Abstract

Disclosed is an automatic wire replacing system for use in an automatic wire coiling apparatus including spindle having bobbins, at least one group of nozzle members, and a moving/controlling mechanism. The system comprises chucking means equipped on the moving/controlling mechanism so as to chuck a nozzle bar, a nozzle carrier so disposed as to travel in a manner that it can move toward and away from the chucking means, a plurality of clipping bases so disposed that two or more of them are arranged in parallel on each side of a travelling path for the nozzle carrier, and an extending retracting means for extending a corresponding one of the clipping bases onto the nozzle carrier and retracting it from the nozzle carrier.

Claims

1. An automatic wire replacing system for use in an automatic wire coiling apparatus including spindles having a plurality of bobbins removably and rotatably mounted thereon a plurality of wires to be delivered to the bobbins, at least one group of nozzles, each nozzle having one of said wires introduced therethrough to deliver the wire it its corresponding bobbin, at least one nozzle bar on which one of said groups of nozzles is mounted, and a moving/controlling mechanism for moving one of rail bars, in back-and-forth, right-and-left, and up-and-down directions, the system comprising chucking means provided on said moving/controlling mechanism so as to chuck said nozzle bar, a nozzle carrier, means for moving the nozzle carrier near to and away from said chucking means, a plurality of clipping bases each having placed thereon one of the nozzle bars said clipping bases being arranged in a parallel in a waiting region on each side of a travelling path for said nozzle carrier, and an extending/retracting means for extending a corresponding one of said clipping bases onto said nozzle carrier and retracting it from said nozzle carrier.
