Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production equipment, and in particular to a rope end shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly of rope and strap products, the cut ends of the rope are prone to becoming frizzy and unraveling, making it difficult to thread through narrow channels. Existing technology typically involves softening the rope with a flame and then manually twisting and shaping it. However, this method relies on manual operation, making it difficult to control the heat, which can easily damage the rope or cause burns, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve mass production, reducing production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rope end shaping device that can be easily automated to replace manual high-temperature shaping. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0009] Further optionally, each of the forming holes also includes a second section located between the first section and the fixing part, the second section being a straight hole with a constant inner diameter.

[0010] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the shaping part includes an openable first mold flap and a second mold flap, wherein the first mold flap and the second mold flap are closed to form the forming hole.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, the fixing part includes an openable first fixing member and a second fixing member, with a clamping part between them for fixing the rope.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 Describes a rope end shaping device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0037] This rope end shaping device 100 is used to shape the ends of the heat-treated rope 200.

[0038] It should be noted that the rope body 200 can be a braided rope, such as a braided fiber rope or a braided leather rope. The fiber rope includes natural fiber ropes (such as hemp rope and cotton rope) and synthetic fiber ropes (such as polyester fiber rope, nylon rope, polyester rope, aramid rope, etc.). Furthermore, the rope body 200 can also be a plastic-coated rope, such as a composite structure rope 200 formed by wrapping a plastic layer (such as PVC or PE) around a metal or fiber core.

[0039] The heat treatment methods include, but are not limited to, flame heating, electric heating radiation, or hot air heating, which are intended to make the rope end 201 soft at high temperature to facilitate subsequent shaping operations.

[0040] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the rope end shaping device 100 includes a shaping part 10 and a fixing part 20. The shaping part 10 and the fixing part 20 are arranged along a first direction.

[0041] Here, the rope 200 extends along the first direction during the end shaping process, and its two ends are adjusted by the shaping part 10 and the fixing part 20, respectively. The fixing part 20 is used to fix the rope 200 to ensure the stability of the rope end 201 during the shaping process; while the shaping part 10 is used to shape the end of the rope 200.

[0042] Specifically, the shaping part 10 is provided with a shaping hole 11, the inner contour of which is adapted to the shape of the rope end 201, for accommodating and constraining the rope end 201 for shaping.

[0043] After the rope end 201 is heat-treated by flame, electric heating, or other methods, it temporarily softens and becomes highly malleable. At this point, the softened rope end 201 is fed into the forming hole 11 of the shaping section 10. The rope end 201 is forced to conform to the inner contour of the forming hole 11 under the constraint of the hole wall and solidifies during the forming process, thereby obtaining a rope end 201 shape that matches the shape of the forming hole 11. Therefore, the size of the forming hole 11 is slightly smaller than the original size of the rope end 201, so that effective shaping can be achieved through limiting and extrusion while the rope end 201 is in a softened state.

[0044] The cross-sectional shape of the forming hole 11 can be flexibly designed according to actual process requirements, such as regular or irregular shapes like circles, ellipses, or flat rectangles, so that the cross-sectional shape of the formed rope end 201 matches the cross-section of the hole to be threaded.

[0045] In the following description of this application, the cross-sectional shape of the forming hole 11 is circular as an example. Those skilled in the art will readily understand, after reading the following description, that the forming hole 11 can be implemented in other shapes.

[0046] Optionally, the forming hole 11 can be an elongated hole for continuously wrapping and shaping the rope end 201 over a distance.

[0047] The rope end 201, softened by high temperature, is prone to springback or warping during the cooling process due to the release of internal stress. The elongated hole provides a longer constraint and cooling path, allowing the rope end 201 to be continuously restricted by the hole wall over a longer range, effectively suppressing shape rebound during the cooling process and ensuring the shaping accuracy and consistency of the rope end 201.

[0048] Furthermore, this "wrapping and shaping" process not only applies to the rope end 201 but also covers the adjacent transition section. The elongated holes allow the rope end 201 and the adjacent transition section to uniformly conform to the shaping contour, effectively preventing local bulges, collapses, or twisting, thereby improving the stability of the shaped form and the structural reliability.

[0049] Of course, the forming hole 11 can also be a short hole. Short holes facilitate quick entry and exit and improve the shaping efficiency of the rope end 201.

[0050] The fixing part 20 is used to clamp the rope body 200.

[0051] Specifically, the fixing part 20 is used to clamp the part of the rope body 200 that has not been heat treated and does not need to be shaped. This part may be located in the middle of the rope body 200 or at the other end opposite to the rope end 201 to be shaped.

[0052] The fixing part 20 serves to provide a stable support reference for the heat-treated rope end 201. Specifically, during the shaping process, the fixing part 20 acts as a force-bearing point, driving the rope body 200 to move or keeping the rope end 201 in a stable posture, thereby realizing the controllable feed of the rope end shaping device 100.

[0053] In order to enable the heat-treated rope end 201 to pass smoothly into the forming hole 11 of the shaping part 10 and complete the shaping, at least one of the shaping part 10 and the fixing part 20 is configured to be relatively movable in a first direction extending along the rope body 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, the fixing part 20 is configured to move along a first direction, while the shaping part 10 remains relatively stationary. During operation, the fixing part 20 clamps the untreated portion of the rope body 200 and moves it away from the shaping part 10, thereby actively pulling the softened rope end 201 through the forming hole 11 in the shaping part 10. During this process, the high-temperature rope end 201 conforms to the shaping contour under the constraint of the hole wall, and the shaping is completed after cooling.

[0055] In other embodiments, the fixing part 20 remains stationary, while the shaping part 10 is configured to move along a first direction. When the rope end 201 is softened by heat treatment, the shaping part 10 moves away from the fixing part 20 (i.e., moves towards the rope end 201), so that the forming hole 11 is actively fitted onto the softened rope end 201 that has been fixed, thereby causing the rope end 201 to passively pass through the forming hole 11 and complete the shaping.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the fixing part 20 and the shaping part 10 are both configured to move relative to each other in a first direction, and the two can move synchronously or sequentially in a direction away from each other.

[0057] Specifically, after the rope end 201 has undergone heat treatment and is in a softened state, the fixing part 20 clamps the untreated section of the rope body 200. Subsequently, the fixing part 20 moves the rope body 200 to one side, while the shaping part 10 moves in the opposite direction, so that the softened rope end 201 passes smoothly and at a constant speed through the forming hole 11 as the two move away from each other, thus completing the shaping process.

[0058] In summary, the rope end shaping device 100 of this utility model embodiment can automatically shape the high-temperature rope end 201 without manual intervention, improving shaping accuracy, forming stability and production efficiency, and is suitable for automated processing of the ends of various types of ropes 200.

[0059] Combination Figures 1-2 and Figures 4-5 In some optional embodiments, there is at least one forming hole 11, and each forming hole 11 extends along a first direction. When there are two or more forming holes 11, the two or more forming holes 11 are arranged at intervals along a second direction.

[0060] The shaping section 10 has one or more ropes 200, which can shape one rope 200 or shape multiple ropes 200 at the same time, so as to realize mass production operations.

[0061] Here, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0062] In some technical solutions, the second direction is on the same horizontal plane as the first direction, so that multiple forming holes 11 are arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0063] This setup allows for the provision of an independent heat treatment station for each rope 200. For example, multiple flame nozzles or heating elements can be installed to perform independent and precise heat treatment on each rope end 201. After heat treatment, each rope end 201 can enter the corresponding forming hole 11 simultaneously or sequentially to complete the shaping process.

[0064] In other technical solutions, the second direction and the first direction are located in the same vertical plane, so that multiple forming holes 11 are arranged vertically upwards and downwards. In this layout, a flame heat treatment device can be set directly below the lowest rope end 201, using a flame beam with a large coverage area or a wide heat source to simultaneously heat multiple rope ends 201 at different heights. This solution achieves simultaneous heat treatment of multiple ropes with a single heat source, simplifying the heating system structure and reducing equipment costs.

[0065] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each forming hole 11 includes a first segment 111. The inner diameter of the first segment 111 gradually decreases in the direction toward the fixing part 20.

[0066] Here, the inner diameter of the first segment 111 gradually decreases in the direction of entry towards the rope end 201, forming a tapered guide cavity.

[0067] During operation, the rope end 201, which has been softened by heat treatment, first enters from the wider end of the forming hole 11. Due to the larger diameter of the inlet hole, the initial difficulty of the rope end 201 is reduced, which is especially suitable for ropes 200 with slight bends.

[0068] Subsequently, during the sliding process, the rope end 201 enters the first tapering section 111. Its outer circumference is subjected to continuous radial compression under the constraint of the hole wall in the first section 111. The rope end 201 undergoes controllable deformation in a high-temperature plastic state, and the cross-sectional size gradually decreases and conforms to the hole wall contour, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy and shape repeatability of the finished product and achieving precise shaping.

[0069] Alternatively, each forming hole 11 may further include a second section 112 located between the first section 111 and the fixing part 20, the second section 112 being a straight hole with a constant inner diameter.

[0070] It is worth noting that the direction of movement of the rope end 201 is: from the first segment 111, the second segment 112, and then continuing to move towards the fixing part 20. It should be noted that the fixing part 20 is not inside the shaping part 10, but at the far end of the rope body 200. By pulling the entire rope body 200, the rope end 201 is pulled into and passes through the forming hole 11 of the shaping part 10.

[0071] Therefore, the shaping part 10 itself only includes the first segment 111 and the second segment 112, while the fixing part 20 is located outside the shaping part 10 and at the non-shaping end of the rope 200.

[0072] Therefore, from the perspective of the shaping section 10, the rope end 201 first enters the first section 111 near the entrance side, and then enters the second section 112.

[0073] When the rope end 201 is inside the second section 112, it is constrained in a cavity with a uniform cross-sectional size and completes its final shaping during the cooling process.

[0074] Since the inner diameter of the second section 112 remains constant, its hole wall forms a uniform and continuous limiting effect on the rope end 201, which helps to eliminate shape fluctuations that may be caused by material springback or uneven cooling, so that the diameter or cross-sectional dimensions of the shaped rope end 201 are highly consistent, and the shaping stability is improved.

[0075] Meanwhile, the second segment 112 has a certain axial length, which extends the dwell time of the softened rope end 201 under the constraint state, which is conducive to the uniform dissipation of heat and the stable solidification of the structure, thereby improving the shape accuracy of the finished product.

[0076] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shaping part 10 includes an openable first mold flap 131 and a second mold flap 132, which form a forming hole 11 when the first mold flap 131 and the second mold flap 132 are closed.

[0077] When the first mold segment 131 and the second mold segment 132 are in the open state, the forming hole 11 area is open, which makes it easy to put the rope 200 to be processed directly into the mold cavity without having to insert it along the axial direction.

[0078] After the rope end 201 is positioned, the first mold lobe 131 and the second mold lobe 132 close to form a completely closed molding hole 11, so that the softened rope end 201 can be uniformly constrained in the circumferential direction and accurately reproduce the target shape during the cooling process.

[0079] Optionally, the opening and closing methods of the first module 131 and the second module 132 are very flexible.

[0080] For example, the first module 131 and the second module 132 can be opened and closed by rotation. The two modules are connected by a hinge or a pivot, so that one of the modules can rotate around the pivot to open and close.

[0081] In addition, the first mold lobe 131 and the second mold lobe 132 can also achieve rapid closure and positioning through magnetic attraction, using permanent magnets or electromagnetic devices to provide attraction force and keep the mold cavity tightly pressed when closed.

[0082] Alternatively, a snap-fit ​​structure can be used between the first module 131 and the second module 132, such as a boss and slot, an elastic hook or a quick-change locking mechanism, which can facilitate manual or pneumatic operation while ensuring closing accuracy.

[0083] In some such Figure 4 In the specific embodiment shown, the first module 131 and the second module 132 adopt a cover-type structure, that is, one module is fixed as a base, and the other module is pressed down and fastened in the vertical direction.

[0084] Furthermore, one of the first mold segment 131 and the second mold segment 132 is provided with a positioning groove, and the other is provided with a positioning protrusion that cooperates with it. The positioning groove and the positioning protrusion are used to achieve precise alignment when the two mold segments are closed, prevent misalignment of the forming hole 11 contour, and ensure the shaping accuracy of the rope end 201.

[0085] Optimally, positioning grooves are located at the four corners of one of the mold segments, and corresponding positioning protrusions are located at the four corners of the other mold segment. This arrangement allows the mold segments to be guided and controlled simultaneously in multiple directions during the closing process, thereby suppressing deflection, misalignment, or local gaps, and ensuring that the entire inner contour of the forming hole 11 is continuous, smooth, and dimensionally consistent along the circumference.

[0086] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 6 The fixing part 20 includes an openable first fixing member 21 and a second fixing member 22, with a clamping part 23 for fixing the rope body 200 between them.

[0087] Specifically, the clamping part 23 is disposed on the opposing surface of at least one of the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22.

[0088] In some technical solutions, the clamping part 23 is a V-groove. The opposing surfaces of the first fixing member 21 or the second fixing member 22 are provided with V-grooves, and the opposing surface of the other is a plane or a matching V-shaped convex surface. After closing, the V-groove forms a three-point contact constraint on the rope body 200, which is particularly suitable for rope bodies 200 with circular cross-sections, and the clamping is stable.

[0089] In some other technical solutions, the clamping part 23 is a mating arc-shaped groove. The opposing surfaces of the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 are provided with arc-shaped grooves, which fix the rope 200 after closing.

[0090] In addition, the clamping part 23 can also adopt a flat clamping plate structure, that is, the opposite surfaces of the two fixing parts are flat or have anti-slip textures. By applying clamping force, the rope body 200 is pressed from both sides. The structure is simple and easy to process, and it is suitable for clamping flat ropes, strip ropes, etc.

[0091] To further enhance the reliability of the clamping mechanism, the clamping part 23 is equipped with an anti-slip structure, such as knurling, toothed texture, rubber padding, or a high-friction coefficient coating. This prevents the rope 200 from slipping axially during the shaping process. Furthermore, the rubber padding protects the rope 200 from damage.

[0092] Furthermore, the opposing surfaces of the first fixing member 21 or the second fixing member 22 are provided with clamping grooves 231, and the extending direction of the clamping grooves 231 is not parallel to the first direction.

[0093] As can be seen, the extending direction of the clamping groove 231 forms a certain angle with the axial direction of the rope 200. Through the non-parallel arrangement, the clamping groove 231 has anti-slip capability when in contact with the surface of the rope 200 in the closed state.

[0094] Preferably, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6 The clamping groove 231 extends perpendicularly to the axial direction of the rope 200. In this configuration, the clamping groove 231 forms one or more annular limiting structures around the rope 200. When closed, it is equivalent to setting a transverse clamp on the outer periphery of the rope 200, which not only effectively prevents axial movement, but also forms line contact or small-area surface contact in a local area, avoiding deformation of the rope 200 or damage to the coating layer caused by large-area compression.

[0095] In some alternative embodiments, the rope end shaping device 100 further includes a drive mechanism 30 for driving at least one of the shaping part 10 and the fixing part 20 to move along a first direction.

[0096] The driving mechanism 30 is used to drive at least one of the shaping part 10 and the fixing part 20 to move along the first direction of the rope body 200 to achieve the relative movement between the softened rope end 201 and the forming hole 11, thereby completing the shaping of the rope end 201.

[0097] Specifically, in one embodiment, the drive mechanism 30 is connected to the shaping part 10 and drives the shaping part 10 to move along a first direction, while the fixing part 20 remains stationary. In this mode, the heat-treated and softened rope end 201 is clamped and positioned by the fixing part 20, and the shaping part 10 moves away from the fixing part 20, so that the rope end 201 passively passes through the forming hole 11 to complete the shaping.

[0098] In another embodiment, the drive mechanism 30 is connected to the fixing part 20 and drives the fixing part 20 to move along the first direction, while the shaping part 10 remains fixed. At this time, the fixing part 20 drives the entire rope body 200 to move, so that the softened rope end 201 actively passes into the stationary shaping hole 11 to achieve shaping.

[0099] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, the rope end shaping device 100 is provided with two drive mechanisms 30, which are independently connected to the shaping part 10 and the fixing part 20, respectively, and can drive the two to move in opposite directions along the first direction synchronously or according to a preset sequence.

[0100] Furthermore, in combination Figures 1-3 and Figure 7 When the shaping part 10 includes an openable first mold 131 and a second mold 132, and the fixing part 20 includes an openable first fixing member 21 and a second fixing member 22, the rope end shaping device 100 further includes a pressing drive member 40, which is used to press the first mold 131 and the second mold 132 against each other, and / or press the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 against each other.

[0101] The clamping drive 40 mentioned in this application may be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, etc.

[0102] For example, the pressing drive 40 is installed on the outside of the shaping part 10, and its output end abuts against the back side of the first mold piece 131. After closing in place, it continues to apply pressure, forcing the first mold piece 131 and the second mold piece 132 to be tightly pressed together along the mold closing surface.

[0103] Similarly, a clamping drive member 40 can be provided in the fixing part 20 to push the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 to clamp the rope 200 and ensure that the clamping surfaces are in full contact.

[0104] To further improve the closing stability and clamping uniformity of the shaping part 10 or the fixing part 20, clamping drive members 40 can be respectively provided on the first mold petal 131 and the second mold petal 132 or the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22, so that the clamping force is applied synchronously or symmetrically on both sides, thereby effectively avoiding the mold petal or fixing member skewing, misalignment or local gap that may be caused by unilateral force, ensuring that the rope body 200 can stably pass through the forming hole 11, and ensuring the shaping accuracy of the rope end 201.

[0105] Furthermore, in some such Figures 1-3 and Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the rope end shaping device 100 further includes a heating device 50, which is located at the end of the shaping part 10 away from the fixing part 20 and is movable relative to the shaping part 10.

[0106] In the above technical solution, the heating device 50 is used to soften the rope end 201.

[0107] The heating device 50 may include a flame gun, electric heating elements such as resistance wire, infrared lamps, induction coils, hot air guns, etc., and is suitable for different materials such as metal ropes or fiber ropes. Flame heating provides rapid temperature rise and is suitable for steel wire ropes. Electric heating or hot air heating provides uniform and gentle temperature and is suitable for heat-sensitive materials such as plastic-coated ropes and synthetic fiber ropes. Here, the heating device 50 can be flexibly selected according to process requirements to ensure that the rope end 201 is sufficiently softened without damaging the rope itself.

[0108] When the heating device 50 is a flame torch, the heating device 50 also includes a protective cover 51 covering the outer periphery of the flame torch. The protective cover 51 is at least partially open at the end facing the shaping part (10). This arrangement is to allow the rope end (201) to pass smoothly and receive flame heating, while blocking the flame from spreading in other directions, reducing the impact of heat radiation on surrounding components (such as the drive mechanism 30 or the operator), and preventing airflow disturbance from causing flame deviation, thereby improving heating stability and operational safety.

[0109] The relative mobility between the heating device 50 and the shaping section 10 allows the distance between them to be flexibly adjusted according to the different materials, diameters, or required heat treatment lengths of the rope 200. For example, for metal ropes with high thermal conductivity, the distance between the heating zone and the forming hole 11 can be shortened to prevent excessive heat loss. For fiber ropes 200, the spacing can be appropriately increased to avoid localized overheating and carbonization. This design enhances the device's adaptability to various types of ropes 200.

[0110] In addition, in automated cyclic operations, the heating device 50 can actively retract from the shaping area after heating is completed, providing an unobstructed passage for the rope end 201 to pass through the forming hole 11, avoiding interference and improving cycle efficiency.
