Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent control, and in particular to an automatic production device and method for filter core winding. BACKGROUND

[0002] Industrial filter cores are widely used in chemical and food production processes to purify industrial wastewater, thereby achieving the purpose of graded reuse of wastewater.

[0003] The current industrial filter core is formed by stacking multiple membrane layers on a center pipe, and then welding the guide cloth to the center pipe at a welding station. The reverse osmosis membrane and coarse mesh are stacked at a stacking station to form a membrane assembly. At a membrane winding station, the guide cloth is unfolded layer by layer, and the membrane assembly is inserted layer by layer, covered with guide cloth, and glued to form a membrane mesh cloth guide cloth assembly. The guide cloth is finally transported to a winding station for winding to produce a filter core. All the above processes, such as center pipe feeding and positioning, membrane insertion, cloth unfolding, and cloth smoothing, are completed by manual operation, which can result in inconsistent quality of the produced filter core and complex process, causing waste of human resources. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides an automatic production device and method for filter core winding, which avoids the tediousness of manual operation, utilizes mechanical structures to realize automatic functions, fundamentally reduces labor costs, improves product quality and consistency, and has a simple structure, facilitating popularization and application.

[0005] The present application can be implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automatic production device for filter core winding includes a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm, a cloth unfolding mechanism, a cloth smoothing mechanism, a membrane insertion guide mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a discharging mechanism connected to the end of the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm,

[0007] Under the drive of the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm, the center pipe is first transported to the workbench by the feeding mechanism to perform guide cloth assembly operation. Then, the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm is used to unfold the guide cloth on the center pipe from the front to the back. The guide cloth unfolded to the back is then smoothed by the cloth smoothing mechanism. The last membrane is inserted into the corresponding guide cloth by the membrane insertion guide mechanism. Finally, the discharged mechanism is used to transport the wound filter core to the next station to realize the winding and production of the filter core.

[0008] Further, the cloth unfolding mechanism adopts a symmetrical structure and is arranged above the left and right sides of the guide cloth. The left and right sides of the guide cloth are clamped and pasted in sequence. Under the drive of the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm, the cloth is unfolded from the front to the back.

[0009] The smoothing mechanism adopts a swing arm structure and is set above the center of the guide cloth. Driven by a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, it moves from the root to the end of the guide cloth to smooth it out.

[0010] Both the feeding and unloading mechanisms adopt a C-shaped gripper structure, and under the drive of a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, they complete the feeding of the central tube and the unloading of the wound filter element.

[0011] Furthermore, the fabric turning mechanism includes two identical tape conveying mechanisms, each equipped with a gripper mechanism. Each tape conveying mechanism is arranged in a W-shape, allowing the tape to be conveyed along the W-shape. The gripper mechanism is used to clamp or release the guide fabric located in the gap below the W-shape.

[0012] Furthermore, the tape conveying mechanism includes an unwinding roller and a take-up roller, with three conveyor rollers spaced apart between the unwinding roller and the take-up roller, such that the tape between the unwinding roller and the take-up roller is arranged in a W-shape, with two conveyor rollers at the bottom and the remaining conveyor roller sharing the top position with the unwinding roller and the take-up roller. The tape on the two lower conveyor rollers is used to contact the guide cloth.

[0013] One end of the take-up roller is connected to the output shaft of the motor via a synchronous belt. The motor drives the take-up roller to rotate via the synchronous belt, which in turn drives the various conveyor rollers and unwind rollers to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt to be conveyed in a W-shape.

[0014] The gripper mechanism includes a finger cylinder located in the gap below the W-shaped structure. Each of the two grippers of the finger cylinder is fitted with a conveyor roller. Each conveyor roller extends toward the center of the guide fabric and is fitted with multiple O-rings at intervals. The two grippers, together with the corresponding conveyor rollers, are controlled by the finger cylinder to open or close, thereby achieving elastic clamping or release of the guide fabric.

[0015] The finger cylinders of the two gripper mechanisms control the corresponding grippers to open, and then the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the tape on the two lower conveyor rollers of the two gripper mechanisms to stick to the guide cloth and drive the guide cloth to move. Then the finger cylinders control the corresponding grippers to close, so as to achieve elastic clamping of the guide cloth. Finally, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the guide cloth to move and perform the cloth flipping operation.

[0016] Furthermore, the two tape conveying mechanisms are respectively disposed on the inner sides of the two vertical plates of the Π-shaped bracket, and the cloth smoothing mechanism is disposed on the horizontal plate of the Π-shaped bracket.

[0017] A slide cylinder is provided on the outer side of each vertical plate. The moving slide of the slide cylinder is connected to the finger cylinder of the corresponding gripper mechanism through the first connecting plate, so as to drive the corresponding gripper mechanism to move up and down.

[0018] Furthermore, the smoothing mechanism includes two support plates mounted on the horizontal plate of the Π-shaped bracket and a first cylinder. The first cylinder is positioned between the two support plates, with its piston rod parallel to the two support plates. The free end of the piston rod is connected to the support plate via a rotating hinge. The central connection of the first vertical rod in the bracket is such that both ends of the first vertical rod are rotatably connected to the free ends of two support plates. The axial length of the second vertical rod in the bracket matches the width of the guide cloth, and is used to contact the guide cloth;

[0019] Driven by the extension and retraction of the first cylinder The bracket can be rotated to a specified angle or returned to its original position. The second vertical rod in the support contacts the guide cloth, and then a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the cloth smoothing operation; or... The second vertical rod in the support detaches from the guide cloth and returns to its original position.

[0020] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes two large C-shaped grippers, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the horizontal plate in the T-shaped bracket.

[0021] The feeding mechanism includes two small C-shaped grippers, which are located at both ends of the second connecting plate. The second connecting plate is connected to the vertical plate of the T-shaped bracket by a second cylinder.

[0022] The membrane insertion guiding mechanism includes a guide plate, with its two ends connected to the outer sides of two large C-shaped grippers, and V-shaped guide grooves provided on its upper and lower edges.

[0023] A production method based on the automated production apparatus for filter element winding described above includes the following steps:

[0024] Step 1: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the feeding mechanism to the central tube placement station, and uses the feeding mechanism to clamp the central tube and transport it to the workbench to perform the guide cloth assembly operation.

[0025] Step 2: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the fabric-flipping mechanism to the center tube station where the guide fabric is assembled. First, the finger cylinder controls the two grippers and the conveyor rollers to open. The two tape conveyor mechanisms control the tape to be conveyed along the W shape, updating the tape on the two conveyor rollers below the W-shaped structure, sticking the guide fabric and lifting it up. Then, the finger cylinder controls the two grippers and the conveyor rollers to merge together to hold the two sides of the guide fabric. Finally, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the held guide fabric to move, completing the fabric-flipping operation from the front to the back.

[0026] Step 3: The piston rod is extended by the first cylinder in the cloth-patterning mechanism, driving... The bracket is rotated to the specified angle, so that The second vertical rod of the support contacts the reverse side of the guide cloth, and then the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the second vertical rod to move from the root of the guide cloth to the end to complete the cloth smoothing operation;

[0027] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the flow-guiding fabrics have been turned over and smoothed.

[0028] Step 5: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the membrane insertion guide mechanism to move, so that the V-shaped guide groove of the guide plate is placed into the root of the last guide cloth, so as to guide the last membrane.

[0029] Step 6: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the unloading mechanism to the wound filter element station, and the unloading mechanism clamps the filter element and transports it to the next station.

[0030] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows:

[0031] 1. The finger gripper mechanism is set in the center of the W-shaped synchronous belt pulley structure, which can hold the guide cloth that is being conveyed and adhered to by the tape. Combined with the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, the entire fabric turning operation is performed. With its ingenious design and simple structure, it simulates the behavior of manual fabric turning and realizes the automated fabric turning operation.

[0032] 2. The first cylinder drives the swing arm structure to simulate manual cloth handling and realize automated cloth handling operation. The feeding and unloading mechanisms adopt C-shaped gripper structures to realize the feeding of the central tube and the unloading of the filter element. They are integrated into the end of the multi-free robotic arm, which expands the application range of the multi-free robotic arm, improves the intelligence level of the automated production robot, realizes the three-dimensional operation of filter element winding, and is more suitable for the intelligent needs of modern production.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0041] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this invention provides an automated production device for filter element winding, including a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. At the end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm are connected a fabric-turning mechanism 1, a fabric-smoothing mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a feeding mechanism 4, and a membrane insertion guide mechanism 5. Driven by the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, the feeding mechanism 3 first clamps the central tube and transports it to the worktable to perform the guide cloth assembly operation; then, the fabric-turning mechanism 1 performs a fabric-turning operation on each of the multiple guide cloths assembled on the central tube from front to back; then, the fabric-smoothing mechanism 2 smooths out each of the guide cloths turned to the back; then, the membrane insertion guide mechanism 5 guides the last membrane sheet to be inserted into the corresponding guide cloth; finally, the feeding mechanism 3 clamps the wound filter element and transports it to the next station, realizing the filter element winding process. In this way, using a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm as a motion platform, the fabric turning mechanism, fabric smoothing mechanism, film insertion guiding mechanism, feeding mechanism, and unloading mechanism are driven to move in sequence to complete the automated operation of feeding, turning, smoothing, film insertion guiding, and unloading. This integrates multiple functions into one, improves the intelligence level of automated production robots, realizes three-dimensional operation of filter element winding, and is more suitable for the intelligent needs of modern production.

[0042] Specifically as follows:

[0043] The fabric flipping mechanism 1 adopts a symmetrical structure, with the left and right sides of the guide fabric positioned above each other. It successively attaches and clamps the left and right sides of the guide fabric, and under the drive of a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, it completes the fabric flipping operation from the front to the back. Two identical tape conveying mechanisms can be designed, each equipped with a gripper mechanism 101. Each tape conveying mechanism adopts a W-shaped structure, allowing the tape to be conveyed along the W-shape. The gripper mechanism 101 is used to clamp or release the guide fabric located in the empty position below the W-shaped structure.

[0044] The tape conveying mechanism includes an unwinding roller 102 and a take-up roller 103. Three conveyor rollers 104 are spaced apart between the unwinding roller 102 and the take-up roller 103, so that the tape between the unwinding roller 102 and the take-up roller 103 is arranged in a W shape, with two conveyor rollers 104 at the bottom and the remaining conveyor roller 104 sharing the top with the unwinding roller 102 and the take-up roller 103, so that the tape on the two lower conveyor rollers 104 can contact the guide cloth. One end of the take-up roller 103 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 106 through a synchronous belt 105. A synchronous belt pulley structure can be used for transmission. In this way, the motor 106 drives the take-up roller 103 to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby driving the rotation of each conveyor roller 104 and the unwinding roller 103, so that the tape is conveyed along the W shape.

[0045] The gripper mechanism 101 includes a finger cylinder 1011 located in the gap below the W-shaped structure. Each of the two grippers of the finger cylinder 1011 is fitted with a conveyor roller. Each conveyor roller extends toward the center of the guide cloth and is fitted with multiple O-rings 1012 at intervals. For example, three O-rings are fitted on one conveyor roller at intervals, and two O-rings are fitted on another conveyor roller at intervals. Due to the elasticity and friction of the O-rings 1012, when the O-rings 1012 are fitted into the corresponding grooves on the conveyor rollers, the polymer functional guide cloth will not be stuck due to excessive clamping force, nor will it detach from the conveyor roller due to insufficient clamping force. Thus, by controlling the two grippers together with the corresponding conveyor rollers to open or close through the finger cylinder 1011, the elastic clamping or release of the guide cloth can be achieved.

[0046] When performing the fabric flipping operation, the finger cylinders 1011 of the two gripper mechanisms 101 first control the corresponding grippers to open, and then the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the tape on the two lower conveyor rollers of the two gripper mechanisms 101 to stick to the guide fabric and drive the guide fabric to move. Then, the finger cylinders 1011 control the corresponding grippers to close, so as to achieve elastic clamping of the guide fabric. Finally, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the guide fabric to move and perform the fabric flipping operation.

[0047] Considering the connection and cooperation with the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, we can add a Π-shaped bracket 6, and set the two tape conveying mechanisms on the inner side of the two vertical plates in the Π-shaped bracket 6, while the cloth smoothing mechanism is set on the horizontal plate of the Π-shaped bracket 6. This is more conducive to the cloth flipping mechanism clamping the left and right sides of the guide cloth, while the cloth smoothing mechanism can smooth the entire guide cloth.

[0048] To prevent the gripper mechanism from interfering with the tape conveying mechanism's adhesive application, a slide cylinder 107 is installed on the outer side of each vertical plate. The sliding slide of the slide cylinder 107 is connected to the finger cylinder of the corresponding gripper mechanism via a first connecting plate, which drives the corresponding gripper mechanism to move up and down. This allows the gripper mechanism 101 to move up and down as needed. Additionally, a photoelectric sensor 108 is installed below the tape conveying mechanism to detect whether there is a guide cloth between the two conveying rollers below, thereby better controlling the up and down movement of the gripper mechanism 101 and the gripping operation.

[0049] The smoothing mechanism 2 adopts a swing arm structure and is positioned above the center of the guide cloth. Driven by a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, it moves from the root to the end of the guide cloth to smooth it out. Specifically, it includes two support plates 201 mounted on the horizontal plate of the Π-shaped bracket 6 and a first cylinder 202. The first cylinder 202 is positioned between the two support plates 201, with its piston rod parallel to the two support plates 201. The free end of the piston rod is connected to a rotating hinge 204. The first vertical rod in the bracket 203 is centrally connected, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the free ends of the two support plates 201, respectively. The axial length of the second vertical rod in the bracket 203 matches the width of the guide cloth, and is used to contact the guide cloth; thus, the extension and retraction movement of the first cylinder 202 can drive... The bracket can be rotated to a specified angle or returned to its original position. The second vertical rod in bracket 203 contacts the guide cloth, and then a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the cloth smoothing operation; or... The second vertical rod in bracket 203 detaches from the guide cloth and returns to its original position.

[0050] Since the two ends of the first vertical rod are rotatably connected to the corresponding support plates, and the center is rotatably connected to the first cylinder 202 through a rotating hinge, when the piston rod of the first cylinder 202 extends, the distance between the first vertical rod and the horizontal plate of the Π-shaped bracket 6 remains unchanged, which will inevitably push the first vertical rod to rotate, thereby driving the entire... The bracket 203 rotates so that the second vertical rod can contact the guide cloth, facilitating the cloth smoothing operation.

[0051] Both the feeding mechanism 4 and the unloading mechanism 3 adopt a C-shaped gripper structure. Driven by a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, they complete the feeding of the central tube and the unloading of the wound filter element. Since their functions are similar, they can be mounted together on the T-shaped bracket 7, which, together with the Π-shaped bracket 6, is connected to the end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. Alternatively, a turntable can be used to connect the T-shaped bracket 7 and the Π-shaped bracket 6, with the end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm connected to the turntable. This simplifies the motion control of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, thereby reducing the overall control complexity of the automated production robot.

[0052] The unloading mechanism 3 includes two large C-shaped grippers, which are respectively set at both ends of the horizontal plate in the T-shaped bracket 7. The loading mechanism 4 includes two small C-shaped grippers, which are set at both ends of the second connecting plate. The second connecting plate is connected to the vertical plate of the T-shaped bracket 7 by a second cylinder. In this way, the second connecting plate is driven to move up and down by the second cylinder 401 to avoid interference with the unloading mechanism during loading. The large C-shaped grippers and small C-shaped grippers can be implemented using existing gripper structures, such as using a gripper cylinder to drive a linkage mechanism to clamp or release the gripper.

[0053] The membrane insertion guiding mechanism 5 includes a guide plate, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the outer sides of two large C-shaped grippers. V-shaped guide grooves are provided on the upper and lower edges of the guide plate to facilitate insertion into the root of the flow guide cloth and to better guide the membrane.

[0054] The present invention also provides a production method based on the automated production device for filter element winding described above, specifically including the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the feeding mechanism to the central tube placement station. The feeding mechanism clamps the central tube and transports it to the workbench to perform the guide cloth assembly operation. If welding is used to assemble the guide cloth one by one into the axial direction of the central tube, it can be completed by another device.

[0056] Step 2: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the fabric-flipping mechanism to the center tube station where the guide fabric is assembled. First, the finger cylinder controls the two grippers to open together with the conveyor rollers. The two tape conveyor mechanisms control the tape to be conveyed along the W shape, updating the tape on the two conveyor rollers below the W-shaped structure, sticking to the guide fabric and lifting it up to provide space for the grippers to close. Then, the finger cylinder controls the two grippers to close together together with the conveyor rollers to hold the two sides of the guide fabric. Finally, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the held guide fabric to move, completing the fabric-flipping operation from the front to the back.

[0057] Step 3: The piston rod is extended by the first cylinder in the cloth-patterning mechanism, driving... The bracket is rotated to the specified angle, so that The second vertical rod of the support contacts the reverse side of the guide cloth, and then the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the second vertical rod to move from the root of the guide cloth to the end, completing the smoothing operation. Since the smoothing mechanism and the flipping mechanism are both set on the Π-shaped support, the smoothing mechanism can be started while the flipping mechanism is clamping and moving the guide cloth. At this time, the guide cloth can be placed on a plane first, and the clamping and smoothing can be carried out at the same time. After smoothing, the finger cylinder of the flipping mechanism is used to release the clamping of the guide cloth. Finally, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the flipping mechanism and the smoothing mechanism to move to the next station.

[0058] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the flow-guiding fabrics have been turned over and smoothed.

[0059] Step 5: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the membrane insertion guide mechanism to move, so that the V-shaped guide groove of the guide plate is placed into the root of the last guide cloth, so as to guide the insertion of the last membrane. Then, the membrane insertion is completed with the help of the membrane insertion device.

[0060] Step 6: The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm drives the unloading mechanism to the wound filter element station. The unloading mechanism clamps the filter element and transports it to the next station. At this time, the two small C-shaped grippers of the loading mechanism can avoid interference with the execution of the unloading mechanism by being driven by the second cylinder.

[0061] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples. Various changes or modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
