Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of utility pole manufacturing equipment technology, specifically to an automated forming and manufacturing equipment and method for utility poles. Background Technology

[0002] As the core carrier of infrastructure such as power transmission and communication cabling, the quality of the construction of utility poles directly determines the stability and service life of the infrastructure.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN120287418A discloses a self-cleaning, anti-clogging cement pole pouring machine, including a storage silo. Below the storage silo is a filter assembly for filtering larger aggregates in the concrete. Inside the storage silo is a cleaning assembly that intermittently delivers concrete. The filter assembly drives the cleaning assembly to intermittently discharge concrete while simultaneously cleaning the inside of the storage silo. Through the rotation and vibration of the screen, larger aggregates in the concrete are vibrated and filtered, preventing them from getting stuck inside the pouring machine and affecting its normal operation. Furthermore, the oscillation of the baffles causes the concrete to intermittently fall into the screen, thereby improving the efficiency of the screen in vibrating and screening the concrete, further preventing clogging of the pouring machine.

[0004] Currently, in the concrete feeding process of utility pole molding, after the concrete is fed by semi-automated equipment, manual labor is required to fill any unevenly distributed areas. Manual feeding is labor-intensive, inefficient, and results in poor uniformity, easily leading to concrete piling and clumping. This can cause overflow during mold closing, affecting the molding accuracy of the utility pole. Furthermore, the feeding mechanism of semi-automated equipment tends to cause concrete stratification and accumulation during feeding, resulting in uneven internal density, cracks, and hollow areas, further reducing production efficiency and product qualification rate. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need for automated molding and manufacturing equipment that can achieve automated, uniform, and quantitative feeding, while improving the molding quality of utility poles. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an automated molding and manufacturing equipment and method for utility poles, which can effectively solve the problem mentioned in the background art where concrete material is prone to stratification and accumulation during material feeding, leading to concrete material overflow during mold closing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated forming and manufacturing equipment for utility poles, comprising an installation base, a mold for closing the mold, a steel cage for the mold, a feeding device for the installation base, the feeding device being located directly above the steel cage, and a dispersing and leveling mechanism and a gravity-driven flipping feeding mechanism for the feeding device; The feeding device includes a storage hopper and a discharge hopper, with the storage hopper located directly above the discharge hopper.

The leveling component includes a plurality of turning shafts that are rotatably disposed inside the feeding hopper. A plurality of turning plates are disposed on the outer surface of the turning shafts. The gravity-flipping feeding mechanism includes rotating plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding hopper, and a closing plate is fixedly arranged between the rotating plates.

[0007] Preferably, the feeding device further includes guide rails symmetrically and fixedly mounted on the mounting base, and mounting brackets are horizontally slidably mounted on the guide rails. The mounting brackets are fixedly connected to the storage hopper and the discharge hopper.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the storage funnel is provided with a continuous discharge port, which is aligned with the upper opening of the discharge funnel, and the bottom of the discharge funnel is provided with an intermittent discharge port, which is aligned with the top of the reinforcing cage.

[0009] Preferably, the dispersion component further includes a mounting plate fixedly mounted on a mounting bracket, a motor fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, an output shaft rotatably mounted on the motor, and an eccentric shaft fixedly mounted at the end of the output shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the dispersing component further includes fixed shaft seats disposed on both sides of the continuous feeding port, the fixed shaft seats being fixedly connected to the storage funnel, a rotating shaft being rotatably connected through the middle of the fixed shaft seats, the outer surface of the rotating shaft being fixedly connected to the dispersing feeding block, the dispersing feeding block being triangular in shape, a fixing strip being fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft, a through groove being provided on the fixing strip, and the inner wall of the through groove being slidably connected to the outer surface of the eccentric shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the leveling assembly further includes a drive sprocket, a symmetrical driven sprocket, and a reverse driven sprocket. The drive sprocket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the motor's output shaft, and the symmetrical driven sprocket is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft.

[0012] Preferably, there are three mixing shafts, which pass through the feeding hopper and are rotatably connected to it. The reverse driven sprocket is fixedly connected to the middle mixing shaft. The outer surfaces of the drive sprocket and the symmetrical driven sprocket are fitted with a drive chain. The reverse driven sprocket is located on one side outside the drive chain and is engaged with it.

[0013] Preferably, the stirring plates on the stirring shaft are arranged in an arc shape, and the stirring plates on the middle stirring shaft face opposite directions to the stirring plates on the two side stirring shafts.

[0014] Preferably, the gravity-flipping feeding mechanism further includes connecting shafts symmetrically and fixedly arranged on both sides of the feeding funnel. The connecting shafts are rotatably connected to the rotating plate. A torsion spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft between the rotating plate and the feeding funnel. A counterweight is fixedly installed on the closed plate that is fixedly connected between the rotating plates.

[0015] Preferably, a method of using an automated molding and manufacturing equipment for utility poles is applied to such an equipment, comprising the following steps: S1: Place the steel cage on the mold using the lifting equipment, slide the mold to the corresponding feeding position using the mounting base, and finally pour concrete into the storage funnel and start the equipment; S2: The concrete material in the storage hopper of the dispersion component is oscillated and dispersed into the discharge hopper to avoid the accumulation of concrete material during discharge; S3: The leveling component uses different directional mixing shafts and mixing plates to mix and level the concrete material, ensuring that the concrete material in the discharge hopper is in a flat state. S4: The closed plate in the gravity-flipping feeding mechanism flips after the material reaches a certain gravity, spreading the material evenly on the steel cage.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention achieves automated dispersion, leveling, and quantitative feeding of concrete through the coordinated operation of a feeding device, a dispersing and leveling mechanism, and a gravity-turning feeding mechanism. It eliminates the need for manual intervention in the feeding process, significantly reducing labor intensity, improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and avoiding errors caused by manual operation. This invention uses a motor in the dispersion component to drive the output shaft to rotate continuously while simultaneously driving the eccentric shaft to slide within the through groove of the fixed bar. This, in turn, causes the fixed bar and the rotating shaft to rotate reciprocally. The triangular dispersion and feeding block, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, swings back and forth synchronously, uniformly dispersing the concrete material in the storage hopper from the continuous feeding port and guiding it to different positions in the feeding hopper. This swinging dispersion feeding effectively avoids the problems of clumping and localized pile-up caused by concentrated accumulation of concrete material, ensuring that the material enters the feeding hopper uniformly. This invention utilizes the symmetrical driven sprockets and the reverse driven sprockets in the leveling assembly to rotate in different directions under the drive of the drive sprocket and drive chain, thereby driving the mixing plate to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction. The bidirectional rotating mixing plate is used to bidirectionally mix and compress the concrete material in the feeding hopper, quickly leveling the dispersed material and ensuring that the surface of the concrete material in the feeding hopper remains flat and of uniform height. This lays a solid foundation for subsequent intermittent quantitative feeding and avoids deviations in the feeding amount due to uneven material height. This invention utilizes a gravity-driven tilting feeding mechanism. When materials accumulate to a preset weight, the pressure exerted by the materials on the closing plate exceeds the sum of the elastic force of the torsion spring and the weight of the counterweight. This causes the closing plate to tilt around the connecting shaft, opening the intermittent feeding port at the bottom of the feeding hopper. Under gravity, concrete materials are evenly spread into the reinforcing cage below. As the material falls to a certain amount, the weight of the material in the feeding hopper decreases, reducing the pressure on the closing plate. The torsion spring, under its elastic restoring force, causes the closing plate to tilt and reset, closing the intermittent feeding port and completing one cycle of intermittent feeding.

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] Example: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for an automated molding manufacturing equipment for utility poles, including an installation base 1, a mold 101 is provided on the installation base 1, a steel cage 102 is provided on the mold 101, a feeding device 2 is provided on the installation base 1, the feeding device 2 is located directly above the steel cage 102, and the feeding device 2 is provided with a dispersing and leveling mechanism 3 and a gravity flipping feeding mechanism 4. In the above embodiment, the concrete material is dispersed and leveled quickly by the dispersing and leveling mechanism 3 set on the feeding device 2, and then the concrete material is intermittently and evenly laid into the steel cage 102 above the mold 101 by the gravity flipping feeding mechanism 4 at the bottom of the feeding device 2, so as to avoid the concrete material from piling up and causing the material to overflow when the mold is closed, and further avoid the waste of materials.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the feeding device 2 includes a storage hopper 203 and a discharge hopper 205. The storage hopper 203 is located directly above the discharge hopper 205. The feeding device 2 also includes a guide rail 201 symmetrically and fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1. A mounting bracket 202 is horizontally slidably mounted on the guide rail 201. The mounting bracket 202 is fixedly connected to the storage hopper 203 and the discharge hopper 205. The bottom of the storage hopper 203 is provided with a continuous discharge port 204, which is aligned with the upper opening of the discharge hopper 205. The bottom of the discharge hopper 205 is provided with an intermittent discharge port 206, which is aligned with the top of the reinforcing cage 102. In the above embodiment, the guide rail 201 and the mounting bracket 202 are connected by rollers to slide horizontally along the length of the reinforcing cage 102, so as to fully feed the reinforcing cage 102. At the same time, the continuous discharge port 204 of the storage hopper 203 continuously feeds the material to the discharge hopper 205. The intermittent discharge port 206 of the discharge hopper 205 cooperates with the gravity flipping discharge mechanism 4 to realize the intermittent quantitative discharge of concrete material, ensuring the uniformity of material feeding, avoiding excessive or insufficient local feeding, and thus avoiding the formation of small slopes due to material accumulation.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the dispersing and leveling mechanism 3 includes a dispersing component 301 and a leveling component 302. The dispersing component 301 includes a dispersing and feeding block 3017 rotatably disposed at the bottom of the storage hopper 203. The leveling component 302 includes a plurality of stirring shafts 3025 rotatably disposed in the feeding hopper 205. A plurality of stirring plates 3026 are provided on the outer surface of the stirring shafts 3025. In the above embodiments, the material can be quickly guided to different locations for feeding by the dispersing block 3017 in the dispersing component 301, avoiding material agglomeration and accumulation caused by concentrated feeding, and realizing dispersed feeding. While the turning shaft 3025 of the leveling component 302 rotates, it drives the turning plate 3026 to rotate synchronously, thereby turning and leveling the concrete material, ensuring that the material height is moderate and consistent, laying a solid foundation for subsequent uniform feeding.

[0023] Furthermore, the dispersion component 301 also includes a mounting plate 3011 fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 202, a motor 3012 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3011, an output shaft 3013 rotatably mounted on the motor 3012, and an eccentric shaft 3014 fixedly mounted at the end of the output shaft 3013. The dispersion assembly 301 also includes fixed shaft seats 3015 disposed on both sides of the continuous feed port 204. The fixed shaft seats 3015 are fixedly connected to the storage funnel 203. A rotating shaft 3016 is rotatably connected through the middle of the fixed shaft seats 3015. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 3016 is fixedly connected to the dispersion feed block 3017. The dispersion feed block 3017 is triangular in shape. A fixing strip 3018 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 3016. A through groove 3019 is opened on the fixing strip 3018. The inner wall of the through groove 3019 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the eccentric shaft 3014. In the above embodiment, after the motor 3012 is started, the output shaft 3013 rotates continuously, thereby driving the eccentrically fixed eccentric shaft 3014 to rotate synchronously. Since the eccentric shaft 3014 slides in the through groove 3019 of the fixed bar 3018, it can drive the fixed bar 3018 to reciprocate around the axis of the rotating shaft 3016 as the origin. By utilizing the shielding and guiding effect of the triangular structure of the dispersing block 3017, the concrete material is evenly dispersed, avoiding the material from accumulating in a single direction. At the same time, the reciprocating rotation can further break up the clumps of material and improve the dispersion effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the leveling assembly 302 also includes a drive sprocket 3021, a symmetrical driven sprocket 3022, and a reverse driven sprocket 3023. The drive sprocket 3021 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the output shaft 3013 of the motor 3012, and the symmetrical driven sprocket 3022 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 3025. There are three stirring shafts 3025, which pass through the feeding hopper 205 and are rotatably connected to it. The reverse driven sprocket 3023 is fixedly connected to the middle stirring shaft 3025. The outer surfaces of the drive sprocket 3021 and the symmetrical driven sprocket 3022 are fitted with drive chains 3024. The reverse driven sprocket 3023 is located on the outside of the drive chain 3024 and is engaged with it. The stirring plates 3026 on the stirring shafts 3025 are arc-shaped. The stirring plates 3026 on the middle stirring shaft 3025 and the stirring plates 3026 on the two side stirring shafts 3025 face opposite directions. In the above embodiment, the output shaft 3013 of the motor 3012 rotates, thereby driving the drive sprocket 3021 to rotate synchronously. The drive sprocket 3021 drives two driven sprockets to rotate synchronously in the same direction via the drive chain 3024, thereby driving the two side turning shafts 3025 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. At the same time, since the driven sprockets are located on the outside of the drive chain 3024, when the drive sprocket 3021 rotates, the drive chain 3024 drives the driven sprockets to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, thereby driving the middle turning shaft 3025 to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction. Since the middle turning shaft 3025 rotates in the opposite direction to the two side turning shafts 3025, and the turning plate 3026 is an arc-shaped structure facing in the opposite direction, the concrete material in the discharge hopper 205 can be turned and squeezed in both directions. This can quickly level the material and avoid material stratification, ensuring the uniformity of the concrete material and further improving the forming quality of the utility pole.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 5 to 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the gravity-flipping feeding mechanism 4 includes rotating plates 403 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding hopper 205, and a closing plate 404 is fixedly arranged between the rotating plates 403. The gravity-flipping feeding mechanism 4 also includes a connecting shaft 401 symmetrically and fixedly arranged on both sides of the feeding funnel 205. The connecting shaft 401 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 403. A torsion spring 402 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 401 between the rotating plate 403 and the feeding funnel 205. A counterweight 405 is fixedly installed on the closed plate 404 fixedly connected between the rotating plates 403. In the above embodiment, the elastic force of the torsion spring 402 and the gravity of the counterweight 405 can keep the closing plate 404 in a closed state under normal conditions, sealing the intermittent discharge port 206 of the discharge funnel 205 and preventing materials from falling randomly. When the concrete material in the discharge funnel 205 accumulates to a certain weight, the pressure of the material on the closing plate 404 is greater than the elastic force of the torsion spring 402 and the gravity of the counterweight 405, pushing the closing plate 404 to rotate around the connecting shaft 401, opening the intermittent discharge port 206 and realizing the material falling. When the material falls to a certain amount, the pressure decreases, the torsion spring 402 drives the closing plate 404 to reset, closing the intermittent discharge port 206, thereby realizing intermittent and quantitative material feeding and avoiding material accumulation. At the same time, the counterweight 405 can adjust the rotation threshold of the closing plate 404 to adapt to different usage requirements.

[0026] In summary, the method of using an automated molding and manufacturing equipment for utility poles, when applied to such equipment, includes the following steps: S1: Place the steel cage 102 on the mold 101 using the lifting equipment, slide the mold 101 to the corresponding feeding position using the mounting base 1, and finally pour concrete material into the storage funnel 203 and start the equipment. S2: The concrete material in the storage funnel 203 of the dispersion component 301 is oscillated and dispersed into the discharge funnel 205 to avoid the accumulation of concrete material during discharge; S3: The leveling component 302 uses the turning shaft 3025 with different directions and the turning plate 3026 to turn and level the concrete material, ensuring that the concrete material in the discharge hopper 205 is in a flat state. S4: The closed plate 404 in the gravity flipping feeding mechanism 4 flips after the material reaches a certain gravity, so that the material is evenly laid on the steel cage 102.

[0027] In the above steps, the various mechanisms work together. The decentralized leveling mechanism 3 solves the problem of concrete material clumping and accumulation, the gravity flipping feeding mechanism 4 realizes intermittent quantitative feeding, and the cooperation between the guide rail 201 and the mounting bracket 202 realizes comprehensive feeding. The three mechanisms work together to effectively avoid concrete overflow and material waste during mold closing. At the same time, it ensures that the concrete material is evenly laid in the steel cage 102, improving the forming quality and efficiency of the utility pole. The whole process does not require much manual intervention, realizing the automated operation of the utility pole forming feeding process, reducing the intensity of manual labor, reducing human operation errors, and adapting to the needs of large-scale and standardized utility pole production.

[0028] Based on all the above embodiments, the working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: Preparation before equipment start-up: Place the steel cage 102 on the mold 101 using the lifting equipment to ensure accurate positioning of the steel cage 102 and the mold 101 to avoid material deviation during subsequent feeding. Then, through the drive structure of the mounting base 1, slide the mold 101 carrying the steel cage 102 to the preset feeding position so that the axis of the steel cage 102 corresponds to the intermittent feeding port 206 of the feeding funnel 205. Finally, pour the preset amount of concrete material into the storage funnel 203. After checking that the connection of each part of the equipment is normal, start the power supply of the equipment to put each mechanism into the standby working state. The dispersing component 301 of the dispersing and leveling mechanism 3 disperses and discharges concrete materials in the following process: After the equipment is started, the dispersing component 301 begins to work. The motor 3012 drives the output shaft 3013 to rotate continuously while driving the eccentric shaft 3014 to slide in the through groove 3019 of the fixed bar 3018. This, in turn, drives the fixed bar 3018 and the rotating shaft 3016 to rotate back and forth. The triangular dispersing block 3017, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3016, swings back and forth synchronously, dispersing the concrete material in the storage hopper 203 evenly from the continuous discharge port 204 and guiding it to different positions in the discharge hopper 205. This swinging and dispersing process effectively avoids the problems of caking and local stacking caused by the concentrated accumulation of concrete material, ensuring that the material enters the discharge hopper 205 evenly. The leveling component 302 of the dispersing and leveling mechanism 3 levels the concrete material in the following process: The leveling component 302 works synchronously with the dispersing component 301. The output shaft 3013 of the motor 3012 drives the drive sprocket 3021 to rotate. The drive sprocket 3021 drives the symmetrical driven sprockets 3022 on both sides to rotate in the same direction through the drive chain 3024. This, in turn, drives the turning shafts 3025 and the arc-shaped turning plates 3026 on both sides to rotate in the same direction. At the same time, the drive chain 3024 drives the reverse-direction turning shafts in the middle to rotate in the same direction. The driven sprocket 3023 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the central mixing shaft 3025 and the arc-shaped mixing plate 3026 to rotate in the opposite direction to the two side mixing shafts 3025. The bidirectional rotating mixing plate 3026 is used to bidirectionally mix and compress the concrete material in the discharge hopper 205, quickly leveling the dispersed material and ensuring that the surface of the concrete material in the discharge hopper 205 remains flat and of uniform height. This lays a solid foundation for subsequent intermittent quantitative discharge and avoids deviations in the discharge amount due to uneven material height. The gravity-flipping feeding mechanism 4 operates by quantitatively discharging concrete material: The gravity-flipping feeding mechanism 4 is always in a ready-to-discharge state. The leveled concrete material gradually accumulates in the feeding hopper 205. When the material reaches a preset weight, the pressure of the material on the closing plate 404 exceeds the sum of the elastic force of the torsion spring 402 and the weight of the counterweight 405, causing the closing plate 404 to flip around the connecting shaft 401. This opens the intermittent discharge port 206 at the bottom of the feeding hopper 205, allowing the concrete material to be evenly distributed within the reinforcing cage 102 below under gravity. When the material falls to a certain amount... As the weight of the material in the feeding hopper 205 decreases, the pressure on the closing plate 404 also decreases. Under the action of the elastic restoring force, the torsion spring 402 drives the closing plate 404 to flip and reset, closing the intermittent feeding port 206 and completing one intermittent feeding cycle. At the same time, the mounting bracket 202 drives the storage hopper 203 and the feeding hopper 205 to move horizontally along the length of the reinforcing cage 102 along the guide rail 201, repeating the above-mentioned dispersion, leveling, and intermittent feeding process to achieve uniform feeding of the entire length of the reinforcing cage 102 until the concrete material in the reinforcing cage 102 is laid in place, completing the feeding process for the forming of the utility pole.
