Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of wire feeding mechanism, specifically relating to a spring-loaded wire feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The wire feeding mechanism is a key component of a spring machine. Its main function is to continuously and stably feed materials such as steel wire or steel strip into the processing area for the subsequent formation of springs of various shapes. The working principle and design features of this mechanism are mainly reflected in the following aspects: The wire feeding mechanism drives the material to move horizontally or in a specific direction through a reciprocating motion. This reciprocating motion can be achieved by a motor, cylinder, or other type of actuator, ensuring that the material can advance at a set speed and distance.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned device lacks a precise feeding mechanism, and the positioning of the material before processing may not be accurate enough, resulting in inconsistent sizes of the processed spring products and difficulty in guaranteeing quality. Without a material clamping mechanism, the material is prone to slippage, displacement or deformation during processing, affecting processing accuracy and product quality. If the material falls off during processing due to lack of stable clamping, it may cause damage to operators or equipment, increasing the risk of safety accidents.

[0004] Therefore, a spring machine wire feeding mechanism is designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

This mechanism continuously feeds materials into the processing area, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency. Combined with the stable clamping of the clamping rod and limiting wheels, the entire wire feeding process is highly automated, reducing manual intervention and further enhancing production efficiency. The clamping rod and limiting wheels ensure accurate material positioning during movement, which is crucial for spring products requiring high precision processing. Stable material clamping reduces processing errors caused by material deviation or slippage, improving product yield and consistency. The stable clamping of the material during movement reduces friction and collisions with other components of the feeding mechanism, thus reducing wear and failure rates. A stable feeding and clamping mechanism means less downtime for maintenance, extending equipment lifespan. Stable material clamping also reduces the risk of accidental material detachment during movement, lowering the likelihood of safety accidents. The highly automated wire feeding mechanism reduces direct contact between operators and hazardous areas, improving operational safety.

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.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown;

[0026] A spring machine wire feeding mechanism includes a mounting base 1.

[0027] In this implementation plan: the above-mentioned device lacks a precise feeding mechanism 2, and the positioning of the material before processing may not be accurate enough, resulting in inconsistent sizes of the processed spring products and difficulty in guaranteeing quality. Without a material clamping mechanism, the material is prone to slippage, displacement or deformation during processing, affecting processing accuracy and product quality. If the material falls off during processing due to lack of stable clamping, it may cause damage to operators or equipment, increasing the risk of safety accidents. To solve this technical problem, a feeding mechanism 2 is added on this basis.

[0028] Furthermore:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown:

[0030] Based on the above: The feeding mechanism 2 includes a mounting frame 21, a connecting frame 22, and a motor 23. The mounting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the end of the mounting base 1. The connecting frame 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 21. The motor 23 is mounted on the inner side of one end of the connecting frame 22. A first pulley 24 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main shaft of the motor 23. A first feeding wheel 25 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 21. A rotating shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the top of the mounting frame 21. A second pulley 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 26. A connecting piece 28 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 21. One end of the connecting piece 28 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 26. A second gear 210 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the other end of the connecting piece 28. A lever arm 211 is fixedly connected to one side of the second gear 210. A first feeding wheel 25 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the end of the rotating shaft 26. Gear 29, the first gear 29 and the second gear 210 are meshed and connected. A rotating disk 212 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the rotating shaft 26. A second feeding wheel 214 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating disk 212. The first pulley 24 and the second pulley 27 are connected by a belt. A number of actuating grooves 213 are opened in a ring on the inner side of one end of the rotating disk 212. The outer side of the end of the actuating arm 211 intermittently contacts the inner wall of the actuating groove 213. A support rod 215 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the mounting base 1. The end of the support rod 215 is provided with a ring structure. Two clamping rods 216 are rotatably connected to the outer side of the other end of the mounting base 1. A limit wheel 217 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the clamping rod 216. A spring body 218 is provided between the two clamping rods 216. The outer sides of the two ends of the spring body 218 are fixedly connected to one side of the two clamping rods 216 respectively.

[0031] In this implementation scheme: When using the device, the user can move it to a designated position. The user can then place the material to be conveyed between the two limiting wheels 217. The material passes through the first feeding wheel 25 and the second feeding wheel 214, and simultaneously through the annular structure of the support rod 215, which supports the material. The user can then start the motor 23. The motor 23 drives the first pulley 24 on the outer side of its main shaft to rotate. The first pulley 24 drives the second pulley 27 to rotate via a belt. The second pulley 27 rotates simultaneously... The rotation of the first gear 29, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 26, causes the first gear 29 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the first gear 29 drives the second gear 210, which meshes with the first gear 29, to rotate at the end of the connecting member 28. The rotation of the second gear 210 also drives the actuating arm 211 to rotate. The actuating arm 211 intermittently enters the actuating groove 213 of the rotating disk 212, forcing the rotating disk 212 to rotate by actuating the actuating groove 213. This, in turn, drives the second feeding wheel 214, which is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 212, to rotate. The material between the first feeding wheel 25 and the second feeding wheel 214 can be transported. The feeding mechanism 2 can continuously feed the material into the processing area, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency. Combined with the stable clamping of the clamping rod 216 and the limiting wheel 217, the entire wire feeding process can be highly automated, reducing manual intervention and further improving production efficiency. The clamping rod 216 and the limiting wheel 217 can ensure the accuracy of the material position during material movement, which is crucial for spring products that require high-precision processing. Stable material clamping reduces processing errors caused by material deviation or slippage, improving the yield and consistency of the product. The material is stably clamped during movement, reducing friction and collision with other parts of the feeding mechanism 2, thereby reducing wear and failure rate. A stable feeding and clamping mechanism means less downtime for maintenance and extends the service life of the equipment. Stable material clamping reduces the risk of accidental material falling during movement, thereby reducing the possibility of safety accidents. The highly automated wire feeding mechanism reduces direct contact between operators and dangerous areas, improving operational safety.

[0032] Furthermore:

[0033] In an optional embodiment, a storage box 219 is slidably connected to the outer bottom end of the mounting base 1.

[0034] In this implementation plan, installing a storage box 219 in the aforementioned spring machine wire feeding mechanism will bring multiple significant benefits. First, the storage box 219 provides an orderly and easily accessible storage space for storing spare materials, tools, and replacement parts, reducing the time and effort required to find these items, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency of the production line. Second, the reasonable layout and design of the storage box 219 helps maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the work area, reducing operational errors or safety hazards that may be caused by disorganization, and improving the safety and comfort of the working environment. Furthermore, by centrally managing materials and tools, the storage box 219 can also promote the effective use of resources, reduce waste, and monitor inventory in real time, facilitating timely replenishment and allocation of required items, further enhancing the flexibility and responsiveness of production planning. In summary, installing the storage box 219 is a powerful supplement to the function of the spring machine wire feeding mechanism, directly improving production efficiency and safety performance by optimizing material management and the working environment.

[0035] Furthermore:

[0036] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of casters 220 are mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base 1.

[0037] In this implementation plan, installing casters 220 in the wire feeding mechanism of the spring machine will bring many conveniences and advantages. First, casters 220 give the equipment excellent mobility, allowing the entire device to be easily moved and repositioned within the production line or between different work areas, greatly improving the adaptability and configurability of the equipment. This not only helps to quickly adjust the layout according to production needs, but also saves manpower and time costs during equipment maintenance, cleaning, or upgrades. Second, the design of casters 220 allows the device to move smoothly in multiple directions, including forward and backward, left and right, and rotation. This makes it easier for operators to control the equipment and reduces operational difficulties or safety hazards that may result from inconvenient equipment movement. At the same time, this flexibility also helps to cope with various emergencies that may occur on the production site, such as emergency evacuation or temporary adjustments to the production process. In addition, installing casters 220 can also reduce wear and scratches on the ground because the equipment can roll more smoothly when moving, rather than being dragged or slid. This not only protects the floor facilities of the production workshop, but also extends the service life of the equipment itself.

[0038] Working Principle: When using this device, the user can move it to a designated position. The user can then place the material to be conveyed between the two limit wheels 217. The material passes through the first feeding wheel 25 and the second feeding wheel 214, and simultaneously through the annular structure of the support rod 215, which supports the material. The user can then start the motor 23. The motor 23 drives the first pulley 24 on the outer side of its main shaft to rotate. The first pulley 24 drives the second pulley 27 to rotate via a belt. Simultaneously, the rotation of the second pulley 27 drives the first gear 29, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 26, to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 29, in turn, drives the second gear 21, which is meshed with the first gear 29. The first feeding wheel 25 rotates at the end of the connector 28. Simultaneously, the second gear 210 rotates, driving the actuating arm 211 to rotate. The actuating arm 211 intermittently enters the actuating groove 213 of the rotating disk 212, forcing the rotating disk 212 to rotate by actuating the groove 213. This drives the second feeding wheel 214, which is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 212, to rotate, thus conveying the material between the first feeding wheel 25 and the second feeding wheel 214. The feeding mechanism 2 can continuously feed materials into the processing area, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency. Combined with the stable clamping of the clamping rod 216 and the limiting wheel 217, the entire wire feeding process can be highly automated, reducing manual intervention. This further improves production efficiency. The clamping rod 216 and the limiting wheel 217 ensure the accuracy of material position during material movement, which is crucial for spring products requiring high-precision processing. Stable material clamping reduces processing errors caused by material offset or slippage, improving product yield and consistency. The stable clamping of the material during movement reduces friction and collision with other components of the feeding mechanism 2, thereby reducing wear and failure rate. A stable feeding and clamping mechanism means less downtime for maintenance, extending the service life of the equipment. Stable material clamping reduces the risk of accidental material detachment during movement, thus reducing the possibility of safety accidents. The highly automated wire feeding mechanism reduces the workload of operators. Direct contact with hazardous areas enhances operational safety. Installing a storage box 219 in the aforementioned spring machine's wire feeding mechanism offers several significant benefits. First, the storage box 219 provides an organized and easily accessible storage space for spare materials, tools, and replacement parts, reducing the time and effort required to find these items and thus improving the overall operational efficiency of the production line. Second, the rational layout and design of the storage box 219 helps maintain a clean and orderly work area, reducing operational errors or safety hazards that may result from disorganization, and improving the safety and comfort of the working environment. Furthermore, by centrally managing materials and tools, the storage box 219 also promotes efficient resource utilization, reduces waste, and allows for real-time inventory monitoring.The timely replenishment and allocation of required items further enhances the flexibility and responsiveness of production planning. In summary, the installation of storage box 219 is a powerful supplement to the function of the spring machine's wire feeding mechanism. By optimizing material management and the working environment, it directly improves production efficiency and safety performance. Installing casters 220 in the spring machine's wire feeding mechanism brings numerous conveniences and advantages. First, the casters 220 provide excellent mobility, allowing the entire device to be easily moved and repositioned within the production line or between different work areas, greatly improving the equipment's adaptability and configurability. This not only helps in quickly adjusting the layout according to production needs but also facilitates equipment maintenance and cleaning. Firstly, it saves manpower and time costs during upgrades. Secondly, the 220 casters allow the device to move smoothly in multiple directions, including forward, backward, left, right, and rotation. This makes it easier for operators to control the equipment, reducing operational difficulties or safety hazards that may result from inconvenient equipment movement. This flexibility also helps in handling various emergencies that may occur on the production floor, such as emergency evacuations or temporary adjustments to production processes. Furthermore, installing the 220 casters reduces wear and scratches on the floor because the equipment rolls more smoothly rather than being dragged or slipped, protecting the production workshop floor facilities and extending the lifespan of the equipment itself.
