Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a metal-rubber blank mixed weaving device and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] Metal rubber, also known as metal wire mesh mat, is a highly elastic, high-damping material formed from metal wires through processes such as spiral winding or weaving, and die stamping. Metal rubber possesses excellent elasticity and compressive strength, rapidly rebounding and returning to its original shape. It is widely used in industry, primarily for vibration damping, sealing, filtration, and electromagnetic shielding. Through its unique mesh structure, metal rubber achieves a variety of practical functions and provides reliable solutions for various applications. Current machinery can only weave or wind single metal wires into blanks, and the stamped metal rubber inevitably suffers from weak impact resistance and slightly inferior damping performance in actual working conditions. Therefore, improving the mechanical properties of metal rubber under actual working conditions and enhancing its impact resistance has become an essential requirement.

[0003] The impact resistance of metal rubber can be altered by using composite molding processes with metal wires of different materials. Stiffer metal wires and alloys can increase the impact resistance of metal rubber, enabling it to better absorb and disperse energy upon impact. Conversely, softer metal wires and alloys can provide higher deformability and energy absorption capacity, allowing the metal rubber to deform and absorb energy to a greater extent upon impact. Combining stiffer and softer metal rubbers can achieve both high impact strength and high damping characteristics. Therefore, selecting different combinations of materials and alloys can improve the impact resistance of metal rubber to meet specific application requirements.

[0004] Based on the requirements of high impact strength and high damping performance of metal rubber, this invention develops a process control device for the mixed weaving process of metal rubber blanks. The overall structure includes a circular weaving mechanism, a weaving flattening mechanism, a weaving conveying mechanism, a reciprocating knitting mechanism, and a composite wire mesh recycling mechanism. This invention uses an encoder to detect the remaining amount of raw materials, ensuring safety. A lead screw module guide rail is designed to control the weaving process of the knitting mechanism, achieving different interlacing methods for the same type of metal wire. By combining the cylindrical weaving mechanism with the knitting mechanism, different materials of metal wire can be combined into the cylindrical metal wire mesh, ensuring different woven wire mesh blanks and improving the impact resistance of the metal rubber. This invention designs a process control device for the mixed weaving process of metal rubber blanks to improve the impact resistance and high damping characteristics of metal rubber in industrial fields, opening up new avenues for the broader market application of metal rubber. Summary of the Invention

The composite knitting mesh stretching and flattening system, the knitting machine system, and the composite knitting mesh recycling system are all installed on the composite knitting mesh stretching and flattening system support frame.

[0016] A method for using a metal-rubber blank mixed weaving equipment:

[0017] Step 1) Circular Weaving of Metal Wire Mesh: Before operating this hybrid weaving equipment, the metal wire roller A needs to be manually installed. Install the metal wire roller A on the frame platform. Pass the metal wire sequentially through the guide wheel, the empty sleeve of the metal wire guide rod, the wire guide groove, and then sequentially through the hooks of the hooks. During the initial wiring, pass the metal wire through two hooks with opposite diameters on the weaving cylinder. The hooks of the two hooks hook together, and then hook them together clockwise, ensuring that all hooks are hooked with metal wire. Slowly start the circular weaving motor to begin the circular weaving of the metal wire. To allow the wire mesh to descend vertically better at the center of the weaving cylinder, a heavy hook can be hung in the middle of the wire mesh.

[0018] Step 2) Flattening and Stretching of Circular Woven Wire Mesh: After weaving to a certain length using wire roller A, manually press the pre-tightening adjustment knob between the small-diameter and large-diameter pressure rollers to apply a certain pre-tension force to the woven wire mesh between the pressure rollers and the weaving cylinder. Then, start the flattening motor, while the circular weaving system continues to work, thus achieving continuous operation of circular woven wire mesh production and flattening. When the flattened wire mesh reaches a certain length, press it into the composite woven mesh stretching and flattening system, thereby achieving the effect of both flattening and stretching the cylindrical wire mesh.

[0019] Step 3) Knitting with the knitting machine: When the knitting machine system begins knitting, install the metal wire roller B on the circular knitting mesh flattening system support platform. Then, pass the metal wire through the guide wheel, the take-up bar slot, and the pointer slot in the knitting machine. Start the knitting mechanism servo motor and simultaneously start the Y-axis module motor. The circular knitting motor and the flattening mesh motor stop running. The Y-axis module mechanism drives the knitting machine system to move along the positive Y-axis for 60mm. The Y-axis module motor stops, and the X-axis module motor starts. The X-axis module mechanism drives the knitting machine to move along the X-axis for 15mm. Then, the X-axis module motor stops, and the Y-axis module motor starts, driving the knitting machine system to move along the negative Y-axis for 60mm. The Y-axis module motor stops, and the X-axis module motor starts, driving the knitting machine system to move along the positive X-axis for 15mm. At this point, one cycle of yarn knitting is complete. The X and Y axis modules then begin their cyclical movement, with a maximum X-axis stroke of 400mm. Yarn knitting is finished, the knitting machine needles return to their origin, and the circular knitting motor and the flattening mesh motor continue operating. The knitting machine system pauses until the composite knitting mesh is recovered, then the above process repeats until the absolute encoder provides feedback, at which point the entire system stops moving and all motors cease operation. The knitting machine's trajectory is shown in the attached diagram. Figure 8 As shown, at least three types of weave lines can be used to create different shapes of wire mesh. A comparison diagram of circular weaving and combinations of wire and circular weaving is attached. Figure 9 As shown, the flowchart of the composite braiding machine control system is as follows: Figure 10 As shown.

[0020] Step 4) Composite woven mesh recycling: After stretching the composite woven mesh to a certain length, manually wind the composite woven mesh onto the woven mesh recycling roller, start the woven mesh recycling stepper motor to recycle the composite woven mesh. The flattening mesh motor, the woven mesh recycling stepper motor, and the circular braiding motor work simultaneously.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: It features a reasonable design. Due to the special characteristics of metal wire, the structure of the circular knitting machine system and the knitting machine system are optimized to achieve more efficient composite metal wire weaving, providing a feasible solution for processing metal-rubber blanks. Simultaneously, by fully automating the entire mechanism, composite metal woven mesh can be produced more efficiently. The programmable control system enables the knitting mechanism to perform multiple interlacing patterns, combining different metal wires onto the circular knitting mesh to achieve woven meshes of different densities and interlacing patterns, thus producing composite metal mesh blanks that meet the high demands of practical engineering. Furthermore, addressing the characteristics of traditional single-wire weaving blank equipment, by combining the circular knitting mechanism and the knitting mechanism, composite weaving of different metal wires can be achieved. This can include the combined weaving of materials such as metal wires, fibers, and plastic filaments, thereby creating composite metal-rubber blanks with multiple properties and characteristics.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0038] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0039] like Figure 1-13 As shown, this embodiment provides a metal-rubber blank hybrid knitting device, including a frame 3: a circular knitting system 1 is provided on the frame, a circular knitting mesh flattening system 2 is provided on the frame below the circular knitting system, a composite knitting mesh stretching and flattening system 5 is provided on the frame at the output end of the circular knitting mesh flattening system, a knitting machine system 4 is provided on the frame between the composite knitting mesh stretching and flattening system and the circular knitting mesh flattening system, and a composite knitting mesh recycling system 7 is provided on the frame at the output end of the composite knitting mesh stretching and flattening system.

[0040] In this embodiment, the circular knitting system includes a support rod bracket 101. A wire roller A104 and a circular knitting mechanism 105 are arranged on the side of the support rod bracket. The wire roller A is vertically rotatably connected to the frame. Several guide wheels 102 are installed on the support rod bracket. The wires on the wire roller A are guided to the circular knitting mechanism through the guide wheels. Several wire guide rods 103 can be fitted on the support rod bracket. The ends of the wire guide rods are empty sleeves through which the corresponding wires pass, used to guide the wires to the circular knitting mechanism. The wire roller is rotatably connected to the frame through a cylindrical bearing. The wire roller is connected to an absolute encoder through a coupling.

[0041] In this embodiment, the circular knitting mechanism includes a rotating mechanism and a knitting mechanism. The knitting mechanism is mounted on the rotating mechanism, which is mounted on a frame. The rotating mechanism includes a fixed disc 112, which includes an outer ring 105-15 and an inner ring 105-16 that are nested together. The outer ring and the inner ring are rotatably connected by ball bearings 105-13. The outer ring is mounted on the frame. A gear driven by a circular knitting motor 106 is mounted under the inner ring. The gear is a bevel gear disc. A bevel gear disc 111 is rotatably connected under the inner ring by ball bearings. A bevel gear 110 that meshes with the bevel gear disc is connected to the shaft of the circular knitting motor.

[0042] In this embodiment, the knitting mechanism includes a knitting cylinder 105-5. A plurality of vertically arranged hooks 105-6 are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the knitting cylinder. The hooks slide vertically onto the outer circumference of the knitting cylinder; alternatively, a plurality of vertical sliding grooves may be provided on the outer circumference of the knitting cylinder corresponding to the hooks. A fixing ring 105-8 is fitted onto the bottom outer circumference of the knitting cylinder. The knitting feet of the hooks slide onto the fixing ring. A triangular block 105-9 for supporting the hooks is provided on the fixing ring. The fixing ring is fixed to an inner ring. The knitting cylinder is fixed to a frame. Two L-shaped support rods 1 are provided on the inner ring on the outer circumference of the knitting cylinder. 05-3, the vertical part of the L-shaped support rod is at the bottom and the horizontal part is at the top. An inverted triangular block 105-10 is installed on the side of the triangular block on the fixing ring. A pressure tapered column 105-4 is set on one of the L-shaped support rods. A stop needle 105-7 is rotatably connected to the hook needle through a rivet 105-14. The stop needle can rotate freely around the rivet. The function of the stop needle is that when the metal wire is stretched and woven, the stop needle can simulate the metal wire leaving the weaving cylinder, so as to achieve efficient cylinder weaving. The top of the pressure tapered column is installed by bolts, and the bottom end is pressed against the weaving wire inside the weaving cylinder by a cone foot, so as to prevent the weaving wire from leaving the knitting groove. The top of the inner ring is used to install the braiding cylinder and the fixing ring. The fixing ring is welded to the top surface of the inner ring. A columnar connecting frame is installed inside the braiding cylinder. The bottom of the columnar connecting frame extends downward through the inner ring to form an extended end. A connecting foot is provided on the extended end. The connecting foot is fixed to the lower end of the outer ring or the lower surface of the frame, so as not to interfere with the bevel gear disc.

[0043] The L-shaped support rod with an inverted triangular block is equipped with a lead-line groove 105-1 and a stop-needle ring 105-2. The lead-line groove is used to guide the metal wire. The stop-needle ring's function is to prevent the stop-needle from exceeding the metal wire woven by a single needle hook when the circular knitting mechanism is working and the needle hook moves upward through the triangular block, ensuring one stitch at a time. The pressure tapered cylinder is mounted on the bevel gear disc via the L-shaped rod. Due to the special properties of the metal wire compared to the wool thread, when the circular knitting mechanism rotates at high speed, the pressure tapered cylinder presses down on the knitting mesh to prevent it from detaching from the knitting groove, ensuring efficient knitting operation. When the knitting foot reaches the highest point through the triangular block, it is pressed back to the bottom by the inverted triangular pressure needle block, so that the needle hook connects the metal wire, achieving the knitting mesh effect. In the above-mentioned circular knitting mechanism, the knitting cylinder is fixed to the machine frame platform and remains relatively stationary. The knitting needle moves up and down relative to the knitting cylinder, and the up and down movement trajectory is adjusted by the triangular block and the inverted triangular block. The remaining parts fixed to the bevel gear disc rotate with the circumference of the disc.

[0044] In this embodiment, the triangular fixing ring is welded to the inner ring of the fixed disk. The triangular block and the inverted triangular block are connected and fixed to the triangular fixing ring by bolts. The bottom end of the knitting cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the outer ring of the fixed disk or to the bracket by a column-shaped connecting frame. The outer ring of the fixed disk is welded to the entire platform. The knitting cylinder remains fixed. The rotation of the inner ring drives the triangular fixing ring to rotate. When the circular knitting mechanism is working, the knitting cylinder rotates relative to the triangular block and the inverted triangular block. The circular turntable drives the triangular block and the inverted triangular block to rotate, thereby the knitting cylinder drives the hook to move back and forth in the hook groove.

[0045] In this embodiment, the circular knitting mesh flattening system includes symmetrically arranged pressure roller support plates 205. A small-diameter pressure roller 203 and a large-diameter pressure roller 204 are arranged correspondingly between the two pressure roller support plates. A flattening mesh motor 201 is arranged on the side of one of the pressure roller support plates on the frame. The flattening mesh motor and the small-diameter pressure roller are driven by a sprocket and chain 202. The purpose of the large and small diameter pressure rollers is to flatten the circular knitting mesh woven by the circular knitting system to facilitate subsequent yarn knitting.

[0046] In this embodiment, the composite woven mesh stretching and flattening system includes stretching roller support frames 502 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and stretching rollers 503 are installed vertically between the two stretching roller support frames. The end of one stretching roller and the end of the small diameter roller are driven by a sprocket and chain 501, that is, the center plane of the two stretching rollers is located in the vertical direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the knitting machine system includes a module mechanism 6, a knitting machine 403, and a guide wheel support frame 402.

[0048] In this embodiment, the module mechanism includes X-axis guide rails 605-1 arranged left, right, front, and back. The X-axis guide rails are mounted on the frame. A horizontal Y-axis module support block 604, perpendicular to the X-axis guide rail direction, slides between the two X-axis guide rails. Y-axis guide rails 605, parallel to the Y-axis module support block, are symmetrically mounted on the Y-axis module support block. A Y-axis nut seat 611 slides between the Y-axis guide rails. The knitting machine is mounted on the Y-axis nut seat. An X-axis lead screw module for driving the Y-axis module support block is mounted on the frame between the two X-axis guide rails. A Y-axis lead screw module for driving the Y-axis nut seat is mounted on the Y-axis module support block between the two Y-axis guide rails. A platform 610 is mounted on the Y-axis nut seat. The lead screw module is... Specifically, in the prior art, the X-axis lead screw module includes an X-axis lead screw, which is rotatably connected to an X-axis lead screw bearing seat 607-1. The X-axis lead screw bearing seat is fixed to the frame. The end of the X-axis lead screw is driven by an X-axis module motor 601-1.

A Y-axis nut seat, which slides with the rotation of the lead screw, is installed on the Y-axis lead screw. The Y-axis nut is fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform.

[0049] In this embodiment, the composite woven mesh recycling system includes recycling wheel support frames 703 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and a woven mesh recycling roller 701 is rotatably connected between the two recycling wheel support frames. A woven mesh recycling stepper motor 702 for driving the woven mesh recycling roller is installed on one of the recycling wheel support frames. The recycling system recycles the composite woven mesh into a finished roll.

[0050] In this embodiment, for rational design, the frame includes an integral chassis skeleton, with a chassis platform on the upper part of the integral chassis skeleton. The circular knitting system is installed on the chassis platform, and the chassis platform has a clearance opening for installing and fixing the disc. The circular knitting motor is installed on the lower surface of the chassis platform.

The circular knitting mesh flattening system is installed on the circular knitting mesh flattening system support frame. The composite knitting mesh stretching and flattening system, the knitting machine system, and the composite knitting mesh recycling system are all installed on the composite knitting mesh stretching and flattening system support frame.

[0051] Instructions for using this device:

[0052] Step 1) Circular Weaving of Metal Wire Mesh: Before operating this hybrid weaving equipment, the metal wire roller A needs to be manually installed. Install the metal wire roller A104 cylinder onto the frame platform. Pass the metal wire sequentially through the guide wheel, the empty sleeve of the metal wire guide rod, and the wire guide groove, then sequentially through the hooks of the hooks. During the initial wiring, pass the metal wire through two hooks with opposite diameters on the weaving cylinder, hooking the hooks together. Repeat this clockwise until all hooks are hooked with metal wire. Slowly start the circular weaving motor to begin the circular weaving of the metal wire. To allow the wire mesh to descend vertically from the center of the weaving cylinder, a heavy hook can be hung in the middle of the wire mesh.

[0053] Step 2) Flattening and Stretching of Circular Woven Wire Mesh: After weaving to a certain length using wire roller A, manually press the pre-tightening adjustment knob between the small-diameter and large-diameter pressure rollers to apply a certain pre-tension force to the woven wire mesh between the pressure rollers and the weaving cylinder. Then, start the flattening motor, while the circular weaving system continues to work, thus achieving continuous operation of circular woven wire mesh production and flattening. When the flattened wire mesh reaches a certain length, press it into the composite woven mesh stretching and flattening system, thereby achieving the effect of both flattening and stretching the cylindrical wire mesh.

[0054] Step 3) Knitting with the knitting machine: When the knitting machine system begins knitting, install the metal wire roller B on the circular knitting mesh flattening system support platform. Then, pass the metal wire through the guide wheel, the take-up bar slot, and the pointer slot in the knitting machine. Start the knitting mechanism servo motor and simultaneously start the Y-axis module motor. The circular knitting motor and the flattening mesh motor stop running. The Y-axis module mechanism drives the knitting machine system to move along the positive Y-axis for 60mm. The Y-axis module motor stops, and the X-axis module motor starts. The X-axis module mechanism drives the knitting machine to move along the X-axis for 15mm. Then, the X-axis module motor stops, and the Y-axis module motor starts, driving the knitting machine system to move along the negative Y-axis for 60mm. The Y-axis module motor stops, and the X-axis module motor starts, driving the knitting machine system to move along the positive X-axis for 15mm. At this point, one cycle of yarn knitting is complete. The X and Y axis modules then begin their cyclical movement, with a maximum X-axis stroke of 400mm. Yarn knitting is finished, the knitting machine needles return to their origin, and the circular knitting motor 106 and the flattening mesh motor continue operating. The knitting machine system pauses until the composite knitting mesh is recovered, then the above process repeats until the absolute encoder provides feedback, at which point the entire system stops moving and all motors cease operation. The knitting machine's trajectory is shown in the attached diagram. Figure 8 As shown, at least three types of weave lines can be used to create different shapes of wire mesh. A comparison diagram of circular weaving and combinations of wire and circular weaving is attached. Figure 9 As shown, the flowchart of the composite braiding machine control system is as follows: Figure 10 As shown.

[0055] Step 4) Composite Woven Mesh Recycling: After stretching the composite woven mesh to a certain length, manually wind the mesh onto the recycling rollers. Start the recycling stepper motor to recycle the composite woven mesh. The flattening motor, recycling stepper motor, and circular knitting motor operate simultaneously. The running time of the entire mechanism is set according to the number of wire rollers to achieve automatic composite mesh weaving and safe and stable operation.

8. A method of using a metal-rubber blank mixed weaving device, comprising the metal-rubber blank mixed weaving device as described in claim 7, characterized in that... ； Step 1) Circular Weaving of Metal Wire Mesh: Before operating the hybrid weaving equipment, the metal wire roller A needs to be manually installed. Install the metal wire roller A on the frame platform, and pass the metal wire sequentially through the guide wheel, the empty sleeve of the metal wire guide rod, the wire guide groove, and then through the hooks of the hooks. During the initial wiring, pass the metal wire through two hooks with opposite diameters on the weaving cylinder, and hook the hooks of the two hooks together. Similarly, hook them together clockwise until all hooks are hooked with the metal wire. Slowly start the circular weaving motor to begin the circular weaving of the metal wire. To allow the wire mesh to descend vertically at the center of the weaving cylinder, a heavy hook can be hung in the middle of the wire mesh. Step 2) Flattening and stretching of circular woven wire mesh: After the wire mesh is woven to a certain length by the metal wire roller A, the pre-tightening adjustment knob between the small-diameter pressure roller and the large-diameter pressure roller is manually pressed in to give the woven wire mesh between the pressure roller and the woven cylinder a certain pre-tightening force. Then the flattening wire mesh motor is started, and the circular woven system continues to work at the same time, so as to achieve continuous operation of circular woven wire mesh production and flattening. When the flattened wire mesh is produced to a certain length, it is pressed into the composite woven mesh stretching and flattening system, so as to achieve the effect of both flattening and stretching the cylindrical wire mesh. Step 3) Knitting Machine Operation: When the knitting machine system begins knitting, install the metal wire roller B on the circular knitting mesh flattening system support platform. Then, pass the metal wire through the guide wheel, the take-up lever slot, and the pointer slot in the knitting machine. Start the knitting mechanism servo motor, and simultaneously start the Y-axis module motor. The circular knitting motor and the flattening mesh motor stop running. The Y-axis module mechanism drives the knitting machine system to move along the positive Y-axis for 60mm. The Y-axis module motor then stops. The X-axis module motor starts, and the X-axis module mechanism drives the knitting machine to move along the X-axis for 15mm. Then, the X-axis module motor stops, and the Y-axis module motor starts. The axis module motor starts, driving the knitting machine system to move along the negative Y direction for 60mm. The Y-axis module motor stops, and the X-axis module motor starts, driving the knitting machine system to move along the positive X-axis for 15mm. At this point, one cycle of knitting is completed. The X and Y axis modules then perform periodic movements, with a maximum X-axis stroke of 400mm. Knitting is completed, and the knitting machine needles return to the origin. The circular knitting motor and the flattening wire mesh motor continue to run, and the knitting machine system pauses. After the composite knitting wire mesh is recovered, the above process is repeated until the absolute encoder provides a signal feedback, at which point the entire system stops moving and all motors stop working. Step 4) Composite woven mesh recycling: After stretching the composite woven mesh to a certain length, manually wind the composite woven mesh onto the woven mesh recycling roller, start the woven mesh recycling stepper motor to recycle the composite woven mesh. The flattening mesh motor, the woven mesh recycling stepper motor, and the circular braiding motor work simultaneously.
