Abstract
A wire body winding device that winds a wire body around a bobbin includes a bobbin pivoting mechanism that pivotally supports and pivots the bobbin, a wire body holding mechanism that holds the wire body, and a wire body moving mechanism configured to move the wire body holding mechanism. When the wire body is pulled out, the wire body moving mechanism moves the wire body holding mechanism between a take-up position where the wire body holding mechanism is capable of holding the wire body and a wire body winding position where the wire body is woundable around the bobbin.
Claims6
A wire body winding device that winds a wire body around a bobbin, the wire body winding device comprising:
- a bobbin pivoting mechanism comprising a rotation shaft that pivotally supports and pivots the bobbin;
- a wire body holding mechanism that holds the wire body by suction or by pinching;
- and
- a wire body moving mechanism configured to move the wire body holding mechanism,
- wherein a plurality of the bobbin pivoting mechanisms are provided, and
- wherein the wire body moving mechanism:
- is moved in a horizontal direction, and between the plurality of the bobbin pivoting mechanisms in a vertical direction;
- and
- when the wire body is pulled out, moves the wire body holding mechanism between a take-up position where the wire body holding mechanism is capable of holding the wire body and a wire body winding position where the wire body is windable around the bobbin.
A wire body winding method using a wire body winding device, the wire body winding device including a plurality of bobbin pivoting mechanisms comprising a rotation shaft that pivotally support and pivot a bobbin around which a wire body is to be wound, a wire body holding mechanism that holds the wire body by suction or by pinching, a wire body moving mechanism configured to move the wire body holding mechanism, a bobbin selection mechanism comprising a slider configured to select the bobbin around which the wire body is to be wound, and a wire body cleaving mechanism comprising a cutter configured to cleave the wire body, the wire body winding method comprising:
- holding the wire body by the wire body holding mechanism when the wire body is pulled out;
- moving the wire body holding mechanism in a horizontal direction, and between the plurality of the bobbin pivoting mechanisms in a vertical direction, to a wire body winding position where the wire body is windable around the bobbin after the holding;
- selecting the bobbin around which the wire body is to be wound by the bobbin selection mechanism after the moving;
- locking the wire body by a wire body catching portion comprising a claw after the setting;
- and
- cleaving the wire body locked to the bobbin by the wire body cleaving mechanism after the locking.
