Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire installation technology, and more specifically, to a wire bending device. Background Technology
[0002] Electricity meter installation is an essential part of power construction. However, the inconsistent lengths of wires stripped for single-phase and three-phase meters (three-phase three-wire and three-phase four-wire) during manual meter installation lead to issues like exposed copper and undervoltage, potential safety hazards, and ultimately, metering inaccuracies and economic losses. Furthermore, the manual bending of wires during installation, lacking standard markings, relies on intuition for stripping and bending, resulting in unsightly and unclear wiring. The manual installation process also requires multiple comparisons, slowing down the process and significantly impacting meter installation progress and user experience.
[0003] The bending, cutting, and stripping of wires used for current electricity meter installation are usually done manually by operators or by using cutting equipment. This process is cumbersome, prone to errors in wiring connections, and the bending angles are inconsistent, affecting the ease of meter installation. Furthermore, the required length of the connecting wires cannot be accurately measured and cut, easily resulting in wires that are too long and wasteful of materials or too short and unusable for connection. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a wire bending device is provided, comprising: a base, on which an installation groove and a limiting post are provided, the installation groove extending through both ends of the base, and the limiting post located at the end of the base; a clamping assembly disposed on the base, the clamping assembly including a clamping block, the clamping block forming a clamping space with the bottom of the installation groove, the clamping block having a clamping position and an abdication position, wherein when the clamping block is in the clamping position, the distance between the clamping block and the bottom wall of the installation groove is a first distance, and when the clamping block is in the abdication position, the distance between the clamping block and the bottom wall of the installation groove is a second distance, the first distance being less than the second distance; a positioning frame disposed at the end of the base, the positioning frame being provided with a guide groove extending along the width direction of the installation groove; and an abutment post, the position of which is adjustablely disposed within the guide groove, the abutment post being used to guide the wire extending from the installation groove.

The abutment post is located in the first groove and the second groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a mounting bracket and a connector. The mounting bracket is disposed on the base, and the connector is movably disposed on the mounting bracket. The clamping block is connected to the connector.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a first reset member disposed between the connector and the mounting bracket, which applies a reset force to the connector to keep the clamping block in the avoidance position.
[0011] Furthermore, the connector includes a handle, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the wire bending device includes: a base 10, a clamping assembly 20, a positioning frame 30, and an abutment post 40. The base 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11 and a limiting post 12. The mounting groove 11 extends through both ends of the base 10, and the limiting post 12 is located at the end of the base 10. The clamping assembly 20 is disposed on the base 10 and includes a clamping block 21. A clamping space is formed between the clamping block 21 and the bottom of the mounting groove 11. The clamping block 21 has a clamping position and a clearance position. When the clamping block 21 is in the clamping position, the distance between the clamping block 21 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 is a first distance. When the clamping block 21 is in the clearance position, the distance between the clamping block 21 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 is a second distance. The first distance is less than the second distance. The positioning frame 30 is disposed at the end of the base 10 and is provided with a guide groove 31 extending along the width direction of the mounting groove 11. The abutment post 40 is adjustablely positioned within the guide groove 31 and is used to guide the wires extending from the mounting groove 11.
[0029] In this embodiment, the base 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11 and a limiting post 12. A clamping assembly 20 is disposed on the base 10, and a clamping space is formed between the clamping block 21 and the mounting groove 11. A positioning frame 30 is placed on the base 10, and a guide groove 31 is provided on the positioning frame 30. An abutment post 40 is adjustablely positioned within the guide groove 31, and the abutment post 40 is used to guide the wire extending from the mounting groove 11. With the above arrangement, when the wire is placed into the mounting groove 11, it passes through the clamping space. The clamping block 21 clamps the wire, making its position relatively stable. When the abutment post 40 moves within the guide groove 31, it pushes the wire, and under the action of the limiting post 12, the wire bends. This results in a better bending effect and ensures a fixed bending angle. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of inconsistent wire bending angles in related technologies.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting structure 50 is provided between the guide groove 31 and the abutment post 40. The limiting structure 50 includes a limiting block 51 and a limiting groove 52. One of the limiting block 51 and the limiting groove 52 is disposed on the side wall of the guide groove 31, and the other of the limiting block 51 and the limiting groove 52 is disposed on the abutment post 40. The setting of the limiting structure 50 can make the position of the abutment post 40 more stable. Specifically, the structure of the limiting block 51 and the limiting groove 52 is relatively simple and easy to set.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the abutment post 40 includes a post body 41 and a first stop block 42 disposed on the post body 41. The first stop block 42 cooperates with the positioning frame 30 for stopping. The aforementioned first stop block 42 can further improve the positional stability of the post body 41.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning frame 30 includes a first frame 32 and a second frame 33, which are spaced apart along the depth direction of the mounting groove 11. The guide groove 31 includes a first groove 311 and a second groove 312, with the first groove 311 disposed on the first frame 32 and the second groove 312 disposed on the second frame 33. The abutment post 40 is located within the first groove 311 and the second groove 312. This arrangement improves the stability of the movement of the abutment post 40.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly 20 further includes a mounting bracket 22 and a connector 23. The mounting bracket 22 is disposed on the base 10, and the connector 23 is movably disposed on the mounting bracket 22. The clamping block 21 is connected to the connector 23. The mounting bracket 22 can position the connector 23, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the clamping block 21.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly 20 further includes a first reset member 24, which is disposed between the connector 23 and the mounting bracket 22. The first reset member 24 applies a reset force to the connector 23 to keep the clamping block 21 in the avoidance position. The aforementioned first reset member 24 can ensure the position of the clamping block 21.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the connector 23 includes a handle 231, a first connecting rod 232, and a second connecting rod 233. The first connecting rod 232 and the second connecting rod 233 are spaced apart and both are connected to the handle 231. The handle 231 is located above the mounting bracket 22. The first connecting rod 232 is connected to the clamping block 21. A second stop block 2331 is provided on the second connecting rod 233. The first end of the first reset member 24 is connected to the base 10, and the second end of the first reset member 24 is connected to the second stop block 2331. A portion of the structure of the second connecting rod 233 is inserted into the first reset member 24. The above configuration makes the operation of the connector 23 easier.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the wire bending device further includes a cutting assembly 60, which includes a first cutter 61, a second cutter 62, and a guide member 63. The guide member 63 is connected to the positioning frame 30, and the first cutter 61 and the second cutter 62 are movably disposed on the guide member 63. The first cutter 61 and the second cutter 62 described above can cut the outer sheath of the wire, thereby achieving stripping.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting assembly 60 further includes a second reset member 64 and a third reset member 65. A protrusion 631 is provided on the guide member 63. The second reset member 64 is located between the protrusion 631 and the first cutter 61, and the third reset member 65 is located between the protrusion 631 and the second cutter 62. The aforementioned second reset member 64 and third reset member 65 enable the positions of the first cutter 61 and the second cutter 62 to be relatively stable.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the wire bending device further includes a measuring element 70, which is movably disposed on the base 10 and has scale values. The measuring element 70 is capable of measurement.
[0039] The mounting slot 11 is lined with a protective pad made of insulating rubber, which insulates the wires and protects them from scratches. The mounting slot 11 can hold meter mounting wires of different diameters. The clamping blocks 21 on the mounting bracket 22 can clamp and fix the wires. Two positioning brackets 30 support the cutting and bending components. The bending components allow for bending the wires, and the cutting components allow for stripping and cutting the wires, preventing material waste or insufficient length for meter installation due to excessively long or short wires. Before meter installation, the required wiring length is set. Depending on the meter manufacturer, junction box depth, and wire diameter, 1.5cm is pre-stripped from both ends of the wire, and it is pre-bent according to the wiring route and length. During construction, simply align the wires with the corresponding terminals of the meter wiring and insert the locking screws to complete the meter wiring installation. This effectively prevents incorrect wiring, and the overall wiring of the meter box is aesthetically pleasing and clear, improving construction speed and accuracy.
[0040] The working principle of the technical solution in this embodiment:
[0041] First, place the wire into the mounting groove 11 of the base 10, then strip the wire end. Hold the first cutter 61 and the second cutter 62, which will then strip the wire. Simultaneously, the first cutter 61 and the second cutter 62 will press against the second reset member 64 and the third reset member 65 via the drive ring. Then, pull the wire to extend it out of the mounting groove 11. Next, pull the measuring member 70, causing the sliding block on one side of the measuring member 70 to slide within the limiting groove. Press the handle 231 downwards according to the required length of the wire measurement. At this point, the handle 231... 1. The connecting piece 23 is used to press and fix the wire in the mounting groove 11. Then, the abutment post 40 is pushed. At this time, the abutment post 40 drives the push wheel to slide in the sliding groove. At the same time, the limiting rings at both ends of the abutment post 40 slide in the limiting groove. Then, the abutment post 40 drives the push wheel to squeeze and push the wire. At the same time, the wire is bent due to the influence of the limiting post 12. Then, the handle 231 is released and the wire is pulled. The wire is cut according to the measured length. The first cutter 61 and the second cutter 62 are pressed close to strip the wire. Then, the other end of the wire is cut.
[0042] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.
[0043] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0044] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
