Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bamboo cage weaving, and particularly relates to a bamboo cage weaving machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bamboo industry in China is an ecological and economic green industry that combines tradition and innovation, and bamboo cage weaving is one of its distinctive and profound branches. Bamboo cage weaving is an important embodiment of the utilization of bamboo resources from material to handicraft, enriching the ecology of the bamboo industry and forming a complete value chain from raw materials to deep processing, such as bird cages, steaming cages, decorative bamboo cages, and many others made of bamboo strip weaving. Figure 2 As shown is a cylindrical bamboo cage (part) woven by bamboo strips, which includes warp strips and weft rings, the warp strips are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference, and a single weft strip is wound multiple times to form multiple weft rings and continuous links. The bamboo cage of this form has significantly improved firmness because each weft ring is a continuous link of a single weft strip. Figure 2 In the middle, each warp strip is inserted between the four weft rings formed by a single weft strip in an alternating manner, forming a cylindrical bamboo cage.

[0003] Traditionally, bamboo cages are mostly woven by hand, which is particularly labor-intensive and has low efficiency. The existing bamboo cage weaving machine can automatically complete the weaving of bamboo cages, but as mentioned above, it is designed for bamboo cages with separate weft rings and requires the weft strips to be processed into single weft rings, so it cannot weave bamboo cages with multiple weft rings in continuous links. There is a lack of continuous fiber interweaving and mechanical synergy between adjacent weft rings, and the connection between the weft ring and the warp strip relies only on local contact friction force, rather than the overall stress system formed by continuous links. When subjected to radial pressure, the load cannot be evenly distributed to the entire bamboo cage through the continuous structure, and stress concentration may occur at the link between the discrete weft rings. When the local stress exceeds the bending strength threshold of the bamboo strip, the connection between the weft ring and the warp strip may be disconnected, leading to the overall rupture of the bamboo cage and other failures. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a device that can automatically complete the weaving of bamboo cages and form continuous links with multiple weft rings woven by a single weft strip, to solve the problem of low efficiency of manual weaving of bamboo cages, and to solve the problem that the existing weaving process cannot meet the strength requirements of industrial bamboo cages.

[0033] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present application, the technical solutions and advantages clearer, the following will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

For a person of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] AsFigure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a bamboo cage weaving machine, which comprises a rack 10, a warp strip clamping mechanism 200, a weft strip conveying mechanism 30, a winding mechanism 40 and a weft ring pushing mechanism 50. As shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown, the woven bamboo cage 60 is composed of bamboo strips, which include warp strips 61 and weft strips 62. The rack 10 is used to support various mechanisms of the entire device. The warp strip clamping mechanism 200 is used to clamp and position the warp strip 61. The weft strip conveying mechanism 30 is used to continuously convey the weft strip 62 to the winding mechanism 40. The winding mechanism 40 is used to wind the weft strip 62 on the warp strip 61 to weave into the bamboo cage 60. The weft ring pushing mechanism 50 is used to push the weft strip 62 wound on the warp strip 61 along the first direction R1, i.e. along the direction of the warp strip 61, so that the warp strip 61 is finally wound and woven into the bamboo cage 60 by the weft ring 63 composed of several weft strips 62.

[0037] Please refer again to Figure 2 In this embodiment, nine warp strips 61 are provided, i.e. the woven bamboo cage 60 is composed of nine warp strips 61, and subsequent descriptions are based on this number. The warp strips 61 are equally spaced on a circumference, and the plane of the circumference is perpendicular to the first direction R1. The weft strip 62 is also long before weaving, and is processed into a plurality of weft rings 63 by the winding mechanism 40, which are spirally connected and continuous, and are wound on the circumference composed of various warp strips 61. In order to further improve the strength of the woven bamboo cage 60, in this embodiment, when each weft ring 63 is wound on each warp strip 61 in turn, one of the two adjacent warp strips 61 is located on the outside of the weft ring 63, and the other is located on the inside of the weft ring 63. Further, for each warp strip 61, the two adjacent weft rings 63 it passes through, one weft ring 63 is located on the outside of the warp strip 61, and the other weft ring 63 is located on the inside of the warp strip 61. Therefore, the woven bamboo cage 60 has higher strength and lower risk of fracture failure.

[0038] For this form of bamboo cage 60, the warp strip clamping mechanism 200, the weft strip conveying mechanism 30, the winding mechanism 40 and the weft ring pushing mechanism 50 need to cooperate to achieve the corresponding functions. As shown in the figure, Figure 3 As shown, the warp strip clamping mechanism 200 comprises a first clamping assembly 210, a second clamping assembly 220 and a third clamping assembly 230. Considering that the warp strip 61 remains long during the entire weaving process, in order to make the clamping and positioning of the warp strip 61 more reliable, at least two clamping assemblies are used to clamp and position two positions of the warp strip 61 in this embodiment, so that the warp strip 61 is clamped firmly. Considering that the warp strip 61 is provided with a plurality of warp strips and is equally spaced along the circumference, the three clamping assemblies are all arranged to be able to clamp all the warp strips 61 at the same time, so as to improve the clamping and positioning efficiency and simplify the overall structure.

[0039] Specifically, the first and second clamping assembly 210, 220 in the embodiment are provided with the same structure and are respectively located at two ends of the rack 10. The first clamping assembly 210 comprises a first clamping mounting frame 211, a first clamping seat 212, a clamping block 213 and a first telescopic cylinder 214. The first clamping mounting frame 211 is connected with the rack 10. The first clamping seat 212 is provided in a circular ring shape, the clamping block 213 is provided in a semicircular ring shape and a total of one pair, the first clamping seat 212 is connected with the first clamping mounting frame 211, the clamping block 213 is connected with the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 214, and the first telescopic cylinder 214 is connected with the first clamping mounting frame 211. The gap between the clamping block 213 and the first clamping seat 212 is the space for the warp strip 61, and when the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 214 is elongated, the warp strip 61 can be pressed and clamped, and when the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 214 is shortened, it is used for the feeding or release of the warp strip 61.

[0040] The second clamping assembly 220 has the same structure as the first clamping assembly 210, and the end of the rack 10 where the second clamping assembly 220 is located is provided with a first displacement module 70, and the second clamping mounting frame of the second clamping assembly 220 is connected with the first displacement module 70. The first displacement module 70 is used to drive the second clamping assembly 220 to move, so that the second clamping assembly 220 can exit the clamping of the warp strip 61, and the third clamping assembly 230 located between the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 can clamp the warp strip 61, thereby facilitating the winding operation of the winding mechanism 40.

[0041] Meanwhile, as shown in Figure 4 The third clamping assembly 230 comprises a third clamping mounting frame 231 and a plurality of clamping units provided on the third clamping mounting frame 231. The third clamping mounting frame 231 is connected with the rack 10, and the third clamping mounting frame 231 is also provided in a circular ring shape. The clamping units are arranged at equal intervals along the circular ring-shaped third clamping mounting frame 231 and correspond to the distribution of the warp strip 61 to be clamped. For example, in the embodiment, nine clamping units are provided, so that nine warp strips can be clamped at the same time. Of course, in other embodiments, other numbers of clamping units can also be provided. When the number is large, facing a small number of warp strips 61, part of the clamping units can be idle. The clamping unit specifically comprises a clamping plate 232, a mounting plate 233, a clamping motor 234 and a third telescopic cylinder 235. The clamping plate 232 is rotatably connected with the mounting plate 233, the clamping motor 234 (miniature) is arranged on the mounting plate 13 and is in transmission connection with the clamping plate 232, and can drive the clamping plate 232 to rotate. The mounting plate 13 is connected with the telescopic end of the third telescopic cylinder 235, and the third telescopic cylinder 235 is connected with the third clamping mounting frame 231.

[0042] It should be noted that the third telescopic air cylinder 235 is arranged along the radial direction of the third clamping mounting frame 231 in the embodiment. When the telescopic end of the third telescopic air cylinder 235 is extended, the mounting plate 233 can be moved to the center of the third clamping mounting frame 231, so that the mounting plate 233 and the clamping plate 232 are close to the position where the warp 61 is located. The clamping motor 234 drives the clamping plate 232 to rotate to a preset angle, so that the space between the clamping plate 232 and the mounting plate 233 is formed to clamp and position the warp 61. When it is needed to release, the clamping motor 234 drives the clamping plate 232 to rotate reversely until the warp 61 is no longer clamped, and the state switching is flexible.

[0043] Meanwhile, as shown in Figure 5 In the embodiment, the winding mechanism 40 includes a winding mounting frame 41, a winding motor 42, a main shaft 43, a winding shaft 44, a cam 45, and a cam control part. The winding mounting frame 41 is connected with the first displacement module 70. The winding motor 42 is connected with the winding mounting frame 41. The winding motor 42 is connected with the main shaft 43 through a transmission structure (transmission teeth, a speed reducer, etc.), and can drive the main shaft 43 to rotate. The winding shaft 44 is connected with the main shaft 43 through a connecting arm 46. When the main shaft 43 rotates, the winding shaft 44 can rotate relative to the main shaft 43, and the rotating radius is the length of the connecting arm 46 (when the connecting arm 46 is arranged along the radial direction of the main shaft 43). The end of the winding shaft 44 is provided with a connecting groove 47, which is used for inserting the end of the weft 62 to clamp the end of the weft 62. Specifically, the winding shaft 44 is a hollow shaft, and an inner shaft is further arranged in the hollow shaft. The inner shaft can rotate relative to the winding shaft 44. The end of the inner shaft extends out of the winding shaft 44 and rotates relative to the winding shaft 44 through a connecting seat and a clamping control air cylinder (the clamping control air cylinder is connected with the connecting arm 46). The winding shaft 44 and the inner shaft are both provided with the connecting groove 47. After the end of the weft 42 is inserted, the clamping control air cylinder drives the inner shaft to rotate relative to the winding shaft 44, so that the two connecting grooves 47 have a tendency to be misaligned, and the end of the weft 42 is clamped. The cam 45 is arranged on the winding shaft 44 through a shaft sleeve, and the shaft sleeve is rotationally connected with the winding shaft 44. Meanwhile, the cam 45 is close to the position where the connecting groove 47 is located.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the cam control part is a winding control cylinder 48, the telescopic end of the winding control cylinder 48 is connected (hinged) with the shaft sleeve of the cam 45, and the winding control cylinder 48 itself is connected with the connecting arm 46. When the winding control cylinder 48 is telescoped, it can drive the cam 45 to rotate a preset angle relative to the winding shaft 44, and the weft strip 62 is picked. When the cam 45 rotates from the original position to the first angle, the radial distance of the end of the cam 45 relative to the main shaft 43 becomes smaller; when the cam 45 rotates from the original position to the second angle, the radial distance of the end of the cam 45 relative to the main shaft 43 becomes larger; and in the original position, the radial distance of the end of the cam 45 is between the first angle and the second angle. By picking the weft strip 62 through the cam 45, when the cam 45 rotates from the original position to the first angle, the end of the cam 45 can contact the corresponding weft strip 62, so that the position of the weft strip 62 moves a small distance radially inward (the bamboo strip is deformed), so that the winding shaft 44 can pass from the radially outer side of the weft strip 62. After the winding shaft 44 rotates to the position of the next weft strip 62, the cam 45 directly rotates from the first angle to the second angle, the end of the cam 45 can contact the corresponding weft strip 62, so that the position of the weft strip 62 moves a small distance radially outward, so that the winding shaft 44 can pass from the radially inner side of the weft strip 42. Therefore, when the winding shaft 44 rotates one revolution relative to the main shaft 43, the end of the weft strip 62 that moves synchronously with the winding shaft 44 also rotates one revolution around the main shaft 43, and it successively and intermittently passes the inner side and the outer side of the weft strip 42 to form a weft ring 63. Then the winding shaft 44 drives the weft strip 62 to perform the next circular cycle.

[0045] It can be understood that in order to make the plurality of weft rings 63 continuous at the head and tail, the movement track of the end of the weft strip 62 needs to be a spiral line in space. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first displacement module 70 has two displacement degrees of freedom of the first direction R1 and the second direction R2, which can be used to drive the winding mechanism 40 to move slowly in the first direction R1, so that the movement track of the end of the weft strip 62 is a circular motion superimposed with a translational motion, thereby generating a spiral motion, and finally a plurality of weft rings 63 continuous at the head and tail can be formed on the warp strip 61 after a plurality of circular cycles. Further, when the number of warp strips 61 is odd, after the plurality of weft rings 63 continuous at the head and tail are wound on the warp strip 61, one of the two adjacent weft rings 63 on the same warp strip 61 is located on the inner side of the warp strip 61, and the other is located on the outer side of the warp strip 61, forming an interleaved form, further improving the firmness of the connection between the weft ring 63 and the warp strip 61 and the strength of the woven bamboo cage 60, and also can be more beautiful, etc.

[0046] Since the second clamping assembly 220 and the winding mechanism 40 are both connected to the first displacement module 70, the first displacement module 70 can drive the second clamping assembly 220 and the winding mechanism 40 to move along the second direction R2, thereby switching the second clamping assembly 220 or the winding mechanism 40 to align with the frame 10, and then drive the second clamping assembly 220 or the winding mechanism 40 to move along the first direction R1 to complete docking (or disengagement) with the warp strip 61, thus improving the orderliness of the operation.

[0047] It is understandable that the main shaft 43 of the winding mechanism 40 needs to correspond to the center position of the circumference formed by each warp strip 61, that is, the center position of the third clamp mounting bracket 231, so as to ensure that the winding shaft 44 can pass through the spatial positions of each warp strip 61 in sequence when rotating around the main shaft 43. As a preferred embodiment, the winding mechanism in this embodiment also includes a positioning wheel 49, which is connected to and coaxially arranged with the main shaft 43. It is used to contact the warp strips 61 to position the main shaft 43 at the center position of the circumference formed by each warp strip 61, thereby further improving the reliability of the operation.

[0048] In this embodiment, the weft sliver 62 is continuously conveyed by the weft sliver conveying mechanism 30. Preferably, the conveying rate is consistent with the tangential rate of the winding shaft 44 rotating relative to the main shaft 43. The connecting groove 47 engages to secure the end of the weft sliver 62, allowing the weft sliver 62 to smoothly form multiple continuously connected weft loops 63 and wind around the warp sliver 61 at a predetermined position without falling out of the connecting groove 47. Meanwhile, as... Figure 6 As shown, the weft conveying mechanism 30 includes a weft conveying module 31 and a weft conveying guide 32 connected to the weft conveying module 31. Considering the specific arrangement of the winding mechanism 40, both the weft conveying module 31 and the weft conveying guide 32 are arranged along the second direction R2, and the conveying direction of the weft 62 is also the second direction R2, so as to convey it in a direction tangential to the circumference of the warp 61. The weft conveying guide 32 is equipped with multiple guide rollers, one of which is connected to a conveying motor to drive the guide roller to rotate, thereby continuously conveying the incoming weft 62 to the winding mechanism 40. The weft conveying module 31 is used to adjust the position of the weft conveying guide 32 so that the weft conveying guide 32 is in the optimal position to guide the weft 62.

[0049] It can be understood that for a bamboo cage 60, the weft 62 still needs several to form the whole weft ring 63, so when the multiple weft rings 63 of one of the weft 62 are wound on the warp 61, the multiple weft rings 63 can be pushed to the position close to the first clamping assembly 210 along the warp 61 by the weft ring pushing mechanism 50, so that the third clamping assembly 230 can perform the winding operation of the next weft 61. When pushing, the third telescopic cylinder 235 of the third clamping assembly 230 can be retracted to leave space for the weft ring 63 pushing. At the same time, as shown in Figure 7 The pushing mechanism 50 includes a second displacement module 51, a clamping cylinder 52 connected with the second displacement module 51, and a clamping block 53 connected with the clamping cylinder 52. The clamping block 53 is arranged in a semicircular ring shape corresponding to the size of the weft ring 63, and the clamping block 53 and the clamping cylinder 52 are arranged in pairs for clamping the multiple weft rings 63 (of a single weft 62) on both sides. The second displacement module 51 is arranged on the rack 10 in the first direction R1, and is used to drive the clamping cylinder 52 to move in the first direction R1, so as to drive the weft ring 63 to move in the first direction R1, i.e. the warp 61, to the position close to the first clamping assembly 210. Subsequently, the weft ring 63 composed of each weft 62 is sequentially pushed by the weft ring pushing mechanism 50, until the preset position of the warp 61 is completely wound with the weft ring 63, and the bamboo cage 60 is woven.

[0050] It should be noted that the preset position of the winding installation frame 41 of the winding mechanism 40 is provided with a gap, so that part of the clamping block 53 and the clamping cylinder 52 can smoothly pass through the gap, and the weft ring 63 processed by the winding mechanism 40 is pushed to the position close to the first clamping assembly 210, avoiding obstruction.

[0051] In this embodiment, the discharge of the bamboo cage 60 woven on the rack 10 is performed by gravity. The third displacement module 80 is also arranged on the rack 10 in the first direction R1. The first clamping installation frame 211 of the first clamping assembly 210 is connected with the third displacement module 80, so that the third displacement module 80 can drive the first clamping assembly 210 to move in the first direction R1. When the weaving of the bamboo cage 60 is completed, the first clamping assembly 210 releases the warp 61, and then moves in the first direction R1 to make the warp 61 no longer supported by the first clamping assembly 210. At the same time, the third clamping assembly 230 no longer clamps the warp 61, that is, the third clamping installation frame 231 of the third clamping assembly 230 will support the end of the bamboo cage 60 to a certain extent, and the bamboo cage 60 can be tilted and discharged from the rack 10 under the action of gravity, and finally the discharged bamboo cage 60 can be collected.

[0052] In the embodiment, the first displacement module 70, the second displacement module 51, the third displacement module 80, the weft strip conveying module 31, etc. adopt the form of guide rail sliding block guidance and synchronous belt driving, and the structural details of these modules will not be described here. In other embodiments, screw driving, etc. can also be adopted, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select based on actual tests, costs, etc.

[0053] In summary, the bamboo cage braiding machine provided in the embodiment is used. In the initial state, the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 are aligned along the first direction R1. The warp strip 61 is first loaded onto the rack 10 and positioned by the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 (convenient for loading), and then the third clamping assembly 230 clamps the warp strip 61. The first displacement module 70 is switched to make the winding mechanism 40 interface with the warp strip 61. The weft strip conveying mechanism 30 conveys a certain length of weft strip 62 to the winding mechanism 40, and the winding mechanism 40 winds the weft strip 62 on the warp strip 61 to form a plurality of weft loops 63 in a spiral continuous connection. After the weft strip 62 forms a plurality of weft loops 63, the weft loop pushing mechanism 50 pushes the weft loops 63 in the direction of the first clamping assembly 210, and the winding mechanism 40 winds the next weft strip 62. In turn, until the preset position of the warp strip 61 is completely interlaced and wound by the weft loops 63. Finally, the first clamping assembly 210 and the third clamping assembly 230 release the weft strip 62, the third displacement module 80 drives the first clamping assembly 210 to move along the first direction R1, and the braided bamboo cage 60 falls from the rack 10 under the action of gravity. The bamboo cage 60 can be collected.
