The number of cutter blades is not limited in the present application, and can be reasonably set and selected according to actual needs, as long as the material 40 can be cut into at least one first part 401 and second part 402 by the cutter blade.

[0057] In some possible implementations, referring to Figure 5 , the cutter device 202 further comprises a pressing block 2023. The pressing block 2023 is threadedly connected to the end of the first telescopic rod 2111 away from the first cutter driving part 2011, i.e. the first cutter driving part 2011 can drive the pressing block 2023 to move up and down in the first direction (as indicated by the X direction in Figure 5 , when the material 40 is located in the cutting station, referring to Figure 2 , in combination with Figure 6 , the pressing block 2023 and the supporting block 102 respectively fix the material 40 from the upper and lower sides of the first direction, which is used to limit the movement of the material 40 relative to the cutter device 202, preventing the material 40 from not accurately entering the cutting cavity 2221 during the cutting process, affecting the cutting effect.

[0058] In some possible implementations, referring to Figure 2 , the cutter assembly 20 further comprises a driving seat frame 203. The driving seat frame 203 is fixedly arranged on the machine body, and the cutter driving part 201 is fixedly arranged above the first direction (as indicated by the X direction in Figure 2 ) of the bearing part 10 through the driving seat frame 203.

[0059] In some possible implementations, referring to Figure 1 , the twisting machine 1 further comprises a control part 50. The control part 50 is electrically connected with at least one twisting assembly 30, and controls the clamping device 302 to rotate the at least one first part 401 relative to the second part 402 by a set angle in the second direction (as indicated by the C direction in Figure 7 ). For example, the control part 50 can control the angle and speed of the clamping device 302 rotating in the second direction during operation, and can also control the start and stop of the twisting machine.

[0060] The at least one twisting assembly 30 comprises a twisting driving part 301 and a clamping device 302. Referring to Figure 7 , the twisting driving part 301 can drive the clamping device 302 to move towards or away from the material 40 in the radial direction (as indicated by the Y direction in Figure 7 ) of the material 40 carried by the bearing part.

[0061] In some possible embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 7 , the clamping device 302 comprises a clamping driving part 3021 and a clamping part 3022. Exemplarily, the clamping driving part 3021 is a servo motor, which is used to improve the operation accuracy of the clamping part 3022. The clamping driving part 3021 is used to drive the clamping part 3022 to clamp a first part 401 and rotate by a set angle.

[0062] The clamping part 3022 comprises a clamping body 3122 and a clamping unit 3222. The clamping unit 3222 is movably connected with the clamping body 3122, and the clamping body 3122 is rotatably connected with the clamping driving part 3021. The clamping driving part 3021 can drive the clamping body 3122 to rotate in a second direction (as indicated by the C direction in FIG. 30), and the clamping unit 3222 clamps a first part 401. The clamping unit 3222 can rotate in the second direction (as indicated by the C direction in FIG. 30) along with the rotation of the clamping body 3122, so as to rotate the clamped first part 401 by a set angle. Figure 7 Figure 7 The clamping unit 3222 can rotate in the second direction (as indicated by the C direction in FIG. 30) along with the rotation of the clamping body 3122, so as to rotate the clamped first part 401 by a set angle.

[0063] The set angle of the clamping unit 3222 of the present application for rotating the first part 401 is 90 degrees to 120 degrees. The specific value is different due to the influence of the difficulty of forming the material 40. When the material 40 is relatively easy to form, the set angle can be appropriately reduced. When the material 40 is relatively difficult to form, the set angle should be appropriately increased to prevent the first part 401 of the material 40 from being insufficiently turned over.

[0064] In some possible embodiments, referring to Figure 8 , the clamping unit 3222 comprises a first clamping piece 3223 and a second clamping piece 3224. In the radial direction of the bearing part (as indicated by the Y direction in FIG. 30), referring to Figure 7 and combining Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first clamping piece 3223 and the second clamping piece 3224 are oppositely arranged on the side of the clamping unit 3222 away from the clamping driving part 3021. The clamping driving part 3021 can drive the first clamping piece 3223 and the second clamping piece 3224 to move towards each other, so as to clamp the first part 401 of the material. Exemplarily, the clamping unit 3222 is a mechanical finger. Under the drive of the clamping driving part 3021, the two mechanical fingers of the clamping unit 3222 can be clamped to each other; but it is not limited thereto, and can also be other structures, such as the clamping unit 3222 comprising mutually parallel clamping pieces. Under the drive of the clamping driving part 3021, the distance between the mutually parallel clamping pieces gradually decreases, so as to clamp the material located between the mutually parallel clamping pieces.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, the twisting machine 1 further comprises at least two lining plate assemblies 60. Referring to Figure 4 ​Each liner assembly 60 includes a liner unit 601 and a liner drive unit 602. At least two liner assemblies are arranged radially along the support portion 10 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown in the Y direction) Symmetrically arranged, each liner assembly 60 has a liner unit 601 fixedly connected to a liner drive unit 602. The liner drive unit 602 can drive the liner unit 601 to move radially, so that the liner units 601 of at least two liner assemblies 60 and the support block 102 of the support part 10 together form a shaped liner for carrying material 40. Exemplarily, the liner units 601 of at least two liner assemblies 60 are all fan-shaped annular. If the number of liner assemblies 60 is N, then each liner unit 601 is a 360 / N-degree fan-shaped annular. When the support block 102 of the support part 10 carries material 40 and moves to the cutting station, the liner units 601 move towards each other radially along the support part 10, forming a circular shaped liner together with the support block 102.

[0066] It should be noted that the reference Figure 2 The carrying drive unit 101 of the carrying unit 10 is located inside the machine body. When the carrying unit 10 carries the material 40, the carrying drive unit 101 drives the support block 102 to lift the material 40 from the conveying unit 31 a set distance h1 to the cutting station. The twisting machine 1 of this application is not limited to the aforementioned structure, and the cutting station can also be set on the carrying unit 10, that is, the carrying unit 10 does not need to be along the first direction (such as...). Figure 2 (As shown in the X direction) It moves up and down, using the bearing part 10 as a forming liner to cut the material 40.

[0067] This application does not limit the specific structure of the bearing part 10 and the liner assembly 60. They can be reasonably set and selected according to actual needs, as long as the material 40 can be cut.

[0068] This application does not limit the specific structure and quantity of the first part 401 and the second part 402 of the material 40, the cutting blade 2022 and the twisting assembly 30. They can be reasonably set and selected according to actual needs, as long as the twisting of the material 40 can be achieved.

[0069] In some possible implementations, refer to Figures 1 to 8 and combined Figure 9 As shown, a twisting system of the present invention includes a twisting machine 1 and a machine body 2, wherein the twisting machine 1 is disposed on the machine body 2. The machine body 2 includes a support leg 21, a frame 22, a panel 23, and rods 24. The support leg 21 is disposed on the ground-touching portion of the machine body 60, and the frame 22 is supported and fixed by the panel 23 and rods 24.

[0070] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 9, the twisting system further comprises a conveying part 31 and a shaping assembly 70. The conveying part 31 is arranged on the machine body 2 and is used to convey the material 40 of the previous process to the twisting machine 1. Along the conveying direction (as shown in the Z direction in Figure 9 FIG. 3) of the conveying part 31, the shaping assembly 70 is arranged on the machine body 2 downstream of the twisting machine 1, and the shaping assembly 70 is used to shape the material 40 after cutting and turning. Referring to Figure 10 , the shaping assembly 70 comprises at least two transverse shaping devices 701 and a pressing device 702. The at least two transverse shaping devices 701 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction (as shown in the B direction in Figure 10 FIG. 3) around the pressing device 702. Referring to Figure 9 , the pressing device 702 is arranged above the conveying part 31 in the first direction (as shown in the X direction in Figure 9 FIG. 3). Exemplarily, continuing to refer to Figure 10 , the at least two transverse shaping devices 701 comprise four.

[0071] The specific structure of the shaping assembly is not limited in the present application, and can be reasonably arranged and selected according to actual needs, as long as the shaping of the material 40 can be realized.

[0072] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 11 , the conveying part 31 is composed of a first conveying part 311 and a second conveying part 312, and the carrying part 10 is located at one end of the first conveying part 311 close to the second conveying part 312. The conveying belt of the first conveying part 311 is divided into two in the third direction (as shown in the E direction in Figure 11 FIG. 3), and a gap 3110 is arranged between the two conveying belts, and the carrying part 10 is located in the gap 3110. Through the above design, when the material 40 is conveyed to the supporting block 102 of the carrying part 10, the carrying driving part 101 can move the supporting block 102 carrying the material 40 from the gap 3110 upward to the cutting station in the first direction (as shown in the X direction in Figure 11 FIG. 3), so as to avoid the supporting block 102 being blocked by the conveying belt of the first conveying part 311.

[0073] In some possible embodiments, the twisting system further comprises a first sensor 321 and a second sensor 322. Continuing to refer to Figure 11 , along the conveying direction (as shown in the Z direction in Figure 11 FIG. 3) of the conveying part 31, the first sensor 321 is arranged at a distance h2 upstream of the carrying part 10, and the second sensor 322 is arranged at a distance h2 upstream of the shaping assembly 70. The first sensor 321 is used to detect whether there is material 40 at a distance h2 upstream of the carrying part 10, and if there is, the carrying driving part 101 drives the supporting block 102 to move the material 40 in the first direction (as shown in the X direction in Figure 11(As shown in the X direction) Lift upwards. The second sensor 322 is used to detect whether there is material 40 at a set distance h2 upstream of the shaping component 70. If there is, the shaping component 70 performs shaping.

[0074] In some possible implementations, refer to Figures 1 to 10 and combined Figure 11 As shown, one twisting method of the present invention is as follows:

[0075] Conveying section 31 along the conveying direction (e.g.) Figure 11 Material 40 is conveyed to the bearing unit 10 in the Z direction (as shown in the middle Z direction), and the bearing drive unit 101 drives the support block 102 along the first direction (as shown in the middle Z direction). Figure 11 (As shown in the X direction) moves upward to position the material 40 at the cutting station. Then, the liner units 601 of at least two liner assemblies 60 are driven by the liner drive unit 602 along the radial direction of the support portion 10 (as shown in the X direction) to... Figure 7 (As shown in the Y direction) They move towards each other to form a molded liner together with the support block 102 of the support part 10 to support the material 40.

[0076] Then, the cutting device 202, driven by the cutting drive unit 201, moves along the first direction (e.g., Figure 2 The material 40 moves downwards (as shown in the X direction) to cut the material 40 into at least one first part 401 and a second part 402. The second cutter drive unit 2012 drives the outer mold 2021 and at least two cutting blades 2022 along the first direction ... move downwards, so that the material 40 is cut into at least one first part 401 and a second part 402. Figure 2 (As shown in the X direction) moves upward, and the liner unit 601 moves radially (as shown in the X direction) along the bearing portion 10 under the drive of the liner drive unit 602. Figure 4 (As shown in the Y direction) it moves outward to provide working space for the twisted assembly 30. The clamping device 302, driven by the twisted drive unit 301, moves radially (as shown in the Y direction) along the support portion 10. Figure 4 (As shown in the Y direction) move towards each other to clamp the first part 401 and rotate it by a set angle.

[0077] After the twisting is completed, the clamping device 302, driven by the twisting drive unit 301, moves along the radial direction of the support unit 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The first cutter drive unit 2011 drives the pressure block 2023 to move outward along the first direction (as shown in the Y direction). Figure 2 (As shown in the X direction) moves upward, and the supporting drive unit 101 drives the support block 102 along the first direction (as shown in the X direction). Figure 11 The material 40 moves downwards (as shown in the X direction) to return to the conveying section 31, where it is carried and conveyed to the shaping assembly 70. After being shaped by the shaping assembly 70, the material 40 is conveyed to the next process via the conveying section 31, which may be a tray-laying machine, for example.

[0078] While the application has been illustrated and described in connection with certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and detail can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. It is intended to encompass all such changes and alterations in the details thereof.
