Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage electrical appliance manufacturing, and in particular to a particle catcher production line. Background Art

[0002] The particle catcher (made of aluminum alloy) in GIL (Gas-Insulated metal enclosed transmission line) is mainly used to capture free metal conductive particles near the insulator. Its design and application are aimed at solving the movement problem of metal particles in the GIL system. If the free metal conductive particles in the GIL are not effectively controlled, it will seriously threaten the insulation performance of the system, and may cause surface flashover, air gap breakdown and short circuit failure, reduce operational reliability, increase maintenance costs, and even affect grid stability. Therefore, the particle catcher effectively captures these particles through its design, which is crucial to ensure the safe and stable operation of the GIL system. The particle catcher can effectively capture these particles through its specific structure and design, thereby reducing their impact on the GIL system.

[0003] However, the manufacturing process in the prior art mainly includes rolling, welding, weld grinding, rounding (shaping) or rolling, flanging (bending), welding or other similar processes. The main processes and material flow are still mainly manual operations, with a low degree of automation. Key processes such as rolling, welding, and rounding require high skill levels of operators, so there is a problem of low work efficiency and it is difficult to adapt to large-scale production needs. In addition, there are many problems. First, manual operations are easily affected by various factors, resulting in unstable product quality. For example, the rolling is not round, which requires repeated corrections later. Manual operations will cause the shell to deform during the handling process, resulting in a gap between the shell and the filter screen, making it impossible to capture all particles. The manual riveting accuracy is poor, resulting in uneven force at the connection, which seriously affects the service life, all of which directly affect the performance and reliability of the particle collector. Secondly, manual operation has safety hazards, especially when performing high-temperature and high-risk processes such as welding, safety accidents are prone to occur. Therefore, there are many disadvantages in the manual production of particle collector shells in the prior art, which urgently need to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a technical solution that can improve the production efficiency of particle traps. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a particle trap production line, which solves the problem of low production efficiency when producing particle traps in the related art.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A particulate filter production line, comprising a feeding assembly, a handling mechanism I, a punching machine, a polishing assembly, a rolling machine, an alignment machine, a stamping machine, a riveting machine, a flattening machine, a blanking conveyor belt, a palletizing device, and a handling mechanism II;

[0008] The feeding assembly is used for uncoiling, leveling, and cutting a coiled blank into blanks of the same size;

[0009] The handling mechanism I is used for conveying the blank between the feeding assembly, the punching machine, and the polishing assembly;

[0010] The handling mechanism II is used for conveying the blank that has been polished and formed by the rolling machine between the alignment machine, the stamping machine, the riveting machine, the flattening machine, and the blanking conveyor belt.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during the entire production process, the handling mechanism is used for transportation. The automated production line can significantly accelerate the production speed, reduce the time required for manual operation, thereby improving the overall production efficiency. In addition, when it is necessary to produce particulate filters of different specifications and sizes, the production line can adjust the configuration and parameters of each component according to needs to adapt to the production of particulate filters of different models and specifications, enhancing production flexibility.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes an uncoiler, a leveling machine, a cutting machine, a two-axis handling mechanism, a stock table, and an alignment platform;

[0013] A reel is arranged inside the uncoiler, and the reel is used for installing the coiled blank;

[0014] The leveling machine is located downstream of the uncoiler. The leveling machine includes a plurality of leveling rollers slidably assembled inside the leveling machine. The spacing of the leveling rollers is adjusted by controlling the height of the leveling rollers according to the thickness of the blank;

[0015] The cutting machine is located downstream of the leveling machine. The cutting machine includes a conveying table. A conveyor belt is arranged inside the conveying table. Two symmetrically arranged stoppers are arranged on the top of the conveying table. The distance between the two stoppers is the same as the width of the blank. The stoppers are used for restricting the angle of the blank so that it is always perpendicular to the cutting knife. A cutting mechanism is arranged on the top of the conveying table. The cutting mechanism includes a cutting knife and a pressing block. The tops of the cutting knife and the pressing block are respectively fixedly connected to the moving part of a cylinder. The cutting knife will only move downward to cut the blank after the pressing block positions the blank;

[0016] The two-axis transport mechanism is located on the top of the conveying platform, and the two-axis transport mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged slide rails 1, the tops of the moving parts of the two slide rails 1 are commonly fixedly connected with a mounting plate, one side of the mounting plate is installed with two symmetrically arranged slide rails 2, one side of the moving parts of the two slide rails 2 is commonly fixedly connected with a connecting plate, and one side of the connecting plate is provided with a plurality of symmetrically arranged suction cups 1, the cut blanks are picked up by the suction cups, and are placed on the storage platform through the slide rails 1 and 2;

[0017] A plurality of evenly distributed limiting columns in a rectangular array are arranged on the top of the storage table. The shape and size of the limiting columns are the same as the size of the blanks, and are used to store the cut blanks.

[0018] The alignment platform is located on one side of the material storage table, and a plurality of bull's eye wheels evenly distributed in a rectangular array are installed on the top of the alignment platform. Two limit blocks are respectively installed on the top of the alignment platform, and the limit blocks are located on both side edges of the alignment platform. The alignment platform is inclined toward the limit blocks. Through gravity and the setting of the bull's eye wheels, the blank placed on the top of the alignment platform will move along the inclined direction of the alignment platform until it contacts the two limit blocks respectively for positioning.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, an efficient and accurate blank processing process is realized. First, the unwinder has a built-in reel to facilitate the installation of rolled blanks. The following leveling machine adjusts the height of the leveling roller and flexibly adjusts the spacing according to the thickness of the blank to ensure the flatness of the blank. The slitting machine uses the coordinated work of the conveyor table and the cutting mechanism, uses the block to maintain the angle of the blank, and cooperates with the pressure block and the cutter to achieve accurate cutting. The two-axis transport mechanism uses the combination of slide rails one and two, and cooperates with the suction cup to pick up and accurately place the cut blanks on the storage table. The limit columns on the storage table ensure that the blanks are stored in an orderly manner. Finally, the alignment platform uses the bull's eye wheel and the limit block to automatically position the blank by gravity and the tilt angle, providing accurately aligned blanks for subsequent processes. This series of designs not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of blank processing.

[0020] Preferably, the transport mechanism 1 includes a ground rail 1 and a manipulator 1 installed on the ground rail 1, the ground rail 1 is located between the loading assembly and the polishing assembly, two symmetrically arranged grabbing racks are installed on one side of the manipulator 1, and a plurality of suction cups 2 evenly distributed in a rectangular array are arranged on one side of the grabbing rack. The blank on the top of the alignment platform is transferred to the punch press through the ground rail 1, and the punched blank is transported to the polishing assembly for grinding and polishing.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution and providing evenly arranged suction cups 2, the stability of transportation can be ensured during the process of picking up the blanks.

[0022] Preferably, the punching machine is located between the feeding assembly and the polishing assembly. The punching machine includes a placing plate and a punching head. Two longitudinally arranged sliding rails are symmetrically installed on the top of the punching machine. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the moving parts of the two longitudinally arranged sliding rails. Two transversely arranged sliding rails are symmetrically installed on the top of the fixing block. The placing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the moving parts of the two transversely arranged sliding rails.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, a placing plate that can be adjusted is provided. When the first manipulator transports the blank to the placing plate, only fixing is required to start punching, without repeatedly adjusting the position of the blank. This enables the blank to quickly enter the punching machine for processing after feeding, eliminating the need for additional handling and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0024] Preferably, the polishing assembly includes a polishing machine, a feeding conveyor belt, and a discharging conveyor belt. The feeding conveyor belt is communicated with the input end of the polishing machine, and the discharging conveyor belt is communicated with the output end of the polishing machine. Inside the polishing machine, several round-corner grinding rollers, burr polishing rollers, brush dust removal rollers, and secondary dust removal roller brushes are sequentially arranged from the input end to the output end. The brush dust removal roller is made of nylon material, and the secondary dust removal roller brush is made of sponge.

[0025] A dust collector is further arranged on the top of the polishing assembly for collecting and processing the dust generated during grinding. The suction ports of the dust collector are respectively located on the tops of the round-corner grinding rollers, burr polishing rollers, brush dust removal rollers, and secondary dust removal roller brushes.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of the polishing machine, the feeding conveyor belt, and the discharging conveyor belt realizes the automatic polishing process of the blank from input to output. The round-corner grinding rollers, burr polishing rollers, brush dust removal rollers made of nylon material, and secondary dust removal roller brushes made of sponge sequentially arranged inside the polishing machine can gradually remove the defects on the surface of the blank, achieving a smooth and delicate effect. At the same time, the dust collector equipped on the top of the assembly, with its suction ports accurately corresponding to each polishing roller brush, effectively collects and processes the dust generated during grinding, not only keeping the working environment clean, but also improving the polishing effect and ensuring the final quality of the product. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces manual intervention, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and environmentally friendly operation of the particulate trap production line.

[0027] Preferably, the rolling machine is located at the output end of the discharging conveyor belt. A guiding block is slidably connected to the top of the rolling machine. A guiding strip is fixedly connected to the top of the guiding block. The distance between the guiding strips is the same as the width of the blank.

[0028] Preferably, the second handling mechanism includes a second ground rail and a second manipulator. The second ground rail is located between the plate rolling machine and the blanking conveyor belt. Two clamping seats arranged in an annular array are installed on the second manipulator. A guiding rail is slidably connected inside the clamping seat. A sliding seat is fixedly connected to one side of the guiding rail. An upper clamping jaw is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding seat. A lower clamping jaw is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping seat. The upper clamping jaw and the lower clamping jaw have the same shape and size. A positioning groove is formed inside the lower clamping jaw, and the width of the positioning groove is the same as the thickness of the blank.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of the second ground rail and the second manipulator provides an efficient and stable solution for the handling of blanks in the particle trap production line. The annular array clamping seats equipped on the second manipulator, together with the guiding rail, sliding seat and upper clamping jaw slidably connected inside the clamping seat, and the positioning groove fixed inside the lower clamping jaw, can cooperate to precisely and firmly clamp the blank surfaces of different sizes. In addition, the positioning groove formed inside the lower clamping jaw has a width matching the thickness of the blank, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the blank during handling. It not only improves the handling efficiency, reduces the risk of damage to the blank during handling, but also provides a blank with accurate alignment for subsequent processing operations, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire production line and the product quality.

[0030] Preferably, the alignment machine is located downstream of the plate rolling machine. The alignment machine includes a placement table. Two symmetrically arranged roller shafts are rotatably installed inside the placement table. A synchronous belt is sleeved on the outer circumferential surfaces of the two roller shafts. A servo motor is installed inside the placement table. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a synchronous shaft through a coupling. One of the roller shafts is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the synchronous shaft;

[0031] Two symmetrically arranged stop bars are fixedly connected to the top of the alignment machine. An axial stop block is fixedly connected inside the two stop bars. Two symmetrically arranged electric sliding rails are installed on the top of the alignment machine. An axial positioning rod is fixedly connected to the top of the moving part of the electric sliding rail. The two axial positioning rods are symmetrically arranged;

[0032] A visual adjustment mechanism is installed on the top of the alignment machine;

[0033] The stamping machine is located downstream of the alignment machine. A lower fixture is fixedly connected inside the stamping machine. An upper fixture is slidably connected inside the lower fixture;

[0034] A bending punch is fixedly connected inside the stamping machine. A punching die is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bending punch. A punching groove is formed inside the punching die;

[0035] The riveting machine is located downstream of the stamping machine. The riveting machine includes a riveting seat and a riveting head;

[0036] The flattening machine is located downstream of the riveting machine. The flattening machine includes a lower chuck and a flat punch. An upper chuck is slidably connected inside the lower chuck, and an elastic positioning pin is slidably connected inside the lower chuck.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solutions, the alignment machine drives the synchronous belt through a servo motor to achieve precise conveying and positioning of the blank. In cooperation with the stop bar, axial stop block, and axial positioning rod driven by the electric slide rail at the top, it ensures the accurate alignment of the blank on the alignment machine. At the same time, the addition of the visual adjustment mechanism further improves the positioning accuracy. Subsequently, the blank enters the stamping machine. The lower fixture and the slidably connected upper fixture work together, in cooperation with the bending punch and the die, to achieve precise stamping and forming of the blank. Then, the riveting seat and the riveting head of the riveting machine efficiently complete the riveting operation to ensure a stable structure. Finally, the lower chuck, the slidably connected upper chuck, and the built-in elastic positioning pin of the flattening machine ensure the stability and precision of the blank during the flattening process, and finally obtain a particle catcher assembly with consistent quality and precise dimensions, which not only improves production efficiency but also ensures high product quality, providing a strong guarantee for the automated and precise production of the production line.

[0038] Preferably, the blanking conveyor belt is located downstream of the flattening machine, and the palletizing is located on one side of the output end of the blanking conveyor belt.

[0040] 1. Through the arrangement of structures such as the handling mechanism 1 and the handling mechanism 2, during the entire production process, the handling mechanism 1 and the handling mechanism 2 are used to handle the semi-finished products generated in each step, improving production efficiency.

[0041] 2. Through the arrangement of structures such as the alignment platform, the alignment platform is set to be inclined, and gravity is used to automatically position the blank to ensure the accuracy of subsequent production processes.

[0042] 3. Through the arrangement of structures such as the alignment machine, when the blank is placed on the alignment machine, the angle of the blank is adjusted by the roller shaft, and its circumferential positioning is adjusted by the axial stop block. After the positioning is completed, the manipulator 2 cooperating with it is used to handle the blank, thereby ensuring the accuracy of subsequent riveting.

[0043] 4. In the present invention, through the arrangement of mechanisms such as the polishing assembly, a rounding grinding roller, a burr polishing roller, a brush dust removal roller, and a secondary dust removal roller brush are sequentially arranged inside the polishing assembly. The blank is processed in sections, and the dust removal system equipped during the processing effectively collects the dust generated during the grinding process, reducing environmental pollution, promoting the cleanliness and hygiene of the production environment. At the same time, the implementation of the automated production line reduces the risk of manual operation, improves production safety, and contributes to the development of labor safety and occupational health.

[0044] 5. In the present invention, through the arrangement of structures such as the cutting machine, the electronic control cutting machine is used for cutting throughout the process, and the two-axis handling mechanism is used for the automated handling process, thereby reducing material waste and improving the material utilization rate. At the same time, by setting cylinders for the cutting knife and the pressing block respectively, before cutting, the pressing block first fixes the blank, and then the cutting knife cuts, reducing the cost increase caused by operation errors or material damage and achieving effective cost savings.

[0093] A bending punch 702 is fixedly connected inside the punching machine 7. A bottom of the bending punch 702 is fixedly connected with a punching die 705, and a punching groove 701 is formed inside the punching die 705;

[0094] The riveting machine 8 is located downstream of the punching machine 7. The riveting machine 8 includes a riveting seat 801 and a riveting head 802;

[0095] The flattening machine 9 is located downstream of the riveting machine 8. The flattening machine 9 includes a lower chuck 902 and a flat punch 904. An upper chuck 903 is slidably connected inside the lower chuck 902, and an elastic positioning pin 901 is slidably connected inside the lower chuck 902.

[0096] As Figures 1 - 13 shown, the blanking conveyor belt 10 is located downstream of the flattening machine 9, and the palletizing 11 is located on one side of the output end of the blanking conveyor belt 10.

[0097] Working principle: First, place the coiled blank on the uncoiler 101 to unwind the coil. Place the uncoiled blank inside the flattening machine 102 and flatten the blank through the flattening rollers to facilitate subsequent punching. After passing through the flattening machine 102, the blank will be conveyed forward by the conveyor belt inside the cutting machine 103 until it moves to an appropriate length. During the movement, the blank will move along the gap inside the two stoppers. At this time, the stoppers will play a role in positioning the blank, so that the angle between the blank and the cutting knife remains relatively perpendicular. At this time, the air cylinder will first drive the pressing block to move downward to clamp the blank to prevent the blank from moving during the cutting process. After the fixation is completed, another air cylinder will drive the cutting knife to move downward to cut the blank into an appropriate length;

[0098] After the cutting is completed, the suction cup inside the two-axis handling mechanism 104 will pick up the cut blank and place it inside the limit posts on the top of the stock table 105 through the first slide rail and the second slide rail. Since the shape formed by the limit posts is the same as the size of the blank, a large number of blanks can be stacked and stored;

[0099] Furthermore, when the stored blank needs to be used, the blank inside the limit posts is still extracted by the first suction cup and transported to the top of the alignment platform 106 through the first slide rail and the second slide rail. Since the top of the alignment platform 106 is arranged in an inclined shape, the blank will slide along the inclined plane to the included angle of the two limit blocks. In addition, due to the setting of the bull's-eye wheels, the blank will slide more smoothly during the sliding process to ensure that the two sides of the blank are respectively in contact with the two limit blocks, ensuring the accurate position of the blank and preparing for the subsequent picking by the second handling mechanism 12;

[0100] Further, the first manipulator 202 moves to the alignment platform 106 through the first ground rail 201, sucks the blank through the second suction cup 204 arranged on the first manipulator 202, and moves it to the placement plate 301 of the punching machine 3 through the first ground rail 201. Since the bottom of the placement plate 301 is respectively provided with a transverse slide rail 303 and a longitudinal slide rail 302, the position of the blank can be moved as needed, which is convenient for punching the entire surface of the blank. After the placement is completed, the punching machine 3 can be started for punching. It should be noted that the punching machine 3 can be any numerically controlled punching machine 3 that can perform punching operations in the prior art. The entire punching process is in the prior art and will not be elaborated here;

[0101] Further, after punching the blank, the first manipulator 202 first picks up the material, transports it to the top of the feeding conveyor belt 401 through the first ground rail 201, and transports the blank into the polishing machine 403 through the transportation of the feeding conveyor belt 401. The polishing machine 403 successively grinds the corners, polishes the surface, and removes dust of the blank, pre-treating the surface of the blank for subsequent coiling and riveting. During the grinding and polishing process, the dust generated by grinding on the surface is removed by the brush dust removal roller and the secondary dust removal roller brush, and the dust is collected and recycled through the vacuum cleaner arranged on its top for further treatment, which is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and promotes labor safety and occupational health development;

[0102] Furthermore, the blank after grinding and polishing is output through the discharging conveyor belt 402 and finally enters the internal of the coiling machine 5, where it is automatically coiled. It should be noted that an automatic coiling machine 5 is used here, which can automatically coil the input blank. An automatic coiling machine 5 with the model W11-20x2500 can be selected for coiling, and this will not be elaborated here;

[0103] After coiling, the second manipulator 1202 will first start to separate the upper clamping jaw 1206 and the lower clamping jaw 1207, move the upper clamping jaw 1206 and the lower clamping jaw 1207 to the top and bottom of the blank respectively through the second manipulator 1202, and then reset the clamping seat 1203 to close the upper clamping jaw 1206 and the lower clamping jaw 1207. At this time, the blank will be exactly clamped in the positioning groove 1208 inside the lower clamping jaw 1207, which is convenient for handling the blank. After fixing, the blank is transported to the two rollers on the top of the aligning machine 6 through the second ground rail 1201;

[0104] Further, the visual adjustment mechanism 603 axially and circumferentially positions the blank located on the roller shaft. By starting the roller shaft to drive the blank to rotate, the position where the top of the blank is connected is made to be at the top, facilitating the accuracy of the subsequent riveting process. In addition, during the adjustment process, the two stop bars can adjust the edge of the blank, further ensuring the precision of the subsequent riveting;

[0105] Further, after the positioning is completed, the manipulator II 1202 will continue to clamp the blank and transport it to the stamping machine 7 to stamp and bend the product interface to connect the connection part of the blank. After the stamping is completed, the manipulator II 1202 will continue to transport it to the riveting machine 8 to rivet the connection part of the blank. It should be noted that the riveting here uses non-rivet self-piercing SPR riveting, without welding deformation, without the need for rounding, and the product consistency is good, preventing the blank from deforming during the riveting process. Finally, after the riveting is completed, the manipulator II 1202 will continue to transport it to the flattening machine 9. At this time, positioning is carried out by the cooperation of the elastic positioning pins on the flattening machine 9 and the punching holes on the surface of the blank. After the positioning is completed, the flattening machine 9 flattens the three circular holes evenly distributed in the circumference and the surrounding area to press out three planes to facilitate the subsequent assembly and positioning work. Finally, the finished product is transported to the blanking conveyor belt 10 by the manipulator II 1202. After being transported by the blanking conveyor belt 10, it is manually inspected and palletized 11. The operator can complete the operation of the entire production line by controlling the operation panel, improving the automation degree of the equipment, reducing the skill requirements of the practitioners, and enhancing the efficiency of the entire process. In addition, the utilization rate of materials can be improved through automated cutting, saving costs.

[0106] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
