Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile technology, specifically to a movable automatic quick-change device for spinning bobbins. Background Technology

[0002] In textile production, yarn needs to be wound onto spinning bobbins for further processing. During machine operation, the spinning bobbins are placed sequentially on a rack, and the yarn ends on each bobbin are spun and transported by the machine. After the spinning bobbins are wound, the completed bobbins are removed from the rack one by one, and the empty bobbins are placed back on the rack for the next winding process.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN221759154U, published on September 24, 2024, discloses a yarn bobbin placement device for textile machines. The device includes a base, a placement mechanism for placing yarn bobbins, and a guide mechanism for preventing yarn from winding during transport. Both the guide mechanism and the placement mechanism are mounted on the base. The placement mechanism includes two placement frames, each with several placement slots. Insertion units are provided on the inner walls of both sides of each placement slot. A rotating shaft is fixed between the two placement frames, and a drive unit for rotating the shaft is located at its bottom. Each insertion unit includes a sliding rod. This device allows for quick loading and unloading of yarn bobbins and also has a pre-loading function, facilitating rapid replacement of yarn bobbins after the previous batch of yarn has been used up. This ensures continuous and efficient operation of the spinning machine and improves its spinning efficiency.

[0004] As can be seen from the above patents, the yarn bobbin placement device uses two sets of spinning bobbins for replacement, requiring manual fixing of the spinning bobbins onto the insertion unit in sequence before replacement; the manual process requires manpower and machine downtime, affecting efficiency; and the inability to move the bobbins prevents rapid replacement of batches of spinning bobbins on the spinning production line; therefore, this invention provides a movable automatic rapid replacement device for spinning bobbins to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a movable automatic and rapid spinning bobbin replacement device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A movable automatic quick-change device for spinning bobbins includes a support base and a clamping system and a placement system mounted on the support base. The clamping system includes first slide rails mounted on the left and right ends of the support base. A first electric slider is slidably connected within the first slide rails, and a second slide rail is fixedly connected upwards to the first electric slider. A second electric slider is slidably connected within the second slide rails, and a third slide rail connects the left and right second electric sliders. A third electric slider is slidably connected within the third slide rails, and a robotic arm is fixedly connected to the third electric slider. Several clamps are fixedly connected to one end of the robotic arm. Each clamp is a clamp with a circular slot, the size of which is adapted to the size of the top of the spinning bobbin. An annular square hole is formed on the inner wall of the circular slot, and a rubber pad adapted to the square hole is placed inside the square hole. An air inlet is formed at the top center of the clamp, and an air pump mounted on the robotic arm is connected through an air inlet pipe. An exhaust port is formed on the air inlet pipe, and a solenoid valve is provided on the exhaust port.

[0008] Preferably, the placement system includes a feeding hopper, the bottom center of which is provided with a drain and connected downward to a guide channel, the bottom end of which points to the limiting rod of the spinning bobbin of the textile machine.

[0009] Preferably, the support base is respectively equipped with a controller, an infrared sensor, an electric blade, and a collection box. The controller is electrically connected to the solenoid valve, the first drive motor, the second drive motor, the third drive motor, the air pump, the infrared sensor, and the electric blade. The collection box is located below the robotic arm inside the support base.

[0010] Preferably, the clamps are evenly distributed at equal intervals, and the distance between adjacent clamps is equal to the distance between adjacent spinning cylinders on the textile machine.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping system further includes a first drive motor, a second drive motor, and a third drive motor, which are electrically connected to the first electric slider, the second electric slider, and the third electric slider, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the support base is equipped with two sets of casters, one of which is an electric caster.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a movable automatic quick-change device for spinning bobbins, including a support base 1, a clamping system 2, a placement system 3, a controller 4, an infrared sensor 5, an electric blade 6, a collection box 7, and moving wheels 8. The clamping system 2, mounted above the support base 1 and used to clamp the spinning bobbins, includes first slide rails 21 mounted at both ends of the support base 1. A first electric slider is slidably connected within the first slide rails 21, and a second slide rail 22 is fixedly connected upwards to the first electric slider; that is, the second slide rail 22 can move back and forth along the direction of the first slide rail 21. A second electric slider is slidably connected within the second slide rail 22, and a third slide rail 23 connects between the left and right second electric sliders; that is, the third slide rail 23 can move up and down along the direction of the second slide rail 22. A third electric slider is slidably connected within the third slide rail 23, and a robotic arm 24 is fixedly connected to the third electric slider; that is, the robotic arm 24 can move left and right along the direction of the third slide rail 23. Thus, the robotic arm 24 can move back and forth, left and right, and up and down relative to the support base 1. Several clamps 25 are fixedly connected to one end of the robotic arm 24. The clamps 25 are evenly distributed at equal intervals, and the distance between adjacent clamps 25 is equal to the distance between adjacent spinning bobbins on the textile machine, so as to ensure that the clamps 25 on the robotic arm 24 can clamp multiple spinning bobbins at one time. The clamps 25 are grippers with circular slots 251, the specifications of which are adapted to the specifications of the top of the spinning bobbin, so as to ensure that the top of the spinning bobbin can enter the clamp 25. An annular square hole 252 is opened on the inner wall of the circular slot 251, and a rubber pad 253 adapted to the square hole 252 is arranged inside the square hole 252. An air inlet 254 is opened at the center of the top of the clamp 25 and is connected to an air pump 29 installed on the robotic arm 24 through an air inlet pipe 255. The air pump 29 inflates the clamp 25 through the air inlet pipe 255, so that the rubber pad 253 is compressed into the circular slot 251 under pressure, thereby clamping the spinning bobbin. An exhaust port 256 is provided on the air inlet pipe 255, and a solenoid valve 257 is installed on the exhaust port 256. When the solenoid valve 257 is opened, the gas in the clamp 25 is discharged, and the rubber pad 253 returns to its original shape after being depressurized, thus loosening the clamp on the spinning bobbin.

[0031] The placement system 3 for automatically placing and replenishing empty spinning bobbins includes a feeding hopper 31, which is used to lay out empty spinning bobbins. The bottom center of the feeding hopper 31 is provided with a drain and is connected downward to a guide channel 32, which is used to arrange and load empty spinning bobbins in an orderly manner. The bottom end of the guide channel 32 points to the limiting rod of the spinning bobbin of the textile machine, so that the empty spinning bobbins can enter the limiting rod one by one in a rhythm and be placed in place.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, a controller 4, an infrared sensor 5, an electric blade 6, and a collection box 7 are respectively installed on the support base 1. The controller 4 is electrically connected to and controls the solenoid valve 257, the first drive motor 26, the second drive motor 27, the third drive motor 28, the air pump 29, the infrared sensor 5, and the electric blade 6. The infrared sensor 5 is used to detect the passing spinning bobbins, and the electric blade 6 is used to cut the yarn on the spinning bobbins. The collection box 7, located below the robotic arm 24 inside the support base 1, is used to collect the gripped spinning bobbins.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the gripping system 2 further includes a first drive motor 26, a second drive motor 27, and a third drive motor 28, which are electrically connected to and driven by the first electric slider, the second electric slider, and the third electric slider, respectively.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, two sets of casters 8 are mounted on the bottom of the support base 1, one set of which is an electric caster; the electric caster drives the caster 8 to move the support base 1. The electric caster is prior art, so it will not be described in detail.

[0035] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0036] Once the spinning bobbin on the production line has finished winding, this automatic quick change device is activated when it approaches the production line. The electric wheel drives the moving wheel 8, causing the support base 1 to move along the direction of the production line.

[0037] Automatic clamping process: Controller 4 activates the front-end infrared sensor 5 to begin detection, in order to... Figure 1 Taking the robotic arm 24 with 8 clamps as an example, after the infrared sensor 5 passes through the 8 spinning bobbins, the controller 4 controls the first drive motor 26, the second drive motor 27, and the third drive motor 28 to drive the first electric slider, the second electric slider, and the third electric slider respectively, which in turn drive the second slide rail 22, the third slide rail 23, and the robotic arm 24 to move, aligning the 8 clamps 25 with the 8 spinning bobbins so that the 8 spinning bobbins enter the circular slot 251. The controller 4 starts the air pump 29 to inflate the clamps 25, so that the rubber pad 253 is compressed into the circular slot 251, thereby clamping the spinning bobbins. Then the robotic arm 24 rises and drives the clamped spinning bobbins to disengage from the limit rod. The controller 4 starts the electric blade 6 to slide and cut the yarn. After the electric blade 6 resets, the robotic arm 24 moves to the collection box 7. The controller 4 starts the solenoid valve 257 to release the gas. The rubber pad 253 returns to its original shape and loosens the clamp on the spinning bobbins, which fall into the collection box 7.

[0038] Automatic placement process: After the robotic arm 24 rises and drives the clamped spinning bobbin to disengage from the limit bar, the limit bar is empty. After the infrared sensor 5 in the middle fails to detect the spinning bobbin (the limit bar is empty), the controller 4 opens the vent. The empty spinning bobbin enters the guide channel 32 from the feed hopper 31 through the vent. After the empty spinning bobbins are arranged and loaded in an orderly manner, they enter the limit bar one by one from the bottom of the guide channel 32 and are placed in place.

[0039] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical structures, the control method and circuit connection and other technical means will not be described in detail.

[0040] Of course, the embodiments described in this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
