Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stranding machine technology, and specifically to an adjustable stranding reel for a welding gun cable stranding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Welding torch cable stranding machines are specialized equipment used to manufacture cables for welding equipment (such as welding torch power cords, control lines, etc.). By stranding multiple strands of copper wire or other conductors, they enhance the flexibility, tensile strength, and current carrying capacity of the cable.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as the cable coiling machine described in publication number CN214298621U, there is an electrical box and a cable. The electrical box is equipped with a reel for stabilizing the cable output direction. A coiling machine body is also located on one side of the motor. The coiling machine body is connected to a I-beam reel for winding the cable via a motor drive. The outer wall of the coiling machine body, on the side of the I-beam reel closest to the reel, is equipped with a conductor device for evenly winding and coiling the cable by the I-beam reel… The cable is pressed by the pressure wheel and guided by the conductor groove before being wound by the I-beam reel. The conductor wheel, through its interaction with the reciprocating thread groove, rotates while simultaneously moving back and forth, allowing the I-beam reel to evenly wind the cable layer by layer, precisely positioning the cable, ensuring stable operation, eliminating gaps between bundles of cables, and guaranteeing the quality and aesthetics of the coiling. During the implementation of the above-mentioned cable coiling machine, the inventors discovered that the coiling height varies depending on the cable specifications. However, the height of the cable coil processed using the above-mentioned I-beam reel is fixed. If different cable coils are to be processed, different I-beam reels need to be replaced, which is quite cumbersome to operate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve some problems in the prior art. Therefore, the present invention provides an adjustable stranding reel for a welding torch cable stranding machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution: An adjustable stranding reel for a welding torch cable stranding machine includes a frame, a first lifting mechanism mounted on the frame, a second lifting mechanism mounted on the first lifting mechanism, a drive mechanism mounted on the second lifting mechanism, a stranding reel mounted on the drive mechanism, and a rotating disk mounted on the frame. The stranding reel is provided with a baffle, and the rotating disk is provided with an annular groove. The stranding reel can move into the annular groove under the drive of the first and second lifting mechanisms, thereby changing the distance between the baffle and the rotating disk, which facilitates the processing of cable coils of different heights.

[0006] The further technical solution is as follows: the first lifting mechanism includes a first cylinder and a first connecting plate. The first cylinder is mounted on the frame, and the first connecting plate is mounted on the piston shaft of the first cylinder.

[0007] The further technical solution is as follows: the second lifting mechanism includes a second cylinder and a second connecting plate, the second cylinder is mounted on the first connecting plate, and the second connecting plate is mounted on the piston shaft of the second cylinder.

[0008] The further technical solution is as follows: the driving mechanism includes a motor and a rotating shaft, the motor is mounted on the second connecting plate, the rotating shaft is mounted on the output shaft of the motor, and the baffle is mounted on the rotating shaft.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model adopts a dual adjustment mechanism of a first lifting mechanism and a second lifting mechanism to achieve precise control of the height of the stranding reel. This allows for accurate adjustment of the distance between the baffle and the rotating disc, meeting the processing requirements of cable coils of different specifications. Compared with traditional fixed-height stranding reels (I-beam reels), it has a wider adjustment range and higher precision.

[0013] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0014] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0015] The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this application should be understood in their ordinary sense by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0016] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the adjustable stranding reel for a welding torch cable stranding machine includes a frame 1, a first lifting mechanism 2 mounted on the frame 1, a second lifting mechanism 3 mounted on the first lifting mechanism 2, a drive mechanism 4 mounted on the second lifting mechanism 3, a stranding reel 5 mounted on the drive mechanism 4, and a rotating disk 6 mounted on the frame 1. The stranding reel 5 is provided with a baffle 501, and the rotating disk 6 is provided with an annular groove 601. Under the drive of the first lifting mechanism 2 and the second lifting mechanism 3, the stranding reel 5 can move into the annular groove 601, thereby changing the distance between the baffle 501 and the rotating disk 6, which facilitates the processing of cable coils of different heights.

[0017] In this embodiment, the stranding reel 5 can be an air-expanding shaft. Before winding the cable 7, the air-expanding shaft is inflated, and the cable 7 can be tightly wound on the air-expanding shaft. After the cable 7 is wound, the air-expanding shaft is depressurized, which makes the radial direction of the air-expanding shaft smaller, and better separates the coiled cable 7.

[0018] In this embodiment, the width of the annular groove 601 is more than twice the wall thickness of the air shaft, so that after the air shaft enters the annular groove 601, there is still enough space for expansion, but the outer wall of the air shaft will not be in contact with the wall of the annular groove 601.

[0019] In this embodiment, a motor 401 that drives the rotating disk 6 to rotate is hidden inside the frame 1. The motor 401 can drive the rotating disk 6 and the stranding disk 5 to rotate synchronously. The synchronous rotation can be achieved by a synchronous controller.

[0020] In this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 2 includes a first cylinder 201 and a first connecting plate 202. The first cylinder 201 is mounted on the frame 1, and the first connecting plate 202 is mounted on the piston shaft of the first cylinder 201. At the same time, the first cylinder 201 is equipped with a pneumatic control system.

[0021] In some other feasible embodiments, the first cylinder 201 can be replaced by a hydraulic cylinder, which is equipped with a hydraulic control system.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first connecting plate 202 is a straight plate. In order to increase the connection strength between the first cylinder 201 and the first connecting plate 202, a reinforcing plate is added between the piston shaft of the first cylinder 201 and the first connecting plate 202.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 3 includes a second cylinder 301 and a second connecting plate 302. The second cylinder 301 is mounted on the first connecting plate 202, and the second connecting plate 302 is mounted on the piston shaft of the second cylinder 301. At the same time, the second cylinder 301 is equipped with a pneumatic control system.

[0024] In this embodiment, the second connecting plate 302 is an "L" shaped structure plate. The L-shaped structure can make full use of the right-angle space, which is suitable for the scenario where the motor 401 needs to be installed vertically. The L-shaped structure is more resistant to bending stress than a single-sided plate.

[0025] In some other feasible embodiments, the second cylinder 301 can be replaced by a hydraulic cylinder, which is equipped with a hydraulic control system.

[0026] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 4 includes a motor 401 and a rotating shaft 402. The motor 401 is mounted on the second connecting plate 302, the rotating shaft 402 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 401, and the baffle 501 is mounted on the rotating shaft 402. The motor 401 control system is also provided for it.

[0027] It should be noted that all standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit and air circuit connections adopt conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0028] It should be noted that this application is used in conjunction with lifting components, traction mechanisms, tangent components, etc. Since lifting components, traction mechanisms, and tangent components are all prior art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0029] This utility model relates to an adjustable stranding reel for a welding gun cable stranding machine. Its working principle is explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: The first cylinder 201 is started to drive the second lifting mechanism 3, the drive mechanism 4 and the stranded cable reel 5 to descend. Then, the height of the stranded cable reel 5 is finely adjusted by the second cylinder 301, and the distance between the baffle 501 and the rotating disk 6 is adjusted. The cable loop will be generated between the baffle 501 and the rotating disk 6. The stranded cable reel 5 expands and first winds one end of the cable 7 onto the stranded cable reel 5. The motor 401 is started to drive the stranded cable reel 5 and the rotating disk 6 to rotate synchronously so that the cable is wound into a regular loop. After winding for a length of N (e.g., 50, 100) meters, the stranded cable reel 5 stops automatically and retracts to separate the looped cable from it.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
