[0036] The automatic yarn hanging machine of this embodiment is composed of a yarn hanging workbench 18, a yarn spindle preparation workbench 15, a multi-axis robot 11, an air compressor 8, an electric controller 9, an inverter 10, a manual operation screen 12, as well as a walking and transporting device, a scissor lift device 4, and a yarn hanging platform steering device.

[0037] The walking and transporting device is composed of a walking transport vehicle 3 and a walking platform. The walking platform can be a flat plate or a leveled ground (such as in this example); two groove-shaped walking tracks 1 (channel steel is used in this example) are set on the walking platform. The walking transport vehicle 3 uses a commercially available walking transport vehicle, and its wheels 2 are placed in the concave grooves of the walking tracks 1 to ensure that its walking direction remains unchanged. The walking tracks 1 are set on the front side of the yarn hanging rack 19.

[0038] In order to ensure that the position of the walking transport vehicle 3 moves accurately each time, a walking transport vehicle positioning component is also set in the walking and transporting device. The walking transport vehicle positioning component is composed of a walking transport vehicle positioning sensor 5 and multiple (the specific quantity needs to be determined according to the total length of the yarn hanging rack and the width of yarn hanging each time) walking transport vehicle positioning induction blocks 21; the walking transport vehicle positioning sensor 5 is set at one end of the walking direction of the walking transport vehicle 3 (in this example, it is set at the upper middle part of the right end face of the walking transport vehicle 3), and the walking transport vehicle positioning induction blocks 21 are evenly arranged on the walking platform (that is, the leveled ground) between the two groove-shaped walking tracks 1 at a certain interval distance (that is: the width of yarn hanging each time).

[0039] The scissor lift device 4 uses a commercially available scissor lift device (including supporting components such as lifting oil cylinders inside), its lower part is set on the top of the walking transport vehicle 3, and its upper part is connected to the yarn hanging platform steering device under the yarn hanging workbench 18.

[0040] The yarn hanging platform steering device is composed of a yarn hanging workbench 18, a yarn hanging platform steering seat plate 6, a yarn hanging platform steering plain bearing 16, more than two (two are used in this example) yarn hanging workbench support beams 7, and a yarn hanging platform steering positioning component.

[0041] The yarn hanging platform steering seat plate 6 is set on the top of the scissor lift device 4, the yarn hanging platform steering plain bearing 16 is set in the middle of its top, and the yarn hanging workbench support beams 7 are respectively set on both sides of the yarn hanging platform steering seat plate 6, and together with the yarn hanging platform steering plain bearing 16, they support the lower part of the yarn hanging workbench 18.

[0042] The yarn-hanging platform steering positioning component is arranged at the front side of the left part between the yarn-hanging platform steering seat plate 6 and the yarn-hanging workbench 18, and is composed of a yarn-hanging platform steering positioning sleeve 27, a yarn-hanging platform steering positioning spring 28 and a yarn-hanging platform steering positioning pin shaft 29. The yarn-hanging platform steering positioning sleeve 27 is a cylinder (or a section of round pipe), and a handle groove 31 for accommodating the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning pin shaft handle 30 on the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning pin shaft 29 is arranged in the upper middle part on its right side; the lower end of the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning sleeve 27 is fixed on the yarn-hanging platform steering seat plate 6, the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning spring 28 is installed in the lower part of its inner cavity, and the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning pin shaft 29 with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part (forming a step) is installed on the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning spring 28. At the same time, positioning holes 22 for accommodating the upper end (i.e., the smaller end) of the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning pin shaft 29 are opened at the part of the yarn-hanging workbench 18 corresponding to the upper end of the yarn-hanging platform steering positioning pin shaft 29 and at the part of the yarn-hanging workbench 18 that is symmetric to it after rotating 180°.

[0043] The yarn-hanging workbench 18 arranged at the upper part of the yarn-hanging platform steering device has an air compressor 8, an electric controller 9 and an inverter 10 respectively arranged on the left part of its upper surface; a yarn spindle preparation platform is arranged in the middle, and the yarn spindle preparation platform is composed of a yarn spindle preparation workbench 15 (rectangular shape), more than three (in this example, four yarn spindle preparation workbench support feet 17 are used, which are respectively arranged at the four corners under the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15) yarn spindle preparation workbench support feet 17 and multiple bottom layer yarn spindle positioning columns 26.

[0044] A yarn spindle preparation workbench positioning device (used for positioning the position of the yarn spindle preparation platform on the yarn-hanging workbench 18 or the position on the whole machine) is also arranged in the yarn spindle preparation workbench support feet 17. The yarn spindle preparation workbench positioning device is composed of a yarn spindle preparation workbench positioning sleeve 32 and a yarn spindle preparation workbench positioning cone 33.

[0045] Multiple bottom layer yarn spindle positioning columns 26 are arranged on the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15, and are distributed in an n×m (i.e., n rows and m columns) form, where: both n and m are natural numbers greater than or equal to 1, and can be 1 row and 1 column or 1 row and 2 columns or 2 rows and 2 columns, etc. In this example, a 2×2 distribution form is adopted. The setting of the bottom layer yarn spindle positioning columns 26 is used for positioning the position of the yarn spindle 23 on the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15, or the position of the yarn spindle 23 on the whole machine.

[0046] Under normal circumstances, the number of spindles 23 prepared on the spindle stock preparation workbench 15 should meet the number of spindles to be hung on the yarn hanging rack faced by the walking transport vehicle 3 each time it moves. Therefore, in addition to the distribution method of n×m, the spindles 23 placed on the spindle stock preparation workbench 15 also need to be stacked to increase the number of spindles 23 placed (in this example, the number of spindles to be hung on the yarn hanging rack faced by the walking transport vehicle 3 each time it moves is eight rows and two columns, that is: the walking transport vehicle 3 needs to hang sixteen spindles 23 each time it moves. Therefore, the spindles 23 on the spindle stock preparation workbench 15 need to be stacked four layers). Therefore, in order to ensure the accurate vertical position of the stacked spindles 23, a spindle vertical positioning ring 25 is respectively provided between every two spindles 23 above the spindle 23 sleeved on the bottom spindle positioning column 26. The spindle vertical positioning ring 25 is a short cylinder with chamfered outer walls at both ends, which is convenient for inserting into the inner hole of the yarn tube 24 in the middle of the spindle 23; in the middle of its outer wall, a ring is also added to separate two spindles 23. The spindle vertical positioning ring 25 is used for positioning the vertical position of the stacked spindles 23 on the spindle stock preparation workbench 15, or for positioning the vertical position of the stacked spindles 23 on the whole machine.

[0047] In order to improve work efficiency, under normal circumstances, multiple sets of spindle stock preparation workbenches 15 will be prepared (in the spare spindle stock preparation workbenches 15, the spindle stock preparation workbench positioning cone 33 is no longer provided, but a shared method is adopted), and spindles 23 are stacked on them (a spindle vertical positioning ring 25 is installed between every two spindles 23 in the up and down direction) to improve the stock preparation speed; during use, the method of directly replacing the spindle stock preparation workbench 15 with a forklift is adopted.

[0048] The multi-axis robot 11 is a six-axis robot (six-axis robots produced by companies such as Elite Robot, YASKAWA, FANUC, and Sinsung can be selected), and it is set at the middle and rear part of the right end above the yarn hanging workbench 18.

[0049] At the end of the multi-axis robot 11 (that is: the wrist part), a three-jaw pneumatic fixture is also provided. The three-jaw pneumatic fixture is composed of a three-jaw pneumatic chuck 14, three pneumatic jaws 36 (the three-jaw pneumatic chuck 14 is an existing commercially available product, and the three pneumatic jaws 36 are accessories installed on the three-jaw pneumatic chuck 14) and three additional pads 35; the three-jaw pneumatic chuck 14 is connected to the end of the multi-axis robot 11, and the three additional pads 35 are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the pneumatic jaws 36 installed on the three-jaw pneumatic chuck 14; on the outer side surface of the additional pad 35, a plurality of conical strong needles 34 are provided to enhance the grasping force of the outer side surface of the additional pad 35 on the inner hole wall of the yarn tube 24.

[0050] At the front part of the upper right of the yarn hanging workbench 18 is a 90° dead angle of the robotic arm of the multi-axis robot 11. Therefore, an inverted "L"-shaped guardrail 13 is provided at the front part of the upper right of the yarn hanging workbench 18. The space enclosed by the guardrail 13, the multi-axis robot 11 and the yarn spindle stockpiling workbench 15 serves as an operation station, allowing operators to stand or sit at this position for operation when necessary; the hand control operation screen 12 for operator control is wired and movable, and usually the hand control operation screen 12 is hung on the guardrail 13.

[0051] The walking transport vehicle 3 is equipped with a rechargeable battery. In addition to its own use, this rechargeable battery provides a 24V DC power supply to the inverter 10, and then the inverter 10 provides a 220V AC power supply to the electric controller 9 of the multi-axis robot 11 and the air compressor 8. The control line of the hand control operation screen 12 is led out from the electric controller 9.

[0052] Before use, first use the control software provided by the six-axis robot manufacturing company to integrate the control of the walking transport device (including the walking transport vehicle 3 and the walking transport vehicle positioning component) and the scissor lift device 4, place the equipment at the origin position, and place the yarn spindle stockpiling workbench 15 loaded with yarn spindles 23 on the yarn hanging workbench 18 (the yarn spindle stockpiling workbench positioning device inside the yarn spindle stockpiling workbench support feet 17 at the lower part of the yarn spindle stockpiling workbench 15 can ensure the accurate positioning of the yarn spindle stockpiling workbench 15).

[0053] When using for the first time, real-time programming is required. The specific steps are as follows (see Appendix Figures 1 - 3 ):

[0054] The operator stands or sits at the operation station, holds the hand control operation screen 12, and first controls the walking transport vehicle 3 to move from the origin to the first yarn hanging position (at this time, the walking transport vehicle positioning induction block 21 on the ground is sensed by the walking transport vehicle positioning sensor 5 on the walking transport vehicle 3); then, controls the scissor lift device 4 (let the built-in oil cylinder of it lift the yarn hanging platform steering and positioning components and the above components upward), and stops rising when it reaches the highest position; thereafter, controls the three-jaw pneumatic fixture at the end of the multi-axis robot 11 to grasp the yarn spindle 23 on the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15 on the side close to the yarn hanging rack 19 and far from the multi-axis robot 11 (at this time, the pneumatic jaws 36 on the three-jaw pneumatic chuck 14 expand with three additional pads 35, supporting the inner wall of the yarn bobbin 24, and the conical force needles 34 on the outer side of the additional pad 35 can enhance the grasping force of the outer side of the additional pad 35 on the inner hole wall of the yarn bobbin 24), then, controls the multi-axis robot 11 to hang the grasped yarn spindle 23 on the highest-position yarn hanging rod 20 of the column of yarn hanging racks closest to the multi-axis robot 11 (at this time, the yarn spindle vertical positioning ring 25 inserted into the lower inner hole of the yarn bobbin 24 is hung on the yarn hanging rod 20 together); then, controls the multi-axis robot 11 to return and grasp the yarn spindle 23 on the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15 on the side close to the yarn hanging rack 19 and close to the multi-axis robot 11, and then hangs it on the highest-position yarn hanging rod 20 of the column of yarn hanging racks far from the multi-axis robot 11; thereafter, controls the multi-axis robot 11 to grasp the yarn spindle 23 on the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15 on the side far from the yarn hanging rack 19 and far from the multi-axis robot 11, and then, controls the multi-axis robot 11 to hang the grasped yarn spindle 23 on the second-highest-position yarn hanging rod 20 of the column of yarn hanging racks closest to the multi-axis robot 11; then, controls the multi-axis robot 11 to return and grasp the yarn spindle 23 on the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15 on the side far from the yarn hanging rack 19 and close to the multi-axis robot 11, and then hangs it on the second-highest-position yarn hanging rod 20 of the column of yarn hanging racks far from the multi-axis robot 11; similarly, the multi-axis robot 11 can be controlled to continue grasping and hanging on the third and fourth-highest-position yarn hanging rods 20; when the yarn hanging at the fourth-highest position is completed, at this time, controls the scissor lift device 4 to descend to the lowest position, and repeat the above actions in sequence until the hanging of the last yarn spindle 23 is completed. Thus, the yarn hanging work at the first yarn hanging position of the walking transport vehicle 3 is completed; then, controls the walking transport vehicle 3 to return to the origin, uses a forklift to unload the yarn spindle preparation workbench 15 that has finished taking the yarn spindles 23 (re-prepare materials), and load the spare yarn spindle preparation workbench 15 equipped with the yarn spindles 23; thereafter, controls the walking transport vehicle 3 to move to the second yarn hanging position (positioned by the walking transport vehicle positioning induction block 21 at the second position), and let the scissor lift device 4 rise to the highest position, and repeat the above process until all the yarn hanging rods 20 on the yarn hanging rack 19 are hung with the yarn spindles 23, and the entire yarn hanging work of one cycle is completed;So far, the entire yarn hanging process is memorized and stored in the manual operation screen 12, becoming the program for subsequent operations.

[0055] Since each column on the yarn hanging frame 19 can rotate 180°, when the fine yarn on the yarn spools 23 on the yarn hanging frame 19 is completely wound, directly rotate each column on the yarn hanging frame 19 by 180°. After connecting the wire heads respectively, the winding can continue. Therefore, the process of hanging the yarn spools does not affect the winding work.

[0056] When each column on the yarn hanging frame 19 rotates 180°, the yarn bobbins 24 left on the yarn hanging rod 20 need to be removed and assembled respectively. At this time, first place the container for assembling the yarn bobbins 24 on the yarn spool preparation workbench 15. Then, in the reverse order of the above-mentioned hanging process, remove the yarn bobbins 24 on the yarn hanging rod 20 one by one and put them into the container; the walking transport vehicle 3 also moves in reverse to the initial starting point; meanwhile, this process of removing the yarn bobbins 24 is also memorized and stored in the manual operation screen 12, becoming the program for subsequent operations.

[0057] When the yarn spools 23 need to be hung on the yarn hanging frame 19 arranged on the front side of the walking transport vehicle 3, since the freedom degree of the right part of the yarn hanging workbench 18 is 270° and there is a 90° dead angle, it cannot work directly without changing the direction of the walking transport vehicle 3. At this time, the steering function of the yarn hanging platform steering device needs to be applied. First, hold the handle groove 31 and press down to make the upper small end of the yarn hanging platform steering positioning pin 29 withdraw from the positioning hole 22, forming a positioning unlocking state; then, push the yarn hanging workbench 18 (including the components above it) to rotate around the yarn hanging platform steering plain bearing 16. When the yarn hanging workbench 18 is rotated 180°, release the handle groove 31. At this time, under the elastic force of the yarn hanging platform steering positioning spring 28, the upper small end of the yarn hanging platform steering positioning pin 29 is pushed into another positioning hole 22 that has rotated and realizes positioning self-locking. So far, the multi-axis robot 11 originally arranged on the right part of the yarn hanging workbench 18 has rotated to the left part of the yarn hanging workbench 18, and the yarn hanging work can start according to the above steps.

[0058] The automatic yarn hanging machine of the present invention is suitable for textile enterprises of various scales.
