Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fiberglass tank production equipment, and in particular to a fiber wiring mechanism for fiberglass tanks. Background Technology

[0002] For high-strength fiberglass tanks, fiber winding is often used. The steps are: Mandrel preparation: metal cantilever mold or detachable mold. Winding programming: spiral winding or circumferential winding according to the stress design. Resin impregnation winding: after impregnation in a resin tank, the fiber is wound onto the mandrel according to the program. Curing and demolding: demolding after curing. A fiberglass winding machine is required, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the glass fiber drawn from the wire feeding frame 1 passes through the wire inlet end wire plate of the wire trolley 2, enters the impregnation tank 3 to complete the impregnation, is then guided backward and wound onto the cantilever mold 5 after passing through the wire guide roller.

[0003] However, most existing fiberglass guide rollers are smooth rollers, and the output width of the fiberglass cable often depends on the toothed guide plate in front. However, the output width requirements for fiberglass cables wound around different specifications of fiberglass tanks also vary, and some fiberglass tanks require the fabrication of annular ribs, which also necessitates control over the output width of the fiberglass cable. Currently, the operation involves workers manually squeezing the fiberglass cable on the wire guide carriage 2 to obtain a narrow output width. This control method requires a high level of skill from the operators, is highly variable, and makes it difficult to control the production quality.

[0004] To overcome the above problems, a fiber optic tank fiber wiring mechanism is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fiber winding mechanism for fiberglass tanks, which uses a winding roller with winding grooves to replace the existing smooth roller, thereby accurately controlling the output width of the fiberglass winding and improving the winding quality.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model discloses a fiber optic tank fiber winding mechanism, which is installed at the output end of a wire winding trolley. It includes a winding roller and a locking assembly. The winding roller is horizontally supported at both ends by support seats at the output end of the wire winding trolley. A wire groove is opened in the middle of the roller surface of the winding roller. The wire groove is circumferentially opened and the width gradually changes. After the fiber optic wire is guided through the wire groove, it is wound onto the cantilever mold of the fiber optic tank. The locking assembly is located between the end of the winding roller and the support seat, which can prevent the winding roller from rotating.

[0008] Furthermore, the unfolded view of the wire groove is an isosceles trapezoid, and the sidewalls of the wire groove are provided with rounded corners.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the wire groove is a concave arc surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes an elastic ball assembly, with coaxially arranged guard plates at both ends of the ribbon roller, the elastic ball assembly mounted on the guard plates, and a protruding positioning ball at one end of the elastic ball assembly facing the support base; multiple concave ball pits are formed on the inner sidewall of the support base, and the positioning ball can be elastically pressed into the concave ball pits.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the edge of the guard plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic ball assembly also includes a cover sleeve, a compression spring, and a baffle plate. The protective plate has a through hole at the installation position of the elastic ball assembly. The inner end of the through hole is configured as a threaded hole with an increased diameter. The end of the cover sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The outer end of the through hole is a stepped hole. The baffle plate is welded into the stepped hole. The central hole of the baffle plate prevents the positioning ball from falling out completely. The compression spring is coaxially installed inside the cover sleeve. The two ends of the compression spring abut against the back of the positioning ball and the inner bottom surface of the cover sleeve, respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, the edge of the central hole of the baffle is provided with a concave arc chamfer that is adapted to the positioning ball.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model relates to a fiber winding mechanism for fiberglass tanks. By creating a guide groove in the center of the winding roller, the width of the fiberglass yarn output to the cantilever mold of the fiberglass tank is adjusted by varying the width of the groove. The addition of a locking component prevents the winding roller from rotating arbitrarily during normal operation, thus avoiding arbitrary changes in the yarn width. This fiber winding mechanism for fiberglass tanks uses a winding roller with a groove instead of a conventional smooth roller, enabling precise control of the output width of the fiberglass yarn and improving winding quality.

[0016] Furthermore, the centrally positioned isosceles trapezoidal shape of the guide groove ensures that the glass fiber lines converge symmetrically towards the center, achieving uniform line width adjustment. The concave arc surface of the guide groove pushes the glass fiber lines towards the center, resulting in a uniform distribution of the glass fiber lines. By installing the elastic ball assembly on the protective plate and creating the arc-shaped track groove and concave ball pit on the inner wall of the support base, the circumferential position of the fiber roller can be intermittently locked, allowing different guide groove positions to enter the area affecting the glass fiber lines, thus achieving stable output after adjusting the glass fiber line width. The addition of a handle facilitates manual adjustment of the circumferential locking position of the fiber roller by the operator. The addition of a compression spring to press the positioning ball ensures that the positioning ball can freely return to its original position when the handle is turned. Welding a baffle plate into the stepped hole at the outer end of the through hole reduces the machining difficulty of the through hole, facilitating its implementation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The core of this utility model is to provide a fiber winding mechanism for fiberglass tanks, which uses a winding roller with winding grooves to replace the existing smooth roller, thereby accurately controlling the output width of the fiberglass winding and improving the winding quality.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] Refer to the attached diagram. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the winding equipment for the fiber winding mechanism of the fiberglass tank body according to this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of the fiber optic tank fiber wiring mechanism of this utility model; Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the positioning ball mounting area of ​​this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the planar unfolded structure of the wire groove of this utility model.

[0027] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the fiber optic cable winding mechanism for the fiberglass tank of this utility model is located at the output end of the wire guide trolley 2, and includes a cable winding roller 4 and a locking assembly. The cable winding roller 4 is horizontally mounted on the output end of the wire guide trolley 2 via support seats at both ends. A shaft head 401 is integrally formed on both ends of the cable winding roller 4, and the shaft head 401 is inserted into the shaft hole of the support seat. A wire guide groove 402 is formed in the middle of the roller surface of the cable winding roller 4, and the width of the wire guide groove 402 gradually changes along the circumference of the roller surface. The fiberglass cable is guided through the wire guide groove 402 and then wound onto the fiberglass tank cantilever mold 5. The locking assembly is located between the end of the cable winding roller 4 and the support seat, and can prevent the cable winding roller 4 from rotating during normal operation.

[0028] By creating a guide groove 402 in the middle of the roller surface of the fiber-coated roller 4, the width of the fiber-coated cable output to the cantilever mold 5 of the fiberglass tank is adjusted by allowing the fiber-coated cable to pass through the different widths of the groove 402. The addition of the locking component prevents the fiber-coated roller 4 from rotating arbitrarily during normal operation, thus avoiding arbitrary changes in the cable width. This fiber-coated fiber-coated tank mechanism uses a fiber-coated roller with a guide groove instead of the existing smooth roller, enabling precise control of the output width of the fiber-coated cable and improving the winding quality.

[0029] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the unfolded view of the wire guide groove 402 is an isosceles trapezoid, which is centrally located in the middle of the wire guide roller 4. The isosceles trapezoid is not a full circle; a cylindrical roller surface is left between the bottom and top edges. The upper and lower edges of the sidewalls of the wire guide groove 402 are rounded. It should be noted that the width of the base of the isosceles trapezoid in the wire guide groove 402 is also smaller than the width of the glass fiber wire output from the toothed guide plate in front of the wire guide roller 4.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the wire guide groove 402 is a concave arc surface, which is symmetrically arranged about the center surface of the wire guide roller 4 in the length direction.

[0031] The unfolded shape of the guide groove 402 is an isosceles trapezoid positioned centrally, ensuring that the glass fiber cables converge symmetrically towards the center, achieving uniform adjustment of the line width. By making the bottom surface of the guide groove 402 concave, the glass fiber cables can be pushed towards the center, resulting in a uniform distribution of the glass fiber cables.

[0032] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly includes an elastic ball assembly. Coaxially arranged guard plates 403 are provided at both ends of the wire feeding roller 4. The guard plates 403 are circular discs integrally connected to the ends of the wire feeding roller 4. The elastic ball assembly is mounted on the guard plates 403, and a protruding positioning ball 8 is provided at one end of the elastic ball assembly facing the support base. Multiple concave ball pits are formed on the inner wall of the support base, allowing the positioning ball 8 to be elastically pressed into the concave ball pits.

[0033] Specifically, multiple concave spherical pits are evenly spaced along an arc-shaped track groove, which is formed on the inner wall of the support base. The depth of the arc-shaped track groove is less than that of the concave spherical pits. The center of the arc-shaped track groove coincides with the axis of the wire feeding roller 4.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a handle 404 is also fixedly connected to the edge of the guard plate 403, and the base of the handle 404 is directly welded to the edge of the guard plate 403. The top of the handle 404 is also provided with a ball head for easy gripping.

[0035] By installing the elastic ball assembly on the guard plate 403 and matching it with the arc-shaped track groove and the concave ball pit on the inner side wall of the support, the circumferential position of the fiber-laying roller 4 can be intermittently locked, thereby allowing different positions of the guide groove 402 to enter the area that functions on the fiber-laying, thus achieving stable output after the fiber-laying width is adjusted. The addition of a handle 404 facilitates manual adjustment of the circumferential locking position of the fiber-laying roller 4 by the operator.

[0036] Obviously, the locking assembly can also use a pin-type locking mechanism to lock the guard plate 403. This requires multiple pin holes arranged along an arc track on the inner wall of the support base, and a pin through hole on the guard plate 403. The circumferential locking of the wire roller 4 is achieved by inserting a pin between the guard plate 403 and the support base. Similar simple alternative methods all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic ball assembly also includes a cover sleeve 7, a compression spring 9, and a baffle plate 10. A through hole is provided on the protective plate 403 at the installation position of the elastic ball assembly. The inner end of the through hole is configured as a threaded hole with an increased diameter, and the end of the cover sleeve 7 is threaded into the threaded hole. The outer end of the through hole is a stepped hole, and the baffle plate 10 is welded into the stepped hole. The baffle plate 10 is in the shape of a circular annular washer, and its thickness is consistent with the height of the stepped hole. The central hole of the baffle plate 10 prevents the positioning ball 8 from completely falling outwards. The compression spring 9 is coaxially installed inside the cover sleeve 7, with its two ends abutting against the back of the positioning ball 8 and the inner bottom surface of the cover sleeve 7, respectively.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the edge of the central hole of the baffle 10 is provided with a concave arc chamfer that is compatible with the positioning ball 8.

[0039] By adding a compression spring 9 to press the positioning ball 8, it can be ensured that the positioning ball 8 can freely return to its original position when the handle 404 is turned. By welding a baffle 10 into the stepped hole at the outer end of the through hole, the machining difficulty of the through hole is reduced, making it easier to implement.

[0040] The working principle of the fiber winding mechanism for fiberglass tanks of this utility model is as follows: When the fiberglass winding machine is working normally, the drive unit 6 drives the cantilever mold 5 to rotate, thereby pulling the fiberglass thread. The fiberglass led out from the pay-off frame 1 passes through the wire guide plate at the inlet end of the wire guide trolley 2, enters the impregnation tank 3 to complete the impregnation, is guided backward through the toothed guide plate, and finally winds onto the cantilever mold 5 for making the fiberglass tank through the wire guide groove 402 of the winding roller 4. For example, when winding fiberglass onto the annular ribs of the fiberglass tank, it is necessary to reduce the width of the fiberglass winding. The operator manually turns the handle 404 to drive the winding roller 4 to rotate a certain angle. The positioning ball 8 slides from the original concave ball pit along the arc-shaped track groove and enters another concave ball pit for locking. At this time, the wire guide groove 402 narrows at the contact position with the fiberglass winding, thereby narrowing the width of the output fiberglass winding and stabilizing the output winding onto the annular rib position of the fiberglass tank. Correspondingly, different cantilever molds 5 can be used to produce fiberglass tanks of different specifications, and the output width of the fiberglass cable can also be adjusted by turning the handle 404.

[0041] In summary, the fiber winding mechanism for fiberglass tanks of this invention adjusts the width of the fiberglass strands output to the cantilever mold 5 by creating a guide groove 402 in the middle of the surface of the winding roller 4, and by varying the width of the groove 402. The addition of the locking component prevents the winding roller 4 from rotating arbitrarily during normal operation, thus avoiding arbitrary changes in the strand width. This fiberglass tank fiber winding mechanism uses a winding roller with a groove instead of the existing smooth roller, enabling precise control of the output width of the fiberglass strands and improving winding quality. Furthermore, the centrally located isosceles trapezoidal shape of the guide groove 402 ensures that the fiberglass strands converge symmetrically towards the center, achieving uniform width adjustment. The concave arc surface of the bottom of the guide groove 402 pushes the fiberglass strands towards the center, resulting in a uniform distribution of the fiberglass strands. By installing the elastic ball assembly on the guard plate 403 and matching it with the arc-shaped track groove and the concave ball pit on the inner side wall of the support base, the circumferential position of the fiber-coated roller 4 can be intermittently locked, thereby allowing different positions of the wire groove 402 to enter the area that functions on the fiber-coated cable, thus achieving stable output after the fiber-coated cable width is adjusted. The addition of a handle 404 facilitates manual adjustment of the circumferential locking position of the fiber-coated roller 4 by the operator. The addition of a compression spring 9 to press the positioning ball 8 ensures that the positioning ball 8 can freely return to its original position when the handle 404 is turned. The welding of the baffle 10 into the stepped hole at the outer end of the through hole reduces the machining difficulty of the through hole and facilitates its implementation.

Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.

[0043] 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.
