They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic wheel-changing unpowered pay-off frame 100 comprises: a base 1, a cylinder 2, a wheel-changing frame 3, a wire-passing buffer mechanism 4 and a pay-off mechanism 5.

[0022] The fixed end of the cylinder 2 is hinged on the base 1 so as to be horizontally rotatable.

[0023] The wheel-changing frame 3 includes a longitudinal column 31, an ear plate 32 and two transverse hanging shafts 33. The longitudinal column 31 is erected on the base 1 along the first direction Z. The ear plate 32 is arranged on the side of the longitudinal column 31. The piston end of the cylinder 2 is hinged to the ear plate 32 to drive the longitudinal column 31 to rotate in the horizontal direction. The two transverse hanging shafts 33 extend along the second direction X and are symmetrically hung on both sides of the longitudinal column 31 for hanging the I-shaped wheel 101. The second direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Z.

[0024] The line buffer mechanism 4 includes a slide tube 41, a slide rail 42, a pulley 43, a counterweight 44, a sensor 45, a connecting rope 46, a cloud rack 47, two wire clamps 48 and two hanging wheels 49. The slide tube 41 is vertically fixed to the top of the longitudinal column 31 along the first direction Z, the pulley 43 is mounted on the top of the slide tube 41, the slide rail 42 extends along the first direction Z and is fixed to the outside of the slide tube 41. The two wire clamps 48 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the slide tube 41 along the second direction X, and are used to be able to be dragged to the ground to clamp the steel wires 102 respectively drawn from the two I-shaped wheels 101. The cloud rack 47 can be slidably arranged on the slide rail 42 along the first direction Z. The hanging wheels 49 are arranged on both ends of the cloud frame 47 along the second direction X. The two hanging wheels 49 are located above the two wire clamps 48. The two hanging wheels 49 are symmetrical with the center. The hanging wheel 49 on the side away from the wire-releasing mechanism 5 is hung with the steel wire 102 led out from the two wire clamps 48. One end of the connecting rope 46 is connected to the counterweight block 44, and the other end is connected to the cloud frame 47 after being wrapped around the pulley 43. The weight of the counterweight block 44 is greater than the weight of the cloud frame 47 and the two hanging wheels 49. The sensor 45 is arranged at the bottom of the sliding tube 41, and is used to send a driving signal to the cylinder 2 to drive the piston rod of the cylinder 2 to retract first and then extend when the counterweight block 44 is sensed to rise.

[0025] The wire-releasing mechanism 5 includes a rocker arm 51, a rocker arm shaft 52 and a rocker arm frame 53. The rocker arm frame 53 is arranged on the base 1. The rocker arm 51 is rotatably arranged on the rocker arm frame 53 through the rocker arm shaft 52, and the rocker arm 51 is inclined outward along the direction close to the longitudinal column 31, so as to avoid the I-shaped wheel 101 placed on the transverse hanging shaft 33 when the rocker arm 51 rotates. A wire-releasing hole 521 is opened at the axial center line of the rocker arm shaft 52.

[0026] Optional, such as Figure 3As shown, each transverse hanging shaft 33 includes a support seat 331, a main shaft 332, a spherical roller bearing 333, a graphite self-lubricating copper sleeve 334, a sleeve 335 and a locking block 336. The support seat 331 is fixed on the longitudinal column 31, the main shaft 332 is inserted and fixed on the support seat 331 along the second direction X so as to be non-rotatable, the spherical roller bearing 333 and the graphite self-lubricating copper sleeve 334 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the main shaft 332, the sleeve 335 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the spherical roller bearing 333 and the graphite self-lubricating copper sleeve 334, and the locking block 336 is clamped between the main shaft 332 and the sleeve 335 in an adjustable tightness. Generally, after the wheel is changed, the steel wires 102 on the two I-shaped wheels 101 need to be pulled out with a little excess for welding, and the welded steel wires 102 are then hung on the left hanging wheel 49 of the cloud frame 47. However, after hanging, the steel wires 102 are loose and have no tension due to the excess of the steel wires 102, which affects the next wheel change. After the transverse hanging shaft 33 is set in this way, the left I-shaped wheel 101 can be rotated around the main shaft 332 with the sleeve 335 by loosening the locking block 336, thereby tightening the steel wire 102. After the steel wire 102 is tightened, the locking block 336 is tightened to prevent the sleeve 335 from rotating, and the bayonet 337 is inserted to prevent the I-shaped wheel 101 from falling.

[0027] Preferably, each transverse hanging shaft 33 further includes a latch 337 , which is inserted into an end of the shaft sleeve 335 away from the longitudinal column 31 , and is used to prevent the I-shaped wheel 101 hung on the shaft sleeve 335 from falling off.

[0028] Preferably, a plurality of through holes 3351 are evenly formed along the circumferential direction on one end of the sleeve 335 away from the longitudinal column 31, and the plurality of through holes 3351 are all located outside the main shaft 332. This arrangement facilitates the insertion of the bayonet 337 without affecting the rotation of the sleeve 335.

[0029] Optionally, the rocker arm shaft 52 coincides with the axial centerline of the spool 101 hung on the transverse hanging shaft 33. This arrangement facilitates the rocker arm 51 to stably release the wire around the spool 101.

[0030] Preferably, the rocker arm frame 53 has an adjustable height, which facilitates adjusting the height of the rocker arm shaft 52 to keep the axial height of the spool 101 consistent with that of the spool 101 for spools 101 of different diameters.

[0031] Optionally, the rocker arm 51 includes a straight plate 511, an inclined rod 512, a first guide wheel 513, a second guide wheel 514 and a third guide wheel 515, wherein a side of the straight plate 511 away from the wheel changing frame 3 is vertically connected to the rocker arm shaft 52, the first guide wheel 513 is fixed to a side of the straight plate 511 close to the wheel changing frame 3, one end of the inclined rod 512 is obliquely connected to one end of the straight plate 511 along the first direction Z, wherein a counterweight module can be provided on the other end of the straight plate 511 along the first direction Z to adjust the balance of the rocker arm 51 during rotation, the third guide wheel 515 is fixed to the other end of the inclined rod 512, the second guide wheel 514 is provided in the middle of the inclined rod 512, and the diameter of the second guide wheel 514 is smaller than the diameters of the first guide wheel 513 and the third guide wheel 515. The steel wire 102 can be released along the third guide wheel 515, the second guide wheel 514 and the first guide wheel 513 in sequence, and the smaller second guide wheel 514 can not only stabilize the tension of the steel wire 102, but also press the steel wire 102 toward the inclined rod 512 as much as possible to prevent the steel wire 102 from hitting the I-shaped wheel 101 when the rocker arm 51 rotates outside the I-shaped wheel 101.

[0032] Preferably, the bottom of the wheel groove of the second guide wheel 514 is closer to the inclined rod 512 than the bottom of the wheel groove of the third guide wheel 515. This arrangement facilitates better tensioning of the steel wire 102. In addition, when the steel wire 102 is wound, it passes through the bottom of the third guide wheel 515, the bottom of the second guide wheel 514, the top of the first guide wheel 513 and the wire release hole in sequence.

[0033] Optionally, the counterweight 44 can be arranged in the slide tube 41 to slide up and down along the first direction Z. This arrangement facilitates the counterweight 44 to slide up and down stably.

[0034] Optionally, two limit blocks 11 are provided on the base 1 along the third direction Y to prevent the ear plate 32 from rotating more than 180 degrees, and the third direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction X. This arrangement ensures that the I-shaped wheels 101 on the left and right sides can better complete the symmetrical transposition.

[0035] The operating principle of the embodiment of the automatic wheel-changing unpowered pay-off stand 100 of the utility model is as follows:

[0036] The traction device is used to continuously traction the steel wire 102 on the right side of the wire-releasing mechanism 5, so that the rocker arm 51 rotates around the right spool 101 to release the wire, and the right spool 101 remains stationary during the process. When the steel wire 102 on the right spool 101 is about to be released, the rocker arm 51 is pulled above the spool 101 and is basically flush with the right wire clamp 48. At this time, the steel wire 102 on the right wire clamp 48 is easily pulled out, and the pulled out steel wire 102 drives the hanging wheel 49 on the cloud frame 47 to descend, and at the same time, the counterweight block 44 rises along the first direction Z to trigger the sensor 45 to send a driving signal to the cylinder 2. After receiving the driving signal, the piston rod of the cylinder 2 first performs a contraction action to drive the ear plate 32 to drive the longitudinal column 31 to rotate 90 degrees as a whole, and when it rotates 90 degrees, the piston rod of the cylinder 2 immediately extends. At this time, due to the effect of rotational inertia, the longitudinal column 31 as a whole will continue to rotate in the original rotation direction until the I-shaped wheels 101 on the left and right sides are switched left and right. At the same time, the cloud frame 47 is pulled down to the specified position by the pull of the steel wire 102, and then the steel wire 102 is successively separated from the hanging wheel 49 and the wire clamp 48 located on the right side after rotation. The completely separated steel wire 102 begins to tighten under the traction of the traction equipment, so that the rocker arm 51 rotates around the newly replaced full wheel I-shaped wheel 101 on the right side again to perform the wire release action. At this point, the wheel change action is completed, and the full I-shaped wheel 101 originally prepared on the left side is successfully replaced to the wire release position on the right side, and the empty I-shaped wheel 101 originally on the right side is also replaced to the unloading position on the left side. After that, the empty I-shaped wheel 101 is removed and replaced with a new full wheel I-shaped wheel 101 for preparation, and then the steel wires 102 of the two I-shaped wheels 101 are welded, and the welded steel wires 102 are clamped by two wire clamps 48 and hung on the hanging wheel 49 located on the left side at this time, waiting for the next wheel change.

[0037] The automatic wheel-changing unpowered pay-off stand of the utility model can stably and automatically switch from an empty spool that has just been paid out to a full spool, thereby realizing uninterrupted and continuous pay-off, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers and effectively improves production efficiency.

[0038] The present invention has been described by the above-mentioned relevant embodiments, however, the above-mentioned embodiments are only examples for implementing the present invention. It must be pointed out that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, any changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
