Detailed Implementation

[0030] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0031] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used are commercially available. Unless otherwise specified, the equipment used in the experiments is well known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] This application discloses an automatic roll core picking and collecting device, which is suitable for the aluminum foil paper changing operation of the YB416 hard box packaging machine. It can automatically complete the alignment picking, stable conveying, centralized collection and full material warning of empty roll cores, replacing the traditional manual operation mode. It is compatible with the existing equipment structure, has strong versatility and high operational stability.

[0033] The device of this invention specifically includes a frame 1, a chain slider guide mechanism 2, a roll picking slider device 3, a roll receiving slider device 4, and a roll collecting device 5. During production, when the paper quantity measuring linkage 10 detects that the remaining paper quantity of the used roll 9 has reached the pre-defined minimum position of the roll, it actively cuts off the supply of the used roll and activates the spare roll to continue production. After the spare roll is activated, the rotating disk 8 receives a signal from the PLC and rotates clockwise, moving the spare roll to the used roll position for continuous production. Simultaneously, the remaining roll core is transferred to the waiting-to-be-loaded area as the disk rotates. When the roll core reaches the waiting-to-be-loaded position, the roll support fixing frame 7 retracts, and the roll core 6 loosens. At this point, the novel automatic roll core picking and collection device based on chain slider guide transmission of this invention begins operation. The following is a detailed description:

[0034] The frame 1, serving as the supporting foundation of the entire device, is welded from high-strength steel, providing a stable and robust support structure for various mechanisms and devices. This ensures that each component maintains a precise relative position during operation, guaranteeing the smooth operation of the mechanical system. The frame 1 includes a main body 11, which is an integral frame structure with high rigidity and strength, minimizing operational vibration. The main body 11 has a regular shape, and its inner side is equipped with lower annular guide rails 12 and upper annular guide rails 13 with different radii. The two annular guide rails cooperate to form a closed-loop motion trajectory, working in conjunction with the chain and rolling bearings. When the chain is driven by the driving force, the rolling bearings roll smoothly along the grooves of the annular guide rails, achieving efficient power transmission and precise movement of related components. This provides precise guidance for the motion and meets the requirements of continuous cyclic movement of the slider. Anchor bolts 14 are installed at the bottom of the frame 1, enabling horizontal fixation (connection to the ground) and fine-tuning of the height, ensuring the operational accuracy of the equipment.

[0035] The chain-slider guide mechanism 2, as a key component of the precision transmission system, mainly comprises: a servo motor 21, a sprocket 22, a chain 23, a picking base slider 24, and a receiving base slider 25. The servo motor 21 is fixedly mounted on the side of the frame 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the sprocket 22 (rigidly connected using a flat key). The sprocket 22 and the chain 23 mesh with each other. When the servo motor 21 is powered on, based on the torque transmission characteristics of the key connection, it drives the sprocket 22 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the chain 23 to perform cyclical reciprocating motion according to the chain drive principle. In other words, the servo motor 21 precisely controls the start, stop, and uniform speed operation of the chain 23.

[0036] The two sets of movable joints of the chain 23 are respectively fixedly assembled with the picking base slider 24 via the first pin 244 and the first chain clip 245, and the receiving base slider 25 is fixedly assembled via the second pin 254 and the second chain clip 255. Both the picking base slider 24 and the receiving base slider 25 adopt a semi-T-shaped structure, which has high structural strength and good adaptability. The picking base slider 24 has a connecting rod 242 on its back and is equipped with a first rolling bearing 243, and the receiving base slider 25 has a connecting rod 252 on its back and is equipped with a second rolling bearing 253. The first rolling bearing 243 and the second rolling bearing 253 are respectively embedded in the grooves of the upper and lower annular guide rails, which can effectively reduce sliding friction and ensure that the two base sliders move smoothly and accurately without deviation or jamming when they circulate with the chain 23.

[0037] In other words, at the joint formed by the second pin 254 and the outer chain plate of the chain 23, the second slider 251 is securely connected by the second chain clip 255, allowing the receiving base slider to closely follow the movement trajectory of the chain and achieve synchronous reciprocating motion. The second connecting rod 252 is welded to the back of the second slider 251, and a second rolling bearing 253 is fitted to the tail of the second connecting rod 252. The second rolling bearing 253 is precisely embedded in the groove of the annular guide rail and moves along the trajectory under the traction of the chain 23, achieving high-precision guidance and stable displacement output through rolling friction. The picking base slider 24 is also connected to the chain 23 via the first pin 244 and the first chain clip 245, and achieves synchronous guiding motion in the same direction with the help of the first connecting rod 242 and the first rolling bearing 243.

[0038] When the drum core 6 rotates to the loading position, the cylinder of the drum support bracket 7 retracts, and the drum core 6 loosens. At this time, the servo motor 21 starts to drive the sprocket 22 to drive the chain 23 to move along the circular guide rail. The drum picking slider mechanism and the drum receiving slider mechanism on the chain rotate together with the chain.

[0039] The drum picking slider device 3, which is the core picking execution structure, moves synchronously with the picking base slider 24. It includes a telescopic cylinder 32, a fork base 33, and a concave fork 34. The telescopic cylinder 32 is rigidly connected and fixed to the picking base slider 24 by a high-strength first screw 31. The concave fork 34 is rigidly fixed to the fork base 33. The bottom of the fork base 33 is fastened to the top of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 32. The structure is stable and the force is evenly distributed, which can stably pick up the drum core 6 on the drum support fixing frame 7.

[0040] The concave fork 34 adopts an inwardly concave arc structure, which can precisely engage with the end slot of the drum core 6, ensuring uniform force and preventing slippage during the extraction process. The drum extraction slider device 3 is equipped with multiple control sensors. Among them, the first proximity sensor 36 is installed on the side of the fork base 33 to detect the position of the concave fork 34 in real time. The first position sensor 35, the second position sensor 37, and the second proximity sensor 38 are all fixed to the corresponding preset positions on the guide rail of the frame 1. The first position sensor 35 corresponds to the position where the drum core 6 is to be extracted and is used to detect that the extraction base slider 24 has moved into place. The second position sensor 37 corresponds to the position where the drum core 6 is extracted and is used to detect that the drum core 6 has completely detached from the drum support fixing frame 7. The second proximity sensor 38 corresponds to the initial standby position of the equipment and is used to detect that the extraction base slider 24 has reset and returned to its original position, determining that the device has entered the standby state. Each group of sensors is electrically connected to the equipment control system and triggers start and stop signals step by step to achieve precise time-sequential control of the entire process of extraction, detachment, and reset.

[0041] During operation, the drum picking slider device 3 starts from the initial position of the lower annular guide rail and moves at a constant speed along the guide rail to the rear end face of the drum core 6 driven by the chain 23. This triggers the first position sensor 35 to stop the chain drive system and start the telescopic cylinder 32. Subsequently, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 32 slowly extends, pushing the shift fork base 33 to drive the concave shift fork 34 to rise and engage with the support frame slot (the first proximity sensor 36 detects the position signal). At the same time, the chain drive system starts again, driving the device to move along the drum core discharge trajectory. Under the combined action of the shift fork thrust and the guide rail movement, the drum core 6 smoothly disengages from the drum support fixing frame 7. Finally, when the second position sensor 37 detects the drum core disengagement signal, the cylinder piston rod drives the shift fork to quickly retract.

[0042] A square telescopic cylinder 32 is rigidly fixed to the top surface of the base slider, allowing it to move with the slider and stably drive the piston rod to extend and retract. A concave shift fork is fixed to the top of the cylinder piston rod, reliably enabling extension and retrieval actions. Position sensors and proximity sensors work together to precisely control the chain movement, the extension and retraction of the cylinder piston rod, and the retrieval action of the shift fork. This allows the mechanism to accurately move from its initial position to the rear end face of the roll core, causing the shift fork to engage with the support frame slot, smoothly detaching the aluminum foil roll core from the roll support bracket, and finally quickly retracting the cylinder piston rod after the roll core is detached. The entire process is orderly and precise. During the roll core retrieval process, the shift fork's thrust and the guide rail's movement work together to ensure the roll core smoothly detaches from the cylindrical support bracket. This multi-component collaborative approach innovatively solves the instability problem that may occur during roll core detachment, improving production reliability and stability. The cylinder-driven shift fork automatically retrieves the roll core from the cylindrical bracket of the large disc roll core, reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency.

[0043] The roll receiving slider device 4 includes a roll stepped clamp 43 and a clamp base 42, which are connected by welding. The clamp base 42 is rigidly connected to the receiving base slider 25 by a second screw 41. The clamp base 42 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the receiving base slider 25, and the roll stepped clamp 43 is fixedly mounted on the top of the clamp base 42. The roll stepped clamp 43 adopts a multi-stage tapered umbrella-shaped structure and has a gravity self-calibration function. During the fall of the roll core 6, it can automatically correct the material posture, achieve self-centering bottom support, and effectively avoid the roll core 6 falling off-center or scattering. The roll receiving slider device 4 moves synchronously with the receiving base slider 25.

[0044] During operation, after the chain 23 drive system is restarted for the second time, the drum picking slider device 3, according to the preset action logic, uses picking force to pull the drum core 6 away from the fixed frame. When the drum core 6 detaches from the drum support fixed frame 7 and enters the falling state, the gravity-induced self-calibration mechanism automatically adjusts the posture of the drum core in the falling path to ensure that its axis is precisely aligned with the center of the drum stepped clamp 43, thereby automatically and accurately falling into the drum stepped clamp 43 and into the clamp base 42 for stable positioning. Subsequently, under the continuous power drive provided by the motor, the chain drives the entire drum core receiving slider mechanism to continue moving along the predetermined trajectory. When the mechanism moves to the rightmost extreme position of the device, the drum core in the clamp overcomes the slight friction and adsorption forces between itself and the clamp under the action of gravity, and falls naturally and smoothly into the collection box.

[0045] After the drum receiving slider device transports the drum core into the collecting device, the drum receiving slider device and the drum picking slider device continue to move along the circular guide rail with the chain. When the drum picking slider device moves to the position below the track, it triggers the second proximity sensor 38, and the chain drive system stops moving. This completes the entire process of drum core picking, conveying and recycling.

[0046] The drum receiving slider device 4 employs a unique combination structure of a semi-T-shaped base slider and a multi-stage tapered umbrella-shaped drum core stepped clamp. The base slider is secured to the chain via a chain clip, and its back rolling bearing is embedded in a ring guide rail, allowing the entire device to move stably with the chain. When the drum core falls into the multi-stage tapered umbrella-shaped clamp, the gravity-induced self-calibration mechanism causes the drum core to continuously fine-tune its posture during its descent, achieving a precise self-centering effect, improving clamping efficiency and accuracy, and thus ensuring the stable placement of the drum core in the clamp. When the mechanism moves to the rightmost extreme position of the device, the drum core in the clamp, under the action of gravity, successfully overcomes the slight friction and adsorption forces between itself and the clamp, naturally and smoothly falling into the drum collecting device, realizing the automatic collection process of the drum core, improving work efficiency, and simplifying the operation process. The multi-stage tapered umbrella-shaped clamp can accommodate cores of different diameters. Combined with chain drive, it can be used in different production processes and core conveying conditions of different specifications, and has strong versatility and adaptability.

[0047] The roll collection device 5 includes a semi-T-shaped collection box 51, a high-precision sensor 52, and a turning belt 53. The semi-T-shaped collection box 51 is divided into a collection box head 511, a collection box turning section 512, and a collection box tail 513, forming a semi-T-shaped structure with a compact design and regular storage space. The collection box head 511 has a smooth inclined surface to facilitate the smooth rolling of the roll core 6. The collection box turning section 512 is equipped with a turning belt 53, and the surface of the turning belt 53 is evenly provided with turning belt buckles 531, which can position and clamp the rolling roll core 6 to prevent slippage during conveying.

[0048] The high-precision sensor 52 includes a first proximity sensor 521 (located at the head of the housing), a second proximity sensor 522 (located at the tail), and a counting sensor 523. The first proximity sensor 521 is used to detect the falling signal of the drum core 6 and start the turning belt 53. The second proximity sensor 522 is used to detect that the drum core 6 has been delivered to the correct position and to stop the belt operation. The counting sensor 523 counts the number of drum cores 6 collected in real time. When the material is full, an audible and visual alarm is automatically triggered to remind the staff to clean it in time and avoid material blockage and machine shutdown.

[0049] During operation, the roll receiving slider device 4 precisely transports the roll core to the top of the head 511 of the semi-T collection box. Under gravity, the roll core 6 falls freely to the head of the box below. After falling, the roll core 6 continues to roll smoothly down the slope to the turning point. When the first proximity sensor 521 detects the falling roll core 6, it immediately sends a signal, triggering the turning belt 53 installed at the turning part 512 of the box to start. After reaching the turning point, the roll core 6 rolls onto the turning belt due to inertia. The evenly distributed turning belt buckles 531 on the belt quickly restrict the position of the roll core, completing precise positioning. Simultaneously, the turning belt, made of wear-resistant and tensile-resistant rubber with a specially treated surface, rotates the roll core 90° clockwise at a stable speed, continuously transporting it to the tail 513 of the collection box. The tail 513 of the collection box is the final storage area, with a large space capable of storing a large number of roll cores in an orderly manner. Secondly, when the second proximity sensor 522 detects the passing of the drum core, it triggers the turning belt at the turning point of the housing to stop. In addition, a counting sensor 523 is also installed at the tail to monitor the number of drum cores. Once the stored quantity exceeds a preset threshold, the counting sensor immediately triggers the alarm system, emitting a loud audible and visual alarm to remind staff to deal with the situation in time and prevent equipment failure or safety issues caused by excessive storage of drum cores.

[0050] Once the roll core on the roll support frame is completely retracted, pressing the feeding button activates the feeding lever 112. Receiving the signal, the feeding lever 112 picks up the spare aluminum foil roll from the roll paper clamp frame 111 and rotates counter-clockwise to the feeding area. The retraction pressure cylinder then pushes the spare roll into the roll support frame 7, completing the feeding process. When the paper quantity measuring linkage 10 detects that the remaining paper quantity of the used roll 9 has reached its minimum position, the spare roll is restarted for continued production. This cycle repeats continuously to ensure a steady supply of materials for the packaging machine's ongoing production.

[0051] The spool core collecting device of this application consists of a head section, a turning section, and a tail section, each with a clear division of labor and coordinated operation. The sloping design of the head section facilitates the spool cores rolling down under gravity. The turning section precisely installs a turning belt to redirect the spool cores. The tail section, with its large storage space, can systematically store a large number of spool cores. The overall structure is compact and efficient, ensuring a smooth collection process. The turning belt is made of wear-resistant and tensile-resistant rubber with a special surface treatment to enhance friction and ensure stable transport. The turning belt buckle accurately positions the spool cores that have fallen onto the belt, then stably rotates them 90° clockwise and transports them to the tail section. The entire transport process is precise and reliable. Through the coordinated operation of sensors in various parts, automated control of the equipment operation is achieved. Sensors at the head section detect the spool core falling and automatically trigger the turning belt to start; sensors at the tail section detect the arrival of the spool core and automatically pause the turning belt, reducing unnecessary energy consumption and equipment wear, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing manual intervention. High-precision sensors are installed at the tail section, using advanced infrared sensing technology to monitor the number of spool cores in real time. Once the quantity exceeds the preset threshold, the audible and visual alarm system is quickly triggered to remind staff to handle the situation promptly, effectively preventing equipment malfunctions or safety hazards caused by excessive storage of roll cores.
