Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reel material supply technology, and in particular to a reel material supply device with a reel core recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of the reel material supply equipment, when the strip material in the reel material supply equipment is exhausted, the core used to wind the strip material to form the reel material will remain on the reel material supply equipment. Therefore, timely recycling of the core is an essential process step. In the existing technology, the core is generally removed from the unwinding assembly manually for recycling, or the core is transferred to the recycling rod for recycling using a core recycling rod. However, the recycling capacity of the core recycling rod is low, and it still requires frequent manual emptying of the core recycling rod, resulting in low recycling efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a reel material supply equipment with a reel core recycling device, which can improve the reel core recycling efficiency of the reel material supply equipment.

[0004] This utility model embodiment provides a reel material supply device with a reel core recovery device, comprising: a device body, wherein the device body is provided with an unwinding assembly for mounting reel material, the reel material including a reel core and a strip material wound on the reel core; a reel core recovery device for recovering the reel core of the reel material after the strip material on the unwinding assembly is exhausted; wherein the reel core recovery device includes: a reel core ejection mechanism, which is disposed near the unwinding assembly to push the reel core away from the unwinding assembly; a reel core transfer mechanism, which receives the reel core detached from the unwinding assembly and transfers the reel core to a reel core recovery channel; a proximity sensor is disposed on the reel core transfer mechanism and electrically connected to the reel core transfer mechanism; the reel core recovery channel is vertically arranged for guiding reels falling from the reel core transfer mechanism into a reel core recovery box; the reel core recovery box is disposed at the bottom of the reel core recovery channel and receives reels falling from the reel core recovery channel.

[0006] Optionally, the disk core transfer mechanism includes: a swing arm, one end of which is provided with a receiving basket for receiving the disk core; a swing arm drive unit, which is tractively connected to the swing arm and is used to drive the swing arm to swing between a first working position and a second working position; wherein, when the swing arm is in the first working position, the receiving basket receives the disk core; when the swing arm is in the second working position, the disk core falls from the receiving basket and enters the disk core recycling channel.

[0007] Optionally, the receiving basket has a large opening and a small bottom, and the opening size of the receiving basket is configured such that the minimum dimension in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly is greater than the radius of the core, and the minimum dimension in the direction parallel to the axis of the unwinding assembly is greater than the length of the core; the bottom size of the receiving basket is configured such that the maximum dimension in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly is less than the diameter of the core, and the minimum dimension in the direction parallel to the axis of the unwinding assembly is greater than the length of the core.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a reel material supply device 100 with a reel core recycling device, comprising: a device body 1, wherein the device body 1 is provided with an unwinding assembly 11 for mounting reel material 3, the reel material 3 comprising a reel core 31 and a strip material 32 wound on the reel core 31; and a reel core recycling device 2, wherein the reel core recycling device 2 is used to recycle the reel core 31 of the reel material 3 after the strip material 32 on the unwinding assembly 11 is exhausted, wherein the reel core recycling device 2 comprises: a reel core ejection mechanism 21, the reel core ejection mechanism 21 being disposed close to the unwinding assembly 11 to eject the reel core 31 from the unwinding assembly 11. The coil core 31 is pushed away from the unwinding assembly 11; the coil core transfer mechanism 22 receives the coil core 31 that has detached from the unwinding assembly 11 and transfers the coil core 31 to the coil core recycling channel 23; the coil core transfer mechanism is provided with a proximity sensor (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the coil core transfer mechanism; the coil core recycling channel 23 is vertically arranged to guide the coil core 31 that falls from the coil core transfer mechanism 22 into the coil core recycling box 24; the coil core recycling box 24 is located at the bottom of the coil core recycling channel 23 and receives the coil core 31 that falls from the coil core recycling channel 23.

[0036] In this embodiment, the equipment body 1 is provided with an unwinding assembly 11 for mounting the reel material 3, and during operation, when the reel material 3 is pulled out of the strip material 32, it ensures that the reel material 3 does not fall off the unwinding assembly 11; the core ejection mechanism 21 is located close to the unwinding assembly 11. When the strip material 32 on the reel material 3 is exhausted, there is still a core 31 remaining on the unwinding assembly 11. The core ejection mechanism 21 pushes the remaining core 31 off the unwinding assembly 11 so that new reel material 3 can be installed on the unwinding assembly 11 for normal operation; after the core ejection mechanism 21 pushes the core 31 off the unwinding assembly 11, in order to prevent the core 31 from falling randomly in the reel material supply equipment 100 and affecting the normal operation of the reel material supply equipment 100, the core transfer mechanism 22 in the core recycling device 2 is used to receive the core 31 that has detached from the unwinding assembly 11 and transfer the core 31 to the core recycling channel 23; a proximity sensor is installed on the core transfer mechanism. The position of the reel transfer mechanism 22 in receiving the reel 31 and transferring the reel 31 to the reel recycling channel 23 does not affect the position of the reel transfer mechanism 22. When the proximity sensor detects that a reel 31 has detached from the unwinding assembly 11 and entered the reel transfer mechanism 22, the proximity sensor sends an electrical signal to the reel transfer mechanism 22, causing the reel transfer mechanism 22 to start transferring the received reel 31 to the reel recycling channel 23. The reel recycling channel 23 is vertically arranged, which facilitates the direct introduction of the reel 31 into the reel recycling box 24 under the action of gravity. The reel recycling box 24 is located at the bottom of the reel recycling channel 23 to facilitate the temporary storage of the reel 31 received from the reel recycling channel 23. It eliminates the need for manual recycling of the reel 31 on the unwinding assembly 11. At the same time, more reel 31 can be temporarily stored in the reel recycling box 24, eliminating the need for frequent manual processing of the reel 31 in the reel recycling box 24. This improves the reel 31 recycling efficiency of the reel material supply equipment 100.

[0037] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the core ejection mechanism 21 includes: a push plate 211, which is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11; and a push plate driving unit 212, which is fixedly connected to the push plate 211 and is used to drive the push plate 211 to move along a direction parallel to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11, thereby pushing the core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11.

[0038] In this embodiment, the pusher plate 211 can slide relative to the unwinding assembly 11 to push the coil core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11; the pusher plate 211 is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 to facilitate pushing the coil core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11; the pusher plate drive unit 212 is fixedly connected to the pusher plate 211, drives the pusher plate 211 to move along the axis parallel to the unwinding assembly 11 to push the coil core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11, and then the pusher plate drive unit 212 drives the pusher plate 211 to retract to the initial position, so as to facilitate the installation of new coil material 3 on the unwinding assembly 11 for subsequent working processes.

[0039] In some embodiments, the pusher drive unit 212 can be pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, or pneumatic-hydraulic driven; the pusher drive unit 212 uses a position sensor mounted on the pusher 211 to monitor the position change of the pusher 211 in real time to accurately control the distance pushed out by the pusher 211, or uses a limiting mechanism to automatically stop moving when the pusher 211 reaches the limited position and start to retract to the initial position under the drive of the pusher drive unit 212, so as to ensure that the pusher 211 pushes the core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11.

[0040] See Figure 4 In some embodiments, the disk core transfer mechanism 22 includes: a swing arm 221, one end of which is provided with a receiving basket 222 for receiving the disk core 31; a swing arm drive unit, which is tractively connected to the swing arm 221 and is used to drive the swing arm 221 to swing between a first working position and a second working position; wherein, when the swing arm 221 is in the first working position, the receiving basket 222 receives the disk core 31; when the swing arm 221 is in the second working position, the disk core 31 falls off the receiving basket 222 and enters the disk core recycling channel 23.

[0041] In this embodiment, the swing arm 221 can rotate relative to the equipment body 1 of the reel material supply device 100, and swings cyclically between the first working position and the second working position. Its swinging motion is driven by the swing arm drive unit. A receiving basket 222 for receiving the reel core 31 is provided at the end of the swing arm 221 away from the rotation center. When the swing arm 221 is in the first working position, the receiving basket 222 is close to the unwinding assembly 11 and is used to receive the reel core 31 falling from the unwinding assembly 11. When the swing arm 221 moves to the second working position under the drive of the swing arm drive unit, the reel core 31 falls from the receiving basket 222 under the action of gravity and enters the reel core recycling channel 23. (See also...) Figure 2 When the unwinding assembly 11 has a complete roll of material 3 and the roll of material 3 is not exhausted, the swing arm 221 is in the second working position to avoid the impact on other processes when the swing arm 221 is in the first working position; see Figure 3When the pusher plate 211 pushes the core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11, the swing arm 221 is in the first working position so that the receiving basket 222 receives the core 31 that falls from the unwinding assembly 11; the proximity sensor is provided on the carrier frame 222 and is electrically connected to the swing arm drive unit. When the proximity sensor detects that the core 31 has fallen into the carrier frame 222 of the core transfer mechanism 22, the proximity sensor sends an electrical signal to the swing arm drive unit of the core transfer mechanism 22, so that the swing arm drive unit drives the swing arm 221 to move to the second working position and transfer the core 31 to the core recovery channel 23.

[0042] In some embodiments, the proximity sensor is disposed on the edge or sidewall of the receiving frame 222. Preferably, the proximity sensor is disposed on the edge or sidewall of the receiving frame 222 away from the rotation center to prevent the disk core 31 from colliding with the proximity sensor when the disk core transfer mechanism 22 receives the disk core 31 and / or the disk core 31 falls from the receiving frame 222 into the disk core recycling channel 23 under the action of gravity, thereby causing the disk core 31 to shift position and fall off the disk core 31 from the disk core transfer mechanism 22. Where it is possible to avoid the disk core 31 colliding with the proximity sensor, the proximity sensor may also be disposed on the edge or sidewall of other sides of the receiving frame 222 or at the bottom of the receiving frame 222 to detect whether the disk core 31 has fallen into the receiving frame 222.

[0043] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, the receiving basket 222 has a large opening and a small bottom, and the opening size of the receiving basket 222 is configured such that the minimum dimension in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 is greater than the radius of the core 31, and the minimum dimension in the direction parallel to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 is greater than the length of the core 31; the bottom size of the receiving basket 222 is configured such that the maximum dimension in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 is less than the diameter of the core 31, and the minimum dimension in the direction parallel to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 is greater than the length of the core 31.

[0044] In this embodiment, the receiving basket 222 has a large opening and a small bottom to receive the coil core 31. The minimum dimension of the opening of the receiving basket 222 in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 is greater than the radius of the coil core 31, and the maximum dimension of the bottom of the receiving basket 222 in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 is less than the diameter of the coil core 31. The minimum dimensions of the opening and bottom of the receiving basket 222 in the direction parallel to the axis of the unwinding assembly 11 are both greater than the length of the coil core 31. This is to reduce the positioning accuracy of receiving the coil core 31 through the receiving basket 222. When the swing arm 221 is in the second working position, the coil core 31 can fall smoothly from the receiving basket 222 without affecting the normal operation of the coil material supply equipment 100. At the same time, it limits the range of movement of the coil core 31 in the coil core transfer mechanism 22, which can prevent the detached coil core 31 from rolling in the receiving basket 222.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the swing arm 221 is in the second working position, the opening of the receiving basket 222 corresponds to the entrance 234 of the core recycling channel, and the length of the vertical line segment from the center of gravity of the core 31 to the edge of the opening of the receiving basket 222 is within a preset range.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the swing arm 221 is in the second working position, the opening of the receiving basket 222 corresponds to the channel inlet 234, so that the disc core 31 falls from the opening of the receiving basket 222 into the disc core recycling channel 23; see Figure 4 or Figure 5 When the swing arm 221 is in the first working position, the center of gravity of the disc 31 is located near the opening edge of the receiving basket 222. The preset range is generally greater than or equal to 0 and less than the radius of the disc 31. The specific range is to prevent the disc 31 from entering the receiving basket 222 too deeply. When the swing arm 221 is in the first working position, it prevents the disc 31 from falling out of the receiving basket 222 when it is received. When the swing arm 221 is in the second working position, it prevents the disc 31 from having difficulty falling out of the receiving basket 222 or from taking too long to fall out of the receiving basket 222, thus affecting the normal operation process. The length of the specific vertical line segment is determined by debugging, thereby determining the relationship between the center of gravity of the disc 31 and the receiving basket 222; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 When the swing arm 221 moves to the second working position, the disc core 31 can fall from the receiving basket 222 into the recycling channel 23 under the guidance of the side wall of the receiving basket 222.

[0047] In some embodiments, the core recycling channel 23 includes a vertical pipe section 231; the top opening of the core recycling box 24 corresponds to the outlet of the vertical pipe section 231; the inlet of the vertical pipe section 231 corresponds to the receiving basket 222 in the second working position, and the outlet of the vertical pipe section 231 is directly below the vertical pipe section 231; when the core 31 enters the core recycling channel 23 from the channel inlet 234, it falls freely under the action of gravity and falls directly from the outlet of the vertical pipe section 231 into the core recycling box 24, while ensuring that the inner wall of the vertical pipe section 231 is smooth and there are no protruding connecting screws or other structures that can jam the core 31 and the remaining strip material 32 on the core 31, so as to avoid the core 31 or the core 31 with some strip material 32 rolling and / or getting tangled in the core recycling channel 23, causing blockage in the core recycling channel 23.

[0048] When the core recovery box 24 cannot be directly positioned below the vertical pipe section 231 and corresponding to its outlet, in some embodiments, the core recovery channel 23 may include a vertical pipe section 231 and an inclined pipe section 232 connected to the vertical pipe section 231; wherein the inclined pipe section 232 is positioned below the vertical pipe section 231, and the top opening of the core recovery box 24 corresponds to the outlet 233 of the inclined pipe section; the core recovery channel 23 includes a vertical pipe section 231 and an inclined pipe section 232 connected to the vertical pipe section 231, the vertical... The straight pipe section 231 facilitates the free fall of the disc core 31 under the action of gravity when it enters the disc core recovery channel 23 from the channel inlet 234. When the disc core 31 reaches the inclined pipe section 232, the disc core 31 slides or bounces to the inclined pipe section outlet 233 under the combined action of the guidance of the inclined pipe section 232 and the falling speed reached by the free fall of the disc core 31, and then enters the disc core recovery box 24, instead of entering the disc core recovery box 24 by rolling. The top opening of the disc core recovery box 24 corresponds to the inclined pipe section outlet 233, which facilitates the accurate entry of the disc core 31 into the disc core recovery box 24.

[0049] In some embodiments, since there may be residual strip material 32 on the disc core 31, if the disc core 31 collides within the disc core recycling channel 23, causing the residual strip material 32 on the disc core 31 to scatter or be pulled out, it may cause blockage within the disc core recycling channel 23. To ensure that the disc core 31 falls freely within the disc core recycling channel 23 and / or to reduce collisions, the minimum internal dimensions of the vertical tube section 231 and the inclined tube section 232 are greater than the maximum dimensions of the disc core 31; the vertical tube section 231 and the inclined tube section 232 The minimum size of the inner cavity is greater than the maximum size of the disc core 31. At the same time, it ensures that the inner walls of the vertical tube section 231 and the inclined tube section 232 are smooth and there are no protruding connecting screws or other structures that can jam the disc core 31 and the remaining strip material 32 on the disc core 31. This allows the disc core 31 to fall freely in the disc core recycling channel 23, avoiding friction and collision within the recycling channel. This prevents the disc core 31 from changing its posture and making it difficult to enter the disc core recycling box 24 under the guidance of the inclined tube section 232.

[0050] In some embodiments, while ensuring that the disc core 31 does not roll within the disc core recycling channel 23, the position of the disc core recycling box 24 is set according to the site environment. When the inclined pipe section outlet 233 of the disc core recycling channel 23 cannot directly guide the disc core 31 into the disc core recycling box 24, an additional disc core recycling channel can be connected at the inclined pipe section outlet 233 of the disc core recycling channel 23. The inlet of this disc core recycling channel is smoothly connected to the outlet of the vertical pipe section 231 or the outlet of the inclined pipe section 233 to avoid the disc core 23 getting stuck at the connection. The disc core recycling box 24 is set at the outlet of this disc core recycling channel so that the inlet of the disc core recycling box 24 corresponds to the outlet of this disc core recycling channel to facilitate the reception and temporary storage of the disc core 31, while ensuring that the disc core 31 moves freely or slides within this disc core recycling channel without rolling.

[0051] In some embodiments, the core recovery channel 23 includes a first recovery channel and an indefinite number of second recovery channels. The first recovery channel includes an inlet, a vertical pipe section, and an outlet of the vertical pipe section; or the first recovery channel includes an inlet, a vertical pipe section, an inclined pipe section, and an outlet of the inclined pipe section, and the second recovery channel includes an inlet, a vertical pipe section, an inclined pipe section, and an outlet of the inclined pipe section. The first recovery channel is located below, and an indefinite number of second recovery channels are sequentially arranged above to form the core recovery channel 23. The inlet of the core recovery box 24 is smoothly connected to the outlet of the vertical pipe section of the first recovery channel, or the inlet of the core recovery box 24 is smoothly connected to the outlet of the inclined pipe section of the first recovery channel. The vertical pipe sections and inclined pipe sections of the first and second recovery channels are smoothly connected, or the vertical pipe sections and inclined pipe sections of the second recovery channel are smoothly connected. The vertical pipe sections of both the first and second recovery channels maintain... Vertically positioned; after the disc core 31 enters the vertical section of the second recycling channel through the entrance of the second recycling channel, the disc core 31 falls freely under the action of gravity; when the disc core 31 reaches the inclined section of the second recycling channel, under the combined action of the guidance of the inclined section of the second recycling channel and the falling speed achieved by the free fall of the disc core, it slides through the inclined section of the second recycling channel to the entrance of the next second recycling channel, or slides through the inclined section of the second recycling channel to the entrance of the first recycling channel; then the disc core 31 continues to fall freely into the disc core recycling box 24 in the vertical section of the first recycling channel, or the disc core 31 falls freely under the action of gravity to the inclined section of the first recycling channel, and under the combined action of the guidance of the inclined section of the first recycling channel and the falling speed achieved by the free fall of the disc core, slides through the inclined section of the first recycling channel to the disc core recycling box 24.

[0052] When a reel runs out of material and can no longer produce strip material for subsequent processes, some strip material may remain on the reel core. If the reel core rolls during transfer to the reel core recycling bin, the remaining strip material may be pulled out or scattered, further causing blockages in the path and / or channel for transferring the reel core to the recycling bin. In existing technologies, reel cores are recycled using guide plates. However, during the process of a reel core with some strip material rolling on the guide plate to the recycling bin, the strip material may be pulled out and become entangled on the guide plate, preventing subsequent reel cores from being transferred from the guide plate to the recycling bin. This utility model... The novel embodiment utilizes the receiving basket 222 of the core transfer mechanism 22 to receive the core 31 detached from the unwinding assembly 11. This not only limits the entanglement caused by the rolling of the core 31 in the core transfer mechanism 22, but also reduces the collision and rolling of the core 31 with some strip material 32 in the recycling channel by vertically setting the core recycling channel 23. This also avoids the core recycling channel 23 from getting blocked, eliminating the need for frequent manual handling of blockages in the core recycling channel, reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the core recycling channel 23 is not blocked, allowing the core to be smoothly transferred to the core recycling box 24, improving recycling efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, a counting module and an alarm module are provided at the inlet of the core recycling channel 23, the outlet of the core recycling channel 23, or the inlet of the core recycling box 24. The counting module and the alarm module are electrically connected. The counting module is set to a target count according to the capacity of the core recycling box 24. When the counting module reaches the target count, it sends an electrical signal to the alarm module to trigger an alarm prompt, reminding the core recycling box 24 to be cleaned or replaced. When the alarm module receives the electrical signal from the counting module, it can provide an alarm prompt through audible and visual alarms and / or corresponding voice prompts.

[0054] In some embodiments, the counting mode of the counting module can be that the target count is set to a value greater than 0, the counting module increments the count starting from 0, and each time the counting module detects the disk core 31, the count of the counting module increases by 1. When the count of the counting module reaches the target count, it starts to send an electrical signal to the alarm module. Alternatively, the counting module can decrement the count starting from the target count, and each time the counting module detects the disk core 31, the count of the counting module decreases by 1. When the count of the counting module reaches 0, it starts to send an electrical signal to the alarm module.

[0055] In some embodiments, a timer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the core ejection mechanism 21. The timer is electrically connected to the core ejection mechanism 21 and the core transfer mechanism 22. The timer is installed on the core ejection mechanism 21 without affecting the position of the push plate 211 and the push plate drive unit 212. The timer is electrically connected to the push plate drive unit 212 and to the swing arm drive unit of the core transfer mechanism 22. When the push plate drive unit 212 starts to push the core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11, it sends an electrical signal to the timer, and the timer starts timing. When the timer reaches a preset time (for example, the preset time is set to 1~10 seconds), the timer sends an electrical signal to the swing arm drive unit of the core transfer mechanism 22, so that the swing arm drive unit drives the swing arm 221 to move to the second working position and transfer the core 31 to the core recovery channel 23.

[0056] In some embodiments, an electrical signal may be sent to the timer when the pusher drive unit 212 pushes the core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11 or when the pusher drive unit 212 drives the pusher plate 211 to retract to the initial position, and the timer starts timing. It is understood that the preset time required for the pusher drive unit 212 to send an electrical signal to the timer at different times is also different. For example, when the pusher drive unit 212 pushes the core 31 away from the unwinding assembly 11 and sends an electrical signal to the timer, the preset time can be set to 1 to 5 seconds; when the pusher drive unit 212 drives the pusher plate 211 to retract to the initial position and sends an electrical signal to the timer, the preset time can be set to 1 to 3 seconds.

[0057] See Figure 6 In some embodiments, the reel material supply device 100 further includes a circulating alternation assembly 12, which includes: a first unwinding assembly 121, a second unwinding assembly 122, a disk 123, and a rotary drive unit (not shown in the figure); the first unwinding assembly 121 and the second unwinding assembly 122 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the disk 123; a first reel material 124 is mounted on the first unwinding assembly 121, and a second reel material 125 is mounted on the second unwinding assembly 122; the rotary drive unit drives the disk 123 and the first unwinding assembly mounted on the disk 123. The first reel material 124 on the first unwinding assembly 121 and the second unwinding assembly 122, as well as the second reel material 125 on the second unwinding assembly 122, rotate synchronously relative to the equipment body 1. When the first reel material 124 on the first unwinding assembly 121 exhausts its strip material at the workstation, the first unwinding assembly 121 will have the core of the first reel material 124 remaining. At this time, the rotary drive assembly drives the disc 123 to rotate, causing the second reel material 125 on the second unwinding assembly 122 to rotate to the workstation. Simultaneously, the remaining core of the first reel material 124 rotates to the workstation. Figure 4The position shown by the core 31 in the middle reel allows the remaining core of the first reel material 124 to be pushed out by the core ejection mechanism 21 and fall into the receiving basket 222 of the core transfer mechanism 22, further facilitating the subsequent recycling of the remaining core of the first reel material 124.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the number of unwinding components on the alternating assembly 12 is greater than or equal to three, the unwinding components are evenly distributed on the disk 123; when the reel material on one of the unwinding components is exhausted and the remaining core 31 is depleted, the disk 123 is driven to rotate, causing new reel material on at least one unwinding component to rotate to the workstation, while simultaneously causing the core 31 to rotate to the position as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The position shown for the disc core 31 allows the disc core 31 to be pushed out by the disc core ejection mechanism 21 and fall into the receiving basket 222 of the disc core transfer mechanism 22, further facilitating the subsequent recycling of the disc core 31.

[0059] Example 2:

[0060] See Figure 7 This utility model provides a method for recycling the core of a reel material supply device. The method is used in the reel material supply device described in Embodiment 1, and the method includes:

[0061] S100, Push the reel away from the unwinding assembly;

[0062] S101. Receive the reel core that has detached from the unwinding assembly and transfer the reel core to the reel core recycling channel;

[0063] S102, the disk core falls from the disk core recycling channel into the disk core recycling box.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the material on the unwinding assembly is exhausted, the remaining coil cores on the unwinding assembly need to be pushed off the unwinding assembly before new material can be installed on the unwinding assembly for subsequent processes. The unwinding assembly receives the coil cores that have detached from the unwinding assembly and transfers them to the coil core recycling channel. During the transfer to the coil core recycling channel, the coil cores are restricted from rolling in the coil core transfer mechanism. The coil cores fall from the coil core recycling channel and / or slide into the coil core recycling box for batch recycling, thereby improving the coil core recycling efficiency.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the unwinding assembly is not a fixed-position unwinding assembly relative to the reel material supply equipment, before pushing the reel core away from the unwinding assembly, the unwinding assembly with the depleted reel material is first positioned by rotation or movement to a position that can be pushed out by the reel core ejection mechanism, for example... Figure 4 The position of the reel is shown, and then the reel is pushed out of the unwinding assembly.

[0066] In some embodiments, the core ejection mechanism pushes the core away from the unwinding assembly, and after pushing the core away from the unwinding assembly, the push plate of the core ejection mechanism retracts to the initial position to facilitate the unwinding assembly to mount new reel material; during the process of the core falling and / or sliding from the core recovery channel into the core recovery box, the collision between the core and the wall of the core recovery channel is minimized and the core is guided by a guide structure to slide rather than roll in the core recovery channel before entering the core recovery box.

[0067] In some embodiments, before the core is pushed away from the unwinding assembly, the core transfer mechanism is positioned in a first working position to accurately receive the core detached from the unwinding assembly, preventing the core from rolling within the core transfer mechanism; then the core transfer mechanism is rotated to a second working position, causing the core to fall from the core transfer mechanism into the core recovery channel.
