Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spool sorting, and in particular to an automatic spool sorting device and method. Background Art

[0002] The production process of steel cord includes pretreatment → large drawing → electroplating → wet drawing → stranding → packaging. After the finished steel cord wheel is produced in the stranding process, the wet-drawn single-filament empty I-shaped wheels need to be recycled and sorted. There are currently 4-7 types of I-shaped wheels for wet-drawn single-filament winding, which need to be sorted separately for reuse during recycling and sorting. At present, most of the sorting processes are manual sorting, which is laborious and time-consuming, and the production cost increases. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic sorting device to solve the existing problems.

[0003] In the prior art, a patent document with a publication number of CN221537334U is proposed to solve the above technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in the patent document is as follows: The utility model relates to an automatic sorting and moving production line for I-shaped wheels, including a rewinding conveyor belt and a sorting mechanism, wherein the sorting mechanism is located at the right end of the rewinding conveyor belt; the sorting mechanism includes a sorting conveyor belt and a grabbing assembly, wherein the grabbing assembly includes a bracket and a grabber, wherein a moving unit is arranged on the bracket, wherein the moving unit is connected to the grabber; wherein the moving unit includes a left-right moving part, a front-back moving part and a lifting part, wherein the front-back moving part is arranged on the movable part of the left-right moving part, wherein the lifting part is arranged on the movable part of the front-back moving part, wherein the grabber is connected to the movable part of the lifting part. The utility model realizes the automatic sorting of I-shaped wheels, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves work efficiency.

[0004] It can be seen from the technical solutions proposed in the above-mentioned invention patent documents that the above-mentioned solutions still have obvious shortcomings. For example, the I-shaped wheel may fall over during transportation on the conveyor belt due to various factors such as unstable placement or collision, and the grabbing assembly in the above-mentioned solution needs to extend the grabber into the I-shaped wheel and lock the I-shaped wheel before the subsequent handling process can be carried out.

The present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0032] Example

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present invention provides an automatic sorting device for I-shaped wheels, comprising a mounting frame 1, a conveyor belt 11 is installed on the inner side of the top of the mounting frame 1, a plurality of I-shaped wheels 2 are placed on the conveyor belt 11, a driving motor 12 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting frame 1, and the mounting frame 1 is sequentially provided with a detection component 3 for detecting the driving state of the I-shaped wheel 2 on the conveyor belt 11, an adjustment component 4 for adjusting the position of the I-shaped wheel 2 on the conveyor belt 11, an upright mechanism 5 for lifting up the I-shaped wheel 2 in a sleeping posture, a conveying component 6 for sending out the upright I-shaped wheel 2, and a receiving component 7 for assisting the I-shaped wheel 2 to fall, a tray 8 for collecting the I-shaped wheels 2 is provided at the bottom of the receiving component 7, a plurality of columns 81 are fixedly installed on the tray 8, and a two-way moving component for adjusting the horizontal position of the tray 8 is provided at the bottom of the tray 8.

[0034] As a further illustration of an embodiment of the present invention, in an existing automatic sorting device, the I-wheel may fall over during transportation on the conveyor belt due to various factors such as unstable placement or collision, and the grabbing assembly in the prior art solution requires the grabber to extend into the I-wheel and lock the I-wheel before the subsequent handling process can be carried out. The fallen I-wheel is also prone to rolling on the conveyor belt, making it impossible for the grabber to locate the specific position of the I-wheel, and even after determining the position of the I-wheel, it is inconvenient for the grabber to extend into the I-wheel to lock it, so that the automatic sorting process cannot proceed normally. In this embodiment, the I-shaped wheel 2 is transported by the conveyor belt 11, and a detection component 3 is set upstream of the conveyor belt 11 to detect the posture of the I-shaped wheel 2. The I-shaped wheel 2 on the conveyor belt 11 is divided into two states: upright or lying down. The upright or lying down I-shaped wheel 2 is adjusted to the middle position of the conveyor belt 11 by the adjustment component 4. If the I-shaped wheel 2 is in the lying down state, the axial direction of the lying down I-shaped wheel 2 needs to be rotated and adjusted so that the axis of the I-shaped wheel 2 in the lying down state is aligned with the conveyor belt 1. 1 is consistent with the conveying direction of the I-shaped wheel 2. When the I-shaped wheel 2 passes through the upright mechanism 5 after the position is adjusted, the upright mechanism 5 will not perform any operation on the I-shaped wheel 2 in the upright state. The upright mechanism 5 will lift up the I-shaped wheel 2 in the sleeping state, so that all the I-shaped wheels 2 on the conveyor belt 11 are in an upright state and enter the conveying component 6. Through the transportation of the conveying component 6 and the receiving component 7, the I-shaped wheels 2 fall onto the tray 8 in turn and are locked by the column 81, thereby completing the automatic sorting process of the I-shaped wheels 2. In addition, the model of the I-shaped wheel 2 is scanned by the detection component 3, and the two-way moving component is used to adjust the tray 8 along the length and width directions, and the tray 8 is adjusted to a predetermined point in advance (the two-way moving component in this embodiment is a prior art, so it is not described in detail and is not shown in the figure), so that the column 81 corresponding to the model of the I-shaped wheel 2 is aligned with the bottom of the receiving component 7, so that the I-shaped wheel 2 is locked and collected by the corresponding column 81 after it is separated from the receiving component 7, thereby realizing the automatic sorting operation process of I-shaped wheels 2 of different models. The present invention sets up an upright mechanism 5 to lift up the I-shaped wheel 2 in a sleeping state on the conveyor belt 11, so as to avoid the I-shaped wheel 2 in a sleeping state from affecting the automatic sorting, so that the device can be applied to the automatic sorting of I-shaped wheels 2 in more scenarios, and the device can classify and collect I-shaped wheels 2 of different sizes without manual sorting, effectively improving the sorting efficiency of the I-shaped wheel 2 and saving manpower.

[0035] As a further scheme of an embodiment of the I-shaped wheel automatic sorting device, the upright mechanism 5 includes vertical plates 51 respectively fixedly mounted on the side walls of the mounting frame 1 on both sides, the side walls of the two vertical plates 51 are slidably mounted with a first cylinder 52, the output end of the first cylinder 52 passes through the vertical plates 51 and is fixedly connected to a first rotating grabbing assembly 9, the vertical plates 51 are provided with a right-angle waist hole 511 for the output end of the first cylinder 52 to slide, the side walls of the two vertical plates 51 are slidably connected to the same mold plate 53, and the two first cylinders 52 are fixedly connected to the mold plate 53, a hydraulic cylinder 54 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 1, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 54 is slidably connected to the mold plate 53, a telescopic rod 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 1, and the output end of the telescopic rod 55 is fixedly connected to the mold plate 53.

[0036] As a further solution of an embodiment of the I-shaped wheel automatic sorting device, the first rotating grasping assembly 9 includes a transmission box 91 fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 52, and the main bevel gear 92 and the secondary bevel gear 93 are respectively installed in the transmission box 91, and the main bevel gear 92 is meshed with the secondary bevel gear 93. A transmission motor 94 for driving the main bevel gear 92 to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the transmission box 91, and a clamping claw 95 is rotatably installed on the other side of the transmission box 91, and the clamping claw 95 is fixedly connected to the secondary bevel gear 93.

[0037] As a further explanation of the embodiment of the present invention, the working principle of the upright mechanism 5 in this embodiment is as follows: when the conveyor belt 11 transports the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 to the effective working range of the upright mechanism 5, the first cylinder 52 drives the clamping jaws 95 to approach the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 until the clamping jaws 95 at both ends press the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 against the limit position. When the clamping jaws 95 approach the I-shaped rotary wheel 2, the transportation of the conveyor belt 11 does not stop. Therefore, when the two clamping jaws 95 clamp the I-shaped rotary wheel 2, the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 slides forward, so that the clamping jaws 95 clamp the end of the I-shaped rotary wheel 2, and the first cylinder 52 and the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 fixed by the clamping jaws 95 are lifted up through the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 54, so that the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 is temporarily separated from the conveyor belt 11, and then the transmission motor 94 and the main bevel gear 92 are driven to make the clamping jaws 95 and the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 fixed by the clamping jaws 95 rotate 90 degrees. The reason for separating from the conveyor belt 11 in this process is to avoid the I-shaped rotary wheel 2 from rotating when The first cylinder 52 is retracted to retract the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 54, and the I-shaped wheel 2 is put back on the conveyor belt 11. At the same time, the clamping claw 95 is disengaged from the I-shaped wheel 2 through the retraction of the output end of the first cylinder 52, thereby releasing the I-shaped wheel 2. In the process of releasing the I-shaped wheel 2, the bottom of the I-shaped wheel 2 is affected by the friction force of the conveyor belt 11 conveying forward, which may cause the I-shaped wheel 2 to lose balance and fall backward. In order to prevent the I-shaped wheel 2 from falling down again at the moment of contacting the conveyor belt 11, the telescopic rod 55 drives the plate 53 to move in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11, so that the I-shaped wheel 2 is placed on the conveyor belt 11 for a period of time. Supported by the clamping claw 95, it is ensured that the I-shaped wheel 2 will not fall down. Before the extension stroke of the output end of the telescopic rod 55 ends, the clamping claw 95 is released to release the I-shaped wheel 2, thereby completing the adjustment of the I-shaped wheel 2 from a lying state to an upright state.

[0038] As a further solution of an embodiment of the I-spool automatic sorting device, the adjusting component 4 includes a frame 41 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting frame 1, a second cylinder 42 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 41, an output end of the second cylinder 42 passes through the frame 41 and is fixedly connected to a second rotating grabbing component with the same structure as the first rotating grabbing component 9, third cylinders 43 are fixedly mounted on the side walls on both sides of the frame 41, and an output end of the third cylinder 43 passes through the frame 41 and is fixedly connected to a cross plate 44.

[0039] As a further explanation of the embodiment of the present invention, the working principle of the adjustment component 4 in this embodiment is: the I-shaped wheel 2 on the conveyor belt 11 is detected by the detection component 3, and the I-shaped wheel 2 is first divided into two major categories: a vertical state and a lying state. Then, the I-shaped wheel 2 in the lying state is secondary classified according to whether the axis of the I-shaped wheel 2 is the same as or different from the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11. If the axis of the lying I-shaped wheel 2 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11, the processing method of this type of I-shaped wheel 2 is the same as The upright I-shaped wheel 2 is processed in the same way, that is, the output end of the third cylinder 43 extends out and drives the cross plate 44, pushes the I-shaped wheel 2 to the middle area of ​​the conveyor belt 11, and then retracts the output end of the third cylinder 43. If the lying I-shaped wheel 2 is inconsistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11, it is necessary to push the I-shaped wheel 2 to the middle area of ​​the conveyor belt 11 through the third cylinder 43 and the cross plate 44, and then judge the axial direction of the I-shaped wheel in the lying state. Since the outer circumference of the I-shaped wheel 2 in the lying state is circular, When the plate 44 pushes the I-shaped wheel 2, the I-shaped wheel 2 rotates along the pushing direction of the horizontal plate 44. The axial direction of the I-shaped wheel 2 pushed by the horizontal plate 44 is either consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 or perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11. If the axial direction of the I-shaped wheel 2 after being pushed by the horizontal plate 44 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11, no subsequent operation is required, and the third cylinder 43 can be directly retracted. If the axial direction of the I-shaped wheel 2 is still different from the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 after being pushed by the horizontal plate 44, , the second cylinder 42 is started to drive the second rotating grab assembly to move downward until the clamping claw 95 contacts the I-shaped bracket, and the transmission motor 94 is used to drive the clamping claw 95 to rotate, so that the axial direction of the I-shaped wheel 2 after rotation is consistent with the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 11, and in the process of the clamping claw 95 driving the I-shaped wheel 2 to rotate, the third cylinder 43 retracts to avoid it. After the rotation adjustment is completed, the output end of the retracted second cylinder 42 can release the I-shaped wheel 2, thereby completing the adjustment operation of the I-shaped wheel 2 in all postures on the conveyor belt 11.

[0040] As a further solution of an embodiment of the I-shaped wheel automatic sorting device, the conveying component 6 includes a horn bracket 61 fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting frame 1, the horn bracket 61 is composed of two protective brackets, and the side walls of the two protective brackets are rotatably installed with multiple transmission rollers 62, and the side walls of the two protective brackets are provided with avoidance grooves 611 for installing the transmission rollers 62, and the external transmission of the multiple transmission rollers 62 in one of the protective brackets is connected to the same synchronous belt 63, and the side walls of the synchronous belt 63 are fixedly installed with multiple push plates 64, and one of the protective brackets is fixedly installed with a power motor 65 for driving the transmission rollers 62 to rotate.

[0041] As a further explanation of the embodiment of the present invention, the conveying assembly 6 in this embodiment converges the upright I-shaped wheel 2 to the narrow mouth of the horn through the horn bracket 61, and the two protective brackets are distributed on the mounting frame 1 in a mirror image with the bisector of the conveyor belt 11, and the I-shaped wheel 2 is pushed forward by the pushing plate 64 on the synchronous belt 63 until the I-shaped wheel 2 falls and is connected to the column 81, thereby completing the sorting operation of the I-shaped wheel 2.

[0042] As a further solution of an embodiment of the I-shaped wheel automatic sorting device, the receiving component 7 includes a support plate 71 fixedly mounted on the end of the mounting frame 1, and the support plate 71 is arranged flush with the conveyor belt 11, a right-angle plate 72 is fixedly mounted on the end of the support plate 71, a fourth cylinder 73 is fixedly mounted on the top of the right-angle plate 72, an output end of the fourth cylinder 73 passes through the right-angle plate 72 and is fixedly connected with a balance plate 74, when the balance plate 74 descends in the vertical direction along the output end of the fourth cylinder 73 to a preset height, it fits with the top of the I-shaped wheel 2, a drop opening 711 is opened on the support plate 71, and the bottom of the drop opening 711 corresponds to the column 81.

[0043] As a further explanation of the embodiment of the present invention, the receiving component 7 in the present embodiment restricts the I-shaped wheel 2 in the upright state through the balance plate 74. Specifically, according to the I-shaped wheel 2 of different models detected by the detection component 3, the height of the balancing plate 74 is adjusted to make the top of the I-shaped wheel 2 and the bottom of the balance plate 74 in a state of being about to fit together, thereby limiting the tilting state of the I-shaped wheel 2 when falling along the drop opening 711, avoiding the I-shaped wheel 2 from tilting and getting stuck before it reaches the coaxial state with the column 81, and ensuring that the I-shaped wheel 2 can still be pushed forward by the balance plate 74 to slide to a preset point under the premise of losing the support of the bottom part.

[0045] As a further explanation of an embodiment of the present invention, the detection component 3 in this embodiment mainly uses the probe 33 to photograph the I-shaped pulley 2 on the conveyor belt 11, and uploads the photographed data for analysis, and issues corresponding preparatory instructions to subsequent components based on the analysis results, so as to facilitate the continuity of the entire device operation process.

[0046] As a further solution of an embodiment of the I-shaped wheel automatic sorting device, a slot is provided at the bottom of the tray 8 for the end of a forklift to enter, and a chamfer is provided at the top of the column 81 .

[0047] As a further explanation of the embodiment of the present invention, in this embodiment, when the columns 81 on the pallet 8 are full of the I-shaped wheels 2, the pallet 8 is removed by a forklift and replaced with a new pallet 8 to continue the sorting operation.
