Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gabion mesh production and processing equipment, and in particular relates to a one-time forming gabion mesh edge locking machine. Background Technology
[0002] Gabion mesh is an essential material in dam construction. It secures the stones used in dam building, enhancing the dam's impact resistance and extending its service life. Gabion mesh plays a crucial role in modern water conservancy projects and coastal protection projects. Currently, my country uses approximately 120 million square meters of gabion mesh annually, indicating a huge market demand and reflecting its widespread application and indispensability in infrastructure construction.
[0003] The production process of gabion mesh includes weaving, cutting, and edging. Due to its weaving process, the cut edges of the gabion mesh sheets have complex shapes. Currently, manual or semi-automatic equipment is used for the edging process, but existing equipment cannot complete the edging task in one go, leaving a section of excess wire at the edge of the mesh sheet. This excess wire usually requires secondary manual processing, resulting in high labor input and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, to address the problem that existing edge-locking equipment cannot complete the edge-locking task in one go due to the complex shape of the gabion mesh cut edges, leaving a section of excess wire at the edge of the mesh, which usually requires secondary manual edge-locking, resulting in high labor input and low production efficiency. This utility model proposes a one-time forming gabion mesh edge-locking machine. Multiple edge-locking units arranged in parallel lock the edge of the gabion mesh in the middle of the cut line with a regular shape. For the two sides of the gabion mesh with special shapes, an excess wire curling mechanism is added to curl the excess wire, realizing automated one-time forming of the edge-locking process, reducing labor input and improving production efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a one-time forming gabion mesh edge locking machine, comprising a frame, an edge locking mechanism and two excess wire curling mechanisms, wherein the edge locking mechanism is fixed on the frame, and the two excess wire curling mechanisms are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the edge locking mechanism, and the edge locking mechanism comprises multiple edge locking units connected in series.

[0007] The excess wire curling mechanism includes a push cylinder and a rotating cylinder. The push cylinder is equipped with a telescopic push rod, which is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder through a linkage plate. The front end of the rotating cylinder is equipped with excess wire clamps.
[0008] Furthermore, the frame is axially equipped with a power shaft and multiple support rods.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive device includes a transmission gear set and a power gear, the transmission gear set being rotatably fixed on the support plate, and the power shaft driving the power gear to rotate.
[0010] Furthermore, the transmission gear set includes a first transmission gear and a second transmission gear that mesh with each other. The first transmission gear meshes with the power gear, and the second transmission gear is fixedly connected to the locking disc.
[0011] Furthermore, the edge-locking unit also includes an edge wire fixing hook, which is fixed on the support plate and does not interfere with the edge-locking disc.
[0012] Furthermore, the excess wire curling mechanism is also provided with a housing, which is fixedly connected to the edge locking mechanism, and the push cylinder is fixed inside the housing.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the one-time forming gabion mesh edge-locking machine described in this utility model are:

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other, and the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments.
[0035] I. Detailed Implementation Method 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-11This embodiment describes a one-time forming gabion mesh edge-locking machine, which includes a frame 1, an edge-locking mechanism 2, and two excess wire curling mechanisms 3. The edge-locking mechanism 2 is fixed on the frame 1, and the two excess wire curling mechanisms 3 are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the edge-locking mechanism 2. The edge-locking mechanism 2 includes multiple edge-locking units 21 connected in series.
[0036] The edge-locking unit 21 includes an edge-locking disc 211, a support plate 212, and a driving device. The edge-locking disc 211 is a disc with a notch. The edge-locking disc 211 is rotatably fixed on the support plate 212. The driving device drives the edge-locking disc 211 to rotate relative to the support plate 212.
[0037] The excess wire curling mechanism 3 includes a push cylinder 324 and a rotating cylinder 326. The push cylinder 324 is equipped with a telescopic push rod 325, which is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 326 via a linkage plate 322. The front end of the rotating cylinder 326 is equipped with an excess wire clamp 323. The push cylinder 324 and the rotating cylinder 326 are fixedly connected in a staggered manner using the linkage plate 322, without limiting their working strokes to the same straight line. This reduces the overall length of the excess wire curling mechanism 3, making the equipment structure more compact.
[0038] See Figure 11 During operation, the worker first places the edge wire A into the notches of multiple locking discs 211. Then, the cut edge of the gabion mesh is combined with the edge wire A to form multiple closed pentagonal bending areas B. The bending areas B are then placed one-to-one with the multiple locking units 21 into the notches of the multiple locking discs 211. When the equipment is started, the locking discs 211 rotate with the edge wire A as the axis, winding the closed pentagonal bending areas B around the edge wire A, thus completing the locking of the middle area of the cut line.
[0039] Since the excess wire C cannot form a closed bending area with the edge wire A, the edge is locked by rotating the notch of the locking disc 211. In this application, the excess wire clamp 323 is used to curl and wind the excess wire C into a spiral shape along the direction parallel to the edge wire A.
[0040] This invention features a simple structure and is easy to operate. It utilizes repeating edge-locking units to edge the regularly shaped area in the middle of the cutting line. Addressing the issue of complex shapes on both sides that cannot be formed using conventional edge-locking mechanisms, a telescopic rotary curling mechanism is specifically designed. This changes the traditional forming method of bending in the direction perpendicular to edge wire A, instead curling and winding the remaining wires from both sides, parallel to edge wire A. Through the combined operation of these two edge-locking mechanisms, the equipment achieves automatic edge-locking in one step, accelerating the production speed of gabion mesh and improving production efficiency.
[0041] The frame 1 described in this application is axially provided with a power shaft 11 and multiple support rods 12.
[0042] The driving device described in this application includes a transmission gear set and a power gear 213. The transmission gear set is rotatably fixed on the support plate 212, and the power shaft 11 drives the power gear 213 to rotate.
[0043] The transmission gear set described in this application includes a first transmission gear 214 and a second transmission gear 215 that mesh with each other. The first transmission gear 214 meshes with the power gear 213, and the second transmission gear 215 is fixedly connected to the locking disc 211. Power is transmitted through the gear set via a power shaft, ensuring precise transmission. The gear set has a compact structure and high space utilization, making it suitable for locking units with relatively narrow structures.
[0044] The edge-locking unit 21 described in this application further includes an edge wire fixing hook 216, which is fixed to the support plate 212 and does not interfere with the edge-locking disc 211. The addition of the edge wire fixing component limits and fixes the edge wire A, preventing it from shifting during equipment operation and improving the stability of the automatic edge-locking process. The edge wire fixing hook can also be fixed to the edge-locking machine frame, or a drive component can be added to drive it back and forth, further fixing the edge wire inside the notch of the edge-locking disc 211.
[0045] The excess wire curling mechanism 3 described in this application also includes a housing 321, which is fixedly connected to the edge-locking mechanism 2, and the push cylinder 324 is fixed inside the housing 321. This forms a semi-enclosed space, providing dust protection for the push cylinder 324 and the rotating cylinder 326.
[0046] The edge-locking machine of this application can also be equipped with a conveying mechanism for automatic conveying of the gabion mesh. Alternatively, a hydraulic pressing mechanism can be added, using a hydraulic cylinder to drive the pressure roller to move up and down. When edge-locking, the pressure roller presses down to press and fix the gabion mesh, further improving the stability of the edge-locking process, reducing manual operation, and increasing the automation level of the equipment. The edge-locking machine of this application can also be used in combination with existing conveying or pressing equipment.
[0047] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present invention. The embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention.
