Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spoke manufacturing technology, and more specifically to a device for forming tapered sections at the ends of spokes. Background Technology
[0002] The applicant proposed a scheme for forming a tapered structure at the end of a carbon fiber spoke in a previous application. Generally speaking, a tapered section is designed at the end of the spoke, with the outer diameter of this section gradually increasing towards the end of the spoke. A metal component at the spoke end can form a length-direction limiting fit with this tapered section, thereby fixing the metal component to the spoke body. This solves the problem of difficulty in firmly connecting the metal component at the end of the carbon fiber spoke to the carbon fiber spoke body. Furthermore, after assembly onto the rim, the length-direction limiting fit between the tapered section and the metal component effectively ensures that the spoke has good performance in bearing the tensile forces of the rim and hub along its length. (Refer to...) Figure 1 In the process of forming the tapered section, the applicant designed a flexible tapered piece. This tapered piece unfolds into a right-angled triangle on a plane, having two right-angled sides and a hypotenuse. One right-angled side can be attached to the spoke end, with its extension direction aligned with the extension direction of the spoke body. The tapered piece attached to the spoke end is then wound around the spoke end. Due to the triangular shape of the tapered piece, a tapered section with an outer diameter that gradually increases towards the end of the spoke is automatically formed. Before forming the tapered section, the metal parts on the spoke can be fitted onto the spoke body. After the tapered section is formed, the metal parts are then fitted onto the tapered section to create a limiting fit.
[0003] Currently, the forming process of the taper section at the spoke end is generally carried out manually. After the material is cut into a tapered piece by hand, it is then manually wound around the spoke end to form the taper section. This method has the problems of low production efficiency and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems in the prior art and to provide a spoke end taper section forming device.

[0018] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] Technical solution one provides a spoke end taper section forming equipment. The forming equipment mainly includes a frame, an adhesion component, a displacement component, and a winding component. The forming equipment can automatically wind a tapered sheet to the end of the spoke to form a taper section, which can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.
[0020] The adhesive assembly includes a placement section on which the conical sheet can be laid flat. The displacement assembly includes a receiving groove, a first displacement mechanism, and a second displacement mechanism. The receiving groove can accommodate the spokes, and when the spokes are placed in the receiving groove, the ends of the spokes can protrude from the receiving groove in a first direction, thus facilitating the subsequent winding of the conical sheet onto the exposed ends of the spokes. The first displacement mechanism can move the spokes between the adhesive station and the winding station. After the spokes have the conical sheet adhered to their ends at the adhesive station, they can move to the winding station under the action of the first displacement mechanism, and the winding assembly can wind the conical sheet to the ends. The second displacement mechanism can move the spokes up and down at the adhesive station so that the spokes sit on the conical sheet and adhere the conical sheet.
[0021] During adhesion, the conical sheet is first laid flat on the placement section of the adhesion assembly. Then, the spokes are placed in the receiving groove of the displacement assembly, with the ends of the spokes exposed. At this time, the second displacement mechanism of the displacement assembly holds the spokes in a higher position to avoid interference between the spokes and the adhesion assembly during placement. The second displacement mechanism then moves the spokes downwards, allowing them to settle on the placement section and adhere the conical sheet. After adhesion is complete, the second displacement mechanism lifts the spokes to remove the conical sheet from the placement section. Then, the first displacement mechanism moves the spokes along a second direction to the winding station.
[0022] The winding assembly includes a rotary drive mechanism and at least one winding mechanism. The winding mechanism can rotate around a first axis under the action of the rotary drive mechanism. The winding mechanism includes a radial drive unit and winding components. The radial drive unit can drive multiple winding components to move closer or further apart to each other radially simultaneously or asynchronously. When these winding components move away from each other, a winding space is formed between them. The end of the spoke can be moved into the winding space. Then, under the action of the radial drive unit, these winding components move closer to each other and contact the end of the spoke. Then, the rotary drive mechanism drives the winding mechanism to rotate, and the winding components also rotate accordingly. During the rotation of the winding components, the winding components apply pressure to the tapered plate, causing the tapered plate to deform. At the same time, the tapered plate is pressed against the end sidewall of the spoke. As the winding mechanism rotates, the winding components rotate around the end of the spoke one or more times until the tapered plate is completely attached to the end of the spoke and forms a tapered section. The tapered blade can be accurately and efficiently wound into a tapered section that surrounds the end of the spokes using the winding assembly. The rotary drive mechanism and the winding mechanism in the winding assembly work together to achieve the winding action of the tapered blade.
[0023] Furthermore, the tapered blade attached to the spoke end is in an unfolded state before winding, with only one edge adhering to the spoke end. When the spoke is placed in the receiving groove, the unfolded and laid-out direction of the tapered blade may be different. However, during winding, it is essential to ensure that the tapered blade contacts the winding component in the correct manner to prevent the tapered blade from being squeezed by the winding component and becoming wrinkled or deformed. Such squeezing can also lead to winding failure of the tapered blade. Therefore, the second displacement mechanism not only plays a role in placing the spoke in the placement part during the adhesion station. Functionally, during the process of the spokes entering the position to be wound, the second displacement mechanism can also drive the spokes to move upward. Through this action in coordination with the position of the winding component, the conical blade can contact the winding component. By setting a certain direction of movement, the conical blade can bend in the direction of its winding direction. At this time, the conical blade will always maintain contact with the winding component. Then the winding components move closer to each other and contact the end of the spokes. After that, the winding mechanism is rotated in the correct direction, so that the conical blade is wound on the end of the spokes in the correct way.
[0024] In technical solution two, an adhesion groove is provided in the recessed placement section. When the conical plate is laid flat on the placement section, it spans the adhesion groove. The position of the spoke corresponds to the adhesion groove. As the spoke moves downward with the displacement assembly, the end of the spoke first contacts the conical plate. Then, under the action of the spoke, the conical plate deforms, and the spoke falls into the adhesion groove. The bent and deformed part of the conical plate contacts the outer surface of the spoke end. The design of the adhesion groove structure can increase the contact area between the conical plate and the outer surface of the spoke end, thereby improving the firmness of the adhesion between the conical plate and the spoke end. However, if the conical plate is laid flat on the placement section without an adhesion groove structure, when the spoke end sits on the placement section, since the shape of the spoke end is generally cylindrical, only a very small part contacts the conical plate. Thus, even if the spoke end is pressed by the clamping head, the improvement in the firmness of the adhesion is limited. Furthermore, and more importantly, by setting the adhesion groove, the conical piece can be placed on the placement section with greater redundancy. It's easy to understand that without the adhesion groove, during the adhesion of the conical piece, to avoid excess edge protruding from the spoke end and hindering subsequent adhesion processes, the spoke end needs to be positioned precisely at the straight edge of the conical piece. This requires extremely accurate placement of the conical piece, and the position of the spoke on the displacement assembly and the position of the displacement assembly relative to the adhesion assembly must always remain consistent. This obviously places higher demands on the overall manufacturing precision of the equipment, thus increasing manufacturing costs. In this technical solution, an adhesion groove is set on the placement section, and the conical piece is placed across the adhesion groove. Because the adhesion groove is relatively large, the spoke end can easily enter the adhesion groove. Simultaneously, the conical piece deforms with the movement of the spoke end, thus preventing the edge of the conical piece from protruding beyond the spoke end. Therefore, the placement position of the conical piece does not need to be precisely determined; only the portion of the conical piece spanning the other side of the adhesion groove needs to be roughly determined.
[0025] Furthermore, the structure of the adhesion groove is further refined, making its depth greater than the radius of the spoke end, and the groove edges extend towards each other relative to the groove wall, enhancing the wrapping effect of the tapered plate on the spoke end. When the spoke end enters the adhesion groove, the tapered plate can better wrap around the spoke end, forming a tighter fit, further improving adhesion strength and reliability. This structural design also helps prevent the tapered plate from shifting during adhesion, ensuring the accuracy of the adhesion position.
[0026] In technical solution three, the adhesion assembly also includes a rotating mechanism, a bevel cutting mechanism, and a feeding and cutting mechanism. The rotating mechanism has several placement parts arranged circumferentially. Each time the rotating mechanism stops rotating, the positions of these placement parts correspond one-to-one with preset feeding stations, bevel cutting stations, and adhesion stations. That is, before each rotation, each feeding station, bevel cutting station, and adhesion station has a corresponding placement part. After each rotation, the positions of these placement parts move to the next station. For example, when the feeding station and the bevel cutting station are adjacent, the placement part corresponding to the feeding station when the previous rotation stopped will correspond to the bevel cutting station when the current rotation stops. The workstations are configured such that the placement units can circulate between the loading station, the bevel cutting station, and the adhesion station via the intermittent rotation of the rotating mechanism. At the loading station, the material to be cut can be laid flat on the placement unit. At the bevel cutting station, the material can be cut by the bevel cutting assembly. At the adhesion station, the tapered piece obtained after cutting can be removed. The bevel cutting assembly is located at the position corresponding to the bevel cutting station. It can cut the material by the bevel cutting head that moves back and forth along the first direction, thereby obtaining a tapered piece with a bevel. Then, the rotating mechanism continues to rotate, and the placement unit with the tapered piece moves to the adhesion station, where the spokes can be adhered to the tapered piece.
[0027] In addition, a feeding and cutting mechanism is provided. This mechanism is located at the feeding station and has a feeding cutter head. The feeding cutter head can cut the raw material in a second direction, thereby obtaining the cut material placed on the placement section. Through the feeding and cutting mechanism, the automatic cutting and feeding of the raw material can be realized, further improving the degree of automation. At the same time, it also ensures the accurate cutting of the raw material, and can obtain cut material suitable for subsequent bevel cutting.
[0028] In technical solution four, a vacuum negative pressure device is installed, and the rotating mechanism includes a rotating disk and a placement block. The placement block has a first negative pressure channel to negatively adsorb and fix the material to be cut onto the placement part through a first negative pressure port located in the placement part. In this rotating mechanism, the material is fixed by vacuum adsorption, which can evenly adsorb the material onto the placement part, avoiding material deformation or displacement that may be caused by mechanical clamping, thus improving positioning accuracy and cutting stability. The placement block can be replaced independently, facilitating maintenance and replacement with placement blocks of different shapes or sizes to adapt to different materials and cutting requirements.
[0029] In technical solution five, the displacement assembly also includes a clamping mechanism. This clamping mechanism can hold and fix the spokes after they are placed in the receiving groove, thereby preventing the spokes from rotating or translating due to the influence of the rolling assembly during the tapered plate rolling process. In other words, the clamping mechanism further ensures the position and orientation of the spokes are fixed. Furthermore, in the process of attaching the tapered plate to the spokes, the clamping mechanism can also fix the spokes, ensuring that the second displacement mechanism can smoothly drive the spokes downwards and attach the tapered plate.
[0030] In technical solution six, each winding mechanism includes two winding components. These two winding components are arranged radially symmetrically along a first direction, and their facing surfaces respectively form a first winding surface and a second winding surface, both of which are planes perpendicular to the radial direction. The planar first and second winding surfaces can smoothly adhere to the sidewall of the spoke end during the winding process, preventing wrinkles or other irregular shapes from forming when the conical blade is wound. The symmetrical arrangement of the two winding components ensures the uniformity of force on the conical blade during the winding process, thus ensuring that the conical blade can be smoothly wound around the end of the spoke after winding. In addition, a relief portion is provided on the winding surface of the winding component. The recessed structure of the relief portion allows the spoke and the conical blade to be accommodated within the relief portion, thereby allowing the first and second winding surfaces of the two winding components to contact each other, making the contact between the winding component and the spoke tighter, and preventing wrinkles from forming on the conical blade during the winding process due to excessive gaps between the winding component and the spoke. Meanwhile, the design of the circular groove and the flat groove respectively plays a positioning role for the ends of the spokes and the conical plate, ensuring that the conical plate can be accurately wound around the ends of the spokes.
[0031] In technical solution seven, the winding component is designed as a roller. During the winding process, the roller also rotates around the second axis. While rotating, its circumferential surface remains in contact with the end of the spokes along the length of the spokes, converting sliding friction into rolling friction. This significantly reduces the friction between the winding component and the conical sheet. The lower friction makes the winding process smoother, reducing wear on the conical sheet caused by excessive friction, improving winding efficiency, and ensuring the integrity of the conical sheet. Compared to the winding component structures in the aforementioned technical solutions, the roller structure is simpler and has lower component costs. Furthermore, as long as the conical sheet correctly contacts the circumferential surface of the roller in the lifting mechanism, the roller can effectively complete the winding process, significantly improving the winding quality of the conical sheet.
[0032] In technical solution eight, a feeding assembly is set up. The feeding assembly corresponds to the loading station and includes a feeding moving mechanism and a pressing mechanism. The feeding moving mechanism has a receiving part for carrying the raw material. The pressing mechanism can move with the receiving part and has a pressing part facing the receiving part. The pressing part can cooperate with the receiving part to press the raw material. Then the feeding moving mechanism moves towards the placement part and places the raw material on the placement part. The loading and cutting mechanism then cuts the raw material. This feeding assembly enables automatic feeding and positioning of raw materials, fully automating the entire feeding process. It ensures the dimensional accuracy of the material being cut and the accuracy of its placement on the placement section. Specifically, the relative position of the feeding assembly and the placement section of the feeding station is fixed, guaranteeing the accuracy of the material's position along the third direction on the placement section. Simultaneously, the feeding moving mechanism within the feeding assembly moves a predetermined distance towards the placement section each time, moving the material forward a fixed distance along the third direction. This allows the end of the raw material with a defined length to be placed on the placement section, where it is then cut by the feeding and cutting mechanism. This ensures the accuracy of both the size and position of the material on the placement section, thereby improving the accuracy of the cutting position of the material by the bevel cutting assembly in the bevel cutting station.
[0033] In technical solution nine, the feeding assembly also includes a rolling mechanism that adheres the raw material to the release film to form a composite film roll. The shape of the composite film roll facilitates the storage of the raw material and avoids contamination. At the same time, the composite film roll can be easily fitted onto the feeding roller of the rolling mechanism. When the composite film roll passes through the feeding moving mechanism and the pressing mechanism, the raw material and the release film are separated. The recovery roller rotates synchronously to recover the release film, realizing the automatic separation of the material and the release film and the automatic recovery of the release film. It can also cooperate with the feeding moving mechanism and the pressing mechanism in the feeding assembly. Each mechanism works together during each feeding to achieve efficient and accurate feeding of the raw material.
[0034] In technical solution ten, a clamping assembly is provided, comprising a bevel clamping mechanism, a feeding clamping mechanism, and an adhesive clamping mechanism. The bevel clamping and feeding clamping mechanisms firmly clamp the material to be cut onto the placement part during the cutting process, preventing material movement or deformation due to the blade contacting and moving during cutting, thus ensuring cutting accuracy and the precision of the bevel shape. Simultaneously, a bevel cutting groove is provided on the bevel clamping head of the bevel clamping mechanism, providing a guide for the bevel blade, allowing it to cut along a predetermined trajectory, further improving the accuracy and quality of bevel cutting. The adhesive clamping mechanism can adhere a tapered piece to the spoke end and then move down to clamp the spoke end, ensuring a firm adhesion of the tapered piece. The downward pressure of the adhesive clamping head on the spoke solves the problem of weak adhesion between the spoke end and the tapered piece after it sits on the tapered piece.
[0035] In technical solution eleven, a waste removal component is installed at the waste removal station, located between the bevel cutting station and the adhesion station. At the waste removal station, the waste removal component removes the waste material (excluding the conical pieces) after the material has been cut from the placement area, facilitating accurate adhesion of the conical pieces to the spoke ends at the adhesion station. The waste removal component includes a waste removal adsorption head, which creates negative pressure and moves to the placement area to adsorb and fix the waste material. The adsorption head then moves horizontally in the fourth direction, stopping the negative pressure adsorption when it reaches a preset waste disposal position, thus disposing of the waste material at a specific location. Through this waste removal component and vacuum negative pressure device, waste generated during the cutting process can be automatically removed from the placement area, preventing waste accumulation, maintaining the cleanliness of the working area, and improving the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment.
[0036] In technical solution twelve, a negative pressure connecting component is installed to achieve independent control and distribution of vacuum negative pressure for multiple placement blocks. The first negative pressure port of each placement block is connected to the vacuum negative pressure device through independent second and third negative pressure channels, ensuring that the vacuum adsorption effect of each station is not affected by other stations, thus improving the reliability and stability of vacuum adsorption. The cooperation between the negative pressure drive mechanism and the negative pressure connecting component allows for precise control of the application and disconnection of negative pressure, thereby coordinating with the movement of the rotating disk. When the rotating disk rotates, the negative pressure connecting component moves upward, separating the second and third negative pressure ports. After the rotating disk stops rotating, the negative pressure connecting component moves downward, connecting the third negative pressure port with the next second negative pressure port on the rotating disk. This negative pressure connecting component solves the problem of difficult negative pressure pipeline layout caused by the rotation of the rotating disk in equipment, greatly simplifying the layout challenge of negative pressure pipelines.

[0077] Example 1
[0078] Reference Figure 2 Embodiment 1 of the present invention relates to a spoke end tapered section forming device. The forming device is suitable for winding a tapered sheet 12 to the spoke end to form a tapered section. It mainly includes a frame 20, an adhesion component 30, a displacement component 40, and a winding component 50. In addition, it also includes a vacuum negative pressure device, a feeding component 60, a pressing component 70, a waste discharge component 80, and a negative pressure communication component 90.
[0079] First refer to Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the structure of a spoke with tapered plates 12 attached. The spoke as a whole comprises a spoke body 10, connecting caps 11, and tapered plates 12. Two connecting caps 11 are fitted onto the spoke body 10 from both ends, and two tapered plates 12 are attached to the two ends of the spoke body 10. The tapered plates 12 are attached to the spoke body 10 using adhesive. One surface of the tapered plate 12 can be designed to be adhesive, so that during winding, this side surface is the inner side, preventing the tapered plate 12 from unraveling after adhesion. The triangular shape of the conical plate 12 allows it to automatically form a tapered section at the end of the spoke after adhesion. The size and shape of this tapered section are adapted to the size and shape of the through hole inside the connecting cap 11. The connecting cap 11 can be pulled outward to the position of the tapered section, and the tapered section forms a limiting fit between the connecting cap 11 and the spoke body 10 in the length direction, which can effectively improve the tensile force that the connecting cap 11 can withstand when pulled. In this embodiment, the spoke body 10 and the conical plate 12 are made of carbon fiber material, and the connecting cap 11 is made of metal. After the conical plate 12 is wrapped around the spoke body 10, a curing process can be used to solidify the conical plate 12 and the spoke body 10 into one, preventing the conical plate 12 from falling off the spoke body 10. After the two are solidified into one, the connecting cap 11 can be pulled to the position of the tapered section.
[0080] It should be noted that the molding equipment in this embodiment also includes the function of cutting the raw material into conical pieces 12. The raw material is a carbon fiber strip with a certain width. In this embodiment, the adhesive side of the carbon fiber strip is adhered to the release film and forms a composite film roll with the release film. During cutting, the carbon fiber strip and the release film in the composite film roll can be peeled off by the feeding component 60, and the carbon fiber strip is cut into rectangular cut materials. The cut materials are then cut into conical pieces 12 and waste. After that, the waste is discharged, the conical pieces 12 are adhered to the spoke ends, and then the conical pieces 12 are wound around the spoke ends to form a tapered section.
[0081] Before describing the molding equipment, it is necessary to explain the meaning of the directional terms in the specification and claims of this invention. (Refer to...) Figures 2 to 23 In this specification, front, back, left, right, up, and down are used as directional coordinates. The left and right directions correspond to the first and fourth directions in this specification and claims; the front and back directions correspond to the second and fifth directions in this specification and claims; and the up and down directions are the same as those in this specification and claims. The third direction in this specification and claims refers to any other direction inclined to the front and back and left and right directions.
[0082] Reference Figure 2 In the spoke end taper section forming equipment of this embodiment, the frame 20 defines an adhesion station 254 and a rolling station 255. It may also include a feeding station 251, a bevel cutting station 252, and a waste removal station 253. The approximate locations of these stations can be referenced... Figure 6 . Reference Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, all components are installed in the aforementioned frame 20. The frame 20 includes a main support as the supporting body and a platform 21 disposed above the main support. The platform 21 and the main support are connected by a slide rail 22 and a slider 23. Specifically, the main support is a table-shaped component, which can be manufactured using aluminum profiles or other materials. The platform 21 is a flat plate-shaped component, and there are two platforms 21, each mounted on the main support in the left-right direction. The slide rail 22 and the slider 23 cooperate to form a sliding structure. The slide rail 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the main support and extends in the left-right direction. The slider 23 is mounted on the slide rail 22 and can slide back and forth along the extension direction of the slide rail 22. The platform 21 is fixed to the slider 23 by bolts, so the platform 21 can slide relative to the main support in the left-right direction. Through the cooperation of the slide rail 22 and the slider 23, both platforms 21 can slide in the left-right direction, thereby adjusting the distance and position of the two platforms 21 in the left-right direction. A drive motor or drive cylinder can be installed on the frame 20 corresponding to each platform 21 to control the movement of the platform 21 automatically and to precisely adjust the position of the platform 21. In addition, the frame 20 also includes a planar drive mounting plate 24, which is fixedly installed above the platform 21 by a number of support rods extending vertically. The lower surface of the drive mounting plate 24 forms a clearance space between the lower surface of the drive mounting plate 24 and the upper surface of the platform 21. Parts of the clamping assembly 70 and the negative pressure communication assembly 90 are mounted on the drive mounting plate 24.
[0083] First, the adhesion component 30, the waste discharge component 80, and the negative pressure connection component 90 will be introduced.
[0084] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7and Figure 8 An adhesion assembly 30 is mounted on the frame 20 and has a placement portion 3121 suitable for holding the tapered piece 12 at the adhesion station 254. The placement portion 3121 is suitable for laying the tapered piece 12 flat. The placement portion 3121 is recessed and has an adhesion groove 3124 for the end of the spoke to fall into. The tapered piece 12 is laid flat across the adhesion groove 3124 in the placement portion 3121. The depth of the adhesion groove 3124 is greater than the end radius of the spoke, and the groove edge of the adhesion groove 3124 extends towards each other relative to its groove wall, so that after the end of the spoke adheres to the tapered piece 12 and falls into the adhesion groove 3124, the tapered piece 12 wraps around the end of the spoke.
[0085] The adhesion assembly 30 further includes a rotating mechanism 31, a bevel cutting mechanism 32, and a feeding cutting mechanism 33; the conical piece 12 is obtained by cutting material placed on the corresponding placement part 3121 through the bevel cutting mechanism 32, and the cutting material is obtained by cutting the original material placed on the corresponding placement part 3121 through the feeding cutting mechanism 33; the rotating mechanism 31 rotates intermittently relative to the frame 20 about a second axis in the vertical direction, and a plurality of placement parts 3121 are arranged circumferentially on the rotating mechanism 31, and when the rotating mechanism 31 stops rotating, one of the placement parts 3121 rotates to the feeding station 251, the bevel cutting station 252, and the adhesion station 254 defined by the frame 20; the feeding station 25... 1. The bevel cutting station 252 and the adhesion station 254 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the rotating mechanism 31; the bevel cutting mechanism 32 is located at the bevel cutting station 252, and is provided with a bevel cutting head 321 adapted to reciprocate along a third horizontal direction; the bevel cutting head 321 is adapted to cut the material on the placement part 3121 of the bevel cutting station 252 along the third direction to obtain a tapered piece 12 with a bevel; the feeding cutting mechanism 33 is located at the feeding station 251, and is provided with a feeding cutting head 331 adapted to reciprocate along a fourth horizontal direction; the feeding cutting head 331 is adapted to cut the original material along the fourth direction to obtain the material placed on the placement part 3121 of the feeding station 251.
[0086] Each time the rotating mechanism 31 stops rotating, a placement part 3121 rotates to a preset waste discharge station 253, which is located between the bevel cutting station 252 and the adhesion station 254. The waste discharge assembly 80 is mounted on the frame 20 and located at the waste discharge station 253. It is equipped with a waste discharge adsorption head 81 adapted to reciprocate along a horizontal sixth direction and includes an ejection mechanism 84 corresponding to the waste discharge station 253. The waste discharge adsorption head 81 is adapted to form a negative pressure through the vacuum negative pressure device to remove the waste located at the waste discharge station 254. The waste material separated from the conical plate 12 in the cutting material on the placement part 3121 of the waste discharge station 253 is carried away from the placement part 3121; the ejection mechanism 84 is provided with an ejection rod 841 adapted to reciprocate in the up and down direction; the placement block 312 is provided with an ejection channel 3125 that runs through in the up and down direction at the position corresponding to the waste material separated from the conical plate 12 in the cutting material; the ejection rod 841 is adapted to extend into the ejection channel 3125 and eject the waste material from the placement block 312, so as to cooperate with the waste discharge adsorption head 81 to carry away the waste material.
[0087] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The forming equipment involved in this embodiment of the invention is used to cut materials into tapered pieces 12 for winding spoke ends. The materials, as described in this specification and claims, include two types: one refers to pre-cut materials that have already been cut into rectangular shapes, and the other refers to raw materials that have not yet been cut to obtain pre-cut materials. These two types differ in different processes. When the material is cut using this cutting equipment, the final product is a tapered piece 12 with beveled edges. The shape of the tapered piece 12 can be as follows... Figure 1 The triangular shape shown can also be a right trapezoid with a hypotenuse. In this embodiment, the material is carbon fiber.
[0088] Reference Figure 6Four workstations are defined on the platform 21 of the frame 20. These four workstations correspond to the rotating mechanism 31 in the adhesion assembly 30. In a clockwise direction, they are, in order, the feeding workstation 251, the bevel cutting workstation 252, the waste removal workstation 253, and the adhesion workstation 254. The central angle between each of these four workstations is 90°, and they are all arranged around the second axis of the rotating mechanism 31 of the rotating conveying assembly. The rotating mechanism 31 rotates intermittently, and each rotation is 90°, so that each time it stops rotating, there is a placement part 3121 corresponding to a workstation. Among them, the feeding workstation 251 is used to place the cut material into the placement part 3121, the bevel cutting workstation 252 is used to cut the cut material into tapered parts and waste, the waste removal workstation 253 is used to remove the waste, and the adhesion workstation 254 is used to remove the tapered piece 12 or to complete other processes in conjunction with other devices. In addition, a winding station 255 is defined on the frame 20, which corresponds to the position of the winding assembly 50.
[0089] The negative pressure communication assembly 90 includes a negative pressure driving mechanism 91 and a negative pressure communication component 92; the rotating disk 311 is provided with a plurality of second negative pressure channels corresponding to the first negative pressure channels of each of the placement blocks 312, and each second negative pressure channel has a second negative pressure port 3111 at one end away from its corresponding placement block 312; each of the placement blocks 312 is evenly arranged at a predetermined first angle interval along the circumference of the rotating disk 311; the rotating disk 311 is adapted to rotate a predetermined second angle around a second axis each time, the second angle being equal to the first angle; the negative pressure driving mechanism 91 is mounted on the frame 20, and the negative pressure communication component 92 is fixed to the output end of the negative pressure driving mechanism 91 and is adapted to be connected by the negative pressure... The driving mechanism 91 drives the reciprocating motion along the first direction; the negative pressure connecting member 92 is provided with a plurality of third negative pressure channels communicating with the vacuum negative pressure device, and the vacuum negative pressure device independently supplies pressure to each of the third negative pressure channels; a second negative pressure port 3111 is formed at the end of each of the third negative pressure channels away from the vacuum negative pressure device; the first negative pressure port 3122 and the second negative pressure port 3111 are arranged in the same number at a predetermined third angle relative to the second axis, the third angle being equal to the first angle, and the negative pressure driving mechanism 91 is adapted to drive the negative pressure connecting member 92 to move toward the rotating disk 311 so that the second negative pressure port 3111 is connected to the first negative pressure port 3122 corresponding to a position.
[0090] The vacuum negative pressure device can be installed inside the frame 20 of the forming equipment. After being powered on, the vacuum negative pressure device generates negative pressure and delivers the pressure to the required position through the negative pressure pipeline, thereby achieving negative pressure adsorption of the workpiece. The vacuum negative pressure device is a conventional device for achieving negative pressure adsorption in this field, and will not be described in detail here.
[0091] Structural reference for placing block 312 Figure 10 , Figure 12 The component is roughly a rectangular block. A placement section 3121 is formed on the upper surface of the placement section 3121. The material to be cut can be placed on the placement section 3121, with the adhesive side facing upwards and the non-adhesive side facing downwards. The placement block 312 has several first negative pressure ports 3122 at the location of the placement section 3121. These first negative pressure ports 3122 are arranged in a regular pattern, and each first negative pressure port 3122 is designed to be relatively small. Adjacent first negative pressure ports 3122 are designed to have a small distance between them. This arrangement allows the negative pressure generated by the first negative pressure ports 3122 to act more evenly on the material when it is placed on the placement section 3121, preventing the material from deforming or bending due to negative pressure adsorption. The placement block 312 has a first negative pressure channel inside, which can be connected to a vacuum negative pressure device via a negative pressure pipeline. This creates negative pressure, attracting and fixing the cut material at the first negative pressure port 3122. It is important to note that the position of the first negative pressure port 3122 should roughly correspond to the range of the conical pieces 12 in the cut material; a first negative pressure port 3122 is not needed at the waste material location. The placement block 312 has a vertically penetrating ejection channel 3125 corresponding to the waste material location. The ejection rod 841 of the ejection mechanism 84 can move upwards to push the waste material above the ejection channel 3125 away from the placement block 312. Furthermore, referring to… Figure 8 A beveled clearance groove 4153123 is recessed on the top of the placement block 312. The position of the beveled clearance groove 4153123 corresponds to the cutting position of the material to be cut, which can make way for the beveled cutter head 321, allowing the beveled cutter head 321 to pass through the material in the vertical direction, ensuring that the material is cut to form a conical piece 12.
[0092] In addition, refer to Figure 13 Specifically, on the surface of the placement portion 3121 of the placement block 312, an adhesive groove 3124 is provided that extends through the upper surface of the placement block 312 in the left-right direction and is recessed downwards. The shape and size of the adhesive groove 3124 are approximately matched to the shape and size of the spoke end, but the size of the adhesive groove 3124 is slightly larger than the size of the spoke end to ensure that the spoke end can fall into the adhesive groove 3124. Furthermore, referring to... Figure 8When the conical piece 12 is placed, a portion of it will extend across the adhesive groove 3124, meaning the conical piece 12 will cover the adhesive groove 3124. However, the width of the conical piece 12 is obviously smaller than the width of the placement portion 3121, so the conical piece 12 will only cover a portion of the adhesive groove 3124. With this arrangement, since the position of the spoke corresponds to the adhesive groove 3124, as the spoke moves downward with the displacement assembly 40, the spoke end will first contact the conical piece 12. Then, under the action of the spoke, the conical piece 12 deforms, and the spoke falls into the adhesive groove 3124. The bent and deformed portion of the conical piece 12 will contact the outer surface of the spoke end. Designing the adhesive groove 3124 structure increases the contact area between the conical piece 12 and the outer surface of the spoke end, thereby improving the firmness of the conical piece 12's adhesion to the spoke end. If the conical plate 12 is laid flat on the placement part 3121 which does not have an adhesive groove 3124 structure, when the spoke end sits on the placement part 3121, since the spoke end is generally cylindrical, only a very small part will contact the conical plate 12. Thus, even if the spoke end is pressed by the clamping head, the improvement in the adhesion between the two is limited. Furthermore, and more importantly, by providing the adhesion groove 3124, the conical piece 12 can be placed on the placement part 3121 with greater redundancy in its placement position. It is easy to understand that if the adhesion groove 3124 is not provided, when adhering the conical piece 12, in order to avoid the conical piece 12 having excess edge protruding at the spoke end and hindering the subsequent adhesion process, it is necessary to ensure that the spoke end is located at the straight edge of the conical piece 12. This requires the placement position of the conical piece 12 to be extremely accurate. At the same time, the position of the spoke on the displacement component 40 and the position of the displacement component 40 relative to the adhesion component 30 must always remain consistent. This obviously places higher demands on the overall manufacturing precision of the equipment, thus increasing the manufacturing cost of the equipment. In this technical solution, an adhesion groove 3124 is provided on the placement part 3121, and the conical piece 12 is placed across the adhesion groove 3124. Since the adhesion groove 3124 is relatively large, the spoke end can easily enter the adhesion groove 3124. At the same time, the conical piece 12 will deform with the movement of the spoke end, thereby preventing the edge of the conical piece 12 from being exposed outside the spoke end. Therefore, the placement position of the conical piece 12 does not need to be determined very accurately, only the part of the conical piece 12 that spans across the other side of the adhesion groove 3124 needs to be roughly determined.
[0093] Furthermore, referring to Figure 21The cross-section of the adhesion groove 3124 is roughly semi-circular, with a slot formed above it, and the inner wall of the slot is arc-shaped to fit the cylindrical spoke end. The size of the groove is larger than the outer diameter of the spoke end to ensure that the spoke end can fall into the adhesion groove 3124. At the same time, the depth of the adhesion groove 3124 is greater than the radius of the spoke end. That is to say, when the spoke end falls into the adhesion groove 3124, the part of the spoke end exposed in the adhesion groove 3124 should be the upper part of the spoke end. Furthermore, the distance between the edge of the groove of the adhesion groove 3124 is less than the maximum distance between the groove wall of the adhesion groove 3124. This arrangement makes the adhesion groove 3124 form an inwardly enclosing open structure. When the spoke end and the conical piece 12 fall into the adhesion groove 3124 together, the groove and the groove wall of the adhesion groove 3124 will exert force on the conical piece 12, causing the conical piece 12 to adhere to the outer surface of the spoke end. At the same time, due to the shape design of the groove of the adhesion groove 3124 and the toughness of the material of the conical piece 12 itself, the conical piece 12 will wrap around the spoke end. The term "wrapping" here does not mean that the conical piece 12 completely surrounds the spoke end, but rather that the conical piece 12 partially covers the spoke end. For example, one edge of the conical piece 12 may wrap around the other edge and adhere to the spoke end. With this arrangement, when the spoke end enters the adhesion groove 3124, the conical piece 12 can better wrap around the spoke end, forming a tighter fit, further improving adhesion strength and reliability. It also helps prevent the conical piece 12 from shifting during adhesion, ensuring accurate adhesion positioning. Furthermore, when the clamping head presses down on the spoke end, it contacts the conical piece 12 located above the spoke end, thus adhering the conical piece 12 more firmly to the spoke end.
[0094] The rotating disk 311 is a cross-shaped plate-like component with four ends spaced 90° apart. Four placement blocks 312 are respectively fixedly installed at one end of the rotating disk 311. The rotating mechanism 31 also includes a rotating drive unit 313, which includes a rotating motor 3131 and a rotating connecting block 3132. The rotating motor 3131 is mounted below the platform 21 of the frame 20. The rotating connecting block 3132 is located at the output end of the rotating motor 3131 and can rotate around a second axis as the output end of the rotating motor 3131 rotates. The rotating connecting block 3132 extends upwards from the platform 21 and is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism 31 by bolts. In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 31 has four placement blocks 312, which are fixedly installed circumferentially along the outer edge of the rotating mechanism 31, and the interval angle between the placement blocks 312, i.e., the first angle, is 90 degrees. Driven by the rotation drive unit 313, the rotation mechanism 31 rotates by a second angle of 90 degrees each time. Initially, the four placement blocks 312 correspond to four workstations. After the rotation drive unit 313 rotates once, the placement block 312 that originally corresponded to the previous workstation will rotate to the next adjacent workstation. In this rotation mechanism 31, vacuum adsorption is used to fix the material, which can evenly adsorb the material onto the placement part 3121, avoiding material deformation or displacement that may be caused by mechanical clamping, and improving positioning accuracy and cutting stability. The placement blocks 312 can be replaced independently, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement of placement blocks 312 of different shapes or sizes to adapt to different materials and cutting requirements. Each time the rotating disk 311 rotates by the second angle, the placement blocks 312 are spaced at the first angle, and the first angle and the second angle are equal, ensuring that after each rotation of the rotating disk 311, the placement blocks 312 can accurately stop at their respective workstations.
[0095] Reference Figures 9 to 12The negative pressure drive mechanism 91 is fixedly mounted on the drive mounting plate 24. The main body of the negative pressure drive mechanism 91 is a cylinder, and its output end forms a negative pressure drive output end 911. The negative pressure drive output end 911 is fixedly connected to the negative pressure connecting member 92. The negative pressure connecting member is provided with four third negative pressure ports 921. These four third negative pressure ports 921 are arranged around the second axis of the rotating mechanism 31 at 90-degree intervals, and each of the four third negative pressure ports 921 is independently connected to the vacuum negative pressure device through a negative pressure pipeline. At the same time, four second negative pressure ports 3111 are provided at corresponding positions on the rotating disk 311. These four second negative pressure ports 3111 are connected to the second negative pressure channel inside the rotating disk 311, and each second negative pressure channel is connected to the first negative pressure channel of a placement block 312 through a negative pressure pipeline. In addition, two vertically extending negative pressure drive sliding rods 912 are provided on both sides of the main body of the negative pressure drive mechanism 91, which can ensure that the negative pressure drive output end 911 drives the negative pressure connecting member 92 to move in the vertical direction. When the rotating mechanism 31 is in a stopped state, the negative pressure connecting member 92 can move downward under the drive of the negative pressure drive mechanism 91, and connect each third negative pressure port 921 with a corresponding second negative pressure port 3111. Before the rotating disk 311 rotates, the negative pressure connecting member 92 moves upward under the drive of the negative pressure drive mechanism 91, and the third negative pressure port 921 leaves the corresponding second negative pressure port 3111. When the rotating disk 311 rotates 90 degrees to the next position, the negative pressure connecting member 92 can move downward under the drive of the negative pressure drive mechanism 91 and reconnect the third negative pressure port 921 with the corresponding second negative pressure port 3111. To ensure a tight seal during connection, a sealing ring is provided on the negative pressure connector 92 corresponding to each third negative pressure port 921. When the negative pressure connector 92 moves down to align with the second negative pressure port 3111 at the third negative pressure port 921, the sealing ring is squeezed by the upper surface of the rotating disk 311, thus sealing the gap between the third negative pressure port 921 and the second negative pressure port 3111. The negative pressure connector 90 enables independent control and distribution of vacuum negative pressure for multiple placement blocks 312. Each placement block 312's first negative pressure port 3122 is connected to the vacuum negative pressure device through independent second and third negative pressure channels, ensuring that the vacuum adsorption effect of each station is not affected by other stations, thus improving the reliability and stability of vacuum adsorption. The cooperation between the negative pressure drive mechanism 91 and the negative pressure connector 92 allows for precise control of the application and disconnection of negative pressure, thereby coordinating with the movement of the rotating disk 311. When the rotating disk 311 rotates, the negative pressure connector 92 moves upward to separate the second negative pressure port 3111 and the third negative pressure port 921. After the rotating disk 311 stops rotating, the negative pressure connector 92 moves downward to connect the third negative pressure port 921 with the next second negative pressure port 3111 on the rotating disk 311.By using the negative pressure connection component 90, the problem of difficult layout of negative pressure pipeline caused by the rotation of the rotating disk 311 can be solved in equipment using the rotating disk 311, greatly simplifying the layout problem of negative pressure pipeline.
[0096] Reference Figure 12 The waste discharge assembly 80 includes a waste discharge drive mechanism 83, which in this embodiment is a cylinder device. It is fixedly mounted on the support rod of the drive mounting plate 24 to form a fixed connection with the frame 20. The output end of the waste discharge drive mechanism 83 forms a waste discharge drive output end 82, on which a waste discharge adsorption head 81 is fixedly mounted. This adsorption head 81 is connected to a vacuum negative pressure device and can adsorb waste material on the placement section 3121 via negative pressure adsorption. The waste discharge drive output end 82 is configured to reciprocate in the left-right direction, thereby driving the waste discharge adsorption head 81 to reciprocate in the left-right direction. Furthermore, the position of the waste discharge adsorption head 81 in the vertical direction is slightly higher than the position of the placement section 3121 to avoid interference between the waste discharge adsorption head 81 and the placement block 312. In the ejection mechanism 84 of the waste discharge assembly 80, an ejection drive cylinder 842 is fixedly mounted on the platform 21. An ejection rod 841 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the ejection drive cylinder 842. The ejection drive cylinder 842 can drive the ejection rod 841 to move up or down. When the placement block 312 moves directly above the ejection mechanism 84, the ejection rod 841 can move upward and extend into the ejection channel 3125 of the placement block 312, pushing the waste away from the placement block 312. At the same time, the waste discharge adsorption head 81 moves above the waste and uses negative pressure to adsorb the waste onto the waste discharge adsorption head 81. Then, the ejection rod 841 moves downward and leaves the ejection channel 3125. At the same time, the waste discharge adsorption head 81 moves away from the placement block 312 and reaches the waste disposal position. At the waste disposal position, the negative pressure of the waste discharge adsorption head 81 is disconnected, and the waste falls from the waste discharge adsorption head 81 to the waste disposal position. Platform 21 can have an opening at the waste location and a waste collection bin below the opening to collect waste.
[0097] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The bevel cutting mechanism 32 is located at the bevel cutting station 252 of the frame 20. It is equipped with a bevel cutting head 321, which can reciprocate in a third direction to cut the material into a tapered piece 12 with a bevel. The third direction is inclined in the front-back direction so that the bevel cutting head 321 can cut the material at an angle. The feeding cutting mechanism 33 is located at the feeding station 251 of the frame 20. It is equipped with a feeding cutting head 331, which can reciprocate in the left-right direction to cut the raw material into the cut material. Before being cut by the feeding cutting head 331, part of the raw material has been placed on the placement part 3121. After the feeding cutting head 331 cuts, the part that was originally placed on the placement part 3121 becomes the cut material, and the remaining part of the raw material can be reused in the next feeding cutting. A feeding and cutting mechanism 33 is provided, located at the feeding station 251 and equipped with a feeding cutter head 331. The feeding cutter head 331 can cut the raw material along a second direction, thereby obtaining the cut material placed on the placement part 3121. Through the feeding and cutting mechanism 33, the automatic cutting and feeding of the raw material can be realized, further improving the degree of automation, while also ensuring accurate cutting of the raw material, and obtaining cut material suitable for subsequent bevel cutting.
[0098] Specifically, refer to Figure 14The bevel cutting mechanism 32 and the feeding cutting mechanism 33 have the same structure. The cutting moving unit 322 includes a cutting bracket 324, which is fixedly mounted on the platform 21. The cutting drive cylinder 3221 of the cutting moving unit 322 is mounted on the cutting bracket 324, and the output end of the cutting drive cylinder 3221 can reciprocate in the vertical direction. The cutting unit 323 is mounted on the output end of the cutting drive cylinder 3221. The cutting unit 323 includes a blade drive cylinder 3231, the output end of which can reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The output end of the blade drive cylinder 3231 is equipped with a blade, which is designated as a bevel blade 321 or a feeding blade 331 depending on whether it is used in the bevel cutting assembly or the feeding cutting mechanism. During cutting, the cutting moving unit 322 first raises the cutting unit 323, moving the blade away from the rotating mechanism 31. Simultaneously, the cutting unit 323 moves the blade to the initial cutting position. Once the rotating mechanism 31 rotates and the placement part 3121 reaches below the blade, the cutting moving unit 322 moves the cutting unit 323 downwards, causing the blade to contact the material to be cut on the placement part 3121. Then, the cutting unit 323 moves the blade horizontally, and the blade in the bevel cutting assembly enters the bevel clearance groove 4153123, thereby cutting the original material or the material to be cut. Both the cutting moving unit 322 and the cutting unit 323 can be powered by a vacuum negative pressure device. The oblique cutting mechanism 32 and the feeding cutting mechanism 33 adopt the same modular components. Both include a cutting moving unit 322 and a cutting unit 323. The cooperation between the cutting moving unit 322 and the cutting unit 323 can realize precise movement control of the cutter head in the vertical and horizontal directions. Each time cutting is performed, the cutter head can be moved down to the material to be cut, then moved horizontally to cut the material, and then raised up to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the rotating conveyor component.
[0099] The clamping assembly 70 is described below.
[0100] Reference Figures 7 to 11The clamping assembly 70 includes a bevel clamping mechanism 71, a feeding clamping mechanism 72, and an adhesion clamping mechanism 73. The bevel clamping mechanism 71 is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the bevel cutting station 252. It is provided with a bevel clamping head 711 adapted to reciprocate in the vertical direction. The bevel clamping head 711 is adapted to clamp or release the cutting material on the corresponding placement part 3121, and is provided with a bevel cutting groove 712 extending in the third direction and penetrating vertically. The position of the bevel cutting groove 712 corresponds to the position where the cutting material on the corresponding placement part 3121 needs to form a bevel. The bevel cutter head 321 is adapted to... The feed clamping mechanism 72 is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the feed station 251. It is provided with a feed clamping head 721 adapted to reciprocate in the up-down direction. The feed clamping head 721 is adapted to clamp or release the cut material on the corresponding placement part 3121. The adhesion clamping mechanism 73 is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the adhesion station 254. It is provided with an adhesion clamping head 731 adapted to reciprocate in the up-down direction. The adhesion clamping head 731 is adapted to move down and clamp the spoke after the tapered piece 12 is adhered to the spoke.
[0101] Reference Figure 9 Both the bevel clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721 are block-shaped components that can move up and down under the drive of the bevel clamping mechanism 71 and the feeding clamping mechanism 72, and clamp the cutting material located in the placement part 3121 when moving down. The bevel clamping mechanism 71 and the feeding clamping mechanism 72 are both mounted on the drive mounting plate 24 of the frame 20, and both include a clamping drive cylinder 74, a clamping sliding rod 75 and a clamping adapter plate 76. The difference between the two is that the bevel clamping mechanism 71 corresponds to the placement part 3121 of the bevel cutting station 252, and the feeding clamping mechanism 72 corresponds to the placement part 3121 of the feeding station 251. The clamping drive cylinder 74 is fixedly mounted on the drive mounting plate 24. The output end of the clamping drive mechanism is located below the drive mounting plate 24 and can reciprocate in the vertical direction. A clamping adapter plate 76 is bolted to this output end. The beveled clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721 are both bolted to the corresponding clamping adapter plate 76. In addition, two clamping sliding rods 75 are provided in the clamping drive mechanism. These two clamping sliding rods 75 are slidably connected to the drive mounting plate 24 in the vertical direction. That is, under the restriction of the drive mounting plate 24, these two clamping sliding rods 75 can only move in the vertical direction. The two clamping sliding rods 75 are fixed to the clamping adapter plate 76, thereby restricting the beveled clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721 to move only in the vertical direction, ensuring the accuracy of the movement path of the beveled clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721.
[0102] In addition, refer to Figure 9 A beveled cutting groove 712 is also provided on the beveled clamping head 711, corresponding to the beveled clearance groove 4153123 on the corresponding placement block 312. The beveled cutting groove 712 extends through the beveled clamping head 711 in the vertical direction, and its end facing the beveled cutting assembly is open. The beveled blade 321 in the beveled cutting assembly extends into the beveled cutting groove 712 to ensure accurate cutting position of the material. A clamping assembly 70 is provided, which includes a beveled clamping mechanism 71 and a feeding clamping mechanism 72. Both clamping mechanisms can firmly clamp the material to be cut on the placement part 3121 during the cutting process, preventing the material from moving or deforming due to the blade contacting and moving during cutting, thus ensuring the cutting accuracy and the accuracy of the bevel shape. Meanwhile, a bevel cutting groove 712 is provided on the bevel clamping head 711 of the bevel clamping mechanism 71. The bevel cutting groove 712 provides a guide for the bevel cutter head 321, so that the bevel cutter head 321 can cut along a predetermined trajectory, which further improves the accuracy and quality of bevel cutting.
[0103] Reference Figure 10 The adhesion clamping head 731 is a block-shaped component that can move up and down under the drive of the clamping drive mechanism. When it moves down, it clamps the spoke end, and then moves up, allowing the spoke to leave the adhesion station 254. The clamping drive mechanism can drive the adhesion clamping head 731 to reciprocate along a first direction, achieving active control of the clamping force on the conical piece 12. Compared to relying solely on gravity clamping, the clamping drive mechanism can provide a more stable and controllable clamping force, ensuring full contact between the conical piece 12 and the spoke end, significantly improving the adhesion's firmness and consistency. Simultaneously, active control of the clamping force also allows the equipment to adapt to conical pieces 12 of different materials or sizes, improving the equipment's versatility.
[0104] Next, we will introduce the feeding assembly 60.
[0105] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 18A feeding assembly 60 is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the loading station 251. It includes a feeding moving mechanism 61 and a pressing mechanism 62. The feeding moving mechanism 61 has a receiving portion 611 adapted to carry the raw material, and the receiving portion 611 is adapted to reciprocate along a fifth direction perpendicular to and horizontal to the fourth direction. The pressing mechanism 62 is mounted on the feeding moving mechanism 61 to move along the fifth direction with the receiving portion 611. It has a pressing portion 621 facing the receiving portion 611. 21 is adapted to reciprocate in the up-down direction to press or release the raw material located on the receiving part 611; the feeding moving mechanism is configured to move a preset distance toward the placement part 3121 located at the loading station 251 after the pressing part 621 presses the raw material located on the receiving part 611, so as to lay the end of the raw material flat in the placement part 3121; the loading cutting mechanism is configured to cut the raw material after the end of the raw material is laid flat in the corresponding placement part 3121.
[0106] In addition, the feeding assembly 60 also includes a rolling mechanism 63; the raw material adheres to the release film and forms a composite film roll; the rolling mechanism 63 includes a feeding rolling shaft 631 and a recovery rolling shaft 632, the feeding rolling shaft 631 is used to mount the composite film roll, and the recovery rolling shaft 632 is used to wind the release film; the composite film roll peels off the raw material and the release film when it passes the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62; the recovery rolling shaft 632 is configured to rotate synchronously to wind and recover the release film when the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62 clamp the raw material and move toward the corresponding placement part 3121.
[0107] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The feeding assembly 60 can conveniently and accurately transport raw materials to the placement section 3121 of the loading station 251. When using the feeding assembly 60, the raw material is bonded to the release film to form a composite film roll. The shape of the composite film roll facilitates the storage of the raw material and prevents it from becoming contaminated. (Refer to...) Figure 18The feeding assembly 60 includes a rolling mechanism 63 comprising a rolling bracket 633, which is fixedly mounted on the platform 21 of the frame 20. The rolling bracket 633 is equipped with a feeding rolling shaft 631, a rolling drive motor 634, a first guide shaft 635, and a second guide shaft 636. The axial directions of these shafts are all left-right, consistent with the cutting direction of the feeding cutting mechanism. A take-back rolling shaft 632 is located at the output end of the rolling drive motor 634. Through the rolling drive motor 634, the take-back rolling shaft 632 can rotate automatically, and its rotation axis is also along the left-right direction. The first guide shaft 635 and the second guide shaft 636 are positioned in front of the feeding roll shaft 631. The first guide shaft 635 and the second guide shaft 636 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction. The side wall of the first guide shaft 635 forms a groove-like structure, and the width of the composite film roll is consistent with the width of the inner wall of the groove-like structure. Meanwhile, the second guide shaft 636 is located above the first guide shaft 635 and can extend into the groove-like structure formed by the side wall of the first guide shaft 635, thereby pressing the composite film roll tightly against the side wall of the first guide shaft 635 and guiding the composite film roll forward.
[0108] Reference Figure 18A feeding moving mechanism 61 and a pressing mechanism 62 are provided in front of the rolling mechanism 63. The feeding moving mechanism 61 includes a feeding drive cylinder 612 fixedly mounted on the platform 21. The output end of the feeding drive cylinder 612 can reciprocate in the front-back direction and is fixedly provided with a material receiving block 613. The upper surface of the material receiving block 613 is provided with a material receiving part 611, which is a recessed trough extending in the front-back direction. The front and rear ends of the trough are open, and the width of the trough in the left-right direction is the same as the width of the original material. A return shaft 614 is also provided at the front end of the material receiving block 613. The return shaft 614 is used to pull the release film that has been peeled off from the original material back to the recycling rolling shaft 632. The pressing mechanism 62 includes a pressing drive cylinder 622 fixedly mounted on the material support block 613. The output end of the pressing drive cylinder 622 can reciprocate in the up and down direction and is fixedly mounted with a pressing block 623. The pressing block 623 is provided with a pressing part 621 facing the material support part 611. The pressing part 621 can extend into the material support part 611 and its width in the left and right direction is adapted to the width of the material support part 611. During feeding, the composite film roll is mounted on the feeding roller 631 and passed through the first guide shaft 635 and the second guide shaft 636. The composite film roll is then guided to the positions of the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62. At this time, the raw material and release film in the composite film roll are peeled off. The release film is positioned on top and guided to the folding shaft 614 before being wound onto the recycling roller 632. The raw material is placed in the receiving part 611 and passes through the gap between the receiving part 611 and the pressing part 621, and the raw material extends out from the front end of the receiving part 611. Afterwards, the pressing part 621 presses down on the original material, and the feeding moving mechanism 61 drives the supporting block 613 to move forward a preset distance. This preset distance is the front-to-back dimension of the material to be cut at the loading station 251. At this time, the end of the original material will be placed on the placement part 3121. Then the loading and cutting mechanism runs and cuts off the end of the original material. The part on the placement part 3121 can form the cut material. Then the pressing part 621 is lifted up and the feeding moving mechanism 61 is retracted. At this time, because the recovery roller 632 pulls the composite film roll, the original material will not be retracted with the feeding moving mechanism 61.
[0109] The feeding assembly 60 enables automatic feeding and positioning of raw materials, making the entire feeding process fully automated. The feeding assembly 60 ensures the dimensional accuracy of the material being cut and the accuracy of its placement on the placement section 3121. Specifically, the relative position of the feeding assembly 60 and the placement section 3121 of the feeding station 251 is fixed, ensuring the accuracy of the material's position along the third direction on the placement section 3121. Simultaneously, the feeding moving mechanism 61 in the feeding assembly 60 moves a predetermined distance towards the placement section 3121 each time, moving the material forward a fixed distance along the third direction, thus placing the end of the raw material with a defined length on the placement section 3121. The material is then cut by the feeding and cutting mechanism. This ensures the accuracy of the material's dimensions and position on the placement section 3121, thereby improving the accuracy of the cutting position of the material by the bevel cutting assembly in the bevel cutting station 252. Furthermore, the raw material is adhered to the release film to form a composite film roll. The shape of the composite film roll facilitates the storage of the raw material and avoids contamination. At the same time, the composite film roll can be easily mounted on the feeding roller 631 of the rolling mechanism 63. When the composite film roll passes through the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62, the raw material and the release film are separated. The recovery roller 632 rotates synchronously to recover the release film, realizing the automatic separation of the material and the release film and the automatic recovery of the release film. It can also cooperate with the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62 in the feeding assembly 60. Each mechanism works together during each feeding to achieve efficient and accurate feeding of the raw material.
[0110] Next, the displacement component 40 will be introduced.
[0111] Reference Figures 2 to 5 , Figures 15 to 17 The displacement assembly 40 is mounted on the frame 20 and is provided with a receiving groove 411, a first displacement mechanism 42 and a second displacement mechanism 43. The receiving groove 411 is adapted to receive the spoke and expose the end of the spoke in a horizontal first direction. The first displacement mechanism 42 is adapted to drive the spoke to reciprocate along a horizontal second direction between the adhesion station 254 and the winding station 255. The second displacement mechanism 43 is adapted to drive the spoke to reciprocate along the up and down direction so that the spoke sits on the placement part 3121 and adheres the conical piece 12.
[0112] In addition, the displacement assembly 40 also includes a clamping mechanism 44, which is configured to clamp the spoke after the spoke is located in the receiving groove 411 to restrict the spoke from rotating about or translating along the first direction.
[0113] Specifically, refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16The first displacement mechanism 42 is mounted on the frame 20 and located in the middle of the two platforms 21 in the left-right direction. In the first displacement mechanism 42, the first displacement base 421 extends in the front-back direction and is fixedly mounted on the frame 20. A first displacement drive unit is installed inside the first displacement base 421. The first displacement drive unit can be a screw, cylinder, or electric cylinder, etc., and its output end is connected to the first displacement connecting block 422. The first displacement connecting block 422 and the first displacement base 421 form a sliding fit, and under the action of the first displacement drive unit, the first displacement connecting block 422 can slide back and forth along the extension direction of the first displacement base 421, that is, in the front-back direction. The first displacement connecting block 422 has an upward-facing plane, which can be used for mounting fixed components. Meanwhile, the first displacement connecting block 422 can reciprocate between the pre-set feeding station 251 and the winding station 255 under the action of the first displacement driving unit. At the feeding station 251, the operator can feed the spokes to the fixed component. At the winding station 255, the spokes located in the fixed component can be wound by the winding component 50.
[0114] Reference Figure 17 The displacement assembly 40 further includes a receiving mechanism 41. The receiving mechanism 41 includes two receiving seats 412 arranged along a first direction. Each of the two receiving seats 412 has a corresponding positioning groove 413 that extends through the first direction. The openings of both positioning grooves 413 face upwards and cooperate to form the receiving groove 411. The spokes, housed in the receiving groove 411, have both ends exposed in the two receiving seats 412 in the first direction. The receiving mechanism 41 also includes a fixed base 45 serving as a mounting foundation. The fixed base 45 is a planar plate-shaped component. The second displacement mechanism 43 is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 45. Simultaneously, the fixed base 45 is bolted to the sliding member of the sliding assembly, allowing the receiving mechanism 41 to reciprocate in the front-back direction under the drive of the sliding assembly. The second displacement mechanism 43 includes a second displacement cylinder 431 and a second displacement connecting block 432. The second displacement cylinder 431 is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 45 by bolts. The second displacement connecting block 432 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the second displacement cylinder 431 and connected to the receiving mechanism 41. By pressurizing and depressurizing the second displacement cylinder 431, the second displacement connecting block 432 can be moved up or down, thereby causing the receiving mechanism 41 to move up or down. Of course, in other embodiments, the second displacement cylinder 431 in the second displacement mechanism 43 can be replaced with other actuators, such as an electric cylinder.
[0115] The clamping mechanism 44 is located between the two receiving seats 412 and includes a clamping drive unit 441 and two clamping blocks 442. The output end of the clamping drive unit 441 is connected to the two clamping blocks 442 and drives the two clamping blocks 442 to move towards or away from each other in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, so as to clamp or release the spokes received in the receiving groove 411. The receiving mechanism 41 also includes a fixed seat 414, and the two receiving seats 412 are fixedly fixed to the fixed seat 414 in an adjustable position along the first direction. The output end of the second displacement mechanism 43 is connected to the fixed seat 414. The clamping mechanism 44 is mounted on the fixed seat 414.
[0116] The fixed base 414 is fixedly connected to the second displacement connecting block 432 of the second displacement mechanism 43. A sliding groove 416 is provided on the front side of the fixed base 414 along the left-right direction, and a clearance groove 415 extending in the front-back direction is provided at the middle position of the front side of the fixed base 414 in the left-right direction. The sliding groove 416 is a recessed groove, with its two ends open in the left-right direction and the openings facing upwards. The clearance groove 415 is a through groove, which runs through in the vertical direction and its front end is open. The sliding groove 416 is used to adjust the position of the receiving base 412 in the left-right direction, and the clearance groove 415 is used to make way for the clamping mechanism 44, so that the clamping mechanism 44 can enter the position corresponding to the receiving base 412 to clamp and fix the spokes. Several through holes are also provided on the sliding groove 416 at certain intervals in the left-right direction. These through holes are used for bolts to pass through, so as to form a detachable fixed connection with the receiving base 412.
[0117] There are two receiving seats 412, arranged horizontally on the fixing seat 414. The receiving seat 412 is roughly in the shape of a reclining "L", with its long side extending horizontally. At its bottom, there is a mating protrusion 417 extending horizontally. The size of this mating protrusion 417 matches the size of the sliding groove 416 on the fixing seat 414, allowing the receiving seat 412 to be adjusted horizontally within the limitation of the sliding groove 416 on the fixing seat 414. Simultaneously, a long, narrow through hole extending horizontally is provided on the long side of the receiving seat 412, corresponding to the through hole on the sliding groove 416. When fixing the receiving seat 412, a bolt can be passed through the through hole in the fixing seat 414 and then tightened. When adjusting the horizontal position of the receiving seat 412, the bolt can be loosened, and then the position of the receiving seat 412 can be adjusted. The short side of the receiving seat 412 extends vertically and has a positioning groove 413 that extends horizontally and opens upwards. The two positioning grooves 413 of the two receiving seats 412 are positioned correspondingly and cooperate to form the receiving groove 411 of the receiving mechanism 41. When the spoke is placed into the receiving groove 411, the two ends of the spoke in the length direction are respectively placed in the two positioning grooves 413 of the two receiving seats 412, and the middle part is suspended. The clamping mechanism 44 located in the middle position can clamp and fix the spoke. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The positioning groove 413 can be designed with a variable groove width. Specifically, the positioning groove 413 can be divided into two sections with different groove widths along the left-right direction. The groove width of the section near the inner side is greater than that of the section near the outer side. The groove width of the inner side is adapted to the outer diameter of the connecting cap 11, while the groove width of the outer side is adapted to the end outer diameter of the spoke body 10. Through the differential groove width design of the positioning groove 413, when the spoke is placed on the receiving groove 411, the positions of its two ends are pre-determined within a certain range by the position of the connecting cap 11, thus making it easier to accurately position the spoke in the receiving groove 411.
[0118] The clamping mechanism 44 includes a clamping drive unit 441 and clamping blocks 442. The clamping drive unit 441 can be a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and it includes two output ends. Each of these two output ends is connected to a clamping block 442, and these two output ends can drive the two clamping blocks 442 to move towards or away from each other in the front-back direction. When the two clamping blocks 442 move towards each other, they can clamp and fix the spokes; when they move away from each other, they can release the spokes. (Refer to...) Figure 17The clamping mechanism 44 is bolted to the fixed base 414 to maintain a relatively fixed position between the clamping block 442 and the fixed base 414. Simultaneously, the clamping block 442 of the clamping mechanism 44 extends upward from the relief groove 415 of the fixed base 414, its vertical position matching the position of the receiving groove 411, so that it can be adapted to the position of the spoke after the spoke is received in the receiving groove 411. When fixing the spoke, the spoke can first be placed in the receiving groove 411, and then the clamping block 442 of the clamping mechanism 44 clamps the spoke, thereby fixing the spoke. The clamping mechanism 44 is positioned between the two receiving seats 412. The clamping drive unit 441 in the clamping mechanism 44 can drive the two clamping blocks 442 to move, thereby clamping or releasing the spokes received in the receiving groove 411. The clamping mechanism 44 can hold the spokes after they are received in the receiving groove 411, so that the spokes will not rotate or shift during the winding process, preventing the winding accuracy from being affected by the spokes loosening during the winding process. In addition, in the process of attaching the conical piece 12 to the spokes, the clamping mechanism 44 can also fix the spokes, ensuring that the second displacement mechanism 43 can smoothly drive the spokes down and attach the conical piece 12.
[0119] Reference Figure 19 and Figure 20 During adhesion, a conical piece 12 is laid flat on the placement part 3121, and a spoke is placed in the receiving groove 411. At this time, the end of the spoke is exposed in the left and right direction, and the spoke is in a higher position under the action of the second displacement mechanism 43. When the spoke is placed, it will not interfere with the adhesion component 30. Then, the second displacement mechanism 43 drives the spoke to move down, so that the spoke can sit on the placement part 3121 and adhere the conical piece 12. However, at this time, the spoke is only adhered to the conical piece 12 by gravity, and the adhesion between the two is not strong enough. Then, the adhesion pressing head 731 moves down. The pressing head can adhere the conical piece 12 to the end of the spoke and press the end of the spoke, so that the end of the spoke can firmly adhere the conical piece 12. After the adhesion pressing head 731 presses the end of the spoke, the adhesion pressing head 731 moves up. Then, the second displacement mechanism 43 drives the spoke to move up, and the conical piece 12 is taken away from the placement part 3121 along with the spoke.
[0120] Next, we will introduce the rolling assembly 50.
[0121] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 15 , Figure 16The winding assembly 50 includes a rotary drive mechanism 51 and at least one winding mechanism 52; the output end of the rotary drive mechanism 51 is connected to the winding mechanism 52, and drives the winding mechanism 52 to rotate around a first axis in a first direction; the winding mechanism 52 includes a radial drive unit 521 and at least two winding members 522, the winding members 522 corresponding to the winding station 255; the output end of the radial drive unit 521 is connected to each of the winding members 522, and drives each of the winding members 522 to move towards or away from each other radially relative to the first direction; wherein, the tapered piece 12 with its end attached is transferred by the displacement assembly 40. After the spokes move to the winding station 255, the end of the spokes moves in the up-down direction through the second displacement mechanism 43 to enter between the winding members 522 of the winding mechanism 52. During the movement, the conical plate 12 contacts at least one of the winding members 522 and bends toward the winding direction of the conical plate 12. The radial drive unit 521 is adapted to drive each of the winding members 522 to move toward each other to contact the end of the spokes located between the winding members 522, and drives the winding mechanism 52 to rotate through the rotation drive mechanism 51 to wind the conical plate 12 into the tapered segment.
[0122] In this embodiment, each of the winding mechanisms 52 includes two winding members 522; the two winding members 522 belonging to the same winding mechanism 52 are arranged radially symmetrically along a first direction, and the opposing surfaces of the two winding members 522 respectively form a first winding surface 523 and a second winding surface 524, both of which are planar perpendicular to the radial direction; at least one of the first winding surface 523 and the second winding surface 524 is recessed with a clearance portion 525; the clearance portion 525 extends to the edge of the winding member 522 to make way for the spoke and the tapered plate 12, and includes a circular groove 526 corresponding to the end shape of the spoke and a flat groove 527 corresponding to the tapered plate 12. Further, both the first winding surface 523 and the second winding surface 524 are provided with the clearance portion 525, and the two clearance portions 525 are arranged diagonally relative to the first axis.
[0123] Specifically, refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16The winding assembly 50 mainly includes a rotary drive mechanism 51 and a winding mechanism 52. In this embodiment, corresponding to the displacement assembly 40 located in the middle position, two winding mechanisms 52 are arranged in the left-right direction and are used to wind the conical pieces 12 attached to the two ends of the spokes in the left-right direction. The rotary drive mechanism 51 can be a drive motor, and the number of drive motors corresponds to the two winding mechanisms 52, which can be set to two. Each winding mechanism 52 is connected to the output end of a drive motor, so that the drive motor can drive the winding mechanism 52 to rotate around the first axis. The drive motor is also fixedly mounted on the platform 21 of the frame 20 through a plate-like component, so that the movement of the platform 21 in the left-right direction can drive the motor to adjust its position in the left-right direction.
[0124] Each of the winding mechanism 52 includes a radial drive unit 521 and at least two winding members 522. In this embodiment, the number of winding members 522 is two. The radial drive unit 521 can be a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and it has an output end corresponding to the number of winding members 522. For example, when the number of winding members 522 is two, the number of output ends of the radial drive unit 521 is also two. The output ends of the radial drive unit 521 can reciprocate radially relative to the first axis, and it can adopt a conventional cylinder or electric cylinder drive mechanism in the art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0125] Reference Figure 22 The winding component 522 is generally a rectangular block-shaped member, on which threaded through holes can be provided, and it is connected to the output end of the radial drive unit 521 by bolts or other accessories. A winding surface is formed on one side of the winding component 522, and the winding surfaces on the two winding components 522 face each other, forming a first winding surface 523 and a second winding surface 524 respectively. Taking the first winding surface 523 as an example, refer to... Figure 6A recessed clearance portion 525 is provided on the first winding surface 523. The clearance portion 525 is located in the lower middle position of the first winding surface 523 and includes a circular groove 526 and a flat groove 527. The circular groove 526 is located in the middle position in the vertical direction and extends to the edge of the winding member 522 in the horizontal direction, which can provide clearance for the end of the spoke. The flat groove 527 is located below the circular groove 526 and is a shallow and flat recessed structure. Its upper edge is the same as the lower edge of the circular groove 526, and the flat groove 527 also extends to the edge of the winding member 522 in the horizontal direction. A winding space 53 is formed between the two winding members 522. The end of the spoke enters the winding space 53, and the end of the spoke body 10 corresponds to the position of the circular groove 526. At the same time, the position of the conical piece 12 corresponds to the position of the flat groove 527, thereby facilitating the winding of the conical piece 12 to the end of the spoke body 10. In addition, a clearance portion 525 is also provided on the second winding surface 524 of the other winding member 522. However, this clearance portion 525 is diagonally arranged with the clearance portion 525 on the first winding surface 523. That is, when the clearance portion 525 on the first winding surface 523 is located in a lower position, the clearance portion 525 on the second winding surface 524 will be located in a higher position. A clearance portion 525 is provided on the winding surface of the winding member 522. The recessed structure of the clearance portion 525 allows the spokes and the tapered plate 12 to be accommodated within the clearance portion 525, thereby allowing the first winding surface 523 and the second winding surface 524 of the two winding members 522 to contact each other. This makes the contact between the winding member 522 and the spokes tighter and prevents the tapered plate 12 from wrinkling during the winding process due to excessive gaps between the winding member 522 and the spokes. At the same time, the design of the circular groove 526 and the flat groove 527 respectively plays a positioning role for the end of the spokes and the tapered plate 12, ensuring that the tapered plate 12 can be accurately wound around the end of the spokes.The clearance portions 525 on the two winding members 522 are arranged diagonally. When the clearance portion 525 of one winding member 522 contacts the spoke, the winding surface of the other winding member 522 will flatly adhere to the spoke, thus avoiding insufficient contact between the winding member 522 and the spoke due to excessive space in the clearance portion 525. At the same time, since the winding mechanism 52 rotates, it is impossible to determine which of the two winding members 522 is in the correct position during the winding process. Under the action of the lifting mechanism, the conical plate 12 will move towards the winding direction. When the cone plate 12 bends in the opposite direction, it is necessary to ensure that there is a clearance portion 525 in the opposite direction of the bend that contacts the ends of the cone plate 12 and the spokes. By arranging the clearance portions 525 on the two winding members 522 diagonally, no matter what position the winding mechanism 52 rotates to, as long as the positional relationship of the two winding members 522 forms a space that allows the spokes to enter from the vertical direction, it can be ensured that there is a clearance portion 525 in contact with the ends of the cone plate 12 and the spokes, so that the cone plate 12 can be accurately wound around the ends of the spokes.
[0126] The spoke end taper section forming equipment involved in this embodiment mainly includes a frame 20, an adhesion component 30, a displacement component 40, and a winding component 50. This forming equipment can automatically wind the tapered piece 12 to the end of the spoke to form a taper section, which can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.
[0127] The adhesion assembly 30 has a placement part 3121 on which the conical piece 12 can be laid flat. The displacement assembly 40 has a receiving groove 411, a first displacement mechanism 42, and a second displacement mechanism 43. The receiving groove 411 can be used to receive the spokes, and when the spokes are placed in the receiving groove 411, the ends of the spokes can be exposed in the receiving groove 411 in a first direction, which facilitates the subsequent winding of the conical piece 12 onto the exposed ends of the spokes. The first displacement mechanism 42 can drive the spokes to move between the adhesion station 254 and the winding station 255. After the conical piece 12 is adhered to the end of the spokes at the adhesion station 254, the spokes can move to the winding station 255 under the drive of the first displacement mechanism 42, and the conical piece 12 is wound to the end by the winding assembly 50. The second displacement mechanism 43 can drive the spokes to move up and down at the adhesion station 254 so that the spokes sit on the conical piece 12 and adhere the conical piece 12. During adhesion, the conical sheet 12 is first laid flat on the placement portion 3121 of the adhesion assembly 30. Then, the spoke is placed in the receiving groove 411 of the displacement assembly 40, with the end of the spoke exposed. At this time, the second displacement mechanism 43 of the displacement assembly 40 keeps the spoke in a higher position to avoid interference between the spoke and the adhesion assembly 30 during the placement of the spoke. Then, the second displacement mechanism 43 moves the spoke downward so that the spoke can sit on the placement portion 3121 and adhere the conical sheet 12. After adhesion is completed, the second displacement mechanism 43 lifts the spoke to remove the conical sheet 12 from the placement portion 3121. Then, the first displacement mechanism 42 moves the spoke along the second direction to the winding station 255.
[0128] The winding assembly 50 includes a rotary drive mechanism 51 and at least one winding mechanism 52. The winding mechanism 52 can rotate around a first axis under the action of the rotary drive mechanism 51. The winding mechanism 52 includes a radial drive unit 521 and winding members 522. The radial drive unit 521 can drive multiple winding members 522 to move closer or further apart radially simultaneously or asynchronously. When the winding members 522 move further apart, a winding space 53 is formed between them, and the ends of the spokes can be moved into this winding space 53. Afterwards, the winding members 522... Under the action of the radial drive unit 521, the cones 12 approach each other and contact the ends of the spokes. Then, the rotary drive mechanism 51 drives the winding mechanism 52 to rotate, and the winding components 522 also rotate accordingly. During the rotation of the winding components 522, they apply pressure to the cone 12, causing the cone 12 to deform and press against the end sidewall of the spoke. As the winding mechanism 52 rotates, the winding components 522 rotate around the end of the spoke one or more times until the cone 12 is completely attached to the end of the spoke and forms a tapered section. Through the winding assembly 50, the cone 12 can be accurately and efficiently wound into a tapered section surrounding the end of the spoke. The rotary drive mechanism 51 and the winding mechanism 52 in the winding assembly 50 cooperate with each other to realize the winding action of the cone 12.
[0129] Furthermore, the conical piece 12 attached to the spoke end is in an unfolded state before winding, with only one edge attached to the spoke end. When the spoke is placed in the receiving groove 411, the unfolded and laid-out direction of the conical piece 12 may be different. However, during winding, it is essential to ensure that the conical piece 12 can contact the winding member 522 in the correct manner to prevent the conical piece 12 from being squeezed by the winding member 522 and becoming wrinkled or deformed. Such squeezing can also lead to the failure of winding the conical piece 12. Therefore, the second displacement mechanism 43 not only serves to place the spoke into the placement part 312 during the adhesion station 254. The function of 1 is that during the process of the spoke entering the position to be wound, the second displacement mechanism 43 can also drive the spoke to move upward. Through this action and the position of the winding member 522, the conical piece 12 can contact the winding member 522. By setting a certain moving direction, the conical piece 12 can bend in the direction of its winding direction. At this time, the conical piece 12 will always maintain contact with the winding member 522. Then the winding members 522 move closer to each other and contact the end of the spoke. Then the winding mechanism 52 is rotated in the correct direction, so that the conical piece 12 is wound on the end of the spoke in the correct way.
[0130] Example 2
[0131] Example 2 is based on Example 1, but differs from Example 1 in that the winding member 522 in the winding mechanism 52 is set as a roller 528. Each roller 528 rotates about a third axis in a first direction, and the tapered piece 12 is wound to the end of the spoke through the circumferential surface 529 of each roller 528 to form the tapered segment.
[0132] Specifically, refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24 In this embodiment, there are two winding members 522. The output end of the radial drive unit 521 in the winding mechanism 52 can drive the two winding members 522 to move towards or away from each other in the radial direction relative to the first axis. When the winding member 522 is set as a roller 528, the shaft of the roller 528 is directly fixed to the output end of the radial drive unit 521, and the roller 528 can rotate freely around the third axis where its shaft is located. The outer circumference of the roller 528 is a circumferential surface 529 with a certain width. During winding, the circumferential surface 529 of the roller 528 will contact the end of the spoke. The winding component 522 is designed as a roller 528. During the winding process, the roller 528 also rotates around the second axis. While the roller 528 rotates, its circumferential surface 529 remains in contact with the end of the spoke along the length of the spoke. This converts sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing the friction between the winding component 522 and the conical piece 12. The lower friction makes the winding process smoother, reduces wear on the conical piece 12 caused by excessive friction, improves winding efficiency, and ensures the integrity of the conical piece 12. Compared to the structure of the winding component 522 in Embodiment 1, the roller 528 structure of the winding component 522 is simpler in structure and has lower component costs. Furthermore, as long as the conical piece 12 can correctly contact the circumferential surface 529 of the roller 528 in the lifting mechanism, the roller 528 can complete the winding process well, effectively improving the winding quality of the conical piece 12. Furthermore, the width of the circumferential surface 529 of the roller 528 can be designed to be greater than the dimension of the conical plate 12 in the left-right direction, thereby ensuring that the circumferential surface 529 of the roller 528 can fully contact the conical plate 12.
[0133] In addition, the roller 528 can be a structure with a hub and a rim. The rim can be made of nylon or rubber with a certain hardness, so that a certain force can be applied to the end of the spoke when in contact, without damaging the conical piece 12 attached to the spoke body 10.
