Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tire manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a steel wire ring feeding device with dual-station feeding. Background Technology

[0002] In tire production, steel wire rings need to be attached to the tire drum, which is covered with several layers of rubber, before the rubber is reversed. The current common practice is to manually place the steel wire ring onto the steel wire ring holder, move the holder to the working position, and then use a carrier ring to transfer the steel wire ring onto the tire drum. After that, the holder returns to the working position, and the steel wire ring is manually added.

[0003] There is a problem with this type of wire ring pre-positioning method. When the wire ring pre-positioning seat is in the working position, the worker cannot place the wire ring on the seat. Therefore, the worker has very little time to operate. The worker needs to frequently and promptly pick up and put down the wire ring. If the wire ring is not placed down immediately, the equipment will stop after the previous tire is made, which seriously affects the production efficiency of the equipment. Moreover, the worker's labor intensity is high, their nerves are tense, and they are prone to making mistakes.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a dual-station wire ring feeding device, which aims to improve production efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of workers. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a dual-station wire ring feeding device, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] Several sets of wire rings are placed on the wire ring pre-positioning seat. When one set of wire ring pre-positioning seats is in the working position, the other set of wire ring pre-positioning seats is in the operating position, and the two sets of wire ring pre-positioning seats are alternately positioned.

[0009] The gantry frame and the drive assembly work together to drive the wire ring transfer mechanism to reciprocate between the wire ring pre-positioned seat and the tire drum;

[0010] The wire bead transfer mechanism is used to transfer the wire bead on the wire bead pre-positioned seat to the tire drum.

[0011] Furthermore, the wire ring pre-positioned seat includes: a base, a set of parallel first slide rails is provided on the upper surface of the base, an expansion and contraction mechanism is slidably provided on the first slide rails, and a telescopic cylinder is provided on one side of the base, with the extended end of the telescopic cylinder fixedly connected to the expansion and contraction mechanism.

[0012] The expansion and contraction mechanism is used to place several sets of the steel wire rings, and the telescopic cylinder is used to drive the expansion and contraction mechanism to move on the first slide rail.

[0013] Furthermore, the expansion and contraction mechanism includes: a support slidably connected to the first slide rail, a vertical sidewall provided on the support, a drive motor provided on one side of the vertical sidewall, the working end of the drive motor extending to the other side of the vertical sidewall and fixedly connected to a first lead screw, and a lead screw nut threadedly connected to the first lead screw.

[0014] The vertical sidewall is provided with a number of second slide rails, which are evenly distributed around the axis of the first lead screw. Each of the second slide rails is slidably provided with a movable frame. A third slide rail is inclinedly provided on the side of the movable frame away from the second slide rail. The lead screw nut is provided with an expansion and contraction slider that cooperates with the third slide rail.

[0015] The movable frame has tiles on its side wall away from the lead screw nut.

[0016] Furthermore, the tile has several placement grooves for placing steel wire rings.

[0017] Furthermore, the wire ring transfer mechanism includes: a mounting frame, which is slidably disposed on the gantry frame and cooperates with the drive assembly;

[0018] The mounting bracket has a pair of parallel movable plates slidably mounted on its lower part. The movable plates have a pair of opening and closing seats slidably mounted on their lower parts. The opening and closing seats cooperate with the movable plates through a linear slide rail assembly. The opening and closing seats at the same position on the two movable plates are connected by a slide rod and an opening and closing seat connecting block. The adjacent side walls of the opening and closing seats are provided with clamping plates adapted to the wire ring. The inner circumferential surface of the clamping plates is provided with a wire ring clamping groove, which is used to clamp the wire ring.

[0019] The mounting frame is equipped with a front-to-back opening and closing drive assembly and a left-to-right spacing adjustment assembly. The front-to-back opening and closing drive assembly is used to drive the movable plate to move back and forth on the mounting frame, thereby driving the opening and closing seats mounted on the movable plate to open and close. The left-to-right spacing adjustment assembly is used to drive the opening and closing seats to move left and right on the movable plate, so that the left and right distance between the opening and closing seats mounted on the same movable plate increases or decreases.

The opening and closing motor is fixedly connected to the mounting frame and drives the second lead screw to rotate through the pulley assembly, thereby driving the left and right spacing of the opening and closing seats to increase or decrease.

[0021] Furthermore, the front and rear opening and closing drive assembly includes: a pair of opening and closing cylinders fixedly installed on the lower part of the mounting frame, the opening and closing cylinders respectively cooperating with the moving plate to drive the moving plate to move back and forth, thereby driving the opening and closing seat installed on the moving plate to open and close.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0023] 1. The utility model discloses a dual-station wire ring feeding device. One set of wire ring pre-positioned seats is in the working position, supplying wire rings to the tire drum, while the other set is in the operating position, allowing for simultaneous feeding of new wire rings. This allows for rapid switching to the other set after the wire rings on one set are depleted, avoiding the downtime of a single-station feeding device and achieving continuous, uninterrupted production, significantly improving overall production efficiency.

[0024] 2. In the entire wire ring feeding process of the dual-station feeding wire ring feeding device described in the utility model, from the pre-setting and transfer of the wire ring to its placement on the tire drum, most operations are automatically completed by the wire ring transfer mechanism and drive assembly, reducing the number of manual intervention steps. Each wire ring pre-setting seat can hold multiple sets of wire rings at one time, and the operator does not need to waste time waiting for the wire ring to be placed on the tire drum before the wire ring pre-setting seat returns to the operating position, thus extending the operator's working time and reducing the operator's workload by not having to frequently pick up and put down the wire rings.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of this application and the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a dual-station wire ring feeding device includes: two sets of wire ring pre-positioning seats 1 arranged side by side at intervals; a tire drum 3 is provided on one side of the wire ring pre-positioning seat 1; a gantry frame 4 is provided above the wire ring pre-positioning seat 1 and the tire drum 3; and a wire ring transfer mechanism 2 and a drive assembly for moving the wire ring transfer mechanism 2 are provided on the gantry frame 4.

[0037] Several sets of wire rings are placed on the wire ring pre-positioning seat 1. When one set of wire ring pre-positioning seat 1 is in the working position, the other set of wire ring pre-positioning seat 1 is in the operating position, and the two sets of wire ring pre-positioning seats 1 are alternately positioned.

[0038] The gantry frame 4 works in conjunction with the drive assembly to drive the wire ring transfer mechanism 2 to reciprocate between the wire ring pre-positioned seat 1 and the tire drum 3;

[0039] The wire ring transfer mechanism 2 is used to transfer the wire ring on the wire ring pre-positioned seat 1 to the tire drum 3.

[0040] With one set of wire ring pre-positioned seats 1 in the working position, responsible for supplying wire rings to the tire drum 3, another set of wire ring pre-positioned seats 1 is in the operating position, allowing for the simultaneous loading of new wire rings. This way, after the wire rings on one set of pre-positioned seats 1 have been supplied, the system can quickly switch to the other set of pre-positioned seats that has already been loaded, avoiding the downtime and waiting time that occurs with single-station feeding devices during each loading cycle. This achieves continuous and uninterrupted production, significantly improving overall production efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the wire ring pre-positioning seat 1 includes: a base 101, a set of parallel first slide rails 102 are provided on the upper surface of the base 101, an expansion and contraction mechanism 104 is slidably provided on the first slide rails 102, and a telescopic cylinder 103 is provided on one side of the base 101, with the extended end of the telescopic cylinder 103 fixedly connected to the expansion and contraction mechanism 104.

[0042] The expansion and contraction mechanism 104 is used to place several sets of steel wire rings, and the telescopic cylinder 103 is used to drive the expansion and contraction mechanism 104 to move on the first slide rail 102.

[0043] The expansion and contraction mechanism 104 is mounted on the first slide rail 102 and can be moved by the telescopic cylinder 103, allowing the expansion and contraction mechanism 104 to be adjusted in position according to actual needs. When placing the wire ring, the expansion and contraction mechanism 104 can be moved to the operating position, making it convenient for workers to accurately place several sets of wire rings onto the expansion and contraction mechanism 104. When the wire ring transfer mechanism 2 picks up the wire ring, the expansion and contraction mechanism 104 can also be moved to the working position, making it easier for the transfer mechanism to grab the wire ring and improving the convenience of operation.

[0044] Preferably, when the expansion and contraction mechanism 104 is in the working position, the central axis of the expansion and contraction mechanism 104 is collinear with the central axis of the tire drum 3, which facilitates the wire ring transfer mechanism 2 to grasp the wire ring.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the expansion and contraction mechanism 104 includes: a support 1041 slidably connected to the first slide rail 102, a vertical sidewall provided on the support 1041, a drive motor 1044 provided on one side of the vertical sidewall, the working end of the drive motor 1044 extending to the other side of the vertical sidewall and fixedly connected to a first lead screw 1043, and a lead screw nut 1045 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 1043;

[0046] A plurality of second slide rails 1042 are provided on the vertical sidewall. The second slide rails 1042 are evenly distributed around the axis of the first lead screw 1043. A movable frame 1046 is slidably provided on each of the second slide rails 1042. A third slide rail 1047 is inclinedly provided on the side of the movable frame 1046 away from the second slide rails 1042. An expansion and contraction slider 1048 that cooperates with the third slide rail 1047 is provided on the lead screw nut 1045.

[0047] The movable frame 1046 has tiles 1049 on its side wall away from the lead screw nut 1045.

[0048] The drive motor 1044 drives the first lead screw 1043 to rotate, and the rotational motion is converted into linear motion through the lead screw nut 1045. The expansion and contraction slider 1048 on the lead screw nut 1045 cooperates with the third slide rail 1047 on the moving frame 1046 to convert the linear motion of the lead screw nut 1045 into radial movement of the moving frame 1046 on the second slide rail 1042. Since the second slide rail 1042 is evenly distributed with the axis of the first lead screw 1043 as the center, each moving frame 1046 can realize expansion and contraction actions synchronously and precisely. This precise expansion and contraction control can adjust the position of the tile 1049 according to the size and specifications of the wire ring, thereby reliably tightening the wire ring and ensuring the accurate position of the wire ring on the preset seat, providing a good foundation for subsequent transfer and assembly.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the tile 1049 has several placement grooves, which are used to place steel wire rings.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the wire ring transfer mechanism 2 includes: a mounting frame 201, which is slidably disposed on the gantry frame 4 and cooperates with the drive assembly;

[0051] The mounting bracket 201 has a pair of parallel movable plates 202 slidably disposed at its lower part. The movable plates 202 have a pair of opening and closing seats 203 slidably disposed at their lower parts. The opening and closing seats 203 cooperate with the movable plates 202 through a linear slide rail assembly 212. The opening and closing seats 203 at the same position on the two movable plates 202 are connected by a slide rod 210 and an opening and closing seat connecting block 211. The adjacent side walls of the opening and closing seats 203 are provided with clamping plates 204 adapted to the wire ring. The inner circumferential surface of the clamping plates 204 is provided with a wire ring clamping groove 205, which is used to clamp the wire ring.

[0052] The mounting frame 201 is provided with a front-to-back opening and closing drive assembly and a left-to-right spacing adjustment assembly. The front-to-back opening and closing drive assembly is used to drive the movable plate 202 to move back and forth on the mounting frame 201, thereby driving the opening and closing seat 203 mounted on the movable plate 202 to open and close. The left-to-right spacing adjustment assembly is used to drive the opening and closing seat 203 to move left and right on the movable plate 202, so that the left and right distance between the opening and closing seats mounted on the same movable plate 202 increases or decreases.

[0053] The mounting bracket 201 is slidably mounted on the gantry frame 4 and cooperates with the drive assembly. This allows the wire ring transfer mechanism 2 to move freely within the range defined by the gantry frame 4. It can flexibly adjust its position according to the positions of the wire ring pre-positioned seat 1 and the tire drum 3, accurately reaching the wire ring picking position and the tire drum dispensing position. This improves the accuracy and flexibility of the transfer process and adapts to different production layouts and working scenarios. In one specific embodiment, the drive assembly on the gantry frame 4 can be a lead screw and nut drive assembly, a synchronous belt drive assembly, etc., and the specific structure is not limited.

[0054] Since the spacing between the wire rings on the wire ring pre-positioning seat 1 is very small, while the spacing between the wire rings on the tire carcass drum 3 is relatively large, it is necessary to use the left and right spacing adjustment component to reduce the spacing between the two sets of opening and closing seats to grab the wire rings on the wire ring pre-positioning seat 1, and then increase the spacing to put the wire rings on the correct position on the tire carcass drum.

[0055] The front and rear opening and closing drive assembly facilitates the opening and closing of the clamping plate 204, thereby gripping the wire ring.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the left and right spacing adjustment assembly includes: a second lead screw 206, an opening and closing motor 207, and a pulley assembly 208. The two ends of the second lead screw 206 are rotatably connected to the lower part of the mounting frame 201. One side of the second lead screw 206 is left-handed and the other side is right-handed, and they are threadedly connected to an opening and closing seat connecting block 211 on the left and right sides, respectively. The opening and closing motor 207 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 201 and drives the second lead screw 206 to rotate through the pulley assembly 208, thereby driving the left and right spacing of the opening and closing seats 203 to increase or decrease.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear opening and closing drive assembly includes a pair of opening and closing cylinders 209 fixedly installed on the lower part of the mounting bracket 201. The opening and closing cylinders 209 cooperate with the moving plate 202 respectively to drive the moving plate to move back and forth, thereby driving the opening and closing seat 203 installed on the moving plate 202 to open and close.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
