Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of O-chain technology, specifically to an O-chain forming mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The O-chain is a type of chain-making device, named for the fact that each small link resembles the letter O. O-chains are simple, stylish, sturdy, and can be paired with various pendants. They are also easy to repair and have high sales volume.

[0003] Currently, O-chains on the market are often formed manually. This involves first manually shaping straight steel wire into several O-rings, then assembling these O-rings to form the O-chain keychain. This method has the following drawbacks:

[0004] Manual operation is inefficient and slow, and cannot meet market demand.

[0005] Manual operation results in inconsistent quality and is prone to defects such as chain breakage, misalignment, and scratches.

[0006] Manual operations are physically demanding and can easily cause fatigue and injury to workers;

[0007] High manual operation costs increase production expenses. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and thus provide an O-chain forming mechanism;

[0010] This utility model provides an O-chain forming mechanism.

[0011] The device includes a forming mechanism, a driving mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and a frame. The forming mechanism, driving mechanism, cutting mechanism, and clamping mechanism are all mounted on the frame. The driving mechanism drives the forming mechanism to rotate.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an O-chain forming mechanism.

[0030] The system includes a forming mechanism 2, a driving mechanism, a cutting mechanism 3, a clamping mechanism 4, and a frame 1. The forming mechanism 2, the driving mechanism, the cutting mechanism 3, and the clamping mechanism 4 are all mounted on the frame 1. The driving mechanism is used to drive the forming mechanism 2 to rotate. The forming mechanism 2 is used to form straight steel wire into O-rings. The cutting mechanism 3 is used to cut the O-rings formed by the forming mechanism 2 into several O-rings. The clamping mechanism 4 is used to connect several O-rings into an O-chain.

[0031] The O-chain forming mechanism 2 of this utility model mainly includes forming mechanism 2, driving mechanism, cutting mechanism 3, clamping mechanism 4, frame 1 and other components. The structure and function of each component are described in detail below.

[0032] Forming Mechanism 2: Forming mechanism 2 is used to form straight steel wire into annular O-rings, and includes components such as a rotating shaft 14, a forming plate, and a forming wheel. The rotating shaft 14 is mounted on the frame 1 via bearings, which are used for the rotation of the rotating shaft 14. The forming plate is located on one side of the output end of the rotating shaft 14, and the forming wheel is located on the forming plate. The forming wheel is used to form straight steel wire into annular O-rings. The forming plate is also provided with guide grooves to guide the straight steel wire into the forming wheel.

[0033] Drive Mechanism: The drive mechanism drives the forming mechanism 2 to rotate, and includes components such as the driving mechanism 5 and the driven mechanism 6. The rotation of the driving mechanism 5 drives the driven mechanism 6 to rotate. The driving mechanism 5 includes components such as a motor, a transmission shaft 7, a first gear 8, and a second gear 9. The motor is mounted on the base frame, and the transmission shaft 7 is connected to the output shaft of the motor. Both the first gear 8 and the second gear 9 are mounted on the transmission shaft 7. The driven mechanism 6 includes components such as a connecting shaft 10, a connecting rod 11, a bevel gear 12, a rack 13, and a third gear 15. The bevel gear 12 is mounted on the connecting shaft 10 and meshes with the second gear 9. The connecting shaft 10 is connected to one end of the rack 13 via the connecting rod 11. The third gear 15 is mounted on the rotating shaft 14, and the rack 13 is positioned below the third gear 15, meshing with the third gear 15. When the motor starts, the transmission shaft 7 drives the first gear 8 and the second gear 9 to rotate. The second gear 9 drives the bevel gear 12 to rotate. The bevel gear 12 drives the rack 13 to reciprocate through the connecting rod 11. The rack 13 drives the third gear 15 to rotate. The third gear 15 drives the rotating shaft 14 and the forming plate to rotate.

[0034] Cutting Mechanism 3: The cutting mechanism 3 is used to cut the O-rings formed by the forming mechanism 2 into several O-rings. It includes components such as a cutting blade 16, a fixing block 17, and a cylinder 18. The fixing block 17 is mounted on the frame 1, and the cylinder 18 is mounted on the side wall of the fixing block 17. The output shaft of the cylinder 18 passes through the side wall of the fixing block 17 and is connected to the cutting blade 16. The cylinder 18 is used to drive the extension and retraction of the cutting blade 16, thereby cutting the single set of annular O-rings formed by the forming mechanism 2. When the cylinder 18 extends, the cutting blade 16 moves downward, cutting an opening on one side of the annular O-ring; when the cylinder 18 retracts, the cutting blade 16 moves upward, cutting an opening on the other side of the annular O-ring. This results in an O-ring with two openings.

[0035] Clamping Mechanism 4: Clamping mechanism 4 is used to connect several O-rings into an O-chain, and includes grippers, gripper supports, and gripper drive components. The gripper supports are mounted on the frame 1, and the gripper drive components are mounted on the gripper supports. The gripper drive components are used to drive the opening, closing, and rotation of the grippers. The grippers are located at the output end of the gripper drive components, and the grippers are used to grasp the O-rings. The clamping mechanism 4 grips several sets of O-rings one by one to form an O-chain. Its working principle is as follows: First, the clamping mechanism 4 grips the first set of O-rings, with its opening facing the output end of the rotating shaft 14. Then, the clamping mechanism 4 rotates 90 degrees, so that the opening of the first set of O-rings faces the next set. Next, the clamping mechanism 4 grips the second set of O-rings, with its opening facing the output end of the rotating shaft 14. Simultaneously, the opening of the first set of O-rings fits onto the side wall of the second set, thus connecting the two sets of O-rings. Finally, the clamping mechanism 4 rotates 90 degrees again, so that the opening of the second set of O-rings faces the next set. These steps are repeated until all the O-rings are gripped, thus forming an O-chain.

[0036] Collection device: The collection device is mounted on frame 1 and is used to collect O-chains. The surface of the collection device is provided with a protective layer to protect the O-chains from falling in. The collection device can be a box, a basket, a bag, or any object capable of holding the O-chains.

[0037] A fixed frame 19 is provided on the frame 1, and a bearing is provided inside the fixed frame 19. The rotating shaft 14 is mounted on the frame 1 via the bearing, and the bearing is used for the rotation of the rotating shaft 14.
