In high-speed rod collection volume station, the transfer arm coiling load wagon that delivery is coiled and fixed arm will be coiled and be transported to C type hook place after holding tightly and coiling, and make the center line alignment of center line and the C type hook coiled, then carry out unloading volume.This controls the position coiled with regard to needing, and to coil position control precision and coil measurement of length and have much relations.
In the prior art, coiling length is coil scrambler on load wagon transfer arm and proximity switch carries out measuring by being positioned at.When there is power down or mechanical fault, the information dropout of scrambler, therefore relevant to encoder information interlock protection is ineffective.Meanwhile, because scrambler is not direct measurement data, but indirect inspection data, fine error can be there is with physical location.Further, scrambler is connected with motor shaft, and in actual motion, the factor such as vibrations, skidding of motor shaft all can cause the reading error of scrambler.
In addition, the transfer arm of load wagon is coiled at collection volume station by chain drive, due to reasons such as skidding or after operation a period of time, the null position coiling load wagon transfer arm can change.Using the distance of ruler actual measurement transfer arm and fixed arm and coiling in the process of the distance that load wagon hooks to C type zero point, also there will be fine error.The accumulation of above-mentioned error makes measurement coil length to there will be very large deviation.
Summary of the invention
For the defect of above-mentioned prior art, the object of this invention is to provide a kind of suitable system and measure the length coiled accurately, the control accuracy coiling position can be ensured, increase work efficiency.
For achieving the above object, the present invention adopts following technical scheme:
A length measuring system is coiled at collection volume station based on distance measuring sensor, described in coil length measuring system and comprise the signal reflex plate coiled load wagon He lay respectively at described vehicle both sides; Wherein, described in coil load wagon side be transfer arm, opposite side is fixed arm, installs the first distance measuring sensor in the kinematic axis position, bottom of described transfer arm; The direction of measurement of described first distance measuring sensor is towards the direction of described fixed arm; In the edge coiling load wagon of described transfer arm side, the second distance measuring sensor is installed; The direction of measurement of described second distance measuring sensor is contrary with the direction of measurement of described first distance measuring sensor.
In such scheme preferably, described first distance measuring sensor and described second distance measuring sensor are any one in ultrasound wave, laser or infrared distance measuring sensor.
In such scheme preferably, when described coil load wagon load coil time, described transfer arm and on described first distance measuring sensor move towards the direction of described fixed arm in the lump and coil described in clamping.
In such scheme preferably, when described transfer arm stops the time of movement more than 500ms, coil described in described first distance measuring sensor identification and clamped by described transfer arm and described fixed arm.
In such scheme preferably, when described coil be clamped after, the original fixed range between described transfer arm and described fixed arm is deducted described first distance measuring sensor walking distance, can draw and coil length.

Embodiment
The present invention program is understood better in order to make those skilled in the art person, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment is only the embodiment of a part of the present invention, instead of whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not making the every other embodiment obtained under creative work prerequisite, should belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
The present invention eliminates scrambler of the prior art and four proximity switches.The left side coiling load wagon that the loading of described system is coiled is transfer arm, and right side is fixed arm.When coil on load wagon place coil time, described transfer arm moves to described fixed arm and clamps and coils.
Described system arranges the first distance measuring sensor in the position of the bottom kinematic axis coiling load wagon transfer arm, and described distance measuring sensor can be any in ultrasound wave, laser or infrared distance measuring sensor.The direction of measurement of described first distance measuring sensor is towards the described fixed arm direction coiling load wagon, install second distance measuring sensor again additional in the edge coiling the transfer arm on the left of load wagon, its range finding direction is the direction coiling load wagon distance left side wall.
In order to ensure the reliable reflection of signal, install at the range finding reference position place in the left side and right side of coiling load wagon the signal reflex plate that surface irregularity is beneficial to reflection additional.Making to coil load wagon can the distance of the signal reflex plate on the left of measuring distance and right side simultaneously, plays redundancy protecting, judges the physical location coiling load wagon.
Be illustrated in figure 1 system architecture schematic diagram when unloaded is coiled.When coil load wagon do not load coil time, described two distance measuring sensors coiled on load wagon, first distance measuring sensor signal reflex plate to the right transmits, and the second distance measuring sensor signal reflex plate to the left transmits, and measures the physical location coiling load wagon.
Be illustrated in figure 2 the system architecture schematic diagram loaded when coiling.When coiling load wagon and judging by the distance measuring sensor of two on it position arrival dress volume position coiling load wagon, transfer arm on it moves to fixed arm direction, first distance measuring sensor moves together along with transfer arm, think after the position of transfer arm is no longer moved beyond 500ms coil clamped.First distance measuring sensor calculates the distance of its walking, and because raw range between transfer arm and fixed arm is fixing, this original fixed range deducts the distance of its walking, can draw and coil length.
For the control of pallet, the system that to be illustrated in figure 3 described in above-below direction is for the schematic diagram of pallet.Direction of motion becomes moving up and down of vertical direction from moving left and right of horizontal direction.In cost-effective situation, only can retain the first distance measuring sensor, coordinate proximity switch as redundancy protecting simultaneously.
