[0002] The ends of steel wires are typically secured with various types of aluminum sleeves to facilitate installation and application in diverse situations. One type of aluminum sleeve that facilitates wire installation and positioning is... Figure 1 As shown, during production, the aluminum sleeve needs to be manually threaded onto one end of the steel wire, placed in a mold, and the side wall of the aluminum sleeve is manually stamped to rivet it to the steel wire. After stamping one end, another aluminum sleeve is threaded onto the other end of the steel wire and placed in the mold to complete the stamping. This production process is cumbersome and inefficient due to manual operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding and riveting device for aluminum sheaths of steel wire, including a frame and a feeding mechanism, a distributing mechanism and a riveting mechanism mounted on the frame.

[0004] The feeding mechanism is used to transport the aluminum sleeve to the dispensing mechanism; the feeding mechanism is provided with a discharge port.

[0005] The material dispensing mechanism includes a fixed seat and a movable seat; the fixed seat is fixed on the frame; the movable seat is movably mounted on the frame relative to the fixed seat to switch between a receiving position and a dispensing position.

[0006] The fixed seat is provided with a guide hole, the rear end of which is connected to the discharge port; the movable seat is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating an aluminum sleeve; when the movable seat is in the receiving position, the rear end of its receiving groove is connected to the front end of the guide hole; when the movable seat is in the distributing position, its receiving groove is away from the guide hole, and the movable seat covers the front end of the guide hole.

[0007] The riveting mechanism includes two parts, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the movable seat and move up and down synchronously with the movable seat; the riveting mechanism includes a punch for riveting the side wall of the aluminum sleeve; the left and right sides of the movable seat are respectively provided with through holes that penetrate into the receiving groove; the punch is inserted into the through hole on the same side, and the punch can move left and right to enter and exit the receiving groove.

[0008] When using this technical solution, the initial position of the movable seat is the receiving position. The aluminum sleeve has a socket for inserting steel wire. When the feeding mechanism conveys the aluminum sleeve, the socket faces the output direction. After the aluminum sleeve is output from the discharge port, it falls into the receiving groove through the guide hole. After the aluminum sleeve reaches the receiving groove, the movable seat rises to the distributing position. Then, the end of the steel wire can be inserted into the aluminum sleeve, and the riveting mechanism is activated to make the punch penetrate into the receiving groove to punch both sides of the aluminum sleeve, riveting the aluminum sleeve and the steel wire together.

[0009] This technical solution uses a combination of a material distribution mechanism and a riveting mechanism to distribute and position aluminum sleeves one by one, and then automatically rivets them, which significantly improves efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and enhances safe production.

[0011] When the movable seat is in the material distribution position, the pressing module moves down close to the receiving groove and abuts against the aluminum sleeve in the receiving groove. The aluminum sleeve is relatively fixed by the pressing module, which prevents the aluminum sleeve from shifting when the riveting mechanism is working.

[0012] The lower end of the pressing module is provided with a V-groove for abutting against the aluminum sleeve. The V-groove has an inclined groove wall, which can accommodate aluminum sleeves of different outer diameters.

[0049] The riveting mechanism 40 includes two parts, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the movable seat 32 and move up and down synchronously with the movable seat 32.

[0050] The riveting mechanism 40 includes a punch 41 for riveting the side wall of the aluminum sleeve 100; the left and right sides of the movable seat 32 are respectively provided with through holes 322 that penetrate into the receiving groove 321; the punch 41 is inserted into the through hole 322 on the same side, and the punch 41 can move left and right to enter and exit the receiving groove 321.

[0051] This technical solution uses the cooperation of the material distribution mechanism 30 and the riveting mechanism 40 to distribute and position the aluminum sleeve 100 one by one, and then automatically rivet it, which significantly improves efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and enhances safe production.

[0052] The guide hole 311 of the fixed seat 31 of the material distribution mechanism 30 in this technical solution has a buffering effect, and the aluminum sleeve 100 falling into the receiving groove 321 is lifted away from the conveyor line, which can avoid the accumulation of multiple aluminum sleeves during the feeding process, pushing the front aluminum sleeve and affecting the stability of the aluminum sleeve in the receiving groove 321.

The socket 101 is located at one end of the sleeve portion 102, and the limiting portion 103 is located at the other end opposite to the socket 101. The shape of the receiving groove 321 corresponds to that of the aluminum sleeve 100, which can limit its left and right swing.

[0057] The fixing mechanism 50 includes a pressing module 51; the pressing module 51 is located above the receiving groove 321 of the movable seat 32; the pressing module 51 is movably mounted on the fixed seat 31 to approach or move away from the receiving groove 321 of the movable seat 32; the pressing module 51 is used to press and fix the aluminum sleeve 100 in the receiving groove 321 when it is close to the receiving groove 321.

[0058] The fixed base 31 is provided with a pressing drive mechanism 52, which is connected to the pressing module 51 to drive the pressing module 51 to move up and down. Specifically, the pressing drive mechanism 52 is a cylinder.

[0059] When the movable seat 32 is in the material distribution position, the pressing module 51 moves down to approach the receiving groove 321 and abuts against the aluminum sleeve 100 in the receiving groove 321. The aluminum sleeve 100 is relatively fixed by the pressing module 51, so as to prevent the aluminum sleeve from shifting when the riveting mechanism 40 is working.

[0060] The lower end of the pressing module 51 is provided with a V-groove 511 for abutting against the aluminum sleeve 100. The V-groove 511 has a sloping groove wall, which can be used for aluminum sleeves with different outer diameters.

[0061] The wire guiding mechanism 60 includes a guide block 61, on which a guide hole 62 is provided for the wire 110 to pass through; the guide hole 62 includes a wire inlet 621 and a wire outlet 622; the guide block 61 is close to the movable seat 32 and the wire outlet 622 is connected to the front end of the receiving groove 321.

[0062] The guide block 61 includes a first guide block 611 and a second guide block 612; the first guide block 611 is provided with a first half hole 62A; the second guide block 612 is provided with a second half hole 62B; the guide hole 62 is formed by the first half hole 62A and the second half hole 62B; the first guide block 611 and the second guide block 612 can open and close by moving closer to or further away from each other.

[0063] The steel wire inlet 621 is larger than the steel wire outlet 622, and the hole wall 623 of the guide hole 62 is a conical surface; this facilitates the insertion of the steel wire.

[0064] The wire guiding mechanism 60 also includes an opening and closing drive mechanism 63 connected to the guide block 61 to drive the guide block 61 to open and close.

[0065] The opening and closing drive mechanism 63 is a pneumatic finger cylinder, and two guide blocks 61 are fixed on the gripper 631 of the pneumatic finger cylinder. The opening and closing drive mechanism 63 is mounted on the movable seat 32 to facilitate stable alignment between the guide hole 62 and the receiving groove 321.

[0066] This technical solution guides the steel wire through the guide hole 62, making it easy for the steel wire to be accurately and quickly aligned and inserted into the aluminum sleeve; and the guide hole 62 is set on the openable guide block 61, so that after the riveting operation is completed, the guide hole 62 can be opened to facilitate the removal of the steel wire with the aluminum sleeve riveted.

[0067] The wire guiding mechanism 60 also includes a guide platform 64 fixed on the frame 10; the guide platform 64 is located in front of the guide block 61; the guide platform 64 is provided with a wire groove 641 for placing the wire, the wire groove 641 extends from the front end of the guide platform 64 to the rear end; the extended end of the wire groove 641 is opposite to the guide hole 62.

This technical solution improves the accuracy and convenience of steel wire alignment by setting a guide platform 64 for support and cooperating with the wire groove 641 for positioning; and the operator can stay away from the riveting mechanism 40, improving the safety of the operation.

[0069] In this embodiment, the bottom of the guide plate 64 is provided with a screw 65, which is fixed on the frame 10 with a nut 66. The height of the screw can be adjusted by rotating the nut 66.

[0070] The steel wire 110 can be placed on the guide table 64 in advance, and when the movable seat 32 reaches the material distribution position, it can be pushed into the aluminum sleeve 100 of the receiving groove 321 along the guide hole 62.

[0071] The movable seat 32 is equipped with a positioning sensor 70 for sensing whether the aluminum sleeve 100 has fallen into the receiving trough 321.

[0072] Specifically, the positioning sensor 70 includes a sensing element 71, which is located at the front end of the receiving groove 321. When the aluminum sleeve falls completely into the receiving groove 321, it contacts the sensing element 71, triggering the controller and starting the dispensing mechanism 30. When the positioning sensor 70 senses that the aluminum sleeve has reached the receiving groove 321, the movable seat 32 moves upward to switch to the dispensing position. At the same time, the pressing module 51 of the fixing mechanism 50 moves downward to abut against the aluminum sleeve 100 in the receiving groove 321.

[0073] The frame 10 is equipped with control buttons.

[0074] In use, the initial position of the movable seat 32 is the receiving position. When the feeding mechanism conveys the aluminum sleeve 100, the insertion port 101 faces the output direction. After the aluminum sleeve 100 is output from the discharge port 22, it passes through the guide hole 311 and falls into the receiving groove 321. After the aluminum sleeve reaches the receiving groove 321, the positioning sensor 70 is triggered, driving the movable seat 32 to rise to the dispensing position. At the same time, the pressing module 51 of the fixing mechanism 50 moves down and abuts against the aluminum sleeve 100 in the receiving groove 321. Then, one end of the steel wire 110 is inserted into the aluminum sleeve 100 along the guide hole 62 of the steel wire guiding mechanism 60. The riveting mechanism 40 is activated, causing the punch 41 to penetrate into the receiving groove 321 and punch both sides of the aluminum sleeve 100, riveting the aluminum sleeve and the steel wire 110 together. After the punch 41 and the pressing module 51 are reset, the first guide block 611 and the second guide block 612 are opened, and the product can be taken out. Similarly, the other end of the steel wire 110 can be riveted to the aluminum sleeve 100.

[0075] The above preferred embodiments should be regarded as illustrative examples of the embodiments of the present application. Any technical deductions, substitutions, improvements, etc. that are similar to or based on the present application should be considered within the scope of protection of this patent.
