Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of metal mesh production, and more specifically, to an auxiliary conveying device for metal mesh production. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production of metal mesh, winding is a crucial step connecting the forming process with subsequent storage, transportation, and application. As the quality requirements for metal mesh continue to increase in fields such as building protection and industrial screening, the precision and efficiency of winding directly affect the final product quality.

[0003] Currently, in traditional metal mesh winding processes, numerous problems often arise when the formed metal mesh directly enters the winding stage. Due to factors such as uneven tension and differences in weaving techniques during the forming process, the surface flatness of the metal mesh is difficult to guarantee completely, potentially resulting in localized looseness, wrinkles, or protrusions. When metal mesh in an uneven state is wound, it is highly prone to winding skew. Once winding skewed, not only will the surface of the metal mesh roll be uneven, affecting its appearance quality, but it will also lead to uneven stress distribution within the metal mesh roll, reducing its structural stability. During subsequent transportation and storage, it is prone to loosening, deformation, or even damage. Furthermore, skewed metal mesh rolls are difficult to unroll and install accurately during use, increasing construction difficulty and material waste. Moreover, winding skewed rolls also exacerbate localized wear on the winding equipment, affecting its service life and operational stability. Therefore, developing an auxiliary conveying device that can help adjust the metal mesh to a flat state before winding and avoid winding skewed rolls has become the key to solving the metal mesh winding quality problem and improving production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide an auxiliary conveying device for metal mesh production, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that the surface flatness of metal mesh is difficult to be fully guaranteed due to factors such as uneven tension and differences in weaving process during the forming process, and that there may be local looseness, wrinkles or protrusions.

[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a receiving auxiliary conveying device for metal mesh production, comprising: The equipment rack and the passage cavity, wherein the passage cavity is formed within the equipment rack; A support frame and a conveying assembly, wherein the support frame is fixed on the equipment frame and the conveying assembly is disposed within the equipment frame; A flattening assembly, wherein the flattening assembly is disposed in the equipment rack; The conveying assembly includes a pair of rectangular openings, which are formed at the top and bottom of the equipment frame. Several conveying rollers are rotatably connected inside each rectangular opening. A drive wheel that is electrically driven to rotate is provided on the support. One of the conveying rollers has an annular groove on its surface.

[0006] As a further technical solution, a driven wheel is installed in the annular groove, and the driving wheel and the driven wheel are connected by a belt drive. One end of each of the several conveying rollers located at the top is provided with a transmission gear.

[0007] As a further technical solution, a pair of idler wheels are provided in the rectangular opening, and the idler wheels are meshed between adjacent transmission gears. The top and bottom ends of the equipment frame are provided with elongated holes, and several straightening wheels are rotatably connected to the top ends of the equipment frame. The straightening wheels pass through the elongated holes and are located in the passage cavity.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the flattening assembly includes several crossbars, which are respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the equipment frame. Each crossbar has a set of movable rods on its surface, and each set of movable rods has three rods.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the movable rods are all movably mounted inside the equipment frame, and each movable rod is fitted with a spring. One end of each set of movable rods is connected to a pressure plate, and the pressure plate is located in the passage cavity.

[0010] As a further technical solution, a cutting assembly is also included, which is disposed on the equipment frame. The cutting assembly includes a top frame, which is fixed to the top of the equipment frame, and a cutting blade holder is disposed on the top frame via a vertical linear drive.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the cutting blade holder is movably mounted inside the equipment frame, and a boss is provided on the bottom surface of the cavity. A cutting groove is opened on the surface of the boss, and the cutting groove is located directly below the cutting blade holder.

[0012] As a further technical solution, both ends of the pressure plate have an upward arc-shaped bending transition structure, and the bottom surface of the pressure plate is a smooth structural surface.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows: In this disclosure, the conveying assembly achieves constant-speed conveying and straightening of the metal mesh through the cooperation of a drive wheel, a driven wheel, a conveying roller, a transmission gear, and an idler wheel. The drive wheel drives the driven wheel and the conveying roller to rotate, ensuring that the metal mesh moves forward at a stable speed. The transmission gear and the idler wheel enable multiple rollers to rotate synchronously, avoiding wrinkles caused by differences in rotational speed. The straightening wheel generates lateral thrust on the edges of the metal mesh, correcting deviations in real time and keeping the metal mesh centered on its conveying trajectory. This solves the problem of offset caused by uneven tension during metal mesh conveying and ensures the straightness of the conveying process. Attached Figure Description

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it illustrates an auxiliary conveying device for metal mesh production according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising: The equipment rack 1 and the passage cavity 2 are formed inside the equipment rack 1; The bracket 3 and the conveying assembly 4 are provided, wherein the bracket 3 is fixed on the equipment frame 1 and the conveying assembly 4 is disposed inside the equipment frame 1. Flattening component 5, which is disposed in the equipment frame 1; The conveying assembly 4 includes a pair of rectangular openings 4-1, which are located at the top and bottom of the equipment frame 1. Several conveying rollers 4-2 are rotatably connected within each rectangular opening 4-1. A drive wheel 4-3, which is electrically driven to rotate, is provided on the support 3. One of the conveying rollers 4-2 has an annular groove 4-4 on its surface. A driven wheel 4-5 is installed in the annular groove 4-4. The drive wheel 4-3 and the driven wheel 4-5 are connected by a belt drive. One end of each of the several conveying rollers 4-2 located at the top is provided with a transmission gear 4-6. A pair of idler wheels 4-7 are provided within the rectangular opening 4-1. The idler wheels 4-7 are meshed between adjacent transmission gears 4-6. Long holes 4-8 are provided at both the top and bottom ends of the equipment frame 1. Several straightening wheels 4-9 are rotatably connected at both ends of the top of the equipment frame 1. The straightening wheels 4-9 pass through the long holes 4-8 and are located in the passage cavity 2.

[0023] In some examples, to achieve constant-speed conveying and maintaining the correct alignment of the metal mesh, a conveying assembly 4 is designed. This assembly includes rectangular openings 4-1 at the top and bottom of the equipment frame 1, through which several conveying rollers 4-2 are rotatably connected by bearings, forming a conveying channel with upper and lower clamping. A drive gear 4-6 at one end of the top conveying roller 4-2 meshes with an idler gear 4-7 to ensure synchronous rotation of the multiple rollers and prevent wrinkles in the metal mesh due to speed differences. The drive wheel 4-3 is driven by a motor, and its rotation is transmitted to the conveying roller 4-2 via a belt and a driven wheel 4-5 within an annular groove 4-4 on the surface of the conveying roller 4-2, thus achieving a stable conveying speed.

[0024] The elongated holes 4-8 at both ends of the equipment frame 1 provide space for the straightening rollers 4-9 to move. The straightening rollers 4-9 are symmetrically distributed, with their axes perpendicular to the conveying direction. When the metal mesh passes through the passage cavity 2, the straightening rollers 4-9 exert lateral thrust on the edges of the metal mesh, keeping it centered on the conveying trajectory. For example, if the metal mesh deviates due to uneven winding tension, the lateral pressure of the straightening rollers 4-9 can correct the deviation in real time, ensuring that the metal mesh always moves along the axis of the conveying rollers 4-2. This keeps the metal mesh straight during conveying, laying the foundation for subsequent flattening and cutting processes and avoiding processing errors caused by conveying deviation.

[0025] like Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, the flattening assembly 5 in this embodiment includes several crossbars 5-1, which are respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the equipment frame 1. A set of movable rods 5-2 is disposed on the surface of the crossbars 5-1, and there are 3 movable rods 5-2 in each set. The movable rods 5-2 are all movably fitted inside the equipment frame 1. A spring 5-3 is fitted on each movable rod 5-2. One end of each set of movable rods 5-2 is connected to a pressing plate 5-4, which is located in the passage cavity 2.

[0026] In some examples, a flattening assembly 5 is designed to achieve efficient flattening of the metal mesh wrinkles. This assembly includes crossbars 5-1 distributed at the top and bottom of the equipment frame 1, serving as a connecting base. Each group of three movable rods 5-2 on the surface of the crossbars 5-1 are vertically inserted into the equipment frame 1, and springs 5-3 fitted onto the rods provide elastic thrust. The lower end of the movable rods 5-2 is connected to a rectangular, smooth, and flat pressing plate 5-4, located in the passage cavity 2 and perpendicular to the metal mesh conveying path. When the metal mesh passes between the pressing plates 5-4, the elastic force of the springs 5-3 causes the pressing plates 5-4 to press tightly against the upper and lower surfaces of the metal mesh, flattening the wrinkles through continuous pressure.

[0027] The elastic deformation of spring 5-3 can adapt to metal meshes of different thicknesses: for thinner meshes, spring 5-3 compresses more to maintain moderate pressure; for thicker meshes, spring 5-3 compresses less to avoid excessive pressure that could deform the mesh. The distribution of the three sets of movable rods 5-2 forms multi-point support, ensuring that the pressure plate 5-4 is subjected to uniform force in the width direction, preventing incomplete leveling due to insufficient local pressure. For example, when the metal mesh develops wavy wrinkles due to changes in winding tension, the continuous pressure of the pressure plate 5-4 can gradually flatten them. Combined with the forward drive of the conveyor roller 4-2, this keeps the leveled metal mesh flat, improving the neatness of subsequent winding and product quality.

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment also includes a cutting assembly 6, which is disposed on the equipment frame 1. The cutting assembly 6 includes a top frame 6-1, which is fixed to the top of the equipment frame 1. A cutting blade holder 6-2 is disposed on the top frame 6-1 and connected by a vertical linear drive. The cutting blade holder 6-2 is movably fitted inside the equipment frame 1. A boss 6-3 is provided on the bottom surface of the cavity 2. A cutting groove 6-4 is formed on the surface of the boss 6-3 and is located directly below the cutting blade holder 6-2.

[0029] In some examples, to achieve timely cutting of the metal mesh upon reaching the required winding amount, a cutting assembly 6 is designed. This assembly includes a top frame 6-1 fixed to the top of the equipment frame 1. A vertical linear drive device (such as a cylinder or electric push rod) is connected to the cutting blade holder 6-2, which can drive the blade holder to move up and down along the vertical guide rail of the equipment frame 1. A cutting groove 6-4 is formed on the surface of the boss 6-3 on the bottom surface of the cavity 2, and its position is aligned directly below the cutting blade holder 6-2, forming the cutting reference during cutting. When the metal mesh needs to be cut, the control system triggers the linear drive device, the cutting blade holder 6-2 moves down rapidly, and the blade cuts into the cutting groove 6-4, cutting the metal mesh.

[0030] The depth of the groove 6-4 matches the blade thickness, ensuring the metal mesh is completely severed during cutting and preventing burrs or incomplete cuts. The rigid support of the boss 6-3 prevents displacement of the metal mesh during cutting, ensuring precise cutting position. For example, in scenarios where the metal mesh needs to be cut to a fixed length, the conveying assembly 4 first conveys the mesh to the designated position, the flattening assembly 5 ensures a flat cut, and then the cutting blade holder 6-2 presses down to complete the cut.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the pressure plate 5-4 have an upward arc-shaped bending transition structure, and the bottom surface of the pressure plate 5-4 is a smooth structural surface.

[0032] In some examples, the ends of the pressing plate 5-4 are curved upwards with a smooth bottom surface. This synergistic effect of surface treatment improves the smoothness and protection of the metal mesh flattening process. The curved ends typically have rounded radii, extending upwards from the bottom surface to form a smooth transition. This avoids stress concentration when the edges of the pressing plate 5-4 come into contact with the metal mesh, preventing the wires from being scratched or cut.

[0033] In actual use: Fix the equipment frame 1 to the production line. The metal mesh passes through the passage cavity 2, so that the edge of the metal mesh contacts the straightening wheel 4-9. Start the electric drive device of the drive wheel 4-3 on the bracket 3. The drive wheel 4-3 drives the driven wheel 4-5 to rotate through the belt, which in turn rotates the conveyor roller 4-2, driving the metal mesh forward. During the conveying process, the transmission gear 4-6 of the top conveyor roller 4-2 is linked through the idler wheel 4-7 to ensure that the multiple rollers rotate synchronously. When the metal mesh moves in the passage cavity 2, the movable rod 5-2 of the flattening component 5, under the action of the spring 5-3, makes the pressing plate 5-4 press against the upper and lower surfaces of the metal mesh, flattening the wrinkles. When the metal mesh is conveyed to the designated position and needs to be cut, start the vertical linear drive device of the cutting component 6. The cutting blade 6-2 moves down, and the blade cuts into the cutting groove 6-4 of the boss 6-3 to cut the metal mesh, completing the winding auxiliary conveying operation.
