[0029] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Example

[0030] As shown in Figures 1-5, this application provides an automatic wire oiling device, comprising:

[0031] The traction mechanism 1 is provided with a traction wheel 11, and a traction channel 12 is provided in the traction wheel 11; the traction mechanism 1 is also provided with a drive motor for driving the traction wheel 11 to rotate.

[0032] An oiling tank 2 is located on one side of the traction mechanism 1. The side wall of the oiling tank 2 is provided with a through hole 211 for the wire to pass through. An oiling component 3 is provided inside the oiling tank 2. The oiling component 3 is provided with a wire passage 31. When the wire is placed in the wire passage 31, the surface of the wire abuts against the oiling component 3.

[0033] Specifically, in the automotive parts production workshop, the traction mechanism 1 is first installed, and the traction wheel 11 is mounted on it. The traction channel 12 of the traction wheel 11 is ensured to be unobstructed, and its diameter is adjusted according to the diameter of the wire to be coated, ensuring smooth movement of the wire within the channel. An oiling box 2 is installed on one side of the traction mechanism 1, with the through hole 211 on the side wall of the oiling box 2 aligned with the traction channel 12 of the traction wheel 11, facilitating smooth wire passage. The oiling component 3 is installed inside the oiling box 2, and its position is adjusted so that the wire passage 31 is aligned with the through hole 211. An appropriate amount of special wire coating grease is added to the oiling box 2, ensuring the grease fully wets the oiling component 3 without overflowing the oiling box 2.

[0034] In practical applications, the oiling component 3 can be a sponge. After the sponge is saturated with oil, the wire passes through it, and the surface of the wire can be fully coated with oil.

[0035] The aforementioned automatic wire oiling device, during operation, involves passing one end of the wire to be oiled through the through hole 211 on the side wall of the oiling tank 2 and then through the traction channel 12 of the traction wheel 11. The traction mechanism 1 drives the wire to move continuously. During this movement, the surface of the wire comes into close contact with the oiling component 3, and the grease on the oiling component 3 is evenly applied to the surface of the wire, completing the automatic oiling process. The oiled wire then directly enters the subsequent wire forming mechanism, where it undergoes bending, winding, and other forming operations according to a preset process, ultimately being processed into the parts required for automotive brakes. This device eliminates the need for manual oiling, greatly improving oiling efficiency and reducing labor costs. Simultaneously, the automated oiling process avoids the uneven application problems that may occur with manual oiling, ensuring the consistency of oiling on the wire surface and improving product quality. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple, making installation, debugging, and maintenance more convenient, reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime. Moreover, after the wire is coated with oil, it can directly enter the subsequent forming mechanism, achieving a seamless connection between the oiling and forming processes. This reduces the time spent transferring the wire between different devices and the potential damage, further improving production efficiency and ensuring the overall quality of the product.

[0036] Specifically, this application provides a specific embodiment of the oiling component 3. Two oiling components 3 are provided in the oiling box 2, and both oiling components 3 are snapped into the oiling box 2. Each oiling component 3 has a groove on its side wall, and the grooves of the two oiling components 3 are arranged opposite to each other, forming the wire passage 31 between the two grooves.

[0037] The oiling box 2 is a rectangular box 21, and the oiling component 3 is a cuboid structure. The oiling component 3 is placed in the oiling box 2, and a wire passage 31 is formed between the upper and lower oiling components 3. In a preferred embodiment, the axis of the wire passage 31 coincides with the axis of the through hole 211. This allows the wire to pass directly through the wire passage 31 after entering the oiling box 2 through the through hole 211, ensuring both smooth wire routing and uniform oiling of the wire surface.

[0038] Furthermore, the oiling box 2 includes a box body 21 and a box cover 22, the box cover 22 is disposed on the top of the box body 21, and the box cover 22 is hinged to the box body 21;

[0039] The top of the box 21 is provided with a first magnetic material, and the lid 22 is provided with a second magnetic material, the second magnetic material having the opposite magnetic properties to the first magnetic material.

[0040] The cover 22 and the body 21 are hinged, making opening and closing the cover 22 simple and easy. Compared to traditional bolted connections or other fixing methods, operators can quickly open the cover 22 without the need for additional tools, greatly improving the efficiency of equipment maintenance. The second magnetic material on the cover 22 has opposite magnetic properties to the first magnetic material on the top of the body 21; the two attract each other, forming a tight seal between the cover 22 and the body 21. This sealing method not only effectively prevents grease leakage and avoids pollution to the production environment, but also prevents external dust and impurities from entering the oiling tank 2, ensuring the cleanliness of the grease and thus ensuring the stability of the oiling quality. The elimination of bolts or other fasteners to open and close the cover 22 improves the ease of use of the device.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner wall of the housing 21 is provided with a limiting strip 23, which protrudes from the inner wall of the housing 21 towards the center. The surface of the limiting strip 23 is provided with anti-slip texture. When the oiling component 3 is installed into the oiling box 2, the limiting strip 23 on the inner wall of the housing 21 is used for positioning. Since the limiting strip 23 protrudes from the inner wall of the housing 21 towards the center, the two oiling components 3 are slowly inserted along the limiting strip 23, ensuring that the position of the oiling component 3 is accurate. The anti-slip texture on the surface of the limiting strip 23 significantly increases the friction between the oiling component 3 and the oiling component 3, effectively preventing the oiling component 3 from shifting inside the housing 21 due to vibration, wire pulling, or other factors. This avoids poor contact between the wire and the oiling component 3 due to positional changes, thus affecting the oiling effect and reducing the possibility of defective products due to uneven oiling.

[0042] More preferably, the oiling device further includes an oil supply device 6, which includes an oil storage tank 61, an oil pump 62, and a connector 64. The connector 64 is located on the top of the side wall of the oiling tank 2. The oil storage tank 61 is connected to the connector 64 through a connecting pipe 63, and the oil pump 62 is located on the connecting pipe 63.

[0043] Furthermore, a flow meter is also provided on the connecting pipe 63, and the flow meter is electrically connected to the oil pump 62.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the equipment starts running, the traction mechanism 1 moves the wire to apply oil. Simultaneously, the oil pump 62 delivers grease from the storage tank 61 to the oiling tank 2 via the connecting pipe 63 according to a set flow rate. A flow meter continuously monitors the grease flow rate; if a deviation occurs, it automatically feeds back to the oil pump 62. The oil pump 62 adjusts its operating state based on the feedback information to ensure a stable and accurate supply of grease to the oiling tank 2. This oiling device enables automatic replenishment of grease in the oiling tank 2. During equipment operation, the grease in the oiling tank 2 gradually decreases as the oiling process continues. By delivering grease from the storage tank 61 to the oiling tank 2 via the oil pump 62, frequent manual grease replenishment is unnecessary, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and lowering labor intensity. Furthermore, the coordinated operation of the flow meter and the oil pump 62 allows for precise adjustment of the oil supply according to actual needs, preventing grease waste or insufficient supply. Precise oil supply control helps ensure the stability of the oiling quality. Example

[0045] As shown in Figures 1-6, this embodiment provides a wire forming mechanism, including the automatic wire oiling device described above.

[0046] Specifically, it also includes a raw material rack 5, which is located on one side of the oiling tank 2. The raw material rack 5 is equipped with a material placement rack 51, and the material placement rack 51 is equipped with a material placement channel 52, which is arranged in a ring shape. Furthermore, it also includes a cutting structure 4, which is disposed between the traction mechanism 1 and the oiling tank 2. The cutting structure 4 includes two oppositely arranged cutters 41, forming a cutting opening 42 between the two cutters 41.

[0047] The device is used as follows: Place the wire to be processed into the material placement channel 52 of the material rack 51, and start the equipment. The wire is drawn out from the material placement channel 52, passes through the empty / wire-passing channel 31, and enters the traction structure. The traction structure starts to draw out the wire. During the drawing process, the wire is continuously coated with oil by the oiling component 3 in the oiling tank 2. When it is necessary to cut the wire to a fixed length, the control system controls two cutters 41 to move towards each other, cutting the wire through the cutting nozzle 42. The oiled wire then enters the subsequent forming process, such as bending and winding, and is finally processed into the required product. In the entire production process, all components work together to realize automated production from raw material loading to product forming.

[0048] More preferably, two traction structures are provided, one on each side of the oiling tank 2. That is, the two inlets are the feed inlet and the discharge outlet, respectively. After the wire is cut at the discharge outlet, the traction mechanism 1 at the feed inlet can still feed the wire into the oiling tank 2, ensuring the continuity of processing.

[0049] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
