Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spark plug processing technology, specifically a platinum wire spacing cutting mechanism for welding the ignition contact of the spark plug side electrode. Background Technology
[0002] A spark plug, also known as a spark nozzle, is a component in a gasoline engine that uses high-voltage electricity to generate an electric spark in the cylinder. A spark plug consists of a shell, an insulator, a center electrode, and a side electrode. When welding the ignition contacts on the side electrode of the spark plug, the platinum wire needs to be cut at a precise distance before being welded to the side electrode. However, because the platinum wire at the ignition contacts is relatively short, manual cutting is inaccurate and inefficient.
[0003] There is an invention patent with application number 202311462594.3 entitled "A Spark Plug Side Electrode Welding Equipment". It discloses a technical solution. The feeding device includes a winding component disposed on the welding device for feeding the side electrode alloy wire, a first rotary drive component for driving the winding component to rotate and feed the wire, a positioning component for feeding the side electrode alloy wire through, and a cutting component slidably disposed on one side of the positioning component for cutting the side electrode alloy wire.
[0004] However, the above solution has the following problems: 1. The method involves welding the alloy wire to the spark plug housing first and then cutting the alloy wire. Because the alloy electrode welded to the housing is very short, usually less than 1mm, taking 0.9 as an example, after welding, about 0.3 of the alloy electrode will melt, so that the height changes from 0.9 to about 0.6. This results in the cutting edge of the cutting tool near the housing side, which cuts this 0.6 height, being very thin. Therefore, the life of this cutting tool near the spark plug housing side is extremely low.
[0005] 2. Because the cutting blade on the side near the outer shell cannot be infinitely thinned, it is limited by this and the minimum cutting height cannot be as low as that of this patent. This patent can achieve cutting and transport of the side electrode as long as the height of the side electrode is greater than the diameter of the alloy wire. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide a platinum wire spacing cutting mechanism for welding spark plug side electrode ignition contacts, which can ensure the spacing cutting of platinum wire with high precision and increase the life of the cutting tool.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0008] A platinum wire spacing cutting mechanism for welding spark plug side electrode ignition contacts includes a base, a feeding mechanism disposed on the base for conveying platinum wire at intervals, an upper die disposed on the base, and a lower die disposed on the base that moves left and right for cooperating with the upper die to cut the platinum wire. Both the upper die and the lower die are provided with through holes that cooperate with the platinum wire.
[0009] Furthermore, the unloading mechanism includes a fixed frame disposed on the base, an upper clamping mechanism disposed on the fixed frame, and a lower clamping mechanism disposed on the fixed frame and moving up and down on the fixed frame, wherein the fixed frame is provided with a first groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper clamping mechanism includes an upper fixing block fixed in the first groove and an upper clamping block disposed in the first groove and movable within the first groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixing frame is equipped with an upper hydraulic cylinder that drives the upper clamping block to move left and right;
[0012] The front end of the fixing frame is provided with a positioning block, and the front ends of the upper fixing block and the upper clamping block are both provided with positioning grooves that cooperate with the positioning block.
[0013] Furthermore, the lower clamping mechanism includes a lifting frame disposed in the first groove and moving up and down within the first groove. The front end of the lifting frame is provided with a second groove, and the second groove is provided with a lower fixing block fixed within the second groove and a lower clamping block that moves within the second groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the fixed frame is provided with a lifting hydraulic cylinder for driving the lifting frame to rise and fall;
[0015] The lifting frame is equipped with a lower hydraulic cylinder on its side to drive the lower clamping block to move.
[0016] Furthermore, the lower end of the fixed frame is provided with a limiting block that limits the downward movement of the lifting frame.
[0017] Furthermore, the base is equipped with a cutting hydraulic cylinder that drives the lower mold to move left and right.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. This utility model includes a base, a feeding mechanism mounted on the base for intermittent, fixed-distance feeding of platinum wire, an upper die mounted on the base, and a lower die mounted on the base that moves left and right for cooperating with the upper die to cut the platinum wire. Both the upper and lower dies have through holes for cooperating with the platinum wire. During operation, the feeding mechanism achieves a fixed-distance downward movement of the platinum wire, aligning the through holes of the upper and lower dies. The lower end of the platinum wire passes through the through holes on both dies. Then, the lower die moves to the left, cutting the platinum wire. The platinum wire remains in the through hole on the lower die, thus achieving the feeding of the platinum wire. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and it can achieve fixed-distance cutting of the platinum wire with high precision.
[0020] 2. This utility model has a limiting block at the lower end of the fixed frame to limit the downward movement of the lifting frame. By setting the limiting block, the downward distance of the lifting frame is fixed and the length of the cut platinum wire is fixed. Attached Figure Description
