[0020] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.
[0022] See also Figure 1-5 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions: Example See Figure 1A wire drawing mechanism for steel cord includes a first wire feed shaft 1, a second wire feed shaft 2, a third wire feed shaft 5, a fourth wire feed shaft 6, and a first rotating wheel 3 and a second rotating wheel 4 arranged between the second wire feed shaft 2 and the third wire feed shaft 5, an adjusting mechanism 7 arranged on one side of the fourth wire feed shaft 6, and a take-up wheel 8 is arranged on one side of the adjusting mechanism 7.
[0023] The first wire feed spool 1, the second wire feed spool 2, the third wire feed spool 5 and the fourth wire feed spool 6 are all wire feed spools. The first wire feed spool 1 and the second wire feed spool 2 are responsible for the initial drawing, gradually drawing the thicker electroplated brass wire, controlling the compression ratio of the initial pass, and reducing the internal stress of the steel wire. The third wire feed spool 5 and the fourth wire feed spool 6 are responsible for the fine drawing at a higher speed, further refining the steel wire. At the same time, the straight line connecting the working surfaces of the first rotating wheel 3 and the second rotating wheel 4 makes the end working surfaces of the first wire feed spool 1 and the second wire feed spool 2 sections collinear with the first working surfaces of the third wire feed spool 5 and the fourth wire feed spool 6 sections, avoiding bending and deformation of the steel wire and reducing the loss of the copper plating layer. The first rotating wheel 3 and the second rotating wheel 4 serve as the transition of the wire turn.
[0024] The speed ratios among the first wire feed shaft 1, the second wire feed shaft 2, the third wire feed shaft 5 and the fourth wire feed shaft 6 are fixed and increase step by step (low speed → medium speed → high speed), thereby ensuring a smooth transition of the steel wire between the drawing sections. At the same time, emulsion cooling is used to reduce friction heat, thereby improving the drawing speed and the toughness of the steel wire and avoiding wire breakage during the wire drawing process. The adjustment mechanism 7 adds a tension wheel around the S line between the drawing passes, stabilizes the tension, and the swing amplitude of the tension wheel causes the length of the S line to change, thereby compensating for the risk of wire breakage due to insufficient compression rate in the drawing passes. Finally, the wire is taken up by the take-up wheel 8.
[0025] See Figure 2-Figure 5 The adjusting mechanism 7 includes a first mounting assembly 71 and a tension swing assembly 73 mounted on the first mounting assembly 71. The adjusting mechanism 7 also includes a wire take-up assembly 76 and two fixing bolts 77. The adjusting mechanism 7 also includes a first fixing assembly 72 and a second fixing assembly 74. The adjusting mechanism 7 adds an S-shaped wiring around the tension wheel between drawing passes. The first mounting assembly 71 provides an installation position for the tension swing assembly 73. The tension swing assembly 73 can be adaptively adjusted according to the current force of drawing the wire to avoid the wire from breaking due to excessive force of drawing the wire. The wire take-up assembly 76 provides an installation position for the first mounting assembly 71. The first mounting assembly 71 is fixed to the wire take-up assembly 76 by the fixing bolt 77. The angle difference formed between the first fixing assembly 72 and the tension swing assembly 73 makes the wire present an S-shaped wiring. The swing of the tension swing assembly 73 changes the wiring length of the S, thereby avoiding the situation where the compression rate of the drawing pass is insufficient.
[0026] The tension swing assembly 73 includes a mounting shaft 731, which is fixed on the first mounting assembly 71. A bearing 732 is rotatably mounted on the outer ring of the first mounting assembly 71. A support plate 733 is mounted on the outer wall of the bearing 732. An elastic shaft 734 is provided on the support plate 733. A tension swing shaft 737 is mounted on the end of the support plate 733 away from the bearing 732. A tension swing wheel 736 is rotatably mounted on the tension swing shaft 737. A tension fixing shaft 738 is provided on the first mounting assembly 71. A tension spring 735 is connected between the elastic shaft 734 and the tension fixing shaft 738.
[0027] The mounting shaft 731 limits the swing position of the support plate 733, the inner ring of the bearing 732 is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting shaft 731, the support plate 733 is fixed to the outer ring of the bearing 732, the tension swing shaft 737 is fixed on the support plate 733, the tension swing wheel 736 rotates on the tension swing shaft 737, the tension swing wheel 736 is an I-shaped wheel, when the steel wire passes over the tension swing wheel 736, the tension swing wheel 736 rotates to feed the wire, the tension fixing shaft 738 fixes the stretching distance of the tension spring 735, when the pressure of the steel wire is too large, the tensile elastic force of the tension spring 735 offsets the pulling pressure of the steel wire, thereby reducing the problem of steel wire breakage, and converting the instantaneous pulling pressure of the steel cord into controllable elastic potential energy, thereby achieving dynamic tension balance.
[0028] By setting the positions of the tension fixing shaft 738 and the elastic shaft 734, connecting the tension spring 735 between the tension fixing shaft 738 and the elastic shaft 734, the bearing 732 swings on the mounting shaft 731 to drive the support plate 733 to swing, so that the routing length of the drawn steel cord changes, thereby achieving the effect of offsetting the local stress of the drawn steel cord when the steel cord is drawn.
[0029] The first mounting assembly 71 includes a first mounting plate 711 , on which the mounting shaft 731 and the tension fixing shaft 738 are both fixed. The first mounting assembly 71 also includes a first positioning hole 714 , a second positioning hole 715 and a third positioning hole 716 .
[0030] The first mounting plate 711 provides an installation position for the tension swing assembly 73. The first mounting assembly 71 is the reference platform of the entire tension control system. The first fixed assembly 72 and the tension swing assembly 73 are installed on the first mounting plate 711 to form an S-shaped routing. The S-shaped routing design can effectively increase the wrap angle of the steel wire, thereby enhancing the stability of the tension control. The tension fixing shaft 738 locates the stretching position of the tension spring 735. The tension fixing shaft 738 ensures that the stretching distance of the tension spring 735 is always maintained in the optimal working range through precise positioning, so that during the operation of the steel wire, the elastic deformation of the spring is used to buffer the fluctuation of the tension. The mounting shaft 731 limits the swing position of the fixed support plate 733 to ensure that the support plate 733 moves smoothly within the preset range to avoid steel wire shaking or tension out of control due to excessive swinging.
