Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of bamboo strip weaving technology, and in particular relates to a bamboo cage weaving machine. Background Technology

[0002] Bamboo woven cages are a traditional handicraft, typically used for catching and raising birds, insects, fish, shrimp, etc., or as decorative items. Figure 1 As shown, the bamboo strip woven cage is mainly woven from bamboo strips, which include warp strips 110 and weft loops 120. Multiple weft loops 120 are arranged in parallel intervals along one direction, and each warp strip 110 is interlaced between multiple weft loops 120 until it is woven into a cylindrical woven cage.

[0003] Existing bamboo strip woven cages are mainly made by hand, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a bamboo cage weaving machine, which can solve the problem of low efficiency in manual bamboo cage weaving.

[0005] This application provides a bamboo cage weaving machine, comprising:

[0006] The base has a length direction, and multiple warp strips can be spaced out and arranged in a ring along the length direction of the base;

[0007] The ring feeding mechanism is mounted on the base. The ring feeding mechanism includes a ring feeding drive assembly and a placement position for stacking multiple weft rings. The ring feeding drive assembly can remove the weft rings stacked on the placement position one by one.

[0008] A cage weaving mechanism, comprising an annular base, a plurality of first clamping members, and a plurality of second clamping members, wherein the annular base is disposed on a base and the axis of the annular base is located along the length direction of the base, and the plurality of first clamping members and the plurality of second clamping members are alternately arranged circumferentially on the annular base; and

[0009] The ring-moving mechanism is set on the base. The ring-moving mechanism can clamp the weft ring taken out by the ring-feeding mechanism and drive the weft ring to move along the length direction of the base.

[0010] The first clamping member can clamp a portion of the warp strip and move it radially along the annular seat to form a first ring, and the second clamping member can clamp the remaining warp strip and move it radially along the annular seat to form a second ring. The warp strips in the first ring and the warp strips in the second ring are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the annular seat. The ring-moving mechanism can feed the weft rings one by one into the space between the first ring and the second ring along the length direction of the base. The two adjacent weft rings are alternately distributed on the inner and outer sides of each warp strip in the axial direction.

[0011] Optionally, the annular seat includes a first annular seat and a second annular seat that are parallel to each other and spaced apart along the length of the base. The first annular seat is close to the ring feeding mechanism, and a plurality of first clamping members and a plurality of second clamping members are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the first annular seat.

[0012] The second ring seat is circumferentially provided with multiple third clamping members, which can move radially along the second ring seat to clamp or release the warp strip;

[0013] When the weft ring approaches the first ring seat under the action of the ring-moving mechanism, multiple first clamping members and multiple second clamping members release the warp strips they have clamped to allow the weft ring to pass through the first ring seat; when the weft ring moves between the first ring seat and the second ring seat, multiple first clamping members and multiple second clamping members re-clamp the corresponding warp strips, and multiple third clamping members release the warp strips they have clamped to allow the weft ring to pass through the second ring seat.

[0014] Optionally, both the first clamping member and the second clamping member have positioning elements at their driving ends.

[0015] Optionally, the ring delivery drive assembly includes a lifting drive, a lateral drive, and a hook. The lateral drive is mounted on the base, the lifting drive is mounted on the drive end of the lateral drive, and the hook is mounted on the drive end of the lifting drive. Under the action of the lifting drive and the lateral drive, the hook can pick up the weft rings one by one from the placement position and deliver them to the ring delivery mechanism.

[0016] Optionally, the ring delivery mechanism may also include:

[0017] The platform is placed on the base; and

[0018] Multiple limiting posts are set above the placement platform. The placement platform and the multiple limiting posts form a placement position. There is a preset gap between the bottom end of the limiting posts and the placement platform to allow a single weft ring to pass through.

[0019] The placement platform is equipped with a pawl and a pawl driver. The pawl can drive the weft ring placed on the placement platform to leave the placement position through a preset gap under the action of the pawl driver.

[0020] Optionally, the ring-operated mechanism includes a linear drive assembly and a weft ring clamping component. The linear drive assembly is arranged along the length direction of the base, and the weft ring clamping component is located at the drive end of the linear drive assembly. The weft ring clamping component can clamp the weft ring and move back and forth along the length direction of the base under the action of the linear drive assembly.

[0021] Optionally, the ring mechanism includes two parallel linear drive components, each with a weft ring clamping member on its drive end. An annular seat is positioned between the two linear drive components, and the weft ring is clamped by the two weft ring clamping members. Furthermore, the annular seat has clearance notches at positions corresponding to the two weft ring clamping members for the weft ring clamping members to pass through.

[0022] Optionally, the bamboo cage weaving machine also includes a cage retraction mechanism mounted on the base, with the cage retraction mechanism and the ring feeding mechanism located at opposite ends of the base along its length.

[0023] The withdrawal mechanism includes:

[0024] The cage withdrawal drive assembly is mounted on the base;

[0025] The third ring seat is located at the drive end of the retraction drive assembly, and can move back and forth along the length of the base under the action of the retraction drive assembly; and

[0026] Multiple fourth clamping members are circumferentially arranged on the third ring seat. The fourth clamping members can move radially along the third ring seat to clamp or release the warp strip.

[0027] After the bamboo cage is woven, the third ring seat can move away from the ring feeding mechanism under the action of the cage withdrawal drive component, so that multiple fourth clamping parts can drive the bamboo cage to move, so that multiple warp strips can be withdrawn from the ring seat along the length direction of the base.

[0028] Optionally, the cage mechanism also includes an annular seat moving component disposed on the base, the annular seat being able to move back and forth along the length of the base under the action of the annular seat moving component;

[0029] The cage withdrawal mechanism also includes multiple guide members disposed on the side of the third ring seat away from the ring feeding mechanism. The multiple guide members are arranged in a ring, and the multiple guide members correspond one-to-one with the multiple fourth clamping members in the length direction of the base.

[0030] Multiple warp strips enter the base through corresponding guides. Multiple first clamping members and multiple second clamping members clamp one end of the multiple warp strips in a corresponding manner. Under the action of the ring seat moving assembly, the multiple warp strips move along the length direction of the base toward the ring feeding mechanism. Multiple fourth clamping members are used to clamp the end of the multiple warp strips away from the ring feeding mechanism.

[0031] Optional, the bamboo cage weaving machine also includes:

[0032] The fourth ring seat is located at one end of the base near the retraction mechanism, and the fourth ring seat corresponds to the third ring seat in the length direction of the base; and

[0033] Multiple guide wheel sets are circumferentially arranged on the fourth ring seat. The multiple guide wheel sets and multiple fourth clamping parts correspond one-to-one in the length direction of the base to guide the warp strip into the base.

[0034] The bamboo cage weaving machine provided in this application can solve the problem of low efficiency in manual bamboo cage weaving. The weaving mechanism divides multiple warp strips arranged in a circular ring into a first ring and a second ring. The inner diameter of the first ring and the second ring alternates under the action of the weaving mechanism. The ring feeding mechanism takes out the weft rings one by one, and the ring transport mechanism feeds the weft rings between the first ring and the second ring to weave a cylindrical bamboo cage.

[0066] The bamboo cage weaving machine provided in this application will be described exemplarily below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0067] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bamboo cage weaving machine provided in this application embodiment includes a base 1, a ring feeding mechanism 2, a cage weaving mechanism 3, and a ring transport mechanism 4. The base 1 has a length direction, and multiple warp strips 110 can be spaced apart and arranged in a ring along the length direction of the base 1. The ring feeding mechanism 2 is disposed on the base 1 and includes a ring feeding drive assembly 21 and a placement position 23 for stacking multiple weft rings 120. The ring feeding drive assembly 21 can remove the weft rings stacked on the placement position 23 one by one. The cage weaving mechanism 3 includes an annular seat 31, multiple first clamping members 32, and multiple second clamping members 33. The annular seat 31 is disposed on the base 1 and the axis of the annular seat 31 is located in the length direction of the base 1. The multiple first clamping members 32 and the multiple second clamping members 33 alternate in the circumferential direction of the annular seat 31. Arrangement: The ring-moving mechanism 4 is set on the base 1. The ring-moving mechanism 4 can clamp the weft ring 120 taken out by the ring-feeding mechanism 2 and drive the weft ring 120 to move along the length direction of the base 1. Among them, the first clamping member 32 can clamp part of the warp strip 110 to move radially along the annular seat 31 to form a first ring 130, and the second clamping member 33 can clamp the remaining warp strip 110 to move radially along the annular seat 31 to form a second ring 140. The warp strips 110 in the first ring 130 and the warp strips 110 in the second ring 140 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the annular seat 31. The ring-moving mechanism 4 can feed the weft ring 120 one by one along the length direction of the base 1 between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140. The two adjacent weft rings 120 are alternately distributed on the inner and outer sides of each warp strip 110 in the axial direction.

[0068] The bamboo cage weaving machine provided in this application can weave multiple warp strips 110 and multiple weft loops 120 into a bamboo cage. Before weaving, the multiple warp strips 110 are arranged in a ring at intervals along the length of the base 1, and the multiple weft loops 120 are stacked on the placement position 23 of the ring feeding mechanism 2.

[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, during weaving, each first clamping member 32 clamps a warp sliver 110 and drives it to move radially along the annular seat 31. Some of the warp slivers 110 arranged in a ring can form a first ring 130 under the action of the multiple first clamping members 32. The remaining warp slivers 110 arranged in a ring can form a second ring 140 under the action of the multiple second clamping members 33. At this time, the inner diameter of the first ring 130 is larger than the inner diameter of the second ring 140. Next, the ring delivery drive assembly 21 removes a weft loop 120 from the placement position 23. The ring transport mechanism 4 receives the weft loop 120 from the ring delivery drive assembly 21 and drives the weft loop 120 along the length direction of the base 1 between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140. After the ring transport mechanism 4 delivers the weft loop 120 to the end of the warp 110 away from the ring delivery mechanism 2, the ring transport mechanism 4 releases the clamp on the weft loop 120 and returns to the vicinity of the ring delivery mechanism 2 to receive the next weft loop 120. Then, the warp strip 110 in the first ring 130 moves radially inward along the ring seat 31 under the action of multiple first clamping members 32, and the warp strip 110 in the second ring 140 moves radially outward along the ring seat 31 under the action of multiple second clamping members 33, so that the inner diameter of the first ring 130 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second ring 140. Then, the next weft ring 120 is fed between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140 through the ring moving mechanism 4.

[0070] The bamboo cage weaving machine repeats the above weaving process so that two adjacent weft loops 120 are alternately distributed on the inner and outer sides of each warp strip 110 along the axial direction, thereby weaving a cylindrical bamboo cage.

[0071] The bamboo cage weaving machine provided in this application can solve the problem of low efficiency in manual bamboo cage weaving. The weaving mechanism 3 divides multiple warp strips 110 arranged in a circular ring into a first ring 130 and a second ring 140. The inner diameter of the first ring 130 and the second ring 140 alternately changes under the action of the weaving mechanism 3. The ring feeding mechanism 2 takes out the weft rings 120 one by one, and the ring transport mechanism 4 feeds the weft rings 120 between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140 to weave a cylindrical bamboo cage.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 are mainly used to clamp the corresponding warp strip 110 in the radial direction of the annular seat 31 and drive it to move in the radial direction of the annular seat 31. Both the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 can include a clamping hand 321 and a telescopic drive member 322. The telescopic drive member 322 drives the clamping hand 321 to move radially along the annular seat 31. Specifically, the clamping hand 321 can be a pneumatic finger; the telescopic drive member 322 can be a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, a telescopic pneumatic cylinder, etc.

[0073] Understandably, when the ring mechanism 4 drives the weft ring 120 to move between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140, when the weft ring 120 approaches the annular seat 31, in order to avoid the first clamping member 32 or the second clamping member 33 interfering with the movement of the weft ring 120 (i.e. blocking the movement path of the weft ring 120), both the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 can release the clamped warp strip 110 to make room for movement. After the weft ring 120 passes the annular seat 31, the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 can re-clamp the corresponding warp strip 110.

[0074] During the above process, after the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 release the warp 110 they are clamping, each warp 110 will fall and stack together due to gravity. After the weft ring 120 passes through the ring seat 31, the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 may clamp the warp 110 incorrectly, affecting the subsequent passage of the weft ring 120.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the annular seat 31 includes a first annular seat 311 and a second annular seat 312 arranged parallel to each other along the length direction of the base 1. The first annular seat 311 is close to the ring feeding mechanism 2. A plurality of first clamping members 32 and a plurality of second clamping members 33 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the first annular seat 311. A plurality of third clamping members 34 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the second annular seat 312. The third clamping members 34 can move radially along the second annular seat 312 to clamp or release the warp strip 110. The weft ring 120 is in the ring feeding mechanism 4. When the weft loop 120 approaches the first ring seat 311 under the action of the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33, the multiple first clamping members 32 and the multiple second clamping members 33 release the clamped warp 110 to allow the weft loop 120 to pass through the first ring seat 311; when the weft loop 120 moves between the first ring seat 311 and the second ring seat 312, the multiple first clamping members 32 and the multiple second clamping members 33 re-clamp the corresponding warp 110, and the multiple third clamping members 34 release the clamped warp 110 to allow the weft loop 120 to pass through the second ring seat 312.

[0076] With the above-described structure, multiple third clamping members 34 are arranged one-to-one with multiple first clamping members 32 and multiple second clamping members 33 along the length of the base 1. When the weft ring 120 passes through the first ring seat 311, multiple warp slivers 110 can be clamped by the multiple third clamping members 34 on the second ring seat 312 to maintain the annular structure formed by the multiple warp slivers 110. When the weft ring 120 moves between the first ring seat 311 and the second ring seat 312, the multiple first clamping members 32 and multiple second clamping members 33 can re-clamp the multiple warp slivers 110 one-to-one from the annular structure formed by the multiple warp slivers 110, thereby avoiding clamping the wrong warp slivers 110. The multiple third clamping members 34 release the clamped warp slivers 110 to make room, and after the weft ring 120 passes through the second ring seat 312, the multiple third clamping members 34 can re-clamp the multiple warp slivers 110 one-to-one.

[0077] The third clamping member 34 is mainly used to clamp the corresponding warp strip 110 radially in the second ring seat 312 and drive it to move radially along the ring seat 31. Of course, as Figure 5 As shown, the third clamping member 34 may also include a clamping hand 321 and a telescopic drive member 322, which drives the clamping hand 321 to move radially along the annular seat 31.

[0078] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the annular seat 31 also includes multiple connecting rods 313. The two ends of the multiple connecting rods 313 are respectively connected to the inner sides of the first annular seat 311 and the second annular seat 312, connecting the first annular seat 311 and the second annular seat 312, and ensuring that the axes of the first annular seat 311 and the second annular seat 312 are parallel to the length direction of the base 1. Of course, in a preferred embodiment, the axis of the first annular seat 311 coincides with the axis of the second annular seat 312.

[0079] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cage mechanism 3 also includes a support frame 35, and multiple connecting rods 313 are connected to the support frame 35. The annular seat 31 is mounted on the base 1 through the support frame 35.

[0080] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 are provided with positioning members 36 at their driving ends. The positioning members 36 enable the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member to accurately clamp the corresponding warp strip 110.

[0081] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the positioning member 36 includes a connecting plate 361, a telescopic drive member 322, and a positioning baffle 362. The connecting plate 361 is disposed on the gripper 321 (the gripper 321 of the first gripper 32 and the gripper 321 of the second gripper 33), the telescopic drive member 322 is disposed on the connecting plate 361, and the positioning baffle 362 is disposed on the driving end of the telescopic drive member 322. The telescopic drive member 322 can drive the positioning baffle 362 to move radially along the annular seat 31. The positioning baffle 362 and the gripper 321 (the gripper 321 of the first gripper 32 and the gripper 321 of the second gripper 33) have a preset distance in the length direction of the base 1, and the positioning baffle 362 is located on the side of the annular seat 31 facing the ring feeding mechanism 2.

[0082] With the above structure, before weaving, the telescopic drive 322 in the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 causes the clamping hand 321 to move radially along the annular seat 31, and the telescopic drive 322 in the positioning member 36 causes the positioning baffle 362 to move radially along the annular seat 31, so that the positioning baffle 362 and the clamping hand 321 correspond one-to-one in the length direction of the base 1. Then, the end of each warp 110 near the ring feeding mechanism 2 is placed against the positioning baffle 362, so that the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 can accurately clamp the corresponding warp 110. Then, the telescopic drive 322 in the positioning member 36 causes the positioning baffle 362 to move, so as to make room for the movement of the weft ring 120 and facilitate the passage of the subsequent weft ring 120.

[0083] And, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, since the preset distance between each positioning baffle 362 and each clamping hand 321 is consistent, after the corresponding warp strip 110 abuts against the positioning baffle 362, the clamping position of each clamping hand 321 on the warp strip 110 is consistent, so that the end of the woven bamboo cage is smooth, reducing subsequent trimming.

[0084] Among them, such as Figure 4 As described above, the gripping hands 321 of the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 both move radially within the annular side of the annular seat 31, and the positioning baffle 362 of the positioning member 36 also moves radially within the annular side, which means that each warp sliver 110 needs to be inserted into the annular side of the annular seat 31. Of course, it is understood that in another possible implementation, the gripping hands 321 and the positioning baffle 362 can also move radially outside the annular seat 31, which means that each warp sliver 110 needs to be arranged along the annular side of the annular seat 31.

[0085] Of course, in another embodiment, the positioning element 36 can also be a detection sensor, etc.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the ring delivery drive assembly 21 includes a lifting drive 211, a lateral drive 212, and a hook 22. The lateral drive 212 is mounted on the base 1, the lifting drive 211 is mounted on the drive end of the lateral drive 212, and the hook 22 is mounted on the drive end of the lifting drive 211. Under the action of the lifting drive 211 and the lateral drive 212, the hook 22 can hook the weft rings 120 one by one from the placement position 23 and deliver them to the ring transport mechanism 4.

[0087] In the above structure, the lifting drive component 211 is mainly used to drive the hook 22 to move vertically, while the lateral drive component 212 is mainly used to drive the hook 22 to move horizontally. Both the lifting drive component 211 and the lateral drive component 212 can be linear drive components. For example, a linear drive component can be a pulley assembly, a hydraulic cylinder assembly (or a pneumatic cylinder assembly), a ball screw assembly, etc. Specifically, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the lifting drive component 211 can be a hydraulic cylinder assembly (or a pneumatic cylinder assembly), and the lateral drive component 212 can be a pulley assembly.

[0088] Among them, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a clamping drive 213 is provided on the drive end of the lifting drive 211, and a clamping member 214 is connected to the drive end of the clamping drive 213. After the hook 22 hooks the weft ring 120, the clamping member 214, under the action of the clamping drive 213, presses the weft ring 120 against the hook 22 to prevent the weft ring 120 from falling off due to shaking during movement. Similarly, the clamping drive 213 can be a hydraulic cylinder assembly (or a pneumatic cylinder assembly).

[0089] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the ring feeding mechanism 2 also includes a placement platform 231 and multiple limiting posts 232; the placement platform 231 is disposed on the base 1; the multiple limiting posts 232 are all disposed above the placement platform 231, and the placement platform 231 and the multiple limiting posts 232 surround to form a placement position 23, and there is a preset gap between the bottom end of the limiting post 232 and the placement platform 231 for a single weft ring 120 to pass through; the placement platform 231 is provided with a pawl 233 and a pawl drive member 234, and the pawl 233 can drive the weft ring 120 placed on the placement platform 231 to leave the placement position 23 through the preset gap under the action of the pawl drive member 234.

[0090] Multiple weft rings 120 can be stacked on the placement position 23 formed by the placement platform 231 and multiple limiting posts 232. The weft rings 120 are moved away from the placement position 23 one by one through the preset gap by the claw 233. After the weft rings 120 leave the placement position 23, they are picked up by the claw 22 in the ring delivery drive component 21.

[0091] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the pawl 233 includes a feeding part 2331 and a telescopic drive member 322. The telescopic drive member 322 is disposed at the drive end of the pawl drive member 234, and the feeding part 2331 is disposed at the drive end of the telescopic drive member 322. The feeding part 2331 can move along a first direction under the action of the telescopic drive member 322 and move along a second direction under the action of the pawl drive member 234. The first direction and the second direction intersect (of course, preferably, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular).

[0092] In the above structure, the telescopic drive 322 drives the material-pulling part 2331 to extend along the first direction, and then the material-pulling part 2331 moves along the second direction under the action of the claw drive 234 to pull the weft ring 120 away from the placement position 23 along the second direction; when the material-pulling part 2331 returns to its original position along the second direction, the telescopic drive 322 can be used to retract the material-pulling part 2331 along the first direction to avoid mutual interference.

[0093] The pawl driver 234 can be a linear drive assembly, specifically, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the pawl drive component 234 is a pulley assembly.

[0094] like Figure 7 As shown, the ring delivery mechanism 2 also includes a main frame 24, and the placement platform 231, multiple limit posts 232 and lifting drive component 211 are all mounted on the base 1 through the main frame 24.

[0095] In one embodiment, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the ring-operating mechanism 4 includes a linear drive assembly 41 and a weft ring clamping member 42. The linear drive assembly 41 is arranged along the length direction of the base 1, and the weft ring clamping member 42 is disposed at the drive end of the linear drive assembly 41. The weft ring clamping member 42 can clamp the weft ring 120 and move back and forth along the length direction of the base 1 under the action of the linear drive assembly 41.

[0096] In the above structure, the linear drive assembly 41 is mainly used to drive the weft ring clamping member 42 to move back and forth along the length direction of the base 1. The linear drive assembly 41 can be a pulley assembly, a hydraulic cylinder assembly (or a pneumatic cylinder assembly), a ball screw assembly, etc.; specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the linear drive assembly 41 is a pulley assembly. The weft ring clamp 42 is mainly used to clamp or release the weft ring 120, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the weft ring clamp 42 includes a clamping hand 321 and a telescopic hydraulic cylinder (of course, a telescopic air cylinder can also be used).

[0097] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the ring mechanism 4 includes two parallel linear drive components 41. Each of the two linear drive components 41 is provided with a weft ring clamping member 42. An annular seat 31 is disposed between the two linear drive components 41. The weft ring 120 is clamped by the two weft ring clamping members 42. The annular seat 31 is provided with clearance notches 314 at positions corresponding to the two weft ring clamping members 42 to allow the weft ring clamping members 42 to pass through.

[0098] In the above structure, the two weft ring clamping members 42 respectively clamp the two ends of the weft ring 120, which makes the movement of the weft ring 120 between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140 formed by the warp strip 110 more stable. The clearance notch 314 mainly facilitates the passage of the weft ring clamping members 42 through the annular seat 31 and avoids mutual interference.

[0099] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the bamboo cage weaving machine also includes a cage withdrawal mechanism 5 disposed on the base 1. The cage withdrawal mechanism 5 and the ring feeding mechanism 2 are located at opposite ends of the base 1 along its length. The cage withdrawal mechanism 5 includes a cage withdrawal drive assembly 51, a third ring seat 52, and multiple fourth clamping members 53. The cage withdrawal drive assembly 51 is disposed on the base 1. The third ring seat 52 is disposed at the drive end of the cage withdrawal drive assembly 51 and can move back and forth along the length of the base 1 under the action of the cage withdrawal drive assembly 51. Multiple fourth clamping members 53 are circumferentially disposed on the third ring seat 52 and can move radially along the third ring seat 52 to clamp or release the warp strips 110. After the bamboo cage is woven, the third ring seat 52 can move away from the ring feeding mechanism 2 under the action of the cage withdrawal drive assembly 51, causing the multiple fourth clamping members 53 to drive the bamboo cage to move, so that multiple warp strips 110 can exit from the ring seat 31 along the length of the base 1.

[0100] In the above structure, after the bamboo cage is woven (i.e., when the number of weft loops 120 between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140 is sufficient), multiple fourth clamping members 53 clamp the corresponding warp strips 110. The first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 release the clamped warp strips 110. The cage retraction drive assembly 51 drives the third ring seat 52 to move away from the ring feeding mechanism 2 along the length direction of the base 1, so that multiple fourth clamping members 53 drive the corresponding warp strips 110 (i.e., the woven bamboo cage) to move, so that multiple warp strips 110 exit the ring seat 31 along the length direction of the base 1. Then, after multiple fourth clamping members 53 release the clamped warp strips 110, the woven bamboo cage can be taken out from the base 1.

[0101] Of course, it is understandable that, such as Figure 3As shown, the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 clamp the warp 110 at the end close to the ring feeding mechanism 2, and the fourth clamping member 53 clamps the warp 110 at the end away from the ring feeding mechanism 2. The two ends of the warp 110 are clamped respectively, so that the warp 110 can be in a stretched and taut state, which can facilitate the movement of the weft ring 120 between the first ring 130 and the second ring 140.

[0102] The retraction drive assembly 51 is mainly used to drive the third ring seat 52 to move along the length direction of the base 1. The retraction drive assembly 51 can be a linear drive assembly, such as a pulley assembly, a hydraulic cylinder assembly (or a pneumatic cylinder assembly), a ball screw assembly, etc. Figure 11 The retraction drive assembly 51 is a ball screw assembly. The fourth clamping member 53 can have the same structure as the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33, which will not be described in detail here.

[0103] Preferably, the axis of the third ring seat 52 coincides with the axis of the first ring seat 311, and the multiple fourth clamping members 53 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple first clamping members 32 and the multiple second clamping members 33 in the length direction of the base 1.

[0104] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, the weaving cage mechanism 3 also includes an annular seat moving assembly 37 disposed on the base 1. The annular seat 31 can move back and forth along the length direction of the base 1 under the action of the annular seat moving assembly 37. The unwinding mechanism 5 also includes multiple guide members 54 disposed on the side of the third annular seat 52 away from the ring feeding mechanism 2. The multiple guide members 54 are arranged in an annular shape, and the multiple guide members 54 correspond one-to-one with multiple fourth clamping members 53 in the length direction of the base 1. Among them, multiple warp strips 110 enter the base 1 through the corresponding guide members 54. Multiple first clamping members 32 and multiple second clamping members 33 clamp one end of the multiple warp strips 110 in a corresponding manner. Under the action of the annular seat moving assembly 37, the multiple warp strips 110 are driven to move along the length direction of the base 1 toward the ring feeding mechanism 2. The multiple fourth clamping members 53 are used to clamp the end of the multiple warp strips 110 away from the ring feeding mechanism 2.

[0105] In the above structure, the annular seat moving assembly 37 and the guide 54 are mainly used to arrange multiple warp strips 110 in a ring along the length of the base 1 before weaving. When the warp strips 110 are fed, the annular seat moving assembly 37 drives the annular seat 31 to move, so that the annular seat 31 approaches the unwinding mechanism 5, and then the warp strips 110 are inserted into the base 1 one by one through the corresponding guide 54. Since the multiple guides 54 correspond one-to-one with the multiple first clamping members 32 and the multiple second clamping members 33, under the action of the guides 54, the multiple warp strips 110 can be configured into a ring structure, and the multiple warp strips 110 correspond one-to-one with the multiple first clamping members 32 and the multiple second clamping members 33, so as to facilitate the clamping of the first clamping members 32 and the second clamping members 33. Then, the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 drive the warp 110 to move until the ring seat moving assembly 37 drives the ring seat 31 to approach the ring feeding mechanism 2, and the multiple fourth clamping members 53 clamp the ends of the multiple warp 110 away from the ring feeding mechanism 2.

[0106] Of course, in the preferred embodiment, each warp 110 extends into the base 1 through the corresponding guide 54. After one end of each warp 110 abuts against the positioning baffle 362 of the weaving cage mechanism 3, it is clamped by the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33.

[0107] The annular seat moving assembly 37 is mainly used to drive the annular seat 31 to move along the length direction of the base 1. The annular seat moving assembly 37 can be a linear drive assembly, such as a pulley assembly, a hydraulic cylinder assembly (or a pneumatic cylinder assembly), a ball screw assembly, etc. Figure 6 The ring seat moving assembly 37 is a pulley assembly.

[0108] like Figure 11 The cage removal mechanism 5 also includes a cage removal support frame 55, a third ring seat 52 and multiple guide members 54 are all disposed on the cage removal support frame 55, and the cage removal support frame 55 is disposed at the drive end of the cage removal drive assembly 51.

[0109] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the bamboo cage weaving machine also includes a fourth ring seat 61 and multiple guide wheel sets 62; the fourth ring seat 61 is located at one end of the base 1 near the cage withdrawal mechanism 5, and the fourth ring seat 61 corresponds to the third ring seat 52 in the length direction of the base 1; multiple guide wheel sets 62 are circumferentially arranged on the fourth ring seat 61, and the multiple guide wheel sets 62 correspond one-to-one with multiple fourth clamping members 53 in the length direction of the base 1, for guiding the warp strips 110 into the base 1.

[0110] In the above structure, multiple guide wheel sets 62 correspond one-to-one with multiple first clamping members 32 and multiple second clamping members 33 in the length direction of the base 1, and the guide wheel sets 62 can guide the warp strip 110 into the base 1.

[0111] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles described in this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
