JPS585371Y2 - Cable dummy tape removal device - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device that automatically removes a dummy tape wound around a cable.

For example, when manufacturing linear objects such as cables,
In order to protect the semi-finished cable processed in the previous process, dummy tape was sometimes wrapped around the cable, and it was necessary to remove this dummy tape before moving on to the next process. .

Traditional cable manufacturing processes require workers to manually remove the dummy tape while moving the cable, and as the cable transport speed increases,
There was an inconvenience that the dummy tape could not be removed in time by the operator.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to automatically loosen, cut, and peel off the dummy tape wound around the cable without the need for an operator. An object of the present invention is to provide a dummy tape removing device.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to an illustrated embodiment.

In FIG. 1, a semi-finished cable 1 is being transported at a constant speed in the direction of an arrow 2 by a transport device (not shown), and a dummy tape 3 for protecting the cable is threaded around the circumference of the cable 1. It is wound in a shape.

A pair of relaxation members 4, 5 are disposed near the sides of the cable 1, and are fixed to eccentric shafts 6, 7 which are pivotally connected to a stationary member (not shown). By rotating in the direction and intermittently contacting the circumferential surface of the cable 1, the dummy tape 3 is peeled off from the circumferential surface of the cable and becomes loosened.

A pair of cutters 8, 9 are arranged downstream of the relaxation members 4, 5 and are fixed to the stationary member by shafts 11.12, the cutters 8, 9 having blades 8a, 9a and a guide section. 8b and 9b are formed respectively, and the relaxed dummy tape 3 is separated from the cable peripheral surface by the guide parts 8b and 9b, and further cut by the blades 8a and 9a.

A pair of peeling members 13 and 14 are provided downstream of the cutters 8 and 9.
The dummy tape 3 that is cut by the cutters 8 and 9 and attached to the cable 1 is peeled off by rotating the peeling member 13 and 14 in the direction of the arrow. completely removed from the cable surface.

Note that the number of the relaxation members 4 and 5 can be selected arbitrarily, and if the cutter 8 is made to be able to swing around the shaft 11 as shown by the chain line 8A, the dummy tape 3 can be Peeling and cutting actions can be performed more reliably.

Instead of the cutters 8 and 9, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a guide member 21 and a rotary cutter 23 rotating in the direction of the arrow around a shaft 22 are provided, and by their cooperation, the dummy tape 3 is cut. may be cut.

The relaxing member 4.5 in the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is composed of an eccentrically rotating roller as shown in FIG. 2, and makes intermittent contact with the dummy tape 3. Even if a loosening member 25 having a plurality of protrusions 25a as shown is provided and the loosening member 25 is rotated in the direction of the arrow around the shaft 26 and brought into intermittently contact with the dummy tape 3, the loosening action of the tape 3 can be performed. Furthermore, instead of the relaxation members 4, 5, and 26 that make intermittent contact, a roller made of a material that is soft like rubber and has a high coefficient of friction is kept in constant contact with the cable 1 and rotated. Even if the dummy tape 3 is used in a relaxed manner, the dummy tape 3 can be loosened.

Also, check the dummy tape 3 that remains attached to the cable 1.
Instead of using the peeling members 13 and 14 consisting of the eccentric rollers described above, the means for peeling off the dummy tape 3 remaining after cutting may be applied by blowing compressed air onto the cable 1.
can be removed from the cable 1.

According to the present invention, by arranging a loosening member, cutter, etc. near a cable moving at a constant speed, the dummy tape wound around the cable can be automatically loosened, cut, and peeled off regardless of the cable speed. This makes it possible to eliminate the need for dummy tape removal personnel required during conventional cable manufacturing.
