Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a wire manufacturing machine including a winding machine that winds a wire such as an electric wire manufactured by applying an insulating coating to a conductor onto a spool via a traverser. The present invention relates to a method of removing waste wire from the beginning and end of the winding.

(Prior Art) A wire such as an electric wire manufactured by applying an insulating coating to a conductor is immediately wound onto a spool on a winding machine. In this case, the fully wound spool is replaced with an empty spool to ensure continuous winding, but the starting end of the wire wound onto the empty spool is often defective. Therefore, the beginning end of the roll is treated with scrap wire. In the conventional technology, this ll-
I-line processing had the drawback of low work efficiency, as the wire that was to be turned into scrap wire was first wound onto a bobbin using an auxiliary winder, and then the worker unraveled the scrap wire wound around the bobbin and processed it. .

(Object of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to manufacture a wire rod in which the slit wire rod, which becomes scrap wire sent from the VJ material manufacturing process, can be directly processed during spool replacement without winding it onto a bobbin. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for disposing of waste wire in a machine.

(Structure of the invention) A scrap wire disposal method for a wire rod manufacturing machine according to the present invention is as follows.

This is a method for disposing of waste wire from the winding start end of a wire rod manufacturing machine including a winding machine that winds the wire onto a spool via a traverser.
The wire is moved over the spool collar to the outside, and the wire catcher grasps the starting end of the wire wound on the spool, and at the same time it is cut from the wire on the spool side, and the wire catcher is lowered to remove the wire. The terminal is released, and then the wire chuck grips the wire under the traverser and moves to the scrap wire processing machine.The scrap wire processing machine cuts the wire into scrap wire, and after the cutting is finished, the wire catcher moves back to the scrap wire processing machine. While gripping the continuous wire, it descends through the wire gripping plates provided on the outside of the empty spool, releases the wire at this lowering position, returns to its original position, closes the wire gripping plate, and then moves to the traverser. It is characterized by starting winding when the empty spool is near the end of the spool.

According to this method, the wire sent from the wire manufacturing process is automatically processed into scrap wire during winding, so there is no need to wind it onto a bobbin, and the wire can be processed with high work efficiency. .

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 schematically shows a method for disposing of scrap wire in a wire rod manufacturing machine according to the present invention. Coming wire 1

The guide roller means 14 is suspended from the frame of this traverser body 44. The first transmission mechanism 49 normally drives the traverser body 44 to reciprocate between the flange of the spool 18, but when the fast-forward motor 48 receives a full traverse,
The traverser body 22 is rapidly forwarded so as to pass over one of the flanges 18c of the spool 18.

A wire catcher 54 is provided to grasp the end of the wire lO fully wound on the spool 18, and the wire catcher 54 is attached to the nine wire rods 24 via a bracket 56 as shown in FIG. It consists of a pivotally supported swinging rod 58 and a catcher main body 62 supported by the swinging rod 58 via a rodless ribbon cylinder 60 so as to be able to move up and down. The swinging rod 58 is connected to a cylinder 64 attached to the machine base 24 and can swing between a vertical position shown in solid lines in FIG. 5 and an inclined position shown in phantom lines. Therefore, the catcher main body 62 is located at the upper position of the swinging rod 58 by the rodless ribbon cylinder 60, and the swinging rod 58
8 is vertical, this catcher body 62 is between the traverser 12 and the guide roller means 14;
At this position, the catcher main body 62 grips the wire lO. From this position, the swinging rod 58 is moved to the fifth position by the cylinder 64.
When tilted as shown by the imaginary line in the figure (solid line in Figure 1),
The catcher main body 62 holding the wire 10 escapes from between the traverser 12 and the idle roller means 14.
Next, when the catcher main body 62 is lowered by the rodless ribbon cylinder 60, the catcher main body 62
The wire lO held by is pulled, and when the swinging rod 58 is returned to the vertical state from this state, the catcher body 6
2 is a pair of crimping plates 52, 52 while holding the wire lO.
The wire rod 10 held by the catcher main body 62 passes between the pair of crimp plates 52 and 52'. The catcher main body 62 is shown in FIG. 6(A).
As shown in (B), it consists of a fixed jaw 64, a movable 1A 64', and a cutter 66.
is attached to the cylinder 70 at a position slightly retracted from the movable jaw 64'.

Therefore, with the cylinder 70 retracted, the catcher main body 62 is advanced so that the wire lO is inserted between the jaws 64.64'', and when the cylinder 70 is advanced, the movable jaw 64° is first moved between the fixed jaw 64. When the wire rod is clamped and the cylinder 70 moves further forward, it relatively retreats against the movable jaw 64' and the spring 68, and the cutter 66 moves forward, so that the wire rod 10 is cut from the fully wound spool 18 side and simultaneously follows it. Grip the wire portion (the starting end of the next spool 18).

A chuck means 74 is provided in order to transfer the wire lO gripped and drawn out by the wire catcher 54 to a scrap wire processing machine 72 to be placed later. This chuck means 74 consists of a pair of guide rods 7 provided parallel to the axis of the spool 18 on the winder 16, as shown in FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B).
It consists of a support arm 78 slidably attached to 6.76' and a chuck body 80 attached to the tip of this support arm 78. The guide rods 76, 76' are attached to the machine base 24 via a bracket 82, and the chuck body 80 is reciprocated by a rodless ribbon cylinder 84 supported by the bracket 82 in parallel to the guide rods 76, 76'. is now possible. As shown in FIG. 8, the chuck body 80 consists of a frame 82 having a groove 82a at its tip into which the wire rod 10 to be gripped is inserted, and a chuck member 86 that swings on the frame 82 via a plurality of links 84. The rear end of this chuck member 86 is connected to a cylinder 90 via a link 88. Therefore, when the cylinder 90 is expanded, the chuck member 86 moves forward via the link 88 so as to close the groove 82a (see the imaginary line in FIG. 8), and grips the wire in the groove 82a. However, when the cylinder 90 is contracted, 1, the chuck member 86 retreats from the groove 82a, and the wire rod 1
Release 0. The support arm 78 advances from the position shown by the solid line in FIG.
This wire rod 10 is moved to a waste wire processing machine 72.

The waste wire processing machine 72 is shown in detail in FIGS. 92 is a fixed feeding roller 96 that is attached to the machine base 24 and driven.
and a movable holding roller 96° which is moved forward and backward relative to the fixed feed roller 96 by a cylinder 98, and the cutter means 94 includes a rotary cutter wheel 99 which is attached to the machine base 24 and driven, and a rotating cutter wheel 99 which is attached to the cylinder 100 and rotates. It consists of a restraining roller 102 that moves forward and backward relative to the cutter wheel 99. Therefore.

With the holding rollers 96' and 102 open, the wire lO to be processed as waste wire is conveyed into the waste wire processing machine 72 by the chuck means 74.

Open the chuck means 74 to release the wire lO.

When the fixed feed roller 96 and the rotary cutter wheel 99 are rotated, the wire lO is transported by the feed roller means 92 and cut into pieces by the rotary cutter wheel 99 to be processed into scrap wire. Fixed feed roller 96 and rotating cutter wheel 9
9 is driven by a transmission mechanism 10B that is branched from a motor 30, which is a drive source of the winder 16, and includes a clutch 104. Next, the method of the present invention will be explained step by step with reference to FIG. 1. First, when the spool 18 on the winder 16 is fully wound and a full wind signal is issued, ! ! The traverser 12 and the guide roller means 14 are fast-forwarded by the fast-forwarding motor 30 and moved beyond the collar 18b of the spool 18 to the dotted line position in FIG. 1, where they stop.

Is there traversal at this position? and guide roller means 14
are aligned between a pair of crimp plates 52, 52'. Thereafter, the catcher body 62 of the wire catcher 54 moves between the traverser 12 and the idle roller means 14 due to the contraction of the cylinder 64, grips the wire portion between the traverser 12 and the guide roller means 14, and at the same time fills the wire rod. Cut it to separate it from the wire on the spool side. Due to the extension of the cylinder 64, the wire catcher 54 escapes from between the traverser 12 and the guide roller means 14 together with the subsequent wire portion gripped by the wire catcher 54. Thereafter, the fully wound spool 18 is removed from the winder 16 by the spindle 26.26' by the cylinder 27.27°, and is transferred to the right side of the conveyor table 20. Therefore, a gap is generated between the pair of crimp plates 52, 52'. On the other hand, the empty spool 18 is transferred from the left side of the carriage 20 into the take-up a 16 and is supported on these spindles 26, 26' by the advancement of the spindles 26, 26'.

During this time, the catcher body 62 of the wire catcher 54
is lowered by the rodless ribbon cylinder 60, and then the swinging rod 58 becomes vertical due to contraction of the cylinder 64, and the wire rod portion gripped by the catcher body 62 is moved into the vertical position by the rodless ribbon cylinder 60.
The catcher body 62 releases the wire at this position so that it passes between the pair of crimp plates 52, 52''. Thereafter, the chuck body 80 of the chuck means 74 moves the rodless ribbon The first cylinder 84
Move to the dotted line position in the figure and grip the lower wire portion of the guide roller means 14. In this state, the chuck means 74 is returned by the rodless ribbon cylinder 84 to the original position shown by the solid line in FIG. The catcher body 62 of the wire catcher 54 is disengaged from between the pair of crimp plates 52, 52' by the movement of the swinging rod 58 to the inclined position, and is also raised by its rodless ribbon cylinder 60. On the other hand 1
The wire rod portion IOA transferred from the wa material catcher 54 to the chuck means 74 and inserted into the scrap wire processing @ 72 is moved by the holding roller 9 which is lowered by the expansion of the cylinders 98 and 100.
6', it is sandwiched between the feeding roller means 92 and the cutter means 94 by the holding roller 102. Therefore, clutch 104
The fixed feed roller 96 and the rotary cutter wheel 99 are rotated, and the wire portion 10A is sequentially cut into scrap wire by the rotary cutter wheel 99. The wire catcher 54 again moves between the traverser 12 and the guide roller means 14, grips the wire to be used as the subsequent scrap wire, and retreats from between them. In this way, all the wire rods in the scrap wire processing machine 72 are processed into scrap wire by the cutter means 94 for the wire rod portion cut by the wire catcher 54 on the side of the chuck means 74. Thereafter, the holding roller 96 and the rotary cutter wheel 99 are stopped by the release of the clutch 104, the cylinders 98 and ioo are contracted, and the holding roller 96' and the holding roller 102 are raised and returned to their original positions.
The wire catcher 54 descends again along the swinging rod 58 and moves below the pair of crimp plates 52, 52' so as to pass the wire between them, releasing the wire. and then returned to its original raised position. Finally, the pair of crimping plates 52° 52° are closed by moving the crimping plates 52 to the right to sandwich the wire, after which the traverser 12 and the guide roller means 14 are moved by the rapid feed motor 48 to the winding drum of the empty spool 18. At the same time as the clutch 47 is returned
is engaged, the clutch of the transmission mechanism 33 is also engaged, the spool 18 is rotated, and the wire rod begins to be wound. Therefore, the subsequent wire rod is wound onto this empty spool 18.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, as described above, the wire sent from the wire manufacturing process is automatically processed into scrap wire during winding, so there is no need to wind it around a bobbin. It has the practical benefit of being able to process wire rods with high workability.
