[0048] like Figure 1-12 As shown, an automatic sorting and moving production system for I-shaped wheels in this embodiment includes a return conveyor belt 1 and a sorting mechanism 2. The sorting mechanism 2 is located at the right end of the return conveyor belt 1. The return conveyor belt 1 is used to transport the I-shaped wheels 4 from left to right.
[0049] Two baffles 11 are fixedly provided on the frame of the rewind conveyor belt 1. The two baffles 11 are symmetrically arranged front and back about the rewind conveyor belt 1, and the distance between the two baffles 11 gradually decreases from left to right;
[0050] The sorting mechanism 2 includes a sorting conveyor belt 21 and a grabbing assembly 22. A positioning seat 211 is fixedly provided on the frame of the sorting conveyor belt 21. A positioning groove 212 is provided on the left side of the positioning seat 211. The positioning groove 212 is V-shaped. Two buffer pads 213 are provided on the inner side wall of the positioning groove 212. The two buffer pads 213 are symmetrically arranged front to back.
[0051] The sorting mechanism 2 further includes a detection assembly 23, which is located on the left side of the positioning seat 211. The detection assembly 23 includes a detection frame 231, and the detection frame 231 is connected to a first detector 232 and a second detector 233. The first detector 232 and the second detector 233 are distributed on the left and right. There are two first detectors 232, and the two first detectors 232 are symmetrically arranged front and back with respect to the sorting conveyor belt 21.
[0052] The grabbing assembly 22 includes a bracket 221 and a gripper 222 . The bracket 221 is provided with a moving unit 223 , and the moving unit 223 is connected to the gripper 222 .
[0053] The moving unit 223 includes a left-right moving component 2231, a front-back moving component 2232, and a lifting component 2233. The front-back moving component 2232 is arranged on the movable portion of the left-right moving component 2231, and the lifting component 2233 is arranged on the movable portion of the front-back moving component 2232. The gripper 222 is connected to the movable portion of the lifting component 2233.
[0054] Here, the left-right moving component 2231 and the front-back moving component 2232 can both be a combination of a motor, a transmission belt, and a moving plate. When the motor is started, the transmission belt drives the moving plate to move, thereby achieving left-right movement of the front-back moving component 2232 and simultaneously achieving front-back, left-right movement of the lifting component 2233.
[0055] The lifting component 2233 includes a vertically arranged guide tube 22331, which is fixedly arranged on the moving part of the front-back moving component 2232. A second lifting rod 22332 is coaxially movably passed through the guide tube 22331. The gripper 222 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the second lifting rod 22332. The second lifting rod 22332 is driven to move up and down by a driving member.
[0056] The driving member includes a rack 22333 vertically fixed on the second lifting rod 22332, and a gear 22334 is engaged with the rack 22333, and the gear 22334 is driven by the lifting motor 22335;
[0057] The conduit 22331 is provided with two groups of guide wheels 22336, which are arranged one above the other. Each group of guide wheels 22336 has at least three guide wheels. The guide wheels 22336 in the same group are evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the conduit 22331. The wheel surfaces of the guide wheels 22336 abut against the second lifting rod 22332.
[0058] The lifting motor 22335 is started, causing the gear 22334 to rotate and drive the rack 22333 to rise and fall. The rise and fall of the rack 22333 drives the second lifting rod 22332 to rise and fall synchronously in the guide tube 22331, thereby achieving the lifting and lowering of the gripper 222. In combination with the left-right moving component 2231 and the front-back moving component 2232, the gripper 222 can be moved in the front-back, left-right, and up-and-down directions. During the lifting and lowering of the second lifting rod 22332, it is guided by the guide wheel 22336.
[0059] The front side of the sorting conveyor belt 21 is provided with three groups of placement components 24, and the three groups of placement components 24 are distributed from left to right;
[0060] The placement assembly 24 includes right-angle positioning posts 241 and front and rear positioning posts 242 distributed left and right;
[0061] The positioning seat 211 is provided with a lifting assembly 25, which includes a lifting drive unit 251 and two lifting execution units 252. The two lifting execution units 252 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the sorting conveyor belt 21. The two lifting execution units 252 are both connected to the lifting drive unit 251. The lifting drive unit 251 is used to drive the two lifting execution units 252 to move up and down.
[0062] The lifting execution unit 252 includes a lifting rod 2521 and a rotating rod 2522. The lifting rod 2521 is connected to the lifting drive unit 251. The lifting rod 2521 and the rotating rod 2522 are arranged up and down. The rotating rod 2522 is arranged horizontally. The top of the rotating rod 2522 is hinged to the lifting rod 2521 through a pin 2523. A spring 2524 and an airbag 2 are provided between the lifting rod 2521 and the rotating rod 2522. 525, the spring 2524 is connected to the lifting rod 2521 and the rotating rod 2522 respectively. The rotating rod 2522 is provided with a cavity 2526. The airbag 2525 is connected to the cavity 2526 of the rotating rod 2522 through the air tube 2527. The rotating rod 2522 is provided with an air hole 2528. The cavity of the airbag 2525, the cavity of the air tube 2527, the cavity 2526 and the cavity in the air hole 2528 form an airway;
[0063] A limit rod 2529 is further provided between the lifting rod 2521 and the rotating rod 2522. The limit rod 2529 is fixedly provided on the rotating rod 2522 and abuts against the lifting rod 2521.
[0064] The lifting drive unit 251 includes a lifting plate 2511, which is fixedly connected to a lifting rod 2521. The lifting plate 2511 is driven to rise and fall by a cylinder 2512.
[0065] Working principle:
[0066] During operation, multiple rewinding packaging devices 3 are arranged from left to right on the rewinding conveyor belt 1. After the wire rope is evenly wound on the I-shaped wheel 4 by the rewinding packaging devices 3, the I-shaped wheel 4 is removed and placed on the rewinding conveyor belt 1. The I-shaped wheel 4 is conveyed between the two baffles 11 by the rewinding conveyor belt 1. As the rewinding conveyor belt 1 continues to convey the I-shaped wheel 4, the two baffles 11 form a front-to-back block for the I-shaped wheel 4 and move the I-shaped wheel 4 toward the center of the rewinding conveyor belt 1, thereby achieving the front-to-back positioning of the I-shaped wheel 4.
[0067] Next, the spool 4 moves to the sorting conveyor belt 21 and is moved from left to right by the sorting conveyor belt 21. The appearance of the spool 4 and the effect of the wire rope winding are inspected by the first detector 232 and the second detector 233. As the spool 4 continues to move on the sorting conveyor belt 21, the spool 4 moves into the positioning groove 212 of the positioning seat 211 and abuts against the buffer pad 213, and the buffer pad 213 provides buffering.
[0068] Then, the moving unit 223 drives the gripper 222 to move forward and backward, left and right, and up and down, and moves the gripper 222 to the spool 4 in the positioning groove 212; after the gripper 222 grasps the spool 4, the moving unit 223 drives the gripper 222 to move to the placement component 24;
[0069] In addition, a bracket 5 is placed at each placement component 24 in advance. In fact, the bracket 5 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and one corner of the bracket 5 is placed against the right-angle positioning column 241. At the same time, the bracket 5 is fitted with the front side of the front and rear positioning columns 242 to achieve the positioning of the bracket 5. Then, a partition 6 is placed on the top of the bracket 5. The partition 6 is also positioned by the placement component 24, and the positioning method is the same as that of the bracket 5. The spools 4 grabbed by the gripper 222 are placed in a matrix on the top of the partition 6. When the spools 4 on the partition 6 are full, that is, the placement of one layer of spools 4 is completed, the next partition 6 is placed on this layer of spools 4, and so on until three layers of spools 4 are placed on the same bracket 5. The bracket 5 is removed, that is, the three layers of spools 4 that have been placed are removed, and the bracket 5 is replaced.
[0070] In addition, the spool 4 is composed of a winding portion 41 and two limiting portions 42. The two limiting portions 42 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the winding portion 41. The wire rope is wound on the winding portion 41. When the spool 4 moves into the positioning groove 212 of the positioning seat 211, the spool 4 cannot continue to move to the right. In order to avoid wear between the sorting conveyor belt 21 and the spool 4 due to continued movement, the rotating rod 2522 is located at the two limiting portions 42 at this time. Subsequently, the lifting plate 2511 is driven to rise by the cylinder 2512, and the lifting plate 251 1 rises, driving the rotating rod 2522 to rise synchronously. As the rotating rod 2522 rises, the rotating rod 2522 lifts the upper limit portion 42, thereby separating the I-shaped wheel 4 from the sorting conveyor belt 21. Here, the rotating rod 2522 is subjected to the gravity of the I-shaped wheel 4 and the gravity of the rotating rod 2522 itself, which is simultaneously transmitted to the spring 2524. According to calculations, the elastic force of the spring 2524 is greater than the gravity acting on the spring 2524. That is, at this time, the lifting rod 2521 and the rotating rod 2522 are in a relatively static state.
[0071] When the gripper 222 grabs the spool 4 and moves it out of the positioning groove 212, the grabbing action is to first grab the spool 4 upwards. After the spool 4 moves upwards, the lower limiting portion 42 abuts against the rotating rod 2522. As the spool 4 continues to rise, the lower limiting portion 42 pushes the rotating rod 2522 to rotate around the pin 2523, and the spring 2524 is deformed, and at the same time, the space between the airbag 2525 and the lifting rod 2521 is reduced. In fact, during the initial state of the airbag 2525, the lifting rod 2521 and the rotating rod 2522 squeeze the airbag 2525, so that the airbag 2525 is in a compressed state, so that the volume of the airbag 2525 increases at this time, and the air is transported from the air hole 2528, the cavity 2526 and the air pipe 2527 in sequence. When the limit part 42 below the I-wheel 4 is separated from the rotating rod 2522, the lifting plate 2511 is driven down by the cylinder 2512 to reset, and the rotating rod 2522 is rotated in the opposite direction by the elastic force of the spring 2524 to reset, and the limit rod 2529 is abutted against the lifting rod 2521 to limit. At the same time, the rotating rod 2522 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the rotating rod 2522 and the lifting rod 2521 squeeze the airbag 2525, so that the air in the airbag 2525 is discharged from the air pipe 2527, the cavity 2526 and the air hole 2528 in turn and acts on the bottom of the I-wheel 4. Under the action of the airflow, impurities at the bottom of the I-wheel 4 are blown away to prevent the impurities from affecting the stability of the I-wheel 4 placed on the partition 6. In summary, the automatic sorting of the I-spool 4 is achieved, the labor intensity of workers is reduced, and work efficiency is improved. Moreover, while the I-spool 4 is waiting to be grabbed by the gripper 222, the I-spool 4 is separated from the sorting conveyor belt 21, and wear occurs between the sorting conveyor belt 21 and the I-spool 4 during movement. In addition, impurities at the bottom of the I-spool 4 are blown away by the action of the airflow, preventing the impurities from affecting the stability of the I-spool 4 placed on the partition 6.
[0072] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention also includes other implementation methods. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
