Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stainless steel watch case production technology, specifically a high-efficiency automatic feeding device for wire cutting of stainless steel watch case blanks. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of stainless steel watch cases, wire EDM is a crucial step in shaping the precision form of the watch blank. Traditional methods involve manual loading, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and risky. Furthermore, the manual placement of the watch blank makes it difficult to ensure consistent positioning, resulting in inconsistent cutting accuracy.
[0003] While some automated feeding equipment has emerged in current technology, existing devices still suffer from significant errors in the placement of watch blanks, affecting surface accuracy and making it difficult to meet the demands of small-batch, multi-variety production of stainless steel watch cases, as well as high-precision, high-efficiency processing. Furthermore, metal shavings, dust, and other impurities may adhere to the watch blank surface during transportation. These impurities, attached to the surface of the watch blank, can affect the normal operation of the attitude calibration mechanism, leading to low processing efficiency.
[0004] To address these issues, this invention provides an efficient automatic feeding device for wire cutting of stainless steel watch case blanks. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an efficient automatic feeding device for wire cutting of stainless steel watch case blanks, thus solving the aforementioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an efficient automatic feeding device for wire cutting of stainless steel watch case blanks, comprising a feeding assembly, the feeding assembly comprising a support leg, a reinforcing frame fixedly connected to the side surface of the support leg, an inclined plate fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the reinforcing frame, a circular hole opened on the side surface of the inclined plate, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular hole, and a rotating column fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, there are four inclined plates, with two on each side forming a group, and the positions of each group of inclined plates are corresponding.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a conveying channel is formed by the corresponding arrangement of inclined plates on both sides and rotating columns. This allows the blank to rotate on the conveyor belt with the assistance of the rotating columns, thus correcting the blank's position on the conveyor belt to the center position. This avoids large errors in the blank's position, which could lead to low processing accuracy. This effectively improves both feeding and processing efficiency.
[0009] Furthermore, a stabilizing frame is fixedly connected to one end of the left side surface of the reinforcing frame, a reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to one end of the right side surface of the reinforcing frame, the other end of the stabilizing frame is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the support leg, and a conveyor belt body mounting frame is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the support leg.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the support structure formed by the stabilizing frame and the reinforcing rod greatly improves the deformation resistance of the device, which can withstand the gravity and running impact when the conveyor belt is fully loaded with blanks; the fixed connection between the conveyor belt body mounting frame and the support legs ensures the accuracy of the conveyor belt installation position and avoids the blank conveying deviation caused by frame shaking, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the feeding process.
[0011] Furthermore, a feeding bin is fixedly connected to the top of the stabilizing frame, and a discharge port is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the feeding bin. The lower surface of the feeding bin is movably connected to the upper surface of the conveyor belt body.
[0012] Using the above technical solution, the feeding bin is fixed to the top of the device by a stabilizing frame, and its bottom discharge port is aligned with the upper surface of the conveyor belt to form an automatic feeding channel. The feeding bin can store a large number of preforms at once, reducing the frequency of manual replenishment; the precise alignment of the discharge port with the conveyor belt allows the preforms to slide smoothly and orderly onto the conveyor belt, avoiding accumulation or jamming problems caused by positional deviations, effectively improving the degree of automation and production efficiency, and reducing the cost of manual intervention.
[0013] Furthermore, a debris removal component is provided above the support leg. The debris removal component includes a mounting bracket, and the side surface of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the other end of the reinforcing rod.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing rod rigidly connects the cleaning component to the main body of the device, ensuring the stability of the component during the cleaning process and avoiding a decrease in cleaning effect due to vibration.
[0015] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower top surface of the mounting bracket, and a blower is fixedly connected to the side surface of the mounting plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the die blank is quickly swept by directional strong wind, which can efficiently remove light impurities such as metal shavings and dust. This avoids the impurities affecting the die blank posture calibration and wire EDM machining accuracy. Combined with the continuous conveyor belt transport, this significantly improves the adaptability of the device to complex production environments and the quality of processing.

This avoids large errors in the placement of the watch blank, which would affect the low processing accuracy. It achieves the beneficial effect of effectively improving the feeding efficiency and processing efficiency.
[0020] 2. This high-efficiency stainless steel watch case blank wire cutting automatic feeding device uses directional strong air to quickly sweep the surface of the watch blank, which can efficiently remove light impurities such as metal chips and dust, and avoid impurities affecting the watch blank posture calibration and wire cutting processing accuracy.

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an efficient automatic feeding device for wire cutting of stainless steel watch case blanks, including a feeding assembly 1. The feeding assembly 1 includes a support leg 101, a reinforcing frame 102 fixedly connected to the side surface of the support leg 101, and an inclined plate 103 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the reinforcing frame 102. A circular hole 104 is formed on the side surface of the inclined plate 103, and a rotating shaft 105 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular hole 104. A rotating column 106 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft 105. There are four inclined plates 103, with two on each side forming a group, and the positions of each group of inclined plates 103 are corresponding.
[0030] In this embodiment, inclined plates 103 are symmetrically arranged inside the reinforcing frame 102. An inclined conveying channel is formed between each group of two inclined plates 103, which converges towards the center. The conveyor belt body 110 conveys the stainless steel blank itself between the two inclined plates 103. The rotating shaft 105 and rotating column 106 rotatably connected inside the circular hole 104 provide rolling friction during the downward movement of the blank. The free rotation of the rotating shaft 105 assists the blank to move smoothly, reducing the risk of jamming caused by sliding friction.
[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a stabilizing frame 107 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the reinforcing frame 102, a reinforcing rod 111 is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the reinforcing frame 102, the other end of the stabilizing frame 107 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the support leg 101, and a conveyor belt body 110 mounting frame is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the support leg 101.
[0032] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt body 110 is mounted on the inner side of the support leg 101. The overall structural rigidity is effectively enhanced by the stabilizer 107 and the reinforcing rod 111, ensuring that the conveyor belt body 110 remains stable during the operation of the bearing blank.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a feeding bin 108 is fixedly connected to the top of the stabilizer 107, and a discharge port 109 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the feeding bin 108. The lower surface of the feeding bin 108 is movably connected to the upper surface of the conveyor belt body 110.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the device is running, the watch blank slides from the discharge port 109 to the conveyor belt body 110 under the action of gravity. The transmission function of the conveyor belt body 110 is used to realize the continuous conveying of the watch blank. The storage function of the loading bin 108 reduces the frequency of manual material replenishment, while ensuring that the watch blank can enter the subsequent processing flow smoothly and orderly.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a cleaning component 2 is provided above the support leg 101. The cleaning component 2 includes a mounting bracket 201, and the side surface of the mounting bracket 201 is fixedly connected to the other end of the reinforcing rod 111.
[0036] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rod 111 securely fixes the mounting bracket 201 to the main structure of the device, ensuring that the impurity removal component 2 remains in a stable position during operation.
[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a mounting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the lower top surface of the mounting bracket 201, and a blower 203 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the mounting plate 202.
[0038] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0039] Working principle: First, the stainless steel billet stored in the feeding hopper 108 slides down from the discharge port 109 to the conveyor belt body 110 under the action of gravity. During the feeding process, the billet is corrected to the center of the upper surface of the conveyor belt body 110 by the cooperation of the inclined plate 103 and the rotating column 106, so as to realize automatic feeding and reduce the risk of jamming. When the billet moves with the conveyor belt body 110 to the support leg 101, the blower 203 on the mounting frame 201 generates a strong directional wind to blow the surface of the billet and remove metal debris, dust and other impurities. After the impurity removal treatment, the billet continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt body 110 to the wire cutting machine feed port to complete the automatic feeding process.
