The motor synchronous pulley, the main shaft synchronous pulley, and the transition synchronous pulley are connected by a synchronous belt to transmit power. The hollow flange main shaft is a hollow shaft with a concentric shaft (not shown in the figure) fixed to its center with a bearing. A rope tube pulley is fixed to the outside of the main shaft synchronous pulley on the concentric shaft. The concentric shaft is also a hollow shaft with a paper rope inlet in the middle hole. The rope tube pulley, the tension pulley, and the V-belt pulley are connected by a V-belt to transmit power. The rope winding device includes a rhomboid plate fixed to the other end of the hollow flange main shaft. A through hole is provided in the center of the rhomboid plate, and a concentric shaft protrudes from the through hole. A central gear is fixed on the concentric shaft.

A transition synchronous pulley 5 is fixed on the transition shaft 6-1. A coaxial triangular belt pulley 6 is provided on the outside of the transition synchronous pulley 5. A tension pulley 7 is fixed on the right side frame of the frame 1. The motor synchronous pulley 4, the main shaft synchronous pulley 11, and the transition synchronous pulley 5 are connected by a synchronous belt 2 to transmit power. The hollow flange main shaft 12 is a hollow shaft, and a concentric shaft (not shown in the figure) is fixed to its center by a bearing. A rope tube pulley 10 is fixed to the outside of the main shaft synchronous pulley 11 on the concentric shaft. The concentric shaft is also a hollow shaft, with a paper rope inlet 9 in the middle hole. The rope tube pulley 10... Tensioner 7. The V-belt pulley 6 is connected to the V-belt 8 to transmit power; The rope winding device includes a rhomboid plate 34 fixed to the other end of the hollow flange main shaft 12. A through hole is provided in the center of the rhomboid plate 34, through which a concentric shaft protrudes. A central gear 18 is fixed on the concentric shaft. The two sides of the central gear 18 mesh with a first driven gear 25 and a second driven gear 32 fixed on the rhomboid plate 34, respectively. A first concentric grooved wheel 27 is provided on the outer side of the first driven gear 25, and a second concentric grooved wheel 31 is provided on the outer side of the second driven gear 32. A bracket 20 is fixed on both sides of the central gear 18, and a paper rope is rotatably fixed on the bracket 20. The reversing wheel 30 is located outside the central gear 18 and its axis is perpendicular to the axis of the central gear 18. The two ends of the rhomboid plate 34 are respectively fixed with a pulley cantilever 26 and a counterweight cantilever 29 perpendicular to it. Several guide wheels 24 are arranged at intervals on the pulley cantilever 26. A paper rope meter wheel 22 is provided on the side of the rhomboid plate 34 near the pulley cantilever 26. A rope winding device 35 is provided between the pulley cantilever 26 and the counterweight cantilever 29. The rope winding device 35 has a rope reel 33 located between the pulley cantilever 26 and the counterweight cantilever 29. A brake device 28 is provided on the rope winding device 35. The first grooved wheel 27, the second grooved wheel 31, and the paper rope meter wheel 22 are all pulleys with grooves in the middle, and the first grooved wheel 27 and the second grooved wheel 31 are provided with multiple wheel grooves.
[0017] The signal acquisition system includes a signal collection device fixed on the upper platform of the frame 1 and a signal transmission device fixed on the rhomboid plate 34 of the rope winding device. The control system collects the pulses emitted by the signal transmitting device and controls the counting and start / stop of the rope making machine.
[0018] The signal collection device includes a semi-circular fixing plate 13 fixed on the upper platform of the frame 1, and an arc-shaped infrared receiving plate 14 fixed on the semi-circular fixing plate 13.
[0019] The signal transmitting device includes a signal trigger post 23 fixed on the paper rope meter wheel 22 of the rope winding device, a proximity switch 21 located on the lower side of the paper rope meter wheel 22, and a circuit board disk 15 fixed on the outside of the rhomboid plate 34 of the rope winding device. Four infrared emitting diodes 16 are arranged in a cross shape on the circuit board disk 15. When the paper rope meter wheel 22 rotates 360 degrees under the drive of the paper rope, the signal trigger post 23 triggers the proximity switch 21 to send a signal, which in turn commands the four infrared emitting diodes 16 to emit infrared light simultaneously once. The arc-shaped infrared receiving plate 14 receives the infrared light signal emitted by the infrared emitting diodes 16. Since the four infrared emitting diodes 16 are arranged in a cross shape on the disc 15, it can be ensured that when the diamond plate 34 rotates to any position, the paper rope meter wheel 22 can receive the infrared light signal emitted by the infrared emitting diodes 16 when it triggers them to emit infrared light.
[0020] The control system collects information emitted by the signal transmitting device. Based on the number of infrared signals emitted by the infrared emitting diode 16, the system multiplies the number of meters of paper rope on the bottom of the paper rope meter wheel 22 by the circumference of the groove. Once the set length is reached, the control system stops the rope making machine and issues an alarm.
[0021] In use, the paper rope 17 enters from the paper rope inlet 9, then changes direction via the paper rope reversing wheel 30, and wraps several times between the first groove wheel 27 and the second groove wheel 31. It then winds onto the rope reel 33 via the paper rope meter wheel 22 and the guide wheel 24. The triangular belt pulley 6 on the transition shaft 6-1 drives the triangular belt 8 to run, which in turn drives the rope tube pulley 10 to rotate, causing the concentric shaft (not shown in the figure) and the central gear 18 to rotate. At the same time, the first groove wheel 27 and the second groove wheel 31 meshing with it rotate to pull out the paper rope 7. The brake device 28 is in a semi-brake state. The rope reel 33 rotates with the diamond plate 34, but at a slightly slower speed than the diamond plate 34, ensuring that the paper rope wound on the rope reel 33 is only the newly produced part and will not break the paper rope 7. At this time, the paper rope 7 passing through the paper rope meter wheel 22 is also in a taut state, driving the paper rope meter wheel 22 to rotate, thereby driving the signal trigger column 23 to rotate. At this time, the circumference of the bottom of the groove of the paper rope meter wheel 22 after one rotation is equal to the length of the paper rope 7 that has passed through. The control system can calculate the total length of the paper rope wound on the rope reel 33 by multiplying the number of rotations of the paper rope meter wheel 22 by the circumference of the bottom of the groove of the paper rope meter wheel 22. When the set length is reached, the machine will stop and alarm, and the rope reel 33 will be replaced.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it allows for real-time measurement of the paper rope length on the rope reel, facilitating production process control. It avoids losses caused by excessively long ropes, or insufficient length leading to splices and reduced product quality after supplementation.
[0023] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
