[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of magnetic ring manufacturing, in particular to an automatic ring material storage device and a processing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The coil of the current transformer is generally formed by winding the magnetic ring through the ring winding machine. At present, in the operation of the ring winding machine, the current transformer core is generally fed by a rotary feeding disc or a material tube type storage feeding.

[0003] The market generally adopts the rotary feeding disc feeding or the material tube type storage feeding mode to supply the magnetic core. For example, a ring material feeding mechanism disclosed in a Chinese patent document with publication number CN211846174U provides an automatic feeding technical solution by storing the ring material through a storage rod. However, in actual production, the number of single supply of the storage rod or the material tube type feeding mode is between dozens and one hundred, and the number of single supply of the magnetic core is limited. In the production process of the current transformer magnetic core, the magnetic ring needs to be manually supplied to the storage station for about two to four hours for each automatic ring winding equipment. Frequent supply of the magnetic ring causes the production process to be suspended, increases a large number of manual working hours and labor costs, and reduces the production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the supply amount and storage efficiency of the magnetic ring becomes a primary problem to be solved. SUMMARY

The feeding device is connected with the storage mechanism, the storage mechanism is connected with the clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanism is connected with the equipment support. The storage mechanism includes a shunt pipe and a storage pipe. One end of the shunt pipe is connected with the feeding device, and the other end is connected with the corresponding storage pipe. The storage pipe adopts a spiral structure. A limiting part is arranged at the bottom of the equipment support, and the limiting part is connected with the storage pipe. The material shifting mechanism includes a brush, a synchronous wheel, a synchronous belt, and a motor. The brush is connected with the equipment support, the motor is connected with the equipment support, the synchronous wheel is connected with the equipment support, and the synchronous belt is connected with the synchronous wheel.

[0007] Further, the storage pipe is provided with a buffer part and a storage part. The buffer part is arranged above the storage part.

[0008] Further, the helix angle of the storage part is 10°-13°.

[0009] Further, the pipe diameter d, the spiral outer diameter D and the pitch P in the storage part have a functional relationship, and the functional relationship formula is: In the formula, k is a size value coefficient.

[0011] Further, the length of the brush invading the spiral body of the storage pipe during rotation is 10mm-14mm.

[0012] Further, the brush has a double-face symmetric structure, and the rotation rate of the brush is 22-30 revolutions per minute.

[0014] The application further provides an annular material automatic storage method, which includes the following steps:

[0015] S10: orderly arranged annular materials are put into a material putting area through a feeding device;

[0016] S20: the clamping mechanism is opened, the annular materials fall along the shunt pipe to a first buffer area by gravity, and the clamping mechanism is closed;

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding device 10 is sleeved with the storage mechanism 20, wherein a protruding connecting joint is arranged at the bottom of the feeding device 10, and the shunt pipe 21 adopting a hollow structure is sleeved with the connecting joint.

[0049] In another preferred embodiment, a plurality of shunt pipes 21 and a plurality of storage pipes 22 are arranged, the number of the shunt pipes 21 corresponds to the number of the storage pipes 22, so that the storage work of the annular material on the plurality of storage pipes 22 can be performed at the same time.

[0050] In another preferred embodiment, the storage pipe 22 adopts a solid metal pipe.

[0051] In specific implementation, the feeding device 10 is connected with the storage mechanism to put the orderly arranged annular material into the material putting area formed by the combination of the storage mechanism 20 and the holding mechanism 30; the storage mechanism 20 and the holding mechanism 30 are connected, and the storage mechanism 20 is divided into several areas while being fixed, so that the annular material can fall into the storage area in stages, improving the annular material storage efficiency and avoiding the risk of collision and damage of the annular material due to too high falling height; the storage mechanism 20 is composed of the shunt pipe 21 and the storage pipe 22, wherein the shunt pipe 21 plays a guiding and shunting role for the annular material storage, so that the annular material put by the feeding device 10 is shunted to each storage pipe 22, greatly improving the annular material storage efficiency; the storage pipe 22 adopts a spiral structure to increase the annular material storage area space and thus improve the annular material single supply amount; and the storage pipe 22 adopts a solid metal pipe to improve the structural rigidity of the storage pipe 22, so as to meet the requirement that the structure of the storage pipe 22 does not deform when the annular material is stored; the synchronous wheel 52 and the synchronous belt 53 are combined to work, so that the motor 54 can drive several brushes 51 at the same time to move the annular material retained in the storage part 222.

[0052] Further, referring to FIG. 2, Figure 3 the shunt pipe 21 is provided with a receiving part 211, a shunting part 212 and a conveying part 213, and the receiving part 211 and the conveying part 213 are not on the same straight line.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the receiving part 211 and the conveying part 213 are connected to both ends of the shunting part 212 at a first angle and a second angle, and the first angle and the second angle are equal internal alternate angles; wherein the first angle and the second angle are 90°-180°.

[0054] In specific implementation, the first angle and the second angle of the shunt pipe 21 are equal internal alternate angles, so that the receiving part 211 and the conveying part 213 are parallel to each other to disperse and convey the concentrated annular material to the storage pipe 22.

[0055] Further, referring to FIG. 2, Figure 4 the storage pipe 22 is provided with a buffer part 221 and a storage part 222, and the buffer part 221 is arranged above the storage part 222.

[0058] Further, the helix angle of the storage part 222 is 10°-13°.

[0059] Table 1 Comparison results of different helix angles of the storage part in the embodiment

[0060]

[0061] Note: Table 1 is the comparison results of storing the same size and quantity of ring-shaped materials in the storage part 222 of the storage pipe 22 under the same conditions using different helix angles. Each of the comparison group 1, comparison group 2 and comparison group 3 uses 100 ring-shaped materials.

[0062] As shown in Table 1, the comparison results of the automatic storage equipment provided in the embodiment in the comparison project of the falling conditions of the ring-shaped materials in the different helix angle conditions of the storage part 222 under the same conditions are as follows: the helix angle <10°, the implementation effect is that the ring-shaped materials fall slowly, and the storage efficiency is low; the helix angle 10°-13°, the implementation effect is that the ring-shaped materials fall basically smoothly, and occasionally appear to be delayed; the helix angle >13°, the implementation effect is that the ring-shaped materials fall too fast, and are easy to collide to cause damage to the materials.

[0063] In the comparison test of the falling conditions of the ring-shaped materials in the different helix angle conditions of the storage part 222, it is found that when the number of ring-shaped materials retained in the storage part 222 is >30, the storage efficiency of the ring-shaped materials in the storage part 222 is low, and the ring-shaped materials are too much to cause the storage part 222 to be blocked; when the number of ring-shaped materials retained is <10, the phenomenon of damage to the ring-shaped materials appears; therefore, it is concluded that when the number of ring-shaped materials retained is in the interval of 10-30, the value of the helix angle is better.

[0064] It can be seen that when the value of the helix angle is 10°-13°, the storage part 222 has the best storage effect on the ring-shaped materials.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the helix angle of the storage part 222 is 10°.

[0066] Through a large number of tests, it is concluded that when the value of the helix angle of the storage part 222 is 10°, the falling speed of the ring-shaped materials along the storage part 222 is relatively gentle, which avoids the violent collision of the ring-shaped materials due to the too fast falling speed, thereby causing damage.

[0067] Further, there is a functional relationship between the size values of the pipe diameter d, the helix outer diameter D and the pitch P in the storage part 222, and the functional relationship formula is: In the formula, k is the size value coefficient.

[0068] In the comparative experiments of the storage pipe 22 carrying the annular material, it is found that in the comparative group with better storage effect, the size values among the pipe diameter d, the spiral outer diameter D and the pitch P of the storage part 222 have the above function relationship, wherein k is the size value coefficient, and k changes with the value of the spiral rise angle.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, when the spiral rise angle of the storage part 222 is 10°, the size value coefficient K is 0.3619.

[0070] In the comparison project of the falling of the above annular material in the storage part 222 under different spiral rise angle conditions, it is measured that when the spiral rise angle of the storage part is 10°-13°, the storage part 222 has the best storage effect on the annular material; and further, it is measured that when the spiral rise angle of the storage part 222 is 10°, the size value coefficient K is 0.3619.

[0071] Further, as shown in Figure 1 In the embodiment, the clamping mechanism 30 includes a first clamping part 31, a second clamping part 32, a third clamping part 33, a fourth clamping part 34 and a fifth clamping part 35.

[0072] In specific implementation, the feeding device 10 is connected with the storage mechanism to put the annular material in order into the material feeding area formed by the combination of the storage mechanism 20 and the clamping mechanism 30; the storage mechanism 20 and the clamping mechanism 30 are connected to divide the storage mechanism 20 into several areas while fixing the storage mechanism 20, so that the annular material can fall into the storage area in stages, improving the storage efficiency of the annular material and avoiding the risk of collision and damage of the annular material due to too high falling height; the clamping mechanism 30 and the storage mechanism 20 are connected to divide the storage mechanism 20 into several areas, and the opening and closing of each clamping part are controlled to make the annular material fall into the storage area in stages, avoiding the risk of collision and damage of the annular material due to too high falling height; wherein the feeding device 10, the shunt pipe 21 and the first clamping part 31 form the material feeding area to receive the annular material concentrated by the feeding device 10; the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32 and the shunt pipe 21 form the material shunting area to temporarily store the material to be shunted; the second clamping part 32, the third clamping part 33 and the shunt pipe 21 form the first buffer area; the fourth clamping part 34, the fifth clamping part 35 and the storage pipe 22 form the second buffer area; the storage pipe 22 arranged below the fifth clamping part 35 and the fifth clamping part 35 form the storage area.

[0073] Further, the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32 and the third clamping part 33 are connected with the shunt pipe 21; the fourth clamping part 34 and the fifth clamping part 35 are connected with the storage pipe 22.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32 and the third clamping part 33 are movably connected with the shunt pipe 21; the fourth clamping part 34 and the fifth clamping part 35 are movably connected with the storage pipe 22.

[0075] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the first clamping part 31 is further provided with a fixing part 311 and a through hole 312, the fixing part 311 is connected with the shunt pipe 21 through the through hole 312.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing part 311 is detachably connected with the shunt pipe 21 through the through hole 312.

[0077] Considering that the shunt pipe 21 does not need to be disassembled and removed when it is in a non-working state, it is a better treatment to fix the shunt pipe 21 to the annular material automatic storage device; if a conventional pneumatic control system is used to control the clamping mechanism 20, the clamping mechanism 20 will be in an open state when the annular material automatic storage device is in a shutdown state, and the shunt pipe 21 cannot be fixed; therefore, the embodiment is provided with the fixing part 311 and the through hole 312 in the first clamping part 31.

[0078] In specific implementation, when the annular material automatic storage device is in a shutdown state, the fixing part 311 is detachably connected with the shunt pipe 21 through the through hole 312 to fix the shunt pipe 21.

[0079] Referring to Figures 6-9 , in the embodiment, the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32, the third clamping part 33, the fourth clamping part 34 and the fifth clamping part 35 all adopt the same structure, wherein the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32 and the third clamping part 33 are used to fix the shunt pipe 21, and the fourth clamping part 34 and the fifth clamping part 35 are used to fix the storage pipe 22.

[0080] In specific implementation, the shunt pipe 21 is fixed by the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32 and the third clamping part 33, and the annular material is made to fall in stages by separately controlling the opening or closing of the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32 and the third clamping part 33; it should be noted that only one of the first clamping part 31, the second clamping part 32 and the third clamping part 33 is separately opened, and the remaining clamping parts are in a closed state to fix the shunt pipe 21.

[0081] The storage pipe 22 is fixed by the fourth clamping part 34 and the fifth clamping part 35, wherein the bottom of the storage pipe 22 is connected with the equipment support 40, and the annular material is made to fall in stages by separately controlling the opening or closing of the fourth clamping part 34 and the fifth clamping part 35; it should be noted that only one of the fourth clamping part 34 and the fifth clamping part 35 is separately opened, and the remaining clamping parts are in a closed state to fix the storage pipe 22.

[0082] Further, referring to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the device support 40 is provided with a limiting portion 41 at the bottom, and the limiting portion 41 is connected with the storage pipe 22.

[0083] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting portion 41 is detachably connected with the storage pipe 22.

[0084] In the specific implementation, the fourth clamping portion 34 and the fifth clamping portion 35 are controlled to be opened, and after the storage pipe 22 is installed on the top of the limiting portion 41, the fourth clamping portion 34 and the fifth clamping portion 35 are controlled to be closed, so as to fix the storage pipe 22 through the fourth clamping portion 34, the fifth clamping portion 35 and the limiting portion 41; after the annular material storage operation is completed, the operator can take out the storage pipe 22 by opening the fourth clamping portion 34 and the fifth clamping portion 35.

[0085] Further, referring to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the poking mechanism 50 includes a plurality of brushes 51, a plurality of synchronous wheels 52, a plurality of synchronous belts 53 and a motor 54; the brushes 51 are connected with the device support 40, the motor 54 and the synchronous wheels 52 are connected with the device support 40, and the synchronous belts 53 are connected with the synchronous wheels 52; the motor 54 is connected with the synchronous wheel 52 arranged at the bottom of the motor 54, so as to drive the brushes 51 to rotate.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned motor 54 is a speed reducer, the brushes 51 are movably connected with the device support 52, the speed reducer and the synchronous wheels 52 are fixedly connected with the device support 40, and the synchronous belts 53 are movably connected with the synchronous wheels 52; the speed reducer is movably connected with the synchronous wheel 52 arranged at the bottom of the speed reducer, so as to drive the brushes 51 to rotate.

[0087] In the specific implementation, through the linkage of the speed reducer, the synchronous wheels 52 and the synchronous belts 53, the brushes 51 are driven to rotate synchronously, so as to poke the annular material retained in the storage portion 222; through the combination of the synchronous wheels 52 and the synchronous belts 53, one speed reducer can drive a plurality of brushes 51 to rotate synchronously.

[0088] It should be noted that, in order to prevent the brushes 51 from blocking the annular material from falling, the starting position and the ending position of the rotation of the brushes 51 are both arranged outside the storage portion 222, and do not contact the storage portion 222 and the annular material.

[0089] Further, referring to Figure 10 In the rotation process of the brushes 51, the length of the brushes 51 invading the spiral body of the storage pipe 22 is 10mm-14mm.

[0090] Table 2 Comparison results of different invasion lengths of the brushes in this embodiment

[0091]

[0092] Note: Table 2 is the comparison result of the brush 51 invading the storage part 222 with different invasion lengths under the same conditions, the same rotation speed and the same number of rotations of the brush 51, and the same specification and the same number of annular materials being prodded, wherein each of the comparison group 1, the comparison group 2 and the comparison group 3 uses 100 annular materials.

[0093] As shown in Table 2, the automatic storage equipment provided in the embodiment has the following comparison results in the comparison project of the prodding effect of the brush under different invasion lengths of the brush under the same conditions: when the invasion length of the brush is less than 10 mm, the implementation effect is that the annular materials fall slowly and occasionally fail to be prodded; when the invasion length of the brush is 10 mm-14 mm, the implementation effect is that the annular materials fall smoothly after being prodded; and when the invasion length of the brush is greater than 14 mm, the implementation effect is that the annular materials fall smoothly after being prodded, and the brush is prone to bifurcation and deformation.

[0094] It can be seen that when the invasion length of the brush is 10 mm-14 mm, a better prodding effect can be obtained.

[0095] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the brush 51 invading the spiral body of the storage pipe 22 during rotation is 12 mm.

[0096] Through a large number of experiments, it is found that when the length of the brush 51 invading the spiral body of the storage pipe 22 during rotation is 12 mm, the annular materials fall smoothly after being prodded, and the brush has no deformation phenomenon.

[0097] Further, the brush 51 has a double-symmetrical structure, and the rotation rate of the brush 51 is 22-30 revolutions per minute.

[0098] Table 3 is the comparison result of the brush with different rotation rates in the embodiment

[0099]

[0100] Note: Table 3 is the comparison result of the brush 51 with different rotation rates under the same conditions, the same invasion length of the brush 51 into the storage part 222, and the same specification and the same number of annular materials being prodded, wherein each of the comparison group 1, the comparison group 2 and the comparison group 3 uses 100 annular materials.

[0101] As shown in Table 3, the automatic storage equipment provided in the embodiment has the following comparison results in the comparison project of the different rotation rates of the brush on the effect of the material pushing: the rotation rate of the brush is less than 22 revolutions per minute, the implementation effect is that the pushing speed is too slow, which causes the accumulation of the annular material at the entrance of the storage part, and the risk of material collision damage; the rotation rate of the brush is 22-30 revolutions per minute, the implementation effect is that the annular material falls smoothly after being pushed, and there is no material accumulation at the entrance of the storage part; the rotation rate of the brush is more than 30 revolutions per minute, the implementation effect is that the annular material falls smoothly after being pushed, and the brush rotates too fast, which causes the phenomenon of invalid rotation.

[0102] It can be seen that when the rotation rate of the brush is 22-30 revolutions per minute, a better pushing effect can be obtained.

[0103] In a preferred embodiment, the rotation rate of the brush 51 is 26 revolutions per minute.

[0104] Through a large number of experiments, it is found that when the rotation rate of the brush 51 is 26 revolutions per minute, the best pushing effect can be obtained, and there is no phenomenon of invalid rotation of the brush.

[0105] Further, as shown in Figure 2 The annular material automatic storage equipment provided in the embodiment further includes a driving control module 60, the driving control module 60 includes a PLC controller 61 and a start switch 62, the PLC controller 61 is connected with the start switch 62; the PLC controller 61 is connected with the clamping mechanism 30, and the PLC controller 61 is connected with the pushing mechanism 50.
