Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a wire end crop discharging device.

As shown in Figure 1, a bundled coil a of wire obtained in the final process of a cotton production line is loaded onto a nanger b, and then the end of the wire is cut off using a hydraulic cutter in order to remove seam flaws, etc. In addition, the cut wire ends are manually pulled out and processed. However, these tasks had the following problems.

Because workers directly handle the wire coils, injuries and unexpected disasters are likely to occur due to the wire bouncing off. In addition, the work of pulling out the wire end crop is inefficient since the end is not necessarily exposed on the outer surface, and it takes a lot of time to find the end. It has become a grueling job to withstand. In addition, sometimes the ends of the focusing coil are not completely cut and separated, so it is necessary to provide a separate line to loosen the focusing coil, which also causes the shape of the focusing coil to be distorted.

The above problem can be solved by cutting the end of the wire rod with a cutting processing device, separating it into the product wire rod and the wire end crop, and sending it to the next process on a conveyor, but in that case, the wire end on the conveyor It is necessary to discharge the crops to the outside of the conveyor and send only the product wire to the next process.

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems, and includes a traveling trolley installed on the side of a conveyor for conveying cut and separated product wire rods and wire rod end crops so as to be able to run along the conveyor; The arm is equipped with an arm that can be raised and lowered and rotated, and a wire end crop clamping device that is attached to the tip of the arm. A clamp claw attached to the interlocking shaft and a pair of interlocking gears attached to each of the interlocking shafts and meshing with each other operate in the expansion and contraction direction to rotate one of the interlocking shafts in the forward and reverse directions, and also rotate the interlocking shaft in the forward and reverse directions. and a cylinder on the arm side that transmits the rotation of the interlocking shaft to the other interlocking shaft through the interlocking gear and rotates the interlocking shaft in the opposite direction to the one interlocking shaft. Regarding the discharge device, its purpose is:
It is possible to automate the discharge of the wire end crops to the outside of the conveyor, and to do so safely. The wire end crop can be lifted and discharged, reducing the installation space for the discharge device. The wire end crop can be discharged while moving, and the discharge position can be set arbitrarily. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wire rod end crop discharging device that can clamp the wire rod end crops in a bundled state using a clamping device and discharge the wire rod end crops without dispersing them.

Next, the wire rod end crop discharging device of the present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Next, the operation of the wire end crop discharging device will be explained. Product wire rod 2 and Bot crop _2-2 cut and separated by the cutting equipment in the pre-treatment process
Top crop _2-1 is conveyed by conveyor 1 in the direction of the arrow. When the crop detection sensor _3-1 detects a crop, _{the traveling cart 3-3} ^starts traveling on _{the traveling rail 3-4} ^. At this time, the variable speed control device 3 _-2 controls the traveling speed of the traveling trolley 3 _-3 ,

is activated, the pair of upper and lower clamp claws clamp Bot crop _2-2 , and each pair of clamp claws
When the Bot crop _2-2 is clamped, the variable speed control device _3-2 controls the traveling trolley _3-3 to move backward toward the top crop _2-1 , and the top crop detection sensor _3-11 activates the top crop 2-1 _. When detecting ₁ ,
The cylinder _3-16 of the crop clamp device on the rear side of the tip of the arm _3-6 operates, and the pair of upper and lower clamp claws _3-18 clamp the top crop _2-1 .
Also, when each clamp claw _3-18 clamps the top crop _2-1 , the pinion gear drive motor _3-7
is started in the other direction, and its rotation is transferred to pinion gear 3.
Send _-14 and raise arm 3 _-6 . Further, in this ascending stage, the variable speed control device 3 _-2 causes the traveling trolley 3 _-3 to travel in synchronization with the conveyor 1. In this way, the traveling cart _3-3 is made to travel in synchronization with the conveyor 1 by the clamped Bot crops 2-2 _{and 2-2} that hang down as the arm _3-6 rises.
This is to prevent Top Crop _2-1 from becoming entangled with the subsequent product wire 2. Also, each of the above crops 2 _-2 , 2
_-1 rises to a position where it does not touch the following product wire 2, start the swing motor _3-12 , rotate the arm _3-6 horizontally at a predetermined angle via the shaft _3-5 , and remove the clamped Bot crop. 2 _-2 and Top crop 2

Eject Bot crop _2-2 and Top clamp _2-1 . After discharging these crops, the traveling cart _3-3 returns to a predetermined position and waits for discharging the next Bot crop and Top crop.

The wire end crop discharging device of the present invention is constructed as described above, and the wire end crop 2 _-1 ,
The discharge of _2-2 to the outside of conveyor 1 can be automated and can be carried out safely. Furthermore, the wire rod terminal crops 2 _-1 and 2 _-2 can be lifted and discharged, and the installation space for the discharge device can be reduced. Further, the wire end crops 2 _-1 and 2 _-2 can be discharged while moving, and the discharge position can be set arbitrarily. Furthermore, the wire end crops 2 _-1 and 2 _-2 are attached to the front and rear clamping devices 3 _-9.
This has the effect of allowing the crops to be clamped in a bundled state and being able to be discharged without dispersing the crops. The ejecting device of the present invention may be used alone as shown in FIG. 2, or may be mounted on a traveling truck of a cutting device.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and that various design modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. .
