Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of copper rod processing equipment, specifically a copper rod straightening device. Background Technology
[0002] During the early processing stages of copper rods, such as casting, rolling, and drawing, uneven residual stresses are generated internally, leading to bending, twisting, or localized deformation of the material. Straightening releases these stresses by applying a reverse force or plastic deformation, ensuring a uniform and stable material structure and preventing deformation during subsequent processing (such as cutting and stamping) due to stress release. Furthermore, bent or deformed copper rods directly affect the quality of subsequent processing. Therefore, straightening operations are necessary for bent copper rods.
[0003] Currently, most copper rod straightening devices rely on manual feeding, requiring each copper rod to be manually fed and aligned. This is labor-intensive, increases labor costs, and wastes significant manpower and time. Furthermore, the feeding process suffers from poor stability, with the copper rods prone to shifting, reducing straightening efficiency. Therefore, we propose a copper rod straightening device.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] A copper rod straightening device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a frame 1; the frame 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 2, which can feed copper rods and guide them during the feeding process so that the copper rods can be fed one by one.
[0028] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a guide plate 201, which is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1. The guide plate 201 is inclined on the frame 1, and its inclined structure guides the copper rods, allowing them to tilt and stack on the guide plate 201. The inclined guide plate 201 facilitates the sliding of the copper rods along it, thus simplifying the feeding operation. A locking block 202 is slidably connected to the end of the guide plate 201. The locking block 202 can block the copper rods, thus spacing them during feeding and allowing them to be fed one by one. A driving block 203 is slidably connected to the bottom of the locking block 202. The top of the driving block 203 is arc-shaped, and its arc-shaped top can push the locking block 202, allowing it to extend. A buffer spring 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the driving block 203.
[0029] Furthermore, a guide rod 205 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. Several guide rods 205 are provided, and each guide rod 205 has a spindle-shaped structure. A limit rod 206 is rotatably connected to one end of the frame 1. The structure of the guide rod 205 can guide the copper rod, and the rotating guide rod 205 can drive the copper rod to move and be conveyed along the direction of the copper rod. The spindle-shaped guide rod 205 can position the copper rod to the middle position of the guide rod 205 during conveying. The structure of the limit rod 206 can support the end of the copper rod to prevent the end of the copper rod from tilting up after being conveyed to the end.
[0030] It is worth noting that a motor 213 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1. A transmission wheel 214 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the motor 213 and the end of the guide rod 205. A transmission belt 215 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission wheel 214. The motor 213 can drive the guide rod 205 through the transmission belt 215 and the transmission wheel 214, so that the guide rod 205 rotates synchronously and performs the conveying operation of the copper rod.
[0031] Based on this, a positioning rod 207 is rotatably connected to the side of the guide plate 201. The positioning rod 207 guides the copper rod. Simultaneously, the end of a buffer spring 204 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the positioning rod 207. Rotation of the positioning rod 207 drives the buffer spring 204 and the drive block 203. The buffer spring 204 also supports and buffers the positioning rod 207 and the copper rod, making the rotation of the positioning rod 207 smoother. A sleeve rod 208 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the positioning rod 207. The positioning rod 207 is positioned between the guide rods 205. The sleeve rod 208 facilitates the movement of the copper rod during positioning, reducing frictional resistance. Torsion springs are fixedly connected to both sides of the positioning rod 207, allowing it to rotate and reset.
[0032] Furthermore, guide frames 209 are fixedly connected to both sides of the guide plate 201. Guide grooves 210 are provided on the inner side of the guide frames 209. The structure of the guide frames 209 can block both ends of the guide plate 201, thereby preventing the copper rods from falling off the sides of the guide plate 201 during the feeding process. A storage rack 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide plate 201. A discharge port 212 is provided on the side of the storage rack 211 near the guide plate 201. The structure of the storage rack 211 can store and feed the copper rods.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figures 1-2 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the frame 1 is provided with a straightening mechanism 3, which can perform straightening processing on the copper rod.
[0035] In this embodiment, the straightening mechanism 3 includes a straightening roller 301. The inner side of the straightening roller 301 has a frustum-shaped structure. Multiple sets of straightening rollers 301 are provided and arranged perpendicularly to each other. The inner side of the frustum-shaped straightening roller 301 can form a circular hole structure to adapt to the shape of the copper rod and straighten the moving copper rod.
[0036] In addition, a feeding plate 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the frame 1 near the straightening roller 301, and a collection frame 303 is movably connected to the end of the feeding plate 302. The feeding plate 302 can guide the copper rod to feed, and the collection frame 303 can collect the copper rod after the straightening process is completed.
[0037] In use, the copper rod straightening device of this utility model involves copper rods stored inside the storage rack 211 moving one by one from the discharge port 212 onto the guide plate 201, and sliding downwards along the inclined guide plate 201. Initially, the positioning rod 207 at the end of the guide plate 201 is nearly horizontal due to the elastic action of the buffer spring 204. When the copper rod slides from the guide plate 201 onto the positioning rod 207, the weight of the copper rod presses the positioning rod 207 downwards, causing it to rotate towards the buffer spring 204. After rotation, the positioning rod 207 pushes the drive block 203 to move via the buffer spring 204, and the arc-shaped top of the drive block 203 pushes the locking block 202 outwards, thereby blocking subsequent copper rods. As the copper rod continues to move towards the end of the positioning rod 207, the lever arm of the force exerted by the copper rod on the positioning rod 207 continues to extend, and the downward rotation angle of the positioning rod 207 continues to increase until the copper rod moves onto the guide rod 205. The positioning rods 207 between the guide rods 205 provide auxiliary support for the movement of the copper rod, reducing the width of the gap between the guide rods 205 and improving the stability of the copper rod's movement and conveying. Simultaneously, the downward pressure of the copper rod on the positioning rods 207 keeps the locking block 202 extended. The motor 213 continuously runs, driving the guide rods 205 to rotate synchronously via the transmission wheel 214 and transmission belt 215, thereby driving the copper rod towards the straightening mechanism 3. The straightening roller 301 then straightens the inner copper rod. The straightened copper rod slides from the feeding plate 302 into the collection frame 303. During the movement and conveying of the copper rod, the limiting rod 206 limits its movement. When only the end of the copper rod contacts the positioning rod 207, the positioning rod 207 springs back to its original position under the elastic drive of the buffer spring 204 and the torsion spring. At this point, the copper rod is restricted by the limiting rod 206 and cannot rotate. Only when the copper rod is fully moved and conveyed to a position where it is misaligned with the positioning rod 207, does the positioning rod 207 lose the pressure of the copper rod and rebound under the elastic action of the buffer spring 204 and the torsion spring. At the same time, when the drive block 203 and the locking block 202 are misaligned, the end of the guide plate 201 is opened, thus facilitating the subsequent copper rod feeding operation.
