[0022] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Figure 1 It is a front view schematic diagram of the welding strip replacement device of the present utility model. Figure 2 It is a left side schematic diagram of the welding strip replacement device of the present invention.
[0025] The following description assumes that the solder strip replacement device is placed horizontally.
[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a welding strip replacement device for a string welding machine. It is used to replace a welding strip 1. The welding strip replacement device includes: a fixed shaft 2, a track 3, a hook 4, a pushing device 7, a multi-function control operation panel 8, a motor 5, a mounting plate 6, a bracket 9, a screw rod 10, and a transmission ring 11.
[0027] The fixed shaft 2 is fixed on the front of the mounting plate 6, arranged horizontally and protruding from the front of the mounting plate 6. The mounting plate 6 is, for example, a front panel of a cabinet. The track 3 is arranged opposite to the front of the mounting plate 6 and a distance is left between the two. In the present utility model, the surface of the mounting plate 6 facing the track 3 is defined as the front of the mounting plate 6.
[0028] The track 3 has a horizontal portion 31 and a vertical portion 32 connected to one end of the horizontal portion 31 , the other end of the vertical portion 32 is located below the horizontal portion 31 , the horizontal portion 31 extends in a horizontal direction parallel to the front of the mounting plate 6 , and the vertical portion 32 extends in a vertical direction.
[0029] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The number of tracks 3 is multiple, the number of hooks 4 is multiple, and the tracks 3 and the hooks 4 correspond one to one.
[0030] The hook 4 can be driven by the motor 5 to move along the track 3, and the hook 4 is used to mount the welding strip 1. Specifically, Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, six tracks 3 are shown, and each track 3 is equipped with a corresponding motor 5. A transmission belt (not shown) is arranged along the track of each track 3. The output shaft of each motor 5 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to drive a transmission belt to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Each transmission belt is fixedly connected to a hook 4. The rotation direction and rotation angle of the motor 5 are controlled by the multi-function control operation panel 8. In this way, the hook 4 is controlled to move up, down, left, and right. The motor 5 drives the transmission belt to move in different directions, which is common knowledge in the field and will not be further described here.
[0031] The pushing device 7 is used to push the soldering ribbon 1 toward the fixed shaft 2 when the hook 4 transports the soldering ribbon 1 to a state where the soldering ribbon 1 is opposite to the fixed shaft 2 , so that the soldering ribbon 1 is mounted on the fixed shaft 2 .
[0032] The staff first controls the motor 5 through the multi-function control operation panel 8, and the motor 5 controls the transmission belt, thereby moving the hook 4 to a lower position, and then hanging the welding ribbon 1 on the hook 4. Then, the multi-function control operation panel 8 is operated to control the hook 4 to move upward along the vertical portion 32, and then move horizontally along the horizontal portion 31. When the hook 4 moves to the position of the fixed shaft 2 where the welding ribbon 1 needs to be replaced, the multi-function control operation panel 8 is operated to control the pushing device 7 to push the welding ribbon 1 to the fixed shaft 2, so that the welding ribbon 1 is mounted on the fixed shaft 2. Note that the used welding ribbon 1 on the fixed shaft 2 has been removed in advance, and only the plastic reel in the center of the used welding ribbon 1 is left, which is very light in weight, and there is no safety risk or time-consuming to remove it manually. Figure 1 The soldering ribbons 1 shown in the figure are all soldering ribbons 1 that have not been consumed.
[0033] The soldering strip replacement device of the utility model reduces manual labor intensity, improves the soldering strip 1 replacement efficiency, increases the production capacity of the stringing machine, and reduces the risk of personal injury and soldering strip 1 damage.
[0034] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 There are multiple fixed shafts 2, and the horizontal portion 31 of each track 3 corresponds to one or more fixed shafts 2. The orthographic projection of the fixed shaft 2 on the plane where the mounting plate 6 is located is located below the orthographic projection of the horizontal portion 31 of the corresponding track 3 on the plane where the mounting plate 6 is located.
[0035] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 Some of the fixed shafts 2 are located in the upper area of the mounting plate 6 and are arranged in an array in the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0036] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The vertical portion 32 of the track 3 corresponding to the fixed axis 2 located in the upper area of the mounting plate 6 is located on the same side of the mounting plate 6 along the horizontal direction.
[0037] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 Part of the fixed shafts 2 are located in the lower area of the mounting plate 6, arranged in only one row along the vertical direction, and close to the edge area of the mounting plate 6 along the horizontal direction.
[0038] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The vertical portion 32 of the track 3 corresponding to the fixed axis 2 located in the lower area of the mounting plate 6 is located on the same side of the mounting plate 6 along the horizontal direction.
[0039] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 , the lowest one or more fixed shafts 2 are located outside the mounting range of the hook 4.
[0040] That is to say, the welding strips 1 on some of the fixed shafts 2 can be replaced by manpower. These fixed shafts 2 are located at a lower position, and the safety risk of manually replacing the welding strips 1 is lower.
[0041] In some embodiments, the multifunctional control operation panel 8 is used to control the transmission belt to control the moving direction of the hook 4. For example, the multifunctional control operation panel 8 controls the hook 4 to move upward, downward, horizontally to the left, and horizontally to the right.
[0042] In some embodiments, the multifunctional control operation panel 8 is also used to control the moving direction of the pushing device 7. For example, the multifunctional control operation panel 8 controls the pushing device 7 to approach the mounting plate 6 or to move away from the mounting plate 6.
[0043] The multifunctional control operation panel 8 is a human-machine interaction device and can be hung on the side of the string welding machine.
[0044] The pushing device 7 is pushed forward and backward by the transmission ring 11. Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a screw rod 10 is arranged on the bracket 9, and the bracket 9 is placed vertically and facing the plane where the track 3 is located. The screw rod 10 is arranged one by one with the fixed shaft 2, and a transmission ring 11 is sleeved on each screw rod 10. Each transmission ring 11 is controlled by a motor (not shown, named as an external motor for distinction) to move forward and backward along the screw rod 10. The transmission ring 11 is fixedly connected to the pushing device 7, so that the pushing device 7 is controlled to move forward and backward. The rotation direction and rotation angle of each external motor are controlled by the multi-function control operation panel 8, so that the movement direction and distance of the transmission ring 11 along the screw rod 10 are controllable. The rotational motion of the external motor is converted into the forward and backward movement of the transmission ring 11. This part belongs to the common knowledge in the field and will not be further described here.
[0045] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the mechanical connection structure between the motor 5 and the hook 4 and the mechanical connection structure between the external motor and the pushing device 7, and they can be designed according to conventional technical means in the field.

Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
