[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automated device for forming complex shapes of steel wire, comprising a base plate 1, which serves as the basic support structure of the device, bearing the weight of the entire device and the operation of its various components. A main unit 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and the main unit 2 is the core part of the device. The main unit 2 is used to push the steel wire forward or backward. A rotating column 3 is rotatably connected inside the main unit 2, and the rotating column 3 is rotatably connected to the inside of the main unit 2, serving to bear and transmit rotational power. A rotating assembly for rotation is fixedly connected inside the main unit 2, and an output shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating assembly, responsible for converting electric drive into mechanical rotation. The rotating assembly includes a motor 4, which is externally fixedly connected to the inside of the main unit 2. The rear side of the output shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the motor 4. The output shaft 5 is rotatably connected to a drive gear 6, which drives a gear ring 7 to rotate. The rotating column 3 is externally fixedly connected to a gear ring 7, providing stable rotational support for the rotating column 3. The drive gear 6 and the gear ring 7 are meshed with each other. The drive gear 6 rotates under the drive of the output shaft 5, which in turn drives the gear ring 7 to rotate. The front side of the rotating column 3 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 8, which drives the rotating column 3 to rotate. A steel wire passes through the rotating column 3 and reaches the rotating plate 8. The rotating plate 8 carries the steel wire and rotates left and right to adjust its shape.

[0034] A rotating assembly for rotation is fixedly connected inside the rotating plate 8. A rotating disk 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a second motor 9, which is externally fixedly connected inside the rotating plate 8. The bottom of the rotating disk 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the second motor 9. The rotating disk 10 rotates under the drive of the motor, ensuring precise control of the forming process. A follower disk 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating disk 10, responsible for follow-up movement and working in conjunction with the bending column 12 and multiple limiting rods 13. The design of the follower disk 11 allows it to flexibly adjust according to the shape changes of the steel wire, ensuring forming accuracy. The bending column 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the follower disk 11. The bending column 12 is the main component used for bending the steel wire. Multiple limiting rods 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the follower disk 11, serving to restrict and guide the wire. The design of the limiting rods 13 ensures that the steel wire maintains the correct position and angle during the forming process, avoiding forming errors caused by offset.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4A pushing assembly for pushing is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 8. A pushing block 19 is slidably connected to the output end of the pushing assembly. The pushing assembly includes a cylinder 18, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 8, providing a strong pushing force to ensure that the clamping blocks can reliably clamp the steel wire. The rear side of the pushing block 19 is slidably connected to the front side of the cylinder 18, responsible for pushing the clamping blocks 20 and 21 to perform clamping operations. The front side of the pushing block 19 is rotatably connected to the clamping block 20. A fixed housing 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 8, providing fixed support for the rotation of the clamping blocks 20 and 21. The clamping block 21 is rotatably connected inside the fixed housing 22, and works in conjunction with the clamping block 20 to ensure that the steel wire is clamped during the forming process. There is no slippage or loosening. A small gear 23 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the fixed outer shell 22, and a small gear 24 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the fixed outer shell 22. The small gear 23 and the small gear 24 are meshed with each other. The rotation of the clamping block 20 drives the small gear 23 to rotate. The meshing of the small gear 23 and the small gear 24 drives the clamping block 21 to work at the same time. A fixed block 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 8. A cylinder 26 is fixedly connected inside the fixed block 25. A cutting block 27 is slidably connected to the front side of the cylinder 26. It is responsible for cutting the steel wire after the forming is completed, ensuring a smooth connection between the forming and cutting processes and improving work efficiency. A collection box 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. After the steel wire is bent and formed, the rotating plate 8 tilts and pours the formed and cut steel wire into the collection box 28.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The top of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to a wire feeder 14, which is used to place the unprocessed steel wire. When the host machine 2 pulls the steel wire, the steel wire rotates in the wire feeder 14 and enters the host machine 2 in segments. Multiple limit posts 15 are fixedly connected inside the wire feeder 14 to ensure that the fed steel wire remains stable during the forming process and avoids forming errors caused by movement. The top of the rotating plate 8 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 16 and a limit block 17, which limit the movement range of the steel wire and ensure that the position of the steel wire is always within the preset range during the forming process, thereby improving the forming accuracy.

[0037] Working Principle: After the equipment starts, the unprocessed steel wire enters the main unit 2 through the wire feeder 14. The limiting post 15 inside the wire feeder 14 ensures the stability of the steel wire during entry. The motor 4 of the main unit 2 drives the output shaft 5, which in turn drives the gear 6 to rotate and the gear ring 7 to rotate the rotating column 3. The steel wire is inside the rotating column 3. As the rotating column 3 rotates, the steel wire passes through the rotating column 3 and reaches the rotating plate 8. The rotating plate 8 rotates left and right driven by the rotating column 3, bending the steel wire and adjusting it to the required shape. At the same time, the motor 9 drives the rotating disk 10 to rotate, and the follower disk 11 works in conjunction with the bending column 12 to perform precise forming operations on the steel wire. The limiting rod 13 plays a guiding role in this process, ensuring that the steel wire maintains the correct position and angle during forming.

[0038] During the wire forming process, cylinder 18 in the push assembly pushes push block 19, while clamping blocks 20 and 21 tightly clamp the wire to prevent slippage during forming. Subsequently, once the wire reaches the desired forming state, cylinder 26 activates, pushing cutting block 27 to cut the formed wire, ensuring precise and neat cuts. After cutting, rotating plate 8 tilts, pouring the formed and cut wire into collection box 28 for subsequent processing. The entire process is efficient and automated, ensuring the precision and consistency of wire forming and meeting diverse production needs.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
