Abstract

The invention discloses a wire-clamping module for a wire-stripping machine. The wire-clamping module for the wire-stripping machine comprises a workbench arranged horizontally. An inner movable support and an outer movable support are arranged in the wire-clamping module. A first clamping claw and a second clamping claw are fixedly arranged in the inner movable support at the same time. Through the vertical moving of the inner movable support, the first clamping claw and the second clamping claw are driven to move vertically at the same time and vertical adjustment of the position of a clamping center can be achieved. At the same time, the inner movable support is sleeved in the outer movable support which can further move transversely along a horizontal direction relative to the workbench. Therefore, the outer movable support can simultaneously drive the inner movable support, the first clamping claw and the second clamping claw to move transversely and simultaneously, so that transverse adjustment of the position of the clamping center can be achieved. The wire-clamping module is completely separated from a cutting module of the wire-stripping machine and independent design is adopted, so that the cutter center can be regulated on the condition that no mechanism is dismounted. A regulation convenience level is greatly improved and regulation time is shortened at the same time.
