Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging technology, specifically to a wire feeding and storage system. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of bundling and packaging materials, iron wire is needed for binding. However, the iron wire is usually in the form of coils after production and the iron wire required for bundling materials needs to be linear. Therefore, the iron wire coils need to be straightened. In order to ensure that the iron wire is linear in structure during the process of bundling and packaging materials, we provide an iron wire feeding and storage system. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wire feeding and storage system.
[0004] The wire feeding and storage system of this utility model includes:
[0005] The storage mechanism includes a storage cage, the interior of which is provided with a rack for placing wire rolls;
[0006] A wire driving mechanism includes a drive wheel mounted on a fixed plate, a clamping wheel mounted on a movable plate, several guide grooves mounted between the drive wheel and the clamping wheel, and a power source for rotating the drive wheel. The drive wheel's rotation pulls out or retracts the wire. The movable plate slides relative to the fixed plate via a guide rail, and a limit frame is fixedly connected to the side of the guide rail away from the fixed plate. A spring is provided between the limit frame and the movable plate, and a control lever controls the sliding of the movable plate.
[0007] The straightening guide mechanism includes a straightening wheel assembly for straightening iron wires mounted on top of the storage cage, and a guide tube installed between the straightening wheel assembly and the iron wire drive mechanism.
[0008] Furthermore, several of the guide grooves are correspondingly installed on both sides of the drive wheel, and the guide grooves form clamping positions. The guide grooves on both sides of the clamping positions are provided with slopes that are adapted to the drive wheel and the clamping wheel.
[0009] Furthermore, the guide groove includes a guide block, a guide cover plate is mounted on the guide block, and a guide groove for forming a guide hole is formed between the guide cover plate and the guide block, and the end of the guide hole is tapered.
[0010] Specifically, the straightening wheel assembly includes two small straightening wheels and one large straightening wheel, with an S-shaped straightening channel formed between the two small straightening wheels and the large straightening wheel.
[0011] Furthermore, a limiting cover is detachably connected to the top of the placement rack, and a limiting rod that overlaps the limiting cover is installed on the inner side of the storage cage.
[0012] Specifically, a buffer box is installed between the guide tube and the wire driving mechanism. The buffer box includes a box body with a cavity. The box body is connected to a movable cover plate by a hinge. Limiting blocks are provided at both ends of the movable cover plate. A buffer space for accommodating the wire is formed between the two limiting blocks and the cavity. A limiting channel is provided between the limiting blocks and the bottom of the inner wall of the cavity.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide tube is perpendicular to the limiting channel, and an auxiliary roller is provided at the beginning of the limiting channel.
[0014] Furthermore, the width of the limiting channel is adapted to the diameter of the wire, and its height is less than twice the diameter of the wire.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention utilizes a wire drive mechanism in conjunction with a straightening and guiding mechanism to effectively draw a coil of wire into a single wire. During the wire drawing process, the height of the wire coil is limited by a limiting rod and a limiting top cover, restricting the range of motion during wire drawing and straightening, thus improving safety. It can be used as a wire feeding mechanism on equipment that requires the use of wire for packaging and bundling. The buffer box allows it to temporarily store excess drawn wire, ensuring that the cut ends of the drawn wire do not obstruct the operation of other equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 The wire feeding and storage system of this utility model includes:
[0034] The storage mechanism 8 includes a storage cage 801, and the interior of the storage cage 801 is provided with a storage rack 802 for placing the wire rolls;
[0035] The wire drive mechanism 4 includes a drive wheel 409 mounted on a fixed plate 402, a clamping wheel 406 mounted on a movable plate 405, a plurality of guide grooves 404 mounted between the drive wheel 409 and the clamping wheel 406, and a power source 401 for rotating the drive wheel 409. The rotation of the drive wheel 409 pulls the wire out or retracts it. The movable plate 405 slides relative to the fixed plate 402 via a guide rail 403. A limit frame 408 is fixedly connected to the side of the guide rail 403 away from the fixed plate 402. A spring 407 is provided between the limit frame 408 and the movable plate 405. A control lever controls the sliding of the movable plate 405.
[0036] The straightening guide mechanism 7 includes a straightening wheel assembly 701 for straightening iron wire installed on the top of the storage cage 801, and a guide tube 702 installed between the straightening wheel assembly 701 and the iron wire drive mechanism 4.
[0037] The power source 401 can be an electric motor or a hydraulic motor, or a mechanism such as a coupling, used to rotate the drive wheel 409.
[0038] Several guide grooves 404 are installed on both sides of the drive wheel 409. The guide grooves 404 form a clamping station 4041. The guide grooves 404 on both sides of the clamping station 4041 are provided with slopes 4042 that are adapted to the drive wheel 409 and the clamping wheel 406.
[0039] The guide slot 404 includes a guide block 4043, a guide cover plate 4045 is installed on the guide block 4043, a guide slot for forming a guide hole 4044 is provided between the guide cover plate 4045 and the guide block 4043, and the end of the guide hole 4044 is tapered.
[0040] The straightening wheel assembly 701 includes two small straightening wheels 7011 and one large straightening wheel 7012. An S-shaped straightening channel is formed between the two small straightening wheels 7011 and the large straightening wheel 7012. The two small straightening wheels 7011 and the large straightening wheel 7012 can make the arc larger and the straightening effect better in the same space.
[0041] The top of the placement rack 802 is detachably connected to a limiting top cover 803, and the inner side of the storage cage 801 is equipped with a limiting rod 804 that overlaps the limiting top cover 803.
[0042] A buffer box 6 is installed between the guide tube 702 and the wire drive mechanism 4. The buffer box 6 includes a box body 601 with a cavity 602. The box body 601 is connected to a movable cover plate 603 by a hinge. Limiting blocks 604 are provided at both ends of the movable cover plate 603. A buffer space for accommodating the wire is formed between the two limiting blocks 604 and the cavity 602. A limiting channel 605 is provided between the limiting blocks 604 and the bottom of the inner wall of the cavity 602.
[0043] The guide tube 702 is set perpendicularly to the limiting channel 605, and the beginning of the limiting channel 605 is provided with an auxiliary roller 606.
[0044] The width of the limiting channel 605 is adapted to the diameter of the wire, and its height is less than twice the diameter of the wire.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] Before use, manually insert the end of the wire into the S-shaped straightening channel in the straightening wheel set 701 between the limiting rods 804, then let the end of the wire pass through the guide tube 702 and through the limiting channel 605 in the buffer box 6, then let the end of the wire pass through the guide groove 404, and let the clamping wheel 406 clamp the wire in cooperation with the driving wheel 409 fixedly set by the spring 407 driving the movable plate 405.
[0047] When it is necessary to pull the wire located on the placement rack 802, the power source 401 in the wire drive mechanism 4 is activated to make the drive wheel 409 rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 409 will cause the clamped wire to move, thereby providing traction force for the wire.
[0048] When the wire is being pulled, the wire coil will be straightened by the action of the small straightening wheel 7011 and the large straightening wheel 7012 in the S-shaped straightening channel;
[0049] When the wire retracts under the drive of the wire drive mechanism 4, the wire retracts in the limiting channel 605. Because the guide tube 702 is set perpendicular to the limiting channel 605, the wire will be blocked by the inner wall of the guide tube 702 when it retracts. At this time, when the wire is subjected to the retraction force, it will bend between the two limiting blocks 604 and enter the cavity 602 of the box 601 for storage.
[0050] That is, the wire feeding device can effectively pull the wire coil into wire. It can be used as a wire feeding mechanism on some equipment that needs to use wire for packaging and bundling. The buffer box 6 is designed to temporarily store excess wire, so that the end of the wire will not obstruct the operation of other equipment after it is cut off.
[0051] The above are merely 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, improvements, etc., made to the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
