Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal wire processing technology, specifically to an automatic straightening, rolling, and winding equipment and method for stainless steel wire. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of stainless steel wire processing, especially in the production process of rolling round steel wire into flat wire, multiple steps are usually required, such as unwinding, straightening, rolling, and coiling. Traditional processing methods often use separate equipment for each step, requiring manual transfer and connection between processes, resulting in low production efficiency and poor product quality consistency.

[0003] Before stainless steel wire is rolled, it is typically stored in a coiled state. Due to prolonged winding, a large amount of residual stress accumulates inside the wire, causing shape defects such as bending and twisting, known as "curling memory." Traditional straightening equipment usually uses multi-roller straightening, which can only repeatedly bend the wire in a single plane to achieve geometric straightness, but cannot effectively release the internal stress stored in various dimensions due to long-term winding. If these residual stresses are not effectively eliminated and the wire is directly introduced into the rolling process, it will seriously affect the quality of the rolled product, such as uneven wire thickness, stress deformation and twisting in the transverse and longitudinal directions of the wire thickness section, and surface cracks. Furthermore, the dimensional stability of the rolled wire is poor, affecting the final product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fully automatic stainless steel wire processing equipment and method that integrates wire feeding, straightening, rolling and winding, so as to solve the problems of scattered processes, incomplete stress release, unstable product quality and low degree of automation in traditional processes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An automatic straightening, rolling, and winding device for stainless steel wire includes a frame, and further includes a wire winding and unwinding mechanism, a tension guide roller mechanism I, a stress straightening mechanism, a rolling mechanism, a tension guide roller mechanism II, a wire feeding wheel mechanism, and a flat wire winding mechanism mounted on the frame. The wire winding and unwinding mechanism outputs a complete roll of stainless steel wire. The tension guide roller mechanism I adjusts the tension and guides the wire towards the stress straightening mechanism. The stress straightening mechanism circumferentially twists the incoming wire to release multi-dimensional stress. The rolling mechanism rolls the stress-straightened wire into a flat shape. The tension guide roller mechanism II adjusts the tension and guides the rolled flat wire towards the wire feeding wheel mechanism. The wire feeding wheel mechanism guides the wire during winding to ensure it is neatly and tightly wound. The flat wire winding mechanism winds the rolled flat wire.

[0006] Furthermore, the wire winding unwinding mechanism includes an active unwinding method and a passive unwinding method; the active unwinding method includes an active unwinding wheel and an unwinding motor connected to the active unwinding wheel; the passive unwinding method includes a passive unwinding wheel.

[0007] Furthermore, the stress straightening mechanism includes: a mounting plate; a straightening fixture rotatably connected to the mounting plate; a plurality of adjusting blocks disposed inside the straightening fixture and arranged along the wire conveying direction; a straightening pipe through which the stainless steel wire passes, the straightening pipe entering from one end of the straightening fixture and passing through the plurality of adjusting blocks in sequence, and exiting from the other end of the straightening fixture; and a driving device connected to one end of the straightening fixture for driving the straightening fixture to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the straightening fixture has rotating shafts at both ends, and the straightening fixture is rotatably connected to bearing seats via the rotating shafts. The bearing seats are mounted on a mounting plate. The straightening fixture has multiple mounting grooves along its length on opposite sides, and the adjusting blocks are detachably mounted in the mounting grooves. Each adjusting block has a transverse through-groove, through which the straightening pipe passes. The straightening pipe includes a front straight section, a corrugated section, and a rear straight section, all of which are integrally structured. The front and rear straight sections pass through the through-holes of the rotating shafts at both ends, and the corrugated section passes through the through-grooves of the multiple adjusting blocks. The output end of the drive device is connected to the rotating shaft at one end of the straightening fixture via a pulley assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the stress straightening mechanism also includes an oil storage container and a wiping assembly. The oil storage container is located in front of the straightening fixture and is used to lubricate the surface of the stainless steel wire before the stress straightening process. The oil storage container has an opening on its exterior for the stainless steel wire to pass through. The wiping assembly is located behind the straightening fixture and includes a box and a wiping body. The wiping body is located above the box and is used to wipe the lubricant on the surface of the output stainless steel wire. The box is used to collect the dripping lubricant, and the box has an opening on its exterior for the stainless steel wire to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the rolling mechanism includes a roll assembly, a roll traversing device, a wire inlet assembly, and a wire outlet assembly; the roll traversing device is connected to the roll assembly and is used to drive the roll assembly to move horizontally as a whole; the wire inlet assembly is located in front of the roll assembly and is used to guide the wire into the roll; the wire outlet assembly is located behind the roll assembly and is used to guide the flattened wire after rolling to be output.

[0011] Furthermore, the rolling assembly includes: an upper rolling base and an upper rolling roll rotatably connected to the upper rolling base; a lower rolling base and a lower rolling roll rotatably connected to the lower rolling base; a compression spring disposed between the upper rolling base and the lower rolling base; a gap adjustment assembly connected to the upper rolling base for adjusting the gap between the upper rolling roll and the lower rolling roll; and a rolling drive device connected to the upper rolling roll and the lower rolling roll for driving them to rotate synchronously.

[0012] Furthermore, the wire guide assembly includes a guide bracket, the upper part of which is provided with a mounting base. The mounting base has an upper pressing block and a lower pressing block that press against each other inside. The upper surface of the lower pressing block has a groove for the wire to pass through. The wire guide assembly includes a guide bracket, the upper front end of which is provided with a mounting plate. The mounting plate has a plurality of conveying wheels that are staggered vertically. The upper part of the guide bracket is also provided with a guide wheel and a measuring instrument. The measuring instrument measures the width of the rolled wire passing through the guide wheel.

[0013] Furthermore, both tension guide wheel mechanism one and tension guide wheel mechanism two include a force balance adjustment component and multiple transition guide wheels, wherein one of the transition guide wheels of tension guide wheel mechanism two is equipped with a counter for counting the wire length; the wire laying wheel mechanism includes a wire laying device and a wire laying traverse device connected to the wire laying device and driving its overall horizontal movement; the flat wire winding mechanism includes a flat wire winding wheel and a winding motor connected to the flat wire winding wheel; A winding method for an automatic winding device for straightening, calendering, and winding stainless steel wire includes the following steps: S1 wire feeding step: The entire roll of stainless steel wire is fed out through the wire winding and feeding mechanism; S2 Lubrication Step: Pass the released stainless steel wire through the oil reservoir to ensure that the surface of the wire is evenly coated with lubricant. S3 Stress Straightening Step: The stainless steel wire coated with lubricant is fed into the straightening pipe of the stress straightening mechanism. The drive device is started to drive the straightening fixture and the internal straightening pipe to rotate synchronously. Because the straightening pipe has a corrugated section, the stainless steel wire fed forward and passing through the straightening pipe is subjected to continuous and uniform repeated bending and kneading in the circumferential direction to release the multidimensional stress generated by the wire due to winding. S4 wiping step: The stress-straightened stainless steel wire is fed to the wiping assembly, and the residual lubricant on its surface is removed by the wiping body; S5 rolling process: Clean stainless steel wire is guided into the rolling mechanism through the wire guide assembly. With the cooperation of the roll traverse device, the upper and lower rolls are driven by the roll drive device to precisely roll the circular cross-section steel wire into the required flat shape. S6 Inspection Steps: The rolled flat steel wire is guided to the bottom of the measuring instrument through the steel wire guide assembly, and the width of the steel wire is measured in real time; S7 winding steps: The rolled flat steel wire passes through the tension guide wheel mechanism and the wire winding wheel mechanism in sequence, and finally passes through the flat wire winding mechanism for neat and tight winding.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this invention achieves the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention integrates a wire winding and unwinding mechanism, a tension guide wheel mechanism (I), a stress straightening mechanism, a rolling mechanism, a tension guide wheel mechanism (II), a wire feeding wheel mechanism, and a flat wire winding mechanism onto a frame, constructing a complete automated production line from raw material unwinding to finished product winding. Its general applicability is as follows: the passive micro-tension wire winding and unwinding mechanism is more suitable for unwinding fine stainless steel wires, while the active wire winding and unwinding mechanism is suitable for unwinding larger diameter stainless steel wires; the tension guide wheel mechanism (I) is used to adjust the tension of the stainless steel wire output by the active wire winding and unwinding mechanism and guide the wire to the stress straightening mechanism; when the passive micro-tension wire winding and unwinding mechanism is selected in actual use, the stainless steel wire is directly guided to the stress straightening mechanism without passing through the tension guide wheel mechanism (I), while the output wire tension of the passive micro-tension wire winding and unwinding mechanism is determined by the friction force semi-encased on the surface of the unwinding shaft. The friction belt and the tension spring fixed at one end of the friction belt determine the friction resistance generated by the relative rotation of the feed shaft and the friction belt when passively outputting stainless steel wire; the stress straightening mechanism is used to circumferentially twist the conveyed steel wire to release the multi-dimensional stress of the steel wire; the rolling mechanism is used to roll the stress-straightened steel wire into a flat shape; the tension guide wheel mechanism is used to adjust the tension and guide the rolled flat steel wire to the wire feeding wheel mechanism; the wire feeding wheel mechanism is used to guide the flat steel wire to wind it neatly and tightly during the winding process; the flat wire winding mechanism is used to wind the rolled flat steel wire.

[0015] 2. This invention achieves comprehensive release of internal stress in steel wire through a unique stress straightening mechanism design. A driving device rotates the straightening fixture and its internal straightening pipe, causing the steel wire passing through the straightening pipe to undergo continuous, uniform, and repeated bending and kneading motions throughout its 360° circumference as it moves forward. This comprehensive dynamic bending effectively releases the internal stress stored in various dimensions of the steel wire due to prolonged winding, eliminating "curling memory." Steel wire treated with this invention is less prone to twisting, cracking, and other defects during subsequent rolling processes, significantly improving the dimensional stability and material properties of the final product.

[0016] 3. This invention includes an oil storage container and a wiping assembly before and after the stress straightening mechanism. Before entering the straightening fixture, the stainless steel wire passes through the oil storage container, where lubricant is evenly applied to its surface, effectively reducing the friction coefficient between the wire and the inner wall of the straightening pipe, thus minimizing wear and heat generation. When the straightened stainless steel wire passes through the wiping body, any residual lubricant is effectively removed. The box is used to collect dripping lubricant, preventing contamination of equipment and the ground, thus achieving lubricant recycling and environmentally friendly treatment.

[0017] 4. The roll traversing device drives the entire roll assembly to move horizontally, allowing for dynamic changes in the rolling position of the steel wire on the roll surface. This improves the consistency of the rolled wire dimensions over long-term production. The gap adjustment component allows for precise adjustment of the gap between the upper and lower rolls, thereby accurately controlling the thickness and width of the rolled wire to meet the needs of different specifications. The compression spring provides stable preload, ensuring the stability of the rolling process.

[0018] 5. This invention provides two methods: active wire feeding and passive wire feeding, which solves the problem that a single wire feeding method cannot adapt to different specifications of steel wire, making the equipment more adaptable to processes and more reliable in operation.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 15As shown, this technical solution provides an automatic straightening, rolling, and winding device for stainless steel wire, including a frame 1, and a wire winding and unwinding mechanism 2, a tension guide wheel mechanism 1 3, a stress straightening mechanism 4, a rolling mechanism 5, a tension guide wheel mechanism 2 6, a wire feeding wheel mechanism 7, and a flat wire winding mechanism 8, all mounted on the frame 1. The wire winding and unwinding mechanism 2 is used to output the entire roll of stainless steel wire; the tension guide wheel mechanism 1 3 is used to adjust the tension and guide the wire to the stress straightening mechanism 4; the stress straightening mechanism 4 is used to circumferentially twist the incoming wire to release the multi-dimensional stress of the wire; the rolling mechanism 5 is used to roll the stress-straightened wire into a flat shape; the tension guide wheel mechanism 2 6 is used to adjust the tension and guide the rolled flat wire to the wire feeding wheel mechanism 7; the wire feeding wheel mechanism 7 is used to guide the wire to wind it neatly and tightly during the winding process; and the flat wire winding mechanism 8 is used to wind the rolled flat wire. This system achieves fully automated operation from wire unwinding, tension adjustment, stress straightening, rolling, to final winding. This not only significantly improves production efficiency but also ensures stable tension and smooth wire movement throughout the entire processing process through the coordinated work of various mechanisms, laying a solid foundation for obtaining high-quality flat wire products. In particular, the introduction of the stress straightening mechanism 4 torsionally twists the wire to release multi-dimensional stress solves the problem of traditional straightening methods that only focus on geometric straightness while neglecting internal stress residue, leading to deformation during subsequent rolling. This comprehensive stress release significantly improves the dimensional stability and material properties of the final product.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the wire winding unwinding mechanism 2 provides both active and passive unwinding modes. The active unwinding mode includes an active unwinding wheel 21 and an unwinding motor 22 connected to the active unwinding wheel 21; the passive unwinding mode includes a passive unwinding wheel 23. This provides flexible options to adapt to different processing requirements. For example, when processing thin-diameter or high-strength steel wires, the active unwinding mode can be selected. Through the precise control of the unwinding motor 22, stable unwinding tension is ensured, preventing the steel wire from breaking due to excessive tension or loosening due to insufficient tension. When processing conventional steel wires, the simple passive unwinding mode can be selected, reducing equipment costs and energy consumption. This makes the equipment more adaptable to various processes and more reliable in operation.

[0024] Regarding stress straightening of stainless steel wire, depending on the actual processing requirements of the products, two or more sets of stress straightening components can be set up, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this further and more effectively releases the "curling memory" and internal stress of the steel wire in all dimensions.

[0025] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, the stress straightening mechanism 4 includes: a mounting plate 41; a straightening fixture 42 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 41; multiple adjusting blocks 43 disposed inside the straightening fixture 42 and arranged along the wire conveying direction; a straightening pipe 44 through which the wire passes, the straightening pipe 44 entering from one end of the straightening fixture 42 and sequentially passing through the multiple adjusting blocks 43, and exiting from the other end of the straightening fixture 42; and a driving device 45 connected to one end of the straightening fixture 42 for driving the straightening fixture 42 to rotate. By driving the entire straightening fixture 42 to rotate through the driving device 45, the wire passing through the straightening pipe 44 is subjected to continuous and uniform bending and kneading action in its 360° circumference while moving forward, thereby effectively releasing the "curling memory" and internal stress of the wire in various dimensions, achieving true multi-dimensional stress release. The processed wire has a uniform stress distribution, making it less prone to defects such as twisting and cracking in subsequent rolling processes.

[0026] The straightening fixture 42 has rotating shafts 421 at both ends, and the straightening fixture 42 is rotatably connected to bearing seats 411 via the rotating shafts 421. The bearing seats 411 are mounted on the mounting plate 41. The straightening fixture 42 has multiple mounting grooves 422 along its length on opposite sides. Adjusting blocks 43 are detachably mounted in the mounting grooves 422 via fasteners 40. Each adjusting block 43 has a transverse through-slot 431 through which the straightening pipe 44 passes. The cooperation between the rotating shafts 421 and the bearing seats 411 ensures the stability and accuracy of the straightening fixture 42 during high-speed rotation. The detachable mounting of the adjusting blocks 43 via the mounting grooves 422 facilitates the replacement of adjusting blocks 43 with corresponding through-slots 431 according to different wire diameters, or allows for individual replacement of worn adjusting blocks, reducing maintenance costs.

[0027] The straightening pipe 44 includes a single-piece front straight pipe section 441, a corrugated section 442, and a rear straight pipe section 443. The front straight pipe section 441 and the rear straight pipe section 443 are respectively inserted into the through holes 4211 of the rotating shafts 421 at both ends. The corrugated section 442 is inserted into the through slots 431 of multiple adjusting blocks 43. The drive device 45 is a motor, and its output end is connected to the rotating shaft 111 at one end of the straightening fixture 11 via a pulley assembly 46. The integrated design of the straightening pipe 44, especially the precise constraint of the corrugated section 442 within the through slots 431 of the multiple adjusting blocks 43, ensures that the steel wire always travels along a predetermined corrugated path during high-speed rotation, guaranteeing the stability and consistency of the straightening effect. Simultaneously, the front straight pipe section 441 and the rear straight pipe section 443, inserted into the rotating shaft 421, also provide good guidance and support.

[0028] The stress straightening mechanism 4 also includes an oil storage container 47 and a wiping assembly 48. The oil storage container 47 is located in front of the straightening fixture 42 and is used to lubricate the surface of the steel wire before the stress straightening process. The oil storage container 47 has a hole 471 on its exterior for the steel wire to pass through. The wiping assembly 48 is located behind the straightening fixture 42 and includes a box 481 and a wiping body 482. The wiping body 482 is located above the box 481 and is a sponge body used to wipe the lubricant on the surface of the output steel wire. The box 481 is used to collect the dripping lubricant and has an opening 4811 on its exterior for the steel wire to pass through. Before straightening, the oil storage container 47 applies lubricant to the surface of the steel wire, significantly reducing the coefficient of friction between the steel wire and the straightening pipe 44. This not only protects the surface smoothness of the steel wire but also reduces heat generation during the straightening process, extending the service life of the straightening pipe 44. The rear-mounted wiping component 48 effectively removes residual lubricant from the surface of the steel wire through the wiping body 482, ensuring the cleanliness of the steel wire surface entering the rolling mechanism 5. Simultaneously, the box 481 collects dripping waste liquid, maintaining a clean working environment. In actual production, a pressure component is installed above the oil storage container 5 to force the input steel wire to be immersed in lubricant. Alternatively, other methods can be used to lubricate the surface of the steel wire before it enters the straightening process.

[0029] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the rolling mechanism 5 includes a roll assembly 51, a roll traversing device 52, a wire guide assembly 53, and a wire exit assembly 54. The roll traversing device 52 is connected to the roll assembly 51 and is used to drive the roll assembly 51 to move horizontally. The wire guide assembly 53 is located in front of the roll assembly 51 and is used to guide the wire into the roll. The wire exit assembly 54 is located behind the roll assembly 51 and is used to guide the flattened wire after rolling out. The roll traversing device 52 can drive the roll assembly 51 to move horizontally, so that the rolling position of the wire on the roll surface can be dynamically changed, improving the consistency of the flat wire size after rolling. The wire guide assembly 53 and the exit assembly 54 provide precise guidance for the wire, ensuring that the wire can enter and leave the rolling area smoothly and accurately, avoiding rolling defects caused by skew.

[0030] The rolling assembly 51 includes: an upper rolling base 511, an upper rolling roll 512 rotatably connected to the upper rolling base 511; a lower rolling base 513, a lower rolling roll 514 rotatably connected to the lower rolling base 513; a compression spring 515 disposed between the upper rolling base 511 and the lower rolling base 513; a gap adjusting assembly 516 connected to the upper rolling base 511 for adjusting the gap between the upper rolling roll 512 and the lower rolling roll 514; and a rolling drive device 517 connected to the upper rolling roll 512 and the lower rolling roll 514 for driving them to rotate synchronously. The compression spring 515 provides stable preload, ensuring the stability of the rolling process; the gap adjusting assembly 516 can precisely adjust the gap between the upper rolling roll 512 and the lower rolling roll 514, thereby precisely controlling the thickness of the flat wire after rolling to meet the needs of different specifications of products; the rolling drive device 517 drives the upper and lower rolling rolls to rotate synchronously.

[0031] The roll traverse device 52 is a conventional traverse mechanism and belongs to existing technology. Its structural features and working principle also utilize existing technology; therefore, it will not be described in detail here. Figures 12 to 13 As shown, the wire guide assembly 53 includes a guide bracket 531, with a mounting base 532 on the upper part of the guide bracket. Inside the mounting base 532 are a pressing upper block 533 and a pressing lower block 534. The upper surface of the pressing lower block 534 has a groove 5341 for the wire to pass through. The top of the mounting base 532 has a locking plate 535 for locking the upper and lower blocks 533 and 534. The wire guide assembly 54 includes a guide bracket 541, with a mounting plate 542 at the upper front end. The mounting plate 542 has multiple conveying wheels 543, which are staggered vertically on the mounting plate 542. The upper and lower conveying wheels 543 form a structure for outputting the flattened wire after rolling. The upper part of the guide bracket 541 also has a guide wheel 544 and a measuring instrument 545, which measures the width of the rolled wire passing through the guide wheel 544.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, both tension guide wheel mechanism 1 (3) and tension guide wheel mechanism 2 (6) include a tension balance adjustment component and multiple transition guide wheels. One of the transition guide wheels in tension guide wheel mechanism 2 (6) is equipped with a counter for counting the length of the steel wire. Through the tension balance adjustment component and multiple transition guide wheels, the tension guide wheel mechanism ensures that the tension of the steel wire is constant throughout the entire processing feeding and winding path, which is crucial for ensuring product quality. The counter enables real-time counting of the length of the processed steel wire, which is convenient for production management and cost accounting.

[0033] like Figures 14 to 15As shown, the wire feeding wheel mechanism 7 includes a wire feeding device 71 and a wire feeding traversing device 72 connected to and driving the wire feeding device 71 to move horizontally as a whole; the flat wire winding mechanism 8 includes a flat wire winding wheel 81 and a winding motor 82 connected to the flat wire winding wheel 81. The wire feeding traversing device 72 drives the wire feeding device 71 to rotate precisely in coordination with the flat wire winding wheel 81, ensuring that the flat wire can be neatly and tightly wound around the winding wheel one turn after another, forming a finished roll with a neat appearance and consistent tightness, avoiding flat wire breakage or subsequent unwinding difficulties caused by messy winding.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 15 As shown, and in combination Figure 16 As shown. Figure 16 The red line represents the initial path of the stainless steel wire actively unwinding, the blue line represents the initial path of the stainless steel wire passively unwinding, and the green line represents the subsequent path of the stainless steel wire entering each process. This embodiment provides a winding method for an automatic winding equipment for straightening and calendering stainless steel wire, including the following steps: S1 Wire Feeding Step: Select either active or passive wire feeding method according to product requirements. The steel wire is led out through the steel wire winding and feeding mechanism 2, and after the tension is adjusted by the tension guide wheel mechanism, it is conveyed to the subsequent process; S2 Lubrication Step: The released steel wire is first passed through the oil storage container 47 to make its surface evenly coated with lubricant, in preparation for the straightening process to be carried out; the inside of the oil storage container 47 is equipped with a sponge, so that the sponge can absorb grease and press the sponge against the upper surface of the steel wire.

[0035] S3 Stress Straightening Step: A steel wire coated with lubricant is fed into the straightening pipe 44 of the stress straightening mechanism 4. The drive device 45 is activated, driving the straightening fixture 42 and the internal straightening pipe 44 to rotate synchronously via the pulley assembly 46. Because the straightening pipe 44 has a corrugated section 442, the steel wire fed forward and passing through the straightening pipe 44 undergoes continuous and uniform repeated bending and kneading in the circumferential direction, releasing the multidimensional stress generated by the winding of the steel wire. It is particularly important to emphasize that the straightening described in this invention aims to eliminate internal stress rather than pursue absolute geometric straightness. The processed steel wire may still retain a certain degree of natural curvature, but this state is precisely more beneficial for subsequent rolling processes. S4 wiping step: The steel wire that has been stress straightened is fed to the wiping assembly 48, and the residual lubricant on its surface is removed by the wiping body 482; S5 rolling step: The clean steel wire is guided into the rolling mechanism 5 through the steel wire guide assembly 53. Under the drive of the roll traverse device 52, the roll device 51 is moved to the optimal rolling position. The upper and lower rolls 512 and 514 are driven by the roll drive device 517 to precisely roll the circular cross-section steel wire into a flat shape with the required thickness and width. S6 Inspection Step: The rolled flat steel wire is guided to the measuring instrument 545 through the steel wire guide assembly 54, and the width of the steel wire is measured in real time. S7 winding step: After inspection, the flat wire enters the tension guide wheel mechanism 6, the counter 61 records the length, and then the flat wire enters the wire winding wheel mechanism 7. Driven by the wire winding lateral movement device 72, and in conjunction with the rotation of the flat wire winding mechanism 8, the flat wire is neatly and tightly wound onto the flat wire winding wheel 81 to complete the final winding. This invention constructs a logically rigorous and interconnected closed-loop process through the sequential steps of wire feeding, lubrication, stress straightening, wiping, calendering, inspection, and winding. In particular, the lubrication step S2 and the wiping step S4 are located before and after the stress straightening step S3, respectively, perfectly complementing the rotary straightening process and protecting the steel wire while ensuring cleanliness. The inspection step S6 after the calendering step S5 enables real-time online monitoring of product quality. The entire process ensures that every step from raw materials to finished product is under control, resulting in flat wire products with excellent internal stress state, precise geometric dimensions, smooth surface quality, and neat winding shape, comprehensively improving the product quality level and the automation and intelligence level of the production process.
