Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring machines, and in particular to a spring machine that can coil the tail of a steel wire. Background Technology
[0002] Curved steel wire is mainly used in areas where collisions may occur or in the making of decorative crafts. The curved shape of the wire provides greater stability, making the area with the curved wire less prone to damage. In addition, curved-shaped crafts are more aesthetically pleasing.
[0003] In existing technologies, when workers process an arc-shaped steel wire using the traditional circular cutting method, the first step is to cut the straight steel wire into a straight section using a tool. Then, the wire is subsequently wound into a circle using a winding assembly. This means the wire is cut at the straight section, and because there is no support at the end of the straight section, the winding assembly cannot wind the wire into an arc at the cut end. Consequently, the radius and radius of the arc at the end of the wire cannot be consistent. This necessitates further processing, thus complicating the process.
[0004] Furthermore, existing spring winding machines typically only wind wires of one cross-sectional diameter. For wires with different cross-sectional dimensions, it's usually necessary to change the winding fixture. This not only increases manufacturing costs but also requires operators to spend time changing the fixture, thus reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 6 A preferred embodiment of the spring machine for coiling the tail of a steel wire according to the present invention will be described in detail below. The spring machine for coiling the tail of a steel wire is used to coil a steel wire 800 and cut the steel wire 800.
[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 6 The spring machine for winding the tail of the steel wire includes a worktable 10, a pair of cutting components 20 and a pair of winding components 30.
[0033] A discharge section 11 is formed in the middle of the workbench 10, and the discharge section 11 forms a vertical material channel for the steel wire 800 to pass through from bottom to top.
[0034] refer to Figures 1 to 3 Each cutting assembly 20 includes a cutting member 21 and a driving member 22, wherein the cutting member 21 is drivably connected to the driving member 22. The cutting members 21 of each pair of cutting assemblies 20 are symmetrically arranged on the worktable 10 and located on both sides of the discharge section 11, and the discharge section 11 is located at a cut 2101 formed by the two cutting members 21, so that the steel wire 800 located in the cut 2101 can be cut after the cutting member 21 is driven by the driving member 22.
[0035] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 Each of the winding members 30 includes a winding reel 31, wherein each winding reel 31 is rotatable about a horizontal direction and at least partially offset in the vertical direction on the worktable 10. The winding reels 31 of each pair of winding members 30 are positioned between the discharge section 11 and the cut 2101 formed by the cutting member 21. In this way, the steel wire 800 fed from the discharge section 11 will first be wound into a predetermined arc shape by the winding reel 31, and then the arc-shaped steel wire 800 is further fed to the cut 2101, where it is cut by the cutting member 21.
[0036] Preferably, each of the winding reels 31 has a circumferential groove 3101 formed in the middle along the circumferential direction to accommodate the steel wire 800. Those skilled in the art will understand that this ensures that the steel wire 800 will not deviate from its predetermined direction when it is wound by the winding reels 31.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, each of the driving components 22 includes a sliding rod 221, a driving unit 222, and a transmission unit 223. One end of the sliding rod 221 is connected to the transmission unit 223, and the cutting component 21 is connected to the other end of the sliding rod 221. The transmission unit 223 is drivably connected to the driving unit 222 so that it can be driven by the driving unit 222 to cause the sliding rod 221 to slide in a horizontal direction relative to the discharge section 11, thereby enabling the cutting component 21 mounted on the other end of the sliding rod 221 to simultaneously close or open the cut 2101 to form the cut 2101.
[0038] Those skilled in the art will understand that when the cut 2101 is opened, the wire 800 is allowed to enter the cut 2101; when the cut 2101 is closed, the wire 800 located in the cut 2101 will be cut off.
[0039] More specifically, the transmission unit 223 includes a cam 2231 and a rocker arm 2232.

Those skilled in the art will understand that when the sliding rod 221 in one of the pair of driving members 22 slides toward the direction of the cut 2101, it can cut the wire 800 located in the cut 2101.
[0040] Preferably, the cutting assembly 20 further includes a reset member 23, wherein the reset member 23 includes at least one reset spring 231 and a fixed seat 232, wherein the fixed seat 232 is fixed to the worktable 10.

In this way, when the sliding rod 221 is driven to move toward the discharge section 11, the reset spring 231 is compressed. After the sliding rod 221 drives the cutting member 21 to cut the steel wire 800, the driving unit 222 drives the cam 2231 to rotate in the opposite direction. Under the restoring force of the return spring 231, the sliding rod 221 moves away from the discharge part 11, thereby driving the swing arm 2232 to swing back.
[0041] refer to Figure 4In another embodiment, the reset member 23 includes at least one first reset spring 231, a first fixed base 232, at least one first guide rod 233, and a first sliding block 234.

The sliding rod 221 is disposed through the first sliding block 234, and a boss is formed at the end of the sliding rod 221 away from the discharge part 11, so that after the sliding rod 221 slides a predetermined distance toward the discharge part 11, the first sliding block 234 can be driven to slide by the boss.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first return spring 231 is sleeved on the first guide rod 233 and located between the first sliding block 234 and the first fixed seat 232, so that the first return spring 231 can be compressed after the first sliding block 234 slides a predetermined distance.
[0043] In this way, the first sliding rod 221 can drive the cutting member 21 to slide back and forth in the direction close to or away from the discharge part 11, thereby realizing the closing or opening of the cut 2101.
[0044] Preferably, in one embodiment, the rolling member 30 includes a pair of adjustment components 32, wherein each adjustment component 32 includes a stationary mounting base 321, a movable mounting base 322 and an adjustment member 323.
[0045] The movable mounting base 322 is slidable relative to the stationary mounting base 321 in a direction toward or away from the discharge section 11, wherein the stationary mounting base 321 is fixed to the worktable 10. Furthermore, the winding reel 31 is rotatably mounted to the movable mounting base 322.
[0046] The adjusting component 323 includes a turntable 3231 and a driving arm 3232, and the adjusting assembly 32 includes a moving rod 325. The turntable 3231 is rotatably mounted on the worktable 10 about a vertical direction. One end of the driving arm 3232 is pressed against the outer wall of the turntable 3231 and is located on the path of rotation of the outer wall of the turntable 3231. The other end of the driving arm 3232 is hinged to the moving rod 325, and the other end of the moving rod 325 is fixed to the movable mounting base 322.
[0047] Understandably, when the turntable 3231 is driven to rotate a predetermined angle, the driving arm 3232 will swing by a predetermined arc, causing the moving rod 325 to drive the stationary mounting base 321 to slide a predetermined distance toward the discharge section 11. In this way, by adjusting a pair of adjusting components 32, the distance between a pair of winding wheels 31 can be adjusted, allowing the spring machine for winding the tail of the coiled steel wire to be used to wind steel wires 800 with different cross-sectional dimensions.
[0048] Preferably, each of the adjustment components 32 further includes a recovery component 324.
[0049] The return member 324 includes at least one return spring 3241. The movable mounting base 322 is connected to the end of the moving rod 325 near the discharge section 11, while the end of the moving rod 325 away from the discharge section 11 or the movable mounting base 322 is hinged to the drive arm 3232.
[0050] In this way, the movable rod 325 is slidably disposed on the stationary mounting base 321. The return spring 3241 is sleeved on the movable rod 325 in a compressed manner, with one end of the return spring 3241 pressing against the stationary mounting base 321, and the other end of the return spring 3241 pressing against the bosses formed between the movable rod 325 and the transmission unit 223, that is, between the bosses formed on the end of the drive arm 3232.
[0051] In this way, when the moving rod 325 is driven to move towards the discharge section 11, the return spring 3241 is compressed. After the moving rod 325 drives the stationary mounting base 321 to move a predetermined distance towards the discharge section 11, the distance between the supports of the two winding wheels 31 will be determined. When it is necessary to increase the distance between the two winding wheels 31, it is only necessary to rotate the turntable 3231 in the opposite direction, and the moving rod 325 will move away from the discharge section 11 under the restoring force of the return spring 3241, thereby driving the driving arm 3232 to swing back.
[0052] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In another embodiment, the return member 324 includes at least one return spring 3241, at least one second guide rod 3242, and a second sliding block 3243. The second guide rod 3242 is arranged parallel to the moving rod 325.

[0053] In this embodiment, the return spring 3241 is sleeved on the second guide rod 3242 and located between the second sliding block 3243 and the static mounting base 321, so that the return spring 3241 can be compressed after the second sliding block 3243 slides a predetermined distance.
[0054] Those skilled in the art will understand that this method allows the spacing between the two winding wheels 31 to be adjusted, thereby enabling the spring machine at the tail of the coilable steel wire to wind steel wires 800 with different cross-sectional dimensions.
[0055] Preferably, the adjustment assembly 32 further includes an adjustment motor 326, wherein the turntable 3231 is rotatably connected to the adjustment motor 326.
