple profiles. The height of the side rectangular frames 120 is lower than the height of the main rectangular frame 110. Since the workpiece 10 is generally a cable accessory, and cable accessories are generally large in size, manual handling is difficult and poses safety risks. Therefore, a hoisting method is generally used to transfer the cable accessories. To reduce hoisting difficulty and risks, hoisting and transfer are usually carried out in the lower side rectangular frames 120, making the hoisting and transfer of cable accessories more convenient. After the workpiece 10 is hoisted into the side rectangular frames 120, it can be automatically moved into the main rectangular frame 110, or it can be manually moved into the main rectangular frame 110. Alternatively, the side rectangular frames 120 can be omitted, and the cable accessories can be directly hoisted into the main rectangular frame 110.

[0026] Mounting base 200 is located on frame 100 and is used to mount workpiece 10. The gate of workpiece 10 is away from mounting base 200. Cable accessories after hoisting are installed on mounting base 200 and can move between main rectangular frame 110 and side rectangular frame 120 via mounting base 200. When side rectangular frame 120 is not provided, mounting base 200 is fixed inside main rectangular frame 110.

[0027] The drive unit 300 is mounted on the frame 100 and has a drive section 310 that can move closer to or further away from the mounting base 200. The drive unit 300 is connected to the frame 100 and the drive section 310 can move relative to the frame 100 to approach the cable accessories on the mounting base 200 for cutting by the cutting device 400, or to move away from the cable accessories on the mounting base 200 for easy removal of the cable accessories from the mounting base 200.

[0028] A cutting device 400 is disposed on the drive unit 310. The cutting device 400 has a cutting section 410 for cutting the gate of the workpiece 10. The cutting device 400 is configured such that, driven by the drive unit 310, the cutting section 410 moves to the location of the gate of the workpiece 10 on the mounting base 200 and cuts off the gate. It should be noted that a portion of the cable accessory's structure is injection molded. After injection molding, one end of the cylindrical cable accessory has a gate, which needs to be cut off to ensure the integrity of the cable accessory's surface and facilitate subsequent installation.

[0029] It is understandable that after the workpiece 10 is placed on the mounting base 200, the drive device 300 moves the drive unit 310 downward until the cutting unit 410 of the cutting device 400 moves to abut against the gate at the top of the workpiece 10. When the cutting unit 410 abuts against the gate at the top of the workpiece 10, the cutting unit 410 cuts the gate until the gate is completely removed, realizing the automated removal of the gate of the workpiece 10 without manual cutting. The consistency of the products cut by mechanical automation is higher, thus resulting in higher product quality.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the semi-automatic gate cutting device further includes a clamping device 500, which is disposed on the mounting base 200. The clamping device 500 includes a plurality of clamping parts 510 distributed circumferentially along the mounting base 200. All clamping parts 510 are used to clamp the workpiece 10 on the mounting base 200.

[0031] In this embodiment, the number of clamping parts 510 is two or more. The cable accessory is generally in the shape of a hollow cylinder. The clamping parts 510 can be located in the hollow part of the cable accessory, with multiple clamping parts 510 expanding outward to clamp the inner circumferential surface of the cable accessory and thus fix the cable accessory; or, the clamping part 510 includes an inner clamping block and an outer clamping block, with the inner clamping block and the outer clamping block clamping along the wall thickness direction of the cable accessory; or, the clamping part 510 is located on the outer circumferential surface of the cable accessory, with multiple clamping parts 510 contracting inward to clamp the outer circumferential surface of the cable accessory and thus fix the cable accessory.

[0032] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the clamping device 500 includes a three-jaw chuck, which refers to three clamping parts 510, and the three clamping parts 510 can synchronously contract or expand to clamp the cable accessories.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the semi-automatic gate cutting device further includes a translation device 600 disposed between the frame 100 and the mounting base 200. The frame 100 has a cutting position 111 and a placement position 121. The placement position 121 is used to install the workpiece 10, and the cutting position 111 is used to cut the workpiece 10. The translation device 600 has a movable translation platform 610. The mounting base 200 is disposed on the translation platform 610. The translation platform 610 can drive the mounting base 200 to move to the cutting position 111 or the placement position 121.

[0034] In this embodiment, the automatic transfer of cable accessories is achieved through the translation device 600, enabling the cable accessories to move from the side rectangular frame 120 to the main rectangular frame 110, making subsequent gate cutting of the cable accessories more convenient. The cutting position 111 is located within the main rectangular frame 110, and the placement position 121 is located within the side rectangular frame 120.

When the drive source drives the transmission screw to rotate, the transmission slider moves linearly along the axial direction of the transmission screw.

[0038] In this embodiment, a translation drive source drives the transmission screw to rotate, causing the transmission slider to move along the axial direction of the transmission screw. The transmission slider then drives the translation platform 610 to move along the translation track 620. The transmission screw and the translation track 620 are arranged in the same direction, ensuring that the movement direction of the transmission slider is substantially the same as the movement direction of the translation platform 610. The transmission slider and the translation platform 610 can move linearly in the same direction. The transmission slider and the transmission screw constitute a screw-slider structure.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the cutting device 400 includes a cutting drive source 420 and a cutting fixing part 430.
