Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of welding wire production, and in particular to a welding wire coil turning machine. Background Technology

[0002] In welding wire processing, the welding wire spool needs to be conveyed. Welding wire spool conveying equipment often uses a welding wire spool turning machine. Existing Chinese utility model patent CN218706704U discloses a turning machine, which includes a frame, adjustable columns, an inclined slide, a blocking mechanism, a turning mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a controller. The frame includes a mounting base plate, a first column, a second column, and a third column. A crossbeam is installed on one side of the first column. One end of the inclined slide is fixedly connected to the top surface of the first column, and the other end of the inclined slide... The other end of the crossbeam is connected via an adjustable column. A blocking mechanism is set between the adjustable column and the first column. A flipping mechanism is rotatably connected to the connecting rod between the first and second columns. A feeding mechanism is set on the top of the third column. The controller is electrically connected to the blocking mechanism, the flipping mechanism, and the feeding mechanism. The controller controls the actions of the blocking mechanism, the flipping mechanism, and the feeding mechanism to achieve the blocking, release, flipping, and pushing of the welding wire spool. It has a simple structure, a high degree of automation, is easy to use, and has strong operability, which improves production efficiency and production safety.

[0003] The aforementioned existing flipping machine provides a solution for horizontally or downwardly conveying and flipping the welding wire spool, but it is not suitable for conveying and flipping the welding wire spool upward. Therefore, proposing a flipping machine that conveys and flips the welding wire spool upward would be practical. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a welding wire reel turning machine that can automatically feed and turn the welding wire reel upwards, and has good practicality.

[0005] This utility model discloses a welding wire coil turning machine, including a turning motor and a mounting base. The turning motor is mounted on a frame, and the mounting base is mounted on the output shaft of the turning motor. It also includes a gripping arm, a vertical frame, a lower support plate, an upper support plate, and an inclined guide groove. The gripping arm is mounted on the mounting base and is used to grip the welding wire coil. The vertical frame is height-adjustable and mounted on the frame. The lower support plate is horizontally mounted at the lower end of the vertical frame, and the upper support plate is inclinedly mounted at the upper part of the vertical frame. The upper support plate has a slot to avoid the gripping arm, and the inclined guide groove is installed on the lower edge of the upper support plate. During operation, the welding wire coil is horizontally conveyed to the lower support plate, and the turning motor drives the mounting base to rotate, causing the gripping arm to vertically... The vertical frame rises, aligning the wire reel with the center insertion hole. The lower support plate then lifts the wire reel, allowing the outer end of the gripper arm to insert into the hole and grasp it. The output shaft of the flipping motor drives the mounting base to rotate 1-80 degrees, causing the gripper arm to carry the wire reel above the upper support plate. The slot of the upper support plate avoids the gripper arm. The vertical frame then raises the upper support plate, lifting it and disengaging it from the gripper arm. The wire reel slides along the inclined upper support plate into the inclined guide groove and stands upright. The wire reel then rolls along the inclined guide groove to the next station, achieving automatic upward conveying and flipping of the wire reel, making it highly practical.

[0006] Preferably, the gripping arm includes an arm tube, a sleeve, and multiple spring plates. The inner end of the arm tube is connected to the side wall of the mounting base, and the sleeve is fitted onto the outer end of the arm tube. The side wall of the sleeve is provided with multiple storage slots and multiple spring plates. The outer ends of the multiple spring plates are connected to the inner walls of the outer ends of the multiple storage slots of the sleeve, and the upper ends of the multiple spring plates extend out of the sleeve. When the arm tube drives the sleeve vertically downward, and the lower support plate lifts the welding wire spool, the sleeve is inserted into the insertion hole of the welding wire spool, so that the upper ends of the multiple spring plates are pressed against the inner wall of the insertion hole of the welding wire spool, thereby gripping the welding wire spool. The structure is simple and has good practicality.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a cone block and a top block. The middle of each of the multiple spring sheets has a trapezoidal protrusion extending inward. The inner end of the cone block is slidably inserted into the lower port of the sleeve. The inner edge of the cone block is provided with a slope that matches the protrusion of the spring sheet. The top block is installed at the outer end of the cone block and is located on the outside of the sleeve. When the lower support plate lifts the welding wire spool up so that the sleeve is inserted into the middle insertion hole of the welding wire spool, the lower support plate contacts the top block and pushes the cone block upward, so that the slope of the cone block slides and engages with the lower edge of the protrusion of the multiple spring sheets, thereby pushing the multiple spring sheets outward, so that the multiple spring sheets exert greater pressure on the welding wire spool and improve the gripping stability of the welding wire spool.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a slot, with a slot provided on the middle side wall of the cone block, the slot matching the inner edge of the protrusion of the multiple spring pieces; when the cone block pushes the multiple protrusions outward to push the multiple spring pieces into place, the inner edge of the protrusion of the multiple spring pieces is engaged in the multiple slots of the cone block, thereby making the multiple spring pieces and the cone block elastically positioned to each other, improving reliability.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a push rod, a top rod, and a pressure plate. The push rod is installed on the inner end of the cone block, the top rod is installed in the arm tube, and the push rod and top rod are aligned. The pressure plate is installed on the upper end of the vertical frame and is located above the upper support plate. The pressure plate is provided with a second slot to avoid the sleeve. When the arm tube and the sleeve drive the welding wire spool to flip upward and transport the welding wire spool to the upper support plate, the vertical frame drives the pressure plate to descend, so that the pressure plate pushes the welding wire spool and the sleeve downward. Since the top rod is fixed, the sleeve drives the push rod to descend, so that the top rod pushes the push rod towards the outer end of the sleeve. The push rod drives the cone block and the top block to reset outward, so that the cone block disengages from the protrusions of the multiple spring plates, so that the multiple spring plates retract into the inside of the sleeve, thereby releasing the welding wire spool, facilitating the disengagement of the welding wire spool from the sleeve, and improving the flipping efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes an annular support plate, which is installed on the outer wall of the inner end of the sleeve; when the pressure plate pushes the welding wire spool downward, the welding wire spool is supported by the annular support plate, thereby causing the annular support plate to drive the sleeve downward and improve the driving effect on the sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a spring. The sleeve is slidably mounted on the arm tube, and the spring is mounted on the arm tube. The inner end of the spring is connected to the arm tube, and the outer end of the spring is connected to the sleeve. The spring elastically supports the sleeve. When the sleeve releases the welding wire reel, the vertical frame drives the pressure plate and the upper support plate to rise. After the pressure plate separates from the welding wire reel, the spring force causes the sleeve to reset, so that the top rod and the push rod disengage, preparing for the next upward conveying and flipping of the welding wire reel.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a push cylinder, the fixed end of which is mounted on the frame, and the piston rod of the push cylinder is connected to the vertical frame; the piston rod of the push cylinder extends to push the vertical frame and drive the lower support plate, upper support plate and pressure plate to rise, and the piston rod of the push cylinder retracts to drive the vertical frame and drive the lower support plate, upper support plate and pressure plate to fall, so that the lifting effect is stable and reliable.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During operation, the welding wire spool is horizontally conveyed to the lower support plate. The flipping motor drives the mounting base to rotate, causing the gripping arm to move vertically downward and align with the middle insertion hole of the welding wire spool. The vertical frame rises, and the welding wire spool is raised through the lower support plate, so that the outer end of the gripping arm is inserted into the insertion hole of the welding wire spool and grips the welding wire spool. The output shaft of the flipping motor drives the mounting base to rotate 1-80 degrees, so that the gripping arm carries the welding wire spool to the top of the upper support plate. The slot of the upper support plate avoids the gripping arm. The vertical frame drives the upper support plate to rise, so that the upper support plate lifts the welding wire spool and disengages it from the gripping arm. The welding wire spool slides along the inclined upper support plate into the inclined guide groove and stands upright, so that the welding wire spool rolls along the inclined guide groove to the next station, realizing automatic upward conveying and flipping of the welding wire spool, which is practical.

[0022] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete. Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a welding wire coil turning machine includes a turning motor 1 and a mounting base 2. The turning motor 1 is mounted on a frame, and the mounting base 2 is mounted on the output shaft of the turning motor 1. It also includes a gripping arm 3, a vertical frame 4, a lower support plate 5, an upper support plate 6, and an inclined guide groove 7. The gripping arm 3 is mounted on the mounting base 2 and is used to grip the welding wire coil. The vertical frame 4 is vertically and flexibly mounted on the frame. The lower support plate 5 is horizontally mounted at the lower end of the vertical frame 4, and the upper support plate 6 is inclinedly mounted on the upper part of the vertical frame 4. The upper support plate 6 has a slot to avoid the gripping arm 3. The inclined guide groove 7 is installed... At the lower edge of the upper support plate 6; the gripping arm 3 includes an arm tube 8, a sleeve 9 and multiple spring plates 10. The inner end of the arm tube 8 is connected to the side wall of the mounting base 2. The sleeve 9 is fitted onto the outer end of the arm tube 8. The side wall of the sleeve 9 is provided with multiple storage slots. Multiple spring plates 10 are provided. The outer ends of the multiple spring plates 10 are respectively connected to the inner walls of the outer ends of the multiple storage slots of the sleeve 9. The upper ends of the multiple spring plates 10 all extend out of the outside of the sleeve 9. It also includes a push cylinder 18. The fixed end of the push cylinder 18 is mounted on the frame. The piston rod of the push cylinder 18 is connected to the vertical frame 4.

[0024] During operation, the welding wire spool is horizontally conveyed to the lower support plate 5. The rotating motor 1 drives the mounting base 2 to rotate, causing the arm tube 8 to move the sleeve 9 vertically downwards and align it with the center insertion hole of the welding wire spool. The piston rod of the push cylinder 18 extends, pushing the vertical frame 4 to raise the lower support plate 5, the upper support plate 6, and the pressure plate 19. The lower support plate 5 raises the welding wire spool, allowing the sleeve 9 to be inserted into the insertion hole of the welding wire spool. The upper ends of the multiple spring plates 10 press against the inner wall of the insertion hole of the welding wire spool, thereby gripping the welding wire spool. The rotating motor 1... The output shaft drives the mounting base 2 to rotate 1-80 degrees, causing the arm tube 8 and sleeve 9 to carry the welding wire spool to the top of the upper support plate 6. The slot of the upper support plate 6 avoids the gripping arm 3. The vertical frame 4 drives the upper support plate 6 to rise, so that the upper support plate 6 lifts the welding wire spool and separates it from the gripping arm 3. The welding wire spool slides along the inclined upper support plate 6 into the inclined guide groove 7 and stands upright. The welding wire spool rolls along the inclined guide groove 7 to the next station, realizing automatic upward conveying and flipping of the welding wire spool, which is very practical. Example 2

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, based on Embodiment 1, it further includes a cone block 11 and a top block 12. The middle portions of multiple spring plates 10 each have trapezoidal protrusions extending inwards. The inner end of the cone block 11 is slidably inserted into the lower port of the sleeve 9. The inner edge of the cone block 11 is provided with an inclined surface that matches the protrusion of the spring plate 10. The top block 12 is installed on the outer end of the cone block 11, and the top block 12 is located outside the sleeve 9. It also includes a slot 17, which is provided on the middle sidewall of the cone block 11 and matches the inner edge of the protrusion of the multiple spring plates 10. It also includes a push rod 13 and a top rod. 14 and pressure plate 19, push rod 13 is installed on the inner end of cone block 11, push rod 14 is installed in arm tube 8, push rod 13 is aligned with push rod 14, pressure plate 19 is installed on the upper end of vertical frame 4, pressure plate 19 is located above upper support plate 6, pressure plate 19 is provided with a second groove to avoid sleeve 9; also includes annular support plate 16, annular support plate 16 is installed on the outer wall of inner end of sleeve 9; also includes spring 15, sleeve 9 is slidably fitted on arm tube 8, spring 15 is fitted on arm tube 8, inner end of spring 15 is connected to arm tube 8, outer end of spring 15 is connected to sleeve 9.

[0026] When the lower support plate 5 lifts the welding wire spool to a higher position, allowing the sleeve 9 to be inserted into the middle insertion hole of the welding wire spool, the lower support plate 5 contacts the top block 12 and pushes the cone block 11 upward, causing the inclined surface of the cone block 11 to slide into contact with the lower edge of the protrusions of the multiple spring plates 10, thereby pushing the multiple spring plates 10 outward, increasing the pressure of the multiple spring plates 10 on the welding wire spool. When the cone block 11 pushes the multiple protrusions outward and pushes the multiple spring plates 10 into place, the inner edge of the protrusions of the multiple spring plates 10 is engaged in the multiple slots 17 of the cone block 11, thereby elastically positioning the multiple spring plates 10 and the cone block 11 together, improving reliability; when the arm tube 8 and the sleeve 9 drive the welding wire spool to flip upward and transport the welding wire spool above the upper support plate 6, the piston rod of the push cylinder 18 retracts, causing the vertical frame 4 to drive the lower support plate 5 and the upper support plate 6 to move upward. The support plate 6 and pressure plate 19 are lowered, causing the pressure plate 19 to push the welding wire spool downwards. The welding wire spool is supported by the annular support plate 16, which in turn causes the annular support plate 16 to slide the sleeve 9 downwards. Since the push rod 14 is fixed, the sleeve 9 drives the push rod 13 to descend, causing the push rod 14 to push the push rod 13 towards the outer end of the sleeve 9. The push rod 13 drives the cone block 11 and the top block 12 to reset outwards, causing the cone block 11 to disengage from the protrusions of the multiple spring plates 10, causing the multiple spring plates 10 to retract into the sleeve 9, thereby releasing the welding wire spool and facilitating its disengagement from the sleeve 9. The vertical frame 4 drives the pressure plate 19 and the upper support plate 6 to rise. After the pressure plate 19 disengages from the welding wire spool, the elastic force of the spring 15 resets the sleeve 9, causing the push rod 14 to disengage from the push rod 13, preparing for the next upward conveying and flipping of the welding wire spool.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this utility model discloses a welding wire coil turning machine. During operation, the welding wire coil is first horizontally conveyed to the lower support plate 5. The turning motor 1 drives the mounting base 2 to rotate, causing the arm tube 8 and sleeve 9 to move vertically downwards and align with the center insertion hole of the welding wire coil. Then, the push cylinder 18 drives the vertical frame 4 to rise, raising the welding wire coil via the lower support plate 5, allowing the outer end of the sleeve 9 to be inserted into the insertion hole of the welding wire coil. The lower support plate 5 contacts the top block 12 and pushes the cone block 11 upwards, causing the inclined surface of the cone block 11 to slide against the lower edge of the protrusions of multiple spring plates 10. The inner edges of the protrusions of the multiple spring plates 10 are engaged in the multiple slots 17 of the cone block 11, thereby elastically positioning the multiple spring plates 10 and the cone block 11, pushing the multiple spring plates 10 outwards to grip the welding wire coil. Then, the output shaft of the turning motor 1... The drive mounting base 2 rotates 1-80 degrees, causing the arm tube 8 and sleeve 9 to carry the welding wire spool to the top of the upper support plate 6. The slot of the upper support plate 6 avoids the gripping arm 3. The vertical frame 4 drives the pressure plate 19 to descend, causing the pressure plate 19 to push the welding wire spool downward through the annular support plate 16. This causes the push rod 14 to push the push rod 13 towards the outer end of the sleeve 9. The push rod 13 drives the cone block 11 and the top block 12 to reset outward, causing the cone block 11 to disengage from the protrusions of the multiple spring plates 10. This causes the multiple spring plates 10 to retract into the sleeve 9, thereby releasing the welding wire spool. Finally, the push cylinder 18 drives the vertical frame 4 to raise the upper support plate 6, causing the upper support plate 6 to lift the welding wire spool and disengage it from the sleeve 9. This allows the welding wire spool to slide along the inclined upper support plate 6 into the inclined guide groove 7 and stand upright. The welding wire spool can then be rolled along the inclined guide groove 7 to the next station.

[0028] The main functions achieved by this utility model are:

[0029] 1. It can automatically feed and flip the welding wire spool upwards, making it highly practical;

[0030] 2. The gripping stability of the welding wire reel is improved by pushing multiple spring plates 10 outward;

[0031] 3. Multiple spring plates 10 and cone blocks 11 are elastically positioned to improve the reliability of gripping the welding wire spool.

[0032] The welding wire coil turning machine of this utility model has common mechanical installation, connection or setting methods, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve the beneficial effect. The turning motor 1, mounting base 2, gripping arm 3, inclined guide groove 7, arm tube 8, sleeve 9, spring plate 10, push rod 13, top rod 14, spring 15 and push cylinder 18 of the welding wire coil turning machine of this utility model are purchased from the market.
