Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable tie machines, and in particular to a cable tie feeding mechanism and a cable tie machine. Background Art

[0002] For wires used for connecting wires, such as connectors, etc., they are often long connecting wires with connectors. Figure 1 As shown, the conventional connector 200 includes a connector 201 and a connecting wire 202 extending from the connector 201 .

[0003] The connecting wires of the connector are easily tangled, which makes it inconvenient to store and transport directly. In order to facilitate storage and transportation, the connector is often coiled into a circle by a cable tie machine, and then tied tightly with a cable tie to facilitate transportation. Figure 2 As shown, the existing cable tie 100 includes a locking head 101 with a self-locking through hole and a locking bar 102 connected to the locking head. Engaging teeth capable of self-locking engagement are formed on the side surface of the locking bar 102 and in the self-locking through hole.

[0004] During the cable-tying process, the cable-tying gun of a cable-tying machine needs to be continuously fed with cable ties so that it can continuously process the wrapped connectors. In some scenarios, the cable-tying gun needs to be adjusted to extend vertically based on the cable-tying needs. This requires the cable-tying feeder to be able to provide cable ties extending in a non-horizontal direction (e.g., vertically). Existing cable-tying feeders are unable to continuously feed the cable-tying gun with cable ties extending in a non-horizontal direction, one by one.
