Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of optical cable processing equipment, specifically to an optical cable winding and guiding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Optical cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, or environmental performance specifications. They are communication cable assemblies that use one or more optical fibers placed in a protective sheath as the transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups. Optical cables are mainly composed of optical fibers, plastic protective sheaths, and plastic outer sheaths.

[0003] In the prior art, because the guide wheel is located close to the winding roller, when the guide wheel moves from one end to the other, the outer shell or bracket on one side of the guide wheel will prevent the guide wheel from moving to the end of the winding roller, resulting in insufficient winding width and inability to ensure that the wire can be laid to fill the entire width of the winding roller, resulting in uneven winding.

[0015] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: the optical cable winding and guiding mechanism includes a gantry frame 1 and a transmission assembly. A movable block 4 is horizontally slidably connected to the gantry frame 1, and a connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the movable block 4. A guide member is provided on one side of the connecting rod 11. During the horizontal movement of the movable block 4, the connecting rod 11 is driven to rotate 180 degrees by the transmission assembly. Specifically, a bracket 2 is provided on the gantry frame 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 3 is horizontally provided on the bracket 2. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 4. Each guide member includes two guide wheels 19, which are symmetrically arranged on one side of the connecting rod 11. The optical cable passes through the positioning tube 10, the wire hole 9, and the gap between the two guide wheels 19 in sequence. Preferably, multiple guide members can be arranged linearly along the length direction of the connecting rod 11.

[0017] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a first gear 8 and a second gear 7 meshing with the first gear 8. A positioning tube 10 is rotatably connected inside the moving block 4. One end of the positioning tube 10 is coaxially and fixedly connected to one end of the second gear 7. A connecting plate 6 is provided between the other end of the second gear 7 and one end of the connecting rod 11. A motor 5 is provided on the moving block 4. The output end of the motor 5 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first gear 8. A wire-passing hole 9 communicating with the positioning tube 10 is opened on the second gear 7. Specifically, the hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the moving block 4 to move horizontally back and forth, and at the same time, through the positioning tube 10, the second gear 7 and the connecting plate 6, drives the connecting rod 11 to move horizontally. One end of the optical cable is set on the winding drum, and the optical cable passes through two guides. The gap between the wheels 19 is evenly wound by the horizontal displacement of the connecting rod 11. During the process of the connecting rod 11 moving horizontally from one end to the other, the motor 5 is started. The motor 5 drives the first gear 8 to rotate, and through meshing transmission, it drives the second gear 7 to rotate. The second gear 7 drives the guide on the connecting rod 11 to rotate 180 degrees synchronously through the connecting plate 6. The rotation axis of the second gear 7 passes through the midpoint of the vertical gap between the two guide wheels 19. This process ensures that the connecting rod 11 will not collide with the end baffles of the winding drum during the rotation process, ensuring that the two guide wheels 19 can move smoothly to the leftmost and rightmost edges of the winding drum, achieving neat and full winding, and making the winding and laying uniform.

[0018] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of hydraulic cylinder 3 and motor 5 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device, so their control methods and wiring layout will not be described in detail.

[0019] In this embodiment, a connector 12 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 11 away from the moving block 4. A sliding plate 14 is slidably connected to the connector 12 through an elastic unit. A wire-laying pressure roller 13 is provided on one side of the sliding plate 14. The elastic unit includes a telescopic column 17 and a spring 18 sleeved on the telescopic column 17. A horizontal groove 15 is opened in the connector 12. A slider 16 is slidably connected in the groove 15. One end of the slider 16 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 14. The two ends of the telescopic column 17 are fixedly connected to the slider 16 and the groove wall of the groove 15, respectively. Specifically, although the guide wheel 19 can move horizontally to the outermost edge of the winding drum, The optical cable itself is elastic and has inertia during winding, which may lead to loose winding and uneven edges. Through the elastic force of the spring 18, the guide wheel 19 always applies a buffered lateral pressure in the direction of the winding drum when the optical cable is about to contact the two ends of the winding drum. When it is necessary to wind the optical cable to both ends, the cable winding pressure wheel 13 will follow the movement trend of the guide wheel 19 under the push of the spring 18, and press the optical cable to the accurate position at both ends. The lateral pressure forces the optical cable to be tightly arranged together, which greatly improves the density and stability of the entire coil and makes the winding uniform.

[0020] Working principle: The hydraulic cylinder 3 of the optical cable winding and guiding mechanism drives the moving block 4 to move horizontally reciprocally. Simultaneously, through the positioning tube 10, the second gear 7, and the connecting plate 6, it drives the connecting rod 11 to move horizontally. One end of the optical cable is placed on the winding drum, and the cable passes through the gap between the two guide wheels 19. The cable is evenly wound through the horizontal displacement of the connecting rod 11. During the horizontal movement of the connecting rod 11 from one end to the other, the motor 5 is started. The motor 5 drives the first gear 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 7 to rotate through meshing transmission. The second gear 7 drives the guide component on the connecting rod 11 to rotate synchronously by 180 degrees through the connecting plate 6. The rotation axis of the second gear 7 passes through the midpoint of the vertical gap between the two guide wheels 19. This process ensures... During rotation, the connecting rod 11 will not collide with the end plates of the winding drum, ensuring that the two guide wheels 19 can move smoothly to the leftmost and rightmost edges of the winding drum, achieving neat and full winding, and making the winding and laying uniform. At the same time, when the optical cable is about to contact the edge of the winding drum, the guide wheels 19, through the force of the spring 18, always give the optical cable a buffered lateral pressure pointing in the direction of the drum. When it is necessary to wind the optical cable to both ends, the laying pressure wheel 13, driven by the spring 18, closely follows the movement trend of the guide wheel 19, pressing the optical cable at the accurate position at both ends. The lateral pressure forces the optical cable to be tightly arranged together, greatly improving the density and stability of the entire coil, and making the winding and laying uniform.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
