Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated equipment, and in particular to a processing apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of photovoltaic and semiconductor products, sheet materials (such as silicon wafers) need to be placed in a reactor for coating processing. The reactor requires heating wires, which heat up when energized to raise the sheet material to the required processing temperature. The heating wires can include multiple spiral sections and bridging sections. The spiral sections can be spaced apart, and a bridging section can connect every two adjacent spiral sections. The bridging section can be formed by straightening the spiral sections.

[0003] Currently, the dimensions of the bridge section are usually adjusted manually by the staff. The staff needs to use a measuring ruler to measure the bridge section, and manually stretch the spiral part located at at least one end of the bridge section when the length of the bridge section has not reached the preset range, so as to increase the length of the spiral part that is straightened, thereby increasing the length of the bridge section. After straightening the spiral part for a certain length, the staff needs to use a measuring ruler to measure the length of the bridge section again to avoid the length of the bridge section exceeding the preset range, which would be inconvenient to operate.

[0011] Optionally, the detection component includes: a second detection element disposed on the base plate, the second detection element and the first detection element being located on opposite sides of the moving member in the first direction, the first detection element being used to detect whether the moving member has moved to the starting position, wherein the starting position is used to indicate the position of the moving member before the bridge portion between the two spiral portions is processed.

[0012] Optionally, the first positioning component includes: a positioning seat disposed on a base plate; a first positioning shaft extending along a second direction and disposed on the positioning seat, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; and a first positioning cylinder sleeved on the first positioning shaft and rotatably connected to the first positioning shaft, the first positioning cylinder being used to insert and fix a spiral part.

[0013] Optionally, the first positioning shaft includes: a positioning part located on a first side of the positioning seat in a second direction, a first positioning cylinder sleeved on the positioning part, and the length of the positioning part being greater than the length of the first positioning cylinder in the second direction; a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the first connecting part and the second connecting part being respectively connected to the two ends of the positioning part, the diameter of the positioning part being greater than the diameter of the first connecting part and the second connecting part, the first connecting part passing through the positioning seat in the second direction, a first fixing member connected to the first connecting part, the first fixing member and the positioning part cooperating to clamp the positioning seat, and a second fixing member provided on the second connecting part, the second fixing member cooperating with the positioning seat to restrict the movement of the first positioning cylinder; wherein, the second direction has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other.

[0015] The processing apparatus provided in this application, through the detection component's monitoring of the position of the second positioning component and the triggering of the second positioning component to stop moving, allows the second positioning component to stop moving each time it moves away from the first positioning component to stretch the bridge section. When the length of the bridge section meets the preset requirements, the second positioning component can stop moving, thus automatically completing the processing of the bridge section in the furnace wire to obtain a bridge section with the preset length. This reduces the need for manual measurement and straightening of the bridge section, lowers the difficulty of processing the bridge section, and improves the convenience of furnace wire processing.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments.

[0029] The term "multiple" in this application refers to two or more. Furthermore, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the description of this application are used only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor as indicating or implying order.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that they are examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design options. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application illustrates a processing apparatus 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. In an embodiment of the present application, the processing apparatus 100 can process the furnace wire 200, completing the stretching and shaping of the bridge portion 202 in the furnace wire 200.

[0032] It is understood that the furnace wire 200 can be an electric heating wire that can generate heat after being energized. The furnace wire 200 can be used in the reaction furnace that is needed in the process of processing photovoltaic products or semiconductor products. The furnace wire 200 can generate heat to heat the sheet material in the reaction furnace, so that the sheet material can be processed in the reaction furnace.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, the type of sheet material is not specifically limited. For example, the sheet material may be, but is not limited to, silicon wafers, silicon carbide wafers, or wafers.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, the specific type of processing of the sheet material in the reactor is not limited. For example, the sheet material can be coated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes in the reactor.

[0035] In embodiments of this application, the furnace wire 200 may include a plurality of spiral portions 201 and a plurality of bridge portions 202. The spiral portions 201 may be spaced apart, and a bridge portion 202 may be integrally fixedly connected between every two adjacent spiral portions 201. Each bridge portion 202 may be located at the same end of two adjacent spiral portions 201, and at least one segment of each spiral portion 201 is connected to a bridge portion 202. By stretching and shaping the end of the spiral portion 201, a bridge portion 202 can be formed between the spiral portion 201 and adjacent spiral portions 201. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two spiral sections 201 from the furnace wire 200 are shown in the image.

[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 3For example, each heating element 200 may include N spiral sections 201 and N-1 bridging sections 202. The N spiral sections 201 may be spaced apart along a preset direction and may be sequentially arranged from the first spiral section 201 to the Nth spiral section 201 along the preset direction. Thus, one end of the first spiral section 201 is connected to the bridging section 202, one end of the Nth spiral section 201 is connected to the bridging section 202, and both ends of each of the remaining spiral sections 201 are connected to the bridging section 202, with each bridging section 202 connecting two adjacent spiral sections 201. Here, N is an integer greater than 1.

[0037] In embodiments of this application, the length direction, width direction, and height direction of the processing device 100 can be defined as a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z, respectively. The second direction Y may have a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other. For example, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first side can be the side in which the arrow of the second direction Y is pointing, and the second side can be the side in which the arrow of the second direction Y is turning away.

[0038] In one embodiment, the processing apparatus 100 may include a base plate 10, a first positioning component 20, a second positioning component 30, a drive component 40, and a detection component 50. The first positioning component 20 may be fixedly mounted on the base plate 10. The second positioning component 30 may be arranged with the first positioning component 20 in a first direction X, and the second positioning component 30 may be movably connected to the base plate 10 in the first direction X. The drive component 40 may be connected to the second positioning component 30 and may drive the second positioning component 30 to move in the first direction X, causing the second positioning component 30 to move closer to or further away from the first positioning component 20. The detection component 50 may be disposed on the base plate 10 and may detect the position of the second positioning component 30.

[0039] The first positioning component 20 and the second positioning component 30 can be fixed in two adjacent spiral parts 201 respectively. Then, the driving component 40 can drive the second positioning component 30 to move away from the first positioning component 20, thereby stretching the bridge part 202 between the two spiral parts 201 and increasing the length of the bridge part 202. When the detection component 50 detects that the second positioning component 30 has moved to the end position 102, it can trigger the driving component 40 to stop working. At this time, the length of the bridge part 202 can meet the preset requirements. The operator can remove the two spiral parts 201 from the first positioning component 20 and the second positioning component 30, then operate the second positioning component 30 to reset, and continue to put the adjacent spiral parts 201 onto the first positioning component 20 and the second positioning component 30 to continue processing the bridge part 202.

[0040] It is understandable that when the length of the bridge section 202 is extended to be within the preset length range, the length of the bridge section 202 meets the preset requirements.

[0041] Thus, by detecting the position of the second positioning component 30 by the detection component 50, the length of the machined bridge portion 202 can be detected. When the second positioning component 30 moves to the end position 102, the drive component 40 is triggered to stop working, thus maintaining the length of the bridge portion 202 at its current length, thereby completing the machining of the bridge portion 202. During this process, it is not necessary for operators to measure the length of the bridge portion 202 with a measuring ruler, nor is it necessary for operators to manually stretch the bridge portion 202 to adjust its length, which reduces the difficulty of machining the bridge portion 202 and improves the convenience of machining it.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the fixing method for fixed installation and fixed connection is not specifically limited. For example, the fixing method may include, but is not limited to, bolt fixing, screw fixing, welding fixing, integral molding fixing, snap-on fixing and adhesive fixing.

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first positioning component 20 may include a positioning seat 21, a first positioning shaft 22, and a first positioning cylinder 23. The positioning seat 21 may be fixedly mounted on the base plate 10. The first positioning shaft 22 may be fixedly mounted on the positioning seat 21. The first positioning shaft 22 may extend along a second direction Y and may protrude from a first side of the positioning seat 21 in the second direction Y. The first positioning cylinder 23 may be sleeved on the first positioning shaft 22. The first positioning cylinder 23 may extend along the second direction Y. A gap may exist between the inner peripheral wall of the first positioning cylinder 23 and the peripheral wall of the first positioning shaft 22, allowing the first positioning cylinder 23 to rotate on the first positioning shaft 22, thus achieving a rotatable connection between the first positioning cylinder 23 and the first positioning shaft 22. A spiral portion 201 that needs to be fixed to the first positioning cylinder 23 may be sleeved on the first positioning cylinder 23, and the outer peripheral wall of the first positioning cylinder 23 may abut against the spiral portion 201; by sleeved on the first positioning cylinder 23, the spiral portion 201 and the first positioning cylinder 23 can be fixed.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figure 6The second positioning component 30 may include a movable base 31, a second positioning shaft 32, and a second positioning cylinder 33. The movable base 31 is arranged with the positioning base 21 in the first direction X. The movable base 31 may include a movable part 311 and a connecting part 312. The movable part 311 may be connected to the drive component 40 and may be movably connected to the base plate 10 in the first direction X. The connecting part 312 may be fixedly mounted on one side of the movable part 311 in the second direction Y, and the top of the connecting part 312 protrudes from the top of the movable part 311. The second positioning shaft 32 may be fixedly mounted on the connecting part 312. The second positioning shaft 32 may extend along the second direction Y and may protrude from a second side of the connecting part 312 in the second direction Y. The second positioning cylinder 33 may be sleeved on the second positioning shaft 32. The second positioning cylinder 33 may extend along the second direction Y. A gap may exist between the inner peripheral wall of the second positioning cylinder 33 and the peripheral wall of the second positioning shaft 32, allowing the second positioning cylinder 33 to rotate on the second positioning shaft 32, thus achieving a rotatable connection between the second positioning cylinder 33 and the second positioning shaft 32. The spiral portion 201 of the second positioning cylinder 33 can be sleeved onto the second positioning cylinder 33, and the outer peripheral wall of the second positioning cylinder 33 can abut against the spiral portion 201; by sleeved onto the second positioning cylinder 33, the spiral portion 201 and the second positioning cylinder 33 can be fixed.

[0045] It is understood that the detection component 50 can detect the position of the second positioning seat 21 by detecting the position of the moving seat 31 and determining whether the moving seat 31 has moved to the endpoint position 102.

[0046] It is understood that two adjacent spiral parts 201 are respectively fitted onto the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33. When the drive assembly 40 drives the moving seat 31 away from the positioning seat 21, the spiral part 201 located on the first positioning cylinder 23 can rotate relative to the first positioning cylinder 23 and / or rotate synchronously with the first positioning cylinder 23. The spiral part 201 located on the second positioning cylinder 33 can rotate relative to the second positioning cylinder 33 and / or rotate synchronously with the second positioning cylinder 33. The rotation of the two spiral parts 201 causes the bridge part 202 connected between the two spiral parts 201 to be stretched. At this time, the bridge part 202 can extend along the first direction X. As the moving seat 31 moves, the length of the bridge part 202 can increase until the detection assembly 50 detects that the positioning seat 21 has moved to the end position 102. At this time, the drive assembly 40 can stop driving the moving seat 31 to move. At this time, the length of the bridge part 202 can meet the preset requirements.

[0047] In this way, the two adjacent spiral parts 201 can rotate on the first positioning component 20 and the second positioning component 30 respectively, thereby reducing the risk of the two spiral parts 201 breaking due to tension when processing the bridge part 202, and improving the pass rate of the processing device 100 in processing the furnace wire 200.

[0048] It is understood that the two spiral portions 201 can be respectively fitted onto the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33 to achieve fixation with the first positioning component 20 and the second positioning component 30, and to allow the spiral portions 201 to be detached from the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33. In other cases, the two spiral portions 201 can also achieve fixation and detachment with the first positioning component 20 and the second positioning component 30 respectively through common methods in related fields such as clamping and adsorption, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first positioning shaft 22 may include a positioning portion 221, a first connecting portion 222, and a second connecting portion 223. The first connecting portion 222 and the second connecting portion 223 may be located at opposite ends of the positioning portion 221 in the second direction Y, and both may be integrally formed and fixed with the positioning portion 221. The diameter of the positioning portion 221 may be larger than the diameter of the first connecting portion 222 and the diameter of the second connecting portion 223.

[0050] The first connecting portion 222 can pass through the positioning seat 21 along the second direction Y and protrude from the second side of the positioning seat 21. The portion of the first connecting portion 222 protruding from the positioning seat 21 can be fixedly connected to a first fixing member 224, which can abut against the second side of the positioning seat 21. The positioning portion 221 and the second connecting portion 223 are located on the first side of the positioning seat 21, and the positioning portion 221 can abut against the first side of the positioning seat 21. The positioning portion 221 and the first fixing member 224 cooperate to clamp the positioning seat 21, thereby restricting the movement of the first positioning shaft 22 in the second direction Y. The first positioning cylinder 23 can be sleeved on the positioning portion 221, and there can be a gap between the inner peripheral wall of the first positioning cylinder 23 and the outer peripheral wall of the positioning portion 221, so that the first positioning cylinder 23 can rotate on the positioning portion 221; and the length of the positioning portion 221 can be greater than the length of the first positioning cylinder 23. A second fixing member 225 can be fixedly connected to the second connecting part 223. The diagonal length of the cross-section of the second fixing member 225 is greater than the diameter of the positioning part 221. The second fixing member 225 can cooperate with the positioning seat 21 to block the first positioning cylinder 23 on both sides in the second direction Y, thereby restricting the movement of the first positioning cylinder 23.

[0051] It is understood that by cooperating with the first connecting part 222, the first fixing member 224 and the second fixing member 225, the first positioning shaft 22 can be fixed on the positioning seat 21, and the movement of the first positioning cylinder 23 can be restricted by cooperating with the positioning seat 21 and the second fixing member 225, thereby reducing the risk of the first positioning cylinder 23 and / or the first positioning shaft 22 falling off the positioning seat 21 during the processing of the furnace wire 200 by the processing device 100, reducing the risk of the furnace wire 200 being damaged by impact, and improving the pass rate of the processing device 100 in processing the furnace wire 200.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the type of the first fastener 224 is not specifically limited. For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing member 224 can be a nut, and the first fixing member 224 can be threadedly connected to the first connecting part 222. For example, the first fixing member 224 can include a first nut and a first washer. The first washer can be sleeved on the first connecting part 222 and abut against the positioning seat 21. The first nut can be threadedly connected to the first connecting part 222, and the first nut can be pressed onto the first washer when tightened.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, the type of the second fixing member 225 is not specifically limited. For example, the second fixing member 225 can be a nut, the second fixing member 225 can be threaded onto the second connecting portion 223, and the diagonal length of the cross-section of the second fixing member 225 can be greater than the diameter of the connecting portion, thereby allowing the second fixing member 225 to block the first positioning cylinder 23. For another example, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the second fixing member 225 may include a second nut 2251 and a second washer 2252. The second washer 2252 may be sleeved on the second connecting part 223 and abut against the positioning part 221. The second nut 2251 may be threaded to the second connecting part 223, and the second nut 2251 may be pressed onto the second washer 2252 when tightened. The diagonal length of the cross-section of the second nut 2251 and / or the outer diameter of the washer may be greater than the diameter of the second connecting part 223, so that the second fixing member 225 may block the first positioning cylinder 23.

[0054] It is understood that the structure of the second positioning shaft 32 can be the same as or similar to the structure of the first positioning shaft 22, and the connection method of the second positioning shaft 32 and the adapter 312 can be the same as or similar to the connection method of the first positioning shaft 22 and the positioning seat 21. For details, please refer to... Figure 5 The details and related descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 In some embodiments, the drive assembly 40 may include a fixing frame 41, a lead screw 42, and a drive member 43. The fixing frame 41 may include a base 411, upright plates 412, and a support base 413. The base 411 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 10, thereby fixing the fixing frame 41 to the base plate 10. The base 411 may be a base 411 extending along a first direction X. There may be two upright plates 412, which are spaced apart along the first direction X and fixedly mounted at both ends of the base 411. The support base 413 may be fixedly mounted on the base 411 and located between the two upright plates 412, with the support base 413 spaced apart from both upright plates 412. A slide rail 414 is also fixedly mounted on the base 411, and the slide rail 414 may extend along the first direction X.

[0056] The lead screw 42 can extend along the first direction X. The lead screw 42 is rotatably connected to two upright plates 412, or rotatably connected to one upright plate 412 and passing through the other upright plate 412 along the first direction X. The lead screw 42 can pass through the support base 413 and is rotatably connected to the support base 413. The lead screw 42 passes through the moving part 311 along the first direction X and is threadedly connected to the moving part 311. The bottom of the moving part 311 has a groove 313, and a slider 314 is housed in the groove 313. The slider 314 can be fixedly connected to the moving part 311. The slider 314 is slidably connected to the slide rail 414 in the first direction X, so as to realize the movable connection between the moving base 31 and the base plate 10 in the first direction X.

[0057] The drive unit 43 is fixedly mounted on a vertical plate 412, and the mover of the drive unit 43 can be fixedly connected to the lead screw 42. The drive unit 43 can drive the lead screw 42 to rotate, causing the movable seat 31 to move in the first direction X.

[0058] It is understood that the lead screw 42 can be rotatably connected to the vertical plate 412 and the support base 413 through rotating connecting parts such as couplings and bearings, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0059] In the embodiments of this application, the number of slide rails 414 and sliders 314 is not specifically limited. For example, there are two slide rails 414 and two sliders 314. The two slide rails 414 are spaced apart in the second direction Y. The bottom of the moving part 311 has two grooves 313. The two grooves 313 are spaced apart in the second direction Y. Each groove 313 houses one slider 314. Both sliders 314 are fixedly connected to the moving base 31. The two sliders 314 are slidably connected to the two slide rails 414 in the first direction X.

[0060] It is understood that when the drive member 43 drives the lead screw 42 to rotate, the lead screw 42, which is threadedly connected to the moving part 311, can move along the extension direction of the lead screw 42 when the lead screw 42 rotates, thereby moving the moving seat 31 away from the positioning seat 21, moving the two helical parts 201 away from each other, and increasing the length of the bridge part 202 between the two helical parts 201.

[0061] When the movable seat 31 moves to the end position 102, the driving component 43 can stop working, thereby stopping the movable seat 31 from working. At this time, the length of the bridge section 202 meets the preset requirements.

[0062] In some embodiments, the detection component 50 may include a movable element 51, a first detection element 52, and a second detection element 53. The movable element 51 may be fixedly mounted on one side of the movable base 31 in the second direction Y. Both the first detection element 52 and the second detection element 53 may be fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 41 by means of a bracket, and both are located on the same side of the mounting bracket 41 in the second direction Y as the movable element 51. The first detection element 52 and the second detection element 53 are spaced apart in the first direction X, and the movable element 51 is located between the first detection element 52 and the second detection element 53. The distance between the first detection element 52 and the second detection element 53 in the first direction X is greater than the width of the movable element 51 in the first direction X.

[0063] Please refer to the following: Figure 8 and Figure 9 A starting position 101 and an ending position 102 can be set on the fixed frame 41. The starting position 101 and the ending position 102 are spaced apart in the first direction X. The moving member 51 can move from the starting position 101 toward the ending position 102. At this time, as the moving member 51 moves, the distance between the moving seat 31 and the positioning seat 21 gradually increases, so that the distance between the two spiral parts 201 connected to the first positioning component 20 and the second positioning component 30 gradually increases, and the length of the bridge part 202 between the two spiral parts 201 gradually increases. Figure 9 As shown, when the moving part 51 is at the starting position 101, the distance between the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33 can satisfy the connection of two adjacent spiral parts 201 that have not undergone the bridging part 202 processing. If the spiral parts 201 are not connected to the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33 at this time, the operator can respectively fit the two adjacent spiral parts 201 that have not undergone the bridging part 202 processing onto the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33; Figure 8 As shown, when the moving part 51 is at the end position 102, the length of the bridge part 202 between the two spiral parts 201 meets the preset requirements. At this time, the workers can remove the two spiral parts 201 from the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33 respectively.

[0064] The first detection element 52 can detect whether the moving element 51 has moved to the end position 102, that is, it can detect whether the length of the bridge section 202 meets the preset requirements. The second detection element 53 can detect whether the moving element 51 has moved to the starting position 101.

[0065] Please refer to the following: Figure 10The processing device 100 may further include a processor 60. The processor 60 can be communicatively connected to the first detection element 52, the second detection element 53, and the drive element 43. When the drive element 43 drives the movable seat 31 to move away from the positioning seat 21, if the first detection element 52 detects that the movable seat 31 has moved to the endpoint position 102, the first detection element 52 can output first detection information to the processor 60. After receiving the first detection information, the processor 60 can determine that the movable seat 31 has moved to the endpoint position 102, and that the length of the bridge portion 202 meets the preset requirements. At this time, the processor 60 can output stop information to the drive element 43, triggering the drive element 43 to stop working and stopping the processing device 100 from processing the bridge portion 202.

[0066] After the operator removes the two spiral sections 201 and the bridging section 202 from the processing device 100, the processor 60 can control the drive unit 43 to move the movable seat 31 and reset it to a position close to the positioning seat 21. At this time, if the second detection unit 53 detects that the movable unit 51 has moved to the starting position 101, the second detection unit 53 can output second detection information to the processor 60. After receiving the second detection information, the processor 60 can determine that the movable seat 31 has completed the reset. At this time, the processor 60 can output a stop message to the drive unit 43, triggering the drive unit 43 to stop working, so that the movable seat 31 remains in its current position. Then, the operator can put the two spiral sections 201 that have not been processed for the bridging section 202 onto the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33 respectively, and the processor 60 can control the drive unit to move the movable seat 31 away from the positioning seat 21, so that the processing device 100 can continue to process the bridging section 202.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the method of communication connection is not specifically limited. For example, the communication connection can be a wired communication connection implemented through components such as signal lines. As another example, the communication connection can be a wireless communication connection implemented through technologies such as 3G, 4G, 5G, Bluetooth, wireless local area network, or cellular network.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, the type of the driving component 43 is not specifically limited. For example, the driving component 43 can be, but is not limited to, a motor. For example, the driving component 43 can be a dual-mode stepper motor, and a handle 431 can be installed on the driving component 43. When the driving component 43 is powered on, it can work automatically to drive the lead screw 42 to rotate; and the operator can turn the handle 431 to make the driving component 43 work when it is not powered on, so that the driving component 43 can drive the lead screw 42 to rotate.

[0069] It is understood that the processor 60 can communicate with a reminder device (not shown). When the drive component 43 is not powered on, and the operator turns the handle 431 to make the drive component 43 work, the processor 60 can output a warning message to the reminder device when it receives the first detection information and the second detection information, so that the reminder device can output a warning message to remind the operator that the moving component 51 has moved to the starting position 101 or the ending position 102, and remind the operator to stop turning the handle 431.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, the method by which the reminder device displays warning information is not specifically limited. For example, the reminder device may include multiple indicator lights, and the reminder device may illuminate the indicator lights used to indicate that the moving part 51 is located at the starting position 101 or the ending position 102, so as to output warning information. As another example, the reminder device may be a display screen, and the reminder device may display text or images used to indicate that the moving part 51 is located at the starting position 101 or the ending position 102, so as to output warning information. As yet another example, the reminder device may include a loudspeaker, and the reminder device may broadcast audio indicating that the moving part 51 is located at the starting position 101 or the ending position 102, so as to output warning information.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, the types of the first detection element 52 and the second detection element 53 are not specifically limited. For example, both the first detection element 52 and the second detection element 53 can be proximity sensors, and the first detection element 52 and the second detection element 53 can be located at the end point position 102 and the starting point position 101, respectively. When the moving element 51 moves to the end point position 102, the moving element 51 enters the detection range of the first detection element 52 or comes into contact with the first detection element 52. At this time, the first detection element 52 can detect that the moving element 51 has reached the end point position 102 and output the first detection information. When the moving element 51 moves to the starting point position 101, the moving element enters the detection range of the second detection element 53 or comes into contact with the second detection element 53. At this time, the second detection element 53 can detect that the moving element 51 has reached the starting point position 101 and output the second detection information.

[0072] With the processing apparatus 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, when the moving member 51 is located at the starting position 101 and the spiral portion 201 is not connected to the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33, the operator can respectively fit two adjacent spiral portions 201 that have not been processed for the bridge portion 202 onto the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33. Then the processor 60 can control the driving member 43 to work, or the operator can turn the handle 431 to make the driving member 43 work, so that the moving seat 31 moves away from the positioning member, thereby increasing the length of the bridge portion 202 between the two spiral portions 201.

[0073] When the moving part 51 moves to the end position 102, the first detection part 52 outputs the first detection information to the processor 60. The processor 60 can output a stop information to the drive part 43 or output a warning information to the reminder device, causing the drive part 43 to stop working. At this time, the length of the bridge part 202 meets the preset requirements. Then, the operator can remove the two spiral parts 201 that have completed the processing of the bridge part 202 from the processing device 100.

[0074] Then, the processor 60 can control the drive unit 43 to work, or the operator can turn the handle 431 to make the drive unit 43 work, so that the moving seat 31 moves closer to the positioning member, and the moving seat 31 is reset. When the moving member 51 moves to the starting position 101, the second detection member 53 outputs the second detection information to the processor 60. The processor 60 can output a stop message to the drive unit 43 or output a warning message to the reminder device, so that the drive unit 43 stops working. Then, the operator can put the two adjacent spiral parts 201 that have not been processed by the bridge part 202 onto the first positioning cylinder 23 and the second positioning cylinder 33 respectively, so that the processing device 100 can continue to process the furnace wire 200.

[0075] It is understandable that by detecting the position of the moving seat 31 and triggering the drive component 40 to stop working, the drive component 40 can stop working in time each time the moving seat 31 moves away from the positioning seat 21 to stretch the bridge portion 202, and the length of the bridge portion 202 meets the preset requirements. This allows the processing device 100 to automatically process the bridge portion 202 in the furnace wire 200, obtaining a bridge portion 202 with the preset length. This reduces the need for manual measurement and straightening of the bridge portion 202, lowers the difficulty of processing the bridge portion 202, and improves the convenience of processing the furnace wire 200.

[0076] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this application.
