Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0040] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the 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 this application.
[0041] Furthermore, where the term "and / or" appears, it merely describes the relationship between related objects and indicates that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent the relationship between A and B: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates an "or" relationship between the related objects before and after it. Where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, four, five, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0042] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0043] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0044] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 6 An embodiment of this application provides a wrapping tape loading device 10, which is used to load wrapping tape 200 onto a wrapping device 30, and includes a tape feeding assembly 11 and a tape loading assembly 12.
[0046] The belt feeding assembly 11 includes a carrying mechanism 111 and a conveying mechanism. The carrying mechanism 111 is disposed on the conveying mechanism and configured to carry the wrapping belt 200. The conveying mechanism has a loading position and a unloading position and is configured to drive the carrying mechanism 111 to move between the loading position and the unloading position, the unloading position being configured to correspond to the wrapping device 30.
[0047] The strapping assembly 12 includes a loading mechanism 121 and a transfer mechanism. The loading mechanism 121 is disposed within the transfer mechanism and includes a first gripper 1211 and a loading drive 1212. The first gripper 1211 is configured to grip the wrapping strap 200. The loading drive 1212 is drively connected to the first gripper 1211 and is configured to drive the first gripper 1211 in a first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The direction perpendicular to the paper and Figure 6 The transfer mechanism moves in the X direction (as shown). It has a pick-up position and a loading position, and is configured to drive the loading mechanism 121 to move between the pick-up position and the loading position. The pick-up position corresponds to the unloading position, and the loading position corresponds to the wrapping head of the wrapping device 30 along a first direction.
[0048] Understandably, the feeding assembly 11 is used to convey the wrapping tape 200 from the loading position to the unloading position for the loading assembly 12 to pick up. The loading assembly 12 is used to pick up the wrapping tape 200 corresponding to the unloading position at the picking position, transfer the picked-up wrapping tape 200 to the loading position, and load it onto the wrapping head of the wrapping device 30. The carrying mechanism 111 may have a carrying roller, and the wrapping tape 200 may be sleeved on the carrying roller. The first gripper 1211 may be, but is not limited to, a claw, and the loading drive 1212 may be, but is not limited to, a push cylinder.
[0049] Under normal use, the loading position is located on one side of the wrapping head in the first direction. The first direction is parallel to the orientation of the wrapping head, and the loading position is located above the orientation of the wrapping head. When the first gripper 1211 is in the loading position, its movement along the first direction is to move closer to or further away from the wrapping head.
[0050] The aforementioned wrapping tape loading device 10 can carry the wrapping tape 200 via the carrying mechanism 111 of the tape feeding assembly 11, and transport the wrapping tape 200 to the loading assembly 12 under the drive of the conveying mechanism. The loading assembly 12 can then transfer the loading mechanism 121 to the picking position corresponding to the unloading position via the transfer mechanism, and pick up the wrapping tape 200 via the first gripper 1211. Subsequently, the loading assembly 12 transfers the loading mechanism 121 to the loading position via the transfer mechanism, and drives the first gripper 1211 to move towards the wrapping head via the loading drive 1212, loading the wrapping tape 200 onto the wrapping head. In this way, the wrapping tape loading device 10 can complete the conveying and loading of the wrapping tape 200, reducing manual intervention and helping to ensure the efficiency of loading the wrapping tape 200.
[0051] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism has at least two unloading positions, and the wrapping tape loading device 10 includes at least two tape loading assemblies 12, each corresponding to one of the unloading positions.
[0052] Understandably, the material picking position of the transfer mechanism in each tape loading assembly 12 corresponds to a material unloading position of the tape feeding assembly 11, and each tape loading assembly 12 can be provided with a wrapping device 30, that is, the loading position of the transfer mechanism in each tape loading assembly 12 can correspond to the wrapping head of a wrapping device 30.
[0053] Specifically, the conveying mechanism has 3, 4 or 5 unloading positions, and correspondingly, the wrapping tape loading device 10 includes 3, 4 or 5 tape loading assemblies 12.
[0054] In this way, the tape feeding assembly 11 can simultaneously feed the wrapping tape 200 to multiple wrapping devices 30 and install it through the corresponding tape loading assembly 12, which helps to improve loading efficiency. Moreover, multiple wrapping devices 30 can form multiple wrappings to meet the wrapping requirements of cables.
[0055] In some embodiments, the belt feeding assembly 11 includes at least two support mechanisms 111.
[0056] Thus, the conveyor assembly 11 can simultaneously convey at least two wrapping tapes 200 through its at least two carrying mechanisms 111, which helps to improve conveying efficiency.
[0057] In some embodiments, the wrapping tape loading device 10 further includes a platform 13 with a wrapping space below it for mounting the wrapping device 30. The tape feeding assembly 11 is disposed on the platform 13.
[0058] Specifically, the wrapping tape loading device 10 also includes a support column 40, through which the platform 13 is mounted. The support column 40 can be arranged around the wrapping device 30 so that the platform 13 is mounted above the wrapping device 30.
[0059] Thus, the installation of the conveyor belt assembly 11 occupies less ground space, which helps to improve space utilization. At the same time, the conveying, transfer and loading process of the wrapping belt 200 is from top to bottom, and there is no need to flip the wrapping belt 200; it can be moved horizontally.
[0060] Furthermore, the wrapping tape loading device 10 also includes a dehumidification assembly 14, which is disposed on the platform 13 and has a dehumidification space 141. The carrying mechanism 111 is located within the dehumidification space 141.
[0061] The dehumidification component 14 is mounted on the platform 13 and forms a relatively enclosed dehumidification space 141 on the platform 13. This space contains dehumidification equipment for drying the wrapping tape 200 carried by the support mechanism 111. Understandably, to facilitate the transfer of the wrapping tape 200, the dehumidification component 14 also has a channel connecting to the dehumidification space 141, which can be openable and closable.
[0062] Thus, the dehumidification component 14 can dry and dehumidify the wrapping tape 200 carried by the carrying mechanism 111. That is, the wrapping tape 200 completes the drying work during the conveying process of the conveyor belt component 11 and before being loaded into the wrapping device 30, which helps to improve the wrapping quality.
[0063] In some embodiments, the wrapping tape loading device 10 further includes a feeding assembly 15, which includes a lifting basket 151, a feeding lifting mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The lifting basket 151 is disposed on the feeding lifting mechanism and configured to load the wrapping tape 200. The feeding lifting mechanism has a loading position and a unloading position and is configured to drive the lifting basket 151 to move between the loading position and the unloading position. The loading position is located at the bottom end of the feeding lifting mechanism, and the unloading position is correspondingly disposed to the loading position. The feeding mechanism is disposed on the platform 13 and configured to load the wrapping tape 200 carried by the lifting basket 151 at the unloading position to the carrying mechanism 111.
[0064] Specifically, the loading and lifting mechanism includes a loading and lifting rail 1521 and a loading and lifting drive component 1522. The loading and lifting rail 1521 has a loading position and a unloading position. The lifting basket 151 is disposed on the loading and lifting rail 1521 and can move along the loading and lifting rail 1521. The loading and lifting drive component 1522 is connected to the lifting basket 151 and is configured to drive the lifting basket 151 to move between the loading position and the unloading position.
[0065] Thus, the feeding assembly 15 can convey the wrapping tape 200 from the ground to the conveyor assembly 11 located at the top. The wrapping tape 200 only needs to be placed in the lifting basket 151 located at the bottom loading position, and the feeding lifting mechanism can lift the lifting basket 151 to the unloading position level with the loading position, and the wrapping tape 200 is fed onto the carrying mechanism 111 through the feeding mechanism.
[0066] Specifically, the loading and lifting mechanism also includes a drum 1523, a transmission wire rope 1524, and a wire rope pulley 1525. The drum 1523 is connected to the loading and lifting drive unit 1522 and is used to wind and release the transmission wire rope 1524. The wire rope pulley 1525 is connected to the lifting basket 151, and the transmission wire rope 1524 is wound around the wire rope pulley 1525.
[0067] Thus, the material lifting mechanism drives the lifting basket 151 to rise and fall by winding and releasing the transmission wire rope 1524 through the drum 1523.
[0068] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism is a first automated guided vehicle 153. An automated guided vehicle is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle).
[0069] Understandably, when the lifting basket 151 is in the loading position, its bottom surface can be flush with the platform 13, and the first automatic guide vehicle 153 can push the wrapping tape 200 inside the lifting basket 151 onto the carrying mechanism 111. To facilitate the movement of the first automatic guide vehicle 153, the lifting basket 151 can have openings on both sides, with one side facing the first automatic guide vehicle 153 and the other side facing the carrying mechanism 111.
[0070] Specifically, the platform 13 has a fixed storage location for the first automated guided vehicle 153 to be parked when it is not in operation.
[0071] Thus, when the lifting basket 151 reaches the unloading position, the first automatic guide vehicle 153 can automatically and accurately transfer the wrapping tape 200 to the carrying mechanism 111.
[0072] In some embodiments, the wrapping tape loading device 10 further includes a second automated guided vehicle for conveying the wrapping tape 200 to the lifting basket 151 located at the loading position.
[0073] Understandably, when the lifting basket 151 is in the loading position, its bottom surface is flush with the ground, the second automatic guide vehicle moves on the ground, and can automatically acquire the wrapping tape 200.
[0074] After feeding the conveyor belt assembly 11, the lifting basket 151 begins to move downwards. When it reaches the loading position, the lifting basket 151 stops moving, and the second automatic guide vehicle on the ground transports the wrapping tape 200 into the lifting basket 151. After the wrapping tape 200 is reloaded, the lifting basket 151 can move upwards again to transport the wrapping tape 200.
[0075] In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism includes a transfer lifting rail 1231 and a transfer lifting drive. The transfer lifting rail 1231 has a picking position and a loading position. The loading mechanism 121 is disposed on the transfer lifting rail 1231 and is movable along the transfer lifting rail 1231. The transfer lifting drive is drively connected to the loading mechanism 121 and is configured to drive the loading mechanism 121 to move between the picking position and the loading position.
[0076] The transfer lifting drive includes two transfer drive sprockets 1232, a transfer drive chain 1233, and a transfer lifting driver 1234. The two transfer drive sprockets 1232 are respectively located at both ends of the transfer lifting rail 1231. The transfer drive chain 1233 is wound around the two transfer drive sprockets 1232 and connected to the loading mechanism 121. The transfer lifting driver 1234 is driven by at least one of the two transfer drive sprockets 1232.
[0077] In this way, the transfer mechanism can stably drive the loading mechanism 121 to move between the material picking position and the loading position along the transfer lifting rail 1231 by means of the cooperation of sprockets and chains.
[0078] Furthermore, the transfer lifting drive also includes a tension adjusting sprocket 1235, which engages with the transfer transmission chain 1233 and is configured to move along a second direction (e.g., Figure 4Adjust its fixed position (as shown in the Y direction), and the second direction intersects with the extension direction of the transfer transmission chain 1233.
[0079] The tension adjusting sprocket 1235 can be mounted on the loading mechanism 121. The loading mechanism 121 also has a mounting support 1213, and the tension adjusting sprocket 1235 is mounted on the mounting support 1213. The mounting support 1213 is provided with an adjusting mounting hole 1214. The adjusting mounting hole 1214 extends in a second direction and is used to adjust the mounting position of the tension adjusting sprocket 1235, thereby adjusting the tension of the transfer transmission chain 1233.
[0080] In this way, the user can adjust the tension of the transfer transmission chain 1233 by adjusting the position of the tension adjustment sprocket 1235, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the transmission.
[0081] In some embodiments, the wrapping tape loading device 10 further includes a pressure cap 17 configured to detachably engage with the wrapping head and to press the wrapping tape 200 when engaged with the wrapping head.
[0082] The wrapping tape loading device 10 also includes an elastic element located at the wrapping head and configured to abut against the winding core of the wrapping tape 200, generating an elastic force against it away from the wrapping device 30. When the pressure cap 17 is removed, the wrapping tape 200, originally loaded on the wrapping head, automatically pops out under the action of the elastic element, allowing for replacement with a new wrapping tape 200. After the wrapping tape 200 is installed on the wrapping device 30, reinstalling the pressure cap 17 can tighten the replaced wrapping tape 200.
[0083] Thus, the pressure cap 17 can improve the stability of the wrapping process and ensure that the wrapping tape 200 can output stably during the wrapping process.
[0084] In some embodiments, the wrapping tape loading device 10 further includes a disassembly / assembly assembly, which includes a clearance mechanism and a gripping mechanism. The gripping mechanism is disposed on the clearance mechanism. The clearance mechanism has a disassembly / assembly position and a clearance position, and is configured to drive the gripping mechanism to move between the disassembly / assembly position and the clearance position. The disassembly / assembly position corresponds to the loading position, and the clearance position is spaced apart from the disassembly / assembly position. The gripping mechanism includes a disassembly / assembly gripper 1821 and a disassembly / assembly drive member 1822. The disassembly / assembly gripper 1821 is configured to grip the pressure cap 17. The disassembly / assembly drive member 1822 is drively connected to the disassembly / assembly gripper 1821 and is configured to drive the disassembly / assembly gripper 1821 to move in a first direction.
[0085] Understandably, the gripping mechanism grips the cap 17 at the disassembly / removal position and moves it to a repositioned position. In the repositioned position, the gripped cap 17 is sufficiently spaced from its original position to avoid interfering with the loading of the wrapping tape 200. After the wrapping tape 200 is installed, the gripping mechanism can drive the gripped cap 17 back to the disassembly / removal position and reinstall the cap 17.
[0086] In the disassembly / assembly position, the disassembly / assembly position is located with the wrapping head facing upward. The disassembly / assembly drive 1822 drives the disassembly / assembly gripper 1821 to move in the first direction, that is, drives the disassembly / assembly gripper 1821 to move closer to or away from the wrapping head.
[0087] Specifically, the avoidance mechanism includes an avoidance slide 1811, a slider 1812, and an avoidance drive 1813. The slider 1812 is movably mounted on the avoidance slide 1811, and the gripping mechanism is connected to the slider 1812. The avoidance drive 1813 is connected to the slider 1812 and is configured to drive the slider 1812 to move the gripping mechanism between the avoidance position and the disassembly / assembly position.
[0088] Thus, when replacing the wrapping tape 200, the cap 17 can be gripped at the disassembly / removal position by the disassembly / removal gripper 1821, and then removed under the drive of the disassembly / removal drive 1822. The cap 17 is then moved to the avoidance position under the drive of the avoidance mechanism. At this time, the winding core of the original wrapping tape 200 automatically pops out, and the cap 17 avoids the wrapping tape 200 device, allowing the wrapping tape 200 to be loaded via the tape loading assembly 12. After the new wrapping tape 200 is loaded onto the wrapping head, the disassembly / removal gripper 1821 returns to the disassembly / removal position under the drive of the avoidance mechanism, and the cap 17 is reinstalled and the newly loaded wrapping tape 200 is pressed down under the drive of the disassembly / removal drive 1822.
[0089] Furthermore, the disassembly and assembly assembly also includes a first vision sensor 185, which is disposed on the pressure cap 17 and used for correcting the deviation of the pressure cap 17 relative to the wrapping head.
[0090] Optionally, the first vision sensor 185 can be a three-dimensional (3D) vision sensor.
[0091] Understandably, the wrapping head and the cap 17 may have set extraction points and loading / unloading points, and these points are positionally corresponding to each other. The first vision sensor 185 can identify the extraction points and loading / unloading points to determine the deviation between them, so that the cap 17 can be corrected relative to the wrapping head accordingly.
[0092] In this way, the gripping mechanism can better and more accurately cooperate with the wrapping head with the assistance of the first vision sensor 185.
[0093] In some embodiments, the carrying mechanism 111 is a movable trolley. The conveying mechanism includes a conveying rail 1131 and a conveying drive 1133, with a loading position and a unloading position on the conveying rail 1131. The movable trolley is disposed on the conveying rail 1131 and is movable along the conveying rail 1131. The conveying drive 1133 is drively connected to the movable trolley and is configured to drive the loading mechanism 121 to move between the loading position and the unloading position.
[0094] Specifically, the conveyor rail 1131 can form a closed path, enabling the moving trolley to move cyclically in a single direction. The moving trolley has trolley rollers 1111, through which it can move along the conveyor rail 1131.
[0095] The conveyor belt assembly 11 may also include a track support 114 and a track bracket. The track support 114 is used to support the conveyor rail 1131. The track bracket is located at one end of the conveyor rail 1131. The conveyor drive 1133 is installed on the track bracket via the track support 114. The conveyor drive 1133 may be, but is not limited to, a servo motor.
[0096] Understandably, to ensure the conveying speed of the wrapping tape 200 meets requirements, the conveying mechanism also includes a conveying gearbox 1134 and a conveying drive chain 1135. The output shaft of the conveying gearbox 1134 and the conveying drive component 1133 are connected via the conveying drive chain 1135. The conveying mechanism also includes a conveying sprocket 1136, a conveying chain 1137, and a conveying sprocket seat 1138. The conveying sprocket 1136 is mounted on both ends of the conveying rail 1131 via the conveying sprocket seat 1138. The conveying drive component 1133 and the moving trolley are connected via the conveying sprocket 1136 and the conveying chain 1137. The conveying chain 1137 drives the moving trolley to pass through all the unloading positions sequentially.
[0097] Thus, the mobile trolley can carry the wrapping tape 200 and move along the conveyor rail 1131 under the drive of the conveyor drive 1133 to realize the conveying of the wrapping tape 200.
[0098] This application also provides a cable wrapping system 100, including the wrapping tape loading device 10 and the wrapping device 30 described above.
[0099] Understandably, the cable wrapping system 100 may include at least two wrapping devices 30, which are located below the tape feeding assembly 11 and specifically in the wrapping space below the platform 13. Furthermore, each wrapping device 30 corresponds to a tape loading assembly 12.
[0100] The aforementioned cable wrapping system 100 includes a wrapping tape 200 loading section and a cable wrapping section. The wrapping tape 200 loading section is used to transport the wrapping tape 200 to the cable wrapping section and complete the loading of the wrapping tape 200. The wrapping tape 200 loading section mainly includes a wrapping tape loading device 10, which mainly includes a tape feeding assembly 11, a tape loading assembly 12, and a feeding assembly 15. The feeding assembly 15 is used to transport the wrapping tape 200 from the ground to the tape feeding assembly 11 located on the platform 13. The tape feeding assembly 11 is used to transport the wrapping tape 200 to each tape loading assembly 12. After receiving the wrapping tape 200, the tape loading assembly 12 loads it onto the wrapping head of the wrapping device 30 for cable wrapping.
[0101] In some embodiments, the cable wrapping system 100 further includes a second vision sensor 50, which is disposed at the inlet and / or outlet of the wrapping device 30.
[0102] Optionally, the second vision sensor 50 can be a three-dimensional (3D) vision sensor.
[0103] Specifically, each wrapping device 30 is provided with a second vision sensor 50 at the front and back, and the second vision sensor 50 located between two wrapping devices 30 can be integrated together.
[0104] Thus, the second vision sensor 50, located in front of the first wrapping device 30, can detect the outer diameter and appearance quality of the insulated wire core 301. If the outer diameter meets the process requirements and the appearance is free of defects, the insulated wire core 301 is then wound with the wrapping tape 200 by the first wrapping device 30. The second vision sensor 50, located behind the wrapping device 30, can detect its wrapping overlap rate and automatically adjust the wrapping pitch to ensure that the wrapping pitch and wrapping overlap rate meet the process requirements.
[0105] For ease of understanding, the cable wrapping system 100 of this application will be described below with reference to a specific embodiment:
[0106] 1. Regarding the cable wrapping section:
[0107] The cable wrapping section includes three wrapping devices 30, a second vision sensor 50, and a track traction device 70. The first, second, and third wrapping devices 30 are arranged sequentially, corresponding end-to-end. The inlet end of the second wrapping device 30 corresponds to the outlet end of the first wrapping device 30, and the outlet end corresponds to the inlet end of the third wrapping device 30. The insulated wire core 301 receives wrapping from these three devices sequentially along its moving direction. In the moving direction of the insulated wire core 301, a second vision sensor 50 is positioned before and after each wrapping device 30. The second vision sensors 50 located between two wrapping devices 30 can be integrated together. Furthermore, in the moving direction of the insulated wire core 301, the track traction device 70 is positioned behind the last second vision sensor 50 for traction of the insulated wire core 301. Thus, the cable wrapping section is formed by the wrapping devices 30, the second vision sensor 50, and the track traction device 70.
[0108] The second vision sensor 50, located in front of the first wrapping device 30, can detect the outer diameter and appearance quality of the insulated wire core 301. If the outer diameter meets the process requirements and the appearance is free of defects, the insulated wire core 301 is then wound with wrapping tape 200 through the first wrapping device 30 to form the first wrapped wire core 302. While the first wrapping device 30 is wrapping tape 200, the second vision sensor 50, located behind the first wrapping device 30, can detect its wrapping overlap rate and automatically adjust the wrapping pitch to ensure that the wrapping pitch and wrapping overlap rate meet the process requirements. Based on a similar principle, the first wrapped wire core 302 is wound with wrapping tape 200 through the second wrapping device 30 to form the second wrapped wire core 303; the second wrapped wire core 303 is wound with wrapping tape 200 through the third wrapping device 30 to form the third wrapped wire core 304.
[0109] 2. Regarding the 200-cargo section with wrapping straps:
[0110] The wrapping tape 200 loading section includes three loading assemblies 12, one feeding assembly 11, and one feeding assembly 15. The feeding assembly 15 is used to convey the wrapping tape 200 from the ground to the feeding assembly 11. The feeding assembly 11 is used to convey the wrapping tape 200 to each loading assembly 12. After receiving the wrapping tape 200, the loading assembly 12 loads it into the wrapping head of the wrapping device 30.
[0111] A platform 13 is installed on the upper side of the cable wrapping section via a support column 40; a first tape loading assembly 12 is installed on one side of the first wrapping device 30 and connected to the platform 13; a second tape loading assembly 12 is installed on one side of the second wrapping device 30 and connected to the platform 13; a third tape loading assembly 12 is installed on one side of the third wrapping device 30 and connected to the platform 13; a tape feeding assembly 11 is installed on the platform 13; and a feeding assembly 15 is installed on one side of the cable wrapping section and connected to the platform 13.
[0112] (1) Regarding the belt feeding assembly 11:
[0113] The conveyor belt assembly 11 includes a track support 114 installed on the platform 13, a conveyor rail 1131 installed on the track support 114, a movable trolley on the conveyor rail 1131, the movable trolley can move back and forth along the conveyor rail 1131 by its trolley roller 1111, and a wrapping belt 200 is loaded on the movable trolley.
[0114] A track support is also provided at one end of the conveyor rail 1131 on platform 13. The conveyor drive 1133 is a servo motor, which is installed on the track support 114. A conveyor gearbox 1134 is also installed on the track support, and the conveyor gearbox 1134 is connected to the output shaft of the conveyor drive 1133. Specifically, the sprocket at the output end of the conveyor drive 1133 is connected to the sprocket at the input end of the conveyor gearbox 1134 via chain drive. A sprocket is installed on the output shaft of the conveyor gearbox 1134 and connected to the conveyor chain 1137. At the other end of the conveyor rail 1131, a conveyor sprocket 1136 is fixedly installed on platform 13 via the track support 114 and the support base. The conveyor sprocket 1136 cooperates with the conveyor chain 1137. By controlling the rotation of the conveyor drive 1133, the conveyor chain 1137 drives the moving trolley to move cyclically. The conveyor chain 1137 drives the moving trolley to pass through three tape loading assemblies 12 in sequence. Each position where the trolley passes through the tape loading assembly 12 corresponds to the unloading position.
[0115] (2) Regarding the mounting assembly 12:
[0116] The tape loading assembly 12 is used for transferring the wrapping tape 200 between the conveyor assembly and the wrapping device 30 and for loading the wrapping tape 200. The tape loading assembly 12 includes a mounting base 124, a transfer mechanism is disposed on the mounting base 124, and the wrapping device 30 may also be disposed on the mounting base 124.
[0117] The mounting assembly 12 also includes a first support 125, a second support 126, a transfer lifting support structure 127, a mounting platform 128, a third support 129, a sprocket support 1210, a first sprocket shaft 1220, a transfer gearbox 1230, a coupling 1240, a sprocket bracket 1250, a second sprocket shaft 1260, etc.
[0118] The first support 125 and the second support 126 are connected together to form an integral support. A transfer lifting support structure 127 is installed on the first support 125. The transfer lifting support structure 127 has a mounting platform 128, and a third support 129 is installed on the mounting platform 128. The third support 129 is used to install a transfer lifting drive component, which is a servo motor. A sprocket support 1210 is also installed on the mounting platform 128, and a transfer transmission sprocket 1232 is installed on the sprocket support 1210 via a first sprocket shaft 1220. A transfer gearbox 1230 is installed on the mounting platform 128. The input shaft of the transfer gearbox 1230 is connected to the transfer lifting drive component via a coupling 1240. The output shaft of the transfer gearbox 1230 is connected to the first sprocket shaft 1220, and the transfer lifting drive component drives the transfer transmission sprocket 1232 to rotate. A sprocket bracket 1250 is mounted on the first support 125, and another transfer drive sprocket 1232 is mounted on the sprocket bracket 1250 via a second sprocket shaft 1260. A transfer drive chain 1233 is mounted on the two transfer drive sprockets 1232, and the loading mechanism 121 is driven up and down by the transfer drive chain 1233. The transfer lifting support structure 127 has a transfer lifting rail 1231, and the loading mechanism 121 is mounted on the transfer lifting rail 1231, allowing it to slide up and down along the rail. The loading mechanism 121 has an upper fixing post 1215 and a lower fixing post 1216, which are connected to the two ends of the transfer drive chain 1233. A tension adjusting sprocket 1235 is mounted on the loading mechanism 121 via a mounting support 1213, which has an adjusting mounting hole 1214. The adjusting mounting hole 1214 extends along the second direction and is used to adjust the mounting position of the tension adjusting sprocket 1235, thereby adjusting the tension of the transfer transmission chain 1233.
[0119] The loading mechanism 121 includes a first gripper 1211, which is a claw. When the moving trolley transports the wrapping tape 200 to the unloading position, the loading mechanism 121 corresponding to the tape loading assembly 12 moves to the picking position and grips the wrapping tape 200 with the claw. After gripping the wrapping tape 200 with the claw, the loading mechanism 121 moves downward. When it moves to the loading position, the claw is pushed forward by the loading drive 1212, so that the wrapping tape 200 is installed on the wrapping device 30, realizing the automatic loading of the wrapping tape 200.
[0120] (3) Regarding the disassembly and assembly of components:
[0121] Before the loading mechanism 121 slides downward to the loading position, the disassembly and assembly assembly first removes the pressure cap 17 via the gripping mechanism, and then moves it to the avoidance position via the avoidance mechanism. The cable wrapping system 100 also includes an elastic element located at the wrapping head and configured to abut against the winding core of the wrapping tape 200, generating an elastic force against it away from the wrapping device 30. When the pressure cap 17 is removed, the wrapping tape 200, originally mounted on the wrapping head, automatically pops out under the action of the elastic element, allowing for replacement with a new wrapping tape 200. After the wrapping tape 200 is installed on the wrapping device 30, the disassembly and assembly assembly moves the pressure cap 17 back to the disassembly and assembly position via the avoidance mechanism, and then reinstalls the pressure cap 17 via the gripping mechanism to tighten the wrapping tape 200.
[0122] The assembly and disassembly assembly also includes a first vision sensor 185, which is mounted on the pressure cap 17. The first vision sensor 185 identifies the extraction point and loading / unloading point of the wrapping head and the pressure cap 17, and automatically corrects the deviation so that the two can be aligned.
[0123] The assembly and disassembly components also include a column support 183 and a geared rail bracket 184. The clearance slide 1811 is a geared rail, which is mounted on the second support 126 via the column support 183 and the geared rail bracket 184. A slider 1812 is mounted on the geared rail and can move on it. A gripping mechanism is located on the slider 1812 and includes a latch, a hanging plate, and a hook. The hanging plate and hook are located on the latch for gripping the cap 17. The assembly and disassembly drive 1822 is a push cylinder. When the hanging plate grips the cap 17, the action of the assembly and disassembly drive 1822 causes the cap 17 to disengage from the wrapping device 30. The clearance drive 1813 is a servo motor and is equipped with a gearbox and gears. The operation of the clearance drive 1813 drives the gearbox and gears, causing the cap 17 to move on the geared rail along with the slider 1812. After the wrapping tape 200 is installed on the wrapping device 30, the positioning drive 1813 runs, driving the gearbox and gears, so that the pressure cap 17 moves with the slider 1812 on the gear rail to the disassembly and assembly position. Through the action of the disassembly and assembly drive 1822, the pressure cap 17 is loaded onto the wrapping device 30.
[0124] (4) Regarding the feeding component 15:
[0125] The feeding assembly 15 also includes a feeding base 15212, a feeding lifting support structure 15214, a support platform 15210, a first feeding gearbox 1526, a second feeding gearbox 1527, a drum shaft seat 1528, and a wire rope fixing buckle 1529.
[0126] A loading lifting support structure 15214 is installed on the loading base 15212 using fixing bolts 15213; a loading lifting rail 1521 is installed on the loading lifting support structure 15214. The loading lifting support structure 15214 is connected to the platform 13. A support platform 15210 is provided on the upper side of the loading lifting support structure 15214. The loading lifting drive component 1522 is a servo motor, and the loading lifting drive component 1522, the first loading gearbox 1526, and the second loading gearbox 1527 are installed on the support platform 15210. The output shaft of the feeding lifting drive 1522 is connected to the input shaft of the first feeding gearbox 1526. The output shaft of the first feeding gearbox 1526 is connected to the input shaft of the second feeding gearbox 1527. The output shaft of the second feeding gearbox 1527 is connected to the drum 1523. The other end of the drum 1523 is equipped with a drum shaft seat 1528, which is mounted on the support platform 15210.
[0127] A wire rope fixing buckle 1529 is provided on the support platform 15210 to fix one end of the transmission wire rope 1524. The transmission wire rope 1524 passes through the wire rope pulley 1525, and the other end is fixed to the drum 1523 and wound around it. The lifting basket 151 has a pulley seat 1511, and the wire rope pulley 1525 is fixed by the pulley seat 1511. The lifting basket 151 is installed on the loading lifting rail 1521, and a guide roller 15211 is provided on the loading lifting rail 1521 to guide the sliding of the lifting basket 151. When the lifting basket 151 is raised to the unloading position, its inner bottom surface is level with the platform 13. A first automatic guide trolley 153 is installed on the platform 13, which moves the wrapping tape 200 from the lifting basket to the carrying mechanism 111. After the first automatic guide trolley 153 moves the wrapping tape 200 onto the carrying mechanism 111, it returns to its fixed storage position on the platform 13. After loading the tape into the conveyor assembly 11, the lifting basket 151 begins to move downwards. When it reaches the loading position, the lifting basket 151 stops moving, and a second automatic guide trolley on the ground transports the wrapping tape 200 into the lifting basket 151. After reloading the wrapping tape 200, the lifting basket 151 can move upwards again to transport the wrapping tape 200.
[0128] In addition to the above structure, the packaging section of the wrapping tape 200 also includes a dehumidification component 14. The dehumidification component 14 is located on the platform 13 and can form a relatively enclosed dehumidification space 141 on the platform 13. It is equipped with dehumidification equipment and can be used for drying the wrapping tape 200.
[0129] The aforementioned tape feeding assembly 11, tape loading assembly 12, feeding assembly 15, and wrapping device 30 can all include a position sensor module, which enables the positioning of related moving positions. The position sensor module can be, but is not limited to, a laser rangefinder, laser displacement sensor, grating ruler, proximity sensor, ultrasonic sensor, potentiometer sensor, inductive sensor, capacitive sensor, Hall effect sensor, magnetostrictive sensor, eddy current sensor, variable magnetoresistive sensor, MEMS position sensor, etc. The sensing and detection technology requires adaptive electromagnetic interference resistance design (compliant with IEC6100043 standard), adaptability to the high-frequency noise environment of cable factories, repeatable positioning accuracy testing (±0.1mm, 1000 cycles), dust and moisture resistance (IP54 and above), ensuring the stability of the sensor during long-term operation.
[0130] The aforementioned vision sensor employs a laser rangefinder and a vision positioning industrial camera (resolution ≥ 2MP) combined with a deep learning algorithm to achieve cable edge recognition (accuracy ± 0.2mm) and real-time online detection of the outer diameter of insulated core 301, first wrapped core 302, second wrapped core 303, and third wrapped core 304.
[0131] To facilitate understanding of the wrapping tape loading device 10 provided in this application embodiment, the working method of the wrapping tape loading device 10 is described below in conjunction with a specific scenario.
[0132] For example, Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of the overall control system for a cable wrapping system 100. (Example:) Figure 7 As shown, the overall control system includes at least a loading control system, a host computer control system, and an LCD display. The loading control system includes a cable wrapping and feeding control system, a handheld PDA terminal, a touch terminal, a control module, and a power supply. The control module receives detection data and controls the cable wrapping system 100, while the power supply provides power to the entire system. The host computer control system integrates a MOM management system and an industrial computer for data acquisition and process optimization. The LCD display shows the real-time production status.
[0133] Specifically, the loading control system also includes a feeding drive module, a loading drive module, a vision sensor module, a position sensor module, a wrapping drive module, an AGV trolley drive module, and an alarm converter module. The alarm converter module is used to trigger alarms when faults occur in cable outer diameter, wrapping pitch, overlap rate, or wrapping tape parameter detection (width, thickness). The control module includes, but is not limited to, any one of a programmable logic controller, DC controller, frequency converter, or servo motor controller.
[0134] Specifically, in some embodiments, the alarm module may only include an audible alarm unit, which sounds an alarm; in other embodiments, the alarm module may only include a visual alarm module, which emits light to sound an alarm; in still other embodiments, the alarm module may also display an alarm prompt to trigger the alarm. Any method that can trigger an alarm is acceptable and is not specifically limited here.
[0135] In one specific embodiment, the alarm module includes a three-color sound and light alarm device HL, a voice broadcaster BL, and an alarm converter module as an example. The three-color sound and light alarm device HL and the voice broadcaster BL are used to trigger the alarm through the alarm converter module.
[0136] The host computer control system mainly includes a server, an industrial computer, a MOM (Manufacturing Operation Management) system, and computer program products running within the industrial computer. The MOM system includes installed ERP, MES, and CAPP software, and is bidirectionally interconnected with the computer program products and loading control system to achieve communication.
[0137] The MOM management system achieves the reception, collection, and management of production management orders and on-site data information through two-way data interconnection; it also performs statistics and records of quality inspection data from industrial control computers, uploads the data to the MOM management system via the MOM interface, and displays the production status on a large LCD screen.
[0138] The power supply mainly provides power to the feeding drive module, loading drive module, vision sensor module, position sensor module, wrapping drive module, AGV trolley drive module, alarm converter module, touch terminal, and wrapping belt feeding and loading control system.
[0139] Specifically, during system operation, if abnormalities occur in the cable outer diameter, wrapping pitch, overlap rate, or tape parameter detection (width, thickness) and other process parameters, the three-color audible and visual alarm device HL and the voice announcer BL will sound an alarm. If abnormalities occur in the cable outer diameter, wrapping pitch, overlap rate, or tape parameter detection (width, thickness) settings, and the data fed back through CAPP is inconsistent with the actual test data, the three-color audible and visual alarm device HL and the voice announcer BL will also sound an alarm. When the equipment status is abnormal, the three-color audible and visual alarm device HL and the voice announcer BL will also trigger an alarm.
[0140] In this embodiment, the handheld PDA has RFID reading and writing functions. It mainly achieves effective tracking and management of objects and their information by having the operator confirm product order information, scan RFID tags on the package, enter the quantity, and exchange data with the reader through wireless communication technology.
[0141] The loading control system can preset parameters such as cable outer diameter, wrapping pitch, overlap rate, and wrapping tape width and thickness. The system monitors changes in cable outer diameter and wrapping tape 200 status in real time through sensors to avoid equipment damage or defective products caused by unexpected situations such as cable outer diameter increase or wrapping tape 200 not meeting process requirements.
[0142] exist Figure 7 In the structure shown, the operation method of the wrapping tape loading device 10 includes:
[0143] 1. Before production, confirm the production order through the MOM management system, extract the production process parameters through CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning, a calculation system used to formulate the machining of parts), and extract the usage of 200 wrapping tape through ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).
[0144] 2. The wrapping tape feeding and loading control system then calls the MOM management system to access the width and thickness of the wrapping tape 200. The wrapping tape feeding and loading control system transmits information to the control module, which drives the second automatic guide vehicle to transport the raw material wrapping tape to the loading position. After being sensed by the position sensor module, the information is transmitted to the wrapping tape feeding and loading control system. The wrapping tape feeding and loading control system transmits instructions to the control module, which drives the loading drive module to drive the lifting basket 151 to transport the raw material wrapping tape 200 to the unloading position. Then, the control module drives the first automatic guide vehicle 153 to transport the wrapping tape 200 to the moving trolley. After being sensed by the position sensor module of the moving trolley, the wrapping tape 200 is transported to the loading component 12 corresponding to the wrapping device 30 that needs to load the wrapping tape 200. The wrapping tape 200 is then lifted and transferred to its wrapping head, realizing the automatic conveying and unloading of the wrapping tape 200.
[0145] 3. After the high-precision position sensor module feeds back information to the wrapping tape feeding and loading control system, the command control module controls the corresponding drive components through the corresponding drive modules, ensuring a positioning accuracy of ≤±0.1mm and precise positioning during device operation. Multi-axis collaborative control PLC or motion controller (such as EtherCAT bus) synchronously controls ≥6 axes of motion with a response time <1ms.
[0146] 4. The first vision sensor 185 identifies the extraction and unloading points of the wrapping head and the cap 17, and automatically corrects deviations. Next, the second vision sensor 50 performs corresponding detection. The outer diameters of the first wrapped core 302, the second wrapped core 303, and the third wrapped core 304 are measured using a laser rangefinder sensor, enabling the detection of changes in the cable's outer diameter (accuracy ±0.05mm) for the insulated core 301. Simultaneously, the cable wrapping overlap rate is detected, and the wrapping pitch is automatically adjusted to ensure that the wrapping pitch and overlap rate meet process requirements, eliminating manual positioning errors. This is particularly suitable for multi-layer wrapping tape 200 or complex structure cables.
[0147] 5. The control system features a modular design, integrating a wrapping tape feeding and loading control system and a MOM management system. It extracts the process parameters of the wrapping tape 200 through the production process, automatically selects the required wrapping tape 200, and performs parameter detection of the wrapping tape 200 (width, thickness, etc.). Through data analysis, it optimizes production parameters, reduces scrap rate, and achieves process traceability and optimization.
[0148] 6. The adaptive PID + fuzzy control algorithm dynamically and automatically adjusts the wrapping pitch and cable wrapping overlap rate to adapt to the wrapping of cables with different outer diameters. The MOM management system's process parameter database supports the rapid retrieval of multiple cable specifications and models, including ultra-high voltage, high voltage, medium voltage, low voltage, and special cables (such as submarine cables and fire-resistant cables).
[0149] 7. Human Machine Interface (HMI): A graphical programming interface that supports visual modification of parameters (such as overlap rate, number of wrapping tape layers 200). It also features a self-diagnostic function for faults (such as moisture content, width, thickness, and edge curling of the wrapping tape 200) and provides operators with solutions.
[0150] 8. Material and process compatibility: The 200 wrapping tape is compatible with common materials (PVC, non-woven fabric, aluminum-plastic composite tape) with a thickness range of 0.05~2.5mm. Heating function is optional (temperature control ±2℃).
[0151] 9. Communication and Integration Requirements:
[0152] (1) The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) interface supports the OPCUA / Modbus protocol, connects with MES / ERP systems, and uploads production data in real time. Data storage: records process parameters and quality inspection results, with a storage period of ≥1 year.
[0153] (2) Modular expansion capability supports the subsequent addition of modules such as labeling and testing.
[0154] Please refer to it again. Figure 7Another embodiment of this application provides a general control system for a cable wrapping system 100. This general control system includes at least a loading control system, a host computer control system, and a display LCD. The loading control system includes the aforementioned wrapping tape feeding and loading control system, a handheld PDA, a touch terminal, a control module, and a power supply. The control module receives detection data and controls the operation of the cable wrapping system 100, while the power supply provides overall system power. The host computer control system integrates a MOM management system and an industrial computer for data acquisition and process optimization. The display LCD is used to display the production status in real time.
[0155] Thus, by introducing intelligent technologies (such as machine vision, AGV, IoT, etc.), the cable wrapping system 100 can further improve the efficiency of the wrapping belt 200 conveyor belt and loading, and has advantages in the following aspects:
[0156] 1. Innovative Adaptive Cable Wrapping and Conveying Control: Real-time monitoring of the cable wrapping tape width and thickness (200mm) and precise positioning via sensors enables accurate loading and unloading. Advantages: Adapts to non-standard cables, reduces manual adjustment time, and improves loading / unloading and cable wrapping conveying efficiency.
[0157] 2. Innovations in Machine Vision-Assisted Positioning: Multimodal sensor fusion (vision + force) uses a first vision sensor 185 to identify the extraction and unloading points of the wrapping head and the capping 17, automatically correcting deviations. Secondly, a second vision sensor 50 detects the wrapping overlap rate, automatically adjusting the wrapping pitch to ensure that the wrapping pitch and overlap rate meet process requirements. Advantages: Solves the problem of manual positioning errors, especially suitable for multi-layered or complex cable structures.
[0158] 3. Innovations in Digital Process Management: Integrating a tape feeding and loading control system with a MOM (Multi-Manager) management system, the system extracts process parameters for the tape 200 from the production process, automatically selects the required tape 200, and performs parameter detection (width, thickness, etc.) to achieve process traceability and optimization. Advantages: Optimizing production parameters through data analysis reduces scrap rates.
[0159] 4. Modular Design Innovation: The structural design is more modular. The control module is responsible for the operation control and data processing of the entire device, while the data acquisition and transmission module is responsible for collecting key data during the conveyor belt process and transmitting it to the management system. It supports rapid switching between different wrapping materials (such as non-woven fabric, aluminum foil, or environmentally friendly biodegradable wrapping materials) and cable specifications. Advantages: Improves production line flexibility, adapts to multi-variety, small-batch production, and aligns with green manufacturing trends.
[0160] 5. Energy Saving and Material Optimization Innovations: Intelligent algorithms optimize the conveying and loading path of the 200-type wrapping tape, improving the conveying and loading efficiency. Advantages: Increased production efficiency;
[0161] 6. Intelligent and Automated Twin: A balance between flexible and intelligent operations (algorithm + modularization) ensures that intelligent, automated, and digital technologies significantly reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency. Suitable for large-scale standardized production.
[0162] 7. AI-driven adaptive system: Predicts tape defects through machine learning and automatically removes defective tapes.
[0163] 8. Fully automated process: From the 200mm cable wrapping tape conveyor to the loading tape, the entire process is fully automated, improving precision, flexibility, and intelligence while avoiding reliance on human experience. This is especially beneficial for the production of high-value-added cables such as high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage cables.
