Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tire production devices, and in particular to a rubber-coated wire ring separation device. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of rubber products, wire rings are widely used in tires, conveyor belts and other rubber products that require high strength and high elasticity. Wire rings are bonded to rubber materials through wire ring composite bonding equipment and placed in storage devices for subsequent production and processing. However, during the transportation process, the separation of rubber-coated wire rings is a key step. However, this process still faces some challenges in the existing technology: ① Adhesion of adhesive layer: After applying adhesive, adhesive material will be transferred and adhered between adjacent wire rings. If stored on the support arm for a long time, the wire rings will also have a certain degree of adhesion due to pressure, making it difficult to separate. This adhesion may damage the adhesive layer and affect the quality of the final product. Risk of steel wire deformation: Improper separation force may cause steel wire deformation, and the deformed steel wire will affect the overall structure and performance of the tire. ② Low separation efficiency: Traditional manual separation methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and automated equipment has problems with insufficient accuracy and adaptability; ③ Influence of environmental factors: Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity will affect the viscosity of the adhesive layer, which increases the complexity and uncertainty of the separation process.

On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0016] In the description of the invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships referred to during the wire ring processing. For example, the front and back directions refer to the previous and next positions of the wire ring during the processing, with the previous processing station or conveying station being the front and the subsequent processing station being the rear. The above description is only for the convenience of describing the invention, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the invention.

[0017] like Figure 1-Figure 6 The glue-coated wire ring separation device shown includes a workbench 1, a wire ring storage device 2, an auxiliary separation component 4 and a pre-separation component 5 arranged on the workbench 1, a longitudinal separation component 6 arranged between the workbench 1 and the wire ring storage device 2, and a material pulling component 7 arranged on the workbench 1.

[0018] Specifically, workbench 1 is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the platform 101 is composed of a platform 101 and a platform 102 fixedly connected to the top of the platform 101, and the two are fixedly connected by four groups of support columns arranged at four corners. Figure 1 A position sensor 1011 is arranged on the left side surface, and the position sensor 1011 adopts a proximity position sensor, which is used to detect the distance between the front side of the stand 101 and the wire ring 3; a slide groove 1021 is arranged on the table 102, and the slide groove 1021 extends backward from the front end of the table 102 to the middle position of the table 102, and the rear end of the slide groove 1021 is the flow station 1022, and a material picking component 8 is arranged above the flow station 1022. In this embodiment, the material picking component 8 adopts a chuck structure. After the wire ring 3 is moved to the flow station 1022 through the pulling component 7, the wire ring 3 is fixed by the material picking component 8 and moved to the subsequent apex glue application station.

[0019] The wire ring storage device 2 is as follows Figure 1As shown, it includes an arm fixing bracket 201, a storage arm 202 and a conveying device. The storage arm 202 is fixed on the arm fixing bracket 201, and its length is distributed along the front-to-back direction. The rear end of the storage arm 202 is a separation station; the conveying device includes a conveying chain 203, a driving wheel 204, a driven wheel 205 and a conveying motor 206. The driving wheel 204 and the driven wheel 205 are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the storage arm 202 respectively, and the conveying chain 203 is connected between the driving wheel 204 and the driven wheel 205. The arm fixing bracket 201 is also fixedly connected with a motor bracket 207. The conveying motor 206 is fixed on the motor bracket 207, and the output end of the conveying motor 207 is transmission-connected to the driving wheel 204. The conveying chain 203 is driven to rotate by the conveying motor 206, thereby moving multiple groups of wire rings 3 backward to the separation station.

[0020] In addition, the storage arm 202 is a hollow and sealed tubular structure, and an air inlet 208 and a plurality of air outlets 209 are provided on the storage arm 202. The air inlet 208 is arranged at an end away from the separation station, and the air outlet 209 is arranged at an end close to the separation station, and multiple groups of air outlets 209 are arranged at intervals in the length direction and circumferential direction of the storage arm 202. The air inlet 208 is connected to the air outlet of the external hot air component through a hot air duct, and hot air is transported to the inside of the storage arm 202 through the hot air component and the hot air duct, and is blown toward the steel wire ring 3 through the plurality of air outlets 209, so as to preheat the steel wire ring 3 to soften and weaken the adhesive force between adjacent rings, making them easier to separate. At the same time, the hot air can also remove some impurities and debris mixed between the steel wire rings, reduce the resistance during separation, and improve the separation effect and efficiency.

[0021] The hot air temperature output by the above-mentioned hot air component is controlled at 40-60°C. At this temperature, the glue layer or adhesive can be softened, but it will not cause damage to the steel wire itself. If the temperature is too low (below 40°C), it may not be able to fully soften and weaken the adhesion between adjacent steel wire rings, and the separation effect will be affected. However, if the temperature is too high (over 60°C), it may cause certain thermal deformation or damage to the steel wire body, and also cause the glue layer to be over-softened, affecting the subsequent shape retention.

[0022] Auxiliary separation component 4 Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, it includes a first actuating cylinder 401 and a first magnet 402. The cylinder body of the first actuating cylinder 401 is fixed on the upper end surface of the stand 101. The length of the piston rod is distributed in the front-to-back direction and the movable end is fixedly connected to the first magnet 402. The first actuating cylinder 401 can drive the first magnet 402 to move forward to the separation station. In this embodiment, the auxiliary separation component 4 is symmetrically arranged in two groups. The first magnets 402 of the two groups of auxiliary separation components 4 are respectively distributed corresponding to the left and right sides of the upper part of the wire ring 3. The two groups of auxiliary separation components 4 can be used to magnetically fix the upper part of the wire ring 3 at the separation station to ensure that the wire ring 3 on the rear side is at the separation station.

[0023] Pre-separation component 5 Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a second actuating cylinder 501, a separation hook flipping motor 502, and a separation hook 503. The cylinder body of the second actuating cylinder 501 is fixed to the upper end surface of the stand 101, and the length of the piston rod is distributed along the front-to-back direction. The body of the separation hook flipping motor 502 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the piston rod of the second actuating cylinder 501, and the power output shaft of the separation hook flipping motor 502 is fixedly connected to the separation hook 503. The separation hook flipping motor 502 and the separation hook 503 can be driven by the second actuating cylinder 501. The hook 503 moves toward the separation station, and the separation hook 503 is driven to flip to the horizontal by the separation hook flip motor 503, so that the front end of the separation hook 503 is pressed between the wire ring 3 at the separation station and a group of wire rings 3 located in front of the separation station, and then the separation hook 503 is driven by the second action cylinder 501 to move horizontally backward, thereby separating the wire ring 3 at the separation station from the wire ring 3 in front. It should be noted that the height of the pre-separation component 5 is slightly higher than that of the auxiliary separation component 4. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, after the separation hook 503 flips over, it contacts the upper end of the wire ring 3, thereby driving the separation hook 503 to pull the upper part of the wire ring 3 backward through the second actuating cylinder 501. At the same time, the first actuating cylinder 401 and the second actuating cylinder 501 act synchronously to drive the wire ring 3 to move backward, and the distance that the first actuating cylinder 401 and the second actuating cylinder 501 pull backward is the thickness of one wire ring 3.

[0024] The pre-separation component 5 also includes a fifth actuating cylinder 504, an auxiliary pressure hook flipping motor 505 and an auxiliary pressure hook 506. The fifth actuating cylinder 504 is fixed on the upper end surface of the stand 101, and the length of its piston rod is horizontally distributed in the front-to-back direction. The body of the auxiliary pressure hook flipping motor 505 is fixed to the front end of the piston rod of the fifth actuating cylinder 504, and the power output shaft is fixed to the auxiliary pressure hook 506. The fifth actuating cylinder 504 can drive the auxiliary pressure hook flipping motor 505 and the auxiliary pressure hook 506 to move horizontally toward the separation station, and the auxiliary pressure hook 506 is driven to flip forward to a horizontal state by the auxiliary pressure hook flipping motor 505, and the auxiliary pressure hook 506 is pressed tightly on the upper end surface of a group of steel wire rings 3 located in front of the separation station. The auxiliary pressure hook 506 can fix the steel wire rings 3 in front of the separation station, so as to improve the separation effect of the steel wire rings 3 at the separation station.

[0025] The longitudinal separation component 6 is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it is arranged between the wire ring storage device 2 and the workbench 1, including a longitudinal fixed bracket 601, a third actuating cylinder 602, a separation baffle 603 and a second magnet 604. The cylinder body of the third actuating cylinder 602 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the front side of the longitudinal fixed bracket 601, and the piston rod moves vertically downward. The length of the separation baffle 603 is distributed along the height direction and the upper end is fixedly connected to the lower end of the piston rod of the third actuating cylinder 602. The structure of the separation baffle 603 is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the separation partition 603 is located directly above the separation station and is an inverted U-shaped plate structure. The middle position of the structure is hollow to facilitate the passage of other components to avoid interference. A group of second magnets 604 are fixed on the left and right sides of the rear side of the separation partition 603, and the two groups of second magnets 604 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part of the separation partition 603. The purpose of setting the structure here is that when the wire ring at the separation station is pulled backward with the separation component 5, the third actuating cylinder 602 drives the separation partition 603 to move vertically downward to the separation station, and separates the unseparated part of the lower part of the wire ring 3 through the separation partition 603. When the separation partition 603 falls into place, the second magnets 604 on the left and right sides of the upper part of the separation partition 603 absorb the upper part of the wire ring 3, and then the partition plate 603 and the wire ring 3 are driven to move upward by the third actuating cylinder 602 until the lower end of the wire ring 3 is flush with the upper end surface of the table 102.

[0026] Pulling component 7 Figure 1As shown, it is arranged on the lower end surface of the table 102, including a fourth actuating cylinder 701, a movable hook flipping motor 702 and a movable hook 703. The cylinder body of the fourth actuating cylinder 701 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the table 102, the axis of the piston rod is horizontally distributed along the front-to-back direction, and the front end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the body of the movable hook flipping motor 702, and the movable hook 703 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the movable hook flipping motor 703. The fourth actuating cylinder 701 can drive the movable hook flipping motor 702 and the movable hook 703 to move forward and backward, and the movable hook flipping motor 702 can drive the movable hook 703 to flip. In this embodiment, the fourth driving cylinder 701 drives the movable hook 703 to move toward the separation station. After moving into place, the movable hook flipping motor 702 drives the movable hook 703 to rotate to the position shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the state shown, the hook body of the movable hook 703 is in contact with the lower part of the wire ring 3, and the fourth driving cylinder 701 is actuated to drive the movable hook 703 to pull the wire ring 3 backward, thereby separating the wire ring 3 from the separation partition 603 and moving it to the upper end surface of the table 102, and the fourth actuating cylinder 701 drives the movable hook 703 to move along the slide groove 1021, thereby driving the wire ring 3 to move to the flow station 1022 on the table 102, and finally the wire ring 3 is moved to the subsequent station through the material picking component 8 to complete the separation and transportation of the wire ring.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
