How does the spring mechanism work?
May 09, 2024| The working principle of spring mechanism mainly involves the manufacturing process and physical characteristics of springs.
The straightening mechanism is designed to eliminate the bending deformation of steel wires and improve the accuracy of coil springs. It consists of two sets of straightening rollers.
The feeding mechanism compresses the steel wire through the feeding wheel and drives it forward in a straight line through rotation. The feeding length is determined by the circumference of the feeding wheel, while the unfolding length of the spring is determined by the number of rotations of the feeding wheel.
Variable diameter mechanism, which controls the outer diameter of the spring and is composed of two top rods and a variable diameter cam, is used to produce cylindrical or variable diameter springs.
Pitch control mechanism, used to control the pitch of the spring, achieved through pitch knife and variable pitch cam.
The cutting mechanism is used to cut the steel wire and complete the production of the spring after the spring is wound and formed.
In addition, the working principle of springs is also based on the elasticity and special structure of the material, which generates elastic deformation under external forces, absorbs mechanical work or kinetic energy, and returns to its original state after unloading under external forces, releasing deformation energy.
