Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a gear hobbing spring coiling machine, specifically a gear hobbing spring coiling machine for lighter processing. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the assembly of lighter heads in the market is entirely done manually. The lighter head consists of many parts, including the head itself, flame ring, rocker arm, spring, flint, grinding wheel, and fan cover—seven components in total. The spring needs to be coiled before assembly, and because these parts are small and difficult to handle, manual pliers or auxiliary equipment are required. Considering the high cost of manual assembly, this results in a very high defect rate and significant resource waste. In today's industrial environment where labor costs are rising annually, the export prices of industrial products are also increasing, leading to a decline in the competitiveness of our products. Therefore, considering processing costs, defect rates, and processing efficiency, it is necessary to design a gear-hobbing and spring-coiling machine for lighter manufacturing. Utility Model Content

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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a gear hobbing spring coiling machine for lighter processing, including a main unit 1. A gear hobbing device assembly 2 is provided on one side of the main unit 1, and a feeding assembly 3 and a cutting assembly 4 are provided on the other side of the main unit 1. The gear hobbing device assembly 2 includes a feeding tensioning part 201, a driving part 202, and a feeding adjustment part 203. The feeding assembly 3 includes a vertical feeding part 301 and a spiral feeding part 302. A power output part 401 and a limiting block assembly 6 are respectively inserted above and below one side of the cutting assembly 4, and a positioning block part 403 is provided on the upper side of the other side of the cutting assembly 4. At the same time, a cutting blade assembly 5 is inserted in the positioning block part 403. A connecting block part 402 is provided between the upper part of the cutting blade assembly 5 and the power output part 401, and one side of the bottom of the cutting blade assembly 5 is placed at one end of the limiting block assembly 6. At the same time, the bottom of the cutting blade assembly 5, one end of the limiting block assembly 6, and the outlet of the spiral feeding part 302 are gathered together.
[0024] In this embodiment, a metal wire passes through the middle of the feed tensioning part 201, the middle of the drive part 202, and the middle of the upper part of the feed adjustment part 203 on the same vertical line, and the metal wire passes through the middle of the feed tensioning part 201, the drive part 202, and the upper part of the feed adjustment part 203.
[0025] Furthermore, a motor 9 is provided at the upper center of the main machine 1, and the shaft end of the motor 9 is located between the drive unit 202 and the feed adjustment unit 203. At the same time, the shaft end of the motor 9 is connected to the belt inside the drive unit 202.
[0026] A metal wire is inserted into the feeding tensioning part 201. When the metal wire passes through the driving part 202, the motor 9 drives the driving part 202 to rotate, so that the metal wire is conveyed towards the feeding adjustment part 203. Finally, the metal wire is conveyed into the feeding assembly 3 through the feeding adjustment part 203.
[0027] In this embodiment, the main machine 1 is provided with a connecting support component 8, and a support platform component 801 is provided above the connecting support component 8.
[0028] Furthermore, the platform above the support assembly 801 is positioned above the main unit 1, and the middle part of the upper part of the support assembly 801 is on the same vertical line as the middle part of the feed adjustment part 203.
[0029] The support platform assembly 801, which is provided above the connecting support assembly 8, extends out of the upper plane of the main machine 1. After the metal wire is conveyed out from the feeding adjustment part 203, the metal wire will be placed on the support platform assembly 801 and pass through it. At the same time, the platform above the support platform assembly 801 can be raised and lowered to adapt to the tension of the conveyed metal wire.
[0030] In this embodiment, a metal wire is inserted above the vertical feed section 301 and enters the spiral feed section 302, while the metal wire is rotated out from the outlet of the spiral feed section 302.
[0031] Furthermore, a feeding channel 7 is provided on one side of the cutting assembly 4, and one end of the cutting blade assembly 5 and the limiting block assembly 6 and the outlet of the spiral feeding part 302 are both located at the opening above the feeding channel 7.
[0032] A metal wire is inserted above the vertical feed section 301 of the feeding assembly 3. The metal wire then enters the feeding assembly 3 and reaches the spiral feed section 302. After passing through the internal structure of the spiral feed section 302, the metal wire is conveyed out in a spring state. Then, the cutting assembly 5 and the limiting block assembly 6 are used to cut the formed spring. Finally, the cut spring falls into the discharge channel 7.
[0033] In this embodiment, a controller 10 is provided on top of the main unit 1. The controller 10 controls the operation of the internal structure of the main unit 1 and the structure above it.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] A gear hobbing device assembly 2 is provided on one side above the main unit 1. The gear hobbing device assembly 2 contains a feeding tensioning part 201, a drive part 202, and a feeding adjustment part 203. A metal wire fed from the outside first enters the feeding tensioning part 201. While passing through the feeding tensioning part 201, the metal wire can be adjusted to a taut state by rotating above it, without tightening the wire. Then, the metal wire passes through the drive part 202. Driven by the motor 9, the metal wire clamped in the drive part 202 is fed outwards to the area above the feeding adjustment part 203. The clamping force above the feeding adjustment part 203 can be adjusted to stably feed the metal wire. A connecting support assembly 8 is provided inside the main unit 1. A support platform assembly 801 is provided above the connecting support assembly 8, extending through the upper surface of the main unit 1 to support the metal wire as it passes through. The support platform assembly 801 can be raised and lowered, allowing the metal wire to move according to its position as it passes through. The tension of the conveying is adjusted appropriately. A feeding assembly 3 and a cutting assembly 4 are respectively provided on the other side of the main machine 1. After passing through the support platform assembly 801, the metal wire is inserted into the vertical feeding part 301 of the feeding assembly 3, and then enters the spiral feeding part 302 at one end of the feeding assembly 3. Finally, it is delivered out of the spiral feeding part 302 in a spring state. The cutting assembly 4 is provided with a power output part 401, a connecting block part 402 and a positioning block part 403. The positioning block part 403 is provided with a cutter assembly 5. The connecting block part 402 connects the power output part 401 and the upper part of the cutter assembly 5, so that the cutter assembly 5 can move up and down in the positioning block part 403 and the bottom of the cutter assembly 5 is in a tangent state with one end of the limiting block assembly 6. After the spiral feeding part 302 delivers the spring-state metal wire, the cutter assembly 5 cuts it. The cut spring falls into the discharge channel 7.
