Definitions
- the present invention relates to a twisting assembly for a wire, e.g. a metal wire, for a machine for making cages for corks to be associated with sparkling wine bottles.
- a twisting assembly that can twist a metal wire for making cages, e.g. for making the star points or the legs of the cage. Said cage, comprising legs and a belt, will be made by a cage making machine with which said twisting assembly is associated.
- the twisting assembly allows the wire present between the two ends of a retaining element to be twisted via a rotation mechanism, which can rotate about an axis, and a clamping mechanism, which is rotated by the said rotation mechanism, but can also make at least one linear movement, for guiding the wire and allowing it to be extracted at the end of the process.
- Said twisting assembly when used for making star points or legs, represents one of the initial stations for processing the metal wire for making cages.
- the cage making machine comprises a number of twisting assemblies, or twisting stations, at least equal to the number of legs of the cage .
- Machines which comprise twisting stations or assemblies that include a first actuator allowing the rotation of an element for retaining the metal wires of the cage, which actuator acts upon a first shaft by means of a bevel gear pair.
- Patent EP2025428 describes a solution comprising two coaxial shafts, wherein the external shaft is coupled, through a bevel gear pair, to said first actuator, and a second shaft, internal to said first shaft, is operated by a second actuator via a translation mechanism. Said actuators are located far from each other, thus taking up much room and requiring high maintenance costs .
- the solutions proposed in the prior art do not allow achieving direct transmission of the rotary motion of the twisting assembly, since all of them comprise transmission and/or idle elements for transferring the motion generated, for example, by a single shaft, to which a plurality of cams are connected, one of which allows the rotation of the assembly and, when appropriate, drives the retaining means for clamping or releasing the metal wire.
- the solution known in the art cannot make the motion of the metal wire retaining means independent of the rotation of the valve assembly.
- the present invention aims at solving the above- mentioned technical problems by providing a twisting assembly or twisting station for twisting wires, e.g. metal wires, wherein the rotary motion is transmitted directly by an actuating device, which is directly fitted on the axis of rotation; furthermore, the present invention allows making the motion of the metal wire retaining devices independent of the rotation devices of the assembly.
- the present solution allows solving all of the above-mentioned technical problems.

- Figures 6A and 6B respectively show ( Figure 6A) a machine for making cages for corks to be associated with sparkling wine bottles, in particular the initial portion of a machine wherein the star for cage production is formed, and Figure 6B a cage that can be manufactured by the machine of Figure 6A.
- twisting assembly 2 for twisting at least one wire "M”, e.g. a metal wire, is adapted to be applied to a machine 1 for making cages "G” for sparkling wine bottles, as shown by way of example in Figure 6A.
- Twisting assembly 2 comprises a clamping mechanism 3 for clamping or releasing at least one wire "M", e.g. a metal wire, which will be used for making at least a part of cage “G”; and a rotation mechanism 4 for causing said clamping mechanism 3 to rotate about a first axis "X" .

- the present solution allows rotating clamping mechanism 3 while at the same time moving, at least partially, retaining element 32.
- the present invention ensures full independence in the forming of the legs of cages "G", while reducing the processing, construction and assembly times of the machine itself, thanks to the direct transmission of the rotary motion to clamping mechanism 3. Moreover, this direct transmission eliminates any mechanical play that caused, in prior-art solutions, uneven quality of the finished product. Twisting assembly 2 applied to a cage making machine 1 makes it possible, unlike prior technologies, to achieve accurate control over each twisting assembly or twister 2, e.g. by providing univocal management of the making of each leg of cage "G", as opposed to the control over pairs of clamping mechanisms 3 provided by prior-art technologies .

In the illustrated embodiment, this is effected by means of a planar-face coupling between said first shaft 34 and said second shaft 38.
- said coupling between the two shafts may be provided in proximity to retaining element 32, in particular near the first support structure 22.
- the linear motion of retaining element 32, and in particular of the second shaft 38, to which the movable portion 322 is connected, is effected by means of the second actuator 36, which generates a rotary motion.
- the motion conversion mechanism 6 which is connected to said second actuator 36 through a joint, the rotary motion generated by the second actuator 36 is transformed into a linear motion.
- the preferred embodiment comprises a ball screw 364 which, being supported by two supports, moves a scroll 366 fixed to one or more movable elements 362.
- Said motion conversion mechanism 6 is guided, in its lower part, by a second guide 62, e.g. consisting of a ball-type pad.
- Said at least one movable element 362 abuts against said first portion 52, consisting of two flanges, through two radial bearings interposed along axis X.
- the flanges of said first portion 52 are supported by the first shaft 34 by means of bushings and, in turn, secured to said two dowel pins constituting said engagement element 56.
- said engagement elements 56 are arranged in a plane perpendicular to axis "X" .
- Said engagement elements 56 pass through first guides 54 consisting of slots in the first shaft 34, which is hollow.
- said dowel pins of engagement element 56 are inserted into two holes, e.g. through holes, in said second shaft 38.
- Said engagement element 56 is adapted to transmit the linear motion to said second shaft 38.
- clamping element 3 can make linear and rotary movements in an independent manner.
- the present solution comprises bushings internal to the hollow first shaft 34, e.g. located in proximity to the joint that connects said first actuator 42 to said first shaft 34, thereby facilitating the linear motion of the second shaft 38.
- the solution according to the present invention allows providing a compact twisting assembly 2 that takes up less room and allows positioning the actuating devices in the same plane and close to each other.
- the solution according to the present invention also turns out to be mechanically simple, because it does not make use of gear trains for transmitting the rotary motion.
- Direct motion transmission via direct engagement with the first shaft 34 reduces the risks of failure or wear which are typical of prior-art solutions, which make use of gear trains, such as, for example, bevel gear pairs.
