This application claims the benefit of the filing date under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a)-(d) of Chinese patent application Ser. No. 202310085674.5, filed on Jan. 18, 2023.
The present invention relates to a cable clamping device for clamping a cable.
In the prior art, before using a cable processing device to process an end of a cable, it is necessary to use a cable clamping device to clamp and secure the cable. Usually, the clamped cable has an extension section with a predetermined length extending forward from the fixture of the cable clamping device, and the cable processing device is used to process the extension section of the cable. However, in the prior art, it is difficult to ensure that the extension section of the cable is aligned with the cable processing device, especially when the cable is relatively soft, which makes the processing of the cable difficult and seriously affects the processing efficiency and quality of the cable end.
A cable clamping device includes a first clamping device having a first fixture for clamping a cable and a second clamping device having a second fixture for clamping the cable. The first fixture clamps at a predetermined location on the cable. The cable has an extension section extending a predetermined length forward from the first fixture. The second fixture clamps on the extension section of the cable to align the extension section of the cable with a cable processing module.
Features of the present invention will become more apparent by describing in detail exemplary embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinafter in detail with reference to the attached drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements. The present disclosure may however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will convey the concept of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
As shown in
The first fixture 12 is used to clamp the cable 3 at a predetermined location, so that the clamped cable 3 has an extension section 3a extending a predetermined length forward from the first fixture 12. The second fixture 22 is used to clamp on the extension section 3a of cable 3 to ensure that the end of the extension section 3a of cable 3 is aligned with the cable processing module. The alignment facilitates processing of the end of the cable 3, greatly improving the processing efficiency and quality of the cable end.

As shown in
In the illustrated embodiment, a first sliding block 110 is fixed on the first floatable frame 11, and the first vertical slide groove 11a is formed on the first sliding block 110. The first vertical slide rail 14a is fixed to the first vertical bracket 14 and mated with the first vertical slide groove 11a on the first sliding block 110.
As shown in
In the illustrated embodiment, the first clamping device 1 further includes a first horizontal driving device, which is installed on the first floatable frame 11 and connected to the first fixture 12 to drive the first fixture 12 to move horizontally relative to the first floatable frame 11. The first horizontal driving device can be an air cylinder or an electric cylinder.
In an embodiment, the cable clamping device further includes a vertical pressing device, which is used to press the first floatable frame 11 to drive it to float in the vertical direction.
As shown in
As shown in
In the illustrated embodiment, a second sliding block 210 is fixed on the second floatable frame 21, as shown in
As shown in
In an embodiment, the cable clamping device further includes a vertical pressing device, which is suitable for simultaneously pressing on the first floatable frame 11 and the pressing block 27 to drive the first floatable frame 11 and the second floatable frame 21 to float synchronously in the vertical direction.
As shown in
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a second horizontal slide groove is provided on one of the horizontal moving frame 25 and the pressing block 27, and a second horizontal slide rail is provided on the other to guide the horizontal moving frame 25 to move horizontally relative to the second floatable frame 21.
In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a second horizontal slide groove is provided on one of the horizontal moving frame 25 and the second floatable frame 21, and a second horizontal slide rail is provided on the other to guide the horizontal moving frame 25 to move horizontally relative to the second floatable frame 21.
As shown in
It should be appreciated for those skilled in this art that the above embodiments are intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, many modifications may be made to the above embodiments by those skilled in this art, and various features described in different embodiments may be freely combined with each other without conflicting in configuration or principle.
Although several exemplary embodiments have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the disclosure, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
As used herein, an element recited in the singular and proceeded with the word “a” or “an” should be understood as not excluding plural of said elements or steps, unless such exclusion is explicitly stated. Furthermore, references to “one embodiment” of the present invention are not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of additional embodiments that also incorporate the recited features. Moreover, unless explicitly stated to the contrary, embodiments “comprising” or “having” an element or a plurality of elements having a particular property may include additional such elements not having that property.
