Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a cable tie conveying method. Background Art

[0002] Waterproof membranes are generally cylindrical in shape. When leaving the factory, they need to be transferred to trucks. Generally, multiple waterproof membranes are placed vertically on a pallet first, and then the waterproof membranes on the pallet are bundled together with cable ties. The bundled waterproof membranes are then transferred to the truck along with the pallet.

[0003] However, since cable ties are mostly long and thin, if multiple cable ties are stacked together, they are easily entangled and mixed, making it difficult to take out the cable ties one by one. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the defects of the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention is to design a cable tie conveying method, which adopts a cable tie supply system to convey the cable tie;

[0005] The cable tie supply system includes a horizontal conveyor belt for conveying cable ties, the conveyor belt is arranged in a left-right direction, and the conveyor belt conveys the cable ties to the right; side plates are respectively provided on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the side plates extend in the same direction as the conveyor belt, and the side plates on both sides of the conveyor belt form a storage trough for stacking and storing the cable ties;

[0006] A vertical baffle is provided at the right end of the conveyor belt, the baffle is located directly above the conveyor belt, and the baffle is located in the material storage trough; the distance between the baffle and the conveyor belt is greater than the thickness of a single cable tie, and the distance between the baffle and the conveyor belt is less than the thickness of two cable ties, and a discharge port is formed between the baffle and the conveyor belt that is only suitable for a single cable tie to pass through;

[0007] The right end of the conveyor belt is also provided with a carrier for mounting a cable tie, the carrier is located on the right side of the baffle and above the conveyor belt; the end of the carrier facing the conveyor belt is provided with: an electromagnet for magnetically attracting the iron wire on the cable tie;

[0008] The carrier is equipped with a slide rail for guiding its movement. The carrier is supported by the slide rail, and the carrier and the slide rail are in sliding cooperation. The slide rail is arranged in the left and right directions, and the left end of the slide rail is connected to the baffle.

[0009] The cable tie delivery method comprises the following steps:

[0010] When cable ties need to be stored, the conveyor belt is stopped, and multiple cable ties are placed in the storage trough in sequence, so that the multiple cable ties are stacked flat on the conveyor belt. The length direction of each cable tie is arranged in the left-right direction, and each cable tie is located on the left side of the baffle; the thickness of each cable tie is the same; the width of each cable tie is the same; and a wire is built into the right end of each cable tie;

[0011] After the cable ties are stored, the conveyor belt is turned on and the stacked cable ties are conveyed to the right. When the stacked cable ties on the conveyor belt reach the baffle, since the distance between the baffle and the conveyor belt is greater than the thickness of a single cable ties, and the distance between the baffle and the conveyor belt is less than the thickness of two cable ties, only the lowest layer of the stacked cable ties can pass through the discharge port at a time, and the discharge port outputs the lowest layer of cable ties one by one.

[0012] When the conveyor belt is just turned on, the carrier moves to the left end of the slide rail. After the right end of the bottom layer of cable ties is conveyed out of the discharge port, the electromagnet on the carrier sucks up the right end of the cable tie with wire. Then the carrier moves right along the slide rail and transfers the cable tie to the subsequent workstation. The electromagnet on the carrier is powered off and puts the cable tie down. Then the carrier quickly moves back to the left end of the slide rail to absorb and transfer the next cable tie. This process repeats until all the cable ties stored on the conveyor belt have been transferred.

[0013] Preferably, the conveyor belt is equipped with a drive motor for driving the conveyor belt.

[0014] Preferably, the width of the material storage trough is equal to the width of the cable tie.

[0015] Preferably, the slide rail is arranged along the left and right directions, and the left end of the slide rail is connected to the baffle.

[0016] Preferably, the carrier is further provided with a driving device for driving it to move along the slide rail.

[0017] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are: providing a cable tie conveying method, adopting a cable tie supply system to convey cable ties, being able to store a plurality of cable ties, and being able to output and transfer the cable ties one by one, making it convenient to take the cable ties. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
