Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wire forming machines, in particular to a wire feeding mechanism of a wire forming machine. Background Art
[0002] In today's industrial production environment, wire forming machines are essential processing equipment, widely used in the wire processing of various materials, including metals and plastics. However, traditional wire feeding mechanisms often suffer from a significant problem during long-term operation: the lack of a mechanism to effectively clean the wire surface. This defect not only affects the final quality of the wire forming but can also cause a series of production problems.
[0003] Specifically, since raw wires are inevitably exposed to various impurities such as dust, oil, oxides, etc. during production, transportation and storage, if these impurities are not removed in time during the wire feeding process, they will gradually accumulate and adhere to the wire feed rollers as the wires are transported. As time goes by, the accumulation of impurities on the wire feed rollers will become more serious, which not only increases the friction resistance of wire feeding and leads to increased energy consumption, but may also cause wear on the wire feed rollers and shorten their service life. More seriously, these impurities may also be embedded in the product as the wire is further processed, directly affecting the appearance and performance of the product and causing a decline in product quality.
[0004] In addition, when there are too many impurities adhering to the wire feeding roller, it may interfere with the normal operation of the wire feeding mechanism, such as causing poor wire feeding, jamming or even shutdown, thereby affecting the efficiency and stability of the entire production line.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new wire feeding mechanism for a wire forming machine to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

This not only facilitates the smooth progress of subsequent processing steps, but also enhances the appearance and performance of the final product.
[0016] Extended wire feed roller service life: Due to the synergistic effect of the cleaning roller and the cleaning column, impurities on the surface of the wire are not easily adhered to the wire feed roller, reducing wear and contamination of the wire feed roller, thereby extending its service life; this not only reduces the frequency and cost of replacing the wire feed roller, but also reduces downtime caused by wire feed roller damage, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the production line;

[0024] See also Figure 1-3 The top of the two cleaning columns 8 are fixedly connected to the base 1, and the outer wall of the cleaning column 8 is provided with a cleaning cloth 9. The top of the two cleaning columns 8 are fixedly connected to the base 1, and the outer wall of the cleaning column 8 is provided with a cleaning cloth 9. The top of the two cleaning columns 8 are fixedly connected to the base 1, and the outer wall of the cleaning column 8 is provided with a cleaning cloth 9. The top of the two cleaning columns 8 are fixedly connected to a worm gear 10. The base 1 and one side of the U-shaped frame 5 are fixedly connected to the motor. The output ends of the two motors are fixedly connected to the corresponding wire feeding roller 3 and the cleaning roller 6 respectively. The outer walls of the two cleaning rollers 6 are provided with wire brush bristles. The two cleaning rollers 6 are in opposite directions to the two wire feeding rollers 3. The cleaning cloth 9 is elastically designed, and its inner wall is provided with anti-slip rubber.
[0025] See also Figure 2-3A slide groove 11 is provided at the top of the base 1, and the U-shaped frame 5 is slidably connected to the slide groove 11. The inner wall of the slide groove 11 is rotatably connected to the reciprocating screw rod 12. The U-shaped frame 5 is installed in conjunction with the reciprocating screw rod 12. One end of the reciprocating screw rod 12 extends out of the slide groove 11 and is fixedly connected to a driven pulley 13. One side of one of the wire feeding gears 4 is fixedly connected to a driving pulley 14, and the driving pulley 14 and the driven pulley 13 are connected by a belt drive.
[0026] See also Figure 2-3 The outer wall of the cleaning column 8 is provided with an air bag 15, and the cleaning cloth 9 is provided on the outer wall of the air bag 15. The two cleaning cloths 9 are frictionally connected with the wire. A worm 16 is rotatably connected between the brackets 2. The two worm wheels 10 are meshed with the worm 16. The outer wall of one of the wire feeding rollers 3 is fixedly connected with a driving bevel gear 17, and one end of the worm 16 is fixedly connected with a driven bevel gear 18. The driving bevel gear 17 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 18, and an avoidance groove is provided at one end of the wire feeding roller 3 below the driving bevel gear 17.
[0027] The working principle of the wire feeding mechanism of the wire forming machine provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0028] Wire conveying:
[0029] When the motor is started, its output end directly drives the wire feeding roller 3 to rotate; since one end of the two wire feeding rollers 3 is fixedly connected to the wire feeding gear 4, and the two wire feeding gears 4 are meshed with each other, the two wire feeding rollers 3 will rotate synchronously in opposite directions;
[0030] The wire is placed between two wire feeding rollers 3. As the wire feeding rollers 3 rotate, the wire is stably conveyed forward to the next process.
[0031] Surface cleaning:
[0032] The rotation of the cleaning roller 6 is driven by another motor. Its working principle is similar to that of the wire feeding roller 3, but its rotation direction may be opposite to that of the wire feeding roller 3 to increase the cleaning effect on the surface of the wire. One end of the two cleaning rollers 6 is fixedly connected to a transmission gear 7. The engagement of the transmission gear 7 ensures the synchronous counter-rotation of the two cleaning rollers 6.
[0033] The outer wall of the cleaning roller 6 is designed with steel wire bristles. When the wire passes through, the steel wire bristles can effectively scrape off impurities on the surface of the wire, such as dust, oil, etc.
[0034] The rotation of the cleaning column 8 is achieved by a worm gear mechanism; a driving bevel gear 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the wire feeding rollers 3, and the bevel gear is meshed with a driven bevel gear 18 at one end of the worm 16. When the wire feeding roller 3 rotates, the worm 16 is driven to rotate through the bevel gear transmission; since both worm wheels 10 are meshed with the worm 16, the two cleaning columns 8 will rotate synchronously;
[0035] An air bag 15 is sheathed on the outer wall of the cleaning column 8, and a cleaning cloth 9 is sheathed on the outer wall of the air bag 15. As the cleaning column 8 rotates, the cleaning cloth 9 rubs against the surface of the wire, further removing any remaining impurities. The elastic design of the cleaning cloth 9 and the anti-slip rubber on its inner wall enhance the cleaning effect while ensuring good contact with the surface of the wire.
[0036] The linkage between cleaning roller and wire feeding roller:
[0037] In order to improve the cleaning efficiency, this mechanism is also designed with a linkage mechanism; through belt drive, the rotational power of one of the wire feeding gears 4 is transmitted to the reciprocating screw 12 on the U-shaped frame 5, and then the U-shaped frame 5 is driven to move back and forth in the slide groove 11 of the base 1; in this way, the cleaning roller 6 can not only rotate to clean the surface of the wire, but also increase the cleaning coverage area during the reciprocating motion, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0038] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
