[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of spring processing, in particular to a spring machine which can detect spring dimensions in real time. Background Art

[0002] Springs are essential components of many devices and are widely used inside many devices, including objects, to achieve effects such as shock absorption and recovery. Spring machines refer to mechanical equipment used to produce springs. They are categorized by their functional characteristics into compression spring machines, extension spring machines, universal spring machines, disc spring machines, and special spring machines.

[0003] A document with a publication number of (CN217451948U) was retrieved and disclosed a new spring machine, which includes a wire feeding transmission mechanism, two sets of curling mechanisms are symmetrically installed on the rear side of the wire feeding transmission mechanism, and a cutting mechanism and a forming mechanism are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the end of the wire feeding transmission mechanism. The wire feeding transmission mechanism includes a transmission block, and the transmission block has a wire feeding hole along the length direction. Arc grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides of the transmission block toward the wire feeding hole, and matching clamping rotating wheels are placed in the arc grooves. An adjusting sleeve is provided on the back of one of the clamping rotating wheels, and a matching adjusting rod is installed in the adjusting sleeve, and a rotating disk is installed at the end of the adjusting rod.

[0004] In this device, the wire is pulled by a wire feeding mechanism, allowing the wire to be transported in a straight line. Two sets of coiling mechanisms then bend the wire into a circular shape. A forming mechanism forms the wire into a spring, and a cutting mechanism cuts the spring. Through the coordination of these mechanisms, the tiny springs are manufactured. This spring machine has a simple structure and high production efficiency.

[0005] The above device directly collects and transports the metal wire after processing, but the length and appearance of the spring need to be inspected and screened after processing. The above device needs to screen the spring twice, which increases the processing steps and increases the workload of workers.

[0006] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the screening assembly further includes a cylinder, which is disposed on the first feeding trough, the cylinder is fixedly connected to the first feeding trough, and the cylinder is electrically connected to the detector.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, guide wheels are symmetrically provided on the processing device, the guide wheels are rotatably connected to the processing device, and the guide wheels guide the metal wire.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the processing device is symmetrically provided with multiple sets of abutment wheels, which are movably connected to the processing device. The processing device is provided with a slider, which is slidably connected to the processing device.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the slider is rotatably connected to a threaded rod, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the processing device.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

The detailed working principle will not be repeated here. The slider 21 and the processing device 2 are threadedly driven to rise and fall, and the slider 21 drives the abutment wheel 22 to follow the rise and fall. By setting multiple sets of abutment wheels 22 to guide and clamp the metal wire, it is avoided that when a single abutment wheel 22 clamps and guides the metal wire, the unclamped metal wire is prevented from bending.
