Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production equipment technology, and in particular to a reel packing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing reel designs, such as Figure 1 As shown, it mainly consists of a core 11 and two side rails 12 located on the upper and lower sides of the core 11, respectively. During packing, the conventional method is to vertically stack multiple reels in the vertical direction to form a stack, and then load these stacked reels into a box. However, because the side rails 12 of some reels are designed to be thin, the structural strength is insufficient, especially at the edges of the side rails 12 furthest from the core 11. When multiple reels are stacked, due to gravity, the edges of the side rails 12 are squeezed by the upper reels and lack sufficient support, making them prone to deformation. This deformation affects the subsequent use of the reels. Furthermore, this packing method fails to fully utilize the box space, limiting the number of reels that can be loaded into the box, which is detrimental to improving packing efficiency and space utilization. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a reel packing device that can combine multiple reels into a reel stack using a reel sorting device. The portion of the reel near the core can support the edge portion of the adjacent reel's retaining edge, which helps reduce the possibility of deformation of the retaining edge. Furthermore, the multiple reels in the stack are interleaved, making full use of the space inside the box, increasing the number of reels that can be loaded into the box, and improving the space utilization rate of the packing.

[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the reel packing equipment includes a frame, a reel sorting device, and a conveying device. The reel sorting device is disposed on the frame and includes a jig assembly and a first motion mechanism. The reel sorting device has a first preset direction and a second preset direction, and the first preset direction and the second preset direction are at a preset angle. Multiple jig assemblies are provided and distributed along the first preset direction. Each jig assembly includes multiple jig seats for positioning and placing reels. Multiple jig seats in the same jig assembly are distributed along the second preset direction. The first motion mechanism is kinetically connected to the jig seats and can drive the multiple jig seats to move closer to each other, so that one edge of the reel on each jig seat can be inserted between two edges of the reel on the adjacent jig seat, so that multiple reels are combined to form a reel layer assembly. The conveying device is disposed on the frame and can convey the reel layer assembly on the reel sorting device to the box.

[0005] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the reel packing equipment has at least the following beneficial effects: In use, multiple reels are placed one-to-one on multiple fixture seats. The first motion mechanism drives the multiple fixture seats to move closer to each other, so that one edge of the reel on each fixture seat can be inserted between the two edges of the reel on the adjacent fixture seat, forming an interlocking structure, so that multiple reels are combined to form a reel layer group. The conveying device transports the reel layer group on the reel sorting device to the box. Then the reel sorting device and the conveying device are reset and the above steps are repeated to stack the multiple reel layer groups layer by layer into the box, thereby realizing the packing operation of multiple reels. By setting up a coil sorting device, multiple coils are combined to form a coil stack. In the coil stack, due to the interlocking of multiple coils, the flanges of some coils are located on the upper side of adjacent coils, and the edge of the flange is close to the core of the adjacent coil. The structural strength of the core is better than that of the edge of the flange. Therefore, the part of the coil close to the core can be used to support the edge of the flange of the adjacent coil, which helps to reduce the possibility of deformation of the edge of the flange. In addition, the multiple coils in the coil stack are interlocked and the structure is compact, which can make full use of the space inside the box, increase the number of coils that can be loaded in the box, and improve the space utilization rate of the box.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first motion mechanism includes a first slide rail and a second slide rail. The first slide rail extends along a first preset direction, and the second slide rail extends along a second preset direction. Multiple first and second slide rails are provided. At most one of the multiple first slide rails is fixedly mounted on the frame, and the remaining first slide rails are slidably connected to the frame with a sliding direction parallel to the second preset direction. At most one of the multiple second slide rails is fixedly mounted on the frame, and the remaining second slide rails are slidably connected to the frame with a sliding direction parallel to the first preset direction. Multiple fixture seats in the same fixture group are slidably connected to the same second slide rail and are respectively linked with multiple first slide rails. The first motion mechanism also includes a first driver and a second driver. The first driver is used to drive the multiple first slide rails to move closer or further apart relative to each other, and can drive the corresponding fixture seat to move along the second slide rail through the first slide rail. The second driver is used to drive the multiple second slide rails to move closer or further apart relative to each other, and can drive the corresponding fixture group to move through the second slide rail.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first motion mechanism further includes a linkage seat, which is slidably connected to the frame and its sliding direction is parallel to the second preset direction. The linkage seat is provided with at least one first linkage groove, which extends along the second preset direction. The first slide rail is provided with a first linkage part. The first linkage part of at most one of the multiple first slide rails is fixedly engaged with the linkage seat. The first linkage parts of the remaining first slide rails are provided in the corresponding first linkage groove and can move along the first linkage groove. The first driver is drivenly connected to the linkage seat and can drive the linkage seat to move. The linkage seat can abut against the corresponding first linkage part through the groove wall of the first linkage groove to drive the corresponding first slide rail to move, so that the multiple first slide rails move closer or further apart relative to each other.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least some of the second slide rails are fixedly provided with hooks. When the relative movement between the multiple second slide rails moves away, the hooks can enable the two adjacent second slide rails to move together. When the relative movement between the multiple second slide rails moves closer, the hooks can release the linkage between the two adjacent second slide rails, so that one of the two adjacent second slide rails can move to push the other second slide rail to move.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixture base is provided with a placement surface for placing a reel, and the placement surface is provided with positioning posts for inserting the reel core.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the tray-arranging device further includes a limiting mechanism, which is provided corresponding to the fixture seat and is used to limit the reel on the fixture seat from disengaging from the positioning post.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting mechanism includes a rotating shaft and a third driver. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the frame, and a plurality of connecting seats are slidably disposed on the rotating shaft. A limiting plate is disposed on the connecting seat. The rotation axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the first preset direction or the second preset direction. The connecting seat can be linked with the second slide rail or the first slide rail. The third driver can drive the rotating shaft to rotate so as to drive the limiting plate to flip to the upper side of the corresponding fixture seat through the connecting seat.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixture seat is provided with a placement surface for placing a reel, and the placement surfaces of two adjacent fixture seats are parallel to each other.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the handling device includes a fork assembly and a second motion mechanism. The second motion mechanism is connected to the fork assembly and can drive the fork assembly to move. The fork assembly can be inserted into the reel layer or moved to the lower side of the reel layer.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second motion mechanism includes a movable seat, a first drive assembly, a second drive assembly, a third drive assembly, and a motion platform. The movable seat is slidably connected to the frame, and the fork assembly is slidably connected to the movable seat. The first drive assembly is disposed on the movable seat and drivenly connected to the fork assembly, and is used to drive the fork assembly to move up and down. The second drive assembly is disposed on the frame and drivenly connected to the movable seat, and is used to drive the movable seat to move horizontally. The motion platform is slidably connected to the frame and is used to place the box. The third drive assembly is disposed on the frame and drivenly connected to the motion platform, and is used to drive the motion platform to move horizontally.

[0015] This utility model also proposes a method for packing reels, which includes the following steps:

[0016] Laying the reels involves arranging multiple reels in a pre-defined planar array.

[0017] The reel arrangement process brings multiple reels closer together by relative movement, allowing one flange of each reel to be inserted between two flanges of the adjacent reel, thus combining multiple reels to form a reel layer group.

[0018] Packing involves assembling the coil layers obtained from the coil sorting step into boxes;

[0019] Stack the reels, repeating the above steps of placing, sorting, and packing the reels to stack multiple reel layers in a box.

[0020] The packing method for reels according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: By combining multiple reels to form a reel layer group in the reel layer group, since the multiple reels are interlocked, the edge of some reels will be located on the upper side of the adjacent reels and the edge of the edge will be close to the core of the adjacent reel. The structural strength of the core is better than that of the edge of the edge. Therefore, the part of the reel close to the core can be used to support the edge of the edge of the adjacent reel, which helps to reduce the possibility of deformation of the edge. In addition, the multiple reels in the reel layer group are interlocked and the structure is compact, which can make full use of the space inside the box, increase the number of reels that can be loaded in the box, and improve the space utilization rate of the packing.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A reel packing device includes a frame 100, a reel sorting device 200, and a conveying device 300. The reel sorting device 200 is mounted on the frame 100 and includes a jig assembly and a first motion mechanism 220. The reel sorting device 200 has a first preset direction and a second preset direction, which are at a preset angle to each other. Multiple jig assemblies are provided and distributed along the first preset direction. Each jig assembly includes multiple jig seats 210 for positioning and placing the reels 10. Multiple jigs in the same jig assembly... The seats 210 are distributed along the second preset direction. The first motion mechanism 220 is connected to the fixture seats 210 in a transmission manner, which can drive the relative movement of multiple fixture seats 210 to approach each other, so that one side 12 of the reel 10 on each fixture seat 210 can be inserted between the two side 12 of the reel 10 on the adjacent fixture seat 210, so that multiple reels 10 are combined to form a reel layer group 20. The conveying device 300 is provided on the frame 100 and can convey the reel layer group 20 on the reel sorting device 200 to the box 30.

[0044] Understandably, such as Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the first preset direction is the front-to-back direction, the second preset direction is the left-to-right direction, and the preset angle between the first and second preset directions is 90 degrees. Multiple jig seats 210 spaced apart along the left-to-right direction form a jig group. Multiple jig groups are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. The number of jig seats 210 along the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction is set according to the length and width of the box 30. The first motion mechanism 220 is used to drive the movement between the multiple jig seats 210. In use, multiple reels 10 are placed one-to-one on the multiple jig seats 210. The first motion mechanism 220 drives the multiple jig seats 210 to move closer to each other, so that one edge 12 of the reel 10 on each jig seat 210 (either the edge 12 on the upper side of the core 11 or the edge 12 on the lower side of the core 11) can be inserted between two edges 12 of the reel 10 on adjacent jig seats 210, forming an interlocking structure. (Refer to...) Figure 9 Multiple reels 10 are combined to form a reel layer 20. The transport device 300 transports the reel layer 20 from the reel sorting device 200 to the box 30. Then, the reel sorting device 200 and the transport device 300 reset and repeat the above steps to stack the multiple reel layer 20 layer by layer into the box 30, thus completing the boxing operation of multiple reels 10. By setting the reel sorting device 200 to combine multiple reels 10 into a reel layer 20, in which the multiple reels 10 are interleaved and interlocked, refer to... Figure 10In some cases, the upper side flange 12 of a reel 10 is located on the upper side of an adjacent reel 10, and the edge of the flange 12 is close to the core 11 of the adjacent reel 10. In other cases, the upper side flange 12 of a reel 10 is inserted between the two side flanges 12 of an adjacent reel 10, and its edge is also close to the core 11 of that adjacent reel 10. The structural strength at the core 11 is better than the structural strength at the edge of the flange 12. Therefore, the structure at the core 11 and the flange 12 near the core 11 is less prone to deformation. Figure 10 Taking the two reels 10 in the middle as an example, the reel 10 on the right side can use the part of the reel 10 on the left side near the core 11 to support the edge of its upper side guard 12. The edge of the upper side guard of the left side reel 10 is close to the core 11 of the right side reel 10. The structure at this point can be used to shield and protect the edge of the upper side guard of the left side reel 10, which helps to reduce the possibility of deformation of the edge of the guard 12. In addition, the multiple reels 10 in the reel layer group 20 are intertwined and have a compact structure, which can make full use of the space inside the box, increase the number of reels 10 that can be loaded in the box, and help to improve the space utilization rate of the box.

[0045] In practical applications, the first preset direction can also be the left and right direction, the second preset direction can also be the front and back direction, or the two preset directions can be other directions, and the preset angle between the two preset directions can also be other angles. The specific changes can be made according to the shape of the box 30, etc. The specific structure of the tray sorting device 200 and the conveying device 300 will not be described in detail here, but will be explained in detail below.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first motion mechanism 220 includes a first slide rail 221 and a second slide rail 222. The first slide rail 221 extends along a first preset direction, and the second slide rail 222 extends along a second preset direction. Multiple first slide rails 221 and multiple second slide rails 222 are provided. At most one of the multiple first slide rails 221 is fixedly disposed on the frame 100, and the remaining first slide rails 221 are slidably connected to the frame 100 with their sliding direction parallel to the second preset direction. At most one of the multiple second slide rails 222 is fixedly disposed on the frame 100, and the remaining second slide rails 222 are slidably connected to the frame 100 with their sliding direction parallel to the first preset direction. In a preset direction, multiple fixture seats 210 in the same fixture group are slidably connected to the same second slide rail 222 and respectively linked with multiple first slide rails 221. The first motion mechanism 220 also includes a first driver 223 and a second driver 224. The first driver 223 is used to drive the relative movement between the multiple first slide rails 221 to move closer or further away, and can drive the corresponding fixture seat 210 to move along the second slide rail 222 through the first slide rail 221. The second driver 224 is used to drive the relative movement between the multiple second slide rails 222 to move closer or further away, and can drive the corresponding fixture group to move through the second slide rail 222.

[0047] Understandably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, six first slide rails 221 extend front-to-back, and four second slide rails 222 extend left-to-right. Both first and second slide rails 221 have multiple sections. The six first slide rails 221 are slidably connected to the frame 100 in the left-to-right direction and are arranged accordingly. The four second slide rails 222 are arranged front-to-back, with the last one fixed to the frame 100. The remaining three second slide rails 222 are slidably connected to the frame 100, and their sliding direction is parallel to the front-to-back direction. Multiple fixture seats 210 in the same fixture group are slidably connected to the same second slide rail 222 and are respectively linked to multiple first slide rails 221, so that... When the first slide rail 221 moves left or right, it can drive the corresponding fixture seat 210 to move in the left and right directions. The first driver 223 is used to drive the relative movement between multiple first slide rails 221, bringing them closer or further apart. It can drive the corresponding fixture seat 210 to move along the second slide rail 222 via the first slide rail 221, so that multiple fixture seats 210 in the same fixture group can move closer or further apart relative to each other. The second driver 224 is used to drive the relative movement between multiple second slide rails 222, bringing them closer or further apart relative to each other. It can drive the corresponding fixture group to move via the second slide rail 222, so that multiple fixture groups can move closer or further apart relative to each other, thus realizing the relative movement between multiple fixture seats 210 in the left and right and front and back directions. With the above structure, using the crisscrossing slide rails to drive the movement of multiple corresponding fixture seats 210 helps to reduce the number of drivers, simplify the structure, and reduce the production cost of the equipment.

[0048] In practical applications, the four second slide rails 222 can also be slidably connected to the frame 100, and one of the six first slide rails 221 can be fixedly connected to the frame 100. In addition to the above structure, the first motion mechanism 220 can also include multiple drivers to correspond to multiple fixture seats 210. The multiple drivers are used to drive the multiple fixture seats 210 to move, thereby realizing the relative movement of the multiple fixture seats 210 towards and away from each other. The specific settings can be made according to the actual use needs.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first motion mechanism 220 further includes a linkage seat 225, which is slidably connected to the frame 100 and slides in a direction parallel to a second preset direction. The linkage seat 225 is provided with at least one first linkage groove 226, which extends along the second preset direction. The first slide rail 221 is provided with a first linkage part 227. The first linkage part 227 of at most one of the multiple first slide rails 221 is fixedly engaged with the linkage seat 225. The first linkage parts 227 of the remaining first slide rails 221 are provided in the corresponding first linkage grooves 226 and can move along the first linkage grooves 226. The first driver 223 is drivenly connected to the linkage seat 225 and can drive the linkage seat 225 to move. The linkage seat 225 can abut against the corresponding first linkage part 227 through the groove wall of the first linkage groove 226 to drive the corresponding first slide rail 221 to move, so that the multiple first slide rails 221 move closer or further apart relative to each other.

[0050] Understandably, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two linkage seats 225 and two first drivers 223, respectively distributed on the left and right sides of the first slide rails 221. One linkage seat 225 corresponds to three first slide rails 221. The linkage seat 225 is slidably connected to the frame 100 and the sliding direction is parallel to the left and right direction. The linkage seat 225 is provided with two first linkage grooves 226. The length of the first linkage groove 226 corresponds to the travel distance of the first slide rail 221 that it is linked with. The first linkage part 227 is a roller, which is rotatably connected to the first slide rail 221. (Refer to...) Figure 6 With three first slide rails 221 as a group, in Figure 6 Of the three first slide rails 221 shown, the first linkage part 227 of the leftmost first slide rail 221 is fixedly engaged with the linkage seat 225 and moves left and right with the linkage seat 225. The first linkage parts 227 of the other two first slide rails 221 are engaged with the corresponding first linkage grooves 226 and can move along the first linkage grooves 226. Figure 6To illustrate, during use, the first driver 223 drives the linkage seat 225 to move to the right. The linkage seat 225 causes the left first slide rail 221 to move to the right and closer to the middle first slide rail 221. The first linkage parts 227 of the middle and right first slide rails 221 both move to the left relative to the first linkage groove 226, so that they remain temporarily stationary. When the left first slide rail 221 moves to contact the middle first slide rail 221, the left first slide rail 221 can push against the middle first slide rail 221. Or when the first linkage part 227 of the middle first slide rail 221 moves to contact the left side of the first linkage groove 226, the linkage seat 225 can push against the first linkage part 227 through the side of the first linkage groove 226. At this time, if the linkage seat 225 continues to move to the right, it will drive the two first slide rails 221 located on the left and in the middle to move to the right first slide rail 221, so that the three first slide rails 221 move closer to each other. During reset, the first driver 223 drives the linkage seat 225 to move to the left. The linkage seat 225 then drives the left first slide rail 221 to move to the left, away from the middle first slide rail 221. The first linkage parts 227 of the middle and right first slide rails 221 both move to the right relative to the first linkage groove 226, keeping them temporarily stationary. When the first linkage part 227 of the middle first slide rail 221 moves to contact the right side wall of the first linkage groove 226, the linkage seat 225 can push against the first linkage part 227 through the groove wall of the first linkage groove 226. At this time, the linkage seat 225 continues to move to the left, causing the two first slide rails 221 on the left and middle to move away from the right first slide rail 221, thus moving the three first slide rails 221 away from each other. By adopting the above structure, one first driver 223 can drive multiple first slide rails 221 in the same group to move closer and further apart, which helps to reduce the number of drivers, simplify the structure, and reduce the production cost of the equipment.

[0051] In practical applications, multiple linkage seats 225 can be provided, and the number of first slide rails 221 linked by one linkage seat 225 can be two, four, or more. The first linkage parts 227 of the multiple linked first slide rails 221 can also all cooperate with the corresponding first linkage grooves 226. Of course, in addition to the above structure, multiple first drivers 223 can be provided, and each first driver 223 drives one first slide rail 221 to move, thereby realizing the relative movement of multiple first slide rails 221 towards or away from each other. The specific settings can be made according to the actual needs of use.

[0052] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second slide rails 222 are fixedly provided with hooks 228. When the relative movement between the multiple second slide rails 222 moves away, the hooks 228 can enable the two adjacent second slide rails 222 to move together. When the relative movement between the multiple second slide rails 222 moves closer, the hooks 228 can release the linkage between the two adjacent second slide rails 222, so that one of the two adjacent second slide rails 222 can move to push against the other second slide rail 222.

[0053] Understandably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in two adjacent second slide rails 222, one of the second slide rails 222 is fixedly provided with a hook 228. The hook 228 has a hook portion on its rear side, and the hook portion of the hook 228 can move to abut or separate from the other second slide rail 222. Figure 7 Taking the four second slide rails 222 shown as an example, the second driver 224 is driven to connect with the second slide rail 222 located on the front side. In use, the second driver 224 drives the second slide rail 222 on the front side to move backward, close to the adjacent second slide rail 222 behind it. At this time, the second slide rail 222 on the front side drives the hook 228 on it to move backward. The hook part of the hook 228 moves backward and separates from the adjacent second slide rail 222, releasing the linkage, so that the second slide rail 222 on the front side can move backward to push against the movement of the adjacent second slide rail 222, realizing the relative movement and closeness between the two. The other two second slide rails 222 located at the rear are also connected by this... The method achieves relative movement closer together; during reset, the second driver 224 drives the front second slide rail 222 forward and moves the hook 228 on it forward. At this time, the relative movement between the front second slide rail 222 and the rear second slide rail 222 moves away. When the hook 228 of the front second slide rail 222 moves to contact the adjacent second slide rail 222, the two second slide rails 222 are linked, and the second driver 224 can drive the two front second slide rails 222 to move forward together, thereby driving the second slide rails 222 forward one by one, realizing the relative movement away from each other. By adopting the above structure, one second driver 224 can drive multiple second slide rails 222 to move closer and further apart, which helps to reduce the number of drivers, simplify the structure, and reduce the production cost of the equipment.

[0054] In practical applications, the number of hooks can be set according to actual needs. For example, each second slide rail 222 can be equipped with a hook 228, or multiple second slide rails 222 can be divided into pairs, with a hook 228 placed between the two second slide rails 222 in the same group. The number of second drivers 224 can be set according to the number of groups of the second slide rails 222. Of course, in addition to the above structure, multiple second drivers 224 can be provided, with each second driver 224 driving one second slide rail 222 to move, thereby realizing the relative movement of multiple second slide rails 222 towards or away from each other. The specific setting can be made according to actual needs.

[0055] In some embodiments, the fixture base 210 is provided with a placement surface 211 for placing the reel 10, and the placement surface 211 is provided with a positioning post 212 for inserting the core 11.

[0056] Understandably, such as Figure 7 As shown, each fixture seat 210 has a placement surface 211 on its upper side. The reel 10 is placed on the placement surface 211 with its edge 12 in contact with the placement surface 211. A positioning post 212 is provided in the middle of the placement surface 211. The core 11 of the reel 10 is inserted into the positioning post 212, thereby achieving the positioning of the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210 and preventing its horizontal movement from causing positional deviation. Its structure is simple, facilitates the loading and unloading of the reel 10, and is easy to use. In practical applications, the positioning post 212 can be set to be telescopically movable relative to the fixture seat 210, so that it can automatically insert into and release the core 11, facilitating loading and unloading. In addition to the above structure, an adsorption component can be set on the fixture seat 210 to adsorb the reel 10, or a clamping component can be set to clamp the reel 10, thereby achieving the fixed placement of the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210. The specific configuration can be set according to the actual needs of use.

[0057] In some embodiments, the tray handling device 200 further includes a limiting mechanism 230, which is provided corresponding to the fixture seat 210 and is used to limit the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210 from disengaging from the positioning post 212.

[0058] Understandably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, by setting a limiting mechanism 230, the reel 10 on the fixture base 210 is prevented from disengaging from the positioning post 212, thereby achieving a better fixing effect on the reel 10 on the fixture base 210 and facilitating its use. In actual applications, the limiting mechanism 230 can be set according to actual usage needs, which will not be described in detail here, but will be explained in detail below.

[0059] In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 230 includes a rotating shaft 231 and a third driver 236. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the frame 100. A plurality of connecting seats 232 are slidably disposed on the rotating shaft 231. A limiting plate 234 is disposed on the connecting seat 232. The rotation axis of the rotating shaft 231 is parallel to a first preset direction or a second preset direction. The connecting seat 232 can be linked with the second slide rail 222 or the first slide rail 221 respectively. The third driver 236 can drive the rotating shaft 231 to rotate so that the limiting plate 234 can be flipped to the upper side of the corresponding fixture seat 210 through the connecting seat 232.

[0060] Understandably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 231 is located on the front side of the first motion mechanism 220. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the frame 100 and extends in the left and right direction. Six connecting seats 232 are slidably arranged on the rotating shaft 231 to correspond to six first slide rails 221. One of the connecting seats 232 and the first slide rails 221 is provided with a second linkage groove 233, and the other is provided with a second linkage part 229 that cooperates with the second linkage groove 233. By inserting the second linkage part 229 into the second linkage groove 233, the linkage between the connecting seat 232 and the first slide rail 221 can be realized, so that the first slide rail 221 can drive the connecting seat 232 to move left and right along the rotating shaft 231 to follow the jig seat 210 which moves left and right. Each connecting seat 232 is provided with a limit plate 234. The limit plate 234 is provided with a clearance groove 235 for the positioning post 212 to pass through, so as to cooperate well with the jig seat 210 and limit the reel 10 on it. In use, the third driver 236 drives the rotating shaft 231 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting seat 232 on it to rotate, causing the limiting plate 234 to flip to the upper side of the corresponding fixture seat 210 and cooperate with the placement surface 211, forming a clamp on the reel 10 on it, thereby limiting the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210. Its structure is simple and can achieve a good limiting effect, making it easy to use.

[0061] In practical applications, the rotating shaft 231 can also be located on the left or right side of the first motion mechanism 220. It can extend in the front-back direction so that the connecting seat 232 on it is linked with the second slide rail 222. In addition to the above structure, the limiting mechanism 230 can also be a negative pressure suction cup located on the fixture seat 210 to limit the reel 10 by adsorbing it. The specific setting can be made according to the actual use needs.

[0062] In some embodiments, the fixture base 210 is provided with a placement surface 211 for placing the reel 10, and the placement surfaces 211 of two adjacent fixture bases 210 are parallel to each other.

[0063] Understandably, such as Figure 7 As shown, by setting the placement surfaces 211 of two adjacent jig seats 210 to be parallel to each other, that is, there is a certain height difference between the placement surfaces 211 of two adjacent jig seats 210, the reels 10 placed on them also have a certain height difference. This facilitates the insertion of the guard edge 12 of one of the two adjacent reels 10 between the two guard edges 12 of the other, making it convenient to use. In practical applications, the height difference between the placement surfaces 211 of two adjacent jig seats 210 is preferably equal to the thickness of the guard edge 12 of the reel 10. The placement surfaces 211 of multiple jig seats 210 can be staggered with varying heights, or they can gradually increase in height or gradually decrease in height, depending on the actual usage requirements.

[0064] In some embodiments, the handling device 300 includes a fork assembly 310 and a second motion mechanism 320. The second motion mechanism 320 is tractively connected to the fork assembly 310 and is capable of driving the fork assembly 310 to move. The fork assembly 310 can be inserted into the reel stack 20 or moved to the underside of the reel stack 20.

[0065] Understandably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in use, the second motion mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move closer to the tray unloading device 200, so that the fork assembly 310 is inserted between the two flanges 12 of the reel 10 in the reel layer assembly 20. Subsequently, the third drive 236 drives the rotating shaft 231 to rotate, causing the limiting plate 234 to flip away from the fixture seat 210. The limiting mechanism 230 releases the limiting of the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210. The second motion mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move upward, thereby driving the reel layer assembly 20 to move upward and disengage it from the tray unloading device 200. The motion mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move to the box 30, so that the reel layer 20 is located at the opening of the box 30 and the lower part of the reel layer 20 enters the box 30. Then, the second motion mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move relative to the box 30, using the edge of the opening of the box 30 to separate the reel layer 20 from the fork assembly 310 and let the reel layer 20 fall into the box 30. The above packing of the reel layer 20 is repeated so that multiple reel layer 20s are stacked layer by layer in the box 30 to realize the packing operation of multiple reels 10. The above structure is simple and reasonable, and the use of forks to realize the handling of reel 10 can well meet the handling needs of reel layer 20 and is easy to use.

[0066] In practical applications, the fork assembly 310 can also be moved to the underside of the reel layer 20 to pick up the reel 10 assembly. In this case, the placement surface 211 needs to be provided with a corresponding clearance groove for the movement of the fork assembly 310. In addition to the above structure, the handling device 300 may also include multiple adsorption components, which use vacuum adsorption to adsorb and grab each reel 10 in the reel layer 20, thereby realizing the acquisition of the reel layer 20 to facilitate its subsequent handling. The specific configuration can be set according to the actual use needs.

[0067] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fork assembly 310 is provided with guard plates 330 on both sides. When the fork assembly 310 is inserted into the reel layer 20 or moved to the underside of the reel layer 20, the guard plates 330 on both sides of the fork assembly 310 are located on both sides of the reel layer 20, which can protect the reel layer 20 and prevent the reel layer 20 from falling apart, which is beneficial for subsequent packing and easy to use.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second motion mechanism 320 includes a movable seat 321, a first drive assembly 322, a second drive assembly 323, a third drive assembly 324, and a motion platform 325. The movable seat 321 is slidably connected to the frame 100, and the fork assembly 310 is slidably connected to the movable seat 321. The first drive assembly 322 is disposed on the movable seat 321 and drivenly connected to the fork assembly 310, for driving the fork assembly 310 to move up and down. The second drive assembly 323 is disposed on the frame 100 and drivenly connected to the movable seat 321, for driving the movable seat 321 to move horizontally. The motion platform 325 is slidably connected to the frame 100 and is used to place the box 30. The third drive assembly 324 is disposed on the frame 100 and drivenly connected to the motion platform 325, for driving the motion platform 325 to move horizontally.

[0069] Understandably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, both the movable seat 321 and the motion platform 325 are slidably connected to the frame 100 in the left-right direction, with the motion platform 325 located below the movable seat 321. In use, the second drive assembly 323 drives the movable seat 321 to move towards the tray sorting device 200, using the fork assembly 310 to pick up the reel stack 20. Then, the first drive assembly 322 drives the fork assembly 310 upwards, causing the reel 10 assembly to be disengaged from the tray sorting device 200. Subsequently, the second drive assembly 323 drives the movable seat 321 to move to the left and reset. Simultaneously, the third drive assembly 324 drives the motion platform 325 to move below the fork assembly 310. Drive assembly 322 moves the fork assembly 310 down to the housing 30 of the motion platform 325, positioning the reel layer 20 at the opening of the housing 30 with its lower part inside. Then, third drive assembly 324 moves the motion platform 325, causing relative movement between the fork assembly 310 and the housing 30. The edge of the opening in the housing 30 separates the reel layer 20 from the fork assembly 310, allowing it to fall into the housing 30. This structure is simple, reasonable, and easy to use.

[0070] In practical applications, the second motion mechanism 320 can also be a multi-axis manipulator to drive the fork assembly 310 to move and realize the handling and conveying of the reel layer 20. The specific settings can be made according to the actual needs of use.

[0071] This utility model also proposes a method for packing reels, which includes the following steps:

[0072] Place the reels, arranging multiple reels 10 in a pre-defined planar array;

[0073] The reels are arranged so that the multiple reels 10 move closer to each other, so that one of the flanges 12 of each reel 10 can be inserted between the two flanges 12 of the adjacent reel 10, so that the multiple reels 10 are combined to form a reel layer group 20.

[0074] Packing: The coil layers 20 obtained from the coil sorting step are packed into the box 30;

[0075] Stack the reels, repeat the above steps of placing, sorting, and packing the reels to stack multiple reel layers 20 in the box 30.

[0076] The packing method for the reels according to the embodiments of this utility model is described below. Figure 9 , Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the tray arrangement process, which involves combining multiple reels 10 to form a reel layer group 20. Within the reel layer group 20, the multiple reels 10 are interleaved and interlocked. (Refer to...) Figure 9 and Figure 10In some cases, the upper side flange 12 of a reel 10 is located on the upper side of an adjacent reel 10, and the edge of the flange 12 is close to the core 11 of the adjacent reel 10. In other cases, the upper side flange 12 of a reel 10 is inserted between the two side flanges 12 of an adjacent reel 10, and its edge is also close to the core 11 of that adjacent reel 10. The structural strength at the core 11 is better than the structural strength at the edge of the flange 12. Therefore, the structure at the core 11 and the flange 12 near the core 11 is less prone to deformation. Figure 10 Taking the two reels 10 in the middle as an example, the reel 10 on the right side can use the part of the reel 10 on the left side near the core 11 to support the edge of its upper side guard 12. The edge of the upper side guard of the left side reel 10 is close to the core 11 of the right side reel 10. The structure at this point can be used to shield and protect the edge of the upper side guard of the left side reel 10, which helps to reduce the possibility of deformation of the edge of the guard 12. In addition, the multiple reels 10 in the reel layer group 20 are intertwined and have a compact structure. When the multiple reel layer groups 20 are stacked layer by layer in the box 30, the space inside the box can be fully utilized, increasing the number of reels 10 that can be loaded in the box, which helps to improve the space utilization rate of the box.

[0077] It is understood that the above-mentioned method of packing reels can be carried out using the reel packing equipment proposed in this utility model, or it can be carried out manually or by other equipment that can achieve this packing method.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
