Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive safety buckle manufacturing technology, specifically a reversing mechanism for a coil spring. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, safety buckles are one of the key components to ensure passenger safety. As the core component of safety buckles, the quality and performance of coil springs are directly related to the safety performance of safety buckles and even the entire vehicle. Preliminary bending and winding involves bending materials such as steel wire into a basic coil spring shape according to specific shapes and sizes. This step is usually completed by specialized winding equipment to ensure that the basic shape and size of the coil spring meet the design requirements.
[0003] To improve the resilience and stability of coil springs, existing technologies typically employ a reverse winding method, where the initially wound coil spring is wound in the opposite direction onto another shaft. By altering the stress distribution within the coil spring, it is designed to improve its resilience and stability. However, in practice, because the coil spring itself possesses a certain elasticity, when it is wound in the opposite direction onto the shaft, its internal elasticity attempts to restore the spring to its original shape. This causes the coil spring to be easily stretched or deformed during the winding process. Once stretched or deformed, its resilience and stability will be severely affected, potentially even failing to meet design requirements, thus leading to a decline in the performance of the car safety buckle. Utility Model Content

[0039] In this embodiment, a reversing mechanism for a coil spring is designed with a rotatable pressing wheel 13. During the reversing coil spring operation, the pressing wheel 13 can be flexibly adjusted to be near the top of the coil spring for precise positioning. This effectively reduces the risk of the coil spring moving upwards during operation and becoming loose, ensuring smooth reversing winding. A slidingly connected positioning rod 10 is provided, which is driven by a cylinder 9. During the critical stage of reversing the coil spring, the positioning rod 10 accurately aligns with and fixes the middle two coils of the coil spring, significantly reducing the possibility of deformation at the end of the coil spring during winding and ensuring the perfect shape of the coil spring. A retractable bending block 14 is specially provided on the processing table 2. When it is necessary to bend the end of the coil spring, the bending block 14 can be quickly extended into place with a simple operation, which is not only easy to operate, but also greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of bending operations.
[0040] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: The pre-wound coil spring is placed on the mounting post 3 on the processing table 2. One end of the pre-wound coil spring is engaged with the slot 8 of the take-up shaft 7, preparing for the reverse winding operation. At this time, the pressing wheel 13 is in the initial position and has not pressed or positioned the coil spring. The second motor 17 is started to drive the swing shaft 11 to adjust the angle so that the pressing wheel 13 is above the coil spring and positions and presses the coil spring. Then, the cylinder 9 is started. The output end of the cylinder 9 pushes the positioning rod 10 to move towards the coil spring until one end of the positioning rod 10 maintains a small gap with the coil spring. This step ensures that the middle part of the coil spring can remain stable during the reverse winding process, reducing the possibility of deformation at the take-up end. Subsequently, the first motor 16 is started. The output of the first motor 16 drives the take-up shaft 7 to start rotating, realizing the reverse winding of the coil spring. After the reverse winding is completed, the pressing wheel 13 and the limit rod are reset. At this time, the first electric push rod 18 is activated. The output of the first electric push rod 18 pushes the push rod 6 upward through the first connecting rod 23, thereby driving the take-up wheel 4 and the coil spring to move upward together. When the take-up wheel 4 rises to a certain height, the coil spring will automatically detach from the take-up wheel 4, realizing the effect of automatic material pushing. If it is necessary to bend the end of the coil spring, the second electric push rod 19 can be activated. The output of the second electric push rod 19 pushes the bending block 14 upward through the second connecting rod 24 until the bending block 14 contacts the coil spring. Appropriate pressure can be applied to the bending block 14 to bend the end of the coil spring.
