Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment, in particular to a straightening production line for strip products. Background Art

[0002] Copper tubes and copper busbars, as common strip-shaped products, require packaging according to customer requirements and product specifications after qualified production. Common packaging methods include bundling and then wrapping. Bundling involves using steel or plastic strapping to bundle a certain number of strip-shaped products together, while wrapping involves wrapping the bundled products with plastic film or paper tape to prevent damage during transportation and storage.

[0003] We have found that due to the use of cranes during the bundling and wrapping process, the lowered products are tilted and close together. When the tilted and close-fitting products enter the wrapping equipment, they may collide or rub against the wrapping equipment, causing poor equipment operation and even equipment failure, requiring shutdown for maintenance, which seriously affects packaging efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a straightening production line for strip products in order to solve the problems of the prior art.

[0005] A straightening production line for strip products in this solution includes a conveyor line and a lifting robot assembly arranged in the conveyor line, which includes multiple shovels. The shovels can be lifted and lowered and translated relative to the conveyor line. The lifting and lowering of the shovels are synchronous actions, and the translation of the shovels is an independent action.

[0006] Furthermore, the conveying line includes two independently arranged conveying devices, and the jacking robot assembly is arranged at the joining position of the two conveying devices.

[0007] Furthermore, a fixed lifting seat and a lifting beam sliding up and down inside the lifting seat are provided at the bottom of each shovel plate. A driving shaft and a protruding handle installed on the driving shaft are also provided at the bottom of the lifting seat.

[0008] Furthermore, all the driving shafts are connected via linkage shafts and couplings, and a driving arm is provided on at least one linkage shaft or driving shaft, and the end of the driving arm is connected to a hydraulic cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a translation guide rail is installed on the lifting beam, and the shovel plate slides with the translation guide rail; the shovel plates at both ends of the multiple shovel plates are provided with corresponding screw drive mechanisms for driving the shovel plates to translate, and all the shovel plates are connected by a swing rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a slide is provided at the bottom of the shovel plate, and pull plates are installed on both sides of the slide. The pull plates extend rearward and downward, and a fixed plate is installed at the bottom. A hinge shaft is provided on the fixed plate, and a swing seat is installed on the hinge shaft. The swing rod is connected to each swing seat.

[0011] Furthermore, a spring-loaded shaft and a sensor cooperating therewith are installed on the shovel plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the extension length of the shovel plate relative to the spring-moving shaft can be adjusted.

[0013] Beneficial effect: The utility model can effectively solve the problem of close contact and tilt of products through the lifting and translation of a shovel plate to straighten the production line of strip products, avoid collision and friction when the products enter the subsequent packaging equipment due to close contact and tilt problems, and improve the packaging efficiency of the products.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The illustrated straightening production line for strip-shaped products includes a conveyor line and a lifting robot assembly 2 disposed within the conveyor line. The assembly includes multiple shovels 201, which can be raised and lowered and translated relative to the conveyor line. The lifting of the shovels 201 is synchronized, while their translation is independent. This design allows products to be lifted and then lowered after being placed on the conveyor line and moved to the lifting robot assembly 2, resolving the issue of products being too close together. Furthermore, during the lifting process, each shovel 201 translates accordingly based on the product's actual condition, correcting the product's tilt and achieving the desired straightening effect.

[0024] In this embodiment, the conveyor line includes two independently arranged conveyor devices 101. Products are placed on the first conveyor device 101 and, when they reach the end of the conveyor, are lifted by the lifting robot assembly 2 and transported to the second conveyor device 101. This design effectively addresses the problem of close proximity. By placing the products on the first conveyor device 101 and then lifting them one by one by the lifting robot assembly 2, each product is freed from its original position, ensuring that it can be separated from other products.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bottom of each shovel plate 201 is equipped with a fixed lifting base 202 and a lifting beam 203 that slides up and down within the lifting base 202. Also located at the bottom of the lifting base 202 is a drive shaft 204 and a lug 205 mounted on the drive shaft 204. The rotation of the drive shaft 204 drives the lug 205 to raise and lower the lifting beam 203. This design enables precise and stable lifting and lowering of products, ensuring product stability during handling. Furthermore, this design facilitates maintenance, significantly reducing equipment failure rates and repair costs.

[0026] In this embodiment, all drive shafts 204 are connected via linkage shafts 206 and couplings. Furthermore, a drive arm 207 is provided on at least one linkage shaft 206 or drive shaft 204. The end of the drive arm 207 is connected to a hydraulic cylinder 208. The hydraulic cylinder 208 drives the drive arm 207 to rotate, thereby synchronously rotating the drive shafts 204 and linkage shafts 206, thereby achieving synchronized lifting and lowering of all shovel blades 201. This design ensures consistent movement between the drive shafts 204, reducing unbalanced or unstable handling caused by asynchronous drive shafts 204. Furthermore, the stable force transmission of the hydraulic cylinder 208 significantly improves the accuracy and stability of the entire handling system.

[0027] In this embodiment, a translation guide rail 209 is mounted on the lifting beam 203, and the shovel plate 201 slides in engagement with the translation guide rail 209. The shovel plates 201 at the ends of the multiple shovel plates 201 are equipped with corresponding screw drive mechanisms 211 for driving translation. All shovel plates 201 are connected by a swinging rod 210. In this design, all shovel plates 201 translate using the translation guide rail 209 and screw drive mechanism 211, ensuring both precision and stability. The shovel plates 201 at the ends, in particular, serve as the primary driving force, pushing the product forward and achieving the desired correction. The other shovel plates 201 are linked by a swinging rod 210, effectively protecting the product from friction damage on the center shovel plate 201. This design ensures both efficiency and product safety.

[0028] In this embodiment, a slide 212 is provided at the bottom of the shovel plate 201, with pull plates 213 mounted on either side of the slide 212. The screw drive mechanism 211 is also connected to the pull plates 213 to drive the translation of the shovel plate 201. The pull plate 213 extends downward and rearward, and is mounted at its bottom with a fixed plate 214. The fixed plate 214 is provided with a hinge shaft 215, and a swinging seat 216 is mounted on the hinge shaft 215. The swinging rod 210 is connected to each swinging seat 216. The pull plate 213 drives the movement of the shovel plate 201. The swinging seat 216 and the hinge shaft 215 provide connection, rotation, and restraint. This solves the problem of misalignment that can occur when different shovel plates 201 move synchronously.

[0029] In this embodiment, a spring-loaded shaft 217 and a corresponding sensor 218 are mounted on the shovel 201 to detect the status of the spring-loaded shaft 217. This is a key part of the entire straightening process. When the product reaches the end of the first conveyor 101, the shovels 201 at both ends begin to move, driven by the screw drive mechanism 211. Because the product is tilted, one of the spring-loaded shafts 217 will first contact the product and trigger the sensor 218. This shovel 201 then receives a signal to stop, while the other shovel 201 continues moving until it receives a signal to stop. This way, the entire device knows the product's tilt and can control the corresponding shovel 201 to begin translational movement, correcting the product. In addition to this design, the product's tilt angle can also be determined through, for example, a visual imaging system. However, a design using spring-loaded shafts 217 is undoubtedly more accurate and stable.

[0030] In this embodiment, the extension length of the shovel plate 201 relative to the spring-loaded shaft 217 is adjustable. Specifically, a sliding seat 219 is provided on the shovel plate 201, onto which the spring-loaded shaft 217 is mounted. The shovel plate 201 is then driven by a gear drive mechanism 220 located behind the shovel plate 201 and a rack 221 located on the sliding seat 219. This design primarily accommodates products of varying widths. When the width of the product being packaged changes, simply adjusting the extension length of the shovel plate 201 allows for smooth alignment of products of varying widths.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
