Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wire harness processing equipment, and in particular to industrial equipment that realizes stranded wire length and stranding accuracy through guide rail limiting mechanisms and electromechanical linkage control. Background Art

[0002] Traditional stranding machines have the following technical defects:

[0003] 1. Insufficient clamping stability: One end of the wire is manually fixed rather than mechanically fixed, which can easily cause the wire to deviate during processing, resulting in uneven twisting.

[0004] 2. Rough length control: Relying on manual visual inspection or experience, and one end of the wire is not mechanically fixed. The length after twisting is easily changed, with an error exceeding ±5mm, which cannot meet the requirements of standardized production.

[0005] 3. Unbalanced tension control: Since one end of the wire is fixed by a clamp and the other end is manually pinched and fixed, the overall tension of the wire is easily uneven during the twisting process;

[0006] 4. The operation process is cumbersome: a single operation requires multiple steps: measuring the wire length → clamping the wire → measuring the wire length again → manually pinching and straightening the wire → starting the equipment → visually stopping the machine → disassembling. Multiple measurements of wire length and limit adjustments are required, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0007] 5. Manual visual circle measurement causes shutdown delay (delay error is about 0.5-3 seconds).

[0008] 6. The existing clamping device is easy to damage the surface of the wire (surface indentation rate>15%).

[0009] 7. Lack of precise coordination between clamping force and shutdown timing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be emphasized that the following description is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention and its application.

[0054] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element. In addition, the term "connected" can be used for both fixing and circuit / signal communication.

[0055] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0056] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0057] Traditional equipment has decoupling of the three major systems of mechanical positioning, electrical timing, and clamping force control, resulting in:

[0058] Length error>±5mm (mechanical and electrical separation);

[0059] There are many manual intervention links (failure of timing coordination);

[0060] Unable to meet standardized mass production (system out of control);

[0061] To this end, the core of the following embodiments of the present invention lies in the following design:

[0062] 1. Mechanical limit guide rail assembly:

[0063] Sliding limit block: The guide rail body is made of stainless steel, and a scale is set along the length of the guide rail, with a minimum division of 1mm;

[0064] Manual locking mechanism: The limit block is fixed to the preset position of the guide rail (such as 100mm, 150mm) by hand-tightening bolts, with a positioning accuracy of ±1mm;

[0065] 2. Cylinder clamping module:

[0066] Foot pedal trigger clamping: Hold the wire and straighten it so that it passes through the cylinder clamping jaws. Press the foot pedal to drive the double-acting cylinder to close the clamping jaws. The clamping force is preset by the pressure regulating valve (50-100N), ensuring that the wire is fixed during the stranding process without being crushed.

[0067] Loosening and clamping linkage design: the clamping force is preset by the pneumatic pressure regulating valve (50-100N), and the loosening action is linked with the stop signal. After the stranding is completed, the cylinder resets and the clamping jaws automatically release the wire.

[0068] 3. According to the linkage logic (pedal triggers clamping → delayed start of motor and counting → stop and release clamp when counting reaches the target), the circuit is designed as follows:

[0069] Initial state (pedal not pressed):

[0070] The foot pedal switch (SB2) is disconnected → the time relay (KT) is not energized → the KT contacts are disconnected, and the motor and the rotating shaft are stationary;

[0071] The cylinder solenoid valve (Y1) loses power → the cylinder is in the unclamped state;

[0072] The normally closed contact of the mechanical counter (KC) is closed, but there is no signal input.

[0073] Press the foot pedal to trigger the clamping:

[0074] The foot pedal switch (SB2) is closed → the time relay (KT) coil is energized and timing begins (1s delay);

[0075] The coil of the intermediate relay (KA) is energized → its contacts are closed, the cylinder solenoid valve (Y1) is energized → the double-acting cylinder is supplied with air, and the clamping jaws close to clamp the wire (the clamping force is preset by the pressure regulating valve);

[0076] The contacts of the intermediate relay (KA) remain closed to ensure that the cylinder remains clamped after the foot pedal is released (to prevent accidental loosening).

[0077] Delayed start of motor and count:

[0078] After the time relay (KT) times for 1 second, the KT delayed closing contact closes → the motor controller (KM) receives the start signal and the brushless DC motor begins to rotate;

[0079] Every time the stranding machine clamp rotates 360°, the internal gear of the mechanical counter (KC) counts (the display shows the number of revolutions).

[0080] The count reaches the target and triggers the machine to stop and release the clamp:

[0081] When the mechanical counter accumulates to the preset number of turns, the internal mechanical structure moves → the normally closed contact, and the mechanical counter contact (KC) is disconnected;

[0082] The time relay (KT) coil loses power → the motor controller (KM) has no signal input, and the stranding machine clamp stops rotating;

[0083] The mechanical counter contact (KC) is disconnected → the intermediate relay (KA) coil loses power → its contacts switch, the cylinder solenoid valve clamping terminal (Y2) is energized → the double-acting cylinder is exhausted, and the clamp releases the wire;

[0084] The operator takes out the finished product, and the mechanical counter automatically resets (KC contacts reclose) and enters the next cycle.

[0085] Example 1

[0086] This embodiment is a brushless DC stranding machine length control device based on a mechanical guide rail, comprising:

[0087] Mechanical limit rail assembly: includes a rail body, a fixed base installed under the rail for fixing the rail body, a scale set along the length of the rail, a slidable limit block and a detachable fixing piece. The limit block is fixed to a preset position on the rail by a detachable fixing piece to achieve positioning of the wire clamping end;

[0088] Cylinder clamping module: includes a cylinder, a clamping jaw and a trigger device. The trigger device drives the cylinder to close the clamping jaw to clamp the wire. The clamping force is preset by the pressure regulating device.

[0089] Turn number control and shutdown control module: includes a counter and a linkage signal circuit. The counter is linked to the twisting machine's rotating shaft to detect the number of twisted turns and trigger the motor to power off and stop when the preset value is reached, and synchronously control the cylinder to reset and release the clamp.

[0090] The minimum division of the scale ruler is ≤1mm, and the limit block is provided with an indicator mark aligned with the ruler.

[0091] The linkage signal circuit includes a relay module, and the relay controls the cylinder solenoid valve to switch the air circuit to achieve synchronization of the clamping action and the shutdown signal.

[0092] The detachable fixing part includes a clamping jaw module and a hand-tightening bolt; the triggering device includes a foot pedal and a pneumatic pressure regulating valve. The foot pedal triggers the cylinder to close the clamping jaw, and the clamping force is preset to 50-100N through the pneumatic pressure regulating valve.

[0093] The counter is coaxially mounted with the rotating shaft and triggers a counting signal every time the shaft rotates 360°.

[0094] An anti-skid layer is provided on the inner side of the clamping jaw to prevent the wire from slipping.

[0095] The contact surface of the cylinder clamping module is provided with a flexible buffer layer.

[0096] A time delay control unit is included to ensure that the start of the motor has a preset delay time relative to the clamping action.

[0097] The guide rail assembly is made of highly wear-resistant metal, and the moving parts are made of lightweight alloy materials; an anti-slip rubber pad is provided on the inside of the clamping jaw to prevent damage to the wire surface during clamping.

[0098] The length control method of the stranding machine of this embodiment includes the following steps: S1. Setting a predetermined processing length on a guide rail with a scale through a slidable limit block; S2. Triggering the cylinder clamping module to fix the wire with a preset pressure; S3. After completing the clamping action and after a preset delay, driving the rotating shaft; S4. Real-time detection of the rotational motion state through a counter and a linkage signal circuit; S5. When the detection value reaches the set threshold, synchronously triggering the motor to stop and the cylinder to reset and release the clamp.

[0099] The preset delay of step S3 is adjustable within a range of 0.5-2 seconds.

[0100] After step S5 is executed, the counter is automatically reset and the system enters the standby cycle state.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] Specifically, the mechanical limit rail assembly of this embodiment includes: a stainless steel rail body (providing high strength and wear resistance), a fixed base installed below the rail to fix the rail body, a scale set along the length of the rail, a slidable limit block and a clamping claw module, and a hand-tightening bolt. The limit block is fixed to a preset position on the rail by a hand-tightening bolt, with a positioning accuracy of ±1mm.

[0103] The cylinder clamping module includes a double-acting cylinder, a clamping jaw, a foot pedal, and a pneumatic pressure regulating valve. The foot pedal triggers the cylinder to close the clamping jaw, and the clamping force is preset to 50-100N by the pressure regulating valve.

[0104] The turn count control and shutdown module is a pre-set turn count start and stop control module, including a mechanical counter and linkage signal circuit. The mechanical counter is installed at the end of the stranding machine's rotating shaft (coaxial with the stranding machine clamp). Its counting trigger end is linked to the rotating shaft (triggering a count every 360° of rotation), and the display screen is exposed on the stranding machine operation panel (function: real-time display of the number of stranded turns). When the preset number of turns is reached, the counter triggers the motor to shut down and simultaneously sends a signal to the cylinder to reset and release the clamp.

[0105] The minimum division of the scale ruler is 1mm. The surface of the limit block is provided with an indicator mark aligned with the ruler, which is used to intuitively set the stranded wire length; the 0 scale line of the guide rail scale ruler is flush with the surface of the limit block, and the clamping claw is flush with the surface of the limit block. At this time, the distance between the 0 scale line and the limit block is the stranded wire length. By sliding the limit block, the indicator mark is aligned with the target scale of the ruler (such as 150mm). At this time, the distance between the clamping claw and the stranding machine clamp is the stranded wire length (150mm). One end of the wire is clamped by the stranding machine clamp (corresponding to the 0 point of the ruler), and the other end is clamped by the limit block clamping claw (corresponding to the target scale point of the ruler). After the wire is straightened, it is parallel to the length direction of the guide rail to ensure that the measured length is the actual stranded length.

[0106] The loosening action of the cylinder clamping module is linked to the shutdown signal, which triggers the cylinder to reset after shutdown;

[0107] The linkage signal circuit includes a relay module, which controls the cylinder solenoid valve to switch the air path to complete the clamping after receiving the power-off signal.

[0108] There is an anti-slip rubber pad on the inside of the clamping jaws to prevent damage to the wire surface when clamping.

[0109] A twister clamp is installed at the end of the brushless DC motor's rotating shaft to hold one end of the wire. The motor's control circuit is linked to the pedal signal from the cylinder clamping module, and a time relay is used to provide a 1-second start delay. This ensures that the cylinder is fully clamped before twisting begins.

[0110] The stranding machine clamp is installed at the end of the rotating shaft, clamping one end of the wire and rotating synchronously with the rotating shaft; the cylinder clamping module is installed in combination with the slidable limit block to clamp the other end of the wire and keep it fixed; the motor provides rotational power, and the rotating shaft transmits torque to the stranding machine clamp;

[0111] The guide rails are made of stainless steel (for better wear resistance), while the limit blocks and cylinder housings are coated with aluminum alloy to reduce the overall weight.

[0112] Taking the stranded length of 150mm electronic wire as an example, after operating the stranding machine to set the number of strands, the following process is carried out:

[0113] 1. Length setting: Slide the limit block along the scale to the 150mm position and tighten the thumb bolts to secure;

[0114] 2. Wire fixing: Hold the wire through the cylinder clamp and step on the foot pedal to trigger the cylinder to clamp;

[0115] 3. Start twisting the wire: After the cylinder is clamped, there is a delay of about 1 second, and the brushless DC motor starts to drive the wire clamp to rotate the wire;

[0116] 4. Automatic shutdown: When the stranding machine counter accumulates to the set number of turns, the electromagnetic clutch is powered off and shut down, and the cylinder is triggered to release the clamp;

[0117] 5. Reclaiming cycle: The operator takes out the finished product and puts in new wire to enter the next cycle.

[0121] The circuit of this embodiment is as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, fuse FU1 and thermal relay FR provide dual overload and short-circuit protection, ensuring safe operation of the equipment. Start button SB2 controls cylinder clamping terminal Y1 via intermediate relay KA, closing the cylinder jaws. Start button SB2 controls motor KM via time relay KT. When the preset number of revolutions is reached, KC opens, de-energizing time relay KT and stopping motor KM. KC disconnects, de-energizing intermediate relay KA, energizing cylinder opening terminal Y2 and opening the jaws. The linkage signal circuit uses an Omron relay (model: MY4NJ, control voltage 24VDC).

[0122] This embodiment as a whole is as follows Figure 4 Its working principle is as follows:

[0123] After receiving the counter signal, the relay switches the solenoid valve air path (intake → exhaust).
