Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic detonator technology, and in particular to an automated production line and method for electronic detonators. Background Technology

[0002] Blasting, as a widely used science and technology in the modern engineering field, plays a vital role and occupies an important position in engineering applications of all sizes. The essence of blasting is to use the huge energy released by the explosion of detonators and explosives to achieve the purpose of effectively destroying the original structure of objects, greatly saving time and improving economic efficiency. After years of development, many varieties of industrial detonators have emerged. Among them, electronic detonators are products of introducing electronic information technology on the basis of traditional industrial detonators. They are generally composed of lead wires, detonator bodies, and electronic components. Because they use electronic chips to control the detonator's initiation process, replacing the delay agent of ordinary delay detonators, they can greatly reduce the delay error caused by the ignition energy required by the electric ignition structure, thereby achieving high-precision delay setting.

[0003] Patent document CN220701991U discloses an electronic detonator packaging structure and kit for packaging an electronic detonator body comprising a tail clamp, a conductive wire, and a detonator. The conductive wire is wound into a coil. The packaging structure includes: a wire receiving portion for housing the coil; a third receiving cavity and a fourth receiving cavity, spaced apart along the length and located inside the coil; the third receiving cavity for housing the conductive wire or detonator near the detonator, and the fourth receiving cavity for housing the conductive wire or tail clamp near the tail clamp, thus providing a fixed and protective function by spaced the detonator and tail clamp apart. This addresses the safety issue in existing technologies where the detonator and tail clamp are prone to collisions and impacts during transportation, leading to damage or performance failure of the electronic digital detonator.

[0004] However, in the actual production and transportation process, the inventors discovered the following problems in the production of existing electronic detonators: the lead wire needs to be wound into a bundle or coil, and the two ends of the lead wire are connected to the detonator body and the wire clamp respectively. After the electronic detonator is produced, it is packaged. In some of the above steps, manual assistance is required, resulting in low automation. In addition, the winding structure of the lead wire is unreasonable, which not only occupies a lot of space and increases the difficulty of packaging electronic detonators into boxes, but also reduces the number of electronic detonators that can be accommodated in the box. Furthermore, during transportation, the electronic detonators in the box are prone to misalignment and movement, and the detonator body and wire clamp are prone to collision damage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by implementing a fully automated production process through a conveying mechanism in conjunction with a winding mechanism, an assembly mechanism, a packaging mechanism, and a boxing mechanism. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and significantly improves production efficiency. During production, the lead wire, wrapped around the detonator body and wire clamp, forms an electronic detonator. After vacuum packaging in a sealed bag, the lead wire is squeezed to tightly wrap the detonator body and wire clamp, improving the limiting and protective effects. Furthermore, the vacuum-packed electronic detonator has a reasonable, cylindrical structure, facilitating array arrangement and packaging in a box, maximizing space utilization and reducing collision damage during transportation. This solves the problems of existing electronic detonators, such as unreasonable structure, large space occupation, low automation during production, difficulty in boxing, and susceptibility to damage during transportation.

[0006] To address the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted: An automated production line for electronic detonators, including an assembly mechanism for assembling the detonator body, lead wire, and wire clamp of an electronic detonator, and further including:

[0007] A conveying mechanism is located below the assembly mechanism and is used to convey the electronic detonator. A winding mechanism, a packaging mechanism, and a boxing mechanism are sequentially arranged outside the conveying mechanism along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. When the winding mechanism wraps the lead wire around the outside of the detonator body and the wire clip, and cooperates with the packaging mechanism to vacuum pack the electronic detonator in a sealed bag, the boxing mechanism arranges multiple electronic detonator arrays in a packing box and packs them into a box.

[0008] The winding mechanism includes a wire feeder, a first bending assembly, a second bending assembly, a third bending assembly, and a fourth bending assembly, which are sequentially arranged on the outside of the conveying mechanism along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. When the first bending assembly reciprocates and bends the lead wire fed by the wire feeder onto the conveying mechanism to form a wire plate, the second bending assembly simultaneously bends the bent portion of the lead wire upwards, and the two adjacent bent portions on the same side of the wire plate bend upwards at different angles. When the third bending assembly bends the two ends of the lead wire on both sides of the wire plate to bend the detonator body and the wire clamp assembled by the assembly mechanism to the inside of the wire plate, the fourth bending assembly bends the wire plate upwards to form a wire tube surrounding the detonator body and the wire clamp, and the bent portion is located at both ends of the wire tube.

[0009] Preferably, the first bending assembly includes two push rods respectively movably disposed on both sides of the conveying mechanism, a positioning plate disposed directly above the conveying mechanism and forming a positioning area with the conveying mechanism, and a push plate rotatably disposed on the positioning plate. When the push rods move and force the lead wire to bend, the push plate pushes the bent lead wire to stick together and enter the positioning area.

[0010] Preferably, the second bending assembly includes two sliding seats that are movably disposed on both sides of the positioning plate along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, a positioning rod that is movably disposed on the sliding seats and inserted into a bending groove inside the bending point, a bending plate that is movably disposed on the sliding seats and cooperates with the positioning plate to bend the bending point upwards, and two first elastic members that are respectively disposed on both sides of the positioning plate and are used to force the two sliding seats to move away from the positioning plate.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a conveying component disposed below the assembly mechanism, a plurality of bases disposed on the conveying component, a positioning groove disposed on the base and cooperating with the positioning plate to form the positioning area, and two opening and closing plates rotatably disposed on the base and used to control the opening and closing of the positioning groove.

[0012] Preferably, the third bending assembly includes two sets of first clamping arms that are respectively opened and closed on both sides of the base and used to clamp the two ends of the lead wire, two push arms that are respectively rotatably disposed on the outside of both sides of the base and cooperate with the positioning plate to push the detonator body and the wire clamp to bend above the positioning plate, and receiving grooves formed on the two push arms and used to accommodate the detonator body and the wire clamp respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the fourth bending assembly includes a limiting member that is movably disposed above the base and used to restrict the detonator body from detaching from the wire plate, a first shovel plate that is movably and rotatably disposed above the base and has a semi-circular structure, a first limiting plate disposed on the inner side of the upper end of the first shovel plate, and a second shovel plate that is telescopically disposed within the first shovel plate. When the first shovel plate cooperates with the limiting member to scoop up one end of the wire plate and wrap around one side of the detonator body, and moves out of the limiting member, the second shovel plate extends out while the first shovel plate rotates so as to scoop up the other end of the wire plate and wrap around the other side of the detonator body.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting member includes a second limiting plate that is movably disposed above the base and used to limit the detonator body from the side away from the first shovel plate, a third limiting plate that is movably disposed on the upper part of the limiting plate and used to limit the upper side of the detonator body, and a second elastic member disposed on the second limiting plate and used to force the third limiting plate to move toward the detonator body.

[0015] Preferably, the packaging mechanism includes a vacuum packaging machine disposed outside the conveying mechanism and vacuum packaging the electronic detonator through a sealed bag, a push rod disposed movably and rotatably outside the fourth bending assembly and used to push the electronic detonator into the packaging assembly or the packing box, and two second clamping arms disposed on the push rod and used to clamp the electronic detonator.

[0016] Preferably, the packing mechanism includes a sealing machine disposed outside the packaging mechanism, a support platform movably disposed between the packaging mechanism and the sealing machine, and a tipping bucket rotatably disposed on the support platform for supporting and flipping the packing box.

[0017] The paper also provides an automated production method for electronic detonators, based on the aforementioned automated production line for electronic detonators, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Step 1: Winding process. During the process of the wire feeding machine conveying the lead wire to the conveying mechanism, the first bending component bends the lead wire back and forth to form the wire plate, while the second bending component bends the bend of the lead wire upwards, and the two sides of the formed wire plate extend out from both ends of the lead wire respectively.

[0019] Step 2: Assembly process. The conveying mechanism conveys the wire board to the assembly mechanism, and assembles the detonator body and the wire clip to both ends of the lead wire respectively. Then, the third bending component bends both ends of the lead wire until the detonator body and the wire clip are located inside the wire board.

[0020] Step 3: Packaging process. The fourth bending component bends the wire plate into the wire tube and, together with the bending part, wraps the detonator body and the wire clip. Then, the packaging mechanism vacuum-packs the electronic detonator through the sealing bag, thereby squeezing the lead wire, the detonator body and the wire clip together.

[0021] Step 4: Packing process. The packaged electronic detonators are inserted horizontally into the packing box by the packing mechanism until the packing box is filled with multiple electronic detonator arrays. Then, the packing mechanism flips the electronic detonators with the packing box to a vertical position, seals the packing box, and outputs it, completing the production process.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] (1) In this invention, the conveying mechanism is set up in conjunction with the winding mechanism, assembly mechanism, packaging mechanism and boxing mechanism to achieve fully automated production. No manual intervention is required throughout the process, and the production efficiency is significantly improved. During the winding process, the first bending component, the second bending component, the third bending component and the fourth bending component work together in the production line to bend the lead wire step by step at multiple angles, so that the lead wire is finally formed into a tube and wrapped around the detonator body and the wire clip. After the tube is wrapped around the bend and the bend is wrapped around the detonator body and the wire clip, the electronic detonator is vacuum-packed with a sealing bag. This squeezes the tube and the bend to further tightly wrap the detonator body and the wire clip, improving the limiting effect and protection effect, preventing collision damage or shaking during transportation and resulting in loose connection. The vacuum-packed electronic detonator has a reasonable structure and is similar to a cylinder, occupying little space. It can then be arranged in an array and packed in a packing box to ensure maximum utilization of the space inside the box and reduce misalignment or even collision damage during transportation.

[0024] (2) In this invention, after the bending of the lead wire is achieved by setting a push rod, the push rod moves out and cooperates with the sliding seat and the positioning rod to insert into the bending groove to position the bending point, so as to avoid the lead wire from being misaligned. At the same time, when the lead wire is pushed into the positioning area by the rotating push plate, the sliding seat moves synchronously and the bending plate moves upward. The positioning plate squeezes the bending point and bends upward synchronously, so as to avoid interference with the previously bent bending point. When the positioning rod moves out, the bending point cooperates with the positioning plate to restrict the movement of the lead wire. The first elastic element forces the sliding seat to reset. In this way, the line plate formed by the repeated bending of the lead wire is positioned in the positioning area. The structure is simple and the bending effect is good.

[0025] (3) In this invention, by setting a limiting component in conjunction with the first shovel plate and the second shovel plate with a semi-circular structure, the two ends of the wire plate are forced to be bent and wrapped around the outside of the detonator body, so that the electronic detonator can be pushed into the vacuum packaging machine by the push rod. With the assistance of the second clamping arm and the movable support platform, the vacuum-packed electronic detonator can be clamped out of the vacuum packaging machine and inserted into the packing box in a horizontal array. The electronic detonator is stacked in the packing box under the action of gravity, which is convenient for packing into a box. With the help of the tipping bucket, the electronic detonator can be flipped to a vertical state with the packing box, which is convenient for the subsequent sealing machine to seal the box and also avoids the squeezing between the electronic detonators during transportation.

[0026] In summary, this automated production line for electronic detonators has a high degree of automation in the production of electronic detonators, which reduces the difficulty of packaging and boxing. Moreover, the electronic detonators produced have a reasonable structure, occupy little space, and are not easily damaged during transportation, making it particularly suitable for the field of electronic detonator technology.

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figures 1-2 as well as Figures 8-12 As shown, an automated production line for electronic detonators includes an assembly mechanism 1 for assembling the detonator body 61, lead wire 62, and wire clip 65 of an electronic detonator 6, and further includes:

[0041] The conveying mechanism 2, located below the assembly mechanism 1 and used to convey the electronic detonator 6, the winding mechanism 3, the packaging mechanism 4, and the boxing mechanism 5 are arranged sequentially on the outside of the conveying mechanism 2 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. When the winding mechanism 3 wraps the lead wire 62 around the outside of the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65, and cooperates with the packaging mechanism 4 to vacuum pack the electronic detonator 6 through a sealed bag, the boxing mechanism 5 arranges multiple electronic detonators 6 in an array in the packing box 7 and packs them into a box.

[0042] The winding mechanism 3 includes a wire feeder 31, a first bending assembly 32, a second bending assembly 33, a third bending assembly 34, and a fourth bending assembly 35, which are sequentially arranged on the outside of the conveying mechanism 2 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. When the first bending assembly 32 bends the lead wire 62 fed by the wire feeder 31 to the conveying mechanism 2 to form a wire plate 63, the second bending assembly 33 simultaneously bends the bending point 621 of the lead wire 62 upward, and the two adjacent bending points 621 on the same side of the wire plate 63 bend upward at different angles. When the third bending assembly 34 bends the two ends of the lead wire 62 on both sides of the wire plate 63 to bend the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 assembled by the assembly mechanism 1 to the inside of the wire plate 63, the fourth bending assembly 35 bends the wire plate 63 upward to form a wire tube 64 that surrounds the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65, and the bending part is located at both ends of the wire tube 64.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting the first bending component 32, the second bending component 33, the third bending component 34, and the fourth bending component 35 to work together in the production line, and in conjunction with the conveying mechanism 2, it is ensured that the lead wire 62 conveyed by the wire feeder 31 is wrapped around the outside of the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 assembled by the assembly mechanism 1. This reduces the space occupied by the electronic detonator 6, avoids uneven tension or shape deviation caused by manual winding, and ensures the accuracy and consistency of winding. The lead wire 62 is bent in steps at multiple angles, so that the lead wire 62 is first bent back and forth to form a wire plate 63, which is convenient to stretch out the lead wire 62 in later use. Finally, the wire tube 64 is formed and wrapped around the outside of the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 with the bending part, and then packaged by the packaging machine. Structure 4 uses a sealed bag to vacuum-pack the electronic detonator 6. This not only compresses the tube 64 and the bend to further tightly wrap the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65, improving the limiting and protection effects, preventing damage from collisions or shaking during transportation that could lead to loose connections, but also reduces the risk of the electronic detonator 6 getting damp or oxidized, extending its storage life and ensuring stable use. Furthermore, the vacuum-packed electronic detonator 6 has a reasonable and cylindrical structure, which, together with the packing mechanism 5, allows for automatic arraying and packaging in the packing box 7, maximizing the utilization of the box's internal space and reducing misalignment or even collision damage during transportation. The entire production process is automated, requiring no manual intervention, and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0044] It should be noted that the wire feeder 31 itself and its installation method are existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first bending assembly 32 includes two push rods 321 that are movably disposed on both sides of the conveying mechanism 2, a positioning plate 322 that is disposed directly above the conveying mechanism 2 and forms a positioning area 323 with the conveying mechanism 2, and a push plate 324 that is rotatably disposed on the positioning plate 322. When the push rods 321 move and force the lead wire 62 to bend, the push plate 324 pushes the bent lead wire 62 to stick together and enter the positioning area 323.

[0046] In this embodiment, after the bending of the lead wire 62 is achieved by setting the push rod 321, the bent lead wire 62 can be guided and pushed between the positioning plate 322 and the conveying mechanism 2 in conjunction with the rotating push plate 324. In this way, the wire plate 63 formed by the reciprocating bending of the lead wire 62 can be positioned in the positioning area 323.

[0047] It should be noted that the two push rods 321 are connected to each other and driven simultaneously. When one push rod 321 pushes the lead wire 62 to bend, the other push rod 321 retracts from the bend 621.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second bending assembly 33 includes two sliding seats 331 that are movably disposed on both sides of the positioning plate 322 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, a positioning rod 332 that is movably disposed on the sliding seats 331 and inserted into the bending groove 622 inside the bending point 621, a bending plate 333 that is movably disposed on the sliding seats 331 and cooperates with the positioning plate 322 for bending the bending point 621 upward, and two first elastic members 334 that are respectively disposed on both sides of the positioning plate 322 and are used to force the two sliding seats 331 to move away from the positioning plate 322.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bending point 621 is positioned by setting a sliding seat 331 in conjunction with a positioning rod 332. This prevents the lead wire 62 from shifting when the push rod 321 performs the next bend. It also ensures that when the push plate 324 pushes the lead wire 62 and the bending plate 333 moves upward to press the bending point 621 upward through the positioning plate 322, the positioning rod 332 moves synchronously with the sliding seat 331. This avoids interference with the previously bent bending point 621, allowing two adjacent bending points 621 to intersect. After this, the positioning rod 332 moves out. During the subsequent conveying process of the conveying mechanism 2, the upward-bent bending point 621, in conjunction with the positioning plate 322, restricts the movement of the lead wire 62, and the first elastic element 334 forces the sliding seat 331 to reset, facilitating the next bend.

[0050] It should be noted that, in order to avoid excessive bending of the lead wire 62, a bending groove 622 will be formed on the inner side of the bending point 621 when the lead wire 62 is bent. Therefore, the two adjacent bending points 621 on the same side of the wire board 63 bend upward at different angles to avoid interference between the bending points 621 and to facilitate the bending of the wire board 63 into a wire tube 64.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying component 21 disposed below the assembly mechanism 1, a plurality of bases 22 disposed on the conveying component 21, a positioning groove 23 disposed on the base 22 and forming a positioning area 323 with the positioning plate 322, and two opening and closing plates 24 rotatably disposed on the base 22 and used to control the opening and closing of the positioning groove 23.

[0052] In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the positioning groove 23 on the base 22 is controlled by the opening and closing plate 24, and the base 22 is moved in conjunction with the conveying component 21, so that the bent lead wire 62 gradually enters the positioning groove 23, thereby positioning the lead wire 63.

[0053] In detail, when the conveying component 21 conveys one end of the positioning groove 23 along with the base 22 to the area below the positioning plate 322, the locking plate controls the other end of the positioning groove 23 to open, so that the bent lead wire 62 can enter between the positioning plate 322 and the positioning groove 23. After the lead wire 62 is bent into a wire plate 63, the locking plate closes the positioning groove 23 to position the wire plate 63 between the positioning plate 322 and the positioning groove 23.

[0054] It should be noted that the conveying component 21 can be a conveyor belt, and both the conveyor belt itself and its installation method are existing technologies, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the third bending assembly 34 includes two sets of first clamping arms 341 that are respectively opened and closed on both sides of the base 22 and used to clamp the two ends of the lead wire 62, two push arms 342 that are respectively rotatably disposed on the outside of both sides of the base 22 and cooperate with the positioning plate 322 to push the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 to bend above the positioning plate 322, and receiving grooves 343 formed on the two push arms 342 and used to accommodate the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 respectively.

[0056] In this embodiment, by setting the first clamping arm 341 to clamp both ends of the lead wire 62, it is convenient for the assembly mechanism 1 to assemble the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65. At the same time, it prevents the lead wire 62 from being misaligned when the pushing arm 342 pushes the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65. The receiving groove 343 is used to position the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65, so that the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 can be bent above the positioning plate 322, that is, above the wire plate 63. In addition, when the first bending component 32 bends the lead wire 62, the end of the first clamping arm 341 clamping the lead wire 62 is limited.

[0057] It should be noted that the push arm 342 can be a J-shaped or L-shaped structure, and the bend 621 of the push plate 324 can bend the foot line 62 upwards towards the positioning plate 322.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the fourth bending assembly 35 includes a limiting member 354 that is movably disposed above the base 22 and is used to limit the detonator body 61 from disengaging from the wire plate 63; a first shovel plate 351 that is movably and rotatably disposed above the base 22 and has a semi-circular structure; a first limiting plate 352 disposed on the inner side of the upper end of the first shovel plate 351; and a second shovel plate 353 that is telescopically disposed within the first shovel plate 351. When the first shovel plate 351 cooperates with the limiting member 354 to shovel up one end of the wire plate 63 to wrap around one side of the detonator body 61 and moves out of the limiting member 354, the second shovel plate 353 extends out to shovel up the other end of the wire plate 63 to wrap around the other side of the detonator body 61 while the first shovel plate 351 rotates.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting a limiting member 354 to cooperate with the first shovel plate 351 to shovel up one end of the wire plate 63 until one end of the wire plate 63 abuts against the first limiting plate 352, the second shovel plate 353 is used to shovel up the other end of the wire plate 63, thereby wrapping the wire plate 63 around the outside of the detonator body 61.

[0060] In detail, the limiting member 354 moves downward to restrict the detonator body 61 and opens a hinged plate 24 near the detonator body 61. During the conveying process of the conveying assembly 21, one end of the first shovel plate 351 enters the positioning groove 23 through the hinged plate 24. The wire plate 63 and the detonator body 61 are shoveled into the first shovel plate 351, forcing one end of the wire plate 63 to wrap around one side of the detonator body 61 until one end of the wire plate 63 abuts against the first positioning plate 322 for positioning. Then, the limiting member 354 moves upward to release the restriction. At the same time, the first shovel plate 351 rotates and the second shovel... Plate 353 extends to restrict the detonator body 61 between the first shovel plate 351 and the second shovel plate 353, and can continue to shovel up the wire plate 63 and continue to bend it until the wire plate 63 is completely removed from the positioning plate 322 and the first shovel plate 351 moves away from the positioning plate 322. At this time, another opening and closing plate 24 opens, and the other end of the first shovel plate 351 can shovel up the other end of the wire plate 63 through the other opening and closing plate 24 until the first shovel plate 351 and the second shovel plate 353 close, so that the wire plate 63 can be bent into a wire tube 64 wrapped around the detonator body 61 and the wire clamp 65.

[0061] It should be noted that the ends of the first shovel plate 351 and the second shovel plate 353 are provided with a bevel structure to facilitate the shoveling of the line plate 63.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the limiting member 354 includes a second limiting plate 355 that is movably disposed above the base 22 and used to limit the detonator body 61 away from the first shovel plate 351, a third limiting plate 356 that is movably disposed on the upper part of the limiting plate and used to limit the upper side of the detonator body 61, and a second elastic member 357 disposed on the second limiting plate 355 and used to force the third limiting plate 356 to move toward the detonator body 61.

[0063] In this embodiment, by setting a second limiting plate 355 in conjunction with a third limiting plate 356, when the first shovel plate 351 scoops up the detonator body 61, the detonator body 61 is restricted from detaching from the wire plate 63. After the first shovel plate 351 rotates and squeezes the third limiting plate 356 to move, so that the detonator body 61 is restricted between the first shovel plate 351 and the second shovel plate 353, the second limiting plate 355 moves upward and is supplemented by a second elastic member 357 to realize the automatic reset of the third limiting plate 356, which is convenient for the next positioning use.

[0064] It should be noted that the first elastic element 334 and the second elastic element 357 can be coil springs, leaf springs or rubber springs, etc., and their own installation methods are all existing technologies, which will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 13As shown, the packaging mechanism 4 includes a vacuum packaging machine 41 disposed outside the conveying mechanism 2 and vacuum packaging the electronic detonator 6 through a sealed bag, a push rod 321 disposed outside the fourth bending assembly 35 and used to push the electronic detonator 6 into the packaging assembly or packing box 7, and two second clamping arms 43 disposed on the push rod 321 and used to clamp the electronic detonator 6.

[0066] In this embodiment, the electronic detonator 6 in the fourth bending assembly 35 is pushed into the vacuum packaging machine 41 by the push rod 321. With the assistance of the second clamping arm 43 and the rotating push rod 321, the vacuum-packed electronic detonator 6 is clamped from the vacuum packaging machine 41 into the boxing mechanism 5. Then, the second clamping arm 43 opens, and the push rod 321 pushes the electronic detonator 6 completely into the boxing mechanism 5.

[0067] It should be noted that the vacuum packaging machine 41 itself and its installation method are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here; in addition, the sealing tape itself is existing technology and is not shown in the attached drawings, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 as well as Figures 12-13 As shown, the packing mechanism 5 includes a sealing machine 51 disposed outside the packaging mechanism 4, a support platform 52 movably disposed between the packaging mechanism 4 and the sealing machine 51, and a tipping bucket 53 rotatably disposed on the support platform 52 for supporting and tipping the packing box 7.

[0069] In this embodiment, by setting a support platform 52 to move the packing box 7 in conjunction with the packaging mechanism 4, the vacuum-packed electronic detonators 6 of the packaging mechanism 4 are inserted horizontally in an array inside the packing box 7. The electronic detonators 6 are stacked inside the packing box 7 under the action of gravity, which is convenient for packing into boxes and avoids the need for positioning during packing. With the help of the tipping bucket 53, the electronic detonators 6 are flipped to a vertical state with the packing box 7. The electronic detonators 6 move to the bottom of the packing box 7 automatically under the action of gravity, which is convenient for the subsequent sealing machine 51 to seal the box and also avoids the squeezing between the electronic detonators 6 during transportation.

[0070] It should be noted that the carton sealing machine 51 itself and its installation method are existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] like Figures 1-2 , Figures 8-12 as well as Figure 14 As shown, the present invention also provides an automated production method for electronic detonators, based on an automated production line for electronic detonators in Embodiment 1, comprising the following steps:

[0073] Step 1: Winding process. During the process of the wire feeding machine 31 feeding the lead wire 62 to the conveying mechanism 2, the first bending component 32 bends the lead wire 62 back and forth to form the wire plate 63, while the second bending component 33 bends the bending part 621 of the lead wire 62 upward, and the two sides of the formed wire plate 63 extend out to the two ends of the lead wire 62 respectively.

[0074] Step 2: Assembly process. The conveying mechanism 2 conveys the wire plate 63 to the assembly mechanism 1, and assembles the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 to both ends of the lead wire 62 respectively. Then, the third bending component 34 bends both ends of the lead wire 62 until the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 are located inside the wire plate 63.

[0075] Step 3: Packaging process. The fourth bending component bends the wire plate 63 into a wire tube 64 and wraps the detonator body 61 and wire clip 65 with the bending part. Then, the packaging mechanism 4 vacuum-packs the electronic detonator 6 through a sealed bag, thereby squeezing the lead wire 62, the detonator body 61 and the wire clip 65 together.

[0076] Step 4: Packing process. The packaged electronic detonators 6 are inserted horizontally into the packing box 7 by the packing mechanism 5 until the packing box 7 is filled with multiple electronic detonators 6 arrays. Then, the packing mechanism 5 flips the electronic detonators 6 into a vertical position along with the packing box 7, seals the packing box 7 and outputs it, completing the production.

[0077] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "front and back", "left and right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
