Description

Automatic Rebar Processing Machine The present invention relates to an automatic rebar processing device, and more specifically, to an automatic rebar processing device comprising a rebar classification unit that classifies rebars by type. Generally, reinforcing bars are construction materials made by shaping steel into rods to primarily support tensile forces, and they are one of the mechanical structures treated with great importance in fields such as civil engineering and architectural engineering. These reinforcing bars are primarily formed from carbon steel and are combined with concrete, which is subjected to compressive forces, to form reinforced concrete structures. Furthermore, reinforcing bars are classified into deformed reinforcing bars, which are formed from steel rods with protrusions such as ribs and nodes on their surfaces, and round reinforcing bars, which are formed from steel rods with a smooth, circular cross-section without protrusions. In order to use rebar in various industrial sites, it is necessary to cut rebar produced to the same specifications into specific lengths according to the required length. In order to supply rebar to a cutting machine, two workers had to manually unfold the rebar and then supply it one by one to the cutting machine. This resulted in excessive time consumption for the cutting process, making it impossible to effectively provide rebar of the required length. Furthermore, there was a problem in that labor costs increased due to the increased number of required personnel. Furthermore, as steel grades, lengths, and diameters of reinforcing bars are not standardized and various types are utilized depending on the design, it is often difficult to use automated reinforcing bar processing equipment. Consequently, there is a growing need for equipment that classifies reinforcing bars according to classification criteria such as diameter.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a reinforcing bar according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a plan view of an automatic rebar processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a reinforcing bar supply unit and a reinforcing bar classification unit according to one embodiment of the present invention. To fully understand the structure and effects of the present disclosure, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but can be implemented in various forms and various modifications can be made. The description of the embodiments is provided merely to ensure that the present disclosure is complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention. In the accompanying drawings, the components are depicted enlarged from their actual size for convenience of explanation, and the proportions of each component may be exaggerated or reduced. When a component is described as being "on" or "in contact" with another component, it should be understood that while it may be directly touching or connected to the other component, there may also be another component in between. On the other hand, when a component is described as being "immediately on" or "in contact" with another component, it should be understood that there is no other component in between. Other expressions describing the relationship between components, such as "between" and "directly between," can be interpreted in the same way. Terms such as "first," "second," etc., may be used to describe various components, but said components shall not be limited by said terms. Such terms may be used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component. A singular expression includes a plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Terms such as "comprising" or "having" are intended to indicate the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and may be interpreted as implying that one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof may be added. Unless otherwise defined, the terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be interpreted in the sense commonly known to those skilled in the art. Hereinafter, an automatic rebar processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
