Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of anchor cable production and processing technology, and more specifically, to a multi-platform automated production line and method for anchor cable cutting. Background Technology
[0002] An anchor cable is a long, rod-shaped component composed of multiple high-strength steel strands, commonly used in civil engineering, mining, and bridge construction. It anchors unstable rock masses or structures to stable strata through prestressing to maintain overall stability. Unlike ordinary anchor bolts, anchor cables have high load-bearing capacity and deep anchoring depth, and are often used to handle large deformations, weak and fractured surrounding rock, or reinforce large slopes. Currently, there are many types of anchor cables, and their corresponding production lines vary greatly. Simple anchor cables do not require high-performance production lines, but for pressure-dispersing anchor cables, such as the pressure-dispersing anchor cable disclosed in patent technology CN106759319B, complex processes are involved, including material preparation, fixed-length cutting, PE stripping, cleaning, installation of isolation frames and pressure plates, positioning and extrusion, installation of protective covers, and installation of guide caps. This places high demands on automation.
[0003] Current automated anchor cable production lines, such as the mining anchor cable automated production equipment and its production process disclosed in patent publication number CN 112122503 A, include a wire feeding reel, a traction machine on one side of the reel, an electrical control cabinet on one side of the traction machine, a cutting box on one side of the control cabinet, and a take-up frame on one side of the cutting box. The control cabinet is a PLC control cabinet, and the cutting box contains a water tank for storing coolant. This production equipment can automatically cut steel strands, making it a semi-automatic production line. While it improves production efficiency, its automation level is insufficient, and it still has the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. This production equipment only meets a small part of the requirements of factory production, such as steel strand storage, manual length setting, and cutting. It is not linked with the subsequent isolation frame, pressure plate installation, and extrusion process. In other words, the process is not connected. This production line is a purely automatic feeding line.
[0005] 2. The production equipment still relies on manual labor for tasks such as feeding materials to a fixed length, inserting isolation frames, pressing plates, and extruding. The level of automation is relatively low.
[0006] 3. This production equipment is only a single-platform structure. It does not take into account the problem that the front-end steel strand cutting, fixed length and equal steps are efficient, while the rear-end assembly of isolation frame, pressure plate and extrusion is slow. Moreover, the rear end requires a lot of manual operation, so the production efficiency still needs to be improved.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and design an automated production line and method for multi-platform linkage after anchor cable cutting to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-platform linkage automated production line after anchor cable cutting, which can automatically complete the assembly of isolation frame, pressure plate and extrusion process after cutting, so as to achieve highly integrated and automated production.
[0009] The second objective of this invention is to provide a multi-platform automated production method after anchor cable cutting, which further improves production efficiency and reduces labor intensity.

The two assembly platforms are arranged side-by-side on one side of the cutting platform along the movement direction of the first linear guide rail. The cutting platform includes a moving platform, a grouting pipe cutting module, and a steel strand cutting module. The moving platform is installed at the output end of the first linear guide rail, and the grouting pipe cutting module and the steel strand cutting module are installed side-by-side on the moving platform along the movement direction of the first linear guide rail. The assembly platform includes a support frame, an extrusion module, multiple positioning modules, multiple grouting pipe guiding modules, and a steel strand guiding module. The multiple positioning modules are installed side-by-side on the support frame along the cutting direction of the cutting platform.

The first linear guide rail, the grouting pipe cutting module, the steel strand cutting module, the extrusion module, the positioning module, the grouting pipe guiding module, and the steel strand guiding module are all electrically connected to the control system.
[0011] As a further improvement, the positioning module includes a support platform and a pair of grippers. The support platform is mounted on a support frame, and the pair of grippers are slidably mounted on the top of the support platform. The support platform is provided with a first driving mechanism that drives the pair of grippers to move relative to each other. The first driving mechanism is electrically connected to the control system.
[0012] Furthermore, the support frame is equipped with a second linear guide rail, the movement direction of the second linear guide rail is the same as the feeding direction of the feeding platform, and the support platform is installed at the output end of the second linear guide rail.
[0013] Furthermore, the grouting pipe guiding module and the steel strand guiding module have the same structure, both including a gantry frame and a pair of semi-circular positioning tubes. The gantry frame is mounted on a support frame, and a three-axis motion platform is mounted on the gantry frame. The positioning tubes are slidably mounted on the output end of the three-axis motion platform, and the output end of the three-axis motion platform is provided with a second drive mechanism to drive the pair of positioning tubes to move relative to each other. The three-axis motion platform and the second drive mechanism are electrically connected to the control system. The radius of the positioning tube corresponding to the grouting pipe guiding module is larger than the radius of the positioning tube corresponding to the steel strand guiding module.
[0014] Furthermore, the extrusion module includes a mobile trolley, a robotic arm, and an extruder. Each support frame has a mobile trolley mounted on one side, which moves linearly along the feeding direction of the feeding platform. The robotic arm is mounted on the mobile trolley, and the extruder is mounted on the output end of the robotic arm. The mobile trolley, robotic arm, and extruder are all electrically connected to the control system.
[0015] Furthermore, the grouting pipe feeding module includes a grouting pipe feeding tray, traction machine I, meter counter, cutter and traction machine II, which are sequentially installed on the mobile platform along one side of the assembly platform; the steel strand feeding module includes a steel strand feeding tray, traction machine I, meter counter, cutter, PE peeling machine, cleaning machine and traction machine II, which are sequentially installed on the mobile platform along one side of the assembly platform. The traction machine I, meter counter, cutter, traction machine II, PE peeling machine and cleaning machine are all electrically connected to the control system.
[0016] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, the present invention provides a method for using a multi-platform automated production line after anchor cable cutting as described in claim 5, characterized in that the method includes the following steps: S1. Based on the positions of the isolation frame and the pressure plate in the anchor cable, position and install the isolation frame and the pressure plate respectively in the positioning modules corresponding to the two assembly platforms; S2. The first linear guide rail drives the moving platform to move until the grouting pipe unloading module is aligned with the assembly platform. S3. The grouting pipe feeding module starts feeding, and the grouting pipe guiding module guides the grouting pipe to the grouting pipe hole of the isolation frame and the pressure plate until the grouting pipe passes through the last isolation frame of the anchor cable. The grouting pipe feeding module stops feeding, and all grouting pipe guiding modules are reset, completing the threading of the grouting pipe. S4. The first linear guide rail drives the moving platform to move until the steel strand cutting module is aligned with the current assembly platform. S5. The steel strand feeding module starts feeding, and the steel strand guiding module guides the steel strand to the steel strand hole of the anchor cable isolation frame and the pressure plate until the steel strand that needs to be squeezed is threaded through the first-level pressure plate of the anchor cable. The steel strand feeding module stops feeding, and all steel strand guiding modules are reset, completing the threading of the steel strands in the first-level pressure plate of the current assembly platform. S6. The extrusion module corresponding to the current assembly platform works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the first-level pressure plate. At the same time, the first linear guide rail drives the moving platform to move until the grouting pipe unloading module is aligned with the next assembly platform. S7. Repeat steps S3-S5 to complete the threading of the grouting pipes and the steel strands of the first-stage bearing plate on the next assembly platform. S8. The extrusion module corresponding to the next assembly platform works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the first-level pressure plate. At the same time, the first linear guide rail drives the moving platform to move until the steel strand feeding module is re-aligned with the previous assembly platform. S9. After all the steel strands in the previous assembly platform have been extruded and anchored, the steel strand feeding module starts feeding. The steel strand guiding module guides the steel strands to the steel strand holes in the anchor cable's isolation frame and the pressure plate until all the steel strands to be extruded are threaded through the second-level pressure plate of the anchor cable. Then, the steel strand feeding module stops feeding, and all the steel strand guiding modules are reset, completing the threading of the steel strands in the second-level pressure plate of the current assembly platform. S10. The extrusion module corresponding to the current assembly platform works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the second-level pressure plate. At the same time, the first linear guide rail drives the moving platform to move until the steel strand feeding module is aligned with the next assembly platform. S11. After all the steel strands in the next assembly platform have been extruded and anchored, the steel strand feeding module starts feeding. The steel strand guiding module guides the steel strands to the steel strand holes in the anchor cable's isolation frame and the pressure plate until all the steel strands to be extruded are threaded through the second-level pressure plate of the anchor cable. Then, the steel strand feeding module stops feeding, and all the steel strand guiding modules are reset, completing the threading of the steel strands in the second-level pressure plate of the current assembly platform. S12. The extrusion module corresponding to the next assembly platform works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the second-level pressure plate. At the same time, the first linear guide rail drives the moving platform to move until the steel strand feeding module is re-aligned with the previous assembly platform. S13. After all the steel strands in the previous assembly platform have been extruded and anchored, the steel strand feeding module starts feeding. The steel strand guiding module guides the steel strands to the steel strand holes of the anchor cable's isolation frame and the pressure plate until all the steel strands to be extruded are threaded through the third-level pressure plate of the anchor cable. Then the steel strand feeding module stops feeding, and all the steel strand guiding modules are reset, completing the threading of the steel strands in the third-level pressure plate of the current assembly platform. S14. The extrusion module corresponding to the current assembly platform works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the third-level pressure plate. At the same time, the first linear guide rail drives the moving platform to move until the steel strand feeding module is aligned with the next assembly platform. S15. After all the steel strands in the next assembly platform have been extruded and anchored, the steel strand feeding module starts feeding. The steel strand guiding module guides the steel strands to the steel strand holes in the anchor cable's isolation frame and the pressure plate until all the steel strands to be extruded are threaded through the third-level pressure plate of the anchor cable. Then the steel strand feeding module stops feeding, and all the steel strand guiding modules are reset, completing the threading of the steel strands in the third-level pressure plate of the current assembly platform. S16. The extrusion module of the next assembly platform works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the third-level pressure plate, completing the production of the three-level pressure-dispersing anchor cable.
[0017] Furthermore, step S1 includes the following specific steps: S1.1 The first drive mechanism works, driving a pair of grippers to move in opposite directions until the relative distance between the pair of grippers is greater than the diameter of the isolation frame and the pressure plate; S1.2. Based on the position of the isolation frame and the pressure plate in the anchor cable, place the isolation frame and the pressure plate between a pair of clamps; S1.3 Repeat steps S1.1 and S1.2 to install all the isolation frames and pressure plates onto the positioning module.
[0018] Furthermore, during the guiding process, the second drive mechanism on the front side of the corresponding positioning module of the grouting pipe guide module works, driving a pair of positioning pipes to open, while the three-axis motion platform moves, driving the pair of positioning pipes to the end of the grouting pipe; then the second drive mechanism works again, driving the pair of positioning pipes to close, while the three-axis motion platform moves, driving the pair of positioning pipes and the grouting pipe to move synchronously to the grouting pipe hole of the isolation frame and the pressure plate; finally, under the thrust of the grouting pipe feeding module, the grouting pipe passes through the grouting pipe hole. When the steel strand guiding module is guiding, the second drive mechanism on the front side of its corresponding positioning module works, driving a pair of positioning tubes to open. At the same time, the three-axis motion platform moves, driving the pair of positioning tubes to move to the end of the steel strand. Then, the second drive mechanism works again, driving the pair of positioning tubes to close. At the same time, the three-axis motion platform moves, driving the pair of positioning tubes and the steel strand to move synchronously to the steel strand hole of the isolation frame and the pressure plate. Finally, the steel strand passes through the steel strand hole under the thrust of the steel strand feeding module.
[0019] Furthermore, when the extrusion module is extruding and anchoring the steel strand, the moving trolley moves to the steel strand that needs to be extruded, and the robot arm drives the extruder to swing to the end of the steel strand that needs to be extruded. The extruder then operates to extrude and anchor the extrusion sleeve to the end of the steel strand.
[0020] Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. The production line of the present invention, by setting up an assembly platform on one side of the unloading platform, and configuring positioning modules, extrusion modules, etc. on the assembly platform, allows the grouting pipes and steel strands after unloading to be directly connected to the assembly platform, and can automatically complete the assembly of the isolation frame, pressure plate and extrusion process after unloading, realizing highly integrated and automated production.
[0021] 2. In the production method of the present invention, the grouting pipe and steel strand are unloaded on a movable platform, which allows the unloading platform to switch between two assembly platforms for assembly. This achieves the efficiency of supplying two assembly platforms from one unloading platform without waiting for the extrusion process of the assembly platform to be completed, further improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0025] See Figure 1-8The present invention provides an automated production line for anchor cable cutting using multiple platforms, comprising a first linear guide rail 1, a cutting platform 2, two assembly platforms 3, and a control system. The cutting platform 2 is used for cutting grouting pipes and steel strands, and the assembly platform 3 is used for assembling the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate, as well as anchoring the ends of the steel strands to the pressure plate. The two assembly platforms 3 are arranged side by side on one side of the cutting platform 2 along the movement direction of the first linear guide rail 1, so that the cutting platform 2 can switch between different assembly platforms 3 for assembly work by being driven by the first linear guide rail 1. Specifically, the material feeding platform 2 includes a mobile platform 21, a grouting pipe feeding module 22, and a steel strand feeding module 23. The mobile platform 21 is installed at the output end of the first linear guide rail 1. The grouting pipe feeding module 22 and the steel strand feeding module 23 are installed side by side on the mobile platform 21 along the movement direction of the first linear guide rail 1, so that the grouting pipe feeding module 22 and the steel strand feeding module 23 can be switched under the drive of the first linear guide rail 1 to align with the assembly platform 3 respectively, so as to realize the separate feeding of the grouting pipe and the steel strand. The assembly platform 3 includes a support frame 31, an extrusion module 32, multiple positioning modules 33, multiple grouting pipe guide modules 34, and a steel strand guide module 35. The positioning modules 33 are used to position the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate at designated locations. The extrusion module 32 is used to extrude and anchor the ends of the steel strands onto the pressure plate. The grouting pipe guide modules 34 guide the grouting pipes to the corresponding grouting pipe holes in the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate. The steel strand guide modules 35 guide the steel strands to the corresponding steel strand holes in the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate. Multiple positioning modules 33 are installed side-by-side on the support frame 31 along the unloading direction of the unloading platform 2, depending on the position of the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate within the anchor cable. Each positioning module 33 has a grouting pipe guide module 34 and a steel strand guide module 35 installed on both sides, guiding the grouting pipes and steel strands to the corresponding positions of the multiple isolation frames 4 and the pressure plate. The extrusion module 32 is slidably positioned on the outside of the support frame 31, enabling the extrusion and anchoring of steel strands at different positions. Specifically, the first linear guide 1, the grouting pipe feeding module 22, the steel strand feeding module 23, the extrusion module 32, the positioning module 33, the grouting pipe guiding module 34, and the steel strand guiding module 35 are all electrically connected to the control system 5 to realize automatic control of the operation of each mechanism.
[0026] The production line of the present invention, by setting up an assembly platform 3 on one side of the unloading platform 2, and the assembly platform 3 is equipped with a positioning module 33, an extrusion module 32, etc., so that the grouting pipe and steel strand after unloading can be directly connected to the assembly platform 3, and the assembly of the isolation frame, pressure plate and extrusion process can be automatically completed after unloading, realizing highly integrated and automated production.
[0027] Preferably, the positioning module 33 in this embodiment includes a support platform 331 and a pair of grippers 332. The support platform 331 is mounted on the support frame 31, and the pair of grippers 332 are slidably mounted on the top of the support platform 331. The support platform 331 is provided with a first drive mechanism 333 for driving the pair of grippers 332 to move relative to each other. The first drive mechanism 333 is electrically connected to the control system 5. Specifically, the first drive mechanism 333 can be a cylinder, which is mounted on the support platform 331 and its output end is connected to the grippers 332. The movement of the two cylinders drives the pair of grippers 332 to clamp or release the isolation frame 4 or the pressure plate. In other embodiments, the first drive mechanism 333 can also be a combination structure of a motor, a screw, and a slide. The motor is mounted on the support platform 331, the screw is a lead screw with opposite threads at both ends, the screw is rotatably mounted on the support platform 331, the output end of the motor is connected to the screw, a pair of grippers 332 are respectively mounted on two slides, the two slides are then threaded to the two ends of the screw, and the slides are in contact with the support platform 331. When the motor rotates, it can drive the two slides to move relative to each other, thereby driving the pair of grippers 332 to move, so as to clamp or release the isolation frame 4 or the pressure plate.
[0028] Preferably, a second linear guide rail 36 is installed on the support frame 31. The movement direction of the second linear guide rail 36 is the same as the feeding direction of the feeding platform 2. A support platform 331 is installed at the output end of the second linear guide rail 36, which is electrically connected to the control system 5. The support platform 331 is mounted on a sliding linear guide rail. In actual production, the position of the positioning module 33 can be adjusted to accommodate different positions of the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate in the anchor cable, thus broadening its applicability. In other embodiments, the support platform 331 can be directly slidably mounted on the support frame 31 and secured with screws; this method allows for manual adjustment.
[0029] Preferably, the grouting pipe guiding module 34 and the steel strand guiding module 35 have the same structure, both including a gantry frame 341 and a pair of semi-circular positioning tubes 342. The gantry frame 341 is mounted on a support frame 31, and a three-axis motion platform 343 is mounted on the gantry frame 31. The three-axis motion platform 343 is an existing X / Y / Z axis moving platform, which will not be described in detail here. The positioning tubes 342 are slidably mounted on the output end of the three-axis motion platform 343, and the output end of the three-axis motion platform 343 is provided with a second drive mechanism 344 to drive the relative movement of the pair of positioning tubes 342. The structure of the second drive mechanism 344 can adopt the structure corresponding to the first drive mechanism 343 described above, which will not be described in detail here. Both the three-axis motion platform 343 and the second drive mechanism 344 are electrically connected to the control system 5 to realize automatic control of the opening and closing of the pair of positioning tubes 342. After the pair of positioning tubes 342 are closed, their inner diameter is adapted to the diameter of the grouting pipe or steel strand, and they play a guiding role. It should be noted that the radius of the positioning tube 342 corresponding to the grouting pipe guiding module 34 is larger than the radius of the positioning tube 342 corresponding to the steel strand guiding module 35.
[0030] Preferably, the extrusion module 32 includes a mobile trolley 321, a robotic arm 322, and an extruder 323. Each support frame 31 has a mobile trolley 321 mounted on one side, which moves linearly along the feeding direction of the feeding platform 2. Specifically, a track is mounted on one side of the support frame 31, and the mobile trolley 321 can be a traveling trolley that can move linearly along the track. The robotic arm 322 is mounted on the mobile trolley 321, and the extruder 323 is mounted on the output end of the robotic arm 322. The mobile trolley 321, robotic arm 322, and extruder 323 are all electrically connected to the control system 5 to automatically control the extruder 323 to move to the end of the steel strand. Specifically, the extruder 323 is a product in the prior art (such as the horizontal automatic guided radial extruder disclosed in publication number CN204365733U), which will not be described in detail here.
[0031] Preferably, the grouting pipe feeding module 22 includes a grouting pipe feeding tray 221, a traction machine I 222, a meter counter 223, a cutter 224, and a traction machine II 225, all sequentially installed along one side of the assembly platform 3 on the moving platform 21. The steel strand feeding module 23 includes a steel strand feeding tray 231, a traction machine I 222, a meter counter 223, a cutter 224, a PE peeling machine 232, a cleaning machine 233, and a traction machine II 225, all sequentially installed along one side of the assembly platform 3 on the moving platform 21. The traction machine I 222, meter counter 223, cutter 224, traction machine II 225, PE peeling machine 232, and cleaning machine 233 are all electrically connected to the control system 5. Furthermore, a marking machine can be installed on the side of the meter counter 223 corresponding to the steel strand feeding module 23 to mark the steel strand.
[0032] When the grouting pipe is unloaded, the grouting pipe is coiled and placed on the grouting pipe unloading tray 221. The grouting pipe is unloaded and passes through the traction machine I222, the meter counter 223, the cutter 224 and the traction machine II225 in sequence. When the meter counter 223 calculates that the set length has been reached, the cutter 224 cuts the grouting pipe. The cut grouting pipe is then pulled forward by the traction machine II225 until it passes through the last isolation frame and then disengages from the traction machine II225.
[0033] During the steel strand cutting process, the steel strand is coiled and placed on the steel strand cutting tray 231. The steel strand passes sequentially through the traction machine I222, the meter counter 223, the cutter 224, the PE stripper 232, the cleaning machine 233, and the traction machine II225. When the end of the steel strand passes through the PE stripper 232, the PE stripper 232 cuts and removes the PE sleeve at its end. When it passes through the cleaning machine 233, the cleaning machine 233 cleans away the grease at its end. When the meter counter 223 calculates that the set length has been reached, the cutter 224 cuts the steel strand. The cut steel strand is then pulled forward by the traction machine II225 until it is threaded onto the required layer of pressure plate and then detaches from the traction machine II225.
[0034] The feeding platform in this embodiment can achieve automated fixed-length cutting without human intervention. When switching between grouting pipes and steel strands, there is no need for manual switching. Simply move the feeding platform to automatically connect the steel strand (or grouting pipe) to be switched to the platform and automatically feed it forward without manual traction.
[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the grouting pipe feeding tray 221 and the steel strand feeding tray 231 are operated automatically, i.e., the grouting pipe feeding tray 221 and the steel strand feeding tray 231 are controlled by a motor to rotate and feed the wires. The traction machine I222, the meter counter 223, the cutter 224, and the traction machine II225 are all existing technologies, such as the automatic anchor cable cutting device disclosed in CN 119056973 A. The PE peeling machine 232 and the cleaning machine 233 are also existing technologies, such as the peeling component and degreasing cleaning component disclosed in CN110548707 B. In other embodiments, the cleaning machine 233 may also be multiple high-pressure nozzles.
[0036] This embodiment also discloses a multi-platform coordinated automated production method after anchor cable cutting. Taking the production of a seven-hole, three-level anchor cable as an example, the method includes the following steps: S1. Based on the positions of the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate in the anchor cable, the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate are respectively positioned and installed in the positioning modules 33 corresponding to the two assembly platforms 3. S2. The first linear guide rail 1 drives the moving platform 21 to move until the grouting pipe unloading module 22 is aligned with the assembly platform 3. S3. The grouting pipe feeding module 22 starts feeding, and the grouting pipe guiding module 34 guides the grouting pipe to the grouting pipe hole of the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate until the grouting pipe passes through the last isolation frame 4 of the anchor cable. The grouting pipe feeding module 22 stops feeding, and all the grouting pipe guiding modules 34 are reset, completing the threading of the grouting pipe. S4. The first linear guide rail 1 drives the moving platform 21 to move until the steel strand cutting module 23 is aligned with the current assembly platform 3. S5. The steel strand feeding module 23 starts feeding, and the steel strand guiding module 35 guides the steel strand to the isolation frame 4 of the anchor cable and the steel strand hole of the pressure plate until the steel strand that needs to be squeezed is threaded through the first-level pressure plate of the anchor cable. Then the steel strand feeding module 23 stops feeding, and all the steel strand guiding modules 35 are reset, completing the threading of the steel strands in the first-level pressure plate of the current assembly platform 3. S6. The extrusion module 32 corresponding to the current assembly platform 3 works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the first-level pressure plate. At the same time, the first linear guide rail 1 drives the moving platform 21 to move until the grouting pipe unloading module 34 is aligned with the next assembly platform 3. S7. Repeat steps S3-S5 to complete the threading of the grouting pipes and the steel strands of the first-stage bearing plate on the next assembly platform 3. S8. The extrusion module 32 corresponding to the next assembly platform 3 works to extrude and anchor the steel strands of the first-level pressure plate. At the same time, the first linear guide rail 1 drives the moving platform 21 to move until the steel strand feeding module 23 is re-aligned with the previous assembly platform 3. S9. After all the steel strands in the previous assembly platform 3 have been extruded and anchored, the steel strand feeding module 23 starts feeding.

[0037] It should be noted that if the production is of fourth, fifth or more grades of anchor cables, the steel strand cutting module can be produced alternately between the two assembly platforms, which will not be elaborated here.
[0038] The production method of the present invention sets the grouting pipe and steel strand feeding on a movable platform 21, so that the feeding platform 2 can switch between two assembly platforms 3 for assembly. This can achieve the efficiency of supplying two assembly platforms with one feeding platform without waiting for the extrusion process of the assembly platform to be completed, further improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

S1.2 According to the position of the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate in the anchor cable, place the isolation frame 4 and the pressure plate between a pair of clamps 332.

It should be noted that the extrusion press uses a jack to push the extrusion sleeve to anchor to the end of the steel strand, therefore the robot arm 322 is not subjected to axial thrust, and its stability is not affected.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
