[0058] Example

[0059] The present application embodiment provides a C-shaped ferrule integrated machine, see Figure 1With the X direction as the horizontal direction and the Y direction as the longitudinal direction, the ferrule integrated machine includes a ferrule production device 1 and an end plate feeding device 2 arranged in parallel, and a ferrule end plate finished product assembly device 3 arranged perpendicular to the ferrule forming device and the end plate feeding device. The ferrule end plate finished product assembly device 3 connects the end of the ferrule production device and the end of the end plate feeding device. The ferrule production device, the end plate feeding device and the ferrule end plate finished product assembly device 3 define a C-type operating station. The C-type operating station provides a standing space for the operator, which is convenient for observation of the entire device, material feeding management, product inspection, fault handling, etc.

[0060] Among them, the hoop production device 1 forms a hoop after uncoiling, straightening, shearing, round welding and pressing the raw material strip steel coil, the end plate feeding device 2 transports the raw material end plate, and the hoop end plate finished product assembly device 3 assembles the hoop and the end plate to form a hoop end plate finished product.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 2 The ferrule production device 1 includes an uncoiling module 100, a straightening module 200, a shearing module 300, a curling welding module 400 and a pressing module 500 which are arranged in the order of production processes.

[0062] See also Figure 3 The uncoiling module 100, commonly known as an uncoiler, is a commonly used equipment in industrial production, which is used to unwind the curled raw materials to facilitate entry into the production line; specifically, in the embodiment provided in the present application, the raw steel strip is coiled on the uncoiling drum 101, and the steel strip is unwound by the rotation of the uncoiling drum 101 to cooperate with subsequent production; the uncoiling drum 101 can conventionally be driven by a motor.

[0063] See also Figure 4 , the straightening module 200 straightens the uncoiled strip steel, which is often still in a curved state after uncoiling and needs to pass through the straightening module 200 to form a straight strip steel; specifically, in the embodiment provided in the present application, a group of guide roller groups 201 are provided at the inlet end of the straightening module 200, and a gap for the strip steel to enter is provided between the guide roller groups 201, and the straightening module 200 also includes multiple groups of straightening roller groups 202 arranged up and down, and the uncoiled strip steel enters the straightening module 200 from the guide roller group 201 at the inlet end, and then passes through multiple groups of straightening roller groups 202 to form a straight strip steel after being squeezed and straightened. It can be understood that the guide roller group 201 can be a roller group with power drive or a passive roller group, but the straightening roller group 202 usually needs power drive. In the embodiment of the present application, the straightening roller located at the top of the straightening roller group 202 is selected as the active roller, which is connected to the drive motor 203 through a transmission structure such as a gear group and a sprocket, and the drive motor provides driving power for the straightening roller group 202.

[0064] The shearing module 300 is a commonly used shearing equipment in industrial production. Its main function is to shear continuous raw materials into fixed-length raw material segments. In the embodiment provided in the present application, the shearing module 300 is used to shear straight strip steel into fixed-length strip steel. The strip steel is cut by the cooperation of the upper and lower shearing knives. The shearing module 300 is provided with a displacement meter, a rangefinder or a laser positioning structure to identify the length of the free end of the strip steel from the shearing knife. When the preset length is reached, the production line stops conveying the strip steel, and the upper and lower shearing knives cooperate to cut the strip steel to obtain the fixed-length strip steel.

[0065] See also Figure 5 , a centering conveying module 600 is also provided between the shearing module 300 and the coiling welding module 400. Since the coiling welding module 400 has a high requirement for the centering position accuracy of the cut-length strip steel, the cut-length strip steel obtained by the shearing module 300 needs to be adjusted by the centering conveying module 600 to ensure accurate alignment when entering the coiling welding module 400. In the embodiment provided in the present application, the centering conveying module 600 includes a conveying roller group 601 arranged at the inlet end and the outlet end, the conveying roller group 601 includes conveying rollers arranged up and down, and a gap is arranged in the middle for the cut-length strip steel to pass through. The conveying roller group 601 is a power roller. By selecting the conveying roller located at the top as the active roller, the drive motor is connected through a transmission structure such as a gear group and a sprocket, and the drive motor provides driving power for the conveying roller group 601. A trumpet-shaped centering limit guide groove 602 is provided between the inlet end and the outlet end, and the cut-length strip steel enters through the flared trumpet and passes through the narrow guide groove in the middle to achieve centering.

[0066] See also Figure 6The rolling welding module 400 is used to align the two ends of the cut-length steel strip, weld it, and roll it into an annular steel strip structure. The annular steel strip can be formed into a finished hoop after subsequent profiling. In the embodiment provided in the present application, the rolling welding module 400 includes a central support assembly 420 located above the middle plate 410, an external limit assembly 430, a center welding gun 440, and a rolling assembly 450 located below the middle plate 410. The rolling assembly 450 includes an entrance end of the docking and centering conveying module 600, a guide roller group 451, a guide groove 452, and a rolling roller group 453. The cut-length steel strip enters the rolling welding module 400 from the entrance end, passes through the guide roller group 451, and then enters the guide groove 452. The guide roller group 451 provides conveying power for the cut-length steel strip. The groove 452 is inclined upward, and the winding roller group 453 includes a pair of power roller groups (first roller and second roller) arranged up and down and a third roller located on the side of the power roller group away from the guide groove. The height of the third roller is between the first roller and the second roller. The power roller group is used to clamp the cut-length strip steel and provide a strong conveying force. After the cut-length strip steel passes through the power roller group, it hits the third roller and bends in the opposite direction. The hole grooves opened on the middle plate 410 and the guide structure next to the hole grooves guide the bent cut-length strip steel to pass through the top of the middle plate 410; the bent cut-length strip steel is overlapped on the central support assembly 420, see Figure 7 The central support assembly 420 includes an upper arc-shaped support plate 421 and a pair of lower stoppers 422. The upper arc-shaped support plate 421 and the pair of lower stoppers 422 are distributed in a triangular shape. The welding position is between the pair of lower stoppers 422, and the central welding gun 440 is located here; see again Figure 6 The external limit assembly 430 includes a left push plate 431, a right push plate 432 and an upper pressure plate 433. The curved fixed-length strip steel is placed on the upper arc-shaped support plate 421. The two free ends of the curved fixed-length strip steel are against the middle plate 410. The left push plate 431 and the right push plate 432 respectively clamp the curved fixed-length strip steel from the left and right sides synchronously. The upper pressure plate 433 presses the curved fixed-length strip steel downward. At the same time, the left push plate 431 and the right push plate 432 continue to move to squeeze the curved fixed-length strip steel from the left and right sides until the preset limit position, so that the two free ends of the curved fixed-length strip steel enter the welding position from the gap between the lower limit member 422 and the middle plate 410 until they are butted. The central welding gun 440 performs splicing welding on the butted curved fixed-length strip steel to obtain an annular strip steel. It is understandable that the central welding gun 440 should be arranged on the longitudinal moving member so that the central welding gun 440 has longitudinal movement freedom, and the longitudinal movement facilitates complete welding of the joint seam. The annular steel strip obtained after welding is continuously transported to the subsequent stage through the push plate and the conveying channel.

[0067] See also Figure 8The corrugation module 500 includes a conveying channel 501. Conventionally, the conveying channel 501 adopts structures such as conveyor belts, conveyor rollers, and guide structures to keep the endless strip from being conveyed along the conveying channel 501 to the rear of the production line. The inlet end of the conveying channel 501 is set to be trumpet-shaped for docking with the outlet end of the curling welding module 400. A positioning component is arranged on the conveying channel 501. The positioning component includes auxiliary positioning wheels 511 arranged before and after the center positioning position. The auxiliary positioning wheels 511 rotate in the same direction to convey the endless strip to the rear of the production line. The auxiliary positioning wheels 511 located at the rear rotate in the opposite direction to keep the endless strip stationary at the center positioning position. A corrugation component 520 and a push plate component 530 are respectively arranged on both sides of the center positioning position perpendicular to the conveying channel 501. The push plate component 530 includes a push plate driven by a driver, and the endless strip can be pushed to the corrugation component 520 through the push plate action.

[0068] See also Fig. 9 The profiling assembly 520 includes a profiling roller group 521, which is divided into an upper profiling roller and a lower profiling roller. The outer contours of the upper profiling roller and the lower profiling roller are matched, and a gap for accommodating the annular steel strip is arranged between the upper profiling roller and the lower profiling roller. The annular steel strip is pushed into the gap between the upper profiling roller and the lower profiling roller by the push plate assembly 530. The profiling roller group 521 profils the annular steel strip into a preset shape through the concave-convex structure distributed on the surface after multiple rotations, and then becomes a finished sleeve. In the embodiment provided in the present application, the lower pressure roller of the profiling roller group 521 is a power roller, and the upper pressure roller is a pressure roller. The profiling assembly 520 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder 522, and the upper pressure roller is connected to the actuating end of the hydraulic cylinder 522. The hydraulic cylinder 522 applies force to drive the upper pressure roller to apply pressure downward. The lower pressure roller is connected to the drive motor through a transmission structure such as a gear set and a sprocket. The lower pressure roller rotates to drive the annular strip steel to rotate while the upper pressure roller applies pressure to the annular strip steel. After multiple rotations, the annular strip steel is gradually profiling into a preset shape to become a finished hoop. The profiling assembly 520 is also provided with a reverse thrust plate 523, which is driven by a driver to push the finished hoop from between the profiling roller group 521 back to the conveying channel 501, and the conveying channel 501 cooperates to convey the finished hoop to the outlet end.

[0069] The ferrule production device 1 produces a finished ferrule through an uncoiling module 100, a straightening module 200, a shearing module 300, a curling and welding module 400 and a corrugating module 500.
