Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent
Application No. 2017106355364, filed on Jul. 31, 2017, which is
hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to an automatic non-woven
fabric laying device, belonging to the field of packaging
machinery.
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] Hubs need to be transferred, carried, stacked and the like
in the hub production, machining and packaging process, which is
mostly manually completed by operators. Laying non-woven fabrics
can keep hubs clean and avoid collision of the hubs.
[0004] When hubs are stacked, operators need to lay non-woven
fabrics on the bottom surface of each layer of hubs, measure the
size of the required non-woven fabrics during laying, and then
manually discharge them; because a large quantity of non-woven
fabrics need to be laid and the action is single, the operators
engaged in such work for a long term are easily weary in body and
mind; thus, the operators often forget to lay non-woven fabrics,
and hub collision caused by misoperation of the operators is
increasing, thereby increasing rejects in the product stacking
process and seriously influencing the economic benefits of
enterprises.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] Thus, the present application is aimed at providing an
automatic non-woven fabric laying device, which can meet the
automatic laying requirement of non-woven fabrics in the stacking
process of different wheels.
[0006] An automatic non-woven fabric laying device includes a
support, a guide plate A, a traction manipulator A, a cutting
manipulator, a non-woven fabric lifting mechanism, a guide roller
A, a guide plate B, a guide roller B, a guide roller C, a traction
manipulator B, a lead screw A, a guide plate C, a guide plate D and
a lead screw B.
[0007] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
non-woven fabric lifting mechanism mounted on one side of the
support is used for mounting and lifting a non-woven fabric, and
the non-woven fabric lifting mechanism is connected with the
support by a linear bearing and a linear guide rail, and
simultaneously provided with a linear displacement sensor for
detecting the required lifting height.
[0008] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
traction manipulator A and the traction manipulator B are used for
laying and pulling the non-woven fabric, and the displacements of
the traction manipulator A and the traction manipulator B are
automatically calculated according to the model of a hub, so that
the non-woven fabric meets the requirement for the laying
length.
[0009] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
traction manipulator A and the traction manipulator B are mounted
on the lead screw A, and can move axially on the lead screw A,
thereby completing traction and clamping on non-woven fabrics
having different widths.
[0010] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
traction manipulator A and the traction manipulator B are provided
with linear displacement sensors, and can be positioned and move in
the vertical direction via detection data of the displacement
sensors.
[0011] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the lead
screw A is mounted at the top of the support, and can reciprocate
along the support.
[0012] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the guide
roller A and the guide roller B realize automatic extension of the
non-woven fabric, and achieve the effect of increasing the traction
on the non-woven fabric.
[0013] In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the guide
plate A, the guide plate B, the guide plate C and the guide plate D
support the non-woven fabric; the guide plate A is articulated with
the guide plate B, and the guide plate C is articulated with the
guide plate D, thereby ensuring the non-woven fabric has a drooping
guide plane, and ensuring that the traction manipulator A and the
traction manipulator B successfully clamp the non-woven fabric.
[0014] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
cutting manipulator is mounted on the lead screw B, and can move
axially along the lead screw B to cut the non-woven fabric; and the
lead screw B is fixed at the top of the support.
[0015] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
cutting manipulator is provided with a linear displacement sensor,
and can be positioned and move in the vertical direction via
detection data of the displacement sensor.
[0016] According to the model of a wheel, key parameters such as
width and diameter of a hub can be automatically generated, and the
laying length of the non-woven fabric can be automatically
calculated. The double traction manipulators are adopted to
guarantee enough clamping force. The automatic non-woven fabric
lifting mechanism is adopted to automatically lift the non-woven
fabric to the laying height according to the width of the hub. The
double guide rollers are adopted to guarantee enough traction on
the non-woven fabric, and simultaneously achieve a guiding effect
on the non-woven fabric. The cutting manipulator is adopted
automatically cut the non-woven fabric. The articulated guide
plates are adopted to keep the non-woven fabric on a drooping guide
plane, achieve the effect of guiding and supporting the non-woven
fabric, and facilitating positioning and clamping of the
manipulators. The traction manipulators reciprocate at the top of
the support to realize laying and pulling the non-woven fabric.
[0017] Thus, the non-woven fabric is automatically laid in the hub
stacking process, and manual operation is replaced by machinery, so
that the labor intensity of operators is reduced; meanwhile, the
reject rate of hub collision caused by manual operation is also
greatly reduced.

that the non-woven fabric meets the requirement for the laying
length.
[0026] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 are
mounted on the lead screw A 11, and can move axially on the lead
screw A 11, thereby completing traction and clamping on non-woven
fabrics having different widths.
[0027] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 are
provided with linear displacement sensors, and can be positioned
and move in the vertical direction via detection data of the

reciprocate along the support.
[0029] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the guide
roller A 6 and the guide roller B 8 realize automatic extension of
the non-woven fabric, and achieve the effect of increasing the
traction on the non-woven fabric.
[0030] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the guide

plate D 13 support the non-woven fabric; the guide plate A 2 is
articulated with the guide plate B 7, and the guide plate C 12 is
articulated with the guide plate D 13, thereby ensuring the
non-woven fabric has a drooping guide plane, and ensuring the
traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10
successfully clamp the non-woven fabric.
[0031] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the
cutting manipulator 4 is mounted on the lead screw B 14, and can
move axially along the lead screw B 14 to cut the non-woven fabric;
and the lead screw B 14 is fixed at the top of the support 1.
[0032] In a preferred aspect of the present application, the

via detection data of the displacement sensor.
[0033] The non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 automatically
calculates the width of a hub according to the model of the hub via
wheel model parameters in an automatic control system, and
automatically implements a height lifting action; and after the
data of the linear displacement sensor is fed back to the control
system, the non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 automatically
stops at the required laying height.
[0034] Before the non-woven fabric laying device runs, the
non-woven fabric is manually pulled through the guide roller A 6,
the guide roller B 8, the guide roller C 9, and pulled to the guide
plate B 7 and the guide plate D13; then after the non-woven fabric
lifting mechanism 5 reaches the lifting height, the traction

4 moves axially along the lead screw B 14 to cut the non-woven
fabric; and after cutting, the cutting manipulator 4 returns
axially along the lead screw B 14.
[0037] After the cutting manipulator 4 returns, the traction
manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 return to initial
positions, and a layer of non-woven fabric is thus laid. Then, the
non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 adjusts the height, and the
traction manipulator A 3, the traction manipulator B 10 and the
cutting manipulator 4 also adjust the height, to prepare for laying
next layer of non-woven fabric.
