Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a novel anchor chain production positioning device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Anchor chain is a specialized chain that connects the anchor to the hull and transmits the anchor's grip. It typically consists of end links, intermediate links, and terminal links. Anchor chain production typically utilizes a four-station rotary machine, with the four stations corresponding to looping, flash welding, burr removal, and slugging (shaping). A central rotary device controls the movement of the four short chains to different stations.

[0003] However, when the rotating unit drives the anchor chain to rotate, the anchor chain will swing too much. The swinging anchor chain will come into contact with the equipment around the rotating unit, causing damage to the production equipment. At the same time, the swinging anchor chain will also cause the anchor chain to become tangled, affecting the subsequent production process. In view of this, the present invention proposes a new anchor chain production positioning device and its use method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a novel anchor chain production positioning device and a method of using the same, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A novel anchor chain production and positioning device comprises a rotating unit, wherein the rotating unit is provided with a rotating plate, and the rotating plate is provided with four sets of driving wheels, and the anchor chain is transmitted between two sets of driving wheels on the left and right sides;

[0007] Four groups of fixed plates are provided on the bottom end surface of the rotating plate, and the positions of the four groups of fixed plates match the four groups of driving wheels. Guide plates are provided on the fixed plates, and limiting components are provided on the guide plates, and the limiting components wrap the anchor chain.

[0008] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the limiting assembly includes a telescopic pipe, both ends of the telescopic pipe are respectively provided with connecting sleeves, the connecting sleeves are connected to the fixing plate, and the anchor chain is arranged in the inner cavity of the telescopic pipe.

[0009] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the fixing plate is provided with a mounting hole, a group of the connecting sleeves at the top are connected to the mounting hole, and the anchor chain enters into the inner cavity of the telescopic pipe through the mounting hole.

[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a guide groove is provided on the guide plate;

[0011] A guide block is provided on the connecting sleeve of the bottom group. The guide block is slidably arranged in the guide groove. The guide block slides in the guide groove so that the length of the telescopic pipe changes.

[0012] As an improvement of the above technical solution, a fixed block is provided on the guide block, and a penetrating positioning bolt is provided on the fixed block. The positioning bolt is threadedly connected to the fixed block, and the positioning bolt contacts the bottom of the guide groove to limit the guide block.

[0013] As an improvement to the above technical solution, tapered pipes are provided at both ends of the telescopic pipe, and the tapered pipes are connected to the connecting sleeve flanges via bolts.

[0014] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the fixed plate is provided with a plurality of connection holes, which are connected to the rotating plate by bolts, so that the guide plate and the rotating plate move simultaneously, in the same direction and at the same speed.

[0015] A method for using a novel anchor chain production positioning device comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step S1, telescopic installation:

[0017] Connect the telescopic pipes to the two sets of connecting sleeves respectively, so that the telescopic pipes and the connecting sleeves are coaxially arranged;

[0018] Step S2: Slide into the slot:

[0019] Pull the telescopic pipe to lengthen it, then insert the guide block into the guide groove and check whether the guide block can slide in the guide groove. If it cannot slide smoothly, lubricate the guide groove.

[0020] Step S3: Positioning connection:

[0021] Install the four sets of fixing plates on the four sets of driving wheels accordingly, and make sure that the anchor chain is in a naturally vertical state and is in line with the axis of the connecting sleeve;

[0022] Step S4: Sliding test:

[0023] After step S3, the positioning connection is completed, the driving wheel drives the anchor chain to move to test whether the anchor chain can slide in the telescopic pipe. If it cannot slide smoothly, replace the telescopic pipe with a suitable diameter until the anchor chain can slide in the telescopic pipe.

[0024] Step S5: elongation limitation:

[0025] After the sliding test in step S4 is completed, the bottom set of connecting sleeves is pulled to stretch the telescopic pipe and lengthen it. The bottom set of connecting sleeves is flush with the anchor chain to wrap the anchor chain.

[0026] Step S6: Rotation production:

[0027] After step S5, elongation limitation is completed, the rotating unit drives the multiple groups of anchor chains to rotate so that the heads of the multiple groups of anchor chains correspond to different processing positions respectively.

[0028] As an improvement to the above technical solution, after step S2, sliding into the groove or step S5, completion of elongation limitation, the positioning bolt is rotated so that the positioning bolt contacts the bottom of the guide groove to position the guide block.

[0029] As an improvement to the above technical solution, in step S4, the sliding test, the bottom set of connecting sleeves is not flush with the anchor chain, and the anchor chain head is arranged below the bottom set of connecting sleeves.

[0031] Before the rotating unit rotates between multiple stations, first install four sets of fixing plates on the four sets of driving wheels respectively, then install the limiting components on the fixing plates respectively, and make the anchor chain head on each set of driving wheels pass through the limiting components so that the limiting components wrap the anchor chain;

[0032] The anchor chain is wrapped by the limit assembly provided above. When the rotary unit drives the anchor chain to rotate, the limit assembly is wrapped around the outside of the anchor chain, which can prevent the anchor chain from swinging too much and colliding with the peripheral equipment of the rotary unit, causing damage to the equipment.

[0033] By wrapping the anchor chain with the limit assembly provided above, the anchor chain itself can be prevented from being entangled and kinked during the rotation of the anchor chain, making it easier for other processes to process the anchor chain. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Example:

[0044] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment proposes a novel anchor chain production and positioning device, comprising a rotating unit 10, wherein the rotating unit 10 is provided with a rotating plate 11, and the rotating plate 11 is provided with four sets of driving wheels 12, and the anchor chain 20 is transmitted between two sets of driving wheels 12 on the left and right sides;

[0045] Four groups of fixed plates 30 are provided on the bottom end surface of the rotating plate 11. The four groups of fixed plates 30 match the positions of the four groups of driving wheels 12. A guide plate 32 is provided on the fixed plate 30. A limiting component 40 is provided on the guide plate 32. The limiting component 40 wraps the anchor chain 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, before the rotating unit 10 rotates between multiple workstations, four sets of fixing plates 30 are first installed on the four sets of driving wheels 12, and then the limiting components 40 are installed on the fixing plates 30 respectively, and the head of the anchor chain 20 on each set of driving wheels 12 is passed through the limiting component 40, so that the limiting component 40 wraps the anchor chain 20;

[0047] The anchor chain 20 is wrapped by the above-mentioned limiting assembly 40. When the rotating unit 10 drives the anchor chain 20 to rotate, the limiting assembly 40 is wrapped around the outside of the anchor chain 20, which can prevent the anchor chain 20 from swinging too much and colliding with the surrounding equipment of the rotating unit 10, causing damage to the equipment.

[0048] By wrapping the anchor chain 20 with the limiting assembly 40 as described above, the anchor chain 20 can be prevented from being entangled or kinked during its rotation, thereby facilitating processing of the anchor chain 20 in other steps.

[0049] Specifically, the limiting assembly 40 includes a telescopic pipe 42 , and connecting sleeves 41 are respectively provided at both ends of the telescopic pipe 42 . The connecting sleeves 41 are connected to the fixing plate 30 , and the anchor chain 20 is provided in the inner cavity of the telescopic pipe 42 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the telescopic pipe 42 can be provided to facilitate adapting to the length of the anchor chain 20 in a naturally vertical state, so as to improve the limiting capability of the anchor chain 20 .

[0051] Specifically, the fixing plate 30 is provided with a mounting hole 33 , a group of the connecting sleeves 41 at the top are connected to the mounting hole 33 , and the anchor chain 20 enters into the inner cavity of the telescopic pipe 42 through the mounting hole 33 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the provided mounting holes 33 and a group of connecting sleeves 41 at the top can facilitate the installation of the telescopic pipe 42.

[0053] Specifically, the guide plate 32 is provided with a guide groove 34;

[0054] A guide block 44 is provided on the bottom group of the connecting sleeves 41. The guide block 44 is slidably provided in the guide groove 34. The guide block 44 slides in the guide groove 34 so that the length of the telescopic pipe 42 changes.

[0055] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the guide block 44 and the guide groove 34 can facilitate the reciprocating motion of the telescopic pipe 42 in a straight line, thereby avoiding distortion and deformation that affects the displacement of the anchor chain 20. At the same time, it can facilitate the upper and lower sets of connecting sleeves 41 to maintain the axis collinearity, thereby facilitating the displacement of the anchor chain 20 when the driving wheel 12 drives the anchor chain 20 to move.

[0056] Of course, the telescopic pipe 42 can be made of a highly elastic material to improve the buffering capacity and to buffer and absorb the force generated by the swing of the anchor chain 20 .

[0057] Specifically, a fixing block 46 is provided on the guide block 44 , and a penetrating positioning bolt 45 is provided on the fixing block 46 . The positioning bolt 45 is threadedly connected to the fixing block 46 , and the positioning bolt 45 contacts the bottom of the guide groove 34 to limit the guide block 44 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the positioning bolts 45 are provided to position the fixing block 46, thereby positioning the guide block 44. When the bottom set of connecting sleeves 41 is flush with the length of the anchor chain 20, the connecting sleeves 41 can be positioned to wrap the anchor chain 20 to the maximum extent, and at the same time, it is convenient to pull the anchor chain 20 in time to carry out other production processes.

[0059] Of course, the above-mentioned wrapping setting can effectively guide the anchor chain 20 to move, so that the anchor chain 20 can move in different directions. The specific displacement direction is set by the direction of the opening of the bottom group of connecting sleeves 41.

[0060] Specifically, tapered pipes 43 are provided at both ends of the telescopic pipe 42 , and the tapered pipes 43 are flange-connected to the connecting sleeve 41 through bolts.

[0061] In this embodiment, the flange connection between the tapered pipe 43 and the connecting sleeve 41 can facilitate the use of telescopic pipes 42 with different diameters.

[0062] Specifically, the fixed plate 30 is provided with a plurality of connection holes 31 , and the connection holes 31 are connected to the rotating plate 11 through bolts, so that the guide plate 32 and the rotating plate 11 move simultaneously, in the same direction, and at the same speed.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connection holes 31 can facilitate installation of the fixing plate 30 .

[0064] A method for using a novel anchor chain production positioning device comprises the following steps:

[0065] Step S1, telescopic installation:

[0066] Connect the telescopic pipe 42 to the two sets of connecting sleeves 41 respectively, so that the telescopic pipe 42 and the connecting sleeve 41 are coaxially arranged;

[0067] Step S2: Slide into the slot:

[0068] Pull the telescopic pipe 42 to lengthen it, then insert the guide block 44 into the guide groove 34 and check whether the guide block 44 can slide in the guide groove 34. If it cannot slide smoothly, lubricate the guide groove 34.

[0069] Step S3: Positioning connection:

[0070] Install the four sets of fixing plates 30 on the four sets of driving wheels 12 respectively, and make the anchor chain 20 collinear with the axis of the connecting sleeve 41 when in a naturally vertical state;

[0071] Step S4: Sliding test:

[0072] After step S3, when the positioning connection is completed, the driving wheel 12 drives the anchor chain 20 to move, and tests whether the anchor chain 20 can slide in the telescopic tube 42. If it cannot slide smoothly, replace the telescopic tube 42 with a suitable diameter until the anchor chain 20 can slide in the telescopic tube 42.

[0073] Step S5: elongation limitation:

[0074] After the step S4, the sliding test is completed, the bottom set of connecting sleeves 41 are pulled, so that the telescopic pipe 42 is stretched and lengthened, and the bottom set of connecting sleeves 41 is flush with the anchor chain 20, wrapping the anchor chain 20;

[0075] Step S6: Rotation production:

[0076] After step S5, when the elongation limitation is completed, the rotating unit 10 drives the plurality of anchor chains 20 to rotate, so that the heads of the plurality of anchor chains 20 correspond to different processing positions respectively.

[0077] Specifically, after step S2 , sliding into the groove, or step S5 , elongation limitation is completed, the positioning bolt 45 is rotated so that the positioning bolt 45 contacts the bottom of the guide groove 34 , thereby positioning the guide block 44 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the telescopic pipe 42 can be restricted by positioning the guide block 44 so that the length of the telescopic pipe 42 matches that of the anchor chain 20 .

[0079] Specifically, in step S4 , the sliding test, the bottom set of connecting sleeves 41 are not flush with the anchor chain 20 , and the head of the anchor chain 20 is arranged below the bottom set of connecting sleeves 41 .

[0080] In this embodiment, the above steps facilitate observation of whether the anchor chain 20 can slide and move smoothly.

[0081] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
