[0002] Wire rod coils are a crucial step in the wire rod production process, where rolled wire is coiled into a coil shape. This form not only facilitates transportation and storage but also ensures smooth production. Wire rod coils are typically made of metal. The coil plays a vital role in the production process, and its winding speed must be well-matched with the rolling speed of the rolling mill to ensure smooth production.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, the material is usually fed manually, the wire is wound onto the take-up drum, and then it is wound up. This long period of manual operation increases the labor intensity of the workers and wastes their time and energy. In addition, manually winding the wire onto the take-up drum also reduces the winding efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this automated wire coil feeding device uses an automatic feeding mechanism to move a connecting plate towards the winding drum via an electric push rod.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an automated feeding device for wire coils, including a frame 1, a winding drum 2 is provided on one side of the surface of the frame 1, and slots 7 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the winding drum 2 on the outer contour of the winding drum 2. A fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the other side of the surface of the frame 1, and an automatic feeding mechanism is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 3.
[0026] When the equipment is in use, the automatic feeding mechanism uses an electric push rod 4 to move the connecting plate 5 towards the winding drum 2, feeding the wire in the connecting plate 5 into the slot 7 on the outer contour of the winding drum 2 near the connecting plate 5. Then, the motor is started to drive the winding drum 2 to rotate, and then the wire is wound up. This allows the equipment to automatically feed wire, increasing the winding efficiency. In addition, the wire fixing drum 6 can be replaced by the limiting mechanism, so that the equipment can feed wires of different diameters.
[0027] The automatic feeding mechanism includes an electric push rod 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 3, a connecting plate 5 fixedly connected to the end of the fixed plate 3, a wire fixing cylinder 6 snapped into the bottom of the connecting plate 5, a connecting rod 8 fixedly connected to the top side of the upright 1 near the top of the take-up drum 2, an infrared sensor 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 8, and a snapping mechanism provided on the surface of the connecting plate 5.
[0028] Using the infrared sensor 9 at the bottom of the connecting rod 8, the four slots 7 on the outer contour of the take-up drum 2 are measured to see if they are perpendicularly intersecting. When the slots 7 are not perpendicularly intersecting, the motor on the take-up drum 2 can be started to rotate the take-up drum 2 and the state of the slots 7 on the take-up drum 2 can be finely adjusted. When the screw slots 7 are perpendicularly intersecting, the electric push rod 4 at the bottom of the fixed plate 3 can be started to drive the connecting plate 5 to reciprocate linearly, so that the connecting plate 5 moves towards the take-up drum 2. When the wire in the connecting plate 5 is engaged in the slot 7 on the outer contour of the take-up drum 2 near the connecting plate 5, the motor can then be started to drive the take-up drum 2 to rotate and wind the wire, thus increasing the automatic feeding effect when the equipment is in use.
[0029] The locking mechanism includes a limiting rod 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 5. A limiting groove 11 adapted to the limiting rod 10 is opened on one side of the top of the wire fixing cylinder 6. A movable groove 12 is opened on the surface of the connecting plate 5. Fixed rods 13 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the movable groove 12 near the surface. Sliding blocks 14 are slidably connected to the opposite sides of the two fixed rods 13. Rotation adjustment rods 15 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the two sliding blocks 14. A plug-in rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 14. A plug-in hole 17 for the plug-in rod 16 to be locked is opened through the top of the limiting rod 10 and the bottom of the inner wall of the limiting groove 11. A locking block 18 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the sliding block 14. A locking interface 19 is symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the movable groove 12. The main view shape of the limiting rod 10 is dovetail-shaped. The main view shape of the limiting groove 11 is the same as the main view shape of the limiting rod 10.
[0030] When it is necessary to wind wires of different diameters, the vertically upward rotating adjustment rod 15 is rotated to a horizontal state, and then the rotating adjustment rod 15 is pulled outward to move the sliding block 14 outward. This causes the sliding block 14 to move the locking block 18 out of the locking interface 19 near the bottom inner wall of the movable groove 12. Then, the rotating adjustment rod 15 is moved upward to move the insertion rod 16 at the bottom of the sliding block 14 out of the insertion hole 17. Then, the wire fixing cylinder 6 is pulled out, causing the limiting groove 11 on the wire fixing cylinder 6 to separate from the limiting groove 11 at the bottom of the connecting plate 5. Then, the operator can replace the wire fixing cylinder 6 with a new one. This allows the equipment to wind wires of different diameters, increasing the practicality of the equipment.
[0031] Working principle: First, the infrared sensor 9 at the bottom of the connecting rod 8 measures whether the four slots 7 on the outer contour of the take-up drum 2 are perpendicularly intersecting. When the slots 7 are not perpendicularly intersecting, the motor on the take-up drum 2 can be started to rotate the take-up drum 2 and fine-tune the state of the slots 7 on the take-up drum 2. When the lead screw slots 7 are perpendicularly intersecting, the electric push rod 4 at the bottom of the fixed plate 3 can be started to drive the connecting plate 5 to reciprocate linearly, so that the connecting plate 5 moves towards the take-up drum 2. When the wire in the connecting plate 5 is engaged in the slot 7 on the outer contour of the take-up drum 2 near the connecting plate 5, the motor can then be started to drive the take-up drum 2 to rotate and wind up the wire.
[0032] When it is necessary to wind wires of different diameters, the vertically upward rotating adjustment rod 15 is rotated to a horizontal state, and then the rotating adjustment rod 15 is pulled outward to move the sliding block 14 outward. This causes the sliding block 14 to move the locking block 18 out of the locking interface 19 near the bottom inner wall of the movable groove 12. Then, the rotating adjustment rod 15 is moved upward to move the insertion rod 16 at the bottom of the sliding block 14 out of the insertion hole 17. Then, the wire fixing cylinder 6 is pulled out, causing the limiting groove 11 on the wire fixing cylinder 6 to separate from the limiting groove 11 at the bottom of the connecting plate 5. Then, the operator can replace the wire fixing cylinder 6 with a new one, so that the equipment can wind wires of different diameters.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
