[0002] Wire drawing machines are key pieces of equipment widely used in the metal processing field. They are mainly used to gradually reduce the diameter of thicker metal wires (such as copper wires and aluminum wires) through multiple drawing processes to obtain fine metal wires that meet specified specifications. During this process, the metal wires undergo significant plastic deformation, leading to problems such as residual stress and reduced plasticity, which affect subsequent processing performance.

[0003] To restore the processing performance of metal wire, annealing machines, as an important auxiliary equipment to wire drawing machines, are usually set after the drawing process or between multiple drawing passes. Annealing is a typical metal heat treatment process, which involves heating the metal wire to an appropriate temperature, holding it for a certain time, and then cooling it at a suitable rate. This effectively eliminates residual stress generated during cold working, improves the microstructure of the metal wire, reduces hardness, and enhances plasticity and toughness.

The fourth guide shaft 244 is arranged in a spaced manner with the second guide shaft 242, and the fourth guide shaft 244 is arranged at the right end of the second guide shaft 242, that is Figure 6 the horizontal direction.

[0027] A first guide wheel 251 is coaxially arranged on the first guide shaft 241, and the first guide wheel 251 can rotate around the axial direction of the first guide shaft 241; a second guide wheel 252 is coaxially arranged on the second guide shaft 242, and the second guide wheel 252 can rotate around the axial direction of the second guide shaft 242; a third guide wheel 253 is coaxially arranged on the third guide shaft 243, and the third guide wheel 253 can rotate around the axial direction of the third guide shaft 243; a fourth guide wheel 254 is coaxially arranged on the fourth guide shaft 244, and the fourth guide wheel 254 can rotate around the axial direction of the fourth guide shaft 244; further, the first guide wheel 251, the second guide wheel 252, the third guide wheel 253, and the fourth guide wheel 254 are used to guide the movement of the metal wire 150.

[0028] The wire drawing annealing machine further comprises a heat exchange assembly arranged inside the annealing box 110, the heat exchange assembly is arranged in the same vertical plane as the heating cylinder 206, and the heat exchange assembly is arranged at the upper end of the heating cylinder 206, that is Figure 6 the vertical direction, that is, the heat exchange assembly is arranged closer to the wire inlet hole 111.

[0029] Specifically, the unannealed metal wire 150 enters the installation groove 101 from the wire inlet port 102, is guided by the first tensioning roller 104 and the second tensioning roller 105 located at the top end of the annealing box 110, then enters the inside of the annealing box 110 from the wire inlet hole 111, and passes through the heat exchange assembly and the heating channel 207 in sequence.

[0030] In the heating channel 207, the unannealed metal wire 150 is heated to the required annealing temperature. Subsequently, the annealed metal wire 150 is guided by the first guide wheel 251, the second guide wheel 252, and the fourth guide wheel 254 in sequence, ensuring the stability of the running path.

[0031] Subsequently, the annealed metal wire 150 is wound on the heat exchange assembly for a preset number of turns and performs heat exchange. In this process, the annealed metal wire 150 transfers part of its heat to the unannealed metal wire 150 entering from the inlet hole 111 and passing through the heat exchange assembly, achieving preheating of the unannealed metal wire 150, so that the unannealed metal wire 150 is preheated before passing through the heating channel 207. Therefore, not only is the waste heat of the annealed metal wire 150 effectively recycled, reducing overall energy consumption, but also helps to improve the stability of the annealing process.

[0032] After the heat exchange is completed, the annealed metal wire 150 is guided by the third guide wheel 253 to pass out of the annealing box 110 from the outlet hole 112, is guided in turn by the remaining first tensioning rollers 104 and the second tensioning rollers 105 in the installation groove 101, passes out of the installation groove 101 through the outlet 103, and then enters the water cooling box 140 matched with the wire drawing annealing machine.

[0033] In one embodiment, the heat exchange assembly includes a heat conducting pipe 210, a guide mechanism, and two groups of support arms 201. The heat conducting pipe 210 is arranged vertically, and the two groups of support arms 201 are fixedly connected with the main housing 100 and are fixedly connected to the two ends of the heat conducting pipe 210, respectively. The guide mechanism includes a plurality of coaxially detachably connected spiral sleeve assemblies, and the plurality of spiral sleeve assemblies are coaxially arranged on the outside of the heat conducting pipe 210. The heat conducting pipe 210 is internally provided with a first channel 211 extending along the axial direction thereof, and the first channel 211 is used for passing the unannealed metal wire 150. When the annealed metal wire 150 passes through the spiral sleeve assembly, the heat carried by the annealed metal wire 150 is transferred into the first channel 211, which can preheat the unannealed metal wire 150.

[0034] In one embodiment, each group of spiral sleeve assemblies includes a first half ring sleeve 301 and a second half ring sleeve 302, and the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 are coaxially threadedly connected with the heat conducting pipe 210. The first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 can rotate and slide relative to the heat conducting pipe 210. The top of the first half ring sleeve 301 and the top of the second half ring sleeve 302 are fixedly provided with first protrusions 311, and the bottom of the first half ring sleeve 301 and the bottom of the second half ring sleeve 302 are provided with first notches 321. In the vertical direction, adjacent first half ring sleeves 301 are detachably and fitly connected through the cooperation of the first protrusions 311 and the first notches 321, and adjacent second half ring sleeves 302 are detachably and fitly connected through the cooperation of the first protrusions 311 and the first notches 321.

[0035] Meanwhile, the first half ring sleeve 301 is fixedly provided with a second protrusion 312 on one side wall and is provided with a second notch 322 on the other side wall, and the second half ring sleeve 302 is symmetrically arranged with the first half ring sleeve 301 in the side wall structure. Therefore, in each group of spiral sleeve assemblies, the second protrusion 312 on the first half ring sleeve 301 is embedded with the second notch 322 on the second half ring sleeve 302, and the second protrusion 312 on the second half ring sleeve 302 is embedded with the second notch 322 on the first half ring sleeve 301, so as to realize the transverse detachable connection between the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302.

[0036] Further, the outer wall of the first half ring sleeve 301 and the outer wall of the second half ring sleeve 302 are both provided with a second channel 331, which extends spirally around the central axis of the heat conduction pipe 210, and the second channel 331 on the outer wall of the first half ring sleeve 301 is symmetrically arranged with the second channel 331 on the outer wall of the second half ring sleeve 302. When the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 are embedded and connected, the second channel 331 on the outer wall of the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second channel 331 on the outer wall of the second half ring sleeve 302 together form a complete, continuous and spiral axial flow channel 332 around the heat conduction pipe 210.

[0037] In particular, the interior of the first half ring sleeve 301 and the interior of the second half ring sleeve 302 are both provided with a magnet 333, which further enhances the connection stability through the magnetic force of the magnet 333.

[0038] Specifically, when the unannealed metal wire 150 enters the interior of the annealing box 110 from the wire inlet hole 111, it successively passes through the first channel 211 and the heating channel 207 and is heated to the required annealing temperature in the heating channel 207. Subsequently, the annealed metal wire 150 is guided to enter the spiral flow channel 332 from the second circle position (from bottom to top direction) of the spiral flow channel 332 under the guidance of the first guide wheel 251, the second guide wheel 252 and the fourth guide wheel 254, and is wound for a predetermined number of turns in the spiral flow channel 332 while moving upward along the axial direction of the heat conduction pipe 210 in the spiral flow channel 332, that is, the upward direction in the spiral flow channel 332. Figure 6 In this process, the annealed metal wire 150 transfers part of its heat to the heat conduction pipe 210 through the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302, and the heat conduction pipe 210 conducts the heat to the unannealed metal wire 150 in the first channel 211, thereby achieving the preheating treatment of the unannealed metal wire 150.

[0039] Furthermore, since both the first semi-ring 301 and the second semi-ring 302 are threadedly connected to the heat pipe 210, when the annealed metal wire 150 moves within the spiral flow channel 332, friction causes all the first semi-rings 301 and all the second semi-rings 302 to rotate around the axial direction of the heat pipe 210 and move upwards along the axial direction of the heat pipe 210. Figure 6 In the vertical direction within the spiral sleeve assembly, to maintain the stability of the movement of the annealed metal wire 150 during this process, the guiding mechanism detaches the first half-ring 301 and the second half-ring 302 located at the top of the heat pipe 210 from the entire spiral sleeve assembly. Simultaneously, the first half-ring 301 and the second half-ring 302 gradually separate. Then, the separated first half-ring 301 and the second half-ring 302 are moved downwards along the axial direction of the heat pipe 210 to the bottom of the heat pipe 210. The first half-ring 301 and the second half-ring 302 are then reassembled and fitted together radially along the heat pipe 210, and reconnected to the entire spiral sleeve assembly along the axial direction of the heat pipe 210. This process is continuously repeated to ensure that the overall height remains constant, ensuring the continuity and stability of the annealed metal wire 150's movement within the spiral flow channel 332.

[0040] In one embodiment, the guiding mechanism includes a drive unit, a first gripping unit, and a second gripping unit. The drive unit includes a limiting rod 204, a reciprocating screw 202, and a sliding rod 203. Two sets of support arms 201 are respectively disposed at both ends of the limiting rod 204, allowing the limiting rod 204 to rotate relative to the two sets of support arms 201. A first gear 231 and a second gear 232 are coaxially fixedly disposed on the limiting rod 204, with the first gear 231 meshing with either the first semi-ring sleeve 301 or the second semi-ring sleeve 302. The two sets of support arms 201 are respectively disposed at both ends of the reciprocating screw 202, allowing the reciprocating screw 202 to rotate relative to the two sets of support arms 201. The support arm 201 rotates relative to the other arm; when the reciprocating screw 202 rotates around its own axis, the sliding rod 203 can slide along the axis of the reciprocating screw 202; a third gear 233 is fixedly installed on the reciprocating screw 202, and the third gear 233 meshes with the second gear 232; the first gripping unit drives the first half-ring 301 located at the top of the heat pipe 210 to move to the bottom of the heat pipe 210, and the second gripping unit drives the second half-ring 302 located at the top of the heat pipe 210 to move to the bottom of the heat pipe 210.

[0041] In one of the embodiments, the first grabbing unit comprises a first connecting rod 401, a first guiding box 451, a first sensing claw and a first sliding box 431. The first connecting rod 401 is slidingly connected to one end of the sliding rod 203. The first sensing claw comprises a first rod 411 and a first ring 421. The first rod 411 is fixedly connected to the first ring 421. The first ring 421 can relatively slide and rotate with the first half ring sleeve 301 or the second half ring sleeve 302. The first rod 411 is fixedly connected to the first sliding box 431. The first guiding box 451 is fixedly connected to the first plate 121. The outer wall of the first sliding box 431 is fixedly provided with a first sliding block 441. The inner wall of the first guiding box 451 is provided with a first sliding channel 461. The first sliding block 441 can slide in the first sliding channel 461.

[0042] In one of the embodiments, the second grabbing unit comprises a second connecting rod 402, a second guiding box 452, a second sensing claw and a second sliding box 432. The second connecting rod 402 is slidingly connected to the other end of the sliding rod 203. The second sensing claw comprises a second rod 412 and a second ring 422. The second rod 412 is fixedly connected to the second ring 422. The second ring 422 can relatively slide and rotate with the first half ring sleeve 301 or the second half ring sleeve 302. The second rod 412 is fixedly connected to the second sliding box 432. The second guiding box 452 is fixedly connected to the second plate 122. The outer wall of the second sliding box 432 is fixedly provided with a second sliding block 442. The inner wall of the second guiding box 452 is provided with a second sliding channel 462. The second sliding block 442 can slide in the second sliding channel 462.

[0043] Further, the second sliding channel 462 comprises a first sliding groove 471 and a second sliding groove 472. The tail end of the first sliding groove 471 in the second sliding channel 462 is inclined to the lower left, i.e. Figure 11 the up-down direction and the left-right direction. The second sliding groove 472 in the second sliding channel 462 is in a curved structure. The curved opening of the second sliding groove 472 is towards the first sliding groove 471. Both ends of the second sliding groove 472 are in communication with the first sliding groove 471. In particular, the first sliding channel 461 and the second sliding channel 462 are symmetrical along the central axis of the heat conduction pipe 210.

[0044] In particular, the inner part of the first ring 421 and the inner part of the second ring 422 are provided with electromagnetic blocks 483. When the first ring 421 is attached to the first half ring sleeve 301 at the top end of the heat conduction pipe 210 and the second ring 422 is attached to the second half ring sleeve 302 at the top end of the heat conduction pipe 210, the electromagnetic blocks 483 in the inner part of the first ring 421 and the inner part of the second ring 422 will work.

[0045] Specifically, the first half-ring 301 and the second half-ring 302 rotate around the axial direction of the heat pipe 210, which drives the limiting rod 204 to rotate around its own axial direction through the first gear 231, thereby driving the second gear 232 and the third gear 233 to rotate synchronously, thus driving the reciprocating screw 202 to rotate around its own axial direction.

[0046] Furthermore, a reciprocating slide rail is provided on the reciprocating screw 202, and the sliding rod 203 is slidably connected to the reciprocating slide rail. When the reciprocating screw 202 rotates around its own axis and the first ring 421 is in contact with the first half-ring 301 located at the top of the heat pipe 210, and the second ring 422 is in contact with the second half-ring 302 located at the top of the heat pipe 210, the sliding rod 203 simultaneously slides upward along the axis of the reciprocating screw 202 within the reciprocating slide rail, that is... Figure 8 The vertical movement causes the first link 401 and the second link 402 to move upwards synchronously, which in turn causes the first link 411, the second link 412, the first ring 421, the second ring 422, the first sliding box 431, and the second sliding box 432 to slide upwards synchronously.

[0047] During this process, the first slider 441 slides upward and to the left along the second groove 472 in the first slide rail 461, and the second slider 442 slides upward and to the right along the second groove 472 in the second slide rail 462. Figure 9 The first ring 421 moves to the upper left and the second ring 422 moves to the upper right, moving in the up-down and left-right directions. During this process, the first connecting rod 401 and the second connecting rod 402 remain slidably connected to the sliding rod 203. Simultaneously, the electromagnetic blocks 483 inside the first ring 421 and the second ring 422 are energized, generating magnetic attraction. This causes the first ring 421 to move the first half-ring 301 at the top of the heat pipe 210 to the upper left, and the second ring 422 to move the second half-ring 302 at the top of the heat pipe 210 to the upper right. This causes the first half-ring 301 and the second half-ring 302 to detach from the entire spiral sleeve assembly, and the first half-ring 301 and the second half-ring 302 gradually separate from each other.

[0048] Subsequently, after sliding to the top of the reciprocating screw 202, the sliding direction of the sliding rod 203 changes, that is, it slides downward along the axial direction of the reciprocating screw 202. Figure 8 The first slider 441 slides downward along the first groove 471 in the first slide rail 461, causing the first ring 421 to move the first half-ring sleeve 301 downwards simultaneously; at the same time, the second slider 442 slides downward along the first groove 471 in the second slide rail 462, causing the second ring 422 to move the second half-ring sleeve 302 downwards simultaneously. Figure 9the first slider 441 slides to the end of the first sliding groove 471 in the first sliding groove 461, the first slider 441 slides along the first sliding groove 471 to the lower right, so that the first ring 421 drives the first half ring sleeve 301 to move to the lower right synchronously; at the same time, when the second slider 442 slides to the end of the first sliding groove 471 in the second sliding groove 462, the second slider 442 slides along the first sliding groove 471 to the lower left, so that the second ring 422 drives the second half ring sleeve 302 to move to the lower left synchronously, thereby making the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 gradually approach each other and re-embed in the bottom end of the heat conduction pipe 210. At this time, the power supply to the internal electromagnetic block 483 of the first ring 421 and the internal electromagnetic block 483 of the second ring 422 is cancelled, so that the magnetic force is lost.

[0049] Subsequently, due to the magnetic force of the internal magnet 333 of the first half ring sleeve 301 and the internal magnet 333 of the second half ring sleeve 302, the re-embedded first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 are attracted by the upper first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302, and then move upward along the axial direction of the heat conduction pipe 210, that is, Figure 8 the up-down direction in the figure, so that the re-embedded first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 are embedded with the upper first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302, and then the re-embedded first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 re-enter the entire spiral sleeve assembly.

[0050] Subsequently, after the sliding rod 203 slides to the bottom end of the reciprocating screw rod 202, the sliding direction is changed, that is, it slides upward along the axial direction of the reciprocating screw rod 202, thereby driving the first rod 411, the second rod 412, the first sliding box 431 and the second sliding box 432 to slide upward synchronously, that is, Figure 8 the up-down direction in the figure, so that the first ring 421 and the second ring 422 are reset. In this process, when the first slider 441 slides to the connection between the first sliding groove 471 and the second sliding groove 472 in the first sliding groove 461, the first slider 441 slides along the second sliding groove 472 to the upper right, that is, Figure 9the first ring 421 gradually fits the first half ring sleeve 301 at the top end of the heat conduction pipe 210; at the same time, when the second sliding block 442 slides to the connection between the first sliding groove 471 and the second sliding groove 472 in the second sliding channel 462, the second sliding block 442 slides along the second sliding groove 472 to the upper left, so that the second ring 422 gradually fits the second half ring sleeve 302 at the top end of the heat conduction pipe 210, preparing for the next cycle. Therefore, the process is continuously cycled to ensure that the annealed metal wire 150 continuously and stably moves in the spiral flow channel 332. Further, the annealed metal wire 150 is spirally wound in the spiral flow channel 332, effectively increasing the contact area of the annealed metal wire 150 with the spiral flow channel 332 and the heat exchange time with the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302, significantly improving the heat recovery and utilization efficiency.

[0051] In particular, the annealed metal wire 150 has good ductility and flexibility, can adapt to bending deformation in the spiral winding process, and will not break or be damaged due to bending deformation, ensuring the physical properties of the metal wire 150. At the same time, the annealed metal wire 150 in the spiral state will produce a certain vibration and friction during movement, which helps to further loosen and remove the impurity skin layer formed on the surface of the metal wire 150 during the annealing process, providing convenience for subsequent processes, and thus improving the overall processing efficiency and product quality.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first grabbing unit further comprises a first one-way plate 481, which is arranged in the first sliding channel 461 and is rotationally connected with the first guide box 451. The first grabbing unit further comprises a first torsion spring fixedly connected with the first guide box 451, and the first one-way plate 481 is rotationally connected with the first guide box 451 through the torsion spring. The first one-way plate 481 can only rotate downward, that is, Figure 9 the upward and downward directions and the left and right directions in the first ring 421. During the resetting process of the first ring 421, the first one-way plate 481 is used to ensure that the first sliding block 441 can slide along the right side slope of the second sliding groove 472 in the first sliding channel 461 during upward sliding of the first sliding block 441.

[0053] In one embodiment, the second grabbing unit further comprises a second one-way plate 482, which is arranged in the second sliding channel 462 and is rotationally connected with the second guide box 452. Further, the second grabbing unit further comprises a second torsion spring fixedly connected with the second guide box 452, and the second one-way plate 482 is rotationally connected with the second guide box 452 through the torsion spring. The second one-way plate 482 can only rotate downward, that is, Figure 9The up-and-down and left-and-right directions in the figure. In the resetting process of the second ring 422, the second one-way plate 482 is used to ensure that the second slider 442 can slide along the left inclined surface of the second sliding groove 472 in the second sliding channel 462 when the second slider 442 slides upward.

[0054] In one of the embodiments, the annealing box 110 is provided with a friction tube 220, which is arranged between the first guide wheel 251 and the second guide wheel 252 and is vertically fixed on the fourth plate 124. The friction tube 220 has a tapered structure, and the diameter of the friction tube 220 gradually decreases from bottom to top along the axial direction of the friction tube 220. Figure 6 The up-and-down direction in the figure. In addition, the friction tube 220 is internally provided with a friction channel extending along the axial direction of the friction tube 220. Specifically, when the annealed metal wire 150 passes into the friction channel from the end of the friction tube 220 with a larger diameter, the contact friction between the inner wall of the friction channel and the surface of the metal wire 150 can effectively clean the impurities formed on the surface of the metal wire 150 during the annealing process.

[0055] The working steps of the wire drawing annealing machine are as follows: S100, the unannealed metal wire 150 enters the installation slot 101 from the wire inlet 102, is guided by the first tensioning roller 104 and the second tensioning roller 105 located at the top of the annealing box 110, and is sent into the inside of the annealing box 110 through the wire inlet hole 111; S110, the unannealed metal wire 150 passes through the first channel 211 in the heat conduction pipe 210 for preheating treatment; S200, the unannealed metal wire 150 is heated to the required annealing temperature through the heating channel 207 in the heating cylinder 206; S210, the annealed metal wire 150 is guided by the first guide wheel 251 to the friction tube 220; S220, the annealed metal wire 150 passes through the friction channel in the friction tube 220 to clean the impurities formed on the surface of the metal wire 150 during the annealing process; S230, the annealed metal wire 150 is guided by the second guide wheel 252 and the fourth guide wheel 254 in turn, enters the spiral flow channel 332, and is wound several turns in the spiral flow channel 332; S300, the annealed metal wire 150 is wound in the spiral flow channel 332 and moves axially upward along the heat conduction pipe 210. In this process, the annealed metal wire 150 transmits part of the heat to the heat conduction pipe 210 through the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302, and then the heat conduction pipe 210 conducts the heat to the unannealed metal wire 150 in the first channel 211, thereby achieving the preheating treatment of the unannealed metal wire 150; S310, the annealed metal wire 150 drives the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 to rotate and move up through friction, and drives the reciprocating screw rod 202 to rotate through the first gear 231, the second gear 232 and the third gear 233; S320, the first ring 421 and the second ring 422 capture the first half ring sleeve 301 and the second half ring sleeve 302 at the top end of the heat conduction pipe 210 respectively, and then separate and move to the bottom end of the heat conduction pipe 210 to be re-embedded; S400, after the annealed metal wire 150 is output from the spiral flow channel 332, it is guided by the third guide wheel 253, enters the mounting groove 101 through the wire outlet hole 112 of the annealing box 110; S500, the annealed metal wire 150 is guided through the remaining first tensioning roller 104 and the second tensioning roller 105 in the mounting groove 101 in sequence, and then passes out of the mounting groove 101 through the wire outlet 103; S510, the annealed metal wire 150 finally enters the water cooling box 140 matched with the wire drawing annealing machine.
