Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yarn bar identification technology, specifically a dispensing device that can identify the size of the yarn bar's ends. Background Technology
[0002] In the textile production process, the yarn bobbin, as a key component carrying the yarn, directly affects production efficiency and product quality through its orderly transfer between various processes. Because the yarn bobbin has a structure with different sizes at both ends, it must be placed in a uniform orientation—narrower at the top and wider at the bottom—before entering the next processing step. Otherwise, it can easily lead to problems such as equipment jamming and decreased processing accuracy. Currently, the uniform adjustment of the large and small ends of yarn bobbins during transfer relies heavily on manual operation. Operators must individually identify the front-to-back and height-to-back positions of each yarn bobbin and manually rotate them to the prescribed posture before delivery. This manual intervention not only consumes a significant amount of manpower but, in mass production scenarios, is also highly susceptible to inefficiency and poor posture uniformity due to operator fatigue and misjudgment. This severely restricts the automation level and overall production efficiency of textile production lines, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern large-scale production. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dispensing device that can identify the size of the yarn bob.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A feeding device capable of identifying the size of yarn bars includes: a feeding box, with a discharge bin and a feeding bin respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the feeding box; a lifting component is arranged on the left side of the discharge bin; a recognition and flipping component is arranged on the top left side of the lifting component; a main unit is arranged on the bottom left side of the lifting component; a conveyor plate assembly is arranged on the top of the main unit; a transport mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the feeding bin; the transport mechanism is used to put the yarn bars into the discharge bin in a uniform state; an inclined plate is arranged at the bottom of the discharge bin; the inclined plate is used to tilt the yarn bars into the lifting component; the lifting component is used to lift the yarn bars into the recognition and flipping component; the recognition and flipping component is used to identify yarn bars with inconsistent heights and flip them into a state that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom before putting them into the conveyor plate assembly. The conveyor assembly is used to transfer yarn bars that are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom to the next process. The main unit is located in the main unit box. The main unit is used to control the lifting assembly, the transport mechanism and the identification and flipping assembly. The identification and flipping component includes: a sheet metal cover, which is fixed to the left steel plate of the lifting component. A cylinder fixing shell is welded to the outer wall of the sheet metal cover near the main unit box. Cylinders are symmetrically arranged on the cylinder fixing shell. A funnel rectangular frame is fixed inside the sheet metal cover. A partition 1 is set in the upper center of the funnel rectangular frame, and a partition 2 is set in the lower center of the funnel rectangular frame. The left and right sides of the partitions are the flipping area and the identification area, respectively. The right side of the identification area is connected to the lifting component. A support plate is set on the steel plate. A flipping plate is set below the support plate. The front and rear sides of the flipping plate are rotatably connected to the funnel rectangular frame. An infrared ranging probe is set on the outer wall of the funnel rectangular frame above the flipping plate. The infrared ranging probe is fixed to the inner wall of the sheet metal cover. Two sets of square through holes are set on the sheet metal cover of the cylinder on the left side of the partition 2. A vertical rod shell is set below the partition 2 and the funnel rectangular frame. The infrared ranging probe is used to measure the left and right height of the yarn bar. When detecting a short distance (i.e., the back is lower than the front), it sends a signal to the main unit, which then controls the rear cylinder to start. When detecting a long distance (i.e., the back of the yarn bar is higher than the front), it sends a second signal to the main unit, which then controls the front cylinder to start. The tilting plate is used to tilt the yarn bar after infrared measurement to the tilting area. When the yarn bar is lower than the front, the cylinder's extension rod passes through the square through hole, and the rear side of the yarn bar collides with the extension rod. The front side of the yarn bar then enters the vertical shaft shell in a vertically downward, narrower-than-average configuration. The same principle applies when the yarn bar is higher than the front.
[0005] Preferably, a fixing plate is provided on the left outer wall of the steel plate, and a standard cylinder is vertically fixed on the fixing plate. A protrusion is provided on the rear outer wall of the funnel rectangular frame, and a rotating shaft is provided on the protrusion. Triangular inclined plates are provided on both the front and rear sides of the protrusion. The triangular inclined plates and the protrusion are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft. A circular through hole is provided on the upper corner and the lower corner of the triangular inclined plate. The circular through holes on the upper and lower parts of the triangular inclined plate are respectively provided with rotating shaft one and rotating shaft three. A cam is provided on rotating shaft one, and the cam is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the standard cylinder. Two sets of raised plates are provided on the bottom left side of the flip-turn plate. A second rotating shaft is fixed between the two sets of raised plates. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft. The rightmost plate of the flip-turn plate is equipped with a four-axis rotating shaft running through the front and back. The front and back sides of the four-axis rotating shaft are fixedly connected to the front and back inner walls of the funnel rectangular frame. When the infrared measurement is completed, the cylinder's telescopic rod retracts downward, causing the triangular inclined plate to move clockwise, which in turn causes the rotating shaft two to move downward. Then, through the connecting rod, the flipping plate rotates clockwise along the rotating shaft four, thereby tilting the yarn bar at the top of the flipping plate into the flipping area. After tilting is completed, the cylinder's telescopic rod extends upward, causing the flipping plate to return to its original position.
[0006] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes: a second housing, a motor, a chain lifting mechanism, and a transfer claw. The inclined plate is configured to be lower on the left and higher on the right. The second housing is located on the left side of the inclined plate. Chain lifting mechanisms are located at both the front and rear of the second housing. Multiple sets of transfer claws are arranged between the front and rear chains in the chain lifting mechanism. A motor is fixedly installed in the center of the top chain of the chain lifting mechanism. The transfer claw is used to lift a yarn bar; the chain lifting mechanism is used to circulate and lift multiple sets of transfer claws along the chain to the identification and flipping component; the motor is used to provide power to the chain lifting mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, a cylinder gripper is provided on the rear side of the vertical bar shell. The vertical bar shell is symmetrically divided into left and right halves. The outer wall of each half is fixedly connected to the gripper of the cylinder gripper. The cylinder gripper is used to transfer the yarn bar, which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, to the conveyor plate assembly and then separate the vertical bar shell.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a dispensing device that can identify the size of the yarn bob, which has the following advantages: The identification and flipping component can accurately measure the left and right height of the yarn bar through an infrared ranging probe, thereby determining its front and back height status. The partition design of the funnel rectangular frame divides the area into a flipping zone and an identification zone. With the coordinated action of the flipping plate and the cylinder, the yarn bar can be accurately flipped to the specified narrow top and wide bottom state, ensuring that the yarn bar entering the next process has a consistent posture, reducing subsequent processing problems caused by posture errors, and helping to improve product quality stability.
[0009] The identification process can be completed without human intervention. Combined with the rapid response action of the cylinder, the yarn bar can be accurately flipped, effectively replacing the traditional manual adjustment method, improving the efficiency of yarn bar posture adjustment, and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0012] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0013] Reference Figures 1-10 As shown, the feeding device for identifying the large and small ends of yarn bars in this embodiment includes a feeding box 1. The feeding box 1 has a discharge bin 102 and a feeding bin 101 respectively on the left and right sides. A lifting component 5 is provided on the left side of the discharge bin 102. A recognition flipping component 2 is provided on the top left side of the lifting component 5. A main unit box 3 is provided on the bottom left side of the lifting component 5. A conveyor plate component 4 is provided on the top of the main unit box 3.
[0014] The conveying mechanism at the bottom of the feeding hopper 101 is used to organize disordered yarn bars into a uniform state and send them into the discharging hopper 102. The inclined plate at the bottom of the discharging hopper 102 guides the yarn bars to tilt into the lifting assembly 5. The lifting assembly 5 lifts the yarn bars to the identification and flipping assembly 2. The identification and flipping assembly 2 identifies yarn bars with inconsistent heights and flips them into a state that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. Then, the conveyor assembly 4 transfers them to the next process. The main unit in the main unit box 3 is responsible for controlling the coordinated operation of all components.
[0015] The sheet metal cover 205 of the identification flipping component 2 is fixed on the left steel plate 213 of the lifting component 5. Cylinders 207 are symmetrically installed on the cylinder fixing shell 206 on the side of the main unit 3 near the outer wall of the cover 205. The funnel rectangular frame 211 inside the sheet metal cover 205 is divided into a flipping area 201 and an identification area 202 by an upper partition 1 2031 and a lower partition 2032. The right side of the identification area 202 is connected to the lifting component 5. A flipping plate 210 is provided below the support plate 204 on the steel plate 213. The flipping plate 210 is rotatably connected to the funnel rectangular frame 211. The infrared ranging probe 209 above it is fixed to the inner wall of the sheet metal cover 205. A square through hole 212 is provided on the left side of the partition 2032 corresponding to the position of the cylinder 207. A vertical rod shell 208 is provided below it.
[0016] The lifting assembly 5 has chain lifting mechanisms 502 installed at the front and rear of its housing. Multiple sets of transfer claws 501 between the front and rear chains are used to lift a single yarn bar. The top motor 503 provides power to the chain lifting mechanisms 502. The vertical bar shell 208 is divided into left and right halves, which are fixedly connected to the claws of the rear cylinder clamp 2081 for separating the shell after transferring the yarn bar.
[0017] During operation, disordered yarn bars are poured into the feed hopper 101, sorted by the transport mechanism, and then enter the discharge hopper 102. They then pass through an inclined plate into the transfer claw 501 of the lifting assembly 5, and are conveyed by the chain lifting mechanism 502 to the support plate 204 of the identification and flipping assembly 2, subsequently sliding onto the surface of the flipping plate 210. An infrared ranging probe 209 detects the distance to determine the yarn bar's state: when the back is higher than the front, signal two is sent, and the main unit controls the front cylinder 207 to start, causing the telescopic rod to pass through the square through-hole 212 and collide with the front side of the yarn bar, causing its rear side to descend into the vertical rod shell 208; when the back is lower than the front, signal one is sent, and the main unit controls the rear cylinder 207 to start, similarly causing the front side of the yarn bar to descend into the shell. After the infrared measurement is completed, the telescopic rod of the standard cylinder 216 retracts, causing the triangular inclined plate 215 to move clockwise. This, via the connecting rod 218, causes the tilting plate 210 to rotate along the pivot, tilting the yarn bar into the flipping area 201. Subsequently, the telescopic rod of the cylinder extends, returning the tilting plate 210 to its original position. Finally, the cylinder gripper 2081 causes the vertical bar shell 208 to separate, and the yarn bar is transferred by the conveyor assembly 4 to the next process.
[0018] In some examples, the surface of the conveyor belt of the transport mechanism can be provided with an arc-shaped groove, the curvature of which matches the outer wall of the yarn bar to prevent the yarn bar from rolling and shifting during transport, and to ensure that the yarn bar entering the discharge bin 102 has a initially uniform posture.
[0019] In some examples, yarn holders are evenly distributed on the turntable of the transfer tray assembly 4. The size of the yarn holders is adapted to the yarn bar, which is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, to ensure the stability of the yarn bar during the transfer process and prevent it from tipping over.
[0020] In some examples, a dust cover can be installed on the outside of the infrared ranging probe 209. The dust cover is made of transparent acrylic material, which can prevent yarn debris from contaminating the probe and affecting the detection accuracy, while not hindering the penetration of infrared light.
[0021] In some examples, a wear-resistant metal ring can be installed inside the square through hole 212. The surface of the metal ring is polished to reduce frictional wear between the cylinder telescopic rod and the edge of the through hole during reciprocating motion, thereby extending the service life of the device.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this yarn bar dispensing device that can identify the size of the yarn bar, the disordered yarn bars are first poured into the feeding hopper 101. The transport mechanism at the bottom of the feeding hopper 101 is in a ready-to-start state. The transfer claw 501 on the chain lifting mechanism 502 of the lifting component 5 is in the initial low position. The flipping plate 210 of the identification flipping component 2 is kept horizontal. The telescopic rods of the cylinder 207 and the standard cylinder 216 are in a retracted state. The left and right halves of the vertical bar shell 208 are in a closed state.
[0023] During normal operation, the operator starts the equipment via the main unit 3. The transport mechanism inside the feed hopper 101 begins to work, organizing the disordered yarn bars into a uniform state before sending them into the discharge hopper 102. The inclined plate at the bottom of the discharge hopper 102, which is lower on the left and higher on the right, guides the yarn bars to slide into the transfer claw 501 of the lifting assembly 5. The motor 503 drives the chain lifting mechanism 502 to operate, causing the transfer claw 501 to rise along the chain in a circular motion, raising the yarn bars to the support plate 204 of the identification and flipping assembly 2. The yarn bars then slide along the support plate 204 to the surface of the flipping plate 210.
[0024] At this time, the infrared ranging probe 209 of the identification flipping component 2 is activated to measure the left and right height of the yarn bar. If a long distance is detected, it is determined that the yarn bar is in a state of being higher at the back and lower at the front, and a second signal is sent to the host. The host controls the front cylinder 207 to start, and its telescopic rod passes through the square through hole 212 to collide with the front side of the yarn bar, so that the rear side of the yarn bar is vertically downward and enters the vertical bar shell 208 in a state of being narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. If a short distance is detected, it is determined that the yarn bar is in a state of being lower at the back and higher at the front, and a first signal is sent to the host. The host controls the rear cylinder 207 to start, and similarly, the front side of the yarn bar is lowered and enters the vertical bar shell 208.
[0025] After the infrared measurement is completed, the telescopic rod of the standard cylinder 216 retracts downward, causing the triangular inclined plate 215 to rotate clockwise around the axis. This, through the connecting rod 218, pushes the tilting plate 210 to rotate clockwise around the axis, tilting the yarn bar at its top into the tilting area 201. Then, the telescopic rod of the standard cylinder 216 extends upward, causing the tilting plate 210 to return to its original position. The cylinder gripper 2081 on the rear side of the vertical bar shell 208 is activated, causing the left and right halves of the shell to separate, releasing the yarn bar inside. The yarn bar falls into the conveyor assembly 4, which transfers it to the next process.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
