Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of winding textile yarns, and more specifically to a winding machine with an automatic yarn ball feeding function and its winding and feeding methods. Background Technology

[0002] my country is the world's largest producer and exporter of textiles and apparel, and the textile industry is also a labor-intensive industry in my country. However, with the rapid development of my country's economy and technology in recent years, most textile enterprises in my country have gradually increased their attention to automation, which has led to a rapid increase in the demand for various high-end intelligent equipment, including automated winding equipment.

[0003] In traditional textile production, large spools of raw yarn are first wound in stages to rewind into smaller, pre-quantitative yarn balls, making them easier to use in subsequent processing steps. Therefore, automated equipment for rewinding spools into pre-quantitative yarn balls is gradually appearing on the market. For example, Chinese patent ZL202023279688.1 discloses: "A winding mechanism for a winding machine, comprising a first motor, a winding shaft, a rotating shaft, a sliding sleeve, and a guide ring; the winding shaft and the rotating shaft are vertically fixed on a support plate; the winding shaft and the rotating shaft are arranged horizontally side-by-side; the first motor is connected to the winding shaft..." A motor is also provided at the end of the rotating shaft near the support plate; a first bearing plate and a second bearing plate are respectively provided between the winding shaft and the support plate; the first motor is located on the left side of the support plate, and the winding shaft extends from the left side to the right side of the support plate; a bracket is provided below the end of the winding shaft away from the first motor to support the winding shaft; a sliding rod is provided on the bracket and below the winding shaft; a sliding sleeve is fitted on the sliding rod; a wire ring is fixed on the sliding sleeve by a connector; a turntable is provided at the end of the rotating shaft not near the support plate; the winding mechanism of this winding machine has the advantages of good winding effect, high working efficiency, and is not easy to get tangled together.

[0004] However, existing automatic winding equipment, including the solutions described in the aforementioned patent, all have a drawback: although existing automatic winding equipment can automatically complete the quantitative winding to form a ball, the unloading of the ball after winding still requires manual work. Therefore, existing automatic winding equipment cannot actually achieve full automation, which not only increases labor costs in the production process but also leads to a reduction in overall processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing automatic winding equipment that cannot automatically unload the yarn balls, this invention provides a winding machine with automatic yarn ball unloading function and its winding and unloading method.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a winding machine with automatic ball feeding function, including a worktable, a tray device located on the worktable and a winding device, the tray device including a wire frame and a number of wire support trays for mounting wire spools, and the winding device being connected to a drive motor located below the worktable via a drive shaft.

[0007] It also includes an automatic feeding device mounted on the workbench and a triggering device for activating the automatic feeding device;

[0008] The automatic feeding device includes a wire pushing mechanism, a wire cutting mechanism, and a wire gathering mechanism;

[0009] The triggering device includes a detection mechanism;

[0010] A clutch device is also provided between the automatic feeding device and the triggering device. The clutch device includes a fixed clutch fixed to the worktable and a movable clutch movably disposed relative to the fixed clutch. The fixed clutch is in transmission cooperation with the triggering device, while the movable clutch is in transmission cooperation with the drive shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the clutch device also includes an engagement fork and a disengagement fork that form a transmission engagement with the moving clutch; the engagement fork can act on the moving clutch to bring it closer to the fixed clutch, thereby engaging the two; while the disengagement fork can act on the moving clutch to move it away from the fixed clutch, thereby disengaging the two.

[0012] The driving method of the moving clutch is further described in that both the engagement fork and the disengagement fork are rotatably connected to the worktable, and both of them act on the moving clutch by rotating; the triggering device also includes a limiting plate that is connected to the detection mechanism in a transmission manner, and the limiting plate can act on the engagement fork to prevent it from rotating, thereby preventing the engagement fork from acting on the moving clutch.

[0013] Further, the driving method of the moving clutch is further improved by providing a engagement spring and a release spring on the worktable. The engagement spring is connected between the worktable and the engagement fork, and acts on the engagement fork to give it a tendency to push the moving clutch closer to the fixed clutch. The release spring is connected between the worktable and the release fork, and acts on the release fork to give it a tendency to push the moving clutch away from the fixed clutch.

[0014] The engagement fork and disengagement fork further act on the moving clutch by the following method: an engagement actuation post protrudes from one side of the engagement fork toward the moving clutch, and an engagement sleeve is fitted on the engagement actuation post. The engagement sleeve abuts against the rear end of the moving clutch. A locking post protrudes from the top of the engagement fork toward the moving clutch, and a locking rib protrudes from the lower side of the locking post. A locking groove is also provided on the circumference of the corresponding stationary clutch. When the stationary clutch and the moving clutch are engaged, the locking rib is inserted into the locking groove.

[0015] On one side of the release fork, a release actuation post protrudes towards the moving clutch. A release sleeve is fitted onto the release actuation post. A corresponding abutment ring groove is also formed on the moving clutch. The release sleeve is inserted into the abutment ring groove. At the bottom of the release fork, an anti-rotation post protrudes towards the lower part of the fixed clutch. An anti-rotation rib protrudes from the upper side of the anti-rotation post. Correspondingly, an anti-rotation groove is formed on the periphery of the fixed clutch. When the fixed clutch and the moving clutch are separated, the anti-rotation rib is inserted into the anti-rotation groove.

[0016] The detection mechanism is further structured by including a detection plate, which is disposed below the winding device, and the detection plate forms a transmission engagement with the limiting plate through a trigger rod.

[0017] The automatic feeding device further includes an input shaft that is driven by a drive shaft, and a moving clutch that is driven by the drive shaft. An output wheel is fixedly connected to the fixed clutch. The automatic feeding device also includes a first output rod and a second output rod. The first output rod and the second output rod are both driven by the fixed clutch through the output wheel. The wire cutting mechanism and the wire gathering mechanism are both driven by the first output rod, and the wire pushing mechanism is connected to the second output rod.

[0018] Further, the automatic feeding device includes a wire pushing mechanism with a wire pushing rod on the second output rod; a wire gathering mechanism with a wire gathering plate on the first output rod; and a wire cutting mechanism with a wire cutting knife connected to the workbench and a pusher rod on the first output rod.

[0019] The transmission method between the winding device and the drive shaft is further described, wherein a drive gear is sleeved on the drive shaft, and a driven gear is sleeved on the driven shaft. The drive shaft and the driven shaft are connected by the meshing of the drive gear and the driven gear to form a transmission fit. The driven gear is slidably arranged along the axial direction of the driven shaft. The automatic feeding device also includes a clutch push rod, which is also connected to the fixed clutch through an output wheel. This allows the clutch push rod to push the driven gear away from or closer to the drive gear under the drive of the output wheel, thereby causing the driven gear to separate or mesh with the drive gear.

[0020] The winding device is further described as follows: the winding device includes a driven shaft that is drivenly connected to the drive shaft, and a winding spindle rod disposed on the driven shaft. One end of the drive shaft is also drivenly connected to a cycloidal device, which includes a cycloidal needle located above the winding spindle rod and capable of reciprocating relative to the winding spindle rod.

[0021] This invention also provides an automatic winding and unloading method, applicable to the winding machine with automatic ball unloading function as described above, comprising:

[0022] Step 1: Install the spool onto the wire support plate, pull out the end of the thread on the spool and pass it around the wire guide frame, then pass the thread through the cycloidal needle and wind it onto the winding spindle.

[0023] Step 2: The drive motor starts and drives the drive shaft to rotate. After transmission through the drive gear and driven gear, the driven shaft drives the winding spindle to rotate, so that the wire is automatically wound onto the winding spindle.

[0024] Step 3: The drive shaft rotates, causing the cycloidal device to swing back and forth. The cycloidal needle moves back and forth on the winding spindle, thereby guiding the silk thread to move back and forth on the winding spindle and wind it into a cocoon-shaped ball.

[0025] Step 4: The ball of yarn wound on the winding spindle gradually increases in size. As the ball of yarn increases in size, it presses the detection plate to rotate downward, thereby driving the trigger rod to rotate, causing the limit plate connected to the trigger rod to lift up and release the limit on the biting fork.

[0026] Step 5: Under the action of the engagement spring, the engagement fork pushes the moving clutch and the fixed clutch to engage, and the drive shaft drives the input shaft to rotate. After being transmitted through the moving clutch to the fixed clutch, the output wheel on the fixed clutch rotates accordingly.

[0027] Step Six: Driven by the output wheel, the clutch push rod pushes the driven gear to separate from the drive gear, cutting off the transmission between the drive shaft and the driven shaft, causing the winding spindle to stop rotating;

[0028] Step 7: The rotation of the output wheel also drives the second output rod to push out, causing the push rod to push the ball of yarn formed on the winding spindle forward. At the same time, the first output rod also rotates under the drive of the output wheel, causing the coiling plate to rotate toward the winding spindle, clamping and limiting the yarn above the winding spindle. The push rod also rotates and pushes the shearing knife to close, cutting the ball of yarn and the remaining yarn, so that the ball of yarn can be removed from the winding spindle to complete the unloading.

[0029] Step 8: After the detection plate loses the pressure from the ball, it rotates back to its original position. The limit plate then sinks down, pushing the engagement fork to overcome the action of the engagement spring and return the engagement fork to its original position. At this time, the release fork can push the moving clutch and the fixed clutch to separate under the action of the release spring.

[0030] Step 9: After the separator stops rotating, the clutch push rod, the first output rod and the second output rod lose their function as output wheels and return to their original positions. The drive gear and the driven gear re-mesh, thereby driving the winding spindle to start rotating again. Since the winding plate limits the wire to above the winding spindle, the wire can continue to wind onto the winding spindle to form a ball, and the next cycle begins.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. An automatic feeding device is set up to feed the wound yarn ball. The automatic feeding device is automatically activated when the yarn ball is wound, which makes the winding machine fully automated, saving manpower and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0033] 2. By setting the clutch push rod, when the automatic feeding device starts to automatically feed, the transmission between the drive shaft and the winding device is cut off, thereby ensuring that the automatic feeding device will not conflict with the winding device during operation.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an automatic feeding device 6 is also provided on one side of the winding device 3 on the workbench 1. The automatic feeding device 6 is composed of a wire pushing mechanism 6.1, a wire cutting mechanism 6.2, and a wire gathering mechanism 6.3. A triggering device 7 is also provided below the automatic feeding device 6. A clutch device 8 is also provided behind the winding device 3 between the automatic feeding device 6 and the triggering device 7.

A biting fork 9 and a disengaging fork 10 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the clutch device 8. Finally, a cycloidal device 11 is provided in front of the winding device 3. The cycloidal device 11 is also connected to the drive shaft 5. A cycloidal needle 11.1 extends from each side of the cycloidal device 11 toward the two winding devices 3.

[0051] Reference Figure 4The winding device 3 consists of a driven shaft 3.1 and a winding spindle 3.2 connected to the front end of the driven shaft 3.1. A driven gear 3.1.1 is slidably sleeved on the driven shaft 3.1. The driven gear 3.1.1 meshes with the drive gear 5.1 fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 5. A meshing spring 3.1.2 is sleeved on the driven shaft 3.1. The meshing spring 3.1.2 pushes the driven gear 3.1.1 toward the drive gear 5.1, so that the driven gear 3.1.1 and the drive gear 5.1 are kept in a meshing state.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 The clutch device 8 consists of a fixed clutch 8.1 and a moving clutch 8.2. The moving clutch 8.2 is sleeved on an input shaft 12. A spline 12.1 is provided between the input shaft 12 and the moving clutch 8.2. The moving clutch 8.2 rotates with the input shaft 12 by means of the spline 12.2.

The remaining fixed clutch 8.1 is also sleeved on the input shaft 12, but there is no transmission cooperation between the fixed clutch 8.1 and the input shaft 12. Therefore, the moving clutch 8.2 needs to engage with the fixed clutch 8.1 to drive the fixed clutch 8.1 to rotate. An output wheel 13 is also sleeved on the fixed clutch 8.1.

[0053] Reference Figure 6A biting fork 9 has a biting actuation post 9.1 protruding from one side, fitted with a biting sleeve 9.2, and a biting spring 9.3 connected to the other side. The biting fork 9 rotates towards the moving clutch 8.2 under the pull of the biting spring 9.3, causing the biting sleeve 9.2 to abut against the rear end of the moving clutch 8.2, pushing it closer to the stationary clutch 8.1. A locking post 9.4 protrudes from the top of the biting fork 9, extending above the stationary clutch 8.1 and protruding downwards with a locking rib 9.4.1. A corresponding locking groove 8.1.1 is also provided on the stationary clutch 8.1. A release fork 10 has a release actuation post 9.1 protruding from one side, fitted with a release sleeve 10.2. The moving column 10.1 and the moving clutch 8.2 are provided with an abutment ring groove 8.2.1 that forms an insertion fit with the release sleeve 10.2. A release spring 10.3 is connected to the other side of the release fork 10. Under the pull of the release spring 10.3, the release fork 10 rotates toward the moving clutch 8.2 and causes the engagement sleeve 9.2 to abut against the side wall of the abutment ring groove 8.2.1, pushing the moving clutch 8.2 away from the stationary clutch 8.1. An anti-rotation column 10.4 is also provided at the bottom of the release fork 10. The anti-rotation column 10.4 extends to the bottom of the stationary clutch 8.1 and has an anti-rotation rib 10.4.1 protruding upward. A corresponding anti-rotation groove 8.1.2 is also provided on the stationary clutch 8.1.

[0054] Reference Figure 7 The triggering device 7 consists of a detection mechanism 7.1 and a limiting plate 7.2. The detection mechanism 7.1 includes a trigger rod 7.1.1 and a detection plate 7.1.2 fixedly sleeved on one end of the trigger rod 7.1.1. An adjusting plate 7.1.3 is also fixedly sleeved on the other end of the trigger rod 7.1.1. The limiting plate 7.2 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 7.1.3. An adjusting nut 7.1.4 that can adjust the height of the limiting plate 7.2 is also provided between the limiting plate 7.2 and the adjusting plate 7.1.3. The limiting plate 7.2 is located above the engagement fork 9 and blocks the path of the engagement fork 9 toward the moving clutch 8.2.

[0055] Reference Figure 8 The output wheel 13 has a toggle protrusion 13.1 protruding on the periphery of one end. The output wheel 13 has a first swing arm 14 with its lower end rotatably connected to the worktable 1. The middle of the first swing arm 14 is connected to a first swing wheel 14.1 that abuts against the periphery of the output wheel 13. The upper end of the first swing arm 14 is connected to the second output rod 15 located on its upper side. The above-mentioned wire pushing mechanism 6.1 is a wire pushing rod 6.1.1 fixed on the end of the second output rod 15.

[0056] Reference Figure 9A toggle block 13.2 is fixedly connected to the circumference of the middle of the output shaft, and a second swing arm 16 is provided on the front side of the middle of the output wheel 13. One end of the second swing arm 16 is connected to a second swing wheel 16.1 that abuts against the middle circumference of the output wheel 13, and the other end of the second swing arm 16 is rotatably connected to a clutch push rod 17. The clutch push rod 17 is connected to the driven gear 3.1.1 mentioned above and can drive the driven gear 3.1.1 to overcome the action of the meshing spring 3.1.2.

[0057] Reference Figure 10 Two actuation notches 13.3 are formed on the end face of the other end of the output wheel 13. A third swing arm 18 is also provided on one side of the output wheel 13. One end of the third swing arm 18 is connected to a third swing wheel 18.1 that abuts against the end face of the output wheel 13. The other end of the third swing arm 18 is fixedly connected to a first output rod 19. The above-mentioned wire gathering mechanism 6.3 is a wire gathering plate 6.3.1 fixedly connected to the first output rod 19. The above-mentioned wire cutting mechanism 6.2 also includes a pusher rod 6.2.1 fixedly connected to the first output rod 19.

[0058] Reference Figure 11 The aforementioned wire cutting mechanism 6.2 further includes a material dropping seat 6.2.2 fixedly connected to the workbench 1. A material dropping channel is opened through the top of the material dropping seat 6.2.2, and two wire cutting blades 6.2.3 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the material dropping seat 6.2.2. One of the wire cutting blades 6.2.3 is connected to a closing torsion spring 6.2.4 that drives it to close towards the other wire cutting blade 6.2.3. A splitting bar 6.2.5 is also protruding on the wire cutting blade 6.2.3. The aforementioned push bar 6.2.1 abuts against the splitting bar 6.2.5, thereby driving the wire cutting blade 6.2.3 to overcome the action of the closing torsion spring 6.2.4.

[0059] In summary, the specific winding and cutting methods in this embodiment are as follows:

[0060] Step 1: Manually install the spool onto the wire support plate 2.2, pull out the end of the thread on the spool, pass it around the wire guide 2.1, and then pass the thread through the cycloidal needle 11.1 and wind it onto the winding spindle 3.2;

[0061] Step 2: The drive motor 4 starts and drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate. After being transmitted by the drive gear 5.1 and the driven gear 3.1.1, the driven shaft 3.1 drives the winding spindle 3.2 to rotate, so that the wire is automatically wound onto the winding spindle 3.2.

[0062] Step 3: The drive shaft 5 rotates, causing the cycloidal device 11 to swing back and forth. The cycloidal needle 11.1 moves back and forth on the winding spindle 3.2, thereby guiding the silk thread to move back and forth on the winding spindle 3.2 and winding it into a cocoon-shaped ball.

[0063] Step 4: The ball of yarn wound on the winding spindle 3.2 gradually increases in size. As the ball of yarn increases in size, it presses the detection plate 7.1.2 to rotate downwards, thereby driving the trigger rod 7.1.1 to rotate. This causes the limiting plate 7.2 connected to the trigger rod 7.1.1 to lift up and release the limiting fork 9. In this step, the height of the limiting plate 7.2 relative to the limiting fork 9 can be changed by adjusting the adjusting nut 7.1.4 in advance. This allows for setting the volume required for the ball of yarn to trigger the limiting plate 7.2 to release the limiting fork 9, thus achieving quantitative control of the wound ball of yarn.

[0064] Step 5: Under the action of the engagement spring 9.3, the engagement fork 9 pushes the moving clutch 8.2 and the stationary clutch 8.1 to engage. The drive shaft 5 drives the input shaft 12 to rotate, which is transmitted to the stationary clutch 8.1 via the moving clutch 8.2, causing the output wheel 13 on the stationary clutch 8.1 to rotate accordingly. In this step, when the moving clutch 8.2 and the stationary clutch 8.1 are engaged, the limiting rib on the engagement fork 9 also rotates with the engagement fork 9 and engages in the limiting groove on the stationary clutch 8.1, thereby preventing the moving clutch 8.2 and the stationary clutch 8.1 from separating during transmission.

[0065] Step 6: Driven by the output wheel 13, the clutch push rod 17 pushes the driven gear 3.1.1 to separate from the drive gear 5.1, and the transmission between the drive shaft 5 and the driven shaft 3.1 is cut off, causing the winding spindle 3.2 to stop rotating;

[0066] Step 7: The rotation of the output wheel 13 also drives the second output rod 15 to push out, causing the push rod 6.1.1 to push the ball of wire formed on the winding spindle 3.2 forward. At the same time, the first output rod 19 also rotates under the drive of the output wheel 13, causing the coiling plate 6.3.1 to rotate toward the winding spindle 3.2, clamping and limiting the wire above the winding spindle 3.2. The push rod 6.2.1 also rotates to release the obstruction of the closing rod. The two wire cutting blades 6.2.3, driven by the closing torsion spring 6.2.4, cut the ball of wire and the remaining wire, allowing the ball of wire to detach from the winding spindle 3.2 and complete the feeding along the feeding channel on the feeding seat 6.2.2.

[0067] Step 8: After the detection plate 7.1.2 loses the pressure from the ball, it rotates back to its original position. The limit plate 7.2 then sinks down, pushing the engagement fork 9 to overcome the action of the engagement spring 9.3 and returning the engagement fork 9 to its original position. At this time, the release fork 10 can push the moving clutch 8.2 to separate from the fixed clutch 8.1 under the action of the release spring 10.3. In this step, when the moving clutch 8.2 and the fixed clutch 8.1 are separated, the anti-rotation rib 10.4.1 on the release fork 10 also engages with the anti-rotation groove 8.1.2 on the fixed clutch 8.1 as the release fork 10 rotates, thereby preventing the fixed clutch 8.1 from rotating.

[0068] Step Nine: After the separator stops rotating, the clutch push rod 17, the first output rod 19, and the second output rod 15 all lose the function of the output wheel 13 and return to their original positions. Under the push of the meshing spring 3.1.2, the drive gear 5.1 and the driven gear 3.1.1 re-mesh, thereby driving the winding spindle 3.2 to start rotating again. Since the winding plate 6.3.1 limits the wire to above the winding spindle 3.2, the wire can continue to wind onto the winding spindle 3.2 to form a ball, and start the next cycle.

[0069] The advantage of this embodiment is that the winding machine can automatically unload the wire ball after the wire ball is wound, and complete the cycle of winding and unloading steps, so that the winding machine can truly realize automation, thereby saving production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0070] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

7. A winding machine with automatic ball feeding function according to claim 1, characterized in that: The winding device (3) includes a driven shaft (3.1) that is drivenly connected to the drive shaft (5), and a winding spindle (3.2) disposed on the driven shaft (3.1). One end of the drive shaft (5) is also drivenly connected to a cycloidal device (11). The cycloidal device (11) includes a cycloidal needle (11.1) located above the winding spindle (3.2) and capable of reciprocating relative to the winding spindle (3.2). A drive gear (5.1) is sleeved on the drive shaft (5), and a driven gear (3.1.1) is sleeved on the driven shaft (3.1). The drive shaft (5) and the driven shaft (3.1) are connected by the drive gear (5.1). 1) The meshing of the driven gear (3.1.1) forms a transmission engagement, and the driven gear (3.1.1) is slidably arranged along the axial direction of the driven shaft (3.1). The automatic feeding device (6) also includes a clutch push rod (17), which is also connected to the fixed clutch (8.1) through the output wheel (13). This allows the clutch push rod (17) to push the driven gear (3.1.1) away from or close to the drive gear (5.1) under the drive of the output wheel (13), thereby causing the driven gear (3.1.1) to separate or mesh with the drive gear (5.1).

8. An automatic winding and unloading method, applicable to the winding machine with automatic ball unloading function as described in any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that, include: Step 1: Install the spool onto the wire support plate (2.2), pull out the end of the wire on the spool and pass it around the wire guide (2.1), then pass the wire through the cycloidal needle (11.1) and wind it onto the winding spindle (3.2); Step 2: The drive motor (4) starts and drives the drive shaft (5) to rotate. After the drive gear (5.1) and driven gear (3.1.1) are transmitted, the driven shaft (3.1) drives the winding spindle (3.2) to rotate, so that the wire is automatically wound onto the winding spindle (3.2). Step 3: The drive shaft (5) rotates and drives the cycloidal device (11) to swing back and forth. The cycloidal needle (11.1) moves back and forth on the winding spindle (3.2), thereby guiding the silk thread to move back and forth on the winding spindle (3.2) and winding it, so that the silk thread is wound into a cocoon-shaped ball on the winding spindle (3.2). Step 4: The ball of yarn wound on the winding spindle (3.2) gradually increases in size. As the ball of yarn increases in size, it presses the detection plate (7.1.2) to rotate downward, thereby driving the trigger rod (7.1.1) to rotate, causing the limiting plate (7.2) connected to the trigger rod (7.1.1) to lift up and release the limiting of the biting fork (9); Step 5: Under the action of the engagement spring (9.3), the engagement fork (9) pushes the moving clutch (8.2) and the fixed clutch (8.1) to engage. The drive shaft (5) drives the input shaft (12) to rotate. After being transmitted through the moving clutch (8.2) to the fixed clutch (8.1), the output wheel (13) on the fixed clutch (8.1) rotates accordingly. Step 6: The clutch push rod (17) is driven by the output wheel (13) to push the driven gear (3.1.1) to separate from the drive gear (5.1), and the transmission between the drive shaft (5) and the driven shaft (3.1) is cut off, so that the winding spindle (3.2) stops rotating; Step 7: The rotation of the output wheel (13) also drives the second output rod (15) to push out, so that the push rod (6.1.1) pushes the ball of wire formed on the winding spindle (3.2) forward. At the same time, the first output rod (19) also rotates under the drive of the output wheel (13), so that the winding plate (6.3.1) rotates toward the winding spindle (3.2), clamps the wire above the winding spindle (3.2) and limits it to the upper part of the winding spindle (3.2), and the push rod (6.2.1) also rotates and drives the wire cutter (6.2.3) to close, cutting the ball of wire and the remaining wire, so that the ball of wire can be removed from the winding spindle (3.2) to complete the unloading. Step 8: After the detection plate (7.1.2) loses the pressure from the ball, it rotates back to its original position. The limit plate (7.2) then sinks down and pushes the engagement fork (9) to overcome the action of the engagement spring (9.3) and restore the engagement fork (9) to its original position. At this time, the release fork (10) can push the moving clutch (8.2) and the fixed clutch (8.1) to separate under the action of the release spring (10.3). Step 9: After the separator stops rotating, the clutch push rod (17), the first output rod (19), and the second output rod (15) all lose the function of the output wheel (13) and return to their original positions. The drive gear (5.1) and the driven gear (3.1.1) re-mesh, thereby driving the winding spindle (3.2) to start rotating again. Since the winding plate (6.3.1) limits the wire to above the winding spindle (3.2), the wire can continue to wind onto the winding spindle (3.2) to form a ball and start the next cycle.
