Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain production technology, specifically to an automatic chain weaving machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chain braiding machines are a type of mechanical equipment used for braiding high-strength lifting chains, industrial chains, and other chain links. They are characterized by easy operation, good practicality, strong stability, high braiding precision, and convenient adjustment. Currently, the manufacturing industry of chain braiding machines in my country is developing rapidly, and a new situation of intensive and technological rapid development of the industry has gradually formed, led by industry leaders such as Northern Welding Machine.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220073174U discloses an automatic chain braiding machine. This patented technology adds a cleaning device. When the metal chain passes through the inner side of the conveyor ring, the brush rod can brush off the dust and iron filings on the outer side of the metal chain. The dust enters the fixed frame under the action of the dust suction fan. The magnetic plate adsorbs the fallen iron filings on its outer wall. The dust suction fan transports the iron filings and dust in the fixed frame and on the magnetic plate to the dust collection box through the connecting pipe, completing the chain cleaning work. The dust collection box can collect the dust and iron filings on the outer side of the chain, avoiding the processing of metal chains with a large amount of dust, iron filings and other debris, and preventing iron filings from scattering and causing pollution in the workshop, thus improving the processing quality of the chain and the working environment of the workshop.

[0004] However, as can be seen from the specification and drawings of the aforementioned patent technology, in the specific implementation of the aforementioned patent technology, the dust and iron filings sucked up by the chain are first passed through the dust extraction fan and then transported to the dust collection box. This causes the dust and iron filings to wear down the internal structure of the dust extraction fan during the transportation process, resulting in a significant reduction in the service life of the dust extraction fan. Therefore, there are still some shortcomings in its specific use.

[0005] In conclusion, it is very necessary to invent an automatic chain weaving machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address this issue, this utility model provides an automatic chain weaving machine to solve the problem that dust and iron filings cause wear to the internal structure of the vacuum cleaner during the conveying process, resulting in a significant reduction in the service life of the vacuum cleaner.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic chain braiding machine, including a workbench, a conveyor plate is provided on one side of the top of the outer wall of the workbench, a chain braiding mechanism is installed on the top of the outer wall of the workbench and on the side of the conveyor plate near the center, and a cleaning component for cleaning the chain is provided on the top of the outer wall of the workbench and on the side of the chain braiding mechanism away from the conveyor plate.

[0009] Preferably, a chain-weaving top plate for use with the chain-weaving mechanism is installed at the center of the top of the outer wall of the workbench, and a cleaning roller structure is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning channel and at the end near the chain-weaving mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the multiple cleaning roller structures are evenly arranged in an array, and each cleaning roller structure includes a brush roller, with each end of the multiple brush rollers being rotatably connected to a mounting frame via a bearing seat.

[0011] Preferably, one end of each mounting bracket is fixed at a position corresponding to the inner wall side of the cleaning box, and one end of each mounting bracket is fixed with a drive motor for driving the brush roller to rotate in both directions.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall side of the filter box and the end near the chain braiding mechanism are all connected to a suction pipe, and the inner wall of the cleaning channel and the rear side of the cleaning roller structure are all provided with a suction groove for suction. The end of the suction pipe away from the filter box is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the top side of the inner wall of the suction groove.

[0013] Preferably, a vacuum cleaner is installed on the right side of the outer wall of the filter box, and a magnetic filter for primary filtration is slidably installed on the inner wall of the filter box and on the side near the vacuum pipe.

[0014] Preferably, an air-gathering hopper is fixed to the inner wall of the filter box on the side of the magnetic filter screen near the vacuum fan, and the air-gathering hopper is designed with a tapered opening.

[0015] Preferably, the inner wall of the filter box and the side of the air-collecting hopper away from the magnetic filter screen are slidably connected to a mounting base, and a filter bag for secondary filtration of dust is fixed at the through groove position on the mounting base.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] In this invention, the dust and iron filings sucked up by the suction pipe can be directly transported into the filter box by placing the dust and iron filings behind the filter box. The magnetic filter screen and mounting base inside the filter box then perform secondary filtration, which avoids the dust and iron filings from causing wear to the internal structure of the dust collector, thereby extending the service life of the dust collector and making it more convenient for users to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] See attached document Figures 1-5This utility model provides an automatic chain braiding machine, including a workbench 100. A conveyor plate 110 is provided on one side of the top of the outer wall of the workbench 100. A chain braiding mechanism 210 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the workbench 100, near the center of the conveyor plate 110. A chain braiding top plate 200, which cooperates with the chain braiding mechanism 210, is installed at the center of the top of the outer wall of the workbench 100. How the chain braiding mechanism 210 automatically braids the chain is disclosed in patents (CN201644703U and CN220073174U). (The details of the automatic chain linking machine have been disclosed in detail, so this utility model will not be described in detail here.) A cleaning component for cleaning the chain is provided at the top of the outer wall of the workbench 100, on the side of the chain linking mechanism 210 away from the conveyor plate 110. The cleaning component includes a cleaning box 300, which is fixed to the right side of the top of the outer wall of the workbench 100. A cleaning channel 310 for cleaning the chain is fixed inside the cleaning box 300. A filter box 400 for filtering is installed at the rear end of the outer wall of the cleaning box 300. A cleaning filter is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning channel 310 at the end near the chain linking mechanism 210. The cleaning roller structure 320 has a cleaning channel 310 to allow the chain to pass through. The cleaning roller structure 320 can be located on the outer wall side of the chain. Multiple cleaning roller structures 320 are evenly arranged in an array. Each cleaning roller structure 320 includes a brush roller 321. Both ends of the multiple brush rollers 321 are rotatably connected to a mounting frame 322 via bearing seats. One end of each mounting frame 322 is fixed to a corresponding position on the inner wall side of the cleaning box 300. A drive motor 323 is fixed to one end of each mounting frame 322 to drive the brush rollers 321 to rotate in both directions. 23 can drive the brush roller 321 to rotate after being powered on, so that the brush roller 321 can clean the outer wall of the chain passing through. Since the dust and iron filings after the chain is cleaned are relatively light, they can be sucked up by the dust collection groove 330. The cleaning layer of the brush roller 321 can be a metal bristle layer or a hard nylon layer. The bottom of the filter box 400 is fixed with a mounting base that matches the shape of the outer wall side of the cleaning box 300. The top sealing plate of the filter box 400 needs to be fixed in a detachable manner to facilitate subsequent cleaning of the magnetic filter screen 430 and filter bag 451.

[0026] The inner wall of the filter box 400, near the end of the chain-link mechanism 210, is connected to a suction pipe 410. The inner wall of the cleaning channel 310, located behind the cleaning roller structure 320, is provided with a suction trough 330. The filter box 400 can be equipped with suction pipes 410 to allow suction from the suction troughs 330. The collected dust and metal shavings enter the filter box 400 through the suction pipes 410. The size of the suction troughs 330 can be selected according to specific needs. The end of the filter box 400 furthest from the filter box 400 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position on the top side of the inner wall of the dust collection tank 330. A dust collection fan 420 is installed on the right side of the outer wall of the filter box 400. The dust collection fan 420 can be set on the outside of the filter layer to prevent dust and iron filings from entering the chain top plate 200. A magnetic filter screen 430 for primary filtration is slidably installed on the inner wall of the filter box 400 and the side near the dust collection pipe 410. The magnetic filter screen 430 can be made of iron and magnetically attracted. Several permanent magnets can be attached to the filter screen 430, so that the entire magnetic filter screen 430 will also be magnetic, thus enabling magnetic filtration of passing iron filings. An air-collecting hopper 440 is fixed to the inner wall of the filter box 400, on the side of the magnetic filter screen 430 closest to the vacuum fan 420. The air-collecting hopper 440 has a tapered design and is used to collect filtered dust and air, allowing it to be transported to the filter bag 451. Mounting seats 450 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the filter box 400, on the side of the air-collecting hopper 440 furthest from the magnetic filter screen 430. A filter bag 451 for secondary dust filtration is fixed to a slot on the mounting seat 450. The mounting seat 450 is designed to install the filter bag 451 in a suitable position inside the filter box 400. The filter bag 451 filters and collects passing dust, facilitating subsequent dust cleaning. The filter bag 451 needs to be detachably fixed to the mounting seat 450.

[0027] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: Those skilled in the art can assemble the device according to the above description, then connect all electrical equipment to an external power supply and connect a controller for easy operation. Then, personnel can use an external conveying device (existing technology, not shown in the figure) to convey the metal strip to the chain-making mechanism 210, allowing the chain-making mechanism 210 to process it into a chain. The chain is then passed through the cleaning channel 310, and the brush roller 321 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 323, enabling the brush roller 321 to clean the chain. The outer wall of the strip is cleaned, and personnel can start the vacuum fan 420 to draw air into the filter box 400. The filter box 400 can then suck up the dust and iron filings from the cleaning through the suction pipe 410 and the suction trough 330, and transport them into the filter box 400 through the suction pipe 410. The magnetic filter screen 430 will attract and filter the iron filings under the action of a permanent magnet, and the dust will be collected in the air hopper 440 and stored in the filter bag 451. The filtered air can be discharged through the vacuum fan 420.

[0028] After a period of use, personnel can remove the top cover of the filter box 400 after shutdown, and then remove the magnetic filter screen 430 and the mounting base 450 from the filter box 400. Then, personnel can clean the magnetic filter screen 430 and the filter bag 451.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
