Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of strapping equipment, and in particular to a strapping protection structure and strapping device. Background Technology

[0002] For some products made of soft and brittle materials, the strapping machine may cause damage to the products due to excessive strapping force when strapping and packaging them, thus affecting the product quality.

[0003] Currently, there are also some strapping devices that can adjust the strapping tension, which can adjust the strapping tension according to the different materials of the products to be strapped, so as to reduce the possibility of product damage during the strapping process.

[0004] However, on the one hand, for products such as foam boards that are soft and brittle, even if the binding tension is adjusted to the minimum, they may still break. On the other hand, such equipment is relatively expensive, and the cost of replacing a regular strapping machine with a strapping machine that can adjust the binding tension is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a bundling protection structure and bundling device that can protect the products to be bundled and prevent product damage during the bundling process, in order to address the problem that excessive bundling force may cause product damage during the current bundling process.

[0006] This application first provides a bundling protection structure, including a bracket and four sets of protective components arranged in a quadrilateral along the YOZ plane, wherein the bracket is used to support the product to be bundled;

[0007] Each of the protective components includes a protective rod, a wire-removing drive, and a wire-removing plate. The wire-removing drive is disposed on the bracket, and the protective rod is fixed to the wire-removing drive. The protective rod is arranged along the X-axis and each protective rod corresponds to a ridge line of the product to be bundled. The wire-removing drive can drive the wire-removing plate to move relative to the protective rod along the X-axis.

[0008] In one embodiment, the two sets of the protective components located on the upper side are movably disposed on the bracket along the Z-axis direction.

[0009] In one embodiment, the product to be bundled includes multiple product plates stacked along the Z-axis direction; the bundling protection structure further includes a stacking and pressing assembly disposed on the upper side of the product to be bundled, the stacking and pressing assembly includes a stacking drive and a stacking pressure plate, the stacking drive is fixed to the bracket and can drive the stacking pressure plate to press the product to be bundled along the Z-axis direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, a follower pressure rod is fixed on the stacking pressure plate. The follower pressure rod can abut against the two sets of protection components on the upper side along the Z-axis and drive the protection components to move along the Z-axis. When the follower pressure rod abuts against the two sets of protection components on the upper side, the bottom end of the protection rod in the protection component is flush with the bottom end of the stacking pressure plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, two connecting plates are fixed on the bracket. The two sets of protective components on the lower side are respectively fixed to one of the connecting plates. Each connecting plate is also fixed with a guide post along the Z-axis. The two sets of protective components on the upper side are slidably connected to the guide post on one of the connecting plates. An elastic element is also sleeved on the guide post. One end of the elastic element abuts against the connecting plate, and the other end abuts against the upper protective component.

[0012] In one embodiment, each of the connecting plates is fixed with two guide posts arranged along the X-axis and parallel to each other, and the derailment drive member in the upper protection assembly is fixed with a sliding plate corresponding to the connecting plate along the Z-axis, and each sliding plate is slidably connected to the two guide posts on the corresponding connecting plate.

[0013] In one embodiment, the bundling protection structure further includes a material handling component disposed on one side of the product to be bundled along the X-axis direction. The material handling component includes a material handling drive and a material handling pressure plate. The material handling drive is fixed to the bracket and can drive the material handling pressure plate to squeeze the product to be bundled along the X-axis direction.

[0014] In one embodiment, the bundling protection structure further includes a feeding assembly disposed at the bottom of the product to be bundled along the Z-axis direction. The feeding assembly includes a feeding drive and a plurality of feeding rollers disposed along the X-axis direction. The central axis of the feeding rollers is parallel to the Y-axis direction, and the feeding rollers are drive-connected to the feeding drive.

[0015] In one embodiment, the decoupling drive is a telescopic cylinder capable of extending and retracting along the X-axis, and the decoupling plate includes a decoupling surface parallel to the YOZ plane.

[0016] A second aspect of this application provides a strapping device, including a strapping machine and the aforementioned strapping protection structure. The strapping machine is disposed on the support and is capable of circumferentially strapping the product to be strapped along the YOZ plane. The strapping position of the strapping machine corresponds to the protective rod along the X direction.

[0017] The aforementioned bundling and protection structure, by first bundling the strapping tape to the protective rod and then pushing the strapping tape off the protective rod to complete the bundling of the product, can avoid the possibility of damaging the product to be bundled due to excessive tension during the bundling process of the bundling machine, thereby effectively improving the product bundling quality.

[0028] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, this application first provides a bundling protection structure, including a bracket 10 and four sets of protection components 20 arranged in a quadrilateral along the YOZ plane. The bracket 10 is used to support the product 1 to be bundled. Each protection component 20 includes a protection rod 21, a wire release drive 22, and a wire release plate 23. The wire release drive 22 is disposed on the bracket 10, and the protection rod 21 is fixed to the wire release drive 22. The protection rod 21 is arranged along the X-axis direction, and each protection rod 21 corresponds to a ridge line of the product 1 to be bundled. The wire release drive 22 can drive the wire release plate 23 to move relative to the protection rod 21 along the X-axis direction.

[0029] In this application, by setting four protective rods 21 corresponding to the edges of the product 1 to be bundled, the bundling machine first bundles the strapping tape onto the four protective rods 21 during the actual bundling process. After the bundling is completed, the unwinding drive 22 drives the unwinding plate 23 to move along the X-axis direction to push the strapping tape off the protective rods 21 and complete the bundling of the product 1 to be bundled. This can avoid the possibility of damaging the product 1 to be bundled due to excessive tension during the bundling process, thereby effectively improving the bundling quality of the product.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the strapping protection structure of this application is relatively independent of the strapping machine. The strapping protection structure of this application can be added to the traditional strapping machine to prevent product damage during the strapping process. Compared with replacing the strapping equipment with adjustable strapping tension, the cost of adding the strapping protection structure of this application is relatively low.

[0031] Specifically, each of the above-mentioned protective rods 21 corresponds to a ridge line of the product 1 to be bundled. The bottom ends of the two upper protective rods 21 are flush with the upper surface of the product 1 to be bundled along the Z-axis, the top ends of the two lower protective rods 21 are flush with the lower surface of the product 1 to be bundled along the Z-axis, the rightmost ends of the two left protective rods 21 are flush with the left surface of the product 1 to be bundled along the Y-axis, and the leftmost ends of the two right protective rods 21 are flush with the right surface of the product 1 to be bundled along the Y-axis.

[0032] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the product 1 to be bundled in the above embodiment is a stacked foam board. If the product 1 to be bundled is of other shapes, different numbers and positions of protective components 20 can be set according to the specific shape of the product 1 to be bundled. Specifically, according to the cross-section of the product 1 to be bundled along the YOZ plane, protective components 20 can be set at each corner position of the cross-section, and the protective rod 21 of each protective component 20 can be aligned with the edge line of the corner to ensure that the bundling tape will not damage the product 1 to be bundled during the bundling process.

[0033] Please combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the two sets of protective components 20 located on the upper side are movably disposed on the bracket 10 along the Z-axis direction.

[0034] Depending on the thickness of the product 1 to be bundled, the two sets of protective components 20 located on the upper side are adjusted along the Z-axis to align with the edge line of the product 1 to be bundled, thereby completing the bundling protection of products 1 of different thicknesses and effectively improving the versatility of the bundling protection structure of this application.

[0035] Of course, in some other embodiments, the two sets of protective components 20 located on the lower side can be movably disposed on the bracket 10 along the Z-axis direction, as long as they can meet the protection requirements of products 1 to be bundled of different thicknesses.

[0036] In addition, in some other embodiments, if the widths of different products 1 to be bundled differ along the Y-axis, two sets of protective components 20 on either side of the Y-axis can be movably mounted on the bracket 10 along the Y-axis to meet the bundling protection requirements of products 1 with different widths.

[0037] Please combine Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the product to be bundled 1 includes multiple product plates stacked along the Z-axis direction; the bundling protection structure also includes a stacking and pressing assembly 30 disposed on the upper side of the product to be bundled 1. The stacking and pressing assembly 30 includes a stacking drive 31 and a stacking pressure plate 32. The stacking drive 31 is fixed to the bracket 10 and can drive the stacking pressure plate 32 to press the product to be bundled 1 along the Z-axis direction.

[0038] The stacking drive 31 drives the stacking plate 32 along the Z-axis to compact the product sheet to ensure that the subsequent binding is secure. After compaction, the two sets of upper protective components 20 are adjusted along the Z-axis so that the protective rod 21 is aligned with the two upper edges of the product 1 to be bound.

[0039] Specifically, the product 1 to be bundled is first compacted by the stacking and pressing component 30. After the two upper protective components 20 are adjusted to the appropriate positions, the bundling machine works to bundle the strapping tape onto the protective rod. After the bundling is completed, the unwinding drive component 22 and the unwinding plate 23 push the strapping tape off the protective rod 21. At this time, the strapping tape is placed on the compacted product 1 to be bundled. After the stacking and pressing component 30 is reset, the product 1 to be bundled rebounds under its own elasticity, so that the strapping tape is firmly bundled onto the product 1 to be bundled.

[0040] Please combine Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a follower pressure rod 33 is fixed on the stacking pressure plate 32. The follower pressure rod 33 can abut against the two sets of protection components 20 on the upper side along the Z-axis direction and drive the protection components 20 to move along the Z-axis direction. When the follower pressure rod 33 abuts against the two sets of protection components 20 on the upper side, the bottom end of the protection rod 21 in the protection component 20 is flush with the bottom end of the stacking pressure plate 32.

[0041] The following pressure bar 33 enables the stacking and extrusion assembly 30 to synchronously adjust the two sets of protection assemblies 20 on the upper side to the appropriate position when the product sheet is compacted, effectively reducing the operational difficulty of the binding protection structure of this application.

[0042] Please combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, two connecting plates 11 are fixed on the bracket 10, and two sets of protective components 20 located on the lower side are respectively fixed to one connecting plate 11. Each connecting plate 11 is also fixed with a guide post 12 along the Z-axis direction. The two sets of protective components 20 located on the upper side are slidably connected to the guide post 12 on one connecting plate 11. An elastic element 13 is also sleeved on the guide post 12. One end of the elastic element 13 abuts against the connecting plate 11, and the other end abuts against the upper protective component 20.

[0043] The guide post 12 can play a guiding role to increase the sliding stability of the two sets of protection components 20 on the upper side, while the elastic element 13 can drive the two sets of protection components 20 on the upper side to reset after the stacking pressure plate 32 moves up and resets. On the one hand, it is convenient to bundle other products in the future, and on the other hand, it avoids collision and interference with the protection rod 21 when the product 1 to be bundled springs back.

[0044] Please combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, each connecting plate 11 is fixed with two guide posts 12 arranged along the X-axis and parallel to each other, and the derailment drive member 22 in the upper protection assembly 20 is fixed with a sliding plate 14 corresponding to the connecting plate 11 along the Z-axis. Each sliding plate 14 is slidably connected to the two guide posts 12 on the corresponding connecting plate 11; the two guide posts 12 further increase the sliding stability.

[0045] In some embodiments, the follower pressure rod 33 abuts against the sliding plate 14, and the contact position between the two is located between the two guide posts 12, so as to increase the force stability of the protection component 20 and improve the sliding stability during the adjustment process.

[0046] Please combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bundling protection structure further includes a material handling component 40 disposed on one side of the product 1 to be bundled along the X-axis direction. The material handling component 40 includes a material handling drive 41 and a material handling pressure plate 42. The material handling drive 41 is fixed to the bracket 10 and can drive the material handling pressure plate 42 to squeeze the product 1 to be bundled along the X-axis direction.

[0047] The material handling component 40 serves to organize and position the product 1 to be bundled, and the material handling component 40 can also squeeze the product 1 to be bundled along the Y-axis direction. Its specific working principle is the same as that of the stacking and extrusion component 30, and this application does not make any further limitations here.

[0048] Please combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bundling protection structure further includes a feeding assembly 50 disposed at the bottom of the product 1 to be bundled along the Z-axis direction. The feeding assembly 50 includes a feeding drive 51 and a plurality of feeding rollers 52 disposed along the X-axis direction. The central axis of the feeding rollers 52 is parallel to the Y-axis direction and the feeding rollers 52 are connected to the feeding drive 51 in a transmission manner.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the wire-removing drive 22 is a telescopic cylinder capable of extending and retracting along the X-axis direction, and the wire-removing plate 23 includes a wire-removing surface 231 parallel to the YOZ plane, which is used to abut against the cable tie and push it off the protective rod 21.

[0050] The second aspect of this application provides a strapping device, including a strapping machine and the aforementioned strapping protection structure. The strapping machine is mounted on a support 10 and is capable of circumferentially strapping the product to be strapped along the YOZ plane. The strapping position of the strapping machine corresponds to the protective rod 21 along the X direction.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
