Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC lathe technology, and in particular to a CNC lathe wire take-up machine for a digital twin production line. Background Technology
[0002] Digital twin production lines achieve prediction and simulation of the production line's state, behavior, and responses through digital modeling and simulation of the equipment and products on the production line. In the non-stick pan automated control production line, this line has eight robot workstations capable of handling online customer orders, non-stick pan production, packaging, and shipping. Robot workstation number 2 consists of four parts: a material transfer station, a robot and its control cabinet, a CNC lathe, and a PLC control cabinet. After the non-stick pan is stamped, it needs to be shredded by the CNC lathe in robot workstation number 2. The shredded waste is collected in a shredder. When the shredder is full, the waste needs to be cleaned promptly; otherwise, excessive waste will accumulate on the worktable, making it impossible to fix the formed pan on the worktable, leading to problems such as pan falling, damage to the pan, and waste scraping against the robot's gripper suction cups, causing the entire production line to stop and severely impacting production efficiency. However, in actual production, operators need to clean the waste yarn regularly to prevent the waste yarn from overflowing and affecting the operation of the entire production line. However, regular cleaning cannot make full use of the waste yarn storage space in the winding machine, and frequent cleaning will also increase the workload of the operators.
[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a CNC lathe take-up machine for a digital twin production line, which aims to remind the operator to clean up waste wire in time by detecting that the take-up machine is full of wire, so as to make full use of the storage space of the take-up machine and avoid affecting the operation of the production line due to the inability to clean up waste wire in time.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A CNC lathe wire winding machine for a digital twin production line includes a housing, a wire winding device, a support, an alarm, and a controller. A feed inlet is located on one side of the housing, and a vertically sliding door is located on the side of the housing corresponding to the feed inlet. The wire winding device is located at the bottom inner part of the housing, and the support is located on the side wall of the housing. A first sensor for detecting the stacking height of waste wire inside the housing is mounted on the support. The alarm and controller are respectively located on the housing, and the first sensor, the alarm, and the wire winding device are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting cylinder vertically installed on the top of the box, the extension rod of the lifting cylinder being connected to the box, and guide grooves on both sides of the box being slidably connected to the box door.
[0008] Furthermore, the bracket includes a mounting plate disposed on the side wall of the housing and a sleeve vertically disposed on the mounting plate, wherein the first sensor is installed in the sleeve and extends into the housing.
[0009] Furthermore, the sleeve has several locking holes arranged in a circular array on its peripheral wall, and each locking hole is threaded with a locking screw, the end of which abuts against the first sensor.
[0010] Furthermore, there are two supports, which are symmetrically distributed on the box, and each support is equipped with a first sensor.
[0011] Furthermore, the alarm is a three-color alarm light with a buzzer.
[0012] Furthermore, the feed inlet is provided with an upwardly inclined wire feeding channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the skewer-stirring device includes a drive motor mounted on the housing, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the housing, a turntable mounted on the rotating shaft, and two symmetrically mounted skewer-stirring rods on the turntable. The drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the top surface of the turntable is flush with the inner bottom of the housing.
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] The CNC lathe wire winding machine for the digital twin production line provided by this utility model has a bracket set on the housing, on which a first sensor is installed to detect the height of the waste wire stack inside the housing. An alarm is also set on the housing. Both the first sensor and the alarm are electrically connected to the controller. When the first sensor detects waste wire, the alarm sounds to remind the operator to clean up the waste wire in time. This avoids the situation where the operator cannot clean up the waste wire in time, which will affect the operation of the production line. It can also make full use of the storage space inside the housing and effectively reduce the number of times the operator cleans up the waste wire. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Controller 6, cabinet door 7, lifting cylinder 8, guide groove 81. Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a CNC lathe wire winding machine for a digital twin production line, including a housing 1, a wire winding device 2, a support 3, an alarm 5, and a controller 6. The housing 1 has a feed inlet 11 on one side and is located at the waste wire outlet of the CNC lathe, with the feed inlet 11 facing the waste wire outlet. The housing 1 has a vertically sliding door 7 on the side corresponding to the feed inlet 11. The wire winding device 2 is located at the bottom inside the housing 1. The support 3 is located on the side wall of the housing 1. The support 3 is equipped with a first sensor 4 for detecting the stacking height of waste wire inside the housing 1. The alarm 5 and the controller 6 are respectively located on the housing 1. The first sensor 4, the alarm 5, and the wire winding device 2 are all electrically connected to the controller 6.
[0025] During the wire winding process, controller 6 activates the wire stirring device 2, stirring the waste wire cut by the CNC lathe at the edge of the pan into the housing 1. The waste wire gradually piles up inside the housing 1. When the first sensor 4 detects the waste wire, it indicates that the waste wire has piled up to a specified height and needs to be cleaned up promptly. The first sensor 4 transmits a signal to controller 6, which then activates alarm 5 to remind the operator to clean up the waste wire. Simultaneously, the CNC lathe stops, and controller 6 stops the wire stirring device 2. During cleaning, the operator opens the housing door 7 to remove the waste wire. Compared to existing technologies, this method allows for cleaning only when the housing 1 is full of waste wire, fully utilizing the storage space of the housing 1 and reminding the operator to clean up the waste wire promptly.
[0026] In this embodiment, the controller 6 can use a Siemens S7-1200 series CPU1214C as the control motherboard, which can process input signals according to predefined programs and logic, and then control various components. Its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 1 , 2 It also includes a lifting cylinder 8 vertically installed on the top of the box 1. The extension rod of the lifting cylinder 8 is connected to the box 1. Guide grooves 81 are provided on both sides of the box 1, which are slidably connected to the box door 7. The controller 6 controls the extension rod of the lifting cylinder 8 to extend or retract, so as to drive the box door 7 to move up and down. When the box door 7 moves upward, the box 1 opens, and the waste wire inside the box 1 can be taken out. Specifically, the guide groove 81 extends upward and is higher than the top of the box 1, so that the box door 7 can slide upward along the guide groove 81 to the top of the box 1, so that the operator can take out all the waste wire inside the box 1.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 3 The bracket 3 includes a mounting plate 31 disposed on the side wall of the housing 1 and a sleeve 32 vertically disposed on the mounting plate 31. The first sensor 4 is installed in the sleeve 32 and extends into the housing 1. Specifically, the side wall of the housing 1 has a through hole coaxial with the sleeve 32 to facilitate the extension of the first sensor 4 into the housing 1.
[0029] Furthermore, the sleeve 32 has a plurality of locking holes 33 arranged in a circular array on its peripheral wall. In this embodiment, there are three locking holes 33, and each locking hole 33 is threaded with a locking screw 34. The end of the locking screw 34 abuts against the first sensor 4. The first sensor 4 is sleeved inside the sleeve 32. The three locking screws 34 are respectively installed on the sleeve 32, and their ends abut against the first sensor 4 to fix the first sensor 4. With the above configuration, the first sensor 4 can be replaced from the outside of the housing 1 without having to open the housing door 7.
[0030] Furthermore, there are two supports 3, which are symmetrically distributed on the box 1. Each support 3 is equipped with a first sensor 4. That is, a first sensor 4 is set at two different positions at the same horizontal height inside the box 1 to increase the accuracy of detection and avoid detection errors caused by uneven stacking of waste wires.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the alarm 5 is a three-color alarm light with a buzzer. The three-color alarm light with a buzzer is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail. The three colors generally include green, yellow and red. In this embodiment, when the filament stirring device 2 is working normally, the green light is on; when both first sensors 4 detect waste filament, the red light is on and a buzzer is emitted to remind the operator to clean up the waste filament in time.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 5 The feed inlet 11 is provided with an upwardly inclined wire feeding channel 12 so that short filaments can slide into the box 1 for collection.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 , 4 The filament-stirring device 2 includes a drive motor 21 mounted on a housing 1, a rotating shaft 22 rotatably connected to the housing 1, a turntable 23 mounted on the rotating shaft 22, and two symmetrically arranged filament-stirring rods 24 on the turntable 23. The drive motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, and the top surface of the turntable 23 is flush with the inner bottom of the housing 1. Specifically, the drive motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate via a belt transmission mechanism 25, and the rotating shaft 22 drives the turntable 23 to rotate, so that the two filament-stirring rods 24 rotate around the center line of the rotating shaft 22, thereby stirring the waste filaments cut by the CNC lathe into the housing 1. Under the action of the two filament-stirring rods 24, the waste filaments are clumped together and rotate with the center line of the rotating shaft 22 to wind more waste filaments.
[0034] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, and all such substitutions or changes should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
