[0002] Carbon fiber composite materials are widely used in aerospace and other fields due to their lightweight and high strength advantages. Prepreg is one of the core links of carbon fiber composite materials, and its market size is expanding. Currently, the preparation method of composite material prepreg is to wind the finished product on the reel. Therefore, during the preparation of the prepreg, the raw materials and finished products need to be inserted into the gas expansion shaft at the center of the reel, and then the finished product is produced on a special machine. Due to the high surface performance requirements of carbon fiber composite materials, the end face of the roll needs to be flush during winding. The size of the raw material roll and semi-finished product roll is large, and the weight can reach 300 kg. Due to the special requirements of material performance, the raw material roll and finished product roll must be placed horizontally on the tooling, and cannot be placed vertically. In addition, there are many specifications for the outer diameter of the raw material, semi-finished product and finished product roll.

[0003] Currently, before the prepreg raw material and paper tube are wound, the raw material roll and paper tube are manually inserted into the gas expansion shaft. The gas expansion shaft is inflated manually to make it tight, and then the raw material roll is lifted to the unwinding position. After the winding shaft completes the winding of the semi-finished product and finished product, the semi-finished product and finished product roll need to be manually inflated with the gas expansion shaft, deflated with the gas expansion shaft, and then the roll is taken out. Then the paper tube is manually inserted into the gas expansion shaft, and the paper tube with the gas expansion shaft is transported to the winding station. The above method makes the operation labor intensity of workers relatively large, is easy to hurt the operator, has low work efficiency, high production cost, and has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved in the current composite material prepreg manufacturing process.

Forecasting maintenance, production equipment can also be directly connected to the production line level, factory level, supply chain level and other different levels to realize the cooperation between equipment, and then meet the requirements of intelligent manufacturing of enterprises.

[0103] (2) Shaft penetrating operation:

[0104] (2.1) Moving the roll or paper tube to the shaft penetrating position: the retractable end of the vertical retractable power mechanism 304 goes down and drives the connecting plate 307 to go down, during the downward movement of the connecting plate 307, the line scanning device 310 on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 307 locates the diameter and axis position of the roll or paper tube, at the same time, the retractable ends of a pair of horizontal retractable power mechanisms 308 retract along the axial direction of the roll or paper tube according to the data measured by the line scanning device 310, so that when the pair of positioning jaws 309 go down to the same height as the axis of the roll or paper tube, the pair of positioning jaws 309 are just located on both sides of the roll or paper tube axis, at this time the axis of the shaft penetrating hole 313 on the positioning jaw 309 is collinear with the axis of the roll or paper tube axis;

[0105] (2.2) Inflatable shaft feeding: the AGV car transports the inflatable shaft to be inserted to the roller on the inflatable shaft buffer support frame 405, at this time the roller transports the inflatable shaft, so that the V-shaped groove on the V-shaped limiting block 406 of the inflatable shaft has a inflatable shaft to be inserted, when the support block 411 on the inflatable shaft buffer table base II 407 also has a inflatable shaft to be inserted, at this time the lifting plate lifting power mechanism drives the lifting plate 410 to go up, so that the inflatable shaft above the support block 411 is supported by the support groove on the support block 411, during which the slide rail mechanism 409 can drive the slide table 408 to move horizontally in the radial direction of the inflatable shaft, so that the inflatable shaft is moved to the groove on the inflatable shaft fixing support seat 508 behind it;

[0108] (3.1) Move the roll or paper tube to the shaft removal position: as described in step (2.1), the roll or paper tube to be removed is transported to the predetermined position, that is, the shaft removal position, and the inflatable shaft on the roll or paper tube to be removed is deflated;

[0109] (3.2) Unwinding: the clamping jaw assembly moves to the unwinding position along the linear module 507, the clamping power mechanism 510 drives the through-shaft clamping jaw to shrink and clamp the end of the air expansion shaft in the material roll or paper tube, and then drives the clamping power mechanism 510 to return to the original position, so that the air expansion shaft in the material roll or paper tube can be pulled out. When the pulled-out air expansion shaft moves to the position directly above the air expansion shaft fixing support seat 508 along the linear module 507, the clamping power mechanism 510 drives the through-shaft clamping jaw to stop clamping the pulled-out air expansion shaft. At this time, the pulled-out air expansion shaft naturally falls onto the groove on the air expansion shaft fixing support seat 508. The air expansion shaft on the groove can be collected in the reverse direction according to the above-mentioned step (2.2), so that the pulled-out air expansion shaft is supported on the rollers on the air expansion shaft buffer support frame 405, and the unwinding operation is completed.
