[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a composite production line winding trolley and intelligent warehouse automatic docking system, comprising: Lineside warehouse 1, docked with winding trolley 13; The vehicle entry unit includes a vehicle entry waiting position 2, a first vehicle entry rotating position 3, a vehicle entry intermediate position 4, and a second vehicle entry rotating position 5, which are sequentially connected along a first direction. The vehicle entry waiting position 2 is connected to the line-side warehouse 1. The vehicle dispatching unit includes a first dispatching rotating position 8, a dispatching intermediate position 9, a second dispatching rotating position 10, and a dispatching waiting position 12, which are sequentially connected along a first direction (the extension direction of the production line). The dispatching waiting position 12 is connected to the line-side warehouse 1. The winding unit includes a first winding position 7 and a second winding position 11. When the winding trolley 13 is transported to the first winding position 7 or the second winding position 11, it winds up the product. The first roll take-up position 7 is aligned with the first exit rotation position 8 and the second entry rotation position 5 along the second direction; the second roll take-up position 11 is aligned with the first entry rotation position 3 and the second exit rotation position 10 along the second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0023] In one embodiment, the winding trolley 13 employs a track-walking mechanism (track trolley). It is understood that the bottom of the track trolley is equipped with multiple sets of rollers driven by a geared motor, a common structure in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Specifically, a first track is connected between the vehicle entry waiting position 2 and the line-side warehouse 1, a second track is provided on the vehicle entry waiting position 2, a third track is connected between the vehicle entry waiting position 2 and the first vehicle entry rotation position 3, and a fourth track is provided on the vehicle entry intermediate position 4.

[0025] Specifically, a fifth track is provided on the middle departure position 9, a sixth track is provided on the departure waiting position 12, and a seventh track is connected between the second departure rotation position 10 and the departure waiting position 12. Specifically, the first volume has an eighth track at position 7, and the second volume has a ninth track at position 11.

[0026] Specifically, the first car-entry rotating position 3, the second car-entry rotating position 5, the first car-exit rotating position 8, and the second car-exit rotating position 10 all include a rotating disk and a docking track disposed on the rotating disk. The rotating disk can be used to switch the position of the docking track along a first direction or a second direction. The rotating disk is supported by a slewing bearing and driven to rotate by a geared motor via gear transmission.

[0027] It should be noted that the rotating disk has a circular or polygonal disk body, usually made of steel structure or cast steel parts, possessing sufficient strength and rigidity to support the weight of the trolley and the products. It is equipped with a slewing bearing: located at the center of the disk body, used to support rotation and ensure smooth rotation, driven by a geared motor and gear transmission mechanism.

[0028] The winding trolley 13 adopts a track trolley structure, and with the setting of the first to ninth tracks, it realizes precise transportation and smooth docking of the trolley between various workstations. The rotating position, by setting a rotary disk and docking track, can flexibly realize direction switching, ensuring the accurate flow of the winding trolley 13 between different paths.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first exit rotation position 8 and the second exit rotation position 10 are respectively connected to the defective trolley exit station. When the entire roll of products is defective, the winding trolley 13 can be directly diverted to the manual processing area, thereby preventing defective products from entering the line-side warehouse 1 and ensuring the product quality in the warehousing process.

[0030] Considering the possibility of occasional malfunctions during equipment operation, in one embodiment, buffer stations are added at the first departure rotation position 8, the second departure rotation position 10, and the departure waiting position 12. These stations can temporarily store the completed trolleys in emergency situations, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of production.

[0031] It should be noted that currently, tire sidewalls, rubber pads, and other products are generally stored using a winding method. For the winding trolley 13, its transmission method and the location of the line-side storage 1 directly affect the operation mode of the production process. According to the initial factory plan, in this embodiment, the line-side storage 1 of the winding section is located at the rear of the production line.

[0032] From a process flow perspective, given the spatial constraints, when the line-side warehouse 1 is located at the rear of the production line, the winding trolley 13 adopts a U-shaped route for its entry and exit. Specifically, the winding trolley 13 enters from the operating side of the production line tail 6 when empty and exits from the non-operating side when full, directly connecting to the line-side warehouse 1. The entry and exit units form a U-shaped route, with the empty trolley entering from the operating side and the full trolley exiting from the non-operating side and directly connecting to the line-side warehouse 1. This layout not only meets the space constraints of the factory but also improves the space utilization rate of the production line tail 6 and the smoothness of logistics connections.

[0033] In the specific operation process, the No. 1 winding trolley 13 first passes through the waiting position 2, the first winding rotation position 3, and the winding intermediate position 4 in the empty state to enter the second winding rotation position 5. Through the rotation of the second winding rotation position 5, it enters the first winding position 7 and waits to be wound. The next No. 2 winding trolley 13, in an empty state, passes through the entry waiting position 2 and the first entry rotating position 3, and then rotates and is forward-conveyed through the first entry rotating position 3 to enter the second exit rotating position 10, waiting to be put into use after the winding station is switched, thereby realizing continuous winding of the production line.

[0034] When the first roll take-up position 7's winding trolley 13 is full, the production line switches to the second roll take-up position 11's winding trolley 13 for winding. When the first roll take-up position 7's winding trolley 13 is full, it passes through the first exit rotation position 8 and the exit intermediate position 9 to enter the exit waiting position 12. Similarly, when the second roll take-up position 11's winding trolley 13 is full, the production line switches to the first roll take-up position 7. When the second roll take-up position 11's winding trolley 13 is full, it passes through the second exit rotation position 10 to enter the exit waiting position 12.

[0035] If an entire roll of products is found to be defective during the winding process, the winding trolley 13 must be removed from the process. To address this, defective trolley exit stations are set up at the first exit rotation position 8 and the second exit rotation position 10. When the winding trolley 13 is determined to be defective, it can be directly diverted via the path of the first winding position 7-first exit rotation position 8 or the second winding position 11-second exit rotation position 10, awaiting manual processing.

[0036] During the docking process with Line-Side Warehouse 1, it is also necessary to verify the compatibility between the entry and exit time of the winding trolley 13 and the roll changeover time of the production line. The efficiency of the palletizer in Line-Side Warehouse 1 indicates that the longest time for the winding trolley 13 to complete one storage or retrieval operation is approximately 83 seconds, and the total cycle time for the two operations is 166 seconds. For all-steel tire sidewall products, the production speed is 13 m / min, the winding diameter of the trolley is 1250 mm, and the length of each roll is 90 m to 110 m, corresponding to a roll changeover cycle time of 7 to 8 minutes, which meets the requirements. For rubber padding products, the production speed is 22 m / min, and the roll changeover cycle is 4 to 5 minutes, which is also within the time range for entering and exiting the automated warehouse. For semi-steel products (tread and sidewall), the production speed exceeds 30 m / min, the winding length is approximately 110 m, and the corresponding roll changeover cycle is approximately 200 seconds, which also matches the storage and retrieval cycle.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
