Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tire production equipment technology, and in particular to a device for separating rubber-coated steel wire rings. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of rubber products, steel wire rings are widely used in tires, conveyor belts, and other rubber products requiring high strength and elasticity. The steel wire rings are bonded to the rubber material using steel wire ring bonding equipment and then stored for subsequent processing. However, separating the bonded steel wire rings during transport is a critical step; yet, this process still faces some challenges in the current technology.

[0003] ① Adhesive layer adhesion problem: After the adhesive is applied, adhesive substances will transfer and adhere between adjacent steel wire rings. If stored on the control arm for a long time, the steel wire rings will also adhere to a certain extent due to pressure, making separation difficult. This adhesion may damage the adhesive layer and affect the quality of the final product; Steel wire deformation risk: Improper separation force may cause steel wire deformation, and deformed steel wires will affect the overall structure and performance of the tire.

[0004] ②Low separation efficiency: Traditional manual separation methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, while automated equipment suffers from insufficient precision and adaptability;

[0005] ③ Environmental factors: Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can affect the viscosity of the adhesive layer, which increases the complexity and uncertainty of the separation process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems of difficult and inefficient separation of adhesive-coated steel wire coils, this invention provides an adhesive-coated steel wire coil separation device, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for separating adhesive-coated steel wire coils, characterized in that it comprises:

[0008] A workbench, wherein a transfer station is provided on the workbench;

[0009] A wire ring storage device is set in front of the workbench and includes a storage arm. The end of the storage arm near the workbench is a separation station. A conveying device is provided on the storage arm to convey the wire ring to the separation station.

[0010] The auxiliary separation component is located behind the separation station and consists of a first driving device and a first magnetic attraction device connected to the output end of the first driving device. The first driving device drives the first magnetic attraction device to move toward the separation station and magnetically attracts the steel wire ring.

[0011] The pre-separation assembly consists of a separation hook located behind the separation station, a second drive device for moving the separation hook back and forth, and a separation hook flipping device connected between the output end of the second drive device and the separation hook for flipping the separation hook. The second drive device moves the separation hook toward the separation station and rotates the separation hook through the separation hook flipping device to engage with the upper part of the wire ring, thereby pulling the wire ring backward through the second drive device.

[0012] The longitudinal separation assembly consists of a separation partition set above the separation station, a third drive device for moving the separation partition up and down, and a second magnetic suction device set on the side of the separation partition near the worktable. After the third drive device moves the separation partition down to the separation station, the steel wire ring is fixed by the second magnetic suction device, and the steel wire ring is moved up to the front side above the transfer station by the third drive device.

[0013] The material pulling assembly consists of a movable hook located behind the separation partition, a fourth drive device for driving the movable hook to move back and forth, and a movable hook flipping device connected between the output end of the fourth drive device and the movable hook. The fourth drive device drives the movable hook to move toward the separation partition, and the movable hook flipping device drives the movable hook to rotate so that it can cooperate with the steel wire ring on the separation partition. Then, the fourth drive device drives the steel wire ring to move to the transfer station.

[0014] Furthermore, the pre-separation assembly also includes an auxiliary pressure hook, a fifth driving device for moving the auxiliary pressure hook back and forth, and an auxiliary pressure hook flipping device connected between the auxiliary pressure hook and the fifth driving device. The fifth driving device drives the auxiliary pressure hook to move toward the separation station and the auxiliary pressure hook flipping device drives the auxiliary pressure hook to press against the upper end of the wire ring located in front of the separation station.

[0015] Furthermore, the second drive device drives the separation hook to move toward the separation station and rotates the separation hook through the separation hook flipping device to engage with the wire ring, so that the second drive device pulls the wire ring backward by at least the thickness of the wire ring.

[0016] Furthermore, the storage arm is a hollow tubular structure with sealed ends. The storage arm is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air outlet of the hot air assembly. The air outlet is located near the separation station and there are multiple sets of them.

[0017] Furthermore, the conveying device includes a conveyor chain, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a drive motor. The drive wheel and the driven wheel are rotatably connected to both ends of the storage arm along its length. The conveyor chain is connected between the drive wheel and the driven wheel. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the drive wheel via a transmission.

[0018] Furthermore, the workbench consists of a frame and a plate fixedly connected to the top of the frame, the auxiliary separation component is located above the frame, and the pre-separation component is located below the plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the platform is provided with a chute for the separation hook to slide through, and the transfer station is located at the end of the chute away from the storage support arm.

[0020] Furthermore, the workbench is also equipped with a positioning detection device to detect the distance between the wire ring and the separation station.

[0021] Furthermore, the positioning detection device includes a proximity position sensor, which is fixedly connected to the workbench and located behind the separation station.

[0022] Furthermore, a material handling component is also provided above the transfer station.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0024] 1. After the conveying device transports the steel wire ring to the separation station, the upper part of the steel wire ring is magnetically fixed in advance by the auxiliary separation component to ensure that the steel wire ring is in the separation station, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of separation.

[0025] 2. The upper part of the wire ring is pre-separated by the pre-separation component, which facilitates the subsequent longitudinal separation component to separate the entire wire ring;

[0026] 3. In the pre-separation assembly, before the upper part of the steel wire ring at the separation station is pulled backward by the separation hook, an auxiliary pressure hook is set to press and fix a set of steel wire rings located in front of the separation station, so as to avoid separation failure due to the adhesion between the two sets of steel wire rings when the steel wire rings are pulled, thereby further improving the separation effect and separation efficiency of the steel wire rings;

[0027] 4. In the longitudinal separation assembly, the separated steel wire ring is fixed by a second magnet, and the second magnet is set on the upper part of the separation partition to prevent the steel wire ring from moving downward when the separation partition moves down. The steel wire ring is fixed by the second magnet after the separation partition moves down into place.

[0028] 5. The storage support arm is heated by an external hot air device to soften and weaken the adhesive force between adjacent steel wire rings, making them easier to separate. At the same time, the hot air can also remove some impurities and debris trapped between the steel wire rings, reduce the resistance during separation, and improve the separation effect and efficiency.

[0029] 6. The overall structure is automated, which can automatically separate the steel wire ring and transport it to the subsequent processing station, with high separation efficiency and good effect. Attached Figure Description

[0045] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0046] In the description of the invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship referred to during the processing of the wire ring. For example, the front and rear directions refer to the sequential positions of the wire ring during the processing. The earlier processing station or conveying station is the front, and the later processing station is 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 orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the invention.

[0047] like Figures 1-6 The illustrated adhesive-coated steel wire ring separation device includes a worktable 1, a steel wire ring storage device 2, an auxiliary separation component 4 and a pre-separation component 5 disposed on the worktable 1, a longitudinal separation component 6 disposed between the worktable 1 and the steel wire ring storage device 2, and a material pulling component 7 disposed on the worktable 1.

[0048] Specifically, workbench 1 is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it consists of a frame 101 and a platform 102 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 101. The two are fixedly connected by four sets of support columns at the four corners. The front side of the frame 101 is... Figure 1 A position sensor 1011 is provided on the left side of the frame 101. The position sensor 1011 is a proximity position sensor used to detect the distance between the front side of the frame 101 and the wire ring 3. A slide groove 1021 is provided on the platform 102. The slide groove 1021 extends from the front end of the platform 102 to the middle position of the platform 102. The rear end of the slide groove 1021 is the transfer station 1022. A material picking component 8 is provided above the transfer station 1022. In this embodiment, the material picking component 8 adopts a chuck structure. When the wire ring 3 is moved to the transfer station 1022 by the material pulling component 7, the material picking component 8 fixes the wire ring 3 and moves it to the subsequent triangular adhesive application station.

[0049] Wire ring storage device 2 Figure 1As shown, the device includes a support arm fixing bracket 201, a storage support arm 202, and a conveying device. The storage support arm 202 is fixed on the support arm fixing bracket 201 and its length is distributed along the front-to-back direction. The rear end of the storage support arm 202 is the separation station. The conveying device includes a conveying chain 203, a drive wheel 204, a driven wheel 205, and a conveying motor 206. The drive wheel 204 and the driven wheel 205 are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the storage support arm 202, respectively. The conveying chain 203 is connected between the drive wheel 204 and the driven wheel 205. A motor bracket 207 is also fixedly connected to the support arm fixing bracket 201. The conveying motor 206 is fixed on the motor bracket 207, and the output end of the conveying motor 207 is connected to the drive wheel 204 for transmission. The conveying motor 206 drives the conveying chain 203 to rotate, thereby moving multiple sets of steel wire rings 3 to the separation station.

[0050] In addition, the storage arm 202 is a hollow and sealed tube structure. The storage arm 202 is provided with an air inlet 208 and multiple air outlets 209. The air inlet 208 is located at the end away from the separation station, and the air outlets 209 are located at the end closer to the separation station. Multiple sets of air outlets 209 are arranged at intervals along the length and circumference of the storage arm 202. The air inlet 208 is connected to the air outlet of the external hot air assembly through a hot air duct. Hot air is delivered into the storage arm 202 through the hot air assembly and hot air duct, and blown onto the steel wire ring 3 through the multiple air outlets 209, thereby preheating 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 trapped between the steel wire rings, reduce the resistance during separation, and improve the separation effect and efficiency.

[0051] The hot air temperature output by the hot air component is controlled between 40 and 60°C. At this temperature, the adhesive layer or adhesive material can be softened without damaging 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 coils, and the separation effect will be affected. However, if the temperature is too high (above 60°C), it may cause certain thermal deformation or damage to the steel wire body, and at the same time, it will cause the adhesive layer to soften excessively, affecting the subsequent shape retention.

[0052] Auxiliary separation component 4, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, the assembly includes a first actuating cylinder 401 and a first magnet 402. The cylinder body of the first actuating cylinder 401 is fixed to the upper end face of the frame 101. The piston rod is distributed along the front-back direction and its 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, two sets of auxiliary separation components 4 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The first magnets 402 of the two sets of auxiliary separation components 4 are respectively distributed on the upper left and right sides of the wire ring 3. The two sets of auxiliary separation components 4 can magnetically fix the upper part of the wire ring 3 at the separation station, ensuring that the last wire ring 3 is in the separation station.

[0053] Pre-separation component 5, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a second actuating cylinder 501, a separating hook tilting motor 502, and a separating hook 503. The cylinder body of the second actuating cylinder 501 is fixed to the upper end face of the frame 101, and the piston rod is distributed along the front-rear direction. The body of the separating hook tilting motor 502 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the piston rod of the second actuating cylinder 501. The power output shaft of the separating hook tilting motor 502 is fixedly connected to the separating hook 503. The second actuating cylinder 501 can drive the separating hook tilting motor 502 and the separating hook 503. The hook 503 moves towards the separation station, and the separation hook 503 is rotated to a horizontal position by the separation hook flipping motor 503, so that the front end of the separation hook 503 presses between the steel wire ring 3 at the separation station and a set of steel wire rings 3 located in front of the separation station. Then, the second actuating cylinder 501 drives the separation hook 503 to move horizontally backward, thereby separating the steel wire ring 3 at the separation station from the steel wire ring 3 in front. It should be noted that the pre-separation component 5 is slightly higher than the auxiliary separation component 4. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, after the release hook 503 flips over, it contacts the upper end of the wire ring 3, thereby driving the release hook 503 to pull the upper part of the wire ring 3 backward through the second action cylinder 501. At the same time, the first action cylinder 401 and the second action cylinder 501 act synchronously, driving the wire ring 3 to move backward. The distance that the first action cylinder 401 and the second action cylinder 501 pull backward is the thickness of the wire ring 3.

[0054] The pre-separation assembly 5 also includes a fifth action cylinder 504, an auxiliary pressure hook flipping motor 505, and an auxiliary pressure hook 506. The fifth action cylinder 504 is fixed on the upper end face of the frame 101, and its piston rod is horizontally distributed along the front-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 action cylinder 504, and the power output shaft is fixed to the auxiliary pressure hook 506. The fifth action cylinder 504 can drive the auxiliary pressure hook flipping motor 505 and the auxiliary pressure hook 506 to move horizontally toward the separation station. The auxiliary pressure hook flipping motor 505 drives the auxiliary pressure hook 506 to flip forward to a horizontal state, and the auxiliary pressure hook 506 presses against the upper end face of a set 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, which is conducive to improving the separation effect of the steel wire rings 3 at the separation station.

[0055] Vertical separation component 6, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a device positioned between the wire coil storage device 2 and the worktable 1 includes a longitudinal fixed bracket 601, a third actuating cylinder 602, a separating partition 603, and a second magnet 604. The cylinder body of the third actuating cylinder 602 is fixedly connected to the upper front side of the longitudinal fixed bracket 601, and the piston rod moves vertically downward. The separating partition 603 is distributed along the height direction, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the lower end of the piston rod of the third actuating cylinder 602. The structure of the separating partition 603 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the separation partition 603, located directly above the separation station, has an inverted U-shaped plate structure. The middle of this structure is hollow, allowing other components to pass through and avoiding interference. A set of second magnets 604 is fixed on both the left and right sides of the rear side of the separation partition 603, and the two sets of second magnets 604 are symmetrically arranged on the upper left and right sides of the separation partition 603. The purpose of this structure is that when the separation component 5 pulls the wire ring at the separation station backward, the third actuation cylinder 602 drives the separation partition 603 to move vertically downward to the separation station. The separation partition 603 separates the unseparated lower part of the wire ring 3. After the separation partition 603 falls into place, the second magnets 604 on the upper left and right sides of the separation partition 603 attract the upper part of the wire ring 3, and then the third actuation cylinder 602 drives the partition 603 and the wire ring 3 to move upward until the lower end of the wire ring 3 is flush with the upper surface of the platform 102.

[0056] Material pulling assembly 7 Figure 1As shown, a fourth actuating cylinder 701, a moving hook tilting motor 702, and a moving hook 703 are disposed on the lower end surface of the platform 102. The cylinder body of the fourth actuating cylinder 701 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the platform 102. The piston rod axis is horizontally distributed along the front-back direction, and the front end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the body of the moving hook tilting motor 702. The moving hook 703 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the moving hook tilting motor 703. The fourth actuating cylinder 701 can drive the moving hook tilting motor 702 and the moving hook 703 to move back and forth. The moving hook tilting motor 702 can drive the moving hook 703 to tilt. In this embodiment, the fourth actuating cylinder 701 drives the moving hook 703 to move toward the separation station. After moving to the position, the moving hook tilting motor 702 drives the moving hook 703 to rotate to the desired position. 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. The fourth drive cylinder 701 is activated 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 surface of the platform 102. The fourth drive cylinder 701 drives the movable hook 703 to move along the slide 1021, thereby moving the wire ring 3 to the transfer station 1022 on the platform 102. Finally, the wire ring 3 is moved to the subsequent station by the material picking component 8, completing the separation and conveying of the wire ring.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
