Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of winding devices, and in particular relates to an automatic winding machine. Background Art

[0002] The winding machine is a special equipment for the textile industry. As the last process of spinning and the first process of weaving, the winding machine plays a bridging role, and therefore occupies an important position in the textile field. The winding machine can adapt to the processing of various fibers, and can be processed and adjusted in different ways to meet various production needs. Traditional winding machines, such as the drum car, cannot automatically replace the bobbin to wind the next bobbin after the bobbin is wound with a specified amount of yarn. The bobbin that has been wound is swapped with the spare bobbin by rotation, and then the bobbin that has been wound is removed by manual replacement, resulting in low efficiency and requiring manual labor to stay next to the machine to monitor and replace the bobbin at any time.

[0003] For example, a Chinese invention patent discloses a winding machine that can automatically replace paper tubes [application number CN202010768438.X], comprising a storage shell and a storage cavity arranged in the storage shell, wherein paper tubes are stored in the storage cavity, and a lower opening is provided at the right end of the storage cavity, and a replacement cavity is provided in the storage shell, and the replacement cavity and the storage cavity are connected through the lower opening. Compared with the traditional grooved drum winder, the present invention adds the function of automatic replacement of paper tubes, and removes the grooved drum to directly rotate the spindle for winding. The user can set the amount of yarn to be wound on each paper tube. When the wound yarn reaches the specified amount, the device will start to automatically replace the paper tube, collect the paper tubes that have been wound with yarn, and then install a new paper tube for re-winding. Although this technical solution realizes automatic tube replacement, the operation of automatic tube replacement is relatively complicated. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic winding machine in view of the above problems.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] In the above-mentioned automatic winding machine, the tube storage structure comprises a placing rack, a tube storage cavity is arranged in the placing rack and a transport surface is formed, and the outlet of the transport surface can be connected to the inlet of the tube delivery structure.

[0008] In the above-mentioned automatic winding machine, the transport surface is provided with at least one anti-jumping plate at its exit, the anti-jumping plate is arranged on the side of the transport surface, and an inclined surface is provided at one end of the anti-jumping plate away from the transport surface exit.

The upper pressing plate is placed in an inclined state, and the distance between the upper pressing plate and the inner wall of the bottom of the placement cavity gradually decreases from one end close to the transport surface to the other end.

[0011] In the above-mentioned automatic winding machine, a torsion spring support shaft is fixed in the placement cavity, the upper pressing plate is rotatably connected to the torsion spring support shaft, and a torsion spring is further provided between the upper pressing plate and the torsion spring support shaft.

[0012] In the above-mentioned automatic winding machine, the winding and tube changing structure includes a flip shaft, both ends of the flip shaft are arranged on a support frame, the support frame is fixed on the frame, the power source of the flip shaft is arranged in the support block, and the flip shaft is also provided with a tube mounting structure.

[0013] In the above-mentioned automatic winding machine, the tube loading structure includes a left arm and a right arm arranged on the flip axis, the end of the right arm away from the flip axis is provided with a right support block, the end of the left arm away from the flip axis is provided with a linear drive, the output shaft of the linear drive is connected to the left support block, and the left support block can approach or move away from the right support block.

[0014] In the above-mentioned automatic winding machine, the right support block is rotatably connected to the right arm, a rotating motor is provided in the right arm, a transmission belt is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor, the other end of the transmission belt is connected to the right support block, the cross-sections of the left support block and the right support block are truncated cone-shaped, and the side with a smaller diameter is located on the inner side, and a plurality of racks are provided on the outer surface of the right support block.

[0020] 4. The position of the left arm and the right arm can be adjusted according to the length of the wire tube. The distance between the left arm and the right arm can be adjusted by sliding the left arm and the right arm with the slide groove, and the left arm and the right arm can be fixed by bolts and nuts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] The present invention provides an automatic winding machine, combined with Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes a frame 10, and at least one pipe storage structure 11 is provided at the upper end of the frame 10. The outlet of the pipe storage structure 11 is connected to a pipe delivery structure 12 with a lifting function. Below the pipe storage structure 11, there is a winding and changing pipe structure 13 arranged on the frame 10 and with a winding function.

[0031] In this embodiment, the pipe storage structure 11 is used to place multiple spare wire pipes 100. During the automatic pipe changing process, the spare wire pipe falls from the outlet of the pipe storage structure 11 and moves into the pipe delivery structure 12. Then the pipe delivery structure 12 descends and moves with the spare wire pipe to the winding pipe changing structure 13, and is replaced by the winding pipe changing structure 13. After replacement, the wire is wound up. After the spare wire pipe is moved, the pipe delivery structure 12 rises and moves back to the initial position. At this time, the pipe delivery structure 12 is connected to the outlet of the pipe storage structure 11, so that the spare wire pipe falls and moves into the pipe storage structure 11 in preparation for the next pipe changing.

[0032] The pipe storage structure 11 includes a placement rack 14 , in which a pipe storage cavity 15 is provided and a transport surface is formed. The spare wire pipes 100 are arranged on the transport surface, and the outlet of the transport surface can be connected to the inlet of the pipe delivery structure 12 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the transport surface is placed in an inclined state, and the horizontal height of the transport surface close to the pipe delivery structure 12 is lower than the horizontal height of the end away from the pipe delivery structure 12. Multiple spare wire pipes are arranged on the transport surface at one time. Under the inclined guiding action of the transport surface, they can automatically move toward the pipe delivery structure 12, so that the spare wire pipes move under the action of their own gravity. After a pipe is replaced, the spare wire pipe will automatically move to transfer the next spare wire pipe to the pipe delivery structure 12.

[0034] The transport surface is provided with at least one anti-jumping piece 16 at its exit. The anti-jumping piece 16 is arranged on the side of the transport surface, and an inclined surface 17 is arranged at one end of the anti-jumping piece 16 away from the transport surface exit.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the spare line tube is moved, it can move to the bottom of the anti-jump plate 16 and move into the pipe delivery structure 12 under the action of its own gravity, and due to the inclination of the transport surface and the downward pressure of the anti-jump plate 16, the spare line tube can be prevented from getting stuck and jumping out of the transport surface, so that the movement and replacement of the spare line tube can be carried out in an orderly manner.

[0036] The pipe delivery structure 12 includes a placement frame 18 , in which a placement cavity 19 is provided. The placement frame 18 is connected to the output shaft of a lifting driver 20 provided on the frame 10 , and an anti-escape structure 21 is provided in the placement cavity 19 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the spare wire tube dropped from the transport surface is moved into the placement cavity 19. Since the tube delivery structure 12 will be displaced during the transfer process and the stopping of the tube delivery structure 12 will cause a slight vibration of the spare wire tube, the spare wire tube is clamped in the placement cavity 19 by the anti-escape structure 21 to prevent the spare wire tube from falling out when the tube delivery structure 12 is in motion.

[0038] The anti-escape structure 21 includes a stop plate 22 arranged on the bottom inner wall of the placement cavity 19, and an upper pressing plate 23 is arranged in the placement cavity 19 above the stop plate 22. The upper pressing plate 23 is placed in an inclined state, and the distance between the upper pressing plate 23 and the bottom inner wall of the placement cavity 19 gradually decreases from one end close to the transport surface to the other end.

[0039] In this embodiment, after the spare wire tube falls from the transport surface into the placement cavity 19, it will move between the upper pressing plate 23 and the bottom inner wall of the placement cavity 19, thereby stabilizing the spare wire tube.

[0040] A torsion spring support shaft 24 is fixed in the placement cavity 19 , the upper pressing plate 23 is rotatably connected to the torsion spring support shaft 24 , and a torsion spring 25 is further provided between the upper pressing plate 23 and the torsion spring support shaft 24 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the elastic force generated by the torsion spring 25 is not large. When the spare wire tube falls from the transport surface into the placement cavity 19, the upper pressing plate 23 can be pushed open. As the spare wire tube continues to fall into the placement cavity 19, the upper pressing plate 23 presses the spare wire tube downward under the elastic force generated by the torsion spring 25, thereby stabilizing the spare wire tube.

[0042] The winding tube-changing structure 13 includes a flip shaft 26 , both ends of which are arranged on a support frame, the support frame is fixed on the frame 10 , the power source of the flip shaft 26 is arranged in a support block 27 , and a tube-mounting structure 28 is also provided on the flip shaft 26 .

[0043] In this embodiment, during the tube changing process of the winding tube changing structure 13, the tube delivery structure 12 moves downward with the spare wire tube and moves downward to a position close to the winding tube changing structure 13. The flip shaft 26 rotates under the operation of its power source and flips the entire winding tube changing structure 13, so that the part of the winding tube changing structure 13 used to install the wire tube is close to the tube delivery structure 12, and then the spare tube is installed through the tube installation structure 28.

[0044] The pipe mounting structure 28 includes a left arm 29 and a right arm 30 arranged on the flip axis 26. The end of the right arm 30 away from the flip axis 26 is provided with a right support block 35, and the end of the left arm 29 away from the flip axis 26 is provided with a linear drive 31. The output shaft of the linear drive 31 is connected to the left support block 27, and the left support block 27 can approach or move away from the right support block 35.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the current wire tube is in the tube loading structure 28 and the wire winding is completed, the flip shaft 26 flips the entire winding tube changing structure 13. At this time, the left support block 27 is disconnected from the wire tube through the operation of the linear drive 31, thereby removing the wire tube with the wire wound thereon. At this time, there is no wire tube in the tube loading structure 28. At this time, the tube feeding structure 12 moves downward with the spare wire tube, so that the spare wire tube is located between the left support block 27 and the right support block 35. Then the linear drive 31 works to move the left support block 27 close to the right support block 35, thereby pushing the spare wire tube and clamping the spare wire tube between the left support block 27 and the right support block 35. After the installation is completed, the flip shaft 26 rotates back to the winding station to wind the spare wire tube.

[0046] The right support block 35 is rotatably connected to the right arm 30. A rotating motor is provided inside the right arm 30. A transmission belt 32 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor. The other end of the transmission belt 32 is connected to the right support block 35. The cross-sections of the left support block 27 and the right support block 35 are truncated cone-shaped, and the side with a smaller diameter is located on the inner side. A plurality of racks 33 are provided on the outer surface of the right support block 35.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the tube loading structure 28 is completed and turned over to the wire winding station, the rotating motor in the right arm 30 starts working, and the right support block 35 is rotated through the transmission of the transmission belt 32, thereby driving the spare wire tube to rotate, and the wire is wound around the spare wire tube for winding. In addition, the rack 33 is used to increase the firmness between the right support block 35 and the spare wire tube to prevent the spare wire tube from slipping.

[0048] A slide groove 34 is further provided in the flip shaft 26, and the left arm 29 and the right arm 30 are slidably connected to the slide groove 34, and the left arm 29 and the right arm 30 are movably fixed in the slide groove 34 by means of bolts and nuts.

[0049] In this embodiment, the positions of the left arm 29 and the right arm 30 can be adjusted according to the length of the wire tube, the distance between the left arm 29 and the right arm 30 is adjusted by sliding the left arm 29 and the right arm 30 with the slide groove 34, and the left arm 29 and the right arm 30 are fixed by bolts and nuts.

[0050] Preferably, when the winding and tube changing structure 13 is located at the winding station, a thickness detection shaft 36 is provided under the left arm 29 and the right arm 30. When the wire tube is a winding wire, there is a gap between the wire tube and the thickness detection shaft 36. The wire tube will gradually become thicker when it is wound. When the coil and the thickness detection shaft 36 are against each other, it means that the winding is completed. At this time, the rotating motor in the right arm 30 stops working, and the steps of collecting and changing the tube are performed.

[0051] Preferably, a tube receiving structure 37 is provided below the tube delivery structure 12 . The tube receiving structure 37 includes a tube receiving frame 38 . Two baffles 39 are provided on the tube receiving frame 38 . A tube receiving space 40 is formed between the two baffles 39 .

[0052] In this embodiment, after the current wire tube is in the tube loading structure 28 and the winding is completed, the flip shaft 26 flips the entire winding tube changing structure 13. At this time, the left support block 27 is disconnected from the wire tube through the operation of the linear drive 31, so that the wound wire tube falls into the corresponding tube receiving space 40, and the baffle 39 can collect the wire tubes in the tube receiving space 40.

[0053] Preferably, a detachable shielding plate 41 is provided on the placing frame 18, and the shielding plate 41 can close the placing frame 18. When not in use or when the spare wire tube is not needed, the shielding plate 41 is installed on the placing frame 14.

[0054] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: a plurality of spare tubes are placed on the placement surface, and the spare tubes are dropped and moved to the placement frame 18 under the guidance of the placement surface and the gravity of the tubes themselves, and the spare tubes are stabilized by the upper pressing plate 23. After the previous tube is wound, the flip shaft 26 flips the entire winding tube-changing structure 13, and at this time, the left support block 27 is disconnected from the tube by the linear drive 31, so that the wound tubes fall into the corresponding tube collection space 40, and the baffle 39 can collect the tubes in the tube collection space 40. At this time, the tube delivery structure 12 moves downward with the belt The spare wire tube moves downward so that it is located between the left support block 27 and the right support block 35, and then the linear drive 31 works to move the left support block 27 close to the right support block 35, thereby pushing the spare wire tube and clamping the spare wire tube between the left support block 27 and the right support block 35. After the installation is completed, the flip shaft 26 rotates back to the winding station to wind the spare wire tube, and then the rotating motor in the right arm 30 works, and the right support block 35 is rotated through the transmission toothed belt 32, thereby driving the spare wire tube to rotate, and the winding work is carried out after the wire is wound around the spare wire tube.
