Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire bending processing, and specifically relates to an automatic wire feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] J-shaped guidewires are widely used medical devices in the medical field. Their most distinctive feature is the J-shaped bend at the tip, a unique design that provides better maneuverability and adaptability during operation. In traditional J-shaped guidewire manufacturing, the bending of the tip is often done manually, which is inefficient, costly, and results in inconsistent product quality.

[0003] To address this problem, a prior patent provides a guide wire bending device (application number CN202120325668.9). The device comprises a head fixing mechanism for fixing the guide wire tip, a pulling mechanism for fixing the guide wire and cooperating with the head fixing mechanism to tighten the guide wire, and a bending mechanism for bending the guide wire tip. The pulling mechanism has a pulling fixing position for fixing the guide wire, the head fixing mechanism has a head fixing position for fixing the guide wire tip, and the bending mechanism has a bending position for abutting against the guide wire to cooperate with the pulling mechanism and the head fixing mechanism to bend the guide wire tip. The shape formed by the head fixing position, bending position, and pulling fixing position is triangular. This prior patent provides a guide wire bending device that can automatically bend the guide wire tip, significantly improving efficiency and reducing labor costs compared to traditional manual bending operations.

[0004] However, when this type of wire guide elbow device is in operation, the wire feeding process is still manually operated, which not only increases labor costs but also affects the overall processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0037] See Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides an automatic guide wire feeding mechanism, including:

[0038] The feeding and storage bin 1 is provided with a feeding and storage position 11 for storing the guide wire 8 to be fed;

[0039] The material handling component 2 is used to grab the guide wire at the material storage position 11, and the material handling component 2 corresponds to the material storage position 11;

[0040] The gripping component 3 is used to grip the guide wire 8 on the feeding component 2 and transport it to the feeding position 7. The gripping component 3 corresponds to the position of the feeding component 2.

[0041] When the feeding mechanism is feeding, firstly, the guide wire 8 is stacked in the feeding storage position 11, the guide wire 8 in the feeding storage position 11 is grabbed by the picking component 2, and then the guide wire 8 on the picking component 2 is grabbed by the picking component 3, and then the grabbed guide wire 8 is transported to the feeding position 7 to complete the feeding.

[0042] In this embodiment, the material handling component 2 includes a material handling cylinder 21 and a material handling head 22 for vacuum adsorption. The material handling cylinder 21 is driven to the material handling head 22, and the material handling head 22 corresponds to the material loading and storage position 11. The material handling cylinder 21 drives the material handling head 22 to rise and fall, so as to realize vacuum adsorption and gripping of the guide wire 8 in the material loading and storage position 11, thereby completing the material handling process of the guide wire 8.

[0043] In this embodiment, the feeding storage position 11 is a V-shaped groove provided on the feeding storage bin 1, and the end of the picking head 22 corresponding to the feeding storage position 11 is V-shaped. The feeding storage bin 1 with the V-shaped groove and the picking head 22 with one V-shaped end cooperate to ensure that even if the number of guide wires 8 in the feeding storage bin 1 is small, the picking head 22 can still successfully pick up the guide wires 8.

[0044] In this embodiment, the end of the feeding head 22 corresponding to the feeding storage position 11 is provided with a feeding groove 221 adapted to the guide wire 8, and the other end of the feeding head 22 is provided with a vacuum adsorption channel 222 extending into the feeding groove 221. An external gas source device for vacuum adsorption can be connected to the feeding groove 221 through the vacuum adsorption channel 222 so that when the feeding head 22 descends to the feeding groove 221 and is attached to the outside of the guide wire 8, it can perform vacuum adsorption gripping on the guide wire 8.

[0045] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding storage bin 4, and the feeding storage bin 4 is provided with a feeding storage position 41 for storing the processed guide wire 8. The feeding storage position 41 corresponds to the gripping component 3.

[0046] In this embodiment, the gripping component 3 includes a moving cylinder 31, a moving bracket 32, a gripping seat 33, a feeding cylinder 34, a feeding gripper cylinder 35, a discharging cylinder 36, and a discharging gripper cylinder 37. The gripping seat 33 is movably mounted on the moving bracket 32. The moving cylinder 31 is fixedly mounted on the moving bracket 32 ​​and drivenly connected to the gripping seat 33 to drive the feeding cylinder 34 to move between the feeding storage position 11 and the feeding position 7, and the discharging cylinder 36 to move between the feeding position 7 and the discharging storage position 41. The feeding cylinder 34 is drivenly connected to the feeding gripper cylinder 35, and the discharging cylinder 36 is drivenly connected to the discharging gripper cylinder 37.

[0047] When the gripping component 3 is working: the moving cylinder 31 drives the gripping seat 33 to move, so that the loading gripper cylinder 35 is above the loading storage position 11 and the unloading gripper cylinder 37 is above the loading position 7. At this time, the loading cylinder 34 drives the loading gripper cylinder 35 to descend to grip the guide wire 8 on the picking head 22, and at the same time, the unloading cylinder 36 drives the unloading gripper cylinder 37 to descend to grip the processed guide wire 8 at the loading position 7; then the moving cylinder 31 drives the gripping seat to move, so that the loading gripper cylinder 35 drives the waiting... The processed guide wire 8 moves to the loading position 7, so that the unloading gripper cylinder 37 drives the processed guide wire 8 to the unloading storage position 41. At this time, the loading cylinder 34 drives the loading gripper cylinder 35 to descend to place the guide wire 8 to be processed at the loading position 7. At the same time, the unloading cylinder 36 drives the unloading gripper cylinder 37 to descend to place the processed guide wire 8 at the unloading storage position 41. The above process is repeated, so that the automatic loading of the guide wire 8 to be processed and the automatic unloading of the processed guide wire 8 can be repeatedly realized.

[0048] In this embodiment, the gripping component 3 further includes a linkage 38. A feeding cylinder 34 is mounted on the gripping seat 33 and is driven by the linkage 38. The feeding gripper cylinder 35 and the unloading cylinder 36 are both connected to the linkage 38. It can be understood that when the moving cylinder 31 drives the gripping seat 33 to move on the moving bracket 32, the moving bracket 32 ​​can drive the feeding cylinder 34 to move. The feeding cylinder 34, through the linkage 38, synchronously drives the feeding gripper cylinder 35 and the unloading cylinder 36 to move.

[0049] When the gripping component 3 grips the guide wire 8, the loading cylinder 34 drives the linkage 38 to descend, and the linkage 38 drives the loading gripper cylinder 35 to descend to grip or put down the guide wire 8 to be processed. At the same time, after the loading cylinder 34 drives the unloading cylinder 36 to descend through the linkage 38, the unloading cylinder 36 then drives the unloading gripper cylinder 37 to descend to grip or put down the processed guide wire 8.

[0050] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a material straightening component 5 for straightening the guide wires 8 in the feeding storage position 11. The material straightening component 5 corresponds to the position of the feeding storage position 11. After the material picking component 2 picks up the guide wires 8 at the feeding storage position 11, the material straightening component can straighten the guide wires 8 in the feeding storage position 11 to facilitate the next picking up of the material by the material picking component 2.

[0051] In this embodiment, the material straightening assembly 5 includes a material straightening cylinder 51 and a material straightening component 52. The material straightening cylinder 51 and the material straightening component 52 are drivenly connected, and the material straightening component 52 corresponds to the feeding storage position 11. Specifically, the material straightening cylinder 51 can drive the material straightening component 52 to rise and fall, so as to flatten the guide wire 8 at the feeding storage position 11 and organize the guide wire 8 in the feeding storage position 11 to facilitate the next gripping and picking of material by the material picking assembly 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a feeding auxiliary component 6 for smoothing the tail end of the guide wire 8 gripped by the gripping component 3 to the feeding position 7. The feeding auxiliary component 6 corresponds to the feeding storage position 11. Since the guide wire 8 is flexible, when the head end of the guide wire 8 gripped by the gripping component 3 is conveyed to the feeding position 7, the feeding auxiliary component 6 smooths the guide wire 8 so that its tail end also enters the feeding position 7 simultaneously.

[0053] In this embodiment, the feeding auxiliary component 6 includes a translation auxiliary cylinder 61, a lifting auxiliary cylinder 62, and a feeding auxiliary component 63. The translation auxiliary cylinder 61 is driven to connect with the lifting auxiliary cylinder 62, and the lifting auxiliary cylinder 62 is driven to connect with the feeding auxiliary component 63. When the feeding auxiliary component 6 moves the guide wire 8, the lifting auxiliary cylinder 62 drives the feeding auxiliary component 6 to descend to the feeding storage position 11, and then the translation auxiliary cylinder 61 controls the feeding auxiliary component 63 to move along the feeding storage position 11 to move the tail end of the guide wire 8 gripped by the gripping component 3. The translation auxiliary cylinder 61 is specifically a rodless cylinder, but it can also be replaced by a structure such as a motor lead screw.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
