Description
Technical Field

[0002] A wire mesh warping machine is a key piece of equipment specifically designed to wind metal wires (such as stainless steel, copper, and nickel wires) into warp beams according to a specific arrangement, providing a foundation for subsequent weaving, welding, or stamping into wire mesh. Its core function is to ensure uniform tension and neat arrangement of the metal wires during winding, meeting the manufacturing requirements of high-precision, high-performance wire mesh products. However, wire breakage may occur during the operation of the warping machine. Failure to address broken wires promptly can result in burrs and protrusions, affecting the flatness of the wire mesh surface.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a warping machine for metal wire mesh includes a ball screw mechanism 1, with support plates symmetrically mounted on the bottom of the ball screw mechanism 1. The ball screw mechanism 1 is a high-precision, high-efficiency transmission element, including a base 101. A slide rail 102 is symmetrically mounted on the upper end of the base 101, and a movable seat 104 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 102. A lead screw 103 is threadedly connected to the center of the bottom of the movable seat 104. One end of the lead screw 103 is rotatably mounted on the base 101, and the other end is connected to a forward / reverse motor 105. By starting the forward / reverse motor 105, the movable seat 104 moves on the base 101 according to the lead screw principle.
[0025] The ball screw mechanism 1 is movably mounted with a tensioning mechanism 2, which includes several guide rollers and tensioning rollers. The metal wire passes around the guide rollers and tensioning rollers in sequence, and the tension is adjusted by adjusting the position of the tensioning rollers. This is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0026] Connecting rods 3 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the tensioning mechanism 2, and the connecting rods 3 are located below the tensioning mechanism 2. A guide mechanism 4 is installed between the connecting rods 3. The guide mechanism 4 includes an open box 401, and a plurality of wire guide holes 402 are equally spaced at the bottom of the open box 401. The metal wire passes through the wire guide holes 402 to achieve guidance and avoid entanglement between adjacent metal wires, thereby improving the winding efficiency and quality.
[0027] The guiding mechanism 4 is equipped with a visual online inspection mechanism 5, which is based on computer vision technology. It acquires images of the metal wire in real time, processes, analyzes, and judges the images using algorithms, and achieves automated detection of whether the metal wire is broken. The visual online inspection mechanism 5 includes an electric slide mechanism symmetrically installed at the front and rear positions of the top of the open box 401. An industrial camera 503 and an industrial camera 507 are movably mounted on the front and rear electric slide mechanisms, with the two cameras moving in opposite directions. As the industrial cameras move on the electric slide mechanisms, they acquire image information of the metal wire in real time and transmit the acquired information to the control cabinet 11. The control cabinet 11 converts the image signals into digital signals, and the algorithm replaces manual labor to complete a high-speed, high-precision inspection task. Once a broken wire problem is detected, the system promptly notifies personnel for handling. The algorithm prioritizes the use of mature vision libraries (OpenCV, Halcon) or deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow). It also customizes algorithms or trains models to address difficult defects (such as broken wires). This is an existing technical approach and will not be elaborated further here.
[0028] The electric slide mechanism is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. It includes an electric slide 501, on which a sliding seat 502 is slidably mounted. A driver 504 is mounted on one side of the electric slide 501. The driver 504 is a stepper motor or a servo motor. A limit mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the electric slide 501. The limit mechanism includes a first limit component 505 and a second limit component 506 respectively mounted on both sides of the electric slide 501. A limit sensing plate matching the first limit component 505 and the second limit component 506 is installed on the outer wall of the sliding seat 502. The movement stroke signal of the sliding seat 502 is obtained through the limit sensing plate via the first limit component 505 and the second limit component 506, thereby controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the driver 504 to achieve a uniform left-right movement of the sliding seat 502.
[0029] A winding shaft 6 is installed below the guide mechanism 4, and both ends of the winding shaft 6 are rotatably mounted on the support plate. The winding shaft 6 is connected to the drive shaft 9 through a gear transmission mechanism 10; one end of the drive shaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the support plate, and the other end extends out of the support plate and is connected to the drive motor 8. The drive motor 8 drives the drive shaft 9 to rotate, and then the rotational force is transmitted through two meshing gear structures, thereby satisfying the rotation of the winding shaft 6. The metal wire 7 passes around the tensioning mechanism 2, then through the guide mechanism 4 to reach the winding shaft 6, and finally winds onto the winding shaft 6.
[0030] A control cabinet 11, electrically connected to the drive motor 8, ball screw mechanism 1, and vision online inspection mechanism 5, is installed on one side of the support plate. A display 12 is mounted on the control cabinet 11. A speed sensor, employing a photoelectric encoder or Hall effect sensor, is installed on the winding shaft 6 to detect its rotational speed in real time. The speed sensor is electrically connected to the control cabinet 11, which receives the shaft rotational speed signal and outputs a control signal according to a preset speed ratio. The control cabinet 11 includes a PID control module, which dynamically adjusts the rotational speed of the ball screw mechanism based on the rotational speed of the winding shaft 6. This synchronizes the lateral movement speed of the ball screw mechanism as the rotational speed of the winding shaft 6 changes. Especially when the winding shaft 6 enters the "climbing" acceleration phase, the ball screw mechanism accelerates synchronously, ensuring uniform axial distribution of the metal wire and preventing unevenness on the winding surface caused by wire accumulation or excessive gaps, thus achieving high-precision winding control.
[0031] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0032] First, the metal wires 7 are unwound from the bobbin according to the required total warp length. After passing through the tensioning mechanism 2, the tension of each metal wire 7 is ensured to be uniform. Then, guided by the guiding mechanism, the metal wires 7 are neatly arranged into strips. After that, according to the width and length specified in the process, starting from the starting position of the warping machine, they are wound one after another into the winding shaft 6. When a strip is wound to the specified length, it is cut and threaded into the strand to fix the position of the strip and prevent it from loosening. Then, another strip is wound parallel to the previous strip, and so on, until the specified number of strips is wound.
[0033] When each layer of metal wire is wound, the control cabinet 11 will drive the ball screw mechanism to move the strip slightly laterally according to the preset parameters. This movement distance is very small to ensure that the winding angle and position of the metal wire 7 on the winding shaft 6 can gradually change, forming a climbing effect. As the number of winding layers increases, the ball screw mechanism continues to make this slight lateral movement, so that the metal wire 7 is tightly arranged layer by layer on the winding shaft 6, and finally forms a strip roll with a certain tilt angle.
[0034] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
