The work aims to propose an automatic winding device for the spiral sheath, in order to improve the winding efficiency of the spiral sheath and reduce the labor intensity. The proposed device consisted of a clamping rotation mechanism and a guide mechanism. The clamping mechanism realized the fixing of the pipe segment through pneumatic control and the rotation of the pipe segment through coaxial transmission. Under the restriction of the guide mechanism, the spiral sheath completed the automatic winding by means of spiral transmission. The finite element analysis method was used to analyze the deformation of the pipe segment during the clamping of the jaws, which provided a basis for whether the clamping mechanism caused damage to the pipe segment. The test results showed that the device could complete the winding of the spiral sheath for the straight pipe segment with a diameter of 6-14 mm. Under the condition of ensuring the winding quality, the winding efficiency was increased by 7.2 times compared with the manual winding. The design of this device realizes the automatic winding of the spiral sheath in the straight pipe segment, reduces labor costs and improves the production efficiency of spiral sheath winding.
