Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass fiber blanking and winding equipment, in particular to a glass fiber blanking and winding equipment for non-metallic mineral products. Background Technique

[0002] Glass fiber is an excellent inorganic non-metallic material with a wide variety of types. Its advantages are good insulation, high heat resistance, good corrosion resistance, and high mechanical strength. However, its disadvantages are brittleness and poor wear resistance. It is made from six ores, namely pyrophyllite, quartz sand, limestone, dolomite, ulexite, and boromagnesite, through processes such as high-temperature melting, wire drawing, winding, and weaving. The diameter of its single filament is several microns to more than twenty microns, which is 1 / 20 - 1 / 5 of a hair strand. Each bundle of fiber rovings consists of hundreds or even thousands of single filaments. Glass fiber is usually used as a reinforcing material, electrical insulation material, heat insulation and thermal insulation material, and circuit board substrate in various fields of the national economy.

[0003] Currently, when blanking glass fiber for non-metallic mineral products, winding equipment is required. However, during the use of existing glass fiber blanking and winding equipment for non-metallic mineral products, usually after the winding drum is fully wound, the winding drum is removed, and then a new winding drum is placed on. This is time-consuming and laborious, greatly reducing the winding efficiency of the glass fiber yarn, and it is not possible to replace the winding drum while winding. For this reason, we propose a glass fiber blanking and winding equipment for non-metallic mineral products. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: A glass fiber feeding and winding device for non-metallic mineral products, including a bottom plate. At both the left and right ends of the top of the bottom plate, there are vertical plates with through grooves opened on the inner surface of the front ends. At the rear end on the left side of the vertical plate at the left end of the top of the bottom plate, a control switch is fixedly installed. At the middle left side of the vertical plate at the left end of the top of the bottom plate, a driving motor is fixedly installed. The output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the end of the rotating shaft away from the driving motor is movably connected to the left side of the vertical plate at the right end of the top of the bottom plate through a bearing. At both the left and right ends of the outer surface of the rotating shaft, there are fixedly connected three-tooth rotating plates. At the three ends of the three-tooth rotating plate away from the rotating shaft, there are arc-shaped positioning seats. At both ends of the arc-shaped positioning seat away from the three-tooth rotating plate, there are threaded connection bolts. The arc-shaped positioning seat is fixedly installed with an arc-shaped positioning plate through the connection bolts. Between the arc-shaped positioning plate and the arc-shaped positioning seat, there is a winding roller with winding gears fixedly connected to both the left and right sides. On both the left and right sides of the bottom plate, there are fixedly connected fixing plates. On the top of the fixing plate, a first electric push rod is fixedly installed. The extending end of the first electric push rod is fixedly connected to an installation plate that slides inside the through groove. On the top of the installation plate, a rotating motor is fixedly installed. The output end of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to a driving gear that meshes with the winding gear.

[0006] Preferably, the driving motor is a servo motor, and the rotation angle of the driving motor each time is one hundred and twenty degrees.

[0007] Preferably, at the upper ends of the opposite sides of the two vertical plates, there are opened movable grooves. At the front and rear ends of the inner cavity of the movable groove away from the three-tooth rotating plate, there are fixedly connected springs. The end of the spring close to the three-tooth rotating plate is fixedly connected to a U-shaped clamping plate. At the middle of the inner cavity of the movable groove away from the three-tooth rotating plate, an electromagnet is fixedly installed. At the middle of the side of the U-shaped clamping plate close to the spring, there is embedded an iron plate.

[0008] Preferably, the U-shaped clamping plate is adapted to the three teeth of the three-tooth rotating plate, and guiding inclined surfaces are provided at both the top and bottom of the U-shaped clamping plate close to the three-tooth rotating plate.

[0009] Preferably, the iron plate and the electromagnet are of the same size and are corresponding to each other.

[0010] Preferably, at the rear end of the top of the bottom plate, there are fixedly installed two symmetrically arranged second electric push rods. The extending end of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to a bearing plate. At both the left and right ends of the top of the bearing plate, there are fixedly connected arc-shaped supporting plates.

[0011] Preferably, a protective rubber pad is provided inside the arc-shaped supporting plate, and the arc-shaped supporting plate is located directly below the winding roller at the inner lower end of the three-tooth rotating plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The utility model drives the driving gear to rotate by turning on the rotating motor through the control switch, and with the assistance of the winding gear, it can drive the winding roller to rotate within the corresponding arc-shaped positioning seat and arc-shaped positioning plate, so as to realize the winding operation of the glass fiber blanking. After the winding is completed, the rotating motor is turned off by the control switch, and the first electric push rod is controlled to drive the mounting plate to slide smoothly downward within the through groove, so that the driving gear and the winding gear are separated. Then, the driving motor is turned on by the control switch to drive the rotating shaft to rotate 120 degrees. When the rotating shaft rotates, it can drive the three-tooth rotating plate to rotate synchronously, so that the wound winding roller moves to the lower end inside the three-tooth rotating plate, and the unwound winding roller just replenishes and enters the winding position. Then, the first electric push rod is controlled by the control switch to drive the mounting plate to slide smoothly upward within the through groove, so that the driving gear and the winding gear are meshed again. Then, the rotating motor is turned on by the control switch, and thus, with the assistance of the driving gear and the winding gear, the continuous winding work of the winding roller is realized. After the wound winding roller moves to the lower end inside the three-tooth rotating plate, after the staff removes the connecting bolts, the arc-shaped positioning plate and the arc-shaped positioning seat are separated, so that the wound winding roller can be replaced, and the winding work of the glass fiber can be carried out while replacing the winding cylinder, which is convenient for people to use.

[0014] 2. Through the setting of the U-shaped clamping plate, the utility model can limit the position of the three-tooth rotating plate, ensuring the stability of the three-tooth rotating plate during the winding process of the winding roller. Before replacing the winding roller after the winding is completed, the electromagnet is energized by the control switch. After the electromagnet is energized, it can adsorb the iron plate and drive the U-shaped clamping plate to retract into the movable groove and compress the spring, giving up the limitation on the three-tooth rotating plate. After the three-tooth rotating plate rotates 180 degrees, the electromagnet is powered off by the control switch. Then, the compressed spring can drive the U-shaped clamping plate to reset, so as to limit the rotated three-tooth rotating plate again, ensuring the stability of the operation of this equipment.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a non-metallic mineral product glass fiber blanking and winding device, including a bottom plate 1. Both the left and right ends of the top of the bottom plate 1 are fixedly connected with vertical plates 2 with through slots 11 opened on the inner surface of the front end. The left rear end of the vertical plate 2 on the left end of the top of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed with a control switch 6. The left middle end of the vertical plate 2 on the left end of the top of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed with a drive motor 4. The drive motor 4 is a servo motor, and the rotation angle of the drive motor 4 each time is 120 degrees. The output end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 8, and the end of the rotating shaft 8 far from the drive motor 4 is movably connected to the left side of the vertical plate 2 at the right end of the top of the bottom plate 1 through a bearing. Both the left and right ends of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 8 are fixedly connected with three-tooth rotating plates 9. Arc-shaped positioning seats 24 are arranged at the three ends of the three-tooth rotating plates 9 far from the rotating shaft 8. Connecting bolts 25 are threadedly connected to both ends of the arc-shaped positioning seats 24 far from the three-tooth rotating plates 9. Arc-shaped positioning plates 14 are fixedly installed on the arc-shaped positioning seats 24 through the connecting bolts 25. A winding roller 7 with winding gears 5 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides is arranged between the arc-shaped positioning plates 14 and the arc-shaped positioning seats 24. Both the left and right sides of the bottom plate 1 are fixedly connected with fixed plates 3. The top of the fixed plate 3 is fixedly installed with a first electric push rod 12. The extending end of the first electric push rod 12 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 13 that slides inside the through slot 11. The top of the mounting plate 13 is fixedly installed with a rotating motor 10. The output end of the rotating motor 10 is fixedly connected with a drive gear 23 that meshes with the winding gear 5.

[0026] Technical solution: By controlling the switch 6 to turn on the rotary motor 10 to drive the driving gear 23 to rotate, and with the assistance of the winding gear 5, the winding roller 7 can be driven to rotate within the corresponding arc-shaped positioning seat 24 and arc-shaped positioning plate 14, so as to realize the winding operation of the glass fiber blanking. After the winding is completed, the rotary motor 10 is turned off by the control switch 6, and the first electric push rod 12 is controlled to drive the mounting plate 13 to slide smoothly downward within the through groove 11, so that the driving gear 23 and the winding gear 5 are separated. Then, the driving motor 4 is turned on by the control switch 6 to drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate 120 degrees. When the rotating shaft 8 rotates, it can drive the three-tooth rotating plate 9 to rotate synchronously, so that the wound winding roller 7 moves to the lower end inside the three-tooth rotating plate 9, and the unwound winding roller 7 just replenishes and enters the winding position. Then, the first electric push rod 12 is controlled by the control switch 6 to drive the mounting plate 13 to slide smoothly upward within the through groove 11, so that the driving gear 23 and the winding gear 5 are engaged again. Then, the rotary motor 10 is turned on by the control switch 6, and with the assistance of the driving gear 23 and the winding gear 5, the continuous winding work of the winding roller 7 is realized. After the wound winding roller 7 moves to the lower end inside the three-tooth rotating plate 9, the staff can separate the arc-shaped positioning plate 14 and the arc-shaped positioning seat 24 by removing the connecting bolts 25, so as to replace the wound winding roller 7, and realize the winding work of the glass fiber while replacing the winding cylinder, which is convenient for people to use.

[0027] Embodiment 2

[0028] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as shown in the present utility model Figures 1-3 shown, the upper ends of the opposite sides of the two vertical plates 2 are provided with movable grooves 20. Both the front and rear ends of the inner cavity of the movable groove 20 far from the three-tooth rotating plate 9 are fixedly connected with springs 19. One end of the spring 19 close to the three-tooth rotating plate 9 is fixedly connected with a U-shaped clamping plate 18. An electromagnet 21 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the movable groove 20 far from the three-tooth rotating plate 9. An iron plate 22 is embedded in the middle of the side of the U-shaped clamping plate 18 close to the spring 19. The U-shaped clamping plate 18 is adapted to the three teeth of the three-tooth rotating plate 9, and guide inclined surfaces are provided at both the top and bottom of the U-shaped clamping plate 18 close to the three-tooth rotating plate 9. The iron plate 22 and the electromagnet 21 are of the same size and correspond to each other.

[0029] This technical solution: Through the setting of the U-shaped clamping plate 18, the position of the three-tooth rotating plate 9 can be limited, ensuring the stability of the three-tooth rotating plate 9 during the winding process of the winding roller 7. Before the winding roller 7 needs to be replaced after winding is completed, the control switch 6 energizes the electromagnet 21. After the electromagnet 21 is energized, it can adsorb the iron plate 22 and drive the U-shaped clamping plate 18 to retract into the movable groove 20 and release the limitation on the three-tooth rotating plate 9, compressing the spring 19. After the three-tooth rotating plate 9 rotates 180 degrees, the control switch 6 de-energizes the electromagnet 21. Then, the compressed spring 19 can drive the U-shaped clamping plate 18 to reset, further limiting the rotated three-tooth rotating plate 9 and ensuring the stability of the operation of this equipment.

[0030] Embodiment III

[0031] Based on Embodiment I, as shown in the present utility model Figures 1-3 Two symmetrically arranged second electric push rods 15 are fixedly installed at the rear end of the top of the bottom plate 1. The extending end of the second electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected with a bearing plate 16.

A protective rubber pad is arranged inside the arc-shaped supporting plates 17, and the arc-shaped supporting plates 17 are located directly below the winding roller 7 at the lower inner side of the three-tooth rotating plate 9.

[0032] This technical solution: When the control switch 6 controls the first electric push rod 12 to drive the bearing plate 16 to extend, the arc-shaped supporting plate 17 can be made to approach the wound winding roller 7, thereby providing assistance for the replacement of the winding roller 7 and facilitating the staff to disassemble the connecting bolts 25 and the arc-shaped positioning plate 14. When the control switch 6 controls the first electric push rod 12 to drive the bearing plate 16 to retract, the height of the wound winding roller 7 can be reduced, facilitating the staff to transfer it and improving the safety during the use of this equipment.
