Field of the invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a cutting and stripping device and particularly to a smart wire cutting and stripping device and method to operate the same.
Description of Related Art
[002] Electricity is one of, a greatest gift that a science has given to humanity. Our culture has progressed to a point that the electricity is used for all purposes. The purposes are from operating huge factories to powering up small households. Without it, human existence will suffer. The electricity is a multipurpose source of energy that is produced by a battery or a coil of wires or by a dynamo machine. It is produced in a thermal power plant or a hydropower plant. However, to transmit the produced electricity, overhead transmission lines are used. Additionally, for distributing the received electricity on a premise, a network of wires is deployed. These wires power electrical wall sockets and other electrically operated appliances.
[003] For installing wires and other electrically operated appliances, the wires should expose their conductive portion out of an insulated coating. These conductive portions conduct the electricity and power up the appliances. For an exposition of s conductive portion of the wires, electricians use a tool known as a wire stripper and wire cutter. However, the electricians and workers working round a clock within a proximity of the wires carrying high voltages are always at risk while performing stripping and cutting operations. Although the electricians take all the precautionary measures, however there are still some fatality cases due to electrocution.
[004] Further, there are commercially available wire strippers and wire cutters with insulation means but they degrade over a time leading to contact with a metallic part of the tool. These manually operated tools are not very precise and accurate in marking and making the wire cuts, that leads to wastage of resources.
[005] There is thus a need for a wire cutting and stripping device that can operate smartly in a more efficient manner.

In an embodiment of the present invention, if the number of cuts received from the input receiving module 200 is greater than the number of cuts made in the wire then the data comparison module 206 may enable the servo motor 126 to continue stripping and cutting the wire. In another embodiment of the present invention, the data comparison module 206 may be configured to generate a stop signal, when the number of cuts received from the user device 120 is less than the number of cuts made in the wire. The data comparison module 206 may further be configured to transmit the generated stop signal to the servo motor control module 204.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, the servo motor control module 204 may further be configured to deactivate the servo motor 126 based on the received stop signal.
[0055] FIG. 3 depicts a flowchart of a method 300 of operating the device 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] At step 302, the device 100 may receive the inputs associated with the cutting and stripping of the wire from the user device 120 through the communication network 118 such that the inputs are selected from the length of the wire to be cut, the number of cuts to be made in the wire, and so forth.
[0057] At step 304, the device 100 may actuate the stepper motor 124 disposed inside the stepper motor casing 110 to feed the wire from the wire reel 106 into the device 100 through the wire inlet 104.
[0058] At step 306, the device 100 may actuate the servo motor 126 disposed inside the servo motor casing 112, to drive the wire stripper and cutter 122 to strip and cut the wire based on the inputs received from the user device 120.
[0059] At step 308, the device 100 may compare the number of cuts made in the wire with the number of cuts received from the user device 120. If the number of cuts received from the user device 120 is greater than the number of cuts made in the wire, then the method 300 may return to the step 306, else the method 300 may conclude.
[0060] While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and various embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0061] This written description uses examples to disclose the invention, including the best mode, and also to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the invention, including making and using any devices or systems and performing any incorporated methods. The patentable scope of the invention is defined in the claims, and may include other examples that occur to those skilled in the art. Such other examples are intended to be within the scope of the claims if they have structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims, or if they include equivalent structural elements within substantial differences from the literal languages of the claims.
