Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical cable manufacturing equipment technology, and specifically to a device for flipping and loading metal tape onto a reel for optical cable sheaths. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, metal tape for optical cable sheathing is typically produced by winding the metal tape onto cylindrical metal reels and placing them horizontally for easy storage and transportation. During production, the metal reels need to be flipped vertically and the metal tape coil transferred to the optical cable sheathing production equipment. Currently, most metal reels are manually flipped and loaded. Due to the considerable weight of the reels, multiple people are required to operate them simultaneously, resulting in a significant labor input and potential safety hazards. While suction cup robots are used for gripping, their gripping stability is poor and they are prone to damaging the metal tape. Human intervention is still necessary during the flipping and alignment processes. Furthermore, because the metal tape is a thin roll, both suction cup robots and manual operation carry the risk of unwinding. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a metal tape flipping and loading device for optical cable sheaths. This device can realize the flipping, automatic centering, and loading operations of heavy-duty metal tape reels, reducing labor costs and safety risks.

The limiting drive component includes a limiting cylinder and a telescopic stop. The telescopic stop is located on the base and corresponds to the position of the limiting gap. The limiting cylinder is driven by the telescopic stop to drive the telescopic stop to extend or retract in the direction of the limiting gap, causing the forward limiting plate to flip and contact or disengage from the side of the second slider, thereby restricting or allowing the second slider to move on the slide rail away from the first slider.

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described through specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] See Figures 1-7 As shown, a metal tape flipping and loading device for optical cable sheathing includes a base 1, a flipping disc 2, a flipping mechanism, a limiting mechanism, and a loading mechanism. The base 1 serves as the main support for the entire device, and the flipping disc 2, flipping mechanism, limiting mechanism, and loading mechanism are all mounted on the base 1. The following is a detailed description of each component:

[0033] The tilting tray 2 is used to load the metal strip roll 3 for production. First, the tilting tray 2 is placed horizontally and the metal strip roll 3 is placed coaxially on it. Then, the bottom surface of the tilting tray 2 is connected to the tilting mechanism so that the tilting tray 2 can be tilted from the horizontal state to the vertical state.

[0034] The flipping mechanism includes a slide rail 4, a first sliding member, a second sliding member, a sliding drive member, and a connecting member. The slide rail 4 is mounted on the base 1. To improve stability, it is preferable to use a pair of slide rails 4 arranged parallel to each other on the base 1. Each slide rail 4 has a first sliding member and a second sliding member slidably mounted on it. Both the first and second sliding members are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the flipping disk 2 via the connecting member. The sliding drive member is mounted on the base 1 and is driven by the first sliding member. During the flipping process, the second sliding member needs to remain stationary relative to the first sliding member on the slide rail 4. Therefore, a limit mechanism is also connected to the second sliding member.

[0035] The first sliding member includes a first slider 5 and a first slide block 6. The second sliding member includes a second slider 7 and a second slide block 8. The first slider 5 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 4 and driven by the sliding drive member. The first slide block 6 is located on the top of the first slider 5. The second slider 7 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 4 and is connected to a limit member. The second slide block 8 is located on the top of the second slider 7. The connecting member includes a connecting rod 9 and a rotating seat 10. Rotating seats 10 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the flip disk 2 along the direction of the slide rail 4. The rotating seat 10 located near the second slide block 8 is directly rotatably connected to the second slide block 8. The rotating seat 10 located near the first slide block 6 is rotatably connected to the first slide block 6 through the connecting rod 9. The sliding drive component includes a sliding motor 11, a screw 12, a nut 13, and a drive linkage 14. The base 1 has drive seats 15 at both ends along the direction of the slide rail 4. One end of the screw 12 passes through the drive seat 15 near the first slider 5 and is driven to the sliding motor 11 through a coupling 16. The other end is rotatably mounted on the drive seat 15 near the second slider 7. The nut 13 is threaded onto the screw 12 and is driven to the first sliding component, i.e., the first slide block 6, through the drive linkage 14.

[0036] When the tilting disc 2, which contains the metal strip roll 3 and is in a horizontal position, needs to be tilted to a vertical position, the first slide block 6 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 10 on the tilting disc 2 via a connecting rod 9. The second slide block 8 is directly rotatably connected to the rotating seat 10 on the tilting disc 2. The limiting action first acts on the second slider 7 to restrict its movement on the slide rail 4 in a direction away from the first slider 5, thus forcing the second slider 7 to remain stationary relative to the first slider 5. Subsequently, the sliding motor 11 starts and drives the screw 12 to rotate through the coupling 16, causing the nut 13 on the screw 12 to move axially toward the second slider 7. Through the transmission of the driving connecting rod 14, the first slide block 6 and the first slider 5 move together toward the second slider 7 on the slide rail 4. Since the second slider 7 and the second slide block 8 remain stationary relative to the first slider 5 and the first slide block 6, the tilting disc 2 can be gradually tilted from a horizontal position to a vertical position as the first slider 5 and the first slide block 6 gradually move.

[0037] The aforementioned limiting element is included in the limiting mechanism, which also includes a limiting drive element. To restrict the sliding of the second slider 7, the limiting element is positioned on the side of the base 1 where the second slider 7 is located. The limiting drive element is mounted on the base 1 and driven by the limiting element, allowing it to act on the second slider 7, thus restricting or allowing the second slider 7 to move on the slide rail 4. For ease of description, the direction from the first slider 5 to the second slider 7 on the slide rail 4 is defined as the forward direction, and vice versa. During the flipping process, the second slider 7 needs to be restricted from moving forward on the slide rail 4 to remain stationary relative to the first slider 5. This means the rotational connection between the flipping disk 2 and the second slide block 8 constitutes the fixed side of the flipping disk 2 during flipping, and the rotational connection with the connecting rod 9 constitutes the moving side of the flipping disk 2 during flipping.

[0038] The limiting component with an upper limit function in the forward direction includes a forward limiting plate 17 and a forward limiting block 18. The forward limiting plate 17 is located on the side of the second slider 7 facing away from the first slider 5 and is rotatably connected to the surface of the base 1 via a hinge 19. The forward limiting block 18 is located on the side of the forward limiting plate 17 facing away from the second slider 7 so that the forward limiting plate 17 can be inclined to create a limiting gap 20 between the two. The limiting drive component includes a limiting cylinder 21 and a telescopic stop 22. The telescopic stop 22 is located on the base 1 and corresponds to the position of the limiting gap 20. The limiting cylinder 21 is driven to extend or retract the telescopic stop 22 in the direction of the limiting gap 20, causing the forward limiting plate 17 to flip and contact or disengage from the side of the second slider 7, thereby restricting or allowing the second slider 7 to slide along the slide rail 4 in the forward direction. To facilitate the insertion of the telescopic stop 22 into the limiting gap 20, a wedge-shaped structure 23 is preferably formed on the end face of the telescopic stop 22 facing the limiting gap 20. When the flip plate 2 needs to be flipped, the limiting cylinder 21 drives the telescopic stop 22 to extend towards the limiting gap 20, so that the wedge-shaped structure 23 on the end face of the telescopic stop 22 inserts into the limiting gap 20 to flip up the forward limiting plate 17 to abut against the side of the second slider 7, thereby restricting the second slider 7 from moving forward on the slide rail 4. When the flip plate 2 is flipped to a vertical state, the restriction on the second slider 7 can be released according to subsequent production needs. The limiting cylinder 21 drives the telescopic stop 22 to retract the wedge-shaped structure 23 on its end face from the limiting gap 20. After the forward limiting plate 17 loses the effect of the wedge-shaped structure 23, it disengages from the side of the second slider 7 and flips in the opposite direction to lean against the forward limiting block 18, thereby allowing the second slider 7 to move forward on the slide rail 4.

[0039] After the rotating disc 2 is rotated to a vertical position, the metal strip roll 3 on the rotating disc 2 can be transferred to the optical cable sheath production equipment via the upper plate mechanism, and automatically centered and tightened. Before this, the rotating disc 2, along with the metal strip roll 3, needs to be moved along the slide rail 4 towards the optical cable sheath production equipment in the vertical position. To ensure the smooth movement of the rotating disc 2, the first slider 5 and the second slider 7 need to be synchronized. Therefore, an electromagnet 24 is provided on the side of the second slide block 8 facing the first slide block 6, and a distance sensor 25 is provided at the end of the slide rail 4 near the second slider. When the distance sensor 25 senses that the first slide block 6 has moved close to the second slide block 8, the electromagnet 24 on the second slide block 8 is energized and attracts the first slide block 6 to keep the two moving synchronously.

[0040] In this embodiment, the upper tray mechanism with automatic centering, loading, and tightening functions includes a centering upper tray component and fasteners. The centering upper tray component is disposed through the center of the flip tray 2 and has an upper tray gap 26 between it and the inner wall of the metal strip roll 3. Fasteners are also coaxially disposed inside the centering upper tray component. The metal strip unloading device on the optical cable sheath production equipment docks with the centering upper tray component and is inserted into the upper tray gap 26 to transfer the metal strip roll 3 to the metal strip unloading device. Subsequently, the fasteners tighten the metal strip unloading device to make the metal strip unloading device tightly adhere to the inner wall of the metal strip roll 3.

[0041] Specifically, the centering upper plate includes a fixed cylinder 27, a centering cylinder 28, and multiple springs 29. Since the existing metal strip unloading equipment uses a sleeve structure at the joint, the centering cylinder 28 is also designed as a sleeve structure. The fixed cylinder 27 is fixed to the center of the side of the rotating disc 2 where the metal strip roll 3 is not located, with its opening facing the rotating disc 2. The centering cylinder 28 penetrates the center of the rotating disc 2 and is movably embedded in the fixed cylinder 27 with its opening facing the fixed cylinder 27, allowing the centering cylinder 28 to move away from or towards the fixed cylinder 27 along its axial direction. To prevent the centering cylinder 28 from detaching from the rotating disc 2, a lap edge 30 extends radially from the open end of the centering cylinder 28 and abuts against the side of the rotating disc 2. Multiple springs 29 are disposed between the fixed cylinder 27 and the centering cylinder 28, with their ends abutting against or fixed to the bottom of the fixed cylinder 27 and the centering cylinder 28, respectively. The metal strip roll 3, mounted on the tilting disc 2, is coaxially arranged with the centering cylinder 28, forming the aforementioned upper disc gap 26 between them and the outer wall of the centering cylinder 28. When the tilting disc 2 moves the metal strip roll 3 along the slide rail 4 to dock with the metal strip unloading device, the sleeve structure of the metal strip unloading device inserts into the upper disc gap 26, causing the inner wall of the metal strip roll 3 to contact the outer wall of the sleeve structure of the metal strip unloading device. As the tilting disc 2 continues to move, the sleeve structure of the metal strip unloading device continuously abuts against the centering cylinder 28, causing the centering cylinder 28 to move towards the fixed cylinder 27 and compress the spring 29, until the metal strip roll 3 completely disengages from the centering cylinder 28 and is entirely transferred onto the sleeve structure of the metal strip unloading device.

[0042] The fasteners include a fastening motor 31, a fastening shaft 32, and a fastening cap 33. The fastening motor 31 is located inside the fixed cylinder 27. The fastening shaft 32 passes through the center of the centering cylinder 28, with one end inside the centering cylinder 28 connected to the fastening motor 31 for driving. The other end outside the centering cylinder 28 has the fastening cap 33. After the metal strip roll 3 is completely transferred onto the sleeve structure of the metal strip unloading device, the fastening motor 31 drives the fastening shaft 32 to rotate slowly, causing the fastening cap 33 at the end of the fastening shaft 32 to continuously match and connect with the tensioning end of the metal strip unloading device. Once connected, the fastening motor 31 drives the fastening shaft 32 to rotate rapidly, causing the tensioning end of the metal strip unloading device to tighten quickly through the fastening cap 33, thereby causing the sleeve structure of the metal strip unloading device to tighten and fit against the inner wall of the metal strip roll 3. At this point, the flipping, centering, and tightening operations of the metal strip roll 3 are all completed, and the device will start the return process to process the next metal strip roll 3.

[0043] Upon return, the sliding motor 11 drives the screw 12 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the first slider 5 to move backward along the slide rail 4, along with the second slider 7. This causes the flip plate 2 to also move backward in the opposite direction. At this time, the middle cylinder 28 loses its contact with the metal strip feeding device and moves away from the fixed cylinder 27 under the action of the spring 29 to reset. To prevent the flip plate 2 from moving backward too far on the slide rail 4 and causing the reserved position on the slide rail 4 to be unable to allow the flip plate 2 to return to a horizontal state, a limiting element with an upper limit function in the backward direction, namely the backward limiting post 34, is added to the limiting mechanism. The aforementioned backward limiting post 34 is provided on the side of the second slider 7 facing the first slider 5 when the first slide 6 is in contact with the electromagnet 24, to limit the movement of the second slider 7 on the slide rail 4 in the direction close to the first slider 5, i.e., in the backward direction. At the same time, a photoelectric sensor 35 is also provided on the surface of the machine base 1 at the position corresponding to the first slider 5 when the first slide 6 is in contact with the electromagnet 24, preferably at the position corresponding to the bottom surface of the drive linkage 14.

[0044] When the first slider 5 and the second slider 7 slide backward until the drive linkage 14 covers the photoelectric sensor 35 and the second slider 7 abuts against the backward limiting post 34, the electromagnet 24 is de-energized, releasing the adsorption connection between the first slide block 6 and the second slide block 8. At this time, the limiting cylinder 21 drives the telescopic stop block 22 to extend the wedge structure 23 and insert it into the limiting gap 20, causing the forward limiting plate 17 to flip up and return to the working state. Under the restriction of the backward limiting post 34, the second slider 7 no longer moves backward on the slide rail 4, thus making the second slide block 8 on the second slider 7 and one side of the flip disk 2 rotatably connected to the second slide block 8 remain stationary relative to the first slider 5 and the first slide block 6. The first slider 5, driven by the sliding motor 11, drives the first slide block 6 to continue to move backward until the flip disk 2 returns to a horizontal state, so as to place the next metal strip roll 3.

[0045] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
