Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chain production technology, and in particular to an automated chain packaging and weighing device and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of chain packing and weighing, I-beam wheel winding and packing technology is currently the mainstream standardized solution. This technology uses steel or wooden I-beam wheels as the load-bearing body, and the specially designed hub diameter and rim height ensure that the chain does not undergo plastic deformation or slippage during the winding process. The chain is wound layer by layer in a tightly arranged manner, with abrasion-resistant material placed between the layers. After winding, it is fixed and reinforced with steel strips or nylon mesh, and finally weighed as a whole using a weighbridge or platform scale.

[0003] When different amounts of chain need to be wound, different sizes of H-beams need to be replaced. However, existing automated winding systems cannot quickly replace H-beams and cannot wind different sizes of H-beams efficiently and with high quality. In addition, existing technology is static weighing, which relies heavily on manual operation, resulting in high labor costs and low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of large-scale production. At the same time, when the same H-beam needs to be wound with multiple segments or types of chains, existing technology cannot efficiently record the weight of each chain segment in real time.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automated chain packing and weighing device, comprising: The winding assembly 100 includes a straightening wheel 110 that translates in the Y direction and rotates about its axis. A winding assembly 200 is disposed on one side of the winding assembly 100. The winding assembly 200 includes a rotating component 210 and a clamping component 220. The rotating component 210 includes a rotatable rotating shaft 211. The clamping component 220 includes a telescopic shaft 221 that extends and retracts in the Y direction, a first positioning member 222, and a second positioning member 223. The first positioning member 222 is movably connected (e.g., rotatably connected) to the end of the telescopic shaft 221. In some embodiments, the first positioning member 222 is rotatably connected to the telescopic shaft 221 via a bearing. The first positioning member 222 and the second positioning member 223 are used to mount the I-beam wheel 500. The second positioning member 223 is disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 211. The second positioning member 223 has the same structure as the first positioning member 222. The telescopic shaft 221 extends out to clamp the I-beam wheel 500 between the telescopic shaft 221 and the rotating shaft 211.

[0028] A weighing assembly 300 is positioned below the chain conveyor assembly 200. The weighing assembly 300 includes a weighing platform 310, an inclined plate 320, and an adjusting plate 330. The weighing platform 310 moves up and down to support the I-beam wheel 500. The weighing platform 310 translates in the Y direction to remove the I-beam wheel 500 from the chain conveyor assembly 200. The inclined plate 320 is connected to the front end of the weighing platform 310, and the adjusting plate 330 is movably connected to the end of the weighing platform 310. The pitch angle of the adjusting plate 330 is adjustable to switch between weighing and unloading states. In the weighing state, the adjusting plate 330 and the inclined plate 320 form a V-groove to accommodate the I-beam wheel 500. In the unloading state, the adjusting plate 330 rotates to a horizontal position to unload the I-beam wheel 500. Packaging assembly 400 includes a packaging component 410 that moves in the Y direction; the packaging component 410 is located above the conveyor belt assembly 200.

[0029] This application also provides a chain packing and weighing method, which uses the automated chain packing and weighing device in any of the above embodiments for packing and weighing, and the steps are as follows: After passing through the straightening wheel 110, the chain is wound into the I-beam 500 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the I-beam 500. After the chain is wound on the I-beam 500, the weighing platform 310 rises until it contacts the lower surface of the I-beam 500 with the chain wound on it. The telescopic shaft 221 retracts, causing the clamping component 220 to disengage from the I-beam 500. The weighing platform 310 translates in the Y direction, causing the I-beam 500 to disengage from the rotating shaft 211. At this time, the I-beam 500 is completely disengaged from the chain winding assembly 200. Weighing platform 310 weighs the I-beam 500 with the chain wound on it; after weighing, the weighing platform can send the I-beam back to the winding state as needed to continue winding the chain. Each winding of the chain is weighed once, and the weight of each chain segment is recorded in real time; before the last weighing, the packaging component packages the chain; after the last weighing, the weighing platform 310 drives the I-beam 500 to descend to the target position; the adjusting plate 330 rotates to a horizontal state to unload the I-beam 500 with the chain wound on it.

[0030] Specifically, this application extends the clamping component 220 via the telescopic shaft 221, thereby clamping the I-beam 500 between the rotating shaft 211 and the telescopic shaft 221. When the I-beam 500 needs to be replaced, the weighing platform 310 rises until it contacts the lower surface of the I-beam 500 with the chain wound on it, and then the telescopic shaft 221 is retracted, causing one end of the I-beam 500 to disengage from the telescopic shaft 221. The weighing platform 310 moves along the Y direction to disengage the I-beam 500 from the rotating shaft 211. Thus, this embodiment clamps I-beams 500 of different specifications and types through the cooperation of the telescopic shaft 221 and the clamping component 220, and quickly removes the I-beam 500 through the cooperation of the telescopic shaft 221 and the weighing component 300. Therefore, this application can achieve automated and rapid replacement of the I-beam 500, thereby allowing for quick switching of the matching I-beam 500 according to chain length requirements, ensuring precise control of the chain winding, and improving production adaptability.

[0031] This application includes a weighing assembly 300 located below the conveyor belt assembly 200. The weighing platform 310 of the weighing assembly 300 can rise, allowing it to quickly contact the I-beam rollers 500 and support them. The weighing platform 310 can also descend, unloading the I-beam rollers 500 after weighing. The weighing platform 310 can translate in the Y direction, enabling the I-beam rollers 500 to be removed from the rotating shaft 211. Furthermore, when supporting the I-beam rollers 500, the weighing platform 310 ensures that I-beam rollers of different specifications are all positioned in the center of the platform, preventing uneven loading and improving weighing accuracy. Therefore, this application achieves automated dynamic weighing, ensuring weighing accuracy, improving efficiency, and reducing labor costs.

[0032] The straightening wheel 110 of this application can translate in the Y direction. This allows the chain to enter the H-beam 500 at an angle perpendicular to its axis when winding the chain around different sized H-beams 500, ensuring the chain is tightly wound layer by layer without loosening. The packaging component 400 of this application can also translate in the Y direction. After winding the chain around different sized H-beams 500, the packaging component 400 quickly aligns with and packages the chain, ensuring the packaging film is neatly and evenly wrapped around the chain-wound H-beams 500. Therefore, through the synergistic effect of the winding component 100 and the packaging component 400, this application can quickly wind and package chains for different sized H-beams, effectively avoiding chain winding and packaging film entanglement problems. This improves chain winding and packaging speed while ensuring stable finished product quality.

[0033] Furthermore, the pitch angle of the adjusting plate 330 in this application is adjustable, meaning the angle between the adjusting plate 330 and the tilting plate 320 can be adjusted, enabling switching between weighing and unloading states. In the weighing state, the V-groove can hold the packaged I-beams 500 in place, preventing displacement of the I-beams 500 during weighing and thus avoiding inaccurate weighing data. In the unloading state, the adjusting plate 330 is adjusted to near horizontal, while the tilting plate 320 maintains its original tilt angle, allowing the I-beams 500 to unload from the adjusting plate 330 under their own weight, effectively improving work efficiency and reducing resource consumption.

[0034] Furthermore, the first positioning member 222 has a conical structure; the two ends of the I-beam wheel 500 are provided with retaining rings 510, which are engaged with the conical structure. In some embodiments, the retaining rings 510 of different specifications of I-beam wheels 500 have the same size. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cooperation between the retaining rings 510 and the first positioning member 222 enables the I-beam wheel 500 to be quickly installed between the rotating shaft 211 and the telescopic shaft 221, and enables the clamping and fixing of I-beam wheels 500 of different specifications.

[0035] Furthermore, the packaging assembly 400 also includes a combing component 420 disposed directly below the packaging component 410; the combing component 420 includes two limiting blocks 421 that translate in the Y direction; the packaging film on the packaging component 410 is located between the two limiting blocks 421; the spacing between the two limiting blocks 421 is adjustable to accommodate packaging films of different widths. In some embodiments, the combing component 420 also includes a combing rod 422 connected to the packaging frame 430, the combing rod 422 extending in the Y direction. The limiting blocks 421 are slidably connected to the combing rod 422. In some possible embodiments, the limiting blocks 421 are sleeved on the combing rod 422, and the limiting blocks 421 are also provided with locking members 423, the locking members 423 fixing the limiting blocks 421 and the combing rod 422 together. When the position of the limiting block 421 needs to be adjusted, the locking member 423 disengages the limiting block 421 from the combing rod 422, then slides the limiting block 421 to adjust its position on the combing rod 422. Once in position, the locking member 423 locks the limiting block 421 and the combing rod 422 back together. In some embodiments, the locking member 423 is an annular clamp, which is fitted onto the combing rod 422. The annular clamp has an opening, and both sides of the opening are fixed with bolts. The annular clamp is fixed to the limiting block 421 with bolts.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, by using the sliding limiting block 421, the combing component 420 is positioned directly below the packing component 410, thereby combing the packing film coming out of the packing component 410 and preventing the packing film from tangling. In addition, since the two limiting blocks 421 are movable, the distance between the two limiting blocks 421 is adjustable, thus making it suitable for packing films of different widths (the width of the packing film is different for different specifications of I-beam rollers 500), thus increasing its applicability.

[0037] Furthermore, the packaging assembly 400 also includes a limiting guide 440 disposed directly below the packaging component 410; the limiting guide 440 includes two limiting guide rods 441 that translate in the Y direction, and the packaging film on the packaging component 410 is located between the two limiting guide rods 441; the spacing between the two limiting guide rods 441 is adjustable to accommodate packaging films of different widths. In some embodiments, the limiting guide rod 441 includes a limiting rod 442 connected to the packaging frame 430, and the limiting rod 442 extends in the Y direction. The limiting guide rod 441 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 442. In some possible embodiments, the limiting guide rod 441 is sleeved on the limiting rod 442, and the limiting guide rod 441 and the limiting rod 442 are detachably connected. When the packaging assembly 400 includes the combing component 420 and the limiting guide 440, the limiting guide 440 is located directly below the combing component 420.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, before the packaging film enters the I-beam 500, the limiting guide 440 can guide it, thereby ensuring that the packaging film is smoothly wound on the I-beam 500 with the chain wound around it.

[0039] Furthermore, the weighing assembly 300 also includes a lifting component 340; the front end of the adjusting plate 330 is hinged to the weighing platform 310, and the end of the adjusting plate 330 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting component 340; the lifting component 340 drives the adjusting plate 330 to swing up and down to switch between weighing and unloading states.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, a lifting component 340 is provided at the bottom of the lifting component 340, thereby causing the adjusting plate 330 to rotate and swing. This embodiment can quickly switch between the weighing state and the unloading state without affecting the weighing.

[0041] Furthermore, this application also includes a ramp channel 600 connected to the conveyor belt assembly 200; the angle of the adjusting plate 330 is adjusted so that the adjusting plate 330 rests on the ramp channel 600. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the angle of the adjusting plate 330 is adjusted to the unloading state (i.e., close to the horizontal state), the adjusting plate 330 rests on the ramp channel 600, thereby facilitating unloading by rolling down from the ramp channel 600.

[0042] Furthermore, in the Y direction, the adjusting plate 330 is provided with stops 331 at both ends.

[0043] Specifically, when the I-beam wheel 500 unloads material from the adjusting plate 330 to the ramp channel 600, the stop block 331 acts as a guide and limiter to prevent the I-beam wheel 500 from deviating from the adjusting plate 330 and the ramp channel 600 during unloading.

[0044] Furthermore, the weighing assembly 300 includes a weighing translation unit 350 for driving the weighing platform 310 to translate in the Y direction; the weighing translation unit 350 includes a telescopic cylinder disposed on one side of the chain conveyor assembly 200, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the weighing platform 310. Specifically, in this embodiment, the weighing platform 310 is driven to translate in the Y direction by the telescopic cylinder, which is stable and reliable in operation and has low cost.

[0045] Furthermore, the weighing assembly 300 also includes a weighing slider 360 disposed at the bottom of the weighing platform 310 and a weighing guide rail 370 connected to the chain conveyor assembly 200; the weighing guide rail 370 extends in the Y direction and cooperates with the weighing slider 360. Specifically, the cooperation between the weighing guide rail 370 and the weighing slider 360 guides the translation of the weighing platform 310 in the Y direction, making the operation more stable.

[0046] Furthermore, the weighing assembly 300 also includes a weighing lifting part 380 disposed between the weighing platform 310 and the weighing translation part 350, the weighing lifting part 380 being used to drive the weighing platform 310 to rise and fall. Specifically, in this embodiment, the weighing lifting part 380 is disposed between the weighing platform 310 and the weighing translation part 350, that is, both the weighing translation part 350 and the weighing lifting part 380 are horizontally arranged, which simplifies the structure in the height direction and does not affect the weighing of the weighing platform 310. In some embodiments, the weighing lifting part 380 includes a horizontally arranged lifting telescopic cylinder and a connecting rod; the lifting telescopic cylinder is connected to the chain frame of the chain assembly 200, the telescopic shaft 221 of the lifting telescopic cylinder is hinged to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the weighing platform 310.

[0047] Furthermore, the winding assembly 100 also includes a winding frame 120 and a winding translation component 130 connected to the winding frame 120; the winding translation component 130 includes a winding power component 131, a winding screw 132, a winding screw nut 133, and a winding translation base 134; the winding power component 131 is connected to the winding frame 120, and the output end of the winding power component 131 is connected to the winding screw 132; both ends of the winding screw 132 are rotatably connected to the winding frame 120; the winding screw nut 133 cooperates with the winding screw 132; the winding translation base 134 is connected to the winding screw nut 133, and the straightening wheel 110 is rotatably connected to the winding translation base 134. In some embodiments, the winding power component 131 is a motor. Specifically, in this embodiment, under the drive of the winding power component 131, the straightening wheel 110 is translated in the Y direction; its structure is simple and its operation is stable and reliable. In some other embodiments, the winding translation component 130 may also be other structures capable of translation, such as a telescopic cylinder.

[0048] Furthermore, the winding assembly 100 also includes a winding guide rail 135 and a winding guide slider 136; the winding guide rail 135 extends along the Y direction and is connected to the winding frame 120; the winding guide slider 136 is connected to the bottom of the winding translation base 134, and the winding guide slider 136 cooperates with the winding guide rail 135. Specifically, this application, through the cooperation of the winding guide rail 135 and the winding guide slider 136, makes the translation of the straightening wheel 110 more stable, reliable, and smoother.

[0049] Furthermore, the winding assembly 100 also includes two vertically arranged winding guide wheels 140; the winding guide wheels 140 are located in front of the straightening wheel 110; the winding guide wheels 140 rotate around their axes. Specifically, in this embodiment, the chain enters the winding guide wheels 140 before entering the straightening wheel 110, so that the winding guide wheels 140 can straighten and limit the chain before it enters the straightening wheel 110, ensuring that the chain can smoothly enter the straightening wheel 110.

[0050] Furthermore, the packing assembly 400 also includes a packing frame 430 and a packing translation component 450 connected to the packing frame 430; in some embodiments, the packing translation component 450 is located on the side of the packing frame 430 facing the chain assembly 200.

The packing screw 452 extends in the Y direction; both ends of the packing screw 452 are rotatably connected to the packing frame 430; the packing screw nut 453 cooperates with the packing screw 452; the packing base 454 is connected to the packing screw nut 453, and the packing component 410 is connected to the packing base 454. In some embodiments, the packing power component 451 is a motor. In some other embodiments, the winding translation component 130 can be other structures capable of translation, such as the packing translation component 450 being a telescopic cylinder.

[0051] Furthermore, the packaging assembly 400 also includes a packaging guide rail 460 and a packaging guide slider 470; the packaging guide rail 460 extends along the Y direction and is connected to the packaging frame 430; the packaging guide slider 470 is connected to the packaging base 454 and cooperates with the packaging guide rail 460. Specifically, this application, through the cooperation of the packaging guide rail 460 and the packaging guide slider 470, makes the translation of the packaging component 410 more stable, reliable, and smoother.

[0052] Furthermore, the rotating component 210 also includes a rotating power unit, the output end of which is connected to the rotating shaft 211. The rotating power unit is configured to drive the rotating shaft 211 and the I-beam wheel 500 to rotate in order to wind the chain. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating power unit (motor) provides power for the rotation of the I-beam wheel 500 to achieve the winding of the chain, which has a simple structure and low cost.

[0053] Furthermore, the clamping component 220 also includes a telescopic cylinder, the output end of which is connected to the telescopic shaft 221. Specifically, this embodiment achieves telescopic movement through the telescopic cylinder, thereby clamping I-beams 500 of different specifications, resulting in a compact structure and stable operation.

[0054] During chain winding, the winding translation component 130 drives the straightening wheel 110 to reciprocate along the Y direction, ensuring that the chain is always wound perpendicular to the axis of the I-beam 500. This effectively prevents the chain from tangling, ensuring that the chain is wound more tightly on the I-beam 500, avoiding chain loosening during long-distance transportation or in vibrating environments, and reducing transportation risks. In addition, it also improves work efficiency and the utilization rate of the I-beam 500.

[0055] The packing component 410 can move horizontally, so that when wrapping the chain with film for different sizes of H-beams 500, the packing film can be wrapped in the appropriate position, ensuring that the packing film wraps the chain flat and regularly.

[0056] After the chain is conveyed to the chain winding assembly 200 via the winding assembly 100, the chain winding assembly 200 automatically selects the matching I-beam spool 500 for chain winding. After winding, the packaging assembly 400 automatically bundles and packages the chain. Subsequently, the weighing system checks the weight of the packaged product; chains that pass the weight check are then shipped out. At this point, the system completes one full work cycle and automatically starts the next round of the standardized chain winding-packaging-weighing process.

[0057] In this application, the chain is wound into the I-beam 500 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the I-beam 500, and then the I-beam 500 with the chain wound is packaged with a packing film. This way, the chain will not loosen or the I-beam 500 will not deform during long-distance transportation or in a vibrating environment.

[0058] The system can automatically wind up, pack, and weigh the chain, forming a continuous production process and significantly improving operational efficiency.

[0059] From conveyor belt to weighing, this application achieves fully automated control, reducing manual intervention, minimizing operational errors, ensuring product consistency, and facilitating production management and quality traceability. The entire packaging and weighing process requires minimal manual operation, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0060] This application improves production efficiency while taking into account ease of operation and product reliability, and is suitable for high-precision, large-volume chain packaging needs.

[0061] In some other embodiments, the conveyor assembly 200 translates relative to the weighing assembly 300 in the Y direction. In some other embodiments, both the conveyor assembly 200 and the weighing assembly 300 are capable of translation in the Y direction.

[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
