[0043] When the first hopper 3100 is in the non-empty state, the pushing driving member 312 drives the carrying part 314 to move to the position directly below the discharge port of the first hopper 3100 to receive the shortest corner on the bottom layer in the first hopper 3100 each time, and to send the received short corner to the taking position,

[0044] When the first hopper 3100 is in the empty state, the pushing driving member 312 drives the carrying part 314 to move to the position directly below the discharge port of the second hopper 3101 to receive the shortest corner on the bottom layer in the second hopper 3101 each time, and to send the received short corner to the taking position.

[0045] It should be noted that the cross section of the short corner is "∟" type, the taking position is the taking position of the short corner, and the taking device automatically places the short corner at the taking position in the corresponding corner of the material after picking up the short corner.

[0046] It can be seen that by arranging the hopper assembly to comprise the double-hopper structure of the first hopper 3100 and the second hopper 3101, the storage amount of the short corners of the strapping machine is doubled, frequent shutdown for replenishment is avoided, and the strapping efficiency of the strapping machine is improved; at the same time, the pushing mechanism can automatically feed the short corners in the first hopper 3100 and the second hopper 3101 respectively, the feeding efficiency is improved, the overall structure is compact, and the occupied space is small.

[0048] Specifically, the sliding piece 3131 is reciprocatingly installed on the base 3130 in the short angle feeding direction through a sliding pair composed of a linear guide rail and a sliding block.

[0049] It can be seen that through cooperation of the pushing driving piece 312, the sliding piece 3131 and the pushing piece 3132, the short angles in the first bin 3100 and the second bin 3101 are automatically pushed to the taking position, and the pushing piece 3132 can only push one short angle at a time, and the first limiting piece 3133 is used for limiting when the short angle in the first bin 3100 is fed, so as to avoid taking out the short angle in the second bin 3101.

[0054] It can be seen that the connecting piece 3135 is arranged to support the second hopper 3101, and also to limit the short angle at the discharge port of the second hopper 3101, so that the short angle in the second hopper 3101 abuts against the inner wall; by arranging a plurality of adjusting grooves 3136 on the connecting piece 3135, the installation position of the second limiting piece 3134 on the connecting piece 3135 is adjusted to realize the adjustment of the connecting piece 3135 in the short angle feeding direction, so that the connecting piece 3135 can limit the short angles of different sizes in the second hopper 3101, and the compatibility is improved.

[0057] The specific working principle of the feeding mechanism 30 proposed in the embodiment is as follows:

[0058] When the first bin 3100 is in a non-empty state (i.e., there are short guard angles in the first bin 3100), the pushing mechanism 313 feeds the short guard angles in the first bin 3100, the first sensing assembly controls the pushing driving member 312 to move the bearing part 314 to be directly below the discharge port of the first bin 3100, at this time, the bottom layer of short guard angles in the first bin 3100 falls to the bearing surface 3140 by gravity, and the bottom layer of short guard angles in the second bin 3101 falls to the pushing member 3132 by gravity, the pushing driving member 312 drives the sliding member 3131 to move to move the short guard angles on the bearing surface 3140 to the taking position, and the process is repeated until the first bin 3100 is in an empty state (i.e., there are no short guard angles in the first bin 3100), and it should be noted that in the process of moving the short guard angles on the bearing surface 3140 to the taking position, the first limiting member 3133 limits the movement of the bottom layer of short guard angles in the second bin 3101 following the sliding member 3131.

[0059] When the first bin 3100 is in an empty state, the pushing mechanism 313 switches to feed the short guard angles in the second bin 3101, the second sensing assembly controls the pushing driving member 312 to move the bearing part 314 to be directly below the discharge port of the second bin 3101, the bottom layer of short guard angles in the second bin 3101 falls to the bearing surface 3140 by gravity, and the pushing driving member 312 drives the sliding member 3131 to move to move the short guard angles on the bearing surface 3140 to the taking position, and the process is repeated until the second bin 3101 is in an empty state.

[0060] The first bin 3100 and the second bin 3101 are manually replenished, and after replenishment, the feeding mechanism 30 is repeatedly fed.

[0061] As an implementation, the first hopper 3100 is provided with a replenishment channel on the side close to the second hopper 3101 in the second direction, the first side of the second hopper 3101 in the first direction is hinged to one side of the replenishment channel of the first hopper 3100, the second side of the second hopper 3101 in the first direction is detachably arranged on the other side of the replenishment channel of the first hopper 3100 through the first locking assembly 33, when the first locking assembly 33 is unlocked, the first side of the second hopper 3101 rotates around the first hopper 3100 to open the replenishment channel of the first hopper 3100 for replenishment of the first hopper 3100; when the first locking assembly 33 is locked, the second hopper 3101 closes the replenishment channel of the first hopper 3100 on the side close to the first hopper 3100 in the second direction, and the closing piece 34 is detachably arranged on the replenishment channel of the second hopper 3101.

[0062] It should be noted that, due to installation requirements, the side of the first hopper 3100 close to the operator in the first direction is used as a mounting surface, and the other side of the first hopper 3100 close to the material in the first direction, so neither side of the first hopper 3100 in the first direction is suitable as a replenishment port. The side of the first hopper 3100 away from the second hopper 3101 in the second direction is arranged close to the lifting piece 23 and used as a mounting surface, so the side of the first hopper 3100 close to the second hopper 3101 in the second direction is used as a replenishment port.

[0063] Specifically, one side of the closing piece 34 is hinged to one side of the replenishment channel of the second hopper 3101 through a hinge, and the other side of the closing piece 34 is detachably arranged on the other side of the replenishment channel of the second hopper 3101 through the second locking assembly 35, when the second locking assembly 35 is unlocked, the one side of the closing piece 34 rotates around the second hopper 3101 to open the replenishment channel of the second hopper 3101 for replenishment of the second hopper 3101, and when the second locking assembly 35 is locked, the closing piece 34 closes the replenishment channel of the second hopper 3101.

[0064] It can be seen that, by arranging the first hopper 3100 and the second hopper 3101, the amount of corner protector stored in the strapping machine is doubled, frequent downtime for replenishment is avoided, and the strapping efficiency of the strapping machine is improved, and by hinging the first hopper 3100 and the second hopper 3101, the first hopper 3100 is provided with a replenishment channel on the side close to the second hopper 3101 in the second direction, and the second hopper 3101 closes the replenishment channel of the first hopper 3100 on the side close to the first hopper 3100 in the second direction. Not only can the installation requirements of the hopper assembly be met, but also the structure is simple, the design is ingenious, replenishment is convenient, and costs are saved.

[0065] The specific working principle of the above-mentioned short corner protector automatic feeding and strapping integrated machine is as follows:

[0066] The conveying line automatically conveys the material to the bundling position,

[0067] The lifting driving assembly 24 drives the lifting piece 23 to descend to a preset height, so that the two sets of feeding mechanisms 30 descend to a suitable height,

[0068] The feeding assembly 31 of the two sets of feeding mechanisms 30 works, and automatically feeds the two short corner guards to the material taking position respectively,

[0069] The feeding assembly 32 works, picks up the short corner guard at the material taking position, rotates 45° to turn the short corner guard to a horizontal state, and then moves the picked short corner guard to the edge corner of the material to release, so that the short corner guard is automatically placed on the corresponding edge corner of the material,

[0070] The bundling mechanism 20 works to vertically bundle the material at the position where the short corner guard is arranged on the material.

[0071] The above examples only illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present application, and the present application is not limited by the above examples. Various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and modifications all fall within the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
