Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of winding machine technology, specifically to an increasing diameter sleeve with jaws and a winding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in continuous strip steel production lines in the metallurgical industry, there are coilers used to roll the processed strip steel into coils. Depending on the properties of the strip steel material, for strip steel exceeding a certain thickness, the coiler drum with jaws is generally used for coiling. However, due to process requirements, the inner diameter of the strip steel to be coiled by the coiler is sometimes not a fixed value. Setting up two coilers is obviously unreasonable in terms of cost. The original diameter-increasing sleeve itself does not have jaws, and the jaws of the coiler itself are required. This inevitably results in the strip head (commonly known as the strip tongue) extending longer into the coiler after adding the sleeve, which is not conducive to uncoiling, especially not conducive to the coiling of the next process.

[0024] See Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a diameter-increasing sleeve with jaws is provided for sleeved on the outside of the coil of a winding machine. It includes multiple sector plates and a clamping mechanism 7. The multiple sector plates are connected by the clamping mechanism 7 to form a complete circular sleeve with adjustable diameter. The sector plates are divided into a first sector plate 1, a second sector plate 2 with a pushing part 4, and a third sector plate 3 with jaws 5. A strip head clamping mechanism 6 is installed at the jaws 5 of the third sector plate 3. The strip head clamping mechanism 6 is used to clamp the strip head in the jaws 5. The second sector plate 2 and the third sector plate 3 are connected adjacently, so that the pushing part 4 of the second sector plate 2 and the jaws 5 of the third sector plate 3 are relatively engaged. The pushing part 4 of the second sector plate 2 is used to push the strip head clamping mechanism 6 to move to loosen the strip head in the jaws 5.

[0025] This utility model's diameter-increasing sleeve with jaws 5 is unpowered. It utilizes the expansion and contraction hydraulic cylinder of the coiler to expand and contract the coiling drum, thereby completing the expansion and contraction of the diameter-increasing sleeve and the opening and closing of the jaws 5. When the coiler needs to coil strip with a small inner diameter, the diameter-increasing sleeve is not required; the strip with a small inner diameter can be directly wound onto the outside of the coiler's drum. When the coiler needs to coil strip with a large inner diameter, the diameter-increasing sleeve is placed over the outside of the coiler's drum, and the jaws 5 of the diameter-increasing sleeve grip and fix the end of the strip with a large inner diameter, thus winding the strip onto the outside of the diameter-increasing sleeve and completing the coiler's winding function. This design eliminates the need for multiple coilers to wind strip with different diameters, resulting in faster changes between different diameter strips, lower economic costs, and prevention of strip end elongation, facilitating unwinding and rewinding for the next process.

[0026] In this embodiment, the strip clamping mechanism 6 includes a first elastic element 61, a guide rod 62, and a clamping block 63. The guide rod 62 is fixedly installed at the jaws 5, and the clamping block 63 is slidably disposed at one end of the guide rod 62. The first elastic element 61 is installed on the guide rod 62 and is used to drive the clamping block 63 to move radially outward to clamp the strip head in the jaws 5. Specifically, the jaws 5 include a clamping groove 51 and a receiving groove 52 that are interconnected. The guide rod 62 is installed in the receiving groove 52, and the clamping block 63 is slidably disposed in the clamping groove 51. The first elastic element 61 is a first spring sleeved on the guide rod 62, and the two ends of the first spring are respectively connected to the receiving groove. The bottom wall of the groove 52 and the clamping block 63 abut against each other; the cross section of the clamping block 63 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the left and right sides of the clamping block 63 are the clamping inclined surface 631 and the transmission inclined surface 632, respectively. The pushing part 4 of the second sector plate 2 is an inclined surface. The transmission inclined surface 632 and the inclined surface are parallel to each other and abut against each other. The clamping inclined surface 631 and the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 are parallel to each other. The first spring is used to drive the clamping block 63 to move in a radially outward direction to clamp the strip head between the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping inclined surface 631. This setting makes the clamping effect of the strip head more stable and reliable, and the loosening process can also be smooth, avoiding jamming. When the winding machine's drum expands in diameter, it drives the expansion sleeve to expand in diameter as well. This causes the inclined surface of the second sector plate 2 and the clamping groove 51 of the third sector plate 3 to move away from each other. Under the elastic force of the first spring, the clamping block 63 is driven to move radially outward on the guide rod 62. This gradually reduces the gap between the side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping inclined surface 631, thereby clamping the strip head between the side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping inclined surface 631. When the winding machine's drum shrinks in diameter, it drives the shrinking of the diameter-increasing sleeve, causing the inclined surface of the second sector plate 2 and the clamping groove 51 of the third sector plate 3 to approach each other. The inclined surface of the second sector plate 2 pushes the clamping block 63 to move radially inward on the guide rod 62 (at this time, the first spring is in a compressed state), thereby gradually increasing the gap between the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping inclined surface 631, and then loosening and releasing the strip head in the jaw 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are multiple first sector plates 1, and one second sector plate 2 and one third sector plate 3. The multiple first sector plates 1 are connected sequentially, and the two first sector plates 1 located at the edges are respectively connected to the second sector plate 2 and the third sector plate 3 through clamping mechanisms 7. Of course, it is also possible to have only one first sector plate 1, which can be adjusted according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0028] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 7 includes a guide telescopic rod 71 and a second elastic element 72 mounted on the guide telescopic rod 71. The guide telescopic rod 71 is telescopically disposed between two adjacent sector plates, and the second elastic element 72 is used to drive the guide telescopic rod 71 to extend and retract. Specifically, receiving holes 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the edge of the sector plate. The two ends of the guide telescopic rod 71 are respectively installed in two adjacent receiving holes 8 on two adjacent sector plates. The second elastic element 72 is a second spring, which is respectively sleeved on the guide telescopic rod 71 in the two receiving holes 8. An enlarged diameter limiting element 9 is provided at the end of the guide telescopic rod 71. One end of the receiving hole 8 extends radially inward to form a limiting step 10. The two ends of the second spring abut against the enlarged diameter limiting element 9 and the limiting step 10 of the guide telescopic rod 71, respectively. This arrangement makes the movement accuracy of each sector plate higher and more balanced and stable when the diameter-enhancing sleeve expands and contracts.

[0029] This utility model also provides a winding machine, including the diameter-increasing sleeve with jaws 5 and the drum as described in the above embodiment. The diameter-increasing sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the drum. This arrangement can realize the winding of strip steel with different diameters without the need for multiple winding machines, and makes the replacement speed of strip steel with different diameters faster and the economic cost lower. At the same time, it can avoid the growth of the strip head, and facilitate unwinding and winding for the next process.
