Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an online automatic coil bagging system and method. In the online automatic coil bagging system, mechatronics technology and AI image recognition technology are combined to improve the packaging quality and efficiency of high-end wire materials, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and belong to the field of metallurgical equipment technology. Background Art

[0002] High-end wire rod production lines typically produce products with sizes ranging from 5mm to 28mm. After rolling, the rolled product is unrolled from the laying head into coils. After cooling, the wire rod is gathered at the coiling station and transported to the PF line via a vertical coiling mandrel. The PF line plays a vital role in high-speed wire rod production and is widely used as a coil transportation method. The PF line features a lifting platform. Through precise mechanical design and rational layout, the coils are efficiently and stably transported. The PF line then feeds the coils to the bundling machine for bundling into hot-rolled coils. High-end wire rods require high surface quality, and the finished coils must be free of rust and surface damage. To prevent water damage and minimize surface damage during transportation and storage, the hot-rolled coils are bagged online after bundling. Existing high-speed wire rod bagging is performed manually, requiring at least six workers simultaneously. This not only requires extensive labor and harsh working conditions, but also results in low collaboration efficiency, directly impacting the production line's production pace. At the same time, due to the heavy weight of the coil, manual operation is very difficult. Due to the influence of manual skills, physical strength, and emotions, it is difficult to ensure stable packaging quality, and bagging and packaging rework will occur.

[0013] An online automatic bagging method for coils adopts the above-mentioned automatic bagging system for coils, the coil shape recognition system communicates with the control system, the control system recognizes the outer dimensions and axis of the coil and judges abnormal coils through the coil shape recognition system, and uses a bag grabbing device to automatically grab and send the coil packaging bag; uses an outer bagging device to expand the packaging bag according to the outer dimensions of the coil, and sends the front half of the packaging bag from the front end of the coil to the rear end of the coil to realize automatic outer bagging; uses an inner bagging device to push the rear half of the packaging bag from the front end of the coil to the rear end of the coil; and controls the outer bagging device, the bag grabbing device and the inner bagging device to cooperate and link through the control system to realize automatic bagging and packaging of the coil.

[0014] The specific steps include: placing the packaging bag (an unsealed bag) flat in front of a horizontal slide rail; the coil runs to the PF line lift station, where an industrial camera captures an image of the coil, and an industrial computer determines whether the coil shape is normal. If the coil shape is normal, the two bag-grabbing cantilevers are controlled to descend simultaneously, energizing the needle suction cup solenoid valve to attract both the front and rear bag openings; the two bag-grabbing cantilevers simultaneously rise to the elevation, and the two vertical rails move horizontally toward the PF line lift platform to the bag-stretching mechanism; the bag-stretching mechanism's laser rangefinder detects the initial distance between the tensioning plate and the coil outer ring, and the control system compares the distance and determines the displacement parameters. The control system then initiates logical control: expanding the bag outward to complete the outer bag-sleeving operation; the bag-stretching mechanism moves to the initial bag-stretching position, and the two vertical rails move to the initial bag-grabbing position; the PF line lift platform rises, the inner bag cantilever moves downward, and the inner bag pushes the end of the ejector pin to flip the bag, and flexibly twists and feeds the bag to the rear end of the coil, completing the bag turning and feeding; the inner bag lift track and rear vertical track synchronously return to their initial positions, and the inner bag cantilever rises and resets, completing the inner bag-sleeving operation.

[0015] Technical features of the present invention: (1) The present invention uses visual inspection to detect the outer dimensions of the coil, determine the qualified coil type, and locate the coil axis in combination with laser ranging. For coils with qualified coil types, the packaging bag is grabbed by controlling the front and rear bag grabbing devices and sent to the outer bagging device; the outer bagging device is controlled to support and feed the bag, and the front half of the packaging bag is smoothly put on the coil, completing the outer bagging operation; the inner bagging device is controlled to flip and push the second half of the packaging bag through the coil core, completing the inner bagging operation. At this point, the coil bagging operation is automatically completed, replacing the manual bagging and packaging operation, and improving the production line production efficiency.

[0016] (2) The bagging mechanism of the present invention comprises a C-shaped steel frame, and six sets of tensioning plates are evenly distributed on the bagging frame to perform the manual bag-holding operation. According to the size of the coil outer ring detected by visual inspection, the servo motor of each tensioning plate is actuated to adjust the position of the tensioning plate to achieve a consistent distance between the tensioning plate and the coil outer ring, thus ensuring an unimpeded bagging process.

[0017] (3) The present invention comprises two sets of bag grabbing devices, each responsible for grabbing the front and rear bag openings. The two bag grabbing cantilevers move downward synchronously, and the bag grabbing detection probe detects the bag on the ground. The four sets of needle suction cups operate simultaneously, grabbing the front and rear bag openings, lifting them to the elevation, and moving them toward the outer bag device, delivering the front bag opening to the initial position of the outer bag device, thus completing the delivery of the bag.

[0018] (4) After the inner bag device of the present invention receives the action instruction, the inner bag cantilever moves downward, so that the inner bag pushing rod reaches the center position of the coil at the lower end of the C-shaped hook, the inner bag lifting track pushes forward, the end of the inner bag pushing rod flips the packaging bag, and flexibly twists the packaging bag to the rear end of the coil, completing the bag turning and sending action, and realizing automatic inner bag turning.

[0019] (5) The coil shape recognition system of the present invention uses a CCD industrial camera for visual inspection of coils. The industrial computer intelligently determines the external dimensions (including outer diameter and length) and abnormal coils, and locates the coil axis in combination with the tensioning plate laser ranging data, forming a control parameter communication control system. The control system uses S7-1500 to control the coordinated linkage of various devices to complete bagging.

[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: a bag-grabbing device automatically grabs and delivers coil packaging bags; an outer bagging device expands the packaging bag according to the coil's external dimensions, moving the front half of the packaging bag from the front end of the coil to the rear end, achieving automatic outer bagging; and an inner bagging device pushes the rear half of the packaging bag from the front end of the coil to the rear end, replacing manual bagging operations. This significantly reduces labor intensity and improves operator safety. Furthermore, standardization of coil packaging is achieved, improving packaging quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
