Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of decorative strip processing technology, and in particular to a decorative strip processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the stamping process for decorative strips generally employs a manual, single-piece operation mode. Operators must manually complete the entire cycle of "material loading—positioning—starting—material loading," with each machine requiring a dedicated operator. However, this operation mode has the following problems: manual material loading and positioning are slow, resulting in excessively long equipment downtime, leading to low production efficiency, high labor costs, and high costs for rework of scrap. Furthermore, the operator's hands must frequently enter and exit the work area, posing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 The embodiments of this application relate to a decorative strip processing equipment 10, including a feeding mechanism 100, a processing mechanism 200 and a discharging mechanism 300. The feeding mechanism 100 is disposed at the feeding end of the processing mechanism 200, and the discharging mechanism 300 is disposed at the discharging end of the processing mechanism 200. The three are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the decorative strip, and together constitute a continuous automated production line.

[0039] The feeding mechanism 100 is used to convey the decorative strips to be processed to the processing mechanism 200.

[0040] The processing mechanism 200 includes a processing conveyor belt 210 and a stamping and flipping assembly 220. A processing station is provided along the conveying path of the processing conveyor belt 210, and the stamping and flipping assembly 220 is located at the processing station. Specifically, the stamping and flipping assembly 220 is located on the side of the processing conveyor belt 210. It should be noted that the processing conveyor belt 210 is a stepper conveyor belt, driven by a stepper motor, and its conveying speed is controllable and adjustable to adapt to the processing requirements of decorative strips of different specifications.

[0041] It should also be noted that this application does not specify a particular number of processing stations, which can be adjusted according to production capacity requirements. In this embodiment, three processing stations are set on the conveying path of the processing conveyor belt 210. Each processing station is equipped with a set of stamping and flipping assemblies 220. Each set of stamping and flipping assemblies 220 processes both ends of the decorative strip, which can realize simultaneous processing at multiple stations and further improve production efficiency.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding mechanism 100 is used to convey the decorative strips to be processed to the processing conveyor belt 210. The processing conveyor belt 210 is used to transport the decorative strips to be processed to the processing station, where the stamping and flipping assembly 220 performs stamping and flipping forming operations, and then conveys the processed decorative strips to the unloading mechanism 300.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The stamping and turning assembly 220 includes a sliding cylinder 221, a stamping die, and a turning block 222. The turning block 222 is located on one side of the stamping die. The output end of the sliding cylinder 221 is connected to the stamping die and is used to drive the stamping die to move in a direction closer to or further away from the processing conveyor belt 210. By setting the sliding cylinder 221, the stamping die can be driven to actively move towards the end of the decorative strip until it contacts the end of the decorative strip. No matter where the actual end position of the decorative strip is due to conveyor belt stop deviation, positioning error, or length tolerance, the stamping die can actively align and position itself, thereby eliminating the alignment deviation caused by the above-mentioned errors.

[0044] The cavity of the stamping die matches the shape of the decorative strip to be processed. Specifically, the stamping die includes an upper die 223 and a lower die 224. The lower die 224 is connected to a sliding cylinder 221. The upper die 223 can move towards or away from the lower die 224. A punch 225 is provided on the upper die 223, and a forming seat 226 is provided on the lower die 224. A cavity is formed between the punch 225 and the forming seat 226. A flipping block 222 is located on the side of the punch 225 and the forming seat 226 away from the processing conveyor belt 210. After the stamping die completes the stamping process, the flipping block 222 can flip the decorative strip, realizing an integrated stamping and flipping operation.

[0045] When the processing conveyor belt 210 transports the decorative strip to be processed to the processing station, the conveyor belt 210 pauses. The sliding cylinder 221 drives the stamping die to approach the processing conveyor belt 210, so that the decorative strip is accurately embedded into the cavity formed by the punch 225 and the forming seat 226. The upper die 223 moves in the direction closer to the lower die 224 to complete the stamping operation. Then, the flipping block 222 moves to complete the flipping action, and the stamping and flipping are formed in one step. After processing is completed, the sliding cylinder 221 drives the stamping die away from the processing conveyor belt 210 and returns to the initial position so as not to interfere with the operation of the processing conveyor belt 210.

[0046] The working process of the decorative strip processing equipment 10 is as follows:

[0047] First, the feeding mechanism 100 conveys the decorative strip to be processed onto the processing conveyor belt 210 of the processing mechanism 200; second, the processing conveyor belt 210 transports the decorative strip to be processed along the conveying path to the processing station; then, the stamping and flipping assembly 220, located at the processing station, performs stamping and flipping forming operations on the decorative strip; finally, the processing conveyor belt 210 continues to convey the processed decorative strip forward to the unloading mechanism 300 to complete the collection of finished products.

[0048] Throughout the process, the decorative strip is automatically fed by the feeding mechanism 100, automatically conveyed to the fixed station by the processing conveyor belt 210, automatically completed by the stamping and turning assembly 220, and finally automatically collected by the unloading mechanism 300, realizing the fully automated operation of the decorative strip stamping and turning process.

[0049] By setting up a feeding mechanism 100, a processing mechanism 200, and a discharging mechanism 300, the feeding mechanism 100 supplies material to the processing conveyor belt 210, the processing conveyor belt 210 automatically conveys the decorative strip to the processing station, the stamping and flipping assembly 220 automatically completes the stamping and flipping forming, and then automatically conveys it to the discharging mechanism 300, forming a complete automated production process. This significantly shortens the production cycle, reduces equipment downtime, significantly improves production efficiency, and effectively reduces labor costs and rework costs caused by human error. More importantly, the operator's hands do not need to enter or leave the work area, avoiding safety hazards.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a first support 110, a feeding conveyor belt 120 and a centering component 130. The feeding conveyor belt 120 and the centering component 130 are both disposed on the first support 110. The feeding conveyor belt 120 is provided with a positioning component 140 for positioning the decorative strip to be processed. The centering component 130 is used to guide the decorative strip to be processed to move to the middle position of the feeding conveyor belt 120 during the conveying process.

[0051] The feeding conveyor belt 120 is used to receive decorative strips to be processed from the upstream silo or manually placed. The feeding conveyor belt 120 is arranged horizontally, and its conveying direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the processing conveyor belt 210 to ensure smooth connection of the decorative strips. For example, the feeding conveyor belt 120 can be a variable frequency speed control conveyor belt, and its conveying speed can be steplessly adjusted by a frequency converter to adapt to the needs of different feeding speeds and processing cycles.

[0052] Specifically, the frequency converter is electrically connected to the drive motor of the feeding conveyor belt 120. By changing the power supply frequency, the speed of the drive motor is controlled, thereby adjusting the running speed of the feeding conveyor belt 120. The operator can flexibly set the conveying speed of the feeding conveyor belt 120 according to the upstream discharge speed or the processing cycle of the downstream processing mechanism 200.

[0053] By setting the centering component 130 and the positioning component 140 on the feeding conveyor belt 120, a dual positioning mechanism of positioning and centering guidance is formed. The positioning component 140 can initially position the decorative strip to be processed, ensuring that the decorative strip is placed on the feeding conveyor belt 120 in the correct posture. During the conveying process, the centering component 130 guides the decorative strip to automatically move to the middle position of the feeding conveyor belt 120, further correcting its lateral offset. The two work together to enable the decorative strip to obtain a precise position and posture during the feeding stage, providing a unified positioning benchmark for subsequent processing steps and effectively avoiding processing errors caused by feeding deviation. The feeding conveyor belt 120 can flexibly adjust the conveying speed, and in conjunction with the automated actions of the positioning component 140 and the centering component 130, realize the orderly and regular conveying of the decorative strip, avoid the disorderly feeding by manual feeding, ensure that the feeding speed matches the processing rhythm of the processing mechanism 200, and further improve production efficiency.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the positioning component 140 includes a carrier 141 and a plurality of connectors 142 disposed on the feeding conveyor belt 120. The plurality of connectors 142 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120. The carrier 141 is provided with a carrier groove, the extension direction of which is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120. The carrier 141 is used to carry the decorative strip to be processed and is detachably connected to the connectors 142. The carrier 141 has a contoured support surface that matches the decorative strip.

[0055] Multiple connectors 142 are fixedly installed on the bearing surface of the feeding conveyor belt 120 and are evenly distributed along the conveying direction at predetermined intervals. It should be noted that the spacing between two adjacent connectors 142 can be set according to the width of the decorative strip, usually slightly larger than the width of the decorative strip, to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the bearing 141.

[0056] Specifically, the connector 142 is a dovetail-shaped protrusion that extends in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The width of the groove bottom is greater than the width of the groove opening, forming a trapezoidal cross-section that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The dovetail-shaped protrusion can be formed by machining a metal profile and then fixing it to the feeding conveyor belt 120, or it can be directly machined on the bearing surface of the feeding conveyor belt 120.

[0057] The support member 141 is used to directly support the decorative strip to be processed. The bottom of the support member 141 has a mounting structure that matches the connector 142. For example, when the connector 142 is a dovetail-shaped protrusion, the bottom of the support member 141 has a dovetail groove structure, with the bottom width of the groove greater than the opening width, forming a trapezoidal cross-section that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The dovetail-shaped protrusion and the dovetail groove slide together, allowing the support member 141 to be inserted laterally into or pulled out of the dovetail-shaped protrusion via the dovetail groove, thus enabling quick installation and removal of the support member 141.

[0058] The top of the carrier 141 has a contoured support surface, the shape of which is customized according to the bottom contour of the decorative strip to be processed. When the decorative strip is placed on the carrier 141, its bottom fits tightly against the contoured support surface, thereby restricting the degree of freedom of the decorative strip along the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120 and achieving precise contoured positioning.

[0059] By setting multiple connectors 142 and carriers 141, the contoured support surface on the carrier 141 fits closely with the bottom contour of the decorative strip, enabling precise contoured positioning of the decorative strip. This ensures stable posture and accurate position during conveying, providing a reliable positioning benchmark for subsequent processing. Furthermore, the carrier 141 and connectors 142 are detachably connected. When changing decorative strips of different specifications, only the corresponding carrier 141 needs to be quickly replaced, without replacing the entire feeding conveyor belt 120 or adjusting complex mechanisms, significantly shortening changeover time. At the same time, multiple connectors 142 are spaced apart along the conveying direction, allowing multiple carriers 141 to be installed simultaneously on the same feeding conveyor belt 120, supporting continuous feeding operations and further improving production efficiency.

[0060] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the centering component 130 includes two guide bars 131, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120, and a conveying channel is formed between the two guide bars 131 for the decorative strip to be processed to pass through. Along the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120, the width of the conveying channel gradually decreases from the inlet end to the outlet end.

[0061] Two guide bars 131 are disposed on the first bracket 110 and are located on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 120, respectively. For example, the guide bars 131 can be connected to the first bracket 110 through elongated slots, and can move along the width direction after the fastening bolts are loosened, and can be re-locked after adjustment. By adjusting the width of the inlet and outlet ends, the narrowing degree of the conveying channel and the final centering position can be changed.

[0062] The decorative strip can move along the extension direction of the support groove. Since the support member 141 can restrict the degree of freedom of the decorative strip along the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120, and the two guide bars 131 are fixed, when one side of the decorative strip contacts a guide bar 131, the guide bar 131 will apply a lateral thrust to the decorative strip pointing towards the center of the conveying channel to drive the decorative strip to move along the extension direction of the support groove. As the feeding conveyor belt 120 continues to move forward, the other side of the decorative strip will also contact another guide bar 131. The two guide bars 131 work together to continuously push the decorative strip to move laterally until the center line of the length direction of the decorative strip coincides with the center line of the conveying channel, that is, the decorative strip is automatically pushed to the center position of the width direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120.

[0063] The positioning component 140 is responsible for constraining the posture of the decorative strip along the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120. The centering component 130 is responsible for correcting the position of the decorative strip in the conveying direction perpendicular to the feeding conveyor belt 120, eliminating any possible lateral offset.

[0064] By setting two guide bars 131 and gradually reducing the width of the conveying channel from the inlet end to the outlet end, when the decorative strip moves with the feeding conveyor belt 120 and enters the conveying channel, as the channel width gradually narrows, the two side walls of the decorative strip contact the inner side walls of the two guide bars 131 in sequence. Under the guidance of the guide bars 131, it automatically slides to the middle position of the channel, that is, at the center line of the width direction of the feeding conveyor belt 120, thereby realizing the automatic centering and positioning of the decorative strip.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the decorative strip processing equipment 10 further includes a transfer assembly 400 disposed between the feeding mechanism 100 and the processing mechanism 200. The transfer assembly 400 includes a means for transferring the decorative strip output from the feeding mechanism 100 to the processing conveyor belt 210. In this embodiment, the processing mechanism 200 is higher than the feeding mechanism 100.

[0066] The transfer component 400 is located between the output end of the feeding mechanism 100 and the input end of the processing mechanism 200. Its input end is connected to the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 120, and its output end is connected to the input end of the processing conveyor belt 210.

[0067] By setting up the transfer component 400, the connection obstacles between the feeding mechanism 100 and the processing mechanism 200 caused by spatial layout, height difference or inconsistent conveying direction can be eliminated, making the overall layout more flexible. The position of each mechanism can be freely arranged according to its own conditions. In addition, the transfer component 400 can act as a buffer. When there is a difference between the output speed of the feeding mechanism 100 and the receiving speed of the processing mechanism 200, the transfer component 400 can play a role in temporary storage or cycle matching, avoiding material supply interruption or material accumulation.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the transfer assembly 400 includes a second support 410, a gripper 420, and a first drive member 430, with the gripper 420 and the first drive member 430 disposed on the second support 410. The gripper 420 is used to grip the decorative strip output by the feeding mechanism 100. The first drive member 430 is used to drive the gripper 420 to move between the feeding mechanism 100 and the processing conveyor belt 210 to place the gripped decorative strip onto the processing conveyor belt 210, thereby realizing the automatic transfer of the decorative strip from the feeding mechanism 100 to the processing conveyor belt 210 without manual intervention and improving the degree of automation.

[0069] Specifically, the feeding conveyor belt 120 is located below the input end of the processing conveyor belt 210, and the gripper 420 and the first drive member 430 are both located at the input end of the processing conveyor belt 210 and the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 120.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first driving member 430 forms a three-dimensional motion system for driving the gripper 420 to move in the X, Y, and Z directions, thereby achieving precise positioning and movement in space. Specifically, the first driving member 430 includes an X-axis driving unit, a Y-axis driving unit, and a Z-axis driving unit, which are respectively used to drive the gripper 420 to move along the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0071] The gripper 420 includes a gripper 421 connected to the first drive member 430 and a vacuum suction cup 422 disposed on the gripper 421. The vacuum suction cup 422 achieves gripping by adsorbing the surface of the decorative strip through negative pressure.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the processing mechanism 200 further includes a third support 230, and the processing conveyor belt 210 is disposed on the third support 230. A plurality of placement plates 240 are disposed on the processing conveyor belt 210, and the plurality of placement plates 240 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the processing conveyor belt 210. Each placement plate 240 has a tensioning mechanism 250 at both opposite ends, and the placement plate 240 is used to support the decorative strip to be processed. The tensioning mechanism 250 is used to tension the decorative strip placed on the placement plate 240. The placement plate 240 is fixedly installed on the bearing surface of the processing conveyor belt 210 and moves together with the processing conveyor belt 210.

[0073] The processing mechanism 200 also includes two fourth supports 270, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the third support 230, and each of the two fourth supports 270 is equipped with a stamping flipping head assembly 220.

[0074] After the decorative strip is placed on the placement plate 240 at the input end of the processing conveyor belt 210, the tensioning mechanism 250 on the placement plate 240 tensions and fixes the decorative strip. When the processing conveyor belt 210 conveys the placement plate 240 to the processing station, the stamping and flipping assembly 220 performs stamping and flipping forming operations on the decorative strip. When the processing conveyor belt 210 conveys the placement plate 240 to the output end, the tensioning mechanism 250 releases the decorative strip, and the processing conveyor belt 210 continues to move forward, conveying the processed decorative strip to the unloading mechanism 300.

[0075] By providing tensioning mechanisms 250 at both ends of the placement plate 240, the decorative strip can be reliably fixed on the processing conveyor belt 210. The stamping and flipping assembly 220 completes each stamping and flipping forming operation at the processing station, avoiding problems such as placement deviation and incomplete positioning caused by manual positioning, and ensuring the consistency of product processing quality.

[0076] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the tensioning mechanism 250 includes a first tensioning piece 251 and a second tensioning piece 252, which can move away from or close to each other to tension or release the decorative strip on the placement plate 240.

[0077] Specifically, the tensioning mechanism 250 further includes a mounting base 253 and an elastic element 254. A first tensioning plate 251 and a second tensioning plate 252 are slidably connected to the mounting base 253, and the elastic element 254 is disposed between the first tensioning plate 251 and the mounting base 253, and between the second tensioning plate 252 and the mounting base 253. The first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 254 and move closer together to allow the decorative strip to be inserted. After the decorative strip is inserted, the elastic element 254 can drive the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 away from each other to abut against the inner sides of opposite sides of the decorative strip.

[0078] By abutting the first tensioning piece 251 and the second tensioning piece 252 against the inner sides of opposite sides of the decorative strip, surface scratches, indentations, or coating peeling caused by tensioning are effectively avoided, ensuring the product's appearance quality. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The mounting base 253 is provided with a slide groove 255. The extension direction of the slide groove 255 is parallel to the conveying direction of the processing conveyor belt 210. The first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 are slidably connected in the slide groove 255. The first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 can slide back and forth along the extension direction of the slide groove 255 to achieve mutual approach or mutual distance.

[0079] Specifically, the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 are respectively connected to the side wall of the slide groove 255 through a guide structure. The guide structure provides precise motion guidance for the sliding of the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252, restricts the degree of freedom of the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 in the non-movement direction, and ensures that the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 always maintain the correct posture during the sliding process, thereby ensuring the alignment accuracy of the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 with the decorative strip.

[0080] The guiding structure includes a guide block 259 and a guide groove 258 that cooperates with the guide block 259. One of the guide block 259 and the guide groove 258 is provided on the side wall of the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252, and the other of the guide block 259 and the guide groove 258 is provided on the side wall of the slide groove 255.

[0081] The elastic element 254 is a compression spring, which is installed between the tensioning plate and the mounting base 253. One end of the compression spring abuts against the tensioning plate, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the mounting base 253.

[0082] Both the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 are provided with a pushing part 256, and the mounting base 253 is provided with a limiting part 257 that abuts against the pushing part 256. When the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 move inward to a predetermined position, the pushing part 256 abuts against the limiting part 257 to prevent the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 from continuing to move. Specifically, the pushing part 256 is a protrusion formed at the bottom of the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252.

[0083] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the tensioning mechanism 250 further includes a second driving member 260, which is connected to the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 for driving the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252 to move closer to each other or further away from each other.

[0084] The processing conveyor belt 210 is equipped with a second drive unit 260 at both its input and output ends. The input end, located near the starting point of the processing conveyor belt 210, is where the decorative strip is placed on the placement plate 240. The output end, located near the end of the processing conveyor belt 210, is where the decorative strip is released. Specifically, the second drive unit 260 is fixedly installed near both the input and output ends of the processing conveyor belt 210 and does not move with the processing conveyor belt 210.

[0085] The second drive unit 260 is connected to the third bracket 230, and its position corresponds to the placement plate 240 at the input and output ends of the processing conveyor belt 210. The installation position of the second drive unit 260 at the input end is spatially aligned with the placement plate 240 at the input end, so that when the placement plate 240 moves with the processing conveyor belt 210 to the input end, the placement plate 240 is exactly within the working range of the second drive unit 260. The installation position of the second drive unit 260 at the output end is spatially aligned with the placement plate 240 at the output end, so that when the placement plate 240 moves with the processing conveyor belt 210 to the output end, the placement plate 240 is exactly within the working range of the second drive unit 260.

[0086] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the second driving member 260 includes a driving cylinder 261 and a pneumatic gripper 262 connected to the driving cylinder 261. The driving cylinder 261 provides a power source to the pneumatic gripper 262 to drive the pneumatic gripper 262 to move in a direction closer to or away from the tensioning mechanism 250. The two grippers of the pneumatic gripper 262 can be aligned with the pushing portion 256 of the first tensioning plate 251 and the pushing portion 256 of the second tensioning plate 252, respectively.

[0087] When the pneumatic gripper 262 closes, the two grippers approach each other, pushing the corresponding pushing parts 256 respectively. This causes the first clamping plate 251 and the second clamping plate 252 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 254 and approach each other, allowing the decorative strip to be inserted. After the decorative strip is inserted, the pneumatic gripper 262 opens, and the two grippers move away from each other, releasing the push on the pushing parts 256. At this time, under the elastic action of the elastic member 254, the first clamping plate 251 and the second clamping plate 252 move away from each other, so that the first clamping plate 251 and the second clamping plate 252 respectively abut against the inner sides of opposite sides of the decorative strip.

[0088] The drive cylinder 261 can drive the pneumatic gripper 262 to move in a direction close to the tensioning mechanism 250, so that the two grippers of the pneumatic gripper 262 are respectively aligned with the pushing parts 256 of the first tensioning plate 251 and the second tensioning plate 252, ready for a pushing operation. The drive cylinder 261 can also drive the pneumatic gripper 262 to move in a direction away from the tensioning mechanism 250, so that the pneumatic gripper 262 disengages from the pushing part 256 and withdraws from the tensioning mechanism 250, avoiding interference with other mechanisms.

[0089] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 11According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the unloading mechanism 300 includes a fifth support 310 and an unloading conveyor belt 320 disposed on the fifth support 310 for conveying the processed decorative strips. Exemplarily, the unloading conveyor belt 320 is a flat belt conveyor belt with a certain coefficient of friction on its surface to prevent the decorative strips from slipping or shifting during conveying.

[0090] Specifically, the unloading conveyor belt 320 is located below the output end of the processing conveyor belt 210. After the tensioning mechanism 250 is released, the finished decorative strips fall naturally to the unloading conveyor belt 320 below by gravity. There is no need to set up a complicated pushing or picking device, which simplifies the unloading structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and the unloading action is naturally matched with the production rhythm. No extra action time is required, achieving zero waiting time for unloading and further improving production efficiency.

[0091] It should be noted that the distance from the tensioning mechanism 250 to the unloading conveyor belt 320 is relatively short, which is a short-distance free fall. Furthermore, a buffer layer can be set on the surface of the conveyor belt below to effectively avoid secondary damage to the decorative strip caused by the impact of the fall, thus ensuring the appearance quality of the finished product.

[0092] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The decorative strip processing equipment 10 also includes a guardrail 500, which surrounds the feeding mechanism 100, the processing mechanism 200 and the unloading mechanism 300. The guardrail 500 forms a complete safety protection barrier to prevent operators from accidentally contacting moving parts or entering dangerous areas, thus greatly avoiding the occurrence of safety hazards.

[0093] 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.

[0094] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
