Abstract
A cable bundling device includes a cable positioning and a wrapping mechanism. The cable positioning mechanism includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member, which are set in a working zone. The first and second clamping members function to respectively clamp ends of a cable. One of the wrapping mechanism and the cable positioning mechanism is selectively rotatable to have the bundling material loaded in the wrapping mechanism wrapped around the cable.
Claims10
A cable bundling device adapted to wind and wrap a bundling material around a cable, the cable bundling device comprises:
- a cable positioning mechanism, which comprises a first clamping member and a second clamping member, the first clamping member being located at a first end of a working zone, the second clamping member being located at a second end of the working zone that is opposite to the first clamping member, the first clamping member and the second clamping member being adapted to respectively clamp cable ends of the cable;
- a wrapping mechanism, which is loaded with the bundling material, the wrapping mechanism being rotatable;
- a track assembly, which comprises a track and a slide, the slide being slidably mounted to the track to be movable in an axial movement direction;
- and
- a rotation mechanism, which comprises:
- a support base, which is mounted to the slide of the track assembly, and
- a rotary unit, which is coupled to a predetermined location of the support base through a transmission assembly, so as to be driven through the transmission assembly to rotate in a rotation direction about a center axis, the rotary unit, the transmission assembly, and the support base commonly defining a through hole having a predetermined diameter in the center axis, the through hole defining the working zone along the axial movement direction;
- wherein the wrapping mechanism is mounted on the rotary unit at a location adjacent to the working zone;
- wherein when the slide of the track assembly moves along the track in the axial movement direction, the rotary unit of the rotation mechanism and the wrapping mechanism are in rotation in the rotation direction, whereby with the through hole of the rotary unit being moved over the cable located in the working zone, the wrapping mechanism winds and wraps the bundling material around the cable;
- and
- wherein one of the wrapping mechanism and the cable positioning mechanism is selectively rotatable to have the bundling material wrapped around the cable.
