Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass fiber yarn tray transportation devices, and in particular to an automated device for correcting skewed yarn trays during the transportation of glass fiber yarn trays. Background Technology
[0002] Since the automated transport system for the elevated warehouse, specifically developed for Jushi Group Co., Ltd., was put into use, the system has basically achieved fully automated transport of finished yarn. However, due to the on-site working environment and equipment factors, the fully automated transport system occasionally experiences yarn pallets becoming skewed during transport on the chain conveyor. This causes yarn pallets to fall off on their way to the exit. Falling yarn pallets can cause minor damage to the pallets, or even affect the quality of the finished yarn on them. It can also cause malfunctions in the chain conveyor and transfer machine, greatly increasing the failure rate of these devices and seriously affecting the working efficiency of the yarn pallet transport equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated device for correcting skewed fiberglass yarn trays during transportation.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] An automated device for correcting misaligned fiberglass yarn trays during transport includes a front chain machine, a transfer machine, an adjusting chain machine, and a rear chain machine. The adjusting chain machine is positioned between the front and rear chain machines, and its conveying direction is perpendicular to that of the front and rear chain machines. The transfer machine is installed below the adjusting chain machine and is equipped with a position sensor to detect whether the yarn tray has shifted. A lifting mechanism is located at the bottom of the transfer machine, and a storage slot is located at the top. When the lifting mechanism raises the transfer machine to a position flush with the front and rear chain machines, it stores the conveyor chain of the adjusting chain machine into the storage slot. A stop block is installed on one side of the adjusting chain machine above the conveyor chain to prevent the yarn tray from moving. The front chain machine, transfer machine, adjusting chain machine, rear chain machine, and position sensor are all communicatively connected to a controller.
[0006] Furthermore, the regulating chain machine consists of two conveyor chains on both sides and a support chain in the middle.
[0007] Furthermore, the structures of the front chain machine and the rear chain machine are the same as those of the adjusting chain machine. By setting an intermediate support chain, the stability of the silk conveyor is improved.
[0008] Furthermore, the number of the stops is two, and the two stops are located above the two conveyor chains of the adjusting chain machine.
[0009] Furthermore, the number of position sensors is two, and the two position sensors are symmetrically installed on the transfer machine.
[0010] Furthermore, the position sensor employs a diffuse reflection photoelectric switch BGS-Z30P.
[0011] Furthermore, the controller uses a PLC, which has the advantages of reliability and stability, enabling fully automated guidance of the device.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper end of the transfer machine is provided with several rotatable transfer rollers, which are staggered with the receiving trough.
[0013] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism is an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which enables precise lifting and lowering of the transfer machine.
[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) This type of automated guiding device has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, and the guiding position is controllable and adjustable, thereby accurately controlling the position of the yarn support and reducing the occurrence of yarn support skew.
[0016] (2) The reliability of this type of automated guidance device can greatly improve the yield rate of the transportation system, thereby extending the service life of subsequent equipment, reducing the maintenance work of subsequent equipment, and improving the reliability of subsequent equipment operation.
[0017] (3) By adjusting the position of the diffuse reflection photoelectric switch, this device can be applied to trays of various specifications, thereby making the device more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automated device for correcting skewed fiberglass trays during transport includes a front chain machine 1, a transfer machine 3, an adjusting chain machine 4, and a rear chain machine 6. The adjusting chain machine 4 is positioned between the front chain machine 1 and the rear chain machine 6, with its conveying direction perpendicular to that of the front and rear chain machines 1 and 6. The transfer machine 3 is installed below the adjusting chain machine 4 and is equipped with a position sensor 9 to detect whether the tray 2 has shifted. The bottom of the transfer machine 3 has a lifting mechanism, and the upper end of the transfer machine 3 has a storage groove 8. When the lifting mechanism raises the transfer machine 3 to a position flush with the front and rear chain machines, it stores the conveying chain of the adjusting chain machine 4 into the storage groove 8. A stop block 5 is installed on one side of the adjusting chain machine 4 above the conveying chain to prevent the tray 2 from moving. The front chain machine 1, the transfer machine 3, the adjusting chain machine 4, the rear chain machine 6, and the position sensor 9 are all communicatively connected to a controller.
[0026] Furthermore, the regulating chain machine 4 consists of two conveyor chains arranged on both sides and a support chain arranged in the middle.
[0027] Furthermore, the structures of the front chain machine 1 and the rear chain machine 2 are the same as those of the adjusting chain machine 4. By setting an intermediate support chain, the stability of the silk tray conveying is improved.
[0028] Furthermore, there are two stop blocks 5, which are located above the two conveyor chains of the adjusting chain machine 4.
[0029] Furthermore, there are two position sensors 9, which are symmetrically mounted on the transfer machine 3.
[0030] Furthermore, the position sensor 9 employs a diffuse reflection photoelectric switch BGS-Z30P.
[0031] Furthermore, the controller uses a PLC, which has the advantages of reliability and stability, enabling fully automated guidance of the device.
[0032] Furthermore, the upper end of the transfer machine 3 is provided with several rotatable transfer rollers 7, and the several transfer rollers 7 are staggered with the receiving groove 8.
[0033] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism is an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which enables precise lifting of the transfer machine 3.
[0034] Working process: After the skewed yarn carrier moves onto the transfer machine ( Figure 3 As shown), the position sensor provides a signal, and the system determines the position by the time difference of the sensor's activation and different signal states. If the yarn tray is centered, the sensors light up simultaneously and send a signal to the PLC. If the yarn tray is skewed, there will be a large time difference in the signal transmission between the two sensors, or one of the sensors may not be triggered. In this case, a correction program is executed. The correction program controls the transfer machine rollers to descend, causing the yarn tray to fall onto the chain. After a short delay, the chain is controlled to rotate forward, making the yarn tray make close contact with the stop block. Figure 4 (As shown), after contact, continue rotating clockwise for 5 seconds and then stop to ensure there is no gap between the yarn tray and the stop block. After a short delay, reverse the chain. Since the distance between the stop block and the center position of the transfer machine is fixed, reverse for 6 seconds to bring the yarn tray to the center position of the transfer machine (the 6-second time can be adjusted according to the actual position). Figure 5 (As shown). After the yarn tray is moved to the middle position, the transfer machine rollers rise to lift the yarn tray, completing the guiding action, and then continue to perform the yarn tray conveying task.
[0035] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
