Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of tube rolling device technologies, and in particular, to a multifunctional replaceable tube rolling device.

BACKGROUND

In existing technology, traditional tube rollers are usually used to wind different types of tubes, such as water tubes, gas tubes, cables, etc. However, these traditional tube rollers have several limitations. Firstly, the traditional tube rollers are usually only suitable for tubes of specific diameters and cannot be flexibly adjusted to accommodate tubes of different diameters. Traditional guide wheel frames are mostly designed in a fixed manner. When there are connection nuts or other protrusions on the tube, the structure of the guide wheel frame cannot be disassembled, which often leads to the nut not being able to pass through the guide wheel frame smoothly, thereby limiting the scope and applicability of the tube rollers. Besides that, due to a fixed transmission ratio of the tube rollers, when winding tubes of different diameters, the transmission ratio does not match the tube diameter, which often leads to uneven winding of the tube and the inability to roll the tubes in a regular and sequential manner, thereby bringing out inconvenience to the storage and use of the tube.

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, except for mutually exclusive features and/or steps, may be combined in any way.

Any feature disclosed in this specification may be replaced by other equivalent or similarly intended alternative features, unless otherwise specified. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a multifunctional replaceable tube rolling device of the present disclosure includes a rolling tube main body 1, which is rotatably provided on a rolling tube bracket 8. The rolling tube bracket 8 has two faces, which are respectively provided on two sides of the main body 1. The two sides of the main body 1 are rotatably provided on the rolling tube bracket 8. A structure of the main body 1 is similar to that of the rolling tube device in the prior art, and will not be specifically described here.

The multifunctional replaceable tube rolling device further includes a lead-screw driving part 2, which is provided on the rolling tube bracket 8. A main purpose of the lead-screw driving part 2 is to allow a tube 4 to be wound back and forth from one side to the other side of the main body when it is wound, so that the tube 4 can be evenly wound on the main body 1.

The multifunctional replaceable tube rolling device further includes a combined guide wheel frame 3, one end of the guide wheel frame 3 is movably provided on the lead-screw driving part 2, and the other end thereof is provided on a guide rod 14, the guide rod 14 is provided on the rolling tube bracket 8. A to-be-wound tube 4 passes through the guide wheel frame 3, and the guide wheel frame 3 can move back and forth along the lead-screw driving part 2, so that the tube 4 can be driven to move back and forth along the lead-screw driving part 2 and can be evenly wound on the main body 1. The guide wheel frame 3 can be disassembled to allow a nut to pass through a guide wheel 33 that is opened. During operation, the guide wheel frame 3 can perform reciprocating motion along the lead-screw driving part 2 and the guide rod 14, thereby driving the tube 4 to achieve reciprocating winding.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the replaceable tube rolling device further includes a gear drive assembly, which is provided between the rolling tube bracket 8 and the main body 1. The gear drive assembly includes a switching gear 10, and a transmission ratio between the main body 1 and the gear drive assembly is adjusted by adjusting a meshing position of the switching gear 10, so as to meet the winding of tubes 4 having different diameters. When different tubes 4 need to be wound, different transmission ratios can be obtained by changing a transmission position of the switching gear 10, so that the to-be-wound tube 4 can always be wound evenly on the main body 1. Therefore, when the diameter of the tube 4 is changed, a winding speed of a gear fixed on the lead-screw driving part 2 needs to be adjusted so as to meet the uniform winding of the tube 4.

In this embodiment, the lead-screw driving part 2 and the main body 1 are both meshed and transmitted through the gear drive assembly. The gear drive assembly drives the guide wheel frame 3 to reciprocate along the lead-screw driving part 2 and causes the tube 4 to roll back and forth from one side to the other.

Please continue to refer to FIGS. 2 and 3, the gear drive assembly further includes a first transmission tooth 11 and a second transmission tooth 12, the first transmission tooth 11 and the second transmission tooth 12 are respectively meshed with a ring gear 13 on the main body. The switching gear 10 is meshed with the first transmission tooth 11 or the second transmission tooth 12. By adjusting the switching gear 10 to different transmission gear positions, the transmission ratio between the ring gear 9, the switching gear 10, and transmission teeth can be adjusted.

The switching gear 10 is further meshed with gears of the lead-screw driving part 2.

Where, the first transmission tooth 11 and the second transmission tooth 12 are both two-stage gears.

The first transmission tooth 11 includes a first gear surface 112 and a second gear surface 111, and the second transmission tooth 12 includes a third gear surface 121 and a fourth gear surface 122. The first gear surface 112 and the third gear surface 121 have the same number of teeth and are both meshed with the ring gear 13.

The number of teeth on the second gear surface 111 and the fourth gear surface 122 is different. The switching gear 10 is meshed with the second gear surface 111 or the fourth gear surface 122 to change the transmission ratio. When facing tubes 4 of different diameters, by changing the transmission ratio, the uneven winding caused by the different diameters of the tube 4 can be overcome when a reciprocating speed of the lead-screw driving part 2 is changed. Thus, the present disclosure can be applied to the winding of tubes 4 of different diameters, and has a wide application scope. When the switching gear 10 is rotated, the switching gear 10 will drive the lead-screw driving part 2 to rotate, and it will also be engaged with a small ring gear 13 on the first transmission tooth 11 or the second transmission tooth 12.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, one end of the switching gear 10 is provided with a driving link 73. The driving link 73 passes through an arc-shaped adjustment groove 5 on the rolling tube bracket 8 and is extended to an outside. An extending end of the driving link 73 is provided with a driving part 7. A positioning support piece 72 is provided between the driving part 7 and the rolling tube bracket 8. The driving link 73 passes through the positioning support piece 72 and is connected to the driving part 7. A spring 71 is provided in the positioning support piece 72. One end of the spring 71 is fixedly connected to the rolling tube bracket 8, and the other end thereof is fixedly connected to the positioning support piece 72. The driving part 7 is pressed tightly towards one side surface the rolling tube bracket 8 through the spring 71, and when positions of the driving link 73 and the switching gear 10 are positioned, the driving part 7 is reset by the spring 71.

In order to prevent the driving part 7 from being displaced along the arc-shaped adjustment groove 5 at will and to be able to be located within one extreme position, in this embodiment, two extreme positions of the arc-shaped adjustment groove 5 are provided with limit buckle grooves 6. The positioning support piece 72 is provided with a limit protrusion 74, and the limit protrusion 74 is fastened into the limit buckle groove 6 so as to limit the two extreme positions of the driving link 73 in the arc-shaped adjustment groove 5. The limit protrusion 74 is fastened into the limit buckle groove 6 by stretching the spring 71, so that the driving link 73 cannot slide along the arc-shaped adjustment groove 5. Only when the driving part 7 is pulled out outward, the limit protrusion 74 is only separated from the limit buckle groove 6 and is moved along the arc-shaped adjustment groove 5. When it is moved, the switching gear 10 will shift to the other side. Assuming it is initially at a position of the first transmission tooth 11, after moving to a next extreme position, the switching gear 10 will move to the second transmission tooth 12 and is meshed with the second transmission tooth 12, as shown in FIG. 7. At this time, the switching gear 10 can be switched to different meshing positions to obtain different gear transmission ratios, which can achieve the winding of other tubes 4.

Where, the lead-screw driving part 2 includes a double pitch screw, which is an existing technology. The general principle is as follows: there are two different pitch regions on the screw, and thread directions of these two regions are opposite. When the nut 41 is moved along one pitch region, it will automatically switch to another pitch region after reaching a specific position.

In this way, even if a motor always is rotated in one direction, when the nut 41 reaches an end of a stroke, it will enter a reverse pitch area and continue to move in an opposite direction, thereby achieving a reciprocating movement.

In this embodiment, two ends of the double pitch screw are provided on the rolling tube bracket 8, and a screw gear 9 is provided on the double pitch screw. The screw gear 9 is always meshed with the switching gear 10, and the switching gear 10 drives the screw gear 9 to rotate, thereby driving the double pitch screw to rotate.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the guide wheel frame 3 includes a first guide wheel frame 32 and a second guide wheel frame 35. One end of the first guide wheel frame 32 is provided with a transmission sleeve 31, the transmission sleeve 31 is provided on the lead-screw driving part 2. One end of the second guide wheel frame 35 is provided with a guide sliding sleeve 36, and the guide sliding sleeve 36 is slidably provided on the guide rod 14.

The other ends of the first guide wheel frame 32 and the second guide wheel frame 35 are opening and closing ends, the opening and closing ends are provided with docking lock sleeves 37. When the first guide wheel frame 32 and the second guide wheel frame 35 are fastened, the docking lock sleeves 37 are docked and form a locking section 34. The nuts are locked in the locking section 34 to fix the opening and closing ends of the first guide wheel frame 32 and the second guide wheel frame 35. Guide wheels 33 are provided on both the first guide wheel frame 32 and the second guide wheel frame 35, and a tube cavity is formed between two guide wheels 33. The to-be-wound tube 4 passes through the tube cavity. When it is necessary to pass through the nut 41, a screw is simply loosened, and one of the guide wheel frames 33 is opened to allow the nut 41 that could not have been passed through to pass through, which is very convenient.

The working way is as follows:

when the tube is pulled or recycled, the ring gear 13 is rotated, which drives the first and second transmission teeth to rotate. Finally, the first and second transmission teeth is rotated to drive the switching gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw gear 9 to rotate, thus enabling the screw to work. The present disclosure uses gears with different tooth ratios of the first and second transmission teeth, as well as a movable switching gear, to contact different transmission teeth during use, thereby changing a sorting speed of the screw and the tubes of different sizes can be fully stored in a casing.

The above is only specific embodiments of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be based on the protection scope of defined in the claims.
