Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated feeding device technology, specifically a metal wire straightening and distributing device. Background Technology

[0002] Metal wire is used as a component in many products. However, metal wire raw materials are usually sold in bundles. During feeding, individual metal wires need to be removed from the bundles one by one and then transported to the designated location individually.

[0003] Currently, for example, in the injection molding of insert products, the corresponding mold is the insert injection mold. Several metal wires are manually separated from a bundle of metal wires and inserted into multiple insert holes in the injection mold. However, removing individual metal wires from the bundle is inconvenient and can easily cause plastic deformation, affecting the quality of subsequent insert injection molded products. Furthermore, manually removing material from a bundle of metal wires is slow and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the above-mentioned problems by proposing a metal wire straightening and distributing device, aiming to solve the technical problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a metal wire straightening and dispensing device, comprising:

[0006] The line distribution conveyor plate has multiple take-up grooves arranged along the length of the line distribution conveyor plate on its upper surface.

[0007] The receiving assembly has its outlet connected to the upper surface of the dividing conveyor plate; the receiving assembly is used to straighten the received bundles of metal wires and output individual metal wires one by one from the outlet.

[0008] A driving device is provided, wherein the branching conveyor plate is connected to the power output end of the driving device; the driving device is used to drive the branching conveyor plate to move along its length.

[0009] Furthermore, it includes a guiding mechanism; the branch conveyor plate is connected to the guiding mechanism; the guiding mechanism is used to guide the movement of the branch conveyor plate.

[0010] Furthermore, it includes an end-aligning assembly, which includes a pushing device and a push plate mounted on the power output end of the pushing device; the pushing device is used to drive the push plate to move relative to the side where the take-up groove end is located on the wire distribution conveyor plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the receiving assembly includes a supporting enclosure and a sliding inclined frame; the branching conveyor plate is located below the sliding inclined frame; the supporting enclosure and the sliding inclined frame enclose a storage bin; the sliding inclined frame is provided with a feeding inclined surface that connects to the storage bin.

[0012] Furthermore, it includes a linear vibrator; the linear vibrator is located between the discharge port and the sliding inclined frame; the linear vibrator, the supporting plate, and the sliding inclined frame enclose the storage hopper.

[0013] Furthermore, it includes length-limiting baffles; the number of length-limiting baffles is two, respectively disposed on both sides of the discharge port.

[0014] Furthermore, it includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the relative distance between the two length-limiting baffles.

[0015] Furthermore, the multiple take-up slots are arranged at equal intervals.

[0016] Furthermore, the moving direction of the branching conveyor plate is perpendicular to the length direction of the take-up trough.

[0017] Furthermore, it includes magnetic suction components, wherein the number of magnetic suction components is multiple and distributed corresponding to multiple take-up slots.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a metal wire straightening and sorting device.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 This embodiment provides a metal wire straightening and dispensing device, including:

[0027] The line conveyor plate 1 has multiple take-up grooves 110 arranged along the length of the line conveyor plate 1 on its upper surface.

[0028] The receiving component 2 has its outlet connected to the upper end face of the dividing conveyor plate 1; the receiving component 2 is used to straighten the received bundles of metal wires and output individual metal wires one by one from the outlet.

[0029] The drive device 3 is connected to the power output end of the line distribution conveyor plate 1; the drive device 3 is used to drive the line distribution conveyor plate 1 to move along its length direction.

[0030] The drive unit 3 drives the wire distribution conveyor plate 1 to move along its length, causing multiple take-up grooves 110 on the wire distribution conveyor plate 1 to successively pass through the discharge port of the receiving component 2. After the receiving component 2 straightens the received bundles of metal wires, the discharge port outputs individual metal wires that fall into the corresponding take-up grooves 110, thus completing the arrangement of individual metal wires one by one onto the wire distribution conveyor plate 1. At this point, whether manually or with automated equipment, individual metal wires can be removed without obstruction, avoiding the slow speed of extracting individual metal wires from bundles, which easily damages or bends the metal wires.

[0031] Preferably, the width of the take-up groove 110 is slightly larger than the diameter of the metal wire, which can effectively accommodate and stably connect the metal wire. During the movement of the wire distribution conveyor plate 1 driven by the drive device 3, the metal wire will not easily fall out of the take-up groove 110.

[0032] In some embodiments, the drive device 3 is a motor, the power output shaft of the motor is connected to a lead screw 310, and the side wall of the branch conveyor plate 1 is provided with a nut seat corresponding to the lead screw 310.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a guide mechanism 4; the branch conveyor plate 1 is connected to the guide mechanism 4; the guide mechanism 4 is used to guide the movement of the branch conveyor plate 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, the guide mechanism 4 includes a slide rail connected to the frame and a slide block slidably connected to the slide rail. The slide block is connected to the lower end face of the line conveyor plate 1.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The device includes an end straightening assembly, which includes a pushing device 510 and a push plate 520 installed at the power output end of the pushing device 510. The pushing device 510 is used to drive the push plate 520 to move relative to the side of the end of the take-up groove 110 on the wire conveying plate 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, the pushing device 510 is a linear cylinder. The extension rod of the linear cylinder drives the push plate 520, which can hold one end of the metal wire contained in the take-up groove 110, so that multiple metal wires are aligned, which facilitates the subsequent automated equipment to pick up the material.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The receiving assembly 2 includes a supporting enclosure 210 and a sliding inclined frame 220; the branching conveyor plate 1 is located below the sliding inclined frame 220; the supporting enclosure 210 and the sliding inclined frame 220 enclose a storage bin 230; the sliding inclined frame 220 is provided with a feeding inclined surface 221 that connects with the storage bin 230.

[0038] Bundles of metal wire are placed onto the feeding ramp 221, either manually or automatically. Under gravity, the metal wires automatically slide to the bottom storage bin 230. The subsequent metal wires exert pressure on the wires near the discharge port, promoting the discharge of the preceding wires. This design is ingenious and reasonable.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It includes a linear vibrator 6; the linear vibrator 6 is located between the discharge port and the sliding inclined frame 220; the linear vibrator 6, the supporting plate 210, and the sliding inclined frame 220 enclose the storage bin 230.

[0040] The active vibration provided by the vertical vibrator 6 causes the multiple metal wires located in the storage bin 230 to be arranged regularly and released from the discharge port in an orderly manner, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It includes a length limiting baffle 7; the number of length limiting baffles 7 is two, respectively disposed on both sides of the discharge port.

[0042] Preferably, the length limiting baffle 7 is also located on both sides of the sliding inclined frame 220.

[0043] The spacing between the two length-limiting baffles 7 corresponds to the length of the metal wire, which can prevent the metal wire from becoming skewed as it slides from the feeding ramp 221 to the storage bin 230, or from shifting significantly under the vibration of the vibrator 6, thus preventing it from smoothly discharging from the corresponding discharge port.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It includes an adjustment mechanism 8, which is used to adjust the relative distance between the two length limiting baffles 7.

[0045] In some implementations, the adjustment mechanism 8 includes a guide rod 810 connecting to the support plate 210, a guide sleeve 820 connecting to the length limiting baffle 7, a nut connecting seat 830 connecting to the length limiting baffle 7, a threaded rod 840 cooperating with the nut connecting seat 830, and a handwheel 850 connected to the end of the threaded rod 840.

[0046] By rotating the handwheel 850, the threaded rod 840 rotates, causing the nut connecting seat 830 and the length limiting baffle 7 to move along the length of the threaded rod 840. The threads in the two sets of nut connecting seats 830 have different directions of rotation, which allows the two length limiting baffles 7 to move closer or further apart synchronously to match metal wires of different lengths.

[0047] Preferably, the plurality of take-up grooves 110 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0048] When the multiple insert holes of the insert injection mold are also arranged at equal intervals, the automated conveying device that takes metal wires from the dividing conveyor plate 1 can also pick up materials from multiple metal wires simultaneously, improving the material picking and feeding efficiency.

[0049] Preferably, the moving direction of the branching conveyor plate 1 is perpendicular to the length direction of the take-up groove 110.

[0050] In some embodiments, a magnetic attractor (not shown) is included, and the number of magnetic attractors is a plurality of the plurality of the take-up slots 110 distributed together.

[0051] When the metal wire is made of iron, the magnetic component can effectively attract and fix the iron wire, preventing it from easily detaching from the take-up groove 110.

[0052] In the specification and claims of this application, the terms "comprising / including" and "having / including" and variations thereof are used to specify the presence of the stated features, values, steps or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, values, steps, components or combinations thereof.

[0053] Some features of this invention are described in different embodiments for clarity; however, these features may also be described in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, some features of this invention are described only in a single embodiment for brevity; however, these features may also be described individually or in any suitable combination in different embodiments.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
