Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of straightening machines, in particular to a copper rod straightening mechanism. Background Art
[0002] The production of battery terminals typically uses purchased copper rod coils. Punching machines cut the rods into equal-length copper rods, which are then cold-forged to form blanks. These blanks are then processed into battery terminals using lathes. Because the purchased copper rod coils are bent before entering the punching machines, they must be straightened before punching to ensure a straight rod. However, in actual production, a full coil of copper rod cannot always be used. For example, a full coil of copper rod may be 100 meters long, but only 50 meters are needed in actual production. There are two common approaches to this situation: manually pulling the copper rod coil to separate the rods from the coil to a length of at least 50 meters, then using other tools to cut them before continuing production. Alternatively, an operator can shut down the punching machine based on the number of copper rods punched. Both methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] The production of battery terminals typically uses purchased copper coils. Punching machines cut the coils into equal-length copper rods, which are then cold-forged into specific shapes to form blanks. These blanks are then processed into battery terminals using turning equipment. Because the purchased copper coils are bent before entering the punching machines, they must be straightened before punching to ensure a straight copper rod.
[0022] See also Figure 1-4As shown, the copper rod straightening mechanism of the present invention comprises a support platform 01, on which are fixedly mounted a vertical straightening component 02 and a transverse straightening component 03, both of identical structure and perpendicular to each other. A cutting component 04 is also provided on one side of the vertical straightening component 02. A driving component 05 is provided on one side of the transverse straightening component 03 to move the copper rod within the vertical straightening component 02 and transverse straightening component 03. The copper rod passes through the cutting component 04, the vertical straightening component 02, and the transverse straightening component 03 in sequence before entering the punching machine. As the copper rod passes through the vertical straightening component 02, the vertical straightening component 02 corrects any vertical bends in the metal material. By adjusting the pressure or tension, the material is restored to a straight vertical position, thereby improving its vertical straightness. The transverse straightening component 03 primarily corrects any horizontal bends in the metal material. By applying appropriate transverse pressure or tension, the material is straightened horizontally, further improving its overall straightness.
[0023] By installing a cutting component 04 on one side of the vertical straightening component 02, the raw material is a copper rod coil. In actual application, a full coil of copper rod cannot always be used. During use, the required length is calculated based on actual production needs. When the copper rod has moved the corresponding distance, the cutting component 04 automatically cuts the copper rod.
[0024] See also Figure 2 As shown, the vertical straightening component 02 includes a mounting plate 06 fixedly mounted on the support platform 01, a lower fixing plate 07 and an upper fixing plate 08 arranged parallel to the lower fixing plate 07 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 06, a plurality of lower straightening wheels 09 evenly distributed on the lower fixing plate 07, and two parallel connecting rods 10 slidably mounted on the upper fixing plate 08. A connecting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting rod 10, and an adjustment plate 12 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the connecting rod 10. The connecting plate 11 is located between the upper fixing plate 08 and the lower fixing plate 07 and is adjacent to the lower fixing plate 07. A plurality of upper straightening wheels 13 are evenly distributed on the connecting plate 11, and the lower straightening wheel 09 is located between two adjacent lower straightening wheels 09. A spring 14 for providing straightening force is provided between the connecting plate 11 and the upper fixing plate 08. An eccentric wheel 15 for adjusting the gap between the upper straightening wheel 13 and the lower straightening wheel 09 is provided between the adjustment plate 12 and the upper fixed plate 08. An adjustment shaft 16 is rotatably installed on the mounting plate 06 through a rolling bearing. One end of the adjustment shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the eccentric wheel 15, and a handle 17 is fixedly installed on the other end.
[0025] During use, when the copper rod passes through the gap between the lower straightening wheel 09 and the upper straightening wheel 13, the spring 14 provided between the upper fixed plate 08 and the connecting plate 11 provides a straightening force. When the straightening force is too large or too small, the eccentric wheel 15 is driven by the handle 17 to rotate between the adjustment plate 12 and the upper fixed plate 08. When the eccentric wheel 15 rotates, the adjustment plate 12 moves up and down. During the movement of the adjustment plate 12, the connecting plate 11 is driven to move up and down synchronously through the connecting rod 10. The gap between the upper straightening wheel 13 and the lower straightening wheel 09 is adjusted to achieve the effect of adjusting the straightening force. Since the horizontal straightening component 03 and the vertical straightening component 02 have the same structure, they will not be described here.
[0026] See also Figure 3-4 As shown, the cutting component 04 includes a cutting seat 18 fixedly mounted on the support table 01, a fixing seat 19 horizontally mounted on the cutting seat 18, a sliding groove 20 is provided between the fixing seat 19 and the cutting seat 18, a driving plate 21 is provided in the sliding groove 20, and a driving source 22 is fixedly mounted on the cutting seat 18. The output end of the driving source 22 is fixedly connected to the driving plate 21. When the driving source 22 is in operation, it drives the driving plate 21 to move horizontally in the sliding groove 20. The driving source 22 is a cylinder, and other devices in the prior art can also be used to act on the driving plate 21 to move it in the sliding groove 20. Both the cutting seat 18 and the driving plate 21 are provided with a notch 23 for the copper rod to pass through. Two driving holes 24 are provided in an "eight" shape on the driving plate 21. The two driving holes 24 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the notch 23. Cutting plates 25 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the notch 23. The two cutting plates 25 are fixedly mounted on the cutting seat 18 and a cutting groove 26 is vertically arranged between the two cutting plates 25 and the cutting seat 18. A cutter 27 is slidably arranged in the cutting groove 26. Long strip cutting holes 28 are vertically provided on the cutting plate 25 and the cutting seat 18. A driving rod 29 is provided in the cutting hole 28. The cutter 27 is fixedly mounted on the driving rod 29, and one end of the driving rod 29 is slidably connected to the driving hole 24.
[0027] When the output end of the drive source 22 is extended, it drives the drive block to move within the sliding slot 20 toward the notch 23. During this movement, the drive block drives the drive rod 29 within the cutting hole 28 toward the center of the notch 23 through the drive hole 24. The movement of the drive rod 29 drives the cutter 27 toward the center of the notch 23, causing the cutter 27 to cut the copper rod within the notch 23. Conversely, when the output end of the drive source 22 is retracted, the drive block moves away from the notch 23, driving the cutter 27 away from the center of the notch 23 through the drive hole 24.
[0028] See also Figure 1As shown, the driving component 05 includes a driving seat 30 fixedly mounted on the support platform 01, and two groups of driving groups are arranged in parallel on the driving seat 30. The two groups of driving groups are connected by gear transmission. Each group of driving groups consists of two driving wheels 31 arranged one above the other. A driving shaft is fixedly mounted on the driving wheel 31, and the driving shaft is rotatably mounted on the driving seat 30 through a rolling bearing. A driving source 22 is fixedly mounted on the support platform 01, and the output end of the driving source 22 is fixedly connected to one of the driving shafts. The driving source 22 is a motor, and other devices in the prior art can also be used to act on the driving shaft to rotate it on the driving seat 30. The driving source 22 drives the driving wheel 31 to rotate, and the copper rod is driven to move by the friction between the driving wheel 31 and the copper rod.
[0029] It should be noted that for the sake of clarity, the fasteners described in this application are any one of screws, bolts, and screws, and the "drive sources" of different types installed in different positions are marked with the same figure number "22".
