[0029] Refer to Figure 1, a flexible flat cable welding machine, comprising: a conveying mechanism 500, a welding mechanism 700, a first wire arranging mechanism 100 and a second wire arranging mechanism 200. The conveying mechanism 500 includes a feeding member 550 which can move closer to or away from the welding mechanism 700; the first wire arranging mechanism 100 is docked with the conveying mechanism 500 and can arrange a plurality of wires, and the first wire arranging mechanism 100 can convey the arranged wires to the feeding member 550; the second wire arranging mechanism 200 is located between the first wire arranging mechanism 100 and the welding mechanism 700, and the feeding member 550 can move to the position of the second wire arranging mechanism 200, and the second wire arranging mechanism 200 is used for arranging the wires and conveying them to the feeding member 550; wherein, the wires conveyed by the first wire arranging mechanism 100 to the feeding member 550 are staggered with the wires conveyed by the second wire arranging mechanism 200 to the feeding member 550; the welding mechanism 700 can perform welding operations on the staggered wires. After the first wire arranging mechanism 100 conveys the first group of wires to the feeding member 550, the feeding member 550 will drive the first group of wires to move away from the first wire arranging mechanism 100. Then, the feeding member 550 will move to the second wire arranging mechanism 200, and the second wire arranging mechanism 200 will convey the second group of wires to the feeding member 550. At this time, the first group of wires and the second group of wires will be in a staggered state. Then, the feeding member 550 can drive the first group of wires and the second group of wires to move to the welding mechanism 700, and the welding mechanism 700 will weld and form the first group of wires and the second group of wires. By respectively performing wire arranging operations through the first wire arranging mechanism 100 and the second wire arranging mechanism 200, and using the welding mechanism 700 to weld between the groups of wires after wire arranging, the effect of welding and forming an iron net can be achieved quickly and effectively. Moreover, since each group of wires is respectively arranged by the first wire arranging mechanism 100 and the second wire arranging mechanism 200, the position relationship between each wire can also be maintained more accurately, thereby ensuring that the formed iron net is more stable and reliable.

[0030] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2, the conveying mechanism 500 includes a conveying track 510 and a driving device 530. The feeding member 550 is movably installed on the conveying track 510, and the welding mechanism 700 is arranged at the end of the conveying track 510. The driving device 530 is connected to the feeding member 550 and can drive it to reciprocate along the conveying track 510. After the driving device 530 is started, it will drive the feeding member 550 to reciprocate along the conveying track 510. During the movement of the feeding member 550, the feeding member 550 can sequentially go to the first wire arranging mechanism 100 and the second wire arranging mechanism 200, so that two groups of wires can be smoothly conveyed to the feeding member 550. Subsequently, the feeding member 550 can move to the end of the conveying track 510, so as to achieve the effect of conveying the wires to the welding mechanism 700 for welding. The conveying track 510 can not only effectively plan the movement path of the feeding member 550, but also relatively position the first wire arranging mechanism 100, the second wire arranging mechanism 200 and the welding mechanism 700, so as to ensure that the overall operation process can proceed smoothly.

[0031] Specifically, the feeding member 550 includes a frame body, and grooves for fixing wires are arranged on the edge of the frame body. The frame body is slidably installed on the conveying track 510 and connected to the driving device 530.

[0032] Further, the driving device 530 is a cylinder. Of course, the driving device 530 can also be composed of other components. For example, a motor drives the feeding member 550 through a screw. The specific implementation method is not unique, but can be configured according to the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , one of the first wire arranging mechanism 100 and the second wire arranging mechanism 200 is arranged on the side of the conveying track 510, and the other of the first wire arranging mechanism 100 and the second wire arranging mechanism 200 is installed above the conveying track 510. The arrangement of the side and above of the conveying track 510 can not only effectively reduce the maximum occupied length of the overall first wire arranging mechanism 100, the second wire arranging mechanism 200 and the conveying track 510, but also the arrangements in different orientations make the orientations of the first wire arranging mechanism 100 and the second wire arranging mechanism 200 relative to the conveying track 510 directly different, so as to facilitate the two groups of wires to be conveyed to the feeding member 550 along different orientations.

[0034] Specifically, the first wire arranging mechanism 100 is located on the side of the conveying track 510, and the second wire arranging mechanism 200 is located above the conveying track 510.

[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3The first wire arrangement mechanism 100 includes a machine 110 and a handling fixture 150. The machine 110 is provided with a wire arrangement assembly 300, which is used to arrange the wires on the machine 110; the handling fixture 150 reciprocates between the machine 110 and the conveying track 510 and can clamp the arranged wires. After the wire arrangement assembly 300 arranges the wires on the machine 110, the handling fixture 150 can carry the arranged wires as a whole. Since the wire arrangement operation of the wire arrangement assembly 300 can be performed when the feeding member 550 moves to other positions, the total time required to transport multiple wires to the feeding member 550 can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively achieving the effect of improving the working efficiency.

[0036] Specifically, a linear drive 170 is disposed on the platform 110 , and the linear drive 170 is connected to the transport fixture 150 and can drive the transport fixture 150 to reciprocate between the platform 110 and the transport track 510 .

[0037] Furthermore, a wire rack 130 is provided on the machine 110, and a plurality of grooves for clamping wires are arranged in a row on the wire rack 130. The conveying assembly conveys the wires one by one to the wire rack 130, and the wires are installed in the grooves one by one. The linear drive 170 can drive the wires to move to the wire rack 130.

[0038] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 3 , a material unloading fixture 900 is also provided on the linear drive 170. When the welding operation is completed, the feeder 550 will drive the welded iron mesh to move away from the welding mechanism 700, and drive the feeder 550 to move back to the corresponding linear drive 170. At this time, the material unloading fixture 900 can move close to the feeder 550 and take away the welded iron mesh on the feeder 550, and the handling fixture 150 can also synchronously clamp the wire on the wire rack 130 and transport it to the feeder 550, so that the wire transportation operation can be carried out quickly and efficiently.

[0039] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cable assembly 300 includes a silo 400 and a rotating shaft 310. The silo 400 has an opening 410, and the rotating shaft 310 is rotatably mounted at the opening 410. A cable sleeve 350 is disposed on the rotating shaft 310. The outer periphery of the cable sleeve 350 is provided with a groove for loading wires. The cable sleeve 350 can drive the wires to move out of the silo 400 through the groove. The wires can be stacked in the silo 400 for easy access. When the rotating shaft 310 drives the cable sleeve 350 to rotate, the cable sleeve 350 will drive the wires to move through the groove and leave the silo 400, so that the handling fixture 150 can smoothly access the wires.

[0040] Specifically, a driving motor 370 is connected to the rotating shaft 310. By controlling the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 310, the interval time for the wire arranging sleeve 350 to drive the wire movement can be directly and effectively controlled, so that the arranging effect of the wire can be controlled.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the opening 410 is located at the bottom of the material bin 400. A supporting member 450 inclined towards the opening 410 is arranged in the material bin 400, and the supporting member 450 is used for supporting the wire. Since the supporting member 450 is inclined towards the opening 410, the wire stacked in the material bin 400 will automatically move towards the opening 410 under the action of its own weight, so that the wire arranging sleeve 350 located at the opening 410 can smoothly perform the wire arranging operation on the wire.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the second wire arranging mechanism 200 includes a material bin 400 and a plurality of wire arranging components 300. The wire arranging components 300 can convey the wire to the feeding member 550; at least two wire arranging components 300 can convey different wires to the feeding member 550. A plurality of material bins 400 and a plurality of wire arranging components 300 can convey different wires with the same orientation to the feeding member 550. Therefore, the wire conveyed by the first wire arranging mechanism 100 can be cooperatively welded with wires of different lengths and different thicknesses, so as to form a diversified iron net structure.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , there are a plurality of material bins 400 which correspond to the wire arranging components 300 one by one. Each material bin 400 is distributed in parallel, and the wires conveyed by each second wire arranging mechanism 200 are parallel to each other. The corresponding parallel distribution effect of the material bin 400 and the wire arranging component 300 enables the wires in each material bin 400 to be conveyed to the feeding member 550 in parallel, thereby ensuring that the wire conveyed by the first wire arranging mechanism 100 can be accurately welded with it and avoiding the problem of disorder.

[0044] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the welding mechanism 700 includes a welding position 705, a driving cylinder 710 and a welding joint 750. The driving cylinder 710 is connected to the welding joint 750 and can drive it to move closer to or away from the welding position 705; the feeding member 550 can drive the wire to move to the welding position 705. When the feeding member 550 conveys the wire to the welding position 705, the driving cylinder 710 can drive the welding joint 750 to move closer to the welding position 705, so that the welding joint 750 can perform the welding operation on the wire at the welding position 705, and thus directly and effectively achieve the purpose of iron net forming.

[0045] Specifically, the welding joint 750 is located above the welding position 705. A support cylinder 730 and a support member 740 are arranged below the welding position 705. The support cylinder 730 is connected to the support member 740 and can drive it to move closer to or away from the welding position 705.

[0046] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , positioning members 780 and positioning cylinders 790 are arranged on both sides of the welding position 705. The positioning cylinders 790 are connected to the positioning members 780 and can drive them to move closer to or away from the welding position 705. When the wire feeding member 550 conveys the wire to the wire feeding position, the positioning cylinder 790 can drive the positioning member 780 to move closer to the wire feeding member 550 and fix the wire feeding member 550, so that a direct and effective positioning effect can be obtained between the wire and the welding joint 750, and further ensure that the welding operation can be carried out accurately.

[0047] Specifically, the positioning members 780 are located on the left and right sides of the welding position 705.

[0048] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art in the said technical field, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
