[0044] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.
[0045] In the actual use and processing of the cable, it is found that the reasons affecting the processing efficiency and utilization of the cable mainly embody the following aspects:
[0046] 1) Since the original cable length is unknown, when cutting, if the cutting is completed, the subsequent cable length may not meet the next cutting requirement, or the remaining cable length is too short to be used, causing waste of the cable; if the cable length is too short to complete the cutting operation, the cable has to be unwound and wound again at this time, and the process needs to be assisted by manual operation, resulting in low cable processing efficiency.
[0047] 2) Since there are often damages, twists, broken lines and the like in the cable, potential risks exist in the subsequent use process, or the cable cannot be used at all, and it is difficult to process the cable by relying on the cutting device. If the cable defect is found in the cutting process, the effective length of the cable actually required to be cut is not enough, the unwound cable needs to be wound again, and if the cutting of the cable is completed at this time, the cable will be scrapped because it cannot be used, and a cable with a proper length also needs to be matched, resulting in shutdown or rework of the production line.
[0048] 3) Because the length interval of the intact cable available in the wire reel is unknown, if the long intact cable is cut into a short cable during use, the short cable cannot be used for subsequent production, which will cause great waste in cable processing, which is extremely unfavorable for enterprise production, and will directly lead to an increase in production cost, especially for valuable cables such as aviation cables.
[0049] Based on the above problems existing in the cable processing, a cable vertical storage method is given in the present application, which is used to establish a cable information database, and a cable supply method and a cable supply system based on the cable vertical storage method are given.
[0050] In an embodiment, the cable vertical storage method comprises the following steps:
[0051] S01, the cable to be processed is wound into a wire reel, and the cable is detected during winding, the detection data of the cable including the specification and model of the cable, the overall length, the position of the cable defect, the length of the available cable in each section of the cable, and the detection data is sent to the control system;
[0052] S02, the wound wire reel is stored in a designated storage position in the cable vertical storage, and the information data of the storage position is sent to the control system, and is associated with the detection data of the stored wire reel in the storage position.
[0053] The length of the available cable in each section of the cable here refers to the length data of the cable between two adjacent defects in the cable detection according to the position of the cable defect, and the length of the cable between the two adjacent defects is the length of the available cable.
[0054] In an embodiment, the cable supply method based on the above cable vertical storage method, with reference to Figure 1 , comprises the following steps:
[0055] G01, obtaining cable length requirement information; the cable length requirement information is usually obtained based on the required cable length in the cable cutting process;
[0056] G02, matching the wire reel meeting the length requirement in the control system, and obtaining the storage position information corresponding to the wire reel, and obtaining the corresponding wire reel according to the storage position information of the wire reel;
[0057] In this step, the method for matching the wire reel meeting the length requirement is:
[0058] Comparing the cable length with the available cable length in each wire reel, and selecting the wire reel with the available cable length greater than the cable length and the minimum difference between the two.
[0059] In this step, the method and principle of matching the reel and the optimization of the matching operation are as follows: for example, when the available cable length of a reel is 5 m, the optimal matching mode is to cut the cable into 5 m, the suboptimal matching mode is to cut the cable into 3 m and 2 m, the relatively poor matching mode is to cut the cable into 4 m or two 2 m cables, and at this time, 1 m of cable will be left over. If there is no subsequent demand for 1 m of cable, 1 m of waste material will be generated, thereby causing material waste.
[0060] In an embodiment, in step G02, after obtaining the storage location information corresponding to the reel, the storage location information is sent to the material transfer vehicle;
[0061] Then, the material transfer vehicle obtains the corresponding reel in the cable vertical warehouse and transports the reel to the cable cutting station to perform the cable cutting operation in the cable cutting device.
[0062] The material transfer vehicle herein can adopt an AGV trolley, and the AGV trolley is controlled by a control system to perform the automatic storage, taking and transportation of the reel between various stations, thereby realizing the automatic operation of the cable processing process.
[0063] In an embodiment, after the cable in the reel is cut by the cable cutting device at the cable cutting station, the cutting length information of the cable is obtained and sent to the control system.
[0064] Meanwhile, the cable data of the reel is updated in the control system to obtain the information of the reel after use, which is used for subsequent cable processing operations.
[0065] In an embodiment, after the cable cutting is completed, the material transfer vehicle transports the cut reel to the corresponding storage location in the cable vertical warehouse; the cut reel includes a cable using only part of the cable and an empty reel after the cable is completely used, and the state information and the corresponding storage location information of the empty reel are obtained for the subsequent cable winding process.
[0066] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and 2 , the cable supply system in this embodiment comprises:
[0067] a cable vertical warehouse for storing the wound reels and used reels;
[0068] a cable pre-winding device for winding the cable and detecting the cable during the winding process;
[0069] a control system for receiving the reel storage location information of the cable vertical warehouse and the cable detection data of the cable pre-winding device, and associating the reel storage location information with the cable detection data.
[0070] In an embodiment, the cable supply system further comprises a material turnover vehicle receiving instructions from the control system to store the wound cable reel, the used cable reel to the corresponding storage position in the cable vertical warehouse, or to take the cable reel from the corresponding storage position in the cable vertical warehouse and send the cable reel to the cable cutting device of the cable cutting station.
[0071] In an embodiment, the cable pre-winding device comprises:
[0072] A cable unwinding unit for supplying the cable to the winding unit;
[0073] A broken wire detection unit for detecting whether the wire of the cable has a broken defect;
[0074] A metering unit for detecting the overall length of the cable and the length of the available cable in each section of the cable;
[0075] A visual detection unit for detecting surface defects of the cable;
[0076] A winding unit for rewinding the unwound and detected cable on a reel;
[0077] The broken wire detection unit, the metering unit, and the visual detection unit are arranged between the cable unwinding unit and the winding unit.
[0078] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the cable pre-winding device in the embodiment comprises a cable unwinding unit 110, a broken wire detection unit 120, a metering unit 130, a visual detection unit 140, and a winding unit 150 arranged on a base frame. The broken wire detection unit 120, the metering unit 130, and the visual detection unit 140 are arranged between the cable unwinding unit 110 and the winding unit 150.
[0079] The cable unwinding unit 110 is used to install and unwind the original cable reel;
[0080] The cable 160 passes through the broken wire detection unit 120 and passes through a ring-shaped inductive switch to sense whether there is an object passing through. If the wire is broken, it cannot enter the ring-shaped switch. If the ring-shaped switch does not have a signal, it is considered that the cable 160 is broken.
[0081] The metering unit 130 measures the length of the unwound cable 160 in real time and measures the length of the available cable in each section between adjacent defects.
[0082] The visual detection unit 140 takes a photo of the surface of the unwound cable, judges whether there is damage to the surface, and sends a breakage signal to the control unit if damage is detected;
[0083] The winding unit 150 re-winds the cable 160 after unwinding detection.
[0084] The control system is used to control the cable pre-winding device, control the operation of the unwinding unit 110, the broken wire detection unit 120, the metering unit 130, the visual detection unit 140, and the winding unit 150, receive the breakage signal and the damage signal from the broken wire detection unit 120 and the visual detection unit 140, and mark the cable breakage and damage position in combination with the length data transmitted by the metering unit 130 to obtain the length information of the available cable in each section of the cable.
[0085] Specifically, the unwinding unit 110 includes a feeding support 111 and a standard unit mounting position 112, the standard unit mounting position 112 is arranged on the feeding support 111, and the standard unit mounting position 112 is used to mount the cable to be unwound.
[0086] The broken wire detection unit 120 is arranged between the metering roller 1321 and the traction device 131, and the broken wire detection unit 120 is configured with a capacitive ring switch, which outputs a signal when an object passes through and outputs no signal when there is no object. If the wire is disconnected, the ring switch outputs no signal to judge the broken wire, thereby detecting the broken wire defect in the cable.
[0087] The metering unit 130 includes a traction device 131 and a metering device 132. The traction device is a power equipment that actively transmits the cable of the feeding unit, and the metering device 132 actively transmits and measures the length of the cable output by the unwinding unit 110. The metering device 132 adopts two sets of metering rollers 1321, which are driven to rotate by a servo motor. An annular belt 1322 is arranged on each set of metering rollers 1321. The two belts 1322 clamp the cable 160 in the middle and do not slide between the belt 1322 and the cable 160. The number of pulses given to the servo motor is used to obtain the motor speed, and the diameter of the belt pulley is used to calculate the movement distance of the belt 1322. Since there is no relative slipping between the cable 160 and the belt 1322, the movement distance of the belt 1322 is the length of the cable, thereby realizing accurate measurement of the length of the cable.
[0088] A compression roller 1323 is arranged above the belt 1322, which is in contact with the belt 1322 and presses down to tension the belt 1322, preventing the belt 1322 from slipping on the metering roller 1321.
[0089] A tensioner 133 is arranged behind the metering roller 1321, and the cable enters the tensioner 133 after leaving the metering roller 1321, and the tensioner 133 is used to tension the cable. In order to realize the accuracy of metering, the tensioner 133 is arranged behind the metering roller 1321, and the cable enters the tensioner 133 after leaving the metering roller 1321, and the tensioner 133 is used to tension the cable. It should be noted that the tensioner 133 only needs to ensure that the cable is straight. The arrangement of the tensioner 133 can ensure the accuracy of metering and ensure that the cable will not be metered in a curved state.
[0090] The visual detection unit 140 is composed of a single camera installed on one side, or two cameras installed on the opposite side to realize visual detection of the cable. The visual detection unit 140 arranged between the metering unit 130 and the winding unit 150 uses a camera to visually detect the surface of the cable. In order to realize complete detection, cameras can be arranged on both sides of the cable for shooting. The camera transmits the image to the control system, and the control system analyzes the image. If the cable has surface damage, the damaged point is recorded and matched with the length obtained by the metering unit 130, so as to accurately mark the point of cable damage in the system, obtain the length information of each section of the cable, and store the image data for manual review and inspection.
[0091] The winding unit 150 includes an automatic winding mechanism 151 and a wire reel 152. The wire reel 152 is installed in the automatic winding mechanism 151 to complete the rewinding of the cable for metering and inspection. After the wire reel 152 is installed on the automatic winding mechanism 151, it is integrally installed on the AGV trolley 153 to realize the storage of the wire reel at a specified storage position of the cable vertical warehouse after winding. The automatic winding mechanism 151 is a rotating device matched with the speed of the traction device 131 of the metering unit 130 to realize the synchronization of winding operation and metering operation.
[0092] The control system can adopt a PLC controller to control the operation of the unwinding unit 110, the breakage detection unit 120, the visual detection unit 140, and the winding unit 150, and receive detection data of the breakage detection unit 120, the visual detection unit 140, and the metering unit 130. The detection data mainly includes the overall length of the cable, the breakage or damage position, the available cable length between the breakage or damage positions, and the like. Meanwhile, the control system also analyzes the image data transmitted by the visual detection unit 140 to obtain judgment data about whether there is damage, and marks in combination with the data of the metering unit 130. Similarly, the breakage detection unit 120 in combination with the length data of the metering unit 130 can realize accurate marking of the breakage position. The maximum undamaged available length of the cable can be known according to the cable length between the breakage or damage positions. The data obtained by the control system can be matched with the cable use demand to realize reasonable allocation of the shearing length and the available cable reel, so as to save raw materials and improve the cable processing efficiency.
[0093] The AGV trolley 153 is adopted to supply and transport the cable reel. The original cable reel (containing a plurality of cable ends on the cable reel) is placed on the base frame of the cable pre-winding device by the AGV trolley, and is sent to the pre-winding position by the transverse cylinder on the cable pre-winding device. The cable is sequentially threaded through the visual detection unit 140, the metering unit 130, the breakage detection unit 120, and the traction device by manual operation, and the cable reel 152 on the standard unit is reeled by the motor thereon. The cable reel 152 is unwound by the motor of the winding unit 150, and after the winding is completed, the wound cable reel is sent to the designated storage position of the cable vertical warehouse by the AGV trolley.
[0094] The cable supply system and the cable supply method thereof in the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0095] As shown in the cable supply system shown in Figure 1 and 2 , the cable supply system comprises a cable pre-winding device, an AGV trolley 153, a cable vertical warehouse 170, a cable cutting device, and a control system.
[0096] The AGV trolley runs between the cable pre-winding device and the cable vertical warehouse to transport the cable reel, and runs between the cable vertical warehouse and the cable cutting device 180 to transport.
[0097] The control system receives detection data of the cable pre-winding device and cutting demand data of the cable cutting device 180, so as to control the operation of the AGV trolley and the cable vertical warehouse. The detection data of the cable pre-winding device includes the cable specification and model, the overall length of the cable, the breakage or damage position of the cable, and the available length of the cable. The storage position of the cable reel in the cable vertical warehouse is allocated and recorded. The record of the storage position facilitates the in-out of the cable reel and the search for the position of the corresponding cable reel.
[0098] The operation steps of the cable supply method based on the cable supply system include:
[0099] 1) The cable pre-winding device pre-winds the cable entering the production and records the detection data during the pre-winding, the detection data including the model of the cable, the overall length, the broken or damaged position, the available length of the cable, and transmits the data obtained by the cable pre-winding device to the control system;
[0100] 2) The AGV car receives the control of the control system, transports the reel wound on the cable pre-winding device to the designated storage position in the cable vertical warehouse for storage, and transports the empty reel from the cable vertical warehouse to the cable pre-winding device;
[0101] 3) The control system receives the detection data of the cable pre-winding device, and according to the broken or damaged position of the cable in the detection data, the maximum available length of the cable is obtained, and the storage position of the reel in the cable vertical warehouse is allocated and recorded;
[0102] According to the length requirement of a certain specification of cable sent by the cable cutting equipment and the cable data of the reel in the cable vertical warehouse, the reel with the matching length is selected for out-of-warehouse;
[0103] The control system can also count the total storage of each specification of cable in the cable vertical warehouse and the length data of each specification of cable as reference data for the priority of in-warehouse cable replenishment and subsequent cutting; the total storage of the cable is used to record the remaining amount of the cable in the cable vertical warehouse, so that the warehouse personnel can know the material balance in time to determine whether the current specification of cable meets the production demand, and to preferentially replenish the material of the specification of cable with low inventory; when a certain reel of cable in the cable vertical warehouse matches the current cutting length of the cable, the reel is preferentially selected, and the matching here refers to the basic matching of the length or the basic absence of short cable waste after cutting;
[0104] Here, the control system also records the use of the cable in the reel and determines whether the current reel is an empty reel, and records the in-warehouse position of the empty reel; when an empty reel is needed, the AGV car transports the empty reel to the designated position for out-of-warehouse; of course, the empty reel can also be directly transported to another designated position in the cable vertical warehouse for placement and use, and the empty reel only needs to realize the circulation, and the present application only describes the transfer of the empty reel in the cable vertical warehouse;
[0105] 4) The AGV car receives the instruction of the control system, takes the matched reel at the designated storage position in the cable vertical warehouse, transports it to the cable cutting equipment, cuts the cable into a bundle after cutting, then uses the bundling equipment to bundle the cable to obtain the finished cable, and then the AGV car transports the cut cable or the empty reel on the cable cutting equipment to the cable vertical warehouse and exists at the corresponding storage position in the cable vertical warehouse.
[0106] The AGV trolley is used for realizing the transportation function and loading and unloading the wire coil of the AGV trolley, and the specific implementation mode and structure are not described herein.
[0107] The wire coil and the vertical warehouse in the application can be set as general equipment according to the general standard of the industry, so as to be adapted to the existing equipment.
[0108] In the description of the application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is used, and are only for the convenience of describing the application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the application.
[0109] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like in the description of the application do not mean that the components must be absolutely horizontal or vertical, but can be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined.
[0110] In the description of the application, it should also be noted that unless otherwise specified and limited, if the terms "arrangement", "installation", "connection", "connection" appear, they should be understood in a broad sense, for example, they can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or integrally connected, can be mechanically connected, or can be electrically connected, can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or can be connected between two elements.
