[0037] To more clearly describe the conical column hanging device proposed in this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4This invention relates to a conical column suspension device 100, used for connecting and suspending a wire frame S. The device mainly comprises the following structural components: a first coupling seat 10, located at the upper end of the device, for connecting and fixing with an external mechanism (such as a boom structure, conveying platform, or automated equipment) to form a supporting foundation for the device; a main boom 20, one end of which is connected to the first coupling seat 10 and is vertically oriented, capable of moving up and down to adjust the overall height of the suspension device 100; the main boom 20 can be raised and lowered via an internal guide rail or linear slide rail mechanism; a section boom 30, connected to the lower end of the main boom 20, and capable of telescopic movement with the main boom 20, thereby extending the operating distance or travel range of the suspension device; the section boom 30 can be a telescopic rod structure or can be embedded inside the main boom 20 for sliding engagement; and a second coupling seat 40, located at the bottom end of the section boom 30, for supporting and connecting the following transmission and suspension components. The second coupling seat 40 can be a platform structure, on which a motor 50 and a rotary transmission mechanism are mounted. A motor 50, mounted on the second coupling seat 40, has an output gear 51 for outputting torque to a lower rotating gear 60. The motor 50 can be a servo motor, stepper motor, or other programmable rotary drive component to provide precise speed and angle control. A rotating gear 60 meshes with the output gear 51 of the motor 50 and can rotate with the drive of the motor 50. The rotating gear 60 is further connected to a tapered column 70, transmitting motor power to the tapered column 70 to cause it to rotate. A tapered column 70, with its axis L perpendicular to the axial direction of the link arm 30, is fixed or connected to the second coupling seat 40. The tapered column 70 has symmetrically distributed tips 71 at both ends. These tips 71 are conical or pointed structures designed to insert into the through-hole S1 at the top of the wire frame S, thereby stably suspending the entire wire frame S on the hanging device 100. When the conical column 70 rotates, it assists in entering or exiting the recess S1, enabling insertion and detachment operations. Operationally, the operator or control system can drive the main boom 20 and the segmental boom 30 downwards, aligning the tip 71 of the conical column 70 with the recess S1 at the top of the wire frame S. Then, the motor 50 is activated to rotate, causing the conical column 70 to slowly screw into the recess S1, completing the insertion and suspending of the wire frame S. After the operation is complete, the main boom 20 can be raised, allowing the entire wire frame S to move in the air or be transported.
[0039] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The main boom 20 is internally equipped with multiple support devices 21, which may include locking structures, positioning pins, electric locking modules, or adjustable mechanical clamps, and are configured between the main boom 20 and the segment boom 30. When the segment boom 30 is raised or lowered to a predetermined height, the support devices 21 act on the outer wall or corresponding structure of the segment boom 30 to fix its vertical position, preventing displacement of the segment boom 30 due to vibration or mechanical reaction force during operation, and effectively improving operational safety and accuracy.
[0040] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The warning module 18 is coupled to each production line 14 and the data center 12. That is, the warning module 18 can contact and communicate with each production line 14 in the first instance. When a metal wire production equipment 142 malfunctions, the warning module 18 can notify the decision module 126 in the data center 12 in real time to make a decision, such as a shutdown decision or a production line replacement decision. Furthermore, the warning module 18 can also issue a warning signal to the user, operator or supervisor when a metal wire production equipment 142 malfunctions. The warning signal can be an alarm sound, an alarm light, a remote mobile phone message, or an APP push message.
[0041] Please see Figure 5 The motor 50, located on the second coupling seat 40, can be connected to a control module 52. The control module 52 can be a microcontroller, PLC system, or servo control board, and has rotation angle and speed adjustment functions. By setting the drive parameters of the module, the operator or automation system can precisely control the rotation angle and speed of the tapered column 70. For example, it can be set to perform low-speed insertion, fast withdrawal, or positioning and holding, etc., to meet the insertion requirements of different types of wire frames S.
[0042] Please see Figures 2 to 4 To further ensure the stability of the suspension, the tip 71 of the tapered column 70 may have an anti-slip structure on its surface, such as mechanical textures like threads, transverse grooves, or mesh-like engravings; or a high-friction coefficient coating may be applied, such as a rubber coating, silicone material, or ceramic-textured coating, to enhance the friction and stability when it contacts the inner recess S1 of the wire frame S. This design prevents slippage or loosening after insertion, ensuring the wire frame remains firmly suspended, especially during suspension movement or transportation.
[0043] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The second coupling seat 40 can be configured as a rotatable platform and connected to the output shaft or output gear 51 mechanism of the motor 50. The second coupling seat 40 can be driven to rotate by the motor 50, thereby causing the conical column 70 fixed on it to change direction, making its axial rotation angle adjustable, thereby realizing a more flexible insertion direction adjustment function to meet the configuration requirements of different directions, angles or types of wire frame S.
[0044] Please see Figure 5To enhance the automation and accuracy of the insertion operation, the conical column suspension device 100 of this invention may be equipped with a sensing module 80. The sensing module 80 may include an optical sensor, a contact microswitch, an ultrasonic sensor, or an image recognition component, and is disposed near the conical column 70 or on the second coupling seat 40. After the insertion operation is completed, it detects whether the tip 71 of the conical column 70 has been accurately inserted into the through recess S1 of the wire frame S. When the detection result confirms successful insertion, the sensing module 80 will send a feedback signal as a trigger for subsequent actions (such as lifting, hanging, or moving).
[0045] Please see Figure 5 This device further integrates a central control system C, which can be an industrial controller (such as a programmable logic controller), an embedded microcontroller, or an industrial computer control unit. The central control system C can synchronously control the lifting and lowering of the main boom 20, the extension and retraction of the telescopic boom 30, the rotation of the motor 50, and the judgment of sensing results, based on pre-set control logic or by receiving feedback signals from the sensing module 80. Through this central system, automated connection processes, failure compensation actions, or higher-level process control functions can be achieved by connecting to a host computer system.
[0046] In one embodiment of this invention, the conical column suspension device 100 includes a lifting drive module 90, which may include a servo motor, pneumatic or hydraulic drive cylinder, etc., and is configured in the drive system of the main boom 20 and the segment boom 30. The lifting drive module 90 is electrically connected to the central control system C, which transmits lifting commands and executes position control. When the sensing module 80 returns a signal indicating successful connection or position deviation, the central control system C can immediately determine whether to perform height fine-tuning, connection retry, or suspension operation, thereby achieving a closed-loop control mechanism and improving the overall system's adaptability to spatial alignment accuracy and operational stability.
[0047] In one embodiment of this invention, the conical column suspension device 100, to improve the automation and accuracy of the insertion operation, can integrate the real-time signals of the lifting drive module 90 and the sensing module 80 into a central control system C to implement synchronous control or segmented control strategies. For example, when the wire frame S is detected within the predetermined insertion range, the system can trigger the conical column 70 to descend and insert synchronously; when a misalignment or positional error is detected, the operation can be performed in segments: first, the position is finely adjusted before insertion and suspension operations are performed to ensure that the tip 71 of the conical column 70 is accurately aligned with and inserted into the through recess S1 of the wire frame S, avoiding misinsertion or jamming.
[0048] In one embodiment of this invention, the conical column hanging device 100 features a detachable tip 71 at both ends of the conical column 70 to accommodate diverse wireframe designs and aperture variations. Users can select replacement heads of suitable size and geometry (e.g., conical, elliptical, flanged, etc.) and quickly install them at both ends of the conical column 70 according to their actual needs. This modular design not only enhances the device's compatibility with various wireframe specifications but also simplifies maintenance and replacement processes, thereby increasing the overall system's flexibility and industrial application value.
[0049] Thus, the conical column hanging device of this utility model has been fully and clearly described above. However, it must be emphasized that the above detailed description is a specific description of feasible embodiments of this utility model, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the claims of this utility model.
