Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper wire processing, and in particular to a tin-plated copper wire centering device. Background Technology

[0002] Copper wire processing involves a series of processes such as drawing, annealing, tin plating, and stranding to create copper wire products of specific shapes, sizes, and properties to meet the needs of various industries. The use of a tin-plated copper wire centering device is crucial in copper wire processing. It ensures that the copper wire is precisely centered in the tin plating bath during the tin plating process, guaranteeing uniform tin plating, improving the copper wire's corrosion resistance, solderability, and electrical properties. Quick and accurate centering reduces manual operation, increases the efficiency of automated production lines, lowers the defect rate, and prevents uneven wear on equipment molds due to positional deviations during subsequent processing, extending equipment lifespan. Furthermore, it ensures the positional accuracy of each copper wire, maintaining consistent product performance and enhancing the product's market competitiveness in demanding industries such as electronics and electrical engineering.

[0003] Existing tin-plated copper wire alignment devices operate on various principles. Mechanical positioning relies on clamps, guide wheels, or V-grooves of precise size and shape to force the copper wire into position. The photoelectric detection and feedback principle uses photoelectric sensors to collect information on the copper wire's positional deviation, which is then calculated by the control system to drive motors and other components to adjust the position. The magnetic field principle uses electromagnetic induction to cause the tin-plated copper wire to automatically return to its center position under a force pointing towards the center in a magnetic field. The pneumatic principle controls the jet nozzle to spray air when a deviation is detected, using the airflow force to push the copper wire back to the center. Each principle has its applicable scenarios and advantages.

[0004] When using the tinned copper wire alignment device in practice, a prominent problem gradually emerges: when it is necessary to adjust the position or perform maintenance on key components of the device, such as the moving block, the process of unlocking the moving block is extremely cumbersome. Operators often have to operate multiple buttons in sequence, pry open complex locking mechanisms, and even use specific tools to complete a series of strictly sequential steps in order to successfully unlock the moving block. This process not only consumes a lot of time, but also requires operators to have a high level of professional proficiency. The complicated unlocking operation seriously restricts the efficiency of the equipment, frequently interrupts the production rhythm, and greatly affects the high efficiency that the tinned copper wire alignment device should have, becoming a major obstacle to improving overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a tin-plated copper wire centering device, which aims to improve the problem that complex operations are required to unlock the moving block during equipment use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tin-plated copper wire centering device, comprising a fixed box, a plurality of connecting plates fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed box, a support component provided inside each connecting plate, a movable block slidably connected inside the fixed box, limit posts fixedly connected to both sides of the movable block, a plurality of sliding grooves provided on the outer wall of each limit post, a plurality of limit strips slidably connected to the outer wall of each limit post, and a fixed component provided on the outer wall of each limit post;

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A connecting column is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block, and a fixed wheel is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting column.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] Both sides of the connecting column are fixedly connected to fixing rods, and each fixing rod has multiple connecting holes on its outer wall.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] Each of the fixed rods has a telescopic rod slidably connected inside, and each of the telescopic rods has a fixing pin slidably connected inside.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] Each of the fixed pins is fixedly connected to a limiting plate at one end, and each of the limiting plates is fixedly connected to a handle on one side.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the fixing ring is first held and pressed inward, causing the extrusion strip to retract into the fixing ring and the limiting strip to disengage from the deepest part of the sliding groove. Then, the fixing ring is rotated to allow the limiting strip to slide out from the sliding groove. After that, the fixing ring is released, allowing the limiting block to disengage from the sliding groove under the action of the spring. This achieves the effect of easily unlocking and moving the moving block during equipment use, avoiding the problem of needing complicated operations to unlock the moving block during equipment use, thereby improving the efficiency of the tin-plated copper wire alignment device.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, first grasp the handle and pull it outward to disengage the fixing pin from the telescopic rod. After removing both fixing pins, grasp the telescopic rod and move it upward to change the height of the limiting wheel to the required height. Then, reinsert the fixing pin into the corresponding connection hole. This allows for easy adjustment of the height of the limiting wheel to accommodate copper wires of different diameters during equipment use, avoiding the need to replace different equipment to process copper wires of different diameters. This improves the practicality of the tin-plated copper wire alignment device. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a tin-plated copper wire centering device, comprising a fixed box 1, a plurality of connecting plates 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed box 1 for connecting support components, a support component provided inside each connecting plate 2 for supporting the entire device, a movable block 5 slidably connected inside the fixed box 1 for controlling the left and right positions of the copper wire, limit posts 6 fixedly connected to both sides of the movable block 5 to limit the movement range of the movable block 5, a plurality of sliding grooves 7 provided on the outer wall of each limit post 6 for accommodating limit strips 12, a plurality of limit strips 12 slidably connected to the outer wall of each limit post 6 to limit the movement range of the fixing ring 8, and a fixing component provided on the outer wall of each limit post 6 for fixing the position of the movable block 5;

[0034] Each fixing component includes a fixing ring 8, an extrusion strip 9, and a limiting ring 10. The inner wall of each fixing ring 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting post 6 to connect the limiting strip 12. It cooperates with the limiting strip 12 to fix the moving block 5 in the required position. The outer wall of each extrusion strip 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing ring 8 to support the fixing ring 8. One side of each limiting ring 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the extrusion strip 9 to limit the movement range of the extrusion strip 9. A spring 11 is provided on one side of each limiting ring 10 to provide elastic force to the fixing ring 8, so that it fixes the position of the moving block 5. One end of each spring 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting ring 10, and the other end of each spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing ring 8. Each support component includes a support post 3 and a connecting plate 4. The outer wall of each support post 3 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting plate 2 to support the entire equipment. The inner wall of each connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support post 3 to connect with the ground to make the equipment more stable.

[0035] Specifically, when the position of the movable block 5 needs to be changed, the operator first holds the fixing ring 8, then presses the fixing ring 8 inward. At this time, the extrusion strip 9, which is closely connected to the fixing ring 8, will retract into the fixing ring 8. During this process, the limiting strip 12 connected to the extrusion strip 9 will also gradually come out from the deepest part of the sliding groove 7. Then, the operator should gently rotate the fixing ring 8 so that the limiting strip 12 slides smoothly out from the sliding groove 7. Immediately afterwards, the operator releases the fixing ring 8. At this moment, the spring 11 quickly takes effect, driving the limiting strip 12 to pop out quickly from the sliding groove 7, thus successfully unlocking the movable block 5. At this point, the operator can adjust the position of the movable block 5 and move it to the precise position that is actually needed. Finally, the fixing ring 8 is reversed and fixed back onto the limiting post 6. Thus, the change of the position of the movable block 5 is successfully completed.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The top of the movable block 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting post 13 for connecting a fixed wheel 14. The top of the connecting post 13 is rotatably connected to the fixed wheel 14, providing a fixing point for the copper wire. Fixed rods 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting post 13 to fix the height of the telescopic rod 17, thereby fixing the limiting wheel 22. Each fixed rod 15 has multiple connecting holes 16 on its outer wall to accommodate fixing pins 18. A telescopic rod 17 is slidably connected inside each fixed rod 15 to control the height of the limiting wheel 22. A fixing pin 18 is slidably connected inside each telescopic rod 17 for... The telescopic rods 17 are fixed in position. Each fixed pin 18 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 19 at one end to limit the insertion distance of the fixed pin 18. Each limiting plate 19 is fixedly connected to a handle 20 on one side to drive the fixed pin 18 to move. A fixed plate 21 is fixedly connected between the telescopic rods 17 to connect the limiting wheel 22. The bottom of the fixed plate 21 is rotatably connected to the limiting wheel 22 to limit the vertical movement of the copper wire. The telescopic rods 17 are arranged in a symmetrical array on both sides of the connecting column 13. The outer wall of each fixed pin 18 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting hole 16.

[0037] Specifically, when the height of the limiting wheel 22 needs to be adjusted according to the diameter of the copper wire, the operator first holds the handle 20 and pulls it outward. As the pulling force continues, the fixing pin 18 gradually comes out smoothly from inside the telescopic rod 17. After the operator has completely removed both fixing pins 18, he holds the telescopic rod 17 with both hands and raises the telescopic rod 17 upward according to the actual needs. At this time, the limiting wheel 22 also rises smoothly, and the height gradually changes to the position that meets the requirements of the copper wire diameter. Finally, the operator reinserts the fixing pin 18 into the corresponding connecting hole 16. Thus, the operation of changing the height of the limiting wheel 22 is completed.

[0038] Working Principle: When using the tinned copper wire alignment device, first install the equipment in the corresponding position, adjust the height of its support column 3 to the required height, and then fix its connecting plate 4 to the corresponding plane to complete the initial installation. Next, change the position of the moving block 5 to align the copper wire with other components. Hold the fixing ring 8 and press it inwards, causing the pressing strip 9 to retract into the fixing ring 8, while simultaneously causing the limiting strip 12 to disengage from the deepest part of the sliding groove 7. Then rotate the fixing ring 8 to allow the limiting strip 12 to slide out of the sliding groove 7. Finally, release the fixing ring 8, allowing the limiting strip 12 to move out under the action of the spring 11. The sliding groove 7 is dislodged, thereby unlocking the moving block 5. The position of the moving block 5 is then adjusted to the desired position, and the fixing ring 8 is re-fixed onto the limiting post 6, thus completing the change of the position of the moving block 5. The height of the limiting wheel 22 is then adjusted according to the diameter of the copper wire. First, hold the handle 20 and pull it outward to dislodge the fixing pin 18 from the inside of the telescopic rod 17. After removing both fixing pins 18, hold the telescopic rod 17 and move it upward to change the height of the limiting wheel 22 to the desired height. Then, the fixing pin 18 is reinserted into the corresponding connecting hole 16, thus completing the change of the height of the limiting wheel 22.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
