[0002] Carbon fiber spokes, as the name suggests, are spoke structures made of carbon fiber. Traditional carbon fiber spokes are mostly made by bonding pre-impregnated fabric, which has poor flexibility, is easy to break, and has sharp, unsafe break points. Therefore, the new material fiber spokes use directional braiding machine technology, which can reduce weight and ensure rigidity while providing better safety. However, directional braiding machine technology requires the chuck to be able to feed the spoke ends at multiple angles to meet the braiding needs in different directions. Since the existing braiding machine chuck can only move laterally and cannot feed at multiple angles, the existing end feeding device needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

The movable gripper can slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the clamping drive assembly is used to drive the movable gripper to move closer to or away from the fixed gripper.

[0007] Furthermore, arc-shaped clamping openings are respectively provided on the opposite surfaces of the fixed gripper and the movable gripper.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping drive assembly includes a connecting frame and a stepper motor fixed between two support frames. A guide rod is fixed on the connecting frame, and a drive block is slidably connected to the guide rod. A lead screw is driven and connected to the output end of the stepper motor. An internal threaded hole is provided on the drive block opposite the lead screw. The guide rod, lead screw, and rotating shaft are arranged in parallel.

[0009] Furthermore, the angle adjustment assembly includes an angle adjustment motor fixed on the chuck bracket. The output shaft of the angle adjustment motor passes through the chuck bracket and is connected to a drive wheel. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the support frame and is connected to a driven wheel. The driven wheel and the drive wheel are connected by a synchronous belt.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a controller electrically connected to the knitting machine, wherein both the clamping drive assembly and the angle adjustment assembly are electrically connected to the controller.
