[0048] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0049] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] The marine cable bracket (hereinafter referred to as cable bracket 7) is a rigid structural system used to support, fix and protect cables in the marine electrical system. The structure of the cable bracket 7 is as follows: Figure 15-16 As shown, it includes side flat steels 71 on both sides and multiple sets of support plates 72 in the middle. The side flat steels 71 have inner sides 713, and the support plates 72 have lugs 721, so that the side flat steels 71 and the multiple sets of support plates 72 can be connected by riveting.

[0051] At the same time, a platform 711 is provided at the upper end of the side flat steel 71, and a flange 712 is provided at the lower end of the side flat steel 71. Therefore, when the side flat steel 71 is riveted to the support plate 72, the support plate 72 cannot be moved from the upper and lower ends of the side flat steel 71 to the riveting position. The side flat steel 71 needs to be pushed horizontally so that the inner surface 713 is fitted with the lug 721 before the riveting operation can be carried out.

[0052] The overall processing process of the cable bracket 7 includes: sheet material cutting → punching → bending → grinding → galvanizing → sorting → riveting → shipping. In this application, the corresponding production line is set mainly for the process of sorting → riveting → shipping. Specifically:

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an automated production line for marine cable trays, including a feeding mechanism 1, which is used to transport a pallet 72. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding rack 11 set on the ground, and a first belt conveyor system is provided on the upper end of the feeding rack 11. The first belt conveyor system has a continuously driven feeding belt 12, and a plurality of groups of placement bars 13 are detachably provided on the feeding belt 12. The placement bars 13 are provided with grooves 131 that match the width of the pallet 72.

[0054] It should be noted that the placement bars 13 are arranged in pairs, each used to support the two ends of the support plate 72, and when the support plate 72 is placed on the placement bars 13, the inner side of the lug 721 contacts the end surface of the placement bar 13, thereby positioning the support plate 72;

[0055] At the same time, multiple groups of grooves 131 are provided, and the number of the grooves 131 is the same as the number of the supporting plates 72 on a single cable bracket 7, so that a group of supporting plates 72 can be transported at the same time;

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a conveying mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the feeding mechanism 1, and the conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey the pallet 72 to the splicing and riveting station. The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying frame 21 provided on one side of the feeding mechanism 1, and a conveying platform 22 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the conveying frame 21. Side frames 23 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the conveying platform 22. A chain conveying system is provided in the middle position of the two groups of side frames 23. The chain conveying system has a continuously driven conveyor belt 25, and a plurality of groups of support bars 24 are detachably provided on the conveyor belt 25. The support bars 24 are also arranged in groups, and the number of each group is the same as the number of grooves 131, so that each group of support bars 24 can fully carry the pallet 72 transferred on each group of placement bars 13;

[0057] In order to transfer the support plate 72 from the feeding mechanism 1 to the conveying mechanism 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, a retrieving mechanism 4 is provided on the conveying platform 22 near the feeding mechanism 1. The retrieving mechanism 4 includes two sets of retrieving racks 41 fixedly mounted on the conveying platform 22. A slide rail 42 is provided at the upper end of each set of retrieving racks 41. A slide 43 is slidably provided on the slide rail 42. The slide 43 is adapted to slide along the length direction of the slide rail 42.

[0058] In order to drive the slide 43 to move, a material-retrieving motor 44 is fixedly mounted on the slide 43. A gear 46 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the material-retrieving motor 44. At the same time, a rack 45 is fixedly provided on the material-retrieving frame 41. The rack 45 meshes with the gear 46. Thus, the material-retrieving motor 44 can be started to drive the gear 46 to rotate. Then, through the meshing action of the rack 45 and the gear 46, the slide 43 is driven to slide back and forth on the slide rail 42.

[0059] Continue to refer Figure 5-Figure 7 A material-taking cylinder 47 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the slide 43, a connecting frame 48 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the material-taking cylinder 47, a rotating cylinder 49 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 48, a horizontal frame 410 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotating cylinder 49, two groups of vertical frames 411 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the horizontal frame 410, and multiple groups of suction cups 412 are installed on the vertical frames 411, which are suitable for connecting to external negative pressure equipment;

[0060] Thus, when the pallet 72 is transported to the designated position under the drive of the placement bar 13, the pallet 72 is sucked up by the suction cup 412, and then the suction cup 412 is driven to the upper end of the conveying mechanism 2 by the movement of the slide 43, and then the pallet 72 is gently placed on the support bar 24;

[0061] It should be noted that the conveying direction of the feeding mechanism 1 is as follows: Figure 1As shown in the direction of the arrow, the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding mechanism 1, and the sliding direction of the slide 43 is the same as the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, so that the suction cup 412 can be at the upper end of the feeding mechanism 1 and moved to the upper end of the conveying mechanism 2, thereby transferring the pallet 72 on the placement bar 13 to the support bar 24 to prepare for subsequent production.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figures 8-10 As shown, a pushing mechanism 5 is provided on both sides of the conveying mechanism 2, and the pushing mechanism 5 is used to push the side flat steel 71 to both sides of the support plate 72 to complete the preliminary combination of the side flat steel 71 and the support plate 72;

[0063] The pushing mechanism 5 includes a pushing rack 51 fixedly mounted on the conveying platform 22, and a placement box 54 fixedly mounted on the pushing rack 51. The placement box 54 is used to place multiple sets of stacked side flat steels 71. At the same time, the upper end of the placement box 54 is open, so that the staff can place the stacked side flat steels 71 inside the placement box 54;

[0064] At the same time, a first bracket 52 is extended from one side of the placement box 54, and a first cylinder 53 is fixedly mounted on the first bracket 52. A first push plate 55 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first cylinder 53. A notch (not shown in the figure) is opened near the first push plate 55 in the placement box 54, so that the first push plate 55 can enter the interior of the placement box 54 through the notch under the drive of the first cylinder 53 and abut against the tail of the side flat steel 71 to push the side flat steel 71 for feeding operation when necessary;

[0065] Continue to refer Figures 8-10 A cover plate 541 is fixedly provided at a position of the placement box 54 away from the notch, a second cylinder 56 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate 541, and a push rod 57 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second cylinder 56. At the same time, a through slot 542 is provided on the placement box 54, and the push rod 57 is suitable for sliding in the through slot 542, so that the side flat steel 71 is suitable for reaching the position of the through slot 542 under the action of the first push plate 55, and then the side flat steel 71 at the through slot 542 is pushed out by the action of the push rod 57;

[0066] like Figure 9-10 As shown, a temporary storage box 59 is provided on one side of the through slot 542 leading out the side flat steel 71. The temporary storage box 59 is fixedly mounted on the pusher rack 51. The temporary storage box 59 has openings on three sides to facilitate the side flat steel 71 to enter the interior of the temporary storage box 59.

[0067] A second bracket 58 is provided extending from the temporary storage box 59. A third cylinder 510 is fixedly mounted on the second bracket 58. The output end of the third cylinder 510 passes through the temporary storage box 59 and is fixedly mounted with a second push plate 511. The second push plate 511 can be moved by the third cylinder 510 to push the side flat steel 71 toward the support plate 72 on the support bar 24.

[0068] In order to keep the side flat steel 71 stable when pushing, Figure 10 As shown, a bottom plate 512 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the second push plate 511. The upper surface of the bottom plate 512 is flush with the inner surface of the temporary storage box 59, so that the side flat steel 71 pushed out from the through slot 542 can overlap the upper surface of the bottom plate 512;

[0069] Meanwhile, a fourth cylinder 513 is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 512, and a top plate 514 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the fourth cylinder 513. Thus, the top plate 514 is adapted to move in the vertical direction under the drive of the fourth cylinder 513 and press against the upper surface of the side flat steel 71 at the lowest point to clamp the side flat steel 71.

[0070] Thus, the clamped and positioned side flat steel 71 can be pushed toward the support plate 72 on the support bar 24 by the second push plate 511 to form a preliminary fit and prepare for subsequent riveting;

[0071] In order to withdraw the second push plate 511, it is necessary to simply fix the side flat steel 71 and the support plate 72, such as Figure 11-12 As shown, a clamping assembly is provided on both sides of each set of support bars 24, and the clamping assembly includes a support frame 26 fixedly mounted on the side of the support bar 24, a pressing plate motor 27 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 26, and a pressing plate 28 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the pressing plate motor 27, so that the pressing plate 28 is suitable for rotating under the drive of the pressing plate motor 27, and when in a horizontal position, presses on the outer surface of the side flat steel 71 to compress the assembly of the side flat steel 71 and the support plate 72;

[0072] Then the top plate 514 retreats and cancels the clamping of the side flat steel 71 . At this time, the second push plate 511 can be withdrawn under the drive of the fourth cylinder 513 to facilitate the transportation of the next group of side flat steel 71 .

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 13-14As shown, a riveting mechanism 6 is provided on the conveying platform 22, and the riveting mechanism 6 is used to rivet the assembled side flat steel 71 and the supporting plate 72. The riveting mechanism 6 includes a riveting frame 61 fixedly mounted on the conveying platform 22, a first riveting cylinder 62 fixedly mounted on the riveting frame 61, and a slide 63 fixedly mounted on the output end of the first riveting cylinder 62. At the same time, a vertical guide rail 64 is fixedly mounted on the riveting frame 61, and the slide 63 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 64, so that the slide 63 is suitable for sliding vertically on the guide rail 64 under the drive of the first riveting cylinder 62 to adjust the position of the slide 63;

[0074] At the same time, a connecting column 65 is fixedly mounted on the slide 63. Two sets of brackets 66 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting column 65. The bottom of the bracket 66 has a U-shaped riveting space. It can be understood that when the connecting column 65 is adjusted to the appropriate position along with the slide 63, the position where the side flat steel 71 and the support plate 72 need to be riveted is exactly located within the riveting space.

[0075] A second riveting cylinder 67 is fixedly installed on one side of the riveting space, and a riveting head 68 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second riveting cylinder 67. At the same time, a holding plate 69 is provided on the other side of the riveting space, so that the riveting head 68 can cooperate with the holding plate 69 under the drive of the second riveting cylinder 67 to apply pressure to the positions on the side flat steel 71 and the supporting plate 72 where riveting is required, thereby achieving riveting.

[0076] In this embodiment, the side flat steel 71 and the support plate 72 are riveted together using a nail-free riveting technology, so that the riveting effect can be achieved by simply applying pressure.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, a discharge mechanism 3 is provided at the end of the conveying mechanism 2, and the discharge mechanism 3 is used to convey the riveted cable bracket 7 to the next process. The discharge mechanism 3 includes a discharge rack 31 provided at the end of the conveying mechanism 2, and a second belt conveyor system is provided at the upper end of the discharge rack 31. The second belt conveyor system has a continuously driven discharge belt 32, so that the cable bracket 7 is conveyed by the discharge belt 32;

[0078] In order to transfer the cable bracket 7 from the end of the conveying mechanism 2 to the discharge mechanism 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, a similar material taking mechanism 4 is provided at the end of the conveying mechanism 2, and the material taking mechanism 4 transfers the position of the cable bracket 7 through a suction cup 412;

[0079] It should be noted that the conveying direction of the discharge mechanism 3 is the same as that of the feeding mechanism 1, and when the cable bracket 7 is transferred to the discharge belt 32, the angle of the cable bracket 7 is adjusted by rotating the cylinder 49 to facilitate the placement of the cable bracket 7;

[0080] When the cable bracket 7 is separated from the conveying mechanism 2 , the pressing plate motor 27 drives the pressing plate 28 to rotate to loosen the clamping of the cable bracket 7 .

[0081] In this embodiment, a PLC control system is also provided, which is used to coordinate the collaborative work of various electrical components to better complete the tasks of the riveting production line.

[0082] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
