Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a steel cord detection device, and more particularly to a steel cord arc height detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Steel cord for radial tires is the carcass material of radial tires. It is manufactured using high-strength high-carbon steel and high-carbon alloys through cold working. Its manufacturing process is complex and requires strict technical standards, resulting in high strength and good elasticity. Due to the special purpose of radial tires, extremely high safety requirements are placed on them, therefore, strict standards are applied to indicators such as the arc height of the steel cord.

[0003] In production, if the arc height of the steel cord is not measured, the product will not meet quality requirements. Currently, the arc height of the steel cord is usually measured by workers placing the cord on a graduated plate and manually judging whether the arc height is up to standard. This method is difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale, high-quality production. Repetitive manual operations are labor-intensive, and it is difficult to maintain a high level of concentration for extended periods, inevitably leading to errors. This not only results in low efficiency but also causes uncontrollable and unstable product quality. Furthermore, with industrial upgrading and automation transformation, the existing method cannot be integrated with other automated devices, making it impossible to achieve 24-hour unmanned or minimally manned production lines. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that manual inspection of the arc height of steel cord is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inaccurate, resulting in compromised product quality, this utility model proposes a steel cord arc height detection device to solve this problem.

[0005] The first embodiment, a semi-automatic detection, includes a steel cord arc height detection device comprising an opening and closing fixed frame, an opening and closing actuator mounted on the opening and closing fixed frame, two detection plates, two hinge plates, two opening and closing linkage frames, and two sets of intelligent hosts for photographing and calculating. The two detection plates are respectively mounted on the top two sides of the opening and closing fixed frame via their respective hinge plates. An opening and closing linkage frame is symmetrically hinged to the inner side below each of the two detection plates. The other end of each of the two opening and closing linkage frames is hinged to the extended end of the opening and closing actuator. Each set of intelligent hosts is mounted directly above its corresponding detection plate.

[0006] Furthermore, specifically, the detection plate includes a substrate and a tempered glass surface, with a light source disposed between the substrate and the tempered glass surface.

[0007] In order to facilitate the opening and closing actuator to simultaneously push the detection plates to a horizontal position, the extended end of the opening and closing actuator is positioned directly between the two detection plates.

[0008] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the opening and closing actuators are all cylinders.

[0009] The second implementation method, fully automated testing, differs from the first method in that it also includes a lifting mechanism. The extended end of the lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to one side of the opening and closing fixing frame. Each testing plate also has a wire-laying mechanism and an automatic fusing mechanism for fusing the steel cord at one end. Each testing plate has a wire-clamping manipulator guide rail on the side away from the opening and closing fixing frame. The guide rail contains a wire-clamping manipulator for pulling the steel cord on the test reel via the wire-laying mechanism and the automatic fusing mechanism to the other end of the testing plate. The lifting mechanism also uses a cylinder.

[0010] The advantages of this invention are as follows: The device first extends the opening and closing actuator to stretch two detection plates into a horizontal position. The steel cord is placed on the detection plates, the light source is lit, and the intelligent host located above takes a picture, calculates the arc height, and provides feedback results. After the detection is completed, the opening and closing actuator retracts, and the two detection plates retract into a sloping roof shape. The detected steel cord automatically slides off the sloping roof-shaped detection plates to their respective dropping areas due to gravity, thus improving the efficiency of detecting the arc height of the steel cord.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown in Embodiment 1: The steel cord arc height detection device of this utility model includes an opening and closing fixing frame 1, an opening and closing execution mechanism 2 installed on the opening and closing fixing frame 1, two detection plates 3, two hinge plates 4, two opening and closing linkage frames 5, and two sets of intelligent hosts 6 for taking pictures and calculating. The two detection plates 3 are respectively installed on the top two sides of the opening and closing fixing frame 1 through their respective corresponding hinge plates 4. The two detection plates 3 can be flipped along the top of the opening and closing fixing frame 1. An opening and closing linkage frame 5 is symmetrically hinged to the lower inner side of each of the two detection plates 3. The other end of the two opening and closing linkage frames 5 is hinged to the extended end of the opening and closing execution mechanism 2. Each set of intelligent hosts 6 is installed directly above its corresponding detection plate 3.

[0019] The detection plate 3 includes a substrate and a tempered glass surface, with a light source positioned between the substrate and the tempered glass surface. The extended end of the opening / closing actuator 2 is positioned at the midpoint between the two detection plates 3. The opening / closing actuator 2 is a cylinder.

[0020] like Figure 4-5 As shown in Example 2, unlike Example 1, the wire picking in Example 2 is also automated. Example 2 also includes a lifting actuator 7. The main body of the lifting actuator 7 is fixed on the lifting mechanism fixing frame 12. The extended end of the lifting actuator 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the opening and closing fixing frame 1. Each detection plate 3 is also provided with a wire laying mechanism 8 and an automatic melting mechanism 9 for melting the steel cord at one end. Each detection plate 3 is provided with a wire clamping robot guide rail 10 on the side away from the opening and closing fixing frame 1. The wire clamping robot guide rail 10 is provided with a wire clamping robot 11 for pulling the steel cord on the test I-beam to the other end of the detection plate 3 through the wire laying mechanism 8 and the automatic melting mechanism 9. The lifting actuator 7 also uses a cylinder.

[0021] Specific testing steps: When the full-line I-beam reaches the testing position, the wire-clamping robot 11 pulls the steel cord through the wire-laying mechanism 8 and the automatic melting mechanism 9 from one end of the testing plate 3 to the other end. The lifting actuator 7 moves the opening and closing fixing frame 1 upward, and the components on the opening and closing fixing frame 1 also move upward. The opening and closing actuator 2 extends, stretching the two testing plates 3 into a horizontal position. The steel cord is naturally placed on the testing plate 3. The automatic melting mechanism 9 melts one end of the steel cord, and the wire-clamping robot 11 releases the other end. At this time, the light source on the testing plate 3 lights up, and the intelligent host 6 located above takes a picture, calculates the arc height, and gives feedback results. After the test is completed, the lifting actuator 7 retracts, driving the opening and closing fixing frame 1 back to its original position. The opening and closing actuator 2 retracts, and the two testing plates 3 retract into a sloping roof shape. The tested steel cord automatically slides down from the sloping roof-shaped testing plate 3 to its respective dropping area due to gravity, improving the efficiency of testing the arc height of the steel cord.

[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
