[0032] In traditional technology, the film roll loading process involves the following steps: First, an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) precisely transports the film roll to a preset position. Then, the operator manually removes the heavy film roll from the packaging box and proceeds to the film cutting machine to remove the installed air shaft. Next, the air shaft must be manually and laboriously inserted into the material shaft of the film roll. Then, the film roll with the air shaft attached is rolled to the loading position on the cutting machine. The slots of the air shaft are visually aligned with the latches at the loading position, and then the latches are tightened and secured to the slots of the air shaft. Finally, the film roll is lifted to a designated height, and its position on the air shaft is adjusted. After adjustment, the air shaft is restarted to firmly secure the film roll, preparing it for subsequent processing. This entire loading process in traditional technology is cumbersome, difficult to operate, and inefficient.
[0033] Based on this, the first aspect of this application provides a coil assembly apparatus, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the material roll assembly device includes a material roll transfer mechanism 100 and a roll transfer mechanism 200.
[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material roll transfer mechanism 100 includes a carrier 110, which is used to place the material roll and adjust its position. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the reel transfer mechanism 200 includes a first bracket 210, and at least one clamp 220 and a driver 230 disposed on the first bracket 210; the clamp 220 is movably disposed on the first bracket 210 and is used to clamp and fix the reel; the driver 230 is connected to the clamp 220 and is used to drive the clamp 220 to move and assemble the reel into the material roll.
[0035] This application utilizes a carrier 110 to place and adjust the position of the material roll, and a clamp 220 to clamp and transfer the roll. The material roll transfer mechanism 100 and the roll transfer mechanism 200 cooperate with each other to align the material roll and the roll coaxially. Then, the clamp 220 is used to insert the roll into the material roll to complete the assembly. There is no need for manual handling and adjustment of the material roll and the air shaft, which effectively improves the assembly efficiency.
[0036] It is understood that in this application, "material roll" refers to a material in a rolled form, such as a film roll. Furthermore, a reel is provided within the material roll for winding or unwinding; for example, it can be an air-expanding shaft.
[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the carrier 110 includes a carrier base 111 and a first lifter 112. The first lifter 112 is connected to the carrier base 111 and is used to drive the carrier base 111 to move vertically. Optionally, the carrier base 111 has a groove for placing the material roll, which can be an arc-shaped plate. The arc diameter of the groove can be the same as the diameter of the material roll to ensure that the material roll is stably placed in the carrier base 111. This application uses the carrier base 111 to place the material roll, which can realize the limiting and fixing of the material roll. Furthermore, the first lifter 112 can also realize the lifting and lowering of the material roll, facilitating the positioning and assembly of the material roll and the reel.
[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the carrier 110 also includes a guide plate 113, which is disposed at one end of the carrier 111. The guide plate 113 is used to slide the material roll into the carrier 111. Optionally, the angle between the guide plate 113 and the plane of the carrier 111 is 10° to 30°. In this application, the guide plate 113 can directly dock with the AGV trolley. The material roll in the AGV trolley only needs to be pushed onto the guide plate 113 to transfer the material roll into the carrier 111, which greatly reduces the handling intensity and improves the loading efficiency.
[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the clamp 220 includes a first telescopic member 221 and a clamping member. One end of the first telescopic member 221 is slidably mounted on the first bracket 210, and the other end is connected to the clamping member. The first telescopic member 221 is used to adjust the relative position between the clamping member and the first bracket 210, and the clamping member is used to clamp the roll. Optionally, a motion track is provided on the first bracket 210, and the direction of the motion track is perpendicular to the projection of the telescopic direction of the first telescopic member 221 onto the horizontal plane. That is, by adjusting the telescopic member 221 and adjusting it along the motion track, the clamping member can be adjusted to any position in the horizontal direction, improving the positional accuracy of the assembly of the material roll and the roll.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the clamping component includes a first clamp 222, a second clamp 223, and a slide rail 224. The first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 are disposed opposite to each other on the slide rail 224, which is connected to the telescopic end of the first telescopic member 221. The first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 move relative to each other in the vertical direction on the slide rail 224 to clamp or release the spool. Optionally, the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 each have an arc-shaped clamping portion. The opening direction of the arc-shaped clamping portion in the first clamp 222 and the opening direction of the arc-shaped clamping portion in the second clamp 223 are opposite to each other, for example, they can be disposed opposite to each other in the vertical direction. The clamping and releasing of the spool is achieved by the relative movement of the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223. In this application, by setting a slide rail 224 that allows the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 to move in the vertical direction, it is possible not only to clamp and release the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223, but also to adjust the position of the scroll in the vertical direction after the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 clamp and fix the scroll.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the driver 230 includes a first driving member 231 and a second driving member 232. The first driving member 231 drives the gripper 220 to move horizontally, and the second driving member 232 drives the gripper 220 to move vertically. Optionally, the first driving member 231 is mounted on the first bracket 210 and drives the first telescopic member 221 to move along the motion track. The second driving member 232 is mounted on the first bracket 210 and drives the motion track to move vertically. It can be understood that the horizontal direction can be the direction on the horizontal plane where the axial direction of the material roll is located, and the vertical direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane where the central axis of the material roll is located.
[0042] In some embodiments, the reel transfer mechanism 200 includes two clamps 220, which respectively clamp the opposite ends of the reel. In this application, two clamps 220 can be used to clamp the opposite ends of the reel, thereby improving transfer stability and assembly efficiency. It is understood that when using two clamps 220, during the insertion of the reel into the material roll, once the reel and the material roll are aligned, the clamp 220 closer to the material roll opens, releasing the clamping and fixing of the reel. Alternatively, the second clamp 223 located at the lower end of the air shaft can remain stationary, while the first clamp 222 located at the upper end moves upward to release the clamp, ensuring the overall stability of the air shaft. The clamp 220 farther from the material roll maintains the clamping and fixing of the reel, while simultaneously moving towards the material roll, thereby driving the reel to move and insert into the material roll, completing the installation. After installation, both clamps 220 release their clamping and fixing of the reel.
[0043] The second aspect of this application provides a feeding device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding device includes the roll assembly device as described in the first aspect, and also includes a second support 300 and a bracket 400.
[0044] The material roll transfer mechanism 100 is mounted on the second support 300. Two brackets 400 are respectively movably mounted on the second support 300 on opposite sides of the carrier 110. The two brackets 400 cooperate to support the roll in the assembled material roll and drive the material roll to move for feeding.
[0045] The feeding device of this application, by setting a bracket 400, can feed the assembled material roll with a spool. During the feeding process, the position of the material roll on the air expansion shaft can also be adjusted to ensure the accuracy of the feeding position.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bracket 400 includes a bracket 410 and a second lifter 420. The second lifter 420 is mounted on the second support 300 and connected to the bracket 410. The second lifter 420 is used to drive the bracket 410 to move vertically. Optionally, the bracket 410 can be an arc-shaped bracket 410, which can match the reel to ensure stability during the feeding process.
[0047] In some embodiments, the bracket 400 further includes a second telescopic member 430, one end of which is connected to the second lifter 420 and the other end to the bracket 410. The second telescopic member 430 is used to adjust the relative distance between the bracket 410 and the second support 300. The second lifter 420 drives the second telescopic member 430 to move the bracket 410 in the vertical direction. By setting the second telescopic member 430 to adjust the relative distance between the bracket 410 and the second support 300, this application facilitates the alignment of the slots on the roll and the feeding buckles during the feeding process, thereby improving feeding efficiency and reducing feeding difficulty.
[0048] In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a controller, which is electrically connected independently to the carrier 110, the bracket 400, the clamp 220 and the driver 230, and independently controls the operation of each device.
[0049] By way of example, a method for assembling and feeding film rolls using the above-mentioned feeding device is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0050] S1. Film roll preparation: Use an AGV trolley to deliver the film roll to the carrier seat 111. After manually removing the outer packaging, push the film roll onto the guide plate 113 and let it roll into the carrier seat 111.
[0051] S2, Air shaft gripping: The second drive member 232 drives the clamp 220 to adjust to a predetermined height, and then the first telescopic member 221 moves the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 to the upper and lower sides of the air shaft respectively. After the positions of the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 are aligned, the driver 230 controls the first clamp 222 and the second clamp 223 to move relative to each other to clamp and fix the air shaft.
[0052] S3. Assembly of the air shaft and film roll: The height of the film roll is adjusted using the first lifter 112, and the height of the air shaft is adjusted using the driver 230 to make the axial height of the air shaft consistent with the axial height of the film roll. Then, the horizontal placement of the air shaft is adjusted by the first telescopic member 221 so that the air shaft is coaxial with the film roll. The clamp 220 is driven to insert the air shaft into the film roll. When the clamp 220 on the side closer to the film roll reaches the edge of the first bracket 210, the first clamp 222 above the air shaft releases its clamping fixation on the air shaft, and the second clamp 223 below maintains its support for the air shaft. At the same time, the clamp 220 on the side away from the film roll continues to move along the first bracket 210 to drive the air shaft into the film roll. When the assembly is completed, the clamps 220 release their clamping fixation on the air shaft and reset.
[0053] S4. Preparation for film roll loading: Adjust the position of bracket 410 using the second telescopic component 430 so that bracket 410 corresponds to the position of the air shaft assembled on the film roll. Use the second lifter 420 to lift bracket 410 and press against the air shaft to lift the air shaft so that the film roll leaves the carrier seat 111. At this time, the position of the film roll on the air shaft can be manually adjusted. Continue to adjust the second telescopic component 430 and the second lifter 420 so that the slot on the air shaft corresponds to the loading buckle position of the film cutting machine.
[0054] S5. Film roll loading: Engage the slot of the air shaft with the loading buckle of the film cutting machine, and inflate the air shaft to complete the film roll loading.
[0055] In summary, this application utilizes the carrier 110 to place and adjust the position of the material roll, and the clamp 220 to clamp and transfer the roll. The material roll transfer mechanism 100 and the roll transfer mechanism 200 cooperate with each other to align the material roll and the roll coaxially. Then, the clamp 220 is used to insert the roll into the material roll to complete the assembly. There is no need for manual handling and adjustment of the material roll and the air shaft, which effectively improves the assembly efficiency.
[0056] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0057] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
