[0044] The first movable plate 201 and the second movable plate 202 are provided with a cam 206 matched with the concave wheel 205 through the spacing adjustable structure 5, the spacing adjustable structure 5 is used to move the cam 206 so as to adjust the spacing between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206, the spacing adjustable structure 5 is convenient for the pull wire 11 to pass through or clamp the pull wire 11, and meanwhile, the spacing adjustable structure 5 can be matched with different specifications and models of the pull wire 11, so that the application range is wide, and the spacing adjustable structure 5 is not limited to a certain specification and model of the pull wire 11;
[0045] The first connecting block 203 is provided with the first force adding rod 3, and the middle and lower part of the connecting seat 1 is provided with the second force adding rod 4, in use, the cam 206 is moved through the spacing adjustable structure 5, so that the spacing between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206 is increased, then the end of the pull wire 11 is passed through a certain length, generally 40-50 cm, from the gap between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206, the cam 206 is reversely moved through the spacing adjustable structure 5, so that the gap between the cam 206 and the concave wheel 205 is reduced and the pull wire 11 is clamped, then the first force adding rod 3 is rotated, so that the cam 206 rotates around the first rotating shaft 204, in the rotating process of the cam 206, the cam 206 extrudes the pull wire 11 to bend along the groove of the concave wheel 205, so that the production of the pull wire 11 is realized.
[0046] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the embodiment, as preferred, the spacing adjustable structure 5 comprises a third movable plate 501, a fourth movable plate 502 and a second connecting block 503, one end of the third movable plate 501 and one end of the fourth movable plate 502 are respectively arranged at two ends of the second connecting block 503 to jointly form a U-shaped structure and are located between the first movable plate 201 and the second movable plate 202, the thickness of the second connecting block 503 is greater than the thickness of the third movable plate 501 and the fourth movable plate 502, that is, the two sides of the U-shaped structure formed by the third movable plate 501, the fourth movable plate 502 and the second connecting block 503 are respectively in sliding contact with the first movable plate 201 and the second movable plate 202;
[0047] The first movable plate 201 and the second movable plate 202 are symmetrically provided with a sliding groove 504, the second rotating shaft 505 is arranged in the sliding groove 504, and the cam 206 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 505;
[0048] The first connecting block 203 is provided with a threaded hole in the center position, and a screw rod 506 matched with the threaded hole is arranged in the threaded hole;
[0049] The center of the second connecting block 503 is provided with a circular hole, one end of the lead screw 506 is located in the circular hole and the two are movably connected, generally bearing connection, the other end of the lead screw 506 is connected with one end of the first force rod 3, by rotating the first force rod 3, the lead screw 506 moves along the threaded hole, the lead screw 506 will drive the second connecting block 503 to move, thereby making the second rotating shaft 505 move along the sliding groove 504, that is, the cam 206 is close to or away from the concave wheel 205, so as to adjust the distance between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206.
[0050] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the embodiment, in order to avoid the distance between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206 being changed randomly by rotating the first force rod 3 in the bending process, the upper end surface of the second connecting block 503 is provided with a threaded hole which is in communication with the circular hole, and a jam nut 7 matched with the threaded hole is arranged in the threaded hole, after adjusting the distance between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206, the jam nut 7 is tightened to prevent the lead screw 506 from rotating, thereby preventing the distance between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206 from being changed randomly.
[0051] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 In the embodiment, since the end of the pull wire 11 passes through a certain length, generally 40-50 cm, from the gap between the concave wheel 205 and the cam 206, the end of the pull wire 11 will randomly swing, which is not conducive to positioning and bending. Therefore, the second rotating shaft 505 is provided with an auxiliary positioning structure 6.
[0052] The auxiliary positioning structure 6 includes an extension plate 601, and the extension plate 601 includes a fixed plate 6011 and an adjusting plate 6012.
[0053] The lower end surface of the adjusting plate 6012 is provided with a second sliding groove 504 matched with the fixed plate 6011, one end of the fixed plate 6011 is located in the second sliding groove 504 and the two are tightly matched, the other end of the fixed plate 6011 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the second rotating shaft 505 close to the second movable plate 202, that is, the fixed plate 6011 cannot rotate around the second rotating shaft 505, and in the initial state, the lower end surface of the adjusting plate 6012 is in contact with the upper end surface of the second movable plate 202.
[0054] The upper end of the adjusting plate 6012 facing the second movable plate 202 is provided with a fixed rod 602 with a rectangular cross section and located directly above the cam 206. The other end of the fixed rod 602 is provided with a baffle 603. The fixed rod 602 with a rectangular cross section is used to ensure that the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605 can only move along the length of the fixed rod 602 and will not rotate around the fixed rod 602.
[0055] The fixing rod 602 is symmetrically fitted with a first clamping plate 604 and a second clamping plate 605 via an elastic component. The upper surfaces of the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605 are flush with the upper surface of the adjusting plate 6012. The first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605 are used to clamp the pull wire 11 and ensure that it is in the center position. By adjusting the relative lengths of the fixing plate 6011 and the adjusting plate 6012, the height of the end of the pull wire 11 is adapted. By clamping and fixing the end of the pull wire 11 with the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605, it can be prevented from swinging randomly and kept in the center, which is convenient for the cam 206 to squeeze and bend.
[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the elastic component includes a first compression spring 606 disposed between the first clamping plate 604 and the adjusting plate 6012;
[0057] A second compression spring 607 is provided between the second clamping plate 605 and the baffle 603, and the second compression spring 607 is exactly the same as the first compression spring 606.
[0058] In the initial state, the first compression spring 606 and the second compression spring 607 are in the natural elongation state, and the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605 are in contact with each other and located in the middle of the fixed rod. In use, only the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605 need to be separated, and the end of the pull wire 11 is placed between the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605, while keeping the end of the pull wire 11 flush with the upper end surface of the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605. Since the second compression spring 607 is completely the same in specification as the first compression spring 606, when the pull wire 11 is located between the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605, the pressure on the second compression spring 607 is the same as that on the first compression spring 606, so that the pull wire 11 can be kept centered, facilitating the extrusion and bending of the cam 206. It should be noted that during the extrusion and bending of the cam 206 on the pull wire 11, the pull wire 11 may be separated from the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605. The positioning and extrusion is suitable for the initial extrusion stage, and the pull wire 11 may be separated from the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605 in the subsequent stage. However, since the extrusion in the early stage causes part of the bent area of the pull wire 11 to be located in the groove of the concave wheel 205, the groove of the concave wheel 205 can be relied on for positioning, and the subsequent separation of the pull wire 11 from the first clamping plate 604 and the second clamping plate 605 does not affect the continued extrusion and bending.
[0059] As shown in Figure 5 In this embodiment, in order to conveniently determine the length of the end of the pull wire 11, a first scale line 8 is arranged on the surface of the fixed plate 6011 away from the second movable plate 202, and preferably, the 0 scale line of the first scale line 8 is flush with the upper end surface of the second movable plate 202.
[0060] A second scale line 9 is arranged on one side surface of the adjusting plate 6012 and located on the same side as the first scale line 8. By withdrawing the adjusting plate 6012, the vertical distance between the upper end surface of the adjusting plate 6012 and the concave wheel 205 is the required length of the end of the pull wire 11, that is, the length of the adjusting plate 6012 plus the withdrawn length is the length of the end of the pull wire 11.
[0061] As shown in Figure 6As shown, in order to easily and labor-saving rotate the first force bar 3, the outer side of the first force bar 3 and the second force bar 4 is sleeved with a force arm lengthening pipe 10, the length of the force arm lengthening pipe 10 is determined according to actual situation, the force arm lengthening pipe 10 is in interference fit with the first force bar 3 or the second force bar 4, the force arm lengthening pipe 10 is pulled outwards in use, the force arm is lengthened, the first force bar 3 can be rotated more easily and labor-saving to realize the bending of the pull wire 11, when not in use, the force arm lengthening pipe 10 is pushed inwards to reduce the occupied space, in addition, a layer of silica gel protective sleeve can be arranged at the end of the force arm lengthening pipe 10 away from the connecting seat 1 to avoid the direct contact between the hand and the force arm lengthening pipe 10 and improve the comfort of holding.
[0062] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application, any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
