Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically relating to an automatic chain weaving machine. Background Technology

[0002] When driving on icy, muddy, mountainous, or steep roads, snow chains need to be installed on the tires beforehand to increase friction between the tires and the road surface, prevent the vehicle from skidding or fishtailing, ensure driving safety, and enable the vehicle to start, get out of trouble, drive, and brake smoothly.

[0003] The existing anti-skid chain assembly device places the chain to be processed into the positioning block for fixation, then drives the servo motor to move the sliding frame on the working belt. After moving into position, the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder drives the upper mold to press, thus completing the processing of the chain. During the processing on the left side of the working belt, the chain can be placed on the right side of the working belt. After the processing on the left side of the working belt is completed, the processing on the right side of the working belt is carried out, and so on.

[0004] However, the existing technology has the following problems: each movement of the sliding frame needs to be precisely controlled, otherwise it is easy to cause a large alignment deviation between the upper mold and the positioning block after the upper mold is pressed down, which may lead to damage to the positioning block or the buckle, or even cause the buckle to break out. Further improvement is necessary. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic chain weaving machine to solve the problems in the prior art, such as high requirements for the movement control of the sliding frame and the easy damage to the positioning block and buckle when the upper mold is pressed down.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An automatic chain weaving machine includes a frame, a plate chain, and a driver. The plate chain is mounted on the frame, and the driver is connected to the plate chain for driving its operation. One end of the frame is a feeding end, and the other end is a discharging end. A support column is provided on the frame near the discharging end, and an upper die drive cylinder is mounted on the support column. An upper die is mounted on the end of the hydraulic rod of the upper die drive cylinder. Lower dies that cooperate with the upper dies are arranged on the plate chain. The upper die drive cylinder drives the upper dies to press down, pressing the buckles of the anti-slip chain to be processed on the lower dies.

[0008] In this invention, the anti-skid chain to be processed is fed into the feeding end, where the anti-skid chain and buckle are fed. The anti-skid chain is placed on the plate chain, and the buckle is placed on the lower die and fastened to both sides of the anti-skid chain. The plate chain is driven by a driver, which moves the lower die to below the upper die. Then, the upper die drive cylinder drives the upper die to press down, pressing the buckle of the anti-skid chain to be processed, so that the buckle and the fastening points on both sides of the anti-skid chain are completely closed, thus realizing the processing of the anti-skid chain. Since the support column is fixed, the upper die drive cylinder is fixed relative to the frame when processing the anti-skid chain. Only one position is needed for the die alignment. Thus, the overall structure of this automatic chain weaving machine is relatively simple, highly practical, and the configuration cost of the servo controller that controls the driver is low.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of sprockets are installed inside the frame along its length, and the plate chain is wound around the sprockets; the driver is installed at one end of the frame, and the output end of the driver is connected to the sprocket near the driver via a transmission component.

[0010] Furthermore, the plate chain includes a chain and chain plates arranged and installed on the chain. The chain plates have mounting openings on both sides for installing the lower molds. Two lower molds on each chain plate form a group.

[0011] The lower die is detachably mounted on the chain plate, allowing for replacement, repair, and maintenance as needed.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower mold has a first notch and / or a second notch, the first notch and the second notch having different dimensions, and the shapes of the first notch and the second notch matching the snap fastener. The first notch and the second notch can be set individually or simultaneously, and can be selected as needed during use, offering high flexibility and practicality.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one positioning post is provided in the middle of the chain plate, which is used to position the anti-skid chain to be processed.

[0014] Furthermore, a crossbeam is provided in the middle of the support column, and a pad is installed on the crossbeam, with the pad located below the upper mold.

[0015] Furthermore, a dust-collecting component is installed at one end of the frame near the unloading end, and there is a gap between the dust-collecting component and the plate chain. The dust-collecting component can collect dust from the lower mold on the plate chain that moves into the gap.

[0016] Furthermore, the vacuuming component includes a vacuuming chamber, a first vacuuming nozzle, a brush, and a second vacuuming nozzle arranged vertically on the side wall of the vacuuming chamber. The first and second vacuuming nozzles are connected to the interior of the vacuuming chamber, and the vacuuming chamber is connected to an air extraction pipe. The first vacuuming nozzle is used to perform a primary vacuuming of the lower mold, the brush is used to clean the lower mold, and the second vacuuming nozzle is used to perform a secondary vacuuming of the cleaned lower mold.

[0017] The dust extraction device is designed to clean up iron filings, impurities, or dust generated during the pressing process, thus avoiding any impact on the processing environment. At the same time, the cleaned lower mold will not affect the assembly and pressing of the buckle during subsequent continuous processing.

[0018] Furthermore, side guard plates are installed on both sides of the top of the frame, and cover plates are installed on both sides of the frame.

[0019] The utility model adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0020] This utility model provides an automatic chain weaving machine. An upper die drive cylinder drives the upper die to press down, pressing the buckles of the anti-skid chain to be processed, ensuring complete closure between the buckles and the fastening points on both sides of the anti-skid chain, thus completing the processing of the anti-skid chain. Since the support column is fixed, the upper die drive cylinder is fixed relative to the frame during processing, requiring only alignment of the pressing die at one position. Therefore, the overall structure of this automatic chain weaving machine is relatively simple and highly practical. A dust collection component cleans away iron filings, impurities, or dust generated during pressing, preventing any impact on the processing environment. Simultaneously, during subsequent continuous processing using the cleaned lower die, iron filings and other debris will not affect the assembly and pressing of the buckles. The dust collection component has a simple structure, high practicality, and low added cost. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are only for reference to the directions in the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an automatic chain weaving machine according to an embodiment of this utility model includes a frame 100, a plate chain 101, and a driver 109. The plate chain 101 is mounted on the frame 100, and the driver 109 is connected to the plate chain 101 for driving its operation. Side guard plates 102 are installed on both sides of the top of the frame 100, and cover plates are installed on both sides of the frame 100. After removing the cover plates, the plate chain 101 can be repaired and maintained, such as adjusting the tension of the plate chain 101 and adding lubricating oil. One end of the frame 100 is designated as the feeding end, and the other end is designated as the unloading end. Figure 3The left end is the unloading end, and the right end is the feeding end. A support column 103 is installed on the frame 100 near the feeding end. The support column 103 and the frame 100 are independent and do not affect each other. A mounting surface 105 is provided on the top of the support column 103, and an upper mold drive cylinder 104 is mounted on the mounting surface 105. The upper mold drive cylinder 104 is a hydraulic cylinder. An upper mold 107 is installed at the end of the hydraulic rod of the upper mold drive cylinder 104. Lower molds 111 that cooperate with the upper mold 107 are arranged on the plate chain 101. The upper mold drive cylinder 104 drives the upper mold 107 to press down, pressing the buckle D of the anti-skid chain to be processed on the lower mold 111 (see reference). Figure 9 Press together.

[0035] In fact, such as Figure 9 The image shows an anti-skid chain processed by an automatic chain weaving machine in this embodiment, including an anti-skid chain body C, a tightening chain B, and a buckle D. The anti-skid chain body C is laid on the plate chain 101; the tightening chain B is placed on both sides of the anti-skid chain body C; before the buckle D is pressed, the ends of both ends of the buckle D can pass through the tightening chain B and be fastened to the anti-skid chain body C. Then, wait for the ends of the buckle D to be pressed.

[0036] For example, the upper mold 107 is made of hard high-strength alloy plate. The top of the alloy plate is connected to the end of the hydraulic rod of the upper mold drive cylinder 104. The bottom of the alloy plate is provided with an inclined plate. The inclined plate contacts the end of the snap fastener D and presses down on the end of the snap fastener D, so that the end of the snap fastener D is pressed together, thereby realizing the chaining (or assembly) of the anti-skid chain.

[0037] In this embodiment, the automatic chain weaving machine is powered on and the anti-skid chain to be processed is fed. The anti-skid chain and buckle D are fed from the feeding end. The anti-skid chain is placed on the plate chain 101, and the buckle D is placed on the lower mold 111 and fastened to both sides of the anti-skid chain. The tightening chain can be placed on the lower mold 111 or the side guard plate 102. The driver 109 can be a stepper motor, which is installed in the frame 100 through the mounting bracket 110. The drive 109 drives the plate chain 101 to rotate, which in turn moves the lower die 111 to below the upper die 107. The upper die drive cylinder 104 then drives the upper die 107 to press down, pressing the buckles D of the anti-skid chain to be processed, ensuring complete closure between the buckles D and the fasteners on both sides of the anti-skid chain, thus completing the processing of the anti-skid chain. When pressing the buckles D, only one position needs to be aligned with the die. The drive 109 uses a stepper drive, which can sequentially move the buckles D to the same position and control the upper die drive cylinder 104 to reciprocate, driving the upper die 107 to press down and separate. This achieves the chain weaving of the anti-skid chain. The pressed anti-skid chain is then unloaded from the feeding end, resulting in a high degree of automation. This automatic chain weaving machine has a relatively simple overall structure and high practicality. The servo controller controlling the drive 109 uses a stepper drive, a mature technology with low configuration costs.

[0038] In this embodiment, a plurality of sprockets are installed inside the frame 100 along its length, and the plate chain 101 is wound around the sprockets; the driver 109 is installed at the right end of the frame 100, and the output end of the driver 109 is connected to the sprocket near the driver 109 via a transmission component. The transmission component includes a transmission wheel and a transmission belt 108.

[0039] For example, a truss is installed inside the frame 100, bearing holes are machined in the truss, and bearings are installed to facilitate the installation of sprockets; a plate chain 101 is wound around the sprocket. Figure 6 As shown, the chain 101 includes a chain and chain plates 116 arranged and mounted on the chain. Each chain plate 116 has mounting openings on both sides for mounting lower dies 111. Two lower dies 111 on each chain plate 116 form a group. Correspondingly, an upper die drive cylinder 104 is also provided in a group, consisting of two cylinders. The chain meshes with a sprocket, and the driver 109 drives the chain to rotate via the sprocket. The rotation of the chain, in turn, drives the arranged chain plates 116 to rotate.

[0040] For example, one of the sprockets can be configured to extend and retract along the length of the frame 100, thereby adjusting the tension of the plate chain 101 so that the drive of the plate chain 101 by the driver 109 can always maintain a consistent step size. A bearing housing 106 is installed inside the frame 100, through which the sprocket is mounted.

[0041] In this embodiment, screw holes are machined at the four corners of the lower mold 111. The lower mold 111 is installed in the mounting port by screws passing through the screw holes. In this way, the lower mold 111 can be detachably installed on the chain plate 116, and the lower mold 111 can be replaced, repaired and maintained as needed.

[0042] For example, the lower mold 111 has a first notch 117, which is U-shaped and the opening of the U-shape faces the middle of the chain plate 116. When processing the anti-skid chain, the buckle D is placed into the first notch 117 and waits for it to be pressed together.

[0043] For example, a second notch 118 is provided on the lower mold 111. The second notch 118 is U-shaped, and the opening of the U-shape faces the middle of the chain plate 116. When processing the anti-skid chain, the buckle D is placed into the second notch 118 and waits for it to be pressed together. In fact, the first notch 117 and the second notch 118 have the same shape but different dimensions, and the shapes of the first notch 117 and the second notch 118 match the buckle D. Of course, in this embodiment, when processing different anti-skid chains, the anti-skid chain body C can be placed on the chain plate 116, and the chain plate 116 can accommodate anti-skid chain bodies C of various specifications; the tightening chain B is placed on the side guard plate 102.

[0044] For example, the lower mold 111 has a first notch 117 and a second notch 118. The first notch 117 and the second notch 118 have different dimensions and their shapes match the snap fastener D. The first notch 117 and the second notch 118 can be set individually or simultaneously. In use, they can be selected as needed, which is highly flexible and practical.

[0045] For example, a connecting hole is machined on the chain plate 116, through which the chain plate 116 can be installed onto the chain; and this detachable installation method allows for convenient replacement of the chain plate 116 or the lower mold 111.

[0046] In this embodiment, a positioning post is provided in the middle of the chain plate 116. The positioning post is used to position the anti-skid chain to be processed. For example, when the middle of the anti-skid chain body C is connected by a round buckle, the positioning post can position the round buckle to prevent the anti-skid chain body C from shifting during the operation of the chain plate 101. In addition, two or three equilateral positioning posts are provided in the middle of the chain plate 116 to limit the anti-skid chain body C.

[0047] In this embodiment, a crossbeam is provided in the middle of the support column 103, and a pad 115 is installed on the crossbeam. The pad 115 is located below the upper mold 107.

[0048] The crossbeam and the pad 115 can be connected by snap-fit ​​or overlap, allowing for easy replacement of the pad 115. The pad 115 supports the lower mold 111, ensuring that the lower mold 111 is fully supported when the upper mold 107 is pressed down.

[0049] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a dust suction component 112 is installed at one end of the frame 100 near the unloading end. There is a gap between the dust suction component 112 and the plate chain 101. The dust suction component 112 can suction the lower mold 111 on the plate chain 101 that has moved to the gap.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the dust collection component 112 includes a dust collection chamber, a first dust collection nozzle 114, a brush 120, and a second dust collection nozzle 121 arranged vertically on the side wall of the dust collection chamber. The first dust collection nozzle 114 and the second dust collection nozzle 121 are connected to the inside of the dust collection chamber, which is connected to an air extraction pipe. The first dust collection nozzle 114 is used to perform a primary dust collection on the lower mold 111, the brush 120 is used to clean the lower mold 111, and the second dust collection nozzle 121 is used to perform a secondary dust collection on the cleaned lower mold 111. In this way, the dust collection component 112 cleans the iron filings, impurities, or dust generated during pressing, avoiding affecting the processing environment. At the same time, during subsequent continuous processing of the cleaned lower mold 111, iron filings and other debris will not affect the assembly and pressing of the buckle D.

[0051] For example, a mounting post 119 is welded between the first suction nozzle 114 and the second suction nozzle 121, and a brush 120 is mounted on the mounting post 119; the brush 120 is removable and replaceable. The first suction nozzle 114, the mounting post 119, and the second suction nozzle 121 are arranged around the operating path of the plate chain 101 and at a certain distance from the plate chain 101, so as to complete the suction and cleaning without affecting the operation of the plate chain 101; it is highly practical.

[0052] For example, a connection interface 113 is provided on the back of the dust collection chamber, through which an air extraction pipeline is connected; the air extraction pipeline includes an air extraction pipe, a solenoid valve, and an air pump. A dust collection plate 122 is provided extending from the bottom of the dust collection chamber to collect iron filings, impurities, etc. that fall through the dust collection plate 122, and then recycles them periodically.

[0053] For example, the driver 109 is electrically connected to a PLC controller, which controls the driver 109. The PLC controller is connected to a solenoid valve and an air pump, and the solenoid valve and air pump can be controlled by the PLC controller to achieve negative pressure dust collection.

[0054] This embodiment provides an automatic chain weaving machine that feeds anti-skid chains and buckles D from the feeding end. The anti-skid chains are placed on the plate chain 101, and the buckles D are placed on the lower die 111 and fastened to both sides of the anti-skid chains. The plate chain 101 is driven by the driver 109 to rotate, and the rotation of the plate chain 101 drives the lower die 111 to move below the upper die 107. Then, the upper die drive cylinder 104 drives the upper die 107 to press down, pressing the buckles D of the anti-skid chains to be processed, so that the buckles D are completely closed with the fastening points on both sides of the anti-skid chains, thus realizing the processing of the anti-skid chains. Since the support column 103 is fixed, the upper die drive cylinder 104 is fixed relative to the frame 100 when processing the anti-skid chains. Only one position is needed for die alignment. Thus, the overall structure of this automatic chain weaving machine is relatively simple, highly practical, and the configuration cost of the servo controller that controls the driver 109 is low.

[0055] The above provides a detailed description of the automatic chain weaving machine provided by this utility model. The specific embodiments are described only to aid in understanding the method and core concept of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
