I. Standard installation and fixation
a. Select a reel that meets the strength and stability standards
Ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the cable reel matches the weight of the cable, and give priority to models with automatic tension control function.
b. Fix the reel to prevent displacement
Use ropes, brackets and other tools to fix the reel during transportation or storage to avoid sliding or overturning.
II. Standardized operation process
a. Uniform distribution and uniform speed operation
Maintain a stable speed when retracting and releasing the cable to avoid entanglement caused by uneven tightness; ensure that the cable is evenly distributed on the reel.
b. Follow the correct winding direction
Strictly operate according to the winding direction marked on the reel, and crossover or overlap is prohibited.
c. Use automatic tension control
Equipped with a tension controller, real-time monitoring and adjustment of winding tension to reduce tightness differences.
III. Regular maintenance and inspection
a. Clean and lubricate key components
Regularly remove dirt from the surface of the reel, and apply lubricant to rotating parts such as bearings and gears to reduce friction.
b. Adjust the tension and check the wear
Regularly check whether the tension setting is reasonable, and replace worn bearings, gears and other parts in time.
c. Check for external force damage
Check whether the cable insulation layer and protective layer are damaged to avoid insulation aging due to mechanical damage.
IV. Storage management
a. Fully retract and store vertically
After use, ensure that the cable is fully retracted into the reel, and place it vertically to prevent rolling and loosening.
b. Control the storage environment
Choose a dry and ventilated storage environment to avoid long-term exposure or moisture.
V. Personnel training and operating specifications
c. Improve operating skills
Strengthen personnel training to ensure proficiency in key operations such as uniform speed retraction and tension adjustment.
d. Formulate an inspection system
Regularly arrange professionals to check the cable status and the operation of the reel equipment.
The above measures can systematically reduce cable reel winding failures and ensure equipment stability and cable service life
Typical Cases and Solutions for Cable Reel anti-tangling Failures:
1. Cable recovery partial winding collapse failure
Case 1: The patent developed by Sichuan Haoqi Cable Company shows that when traditional cable reels are used to recycle cables, due to the lack of standardized winding trajectory control, there are often problems of excessive local winding and uneven tightness, which eventually lead to cable collapse.
Solution: Use a device with a rewinding mechanism (active gear, driven gear, rewinding screw) and a limit plate to force the cable winding trajectory to be standardized and achieve uniform winding.

2. Uncontrolled spring potential energy causes cable winding failure
Case 2: When a factory was repairing an electromagnetic cable, the spring's elastic potential energy was not released, resulting in the spring popping out suddenly after the screws fixing the winding box were removed, causing injuries to personnel and exposing the hidden dangers of cable loosening and winding failure.
Solution: Emphasize that the spring potential energy must be released before maintenance, and strengthen the operator's training on equipment structure to avoid abnormal cable winding due to uncontrolled mechanical energy

3. Uneven tightness of wire leads to chaotic winding
Case 3: The patent of Jiangxi Hejia Technology points out that due to unstable tension during the winding process, wires are prone to partial loosening, accumulation and winding, which affects subsequent use.
Solution: Design a winding device with a tensioning component, dynamically adjust the pulley height through springs and moving plates, keep the wires evenly tensioned, and combine the manual guide function to ensure neat winding.

4. Spindle power head cable entanglement problem
Case 4: In the application of CNC machine tools (such as Japan's Nakanishi NAKANISHI spindle), the rotating turret spindle cable frequently has problems with twisting and breaking due to the lack of anti-entanglement mechanism.
Solution: Use a dedicated anti-entanglement mechanism or dynamic tension control system to optimize the cable path and fixing method to reduce the accumulation of torque during rotation

By optimizing the winding mechanism (such as rewinding limit), standardizing the operating process (such as releasing spring potential energy) and adding dynamic adjustment devices (such as tensioning components), the risk of failure can be effectively reduced.
