Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible wire arranging devices, and particularly relates to a flexible wire arranging device and a wire arranging method. Background Art
[0002] In devices such as motors and power tools, carbon brushes are key components for current conduction. The carbon brushes ensure stable current transmission and normal operation of the devices by closely contacting rotating components (such as commutators or slip rings). In the structure of carbon brushes, multiple flexible copper wires for conducting electricity are connected to the bottom, and these flexible copper wires play a crucial role when the carbon brushes are installed into the device tools.
[0003] Currently, in the process of installing carbon brushes into tools, there are significant technical defects: Firstly, it is necessary to straighten the flexible copper wires at the bottom of the carbon brushes for subsequent insertion into the tools. However, the existing operation methods mainly rely on manual straightening of the flexible copper wires and then manual insertion into the tools by humans. This purely manual operation method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, the efficiency of manual operation is extremely low, greatly limiting the improvement of production efficiency and making it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale industrial production. On the other hand, manual straightening cannot ensure that the straightened flexible copper wires have a stable and appropriate hardness. The inconsistent hardness of the flexible copper wires will cause difficulties in the subsequent installation process, affect the product quality and assembly stability, and may even lead to electrical connection failures, reducing the reliability and service life of the equipment. Therefore, the existing carbon brush installation method needs to be improved urgently, and a new technical solution is required to improve the carbon brush installation efficiency, ensure the quality of straightening the flexible copper wires, and thus improve the production quality and performance of the overall equipment.

[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. A positioning and loading assembly is arranged on a base, and a twisting assembly is arranged at the bottom of the positioning and loading assembly based on a first sliding lifting assembly. The positioning and loading assembly realizes positioning of the carbon brush by means of stepped positioning grooves provided on two loading seats, and multiple carbon brushes are positioned and fixed by means of positioning and fixing holes formed by a combination of stepped positioning grooves. Subsequently, the twisting assembly drives the twisting clamp to clamp the flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush through the clamp electric cylinder and drives the clamp electric cylinder to rotate through the twisting motor so as to twist the flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush into a strand. The twisting clamp includes a clamping base and a gathering groove with a gradually increasing diameter from top to bottom is provided in the clamping base along a vertical direction, and a clamping groove for positioning and clamping the bottom of the carbon brush is provided at the top of the clamping base, and a twisting block is provided in the clamping groove based on a spring. When twisting the wire, the bottom of the carbon brush is clamped in the clamping groove, and the spring is compressed to cause the twisting block to retract into the clamping base. The flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush is gathered in the gathering groove, and then the first vertical lifting slide of the first sliding lifting assembly drives the clamping claw electric cylinder and the twisting claw to descend so that the bottom of the carbon brush is out of the clamping groove, and the spring drives the twisting block to return so that the flexible wires at the bottom of the carbon brush are gathered into the twisting hole, and then the twisting motor drives the twisting claw to rotate while the first vertical lifting slide drives the twisting claw to descend so as to twist the flexible wire into a strand, and by utilizing the fact that the more the flexible wire is away from the carbon brush, the more dispersed it is, so that the flexible wire is gathered into the clamping groove and the gathering groove, reducing the possibility that some flexible wires cannot be twisted into a strand, ensuring that the twisted flexible copper wire has a stable and appropriate hardness, and by opening a plurality of spiral grooves on the side wall of the twisting hole to assist the twisting of the wire, and by opening a gathering hole at one end of the twisting hole close to the gathering groove, the scattered flexible wires are prevented from breaking during the gathering process;
[0023] 2. The flexible straightening component is fixedly provided with a clamping clamping block at the clamping end of the third clamping cylinder. The clamping clamping block is fixedly provided with a plurality of clamping plates at even intervals on the clamping block and a V-shaped positioning groove is provided on the clamping plate. When clamping, the clamping plates of the two clamping clamping blocks are staggered and combined, and the V-shaped positioning grooves are combined into a clamping groove for clamping the flexible wire, thereby positioning the twisted flexible wire. When installing, the flexible wire straightening component first clamps the end of the twisted flexible wire and pulls the flexible wire downward to complete the initial straightening of the flexible wire as a whole, and then releases it and moves upward to clamp the non-end area of the bottom area of the flexible wire and pulls the flexible wire downward to complete the straightening again. Since there is a small distance between the bottom of the flexible wire and the clamping position, this section of the flexible wire can ensure high strength and is convenient for insertion into the workpiece for assembly, avoiding the need for manual twisting and straightening and manual installation. The two straightenings improve the straightening effect and the production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Embodiment 1:
[0036] refer to Figure 1 toFigure 9 , a flexible wire arranging device, comprising a base 1, on which a positioning and feeding component 2 is fixedly connected. A number of carbon brushes are temporarily stored on the positioning and feeding component 2. At the bottom of the positioning and feeding component 2 on the base 1, a twisting component 4 for twisting the flexible wires at the bottom of the carbon brushes into one strand is movably connected based on a first sliding and lifting component 3. The first sliding and lifting component 3 drives the twisting component 4 to perform sliding and lifting movements in the horizontal and vertical directions. On the top of the positioning and feeding component 2 on the base 1, a carbon brush clamping component 6 for clamping the carbon brushes to realize loading and unloading and a flexible wire straightening component 7 for straightening the flexible wires twisted into one strand are respectively movably connected based on a second sliding and lifting component 5. The second sliding and lifting component 5 drives the carbon brush clamping component 6 to convey the carbon brushes from the tray to the positioning and feeding component 2, and convey the carbon brushes with the twisting completed from the positioning and feeding component 2 to the assembly station of the workpiece. The flexible wire straightening component 7 straightens the flexible wires twisted into one strand at the bottom of the carbon brushes to facilitate the installation on the workpiece.
[0037] Reference Figures 2 to 3 , specifically, the positioning and feeding component 2 includes a feeding seat 22 symmetrically slidably connected to the base 1 based on a slide rail 21 and a slide cylinder 23 symmetrically fixedly connected to the base 1 for driving the feeding seat 22 to slide. A number of stepped positioning grooves 24 matching the shape of the carbon brushes are evenly spaced along a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction on the feeding seat 22. The stepped positioning grooves 24 on the two feeding seats 22 are combined to form a positioning fixing hole for realizing the positioning and fixing of the carbon brushes. The slide cylinder 23 drives the feeding seats 22 to merge so that the stepped positioning grooves 24 are merged into the positioning fixing hole, thereby realizing the positioning and fixing of the carbon brushes. Laser detection sensors 25 corresponding to and cooperating with the stepped positioning grooves 24 are evenly spaced and fixedly connected to one side of the feeding seat 22 away from the stepped positioning grooves 24. The laser detection sensors 25 emit laser to detect whether the carbon brushes are in place, thereby avoiding the influence of the lack of carbon brushes on the assembly process of the workpiece during subsequent automatic installation.
[0038] Reference Figures 4 to 5Specifically, the first sliding lifting assembly 3 includes a first horizontal screw slide 31 fixedly connected to the base 1 in the horizontal direction and a first vertical lifting slide 32 fixedly connected to the sliding end of the first horizontal screw slide 31 in the vertical direction. The torsion assembly 4 includes a torsion motor 41 fixedly connected to the sliding end of the first vertical lifting slide 32 in the vertical direction and a clamping cylinder 42 fixedly connected to the torsion motor 41. A torsion clamp 43 for clamping the flexible wire is symmetrically arranged at the clamping end of the clamping cylinder 42. The torsion assembly 4 drives the torsion clamp 43 to clamp the flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush through the clamping cylinder 42 and drives the clamping cylinder 42 to rotate through the torsion motor 41, so as to twist the flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush into a strand. During the torsion process, the first vertical lifting slide 32 drives the torsion assembly 4 to descend as a whole. The torsion clamp 43 includes a clamping base 431 and a gathering groove 432 which is opened in the clamping base 431 along the vertical direction and is used to gather the flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush. A clamping groove 433 for positioning and clamping the bottom of the carbon brush is opened at the top of the clamping base 431. The clamping groove 433 is connected to the gathering groove 432 and the gathering groove 432 gradually increases in diameter from top to bottom. A torsion block 435 is connected to the clamping groove 433 based on spring sliding. A torsion hole 436 is opened in the center of the torsion block 435, and a plurality of screw holes are opened on the side wall of the torsion hole 436. The twisting hole 436 is provided with a gathering hole 437 for gathering the flexible wire at one end near the gathering groove 432, and the twisting clamp 43 includes a clamping base 431 and a gathering groove 432 with a diameter gradually increasing from top to bottom in the clamping base 431 along the vertical direction, and a clamping groove 433 for positioning and clamping the bottom of the carbon brush is provided at the top of the clamping base 431, and a twisting block 435 is provided in the clamping groove 433 based on a spring. When twisting the wire, the bottom of the carbon brush is clamped in the clamping groove 433, and the spring is compressed to make the twisting The block 435 is retracted into the clamping base 431, and the flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush is gathered in the gathering groove 432. Then, the first vertical lifting slide 32 of the first sliding lifting assembly 3 drives the clamping electric cylinder 42 and the twisting clamp 43 to descend so that the bottom of the carbon brush is separated from the clamping groove 433. The spring drives the twisting block 435 to return so that the flexible wire at the bottom of the carbon brush is gathered into the twisting hole 436. Then, the twisting motor 41 drives the twisting clamp 43 to rotate, and at the same time, the first vertical lifting slide 32 drives the twisting clamp 43 to descend so that the flexible wire is twisted into a strand. By utilizing the fact that the flexible wire is more dispersed as it is farther away from the carbon brush, the flexible wire is gathered into the clamping groove 433 and the gathering groove 432, the possibility of some flexible wires being unable to be twisted into a strand is reduced, ensuring that the twisted flexible copper wire has stable and appropriate hardness, and by providing a plurality of spiral grooves 438 on the side wall of the torsion hole 436 to assist in twisting the wire. At the same time, by providing a gathering hole 437 at one end of the torsion hole 436 close to the gathering groove 432, the gathering hole 437 can prevent the dispersed flexible wires from breaking during the gathering process.
[0039] refer to Figures 6 to 9 Specifically, the second sliding lifting assembly 5 includes a second horizontal screw slide 51 fixedly connected to the base 1 along the horizontal direction and a second vertical lifting slide 52 fixedly connected to the sliding end of the second horizontal screw slide 51 along the vertical direction, and a sliding seat 53 is fixedly connected to the sliding end of the second vertical lifting slide 52. The carbon brush clamping assembly 6 includes a first lifting cylinder 61 fixedly connected to the sliding seat 53 along the vertical direction and a first clamping cylinder 62 and a second clamping cylinder 63 respectively fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the first lifting cylinder 61 in parallel, and the clamping ends of the first clamping cylinder 62 and the second clamping cylinder 63 are fixedly connected with a clamping block 64 for clamping the carbon brush. A locating groove 65 for locating and accommodating the carbon brush is provided in the clamping block 64. The first clamping cylinder 62 and the second clamping cylinder 63 respectively drive the corresponding clamping block 64 to clamp the carbon brush so that the carbon brush is positioned and clamped in the locating groove 65. Two clamping cylinders are provided so that the number of carbon brushes clamped at a single time can be flexibly adjusted. The flexible wire straightening component 7 includes a second lifting cylinder 71 fixedly connected to the sliding seat 53 along the vertical direction and a third clamping cylinder 72 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second lifting cylinder 71. A clamping block 73 for holding the bottom area of the twisted flexible wire and pulling the flexible wire downward is fixedly connected to the clamping end of the third clamping cylinder 72. The clamping block 73 includes a clamping base 731 and a plurality of clamping plates 732 evenly spaced and fixedly connected to the clamping end of the clamping base 731 along the vertical direction. The clamping plate 732 is provided with at least two V-shaped V-shaped positioning grooves 733 for positioning the twisted flexible wire. The clamping plates 732 of the two clamping blocks 73 are staggered, and when the V-shaped positioning grooves 733 are combined, a clamping groove 734 for clamping the flexible wire is formed. When clamping, the clamping plates 732 of the two clamping blocks 73 are staggered, and the V-shaped positioning grooves 733 are combined to form a clamping groove 734 for clamping the flexible wire. 34 Thus, the flexible wire twisted into a strand is positioned. When installing, the flexible wire straightening assembly 7 first clamps the end of the flexible wire twisted into a strand and pulls the flexible wire downward to make the flexible wire as a whole complete the initial straightening. Then, it is released and moves upward to clamp the non-end area of the bottom area of the flexible wire and pull the flexible wire downward to complete the straightening again. Since there is a small distance between the bottom of the flexible wire and the clamping position, this section of the flexible wire can ensure high strength and is easy to insert into the workpiece for assembly, avoiding the need for manual twisting and straightening and manual installation. The two straightenings improve the straightening effect. In this embodiment, the clamping position of the clamping block 73 is between 4-10mm and preferably 4mm away from the bottom of the flexible wire twisted into a strand. While achieving positioning, it can also ensure that the flexible core wire protruding from the bottom of the clamping block 73 has sufficient strength to be inserted into the workpiece for positioning.
