Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slitting machine technology, specifically to a robotic arm mechanism for operating a slitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A slitting machine is a mechanical device that cuts wide sheets of paper, mica tape, or film into multiple narrow strips. It is commonly used in papermaking machinery, wire and cable manufacturing, and printing and packaging machinery. Slitting machines are primarily used for cutting non-woven fabrics, mica tape, paper, insulating materials, and various film materials, and are particularly suitable for cutting narrow strips (non-woven fabrics, paper, insulating materials, mica tape, film, etc.). Existing patent application CN202210802674.8 discloses a coreless slitting machine, including an unwinding shaft, several guide rollers, a slitting knife assembly, a receiving roller assembly, a pressure arm, a glue spraying and cutting device, a cutting insert, a pressure roller, and an air blowing pipe. The receiving roller assembly, pressure arm, cutting insert, pressure roller, and air blowing pipe work together to roll the paper. Multiple devices, such as a mandrel feeding device, a mandrel discharging device, and a mandrel circulation device, work together to clamp and transport the mandrel, and complete the mandrel feeding and discharging process. However, the process of moving, transporting, and placing the mandrel using these devices is cumbersome, has low production efficiency, cannot adapt to different production needs, and has poor production flexibility and adaptability.

The output shaft of the second motor 44 is connected to a second transmission shaft 441, which passes through the two second bearing seats 32. The two driving wheels 41 are sleeved on the second transmission shaft 441. The second motor 44 drives the two driving wheels 41 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two second conveyor belts 43 to move synchronously along the longitudinal direction.

[0031] Two robotic arms are provided for gripping the mandrel. Each robotic arm includes a lifting arm 51, a connecting plate 52 connected to the upper end of the lifting arm 51, a cylinder 53 connected to the lower end of the lifting arm 51, and a gripper 54 connected to the cylinder 53.

[0034] Furthermore, a cable chain 15 is provided on the support beam 10 and between the connecting plate 52 and the second bearing seat 32, and the cable chain 15 is provided with wires and air pipes on its inner side.

[0035] When this utility model is in use, the above-mentioned robotic arm mechanism 100 is installed on the upper mounting frame 201 of the slitting machine 200. The first motor 24 is started, causing the first conveyor belt 23 to move horizontally back and forth, thereby driving the mounting bracket to move horizontally back and forth. The second motor 44 is started, causing the second conveyor belt 43 to move up and down back and forth, thereby driving the lifting arm 51, cylinder 53 and gripper 54 to move up and down back and forth. The cylinder 53 below the robotic arm controls the gripper 54 to move back and forth, so as to facilitate the gripping and transporting of the mandrel through the gripper 54, and to transport and place the mandrel to the preset position.

[0036] The aforementioned slitting machine operating robot mechanism 100 drives the robot to move laterally and longitudinally by setting a horizontal drive component and a vertical drive component respectively, so that the robot can quickly adjust the grasping and placing actions, transport the mandrel and place it in the preset position, speed up the production process, improve the flexibility and adaptability of production, adapt to different production needs, and improve production efficiency.
