Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional weaving, and in particular relates to a slideway main body and a slideway assembly of a three-dimensional weaving machine. Background Art

[0002] The existing three-dimensional braiding machine is mainly composed of slides, support devices, spindles and other components. With the maturity of three-dimensional braiding machine technology, the size of the parts of the three-dimensional braiding machine is getting larger and larger, and the increase is also accompanied by an increase in equipment processing and equipment cost. The maintenance work is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, which reduces production efficiency.

[0003] In addition, the slide of the existing three-dimensional braiding machine is an integral whole, and when damaged, the damaged part cannot be replaced, which increases the maintenance cost of the user. In addition, the length cannot be adjusted, and the user needs to prepare slides with different lengths according to the use requirements of different equipment, which increases the production cost.

[0004] In order to solve this problem, the Chinese invention patent with application number CN202111092376.6 discloses a slide main body, a slide assembly and a three-dimensional braiding machine of a three-dimensional braiding machine, wherein the slide main body has a certain extension length, and is provided with a plurality of spindle running tracks distributed along the extension direction of the length of the slide main body; connecting parts are respectively provided at both ends of the slide main body; since the slide main body is extensible, a corresponding number of slide main bodies can be selected by splicing and assembly to assemble the required slides, so as to reduce the overall processing cost of the three-dimensional braiding machine equipment, and it can be suitable for three-dimensional braiding machines of different sizes; however, in the above scheme, the connecting parts of the slide main body are located on the sides of the two ends of the slide main body. When repairing and replacing the damaged parts, the slide of the three-dimensional braiding machine needs to be taken out as a whole. The disassembly steps are complicated and time-consuming, which directly affects normal production and increases the difficulty of maintenance.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional braiding machine slide main body and slide assembly to address the problems in the above-mentioned prior art. The two ends of the slide main body have connecting grooves. When the ends of multiple slide main bodies are connected in sequence, the two opposite connecting grooves are spliced ​​to form a connecting port, and then the connecting piece is inserted into the connecting port to connect the multiple slide main bodies in sequence to form a slide assembly, thereby realizing the modular setting of the slide assembly and making it easier to disassemble.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a chute body of a three-dimensional braiding machine, the chute body having a certain extension length, and provided with a plurality of spindle running tracks spaced apart along the extension direction of the chute body length;

[0008] Both ends of the slide groove body are provided with connection grooves which are recessed into the slide groove body along the extension direction of the slide groove body, and the connection grooves extend to at least one side of the slide groove body to form a connection port on the side of the slide groove body.

[0009] In the above scheme, the connecting groove at least extends to one side of the slide groove body to form a connecting port on the side of the slide groove body. The user can choose to fix the connecting ports formed in different directions according to the actual usage. For example, in the slide groove, the slide groove body located at the edge can be fixed from the connecting port on the side to facilitate installation and disassembly from the side; and the slide groove body located in the middle can be fixed from the connecting port on the top surface, so that the slide groove body located in the middle can be directly disassembled from the vertical direction without affecting the adjacent structure, thereby improving the user experience.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove remains unchanged along the extending direction of the connecting groove, and the cross-sectional area gradually increases along the concave direction of the connecting groove.

[0011] In the above scheme, since the connecting groove is used to connect two adjacent slide groove bodies, in order to avoid falling off due to loose connection, the cross-section of the connecting groove is set to a form in which the cross-sectional area gradually increases along the concave direction, thereby improving the stability during connection.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove in the extending direction of the connecting groove is a convex shape.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting groove extends to two opposite sides of the slide groove body to penetrate the slide groove body.

[0014] In the above scheme, the connecting groove set through further simplifies the disassembly steps of the slide main body. Originally, the maintenance personnel needed to first take out the fixings fixed by the connecting groove, then take out the slide main body for replacement, and then install the fixings back into the connecting groove to complete the replacement; after the connecting groove is set to run through the slide main body, the maintenance personnel do not need to remove the fixings, but can directly pull out the slide main body that needs to be replaced; since the fixings have not been removed, the replaced slide main body can be positioned by the fixings, which significantly simplifies the installation process and improves the accuracy of installation.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of the spindle running tracks form openings on the same side of the chute body;

[0016] The connecting groove extends to one side of the slide groove body where an opening is formed.

[0017] In the above scheme, since the side with the spindle running track opening is usually located at the top of the slide slot, the connecting slot is arranged to be formed by penetrating from the top of the slide slot body, which is convenient for disassembly of the slide slot body.

[0018] A second aspect of the present invention provides a three-dimensional braiding machine slide assembly, comprising the slide main body of the above-mentioned solution, wherein at least two slide main bodies are arranged along the length extension direction;

[0019] The slide slot assembly also includes a connecting piece, which is respectively connected to two connecting slots located opposite to each other on two adjacent slide slot bodies.

[0020] Furthermore, the connecting grooves on two adjacent chute bodies that are located opposite to each other are aligned to form a socket for the connecting member to be inserted into;

[0021] The shape of the connecting piece is adapted to that of the socket.

[0022] In the above scheme, the connecting piece is connected to the connecting grooves on two adjacent slide groove bodies to connect the two slide groove bodies to form a slide groove assembly. Since the connecting piece is plug-fitted with the socket, it is convenient for maintenance personnel to disassemble it.

[0023] Furthermore, the connecting grooves on two adjacent slide slot bodies that are located opposite to each other are aligned to form a socket that penetrates the slide slot assembly.

[0024] In the above scheme, the socket passes through the slide assembly, so that the connecting part can be installed and disassembled from both ends of the slide assembly. Therefore, when the user disassembles the slide body or the connecting part, there is no fixed disassembly order and disassembly direction, and only the part that needs to be replaced can be replaced, which simplifies the maintenance and replacement steps and improves the user experience.

[0025] Furthermore, one end of the connecting member is contracted to form a guide portion;

[0026] When the connecting piece is installed in place, one end of the guide portion faces the side of the opening on the slide slot body.

[0027] The purpose of the connecting piece is to stably connect two adjacent slide groove bodies into one. To this end, the shape and size of the connecting piece must match the socket formed by the connecting grooves of the two adjacent connecting pieces, which will lead to the problem that the connecting piece is not easy to install in place or is not easy to disassemble. In the above scheme, the end of the connecting piece forms a guide part. When installing and disassembling the connecting piece, the guide part can be first extended into the socket to facilitate positioning of the insertion position of the connecting piece, thereby solving the problem that the adjacent slide groove bodies are difficult to connect due to the inability to align.

[0028] When the connecting piece is installed in place, one end of the guide portion is facing the side of the opening on the slide slot body, that is, when the user replaces the damaged slide slot body in the slide slot assembly, the damaged slide slot body can be directly pulled out without disassembling other slide slot bodies or slide slot assemblies; because the guide portion is facing the side of the opening on the slide slot body, when the replacement slide slot body is replaced, it can be installed in place more easily under the guidance of the guide portion, which simplifies the replacement operation of the slide slot body and can more smoothly realize the disassembly / replacement of a single slide slot body.

[0029] Furthermore, the plurality of sockets on the slide assembly are located on the same straight line;

[0030] Preferably, the connecting groove on the slide groove body is located at the center of the end of the slide groove body.

[0031] In the above scheme, the sockets formed on the slide assembly are located on the same straight line, which is beneficial to improving the overall strength of the slide assembly, and the position where the connecting piece is inserted is not easily damaged by slight bending; the connecting groove is set at the center of the end of the slide body, so that when the slide assembly is slightly bent to both sides, the strength of both sides of the connecting groove remains consistent, avoiding damage caused by higher strength on one side and lower strength on the other side.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0033] 1. The connecting groove is formed by being recessed inward from the end of the extension direction of the slide groove body, and a connecting port is formed on at least one side of the slide groove body, so that the connecting piece can be directly inserted into the connecting port after the slide groove body is placed in place to realize the positioning of the adjacent slide groove body. The user can independently disassemble the slide groove body that needs to be replaced on the slide groove assembly without taking out the slide groove as a whole, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] 2. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove remains unchanged along the extension direction of the connecting groove, and the cross-sectional area gradually increases along the concave direction of the connecting groove, so that the connecting piece inserted from the connecting port will not be detached from the connecting groove due to the force in the extension direction of the connecting groove, thereby realizing a stable connection between adjacent slide groove bodies in their length direction, thereby improving the stability of the slide groove.

[0035] 3. One end of the connector is contracted to form a guide portion. The existence of the guide portion improves the convenience of installing the connector or the slide groove body in place. The shape and size of the connector match the socket formed by the relatively positioned connecting grooves on the two adjacent slide groove bodies, which can achieve a stable connection between the adjacent slide groove bodies.

[0046] The present invention provides a three-dimensional braiding machine slideway body and a slideway assembly, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the chute body 1 has a certain extension length, and is provided with a plurality of spindle running tracks 11 spaced apart along the extension direction of the length of the chute body 1;

[0047] Both ends of the chute body 1 have connection grooves 13 that are recessed into the chute body 1 along the extension direction of the chute body 1 . The connection grooves 13 at least extend to one side of the chute body 1 to form a connection port 131 on the side of the chute body 1 .

[0048] The slide chute assembly comprises at least two slide chute bodies 1 arranged along the length extension direction of the slide chute body 1 , and the plurality of slide chute bodies 1 are connected via a connecting piece 2 .

[0049] In the above scheme, the connecting groove 13 extends to at least one side of the slide groove body 1 to form a connecting port 131 on the side of the slide groove body 1. The customer can directly extend the connecting piece 2 for fixing the slide groove body 1 into the connecting groove 13 from the side of the slide groove body 1 to realize the connection between adjacent slide groove bodies 1. The user can choose to install the connecting piece 2 from different directions according to actual usage, so that during disassembly, only the slide groove body 1 that needs to be replaced can be replaced without affecting the position of other slide groove bodies 1 and slide groove components, which simplifies the replacement process and improves the user experience.

[0050] The following is a further detailed description with reference to specific embodiments.

[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] As an embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment provides a three-dimensional braiding machine slide assembly, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 13 on the slide body 1 remains unchanged along the extension direction of the connecting groove 13, and the cross-sectional area gradually increases along the recessed direction of the connecting groove 13.

[0053] In this embodiment, the number and position of the connection ports 131 can be designed according to actual use requirements. Usually, the side of the chute body 1 has four faces, and the cross-section is rectangular as a whole. Here, the chute body 1 is taken as an example of a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the chute body 1 is provided with a plurality of spindle running rails 11 at intervals along its length direction, and connecting grooves 13 are provided at both ends of the chute body 1. The connecting grooves 13 are located at the ends of the chute body 1, and are recessed into the chute body 1 from the ends of the chute body 1 along the length extension direction of the chute body 1, and extend to the sides of the chute body 1 in directions perpendicular to the sides of the chute body 1, respectively, and connecting ports 131 are formed on the four sides of the chute body 1 respectively; at this time, the connecting grooves 13 are "cross-shaped" as a whole. In actual use, the user can connect adjacent chute bodies 1 by extending the connecting piece 2 from one of the connecting ports 131 or multiple connecting ports 131 are extended into the connecting piece 2, and can choose a more convenient installation direction of the connecting piece 2 according to actual use requirements, thereby improving installation flexibility and disassembly convenience.

[0055] The cross-sectional dimension of the connecting groove 13 in its recessed direction gradually increases, that is, the connecting piece 2 extending into the connecting groove 13 cannot be separated from the connecting groove 13 along the length extension direction of the slide groove body 1, thereby realizing a stable connection between adjacent slide groove bodies 1; the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting groove 13 in its extension direction gradually increases or remains unchanged, thereby ensuring that the connecting piece 2 can still match the connecting groove 13 after insertion, thereby ensuring a stable connection.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to maximize the connection stability of the connecting piece 2, the cross-sectional dimensions of the connecting groove 13 in its extension direction remain unchanged; at this time, if the connecting groove 13 extends from the opposite sides of the slide groove body 1 to penetrate the slide groove body 1, the connecting piece 2 can be installed from two directions, which improves the installation freedom and facilitates users to choose the installation method according to different usage conditions.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 13 in its extending direction is a convex shape, that is, the cross-sectional dimension of the middle position of the connecting groove 13 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension near the side position of the slide groove body 1; the shape and size of the connecting member 2 are adapted to the connecting groove 13, so that after the connecting member 2 is inserted into the connecting groove 13, it will not shake due to the incompatibility of shape and size, thereby improving the connection stability; it should be noted that the shape and size of the connecting member 2 here are adapted to the connecting groove 13, which means that the shape and size of the part of the connecting member 2 extending into the connecting groove 13 are adapted to the connecting groove 13. Since the connecting member 2 is used to connect two adjacent slide groove bodies 1, that is, when the connecting member 2 is installed in place, part of the structure extends into the connecting groove 13 at the end of one of the slide groove bodies 1, and the other part extends into the connecting groove 13 at the end of the other slide groove body 1. The shapes and sizes of the parts extending into the two connecting grooves 13 at opposite positions respectively match the two connecting grooves 13.

[0058] Since the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 13 is set to be a convex shape, and the connecting piece 2 matched with the connecting groove 13 structure is correspondingly set to be an I-shape, the conventional improvements made by technical personnel in this field to the shape and size of the connecting groove 13 and the connecting piece 2 based on the known technical principles of the present invention also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] As another embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the structure of the connecting groove 13 is different.

[0061] In this embodiment, the spindle running track 11 on the slide chute main body 1 forms an opening 12 on the same side of the slide chute main body 1, and the connecting groove 13 extends to the side of the slide chute main body 1 where the opening 12 is formed; since one side of the opening 12 of the spindle running track 11 is usually the top of the slide assembly when in use, the connecting groove 13 is extended to the side of the opening 12 formed on the slide chute main body 1. In actual use, the user can directly remove the connecting part 2 and then disassemble the slide chute main body 1 that needs to be replaced, without affecting the slide chute main body 1 in other positions, and there is no need to take out the entire slide assembly. The replacement is more convenient, the maintenance cycle is shortened, and the impact on actual production efficiency is reduced.

[0062] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting groove 13 extends in two opposite directions to penetrate the slide groove body 1, and a connecting port 131 is formed on one side of the slide groove body 1 with an opening 12 and the other side opposite thereto. At this time, the user can adjust the assembly method of the slide groove assembly according to actual usage requirements.

[0063] Specifically, when the user assembles the slide assembly, the connecting piece 2 can be inserted from the connecting openings 131 on both sides of the slide main body 1 to achieve a stable connection between adjacent slide main bodies 1; during the use of the slide assembly, if a section of the slide main body 1 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the connecting groove 13 provided through it can further improve the convenience of replacing the slide main body 1; when the connecting groove 13 only extends to one side of the slide main body 1 with the opening 12, the user needs to first take out the connecting pieces 2 located at both ends of the slide main body 1, and then take out the slide main body 1 to be replaced, and after putting the replaced slide main body 1 back, the adjacent slide main bodies 1 need to be aligned first, and then the connecting piece 2 is reinserted into the socket formed by the adjacent connecting groove 13 to complete the replacement. Although the separate replacement of the slide main body 1 is achieved, the operation is still relatively cumbersome; when the connecting groove 13 passes through the slide main body 1, the user needs to disassemble the damaged slide main body 1, and only needs to pull out the damaged slide main body 1 in the vertical direction, and then align the replaced slide main body 1 with the connecting piece 2 and insert it back to the corresponding position, which greatly reduces the operation of replacing the slide main body 1.

[0064] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the user to assemble the slide slot assembly and replace the slide slot body 1, a guide portion 21 is contracted at one end of the connecting piece 2. When the connecting piece 2 is installed in place, one end of the guide portion 21 faces the side of the opening 12 formed on the slide slot body 1; since the connecting piece 2 is adapted to the shape and size of the connecting slot 13, there is a problem of difficulty in alignment when the user assembles the slide slot assembly, which leads to a decrease in the installation experience. Due to the existence of the guide portion 21, the guide portion 21 is contracted as a whole and can be inserted into the connecting slot 13 first to achieve positioning, thereby improving the convenience of installation; when the user replaces the slide slot body 1 separately, the guide portion 21 faces the side of the opening 12 formed on the slide slot body 1, and the slide slot body 1 can also be more easily installed in place under the guidance of the guide portion 21.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical content suggested above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. The implementation scheme in the above embodiment can also be further combined or replaced. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
