Detailed Implementation

[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a packaging device for a cable reel, mainly comprising a support mechanism 100, a feeding mechanism 200, a nailing mechanism 300, and a vision mechanism 400. The support mechanism 100 supports and drives the cable reel 500 to rotate, the feeding mechanism 200 and the nailing mechanism 300 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cable reel 500, and the vision mechanism 400 is arranged along the axial direction of the cable reel 500.

[0020] In a further embodiment, combined withFigure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the supporting mechanism 100 includes a large base 110 and two symmetrically arranged rotating components 120. Each rotating component 120 includes a first frame 121 fixed to the base 110. A movable base plate 124 is mounted on the first frame 121, and the base plate 124 is slidably connected to the first frame 121 via a side slider rail 125. A cylinder 122 is mounted on the base plate 124, and the movable end of the cylinder 122 is fixed to the base plate 124 via a connecting plate 123. Thus, the extension and retraction of the cylinder 122 can drive the entire base plate 124 and its components to move along the rail to accommodate cable reels 500 of different specifications.

[0021] In a further embodiment, two sets of bearings 126 are mounted on the base plate 124, and a rotating rod 127 is fitted inside the bearing 126. Two sets of rotating gears 128 are fixed on the rotating rod 127 to support and mesh with the gear rings on both sides of the cable reel 500 to drive its rotation. One end of the rotating rod 127 is connected to a motor 129 through a transmission mechanism, which may be a speed reducer, with the motor 129 providing the rotational power.

[0022] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the loading mechanism 200 includes a second frame 210, on the upper part of which a picking robot 220 is mounted. This robot can be a multi-joint robot or a Cartesian coordinate robot. A picking mechanism 230 is mounted on the movable end of the picking robot 220. The picking mechanism 230 includes a picking plate 231, on which two sets of clamping cylinders 232 are mounted. Each clamping cylinder 232 drives a gripper 2321. The grippers 2321 are used to grip the stacked sealing plates 600 and, through the movement of the picking robot 220, precisely transport them to the packaging side of the cable reel 500.

[0023] like Figure 6 As shown, the nailing mechanism 300 is arranged opposite to the feeding mechanism 200, and includes a third frame 310. A nailing robot 320 is mounted on the third frame 310, and a nailing assembly 330 is mounted on the movable end of the nailing robot 320. The nailing assembly 330 includes a base plate 331 fixed to the robot. The base plate 331 is connected to a mounting plate 333 via an elastic element 332, such as a spring or a polyurethane pad. A nail gun 334 and a nail box 335 for supplying nails are mounted on the mounting plate 333. The design of the elastic element 332 effectively buffers the impact during the nailing process, protecting the equipment and ensuring nailing quality.

[0024] In a further embodiment, the vision mechanism 400 includes a fourth frame 410 on which a high-precision 3D camera 420 is mounted. The 3D camera 420 is used to acquire in real time the position information of the mounting holes on the cable reel 500 and the holes on the sealing plate 600 delivered by the material handling mechanism 230, and feeds this information back to the control system. The control system adjusts the rotation angle of the cable reel 500 (via the support mechanism 100) or the final position of the nailing assembly 330 accordingly to ensure that the nail gun 334 can accurately align with the holes for nailing.

[0025] The workflow of this utility model is as follows: First, the cable reel 500 is delivered to the carrying mechanism 100 by an external conveying device. Driven by the cylinder 122, the rotating gears 128 of the two sets of rotating components 120 approach each other, lifting and positioning the cable reel 500 from below. Then, the 3D camera 420 of the vision mechanism 400 performs a preliminary scan and positioning of the mounting holes on the side of the cable reel 500. The feeding mechanism 200 begins operation, and the picking robot 220 moves the picking mechanism 230 to the sealing plate pile. The clamping cylinder 232 drives the gripper 2321 to pick up a sealing plate 600. The picking robot 220 transports the sealing plate 600 to a predetermined position on the side of the cable reel 500. The motor 129 of the carrying mechanism 100 starts, driving the cable reel 500 to rotate slowly via the rotating gear 128. Simultaneously, the 3D camera 420 continuously monitors the relative positions of the holes on the sealing plate 600 and the holes on the cable reel 500. When the system detects that the holes are aligned, the motor 129 stops. Next, the nailing robot 320 of the nailing mechanism 300 drives the nailing assembly 330 forward based on the positioning data of the vision system, so that the nozzle of the nail gun 334 is precisely inserted into the aligned hole and nailing is performed. After nailing on one side is completed, the carrying mechanism 100 can drive the cable reel 500 to flip and repeat the above process to complete the sealing of the other side of the sealing plate.

[0026] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
