Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding wire processing technology, specifically to a welding wire shaping device, which is particularly suitable for precision processing scenarios such as machinery manufacturing and welding material production. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, welding wire, as a core material for welding operations, is widely used in numerous fields such as machinery manufacturing, automotive industry, shipbuilding, and pressure vessels. Its shaping accuracy directly affects not only the stability of welding quality and weld strength, but also plays a decisive role in the efficiency of subsequent welding processes and the yield rate of finished products. With the continuous improvement of welding quality requirements in high-end manufacturing industries, welding wire products are gradually developing towards smaller diameters, higher strength, and lower spatter, which places more stringent demands on the precision, consistency, and process compatibility of shaping equipment. Traditional shaping equipment often requires cumbersome parameter adjustments and mechanical modifications when processing welding wires of different materials and specifications, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of efficient and refined production.

[0003] Existing wire forming equipment still has significant technical shortcomings in practical applications: First, most equipment uses a fixed design for the forming component structure and process parameters. When production needs change (such as changing the wire diameter or adjusting the forming shape), large-scale modifications to the equipment are required, which not only increases production costs but also seriously affects production changeover efficiency, making it difficult to adapt to multi-variety, small-batch production modes. Second, some equipment neglects the positioning stability of the forming process in its structural design. In long-term continuous operation, problems such as guide misalignment and uneven punching pressure are prone to occur, leading to quality defects such as dimensional deviations and inconsistent shapes in wire forming, and even causing risks such as poor wire feeding and unstable arc during welding. Furthermore, existing technologies do not adequately consider the ease of equipment maintenance. The core shaping components of most equipment are highly integrated and enclosed within a frame, lacking standardized inspection windows and operating spaces. This results in significant time consumption for daily maintenance, troubleshooting, and component replacement, substantially reducing the equipment's effective operating rate. Simultaneously, the assembly process of traditional equipment relies on manual alignment and calibration, which not only makes it difficult to guarantee assembly accuracy but also increases labor and time costs. Based on these technical pain points, developing a new type of welding wire shaping equipment with high adaptability, high stability, and ease of maintenance has become an urgent need for industry development.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a welding wire shaping device, comprising a device support frame, a power drive unit (including a motor and base), a welding wire shaping reference platform, a welding wire inlet wheel, a welding wire guide wheel, and a preliminary shaping stamping assembly, a right-side bending cam connecting rod assembly, and a final folding crank slider assembly arranged sequentially along the welding wire travel direction; the power drive unit is fixed to the device support frame and provides synchronous or orderly driving force for the preliminary shaping stamping assembly, the right-side bending cam connecting rod assembly, and the final folding crank slider assembly; the welding wire inlet wheel carries the welding wire reel and provides initial wire feeding support, and the welding wire guide wheel is located between the welding wire inlet wheel and the welding wire shaping reference platform to calibrate the welding wire direction; the welding wire shaping reference platform serves as a shaping positioning reference and cooperates with each shaping assembly to achieve precise shaping of the welding wire, and all components are assembled on the device support frame. The preliminary shaping stamping assembly is located above the welding wire shaping reference platform and is composed of a cam-driven slider structure, which can perform preliminary stamping on the welding wire to give it a basic shape. The right-side bending cam-connecting rod assembly is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the wire forming reference platform. Through the linkage of the cam and the connecting rod, the initially formed wire is directionally bent. The final folding crank-slider assembly is located below the wire forming reference platform. The crank-slider movement completes the final folding process of the wire, ensuring that the dimensions and shape after forming meet the preset standards. The wire guide wheel and the wire inlet wheel are installed on the equipment support frame. The wire inlet wheel is responsible for the initial introduction of the wire, while the wire guide wheel assists in guiding the wire. Multiple wire guide wheels can be set in the same direction for secondary calibration of the wire direction, ensuring that the wire is delivered horizontally and smoothly to the forming area. Four slide rails are fixed to the equipment support frame for the periodic sliding of the four sliders. The preliminary forming stamping assembly includes a stamping cam, a stamping slider, a stamping block, and slide rails. The stamping cam is driven by a power drive unit; its rotation pushes the stamping slider to slide periodically on the slide rails. The stamping block is set on the stamping slider, and the above linkage performs preliminary stamping on the wire. The right-side bending cam-linkage assembly includes a bending cam, a bending linkage group, a bending slider, a bending pressure block, and a slide rail. The bending cam is driven by a power drive unit, and its rotation causes the bending linkage group to rotate.

Through the above linkage, the welding wire is directionally bent. The final folding crank-slider assembly includes a folding crank, a folding linkage, a folding slider, and a folding pressure block. The folding crank is driven by a power drive unit, and its rotation causes the folding linkage to move. The folding linkage then pushes the folding slider to slide periodically on the slide rail. The folding pressure block is set on the folding slider. Through the above linkage, the welding wire is finally folded. Through the coordinated operation of its components, the equipment can efficiently and accurately complete the shaping operation of the welding wire, meeting the requirements for the shape of the welding wire in different scenarios. It provides reliable material support for subsequent welding processes and has good practicality and application prospects.

[0006] Preferably, the preliminary forming stamping assembly, the right-side bending cam connecting rod assembly, and the final folding crank slider assembly adopt a modular design, allowing for quick replacement of components with different parameters according to the welding wire specifications and forming requirements.

[0007] Preferably, the wire guide wheel and the wire feed wheel are matched and adopt a double wheel group elastic bracket composite structure, which is assembled on the equipment support frame to work together to introduce the wire. The wire guide wheel can be detached to adjust its position to accommodate different specifications of wire, ensuring that the wire is horizontally and stably transported to the shaping area.

[0008] Preferably, the equipment support frame is welded from high-strength steel, which has sufficient structural strength and rigidity to effectively offset vibration and stress during the shaping process. Preferably, the device only needs to control four motors to achieve coordinated operation of all components, and the overall control logic is clear and the operation is simple. Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has significant advantages: In terms of processing quality, the precise positioning of the welding wire forming reference platform, combined with the orderly operation of each forming component, greatly improves the forming accuracy and consistency, ensuring that the welding wire size accuracy and shape meet high standards. In terms of operating efficiency, the power drive unit automates and continuously processes each step, shortening the forming time of a single welding wire. Simultaneously, the stable equipment structure reduces downtime due to malfunctions, significantly improving batch production efficiency. In terms of usability, the modular forming component design facilitates quick replacement and adjustment according to different welding wire specifications, adapting to various production needs and suitable for various related industrial production scenarios, effectively reducing production costs and improving the overall utilization rate of the equipment. Furthermore, by setting replaceable wear-resistant modules on the preliminary forming and stamping components, wear on the components during the stamping process is reduced, which helps ensure long-term forming accuracy, reduces production interruptions caused by component wear, and further improves production economy. The detachable and adjustable welding wire guide wheel adapts to different welding wire specifications, ensuring the smooth feeding of welding wires of different diameters and further enhancing the equipment's adaptability. Meanwhile, the device only needs to control four motors to achieve coordinated operation of all components, and the overall control logic is clear and the operation is simple.

Detailed Implementation To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0012] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Example 1 To achieve efficient and precise welding wire shaping, the welding wire shaping equipment of this utility model demonstrates significant advantages in actual production. Its components and technological highlights are deeply integrated, and specific applications are as follows: After the equipment is started, the equipment support frame (8) provides a stable load for the overall structure, and the four slide rails (81) fixed on it provide precise guidance for the movement of each slider. This high-rigidity structural design is the foundation for ensuring processing quality. Combined with the positioning function of the welding wire shaping reference table (7), it can effectively offset the vibration and stress during the shaping process. When the power drive unit (6) is running, only four motors need to be controlled to achieve the coordinated operation of each component. The overall control logic is clear and the operation is simple, providing stable power output for the automation process. The operator installs the welding wire reel on the welding wire guide wheel (1). The welding wire guide wheel (1) carries the reel and provides initial wire feeding support. The welding wire is drawn out under the action of traction force and then enters the welding wire guide wheel (2). The welding wire guide wheel (2) adopts a detachable design and can be adjusted according to different specifications of welding wire. It is installed on the equipment support frame (8) in conjunction with the welding wire guide wheel (1). By calibrating the welding wire direction twice, the stability of the feeding of welding wires of different diameters is ensured. This design significantly enhances the adaptability of the equipment. When the welding wire reaches the welding wire forming reference table (7), the preliminary forming stamping assembly (3) starts working. This assembly is located above the reference table and consists of a stamping cam (31), a stamping slide block (32), a stamping pressure block (33), and a slide rail (81). The stamping pressure block (33) is equipped with a replaceable wear-resistant module. The power drive unit (6) drives the stamping cam (31) to rotate, pushing the stamping slide block (32) to slide periodically on the slide rail (81), and performs preliminary stamping on the welding wire through the wear-resistant module. This modular design not only facilitates the replacement of components according to the welding wire specifications, but also reduces wear during the stamping process, which is conducive to ensuring long-term forming accuracy, reducing production interruptions caused by component wear, and improving production economy. After initial shaping, the welding wire enters the working range of the right-side bending cam-linkage assembly (4). This assembly is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the reference platform and includes a bending cam (41), a bending linkage group (42), a bending slider (43), a bending pressure block (44), and a slide rail (81). Under power drive, the bending cam (41) drives the slider to move through the linkage group, causing the bending pressure block (44) to directionally bend the welding wire. Since each shaping assembly adopts a modular design, cams and linkages with different parameters can be quickly replaced to adapt to various bending requirements, and diverse production requirements can be met without large-scale equipment modifications. The oriented bent welding wire is then conveyed to the final folding crank-slider assembly (5), located below the reference platform. This assembly consists of a folding crank (51), a folding connecting rod (52), a folding slider (53), and a folding pressure block (54). The power drive unit (6) drives the crank-connecting rod mechanism, and the welding wire is finally folded by the sliding of the slider on the slide rail (81). Throughout the process, the power drive unit automates and continuously processes each step, significantly shortening the shaping time of a single welding wire. At the same time, the stable equipment structure reduces downtime due to malfunctions, significantly improving the efficiency of mass production. Thanks to the precise positioning of the welding wire shaping reference platform (7) and the orderly operation of each component, the equipment has greatly improved the shaping accuracy and consistency, ensuring that the welding wire size accuracy and shape meet high standards. This design, which integrates high efficiency, precision and adaptability, makes the equipment suitable for various related industrial production scenarios, effectively reducing production costs, improving the overall utilization rate, and providing reliable material support for subsequent welding and other processes, demonstrating good practicality and application prospects.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
