Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire spool handling technology, and in particular to a wire spool unloading and stacking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A straight twisting machine twists multiple fine yarns into a ply and then winds it onto a yarn bobbin. The finished yarn bobbin flows out of the machine. In existing technology, a robotic arm typically unloads the yarn bobbins from individual straight twisting machines. Because the production time of a straight twisting machine is long, the robotic arm needs to wait while unloading. This unloading method is not only time-consuming but also inefficient, failing to meet users' demands for high-efficiency unloading. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a wire spool feeding and stacking mechanism, which not only greatly improves feeding efficiency, but also saves feeding time.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a yarn bobbin feeding and stacking mechanism, including a stacking assembly and several straight twisting machines. Each of the several straight twisting machines is provided with a receiving assembly for receiving yarn bobbins on the straight twisting machines. Several material support assemblies are provided between the stacking assembly and the several straight twisting machines. The material support assembly includes a first material support plate for supporting multiple perforated plates and a second material support plate for discharging material from the perforated plates and yarn bobbins.

[0005] The stacking assembly includes a support frame, a linear module, and a multi-axis robotic arm. The linear module is mounted on the support frame, and its drive end is connected to the multi-axis robotic arm. The drive end of the multi-axis robotic arm is provided with a connecting seat, which is equipped with a suction component for suctioning the perforated plate on the first material tray, a clamping component for clamping the wire spool on the material receiving assembly, and a camera for detecting the discharge of the wire spool.

[0006] In one embodiment, the receiving component of the yarn bobbin feeding and stacking mechanism includes a support base, a rotary motor, a turntable, and a receiving tray. The rotary motor is installed in the support base, and the drive end of the rotary motor is connected to the turntable. The receiving tray is installed on the turntable, and the receiving port of the receiving tray corresponds to the straight twisting machine. The rotary motor is used to drive the turntable to rotate the receiving tray for yarn bobbin receiving and feeding.

[0007] In one embodiment, the support base of the wire spool unloading and stacking mechanism is provided with a photoelectric sensor for detecting whether there is a wire spool in the receiving tray, and the receiving tray is provided with a through hole for the photoelectric sensor to perform detection.

[0008] In one embodiment, the suction assembly of the wire spool unloading and stacking mechanism includes a fixed plate and four suction cups for suctioning the perforated plate on the first material tray. The four suction cups are symmetrically installed on the four end corners of the fixed plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly of the wire bobbin unloading and stacking mechanism includes a servo gripper and two finger plates. The drive end of the servo gripper is connected to the two finger plates respectively. The servo gripper is used to drive the two finger plates to extend into the inner wall of the wire bobbin to clamp the wire bobbin.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first and second material trays of the wire spool feeding and stacking mechanism both include a support plate and several support legs, with the support legs symmetrically spaced at the lower end of the support plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0012] This application provides a yarn bobbin feeding and stacking mechanism. This feeding and stacking mechanism feeds and stacks yarn bobbins on the receiving components on one side of several straight twisting machines by setting up stacking components, which greatly improves the feeding and stacking efficiency of yarn bobbins on multiple straight twisting machines and saves time and labor costs.

[0013] The wire spool unloading and stacking mechanism uses a multi-axis robotic arm to drive the suction assembly to move the empty perforated plate on the first material tray to the second material tray. Then, the multi-axis robotic arm drives the clamping assembly to clamp the wire spools on the receiving assembly and place them sequentially into the positioning holes of the perforated plate, thus realizing the unloading of the wire spools and the stacking of the perforated plates.

[0014] The yarn bobbin feeding and stacking mechanism uses a receiving component to receive yarn bobbins on the straight twisting machine and rotates to feed the yarn bobbins. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a yarn bobbin feeding and stacking mechanism, including a stacking assembly 1 and several straight twisting machines 2. Each of the several straight twisting machines 2 has a receiving assembly 3 on one side for receiving yarn bobbins 6 on the straight twisting machines 2. Several material support assemblies 4 are arranged between the stacking assembly 1 and the several straight twisting machines 2. The material support assembly 4 includes a first material support plate 41 for supporting multiple perforated plates 5 and a second material support plate 42 for discharging material from the perforated plates 5 and the yarn bobbins 6.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the stacking assembly 1 includes a support frame 11, a linear module 12, and a multi-axis robotic arm 13. The linear module 12 is mounted on the support frame 11, and the drive end of the linear module 12 is connected to the multi-axis robotic arm 13. The drive end of the multi-axis robotic arm 13 is provided with a connecting seat 14. The connecting seat 14 is provided with a suction assembly 15 for suctioning the perforated plate 5 on the first material tray 41, a clamping assembly 16 for clamping the wire spool 6 on the connecting assembly 3, and a camera 17 for detecting the discharge of the wire spool 6.

[0023] Specifically, six straight twisting machines 2 are arranged on one side of the stacking assembly 1, and each of the six straight twisting machines 2 has a receiving assembly 3 for receiving the yarn bobbins 6. The multi-axis robotic arm 13 of the stacking assembly 1 drives the suction assembly 15 to pick up the empty perforated plate 5 on the first material tray 41 and move it to the second material tray 42. At the same time, the yarn bobbins 6 produced by the straight twisting machines 2 flow into the receiving assembly 3 along the production line. The receiving assembly 3 drives the yarn bobbins 6 to rotate 180 degrees. The multi-axis robotic arm 13 drives the clamping assembly 16 to clamp the yarn bobbins 6 on the receiving assembly 3 and place the yarn bobbins 6 vertically in the positioning holes of the perforated plate 5. The clamping of the yarn bobbins 6 is repeated in sequence to place the yarn bobbins 6 in multiple positioning holes of the perforated plate 5. At the same time, the camera 17 takes pictures to detect the placement position of the yarn bobbins 6, which improves the accuracy of the placement of the yarn bobbins 6. When the perforated plate 5 is full of yarn bobbins 6, the multi-axis robotic arm 13 drives the suction assembly 15 to continue stacking the empty perforated plates 5 on the first material tray 41 onto the perforated plates 5 full of yarn bobbins 6, repeating the operation in sequence to realize the feeding and stacking of multiple yarn bobbins 6. The linear module 12 of the stacking assembly 1 drives the multi-axis robotic arm 13 to move the suction assembly 15 and the clamping assembly 16 horizontally to feed and stack the yarn bobbins 6 on the receiving assembly 3 at the side of the six straight twisting machines 2 in the production sequence.

[0024] In the above structure, by setting a linear module 12 to drive a multi-axis robotic arm 13 to move the suction component 15 and clamping component 16 horizontally, the feeding and stacking of multiple yarn bobbins 6 on the straight twisting machine 2 is realized, improving the feeding and stacking efficiency of the yarn bobbins 6. Furthermore, by setting the suction component 15 on the multi-axis robotic arm 13, the movement of the perforated plate 5 is realized; by setting the clamping component 16, the movement and feeding of the yarn bobbins 6 are realized; and by setting a camera 17, the accuracy of the yarn bobbin 6 feeding is ensured. Additionally, by setting a receiving component 3 on the side end of the straight twisting machine 2, the receiving and feeding of the yarn bobbins 6 is realized. This yarn bobbin feeding and stacking mechanism not only greatly improves the feeding and stacking efficiency but also saves time and labor costs.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the receiving assembly 3 of the yarn bobbin unloading and stacking mechanism includes a support base 31, a rotary motor 32, a turntable 33, and a receiving tray 34. The rotary motor 32 is installed inside the support base 31, and its drive end is connected to the turntable 33. The receiving tray 34 is installed on the turntable 33, and its receiving port corresponds to that of the straight twisting machine 2. The rotary motor 32 drives the turntable 33 to rotate the receiving tray 34 for receiving and feeding the yarn bobbin 6. After the yarn bobbin 6 of the straight twisting machine 2 is produced, it flows into the receiving tray 34 along the production line. The rotary motor 32 drives the turntable 33 to rotate the receiving tray 34 180 degrees, and the multi-axis robotic arm 13 drives the clamping assembly 16 to clamp and transfer the inner wall of the yarn bobbin 6. This arrangement facilitates the receiving and feeding of the yarn bobbin 6 and improves the feeding efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the support base 31 of the yarn bobbin unloading and stacking mechanism is equipped with a photoelectric sensor 35 for detecting whether there is a yarn bobbin 6 in the receiving tray 34. The receiving tray 34 is provided with a through hole for the photoelectric sensor 35 to detect. When the photoelectric sensor 35 detects that there is a yarn bobbin 6 in the receiving tray 34, it sends a signal for the next clamping step. When the photoelectric sensor 35 detects that there is no yarn bobbin 6 in the receiving tray 34, it sends an alarm signal, and the staff can check and handle the situation in time. This setting facilitates the timely issuance of signals for the next step of the work and ensures the safety of the production environment.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the suction assembly 15 of the yarn bobbin unloading and stacking mechanism includes a fixed plate 151 and four suction cups 152 for suctioning the perforated plates 5 on the first material tray 41. The four suction cups 152 are symmetrically mounted on the four end corners of the fixed plate 151. When the perforated plates 5 of the second material tray 42 are full of yarn bobbins 6, the multi-axis robotic arm 13 drives the fixed plate 151 to drive the four suction cups 152 to suction the empty perforated plates 5 on the first material tray 41. Then, the multi-axis robotic arm 13 drives the suction cups 152 to stack the empty perforated plates 5 on the perforated plates 5 of the second material tray 42. This arrangement facilitates the suction and stacking of the perforated plates 5.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping assembly 16 of the yarn spool unloading and stacking mechanism includes a servo gripper 161 and two clamping finger plates 162. The driving end of the servo gripper 161 is connected to the two clamping finger plates 162 respectively. The servo gripper 161 is used to drive the two clamping finger plates 162 to extend into the inner wall of the yarn spool 6 to clamp the yarn spool 6. When the receiving assembly 3 rotates the yarn spool 6 to the feeding end, the multi-axis robotic arm 13 drives the servo gripper 161 to drive the two clamping finger plates 162 to extend into the inner wall of the yarn spool 6. The servo gripper 161 drives the two clamping finger plates 162 to move in the opposite direction to clamp the inner wall of the yarn spool 6. The multi-axis robotic arm 13 drives the servo gripper 161 to move the yarn spool 6 vertically into the positioning hole of the perforated plate 5. This arrangement facilitates the unloading of the yarn spool 6 and improves the unloading efficiency of the yarn spool 6.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the first and second support trays 41 and 42 of the wire bobbin unloading and stacking mechanism both include a support plate and several support legs, which are symmetrically spaced at the lower end of the support plate. Three support legs are provided at the bottom end of the support plate. This arrangement improves the support strength for the perforated plate 5 and the wire bobbin 6.

[0030] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
