Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for wire production, and particularly to an automatic wire stranding machine for industrial robot cables. Background Art

[0002] Since industrial robot cables need to move back and forth frequently during use, it is required that industrial robot cables have high bending resistance. In order to improve their bending resistance, elastic filaments need to be added to the wires, and several wires and several elastic filaments are evenly stranded together to form a wire with bending resistance.

[0003] The current wire stranding machine has a simple structure and cannot be adjusted intelligently. It is mainly used for stranding multiple wires. When elastic filaments need to be added to the wires and the existing stranding machine is used for stranding, since the elastic filaments are elastic, it is very easy for the wire to be bent and deformed after stranding, and it is difficult to ensure the stranding quality. Moreover, common stranding machines are difficult to achieve high-quality and high-efficiency intelligent wire stranding. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Embodiment: An automatic wire stranding machine for industrial robot cables, comprising an equipment base 1, a stranding main shaft 2, a stranding driving device 3, a wire supply turntable 4, a wire spool 5, an elastic wire spool 6, a stranding turntable 7, a stranding lead-in mechanism 8, a wire take-up turntable 9, a wire take-up driving device 10 and a control system. A first support frame 11, a second support frame 12, a third support frame 13 and a fourth support frame 14 are sequentially arranged on the equipment base 1. The wire supply turntable 4 and the stranding turntable 7 are coaxially rotatably installed on the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 respectively. The stranding lead-in mechanism 8 is fixedly installed on the third support frame 13. The wire take-up turntable 9 is rotatably installed on the fourth support frame 14. The wire take-up driving device 10 drives the first turntable to rotate for taking up the wire. The wire supply turntable 4 and the stranding turntable 7 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the stranding main shaft 2. The stranding driving device 3 drives the stranding main shaft 2 to rotate. A plurality of wire spools 5 and elastic wire spools 6 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the stranding main shaft 2 and rotatably installed on the wire supply turntable 4. A damping device for providing resistance to the rotation thereof is further provided on the wire spools 5 and the elastic wire spools 6. A plurality of wire passing holes 14 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the stranding main shaft on the stranding turntable 7. The wire passing holes 14 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the wire spools 5 and the elastic wire spools 6. A wire guiding wheel 15 is rotatably provided in the wire passing holes 14. The stranding lead-in mechanism 8 comprises a stranding lead-in support frame 16, an upper lead-in wheel 17, a lower lead-in wheel 18, a lead-in slider 19 and an elastic member 20. The stranding lead-in support frame 16 is fixedly installed on the third support frame 13. The lower lead-in wheel 18 is rotatably installed on the stranding lead-in support frame 16. The lead-in slider 19 is slidably installed up and down on the stranding lead-in support frame 16. The upper lead-in wheel 17 is rotatably installed on the lead-in slider 19. Opposite lead-in grooves 21 are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the upper lead-in wheel 17 and the lower lead-in wheel 18. The elastic member 20 provides a downward elastic force to the lead-in slider 19. The wires and elastic wires led out from the wire spools 5 and the elastic wire spools 6 respectively pass through the wire passing holes 14 on the stranding turntable 7 in one-to-one correspondence and are gathered towards the center direction of the stranding main shaft 2 for stranding after passing around the wire guiding wheels 15. The stranded wires are wound around the wire take-up turntable 9 through the lead-in grooves 21 of the upper lead-in wheel 17 and the lower lead-in wheel 18 of the stranding lead-in mechanism 8. The control system controls the stranding driving device 3 and the wire take-up driving device 10 to rotate synchronously according to the designed speed ratio.

[0023] First, install the wire spool 5 and the elastic wire spool 6 on the wire supply turntable 4. Then, lead the wire and the elastic wire out from the wire spool 5 and the elastic wire spool 6 and pass them through each wire passing hole 14 of the stranding turntable 7. After all the wires and elastic wires pass through the wire passing holes 14 of the stranding turntable 7, they converge and enter the stranding lead mechanism 8. The stranded wire from the stranding lead mechanism 8 is wound on the take-up turntable 9, and the take-up turntable 9 is driven to rotate by the take-up driving device 10 to realize the traction of the wire material. When starting to strand the wire material, the stranding main shaft 2 starts to rotate. The stranding main shaft 2 drives the wire supply turntable 4 and the stranding turntable 7 to rotate synchronously. Then, along with the forward stretching of the wire material, each wire and elastic wire are stranded together to form a stranded wire. The stranded wire is finally all wound on the take-up turntable 9 for take-up. Before the stranded wire is taken up, it is corrected by the wire guiding grooves 21 on the upper wire guiding wheel 17 and the lower wire guiding wheel 18 of the stranding lead mechanism 8 to avoid complete deformation of the stranded wire. The damping devices of the wire spool 5 and the elastic wire spool 6 can ensure that a certain tension is maintained when the wire and the elastic wire are being pulled.

[0024] A first cylinder 22 is further provided on the stranding lead bracket 16 of the stranding lead mechanism 8. The lead slider 19 is installed at the end of the piston rod of the first cylinder 22 so as to be able to move up and down by a set distance. The first cylinder 22 can drive the lead slider 19 to move up and down. The elastic member 20 is arranged between the end of the piston rod of the first cylinder 22 and the lead slider 19 to provide a downward elastic force for the sliding of the lead. The air drives the lead slider 19 to slide up and down through the first cylinder 22 to realize the switching between the normal traction correction state and the wire threading state of the wire.

[0025] A number of wire supply chutes extending radially along it are equiangularly provided on the wire supply turntable 4. Wire supply sliders are slidably installed in each wire supply chute. A number of wire material tension adjustment driving devices 23 are also provided on the wire supply turntable 4. The wire material tension adjustment driving devices 23 can drive each wire supply slider to slide along the wire supply chute. Each wire spool 5 and elastic wire spool 6 are respectively and correspondingly installed on the wire supply sliders. A number of wire material tension detection sensors are also provided. Each wire material tension detection sensor can detect the tension of the wire material led out from each wire spool 5 and elastic wire spool 6. Each wire material tension detection sensor communicates with the control system to transmit the tension data of each wire material in real time. The control system controls the start, stop and forward and reverse operation of each wire material tension adjustment driving device 23. To reduce the tension fluctuation, during the stranding process, when the tension of the wire and the elastic wire suddenly changes, the wire supply slider will move on the wire supply turntable 4, playing a role in dynamically adjusting the tension of the wire and the elastic wire.

[0026] The wire material tension adjustment driving device 23 includes a motor and a lead screw nut mechanism. The motor drives the lead screw of the lead screw nut mechanism to rotate. The nut of the lead screw nut mechanism is fixedly connected to the wire supply slider.

[0027] The take-up turntable 9 includes a winding roller and baffle plates. The two baffle plates are respectively detachably fixed and sleeved on the outer sides of the two axial ends of the winding roller. A space for accommodating the wire is formed between the two baffle plates. The wire can be wound around the outer circumference of the winding roller. Between the third support frame 13 and the fourth support frame 14 of the equipment base 1, there is also a fifth support frame 24. On the fifth support frame, there is a wire arranging slider 25 that can reciprocally slide along a slide rail parallel to the axis of the winding roller. A wire through-hole 26 is provided on the wire arranging slider 25. The wire led out from the stranding lead mechanism 8 passes through the wire through-hole 26 and is finally wound around the winding roller. A wire arranging driving device 27 is also provided on the fifth support frame. The wire arranging driving device 27 drives the wire arranging slider 25 to reciprocally slide, so that the wire is reciprocally wound and arranged at uniform intervals along the axial direction of the winding roller.

[0028] Before the stranded wire enters the take-up turntable 9, it first passes through the wire through-hole 26 on the wire arranging slider 25. The stranded wire reciprocally translates along the axial direction of the winding roller while the wire arranging slider 25, and at the same time, it is wound around the outer circumference of the winding roller. This mechanism realizes the layer-by-layer winding of the stranded wire on the winding roller, and finally forms a wire coil. After the stranded wire is wound around the winding roller to form a wire coil, by first removing the baffle plates and then removing the wire coil from the winding roller, the blanking of the wire coil can be facilitated. The wire coil after blanking can be stored by winding with a tape.

[0029] There is also a length counter and a stranded wire cutting device 36. The length counter can measure the length of the stranded wire. Between the third support frame 13 and the fifth support frame 24, there is also a sixth support frame 37. The stranded wire cutting device 36 is fixedly installed on the sixth support frame 37. The stranded wire cutting device 36 can cut the stranded wire that is about to be wound around the winding roller. During the process that the wire and the elastic wire are wound around the take-up turntable 9 after stranding, the length counter calculates the length of the completed stranded wire. When its length reaches the design requirement, the take-up turntable 9 and the stranding main shaft 2 stop rotating, and the stranded wire cutting device 36 cuts the stranded wire, thereby realizing fixed-length take-up. The stranded wire cutting device 36 can be cut by a scissor mechanism or can be cut by a cutting tool mechanism.

[0030] There is also a single-wire cutting assembly, including a cutting disk 28, a cutting knife 29 and a cutting driving device. The cutting disk 28 is fixedly sleeved on the stranding main shaft 2 between the wire supply turntable 4 and the stranding turntable. A number of cutting holes 30 corresponding to the wire passing holes 14 on the stranding turntable are provided on the cutting disk 28. A cutting knife groove 38 is formed on one side wall of the cutting hole 30, and a cutting knife accommodating groove is provided on the other side wall of the cutting hole 30. The cutting knife 29 can be accommodated in the cutting knife accommodating groove, and the cutting knife 29 can extend along the cutting knife accommodating groove towards the cutting knife groove 38 to cut the wire passing through the cutting hole 30. The cutting driving device drives each cutting knife 29 to synchronously expand and contract, and the control system can control the start and stop of the cutting driving device.

[0031] When the wire stranding is completed and it is necessary to remove the wire spool 5 and the elastic wire spool 6, it is necessary to cut each wire and elastic wire. When cutting the wire and elastic wire, start the tangent drive device, and the tangent knife 29 extends to cooperate with the cutter groove 38 to cut the wire and elastic wire.

[0032] A fixed wire clamp 31 and a movable wire clamp 32 are further arranged in the wire passing hole 14. The movable wire clamp 32 can slide radially along the radial direction of the stranding turntable 7. The movable wire clamp 32 and the fixed wire clamp 31 can clamp the wire in the wire passing hole 14 or loosen the wire in the wire passing hole 14. A wire clamping drive device is further arranged on the stranding turntable 7. The wire clamping drive device drives the movable wire clamp 32 to move, and the control system controls the start and stop of the wire clamping drive device. Preferably, when cutting the wire and elastic wire, the wire is clamped and fixed by the fixed wire clamp 31 and the movable wire clamp 32 in the wire passing hole 14 to ensure the smooth cutting of the wire and elastic wire.

[0033] Both the tangent drive device and the wire clamping drive device include a second cylinder 35 fixedly installed in the stranding main shaft 2. A frustum 39 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the second cylinder 35. A plurality of avoidance holes are provided on the side wall of the stranding main shaft 2, which are respectively opposite to the tangent holes 30 and the wire passing holes 14. A plurality of radial slideways respectively opposite to the tangent holes 30 and the wire passing holes 14 and communicating with them are provided on the tangent disc 28 and the stranding turntable 7. A driving rod 33 capable of sliding is arranged in the radial slideway. One end of the driving rod 33 is fixedly connected to the tangent knife 29 and the movable wire clamp 32, and the other end of the driving rod 33 is closely attached to the outer circumferential surface of the frustum 39. The tangent drive device and the wire clamping drive device further include a spring 34. The spring 34 provides an elastic force for the driving rod 33 to keep in close contact with the frustum 39. The telescopic movement of the piston rod of the second cylinder 35 can drive each driving rod 33 to slide synchronously along the radial slideway, so that each tangent knife 29 and the movable wire clamp 32 synchronously clamp the wire and synchronously cut the wire. By driving the frustum 39 to move axially by the second cylinder 35 hidden in the stranding main shaft 2, the telescopic movement of each driving rod 33 is realized, and then the telescopic movement of the tangent knife 29 and the movable wire clamp 32 is realized. This mechanism can ensure that all the tangent knives 29 and all the movable wire clamps 32 act synchronously. Preferably, when cutting the wire and elastic wire, first let the movable wire clamp 32 move in place to clamp the wire and elastic wire, and then make the tangent knife 29 extend to cut the wire and elastic wire.

[0034] Two groups of wire guiding wheels 15 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the wire in the wire passing hole 14. Each group of wire guiding wheels 15 consists of two arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the stranding turntable 7. Arc-shaped concave rings for the wire to pass through are correspondingly arranged on the outer circumferential side walls of the respective wire guiding wheels 15. This structure can prevent the wire and elastic wire from being stuck and broken in the wire passing hole 14.
