Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of equipment for carbon fiber rod processing, specifically relating to a core mold feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of carbon fiber rods (such as fishing rods and arrow shafts), a release agent needs to be applied to the surface of the mandrel (mold). The cut carbon fiber cloth is then laid on the mandrel in the designed sequence and rolled up. The rolled mandrel is placed in a curing oven and heated and cured at a set temperature (usually 80-120℃) for a set time, causing the resin to cross-link and form a fishing rod blank. In existing technologies, to ensure the carbon fiber cloth bonds to the mandrel, adhesive is applied to the carbon cloth or mandrel, and then the joint between the carbon fiber cloth and the rod is ironed flat manually or mechanically. After the carbon cloth and mandrel are fixed, the rod is rolled up. The applicant has improved the rolling process of the carbon fiber cloth and mandrel by adding a low-melting-point adhesive to the release agent. The low-melting-point adhesive is applied to the mandrel together with the release agent, eliminating the need for separate adhesive application to the carbon cloth or mandrel, thus simplifying the rolling process. However, the existing mandrel conveying equipment cannot meet the requirements of the new process, limiting the efficiency of automated production. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a core mold feeding machine that, while feeding the core mold to the rolling equipment, melts the low-melting-point adhesive on the surface of the core mold to prepare for subsequent bonding of carbon fiber, thereby improving the efficiency of bonding the core mold and carbon fiber.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: The core mold feeding machine includes a frame and a core mold placement mechanism mounted on the frame. The core mold placement mechanism includes a conveyor belt with baffles and three sets of conveyor belt pulleys supporting the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt pulleys are arranged in a triangular pattern. The conveyor belt mounted on the conveyor belt pulleys has an incline section and a horizontal section. The last conveyor belt pulley of the horizontal section is connected to a drive motor. A core mold guide plate is provided on the frame at the end of the horizontal section. The baffles are arranged in parallel on the conveyor belt to create multiple conveying stations. A low-temperature heating furnace is provided above the horizontal section to heat the core molds of the horizontal section.

[0005] A support plate, level with the horizontal section of the conveyor belt, is installed on the frame on one side of the horizontal section of the conveyor belt.

[0006] The core mold placement mechanism is equipped with a core mold feeding mechanism at the front side for feeding core molds to the core mold placement mechanism. The core mold feeding mechanism includes an inclined material bin bottom plate, a fixed plate that is separate from or integrated with the material bin bottom plate, and an adjustable plate that is separate from the material bin bottom plate. The fixed plate includes a fixed side plate and a fixed bottom plate, and the fixed side plate is connected to the frame. The adjustable plate includes an adjustable side plate and an adjustable bottom plate. Both the fixed bottom plate and the adjustable bottom plate are parallel to the material bin bottom plate. A material distribution plate is provided on the inner wall of the fixed side plate and the adjustable side plate. There is a gap between the material distribution plate and the fixed bottom plate and the adjustable bottom plate for the core mold to pass through.

[0007] The adjustable plate is connected to the side plate slider, and the side plate slider moves along the side plate slide rail.

[0008] A screening mechanism is installed on the frame on both sides of the inclined section of the conveyor belt. The screening mechanism includes a screening adjustment plate and an adjustment module. The screening adjustment plate is connected to the slider of the adjustment module.

[0009] The screen material adjusting plate is provided with multiple V-shaped grooves.

[0010] The low-temperature heating furnace is a low-temperature tunnel furnace.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A low-temperature heating furnace is installed above the mandrel placement mechanism. During the mandrel's stay in the horizontal section, the low-melting-point adhesive on it melts upon heating, becoming sticky and able to adhere smoothly to the carbon fiber cloth in subsequent processes. The mandrel feeding mechanism can accommodate mandrels of different lengths for feeding the mandrel placement mechanism, and the screening adjustment plate on the mandrel placement mechanism can screen mandrels of different thicknesses, accommodating mandrels of different diameters. The mandrel feeding machine of this invention can automatically supply mandrels for carbon fiber rod winding processing, improving the level of automation in production. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The core mold feeding machine includes a frame 1 and a core mold placement mechanism 3 mounted on the frame 1. The core mold placement mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt 31 with baffles 32 and three sets of conveyor belt pulleys 33 supporting the conveyor belt 31. The conveyor belt pulleys 33 are triangularly distributed. The conveyor belt 31, which is fitted onto the conveyor belt pulleys 33, has an inclined section 311 and a horizontal section 312. The last conveyor belt pulley 33 of the horizontal section 312 is connected to a drive motor 34. A core mold guide plate 2 is provided on the frame 1 at the end of the horizontal section 312. The baffles 32 are arranged in parallel on the conveyor belt 31, creating multiple conveying stations. A low-temperature heating furnace 4 is provided above the horizontal section 312 to heat the core molds of the horizontal section 312. The low-temperature heating furnace 4 can be a low-temperature tunnel furnace, which has low processing costs and can meet the requirements for melting low-melting-point colloids.

[0019] A support plate 35, which is horizontal to the conveyor belt 31, is provided on the frame 1 on one side of the horizontal section 312 of the conveyor belt 31. The support plate 35 supports the end of the long core mold 7, so that the core mold placement mechanism 3 can accommodate a wider range of core molds.

[0020] In this embodiment, a screening mechanism 6 is provided on the frame 1 on both sides of the ramp section 311 of the conveyor belt wheel 33. The screening mechanism 6 includes a screening adjustment plate 61 and an adjustment module 62. The screening adjustment plate 61 is connected to the slider of the adjustment module 62.

[0021] The screening adjustment plate 61 is provided with multiple V-shaped grooves. Mandrels falling into the V-shaped grooves can enter between the baffles 32 of the conveyor belt 31 and move towards the horizontal section 312 under the push of the baffles 32, while mandrels not falling into the V-shaped grooves fall into the hopper of the feeding mechanism. The position of the screening adjustment plate 61 can be adjusted by the adjustment module 62, which includes a lead screw 621 and a module slider 622. The screening adjustment plate 61 is connected to the module slider 622. By rotating the lead screw 621 through the handwheel 623, the module slider 622 is driven to move, thereby adjusting the position of the screening adjustment plate 61 so that the position of the V-shaped grooves matches the rods of different thicknesses.

[0022] The core mold placement mechanism 3 has a core mold feeding mechanism 5 on its front side for feeding core molds to the core mold placement mechanism 3. The core mold feeding mechanism 5 includes an inclined material bin bottom plate 51, a fixed plate 52 that is separate from or integrated with the material bin bottom plate 51, and an adjustable plate 53 that is separate from the material bin bottom plate 51.

The adjustable plate 53 includes an adjustable side plate 531 and an adjustable bottom plate 532. The fixed bottom plate 522 and the adjustable bottom plate 532 are both parallel to the material bin bottom plate 51. A material distribution plate 54 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed side plate 521 and the adjustable side plate 531. There is a gap 55 between the material distribution plate 54 and the fixed bottom plate 522 and the adjustable bottom plate 532 for the core mold to pass through. The adjustable plate 53 is connected to the side plate slider 56, which moves along the side plate slide rail 57. The position of the side plate slider 56 on the side plate slide rail 57 is adjusted according to the length of the core mold 7, thereby adjusting the distance between the adjustable plate 53 and the fixed side plate 521 to meet the feeding needs of core molds of different lengths. The core mold 7 placed on the bottom plate 51 of the hopper can move along the inclined plane towards the core mold placement mechanism 3. The inner walls of the fixed side plate 521 and the adjustable side plate 531 are provided with a material distribution plate 54 to block the sliding core molds. Only a small number of core molds can pass through the gap 55 between the material distribution plate 54 and the fixed bottom plate 522 and the adjustable bottom plate 532, avoiding a large number of core molds reaching the conveyor belt 31 at the same time and affecting the normal screening and feeding.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
