[0013] Optionally, it also includes: A force sensor, installed on the side wall of the limiting plate and connected to the controller, is used to detect the clamping force between the wire groove and the limiting plate.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic top view of a trough conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic structural diagram of a trough conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic structure of the trough conveying device, in which the position sensor, micro-motion sensor, and force sensor are mounted on the limit plate. Figure 4 This is a schematic structural diagram of a wire groove cutting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a wire groove conveying device 100 includes a support platform 1, a first sliding component 3, and a pushing component 4. A group of wire grooves to be cut is placed on the support platform 1 along a first horizontal direction. The wire groove group includes multiple wire grooves 2, which are arranged side-by-side or stacked vertically. The first sliding component 3 includes a first driving member 31, a sliding guide rail 32, and a slider 33. The sliding guide rail 32 is arranged along the first horizontal direction on the support platform 1 and side-by-side with the wire grooves 2. The slider 33 is mounted on the sliding guide rail 32. The first driving member 31 is mounted on the support platform 1 and connected to the slider 33, used to drive the slider 33 to move along the sliding guide rail 32. The pushing component 4 is connected to the slider 33 along a second horizontal direction and has a push plate 41. The push plate 41 is parallel to the end faces of the multiple wire grooves 2 and is configured to follow the movement of the slider 33, thereby simultaneously pushing the multiple wire grooves 2 along the first horizontal direction to feed the multiple wire grooves 2. The second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the first sliding component 3 is a ball screw driven linear module, and multiple grooves 2 realize high-precision linear movement and repetitive positioning along the first horizontal direction.

[0026] In this embodiment, multiple wire troughs 2 are arranged side by side or stacked vertically on the support platform 1. The first sliding component 3 and the push plate 41 simultaneously push the multiple wire troughs 2 along the first horizontal direction, which improves the conveying efficiency of the wire troughs 2 compared with single-piece conveying.

[0027] In some embodiments, multiple wire slots 2 are stacked vertically, with N wire slots 2 in total. The height of the push plate is at least higher than the stack height of N-1 wire slots 2, so as to push N wire slots 2 simultaneously. This means that when N wire slots 2 are stacked vertically, the push plate 41 can push N wire slots 2 simultaneously, preventing the push plate 41 from missing pushing the upper wire slots 2, which could cause the upper wire slots 2 to flip or become misaligned, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of the feeding process.

[0028] In some embodiments, multiple grooves 2 are arranged side by side along a second horizontal direction, and the number of grooves 2 is M. The length of the push plate 41 along the second horizontal direction is at least greater than the total width of M-1 grooves 2 in the second horizontal direction, so as to push M grooves 2 simultaneously. It can be understood that when M grooves 2 are arranged side by side along the second horizontal direction, the push plate 41 can push M grooves 2 simultaneously, thereby avoiding the push plate 41 from missing any grooves 2, causing the outer grooves 2 to tilt or become misaligned, and ensuring the stability and consistency of feeding.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pushing component 4 also includes a connecting plate 42, which includes a first part 421 and a second part 422 arranged in a first horizontal direction. The two sides of the first part 421 are connected to the slider 33 and the push plate 41, respectively, and the second part 422 is used to limit the movement of the wire groove 2. It can be understood that the second part 422 of the connecting plate 42 is integrally set with the first part 421. The first part 421 acts as a rigid force transmission component to ensure that the push plate 41 moves with the slider 33 in the first horizontal direction. In addition, when N wire grooves 2 are stacked vertically, the height of the second part 422 is at least higher than the stacking height of N-1 wire grooves 2, so that the second part 422 provides lateral limitation for the N wire grooves 2 in its working section, reducing the local lateral displacement of the N wire grooves 2 during the pushing process.

[0030] In some embodiments, the pusher plate 41 is L-shaped and includes a vertically arranged third portion 411 and a fourth portion 412. The pusher assembly 4 further includes a reinforcing plate 43, which is connected to the third portion 411 and the fourth portion 412 respectively. In this embodiment, the third portion 411 is parallel to the end face of the groove 2 and is used to push the groove 2 in a first horizontal direction. The fourth portion 412 is integrally fixed to the third portion 411 at a right angle. The pusher assembly 4 also has a reinforcing plate 43, which spans the inner angle of the third portion 411 and the fourth portion 412 and is fixedly connected to them to improve the structural rigidity and surface stability of the corner area of ​​the third portion 411 and the fourth portion 412, and to prevent the third portion 411 and the fourth portion 412 from deforming under stress.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the wire trough conveying device 100 also includes a clamping assembly 5, which includes a limiting plate 52 and a second driving member 51. The limiting plate 52 is arranged along a first horizontal direction and is located on the side of the wire trough 2 opposite to the sliding guide rail 32. The second driving member 51 is mounted on the support platform 1 and applies a driving force in a second horizontal direction to the wire trough 2 in a controlled manner, causing the wire trough 2 to press against the limiting plate 52. This can be understood as the second driving member 51 applying a driving force in a second horizontal direction to the wire trough 2 in a controlled manner, causing the wire trough 2 to press against the limiting plate 52. Furthermore, the height of the limiting plate 52 is at least higher than the stacked height of N-1 wire troughs 2, so that the clamping assembly 5 can achieve adaptive clamping of N wire troughs, thereby facilitating subsequent stable processing of the wire trough 2 by the operator.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the wire trough conveying device 100 also includes a position sensor 6 and a controller 12. The position sensor 6 is installed on the top of the limiting plate 52 and is used to detect the height and width of the wire trough 2. The controller 12 is connected to the position sensor 6 and is used to determine a preset driving force based on the height and width of the wire trough 2. The second driving component 51 is installed on the support platform 1 and connected to the controller 12, and is used to apply the preset driving force to the wire trough 2 under the control of the controller 12. It can be understood that the controller 12 determines the preset driving force based on the height and width of the wire trough 2, and the second driving component 51 applies the preset driving force to the wire trough 2 under the control of the controller 12, so that the wire trough 2 is stably pressed against the limiting plate 52, avoiding insufficient clamping or overpressure of the clamping assembly 5, which could cause deformation of the wire trough.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the trough conveying device 100 also includes a micro-motion sensor 7, which is installed on the side wall of the limiting plate 52 and connected to the controller 12. The micro-motion sensor 7 is used to detect whether the trough 2 is abutting against the limiting plate 52. The controller 12 is configured to control the second driving member 51 to stop applying a preset driving force when the trough 2 abuts against the limiting plate 52. It can be understood that when the micro-motion sensor 7 is not in contact with the trough 2, the controller 12 controls the second driving member 12 to continue applying the preset driving force to the trough 2 based on the signal that the trough 2 is not abutting against the limiting plate 52; when the micro-motion sensor 7 abuts against the trough 2, the controller 12 controls the second driving member 51 to stop applying the preset driving force to the trough 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the trough conveying device 100 also includes a force sensor 8, which is installed on the side wall of the limiting plate 52 and connected to the controller 12. The force sensor 8 is used to detect the clamping force between the trough 2 and the limiting plate 52. The controller 12 is configured to adjust the preset driving force of the second driving member 51 according to the clamping force. It can be understood that when the force sensor 8 contacts the trough 2, the force sensor 8 measures the clamping force between the trough 2 and the limiting plate 52 in real time. The controller 12 adjusts the preset driving force applied to the trough 2 by the second driving member 51 according to the clamping force, so that the trough 2 stably abuts against the limiting plate 52.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a wire trough cutting device 200, which includes the wire trough conveying device 100 of any of the above embodiments. After the wire troughs 2 are conveyed to a preset cutting position along a first horizontal direction and clamped and fixed by the wire trough conveying device 100, they enter the cutting process of the wire trough cutting device 200.

[0036] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the wire groove cutting device 200 further includes a cutting assembly 9, which includes a cutter 91, a third driving member 92, and a second sliding assembly 93. The second sliding assembly 93 is vertically disposed at the other end of the support platform 1 and away from the clamping assembly 5. The third driving member 92 is slidably connected to the second sliding assembly 93 and can move vertically. The cutter 91 is configured to rotate under the drive of the third driving member 92, and the working end of the cutter 91 corresponds to the pre-cut wire groove 2. The support platform 1 has a through hole 10, and the cutter 91 is vertically aligned with the through hole 10. The cutter 91 rotates and moves downwards, thereby cutting the pre-cut wire groove 2.

[0037] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the wire groove cutting device 200 further includes a protective cover 11 and a cooling component. The protective cover 11 is fixedly installed on the support platform 1 and covers the outer periphery of the cutter 91. The cooling component is disposed inside the protective cover 11. The wire groove 2 enters the protective cover 11 under the drive of the first sliding component 3. While the cutter 91 is cutting the wire groove 2, the cooling component cools and lowers the temperature of the cutter 91 to ensure the stability of the cutter 91 in cutting the wire groove 2 and extend the service life of the cutter 91. The protective cover 11 isolates the debris generated during the cutting of the wire groove 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the controller 12 is connected to the first drive member 31, the second drive member 51, the third drive member 92, the second sliding component 93, the position sensor 6, the micro-motion sensor 7, and the force sensor 8, respectively, and is used to drive the first drive member 31, the second drive member 51, the third drive member 92, and the second sliding component 93 to move.

[0039] First, the operator uses the controller 12 to set parameters, including the conveying stroke and quantity of the wire trough conveying device 100, and the operating mode of the wire trough cutting equipment 200. Second, the controller 12 controls the first driving component 31 to drive the slider 33 to move, thereby accurately conveying multiple wire troughs 2 along the first horizontal direction to the preset cutting position through the baffle 41. Next, the position sensor 6 feeds back the measured height and width of the multiple grooves 2 to the controller 12. The controller 12 determines the preset driving force based on this. The second drive member 51 then applies the preset driving force to the multiple grooves 2 in a controlled manner, so that the multiple grooves 2 and the limiting plate 52 form a lateral pre-tightening. The micro-motion sensor 7 feeds back the information on whether the multiple grooves 2 are against the limiting plate 52 to the controller 12. When the multiple grooves 2 are against the limiting plate 52, the controller 12 controls the second drive member 51 to stop applying the preset driving force. The force sensor 8 feeds back the clamping force detected between the multiple grooves 2 and the limiting plate 52 to the controller 12. The controller then adjusts the preset driving force of the second drive member 51 according to the clamping force, so that the multiple grooves 2 are stably against the limiting plate 52. Finally, after the multiple grooves 2 are conveyed to the preset cutting position and fixed by the clamping component 5, under the control of the controller 12, the third driving component 92 drives the cutter 91 to move vertically downward under the drive of the second sliding component 93. At the same time, the third driving component 92 drives the cutter 91 to rotate in a controlled manner, so that the cutter 91 completes the cutting of the multiple grooves 2 located at the preset cutting position during the rotation and downward movement, ensuring that the cutting error is controlled within 0.1mm.
