Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding wire production and packaging technology, specifically to a system for manufacturing metal welding wire spools. Background Technology
[0002] Welding wire spools used for finished welding wire packaging are usually made of plastic or metal. Plastic spools are manufactured by injection molding, while metal spools are made by bending and welding 4mm steel wire to form a skeleton disc structure. They can have a center hole or not. Metal spools with a center hole are composed of a variety of outer rings, inner rings, spokes, and transverse ribs, which are welded together in a specific combination. The types and number of components are numerous, and each component needs to be manufactured by a separate device and undergoes two welding processes to complete. This results in a complex structure for the device used to manufacture metal spools with a center hole, and some are even semi-automatic structures that require manual intervention to connect the various steps. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0016] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a manufacturing system for metal welding wire spools, including a wire feeding machine A1, a wire feeding machine B5, a wire feeding machine C6, a coiling and butt welding machine A3, a coiling and butt welding machine B4, a cutting machine 7, a welding machine 8, a stacking machine 9, a first transfer mechanism disposed between the welding machine 8 and the coiling and butt welding machine A3, and a gripper mechanism 82 disposed on the welding machine 8. The outer spool 12 and the inner spool 11 are formed by coiling, cutting, and finally butt welding the welding wire. Due to their large diameter difference, they need to be manufactured separately by two coiling and butt welding machines and two wire feeding machines. The spokes 13 and the transverse ribs 14 are formed by straightening and cutting the steel wire to a fixed length. The structure is relatively simple, requiring only one cutting machine 7 and one wire feeding machine. The wire feeding machines A1, B5, and C6 are all equipped with I-beam reels 2. The wire feeding machines A1, A3, B4, and B5 are arranged in a straight line. The wire feeding machine C6 is arranged in a straight line with the wire feeding machine B5. The line connecting the positions of the wire feeding machines C6 and B5 is perpendicular to the line connecting the positions of the B4 and B5. The stacker 9, welder 8, cutter 7, and wire feeding machine C6 are arranged in a straight line. The stacker 9, welder 8, cutter 7, wire feeding machines A1, A3, and B are all located on the same side of the line connecting the positions of the wire feeding machines C6 and B5. A pallet 10 is arranged at the bottom of the stacker 9.
[0017] The above arrangement simplifies the manufacturing system and enables fully automated production of metal welding wire spools 16.
[0018] A metal welding wire spool has two outer rings 12 and two inner rings 11. One inner ring 11, one outer ring 12 and eight spokes 13 form a side ring assembly 15. The welding machine 9 welds all the connection points of the side ring assembly 15 together. Finally, the welding machine 8 assembles and welds the two side ring assemblies 15 and the twelve transverse ribs 14 (divided into eight outer transverse ribs and four inner transverse ribs) into a metal welding wire spool 16. The stacker 9 neatly stacks the metal welding wire spool 16 on the pallet 10.
[0019] Preferably, the welding machine 8 is equipped with a horizontally arranged turntable A85 and a vertically arranged turntable B86. The turntable A85 is equipped with multiple pallet clamps A, which can perform different processes simultaneously. The turntable B86 is equipped with multiple pallet clamps B, which can perform different processes simultaneously, so as to effectively improve efficiency.
[0020] Preferably, the turntable A85 is provided with 3 pallet clamps A, and the turntable A85 rotates 120° clockwise after each process is completed. The turntable B86 is provided with 4 pallet clamps B, and the turntable B86 rotates 90° counterclockwise after each process is completed.
[0021] Preferably, the welding machine 8 is provided with a feeding mechanism 83 at one end near the cutting machine 7. The feeding mechanism 83 feeds the spokes 13 and cross ribs 14 manufactured by the cutting machine 7 to turntable A85 and turntable B86 respectively. The welding machine 8 is provided with a unloading mechanism 84 at one end near the stacker 9. The unloading mechanism 84 unloads the metal welding wire spool 16 manufactured by the welding machine 8 to the stacker 9.
[0022] Preferably, the first transfer mechanism is a slide rail 81. One end of the slide rail 81 is arranged at the discharge end of the ring welding machine A3, and the other end of the slide rail 81 is arranged at the feeding position of the inner ring 11 of the turntable A85 of the welding machine 8. The inner ring 11 falls into the corresponding tray clamp A of the turntable A85 along the slide rail 81.
[0023] The gripper mechanism 82 picks up the outer ring 12 made by the ring welding machine B4 and places it on the corresponding tray fixture A of the turntable A85 of the welding machine 8. The outer ring 12 and the corresponding inner ring 11 are arranged concentrically. The gripper mechanism picks up the side ring assembly made on the tray fixture A and rotates it 90° to place it on the corresponding tray fixture B.
[0024] Working principle: The inner ring 11 manufactured by the ring welding machine A3 falls into the slide 81 and is conveyed to the center position of the pallet clamp A on the turntable A85 of the welding machine 8. The gripper mechanism 82 conveys the outer ring 12 manufactured by the ring welding machine B4 to the corresponding pallet clamp A on the turntable A85. The inner ring 11 and outer ring 12 are placed concentrically. The feeding of the inner ring 11 and outer ring 12 is completed. Then, the turntable A85 rotates clockwise by a specified angle, and the pallet clamp A containing the inner ring 11 and outer ring 12 rotates to a position close to the cutting machine 7. The spokes 13 cut by the cutting machine 7 are fed to the position between the inner ring 11 and outer ring 12 on the pallet clamp A containing the inner ring 11 and outer ring 12 through the feeding mechanism 83. Each time a spoke 13 is loaded, the corresponding pallet clamp A rotates 45° until all 8 spokes 13 are loaded, and the feeding of the spokes 13 is completed. The turntable A85 then rotates again. Rotating clockwise by a specified angle, the corresponding pallet clamp A rotates to the welding station, where the inner ring 11, outer ring 12, and spokes 13 are welded into a side ring assembly 15. After welding, the turntable A85 rotates clockwise again by a specified angle, and the corresponding pallet clamp A rotates back to the initial feeding position of the inner ring 11 and outer ring 12. The gripper mechanism 82 removes the side ring assembly 15 from the corresponding pallet clamp A and rotates it 90° before sending it to the pallet clamp B of the turntable B86. The side ring assembly 15 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the pallet clamp A of the turntable A85 becomes idle, ready for the next feeding cycle of the inner ring 11 and outer ring 12. The turntable A85 is equipped with multiple pallet clamps A. Preferably, the turntable A85 is equipped with four pallet clamps A. Each pallet clamp A of the turntable A85 performs the above actions.
[0025] After two side ring assemblies 15 are sequentially loaded into the tray clamp B of turntable B86, turntable B86 rotates counterclockwise by a specified angle. At this time, the tray clamp B with the two side ring assemblies 15 rotates to a position close to the cutting machine 7. The transverse ribs 14 cut by the cutting machine 7 are fed to the corresponding tray clamp B through the feeding mechanism 83 until all 12 transverse ribs 14 are loaded into their corresponding positions. Then, turntable B86 rotates counterclockwise by a specified angle again, and the corresponding tray clamp B rotates to the welding station. The side ring assemblies 16 and the 12 transverse ribs 14 are welded into a metal welding wire spool 16. After welding is completed... After completion, the 12 horizontal ribs 14 include 8 outer horizontal ribs and 4 inner horizontal ribs. The turntable B rotates counterclockwise again by a specified angle. The unloading mechanism 84 removes the metal welding wire spool 16 from the corresponding pallet clamp B and rotates it 90°. The stacker crane 9 grabs it and places it on the pallet 10. The pallet clamp B corresponding to the turntable B86 becomes idle, and the next cycle of feeding and welding of the horizontal ribs 14 can be carried out. The turntable B86 is equipped with multiple pallet clamps B. Preferably, the turntable B86 is equipped with 4 pallet clamps B. Each pallet clamp of the turntable B86 completes the above actions according to the above actions.
[0026] The stacker crane 9 horizontally stacks the metal welding wire spools 16 on the pallet 10, layer by layer, until the specified number and quantity of metal welding wire spools 16 are reached, and then stops.
[0027] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions and substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
