AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing automated production technologies, the flexibility and elasticity of hoses lead to large errors during the feeding process. Manual parameter adjustment is inefficient, and automatic roller methods have large errors and require manual intervention, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient automated production.

Method used

A dynamic tension system consisting of counterweights and rollers is used. The tightness of the hose is automatically adjusted by the cooperation of the drive wheel and the pressure wheel. Combined with the braking mechanism, the rotation of the feeding disc is controlled to form a natural transition bending angle and uniform gravity distribution, reducing friction loss and preventing loosening.

Benefits of technology

It significantly reduces the error rate of the feeding mechanism, improves the smoothness and reliability of feeding, reduces frictional loss, and avoids errors caused by manual intervention and equipment inertial rotation.
