Waste cable identification method

The invention discloses a waste cable identification method and belongs to the field of cables. The method includes: stopping the front end of a waste cable at the tail end of a conveyor belt, and measuring the length and weight of the waste cable; fixing the front end of the waste cable, and measuring the outer diameter of the waste cable; shooting the front end face of the waste cable and carrying out photo analysis; comparing with a pre-stored standard cable parameter table, and deducing the specification of the waste cable; and measuring the copper content of the conductor wire core of the waste cable, and calculating the weight of the valuable metal in the waste cable according to a pre-stored standard cable parameter table. According to the method, the value identification and specification classification of the waste cable can be qualitatively and quantitatively realized by measuring the related mechanical parameters of the waste cable, measuring the copper content in the conductor core of the measured
