[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0039] It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings. In addition, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the indicated orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or is the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the application is usually placed when in use, or is the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The terms "disposed", "opened", "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, and an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements.

[0041] See also Figure 1A wire device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a mounting base 10, on which a wire assembly 11 and a motor 12 are arranged. The motor 12 is used to drive the wire assembly 11 to reciprocate along a first direction, and the motor 12 is connected to a PLC controller 13.

[0042] Exemplarily, the mounting base 10 is used to be mounted on the frame of the wire take-up machine, and the first direction is a direction parallel to the axis of the wire take-up drum. The PLC controller 13 is used to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 12, and the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 12 drives the wire assembly 11 to reciprocate along the first direction, and then the wire assembly 11 is used to control the moving trajectory of the welding wire, so as to achieve uniform and tight winding of the welding wire on the wire take-up drum. For example, see Figure 1 The forward rotation of the motor 12 causes the wire assembly 11 to move to the right, so that the welding wire is wound on the take-up drum from left to right. The reverse rotation of the motor 12 causes the wire assembly 11 to move to the left, so that the welding wire is wound on the take-up drum from right to left.

[0043] In the prior art, operators often control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 12 by setting the turning time of the motor 12 in the PLC controller 13, thereby controlling the wire assembly 11 to reciprocate along the first direction. However, since the turning time set in the PLC controller 13 is fixed, during the production process, if the take-up drum is deformed or uneven, the operator cannot adjust the turning time, which may cause uneven winding of the welding wire and affect the product quality. Therefore, the existing method of controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor by setting the turning time in the PLC controller 13 is difficult to adapt to the deformation or unevenness of the take-up drum that may occur during the production process.

[0044] To solve the above problems, see Figure 1 A conductor device provided in an embodiment of the present application, a driving mechanism 14 and two travel switches 15 are also provided on the mounting seat 10, the two travel switches 15 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the conductor assembly 11 along the first direction and cooperate with the conductor assembly 11, the driving mechanism 14 is used to drive the two travel switches 15 to reciprocate synchronously along the first direction; the two travel switches 15 are connected to the PLC controller 13.

[0045] For example, see Figure 1 , one travel switch 15 is located on the left side of the wire assembly 11, and the other travel switch 15 is located on the right side of the wire assembly 11. The travel switch 15 may include a mechanical travel switch or a photoelectric travel switch. The mechanical travel switch detects whether the wire assembly 11 reaches a specific position through a mechanical lever or a spring, and the photoelectric travel switch detects whether the wire assembly 11 reaches a specific position through a light beam.

[0046] When working, start the motor 12, the motor 12 rotates forward to move the conductor assembly 11 to the right, when the conductor assembly 11 triggers the right travel switch 15, the right travel switch 15 sends a reverse signal to the PLC controller 13, the PLC controller 13 controls the motor 12 to reverse, the motor 12 reverses to move the conductor assembly 11 to the left, when the conductor assembly 11 triggers the left travel switch 15, the left travel switch 15 sends a forward signal to the PLC controller 13, the PLC controller 13 controls the motor 12 to rotate forward, the motor 12 rotates forward to move the conductor assembly 11 to the right; thus, the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 12 can be controlled. In the production process, if the take-up drum is deformed or uneven, the operator can control the drive mechanism 14 to synchronously drive the two travel switches 15 to reciprocate along the first direction, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance of the reciprocating movement of the conductor assembly 11 along the first direction, so that the welding wire is evenly wound on the take-up drum to ensure product quality.

[0047] Therefore, the wire device provided in the embodiment of the present application utilizes two travel switches 15 to respectively control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 12, so that the wire assembly 11 reciprocates along the first direction; and utilizes the driving mechanism 14 to control the two travel switches 15 to synchronously reciprocate along the first direction. The position of the travel switch 15 can be flexibly adjusted during the production process, and then the reciprocating distance of the wire assembly 11 along the first direction can be adjusted, so that the welding wire is evenly wound on the wire reel, thereby ensuring product quality, and solving the problem of uneven winding of the welding wire caused by deformation or unevenness of the wire reel in the existing wire device.

[0048] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 14 may include a guide rod and a screw rod arranged in parallel, the two ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the mounting seat 10, the two ends of the screw rod are rotatably connected to the mounting seat 10, one end of the screw rod forms an operating portion, and the travel switch 15 is slidably connected to the guide rod and threadedly connected to the screw rod. When in use, the operator holds the operating portion to drive the screw rod to rotate, and the screw rod drives the travel switch 15 to move along the guide rod; through the forward and reverse rotation of the screw rod, the travel switch 15 can be reciprocated along the first direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The driving mechanism 14 includes two first screw rods 141 arranged in parallel, both ends of the first screw rod 141 are rotatably connected to the mounting seat 10 respectively, and the travel switch 15 is threadedly connected to the two first screw rods 141.

[0050] Exemplarily, the mounting base 10 may include two mounting plates 101 spaced apart along the first direction. Figure 1, two mounting plates 101 are arranged at intervals on the left and right, and each mounting plate 101 is used to be fixed on the frame of the wire take-up machine by fasteners such as bolts. The axial direction of the first screw rod 141 is parallel to the first direction, and the two ends of the first screw rod 141 are respectively connected to the two mounting plates 101 for rotation. The right end of the first screw rod 141 is connected to a handle 142, and the handle 142 can be a cylindrical structure. The two travel switches 15 are respectively connected to the two movable seats, each of which has two parallel internal threaded holes, and the two first screw rods 141 are respectively threadedly connected to the two internal threaded holes of the movable seat. When in use, the operator holds the two handles 142 to drive the two first screw rods 141 to rotate, and the two first screw rods 141 drive the two movable seats and the travel switches 15 thereon to move synchronously along the axial direction of the first screw rod 141. Through the forward and reverse rotation of the first screw rod 141, the travel switch 15 can be reciprocated along the first direction. By providing two first screw rods 141 , an operator can hold the two first screw rods 141 with both hands to operate, so as to increase the driving force.

[0051] In other embodiments, the mounting base 10 may also be other frame structures, and the handle 142 may also be other structures such as a prismatic structure, a plum blossom structure, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 A compression spring 143 sleeved on the first screw rod 141 is provided between the handle 142 and the mounting base 10. The compression spring 143 is provided to store elastic potential energy to resist the rotation of the first screw rod 141 due to vibration, thereby avoiding the change of the position of the travel switch 15 caused by the rotation of the first screw rod 141 without adjusting the position of the travel switch 15, thereby improving the reliability of the entire device.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 A parallel guide rail 16 and a second screw 17 are connected between the two mounting plates 101. The wire assembly 11 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 16 and is threadedly connected to the second screw 17. The motor 12 is connected to the second screw 17 and is used to drive the second screw 17 to rotate.

[0054] Exemplarily, the axial direction of the guide rail 16 is parallel to the first direction, and the two ends of the guide rail 16 are respectively connected to the two mounting plates 101, and the two ends of the second screw rod 17 are respectively rotatably connected to the two mounting plates 101, so that the second screw rod 17 rotates around its own axis. The motor 12 is mounted on the mounting plate 101 on the left side and is connected to the second screw rod 17 in a transmission manner to drive the second screw rod 17 to rotate. The motor 12 and the second screw rod 17 can be connected by gear transmission, chain transmission or direct transmission. The wire assembly 11 may include a wire seat and at least one wire wheel mounted on the wire seat and used to guide the welding wire. The wire seat is slidably mounted on the guide rail 16 and is threadedly connected to the second screw rod 17. During operation, the motor 12 drives the second screw rod 17 to rotate, and the second screw rod 17 then drives the wire seat to slide on the guide rail 16, thereby realizing the movement of the wire assembly 11 along the first direction.

[0055] The guide rail 16 may be one or two guide rails 16 arranged in parallel. By providing two guide rails 16, the stability and reliability of the guide rails 16 for guiding the wire assembly 11 can be improved.

[0056] See also Figure 3 A wire taking-up machine provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a frame 20 and the conductor device of the above embodiment, and a mounting seat 10 is connected to the frame 20.

[0057] When the wire take-up machine provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to wind the welding wire onto the wire take-up drum, the two travel switches 15 are used to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 12 respectively, so that the wire assembly 11 moves back and forth along the first direction; the driving mechanism 14 is used to control the two travel switches 15 to move back and forth synchronously along the first direction. The position of the travel switch 15 can be flexibly adjusted according to the deformation or unevenness of the wire take-up drum during the production process, so that the welding wire is evenly wound onto the wire take-up drum, thereby ensuring product quality.

[0058] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present application.
