Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of copper rod processing, and in particular to a copper rod straightening pressure adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Copper rods are long, thin metal materials made of high-purity copper. Common types include oxygen-free copper rods and low-oxygen copper rods. They possess excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, good machinability, and high mechanical strength, making them an important raw material for the wire and cable, electrical and electronic industries. During the production and processing of copper rods, various factors, such as rolling and stretching processes, can cause bending and deformation. To meet subsequent processing and usage requirements, straightening equipment is needed to straighten the copper rods. Many such devices rely solely on operator experience to manually adjust the pressure, making it difficult to accurately match the straightening pressure required for different specifications of copper rods, easily leading to unstable straightening results. Furthermore, they have deficiencies in pressure feedback, failing to monitor pressure changes in real time and automatically adjust accordingly. When the copper rod material is uneven or unexpected resistance occurs, they cannot react promptly, affecting straightening quality and potentially causing surface damage or internal structural destruction of the copper rod. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a copper rod straightening pressure adjustment device with precise pressure adjustment, real-time monitoring and automatic control functions.

[0004] This utility model discloses a copper rod straightening pressure adjustment device, comprising:

[0005] A frame is used to support components;

[0006] The straightening mechanism is mounted on the frame and includes multiple straightening rollers and a guiding mechanism. The multiple straightening rollers are arranged in an alternating pattern to straighten the copper rods. The guiding mechanism is located on both sides of the straightening rollers and is used to guide the copper rods to accurately enter between the straightening rollers. The guiding mechanism includes guide wheels, which are rotatably mounted on the frame.

[0007] The pressure adjustment mechanism is connected to the straightening mechanism. The pressure adjustment mechanism includes an electric push rod and a pressure sensor. The electric push rod is mounted on the frame, one end of the pressure sensor is mounted on the output end of the electric push rod, and the straightening roller is mounted on the other end of the pressure sensor.

[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the present invention provides a copper rod straightening pressure adjustment device, comprising:

[0032] Frame 1, used to support components;

[0033] The straightening mechanism 2 is mounted on the frame 1. The straightening mechanism 2 includes multiple straightening rollers 21, which are arranged in an alternating pattern to straighten the copper rod.

[0034] The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 is connected to the straightening mechanism 2. The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 includes an electric push rod 31 and a pressure sensor 32. The electric push rod 31 is mounted on the frame 1. One end of the pressure sensor 32 is mounted on the output end of the electric push rod 31. The straightening roller 21 is mounted on the other end of the pressure sensor 32.

[0035] Control unit 4 is electrically connected to pressure sensor 32 and electric push rod 31. Control unit 4 controls the extension and retraction of electric push rod 31 according to the pressure signal fed back by pressure sensor 32.

[0036] When the copper rod passes through the interlaced straightening rollers 21, the straightening rollers 21 apply a certain force to the copper rod, thereby gradually straightening the bent copper rod. During the straightening process, the straightening rollers 21 contact the copper rod and generate pressure, which is transmitted to the pressure sensor 32. The pressure sensor 32 converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal. The control unit 4 receives the electrical signal fed back by the pressure sensor 32 and, through analysis and processing of the signal, determines whether the current straightening pressure meets the requirements. If the pressure does not meet the requirements, the control unit 4 issues a command to control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 31, thereby adjusting the pressure of the straightening rollers 21 on the copper rod, achieving precise adjustment of the straightening pressure of the copper rod, and ensuring the stability of the straightening effect. The pressure sensor 32 monitors pressure changes in real time during the straightening process. If any pressure abnormality occurs, such as uneven copper rod material or unexpected resistance causing pressure changes, the control unit 4 can promptly control the electric push rod 31 to automatically adjust based on the signal fed back by the pressure sensor 32. This ensures that the straightening pressure is always kept within a suitable range, avoiding situations where the straightening quality is affected by the inability to adjust the pressure in time, and reducing the risk of surface damage or internal structural damage to the copper rod. Because it can accurately and automatically adjust the straightening pressure, the copper rod straightening process is more stable and reliable, reducing rework and scrap rates caused by straightening problems, improving production efficiency and product quality, and meeting the high requirements for copper rod straightening quality in industries such as wire and cable, and electrical electronics.

[0037] Control unit 4 includes:

[0038] Microprocessor 41 is used to receive signals from pressure sensor 32 and process and analyze them;

[0039] Storage module 42, connected to microprocessor 41, is used to store the straightening pressure parameters of copper rods of different specifications;

[0040] Display module 43, connected to microprocessor 41, is used to display the current straightening pressure, set pressure, and specifications of the copper rod;

[0041] The signal from pressure sensor 32 represents the actual pressure applied to the copper rod during the straightening process. A microprocessor processes and analyzes these signals, using specific algorithms and logic to determine whether the current pressure meets the straightening requirements and whether the electric push rod 31 needs adjustment, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the straightening pressure. The straightening pressure parameters for different specifications of copper rods are derived through extensive experiments, practice, and theoretical calculations. When straightening a copper rod of a specific specification, the microprocessor 41 retrieves the corresponding pressure parameters from the storage module 42 as the basis for setting the pressure during the straightening process. The display module 43 visually presents key information about the straightening process to the operator, reducing operational difficulty and reliance on operator experience. Operators can adjust parameters and operations based on the displayed information, improving work efficiency and operational accuracy.

[0042] The preferred control unit 4 also includes:

[0043] The input module 44 is connected to the microprocessor 41 and is used to input the specifications of the copper rod and manually adjust the pressure setting value.

[0044] The alarm module 45 is connected to the microprocessor 41. When the calibration pressure exceeds the set safety range, the alarm module 45 issues an alarm.

[0045] The input module 44 converts the input information into electrical or digital signals and transmits them to the microprocessor 41. The microprocessor 41 processes and controls the received information accordingly. Through the input module 44, the device can adapt to the straightening needs of copper rods with different specifications and characteristics. For copper rods with special specifications or special requirements, operators can flexibly adjust the pressure setting value based on experience or specific process requirements, rather than relying solely on the preset parameters in the storage module 42, thus increasing the versatility and adaptability of the device. After receiving the instruction, the alarm module 45 issues an alarm signal through its own circuitry and device, reminding the operator in the form of sound, light, etc., that an abnormality has occurred during the straightening process and that timely measures need to be taken, such as stopping the equipment or adjusting the pressure, to avoid surface damage or internal structural damage to the copper rod due to excessive pressure. It can also prevent excessive wear and damage to equipment parts or even safety accidents caused by abnormal pressure, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and production losses.

[0046] The preferred straightening mechanism 2 also includes a guide mechanism 22, which is disposed on both sides of the straightening roller 21 to guide the copper rod to accurately enter between the straightening rollers 21. The guide mechanism 22 includes a guide wheel 221, which is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. Due to the rotatable nature of the guide wheel 221, when the copper rod passes through, the guide wheel 221 contacts the surface of the copper rod and generates rolling friction, which applies a lateral guiding force to the copper rod, enabling the copper rod to travel along a specific path and ensuring the positional accuracy and motion stability of the copper rod during the straightening process.

[0047] The surface of the preferred straightening roller 21 is provided with an elastic buffer layer 211. The elastic buffer layer 211 is generally made of an elastic material, such as rubber or polyurethane. When the copper rod comes into contact with the straightening roller 21 during the straightening process, the elastic buffer layer 211 will undergo elastic deformation under the pressure applied by the copper rod. This elastic deformation can absorb and disperse the pressure between the copper rod and the straightening roller 21, making the pressure distribution more uniform and avoiding excessive local pressure. At the same time, the elastic buffer layer 211 effectively avoids direct rigid contact between the straightening roller 21 and the copper rod, preventing the straightening roller from causing scratches, indentations or other damage to the surface of the copper rod during the straightening process, thereby improving the surface quality of the copper rod and meeting the application scenarios with high surface quality requirements.

[0048] The bottom of the preferred frame 1 is provided with a shock-absorbing pad 11. The shock-absorbing pad 11 is generally made of materials with good shock absorption performance, such as rubber, silicone, polyurethane and other polymer materials or some metal-rubber composite materials. Its principle is based on the elasticity and damping characteristics of the material. When the device is running, the frame 1 will vibrate due to various reasons, such as the interaction between the copper rod and the straightening roller 21 during the straightening process, the movement of the electric push rod 31, etc. When the shock-absorbing pad 11 is subjected to the vibration energy transmitted by the frame 1, it will undergo elastic deformation, converting the mechanical energy of the vibration into its own elastic potential energy and other forms of energy such as heat energy. The intermolecular friction and damping effect inside the material of the shock-absorbing pad 11 will consume some energy, thereby reducing the amplitude and propagation of vibration, playing a shock-absorbing role, effectively reducing the transmission of vibration generated during the operation of the device to the ground or foundation structure, reducing the impact on the connection parts of the device itself, reducing the possibility of loosening, wear or even damage of parts caused by vibration, thereby extending the overall service life of the device.

[0049] Preferably, a cooling mechanism 5 is also included, which includes a plurality of cooling nozzles 51. The cooling nozzles 51 are arranged near the straightening roller 21 and are used to spray coolant onto the copper rod and the straightening roller 21. During the straightening process, the copper rod generates a large amount of heat due to friction with the straightening roller 21 and the straightening force. The coolant has a low temperature. When it is sprayed onto the surface of the copper rod and the straightening roller, which has a high temperature, it absorbs their heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the copper rod and the straightening roller 21 and achieving the purpose of cooling. This effectively controls the temperature of the copper rod and maintains the stability of its hardness, strength and other properties.

[0050] Cooling mechanism 5 also includes:

[0051] Coolant circulation pump 52 is used to draw coolant from the coolant tank and deliver it to the cooling nozzle 51;

[0052] Filter element 53 is installed in the coolant circulation loop to filter impurities in the coolant.

[0053] The circulating pump 52 typically operates based on the principle of centrifugal force or volume change, providing continuous and stable power to the coolant. This ensures that the coolant is delivered to the cooling nozzle 51 at a certain pressure and flow rate, thereby guaranteeing that the cooling nozzle can uniformly and effectively spray coolant onto the copper rod and straightening roller 21, maintaining a good cooling effect. Simultaneously, after absorbing heat from the copper rod and straightening roller, the coolant can be returned to the coolant tank via the circulating pump 52 for cooling and replenishment, and then transported back to the cooling section, achieving coolant reuse and improving cooling efficiency and economy. The filter element 53 generally uses filter screens, filter cartridges, and other filter elements to intercept and separate impurities in the coolant, purifying the coolant and preventing impurities from entering the cooling nozzle 51 with the coolant, avoiding clogging of the cooling nozzle 51, ensuring normal cooling operation, and preventing impurities from depositing and adhering inside the pipes, reducing wear and corrosion.

[0054] Preferably, a data transmission interface 6 is also included, connected to the control unit 4, for transmitting the calibration pressure data to an external device for storage and analysis. Its working principle is that the control unit 4 converts the calibration pressure data via sensor conversion, analog-to-digital conversion, and encoding, then packages it into data frames according to specific communication protocols such as USB and Ethernet, and transmits it to the external device via wired or wireless physical lines. The external device receives, unpacks, decodes, and restores the data. This design not only records calibration pressure data in detail, providing traceability for troubleshooting product quality issues, but also assists in real-time equipment monitoring and predictive maintenance. Long-term data mining allows for insights into equipment operating trends, enabling early prevention of malfunctions. At the process level, it provides key data support for calibration process optimization and new product development, facilitating precise parameter adjustments. Simultaneously, in production management, it helps evaluate production efficiency, strengthen quality control, and provide a strong basis for scientific decision-making, comprehensively improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0055] This utility model discloses a copper rod straightening pressure adjustment device. During operation, the specifications of the copper rod are first input through the input module 44. The microprocessor 41 of the control unit 4 retrieves the straightening pressure parameters corresponding to the specifications of the copper rod from the storage module 42, serving as the basis for setting the pressure during the straightening process. Guided by the guide wheels 221 of the guide mechanism 22, the copper rod accurately enters between the straightening rollers 21. The rotation of the guide wheels 221 generates rolling friction, applying a lateral guiding force to the copper rod, ensuring the positional accuracy and movement stability of the copper rod. The copper rod passes through the staggered straightening rollers 21, and the straightening rollers 21 apply a force to the copper rod, causing... The bent copper rod is gradually straightened. The elastic buffer layer 211 on the surface of the straightening roller 21 absorbs and disperses the pressure, preventing excessive local pressure and damage to the surface of the copper rod. During the straightening process, the pressure generated by the contact between the straightening roller 21 and the copper rod is transmitted to the pressure sensor 32. The pressure sensor 32 converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal and feeds it back to the microprocessor 41 of the control unit 4. The microprocessor 41 processes and analyzes the signal, and uses a specific algorithm and logic to determine whether the current straightening pressure meets the requirements. If the pressure does not meet the requirements, the microprocessor 41 issues a command to control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 31 to adjust the straightening roller 21. The pressure of the copper rod is precisely adjusted; the pressure sensor 32 monitors pressure changes in real time, and once the pressure is abnormal, the microprocessor 41 controls the electric push rod 31 to automatically adjust according to the feedback signal, so that the straightening pressure is kept within a suitable range; the display module 43 displays the current straightening pressure, the set pressure, and the specifications of the copper rod in real time, and the operator can set parameters and adjust the operation according to the displayed information; when the straightening pressure exceeds the set safety range, the alarm module 45 receives the instruction from the microprocessor 41 and issues an alarm in the form of sound, light, etc., to remind the operator to take measures to avoid damage to the equipment and the copper rod; The coolant circulation pump 52 draws coolant from the coolant tank and delivers it to the cooling nozzle 51 at a certain pressure and flow rate. The cooling nozzle 51 sprays coolant onto the copper rod and straightening roller 21 to absorb the heat generated by friction and straightening force, thereby reducing the temperature of the copper rod and straightening roller and maintaining the stability of the copper rod's performance. After absorbing heat, the coolant returns to the coolant tank for cooling and replenishment. The filter element 53 intercepts and separates impurities in the coolant. The data transmission interface 6 transmits the straightening pressure data to external devices for storage and analysis, providing data support for product quality traceability, equipment monitoring and maintenance, process optimization, and production management.

[0056] The copper rod straightening pressure adjustment device of this utility model has common mechanical methods in terms of installation, connection or setting. It can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
