AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing tensioning frames use springs to adjust tension, the tension is prone to instability due to deformation, and the quality of springs varies between different batches, affecting the control of the wire feeding speed.

Method used

The method of adjusting the line feeding speed by using counterweights controls the tension by adjusting the weight of the counterweights. The constant tension is generated by the gravity of the counterweights. Combined with the slide rail and fixed pulley structure, the vertical movement direction is ensured, thus achieving stable tension control.

Benefits of technology

This allows for adjustment of tension as needed, avoiding the tension instability caused by spring adjustment and improving the control accuracy and stability of the wire feeding speed.

[0020] As Figures 1-5As shown, a tension pay-off mechanism, comprising a main frame 1, a counterweight, a pull rope 2, an upper guide wheel 3 is arranged at the upper end of the front face of the main frame 1, a sliding seat 4 is arranged on the main frame 1 through a vertical slide rail 5, a lower guide wheel 6 is arranged on the sliding seat 4, a fixed pulley 9 is arranged between the upper end of the front face of the main frame 1 and the upper end of the slide rail 5, one end of the pull rope 2 is fixedly connected with the sliding seat 4, and the other end of the pull rope 2 is connected with the counterweight through the fixed pulley 9 on the back face of the main frame 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, when in use, the weight of the counterweight can be adjusted according to the required tension, so as to realize different pulling forces, and since the weight of the counterweight is constant, the tension instability as generated when a spring is used will not occur; the slide rail 5 is arranged to ensure that the moving direction of the lower guide wheel 6 is always vertical movement under the action of different pulling forces. The fixed pulley 9 is arranged to change the pulling force direction of the pull rope 2, so that the upward pulling force of the sliding seat 4 can be generated by the gravity of the counterweight, and the lower guide wheel 6 is on the sliding seat 4, so that when the sliding seat 4 moves, the lower guide wheel 6 also moves, and thus the pulling force applied to the sliding seat 4 is equivalent to the pulling force applied to the lower guide wheel 6. In this way, the following advantages are achieved:

[0022] 1. The weight of the counterweight can be adjusted according to the required tension, so as to realize constant tension.

[0023] 2. Since the length of the pull rope is adjustable, that is, the distance between the upper guide wheel and the lower guide wheel is adjustable, the length of the storage line can be increased, and the storage amount can be increased.

[0024] 3. It is more beneficial to control the pay-off speed

[0025] As a preferred mode, the back face of the main frame 1 is provided with a vertical sliding limiter, and the counterweight moves up and down under the action of the vertical sliding limiter. After this arrangement, the counterweight will not shake, and can only move up and down.

[0026] As a preferred mode, the vertical sliding limiter comprises a vertical rod 7, a socket 8, a locking block, the socket 8 is arranged on the main frame 1 below the fixed pulley 9, the axis of the socket 8 is vertically arranged, the locking block is arranged on the main frame 1 above the socket 8, the lower end of the vertical rod 7 is inserted into the socket 8, the upper end of the vertical rod 7 is rotatably connected with the lower surface of the locking block, and a vertical through hole 18 is arranged on the counterweight block away from the connection with the pull rope 2 and is slidably connected between the two ends of the vertical rod 7. After being arranged in this way, in use, the counterweight block and the end of the pull rope 2 are first fixed, then the vertical rod 7 is vertically inserted through the through hole 18, so that the lower end of the vertical rod 7 is inserted into the socket 8, and then the upper end of the locking block is covered on the top end of the vertical rod 7. Preferably, a bearing can be arranged on the lower surface of the locking block, and then the top end of the vertical rod 7 is inserted into the bearing, and then the locking block is fixedly connected with the main frame 1. In this way, the counterweight block can only slide between the two ends of the vertical rod 7, that is, move up and down, and cannot swing.

[0027] As a preferred mode, the counterweight block comprises a plurality of counterweight units 10, the upper end of each counterweight unit 10 is provided with a first clamping head 11, and the lower end of each counterweight unit 10 is provided with a first clamping groove 12 matched with the first clamping head 11. After being arranged in this way, the number of counterweight units 10 can be adjusted as needed to adjust the weight of the counterweight block. When the counterweight units 10 are combined, the first clamping head 11 of the next counterweight unit 10 can be inserted into the first clamping groove 12 of the previous counterweight unit 10, so that the counterweight units 10 can be combined together.

[0028] As a preferred mode, the locking block comprises a vertical column 13, a second clamping groove 14, a third clamping groove 15, a wedge block 16, and a main top block 17. The main frame 1 is provided with a vertical column 13, the top end of the vertical column 13 is provided with a second clamping groove 14, the main top block 17 is provided with a third clamping groove 15, the upper end of the wedge block 16 extends into the third clamping groove 15 and is detachably connected with the main top block 17, the lower end of the wedge block 16 extends into the second clamping groove 14 and is detachably connected with the vertical column 13, and the main top block 17 is provided with a blind hole rotatably connected with the top end of the vertical rod 7 on the plane where the third clamping groove 15 is arranged and away from the third clamping groove 15. After being arranged in this way, the main top block 17 and the vertical column 13 can be fixed together by inserting the upper part of the wedge block 16 into the third clamping groove 15 and inserting the lower part of the wedge block 16 into the second clamping groove 14. When disassembly is needed, the wedge block 16 is pulled out, and then the main top block 17 is separated from the top end of the vertical column 13, so that the vertical rod 7 can be pulled out of the socket 8, and each counterweight unit is not limited.

[0029] As a preferred mode, the length line of the second clamping groove 14 and the length line of the third clamping groove 15 are both perpendicular to the front face of the main frame 1.
