Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cord production, specifically to a swing arm type fusing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Steel cord developed alongside radial tires and is the most widely used rubber skeleton material, as well as the most difficult to produce among metal products. Steel cord is made of high-quality high-carbon steel, plated with brass, and consists of fine-gauge steel wire strands or ropes with special uses. It is mainly used as a skeleton material for passenger car tires, light truck tires, heavy-duty truck tires, construction machinery tires, aircraft tires, and other rubber products.
[0003] Currently, in the steel cord manufacturing industry, the knotting of the entire coil of steel wire is done automatically by robots. However, the knotted ends are too long, and during long-distance transportation, they get caught on the automated equipment, affecting the operation of the production line. Therefore, after production, the ends often need to be manually cut off and placed in the waste bin on the transport line. With the improvement of automation, it is necessary to use robotic arms to replace manual labor for this operation. Since ordinary robotic arms occupy a lot of space and are expensive, there is a need for a structure that can melt and cut the ends and place them in a designated location. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a swing arm type fusing mechanism. After the tail wire is fused by the fusing mechanism, the tail wire is clamped by a pneumatic clamp and moved to a designated position, which reduces manufacturing costs.

[0010] A finger cylinder, fixed to the adjusting plate, is used to clamp the melted steel cord.
[0011] Furthermore, the swing mechanism includes a swing rod A, a swing rod B, and a connecting rod. One end of the swing rod A is rotatably connected to the mounting plate via a rotating shaft A.

[0013] Furthermore, a tensioning wheel is provided on the mounting plate, the tensioning wheel is rotatably connected to the tensioning block, and the tensioning block is fixedly connected to the mounting plate in an adjustable position.
[0014] Furthermore, guide plates are provided on both sides of the fuse module, and guide grooves are provided on the guide plates.

[0021] The purpose, advantages, and features of this utility model will be illustrated and explained through the following non-limiting description of preferred embodiments. These embodiments are merely typical examples of applying the technical solutions of this invention, and all technical solutions formed by equivalent substitutions or equivalent transformations fall within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0022] In the description of the solution, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience and simplification of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0023] First, it should be noted that the drive source 201 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor to facilitate precise control of the movement amplitude of the swing mechanism. Its control method is a conventional solution, which will not be described in detail in this patent.
[0024] Specific solutions are as follows Figures 1-4 As shown, a rocker arm type fuse mechanism includes,
[0025] A connecting post 10 is provided with a mounting plate 101;
[0026] A swing mechanism 20 is disposed on the mounting plate 101. An adjustment plate 206 is mounted on the swing mechanism 20 away from the mounting plate 101. The swing mechanism 20 is driven by a drive source 201 to swing.
[0027] The fusing module 30 is fixed on the adjusting plate 206. The fusing module 30 includes two sets of fusing clamps 301 arranged opposite each other. An opening 302 for steel cord to enter is provided between the fusing clamps 301. One set of fusing clamps 301 is fixedly connected to a cylinder A303. Under the action of the cylinder A303, it moves toward the other set of fusing clamps 301 to melt the steel cord between the two sets.
[0028] Finger cylinder 40, which is fixed to the adjusting plate 206, is used to clamp the broken steel cord.
[0029] Specifically, the connecting column 10 has a small structure and is used to mount the entire mechanism on the equipment platform, making the installation structure more compact. The cylinder A303 in the fusing module 30 pushes a set of fusing clamps 301 to move to another set of fusing clamps 301 to fuse the steel cord between them. At the same time, the finger cylinder 40 holds the tail of the steel cord. Under the action of the drive source 201, the swing mechanism 20 can swing at a fixed point to discard the cut steel cord to a designated position with high repeatability. The fusing method of the fusing clamps 301 is a conventional solution, which will not be described in detail in this patent.
[0030] Furthermore, the swing mechanism 20 includes a swing rod A202, a swing rod B203, and a connecting rod 204. One end of the swing rod A202 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 101 via a rotating shaft A. One end of the swing rod B203 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 101 via a rotating shaft B and is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive source 201. Both ends of the connecting rod 204 are rotatably connected to the free ends of the swing rod A202 and the swing rod B203, respectively. The adjusting plate 206 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 204.
[0031] Specifically, in order to ensure the stability of the rocker arm mechanism 20, rocker arms A202 and B203 can be arranged in parallel, forming a parallelogram structure using connecting rod 204 and mounting plate 101. The rotation of rocker arm B203 is driven by drive source 201, which drives the rocker arm mechanism 20 to swing, thereby achieving fixed-point swing.
[0032] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the swing arm mechanism 20 during swing, synchronous pulleys are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft A and rotating shaft B respectively, and the two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt 205.
[0033] Furthermore, to ensure the stable movement of the synchronous belt 205, a tensioning wheel 1011 is provided on the mounting plate 101. The tensioning wheel 1011 is rotatably connected to the tensioning block 1012. The tensioning block 1012 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 101 in an adjustable position. The mounting plate 101 is provided with a mounting groove that matches the tensioning block 1012. The mounting position of the tensioning block 1012 can be adjusted by bolts, thereby adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel 1011. This design is simple, practical, and easy to maintain.
[0034] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the entry of steel cord into the fusion module 30, guide plates 304 are provided on both sides of the fusion module 30. The guide plates 304 are provided with guide grooves 3041. The side closer to the steel cord is used to guide the steel cord into the openings 302, and the side closer to the finger cylinder 40 is used to guide the steel cord into the finger cylinder 40 for clamping.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the introduction of steel cord, the free end of the gripping part of the finger cylinder 40 is provided with a flared opening facing outward.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
