[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 , shows a schematic structural diagram of a metal wire feeding mechanism in an embodiment of the utility model, which includes an upper material incoming component 100, a middle material unloading component 200, and a lower material unloading component 300; the upper material incoming component 100 has a material unloading position B2; the middle material unloading component 200 includes an inclined middle bracket 210, a horizontal fixed beam 220 fixed to the middle bracket 210, and a limiting inclined rib 230 fixed to the horizontal fixed beam 220, the middle bracket 210 has a sliding slope 211, the upper end of the sliding slope 211 is connected to the material unloading position B2, and a space is provided between the sliding slope 211 and the limiting inclined rib 230 to allow a single metal wire 10 to slide down Gap; the lower layer discharge assembly 300 is arranged at the lower end of the lower sliding slope 211, and the lower layer discharge assembly 300 includes a lower layer bracket 310, a lower layer arc guide rib 311 fixed to the lower layer bracket 310, a lower layer discharge shaft 320 rotatably connected to the lower layer bracket 310, a lower layer discharge driving device 330 connected to the lower layer discharge shaft 320, and a lower layer swing rib 340 fixed to the lower layer discharge shaft 320, and the lower layer swing rib 340 and the lower layer arc guide rib 311 have an open state and a closed state. The lower layer discharge driving device 330 drives the lower layer discharge shaft 320 to rotate, and drives the lower layer swing rib 340 to rotate to switch between the open state and the closed state.

[0031] The above-mentioned metal wire feeding mechanism is provided with an upper material incoming component 100, a middle material unloading component 200, and a lower material discharging component 300. The metal wire 10 is transported from the upper material incoming component 100 to the lower material discharging component 300 through the middle material unloading component 200, so that the metal wire after the upper layer processing can be automatically fed to the lower layer tray for making the metal grid, saving labor costs, time and effort.

[0032] See also Figure 3 During operation, the metal wire 10 will freely fall from the unloading position B2 of the upper material incoming component 100 to the gap between the sliding slope 211 and the limiting inclined rib 230. Because the gap allows a single metal wire 10 to slide down, the metal wires 10 will be arranged one by one on the sliding slope 211, sliding from the upper end to the lower end, until sliding to the lower material unloading component 300 at the lower end, and the lower material unloading drive device 330 drives the lower material unloading shaft 320 to rotate, driving the lower swing rib 340 to rotate, so as to switch the lower swing rib 340 and the lower circular arc guide rib 311 between the open state and the closed state. When the lower swing rib 340 and the lower circular arc guide rib 311 are opened, the lowest metal wire will fall into the tray 30.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the upper material incoming component 100 includes an upper bracket 110, an upper guide rail 120 fixed to the upper bracket 110, and an upper material diverting module 130, the upper material diverting module 130 includes an upper material diverting fixing portion 131 fixed to the upper bracket 110, an upper material diverting shaft 132 installed on the upper material diverting fixing portion 131, an upper material diverting driving device 133 connected to the upper material diverting shaft 132, and an upper material diverting driving device 133 installed on the upper material diverting shaft 13 2, the upper material tapping disc assembly 134 is provided with a plurality of material tapping recesses 1341 on its outer circumference, the upper material tapping driving device 133 drives the upper material tapping rotating shaft 132 to drive the upper material tapping disc assembly 134 to rotate, when the material tapping recess 1341 rotates to the material receiving position B1, the material tapping recess 1341 is connected with the upper guide rail 120, and the single metal wire 10 enters the material tapping recess 1341 from the upper guide rail 120 and rotates to the material unloading position B2.

[0034] It should be noted that when the material-digging recess 1341 rotates to the material receiving position B1, the material-digging recess 1341 is connected to the upper guide rail 120, and a single metal wire 10 enters the material-digging recess 1341 from the upper guide rail 120, rotates to the material-discharging position B2, and the metal wire 10 falls along a preset route. Since each material-digging recess 1341 can only enter one metal wire 10 at a time, multiple metal wires 10 in the upper guide rail 120 can be peeled off one by one, and moved from the material receiving position B1 to the material-discharging position B2, and fall into the preset area. The above-mentioned metal wire discharge mechanism can realize that the metal wire 10 falls into the set discharge channel by itself, and discharges automatically, saving time and effort, and saving labor costs.

[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the connection between the upper end of the downward sliding slope 211 and the unloading position B2 includes fixing a guide blocking strip 231 on the limiting inclined rib 230 to guide the metal wire 10 to slide from the unloading position B2 to the gap between the downward sliding slope 211 and the limiting inclined rib 230. In this way, the metal wire 10 can be prevented from falling within the restricted range and falling out, and can slide relatively smoothly from the unloading position B2 to between the downward sliding slope 211 and the limiting inclined rib 230.

[0036] As an example, in one embodiment, the upper material-moving fixing portion 131 is connected to the upper material-moving rotating shaft 132 via a material-moving bearing 1311 .

[0037] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the upper material dialing disk assembly 134 includes two upper main material dialing disks 1342 and an upper adjusting disk 1343 clamped between the two upper main material dialing disks 1342. The two upper main material dialing disks 1342 and the upper adjusting disk 1343 are coaxially fixed, and the outer circumference of each disk is provided with a material dialing recess 1341. The upper adjusting disk 1343 is rotated to change the relative position of the upper adjusting disk 1343 and the two upper main material dialing disks 1342, so that the material dialing recess 1341 of the upper adjusting disk 1343 is misaligned with the material dialing recess 1341 on the two upper main material dialing disks 1342 to adjust the maximum size that can enter the material dialing recess 1341.

[0038] It should be noted that when processing metal wires 10 of different specifications, the upper adjustment disk 1343 can be rotated according to the diameter of the metal wire 10 to adjust the relative position of the upper adjustment disk 1343 and the two upper main material dialing disks 1342 to adapt to metal wires 10 of different diameters and ensure that the size of the material dialing recess 1341 can only allow one metal wire 10 to enter. As an example, when the size of the metal wire 10 is large, the material dialing recesses 1341 of the three disks can be completely aligned. When the size of the metal wire 10 is large, the upper adjustment disk 1343 and the material dialing recesses 1341 of the two upper main material dials 1342 can be staggered. The arrangement can be made as needed, which can greatly improve the flexibility of the device and expand the scope of use.

[0039] In one embodiment, the two upper main material shifting disks 1342 and the upper adjusting disk 1343 clamped between the two upper main material shifting disks 1342 are locked in relative position by upper connecting bolts 1344 .

[0040] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the horizontal fixed beam 220 is connected to the limiting inclined rib 230 through an adjusting bolt 221 to adjust the gap size between the limiting inclined rib 230 and the downward sliding slope 211.

[0041] It should be noted that during use, the bolt 221 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the metal wire 10, thereby adjusting the gap size between the limiting inclined rib 230 and the downward sliding slope 211, so as to always keep the gap tight enough to allow one metal wire 10 to enter. Preferably, in one embodiment, two limiting inclined ribs 230 are provided.

[0042] Preferably, in one embodiment, a plurality of horizontal fixed beams 220 are provided and are evenly distributed at equal intervals from the upper end to the lower end of the middle bracket 210 .

[0043] In one embodiment, a roller 20 is disposed below the lower discharge assembly 300 , and the roller 20 carries and transports the pallet 30 . When the lower swing ribs 340 and the lower arc guide ribs 311 are in an open state, the pallet 30 is loaded with the falling metal wire 10 .
