Description

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automatic conveying systems, and in particular to an automatic conveying system for a weaving process. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of automation and robotics technologies, more and more industries have begun to apply these technologies to improve production efficiency and product quality. However, despite these technological advancements, the level of automation in the weaving industry remains relatively low, especially in material handling during the weaving process. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automated conveying system for the weaving process to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0003] Currently, warp beams are generally stored on the ground, which is an irregular practice. Furthermore, warp beams are transported manually using warp beam forklifts. When the warp beams are transported to the loom, the warp beams, heald frames, and stop warp pieces are then manually installed onto the loom. This operation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses safety hazards. Traditional solutions require a large number of personnel and manual equipment to complete the loading and unloading, and production arrangements are communicated and executed by personnel, which is prone to errors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an automatic conveying system for the weaving process that realizes the fully automatic loading and unloading of heald frames, reeds, and warp stops on an automatic guided trolley, thereby achieving fully automatic loading and unloading of materials in the weaving process of the textile industry. This greatly expands the application scope of weaving automation technology, improves production efficiency, and reduces labor costs.

[0005] The present invention provides an automated conveying system for a fabric weaving process, comprising a MES system, a scheduling system, a WMS system, and an automated guided vehicle;

[0006] The MES system is used to control the overall operation of the automatic conveying process in the weaving process. The MES system operates according to the production schedule and the status of the loom. The MES system and the equipment have interface interfaces, which can monitor the status of the equipment in real time.

[0007] The scheduling system is used to assign tasks to the automated guided vehicles (AGVs), enabling automatic loading and unloading of materials between the AGVs and warp beam storage, looms, and warping machines, thus allowing the AGVs to be used efficiently in the weaving process. The MES system and the scheduling and transportation system have also been integrated, eliminating the need for personnel to issue scheduling tasks and realizing intelligent production.

[0008] A WMS system helps enterprises achieve efficient warehouse management, including the management and control of all aspects of goods receiving, outbound, storage, picking, packaging, and distribution. Through a WMS system, enterprises can monitor inventory status in real time, improve warehouse operational efficiency, and reduce inventory costs.

[0009] The automated guided vehicle is used to automatically load and unload materials between the warp beam storage, loom, and warping machine according to instructions from the scheduling system.

[0010] By interacting with the automated guided vehicle (AGV) and warp beam storage, warp beams are automatically stored or fed into the storage. The AGV also interacts with the loom to automatically feed full rolls of warp beams to the loom or unload empty warp beams. Furthermore, the AGV interacts with the warping machine to unload full rolls of warp beams or feed empty warp beams to the warping machine. Through the interaction between the AGV, warp beam storage, loom, and warping machine via the MES, scheduling, and WMS systems, the AGV achieves fully automated loading and unloading of heald frames, reeds, and warp stops. This enables fully automated loading and unloading of materials in the textile weaving process, significantly expanding the application scope of weaving automation technology, increasing production efficiency, and reducing labor costs.

Then, the two sets of first connecting arms are driven to rotate in opposite directions by the linkage device. The two sets of first connecting arms rotate and support the cross arm to move back and forth by cooperating with the two sets of second connecting arms. This causes the cross arm to move the two sets of heald frame robots and two sets of warp stop clamps back and forth. Then, by controlling the extension and retraction length of the moving ends of the two sets of first electric cylinders, the two sets of first electric cylinders drive the lifting frame to move up and down. This causes the lifting frame to move the two sets of heald frame robots and two sets of warp stop clamps to move up and down. By adjusting the movement of the two sets of heald frame robots and two sets of warp stop clamps, the two sets of heald frame robots pick up and transport the heald frames, and the two sets of warp stop clamps clamp and transport the warp stop pieces, improving the convenience of automatic movement and transport of heald frames and warp stop pieces in the weaving process.

The automatic guide vehicle moves the base, causing the base to move the two sets of warp beam robotic grippers to the sides below the warp beam that needs to be loaded or unloaded. Then, the moving ends of the two sets of second electric cylinders extend and push the bracket to swing and rotate upward, thereby causing the bracket to move upward through the robotic arm and the two sets of warp beam robotic grippers to lift the warp beam. This improves the convenience of automatic warp beam loading and unloading, reduces the labor intensity of personnel, and improves work efficiency.

The four sets of connecting parts are respectively mounted on the outer walls of the two sets of first connecting arms and the two sets of second connecting arms. The two ends of the two sets of rods are respectively rotatably connected to the four sets of connecting parts. By controlling the extension and retraction length of the moving end of the third electric cylinder, the third electric cylinder drives one set of first connecting arms to rotate and swing, thereby enabling the two sets of first connecting arms to move in opposite directions through the transmission of the connecting parts and rods. At the same time, the two sets of second connecting arms swing and rotate through the connecting parts and rods, thereby improving the convenience of movement and adjustment of the two sets of heald frame manipulators and the two sets of warp stop clamps.
