Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel cord production, in particular to a tension control device for paying off a steel cord core wire. Background Art

[0002] In the twisting of multi-layer steel cords, the core and surface yarns are typically composed of different numbers and sizes of monofilaments. Consequently, their payoff tension requirements may differ. For example, the core yarn, as the structural framework of the steel cord, may require greater tension to maintain stability and structural integrity, while the surface yarns, which serve more as covering and protection, may require less tension.

[0003] During the twisting process, the core wire is usually located inside and is subjected to more extrusion and friction, so its tension fluctuation may be more significant. The tension change from full wheel to bottom of the wheel is 3kg to 4kg, so the cord is prone to loose twist during the twisting process. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to better understand the technical content of the present invention, specific embodiments are given and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Combine Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a tension control device for paying off a steel cord core wire, comprising a first wire passing wheel 101 , a second wire passing wheel 102 , a mounting plate 200 and a driver 20 .

[0027] Combine Figure 2 As shown, a first tension wheel 201, a second tension wheel 202 and a third tension wheel 203 are provided on the first side of the mounting plate 200. The first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202 are respectively located on both sides of the third tension wheel 203. The core wire led out from the I-shaped wheel 100 passes around the first wire passing wheel 101, the second tension wheel 202, the third tension wheel 203, the second tension wheel 202 and the second wire passing wheel 102 in turn.

[0028] When the core wire released by the I-spool 100 is released from a full wheel state to an empty wheel state, the core wire tension will undergo a large change. Therefore, the change in the wire tension is monitored and controlled by the first wire passing wheel 101, the second tension wheel 202, and the third tension wheel 203.

[0029] Specifically, the driver 20 is connected to the second side of the mounting plate 200, and the cord direction of the axis of the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202 is defined as the first direction. The driver 20 can drive the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 to move along the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0030] Thus, when the driver 20 drives the shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 to move in the second direction, the spacing between the third tension wheel 203 and the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202 changes, thereby changing the tension of the core wire passing through the three tension wheels.

[0031] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is provided outside the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 , and the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure value exerted on the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 .

[0032] Specifically, when the core wire passes around the third tension wheel 203, the tension of the core wire will be reflected at the rotating shaft of the third tension wheel 203, and the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure on the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203, so the size of the core wire tension at this time can be obtained.

[0033] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the first tension wheel 201, the second tension wheel 202, and the third tension wheel 203 are arranged in a triangle. As a result, when the wire core passes through the first tension wheel 201, the third tension wheel 203, and the second tension wheel 202, the bending of the wire core exerts pressure on the third tension wheel 203, and this pressure can reflect the current tension.

[0034] The first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202 are arranged at fixed positions on the mounting plate 200 , and both the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 200 .

[0035] Furthermore, a waist-shaped hole 204 is provided on the mounting plate 200 , and the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 passes through the waist-shaped hole 204 , and the length direction of the waist-shaped hole 204 is toward the second direction.

[0036] Thus, when the driver 20 adjusts the position of the third tension wheel 203, the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 can move in the waist-shaped hole 204. It should be understood that when the third tension wheel 203 is close to the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202, the tension of the core wire is greater, and when the third tension wheel 203 is away from the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202, the tension of the core wire is smaller.

[0037] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 is connected to the guide block 11 and the slider 12 in sequence toward the direction of the driver 20. The driver 20 includes a first cover 21, a second cover 22 and a motor 23. The first cover 21 is located on the outside of the guide block 11, and the second cover 22 is located on the outside of the slider 12. The output end of the motor 23 is provided with a screw rod 24, which is threadedly connected to the slider 12 for driving the slider 12 to move along the second direction.

[0038] In this way, when the motor 23 drives the screw rod 24 to rotate, the slider 12 moves along the axial direction of the screw rod 24, that is, the second direction, so that the rotating shaft 10 of the third tension wheel 203 is displaced along the second direction. The third tension wheel 203 can approach or move away from the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202, thereby changing the tension of the core wire when it passes around the tension wheel.

[0039] Furthermore, a guide rod 13 is provided in the second cover body 22 , the guide block 11 is slidably connected to the guide rod 13 , and the guide rod 13 is arranged along the second direction.

[0040] Thus, the outer wall of the guide block 11 is provided with a groove, and the guide rod 13 is arranged in the groove. When the guide block 11 moves along the second direction, the guide rod 13 supports and limits the guide block 11 .

[0041] Specifically, the rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the guide block 11, and the pressure sensor is arranged between the rotating shaft 10 and the guide block 11. In this way, the pressure sensor can detect the pressure between the rotating shaft 10 and the guide block 11, and this pressure can reflect the tension of the core wire.

[0042] Combine Figure 5 As shown, the controller is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the motor 23. The controller is configured to control the driver 20 to change the position of the rotating shaft 10 based on the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor so that the pressure value of the rotating shaft 10 is within a preset range.

[0043] Specifically, when the pressure sensor detects a pressure greater than a preset value, that is, the tension of the core wire is greater than the preset value, the motor 23 is controlled to rotate forward. At this time, the third tension wheel 203 moves away from the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202, so that the tension becomes smaller. When the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is less than the preset value, that is, the tension of the core wire is less than the preset value, the motor 23 is controlled to flip. At this time, the third tension wheel 203 is close to the first tension wheel 201 and the second tension wheel 202, so that the tension increases. When the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is within the preset range, the motor 23 does not rotate, and the third tension wheel 203 is stable at the preset position.

[0044] In combination with the above embodiments, the utility model provides a tension detection and adjustment structure consisting of three passing wheels on the path of the core wire pay-off. The third passing wheel can move. When the wire core passes around the three passing wheels, pressure is generated on the third passing wheel. The pressure sensor detects the current pressure on the passing wheel. If the pressure does not meet the preset value, the third passing wheel is controlled to move closer to or away from the other two passing wheels, so that the tension of the wire core passing around the three passing wheels changes, so as to compensate for the tension change during the pay-off process.

[0045] While the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
