[0024] Example:

[0025] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a fiber cloth preform flange and edge automatic laying reinforcement device, including a feeding device 1, a feeding positioning platform 2 and four sets of heat sealing devices, the feeding positioning platform 2 is arranged in the center of the feeding device 1, the feeding positioning platform 2 includes a working platform 21, and the working platform 21 is provided with a feeding box around it, and a plurality of reinforced edge pieces are vertically stored in the feeding box. The four columns of the working platform 21 are all provided with a turning device 3 near the top, and the turning device 3 is arranged at the bottom of the heat sealing device, and the heat sealing device is turned outward by ninety degrees through the turning device 3;

[0026] The heat sealing device includes a plurality of beams 42, one end of the beams 42 away from the working platform 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the turning frame 41, the bottom of the turning frame 41 is connected to the output end of the turning device 3, and the ends of the beams 42 close to the working platform 21 are fixedly installed with the edge heat sealing plate 43 or the flange heat sealing plate 71;

[0027] The heat sealing device is an edge heat sealing device 4 or a flange heat sealing device 7. An upper clamping cylinder 44 is arranged on the top of the crossbeam 42 of the edge heat sealing device 4. An upper clamping block 45 is arranged at the end of the upper clamping cylinder 44. The upper clamping block 45 is arranged near the upper edge of the edge heat sealing plate 43. A lower clamping cylinder 46 is arranged on the surface of the edge heat sealing plate 43 and near the upper clamping cylinder 44. A lower clamping block 47 is arranged at the end of the telescopic shaft of the lower clamping cylinder 46. The lower clamping block 47 is arranged near the lower edge of the edge heat sealing plate 43.

[0028] As shown in the figure, by sequentially setting the edge heat sealing device 4 and the flange heat sealing device 7 according to the process, a turnover robot can be set between the two for automatic transfer and connection, or the action platform can be set as an assembly line transmission device, and the positioning tire mold 22 is set as a sliding pallet on the assembly line transmission device, thereby realizing the assembly line automatic production process of the edge and flange;

[0029] The structures and working principles of the edge heat sealing device 4 and the flange heat sealing device 7 are similar.

It is only necessary to match the shape of the flange heat sealing plate 71 and the shape of the flange feeding box 6 according to the shape of the flange cut piece.

[0030] When performing the edge heat sealing operation, since the edge is suspended above the fiber cloth substrate, it needs to be clamped in place. Therefore, it is necessary to set an upper clamping cylinder 44 to cooperate with the upper clamping block 45, and a lower clamping cylinder 46 to cooperate with the lower clamping block 47 and the edge heat sealing plate 43 to clamp the upper and lower edges in place.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, further, the flipping device 3 includes a flipping bracket 31, a reducer 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the flipping bracket 31, an actuator motor 33 is fixedly installed on one side of the reducer 32, the output shaft of the actuator motor 33 is fixedly installed with the input shaft of the reducer 32, and a transmission shaft 34 is fixedly installed at the output end of the reducer 32, and the transmission shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple flipping frames 41.

[0032] As shown in the figure, the driving motor 33 is driven and decelerated by the reducer 32, so that the drive shaft 34 can rotate forward and reverse, so that the flipping device 3 is flipped through the fixed connection between the drive shaft 34 and the bottom of the flip bracket 31, thereby realizing a series of actions of the edge heat sealing plate 43 or the flange heat sealing plate 71 approaching and tightly positioning the tire mold 22, thereby realizing automatic heat sealing of the reinforced edge.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, further, the loading device 1 is provided with four groups of manipulators 15 that can move arbitrarily along the X, Y, and Z directions. The manipulators 15 are arranged at the top of the lifting rod 11, and the lifting rod 11 is slidably connected to the middle of the sliding plate 12. The sliding plate 12 is slidably connected between two first slides 13 or second slides 14. The two first slides 13 are fixedly connected side by side to the center of the top of the support frame 16, and the two second slides 14 are fixedly connected side by side to the top of the support frame 16, and are arranged at a ninety-degree angle to the two first slides 13.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, the working platform 21 is arranged at the bottom center of the supporting frame 16, and the bottom of the working platform 21 is fixedly installed with the bottom of the supporting frame 16 and then fixedly installed with the ground.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, a positioning tire mold 22 is fixedly installed at the top center of the working platform 21 .

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, the fiber cloth substrate is circulated between two adjacent positioning molds 22 by a transfer robot 15 .

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, further, the working platform 21 is a production line equipment, a plurality of positioning molds 22 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the conveying device of the production line equipment, the supporting frame 16 of the feeding device 1 spans the conveying device, and each heat sealing device is correspondingly installed on the production line equipment.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, the positioning mold 22 is arranged to imitate the shape of a predetermined fiber cloth matrix.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, the feeding box is an edge feeding box 5 or a flange feeding box 6.

[0040] The working principle of the automatic heat-sealing device for reinforcing edges of high-pressure resin molded composite products is as follows: first, the fiber cloth substrate is taken out from the preforming machine by the transfer robot 15 and transferred to the positioning mold 22 of the material placement platform 2. After the fiber cloth substrate is placed on the top of the positioning mold 22 by the transfer robot 15 for positioning, each edge cut piece is taken out from each edge feeding box 5 by each robot 15 of the feeding device 1, and then moved to the edge heat-sealing device 4;

[0041] At the same time, the edge heat sealing device 4 is driven by the execution motor 33 of the turning device 3, and slowly rotates under the deceleration of the reducer 32 to drive the edge heat sealing device 4 to turn outward 90 degrees as a whole so that the concave part of the edge heat sealing plate 43 faces upward. After the edge cutting piece is placed on it by the manipulator 15, the upper clamping cylinder 44 and the lower clamping cylinder 46 drive the upper clamping block 45 and the lower clamping block 47 to clamp and fix the upper and lower sides of the edge cutting piece, and then continue to rotate by the execution motor 33 to make the edge cutting piece The sheet is further approached to the fiber cloth matrix until it is tightly attached. During this process, the upper clamping cylinder 44 and the lower clamping cylinder 46 contact and clamp the cut piece when it is almost in place, so as to facilitate the heat sealing operation. The heat-sealed fiber cloth matrix is ​​transferred to the flange edge heat sealing device 7 by the transfer robot 15 for the flange edge heat sealing process. The robot 15 places each flange edge on the working platform 21, and then heat-sealed by the flange edge heat sealing device 7. The process is similar to the heat sealing of the edge cut piece, except that clamping and positioning are not required.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the feeding device 1, manipulator 15, reducer 32, actuator motor 33, upper clamping cylinder 44, lower clamping cylinder 46, edge heat sealing plate 43 and flange heat sealing plate 71 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0043] The power supply and principles of the feeding device 1, manipulator 15, reducer 32, actuator motor 33, upper clamping cylinder 44, lower clamping cylinder 46, edge heat sealing plate 43 and flange heat sealing plate 71 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
