[0024] In order to better understand the technical content of the present invention, specific embodiments are given and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Various aspects of the present invention are described in this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which many illustrative embodiments are shown. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not necessarily intended to include all aspects of the present invention. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments introduced above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not limited to any embodiment. In addition, some aspects disclosed in the present invention can be used alone or in any appropriate combination with other aspects disclosed in the present invention.

[0026] {Example 1}

[0027] Combine Figure 1-7 As shown, a line position frame with adjustable wire routing angle direction for steel cord production according to an embodiment of the utility model includes a first support leg 110, a second support leg 120, a third support leg 130, a fixed bracket 200, a first rotating bracket 310, a second rotating bracket 320 and an adjustment plate 500.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 2As shown, the bottoms of the first support leg 110, the second support leg 120, and the third support leg 130 are all provided with mounting feet for fixing to the ground. In the figure, the first support leg 110, the second support leg 120, and the third support leg 130 are all designed with a long rod of a fixed length, such as a steel round long rod structure, to achieve stable support for the entire line rack.

[0029] In other embodiments, the first support leg 110, the second support leg 120, and the third support leg 130 can also be designed as an adjustable / retractable structure, which can synchronously adjust its length to adjust the height of the entire wire rack to adapt to the production requirements of steel cords of different specifications / processes.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the first supporting leg 110, the second supporting leg 120, and the third supporting leg 130 may also be designed into other shapes, such as a square tube shape, to stably support the entire wire rack.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the third support leg 130 forms an isosceles triangle with the first support leg 110 and the second support leg 120. The base of the triangle is formed between the first support leg 110 and the second support leg 120. The waist of the triangle is formed between the third support leg 130 and the first support leg 110, and between the third support leg 130 and the second support leg 120.

[0032] In other examples, the third supporting leg 130 and the first supporting leg 110 and the second supporting leg 120 may also form an equilateral triangle relationship, which is also applicable to the wiring rack and its adjustment in the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0033] Combined with attachment Figure 1 、 2 In the example of FIG. 1 , the fixing bracket 200 supported by the first supporting leg 110 and the second supporting leg 120 is provided with a narrow and long wire groove 210 extending along the bottom side. Figure 2 As shown, a first rotating shaft 220 and a second rotating shaft 230 are respectively provided on the upper surfaces of both ends of the fixing bracket 200 .

[0034] The adjustment plate 500 is fixedly mounted to the upper surface of the third supporting leg 130 and supported thereby.

[0035] Combined with attachment Figure 1 、 2 The first rotating bracket 310 is supported by the first supporting leg 110 and the third supporting leg 130 , and its first end is installed above the first supporting leg 110 and forms a rotational fit with the first rotating shaft 220 .

[0036] The second rotating bracket 320 is supported by the second supporting leg 120 and the third supporting leg 130 . A first end of the second rotating bracket 320 is mounted above the second supporting leg 120 and rotates with the second rotating shaft 230 .

[0037] Combined with attachment Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the adjustment plate 500 has a main body 510 . The main body 510 is provided with a first notch 511 penetrating therethrough for cooperating with the first rotating bracket 310 and a second notch 512 penetrating therethrough for cooperating with the second rotating bracket 320 .

[0038] Combined with attachment Figure 1 、 2 As shown in , 6, the second end of the first rotating bracket 310 is provided with a first guide column 311 extending downward, which is inserted into the first slot 511 and can be operated to slide in the first slot 511; the second end of the second rotating bracket 320 is provided with a second guide column 321 extending downward, which is inserted into the second slot 512 and can be operated to slide in the second slot 512.

[0039] At the same time, a plurality of evenly spaced guide wheels 400 are provided above the first rotating bracket 310 and the second rotating bracket 320, so that a channel for the steel wire 1 to pass through is formed between adjacent guide wheels 400, and each passing steel wire 1 only contacts one guide wheel 400, and adjacent guide wheels 400 do not contact each other.

[0040] Combined with the above embodiments and the attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 6, in the electroplating process of steel cord production, from one process to another, due to the differences between old and new equipment, the wire spacing of each process is different, the groove width of each process is different, and the wire spacing of each process is different. For example, taking the pay-off process to the degreasing process as an example, the working groove surface of the previous process is wide, and the working groove surface of the next process is narrow. The design of the pay-off equipment itself has a large spacing between each wire position, and the total width of the arrangement of multiple wire positions (taking a typical 48 as an example) is wide. However, the degreasing groove surface does not need to be very wide, and the spacing between each wire is small and the total width is small. The change from a wide-spacing process to a narrow-spacing process requires adjustment of the routing direction. Through the wire rack with adjustable wire routing angle direction of the above embodiment of the utility model, the wire routing direction can be quickly changed so that the steel wire smoothly enters the narrow-spacing process, and vice versa.

[0041] Therefore, the wire positioning frame with adjustable wire routing angle in the embodiment of the utility model can realize free adjustment of the wire routing angle, adapt to the different wire spacings of new and old equipment, and improve the adaptability of the equipment.

[0042] Combine Figure 1 、 6As shown, for the narrow-pitch process and the wide-pitch process with a line position difference between the previous and subsequent processes, the first supporting leg 110 and the second supporting leg 120 are adjacent to the wide-pitch process side, and the third supporting leg 130 is adjacent to the narrow-pitch process side.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, the first rotating bracket 310 and the second rotating bracket 320 adopt the same design, and the first rotating bracket 310 or the second rotating bracket 320 can rotate independently relative to the fixed bracket 200 .

[0044] As an optional embodiment, the first notch 511 and the second notch 512 adopt the same design and are axially symmetrically distributed, respectively used to limit the rotational motion trajectory and angle range of the first rotating bracket 310 and the second rotating bracket 320 to form a guide during rotational motion.

[0045] As an optional embodiment, the first guide column 311 of the first rotating bracket 310 is configured to be inserted into the first slot 511 and fixed in relative position by tightening it with a first fastener provided at the bottom of the first slot 511; before adjusting the first rotating bracket 310, the first fastener is loosened to allow the first guide column 311 to move freely in the first slot 511.

[0046] As an optional embodiment, the second guide column 321 of the second rotating bracket 320 is configured to be inserted into the second slot 512 and fixed in relative position by tightening it with a second fastener provided at the bottom of the second slot 512; before adjusting the second rotating bracket 320, the first fastener is loosened to allow the second guide column 321 to move freely in the second slot 512.

[0047] As an optional embodiment, the first notch 511 and the second notch 512 are both arc-shaped notches to limit the range of the rotation angle and perform a guiding function, and are more suitable for rotation and sliding than straight notches.

[0048] Combine Figure 2 、 3 As shown, each guide wheel 400 is mounted on the upper surface of the first rotating bracket 310 and the second rotating bracket 320. As an optional embodiment, as Figure 4A 、 4B As shown, the guide wheel 400 is a quick-release guide wheel.

[0049] Figure 5 The exploded structure of the quick release guide wheel is shown as an example. As shown in the figure, the quick release guide wheel includes an inner support column 401, a support shell 402, a first bearing 403, a second bearing 404, an inner guide rod 405, a contact guide wheel 406 and a fastening nut 407.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, the contact guide wheel 406 is preferably made of tungsten steel or ceramic, contacts the wire passing through the line, and can be quickly replaced after being worn.

[0051] Combine Figure 4A 、 4B as well as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the overall cylindrical inner support column 401 is provided with an extended fixed cylinder, which is installed in the hole on the upper surface of the first rotating bracket 310 or the second rotating bracket 320, and is tightened from the side of the first rotating bracket 310 or the second rotating bracket 320 by screws or bolts to achieve fixed installation.

[0052] The inner support column 401 has stepped surfaces at its lower and upper ends. After the first and second bearings 403, 404 are mounted and secured to the inner support column 401, the entire column is sheathed within the cylindrical support housing 402. Specifically, the support housing 402 is sheathed around the outer circumference of the inner support column 401 and positioned at a distance from the upper surfaces of the first and second rotating brackets 310, 320. This ensures that the inner support column 401 maintains a fixed relationship with the first and second rotating brackets 310, 320. Furthermore, the support housing 402, driven by the bearings, can freely rotate relative to the inner support column 401 without contacting the upper surfaces of the first and second rotating brackets 310, 320.

[0053] As shown in the figure, based on the design of the stepped surface at the lower end of the inner support column 401, the lower end of the support shell 402 only covers a part of the inner support column 401, leaving a certain length uncovered, so that the support shell 402 is relatively suspended on the upper surface of the first rotating bracket 310 and the second rotating bracket 320 without contacting them.

[0054] As an optional embodiment, the upper end of the supporting shell 402 is a closed end, and both ends of the inner guide rod 405 are respectively provided with threads, and the threads at the bottom end are tightened to the upper end of the supporting shell 402, so that the two form an integral connection.

[0055] After the inner guide rod 405 passes through the long axis hole in the longitudinal axis direction of the contact guide wheel 406 from its top and extends out, the contact guide wheel 406 is pressed to the upper end surface of the support shell 402 by fastening the nut 407 and cooperating with the thread on the top of the inner guide rod 405, forming an integral connection, so that the contact guide wheel 406 and the support shell 402 can rotate synchronously, and the movement of the contact guide wheel 406 along its longitudinal axis direction is limited by fastening the nut 407.

[0056] {Example 2}

[0057] Combined with attachment Figure 1-7As shown, in combination with the wire positioning frame capable of adjusting the wire routing angle direction in the above embodiment, a method for adjusting the wire routing angle of a steel cord is proposed according to this example, and the adjustment process includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 1: Install the wire positioning frame with adjustable wire routing angle between the processes in the electroplating process where the routing angle needs to be changed. For the narrow-pitch process and the wide-pitch process where there is a difference in wire position between the previous and subsequent processes, install the first support leg 110 and the second support leg 120 on the side adjacent to the wide-pitch process, and install the third support leg 130 on the side adjacent to the narrow-pitch process.

[0059] Step 2: For a process in which the steel wire routing changes from a wide spacing process to a narrow spacing process, or vice versa, the angle between the first rotating bracket 310 and / or the second rotating bracket 320 and the fixed bracket 200 is adjusted to adjust the wire passing angle;

[0060] During the adjustment process, the fasteners at the bottom of the adjustment plate 500 are first loosened, so that the first rotating bracket 310 and / or the second rotating bracket 320 are in a state where they can move freely within the angular range defined by the corresponding first notch 511 and the second notch 512. Then, the first rotating bracket 310 and / or the second rotating bracket 320 are rotated respectively around the first rotating axis 220 or the second rotating axis 230 to change their angles relative to the fixed bracket 200, so that the steel wire 2 can smoothly enter the next process.

[0061] After the adjustment is completed, the first rotating bracket 310 and / or the second rotating bracket 320 that have moved are tightened by the fasteners at the bottom of the adjustment plate 500 to fix their relative positions.

[0062] While the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
