Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable production, and particularly relates to a loading trolley and a loading method. Background Art

[0002] Cable wires and cables are electrical products composed of one or more conductors and their insulating layers, sheath layers, etc., and are used to transmit electricity or signals. They are widely used in various electrical and electronic equipment and projects, such as household power systems, communication systems, industrial control, and automotive electrical systems. According to different requirements and applications, cables can be divided into various types and specifications.

[0003] During the production process of cables, it is necessary to load the reels wound with cables onto a trolley. The loading process usually involves using a transport vehicle (or robot) to place the reel on the trolley, and the trolley moves along the track to transport the reel to the loading end of the track (i.e., the end of the track). Then, a forklift inserts the forks into the jack at the center of the reel at the end of the track, and the reel enters the next production process as the forks move.

[0004] During this loading process, the cooperation between the forks and the jack is relatively precise, and their positions are relatively fixed when they cooperate. However, the space in the cable production workshop is limited, and the forklift parking position at the end of the track is easily occupied by other transport vehicles or operators, forming an obstruction. At this time, the forklift needs to park in other spaces and wait for the occupied transport vehicle to move away before continuing the loading process, or the operator needs to carry the reel onto the forks of the forklift. Neither method can effectively solve the problem of the blocked forklift parking position, thus affecting the loading efficiency of the reel. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a loading trolley and a loading method, which can solve the problem in the background art that the blocked forklift parking position cannot be effectively solved, thus affecting the loading efficiency of the reel.

Detailed description of the specific implementation mode

[0036] The following is a detailed description of the specific implementation mode of the present invention, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific implementation mode.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, an upper plate trolley is applicable to a wire spool 7, and the wire spool 7 is provided with a jack 71. The upper plate trolley includes: a track 1, a moving seat 2 is fixedly installed on a bracket 3, and the moving seat 2 is slidably connected to the track 1. The moving seat 2 is fixedly installed with a bracket 3, and through the moving seat 2 and the track 1, the support can move horizontally along the X direction. A support column 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the bracket 3, and a buffer pad is arranged at the top of the support column 4.

[0038] Among them, the bracket 3 is connected to the rotating device 6, and the rotating device 6 is used to adjust the rotation angle of the wire reel 7.

[0039] Specifically, as Figures 4 - 5 shown, the rotating device 6 includes a turntable 61, and a tabletop 5 is arranged outside the turntable 61. A limiting block is also arranged on the top of the turntable 61 for fixing the relative positions of the turntable 61 and the wire reel 7 to prevent the wire reel 7 from rolling on the turntable 61. A first gear 62 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the turntable 61, a bearing 63 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first gear 62, the bearing 63 is fixedly installed on the tabletop 5, and a support structure is arranged at the bottom of the tabletop 5 for installation. The first gear 62 meshes with a second gear 64, the second gear 64 is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft 65, the rotating shaft 65 is installed at the output end of a first motor 66, and the tabletop 5 is fixedly connected with the first motor 66.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first motor 66 drives the rotating shaft 65 to rotate, the rotating shaft 65 drives the second gear 64 to rotate, the second gear 64 drives the first gear 62 to rotate, and the turntable 61 connected to the first gear 62 rotates accordingly. The output of the first motor 66 can be adjusted according to the rotation angle required by the wire reel 7 placed on the top of the turntable 61.

[0041] It should be noted that the diameter of the second gear 64 is smaller than that of the first gear 62, so that the rotation speed of the first gear 62 is slower, and the rotation angle of the wire reel 7 on the top of the turntable 61 can be adjusted more precisely. Through the rotating device 6, the wire reel 7 can be adjusted to a suitable angle according to the position of the forklift fork, ensuring that the wire reel 7 can be correctly docked with the forklift fork. The rotating device 6 can provide high-precision angle control, so that even in a narrow space, the accuracy of the docking of the wire reel 7 can be ensured.

[0042] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the bracket 3 is connected to the lifting device 8, and the lifting device 8 is used to adjust the height of the wire reel 7.

[0043] Specifically, the lifting device 8 includes a second motor 81, a worm 82 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 81, the worm 82 meshes with a worm gear. The worm gear is connected to a lead screw 83, a box body is arranged outside the lead screw 83, the worm gear is assembled inside the box body, and the box body is used to protect the worm gear. On the other hand, it can also prevent the operators in the workshop from accidentally touching the worm gear. The second motor 81 drives the worm 82 to rotate, and the worm 82 drives the lead screw 83 to lift through the worm gear. The lead screw 83 is fixedly connected with the tabletop 5, so that the lead screw 83 can drive the entire tabletop 5 and the rotating device 6 to lift during the lifting process.

[0044] In some embodiments, a synchronous pulley is also fixedly installed on the surface of the worm 82. The synchronous pulley is drivingly connected to a synchronous belt 84. Through the transmission of the synchronous belt 84, the lead screws 83 evenly distributed at the four corners of the tabletop 5 can be lifted synchronously, and only one second motor 81 is required for driving. This reduces the operation difficulty of the equipment and the manufacturing cost of the upper plate trolley.

[0045] In the present invention, based on the direction in which the wire reel 7 is forked, the rotating device 6 can be adjusted to rotate the turntable 61 until the wire reel 7 rotates to a suitable angle. When the insertion hole 71 of the wire reel 7 is coaxial with the forklift fork, the rotation angle of the wire reel 7 at this time is the suitable angle.

[0046] As Figures 6 - 8 shown, by adjusting the rotation angle of the wire reel 7 through the rotating device 6, the position of the wire reel 7 can be adapted to that of the forklift in different working environments. When the forklift is parked at the upper plate end side of the track 1, the wire reel 7 can be adapted to the forklift fork without rotation. When the forklift is parked in the Y direction on both sides of the track 1 due to the occlusion of other equipment or operators in the workshop, the wire reel 7 can be rotated by ninety degrees so that the insertion hole 71 faces the forklift fork directly. When there are occlusions on both sides and the upper plate end side of the track 1 and the forklift is parked in the gap between the occlusions, at this time the forklift fork is inclined in the X-Y plane and points to the wire reel 7, and the wire reel 7 is rotated to the required angle so that the fork can smoothly fork the material. In addition, the sliding fit between the moving seat 2 and the track 1 ensures that the wire reel 7 can move freely in the horizontal direction. This design adapts to the change of the forklift parking position. No matter how the position of the forklift changes, the wire reel 7 can reach the access position of the fork smoothly through this moving mechanism.

[0047] In the present invention, the wire reel 7 can be rotated through the rotating device 6 so that the wire reel 7 can be adapted to forklifts parked in different positions and directions. In a limited production workshop, there is no need to limit the position of the forklift. In the case of occlusions, the position of the forklift can be flexibly scheduled, and the wire reel 7 can be adapted to the position of the fork, thereby making the production scheduling more flexible and not affecting the loading efficiency of the wire reel 7, and improving the production speed of the workshop. Compared with the method of manually carrying the wire reel 7 to the fork, the loading efficiency is further improved. This upper plate trolley is suitable for some workshops or production sites with narrow spaces and non-fixed forklift parking positions, and can effectively avoid production stagnation caused by insufficient space. At the same time, the intelligent design of the system can reduce manual operation, thereby reducing the waste of resources caused by improper operation.

[0048] It can be understood that due to the different specifications of the wire spool 7, the height of its jack 71 will also be different. The height of the forklift forks of the same forklift is constant. If a forklift is selected to match the wire spool 7, the production cost of the wire and cable will be greatly increased. Through the lifting device 8 in this application, the height of the wire spool 7 can be adjusted so that wire spools 7 of different specifications can all be adapted to the forklift. The height adjustment ensures that in different working environments, the wire spool 7 can be compatible with forklift forks of different sizes, and also enables the forklift to be compatible with wire spools 7 of different specifications, thereby improving the adaptability of the operation.

[0049] The specific adjustment method is that the second motor 81 drives the worm 82 to rotate, and the worm 82 drives the lead screw 83 to lift through the worm gear, so that the lead screw 83 can drive the entire table 5 and the rotating device 6 to lift during the lifting process. When the wire spool 7 at the top of the turntable 61 is lifted to a position where the jack 71 and the forklift forks are on the same plane, the rotation angle of the wire spool 7 can be adjusted.

[0050] In an embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, the present invention provides a method for loading the upper disk, using a loading trolley, and the specific steps include:

[0051] S1. The moving seat 2 moves to the initial end of the track 1 and waits for the wire spool 7 to be loaded.

[0052] S2. The transporter places the wire spool 7 on the turntable 61, and the moving seat 2 moves along the X direction on the track 1 until the wire spool 7 is located at the upper disk end of the track 1.

[0053] S3. The operator operates the forklift to park near the loading trolley. The parking position can be on the side of the upper disk end of the track 1 or at any position on both sides of the track 1. Based on the position of the forklift and the fork loading direction of the forklift forks, the rotating device 6 is adjusted to rotate the wire spool 7 until the jack 71 and the forklift forks are coaxial.

[0054] Specifically, the first motor 66 drives the rotating shaft 65 to rotate, the rotating shaft 65 drives the second gear 64 to rotate, the second gear 64 drives the first gear 62 to rotate, and the turntable 61 connected to the first gear 62 rotates accordingly.

[0055] Since the wire spool 7 has different specifications, the height of its jack 71 will also be different. The height of the forklift forks of the same forklift is constant. If a forklift is selected to match the wire spool 7, the production cost of the wire and cable will be greatly increased. Through the lifting device 8 in this application, the height of the wire spool 7 can be adjusted so that wire spools 7 of different specifications can all be adapted to the forklift.

[0056] The specific adjustment method is that the second motor 81 drives the worm 82 to rotate, and the worm 82 drives the lead screw 83 to lift through the worm wheel, so that the lead screw 83 can drive the entire tabletop 5 and the rotating device 6 to lift during the lifting process. When the wire reel 7 at the top of the turntable 61 is lifted to the position where the jack 71 and the forklift fork are on the same plane, the rotation angle of the wire reel 7 can be adjusted.

[0057] S4. When the wire reel 7 at the top of the turntable 61 moves to match the forklift fork, the forklift drives the forklift fork to extend towards the wire reel 7 until the forklift fork extends into the jack 71 to fork up the wire reel 7, and the forklift transports the wire reel 7 to the next process.

[0058] S5. Repeat S1 - S4 until all the wire reels 7 are loaded.

[0059] This loading method can improve work efficiency. Especially in the production environment, it can reduce the matching requirements between the forklift and the wire reel 7, thus speeding up the operation process. Through the cooperation of the automatic angle adjustment and the lifting device 8, not only the operation accuracy is improved, but also the complexity and error of manual operation are reduced. This intelligent operation process not only makes the operation of the staff more convenient, but also ensures the stable transportation of the wire reel 7 during the production process.

[0060] Working principle: The second motor 81 drives the worm 82 to rotate, and the worm 82 drives the lead screw 83 to lift through the worm wheel, so that the lead screw 83 can drive the entire tabletop 5 and the rotating device 6 to lift during the lifting process. When the wire reel 7 at the top of the turntable 61 is lifted to the position where the jack 71 and the forklift fork are on the same plane, the first motor 66 drives the rotating shaft 65 to rotate, the rotating shaft 65 drives the second gear 64 to rotate, the second gear 64 drives the first gear 62 to rotate, and the turntable 61 connected to the first gear 62 rotates accordingly. When the wire reel 7 at the top of the turntable 61 rotates to match the forklift fork, the forklift drives the forklift fork to extend towards the wire reel 7 until the forklift fork extends into the jack 71 to fork up the wire reel 7, and the forklift transports the wire reel 7 to the next process.

[0061] The above-disclosed are only several specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
