[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-6. The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic packaging production line for carbon fiber coils, including a robot loading and scanning device 3, a roller conveyor line 1, a weighing device 4, a coil diameter measuring device 5, a manual grading auxiliary device 6, an automatic labeling device 7, an adaptive heat shrinking device 8, a sorting device 9, and a wire car 10; the roller conveyor line 1 is composed of a roller conveyor line 1 body and a stop cylinder, and a flow tool 2 is installed on the roller conveyor line 1 body; the coil diameter measuring device 5 is used to measure the coil diameter of the wire coil; the manual grading auxiliary device 6 is composed of a wire coil lifting device and a computer grading software; the automatic labeling device 7 is composed of a labeling machine and a labeling software; the adaptive heat shrinking device 8 is composed of an automatic film changing rack and a heat shrinking machine; the sorting device 9 is used to sort the wire coils; the wire car 10 stops in a designated area, and the flow tool 2 can stop at a specific position and be stopped by the stop cylinder, and the stop cylinder is sorted It is separately arranged next to the weighing device 4, the coil diameter measuring device 5, the manual grading auxiliary device 6, the automatic labeling device 7, the adaptive heat shrinkage device 8, and the sorting device 9. A mounting hole is provided at the bottom of the flow tooling 2, and an RFID tag is installed in the mounting hole. The RFID tag can store and read the barcode information, weight, coil diameter information, etc. of the wire coil thereon. The robot loading and scanning device 3 includes a robot body 301 and a bracket 303. A robot gripper 302 is installed on the top of the robot body 301; a scanning transfer device 304 is installed on the bracket 303. The weighing device 4 includes a mounting frame 401, and two double-claw mobile lifting mechanisms 402 are symmetrically installed on the mounting frame 401; a steel structure frame 403 is installed on the roller conveyor line 1, and a high-precision balance 404 is installed on the top of the steel structure frame 403; a groove for the flow tooling 2 to pass through is provided at the bottom of the steel structure frame 403.

[0038] Specifically, first, the filament cart 10 carrying the carbon fiber filament roll is manually pushed to the limit mechanism for positioning. After the filament cart 10 is positioned, the person exits the area of ​​the robot loading and scanning device 3 and presses the start button.

[0039] The robot body 301 grabs a plurality of carbon fiber spools from the spooling machine 10 through the robot gripper 302 and moves them close to the code scanning transfer device 304. At the same time, the motor on the robot gripper 302 controls the rotation of the carbon fiber spools.

[0040] At this time, the barcode reader installed on the barcode scanning transfer device 304 works to scan the label inside the carbon fiber coil core. When the robot gripper 302 controls the carbon fiber coil to rotate to a certain angle, the barcode reader reads the barcode information and sends it to the PLC. The robot body 301 places the scanned carbon fiber coil on the flow tooling 2 on the roller conveyor line 1. The PLC sends the barcode information of the corresponding carbon fiber coil to the corresponding RFID tag installed on the flow tooling 2 for record.

[0041] The roller conveyor line 1 keeps rotating, driving the transfer tool 2 to the next station;

[0042] When the transfer tooling 2 reaches the weighing device 4, it is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder on the roller conveyor line 1. The double-claw mobile lifting mechanism 402 can grab the carbon fiber filament roll from the transfer tooling 2 on the roller conveyor line 1 and place it on the high-precision balance 404 for weighing. It is then placed back on the transfer tooling 2. The weighing data is then written into the RFID tag by the PLC.

[0043] After weighing, the transfer tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the coil diameter measuring device 5, where it is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder. Measuring the diameter of the carbon fiber coil is a verification indicator for judging the quality of the carbon fiber. A through-beam laser sensor is used to measure the carbon fiber coil. After the measurement is completed, the data is written into the RFID tag by the PLC.

[0044] After the measurement is completed, the flow tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the manual grading auxiliary device 6, where it is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder. The RFID reader / writer reads the barcode, weight, and roll diameter information of the carbon fiber coil on the flow tooling 2, and after processing, feeds back to the human verification software. The coil lifting device grabs the carbon fiber coil, lifts it, and rotates it 360° to facilitate manual inspection of the burrs on the carbon fiber coil. The manual inspection software then determines the grade based on the information from the human verification software, and the grade information is written into the RFID tag at the same time.

[0045] The transfer tooling 2 is then transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the automatic labeling device 7, where it is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder. The RFID reader / writer reads the barcode information of the carbon fiber filament roll on the transfer tooling 2, and the labeling software automatically generates a label. The label is then attached to the inside of the carbon fiber filament roll tube core through the cooperation of the cylinder and labeling head on the labeling machine.

[0046] Then the transfer tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the adaptive heat shrinking device 8, where it is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder. An automatic film changing rack is set in front of the heat shrinking machine, which can switch heat shrink films of different heights according to the specifications of different filament rolls. After the carbon fiber filament roll passes through the heat shrinking machine, heat shrinkage is completed;

[0047] Then the flow tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the sorting device 9 and is stopped by the stop cylinder. The RFID reader reads the grade information of the carbon fiber coil on the flow tooling 2. The PLC automatically controls the roller conveyor line 1 according to the grade of the carbon fiber coil and transports it to the conveyor line of the corresponding grade, thereby completing the sorting of the carbon fiber coil. Then, the corresponding grade conveyor line is manually released by pressing a button on the right side of the production line. The roller conveyor line 1 delivers the corresponding grade of carbon fiber coil to the operator, who picks up the material and packs it into boxes.

[0048] In summary, the present invention uses a robot loading and scanning device 3, a roller conveyor line 1, a flow tooling 2, a weighing device 4, a roll diameter measuring device 5, a manual grading auxiliary device 6, an automatic labeling device 7, an adaptive heat shrinking device 8, and a sorting device 9 on a packaging production line to automatically complete a series of operations such as grabbing the untouchable surface of the carbon fiber filament roll, scanning the label inside the roll core, weighing, measuring the roll diameter, grading, labeling, heat shrink packaging, and sorting in combination with the owner's process requirements. The overall application range is wide, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of manual labor, save the number of operators, improve the product packaging quality, and improve the accuracy of product inspection.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1, 3, and 4. The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic packaging production line for carbon fiber coils, a limiting mechanism is provided on the outside of the silk car 10, the limiting mechanism includes a foot 11 connected to the ground by a fixing bolt, a connecting member 12 is fixed on the top of the foot 11, the connecting member 12 is movably connected to a long arm 14 through a movable member 13, and a fixing member 15 is fixed at one end of the long arm 14; the fixing member 15 is in contact with the silk car 10.

[0051] Specifically, since the long arm 14 is movably connected to the connecting part 12 through the movable part 13, the angle of the long arm 14 can be directly moved, and the fixing part 15 at one end of the long arm 14 can be abutted against the wire cart 10, so the wire cart 10 can be limited and fixed. Therefore, the present invention can effectively prevent the wire cart 10 from being offset by limiting and fixing the wire cart 10, thereby ensuring the packaging efficiency of the carbon fiber coil.

[0052] Working principle:

[0053] First, the silk cart 10 carrying the carbon fiber filament roll is manually pushed to the limiting mechanism for positioning. After the limiting and fixing of the silk cart 10 is completed, the personnel exit the robot loading and scanning device 3 area and press the start button. The robot body 301 grabs multiple carbon fiber filament rolls from the silk cart 10 through the robot gripper 302 and moves them close to the scanning transfer device 304. At the same time, the motor on the robot gripper 302 controls the rotation of the carbon fiber filament roll. At this time, the barcode reader installed on the scanning transfer device 304 works to scan the label inside the carbon fiber filament roll tube core. When the robot gripper 302 controls the carbon fiber filament roll to rotate to a certain angle, the barcode reader reads the barcode information and sends it to the PLC. The robot body 301 places the scanned carbon fiber filament roll on the flow tooling 2 on the roller conveyor line 1. The PLC sends the barcode information of the corresponding carbon fiber filament roll to the corresponding RFID tag installed on the flow tooling 2 for record.

[0054] As the roller conveyor line 1 keeps rotating, it drives the flow tooling 2 to flow to the next station. When the flow tooling 2 reaches the weighing device 4, it is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder on the roller conveyor line 1. The double-claw mobile lifting mechanism 402 can grab the carbon fiber filament roll from the flow tooling 2 on the roller conveyor line 1 and put it on the high-precision balance 404 for weighing, and then put it back on the flow tooling 2. The weighing data is then written into the RFID tag by the PLC. After the weighing is completed, the flow tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the roll diameter measuring device 5 and is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder. The diameter of the carbon fiber filament roll is measured to judge the quality of the carbon fiber. A review indicator uses a beam laser sensor to measure the carbon fiber coil. After the measurement is completed, the data is written into the RFID tag by the PLC. After the measurement is completed, the flow tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the manual positioning auxiliary device 6 and is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder. The RFID reading and writing device reads the barcode, weight, and coil diameter information of the carbon fiber coil on the flow tooling 2, and feeds back to the human verification software after processing. The coil lifting device grabs the carbon fiber coil, lifts and rotates it 360°, which makes it easier for humans to see the burrs on the carbon fiber coil. The human will then comprehensively determine the position of the coil based on the information on the human verification software. The software determines the grade, and the grade information is written into the RFID tag at the same time. Then the flow tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the automatic labeling device 7, which is stopped by the stop cylinder. The RFID reader reads the barcode information of the carbon fiber coil on the flow tooling 2, and the labeling software automatically generates a label. The cylinder and labeling head on the labeling machine cooperate to stick the label to the inside of the carbon fiber coil tube core. Then the flow tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the adaptive heat shrink device 8, which is stopped by the stop cylinder. An automatic film changing rack is set in front of the heat shrink machine, which can switch to different heights of heat shrinkable film according to different coil sizes. Shrink film, the carbon fiber roll is shrunk after passing through the heat shrink machine, and then the flow tooling 2 continues to be transported along the roller conveyor line 1 to the sorting device 9 and is stopped and positioned by the stop cylinder. The RFID reader reads the grade information of the carbon fiber roll on the flow tooling 2, and the PLC automatically controls the roller conveyor line 1 according to the grade of the carbon fiber roll, and transports it to the conveyor line of the corresponding grade, thereby completing the sorting of the carbon fiber roll. Then, the corresponding grade conveyor line is released manually by pressing the button on the right side of the production line, and the roller conveyor line 1 delivers the corresponding grade of carbon fiber roll to the operator, who picks up the material and packs it.

[0055] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to these embodiments may be made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and these changes and modifications still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
