Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire processing technology, and in particular, to a steel wire feeding frame. Background Technology

[0002] In cold heading machine processing, the wire feeder plays a crucial role. It primarily supports the coiled steel wire and allows personnel or traction equipment to slowly and systematically pull the wire for subsequent cold heading. The design of the wire feeder ensures that the wire does not tangle during pulling, thus avoiding material waste and processing interruptions. By using the feeder, cold heading machine processing can remain efficient and continuous, improving production efficiency while also ensuring the quality and processing accuracy of the steel wire. Therefore, the wire feeder is an indispensable piece of equipment in cold heading machine processing.

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN205170027U discloses a wire feeding frame, including a base with multiple circumferentially distributed connecting rods on the base. In use, the wire coil is sleeved onto the outside of the connecting rods, and then a traction device pulls the wire, causing the base to rotate. However, the wire is prone to popping out and injuring people during the feeding process, and the aforementioned wire feeding frame lacks relevant safety features, posing a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a wire feeding frame.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A wire feeding frame includes a base, a support seat rotatably mounted on the base, a support column for engaging wire coils mounted on the support seat, and a protective column rotatably mounted on the base. The protective column is located radially outside the support column, and several protective columns are arranged circumferentially. The protective column can swing closer to or further away from the support column to select an open or closed position.

[0007] Preferably, the support column is formed by a plurality of connecting rods enclosing it circumferentially.

[0008] Preferably, a cylinder is provided on the base, and the ejector shaft of the cylinder is connected to the protective column.

[0009] Preferably, the support base is adapted to be able to spring along the axial direction, the bottom end of the protective column is provided with a pressure block, and a spring is also connected between the protective column and the base; the spring is adapted to drive the protective column to remain in the open position in the natural state; when the support base is pressed, it can push the pressure block and cause the protective column to swing to the closed position.

[0010] Preferably, the base is provided with a rotating column, and the support seat is sleeved on the rotating column.

[0011] Preferably, a sliding key is provided on the outer wall of the rotating column, and a corresponding sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the support base, wherein the sliding key is adapted to the sliding groove.

[0012] Preferably, a roller is rotatably disposed on the top surface of the pressure block, and the rotation axis of the roller coincides with the radial direction of the support base.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the wire coil is sleeved on the support column, allowing the support to rotate during wire unloading. The protective column is located on the outside of the wire coil, ensuring that even if a wire pops out, it will impact the protective column and is less likely to cause injury. Compared with existing technologies, this invention uses the protective column to block the wire, and the protective column can swing between an open and closed position. The open position facilitates the insertion of the wire coil, while the closed position provides protection. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a wire feeding frame includes a base 1, on which a rotating column 9 is mounted. A support seat 2 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating column 9, so the support seat 2 can rotate together with the rotating column 9. For example, the bottom of the support seat 2 has a disc-shaped support surface, and a vertically extending support column 3 is provided in the middle of the support surface.

[0019] The wire coil can be sleeved on the outside of the support column 3 from top to bottom. During the wire laying process, the wire is extended by the traction device, while the support 2 rotates.

[0020] To protect against the ejection of the wire coil, a protective post 4 is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and several protective posts 4 are arranged radially outward and circumferentially on the support base 2. In cross-section, the area between the protective post 4 and the support post 3 defines the placement area for the wire coil. The wire coil can then be extended from the gaps between adjacent protective posts 4. The advantage of making the protective post 4 rotatable is that it can swing between an open and closed position.

[0021] In the open position, the protective post 4 has an inclination angle further away from the support post 3. At this time, several protective posts 4 work together to form a trumpet shape, which makes it easier to put the wire coil into the placement area from top to bottom. In the closed position, the protective post 4 has an inclination angle closer to the support post 3 or is at a vertical angle. At this time, several protective posts 4 work together to restrain the wire and also reduce the space occupied by the wire feeding frame to a certain extent.

[0022] In some examples, a rotating sleeve (not shown) can also be fitted on the protective post 4. In the closed position, the rotating sleeve can abut against the wire roll, which will also help the wire roll to remain rolled up and prevent radial outward collapse.

[0023] For example, a cylinder (not shown) can be installed on the base 1, and the ejector shaft of the cylinder is connected to the protective column 4. In this way, the protective column 4 can be driven to swing between the closed position and the open position by ejecting or retracting the ejector shaft.

[0024] In other solutions, the support base 2 is also adapted to be able to spring along the axial direction. For example, an elastic element is connected between the support base 2 and the rotating column 9, and a keyway structure can preferably be adapted between the support base 2 and the rotating column 9. For example, a sliding key 10 can be provided on the outer wall of the rotating column 9, and a corresponding sliding groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the support base 2. The sliding key 10 is adapted in the sliding groove 11 to enable the support base 2 to slide along the axial direction, and the support base 2 and the rotating column 9 can also have a better synchronous rotation state.

[0025] A pressure block 7 is provided at the bottom of the protective column 4, and a spring 8 is connected between the protective column 4 and the base 1. The cable feeder of this utility model can be used in the following manner:

[0026] Under the elastic force of spring 8, spring 8 remains in its natural state and drives the protective post 4 to remain in the open position;

[0027] As the wire coil is placed into the placement area, the support base 2 will gradually press down. During this process, the support base 2 will press down and push the pressure block 7, thereby causing the protective column 4 to swing until it enters the closed position. Moreover, under the weight of the wire coil, the pressure block 7 is unlikely to lift up on its own.

[0028] For example, rollers 12 can be rotatably mounted on the top surface of the pressure block 7, and the rotation axis of the roller path coincides with the radial direction of the support base 2. Thus, the cooperation of several rollers 12 forms a rolling support for the support base 2, making the rotation of the support base 2 more stable and reliable during the wire feeding process, and making the wire feeding process smoother.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the support column 3 and the support base 2 are separable, and the support column 3 is specifically formed by several connecting rods 5 arranged circumferentially. For example, the bottom of the support column 3 also has a protruding part extending radially outward, and the wire coil can be pre-supported on the protruding part. During wire laying, the support column 3 can be placed on the support base 2 by a forklift or overhead crane. For example, it can also be adapted so that the support base 2 is pressed down and the pressure block 7 is kept pressed down by the weight of the support column 3 itself. In this way, even as the wire is continuously unwound, the support base 2 is not likely to rise, and the protective column 4 will not open on its own.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or related technologies or knowledge. Modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be protected within the scope of the appended claims.
