[0034] As Figure 1 shown, it is the automatic production equipment 100 for hair curlers shown in an embodiment of the present application. To avoid obscuring the core key components, Figure 1Only the key components of the automatic hair curler production device 100 are shown, which should not constitute a limitation to the scope of protection of this patent.

[0035] Exemplarily, the automatic hair curler production device 100 includes: a frame, a controller, a hair curler feeding mechanism 10, a hair piece feeding mechanism 20, a positioning and clamping mechanism 30, a material clamping manipulator 40, a welding mechanism 50, a transfer mechanism 60, and some other auxiliary devices.

[0036] The frame is the load-bearing body of the entire device (abbreviation for the automatic hair curler production device 100, the same below), used to load and fix the controller, the hair curler feeding mechanism 10, the hair piece feeding mechanism 20, the positioning and clamping mechanism 30, the material clamping manipulator 40, the welding mechanism 50, and the transfer mechanism 60, ensuring the overall structure of the device is stable and compact.

[0037] The controller acts as the control center of the device, and realizes the automatic operation of the device by sending instructions to the above-mentioned functional units such as the hair curler feeding mechanism 10. For example, the controller can be any one of a PLC, a microcontroller computer, a numerical control system, etc.

[0038] The hair curler feeding mechanism 10 is used to convey the hair curler 200 to the processing station; the hair piece feeding mechanism 20 is arranged on the opposite side of the hair curler feeding mechanism 10, and is used to convey the hair piece 300 to the processing station. The hair curler 200 is a cylindrical body made of plastic material, serving as the carrier of the hair piece 300 and providing the strength required for curling hair. The hair piece 300 is a sheet made of plastic material, and is specifically composed of a base sheet and a plurality of regularly arranged branches fixed on one side of the base sheet. After the hair piece 300 is installed on the hair curler 200, the base sheet covers the outer periphery of the entire hair curler 200, so the branches also cover the outer periphery of the entire hair curler 200, thereby being able to wind and restrict the hair to form a wavy shape.

[0039] The positioning and clamping mechanism 30 is arranged in the processing station, and is used to support and position the hair curler 200 and the hair piece 300; the material clamping manipulator 40 is arranged at intervals on the opposite side of the hair piece feeding mechanism 20, and is used to move the hair piece 300 into the positioning and clamping mechanism 30; the welding mechanism 50 is arranged in the processing station, and is used to weld and fix the hair piece 300 on the outside of the hair curler 200 to form a hair curler 400; and the transfer mechanism 60 is arranged outside the processing station, and is used to send the hair curlers 200 into the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 one by one and complete the blanking of the assembled hair curlers 400.

[0040] In summary, implementing the technical solution of this embodiment will have the following beneficial effects: The automatic production equipment 100 of the curling iron is applied to the automated production and processing of the curling iron 400. During operation, the curling barrel feeding mechanism 10 automatically supplies the curling barrel 200 to the processing station, and the curling piece feeding mechanism 20 automatically supplies the curling piece 300 to the processing station. Finally, the curling piece 300 is welded and fixed on the curling barrel 200 by the welding mechanism 50 to obtain the curling iron 400. Specifically, first, the clamping manipulator 40 clamps the curling piece 300 from the curling piece feeding mechanism 20 and moves it to the positioning and clamping mechanism 30. Then, the transfer mechanism 60 moves the curling barrel 200 into the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 within the processing station and places it above the middle of the curling piece 300. Immediately afterwards, the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 operates to wrap the curling piece 300 around the outer circumference of the curling barrel 200 and bring the two opposite free ends of the curling skin closer. Then, the welding mechanism 50 performs hot melt welding on the two opposite free ends, so that the curling piece 300 is fixed and covered on the outer circumference of the curling barrel 200 to obtain the curling iron 400. Finally, the transfer mechanism 60 takes out the curling iron 400 from the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 to complete the blanking. Thus, the entire processing process of one curling iron 400 is completed. Compared with the prior art, the automatic production equipment 100 of the curling iron in this solution can fully automate the entire processing process of the curling iron 400 without human intervention, saving the labor intensity of workers and labor costs, with a high degree of automation, greatly improving the production and processing efficiency, and significantly enhancing the production capacity and economic benefits. At the same time, each mechanical component is closely coordinated, ensuring that the quality of each curling iron 400 product is good and the consistency is high.

[0041] Optionally, the above curling barrel feeding mechanism 10 can adopt a vibrating disk feeding mechanism, etc. The curling piece feeding mechanism 20 adopts a cutting mechanism, etc. The cutting mechanism cuts the originally rolled curling piece 300 into a rectangular curling piece 300 with a designed length, and the curling piece 300 can just cover the entire outer circumference of the curling barrel 200.

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 includes a first fixing component 31, a second fixing component 32 and an insertion rod component 33. The first fixing component 31 and the second fixing component 32 are arranged side by side and are spaced to form a receiving cavity. The insertion rod component 33 is used to insert the curling roller 200, and the insertion rod component 33 is located in the middle of the receiving cavity. The material clamping manipulator 40 clamps the cut curling sheet 300 from the curling sheet feeding mechanism 20 and pulls it to the first fixing component 31 and the second fixing component 32. The first fixing component 31 and the second fixing component 32 can temporarily support and fix the curling sheet 300. At this time, the curling sheet 300 is directly below the curling roller 200; then the insertion rod component 33 drives the curling roller 200 to descend, and the curling roller 200 presses the curling sheet 300 to enter the receiving cavity together, forming a state in which the curling sheet 300 is pre-wrapped outside the curling roller 200, so as to facilitate subsequent welding and sealing.

[0043] For example, in some embodiments, the insertion rod assembly 33 includes a first lifting drive, a first lifting and moving unit, and an insertion rod 331, wherein the first lifting and moving unit is drivingly connected to the first lifting drive, and the insertion rod 331 is drivingly connected to the first lifting and moving unit and can extend into or withdraw from the accommodating cavity. During operation, the first lifting drive drives the first lifting and moving unit to move, and the first lifting and moving unit can drive the insertion rod 331 to move downward, thereby driving the curling roller 200 to enter the accommodating cavity, so that the curling roller 200 presses the curling sheet 300 into the accommodating cavity together, forming a pre-assembly effect of the two.

[0044] Optionally, the first lifting drive member may be but is not limited to a motor, and correspondingly the first lifting moving unit may be but is not limited to a screw-nut pair, the motor is connected to the screw, and the insert rod 331 is installed on the nut and extends horizontally.

[0045] In order to ensure that the curling roller 200 descends smoothly in the accommodating chamber, and the curling piece 300 is better wrapped around the outer periphery of the curling roller 200, the positioning clamping mechanism 30 further includes an elastic lifting assembly 34, which is arranged in the accommodating chamber, and the elastic lifting assembly 34 includes a lifting rod, an elastic member and a lifting block, the lifting block is arranged at the upper end of the lifting rod, and the elastic member is arranged on the lifting rod. When working, under the action of the downward pressure of the plunger assembly 33, the lifting block will follow the plunger 331 and the curling roller 200 to descend together in the accommodating chamber. During the descent process, the lifting block is always supported at the bottom of the curling piece 300 and the curling roller 200 to support and position the two. When the curling piece 300 is welded and processed, the plunger 331 rises and resets. At this time, the elastic member releases the elastic force autonomously and can automatically drive the lifting block to rise and reset, so as to participate in the processing flow of the next curling rod 400, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In addition, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 further includes a first clamping component 35 and a second clamping component 36. The first clamping component 35 is disposed above the first fixing component 31, and the second clamping component 36 is disposed above the second fixing component 32. The first clamping component 35 and the second clamping component 36 can approach or move away from each other. When the curling barrel 200 presses down the curling piece 300 into a preset position inside the accommodating cavity, the curling piece 300 is basically completely wrapped around the outside of the curling barrel 200. At this time, the two opposite free ends of the curling piece 300 are still in a separated state. At this time, the first clamping component 35 and the second clamping component 36 move closer to each other. The first clamping component 35 and the second clamping component 36 push the two opposite free ends of the curling piece 300 to gather and contact, so as to facilitate the welding mechanism 50 to weld and fix the two free ends, ensuring that the curling piece 300 is reliably fixed outside the curling barrel 200.

[0047] For example, in some embodiments, the first clamping component 35 includes a first clamping driving member and a first clamping piece, and the first clamping piece is drivingly connected to the first clamping driving member; the second clamping component 36 includes a second clamping driving member and a second clamping piece, and the second clamping piece is drivingly connected to the second clamping driving member. The second clamping piece and the first clamping piece can approach or move away from each other. During operation, under the instruction of the controller, the first clamping driving member and the second clamping driving member synchronously output stretching power, and the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece will synchronously move closer to each other. The first clamping piece and the second clamping piece push the two opposite free ends of the curling piece 300 to slowly gather and contact, so that the welding mechanism 50 can perform welding operations. The entire action has a fast response speed and high precision, and can ensure the subsequent welding quality.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 Since the curling piece 300 needs to be pulled to the processing station by the clamping manipulator 40 after being cut, it is easy to be deflected and laterally displaced during the moving process, which will reduce the positioning accuracy between the curling piece 300 and the curling barrel 200, thereby affecting the subsequent welding process. In view of this, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 includes a correction component 37. The correction component 37 includes a correction driving member 371, a correction pushing block 372 and a correction blocking block 373. The correction driving member 371 is drivingly connected to the correction pushing block 372. The correction pushing block 372 is disposed on one side of the first fixing component 31 and the second fixing member, and the correction blocking block 373 is disposed on the other side of the first fixing component 31 and the second fixing component 32. The correction pushing block 372 can move towards the direction of the correction blocking block 373.

[0049] When the curling piece 300 is pulled into the processing station, the correction driving member 371 pushes the correction push block 372 to extend, and the correction push block 372 pushes the curling piece 300, that is, it produces a position correction effect on the curling piece 300, until the opposite sides of the curling piece 300 respectively abut against the correction push block 372 and the correction stopper 373, and the position correction operation of the curling piece 300 is completed. The entire correction operation has a high speed and a good correction effect, and the curling piece 300 will not be deformed due to excessive squeezing force or the correction effect will not be poor due to insufficient squeezing force.

[0050] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments, the welding mechanism 50 includes a second lifting drive, a second lifting and moving unit and a welding head 51, wherein the second lifting drive is drivingly connected to the second lifting and moving unit, and the second lifting and moving unit is drivingly connected to the welding head 51 to drive the welding head 51 to approach or move away from the positioning clamping mechanism 30. When welding, the second lifting drive drives the second lifting and moving unit to move, and the second lifting and moving unit drives the welding head 51 to descend until it contacts the two opposite free ends of the curling sheet 300, and then the welding head 51 is energized to generate high temperature, and the high temperature heat-melts and adheres the two free ends into one, thereby completing the welding process. The two free ends after hot-melt welding have good bonding properties, high connection strength, and a smooth and smooth connection surface, and a good processing effect.

[0051] Optionally, the second lifting drive member may be but not limited to a cylinder, and the second lifting moving unit may be but not limited to a slider guide module. The welding head 51 is connected to the controller via wires, and can quickly generate high temperature when powered on, and has strong welding processing capability.

[0052] Please continue reading Figure 2 In addition, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the transfer mechanism 60 includes a transfer seat 61, a first transfer robot 62 and a second transfer robot 63. The transfer seat 61 can output a reciprocating power between the hair roller feeding mechanism 10 and the positioning clamping mechanism 30. The first transfer robot 62 and the second transfer robot 63 are respectively arranged on the transfer seat 61. The first transfer robot 62 is used to load the hair roller 200 into the positioning clamping mechanism 30, and the second transfer robot 63 is used to unload the assembled hair roller 400. By designing the first transfer robot 62 and the second transfer robot 63, they can be used to clamp and load the hair roller 200 and unload the assembled hair roller 400, respectively. The two processes of loading the hair roller 200 and unloading the hair roller 400 can be completed at the same time, and there is no interference between the two processes, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency.

[0053] Please continue reading Figure 2, on the basis of the above embodiments, the transfer base 61 includes a base body 611, a slide rail 612 and a sliding seat 613. The base body 611 is provided with an inclined mounting surface, and the slide rail 612 is arranged on the inclined mounting surface and is in an inclined posture, so as to avoid the interference problem between each manipulator and the positioning and clamping mechanism 30 when inserting the curling barrel 200 and removing the curling iron 400.

[0054] The sliding seat 613 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 612 so that the first transfer manipulator 62 and the second transfer manipulator 63 can alternately enter the processing station. The base body 611 is installed on the machine frame and is used for loading and fixing the slide rail 612 and the sliding seat 613. The sliding seat 613 can slide on the base body 611 along the slide rail 612, so as to drive the first transfer manipulator 62 and the second transfer manipulator 63 to alternately enter the processing station. Thus, when loading the curling barrel 200, the curling iron 400 is synchronously unloaded, ensuring the processing efficiency and continuity.

[0055] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, both the first transfer manipulator 62 and the second transfer manipulator 63 include a telescopic cylinder 621, a telescopic block 622, a clamping cylinder 623, a first clamping arm 624 and a second clamping arm 625. The telescopic block 622 is connected to the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 621. The clamping cylinder 623 is arranged on the telescopic block 622. The first clamping arm 624 and the second clamping arm 625 are respectively drivingly connected to the clamping cylinder 623, and the first clamping arm 624 and the second clamping arm 625 can approach or separate from each other. During operation, the telescopic cylinder 621 is used to drive the first clamping arm 624 and the second clamping arm 625 to enter or exit the processing station, so as to insert the curling barrel 200 onto the insertion rod 331 and remove the assembled curling iron 400 to complete the unloading. The clamping cylinder 623 is specifically a two-way cylinder, and the two piston rods are respectively connected to the first clamping arm 624 and the second clamping arm 625 in one-to-one correspondence, so that the first clamping arm 624 and the second clamping arm 625 can approach or separate from each other, realizing the clamping and releasing of the curling barrel 200 and the curling iron 400.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 4, in this solution, after the curling sheet 300 is cut, the first processing action is that the material clamping manipulator 40 pulls the curling sheet 300 into the processing station, so that the curling sheet 300 is placed on the first fixing component 31 and the second fixing component 32. In some embodiments, the material clamping manipulator 40 includes a displacement power component 41, a material clamping seat 42, a material clamping drive component 43, a rotating component 46 and a material clamping plate 47. The displacement power component 41 is drivingly connected to the material clamping seat 42 to move the material clamping seat 42 closer to or away from the curling sheet feeding mechanism 20. The material clamping drive component 43 is arranged on the material clamping seat 42. The material clamping plate 47 is rotatably arranged on the material clamping seat 42 through the rotating component 46. The first end of the material clamping plate 47 is drivingly connected to the material clamping drive component 43, so that the material clamping plate 47 can rotate relative to the material clamping seat 42, and the second end of the material clamping plate 47 can be closed or opened with the material clamping seat 42 to clamp or release the curling sheet 300.

[0057] When taking the material, the displacement power component 41 is used to drive the material clamping seat 42 to move closer to the curling sheet feeding mechanism 20, so that one end of the curling sheet 300 extends into the space between the material clamping seat 42 and the material clamping plate 47. Immediately afterwards, the material clamping drive component 43 acts and pushes the material clamping plate 47 to rotate around the rotating component 46 as the rotation center. The material clamping plate 47 will be closed with the material clamping seat 42 to clamp and fix the extended end of the curling sheet 300. Finally, the displacement power component 41 drives the material clamping seat 42 to reset, and the curling sheet 300 will be carried into the processing station. The way that the material clamping drive component 43 outputs linear power to drive the material clamping plate 47 to rotate and close with the material clamping seat 42 to clamp the curling sheet 300 has lower requirements for the movement space and faster response speed compared with the traditional clamping mechanism and clamping jaws, and can clamp the curling sheet 300 firmly and stably.

[0058] Optionally, the above-mentioned displacement power component 41 is composed of a linear cylinder and a connecting block. The cylinder seat of the linear cylinder is fixed on the machine frame, the piston rod is connected to the connecting block, and the connecting block is installed on the material clamping seat 42. When the linear cylinder acts, it can drive the material clamping seat 42 and the material clamping plate 47 to move closer to the curling sheet feeding mechanism 20 and clamp the curling sheet 300.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 4, for example, in some embodiments, the material clamping drive assembly 43 includes a material clamping driver 431 and a flipping push block 432. The flipping push block 432 is connected to the piston rod of the flipping push block 432. The flipping push block 432 can push the first end of the material clamping plate 47 so that the second end of the material clamping plate 47 closes with the material clamping seat 42. After one end of the curling piece 300 extends between the material clamping seat 42 and the material clamping plate 47, the linear cylinder pushes the flipping push block 432 to extend. The flipping push block 432 will then push the material clamping plate 47 to rotate, causing the end of the material clamping plate 47 away from the flipping push block 432 to rotate downward toward the material clamping seat 42 and close with the material clamping seat 42, completing the clamping and fixing of the curling piece 300.

[0060] Preferably, in order to more easily push the material clamping plate 47 to rotate, the flipping push block 432 is provided with a first inclined surface, and the first end of the material clamping plate 47 forms a second inclined surface in a direction away from the material clamping seat 42. The second inclined surface is adapted to and slidably engaged with the first inclined surface. By using the sliding fit between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, the flipping push block 432 can more easily push the material clamping plate 47 to rotate, with less resistance and the material clamping plate 47 rotating more smoothly and steadily.

[0061] Furthermore, the material clamping drive assembly 43 further includes a guide wheel set, and the guide wheel set is rotatably disposed on the flipping push block 432 and is in rolling contact with the material clamping seat 42. The guide wheel set makes the frictional resistance of the telescopic movement of the flipping push block 432 smaller and the movement smoother.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , for example, in some embodiments, the guide wheel set includes a first wear-reducing guide wheel 44 and a second wear-reducing guide wheel 45. The first wear-reducing guide wheel 44 and the second wear-reducing guide wheel 45 are respectively rotatably disposed on opposite sides of the flipping push block 432 and are both in rolling fit with the material clamping seat 42. In this way, the first wear-reducing guide wheel 44 and the second wear-reducing guide wheel 45 synchronously support opposite sides (such as the left and right sides) of the flipping push block 432, supporting the flipping push block 432 more stably, and thus ensuring that the telescopic movement of the flipping push block 432 is more stable.

[0063] Furthermore, the first end of the material clamping plate 47 forms a bent portion 471 in a direction away from the material clamping seat 42. In the initial state (when the curling piece 300 is not clamped), the bent portion 471 is warped upward and away from the material clamping seat 42, forming a large opening size, which is more conducive to the curling piece 300 extending into the opening. After that, the material clamping plate 47 is driven to rotate, so that the bent portion 471 closes with the material clamping seat 42. At this time, the bent portion 471 can press the curling piece 300 with a larger plane, with a large contact area and thus a large frictional force, having a better clamping effect on the curling piece 300 and being able to prevent the curling piece 300 from falling off during the movement process.

[0064] Please continue to refer toFigure 4 Furthermore, a positioning boss 421 protrudes from the side surface of the material clamping seat 42 opposite to the bending portion 471. The positioning boss 421 can position the position of the hair curling piece 300 extending into the opening, ensuring reliable clamping of the hair curling piece 300 by the material clamping seat 42 and the material clamping plate 47.

[0065] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 46 includes a rotating support plate, a rotating shaft, and an elastic torsion member. The rotating support plate is disposed on the material clamping seat 42, the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed on the rotating support plate, and the elastic torsion member is disposed on the rotating shaft and abuts against the rotating support plate and the material clamping plate 47 respectively. The rotating shaft is fixed to the material clamping seat 42 through the rotating support plate, and the rotating shaft provides a rotation fulcrum function for the material clamping plate 47, so that the material clamping plate 47 can rotate reliably after being driven by the flipping push block 432 to complete the clamping and fixing of the hair curling piece 300. After the hair curling piece 300 is pulled into the processing station, the material clamping driving member 431 drives the flipping push block 432 to retract, and the elastic torsion member releases elastic force on the material clamping plate 47, so that the material clamping plate 47 automatically rotates and resets to release the hair curling piece 300, with a high degree of automation.

[0066] Optionally, the elastic torsion member adopts any one of a torsion spring, a U-shaped spring plate, a U-shaped elastic rod, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the elastic torsion member adopts a torsion spring, which is reliable in use, convenient to install, and easy to obtain.

[0067] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0068] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention patent should be subject to the appended claims.
