[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0035] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 2 The unloading mechanism provided in this embodiment includes a mounting base 1 and a first drive assembly 2 for driving the mounting base 1 to move horizontally. The mounting base 1 is equipped with an unloading arm 3 and a second drive assembly 4 for driving the unloading arm 3 to rotate vertically. The unloading arm 3 is detachably connected to the roll 100 containing the material to be unloaded via a limiting assembly 5, facilitating the unloading arm 3 to pick up and unload the material. In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 2 may include a linear drive motor or a horizontal drive cylinder, and the second drive assembly 4 may include a rotary drive motor.

[0038] It is understandable that by driving the mounting base 1 to move horizontally via the first drive assembly 2 and driving the unloading arm 3 to rotate vertically via the second drive assembly 4, the unloading arm 3 can move to any position and connect with the roll 100 of the material to be unloaded at any position. Under the drive of the first drive assembly 2, the unloading arm 3 can remove the material to be unloaded from the winding shaft, thereby completing the unloading action. The unloading operation is highly efficient, and the overall structure of the unloading mechanism is simple, occupying little space, which helps to reduce production costs. The unloading mechanism can realize the unloading operation of the material to be unloaded at any position, and has high versatility and applicability.

[0039] Specifically, the limiting component 5 includes a first limiting structure 51 disposed on the unloading arm 3 and a second limiting structure 52 disposed on the drum 100, the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 being engaged and connected. In some embodiments, the first limiting structure 51 can be a protrusion and the second limiting structure 52 can be a groove; in other embodiments, the first limiting structure 51 can be a groove and the second limiting structure 52 can be a protrusion.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first limiting structure 51 is a limiting engagement portion extending along the length of the unloading arm 3 from its end, and the second limiting structure 52 is a limiting groove formed by the inward recess of the edge of the drum 100. The limiting engagement portion engages in the limiting groove. Through the engaging connection between the limiting engagement portion and the limiting groove, the connection between the unloading arm 3 and the drum 100 can be made stable and firm, effectively preventing the rolled material from falling off during the unloading process, which is beneficial to improving the stability and safety of the unloading operation.

[0041] In some embodiments, both the limiting engagement portion and the limiting groove can have structures that enhance the connection and holding force between them, for example, an L-shaped protrusion. When the unloading arm 3 is connected to the drum 100, the limiting engagement portion engages in the limiting groove, and the L-shaped protrusion on the limiting engagement portion interlocks with the L-shaped protrusion in the limiting groove, making the drum 100 more stably connected to the unloading arm 3; when the unloading arm 3 is separated from the drum 100, the L-shaped protrusion on the limiting engagement portion separates from the L-shaped protrusion in the limiting groove, the limiting engagement portion disengages from the limiting groove, and the drum 100 is unloaded from the unloading arm 3. In a specific implementation, it can be set that when the unloading arm 3 rotates clockwise, the limiting engagement portion engages with the limiting groove; when the unloading arm 3 rotates counterclockwise, the limiting engagement portion separates from the limiting groove. When the unloading arm 3 rotates clockwise, it can pick up the material; when the unloading arm 3 rotates counterclockwise, it can unload the material.

[0042] The unloading mechanism of this embodiment, through the cooperation of the first drive component and the second drive component, can realize the movement of the unloading arm to any position, thereby enabling the unloading mechanism to pick up and unload the roll material to be unloaded at any position. It has strong versatility, high unloading efficiency, and a simple structure with small space occupation. Through the locking connection of the first limit structure and the second limit structure, the connection between the unloading arm and the roll can be made stable and firm, effectively preventing the roll material from falling during the unloading process, which helps to improve the stability and safety of the unloading operation.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] As a further optimization of Example 1, refer to Figures 3 to 5 A distance sensor 11 is provided on the mounting base 1, which is used for positioning the mounting base 1 during horizontal movement. In one embodiment, the distance sensor 11 is located on the mounting base 1 near the rotation axis of the unloading arm 3. The distance sensor 11 is used to measure the distance between the rotation axis of the unloading arm 3 and the second limiting structure 52, thereby positioning the mounting base 1 to a position corresponding to the roll of material to be unloaded, and positioning the unloading arm 3 to a position corresponding to the second limiting structure 52. Then, the unloading arm 3 is driven to rotate by the second drive assembly 4, so that the first limiting structure 51 can be accurately engaged in the second limiting structure 52, realizing the precise picking and unloading of material by the unloading arm 3.

[0045] In some embodiments, a plurality of positioning sensors 12 are arranged on the mounting base 1 along the rotation direction of the unloading arm 3. The positioning sensors 12 are used for positioning the unloading arm 3 during rotation. Through the precise positioning of the unloading arm 3 by the positioning sensors 12, the unloading arm 3 can be moved quickly and accurately to the position of the drum 100, and the first limiting structure 51 is engaged in the second limiting structure 52, further improving the accuracy and efficiency of the unloading operation.

[0046] In one implementation, the positioning sensor 12 can be an optical switch. In a specific implementation, the unloading arm 3 has a baffle structure that can cut off the optical path of the optical switch. Through the rotational movement of the unloading arm 3, the baffle structure can pass through the optical switch, thereby cutting off the optical path of the optical switch, triggering the optical switch, and realizing the positioning of the unloading arm 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, there are four ranging sensors 11 and four positioning sensors 12. The four ranging sensors 11 are arranged around the rotation axis of the unloading arm 3, located at four positions: above the left side, below the left side, above the right side, and below the right side. The four positioning sensors 12 are also arranged around the rotation axis of the unloading arm, with each positioning sensor 12 corresponding to each ranging sensor 11. Therefore, the unloading arm 3 can be positioned in four different locations, enabling the unloading of coiled material located at four different orientations (above the left side, below the left side, above the right side, and below the right side) and effectively improving unloading efficiency.

[0048] The unloading mechanism in this embodiment, by setting a distance measuring sensor, can accurately position the mounting base to the position corresponding to the roll to be unloaded, so that the unloading arm can be accurately aligned with the second limiting structure. Then, by using a positioning sensor to position the rotation of the unloading arm, the unloading arm can be quickly and accurately connected to the roll, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the unloading operation. By setting multiple distance measuring sensors and multiple positioning sensors, precise positioning of the roll to be unloaded at different positions can be achieved, further improving the efficiency of the unloading operation.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] As a further optimization of Example 2, refer to Figures 6 to 8 The first drive assembly 2 includes a first drive motor 21, and the second drive assembly 4 includes a second drive motor 41. In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 2 further includes a first geared motor 22 that works in conjunction with the first drive motor 21, and the second drive assembly 4 further includes a second geared motor 42 that works in conjunction with the second drive motor 41. The cooperation between the first geared motor 22 and the first drive motor 21 allows for better control of the moving speed of the mounting base 1, facilitating precise positioning of the mounting base 1. Similarly, the cooperation between the second geared motor 42 and the second drive motor 41 allows for better control of the rotational speed of the unloading arm 3, also facilitating precise positioning of the unloading arm 3.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 2 further includes a guide rail 23, with the mounting base 1 slidably connected to the guide rail 23. The first drive motor 21 drives the mounting base 1 to move along the guide rail 23. The guide rail 23 provides guidance and limiting, making the horizontal movement of the mounting base 1 more stable. In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 2 may also include a chain and a sprocket, both mounted on the guide rail 23. The mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to the chain, and the first drive motor 21 drives the sprocket to rotate, causing the sprocket to move the chain, thereby driving the mounting base 1 to move horizontally along the guide rail 23.

[0052] In the specific implementation process, in order to enable the unloading arm 3 to more smoothly remove the coil from the take-up shaft 200, the length L1 of the guide rail 23 can be set to be greater than the length L2 of the take-up shaft 200 where the coil to be unloaded is located. This ensures that when the first drive assembly 2 drives the mounting base 1 to move to the end of the guide rail 23, the coil is also just released from the take-up shaft 200, thereby further improving the efficiency of the unloading operation.

[0053] In this embodiment, the take-up shaft 200 is a differential shaft. One end of the take-up shaft 200 is driven and connected to the take-up drive assembly 300, and the other end is connected to the support assembly 400. The support assembly 400 includes a support baffle and a cylinder for driving the support baffle to move up and down. During take-up, the support baffle is connected to the take-up shaft 200, providing support and fixation. During unloading, the cylinder drives the support baffle to move downward, allowing the unloading arm 3 to smoothly remove the roll of material from the take-up shaft 200, avoiding interference with the unloading operation of the unloading arm 3, and further improving the efficiency of the unloading operation.
