Referring to fig. 8-9, in some embodiments of the present application, the traction assembly 3 includes a drive wheel 31, a driven wheel 32, and a compression member 33, each of the drive wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32 being rotatably disposed on the chassis 1, and the driven wheel 32 being slidably disposed on the chassis 1; the pressing member 33 is disposed on the chassis 1 and is used for forcing the driven wheel 32 to slide in the direction of the driving wheel 31, so that a clamping area for clamping the steel wire 100 is formed between the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32. When the control drive wheel 31 rotates clockwise, as shown in fig. 9, the driven wheel 32 rotates counterclockwise under friction, and the clamping area forces the wire 100 to move rightward. In addition, the driven wheel 32 can be forced to the direction of the driving wheel 31 by the pressing piece 33, and the steel wire 100 can be conveniently penetrated into the clamping area by loosening the pressing piece 33; the clamping area can fully clamp the steel wire 100 by fastening the pressing piece 33 so as to avoid the phenomenon that the steel wire 100 slips in the clamping area; the hold-down 33 can also be adjusted by tightening or loosening to accommodate the traction requirements of different diameter wires 100. It should be noted that, the rotatable mounting manner of the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32 and the sliding mounting manner of the driven wheel 32 are both the prior art, for example, the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32 are respectively rotatably mounted on two fixing blocks 34 through a shaft, the two fixing blocks 34 are slidably mounted on the chassis 1 along the up-down direction, the pressing piece 33 presses the fixing blocks 34 above, and the driving wheel 31 is driven to rotate through a motor and a transmission mechanism, so that the rotatable mounting of the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32 and the slidable mounting of the driven wheel 32 can be realized.

Referring to fig. 9, the specific structure of the pressing member 33 is not limited, and only one structure is provided below for reference: the pressing member 33 includes a thumb wheel 331, a screw 332, and a pressing spring 333; the screw 332 is screwed on the chassis 1, the upper end of the screw 332 is fixed on the thumb wheel 331, and the lower end of the screw 332 is connected with the fixed block 34 above through the compression spring 333. When the thumb wheel 331 is rotated, the screw 332 is driven to move up and down, and the fixed block 34 connected to the driven wheel 32 is driven to move up and down, so as to adjust the interval between the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32. In addition, the driven wheel 32 is allowed to move in a direction deviating from the driving wheel 31 under the action of the pressing spring 333, so as to avoid the failure of the wire 100 due to the excessive tightening of the pressing member 33.

Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments of the present application straightening assembly 4 is located on the left side of table 50, at least one traction assembly 3 being provided on the left side of straightening assembly 4 and between straightening assembly 4 and table 50; by controlling the drawing speed of the drawing assembly 3 to the steel wire 100, the steel wire 100 can be tensioned at the left and right ends of the straightening assembly 4, and the steel wire 100 can be forced to straighten to a certain extent, so that the straightening effect and the straightening efficiency are improved.

Referring to fig. 10-12, in some embodiments of the present application straightening assembly 4 comprises a sleeve 41, a straightening block 42 and a wear strip 43; the sleeve 41 is rotatably arranged on the case 1, a first mounting hole 411 is radially formed in the sleeve 41 in a penetrating manner, and the steel wire 100 coaxially penetrates through the sleeve 41; the wear-resistant belt 43 is bent into a U-shaped structure, the wear-resistant belt 43 is sleeved on the steel wire 100, and two ends of the wear-resistant belt 43 are clamped in the first mounting holes 411; straightening block 42 is disposed in first mounting hole 411, and straightening block 42 is used to force wear strip 43 into contact with steel wire 100. During straightening, the steel wire 100 in the sleeve 41 is straightened through the traction assemblies 3 on the left side and the right side of the sleeve 41, and the steel wire 100 is pulled to move to the right in the sleeve 41; at this time, the control sleeve 41 is rotated at a high speed, and the abrasion resistant belt 43 is spirally moved at a high speed along the outer circumferential surface of the steel wire 100, so that the steel wire 100 can be sufficiently straightened. As shown in fig. 12, this manner of securing the wear strip 43 is relatively simple and facilitates heat dissipation. In addition, the wear-resistant belt 43 can prevent the straightening block 42 from directly contacting the steel wire 100 on one hand, so as to avoid damaging the steel wire 100; on the other hand, the abrasion resistant belt 43 can effectively polish the outer surface of the steel wire 100, so that rust on the surface of the steel wire 100 can be effectively removed. It should be noted that, the material of the wear-resistant belt 43 is not limited in the present application, and nylon is preferably used as the material of the wear-resistant belt 43, and the service life of the wear-resistant belt 43 can be effectively improved due to the advantages of excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, good corrosion resistance and the like. In addition, the rotatable mounting manner of the sleeve 41 is a prior art, and will not be described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 12, in some embodiments of the present application, straightening block 42 is threadedly coupled within first mounting hole 411, both to effect installation and removal of wear strip 43 by rotating straightening block 42; after the wear-resistant belt 43 is worn, the straightening block 42 is rotated to enable the wear-resistant belt 43 to be fully contacted with the steel wire 100, so that the service life of the wear-resistant belt 43 is prolonged; straightening block 42 may also be adjusted by rotation to accommodate the straightening requirements of different diameter steel wires 100. In addition, the sleeve 41 is radially provided with heat radiation holes 412, so that the heat radiation efficiency of the inside of the sleeve 41 is improved.

Referring to fig. 13 to 17, the cutting assembly 5 includes a table 50, a cutter 51, a protective tube 52, a pallet 53, a first elastic member 54, and a stopper 55; the workbench 50 is arranged on the chassis 1 in a left-right sliding manner, a channel 501 is arranged on the workbench 50 in a left-right penetrating manner, a second mounting hole 502 communicated with the channel 501 is arranged at the upper end of the workbench 50, and the cutter 51 is arranged in the second mounting hole 502 in a vertically movable manner; the protection pipeline 52 is positioned on the right side of the case 1, the left end of the protection pipeline 52 is fixed on the workbench 50, the protection pipeline 52 is communicated with the channel 501, and the bottom of the protection pipeline 52 is of an open structure; the supporting plate 53 is rotatably arranged on the protection pipeline 52, and in the initial state, the supporting plate 53 rotates to a horizontal state, so that the bottom of the protection pipeline 52 is blocked by the supporting plate 53; the stopper 55 is slidably disposed inside the protection pipe 52; the first elastic member 54 is disposed between the table 50 and the chassis 1. When the cutting work is performed, the steel wire 100 is pulled to the right through the traction component 3, so that the steel wire 100 enters the protective pipeline 52 through the channel 501 until the right end of the steel wire 100 contacts the stop block 55, at this time, the right end of the steel wire 100 continuously pushes the stop block 55 to move to the right so as to drive the protective pipeline 52 and the workbench 50 to slide to the right (other parts connected with the protective pipeline 52 and the workbench 50 slide to the right synchronously) until the workbench 50 slides to the right dead center; the cutter 51 is controlled to reciprocate up and down once (i.e. the cutter 51 moves downwards and then upwards), so that the steel wire 100 between the stop block 55 and the cutter 51 can be cut off; the cut wire 100 automatically falls onto the pallet 53 by gravity. Meanwhile, the pushing force of the steel wire 100 to the stop block 55 disappears, and the workbench 50 automatically slides to the left dead center under the action of the first elastic piece 54, so that the reset is automatically completed; in the process, the workbench 50 moves leftwards relative to the cut steel wire 100 so as to avoid the cut steel wire 100 remaining in the channel 501, so that the cut steel wire 100 can completely fall onto the supporting plate 53; the pallet 53 is controlled to rotate to an inclined state so that the wire 100 on the pallet 53 automatically slides down to collect the cut wire 100 under the pallet 53. During the cutting operation, the protection pipe 52 and the supporting plate 53 can effectively wrap the steel wire 100, so as to avoid the damage of the steel wire 100 to nearby equipment and workers, and the safety is higher. In addition, by adjusting the position of the stopper 55 in the protective pipe 52 by sliding left and right, the length of the cut wire 100 can be changed by changing the horizontal interval between the cutter 51 and the stopper 55, so that transverse ribs of different lengths can be manufactured. Note that, in the prior art, for example, a slider 505 is provided at the lower end of the table 50 (as shown in fig. 14), and a rail 11 is provided on the chassis 1 (as shown in fig. 8), and the slidable mounting of the table 50 is achieved by the sliding fit between the slider 505 and the rail 11 (as shown in fig. 6). The slidable mounting manner of the stop block 55 is the prior art, for example, as shown in fig. 17, a bar-shaped hole 521 is formed on the protection pipe 52, and a bolt is threaded through the bar-shaped hole 521 and then connected with the stop block 55; when the bolt is unscrewed, the position of the stop block 55 can be slidingly adjusted along the strip-shaped hole 521; when the bolt is tightened, the stop block 55 may be locked to limit movement of the stop block 55 within the protective conduit 52. In addition, the first elastic member 54 is preferably a tension spring, one end of which is fixed to the chassis 1 (as shown in fig. 5), and the other end of which is fixed to the protection pipe 52 (i.e., equivalently fixed to the table 50) (as shown in fig. 15); when the wire 100 pushes the stopper 55 to move rightward, the tension spring is extended; when the pushing force of the steel wire 100 to the stop block 55 disappears, the tension spring forces the workbench 50 to automatically complete the reset leftwards; of course, the first elastic member 54 may also be an elastic cord or other similar structure.

13-17, in some embodiments of the present application, the cutting assembly 5 further includes a driver 56 and a linkage 57. A driving member 56 is provided on the table 50 and serves to drive the cutter 51 to reciprocate up and down. The linkage 57 includes a pressing lever 571, a pressing plate 572, a fixing shaft 573, a connecting rod 574, and a second elastic member 575; as shown in fig. 17, the fixed shaft 573 is rotatably disposed on the protection pipe 52 (the rotatable manner of the fixed shaft 573 is the prior art and is not described in detail herein), and the fixed shaft 573 is connected to the supporting plate 53 through the connecting rod 574; the second elastic member 575 is disposed on the protection pipe 52 and is used to force the supporting plate 53 to rotate to a horizontal state. Referring to fig. 14 to 15, the pressing plate 572 is disposed on the fixing shaft 573 in a radial direction of the fixing shaft 573; the upper end of the pressing lever 571 is connected to the driving member 56, and the lower end of the pressing lever 571 is in contact with the pressing plate 572. As shown in fig. 19, when the driving member 56 drives the cutter 51 to move upward, the pressing force of the pressing bar 571 against the pressing plate 572 is removed, and the second elastic member 575 forces the supporting plate 53 to rotate to a horizontal state, so as to seal the steel wire 100 inside the protection pipe 52. When the driving member 56 drives the cutter 51 to move downward, the pressing bar 571 applies pressure to the pressing plate 572, so that the fixing shaft 573 can be forced to rotate by the pressing plate 572 while the cutter 51 is driven to cut the steel wire 100 until the cutter 51 cuts the steel wire 100, and the connecting rod 574 drives the supporting plate 53 to rotate to an inclined state, so that the cut steel wire 100 is automatically poured out. It should be noted that, the specific structure of the driving member 56 is not limited in this application, and the following only provides a reference structure: as shown in fig. 14, the driving member 56 includes a driving cylinder 561 and a return spring 562, the driving cylinder 561 is fixed above the table 50, and the lower end of the driving cylinder 561 is connected to the cutter 51 and the pressing rod 571, respectively; when the cylinder 561 is driven to be charged, the cutter 51 and the pressing bar 571 are forced to move downward at the same time; when the driving cylinder 561 stops the air intake, the return spring 562 forces the cutter 51 and the pressing lever 571 to move upward at the same time. The specific structure of the second elastic member 575 is not limited in this application, for example, the second elastic member 575 may employ a torsion spring or an elastic sheet or an elastic string, and may be installed between the fixed shaft 573 and the protection pipe 52 to force the supporting plate 53 to rotate to a horizontal state. In addition, how to control the air intake of the driving cylinder 561 when the table 50 slides to the right dead center is the prior art, for example, a photoelectric actuator is disposed between the case 1 and the table 50, when the photoelectric actuator detects that the table 50 slides to the right dead center, a signal occurs, and the processor receives the signal and then timely controls the air intake of the driving cylinder 561.

Referring to fig. 19, in some embodiments of the present application, the pallet 53 is preferably an arcuate structure; when the pallet 53 is rotated to a horizontal state, the intrados of the pallet 53 faces upward, so that the cut steel wire 100 can slide down to the center position of the pallet 53 by gravity; when the supporting plate 53 rotates from the horizontal state to the inclined state, the cut steel wire 100 does not slide immediately, but gradually slides down along the intrados of the supporting plate 53 (as shown in fig. 28), so that the steel wire 100 can be better guided, and the collection of the steel wire 100 is facilitated.

Referring to fig. 14, in some embodiments of the present application, a table 50 includes a table body 503 and a bushing 504, the bushing 504 being detachably disposed on the table body 503; the channel 501 is formed on the insert 504, and the second mounting hole 502 is formed on the insert 504 and the table body 503. On one hand, the insert 504 can be manufactured into standard components, namely, the diameter of the channel 501 on each insert 504 is different, so as to meet the requirements of steel wires 100 of different types; on the other hand, the insert 504 can be replaced independently, so that the later maintenance cost is reduced. The mounting and dismounting of the insert 504 are performed in the prior art, such as fastening, screwing, or mounting and fixing by screws, which are not illustrated herein.

Referring to fig. 13, in some embodiments of the present application, the cutting assembly 5 further includes a support 58, and the right end of the protective tube 52 is slidably disposed on the support 58. The right end of the protective tube 52 is effectively supported by the support 58 to improve the stability of the protective tube 52 during movement. It should be noted that, the specific structure of the supporting member 58 is not limited in this application, and the following only provides a reference structure: as shown in fig. 16, the supporting member 58 includes a vertical rod 581, a supporting rod 582 and a fixed pulley 583, the fixed pulley 583 is rotatably mounted on the vertical rod 581, and an annular groove is coaxially provided on an outer circumferential surface of the fixed pulley 583; the support rods 582 are fixed at the upper end of the protection pipeline 52, and the support rods 582 are connected in the annular groove in a rolling manner, so that the support rods 582 (namely the protection pipeline 52) can be supported and limited, and friction force between the support rods 582 can be reduced.

Referring to fig. 18 and 20, in some embodiments of the present application, the cutting assembly 5 further includes a buffer member 59, where the buffer member 59 is disposed between the table 50 and the chassis 1, so as to avoid the table 50 and the chassis 1 from colliding with each other. Since the first elastic member 54 forces the table 50 to slide leftward, when the buffer member 59 is not provided, the table 50 directly collides with the cabinet 1 when sliding to the left dead center, thereby easily causing damage. It should be noted that, the specific structure of the buffer member 59 is not limited in this application, and only one structure is provided below for reference: as shown in fig. 20, the buffer member 59 includes a buffer block 591, a buffer cylinder 592, and a buffer spring 593, the buffer cylinder 592 is fixed on the chassis 1, the buffer block 591 is fixed on a telescopic end of the buffer cylinder 592, and the buffer spring 593 is disposed between the buffer cylinder 592 and the buffer block 591; when the table 50 slides leftward, the table 50 first contacts the buffer block 591, thereby shortening the buffer cylinder 592 and compressing the buffer spring 593, so that the kinetic energy of the table 50 can be sufficiently offset, and damage between the table 50 and the cabinet 1 due to mutual collision can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 8, 18 and 21, in some embodiments of the present application, the automated welding apparatus further comprises a guide assembly 6 for guiding the wire 100 through the clamping zone; the guide assembly 6 comprises a first collar 61 and a second collar 62; the first collar 61 is vertically arranged on the chassis 1, and a through hole 611 for passing through the steel wire 100 is arranged on the first collar 61 in a penetrating manner along the left-right direction; the second collar 62 is disposed on the chassis 1, and the second collar 62 is sleeved on the steel wire 100. As shown in fig. 21, the initial end of the steel wire 100 can be effectively guided by the through hole 611, so that the steel wire 100 can more accurately enter the second collar 62, and meanwhile, the contact area between the through hole 611 and the steel wire 100 is small, so that the curved steel wire 100 is prevented from being blocked in the through hole 611. The contact area between the second collar 62 and the wire 100 is large, so that the wire 100 can be straightened primarily, and the wire 100 can be led into the traction assembly 3 more accurately. In order to accommodate different diameter wires 100, the size of the through hole 611 may be adjusted to the maximum (i.e., the wire 100 satisfying the maximum diameter may pass therethrough), and the second collar 62 may be provided in a detachable structure, so that the second collar 62 may be manufactured as a standard member to satisfy the demands for different diameter wires 100. The detachable mounting manner of the second collar 62 is a prior art, and may be implemented, for example, by a threaded connection, a clamping connection, or a screw fixing, which are not illustrated herein.

Referring to fig. 22 and 27, the loading assembly 7 includes a bracket 71, a guide plate 72, a conveyor belt 73, and a discharge rail 74, wherein the bracket 71 is disposed on the front side of the protection pipe 52 (of course, the bracket 71 may be disposed on the rear side of the protection pipe 52); the material guide plate 72 is obliquely arranged on the bracket 71, and the upper end of the material guide plate 72 extends to the position right below the supporting plate 53; the discharging track 74 is obliquely arranged on the bracket 71, and the discharging track 74 is positioned on one side of the material guiding plate 72, which is deviated from the protective pipeline 52; the conveyor belt 73 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 71, and the conveyor belt 73 is located between the lower end of the guide plate 72 and the upper end of the discharge rail 74. When the pallet 53 is rotated to an inclined condition (as shown in fig. 28), the cut wire 100 (i.e., the transverse rib) slides down onto the guide plate 72 and along the guide plate 72 onto the conveyor belt 73, the conveyor belt 73 conveys the wire 100 onto the discharge rail 74 and aligns the lower end of the discharge rail 74 with the discharge member 82 such that the transverse rib automatically slides down the discharge rail 74 onto the discharge member 82 under the force of gravity. In addition, the edges of the upper end and the left and right ends of the guide plate 72 may be bent to form a baffle plate, so as to prevent the steel wire 100 on the guide plate 72 from falling off. It should be noted that, the conveying belt 73 may be in a v-belt type, a chain type, etc., and the conveying belt 73 and the rotatable mounting manner thereof belong to the prior art, and are not described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 27 and 29, in order to prevent the steel wire 100 (i.e., the lateral rib) from slipping on the conveyor belt 73, the conveyor belt 73 is provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 731 for restricting the sliding of the steel wire 100, and the plurality of clamping blocks 731 are adapted to be equally spaced along the endless direction of the conveyor belt 73. The clamping block 731 can prevent the transverse rib from slipping on the conveying belt 73 during the process of conveying the transverse rib. In addition, in the case of a high level difference between the discharge rail 74 and the guide plate 72, by providing the clamp block 731, the rising slope of the conveyor 73 can be increased, so that the compactness of the overall structure can be improved.

Referring to fig. 29, the feeding assembly 7 further includes a first blocking member 75, where the first blocking member 75 and the second blocking member 76 are disposed on the support 71, and the first blocking member 75 is used to block the steel wire 100 (i.e. the transverse rib) on the guide plate 72 from sliding off. Because the gradient of the conveyer belt 73 is great, under the condition that the transverse ribs slide to the lower end of the material guiding plate 72 and no clamping blocks 731 pass through the lower end of the material guiding plate 72, only relative sliding is generated between the transverse ribs and the conveyer belt 73, namely, the transverse ribs cannot move along with the conveyer belt 73, at the moment, friction force is generated between the transverse ribs and the conveyer belt 73, so that abrasion to the transverse ribs and the conveyer belt 73 is easily increased, and movement resistance of the conveyer belt 73 is easily increased. However, the first blocking member 75 can limit the transverse rib on the guide plate 72 from sliding down, when the lower end of the guide plate 72 passes through the clamping block 731, the blocking effect of the first blocking member 75 on the transverse rib is released, so that when the transverse rib slides down to the lower end of the guide plate 72, the clamping block 731 just passes through, and at the moment, the clamping block 731 just drives the transverse rib to rise. It should be noted that, the specific structure of the first blocking member 75 is not limited in this application, and only one structure is provided below for reference: the first blocking member 75 includes a first blocking plate 751 and a first telescopic cylinder 752, the first telescopic cylinder 752 is mounted and fixed on the bracket 71, the first blocking plate 751 is mounted and fixed on a telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 752, when the first telescopic cylinder 752 is controlled to extend, the first blocking plate 751 moves upwards to cross the material guide plate 72, so that the transverse ribs on the material guide plate 72 can be limited from sliding off; when the first telescopic cylinder 752 is controlled to be contracted, the first blocking plate 751 moves downward to the lower side of the guide plate 72, and thus the blocking effect on the lateral ribs can be released. In addition, the feeding assembly 7 further comprises a sensing piece 78 for automatically controlling the first telescopic cylinder 752 to stretch; as shown in fig. 23, the sensing member 78 includes a shift lever 781, a roller 782, and a sensing switch 783, the sensing switch 783 is disposed on the support 71, one end of the shift lever 781 is rotatably mounted on the support 71 through a torsion spring, and the torsion spring forces the shift lever 781 to rotate to contact with the sensing switch 783, and the roller 782 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the shift lever 781; when the clamping block 731 moves to the position of the roller 782 along with the conveying belt 73, the clamping block 731 pushes the roller 782, so that the deflector 781 is driven to deviate from the inductive switch 783, and at the moment, the inductive switch 783 is turned on to control the first telescopic cylinder 752 to be shortened; when the clamping block 731 moves to be separated from the roller 782, the torsion spring forces the deflector 781 to reset, and at the moment, the inductive switch 783 is closed to control the first telescopic cylinder 752 to extend; the roller 782 is in rolling connection with the clamping block 731, so that the friction resistance is small. It should be noted that, the sensing switch 783 and the control manner of the sensing switch for controlling the first telescopic cylinder 752 are all of the prior art, and are not described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 30, the loading assembly 7 further includes a second blocking member 76, and the second blocking member 76 is used to block the wire 100 on the discharge rail 74 from sliding down. When the feeding of the discharging part 82 needs to be stopped, the steel wire 100 (i.e. the transverse rib) on the discharging track 74 can be blocked from sliding off by the second blocking part 76; when the material is required to be fed to the material discharging part 82, the blocking effect of the second blocking part 76 on the transverse ribs can be released, so that the transverse ribs on the material discharging track 74 can automatically slide onto the material discharging part 82; in addition, the second blocking member 76 may block the transverse ribs on the discharging track 74 from sliding down, and after a certain number of transverse ribs are accumulated on the discharging track 74, the blocking effect of the second blocking member 76 on the transverse ribs is released, so that the accumulated transverse ribs can be conveyed to the discharging member 82 at one time. It should be noted that the specific structure of the second blocking member 76 is not limited in this application, and only one structure is provided below for reference: the second blocking member 76 includes a second blocking plate 761 and a second telescopic cylinder 762, the second telescopic cylinder 762 is mounted and fixed on the support 71, and the second blocking plate 761 is mounted and fixed on a telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 762; when the second telescopic cylinder 762 is controlled to extend, the second blocking plate 761 moves upwards to cross the discharging track 74, so that the transverse ribs in the discharging track 74 are limited to slide off; when the second telescopic cylinder 762 is controlled to be contracted, the second blocking plate 761 moves downward to the lower side of the discharging rail 74, so that the blocking effect on the lateral ribs can be released.

Referring to fig. 27 and 30, in order to enhance the storage capacity of the discharge rail 74 for the wire 100 (i.e., the lateral ribs), the upper end of the discharge rail 74 may be formed with an aggregate area 741 for collecting the wire 100, and more lateral ribs may be stored through the aggregate area 741 so as to provide sufficient lateral ribs on the discharge 82 at one time.

Referring to fig. 22 and 24, the feeding assembly 7 further includes a pushing member 77, where the pushing member 77 is disposed on the bracket 71, and the pushing member 77 is used to push the steel wire 100 (i.e. the transverse rib) in the collecting area 741 to move left and right, so that the left and right ends of the transverse rib in the collecting area 741 are aligned.

Of course, the pushing plate 771 may also extend onto the discharging track 74, so that the material collecting area 741 and the transverse ribs in the discharging track 74 are aligned in the left-right direction.

Referring to fig. 26, the discharge member 82 includes a discharge rack 821, a guide rail 822, and a discharge disc 823; the material discharging frame 821 is arranged on the mounting frame 81 in a sliding way back and forth, and the material discharging frame 821 is positioned above the positioning groove 811; the material guiding rail 822 is arranged on the material discharging frame 821, the material guiding rail 822 comprises a material storing area 8221, an arc area 8222 and a material discharging area 8223, and the upper end of the material discharging area 8223 is communicated with the material storing area 8221 through the arc area 8222; the discharge disc 823 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 81, and an accommodating groove 8231 is axially formed in the outer annular surface of the discharge disc 823 in a penetrating mode. When the discharge rack 821 slides to the position of the feeding assembly 7, the feeding assembly 7 conveys the steel wire 100 (i.e., the transverse ribs) into the storage area 8221, i.e., when the discharge rack 821 slides to the lower end position of the discharge track 74 (as shown in fig. 31), the second blocking member 76 is controlled to release the blocking effect on the steel wire 100 (i.e., the transverse ribs), so that the transverse ribs in the discharge track 74 automatically slide into the storage area 8221; when the accommodating groove 8231 rotates along with the discharging disc 823 to the storage area 8221, one transverse rib in the storage area 8231 automatically slides into the accommodating groove 8231 under the action of gravity; when the accommodating groove 8231 rotates along with the discharging disc 823 into the circular arc area 8222, a limiting area for limiting the steel wire 100 (i.e. the transverse rib) from being separated from the accommodating groove 8231 is formed between the outer annular surface of the discharging disc 823 and the circular arc area 8222; as shown in fig. 32, when the lower end of the blanking area 8223 slides along with the discharge rack 821 to be aligned with one of the positioning grooves 811, and the receiving groove 823 rotates along with the discharge disc 823 into the blanking area 8223, the transverse rib falls off from the receiving groove 823 and slides along the blanking area 823 into the corresponding positioning groove 811; by pushing in this way, the transverse ribs are automatically conveyed into the positioning grooves 811 in turn. It should be noted that, the rotatable mounting manner of the discharge disc 823 and the slidable mounting manner of the discharge rack 821 are both prior art, and are not described in detail herein.

The specific structure of the feeding member 83 is not limited in this application, and only one structure is provided below for reference: as shown in fig. 25, the feeding member 83 includes a feeding cylinder 831 and an L-shaped feeding plate 832, and the feeding plate 832 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 81; the feeding cylinder 831 is provided on the mounting frame 81 and is used for pushing the feeding plate 832 to slide left and right. When the transverse rib needs to be pushed leftwards, the feeding plate 832 is positioned at the right end of the mounting frame 81; when it is desired to push the transverse bar to the right, the feed plate 832 is located at the left end of the mounting frame 81.

Referring to fig. 32, the discharge assembly 8 further includes a blocking member 84, where the blocking member 84 is disposed on the discharge rack 821, and the blocking member 84 is configured to block the steel wire 100 (i.e., the transverse rib) in the blanking area 8223 from sliding off. Under the action of the resisting piece 84, on one hand, the transverse ribs falling from the accommodating groove 8231 can be limited to directly fall into the positioning groove 811, otherwise, once the transverse ribs directly fall into the positioning groove 811, the kinetic energy of the transverse ribs is large, and the transverse ribs are easy to pop out of the positioning groove 811; on the other hand, before the lower end of the blanking area 8223 is aligned with the positioning groove 811, the transverse rib can be moved to the position of the resisting piece 84, when the lower end of the blanking area 8223 is aligned with the positioning groove 811, the blocking effect on the transverse rib is released, and the transverse rib can rapidly drop into the corresponding positioning groove 811, so that the transverse rib can be prevented from being ejected, and the feeding speed of the transverse rib can be improved. It should be noted that, the specific structure of the resisting member 84 is not limited in this application, and only one structure is provided below for reference: the resisting member 84 includes a rotating shaft 841 and a resisting rod 842, the rotating shaft 841 is rotatably mounted on the discharging frame 821, and the axis of the rotating shaft 841 is arranged along the left-right direction; the stop lever 842 is arranged on the rotating shaft 841, and when the stop lever 842 rotates along with the rotating shaft 841 to intersect with the blanking region 8223, the transverse ribs in the blanking region 8223 can be limited to slide off; when the blocking rod 842 rotates along with the rotating shaft 841 to be parallel to the blanking area 8223, the blocking effect on the transverse ribs can be released. In addition, the rotatable mounting manner of the rotating shaft 841 is the prior art, and will not be described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 32, the width of the lower end of the discharging area 8223 is less than or equal to the width of the upper end of the positioning groove 811, the height of the lower end of the discharging area 8223 is less than or equal to the height of the upper end of the positioning groove 811, and the height of the lower end of the discharging area 8223 is greater than the height of the steel wire 100 (i.e., the transverse rib) in the positioning groove 811. When the lower end of the blanking area 8223 is aligned with the positioning groove 811, a closed area is formed between the blanking area 8223 and the positioning groove 811, so that the lateral rib can be prevented from being ejected from the positioning groove 811.

Referring to fig. 32, the positioning groove 811 is preferably a V-shaped structure. On the one hand, the V-shaped structure can accommodate steel wires 100 of different diameters (i.e., transverse ribs); on the other hand, under the action of gravity, the positions of the transverse ribs in the positioning grooves 811 are ensured to be relatively fixed, namely, the heights of the transverse ribs with the same diameter in the positioning grooves 811 are the same, and the distances between two adjacent transverse ribs are equal.

It should be noted that, the case 1, the fixing assembly 2, the traction assembly 3, the straightening assembly 4, the cutting assembly 5 and the feeding assembly 7 may also be used for manufacturing longitudinal ribs, and the manufacturing principle thereof is the same as that of manufacturing transverse ribs, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted herein. Therefore, when a set of machine case 1, a fixing component 2, a traction component 3, a straightening component 4, a cutting component 5 and a feeding component 7 are arranged, the manufacture of longitudinal ribs can be automatically realized; simultaneously, the lower end of the discharging track 74 on the feeding assembly 7 is opposite to the feeding mechanism 93, so that the manufactured longitudinal ribs can be automatically conveyed to the feeding mechanism 93.

It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the embodiments described above, and that the embodiments and descriptions described herein are merely illustrative of the principles of the present application, and that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims.
