Each post (21) has multiple evenly-spaced annular channels (211) radially defined therein and parallel to each other. A disk (22) is pivotally mounted on the base adjacent to the posts (21). A supporting shaft (221) is mounted on the base and abuts a first end of the disk (22) opposite to the posts (21), and a spring (222) is mounted in the base and is located under and supports a second end of the disk (22) adjacent to the posts (21). A first pressured cylinder (25) is mounted at a lower end of the body of the wire feeding member (20) and substantially under the supporting shaft (221). A pushing shaft (251) is formed at and extends upward from a top end of the first pressured cylinder (25) and extends toward the disk (22). A pressing shaft (23) is mounted on the body and abuts against the top of the disk (22). A first friction wheel (24) is rotatably mounted on the body of the wire feeding member (20) and over the supporting shaft (221). A spindle (241) is transversely mounted on a center of the friction wheel (24) and extends out of the body of the wire feeding member (20). A third belt wheel (242) is mounted around the spindle (241), and a first belt is mounted around and between the first belt wheel (135) and the third belt wheel (242). The first belt wheel (135) has a diameter same as that of the third belt wheel (242).
With reference to FIGS. 7, 10 and 11, the wire winding member (30) has a hollow support (31) and a wire winding disk (32) mounted in the support (31). The wire winding disk (32) has a slightly thinner thickness than that of the support (31) so that a first step (311) is formed in interconnecting surfaces of the wire winding disk (32) and the support (31).
With reference to FIGS. 5, 7-9, the support (31) has a block (33) which is formed at a lower end of the support (31) and extends towards an upper end of the wire winding disk (32). Multiple wire grooves (330) are respectively defined in the block (33), and a wire inlet (331) and a wire outlet (332) are respectively defined in two ends of each wire groove (330). The wire inlet (331) is defined at a lower end of the block (33) that extends to the bottom of the support (31), and the wire outlet (332) is defined at an upper end of the block (33) that extend to the top of the support (31).

With further reference to FIGS. 2, 3, 10 and 11, two first holes are respectively defined in a periphery of the support (31) and opposite to each other while two second holes are respectively defined in a periphery of the wire winding disk (32) and corresponding to the first holes. Multiple second friction wheels (34) are respectively received into the first and the second holes and mounted on the first step (311). Two mandrels (341) are respectively mounted at ends of two of the second friction wheels (34) and extend out of the support (31). Two fourth belt wheels (342) are respectively mounted around the mandrels (341) and correspond respectively to the second belt wheels (142). Each corresponding pair of the second belt wheel (142) and the fourth belt wheel (342) is encircled by a second driving belt (343) so that each fourth belt wheel (342) is driven by the corresponding second belt wheel (142) via the second driving belt (343). The second belt wheels (142) have a bigger diameter than the fourth belt wheels (342) so that the mandrels (341) rotate more quickly than the second axles (141) and the second friction wheels (34) rotate more quickly than the first friction wheels (24).
With reference to FIGS. 11-14, a cutout (321) is defined in a periphery of the wire winding disk (32). A gap (322) is defined in the periphery of the wire winding disk (32) and apart from the cutout (321). A wire cutting member (35) is mounted on the support (31) and extending into the gap (322). A plane (351) is formed at an end of the wire cutting member (35) and lower than the periphery of the support (31). A second step (352) is formed at a top end of the plane (351) and corresponds to the first step (311). A wire-out gap (36) is defined in the support (31) and aims to the wire cutting member (35).
With reference to FIGS. 2, 11, 15-17, the spool feeding member (40) is mounted on the support and corresponds to the cutout (321). The spool feeding member (40) has a needle (41) mounted on the support (31) and inserted into the cutout (321). The spool feeding member (40) has a box (42) and a slot (421) defined in a periphery of the box (42). A spool inlet (422) is defined in a top end of the box (42) and in communication with the slot (421). A spool outlet (423) is defined in a side of the box (42) and communicates with the slot (421). A pushing bar (424) is connected to a second pressured cylinder (425) and inserted into the spool outlet (423). A resilient piece (426) is securely mounted in the box (42) and has a curved end which is mounted between the slot (421) and the spool outlet (423).
With reference to FIGS. 11, 16 and 17, an upper wheel (43) is mounted at an upper end of the cutout (321) and mated with an upper driving wheel (431). Two lower wheels (44) are respectively mounted at a lower end of the cutout (321) and unengaged with each other. The lower wheels (44) are respectively mated with a lower driving wheel (441) which is mounted under the lower wheels (44).
With reference to FIGS. 2, 17-20, the driving member (50) is mounted at a side of a second flat (51) and a second motor (52) is mounted at the second flat (51) and opposite to the spool feeding member (40). A wheel unit (53) is mounted at the second flat (51) and adjacent to the spool feeding member (40). The wheel unit (53) has a first wheel (531), a second wheel (532), a third wheel (533), a fourth wheel (534), a fifth wheel (535) and a sixth wheel (536). The second wheel (532) and the third wheel (534) are respectively mated with the first wheel (531). The second wheel (532) is also mated with the fourth wheel (534) while the third wheel (533) is also mated with the fifth wheel (535) which is mated with the sixth wheel (536). A central spindle (521) extends out of the second motor (52) and inserted through the second flat (51). A pivotal shaft (54) is inserted through the second flat (51) and adjacent to the second motor (52) and securely mounted at a pushing plane (541). A third pressured cylinder (55) is mounted adjacent to the second motor (52) and a bar (551) extending out of the third pressured cylinder (55) is connected to the pushing plane (541). A first end of a pivotal plane (542) is connected to the pivotal shaft (54) and a second end of the pivotal plane (542) is connected to a pivotal wheel (56).
With reference to FIGS. 1, 16 and 18, the upper driving wheel (431) is connected to the second wheel (532) with a first soft driving shaft (57) while the pivotal wheel (56) is connected to the lower wheel (441) with a second soft driving shaft (58).
With reference to FIGS. 15-18, a spool (60) is inserted into the slot (421) via the spool inlet (422) and stopped by the resilient piece (426). The second pressured cylinder (425) is driven by a PLC (programmable logic controller) and the pushing bar (424) is driven by the second pressured cylinder (425) to push the spool (60) forwards and push aside the resilient piece (426) so that the spool (60) slides between the upper wheel (43) and the lower wheels (44).
With further reference to FIG. 11, the needle (41) is driven to extend toward the cutout (321) thereby inserted into the spool (60) so that the spool (60) can not separate from the upper driving wheel (43) and the lower driving wheel (44).
With reference to FIGS. 18-20, the third pressured cylinder (55) is driven by the PLC to push the bar (551) and the pushing plane (541). The pivotal shaft (54) is rotated via the pushing plane (541) so that the pivotal plane (542) is pivoted and the pivotal wheel (56) is mated with the fourth wheel (534). The pivotal wheel (56) is rotated with the second wheel (532) in a same direction so that the upper wheel (43) rotates with the lower wheel (44) in a same direction. Hence, a lower end of the upper wheel (43) rotates with an upper end of the lower wheel (44) in a different direction so that the spool (60) rotates between them.
With reference to FIGS. 2-5, a wire is encircled around the channel (211) and moved onto the disk (22) and adjacent to the pressing shaft (23). The wire then passes between the supporting shaft (221) and the first friction wheel (24). The first pressured cylinder (25) is driven by the PLC so that the pushing shaft (251) is pushed upwards and presses against the disk (22) upwards. Hence, the wire is aimed to and moved into the soft tube (70) via the rotation of the first friction wheel (24).
With reference to FIGS. 6-9, the wire passes through the soft tube (70) and moves into one of the wire inlets (331). The wire extends into the corresponding wire groove (330) and passes through a side of the wire cutting surface (335) and out of the corresponding wire outlet (332).
With reference to FIGS. 7, 10, 11 and 15, the wire is moved into the wire winding disk (32) via the wire outlet (332) and along the first step (311) to pass between the second friction wheels (34) and wire winding disk (32). The second friction wheels (34) rotate more quickly than the first friction wheels (24) so that the wire is tightly encircled the periphery of the spool (60) to form wave filtering coils.
A sensor monitors the length of the wire which is inserted into the wire winding disk (32) and the PLC gets the feedback. With reference to FIG. 5, when the length of wire which is inserted into the wire winding disk (32) meets the predetermined demand, the first pressured cylinder (25) is pushed to resume the pushing shaft (251) to its original position so that the spring (222) pushes the disk (22) upwards. Hence, the supporting shaft (221) moves opposite to the first friction wheel (24) and the wire can not move via the rotation of the first friction wheel (24).
With reference to FIGS. 8, 9, 12 and 14, the wire is driven by the second friction wheels (34) to move in the wire winding member (30) and the wire cutting member (35) is driven by the PLC so that the wire is stopped by the second step (351) and moved into the wire-out gap (36). The first step (311) is flush with the second step (352) and the semi-circular post (334) is rotated by the PLC so that the wire cutting surface (335) is mated with the wire groove (330) to cut the wire.
With reference to FIGS. 11, 15, 17, 19-20, the third pressure cylinder (55) is driven by the PLC to resume the bar to an original position. The pushing plane (541) is pivoted to rotate the pivotal shaft (54) to drive the pivotal plane (542). Hence, the pivotal wheel (56) is separated from the fourth wheel (534) and mated with the sixth wheel (536). Therefore, the pivotal wheel (56) rotates relative to the second wheel (532) in a different direction and the upper driving wheel (431) rotates relative to the lower driving wheel (441) in a different direction. Hence, the upper wheel (43) rotates relative to the lower wheel (44) in a different direction so that the lower end of the upper wheel (43) rotates relative to the upper end of the lower wheel (44) in a same direction. Meanwhile, the needle (41) is driven to detach from the spool (60) so that the spool (60) is moved opposite to the cutout (321) and finish the process of wire winding automatically.
