Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cord production technology, and more specifically to a monofilament knotting structure of a full-wheel I-beam reel. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of steel cord, the I-beam reel serves as a crucial carrier for winding the wire. The knotting process after the reel is full is vital for ensuring the stability of the coil and the reliability of subsequent transportation and use. Currently, this process largely relies on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to breakage or loosening due to improper tension control caused by the small diameter and high strength of steel cord during knotting, affecting product quality and production efficiency. Although some automated knotting equipment has been put into use, its complex structure and limited adaptability, especially in the precise control of I-beam reels of different specifications and wire tension, remain significant shortcomings.

[0003] Existing knotting mechanisms mostly employ a method of directly picking up, pulling, and knotting the wire. While this achieves a degree of automation, it still struggles to effectively prevent wire breakage caused by sudden changes in wire tension. Furthermore, the versatility and strength of the knotting structure need improvement. There is an urgent need for an automated knotting solution that is structurally sound, operationally stable, and highly adaptable to meet the pressing demand for high-efficiency and high-reliability knotting in steel cord production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the full-wheel I-beam knotting method, this utility model proposes a single-filament knotting structure for a full-wheel I-beam, comprising: A wire-blocking plate, wherein the wire-blocking plate is provided with a wire-blocking groove at a predetermined height; A cable management component is disposed on one side of the cable baffle plate, and the cable management component includes a ring track and a cable management structure; A knotting component is provided on one side of the cable management component; The inner side of the annular track forms an area for accommodating a full-wheel I-beam. When the full-wheel I-beam is placed in this area, the free end of the steel cord extends to the cord guide groove. The cord management structure moves along the annular track a predetermined number of turns, so that multiple turns of steel wire rope loops are formed outside the I-beam. The knotting component is used to clamp multiple turns of wire rope loops and rotate them a predetermined number of times to form a knotted section.

[0005] Preferably, the cable management structure includes a slide and a pair of telescopic rods disposed above the slide, the slide being movable on the annular track.

[0006] Preferably, the telescopic rod includes an extended position and a retracted position. When the telescopic rod is in the extended position, the top of the telescopic rod is higher than the height of the wire-blocking groove.

[0007] Preferably, the telescopic rod has a support surface that contacts the steel wire on the side away from the center of the annular track, and the support surface is an inclined surface or a curved surface.

[0008] Preferably, the telescopic rod includes a rod body, a support rod at the top of the rod body, and a guide rod. The support rod has a supporting surface on one side, which extends from the upper part to the lower part of the support rod, and the diameter of the support rod gradually increases.

[0009] Preferably, the cable management component includes a pair of grippers and a robotic arm that drives the grippers to perform clamping and rotation actions.

[0010] Preferably, the cable management component includes a linear track, a slide, a rotary structure, a clamping structure, and grippers. The slide is connected to the linear track, a first end of the rotary structure is connected to the slide, and a second end is connected to the clamping structure. The clamping structure is used to drive the grippers to complete the clamping action.

[0011] Preferably, the linear track is parallel to the radial direction of the circular track.

[0012] Preferably, the rotation axis of the rotary structure is parallel to the length direction of the linear track.

[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the annular track is more than 1.1 times the diameter of the I-beam wheel.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: This application, by setting up a circular track and working in conjunction with the wire management components, can form multiple turns of wire rope loops around the I-beam reel before knotting the entire section. This significantly improves the tightness and anti-loosening ability of the knotted section.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model proposes a single-wire knotting structure for a full-wheel I-beam reel, including a wire-blocking plate 10, a wire-guiding component, and a knotting component. The wire-blocking plate 10 is provided with a wire-blocking groove at a predetermined height. The wire-guiding component is disposed on one side of the wire-blocking plate 10. The wire-guiding component includes an annular track 21 and a wire-guiding structure. The knotting component is disposed on one side of the wire-guiding component.

[0018] The inner side of the annular track 21 forms an area for accommodating the full-wheel I-beam wheel 100.

[0019] After the H-beam 100 is fully loaded, it is placed in the central area of ​​the circular track 21. The free end 101 of the steel wire on the surface of the H-beam 10 is guided by the robot arm into the wire guide groove of the wire guide plate 10, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the free end 101 and the I-beam wheel 100 form an angle, and the wire arrangement structure can rotate counterclockwise a predetermined number of times along the circular track 21, forming a shape as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The multi-turn wire rope loop 103 shown is located outside the H-beam reel 100.

[0020] Furthermore, after forming multiple turns of wire rope loop 103 around the outer periphery of the I-beam 100, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the knotting component can clamp the multi-turn steel wire rope loop 103 and rotate it a predetermined number of times to form a knotted section 102. After the knotted section 102 is formed, the multi-turn steel wire rope loop 103 can be tightened and attached to the surface of the full-wheel I-beam 100 by fixing the knotted section 102 itself. At this time, the free end 101 of the steel wire is cut off, thus forming a knotted I-beam 100.

[0021] Furthermore, the cable management structure includes a slide 22 and a pair of telescopic rods 23 disposed above the slide 22. The slide 22 can move on the annular track 21. Thus, when the slide 22 moves on the annular track 21, the telescopic rods 23 can loosen the wire outside the I-beam along the free end 101 of the wire, forming a multi-turn wire rope loop 103 wrapped around the telescopic rods 23 and the surface of the I-beam.

[0022] The telescopic rod 23 includes an extended position and a retracted position. When the telescopic rod 23 is in the extended position, the top of the telescopic rod 23 is higher than the height of the wire-blocking groove. When the telescopic rod 23 is in the retracted position, the top of the telescopic rod 23 is lower than the height of the wire-blocking groove.

[0023] Thus, the position of the free end 101 of the wire is limited to the height of the wire stop groove. Therefore, when the telescopic rod 23 is in the shortened position, it cannot contact the wire rope because it is below the position of the free end 101 of the wire. When the telescopic rod 23 is in the extended position, it can contact the free end 101 of the wire because it is above the wire stop groove. Therefore, when the telescopic rod 23 reverses, the free end 101 of the wire can be lifted and the wire can be loosened, forming a multi-turn wire rope loop 103 on the surface of the telescopic rod 23 and the I-beam reel.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the telescopic rod 23 has a support surface that contacts the steel wire on the side away from the center of the annular track 21. The support surface is an inclined surface or a curved surface.

[0025] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 As shown, the telescopic rod 23 includes a rod body 231, a support rod 232 located at the top of the rod body 231, and a guide rod 233. A support surface 234 is provided on one side of the support rod 232, which extends from the upper part to the lower part of the support rod 232, and the diameter of the support rod 232 gradually increases.

[0026] Among them, the rod 231 is a telescopic rod, which can be extended to make the support rod 232 and the guide rod 233 reach the extended position, and can also be shortened to make the support rod 232 and the guide rod 233 reach the shortened position.

[0027] Thus, by setting the support surface 234 of the support rod 232 as a curved surface with a gradually increasing diameter from top to bottom, when picking up the steel wire, the steel wire will stop falling at a certain height of the support surface 234 with a gradually increasing diameter due to the tension of the steel wire, so that 4 to 5 turns of steel wire are tightly stuck together. This is beneficial for the subsequent use of the wire management component to clamp and knot all the steel wires together to form a tight knotted section 102.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the cable management component includes a pair of grippers 35 and a robotic arm that drives the grippers 35 to perform clamping and rotation actions. In this way, the grippers 35 can clamp 4 to 5 turns of steel wire between a pair of rods 231. After clamping, by rotation, these 4 to 5 turns of steel wire are tightly wound to form a knotted section 102 and remain in place.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the cable management component includes a linear track 31, a slide 32, a rotary structure 33, a clamping structure 34, and a gripper 35. The slide 32 is connected to the linear track 31. The first end of the rotary structure 33 is connected to the slide 32, and the second end is connected to the clamping structure 34. The clamping structure 34 is used to drive the gripper 35 to complete the clamping action.

[0030] The linear track 31 is parallel to the radial direction of the circular track 21.

[0031] Thus, the slide 32 can move closer to or further away from the I-beam along the radial direction of the annular track 21. When the wire-guiding component loosens the wire, the slide 32 moves toward the I-beam until a pair of grippers 35 are positioned above and below the 4-5 turns of wire, respectively. The clamping structure 34 drives the pair of grippers 35 to move closer to each other to clamp the wire. The rotating structure 33 drives the clamping structure 34 to rotate, using the grippers 35 to rotate the clamped wire in one direction to form a twisted knot.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotary structure 33 is parallel to the length direction of the linear track 31. This ensures that the 4-5 turns of wire held by the grippers 35 are effectively tightened during the formation of the twisted knot, preventing loose loops.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to form a stronger braided knot, the diameter of the annular track 21 is more than 1.1 times the diameter of the I-beam wheel 100. In this way, the length of the braided knot can be made longer and more secure, and it is not easy to loosen.

[0034] In conjunction with the above embodiments, this application, by setting up a circular track and a wire management component to work together, can form multiple turns of wire rope loops around the I-beam reel before knotting the entire section. This significantly improves the tightness and anti-loosening ability of the knotted section. The use of a telescopic rod structure with a support surface effectively controls the wire tension, preventing wire breakage due to excessive tension during knotting. It is highly adaptable and compatible with I-beam reels of different specifications, achieving highly efficient automation of the knotting process and improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0035] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention shall be determined by the claims.
