Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable manufacturing technology, specifically to a cable guiding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Cables, also known as electrical cables, are composite materials consisting of a conductor, an insulation layer, and a protective layer, used for transmitting electrical energy or signals. They are widely used in power, communication, and electronic equipment. During cable production, to ensure orderly arrangement and stable transmission, guiding mechanisms are often used for directional adjustment, preventing problems such as overlapping, knotting, or uneven tension during winding. These guiding mechanisms use multiple guide rollers to clamp the cable, allowing it to move orderly along the mechanism's trajectory, thus achieving precise control over the cable's direction.

[0003] Existing cable guiding mechanisms typically employ manual adjustment of the spacing between guide rollers to accommodate cables of varying diameters. However, manual adjustment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low accuracy and poor operational efficiency. Furthermore, improper adjustment can lead to excessively tight or loose clamping force, causing damage to the cable surface or slippage during the guiding process, thus affecting subsequent winding quality. In addition, in production scenarios involving frequent switching between multiple cable specifications, traditional manual adjustment methods struggle to meet the demands of rapid response and continuous operation, thereby reducing overall production efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes a cable guiding mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a cable guiding mechanism that solves the problems of low adjustment accuracy and poor operation efficiency of existing cable guiding mechanisms by cooperating with the drive component and the rotating roller.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means: A cable guiding mechanism includes a base, a support plate, and two support frames disposed on the support plate. The support plate is slidably mounted on the base via an output component. The two support frames are respectively provided with two rotating rollers arranged at intervals along the vertical and horizontal directions. The two rotating rollers move towards each other or in opposite directions on the support frames via a driving assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes two slide plates and a drive component fixed to the support frame. The two slide plates are slidably mounted on the support frame, and the output end of the drive component is provided with a guide plate that cooperates with the two slide plates.

[0007] Furthermore, the support frame and the slide plate are respectively provided with linear guides and sliders for mutual cooperation.

[0008] Furthermore, the output end of the drive unit is provided with a connector that connects and cooperates with the guide plate.

[0009] Furthermore, both of the aforementioned skateboards are provided with guide rods, and the guide plates are symmetrically provided with guide grooves on both sides that cooperate with the guide rods.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide rod is provided with a limiting block and a threaded block at both ends, and the threaded block is detachably installed at one end of the guide rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide groove is inclined outward from the middle of the guide plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a flexible sleeve is provided on the outer side of the rotating roller.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By cooperating with the drive component and two rotating rollers, the distance between the rotating rollers is adjusted to achieve adaptive clamping of cables of different diameters. Furthermore, the coordinated action of the vertical and horizontal sets of rotating rollers restricts the cable's degrees of freedom in three-dimensional space. Subsequently, through the sliding cooperation between the support plate and the output component, the cable is driven to translate along a predetermined trajectory, completing the dynamic adjustment of the cable winding position and avoiding uneven winding or overlapping caused by misalignment.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5The cable guiding mechanism specifically implemented therein includes a base 1, a support plate 2, and two support frames 3 disposed on the support plate 2. The support plate 2 is slidably mounted on the base 1 through an output component 4. The two support frames 3 are respectively provided with two rotating rollers 5 arranged at intervals along the vertical and horizontal directions. The two rotating rollers 5 move towards each other or in opposite directions on the support frames 3 through a drive assembly 6.

[0017] The base 1 has symmetrical guide rails on both sides, and the bottom of the support plate 2 is equipped with guide blocks that slide in cooperation with the guide rails. Through the cooperation between the guide blocks and the guide rails, the support plate 2 can slide smoothly along the direction of the guide rails, thereby ensuring that the support plate 2 remains stable during movement and avoiding shaking or deviation.

[0018] The lower end of the base 1 extends outward with a fixing lug, which has mounting holes. During use, the base 1 is fixed to the equipment frame or external structure by bolts passing through the mounting holes, thus ensuring a stable installation of the cable guiding mechanism and preventing displacement during operation. Two support frames 3 are fixedly connected to the support plate 2 by bolts. The positions of the support frames 3 can be customized with threaded holes to accommodate different cable requirements and improve adaptability.

[0019] In this embodiment, the output component 4 adopts a lead screw and nut module. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the base 1 through a bearing seat, and the lead screw nut is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw and fixedly connected to the support plate 2 through a nut seat. One end of the lead screw is equipped with a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to one end of the lead screw through a coupling.

[0020] When in use, start the drive motor, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw nut moves along the lead screw axis, thereby driving the support plate 2 and support frame 3 and other parts to achieve linear reciprocating motion on the base 1, thereby adjusting the guiding position of the cable and making it evenly wound on the take-up reel, avoiding cable overlap or deviation.

[0021] The drive assembly 6 includes two slide plates 61 and a drive component 62 fixed to the support frame 3. The two slide plates 61 are slidably mounted on the support frame 3, and the output end of the drive component 62 is provided with a guide plate 63 that cooperates with the two slide plates 61. Each slide plate 61 is provided with a guide rod 612, and the two sides of the guide plate 63 are symmetrically provided with guide grooves 631 that cooperate with the guide rods 612. The guide grooves 631 are inclined outward from the middle of the guide plate 63. The inclined guide grooves 631 cause the guide rods 612 to move along an inclined path during sliding, thereby driving the two slide plates 61 to move towards or away from each other on the support frame 3, realizing dynamic adjustment of the distance between the rotating rollers 5, thereby clamping or releasing the cable.

[0022] When the drive unit 62 is activated, its output end pushes the guide plate 63 to move towards the slide plate 61. Then, through the cooperation of the guide groove 631 and the guide rod 612, the linear motion of the guide plate 63 is converted into the opposing motion between the slide plates 61, thereby driving the two rotating rollers 5 to move closer to each other and clamp and position the cable. When the drive unit 62 moves in the opposite direction, the guide plate 63 retracts. Through the cooperation of the guide groove 631 and the guide rod 612, the linear retraction motion of the guide plate 63 is converted into the opposing motion between the slide plates 61, thereby driving the two rotating rollers 5 to move away from each other, releasing the cable clamping state, and facilitating the cable threading or adjustment.

[0023] The driving component 62 can be a linear drive element such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or electric push rod. When a cylinder is used as the driving component 62, a brake cylinder or locking cylinder can be used to achieve precise control of the cylinder stroke, ensuring that the guide plate 63 can maintain a stable locked state when it stops at any position, thereby providing a stable clamping force for the rotating roller 5, avoiding damage to the cable while ensuring the safety and controllability of the clamping process.

[0024] When a hydraulic cylinder or electric push rod is used as the driving component 62, the stroke can be precisely controlled through the matching hydraulic control system or electric control module, thereby accurately controlling the moving distance of the guide plate 63, improving the stability and repeatability of the slide plate 61, enabling adaptive clamping of cables of different diameters, ensuring uniform clamping force without damaging the cable surface, and improving the adaptability and operational reliability of the cable guiding mechanism.

[0025] The support frame 3 and the slide plate 61 are respectively equipped with a linear guide 31 and a slider 611 for mutual cooperation. The linear guide 31 is fixedly installed on the support frame 3 by bolts, while the slider 611 is fixed on the side of the slide plate 61 close to the support frame 3. Through the sliding cooperation between the slider 611 and the linear guide 31, the slide plate 61 can slide smoothly along the linear guide 31 on the support frame 3, thereby ensuring that the slide plate 61 is accurately guided and runs smoothly during movement, effectively reducing frictional resistance and operating noise.

[0026] The linear guide 31 and the slider 611 employ a high-precision fit clearance, providing excellent impact resistance and load-bearing capacity, enabling long-term stable operation during frequent reciprocating motions. This ensures that the entire cable guiding mechanism maintains excellent dynamic response performance and positioning accuracy even under high-speed operation or frequent start-stop conditions.

[0027] The output end of the drive unit 62 is provided with a connector 64 that connects and mates with the guide plate 63. The connector 64 can be an L-shaped plate or a connecting rod to connect the guide plate 63 and the drive unit 62, thereby ensuring that the output force of the drive unit 62 can be effectively transmitted to the guide plate 63, driving the guide plate 63 to move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory.

[0028] The guide rod 612 has a limiting block 613 and a threaded block 614 at each end. The threaded block 614 is detachably installed at one end of the guide rod 612. One end of the guide rod 612 has a threaded section that mates with the threaded block 614. In use, the guide rod 612 is passed through the slide plate 61 and the guide plate 63, so that the limiting block 613 abuts against one side of the slide plate 61 or the guide plate 63. Then, the threaded block 614 is tightened onto the threaded section of the guide rod 612, abutting against the other side of the slide plate 61 or the guide plate 63. This achieves axial limiting and fixing of the guide plate 63 and the guide rod 612, preventing axial movement of the guide plate 63 during movement. It ensures that the guide plate 63 can only move linearly in the direction of the thrust when pushed by the drive component 62, thus ensuring the synchronization and stability of the linkage between the slide plate 61 and the guide plate 63.

[0029] In addition, limiting structures such as limiting edges can be set on the guide plate 63 to further constrain the lateral offset of the guide plate 63 during the movement, thereby effectively improving the straightness and stability of the movement of the guide plate 63, avoiding running jamming or structural wear caused by off-center load or external force interference, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the guide plate 63 is always accurate and controllable, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the cable guiding mechanism under complex working conditions.

[0030] The rotating roller 5 consists of a shaft, a roller, and a bearing. The shaft is fixed to the slide plate 61, and the roller is sleeved on the outside of the shaft through the bearing, allowing it to rotate freely around the shaft. When the rotating roller 5 clamps the cable, the cooperation of the shaft, bearing, and roller enables the rotating roller 5 to rotate with the movement of the cable, eliminating sliding friction between the cable and the rotating roller 5, reducing the risk of damage to the cable surface, and simultaneously reducing running resistance, thus improving the smoothness and stability of the cable traction process.

[0031] In this embodiment, a flexible sleeve 51 is fitted around the outer side of the rotating roller 5. The flexible sleeve 51 is made of wear-resistant, non-slip rubber or plastic material with a certain degree of elastic deformation. The flexible sleeve 51 ensures that a moderate frictional force is generated when it contacts the cable surface, allowing the rotating roller 5 to effectively clamp the cable and rotate synchronously with the cable's movement. At the same time, its elastic deformation capability prevents the cable surface from being pinched or indented by the rotating roller 5 due to hard contact, thereby protecting the integrity of the cable sheath and ensuring the cable's appearance quality.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By cooperating with the drive assembly 6 and the two rotating rollers 5, the spacing between the rotating rollers 5 is adjusted to achieve adaptive clamping of cables of different diameters. Furthermore, through the coordinated action of the vertical and horizontal sets of rotating rollers 5, the freedom of the cable in three-dimensional space is restricted, ensuring the stability and straightness of its running trajectory. Subsequently, through the sliding cooperation between the support plate 2 and the output component 4, the cable is driven to translate along a predetermined trajectory, completing the dynamic adjustment of the cable winding position and avoiding uneven winding or overlapping caused by offset.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
