[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this application provides a rebar capping device, which includes a rebar fixing mechanism 1, a protective cap conveying mechanism 2, and a capping mechanism 3. The rebar fixing mechanism 1 includes a fixing component 11 and a positioning component 12. The positioning component 12 can position the rebar so that the rebar thread is in a first preset position. The fixing component 11 can fix the rebar positioned by the positioning component 12. The protective cap conveying mechanism 2 includes a vibrating plate 21 and a conveying component 22. The vibrating plate 21 is configured to place the protective cap on the conveying component 22 after sorting it, so that the cap opening of the protective cap on the conveying component 22 faces the rebar thread in the first preset position. The conveying component 22 can convey the protective cap to a second preset position. The capping mechanism 3 can grab the protective cap in the second preset position and cover the rebar thread in the first preset position with the protective cap.

[0039] When installing the protective cap, the steel bar wire end can be positioned at the first preset position by the positioning component 12 and secured by the fixing component 11. Then, the protective cap is arranged by the vibrating plate 21 and placed on the conveying component 22, and then conveyed to the second preset position by the conveying component 22. The capping mechanism 3 then grabs the protective cap at the second preset position and covers it on the steel bar wire end at the first preset position. Then, the restriction of the fixing component 11 can be released. This steel bar capping device arranges the protective caps in an orderly manner by the vibrating plate 21 and automatically transports them by the conveying component 22. Then, the capping mechanism 3 automatically puts the cap on, which improves the efficiency of the capping process and reduces production costs.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the rebar capping device includes a frame 4, a rebar fixing mechanism 1, a protective cap conveying mechanism 2, and a capping mechanism 3, all of which are mounted on the frame 4, making the frame 4 the installation base.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing component 11 includes a mounting base with a plurality of support rollers 111 rotatably mounted on it. The support rollers 111 are arranged horizontally in a direction approaching or away from a first preset position. The support rollers 111 support the reinforcing bar, and when the reinforcing bar is placed on the support rollers 111, the end of the reinforcing bar's wire can be conveyed to the first preset position. Exemplarily, the support rollers 111 can be, but are not limited to, U-shaped or V-shaped wheels. Furthermore, the fixing component 11 also includes a clamping drive 112, mounted on the mounting base. The output end of the clamping drive 112 is provided with a clamping plate 113, located above the support rollers 111. The clamping drive 112 drives the clamping plate 113 to rise and fall, thereby clamping or releasing the reinforcing bar supported by the support rollers 111, ensuring the stability of the reinforcing bar during capping, minimizing the movement of the reinforcing bar's wire, and ensuring stable capping. Exemplarily, the clamping drive 112 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning component 12 includes a positioning drive 121 and a blocking plate 122. The positioning drive 121 is fixed to the frame 4, and the blocking plate 122 is disposed at the output end of the positioning drive 121. The positioning drive 121 can drive the blocking plate 122 to move to or away from the first preset position. Thus, when the blocking plate 122 is at the first preset position, the rebar thread of the reinforcing bar on the fixing component 11 can abut against the blocking plate 122, thereby positioning the rebar thread at the first preset position for easy subsequent capping. In the current embodiment, the positioning drive 121 drives the blocking plate 122 to move vertically. It is understood that in some other alternative embodiments, the positioning drive 121 can also drive the blocking plate 122 to move horizontally. Exemplarily, the positioning drive 121 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0043] To improve the stability of the movement of the blocking plate 122, reduce its swaying, and reduce the possibility that the steel wire ends cannot reach the blocking plate 122, the positioning assembly 12 also includes a guide fixing seat 124. The guide fixing seat 124 is set on the frame 4, and a guide seat 123 is set on the guide fixing seat 124. The guide seat 123 is set with a sliding groove. The blocking plate 122 slides on the guide seat 123 through the sliding groove, thereby guiding the movement of the blocking plate 122 through the guide seat 123.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the rebar fixing mechanism 1 further includes a feeding component 13, which is located on opposite sides of the positioning component 12 with the fixing component 11. The feeding component 13 can transport the rebar through the fixing component 11 to the positioning component 12 for positioning. In the current embodiment, the feeding assembly 13 includes an active conveying roller. It is understood that the active conveying roller is connected to the output end of the active conveying component. The top surface of the active conveying roller and the top surface of the support roller 111 are on the same straight line. When the rebar is placed on the active conveying roller, the active conveying component drives the active conveying roller to rotate, conveying the rebar to the support roller 111, allowing the rebar to move towards a first preset position supported by the support roller 111. During this process, the positioning drive component 121 drives the blocking plate 122 to move to the first preset position. When the rebar tip hits the blocking plate 122, the active conveying component stops driving the active conveying roller, and the rebar stops being conveyed. Subsequently, the pressing drive component 112 drives the pressing plate 113 to descend, pressing the rebar onto the support roller 111. Then, the positioning drive component 121 drives the blocking plate 122 away from the first preset position, completing the rebar fixing operation. In other words, the first preset position is located on the path of the active conveying roller conveying the rebar.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the vibratory feeder 21 is mounted on the frame 4. The vibratory feeder 21 is existing technology, and its structure will not be described in detail. The outlet of the vibratory feeder 21 is provided with a slide 23, through which the protective cap inside the vibratory feeder 21 can be moved to the conveying assembly 22.

[0046] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the conveying assembly 22 includes a conveying drive 221 and a cap receiving seat 222. The cap receiving seat 222 is disposed at the output end of the conveying drive 221. The conveying drive 221 drives the cap receiving seat 222 to move between the vibrating plate 21 and a second preset position, so that after receiving the protective cap from the vibrating plate 21, the cap receiving seat 222 is moved to the second preset position to wait for the cap-attaching mechanism 3 to grab the protective cap. The cap receiving seat 222 is provided with a fixing part, which can fix the protective cap. Exemplarily, the conveying drive 221 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder. In the current embodiment, the second preset position is located between the first preset position and the cap-attaching mechanism 3. More specifically, the fixing part is a fixing groove 223 disposed on the cap receiving seat 222. The groove opening of the fixing groove 223 is disposed on the upper end surface of the cap receiving seat 222, so that when the cap receiving seat 222 moves below the slide 23, it is convenient to receive the protective cap. In addition, the fixing groove 223 passes through the side of the cap holder 222 away from the first preset position, so that the cap-upping mechanism 3 can grab the protective cap from this side. After the cap-upping mechanism 3 grabs the protective cap from this side and detaches from the cap holder 222 at the second preset position, it can push the protective cap directly onto the end of the rebar without adjusting the position of the protective cap.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, in order to cooperate with the cap holder 222, in some embodiments, the capping mechanism 3 is arranged opposite to the rebar fixing mechanism 1. The capping mechanism 3 includes a capping drive member 31, which is mounted on the frame 4. The output end of the capping drive member 31 is provided with a gripper 32. The gripper 32 includes multiple teeth that can move closer or further apart from each other, so that the edge of the protective cap can be gripped by the multiple teeth. After the conveying drive member 221 drives the cap holder 222 to move from the vibrating plate 21 to the second preset position, the capping drive member 31 drives the gripper 32 to move. Upon reaching the second preset position, the protective cap is grasped from the cap holder 222. Then, the gripper 32 is driven to retract, and the conveying drive 221 drives the cap holder 222 from the second preset position toward the vibrating plate 21 to receive the next protective cap. Once the cap holder 222 is away from the second preset position, the cap-attaching drive 31 drives the gripper 32 to move horizontally from the second preset position toward the rebar thread end at the first preset position, pushing the protective cap onto the rebar thread end. Then, the gripper 32 resets, and the pressing drive 112 drives the pressing plate 113 to reset, completing the cap-attaching operation. Because the second preset position is located between the first preset position and the cap-attaching mechanism 3, the movement distance of the gripper 32 can be reduced. Exemplarily, the cap-attaching drive 31 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder. In some alternative embodiments, the output end of the upper cap drive 31 may further include an adjustment drive 33, with a gripper 32 disposed at the output end of the adjustment drive 33. The adjustment drive 33 can drive the gripper 32 to rise and fall, thereby enabling adjustment of the gripper 32 in the height direction. Fine adjustments can be made when there is a height misalignment between the gripper 32 and the rebar thread. Exemplarily, the adjustment drive 33 may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
