Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gabion mesh processing, and in particular to a folding device for gabion mesh processing. Background Technology
[0002] Gabion mesh is usually made of high-strength steel wire that is twisted and woven into a mesh, then unfolded into a sheet, folded and cut according to engineering needs, and finally formed into a wire mesh box or mattress of a specific size and shape by sewing or welding.
[0003] Traditional folding methods rely primarily on manual operation, where workers manually fold the mesh panels. However, this method presents several problems. For instance, gabion mesh is typically woven from thick steel wire, giving it a certain rigidity. Gabion mesh panels are usually large and heavy, with hard and sharp metal wires at their edges. When folding, workers often need to exert force to move and bend these panels. Repeatedly performing such high-intensity and difficult actions can easily cause injury to the operators. Furthermore, the sharp metal wires at the edges of the gabion mesh can easily cut, slash, or even puncture the operators' hands or other body parts during folding and tidying, posing significant safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a folding device for processing gabion mesh, comprising a folding device body, a motor fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of the folding device body, the drive end of the motor penetrating the inner wall of the folding device body and fixedly connected to a rotating column, a rotating assembly provided on the outer wall of the rotating column, the rotating column being connected to a rotating plate through the rotating assembly, a bottom block rotatably connected to the top of the rotating plate, a cover plate fixedly connected to the top of the bottom block, a connecting column fixedly connected to the right end of the cover plate, and another connecting column corresponding to the right end of the connecting column, the two connecting columns being used to rotate the cover plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a gear fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, a first toothed plate meshing with the bottom end of the outer wall of the gear, a slider fixedly connected to the left end of the first toothed plate, a second toothed plate meshing with the top end of the outer wall of the gear, and another slider fixedly connected to the right end of the second toothed plate.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a folding device for processing gabion mesh, comprising a folding device body 1. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of the folding device body 1. The drive end of the motor 2 penetrates the inner wall of the folding device body 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating column 13. A rotating assembly is provided on the outer wall of the rotating column 13. The rotating column 13 is connected to a rotating plate 4 through the rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a gear 14 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 13. A first toothed plate 15 is meshed with the bottom end of the outer wall of the gear 14. A slider 3 is fixedly connected to the left end of the first toothed plate 15. A second toothed plate 16 is meshed with the top end of the outer wall of the gear 14. Another slider 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the second toothed plate 16. The outer walls of the two sliders 3 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the folding device body 1. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sliders 3. 10. A rotating plate 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 10. A bottom block 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating plate 4. A cover plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom block 5. A connecting column 12 is fixedly connected to the right end of the cover plate 6. Another connecting column 12 is correspondingly connected to the right end of the connecting column 12. A fixed frame 11 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 12. Another connecting column 12 is rotatably connected to the right end of the inner wall of the fixed frame 11. The two connecting columns 12 are used to rotate the cover plate 6. The outer wall of the cover plate 6 is connected to the other cover plate 6 through the fixed frame 11. The two cover plates 6 are used together to fold the gabion mesh. A pressure box 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover plate 6. A threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pressure box 7. A pressure plate 8 is meshed with the outer wall of the threaded rod 9. The outer wall of the pressure plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the pressure box 7. The pressure plate 8 is used to compress and fix the gabion mesh.
[0021] Specifically, preparations need to be made according to the actual thickness of the gabion mesh. Rotating the threaded rod 9 causes the pressure plate 8 to rise and fall smoothly inside the pressure box 7, ensuring a firm grip on the gabion mesh. Once the pressure plate 8 has stably clamped the gabion mesh, the operator starts the motor 2. The motor 2 begins to run, transmitting power to the rotating column 13, causing it to rotate smoothly. The gear 14 fixed on the rotating column 13 also rotates accordingly. The gear 14 precisely meshes with the first toothed plate 15 and the second toothed plate 16, forcing them to move towards each other along their respective tracks. As the first toothed plate 15 and the second toothed plate 16 move, they push the two sliders 3 to slide on the inner wall of the folding device body 1. The opposing movement of the sliders 3 is directly converted into the adjustment of the angle of the rotating plate 4. The change in the angle of the rotating plate 4 is transmitted to the cover plate 6 through the bottom block 5. At this moment, the cover plate 6 is driven by the rotating plate 4 and rotates through the connecting column 12. Finally, the two cover plates 6 complete their opening and closing actions, accurately folding the gabion mesh sandwiched in the middle to form a more compact unit, which facilitates subsequent transportation and installation. The whole process is smooth and efficient.
[0022] Working principle: By rotating the threaded rod 9, the threaded rod 9 drives the pressure plate 8 to adjust its position in the pressure box 7 to accommodate gabion mesh of different thicknesses. After the pressure plates 8 on both sides squeeze and clamp the gabion mesh, the motor 2 is started to drive the rotating column 13 to rotate. The gear 14 on the rotating column 13 rotates accordingly. The rotation of the gear 14 causes the first toothed plate 15 and the second toothed plate 16 to move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby pushing the two sliders 3 to slide towards each other on the inner wall of the folding device body 1. The movement of the sliders 3 drives the rotating plate 4 to adjust its angle. The rotating plate 4 transmits the motion to the cover plate 6 through the bottom block 5, so that the cover plate 6 rotates on the fixed frame 11 through the connecting column 12, so that the two cover plates 6, carrying the gabion mesh, realize the opening and closing action and fold the gabion mesh on the two cover plates 6.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
