Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a wire knot detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, during the production and manufacture of a wire, a knot is easily generated. The size of the wire knot is larger than the diameter of the wire, which can cause problems such as blockage during the conveying of the wire. For example, the wire knot can block a wire through hole, causing the wire to fail to pass through the wire through hole smoothly, which can cause production failure. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to solve at least one of the above problems and defects in the prior art.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present application, a wire knot detection device is provided. The wire knot detection device includes a rotating wheel, a swing arm including a pressing portion adapted to press a wire being conveyed against the rotating wheel, and a sensor for detecting the position of the swing arm. When a knot on the wire being conveyed passes between the rotating wheel and the pressing portion of the swing arm, the swing arm swings back and forth once between a first position and a second position, so that it can be determined whether the wire being conveyed has a knot based on the position detected by the sensor.

[0005] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present application, the wire knot detection device further includes a determination device for determining whether the wire being conveyed has a knot based on the position detected by the sensor.

[0006] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the wire being conveyed has no knot, the swing arm is always in the first position during the conveying of the wire; when the sensor does not detect that the swing arm is swung to the second position during the conveying of the wire, the determination device determines that the wire being conveyed has no knot.

[0007] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the wire being conveyed has a knot, the swing arm is first swung from the first position to the second position and then from the second position to the first position under the action of the knot; when the sensor detects that the swing arm is swung to the second position during the conveying of the wire, the determination device determines that the wire being conveyed has a knot.

[0008] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the sensor is a trigger switch and the swing arm has a trigger portion for triggering the trigger switch; when the swing arm is in the first position, the trigger portion is in a non-trigger position which does not trigger the trigger switch; when the swing arm is in the second position, the trigger portion is in a trigger position which triggers the trigger switch.

[0009] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the trigger switch is triggered during the feeding of the wire, the judging device judges that there is a kink on the wire being fed; when the trigger switch is not triggered during the feeding of the wire, the judging device judges that there is no kink on the wire being fed.

[0010] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the sensor is a photoelectric switch which includes a light emitter and a light receiver opposite to the light emitter; when the light receiver receives the light emitted by the light emitter, the photoelectric switch is triggered.

[0011] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the swing arm is in the first position, the light emitted by the light emitter is blocked by the trigger portion so that the light receiver cannot receive the light emitted by the light emitter; when the swing arm is in the second position, the light emitted by the light emitter is not blocked by the trigger portion so that the light receiver can receive the light emitted by the light emitter.

[0012] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the sensor is a photoelectric switch which includes a light emitter and a light receiver opposite to the light emitter; when the light receiver does not receive the light emitted by the light emitter, the photoelectric switch is triggered.

[0013] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the swing arm is in the first position, the light emitted by the light emitter is not blocked by the trigger portion so that the light receiver can receive the light emitted by the light emitter; when the swing arm is in the second position, the light emitted by the light emitter is blocked by the trigger portion so that the light receiver cannot receive the light emitted by the light emitter.

[0014] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the sensor is a contact switch; when the swing arm is in the first position, the trigger portion is separated from the contact switch; when the swing arm is in the second position, the trigger portion presses the contact switch to trigger the contact switch.

[0015] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the swing arm is positioned above the rotating wheel, and is adapted to press the wire to be conveyed on the rotating wheel by its own weight.

[0016] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the wire knot detection device further includes a mounting plate for mounting the rotating wheel, the swing arm, and the sensor. The rotating wheel is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate so as to be rotatable about a first axis perpendicular to the mounting plate. The swing arm is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate so as to be swingable about a second axis perpendicular to the mounting plate. The sensor is fixed to the mounting plate.

[0017] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the swing arm further includes a first arm rotatably mounted to the mounting plate via a rotating shaft, and a second arm fixed to one end of the first arm and extending in a direction inclined to the extending direction of the first arm. The trigger portion is formed on the other end of the first arm, and the pressing portion is fixed to the lower side of the second arm or integrally formed with the second arm.

[0018] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the pressing portion has a smooth contact surface for contact with the wire, so as to reduce the friction between the pressing portion and the wire and prevent the wire from being abraded by the pressing portion.

[0019] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the wire knot detection device further includes a first limit post fixed to the mounting plate for limiting the swing arm at a first limit position, and a second limit post fixed to the mounting plate for limiting the swing arm at a second limit position. When the swing arm swings between the first position and the second position, the swing arm does not exceed the first limit position and the second limit position.

[0020] In the foregoing exemplary embodiments according to the present application, the wire knot detection device can timely check the knot on the wire to be conveyed, thereby effectively preventing the clogging problem caused by the wire knot.

The wire nodule detection device according to claim 14, characterized in that: The pressing part (20) has a smooth contact surface for contacting the wire (6) to reduce the friction between the pressing part (20) and the wire (6) and to prevent the wire (6) from being worn by the pressing part (20).

16. The wire nodule detection device according to claim 14, characterized in that, Also includes: The first limiting post (51) is fixed to the mounting plate (4) to limit the swing arm (2) to the first extreme position; and The second limiting post (52) is fixed to the mounting plate (4) to limit the swing arm (2) to the second extreme position. When the swing arm (2) swings between the first position and the second position, the swing arm (2) does not exceed the first limit position and the second limit position.
