Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to metal processing technology, and more particularly to an integrated steel mesh stamping system. Background Technology
[0002] Stainless steel mesh possesses advantages such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and high strength, and has been widely used in industrial fields, such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, video processing, and vehicles, for filtering liquids to achieve the separation of suspended solids and clarification of liquids. Stainless steel mesh can also be used in the construction industry as a reinforcement material and protective isolation material.
[0003] Depending on the structure of the stainless steel mesh, its processing methods are mainly divided into two processes: weaving and stamping / stretching. For the stamping process, a stretching machine is used to stretch and press stainless steel sheets into a mesh shape, which is then flattened by a pressing machine and finally wound into a finished product. The stretching machine and the pressing machine operate continuously, with the mesh from the stretching machine directly entering the pressing machine. Due to the difference in the mesh feeding speed between the stretching and pressing machines, the mesh tension between them differs, leading to overstretching of the mesh and potential damage to the pressing or stretching machine, thus reducing production efficiency. For example, if the pressing machine's feeding speed is too fast, causing the mesh to be too taut between the stretching and pressing machines, it will deform the mesh, resulting in a lower yield, and will also damage the drive rollers and motors of the stretching or pressing machines. If the pressing machine's feeding speed is too slow, the mesh may wrinkle or even break. Summary of the Invention

[0049] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated steel mesh stamping and rolling system, including: a mesh stretching machine 1, a flattening machine 2, a roll winding device 3, and a steel mesh inspection device 4. The mesh stretching machine 1, the flattening machine 2, and the roll winding device 3 can employ existing technologies to achieve the stamping of the steel mesh and the flattening and winding of the steel mesh. Alternatively, the following solution provided in this embodiment can also be used.
[0051] The screen forming machine 1 is used to punch and roll stainless steel sheets into steel mesh. The outlet of the screen forming machine 1 is equipped with rollers arranged vertically, and the steel mesh passes through the upper and lower sets of rollers and is output from the screen forming machine 1.
[0052] The flattening machine 2 has a housing, and two sets of drive rollers 21 are arranged vertically within the housing, with a gap between the two sets of drive rollers 21 to accommodate the steel mesh 7. In this embodiment, each set of drive rollers 21 includes two drive rollers 21, for a total of four drive rollers 21. One drive roller 21 is the driving roller, driven by a motor and a reducer, while the other three drive rollers 21 are driven rollers.
[0053] One side of the two sets of drive rollers 21 serves as the inlet end, and the other side serves as the outlet end. The inlet end receives the steel mesh 7 output from the stretching machine 1. The two sets of drive rollers 21 rotate in opposite directions to flatten the steel mesh 7 and move it toward the outlet end.
[0054] The rolling device 3 is located at the outlet end of the flattening machine 2 and is used to wind the steel mesh 7 output by the flattening machine 2 into a steel mesh roll.
[0055] The steel mesh detection device 4 is installed on the flattening machine 2 and extends to the inlet end, and is used to detect the slack of the steel mesh 7.
[0056] In addition, a control box 8 is used, which contains a controller, power supply, relays, circuit breakers, fuses, and other devices. The input terminal of the controller is connected to the stencil detection device 4, receiving the signals detected by the stencil detection device 4 to determine the slack of the stencil 7.
[0057] When the steel mesh 7 is in a relatively loose state, it indicates that the mesh-walking speed of the flattening machine 2 is too slow. This will cause the steel mesh between the stretching machine 1 and the flattening machine 2 to gradually loosen and fall to the ground. During the movement, friction with the ground will cause wear or dirt to the surface of the steel mesh. In this case, the controller will control the flattening machine 2 to increase the mesh-walking speed, specifically by increasing the speed of the drive motor of the transmission roller 21 to match the mesh-walking speed of the stretching machine 1.
[0058] When the steel mesh 7 is taut, it indicates that the flattening machine 2 is moving too fast, which will cause excessive tension on the steel mesh between the stretching machine 1 and the flattening machine 2, easily leading to overstretching. Therefore, the controller will reduce the moving speed of the flattening machine 2, specifically by reducing the speed of the drive motor of the transmission roller 21 to match the moving speed of the stretching machine 1.
[0059] The technical solution provided in this embodiment uses a screen forming machine to punch stainless steel plates into steel mesh; a flattening machine is equipped with two sets of drive rollers, arranged vertically with a gap between them to accommodate the steel mesh; one side of each drive roller serves as the inlet end and the other as the outlet end, with the inlet end receiving the steel mesh output from the screen forming machine; the two drive rollers rotate in opposite directions to flatten the steel mesh output from the screen forming machine and move it towards the outlet end; a winding device is located at the outlet end of the flattening machine to wind the steel mesh output from the flattening machine into a steel mesh roll; a steel mesh detection device is located on the flattening machine and extends to the inlet end to detect the slack of the steel mesh, thereby controlling the wire mesh feeding speed of the flattening machine until it matches the wire mesh feeding speed of the screen forming machine, achieving smooth wire mesh feeding and reducing the failure rate. On the one hand, this avoids steel mesh deformation or wear, thereby improving the yield rate; on the other hand, it improves production efficiency and reduces damage to the screen forming machine or flattening machine, lowering maintenance costs.
[0060] Based on the above technical solutions, this embodiment provides an implementation method for a steel mesh inspection device:
[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the stencil detection device 4 includes a connector 41 and a stencil detection sensor 42. The connector 41 has a first end and a second end; the first end is connected to the housing of the flattening machine 2, and the second end extends to the inlet end of the flattening machine 2. The stencil detection sensor 42 is located at the second end of the connector 41, at the midpoint of the stencil width, and detects the slackness of the stencil 7.
[0062] The stencil detection sensor 42 can be located above or below the stencil 7. In this embodiment, the stencil detection sensor 42 is placed above the stencil 7. Specifically, the detection surface of the stencil detection sensor 42 faces downwards, and it is used to detect the stencil 7 below.
[0063] The stencil detection sensor 42 can be a distance sensor used to detect the distance between itself and the stencil 7, thereby determining the slackness of the stencil 7. When the stencil 7 is in a relatively slack state, it falls downwards, increasing the distance between itself and the stencil detection sensor 42. When the distance exceeds the upper limit, the flattening machine 2 needs to be controlled to increase its feeding speed. When the stencil 7 is in a taut state, the distance between itself and the stencil detection sensor 42 is smaller. When the distance is less than the upper limit, the flattening machine 2 needs to be controlled to decrease its feeding speed to match the feeding speed of the stretching machine 1.
[0064] The steel mesh detection sensor 42 can specifically be a photoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, a Hall sensor, etc.
[0065] Alternatively, the stencil detection sensor 42 can also be an image acquisition device, which determines the slack of the stencil 7 by acquiring images of the stencil 7.
[0066] Further as Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned connector 41 specifically includes a first connecting arm 411 and a second connecting arm 412. The first connecting arm 411 extends along a first direction, with one end fixed to the housing of the flattening machine 2. The first direction is from the flattening machine 2 towards the stretching machine 1, which is also the direction in which the steel mesh 7 travels. The second connecting arm 412 is perpendicularly connected to the first connecting arm 411 and extends along a second direction to the middle position of the flattening machine 2. The steel mesh detection sensor 42 is connected to the end of the second connecting arm 412. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the axial direction of the drive roller 21.
[0067] The connector 41 provided in this embodiment is only one example, and it can also be implemented in other ways.
[0068] Based on the above technical solution, a cutting device 5 is also used, which is set between the flattening machine 2 and the rolling device 3, to cut the steel mesh 7. When the steel mesh roll wound on the rolling device 3 is large enough to meet the length requirements of a product, the steel mesh 7 can be cut by the cutting device 5, the wound steel mesh roll can be removed, and then the cut steel mesh 7 joint can be wound back onto the rolling device 3 for continued winding.
[0069] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the cutting device 5 includes a support plate 51, a cutter 52, and a cutter driver. The support plate 51 is located between the flattening machine 2 and the rolling device 3, and the support plate 51 is lower than the top of the lower drive roller 21. The steel mesh 7 output from the flattening machine 2 moves along the support plate 51 to the rolling device 3.
[0070] The cutter 52 is mounted across the support plate 51 and extends along the second direction. A cutter driver is located below the support plate 51 and connected to the cutter 52 to drive the cutter 52 to move vertically. The cutter driver drives the cutter 52 downwards, applying force to the steel mesh 7 and cooperating with the support plate 51 to cut the steel mesh 7. After cutting, the cutter driver drives the cutter 52 upwards back to its initial position.
[0071] Furthermore, a cutter detection device is installed above or below the support plate 51 to detect the falling position of the cutter 52, so as to know in time that the cutting is completed and move the cutter upward to avoid the cutter moving too downward and damaging the support plate 51 or affecting the wire mesh 7 and thus causing the wire mesh 7 to be blocked.
[0072] This embodiment provides an implementation method for a cutter detection device, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cutter detection device includes: a transmission rod 53, a transmission cam 54, and a detector 55.
[0073] The transmission rod 53 extends vertically, with its top end connected to the cutter 52 and its bottom end extending below the support plate 51. The transmission cam 54 is connected to the bottom end of the transmission rod 53, and the vertical movement of the transmission rod 53 drives the transmission cam 54 to rotate.
[0074] A sensor 56 is provided on the surface edge of the transmission cam 54, and a detector 55 is provided on the side of the transmission cam 54 where the sensor 56 is provided, and the detector 55 is directly opposite the sensor 56 when the transmission rod 53 moves downward to the target position.
[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, a sensing plate 56 is provided on the left surface edge of the transmission cam 54, and a detector 55 is provided on the corresponding left end of the transmission cam 54. As the cutter 52 moves downward, it drives the transmission rod 53 to move downward. Figure 6 In the current position shown, the sensor 56 reaches the upper part of the transmission cam 54, and the connection between the transmission rod 52 and the transmission cam 54 is located at the lower part. When the sensor 56 is directly opposite the detector 55, the detector 55 sends a detection signal indicating that the cutter 52 has moved to the lower limit position, and then the cutter 52 can be controlled to move upward back to the initial position.
[0076] The detector 55 and the sensing element 56 can be Hall sensors and magnets, or transmitters and receivers in photoelectric sensors, or other types of detection devices.
[0077] Based on the above technical solutions, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, a length detection device 6 can also be used, which is set on the flattening machine 2, to detect the length of the passing steel mesh 7 and to assist the cutting device 5 in cutting the steel mesh 7.
[0078] The length sensor 6 can be a rotation speed measuring device, which determines the length traveled by the steel mesh 7 by measuring the rotation speed of the drive roller 21. The length sensor 6 can also use laser scanning technology to measure the length traveled by the steel mesh 7.
[0079] Furthermore, buttons for controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the flattening machine and buttons for controlling the cutter are installed on the control box 8 to enable manual operation.
[0080] The data detected by the sensors is processed and analyzed, and compared with historical process parameters. The control system can automatically optimize the wire mesh walking speed of the flattening machine, reducing the problem of high defect rate caused by insufficient human experience.
[0081] The above technical solution uses sensors to detect data and control motor speed and cutter movement, automating processes such as stamping, feeding, rolling, and cutting, eliminating cumulative errors caused by mechanical linkages. Actual production verification shows that the failure rate of the above stamping and rolling system is reduced by more than 60%, and the improved accuracy of the sensor warning and servo system significantly reduces sudden failures. Labor costs are reduced by more than 40%, and automated feeding and parameter setting functions reduce reliance on skilled workers while also reducing the number of steel mesh rolling operations, further saving labor and reducing the impact of the steel mesh rolling process on quality.
