Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bead chain processing equipment technology, and in particular to a bead chain sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Curtains are an indispensable decorative and practical tool in homes and offices, and one of the tools that drive curtains is the beaded chain. Different curtain products require the installation of beaded chains of different lengths.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, a beaded chain mainly consists of beads and a chain. The beads are spaced apart along the length of the chain, creating a straight structure for the entire chain. Beaded chains are produced continuously, resulting in a relatively long chain.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the beads on a normal beaded chain are spaced evenly. However, during production, it's inevitable that two beads may be adjacent to each other. Products with this quality issue need to be promptly removed. Currently, inspection is mostly done manually; however, this method can easily cause visual fatigue after prolonged work and therefore needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To facilitate the quality inspection of beaded chains and reduce the labor intensity of personnel, this application provides a beaded chain sorting device.

[0006] The bead chain sorting device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A bead chain sorting device includes a support base, a first gear, and a second gear. Both the first gear and the second gear are rotatably connected to the support base. The rotation axes of the second gear and the first gear are parallel to each other. The bead chain passes through the gap between the first gear and the second gear.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during inspection, the bead chain is passed through the gap between the first and second gears, and then an external force is applied to the bead chain. When the bead chain is qualified, it can be pulled smoothly, driving the first and second gears to rotate. When the bead chain is unqualified, it cannot pass through the gap, and the first and second gears cannot rotate. In this case, the worker needs to back the bead chain in the opposite direction of its movement and pull it out. The inspection process does not require the worker to observe the bead chain for a long time; the quality of the bead chain can be indirectly judged by whether the first and second gears are jammed. This facilitates the quality verification of the bead chain and reduces the labor intensity of personnel.

[0008] Preferably, the support base is further provided with a limiting rod, and the limiting rod has a limiting hole for the bead chain to pass through, and the bead chain passes through the limiting hole and the tooth gap in sequence.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting rod is used to limit the bead chain, and the bead chain passes through the limiting hole to restrict the direction of the bead chain when it is pulled.

[0010] Preferably, the support base is further provided with a support rod, which is located between the limiting rod and the first gear, and the support rod is used to support the bead chain.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the support rod is used to support the bead chain, reducing the possibility of the bead chain falling to the ground.

[0012] Preferably, the support base is further provided with a positioning rod, which is located between the limiting rod and the support rod. The positioning rod has a positioning groove for positioning the bead chain.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning rod is used to position the bead chain, and the bead chain is fed to the support rod along the positioning groove, reducing the possibility of the bead chain shifting position during the pulling process.

[0014] Preferably, the support base is further provided with a shearing component, which is close to the first gear and is used to cut the bead chain.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the quality of the beaded chain is found to be substandard, the staff will pull the beaded chain back a certain distance, and then use a cutting component to cut the substandard part of the beaded chain. After the cutting is completed, the quality of the beaded chain will continue to be inspected.

[0016] Preferably, the cutting assembly includes a drive member and an upper cutter. The support base has a lower cutter groove. The upper cutter is located directly above the lower cutter groove and is used to cut the bead chain. The drive member is connected to the upper cutter and is used to control the downward pressure of the upper cutter.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component controls the upper cutter to press along the direction close to the lower cutter groove, thereby realizing the cutting of the bead chain.

[0018] Preferably, two lower cutting grooves are provided in parallel, and two upper cutting blades are also provided. The two upper cutting blades correspond to the two lower cutting grooves respectively. A mounting plate is connected to the drive component, and the two upper cutting blades are both provided on the mounting plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, before cutting, the defective part of the bead chain is placed between the two lower cutting grooves, and then the driving component is used to control the two upper cutting blades to press down simultaneously, thereby removing the defective part of the bead chain.

[0020] Preferably, the support base is provided with a control button, which is connected to the drive component and used to control the operation of the drive component.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to cut the bead chain, the worker can straighten the bead chain by hand and then kick the control button to activate the drive unit so that the upper cutter can cut the bead chain.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: (1) By setting the first gear and the second gear, when the bead chain is qualified, the bead chain can be pulled smoothly and drive the first gear and the second gear to rotate. When the bead chain is unqualified, the bead chain cannot pass through the gap between the teeth, and the first gear and the second gear cannot rotate. At this time, the worker needs to back the bead chain in the opposite direction of the bead chain's movement and pull it out. The worker does not need to observe the bead chain for a long time to complete the inspection of the bead chain, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0023] (2) By setting a limit rod, the limit rod can limit the direction of the bead chain when it is pulled.

[0024] (3) By setting a shearing component, the shearing component can cut the defective parts of the bead chain and then continue to inspect the quality of the bead chain after cutting. Attached Figure Description

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics represented may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the technical terms "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection; a detachable connection; an integral part; or a mechanical connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples shown in this application, as well as the features of those embodiments or examples.

[0032] This application discloses a bead chain sorting device. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The bead chain sorting device includes a support base 1, a fixing block 2, a first gear 3, and a second gear 4. The support base 1 serves as a support carrier and is placed horizontally on the ground. The fixing block 2 is fixedly connected to the support base 1. The first gear 3 and the second gear 4 are both rotatably connected to the fixing block 2. The rotation axes of the first gear 3 and the second gear 4 are parallel to each other, and the bead chain passes through the gap between the teeth of the first gear 3 and the second gear 4.

[0033] During inspection, workers thread the beaded chain through the gap between the first gear 3 and the second gear 4, then apply external force. When the spacing between the beads is within acceptable limits, the chain can be pulled smoothly, causing the first gear 3 and the second gear 4 to rotate. When the chain is not within acceptable limits, it cannot pass through the gap, and the first gear 3 and the second gear 4 cannot rotate. In this case, workers need to pull the chain back in the opposite direction of its movement and remove it. The inspection process does not require prolonged observation of the chain; the quality of the chain can be indirectly judged by whether the first gear 3 and the second gear 4 are jammed, making it convenient to verify the quality of the chain and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0034] A limit rod 5, a positioning rod 6, and a support rod 7 are respectively installed on the support base 1. The limit rod 5, positioning rod 6, support rod 7, and fixing block 2 are distributed sequentially along the conveying direction of the bead chain. The limit rod 5 has a limit hole 8 for the bead chain to pass through, thereby limiting the direction of the bead chain when it is pulled. The positioning rod 6 is located between the limit rod 5 and the support rod 7, and is parallel to the limit rod 5. The positioning rod 6 has a positioning groove 9 for positioning the bead chain. The support rod 7 is located between the positioning rod 6 and the fixing block 2, and is parallel to the positioning rod 6 and is used to support the bead chain. The bead chain passing through the limit hole 8 is conveyed to the support rod 7 along the positioning groove 9. The positioning groove 9 can reduce the possibility of the bead chain shifting position when it is pulled. The support rod 7 supports the bead chain, reducing the possibility of the bead chain sagging between the support rod 7 and the fixing block 2.

[0035] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 A shearing assembly 10 is also installed on the support base 1. The shearing assembly 10 is located between the fixed block 2 and the support rod 7, and is used to cut the bead chain. Specifically, the shearing assembly 10 includes a drive member 101 and an upper cutter 102. A lower cutting groove 11 is provided on the support base 1. The upper cutter 102 is located directly above the lower cutting groove 11 and is used to cut the bead chain. The drive member 101 is fixedly connected to the upper cutter 102 and is used to control the upper cutter 102 to press down in a direction close to the lower cutting groove 11. In this embodiment, the drive member 101 is a linear cylinder. The piston rod of the linear cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper cutter 102 and controls the reciprocating movement of the upper cutter 102.

[0036] The linear cylinder has a mounting plate 12 fixedly connected to its piston rod. Two upper cutters 102 are arranged in parallel, both fixedly connected to the same side of the mounting plate 12. The fixing block 2 has two parallel lower cutter grooves 11, the positions of which correspond to the two upper cutters 102. Furthermore, a control button 13 is installed on the support base 1 near the fixing block 2. The control button 13 is connected to the linear cylinder and used to control its operation.

[0037] When a defective beaded chain is detected, the worker pulls the chain back a short distance, straightens it by hand, and places the defective section between the two lower cutting grooves 11. Then, the worker kicks the control button 13 to activate the linear cylinder, which controls the two upper cutting blades 102 to press down simultaneously, thus cutting off the defective part of the beaded chain. Using both hands and feet improves the smoothness of the connection between the inspection and cutting processes. After cutting is completed, the beaded chain continues to be inspected for quality.

[0038] The implementation principle of the bead chain sorting device in this embodiment is as follows: one end of the bead chain passes sequentially through the surface of the limiting hole 8, the positioning groove 9, and the supporting rod 7, and finally passes through the gap between the first gear 3 and the second gear 4. When the bead chain is qualified, it can be pulled smoothly, driving the first gear 3 and the second gear 4 to rotate. When the bead chain is unqualified, it cannot pass through the gap, and the first gear 3 and the second gear 4 cannot rotate. At this time, the worker needs to back the bead chain in the opposite direction of its movement and pull it out. The worker can complete the inspection of the bead chain without having to observe it for a long time, thus reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
