Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spring processing equipment technology, specifically a high-efficiency spring processing device with multi-station switching function. Background Technology
[0002] Compression springs, as key basic components for bearing impact and storing energy, are widely used in many fields such as automotive suspension, electronic device cushioning, and medical device repositioning. With the upgrading of the intelligent manufacturing industry, downstream industries not only have higher requirements for the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of compression springs, but also urgently need equipment with multi-specification adaptability. That is, the same production line needs to quickly switch to processing wires with diameters from 5mm to 20mm to meet the needs of small-batch, multi-variety production. This makes it increasingly difficult for traditional single-function processing equipment to adapt to flexible production scenarios.
[0003] The mainstream multi-station spring processing equipment in the current technology has obvious defects in coordination. For example, each station adopts an independent power and control module. The wire feeding speed of the whole line station and the winding speed of the forming station often have a mismatch, resulting in uneven wire stretching and spring pitch error exceeding ±0.3mm. In addition, the material transfer process relies on manual or special robot to transfer workpieces, which not only extends the station connection time to 3-5 seconds / piece, but also easily causes spring deformation or surface scratches due to improper clamping force, with a defect rate of more than 5%. Furthermore, when changing equipment, multiple components such as wire clamping mold and winding bar need to be replaced, and the time for switching a single specification exceeds 20 minutes, which seriously restricts production efficiency.
[0004] The adaptability and stability issues of existing equipment are also prominent. For example, the wire feeding mechanism is mostly a fixed gripper design, and the clamping force needs to be readjusted when the wire diameter is changed. In addition, it lacks a guiding and positioning structure, and the wire is prone to lateral displacement, which affects the subsequent forming accuracy. Furthermore, the unloading and ejection actions of the forming station rely on photoelectric sensors for triggering, which are easily affected by metal dust, causing delays in action. In addition, the grinding wheel spacing adjustment mechanism of the grinding station is slow to respond and cannot be synchronized with the switching of wire specifications. Moreover, the power transmission is easily interrupted due to spacing adjustment. These problems combined result in the overall processing efficiency of the equipment being less than 30 pieces / minute, which is difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of modern production. To address these issues, we propose a high-efficiency spring processing device with multi-station switching function. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention drives a slider via a first electric push rod, which, through a rotating plate linkage, causes multiple symmetrically arranged clamping rollers to move synchronously within an arc groove. This enables rapid, tool-free clamping of wires of different diameters. Simultaneously, the wire feeding power drives the cutter synchronously via a gear and belt transmission mechanism, ensuring precise linkage between the wire feeding length and the cutting action. This solves the problems of time-consuming mold changes and unstable length accuracy in traditional equipment, providing a reliable material supply foundation for continuous automated production. This invention achieves automated cycle of forming and unloading by designing an intelligent pneumatic system based on air pressure difference and mechanical blocks. During wire feeding, air pressure drives the mandrel to extend and fix the wire end. During winding, the system maintains the pressure difference to keep the unloading cylinder stationary. After cutting, the slide moves to block the exhaust port in sequence, thereby changing the pressure difference between the two chambers of the cylinder. This triggers the mandrel to reset and release the spring, and causes the piston push rod to push the unloading cylinder out of the spring. The entire process does not require complex sensors, and the actions are smooth and precise, greatly improving the forming and unloading efficiency and reliability. This invention achieves flexible and efficient connection between workstations by combining an adjustable-spacing grinding station with a material placement component that operates using the weight of springs. The second electric push rod can adjust the spacing between the two grinding belts to accommodate springs of different lengths. The material transfer station uses incomplete gear indexing drive, which allows the material placement table to stop precisely between the receiving, grinding, and unloading positions. The material placement component cleverly utilizes the weight of springs to achieve self-locking and release. Therefore, the entire system works smoothly and efficiently, completing a fully automated flow from forming to grinding and unloading. Attached Figure Description

A fourth spring 23 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the material placement platform 21. The other end of the fourth spring 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transfer platform 19. The fourth spring 23 supports the material placement platform 21. The weight of the spring causes the material placement platform 21 to press down, causing the L-shaped rods 20 and the clamping block 22 to clamp the spring. The structure is simple and practical, ensuring that the spring remains stable and does not fall off during the material transfer and grinding process.
[0024] An internal spline 24 is provided on the inner wall of the first bevel gear 306 located on the left side, and an external spline 25 is provided on the surface of the spline shaft 305. The surfaces of the internal spline 24 and the external spline 25 are meshed and connected. A set of third pulleys 26 is fixedly connected to the output end of the geared motor 402 at the left end of the spline shaft 305. The same third transmission belt 27 is sleeved on the surface of the set of third pulleys 26. Power is transmitted through the meshing of the internal spline 24 and the external spline 25. The spacing of the grinding plate support 302 is adjusted in conjunction with the second electric push rod 304, which ensures the continuous and stable rotation of the grinding belt 303, reduces the power source, simplifies the structure, and improves reliability.
[0025] The indexing gear 404 on the left is the driven gear, and the indexing gear 404 on the right is the driving gear. The indexing gear 404 on the right is an incomplete gear. Its working tooth section is used to move the driven gear, and its non-working arc section is used to stop and lock the driven gear. By using the incomplete driving indexing gear 404, the working tooth section drives the material to rotate, and the non-working arc section locks it, so that the material placement component stops precisely at the station connection, ensuring accurate alignment of the spring transfer.
[0026] A winding rod 216 is provided at the left end of the rotating rod 205. The rotating rod 205 and the winding rod 216 are connected by a snap-fit, which can be quickly installed or disassembled. A sliding groove 28 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide table 202. A shaping rod 29 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 28. A third electric push rod 30 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 28. The other end of the third electric push rod 30 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the shaping rod 29. A shaping wheel 31 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the shaping rod 29. The shaping wheel 31 is located to the right of the winding rod 216 and is on the same horizontal plane as the winding rod 216. The snap-fit connection between the rotating rod 205 and the winding rod 216 facilitates disassembly and replacement. The third electric push rod 30 drives the shaping wheel 31 to adapt to different specifications of wire and assist in processing and forming, thereby improving the device's adaptability to processing springs of different specifications and the forming quality.
[0027] During operation, the first electric push rod 108 pulls the slider 107, causing the two sliding sleeves 106 to move in opposite directions simultaneously with the rotation of the rotating plate 109. This drives the wire clamping rollers 104 to slide within the arc grooves 102. Because the four wire clamping rollers 104 are symmetrical in all directions within the two arc grooves 102, different sizes of wires can be matched without manual replacement of parts. The guide nozzle 5, due to the air pump 15 pumping air to push the locking block 7 downwards, can also accommodate different sizes of wires (the third spring 6 resets the locking block 7 and prevents it from falling off). When the wire moves through the guide nozzle 5 between the top head 210 and the winding rod 216 (driven by the first servo motor 203), the wire blocks the air outlet of the top head 210, and the air pump 15... The airflow enters the piston rod 207 in cylinder 206 from the guide wire nozzle 5 via the second exhaust pipe 17. Part of the airflow is released to the outside through the first exhaust pipe 212 on the right side, and part enters the square rod 209 through the guide pipe 213 on the right side, then flows into the left side of the piston rod 207 (because the exhaust port of the top head 210 is blocked by the wire, this part of the airflow pushes the top head 210 out of the square rod 209, jamming the wire). The airflow returning to the left side of the piston rod 207 is then released to the outside through the first exhaust pipe 212 on the left side. At this time, the stop block 214 on the left side blocks the first exhaust pipe 212 on the left side, while the stop block 214 on the right side does not block the first exhaust pipe 212 on the right side (stop block 214). The spacing between the two first air outlet pipes 212 is less than the spacing between the two first air outlet pipes 212. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the second air outlet pipe 17 is greater than the inner diameter of the first air outlet pipe 212 on the right side, and greater than the inner diameter of the first air outlet pipe 212 on the left side (equal to the inner diameter of the two guide pipes 213). Therefore, the pressure on the left side of the piston push rod 207 is greater than the pressure on the right side. The ejector cylinder 204 remains stationary, and the top head 210 fixes the wire and generates a spring as the winding rod 216 rotates and the slide table 202 moves. During spring processing, the third electric push rod 30 pushes the shaping rod 29 and the shaping wheel 31 to adapt to different sizes of wire for winding and forming. After the spring is formed, the second servo motor 18 on the right side drives the third transmission rod 8 on the left side to rotate via the second bevel gear set 9. The third transmission rod 8 on the left drives the eccentric disk 10 to rotate. The eccentric disk 10 drives the cutter 12 to slide through the crank rocker arm 11, cutting off the subsequent wire and the formed spring. Then, the winding table 201 moves to the position where the first air outlet 212 on the right is blocked by the stop block 214 on the right, and the first air outlet 212 on the left is not blocked by the stop block 214 on the left (the air pressure in the square rod 209 decreases as the first air outlet 212 on the left is released, and the top head 210 descends to release the spring under the restoring force of the second spring 211). At this time, the pressure on the right side of the piston push rod 207 in the cylinder 206 is greater than the pressure on the left side. The piston push rod 207 drives the unloading cylinder 204 to push the spring outward to the winding rod 216.As the forming station 2 slides along the slide table 202, the stop block 214 on the right side no longer obstructs the first air outlet pipe 212 on the right side. The piston push rod 207 resets under the elastic force of the first spring 208. The second servo motor 18 on the left side drives the lead screw 215, the slide table 202, and the forming station 2 to repeat the above process, thus continuously generating spring parts. It is practical and smooth, with high processing efficiency and precision. At the material transfer station 4 on the side of the forming station 2, due to the design of the indexing gear 404 and the first transmission belt 406, the formed spring is sent by the ejector cylinder 204 to the material placement platform 21 of the material placement assembly. The material placement platform 21 moves down by the weight of the spring, simultaneously driving two sets of symmetrical L-shaped rods 20 and clamping blocks 22 to limit the spring. After the spring is limited, it moves with the first transmission belt 406 to the two sets of grinding belts. Between points 303, both ends of the spring are ground, completing the spring processing. The spring then leaves the grinding station 3 along with the first transmission belt 406. When it moves to the position of the first pulley 405 on the right, the material placement assembly flips, changing the spring's center of gravity. Under the restoring force of the fourth spring 23, the two sets of L-shaped rods 20 and clamping blocks 22 release the spring, and it falls into the collection box. Because the specifications of the processed spring may change, the spacing between the two sets of grinding belts 303 must be adapted accordingly. The spacing of the grinding belts 303 is adjusted by the second electric push rod 304. The design of the inner spline 24 and outer spline 25 allows the first bevel gear set 306 on the left to slide on the spline shaft 305 while rotating along with the movement of the grinding belt 303, ensuring continuous power, reducing the power source, and making the overall structure simpler, more reasonable, and more practical.
