Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an insulating sleeve feeding device, in particular to an insulating sleeve batch feeding device and a detection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] High-voltage insulating bushings in the power industry not only provide support but also play a crucial role in insulation, making them a crucial structural component of cable terminals. With the increasing mechanization and automation of the manufacturing industry, traditional manual loading methods have been gradually replaced by automated equipment. However, the loading process before packaging the insulating bushings is hampered by the short lifespan of the bushings loaded at a time, which impacts production efficiency. Furthermore, the heavy weight of the wound reels makes them difficult to handle, and frequent reel changes are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely difficult to calculate reel change times due to varying cut lengths and unpredictable defects. This can easily lead to empty reels without detection.

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the prior art has proposed a solution for batch loading of casings, but in the casing loading solution, there are the following prominent problems. Application No. CN201711052603.6 (A GPS antenna protection casing loading mechanism) realizes the loading of casings by setting a loading vibration plate, a loading transmission guide rail, etc., but it cannot realize batch loading of multiple discs of casings, and the energy consumed by the transmission guide rail during the transmission process is large, and the transmission efficiency is low; Application No. CN202320286023.8 (Casing loader) proposes a device that uses a loading component to place the casing on a discharge plate, and an equidistant conveying component to equidistantly convey it forward to the conveying mechanism to convey the casing forward, but it cannot well detect whether the conveying mechanism is empty, and cannot determine the conveying amount according to the remaining amount of the conveyed casing. In summary, the following problems are finally summarized: 1. The loading quantity is small, and it is impossible to realize separate loading and batch loading of various specifications; 2. It is impossible to detect whether the material tray is empty during the loading and transmission process; 3. The material tray is repeatedly moved during the loading process, and the loading efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the Invention: To address the above-mentioned issues, the present invention provides a batch feeding device for insulating sleeves that can achieve batch feeding and detect whether the tray is empty, thereby improving sleeve feeding efficiency, reducing feeding operation difficulty, and ensuring continuous operation of the tray. A detection method is also provided.

[0005] Technical solution: An insulating sleeve batch loading device, comprising a pay-off frame, a pay-off rod, a material tray, a detection assembly, a wire-passing assembly, a base, and a sleeve guide. The pay-off frame is vertically installed on the base. A plurality of pay-off rods are installed at intervals on the opposite side surfaces of the pay-off frame. A plurality of material trays are provided below the pay-off rods on both sides. The material trays are installed on the pay-off frame and arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction. A detection assembly is installed below each material tray. The wire-passing assembly is arranged at intervals on one side of the pay-off frame and installed on the base. Sleeve guides are installed on the opposite sides of the pay-off frame. The sleeve guides are installed on the upper part of the pay-off frame between the wire-passing assembly and the pay-off frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the detection component includes a pressure wheel, a pressure wheel fixing frame, a sensor, a sensor fixing frame, a bolt, and a short spring. The pressure wheel fixing frame is an upper and lower plate structure arranged at intervals, and its lower plate is connected to the wire pay-off frame. There are multiple bolts between the upper and lower plates, one end of the bolt is fixed to the lower plate, and the other end is passed through the upper plate. A short spring is respectively sleeved on each bolt, and the short spring is located between the upper plate and the lower plate. The pressure wheel is installed on the upper plate and fits with the corresponding material tray. The sensor is installed on one side of the pressure wheel through the sensor fixing frame, and the sensor fixing frame is connected to the pressure wheel fixing frame.

[0007] Preferably, the sensor is a proximity sensor.

[0008] Furthermore, the line passing assembly includes a connecting plate, an optical axis base plate, an optical axis, a long spring, a guide wheel fixing seat, an upper guide wheel, and a lower guide wheel. The connecting plate is horizontally installed on the upper part of one side of the wire pay-off frame, and two optical axis base plates are arranged at intervals, one of which is connected to the connecting plate and is installed with two sets of upper guide wheels, and the other is connected to the base and is installed with two sets of lower guide wheels. The upper guide wheel and the lower guide wheel are respectively connected to the corresponding optical axis base plates through the guide wheel fixing seats and correspond one to one up and down. Multiple optical axes are installed at intervals between the two optical axis base plates and are located between the upper guide wheel and the lower guide wheel. A long spring is sleeved on the outer circumference of each optical axis.

[0009] Preferably, the upper guide wheel and the lower guide wheel have the same structure, and the circumference of both wheels are provided with two circles of grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the sleeve guide includes a porcelain eye and a porcelain eye fixing plate. There are two porcelain eye fixing plates, which are arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction and connected to the wire rack respectively. Each porcelain eye fixing plate is provided with multiple porcelain eyes at intervals along the longitudinal horizontal direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the multiple pay-off rods on both sides of the pay-off frame are arranged in order from low to high starting from the side close to the wire-passing assembly, which can optimize the casing transmission path and avoid congestion.

[0012] Optimally, the number of payoff rods on each side of the payoff stand is equal to or less than the number of trays. The sleeves on the trays are conveyed around the payoff rods before being transported forward. The payoff rods ensure orderly conveyance of the sleeves, reducing clutter. To reduce manufacturing costs, the sleeves on the last or first tray can be conveyed directly forward without being routed around the payoff rods.

[0013] A detection method for the above-mentioned insulating sleeve batch feeding device includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: The casing on the tray is transported forward via the pay-off rod with the assistance of the detection component;

[0015] Step 2: The detection component detects the sleeve on the tray in real time. If the detection component does not detect that the tray is nearly empty, then go to step 3; otherwise, go to step 4.

[0016] Step 3: The tube continues to move forward through the porcelain eye built into the porcelain eye fixing plate and reaches the wire passing assembly;

[0017] Step 4: The detection component sends a signal to remind the staff to receive the material.

[0018] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. To avoid empty running, a detection structure is installed on the outside of the tray, which can detect it during the feeding and conveying process to determine whether the tray is empty. Compared with the traditional feeding device, the empty tray will not appear without anyone noticing due to uncontrollable factors in the conveying process after feeding;

[0020] 2. High production efficiency. By setting up multiple trays on the left and right sides, batch loading of products is achieved, which improves loading efficiency. Each tray has a separate conveying channel to meet the conveying requirements of sleeves of different colors and specifications;

[0021] 3. The structure is novel and there is no need for manual operation to move and unload the tray. When the detection alarm prompts that the tray is about to be empty, it is only necessary to connect the sleeve at the end of the tray with a new sleeve, while avoiding the operation of re-threading the product.
