It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in schematic form in order to simplify the drawing.

According to one general technical concept of the present disclosure, there is provided a conductor processing apparatus including a conductor straightening unit including: a conductor support table adapted to support a travelling conductor; the pressing roller is suitable for pressing the conductor on the conductor support table to straighten the conductor; and a driving device adapted to drive the pressing roller to linearly reciprocate to press the conductor against or separate from the conductor on the conductor support table.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing the structure of a conductor processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the operation of the conductor treating apparatus shown in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the structure of the connecting rod and the pressing roller of the conductor processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1; and FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a structure of a conductor support base of the conductor processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the conductor processing apparatus includes a conductor straightening unit including a conductor support stage 21, the conductor support stage 21 being adapted to support a conductor 1 traveling in a direction R; a pressing roller 26, the pressing roller 26 being adapted to press the conductor 1 on the conductor support base 21 to straighten the conductor 1; and a driving device adapted to drive the pressing roller 26 to linearly reciprocate to press the conductor 1 on the conductor support base 21 or to separate the conductor 1 from the conductor 1 on the conductor support base 21.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the conductor straightening unit further includes a lock mechanism configured to lock the driving device so that the pressing roller 26 is maintained in a pressed state of pressing the conductor 1 when the pressing roller 26 is pressed against the conductor 1 on the conductor support table 21.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, a driving apparatus includes: a slider-crank mechanism; a connecting rod 25, a first end of the connecting rod 25 is connected with a crank 24 of the crank-slider mechanism, and a pressing roller 26 is rotatably connected with a second end of the connecting rod 25; and a motor adapted to drive the crank 24 in rotation. When the crank 22 of the slider-crank mechanism is driven to rotate by the motor, the slider 24 is driven by the connecting rod 23 of the slider-crank mechanism to move linearly in a reciprocating manner in a direction substantially perpendicular to the traveling direction R of the conductor 1. However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that other types of driving devices, such as cylinders, etc., may be used in other embodiments of the present disclosure.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the lock mechanism is configured to lock the rotation angle of the motor when the pressing roller 26 presses the conductor 1 on the conductor support table 21. That is, when the pressing roller 26 is pressed against the conductor 1 on the conductor support base 21, the rotation angle of the motor is locked by the lock mechanism so that the motor does not continue to rotate, which makes it possible to keep the pressing roller 26 in a pressed state of pressing the conductor 1. When the straightening operation of the conductor 1 is not required to be continued, the locking mechanism is deactivated, so that the motor continues to rotate, and the pressing roller 26 is driven by the slider-crank mechanism to be separated from the conductor 1 on the conductor support platform 21 and reset.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the pressing roller 26 presses the conductor 1 on the conductor support base 21, the slider-crank mechanism is in the bottom dead center position.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the connection rod 25 includes an elastic section 25A and a first rigid section 25B and a second rigid section 25B' connected to both ends of the elastic section 25A, respectively. This makes it possible to make the connecting rod 25 expandable and contractible in the axial direction thereof to further control the pressing force and the pressing depth of the pressing roller 26 pressing on the conductor 1.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the pressing roller 26 includes a pressing roller body 26A and an elastic layer 26B provided on a circumferential surface of the pressing roller body 26A. After the pressing roller 26 is moved down to be in contact with the conductor 1 on the conductor support base 21 by the driving of the driving device, the elastic layer 26B is gradually compressed to adjust the pressing force and the pressing depth pressed on the conductor 1.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the conductor processing apparatus further includes a feeding unit including a reel 31 on which the conductor 1 is wound and at least one

guide rollers

32, 33 in synchronous counter-rotation for feeding the conductor 1 forward through the pair of

guide rollers

32, 33.

In an exemplary embodiment not shown in the present disclosure, a plurality of

guide roller pairs

32, 33 are provided at intervals in the traveling direction of the conductor 1.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the conductor processing apparatus further includes a cutting unit 40, and the cutting unit 40 is adapted to cut the straightened conductor 1 into a predetermined length.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the cutting unit 40 cuts the conductor 1 based on the stroke of the

guide roller pair

32, 33 of the feeding unit and/or the number of rotations of the reel 31. The stroke of the conductor 1 is calculated based on the number of rotations of the pair of

guide rollers

32, 33 and/or the reel 31, and when the stroke reaches a predetermined length, the cutting unit 40 is notified to cut the conductor 1.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 4, the conductor support table 21 includes a base 21A, an upper surface of the base 21A is provided with two upwardly protruding position limiting portions 21B, and a positioning groove adapted to position the conductor 1 is formed in the middle of the two position limiting portions 21B.
