In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are used merely for distinguishing in description and have no special meaning.

(17) The present disclosure provides a method for processing a reaction force cone of a cable main insulating layer. In the method, a reaction force cone processing apparatus of a cable main insulating layer is adopted to achieve automatic processing of reaction force cones with different sizes, and the forming quality is good. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for processing the reaction force cone of the cable main insulating layer includes steps described below.

(18) In S01, two ends of the cable are clamped through a clamping device and the cable is enabled to pass through a cutting device.

(19) That is, before the reaction force cone is processed, a cable 10 to be processed needs to be clamped and fixed, and in this embodiment, the clamping device 2 is used to clamp and fix the two ends of the cable 10. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the clamping device 2 is mounted on a supporting seat 1, two sets of clamping devices 2 may be provided, and the two sets of clamping devices 2 are respectively disposed on two ends of the supporting seat 1 to clamp and fix the cable 10. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the clamping device 2 includes a clamping bracket 21 and two clamping jaws 22 slidably disposed on the clamping bracket 21, and the two clamping jaws 22 can be close to each other to clamp the cable 10, or can be far away from each other to release the clamp on the cable 10. In this embodiment, the two clamping jaws 22 achieve sliding through a structure described below. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the clamping device 2 further includes a rotatable rocker 25, a clamping gear 23 fixed to an end of the rocker 25, and clamping racks 24 respectively disposed on two sides of the clamping gear 23 and engaged with the clamping gear 23. The clamping racks 24 are vertically disposed, and each clamping jaw 22 is fixed to one end of one clamping rack 24. The rocker 25 is rotated to drive the clamping gear 23 to rotate, thereby enabling the clamping rack 24 to move up or down, and the clamping rack 24 drives the clamping jaw 22 to move up or down. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, since the two clamping racks 24 are respectively disposed on two sides of the clamping gear 23, moving directions of the two clamping racks 24 are opposite, so that the two clamping jaws 22 can be close to and far away from each other.

(20) As shown in FIG. 5, the clamping jaw 22 may alternatively adopt a plate-shaped structure, and the clamping jaw 22 may be in a V shape or an arc shape to match the shape of the cable 10.

(21) In this embodiment, the rocker 25 may be manually rotated, that is, the clamping jaw 22 can be clamped or released directly through hand-cranking of the rocker 25. The rocker 25 may also be driven by a driving member such as a motor to rotate.

(22) Further, the clamping device 2 in this embodiment further includes a locking bolt 26, and the locking bolt 26 can lock a position of the rocker 25 to achieve the fixation of a position of the clamping jaw 22, thereby enabling the clamping jaw 22 to clamp the cable 1 more stably and reliably. The locking of the rocker 25 by the locking bolt 26 may be achieved in a manner of an end of the locking bolt 26 abutting against the rocker 25 so as to prevent the rocker 25 from rotating, or the locking of the rocker 25 is achieved in a manner of other structures cooperating with the locking bolt 26.

(23) The clamping device 2 is provided to ensure the stability during the cable processing process, and the surface of the cable after being cut is smooth without the need for secondary trimming.

(24) In S02, a cutting depth of the cutting device in a radial direction and a cutting position of the cutting device in an axial direction are adjusted.

(25) That is, after the cable 10 is clamped and fixed, the preparation before cutting can be performed. Specifically, the cutting depth of the cutting device in the radial direction and the cutting position in the axial direction can be adjusted according to a required size of the reaction force cone. In this embodiment, the cutting device 3 is slidably disposed on the supporting seat 1, and the cutting of the cable 10 can be achieved by the cutting device 3 to form a required reaction force cone. Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the cutting device 3 includes a cutting carrier body 30, a driving assembly 31 mounted on the cutting carrier body 30, and a cutting tool 32 driven by the driving assembly 31. The driving assembly 31 can drive the cutting tool 32 to rotate and move along a radial direction of the cable 10 to adjust the cutting depth. Exemplarily, the driving assembly 31 includes a first driving piece 311, a second driving piece 312, and a planetary gear set 313. The cutting tool 32 is driven by the planetary gear set 313 to rotate and move in the radial direction along the cable 10, where the first driving piece 311 and the second driving piece 312 jointly drive the planetary gear set 313 to rotate, and enable the planetary gear set 313 to drive the cutting tool 32 to rotate. In addition, the first driving piece 311 and the second driving piece 312 can also enable the planetary gear set 313 to drive the cutting tool 32 to move in the radial direction along the cable 10 to adjust the cutting depth.

(26) As shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, preferably, the planetary gear set 313 includes a planetary carrier 3131, a fixed gear 3132, a ring gear 3133, a planetary gear 3134, and a tool drive gear 3135, where one end of the fixed gear 3132 rotatably passes through the cutting carrier body 30 and is supported by the cutting carrier body 30, and the end of the fixed gear 3132 is driven by the first driving piece 311 to rotate. The planetary carrier 3131 is fixedly sleeved on the other end of the fixed gear 3132 to rotate with the fixed gear 3132, and the planetary carrier 3131 is configured to support the ring gear 3133 and the planetary gear 3134.

(27) Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 9, the fixed gear 3132 may have a columnar structure. The driving assembly 31 in this embodiment may further include a power input gear 314 and a first transmission gear 315, and the power input gear 314 is engaged with the first transmission gear 315. The first transmission gear 315 is fixedly connected to an output end of the first driving piece 311, the power input gear 314 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed gear 3132 by fasteners such as bolts, and the power input gear 314 can drive the fixed gear 3132 to rotate at the same speed. In this embodiment, only one end of the fixed gear 3132 far away from the power input gear 314 is provided with teeth, and the rest part is a polished rod structure.

(28) The ring gear 3133 is sleeved on an outer side of the other end of the fixed gear 3132, and can be driven by the second driving piece 312 to rotate. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the driving assembly 31 in this embodiment may further include a second transmission gear 316, the second transmission gear 316 is fixedly connected to an output end of the second driving piece 312, the second transmission gear 316 is engaged with external teeth of the ring gear 3133, the second transmission gear 316 is driven by the second driving piece 312 to rotate, and the second transmission gear 316 can drive the ring gear 3133 to rotate.

(29) The planetary gear 3134 is disposed between the fixed gear 3132 and the ring gear 3133 (shown in FIG. 9), and the planetary gear 3134 is engaged with internal teeth of the fixed gear 3132 and internal teeth of the ring gear 3133 to achieve revolution and rotation of the planetary gear 3134. The planetary gear 3134 and the tool drive gear 3135 are coaxially connected through a gear shaft 3137, so that the planetary gear 3134 can drive the tool drive gear 3135 to rotate synchronously. The tool drive gear 3135 can be engaged with a rack 3136 fixed on the cutting tool 32 to drive the rack 3136 to drive the cutting tool 32 to move in the radial direction, thereby achieving the adjustment of the cutting depth.

(30) In this embodiment, a revolution speed and rotation speed of the planetary gear 3134 are affected by rotational speeds of the ring gear 3133 and the fixed gear 3132 and the number of gear teeth of a corresponding gear. In a case where modulus of the gear is the same, the rotation speed n.sub.2 and the revolution speed n.sub.H of the planetary gear 3134, a rotational speed n.sub.1 and the number z.sub.1 of gear teeth of the ring gear 3133, a rotational speed n.sub.3 and a gear diameter z.sub.3 of the fixed gear 21 satisfy a following relationship:

(31) $n_2=\frac{n_1{z}_1-n_3{z}_3}{z_1-z_3};$$n_H=\frac{n_1{z}_1+n_3{z}_3}{z_1+z_3}.$

(32) When the rotational speed n.sub.1 and the number z.sub.1 of gear teeth of the ring gear 3133 and the rotational speed n.sub.3 and the gear diameter z.sub.3 of the fixed gear 3132 satisfy n.sub.1z.sub.1=n.sub.3z.sub.3, the planetary gear 3134 only revolves without rotation. The planetary gear 3134 drives the tool drive gear 3135 through the gear shaft 3137. Since the planetary gear 3134 does not rotate, the rack 3136 has no displacement in the radial direction, that is, a feed depth of the cutting tool 32 does not change. If n.sub.1z.sub.1≠n.sub.3z.sub.3, the planetary gear 3134 has the rotation motion, and finally the feed depth of the cutting tool 32 changes to be adjusted to a required cutting depth. The rotational speed of the first driving piece 311 and the rotational speed of the second driving piece 312 can also be adjusted to adjust and control the revolution speed. The greater the revolution speed, the greater the rotational speed of the cutting tool 32, and the smoother the reaction force cone cut out.

(33) The feed depth and the rotational speed of the cutting tool 32 can be controlled through a control of the first driving piece 311 and the second driving piece 312, so that the processing apparatus of this embodiment can process reaction force cones with different requirements.

(34) In S03, the cutting device is started, and the cable is cut by the cutting device to form the reaction force cone.

(35) That is, the cutting device 2 is started, so that the cutting device 2 can move along an axial direction of the cable 10 while cutting the cable 10, thereby forming the required reaction force cone.

(36) In this embodiment, the movement of the cutting device 2 is mainly achieved through a transverse feed device 4. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the transverse feed device 4 includes a supporting base 41, a transverse feed motor 42, a lead screw 43, a slider 44 and a slide rail 45, where the supporting base 41 is fixedly mounted on the supporting seat 1, the transverse feed motor 42 is mounted on the supporting base 41, an output end of the transverse feed motor 42 is connected with the lead screw 43, the lead screw 43 is threadedly connected to the slider 44, the slider 44 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 45, the slide rail 45 is fixedly mounted on the supporting seat 1, and the cutting device 3 is fixedly connected to the slider 44 (for example, a cutting carrier body 30 of the cutting device 3 may be fixedly connected above the slider 44). The lead screw 43 is driven by the transverse feed motor 42 to rotate, which enables the slider 44 to slide along the slide rail 45 and drives the cutting device 3 to slide in the axial direction of the cable 10, so that the cutting device 3 can achieve transverse feed to complete the processing of the reaction force cone.

(37) In this embodiment, a transverse feed speed of the cutting tool 32 can be adjusted through a control of a rotational speed of the transverse feed motor 42, and further, the feed depth and rotational speed of the cutting tool 32 can be controlled by the first driving piece 311 and the second driving piece 312, such cooperation enabling the processing apparatus of this embodiment to be adapted to the processing requirements of cables 10 with different sizes, and the reaction force cones with different shapes can be cut and processed.

(38) When the method for processing the reaction force cone of the cable main insulating layer of this embodiment is used, firstly, the clamping device 2 is adjusted according to a diameter of the cable 10 to clamp the two ends of the cable 10, and at this time, the cable 10 is configured to pass through the cutting device 3. Subsequently, the cutting tool 32 of the cutting device 3 is controlled to feed to a preset cutting depth, then the cutting tool 32 is controlled to rotate, and at the same time, the transverse feed device 4 is controlled to drive the cutting device 3 to move in the axial direction to achieve the object of processing the reaction force cone.
