Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile machinery and equipment technology, and in particular to an in-machine charging mechanism for a sliver can robot. Background Technology

[0002] Sliver can robots are core equipment for intelligent logistics in textile workshops, primarily responsible for the automated transfer of cotton sliver cans between various production equipment. By replacing manual intervention and achieving intelligent scheduling of cotton sliver cans, this equipment can effectively improve workshop production efficiency and reduce labor costs. Due to the need for long-term continuous operation, sliver can robots require periodic power replenishment to maintain continuous operation. Currently, the industry commonly adopts an external charging mode, which involves setting up fixed charging stations outside the textile equipment area to provide charging services for the robots. However, existing external charging methods have three major drawbacks that directly affect equipment operating efficiency and factory production benefits: First, fixed charging stations require independent production land, increasing the difficulty of workshop layout planning and causing waste of site resources; second, robots need to interrupt their work to go to a fixed area for charging, which not only increases the computational complexity and scheduling difficulty of the scheduling system, but also significantly reduces the proportion of effective working time of the equipment; third, in order to improve charging efficiency and shorten charging time, external charging mostly adopts electrode contact charging technology. This technology has extremely high requirements for the positioning accuracy and operational stability of the robot, and in the complex environment of textile workshops with many fibers and high dust, it is easy to cause safety hazards such as arcing and short circuits due to poor electrode contact. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned defects of external charging of the strip robot, the present invention provides an internal charging mechanism for the strip robot.

[0004] An embodiment of this utility model provides an in-machine charging mechanism for a strip-tube robot, comprising: A bottom plate for patching the can is fixedly installed in the patching area of ​​the drawing frame, and the bottom plate for patching the can has a hollow groove. The charging tray has a wireless charging module inside and a partition on top. The charging tray is set in the slot, and the partition can be flush with the bottom plate of the charging cylinder. The lifting mechanism includes a support base plate, two scissor lift brackets, a push rod, and a cylinder. The two scissor lift brackets are respectively disposed on both sides of the charging tray. Each scissor lift bracket includes an active support rod and a driven support rod. The middle part of the active support rod is rotatably connected to the middle part of the driven support rod. The upper end of the active support rod is rotatably fixed to the charging tray. The upper end of the driven support rod is laterally connected to the charging tray, and the lower end is rotatably fixed to the support base plate. The lower ends of the two active support rods are connected to the push rod, and the cylinder is connected to the push rod.

[0005] Furthermore, the side of the charging tray is provided with a constraint groove, and the upper end of the driven support rod is provided with a rotatably connected roller, which is slidably disposed in the constraint groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the constraint groove is a horizontally arranged waist-shaped groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper end of the driven support rod is also provided with an upper roller connected to the roller shaft, and the upper roller can roll along the bottom surface of the partition.

[0008] Furthermore, the supporting base plate is provided with a fixed support, the charging tray is provided with a movable support, the movable support and the fixed support are located on the same vertical line, the upper end of the active support rod is rotatably connected to the movable support, and the lower end of the driven support rod is rotatably connected to the fixed support.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also includes a connecting shaft, and the middle portions of the two scissor brackets are rotatably connected to the two ends of the connecting shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a buffer, which is disposed on the movement trajectory of the push rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by the embodiments of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model discloses an in-machine charging mechanism for a strip-making robot, which is arranged in the strip-making machine's canning area. When the robot is passing through the charging mechanism normally and does not require charging, the scissor fork bracket retracts, and the charging tray sinks to make the partition flush with the canning bottom plate, allowing the strip-making robot to walk through the canning bottom plate. When the strip-making robot that needs charging walks to the charging mechanism, the lifting mechanism drives the scissor fork bracket to unfold via a cylinder, raising the charging tray and causing the wireless charging module to rise close to the battery at the bottom of the strip-making robot for wireless charging. The strip-making robot completes charging while waiting at the canning position, greatly improving the working efficiency of the strip-making robot; avoiding the occupation of independent production space and improving the utilization rate of factory space.

[0015] 2. The present invention provides an in-machine charging mechanism for a strip-tube robot, which enables the strip-tube robot to complete charging during the replenishment process, avoiding the need for the strip-tube robot to interrupt its work journey to go to a fixed area for charging. This reduces the computational complexity and scheduling difficulty of the scheduling system, reduces the proportion of effective working time of the equipment, and realizes the efficient use of the strip-tube robot.

[0016] 3. The present invention provides an in-machine charging mechanism for a strip-tube robot, which uses wireless charging technology to charge the strip-tube robot. It only requires controlling the strip-tube robot to move to the empty slot position, and the lifting mechanism to lift the wireless charging module to complete the docking before charging. It meets the requirements for positioning accuracy and operational stability of the strip-tube robot, and avoids safety hazards such as arcing and short circuits caused by poor electrode contact.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 The present invention provides an in-machine charging mechanism for a sliver robot, which is applied to a drawing machine and mainly includes a bottom plate 1 for filling the sliver, a charging tray 5 and a lifting mechanism.

[0026] The canister base plate 1 is fixedly installed in the canister patching area of ​​the drawing frame, and the canister base plate 1 has a slot. The canister base plate 1 is horizontally installed and fixed in the canister patching area of ​​the drawing frame on the channel for the movement of the canister robot.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 3 , 4 5. The charging tray 5 has a wireless charging module 6 inside and a partition 2 on top. The charging tray 5 is set in the empty slot, and the partition 2 can be flush with the bottom plate 1 of the repair cylinder. Specifically, a lifting mounting plate 3 is welded and installed on the edge of the empty slot on the bottom plate 1 of the repair cylinder. A partition support plate 4 is installed on the inner side of the lifting mounting plate 3. When the partition 2 is flush with the bottom plate 1 of the repair cylinder, its bottom is exactly supported on the partition support plate 4.

[0028] The shape of the partition 2 is approximately the same as the shape of the empty slot, allowing the partition 2 to move up and down within the empty slot. When the partition 2 moves to the upper end of the empty slot, it is flush with the bottom plate 1 of the filling cylinder, thereby forming a complete channel through which the strip cylinder robot can move. As an example, in this embodiment, both the partition 2 and the empty slot are rectangular in shape.

[0029] The wireless charging module 6 is fixedly installed inside the charging tray 5 and moves together with the charging tray 5. Specifically, the charging tray 5 is a rectangular groove structure with flanged edges. The flanged edges are attached to and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the partition 2, forming an installation space for the wireless charging module 6 inside the charging tray 5. The partition 2 is a nylon plate, and its bottom surface is attached to the upper surface of the wireless charging module 6. The partition 2 is made of nylon material to avoid interference with charging.

[0030] It should be noted that the specifications and model of the wireless charging module 6 can be flexibly set according to the battery of the strip robot, and the internal structure of the wireless charging module 6 is existing technology.

[0031] The lifting mechanism includes a support base plate 7, two scissor lift brackets, a push rod 15, and a cylinder 11. The edge of the support base plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting mounting plate 3, so that the support base plate 7 is exactly below the empty slot. The two scissor lift brackets are respectively arranged on both sides of the charging tray 5, and the two scissor lift brackets are arranged symmetrically. Each scissor lift bracket includes an active support rod 8 and a driven support rod 9. The middle part of the active support rod 8 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the driven support rod 9. The upper end of the active support rod 8 is rotatably fixed to the charging tray 5. The upper end of the driven support rod 9 is laterally connected to the charging tray 5, and the lower end is rotatably fixed to the support base plate 7. The lower ends of the two active support rods 8 are connected to the push rod 15, and the cylinder 11 is connected to the push rod 15.

[0032] Specifically, the supporting base plate 7 is provided with a fixed support 10, the charging tray 5 is provided with a movable support 12, the movable support 12 and the fixed support 10 are located on the same vertical line, the upper end of the active support rod 8 is rotatably connected to the movable support 12, and the lower end of the driven support rod 9 is rotatably connected to the fixed support 10.

[0033] To ensure smooth expansion and contraction of the scissor lift, the driven support rod 9 is equipped with an upper roller 17 connected to the roller 19 at its upper end. The upper roller 17 can roll along the bottom surface of the partition plate 2. Furthermore, the driving support rod 8 is equipped with a lower roller 18 at its lower end, which can roll along the support base plate 7. Thus, the rolling movement of the upper roller 17 and the lower roller 18 ensures smooth movement of the driving support rod 8 and the driven support rod 9.

[0034] To ensure that the upper end of the driven support rod 9 can move laterally in a predetermined direction, the side of the charging tray 5 is provided with a constraint groove 20, and the upper end of the driven support rod 9 is provided with a rotatably connected roller 19, which is slidably disposed within the constraint groove 20. The constraint groove 20 is generally configured as a horizontally arranged waist-shaped groove.

[0035] To ensure smooth and synchronized movement of the two scissor lift supports, the lifting mechanism further includes a connecting shaft 16, with the middle portions of the two scissor lift supports rotatably connected to both ends of the connecting shaft 16. That is, the middle portions of the active support rod 8 and driven support rod 9 of both scissor lift supports can be rotatably connected to one end of the connecting shaft 16, allowing the two scissor lift supports to move collaboratively under the drive of the connecting shaft 16.

[0036] Furthermore, the internal charging mechanism of the strip-tube robot of this utility model also includes a buffer 13, which is disposed on the movement trajectory of the push rod 15. As in this embodiment, the cylinder 11 is a slide cylinder 11, and the buffer 13 is disposed on the extension line of the piston rod of the cylinder 11. The buffer 13 is fixed to the support base plate 7 by a mounting bracket 14. When the cylinder 11 pushes the push rod 15 to move, the push rod 15 comes into contact with the buffer 13, which acts as a buffer for the push rod 15 to prevent violent collisions.

[0037] This utility model discloses an internal charging mechanism for a bar-shaped robot, which is divided into an inactive state (not requiring charging) and a working state (requiring charging) depending on whether the robot's battery needs charging.

[0038] In non-working state: The cylinder 11 extends to a predetermined position, causing the scissor bracket to retract and drive the charging bracket to descend until the partition 2 is flush with the bottom plate 1 of the filling cylinder. The partition 2 and the bottom plate 1 of the filling cylinder are spliced ​​together to form the movement channel of the strip cylinder robot.

[0039] Working state: The cylinder 11 retracts to another predetermined position, causing the scissor bracket to unfold, which in turn drives the charging bracket to rise, and the wireless charging module 6 to rise until the partition 2 is in contact with the battery at the bottom of the strip robot, and the wireless charging module 6 charges the battery.

[0040] In this document, the directional terms such as front, back, top, and bottom are defined based on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings and their relative positions to each other, solely for the purpose of clarity and convenience in expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that these are relative concepts and can vary depending on different methods of use and placement; the use of these directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0041] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described above can be combined with each other. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
