[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of gabion mesh production equipment, and in particular relates to an automatic edge wire feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Gabion mesh cages are an essential material in dam construction. They secure the stones used in dam building, enhancing the dam's impact resistance and extending its service life. Gabion mesh cages play a crucial role in modern water conservancy projects and coastal protection projects. Currently, my country's annual consumption of gabion mesh is approximately 120 million square meters, indicating a huge market demand and reflecting the widespread application and indispensability of gabion mesh cages in infrastructure construction.

[0003] However, in the traditional production process, the gabion mesh edge-locking forming machine relies on manual wire feeding, which has the following problems: 1. High labor demand: 4-5 people are needed to operate it manually per shift, resulting in high labor costs; 2. High labor intensity: Manual wire feeding requires repeated handling and positioning, which can easily lead to fatigue; 3. Low production efficiency: Manual operation is slow and difficult to match the pace of automated production lines; 4. Poor safety: Close contact between workers and equipment can easily lead to mechanical injury accidents.

[0004] Therefore, developing an automatic edge wire feeding device that can replace manual labor is of great significance for improving the automation level of gabion mesh production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the problems of high labor costs, high labor intensity, low production efficiency and poor safety caused by the reliance on manual wire feeding in gabion mesh edge-locking forming machines, this invention proposes an automatic edge wire feeding device. The entire device is fixed at the front end of the feed inlet of the gabion mesh edge-locking forming machine, and uses a feeding wheel and a push plate to realize automatic edge wire feeding.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic edge wire feeding device, comprising a V-shaped base plate, a pair of end plates, a baffle, multiple feeding wheels, a main drive shaft, a first drive mechanism, a push plate, and a second drive mechanism; the V-shaped base plate includes an intersecting flat plate and an inclined plate, with a strip-shaped hole at the intersection of the flat plate and the inclined plate, and both ends of the V-shaped base plate are connected to the end plates; the baffle is connected to both ends of the end plates and is parallel to the inclined plates, forming a cuboid space with a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom, the width of the cuboid space being... The feed wheel is designed to accommodate the edge wires, matching their diameter. It is located below the cuboid space and tangent to the inclined plate. The feed wheel is mounted on the main drive shaft and has multiple U-shaped notches with widths matching the edge wire diameters. The main drive shaft is mounted on the end plate. Drive mechanism one drives the main drive shaft to rotate relative to the end plate, causing the multiple U-shaped notches on the feed wheel to pass sequentially through the discharge port. The push plate is slidably connected to the flat plate. Drive mechanism two is mounted on the end plate and drives the push plate to reciprocate towards the strip-shaped hole.

[0007] Furthermore, a bearing is provided on the end plate, and the main drive shaft is installed inside the bearing.

[0008] Furthermore, the main drive shaft has a split structure, which includes multiple axially alternating shaft segments and couplings.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor, a bracket, and a coupling. The motor is mounted on the bracket and connected to the main drive shaft via the coupling.

[0010] Furthermore, the second drive mechanism includes a pair of rotary cylinders and a pair of shift forks. The pair of rotary cylinders are respectively mounted on a pair of end plates. The shift forks are connected to the rotary cylinders. The push plate has notches at both ends that cooperate with the shift forks.

[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned automatic edge wire feeding device also includes multiple bearing seats, the bottom end of which is connected to a flat plate. The main drive shaft is installed inside the bearing seat, and the push plate has a notch that corresponds one-to-one with the bearing seat to avoid interference during reciprocating motion.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned automatic edge wire feeding device also includes a vibration motor, which is installed on the side of the inclined plate away from the flat plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the inclined plate is provided with multiple strip-shaped through holes, and the bottom end of the baffle is provided with multiple notches.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the automatic edge wire feeding device of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention proposes an automatic edge wire feeding device. The whole device is fixed at the front end of the feed inlet of the gabion mesh edge-locking forming machine, which replaces manual wire feeding, does not require special personnel to be on duty, reduces the need for 4-5 people per shift, reduces manpower input, avoids direct contact between manpower and equipment, and reduces the risk of mechanical injury.

[0015] 2. This invention proposes an automatic edge wire feeding device, which realizes continuous automatic edge wire feeding, matches the rhythm of automated production line, and improves production efficiency.

[0016] 3. This invention proposes an automatic edge wire feeding device. The mechanical structure ensures accurate edge wire positioning, guarantees feeding precision, and improves the quality stability of subsequent edge-locking processes.

[0017] 4. The main drive shaft of the present invention is a split structure. In the production of gabion mesh, there are various sizes and specifications, and some edge wires are relatively long. Therefore, the main drive shaft is required to have a certain length.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, and the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0020] I. Specific Implementation Method 1, referring to Figures 1-13, describes an automatic edge wire feeding device of the present invention, fixed at the front end of the feed inlet of a gabion mesh edge-locking forming machine. It includes a V-shaped base plate 1, a pair of end plates 2, a baffle 3, multiple feeding wheels 4, a main drive shaft 5, a first drive mechanism 6, a push plate 7, and a second drive mechanism 8. Referring to Figure 6, the V-shaped base plate 1 includes an intersecting flat plate 11 and an inclined plate 12. A strip-shaped hole 13 is provided at the intersection of the flat plate 11 and the inclined plate 12 for feeding. The length of the strip-shaped hole 13 is greater than the length of the edge wire S. Both ends of the V-shaped base plate 1 are connected to the end plates 2. The baffle 3 is bolted to both ends of the end plates 2 and is parallel to the inclined plate 12, forming a cuboid space with a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom. The width of the cuboid space is... The edge wire S has a matching diameter to accommodate it. The edge wire S is arranged sequentially along the height of the cuboid space. The feeding wheel 4 is located below the cuboid space and is tangent to the inclined plate 12. The feeding wheel 4 is mounted on the main drive shaft 5 and has multiple U-shaped notches 41 with a width matching the diameter of the edge wire S in the circumferential direction. The main drive shaft 5 is mounted on the end plate 2. The first drive mechanism 6 can drive the main drive shaft 5 to rotate relative to the end plate 2, causing the multiple U-shaped notches 41 on the feeding wheel 4 to pass through the discharge port in sequence. Referring to Figure 3, the push plate 7 is slidably connected to the flat plate 11. The second drive mechanism 8 is mounted on the end plate 2 and can drive the push plate 7 to reciprocate towards the strip hole 13, pushing the edge wire S pushed out by the feeding wheel 4 through the strip hole 13 into the gabion mesh edge locking machine.

[0021] The end plate 2 is provided with a bearing 21, and the main drive shaft 5 is installed in the bearing 21. The bearing 21 is installed at the shaft end to reduce rotational resistance.

[0022] Referring to Figure 7, the main drive shaft 5 is a split structure, which includes multiple axially alternating shaft segments 51 and coupling 2 52. The side thread S is relatively long, so the main drive shaft 5 is required to have a certain length. The processing cost of long shafts is too high. Therefore, coupling 2 52 is used to connect multiple shaft segments 51 with the same diameter to reduce processing costs.

[0023] Referring to Figure 8, the drive mechanism 6 includes a motor 61, a bracket 62, and a coupling 63. The motor 61 is mounted on the bracket 62 and connected to the main drive shaft 5 through the coupling 63.

[0024] Referring to Figure 4, the drive mechanism 8 includes a pair of rotary cylinders 81 and a pair of shift forks 82. The pair of rotary cylinders 81 are respectively mounted on a pair of end plates 2. The shift forks 82 are connected to the rotary cylinders 81. The push plate 7 has notches 71 at both ends that cooperate with the shift forks 82. The air source pressure of the rotary cylinders 81 is 0.6-0.8 MPa.

[0025] Referring to Figure 2, the automatic edge wire feeding device of the present invention also includes multiple bearing seats 9. The bottom end of the bearing seat 9 is connected to the plate 11. The main drive shaft 5 is installed in the bearing seat 9. The push plate 7 is provided with notches 72 corresponding to the bearing seats 9 to avoid interference during reciprocating motion.

[0026] Referring to Figures 9 and 10, the automatic edge wire feeding device of the present invention further includes a vibration motor 10, which is installed on the side of the inclined plate 12 away from the flat plate 11 to promote the uniform falling of the edge wire S and avoid the edge wire S from getting stuck, causing the machine to stop for adjustment and affecting the production rhythm.

[0027] The inclined plate 12 is provided with multiple strip-shaped through holes, and the bottom end of the baffle 3 is provided with multiple notches, which are used to observe the state of the edge wires S in the cuboid space.

[0028] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The automatic edge wire feeding device described in this invention is fixed to the front end of the feed inlet of the gabion mesh edge-locking forming machine by bolts. During the debugging stage, the device position needs to be calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the edge wire S pushing path; the smoothness of the rotation of the feeding wheel 4 and the movement of the fork 82 is tested to ensure that there is no jamming or obstruction. Before production, the amount of edge wire S in the cuboid space is checked to confirm that the power supply of the motor 61 and the air supply of the rotary cylinder 81 are normal. Referring to Figure 11, initially, the feeding wheel 4 is tangent to the inclined plate 12 to limit the edge wire S. After the device is started, the motor 61 drives the main drive shaft 5 to rotate through the coupling 63, which in turn drives the feeding wheel 4 to rotate. Referring to Figure 12, when the U-shaped notch 41 on the feeding wheel 4 moves to the discharge port below the cuboid space, the edge wire S falls into the U-shaped notch 41. Because the width of the U-shaped notch 41 matches the edge wire S, only one wire will fall. Edge wire S; the feeding wheel 4 continues to rotate, see Figure 13, the feeding wheel 4 is tangent to the inclined plate 12 again, limiting the edge wire S, while the edge wire S in the U-shaped notch 41 falls onto the flat plate 11 in front of the push plate 7. The rotary cylinder 81 drives the shift fork 82 to push the push plate 7, feeding the edge wire S through the strip hole 13 into the feed port of the gabion mesh edge locking machine. After completion, the rotary cylinder 81 drives the shift fork 82 to push the push plate 7 to reset, and repeats the above process to realize automatic feeding of edge wire.

[0029] During operation, operators can monitor the equipment's operating status in real time through the production line's control system and shut down the machine in case of any abnormalities. Before each day's production, impurities in the cuboid space are cleaned, and the wear of the feeding wheel 4 is checked. Lubricating oil is added to the bearing 21, bearing seat 9, and shift fork 82 periodically, and the sealing performance and air supply stability of the rotary cylinder 81 are checked. Monthly, the relative position of the feeding wheel 4 with the cuboid space and the inclined plate 12 is checked, the connecting bolts of all components are tightened, and the insulation performance of the motor 61 is tested to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are merely illustrative of the invention. These embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the invention to the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. These embodiments are selected and specifically described in this specification to better explain the principles and practical applications of the invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the invention.
