Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic wire threading machines, in particular to an automatic wire threading machine and a wire threading method. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of the medium-speed wire automatic threading machine is to realize the automatic drilling and conveying process of molybdenum wire (electrode wire) through a precise control system and an automated mechanical structure. This process is highly automated, which significantly improves production efficiency and reduces errors caused by manual operation. Specifically, the medium-speed wire automatic threading machine uses a photoelectric sensor to detect the small holes on the workpiece and transmits the signal to the control system. The control system then activates the automatic wire threading mechanism and the wire feeding mechanism. During the automatic wire threading process, the wire threader is accurately aligned with the position of the small hole, and the molybdenum wire is quickly passed through the small hole through the action of pressure and current, and the subsequent conveying and positioning are completed.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent authorization publication number CN118808805A is an automatic wire threading machine for medium-speed wire, including a workbench, the workbench including a table body, a thread rolling mechanism is arranged at one end of the table body, a pulley assembly is arranged on one side of the workbench located at the thread rolling mechanism, and an arm assembly is arranged on the end of the workbench located at the pulley assembly away from the thread rolling mechanism. Both ends of the table body located at the position of the thread rolling mechanism are provided with traction grooves. After working, the cylinder pulls the auxiliary roller to move through the rotating seat, so that the main roller and the auxiliary roller change from a fitted state to a non-fitting and separated state, so that there is a gap between the two. The end of the molybdenum wire is placed on the side wall of the auxiliary roller close to the main roller. After working, the cylinder drives the auxiliary roller to move toward the position of the main roller until the side walls of the main roller and the auxiliary roller fit together, and clamps the excess end of the molybdenum wire; this method of fixing the molybdenum wire does not require cutting the excess part of the molybdenum wire, thereby achieving the effect of adaptive clamping and avoiding unnecessary waste caused by multiple cutting.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned prior art solution has the following defects: the upper wire threading arm and the lower receiving arm are far apart and there is a certain distance between them and the material. During the wire threading process, the stability and accuracy of the wire threading are difficult to ensure, resulting in low wire threading efficiency.

The wire threading receiving arm 7 is located below the wire threading arm 6, and the wire threading receiving arm 7 and the wire threading arm 6 have a wire receiving port on the same axis. The molybdenum wire starts from the molybdenum wire storage mechanism 4 and enters the wire threading arm 6 . The wire threading arm 6 passes the molybdenum wire through the material and is received by the wire threading receiving arm 7 , and then returns to the molybdenum wire storage mechanism 4 .

[0019] A wire tightening mechanism 31 is disposed on the side of the stand 3. The wire tightening mechanism 31 is located between the wire threading arm 6 and the molybdenum wire storage mechanism 4 and is used for tightening the molybdenum wire after threading.

[0020] The molybdenum wire storage mechanism 4 includes an automatic linear displacement mechanism 42, on which an automatic wire winding mechanism 41 is driven. The automatic linear displacement mechanism 42 drives the automatic wire winding mechanism 41 to move back and forth linearly, so that the molybdenum wire returned by the wire receiving arm 7 is always perpendicular to the automatic wire winding mechanism 41, which is convenient for the compact storage of the molybdenum wire.
