Beneficial effects

[0024] When winding the chain, first place the roll-loading rack on the winding station of the mounting plate. The lower end of the roll-loading rack is limited by the rack limit assembly, and the upper end is pressed by the clamping module. At this time, the rack is in a stable state in the axial direction and can rotate with the mounting plate. After the chain is riveted into a long chain, one end passes around the guide wheel on the feed platform and is fixed to the roll-loading rack. Then, the rotary drive assembly drives the mounting plate and the rack to rotate, automatically winding the chain onto the roll-loading rack. During the rotation of the roll-loading rack, the lifting drive assembly drives the lifting platform and the roll-loading rack to reciprocate up and down to ensure that the chain is evenly distributed on the roll-loading rack. After the winding is completed, the clamping module is reset, the rack limit assembly is unlocked, and the roll-loading rack and the two chains can be removed synchronously. In addition, the winding equipment of the present application can adapt to the winding storage of various types of chains and has good versatility.

[0025] The tensioning assembly provides a certain amount of motion buffering for the tensioning wheel and a certain amount of tension on the chain between the tensioning wheel and the winding rack, ensuring the chain's winding posture on the winding rack. Furthermore, if problems arise during the processing and winding of the chain, such as tight links or chain breaks, the tension of the tensioning assembly will change. The working status of the tensioning assembly can be used to effectively determine the processing and winding status of the chain, creating conditions for automated operation.

[0026] As the crossbeam swings relative to the frame, the crossbeam can have multiple position states, and there can also be multiple corresponding positions for the hoisting component loading and unloading roll loading rack, so the space for hoisting operation is larger and the operation is more flexible.

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] Example

[0044] As shown in FIG1 and FIG2 , a universal chain winding device includes a frame 1 , a feeding module 4 , a winding module 5 , a pressing module 2 and a unloading module 3 .

[0045] As shown in FIG1 and FIG2 , the frame 1 is provided with a feeding platform 11 , a lifting platform 12 and a lifting drive assembly 13 . The lifting drive assembly 13 is used to drive the lifting platform 12 to move up and down relative to the feeding platform 11 .

[0046] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 7, the lift drive assembly 13 includes a lift rod 131 and a lift drive unit 132. The lift rod 131 is vertically arranged and rotatably connected to the frame 1. The lift drive unit 132 is used to drive the lift rod 131 to rotate. A lift nut is connected to the lift platform 12 and is threadedly connected to the lift rod 131. The lifting operation of the lift platform 12 is achieved by a screw drive.

[0047] As shown in FIG7 , as a specific embodiment, the number of the lifting rods 131 is no less than three, and the lifting rods 131 are distributed in a ring around the mounting plate 53. To ensure consistent operation of the lifting rods 131, the number of the lifting drive unit 132 is one, and the lifting rods 131 are connected by a transmission member 133, wherein the transmission member 133 includes a bevel gear and a transmission rod.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the feeding module 4 includes a plurality of guide wheels 42 arranged on the feeding platform 11 .

[0049] As shown in Figures 3 and 4 , at least one of the guide wheels 42 is a tensioning wheel 41. The feed module 4 also includes a tensioning assembly comprising a swinging lever 43, which is rotatably connected to the feed platform 11. An elastic member (not shown) is disposed between the swinging lever 43 and the feed platform 11. The tensioning wheel 41 is connected to the feed platform 11 via the swinging lever 43.

[0050] The tensioning assembly can provide a certain amount of motion buffering capacity for the tensioning wheel 41 and a certain amount of tensioning force for the portion of the chain between the tensioning wheel 41 and the coil loading rack 6, thereby ensuring the chain is wound up on the coil loading rack 6. At the same time, a sensing element, such as a proximity switch or a pressure sensor, can be provided between the swinging rod 43 and the feed platform 11. When problems occur during the processing and winding of the chain, such as a tight link or chain breakage, the tension of the tensioning assembly will change. Based on the working status of the tensioning assembly, the processing and winding status of the chain can be effectively determined, creating conditions for automated operation.

[0051] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the winding module 5 includes a mounting plate 53 and a rotary drive assembly 51. The mounting plate 53 is rotatably mounted on the lifting platform 12, and the rotary drive assembly 51 is used to drive the mounting plate 53 to rotate. A winding station 52 is provided on the mounting plate 53, and a material rack limit assembly 54 is provided on the winding station 52.

[0052] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the rotary drive assembly 51 includes a driving gear, a driven gear, and a rotary drive member. The driven gear meshes with the driving gear, and the rotary drive member is used to drive the driving gear to rotate. The driven gear rotates synchronously with the mounting plate 53.

[0053] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the material rack limiting assembly 54 includes a plurality of limiting blocks, which are distributed in a ring around the rotation center of the mounting plate 53. The limiting blocks are detachably connected to the mounting plate 53. The limiting blocks are used to press the roll loading rack 6.

[0054] As shown in Figures 8-11, the compression module 2 includes a compression bracket, which is arranged on the lifting platform 12. The compression bracket is provided with a compression assembly 24. The compression assembly 24 includes a compression drive 241 and a compression head 242. The compression head 242 is connected to the working end of the compression drive 241 via a bearing.

[0055] As shown in Figures 8 to 11, specifically, the clamping bracket includes a clamping mounting seat 23 and two legs 22, one end of the leg 22 is hinged to the lifting platform 12, and the other end is hinged to the clamping mounting seat 23. The winding station 52 is located between the two legs 22, and the clamping assembly 24 is arranged on the clamping mounting seat 23. The clamping module 2 also includes a flip drive assembly 21, and the flip drive assembly 21 is used to drive the clamping bracket to rotate relative to the mounting plate 53. The clamping bracket has at least two states: in the first state, the clamping assembly 24 is located above the winding station 52, and in the second state, the clamping assembly 24 and the winding station 52 are offset in the horizontal direction.

[0056] During the reeling operation, the pressing bracket is in the first state, and the pressing assembly 24 presses the roll loading rack 6. After the reeling operation is completed, the pressing bracket is in the second state, leaving enough space for the disassembly and transportation of the roll loading rack 6.

[0057] As shown in Figure 11 , each leg 22 further includes at least two connecting rods 221. The connecting rods 221 within a leg 22 are of equal length and arranged relatively parallel to each other. The mounting plate 53, connecting rods 221, and clamping mount 23 are connected in a parallelogram configuration. The clamping mount 23 can only move in a translational manner relative to the mounting plate 53 and cannot rotate. This ensures that the clamping end of the clamping assembly 24 is always facing downward.

[0058] As shown in Figures 2, 12, 13 and 14, the unloading module 3 includes a crossbeam 32, which is located above the winding station 52 and extends horizontally to the outside of the lifting platform 12. The unloading module 3 also includes a hoisting assembly 33, which is slidably connected to the crossbeam 32. The hoisting assembly 33 is used to lift the roll loading rack 6 during loading and unloading, and to transfer the roll loading rack 6 along the crossbeam 32 between the winding station 52 and the area outside the lifting platform 12. Specifically, the hoisting assembly 33 includes an electric hoist. In order to balance the unbalanced load during loading and unloading, a counterweight block is provided at the bottom of the frame 1. Specifically, the counterweight block is arranged below the feed platform 11.

[0059] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 12 to 14, the crossbeam 32 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the center of rotation extends in the vertical direction. The unloading module 3 also includes a swing drive assembly 31, and the swing drive assembly 31 includes a load-bearing roller 311 and a swing drive member 312. The load-bearing roller 311 is rotatably connected to the crossbeam 32, and the rotation centerline of the load-bearing roller 311 is arranged along the length direction of the crossbeam 32. The load-bearing roller 311 is in rolling contact with the frame 1, and the swing drive member 312 is used to drive the load-bearing roller 311 to rotate. Specifically, the frame 1 includes a load-bearing rod, the crossbeam 32 is located below the load-bearing rod, the swing drive assembly 31 is arranged above the crossbeam 32, and the load-bearing rod is located between the load-bearing roller 311 and the crossbeam 32. The load of the crossbeam 32 is applied to the load-bearing rod through the load-bearing roller 311.

[0060] As the beam 32 swings relative to the frame 1, the beam 32 can have multiple position states. The swing range of the beam is shown as α in Figure 14. There can also be multiple corresponding positions for the hoisting component 33 to load and unload the roll loading rack 6, so the space for hoisting operation is larger and the operation is more flexible.

[0061] When winding the chain, the roll-loading frame 6 is first placed on the winding station 52 of the mounting plate 53. The lower end of the roll-loading frame 6 is restrained by the frame limit assembly 54, and the upper end is clamped by the clamping module 2. At this point, the frame is axially stable and can rotate with the mounting plate 53. After the chain is riveted into a long chain, one end passes over the guide wheel 42 on the feed platform 11 and is fixed to the roll-loading frame 6. The rotary drive assembly 51 then drives the mounting plate 53 and the frame to rotate, automatically winding the chain onto the roll-loading frame 6. As the roll-loading frame 6 rotates, the lifting drive assembly 13 drives the lifting platform 12 and the roll-loading frame 6 in reciprocating motion to ensure that the chain is evenly distributed on the roll-loading frame 6. After winding is completed, the clamping module 2 is reset, the frame limit assembly 54 is unlocked, and the roll-loading frame 6 and the two chains can be removed simultaneously.

[0062] In short, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
