[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a U-shaped wire processing equipment for power production, which solves the problems of traditional U-shaped wire processing equipment, such as scattered processes, low integration, complicated production process, easy workpiece misalignment, fixed key components that cannot be quickly replaced to adapt to different specifications of U-shaped wires, low degree of automation, and poor processing consistency.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A U-shaped wire processing device for power generation includes a workbench with a support frame. The support frame is provided with, from top to bottom, a bending component for bending the U-shaped wire, a lifting component for supporting the U-shaped wire, a centering component for centering the U-shaped wire, and a material unloading component for unloading the U-shaped wire.

[0006] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with a disassembly plate at the top and a set of first fixing plates, two sets of second fixing plates and a set of third fixing plates on the back.

A guide groove is provided on the front of the support frame directly below the disassembly plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the bending assembly includes a first cylinder mounted on the upper surface of the disassembly plate. The output end of the first cylinder has a sliding block that penetrates the disassembly plate. The sliding block can slide within the guide groove. A bending head is provided on the sliding block. The bending head is a replaceable design and is connected to the sliding block by bolts. A bending groove is provided on the support frame located directly below the bending head. The bending groove is a replaceable design and is connected to the support frame by bolts. The bending head and the bending groove are matched and can both be replaced according to different diameter U-shaped wires and different bending diameter requirements.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a lead screw rotatably connected between two sets of second fixed plates. The lead screw is a bidirectional lead screw with a first conical tooth at its middle position.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Combination Figures 1-6 The U-shaped wire processing equipment for power production shown includes a workbench 1, on which a support frame 2 is installed. The support frame 2 is arranged from top to bottom with a bending component 3 for bending the U-shaped wire, a lifting component 4 for supporting the U-shaped wire, a centering component 5 for centering the U-shaped wire, and a material unloading component 6 for unloading the U-shaped wire. The support frame 2 has a three-dimensional layered design, which arranges the core components of bending, lifting, centering, and unloading in an orderly manner. This allows the entire process of U-shaped wire from feeding to forming and unloading to be completed efficiently in the same equipment, reducing the risk of U-shaped wire deviation and deformation during process transitions, greatly improving processing accuracy and production efficiency. At the same time, the compact structure significantly reduces the equipment's footprint and optimizes the space utilization of the power production workshop.

[0026] The support frame 2 has a disassembly plate 201 at its top and a set of first fixing plates 202, two sets of second fixing plates 203, and a set of third fixing plates 204 on its back. The support frame 2 has two sets of first rectangular holes 205 located between the two sets of second fixing plates 203 and two sets of second rectangular holes 206 located below the first rectangular holes 205. Guide holes 207 are located on both sides of the third fixing plate 204. A feeding port 208 is located at the bottom of the support frame 2. The feeding port 208 is linked with the unloading component 6 to allow the processed U-shaped wire to slide smoothly out of the equipment, forming a smooth processing and feeding cycle, avoiding the accumulation of finished products and affecting production. A guide groove 209 is located on the front of the support frame 2 directly below the disassembly plate 201. The disassembly plate 201 cooperates with the guide groove 209 to facilitate the disassembly and sliding of the bending component 3. When it is necessary to inspect or replace the bending component 3, it can be quickly disassembled and pulled out along the guide groove 209, reducing maintenance time.

[0027] The bending assembly 3 includes a first cylinder 301 mounted on the upper surface of the disassembly plate 201. A sliding block 302 is provided at the output end of the first cylinder 301, penetrating the disassembly plate 201. The sliding block 302 can slide within the guide groove 209. A bending head 303 is provided on the sliding block 302. The bending head 303 is replaceable and connected to the sliding block 302 by bolts. A bending groove 304 is provided on the support frame 2 directly below the bending head 303. The bending groove 304 is replaceable and connected to the support frame 2 by bolts. The elbow 303 and the bending groove 304 are matched and can be replaced according to different diameter U-shaped wires and different bending diameter requirements. Operators only need to simply remove the bolts and replace the mold of the corresponding size to quickly adjust the processing parameters of the equipment, which solves the problem that the molds of traditional equipment are difficult to adapt to multiple specifications of products, and improves the versatility of the equipment and production flexibility. The first cylinder 301 serves as the power source, pushing the sliding block 302 to move precisely down along the guide groove 209, which drives the bending head 303 to cooperate with the bending groove 304 to apply pressure to the U-shaped wire to complete the bending.

[0028] The lifting assembly 4 includes a lead screw 401 rotatably connected between two sets of second fixed plates 203. The lead screw 401 is a bidirectional lead screw, with a first conical tooth 402 located in the middle. A motor 403 is mounted on the first fixed plate 202, and a second conical tooth 404 is located at the output end of the motor 403. The first conical tooth 402 and the second conical tooth 404 mesh and transmit power. Moving blocks 405 are connected to both ends of the lead screw 401 via ball nuts. A fixed rod 406 is movably connected to the moving block 405 and can move within a first rectangular hole 205. A lifting wheel 407 is rotatably connected to the fixed rod 406. The 407 has a groove that matches the diameter of the U-shaped wire. The fixed rod 406 and the lifting wheel 407 are integrated and replaceable, allowing them to be replaced according to different diameter U-shaped wires. The motor 403 drives the lead screw 401 to rotate through the meshing of the first conical tooth 402 and the second conical tooth 404, causing the moving blocks 405 on both sides to move closer or further away synchronously. This adjusts the spacing of the lifting wheels 407 to accommodate U-shaped wires of different widths and also assists in centering, ensuring that the U-shaped wire is in a precise position before bending. The replaceable lifting wheel 407 and fixed rod 406 further enhance the equipment's adaptability to different specifications of U-shaped wires and avoid processing deviations caused by unstable lifting.

[0029] The centering component 5 includes a second cylinder 501 mounted on the upper surface of the third fixed plate 204. The second cylinder 501 is a bidirectional cylinder, and centering blocks 502 are provided at both output ends of the second cylinder 501. The centering blocks 502 can move within the second rectangular hole 206. The second cylinder 501 drives the two centering blocks 502 to move towards or away from each other along the second rectangular hole 206, accurately adjusting the lateral position of the U-shaped wire. After the lifting component 4 lifts the U-shaped wire, the centering component 5 quickly intervenes. Through the squeezing or spreading action of the centering blocks 502, the center line of the U-shaped wire coincides with the center line of the mold of the bending component 3. This effectively solves the bending deformation problem caused by the centering deviation of the U-shaped wire in traditional equipment, ensures the accuracy of the bending process, and improves the quality and consistency of the finished U-shaped wire.

[0030] The unloading assembly 6 includes a third cylinder 601 mounted on the lower surface of the third fixed plate 204. A concave block 602 is provided at the output end of the third cylinder 601. Push plates 603 are provided at both ends of the concave block 602 through guide holes 207. The third cylinder 601 pushes the concave block 602 to move along the guide holes 207, which drives the push plates 603 at both ends to push the processed U-shaped wire out of the support frame 2, so that it slides out of the equipment through the discharge port 208. The guide holes 207 provide stable guidance for the unloading assembly 6, ensuring that the push plates 603 run smoothly and avoiding uneven force on the U-shaped wire during the unloading process, which may cause collision and deformation. The unloading assembly 6 works closely with bending, lifting and other components to realize a fully automated process for U-shaped wire processing, reduce manual intervention, improve production efficiency, and avoid the safety hazards that may be caused by manual unloading.
