Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water hose production technology, specifically to a water hose production color line centering and correction device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of water hoses, the colored lines on the hoses need to be kept centered in order to ensure proper winding and printing, thereby guaranteeing the pass rate of water hose production.

[0003] However, during the production of water hoses with colored lines through hot bonding (hot vulcanization), the colored lines are prone to shifting. Currently, most of the time, manual adjustment and correction are used to center the colored lines. This not only has the problem of low correction efficiency, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of manual adjustment and correction, which can easily lead to a low pass rate in water hose production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in ensuring the accuracy of correction in the current method of manually adjusting and correcting the color line of the water hose during the hot bonding process of water hose production. A color line centering and correction device for water hose production is designed to solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model designs a color line centering and correction device for water hose production, which includes the following structural configuration:

[0007] A carrier plate having opposing first and second surfaces;

[0008] A drive unit is disposed on the first surface of the carrier plate;

[0009] At least two rotary drive rollers are provided, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the width direction of the carrier plate. One end of the rotary drive roller is rotatably disposed on the second surface of the carrier plate and is driven to rotate by the driving device. A correction area for placing the water hose is formed between the rotary drive rollers, and the surface of the rotary drive roller is in contact with the surface of the water hose.

[0010] A vision camera is located above the rotating drive roller and has a vision detection area. The vision camera detects the position of the color line on the water belt in the correction area within the vision detection area. The vision camera feeds back the position detection result of the color line to the drive device to drive the rotating drive roller to adjust the position of the water belt so that the color line remains centered.

[0011] Specifically, a correction zone for placing the water hose is formed between two rotating drive rollers located on both sides of the width direction of the carrier plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a water hose production color line centering and correction device: the carrier plate is configured as a hollow structure.

[0013] Furthermore, a water hose production color line centering and correction device: the driving device is configured as a servo motor.

[0014] Furthermore, a color line centering and correction device for water hose production: the driving device is disposed on a first surface and its output end extends into the interior of the carrier plate; one end of the rotating driving roller is rotatably disposed on a second surface and extends into the interior of the carrier plate; the driving device and the rotating driving roller are driven by a belt disposed inside the carrier plate.

[0015] Furthermore, in a water-sealing production color line centering and correction device, the number of rotating drive rollers is set to 2n, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. That is, the number of rotating drive rollers is set to an even number.

[0016] Furthermore, a color line centering and correction device for water hose production includes 2n rotating drive rollers symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carrier plate along its width and sequentially arranged along its length. Specifically, the length direction of the carrier plate corresponds to the length direction of the water hose, and the width direction of the carrier plate corresponds to the radial direction of the water hose.

[0017] Furthermore, a water hose production color line centering and correction device: the surface of the rotary drive roller is also provided with a three-dimensional rotating thread for contacting the surface of the water hose.

[0018] Specifically, the rotary drive roller is made of rubber, and its surface features a three-dimensional rotating thread that increases the friction between the roller and the water hose surface. This facilitates the rotation of the water hose within the correction zone, adjusting the position of the color line offset on the water hose and keeping it centered. The three-dimensional rotating thread can be molded from rubber into a three-dimensional rotating thread structure, which, upon rotation, causes the object (water hose) in contact with the three-dimensional rotating thread to reciprocate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention relates to a color line centering and correction device for hose production. It solves the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing correction accuracy associated with manual adjustment of the color line, thus ensuring the efficiency and pass rate of hose production. Specifically, when the color line deviates during the hot vulcanization process, a vision camera calculates the deviation based on the distance of the deviation within its visual detection area and feeds this calculation back to the servo motor (drive device). The servo motor then drives a rotating drive roller to rotate. The hose, through friction with the rotating drive roller, deviates in the opposite direction, thereby centering the deviated color line. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment 1 designs a color line centering and correction device for water hose production. The correction device includes the following structural configuration:

[0031] Carrier plate 1, which is configured as a hollow structure, and carrier plate 1 also has opposing first surface 11 and second surface 12;

[0032] A drive device 2 is configured as a servo motor, the drive device 2 is disposed on the first surface 11 of the carrier plate 1 and its output end extends into the interior of the carrier plate 1;

[0033] At least two rotary drive rollers 3 are provided, which are respectively provided on both sides of the width direction of the carrier plate 1. One end of the rotary drive roller 3 is rotatably provided on the second surface 12 of the carrier plate 1 and extends into the interior of the carrier plate 1. The rotary drive roller 3 is driven to rotate by the drive device 2 (specifically, the drive device 2 and the rotary drive roller 3 are transmitted through a belt provided inside the carrier plate 1). A correction area 5 for placing the water hose 6 is formed between the two rotary drive rollers 3 provided on both sides of the width direction of the carrier plate 1. The surface of the rotary drive roller 3 is also provided with a three-dimensional rotary thread 31 for contacting the surface of the water hose 6.

[0034] And a vision camera 4, which is located above the rotary drive roller 3, has a vision detection area 41 that partially overlaps with the correction area 5. The vision camera 4 detects the position of the color line 61 on the water belt 6 in the correction area 5 within the vision detection area 41. The vision camera 4 feeds back the position detection result of the color line 61 to the drive device 2 to drive the rotary drive roller 3 to adjust the position of the water belt 6 so that the color line 61 is kept in the center.

[0035] Preferably, in the above embodiment 1, the number of rotating drive rollers 3 is set to 2n, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, the number of rotating drive rollers 3 is set to an even number. These rotating drive rollers 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width direction of the carrier plate 1 and arranged sequentially along the length direction of the carrier plate 1.

[0036] Specifically, the water hose production color line centering and correction device designed in Embodiment 1 above can solve the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in ensuring correction accuracy in the manual adjustment and correction of water hose color lines, and can ensure the efficiency and pass rate of water hose production.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, during the hot vulcanization process of the water belt 6, when the color line 61 deviates to the left, the visual camera 4 calculates the offset based on the distance of the deflection of the color line 61 within its visual detection area 41 and feeds it back to the servo motor 2. The servo motor 2 then drives the rotating drive roller 3 to rotate to the right. The water belt 6 deviates to the right due to the friction between it and the rotating drive roller 3 (rubber roller), thereby causing the color line 61 to tend to be centered.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, during the hot vulcanization process of the water belt 6, when the color line 61 deviates to the right, the visual camera 4 calculates the offset based on the distance of the deflection of the color line 61 within its visual detection area 41 and feeds it back to the servo motor 2. The servo motor 2 then drives the rotating drive roller 3 to rotate to the left. The water belt 6 deviates to the left due to the friction between it and the rotating drive roller 3 (rubber roller), so that the color line 61 tends to be centered.

[0039] This utility model designs a color line centering and correction device for water hose production. It utilizes the high intelligence of the vision system and the reliability of the servo motor to form a complete closed-loop control device. Using this device, color line correction is performed during water hose production without the need for long-term manual tracking of color line deviation. This device automatically corrects the deviation, overcoming the problems of low efficiency and low accuracy of manual correction. It ensures the high efficiency of water hose production and avoids the problem of low water hose production qualification rate caused by color line deviation.

[0040] The above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
