[0014] This utility model provides an automatic crimping machine wire feeding device for soft and thin wires, including a base, a first drive assembly, an encoder assembly, a wire feeding assembly, and a second drive assembly mounted on the base. The first drive assembly drives the encoder assembly to move, and the second drive assembly drives the wire feeding assembly to move. That is, the first drive assembly drives the encoder assembly to move, and the second drive assembly drives the wire feeding assembly to feed the wire. In order to reduce the bending of the wire, the encoder assembly is located at the input end of the wire feeding assembly so that the wire passes through the encoder assembly first. With this configuration, when the wire passes through the encoder assembly, the encoder assembly detects the length of the wire. Since the output end of the encoder assembly is directly connected to the input end of the wire feeding assembly, the wire directly enters the wire feeding assembly after passing through the encoder.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] This specific embodiment provides a soft and thin wire feeding device for an automatic crimping machine, which solves the technical problem in the prior art where the encoder assembly is close to the wire outlet of the wire feeding mechanism, causing the wire to be easily bent and blocked.

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the utility model as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete contents of the structures represented in the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary for the solution of the utility model as described in the claims.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides an automatic crimping machine wire feeding device for soft and thin wires, including a base 1, a first drive assembly 2, an encoder assembly 3, a wire feeding assembly 4, and a second drive assembly 8 disposed on the base 1. The first drive assembly 2 drives the encoder assembly 3 to move, and the second drive assembly 8 drives the wire feeding assembly 4 to move. That is, the first drive assembly drives the encoder assembly 3 to move, and the second drive assembly 8 drives the wire feeding assembly 4 to feed the wire. In order to reduce the bending of the wire, the encoder assembly 3 is located at the input end of the wire feeding assembly 4 so that the wire passes through the encoder assembly 3 first. With this configuration, when the wire passes through the encoder assembly 3, the encoder assembly 3 detects the length of the wire. Since the output end of the encoder assembly 3 is directly connected to the input end of the wire feeding assembly 4, the wire directly enters the wire feeding assembly 4 after passing through the encoder. The wire feeding assembly 4 feeds the wire outward under the drive of the second drive assembly 8. This reduces the likelihood of wire blockage and bending caused by placing the encoder assembly 3 at the wire outlet of the base 1.

[0022] In a further optimized design, the encoder assembly 3 includes a power wheel assembly 31 and a driven wheel assembly 32 mounted on the base 1. A power supply line passes through a gap between the power wheel assembly 31 and the driven wheel assembly 32. The first drive assembly 2 drives the power wheel assembly 31 to move, which in turn drives the wire to move. The wire then drives the driven wheel assembly 32 to rotate. Thus, the movement of the first drive assembly 2 drives the power wheel assembly 32 to move, which in turn drives the wire to travel. Simultaneously, the driven wheel assembly detects the distance traveled by the wire. The specific measurement distance of the wire by the encoder assembly 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] The scheme is further optimized. The wire feeding assembly 4 includes a wire feeding fixed track assembly 41 and a wire feeding movable track assembly 42. The second drive assembly 8 drives the wire feeding movable track assembly 42 to move. The power supply line passes through the wire feeding fixed track assembly 41 and the wire feeding movable track assembly 42. The wire drives the wire feeding fixed track assembly 41 to rotate. Specifically, the wire feeding fixed track assembly 41 includes first support wheels on both sides and first tracks sleeved on the two first support wheels. The wire feeding movable track assembly includes second support wheels on both sides and second tracks sleeved on the two second support wheels. The two sides of the first track 41 and the second track 44 that are close to each other form a space through which the power supply line passes. Under the drive of the second drive assembly 8, the second track 44 of the wire feeding movable track assembly 42 moves to transport the wire downward, thereby ensuring the straightness of the wire.

[0024] To further optimize the design, in order to ensure close contact between the wire feeding moving track assembly 42 and the wire feeding stationary track assembly 41 and the wire, at least one first support column is provided inside the wire feeding stationary track assembly 41, and at least one second support column is provided inside the wire feeding moving track assembly 42. The first support columns are evenly distributed along the conveying direction of the wire feeding stationary track assembly 41, and the first track 43 of the wire feeding stationary track assembly 41 is fitted onto the first support column. The second support columns are evenly distributed along the conveying direction of the wire feeding moving track assembly 42, and the second track 44 of the wire feeding stationary track assembly 41 is fitted onto the second support column. That is, the first support column 45 is set inside the collar formed by the first track 41, and the second support column 46 is set inside the collar formed by the second track 42. This ensures close contact between the wire and the first track 43 and the second track 44, increases the friction between the wire and the first track 41 and the second track 42, and ensures that the wire can be conveyed outward.

[0025] To further optimize the solution and ensure the balance of the wire during the transmission process, the wire feeding drive track assembly 42 of the wire feeding assembly 4 and the power wheel assembly 31 of the encoder assembly 3 are set on both sides of the wire. During the transmission process, the wire is subjected to force on both sides, reducing the possibility of the wire bending.

[0026] To further optimize the design, since there is a certain distance between the encoder assembly 3 and the wire feeding assembly 4, a transition conduit 6 is provided between the encoder assembly 3 and the wire feeding assembly 4 to reduce the bending of the wire. The wire is fed into the wire feeding assembly 4 through the transition conduit 6. The transition conduit is designed to be diamond-shaped, so that the transition conduit directly enters the transition conduit 6 at the output end of the encoder assembly 3, reducing the bending of the wire. The transition conduit 6 is fixed on the base 1 to reduce the possibility of movement.

[0027] To further optimize the design and facilitate the smooth entry of the power cable into the encoder assembly 3, the base 1 is equipped with an inlet conduit 5 through which the power cable passes. The output end of the inlet conduit 5 is triangular, which facilitates insertion into the input end of the encoder assembly 3.

[0028] To further optimize the design, in order to facilitate the smooth discharge of the wire from the wire feeding assembly 4, a wire outlet conduit 7 is provided on the base 1. The wire outlet conduit 7 is located at the outlet end of the wire feeding assembly 4. The input end of the wire outlet conduit 7 is set as a triangle, which facilitates insertion into the output end of the wire feeding assembly 4.
