Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of winding machine accessories, specifically a wire storage ring. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of a winding machine, the wire storage ring is one of the most important components. Its main function is to store a certain length of wire to ensure the stability and continuity of the winding process. With the rapid development of industries such as electronics, electrical appliances, and motors, the performance requirements for winding machines are becoming increasingly stringent, placing higher demands on the wire storage ring's stability, wire tension control, and the versatility of applicable wires.

[0003] Wire storage rings typically have an openable notch to facilitate the installation of parts to be wound and the removal of wound parts from the ring. The structural forms of the wire storage ring notch can be mainly divided into three types based on the opening method. The first type allows for direct removal of the notch, requiring disassembly and assembly of the notch when installing winding parts. The second type has one end hinged to the wire storage ring body and the other end connected by a pin, requiring tools for disassembly and assembly. The third type is a side-opening type. Side-opening wire storage rings are usually a single piece. Without affecting the normal use of the wire storage ring, a very narrow notch is made in the ring. When it is necessary to install or remove the wound parts, simply apply a sideways pushing force at the notch location to open it.

[0004] Among existing patent technologies, utility model patent CN212648059U discloses a wire storage ring and a winding machine having the same. The wire storage ring includes an annular body with an interface that allows the annular body to be opened. The annular outer circumference of the annular body has a groove for winding wires. The groove wall has at least one wire-holding notch for engaging the wire. The angle between the wire-holding notch and the interface, corresponding to the central angle on the annular body, is no greater than 90 degrees. This wire-holding notch in the wire storage ring facilitates wire winding, and by setting the angle between the wire-holding notch and the interface to no more than 90 degrees, the wire-holding notch is positioned on a semicircle close to the interface. When the annular body is opened through the interface, the deformation caused by stress on the annular body to the wire-holding notch is reduced, improving durability and reliability.

[0005] The wire storage ring provided by the aforementioned patent is essentially a side-opening type of wire storage ring. This type of wire storage ring has a major drawback: the side-opening wire storage ring needs to be subjected to lateral pressure repeatedly. However, the existing side-opening wire storage ring does not have a reinforcing structure, which makes the wire storage ring prone to deformation due to the repeated application of lateral force at the side opening position, and may even lead to damage to the wire storage ring. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wire storage ring that improves upon the existing side-opening wire storage ring, which lacks a reinforcing structure, making it prone to deformation and even damage due to repeated lateral forces applied at the side opening.

[0007] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0015] Furthermore, the bayonet engages with one side of the wire storage ring body, and the fixing buckle is glued to the wire storage ring body. The fixing buckle is made of nylon material.

[0016] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib is detachably connected to the fixing buckle and the connector, and the reinforcing rib is set to fit against the side of the wire storage ring.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom end of the reinforcing rib is provided with a connector, which is inserted into the limiting groove, and the reinforcing rib is made of spring steel.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a wire storage ring includes a wire storage ring body 1. The wire storage ring body 1 has a notch 13, which is V-shaped. This notch 13 prevents the wire storage ring from opening in the forward or backward direction; it can only be opened by applying lateral force, thus ensuring the stability of the wire storage ring during rotation. A mounting groove 14 is provided on one side of the wire storage ring body 1 above the notch 13. One end of the mounting groove 14 has a connector 15, and the other end has a fixing buckle 2. A reinforcing rib 3 is provided between the connector 15 and the fixing buckle 2. The mounting groove 14 facilitates the installation of the reinforcing rib 3, ensuring that the reinforcing rib 3 does not protrude excessively from the wire storage ring. If the reinforcing rib 3 protrudes excessively, it will affect the use of the wire storage ring. The fixing buckle 2 and the connector 15 facilitate the fixing of both ends of the reinforcing rib 3, ensuring its stability.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wire storage ring body 1 is made of aluminum alloy, and the outer surface of the aluminum alloy is provided with a wear-resistant layer, which is a ceramic coating. This ensures that the wire storage ring body 1 has good strength, and at the same time, the surface is more wear-resistant, which helps to improve the service life of the wire storage ring. A ring groove 11 is provided on both sides of the wire storage ring body 1 along its inner edge to ensure a stable connection between the wire storage ring body 1 and the guide wheel of the winding machine; this allows the notch on the side of the guide wheel to be stably engaged inside the wire storage ring body 1. A wire storage groove 12 is provided on the side of the wire storage ring body 1. The wire storage groove 12 has a structure that is wider on the outside and narrower on the inside. This structure ensures that the wire can be stably stored inside the wire storage groove 12. A shock-absorbing layer is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the wire storage groove 12. The shock-absorbing layer is made of rubber or silicone. The main function of the shock-absorbing layer is to prevent mechanical vibrations (such as motor vibration, vibration transmitted by wire tension fluctuations) that may be caused by the rotation of the wire storage ring or the coordinated movement of components when the winding machine is running at high speed. The damping layer absorbs vibration energy through elastic deformation, preventing radial or axial displacement of the ring due to vibration. This stabilizes the winding tension of the wire on the ring surface, preventing problems such as loose winding, overlapping, or breakage. Simultaneously, in high-speed winding scenarios (such as motor coils and transformer windings), the damping layer compensates for centrifugal vibration caused by uneven mass distribution or processing errors, ensuring uniform winding with constant tension and improving coil consistency and electrical performance. Vibration can cause high-frequency friction or impact between the wire and the ring surface (such as guide grooves and tension adjustment parts), especially for precision wires like enameled wire and optical fibers, easily causing insulation damage or surface scratches. The damping layer reduces dynamic stress on the wire through flexible buffering, protecting its physical properties. The connector 15 has a limiting groove 16, and is welded to the wire storage ring body 1. This structure facilitates the detachable connection of the reinforcing rib 3 and the connector 15, and also ensures a stable connection between the connector 15 and the wire storage ring body 1.

[0030] like Figure 5As shown, the fixing buckle 2 has a slot 21 on the side facing the wire storage ring body 1, which facilitates a better fit between the fixing buckle 2 and the wire storage ring body 1. The fixing buckle 2 also has a slot 22 on the end face facing the reinforcing rib 3, which allows one end of the reinforcing rib 3 to be inserted into the inside of the fixing buckle 2. The slot 21 engages with the side of the wire storage ring body 1, and the fixing buckle 2 is glued to the wire storage ring body 1. The fixing buckle 2 is made of nylon material; this structure ensures a stable connection between the reinforcing rib 3 and the fixing buckle 2.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcing rib 3 is detachably connected to the fixing buckle 2 and the connector 15, and the reinforcing rib 3 is set close to the side of the wire storage ring. This structure facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the reinforcing rib 3, making it easy to use flexibly, while also preventing the reinforcing rib 3 from protruding too much from the side of the wire storage ring. The bottom end of the reinforcing rib 3 is provided with a plug 31, which is inserted into the limiting groove 16. The reinforcing rib 3 is made of spring steel, which facilitates the connection between the reinforcing rib 3 and the connector 15, and also allows the end of the reinforcing rib 3 to be quickly detached from the connector 15.

[0032] Working principle: During use, the entire wire storage ring is fixed on the guide wheel of the winding machine, and then the entire winding machine can be operated. When it is necessary to wind a part, a lateral force is applied to the position above the notch 13 of the wire storage ring by the winding machine or manually, so that the notch 13 opens. Then, the part to be wound is placed on the wire storage ring. After that, the opening of the wire storage ring is closed to wind the part. After winding, a lateral force is applied to the position above the notch 13 of the wire storage ring again to open the notch 13, and the wound part can be removed. The operation is simple and convenient, and the clamping of the reinforcing rib 3 makes it less likely to be damaged even when the lateral force is applied repeatedly.

[0033] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application provides a reinforcing rib 3 at the opening position of the wire storage ring. This reinforcing rib 3 strengthens the opening position, making it less prone to breakage even with twisting, thus effectively improving the service life of the wire storage ring and ensuring stable operation. The reinforcing rib 3 is also designed to be detachable, facilitating replacement and allowing for flexible replacement should it be damaged.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
