[0074] The left and right ends of the lower clamp 41 are hinged to one end of the right clamp 43 and the left clamp 44 respectively. It is defined that the hinge axis between the lower clamp 41 and the left clamp 44 is the first hinge axis, and the hinge axis between the lower clamp 41 and the right clamp 43 is the second hinge axis. The end face of the other end of the left clamp 44 is inclined, and the inclined surface is upward. The other end face of the right clamp 43 is inclined, and the inclined surface is downward. The inclined surface of the right clamp 43 cooperates with the inclined surface of the right clamp 43. A socket 45 is installed on one end face of the lower clamp 41. In order to prevent the socket 45 from interfering with the cylindrical structure, a third cavity is opened on the lower clamp 41, and the socket 45 is installed in the third cavity.

[0075] A first cavity is provided at both left and right ends of the lower clamp 41, and the fourth motor 421 is installed in the first cavity. The axis of the output shaft of the fourth motor 421 is parallel to the axis of the first hinge shaft, and the output end of the fourth motor 421 is connected to the input end of the second reducer 422. The output end of the second reducer 422 is installed with a third gear 423, and the third gear 423 is meshed with one of the second transition gears 425. The fourth gear 424 is installed on the first hinge shaft / second hinge shaft, and the other second transition gear 425 is meshed with the fourth gear 424.

[0076] A second cavity is provided inside the end of the left hoop 44 away from the lower hoop 41, and a clamping frame 6 is provided on the outside of the end of the left hoop 44 away from the lower hoop 41 along its circumference. The thickness of the end of the right hoop 43 away from the lower hoop 41 is adapted to the internal thickness of the clamping frame 6, and a groove running through the top and the end is provided at the upper end of the right hoop 43 placed in the clamping frame 6; the third motor 51 is installed in the second cavity of the left hoop 44, and the axis of the output shaft of the third motor 51 is parallel to the axis of the output shaft of the fourth motor 421. A fifth gear 52 is installed at the output end of the third motor 51, and the fifth gear 52 is meshed with one of the third transition gears 57. The sixth gear 53 is installed at the power input end of the screw lift 54, and another third transition gear 57 is meshed with the sixth gear 53. The two third transition gears 57 are all installed in the second cavity. After the screw of the screw lift 54 ​​passes through the second cavity, it is placed in the clamping frame 6, and the upper end of the screw is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 55, the other end of the first connecting rod 55 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 56, and the other end of the second connecting rod 56 is hinged to the inner wall of the clamping frame 6.

The fourth motor 421 drives the left clamp 44 and the right clamp 43 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the annular cylinder.

[0079] The working principle of the locking assembly 5 is:

[0080] like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the power of the third motor 51 is transmitted through the fifth gear 52, the third transition gear 57 and the sixth gear 53 to drive the screw of the screw lift 54 ​​to extend or retract, thereby driving the first connecting rod 55 and the second connecting rod 56 to move, so as to tighten or release the right hoop 43. Specifically: when the screw is retracted, the third hinge shaft is driven to move gradually downward and inward, pressing the right hoop 43 to realize the locking function of the right hoop 43; when the screw is extended, the third hinge shaft is driven to move gradually upward and outward, loosening the right hoop 43, realizing the releasing function of the right hoop 43, and ensuring that the right hoop 43 will not interfere with the locking assembly 5 when opening and closing.

The friction roller 31 is driven to rotate by the second gear 38, and the friction force of the friction roller 31 is used to drive the annular cylinder to rotate.

[0088] The advantages of using the bevel gear commutator 34 and the adapter shaft 35 are that the power of the single first motor 33 can be synchronously transferred to the two first reducers 36, thereby ensuring the synchronous rotation of the first gears 37 on the two first reducers 36;

[0089] The friction roller 31 supports the annular cylinder and drives the annular cylinder to roll through friction. The setting of the second gear 38 ensures that the driving force of the first motor 33 can be synchronously transmitted to the two friction rollers 31.

[0090] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the rotation of the annular cylinder, the two friction rollers 31 and the three first transition shafts 39 are all located in a columnar body formed by the connecting line of the two mounting plates. The distance between the two mounting plates is the same as the thickness of the annular cylinder, that is, a clamping groove is formed between the two mounting plates and the two friction rollers 31, so that the annular cylinder is clamped inside, so that when rotating, the annular cylinder will not shift along the axial direction of the friction roller 31.

[0091] like Fig.10As shown, in order to further ensure the stability of the rotation of the annular cylinder and prevent the annular cylinder from axially moving during rotation, a group of limit members are arranged on the periphery of each mounting frame 32, and the limit member group includes two limit members respectively arranged on both sides along the axial direction of the annular cylinder, and the limit members include a support seat 10, a screw rod 11, a horizontal roller 12 and a slider; the support seat 10 is installed on the mounting base 1, and a slide groove is arranged on the side of the support seat 10 close to the friction roller 31, and the slider is slidably connected in the slide groove, and the horizontal roller 12 is installed on the slider, and one end of the screw rod 11 passes through the support seat 10 and is rotatably connected to the slider, and the screw rod 11 is threadedly connected to the support seat 10, and the axis of the screw rod 11 is parallel to the axis of the annular cylinder, and the horizontal rollers 12 in the two limit members are relatively arranged. Before the annular cylinder rotates, the screw rod 11 is first controlled to rotate so that the slider slides in the slide groove, thereby changing the distance between the two horizontal rollers 12, thereby completing the axial limitation of the annular cylinder.

[0092] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure safety, a cover plate is installed on the mounting plate close to the second gear 38, and the second gear 38 is completely covered by the cover plate. A through hole is provided on the cover plate for the output end of the first reducer 36 to pass through.

[0093] In order to realize automatic power-off and power-on of the opening and closing assembly and the locking assembly on the clamp device, the fourth motor 421 and the third motor 51 are both electrically connected to the socket 45 .

[0094] like Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, in order to realize automatic power on and power off of the socket 45, an automatic docking plug device 2 is provided, the second motor 22 is installed on the mounting base 1, and the axis of the output shaft is arranged horizontally, the output end of the second motor 22 is connected to the power input end of the linear module 23, the docking plug 21 is installed on the power output end of the linear module 23, and the socket 45 is located on the movement path of the docking plug 21, and its working principle is that the second motor 22 drives the linear module 23 to run, and then drives the docking plug 21 to do linear reciprocating motion, so as to realize automatic docking or disconnection between the docking plug 21 and the socket 45 on the lower hoop 41, and the docking plug 21 adopts an explosion-proof plug;

[0095] The advantages of using the linear module 23 are: the linear module 23 is a closed structure, has good dustproof performance, is regularly lubricated by a grease nozzle, and is easy to maintain.

[0096] The first motor 33 , the second motor 22 , and the socket 45 are all electrically connected to a control system. The control system controls the operation of the first motor 33 and the second motor 22 , and controls the operation of the third motor 51 and the fourth motor 421 through the socket 45 .

[0097] like Fig.10As shown, in order to prevent the cylinder from shaking during transportation or under the action of irresistible external forces, four fixing devices are arranged on the annular cylinder, and the four fixing devices are evenly distributed on the two end faces of the annular cylinder. Two fixing devices on each end face are distributed on both sides of the annular cylinder, and are respectively used to connect the mounting frame 32 and the annular cylinder to achieve the fixation of the mounting frame 32 and the annular cylinder; the fixing device includes a basket bolt 7 and two fixing columns, one of which is installed on the end face of the annular cylinder, and the other fixing column is installed on the mounting frame 32, and the two ends of the basket bolt 7 are respectively hung on the two fixing columns, and the locking degree of the mounting frame 32 and the annular cylinder can be controlled by controlling the length of the basket bolt 7.

[0098] like Fig.11 As shown, the outer wall of the cylinder may be deformed during production and transportation. In order to adapt to the size difference caused by this deformation and offset the circular runout error after the left clamp 44 and the right clamp 43 are closed, the connection mode between the mounting frame 32 and the fixed base 9 is set to be hinged, so that the mounting frame 32 can swing within a certain angle range. While improving the supporting stability of the friction roller 31 on the annular cylinder, the circular runout error after the left clamp 44 and the right clamp 43 are closed can be offset, and a limit assembly is added. The limit assembly includes two limit columns 8, which are respectively located on both sides of the radial direction of the hinge axis of the mounting frame 32 and the fixed base 9, one for limiting the downward rotation angle of the mounting frame 32, and the other for limiting the rotation angle of the mounting frame 32 away from the cylinder; if the mounting frame 32 is a hollow structure, the limit column 8 can be equivalently replaced by a limit rod.

[0099] In order to quickly adjust the orientation of the clamp device 4 and speed up the power-on efficiency of the clamp device 4, a position interface is set on the lower clamp 41, and a sensor for identifying the position interface is set on the mounting base 1. When rolling or long-term storage is required, the socket 45 is disengaged from the docking plug 21; when the annular cylinder needs to be opened and closed, the position interface is rolled to the sensor position, and then the socket 45 is docked with the docking plug 21 to automatically open and close the annular cylinder.

[0100] In order to realize manual control or control by other external equipment when the first motor 33, the second motor 22, the third motor 51 and the fourth motor 421 fail or lose power unexpectedly, the first motor 33, the second motor 22, the third motor 51 and the fourth motor 421 are all double-shaft motors. When a failure or a power failure occurs, the motor shaft can be rotated by an external device to realize automatic loading and unloading of the drum and operation of the rolling equipment.

[0101] In order to protect and isolate the cylinder from vibration, felt is arranged on the inner side of the annular cylinder; another advantage of the felt is that it can be compressed within a certain range, so that the annular cylinder can clamp the cylinder with a slight change in outer diameter.

[0102] In order to avoid other components installed on the periphery of the cylinder, a plurality of avoidance gaps are arranged inside the annular cylinder to ensure that there is no interference with the cylinder during normal loading and opening and closing.

[0103] In order to facilitate lifting and assembly, a plurality of lifting rings are provided on the peripheral side of the mounting base 1, and at least one lifting ring is provided at each corner.

[0104] When using the automatic drum loading and unloading and rolling equipment, generally at least two groups are used in coordination, all the equipment is installed on an external mobile device, and the control system controls the operation of all the automatic drum loading and unloading and rolling equipment.

[0105] The advantage of setting the first transition shaft 39, the second transition gear 425 and the third transition gear 57 is that the size of the first gear 37, the second gear 38, the third gear 423, the fourth gear 424, the fifth gear 52, the sixth gear 53, etc. can be reduced, and the rotation speed of the friction roller 31 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0106] The lower clamp 41, the left clamp 44 and the right clamp 43 are made of high-strength aluminum profiles to ensure the load-bearing capacity while reducing the weight of the equipment.

[0107] The lower clamp 41, the left clamp 44 and the right clamp 43 are provided with weight-reducing notches.

[0108] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0109] Install multiple cylinder automatic loading and unloading and rolling devices on the external mobile device in sequence, turn on the second motor 22, and drive the docking plug 21 to move through the linear module 23, so that the docking plug 21 is inserted into the socket 45;

[0110] The third motor 51 is turned on, and the power of the third motor 51 is transmitted to the screw of the screw lift 54 ​​through the fifth gear 52, the third transition gear 57 and the sixth gear 53, so that the screw extends and releases the right hoop 43; the two fourth motors 421 are turned on, and the power of the fourth motor 421 is transmitted to the first hinge shaft and the second hinge shaft through the third gear 423, the second transition gear 425 and the fourth gear 424, and the first hinge shaft and the second hinge shaft drive the left hoop 44 and the right hoop 43 to rotate, so that the left hoop 44 and the right hoop 43 are opened, and then the cylinder to be transported is placed on the lower hoop 41, and the fourth motor 421 is driven to reverse, so that the left hoop 44 and the right hoop 43 are closed, and the third motor 51 is controlled to reverse, and the power of the third motor 51 is transmitted to the screw of the screw lift 54 ​​through the fifth gear 52, the third transition gear 57 and the sixth gear 53, so that the screw retracts, presses the right hoop 43, and completes the fixation of the cylinder to be transported;

[0111] When flipping is required, the first motor 33 is started, and the power of the first motor 33 is transmitted to the second gear 38 through the bevel gear commutator 34, the adapter shaft 35, the first reducer 36 and the first gear 37. The friction roller 31 is driven to rotate by the second gear 38, and the friction force of the friction roller 31 is used to drive the annular cylinder to rotate.

[0117] 3. The docking plug 21 on the mounting base 1 is translated to complete the power-on of the clamp device 4. At the same time, the locking assembly 5 locks the right clamp 43 to prevent the right clamp 43 from being displaced during the barrel loading process.

[0118] 4. The locking assembly 5 releases the right hoop 43 through the operation of the control system, and the opening and closing mechanism opens the right hoop 43 and the left hoop 44 through the operation of the control system;
