[0003] The production of Christmas trees mainly includes the production of trunks and branches. The branches are tied to the trunk to form a complete Christmas tree. In the production of branches, it is necessary to press a wide plastic strip as a leaf with a thinner plastic strip as a leaf core, and then cut the wide plastic strip into multiple filaments on both sides of the width direction to form leaves; and the formed leaves are tied into strips with iron wire to form branches.

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0034] For the purpose of decoration, people usually use artificial flowers or trees as landscape decoration, which can not only reduce the time people spend on plant care, but also keep their state for a long time without regular replacement or repair, making the cost low and beautiful. As an important decoration for festivals, Christmas trees have a wide and large demand.
[0035] The production of Christmas trees mainly includes the production of trunks and branches. The branches are tied to the trunk to form a complete Christmas tree. In the production of branches, it is necessary to press a wide plastic strip as a leaf with a thinner plastic strip as a leaf core, and then cut the wide plastic strip into multiple filaments on both sides of the width direction to form leaves; and the formed leaves are tied into strips with iron wire to form branches.
[0036] The branch and leaf binding production equipment in the prior art binds the leaves and the iron core together through a binding and screwing mechanism, and the binding and screwing mechanism is fixed, and the bound branches and leaves are discharged through the discharge hole of the binding and screwing mechanism, and the branches and leaves are pulled out by the reciprocating motion of the mobile clamp on the binding and screwing mechanism, and the mobile frame loosens the clamp on the branches and leaves during the movement of one end toward the feeding direction, and thus cannot maintain the binding and screwing of the leaves and the iron core. This causes the branch and leaf binding production equipment in the prior art to be in a suspended state for a large part of the time during the production process, which greatly affects the production efficiency.
[0037] On the other hand, in the process of cutting the twisted branches and leaves into short strips, the prior art usually uses manual cutting, which is inefficient.
[0038] Embodiment 1:
[0039] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the present embodiment provides a cutting mechanism 5 for cutting branches and leaves of fixed length into short strips, including a cutting knife, and the cutting knife 51 is connected to a first power source 52, and the first power source 52 is used to drive the cutting knife 51 to perform cutting. It should be noted that the fixed-length branches and leaves in this embodiment are branches and leaves that have been screwed into shape and cut into a fixed length.
[0040] In this embodiment, a support member 53 is provided on one side of the cutting knife 51, and the support member 53 is used to support the fixed-length branches and leaves to be cut. The fixed-length branches and leaves are fed from one side of the support member 53 and discharged from the other side of the support member 53 after cutting.
[0041] A pushing member 54 is provided on the feeding side of the support member 53, and the pushing member 54 is used to push the fixed-length branches and leaves onto the support member 53, and the cutting knife 51 abuts against the support member 53; specifically, after the pushing member 54 pushes the fixed-length branches and leaves onto the support member 53, the cutting knife 51 forms a scissors effect with the support member 53 during the cutting action, and cuts the branches and leaves.
[0042] In the description of this embodiment, the pushing member 54 is connected to a first power source 52 that drives it to reciprocate in the material discharging direction. The first power source 52 may be selected from but is not limited to a cylinder.
[0043] In the further description of this embodiment, a pulling member 55 is provided on the discharge side of the support member 53, and the pulling member 55 is connected to a second power source 56, which is used to pull the cutting point of the fixed-length branches and leaves to the cutting knife 51. Specifically, there are cutting points at equal distances on the fixed-length branches and leaves, and the pulling direction of the pulling member 55 is toward the support member 53. When the pushing member 54 pushes one end of the fixed-length branches and leaves to the support member 53, one end of the fixed-length branches and leaves will be exposed on the side of the support member 53 close to the pulling member 55. The pulling member 55 pulls the fixed-length branches and leaves exposed on the end of the support member 53 close to the pulling member 55 until the cutting point is pulled to the cutting path of the cutting knife 51, and finally the cutting knife 51 cuts the cutting point.
[0044] Subsequently, the cut short branches and leaves are unloaded, and the pushing component continues to repeat the next pushing action on the uncut fixed-length branches and leaves, and repeats this process back and forth.
[0045] The cutting mechanism 5 in this embodiment sets a pushing member 54 at the feeding end of the support member 53 to push one end of the fixed-length branches and leaves into the support member 53, and sets a pulling member 55 on the discharge side of the support member 53 to push the pushing member 54 to one end of the fixed-length branches and leaves in the support member 53 to pull the material, and pull the to-be-cut point of the fixed-length branches and leaves to the cutting position of the cutting knife 51; repeat this process to realize the automatic cutting of the fixed-length branches and leaves into a plurality of short strips.
[0046] In one embodiment, the support member 53 includes a limiting hole 531. On the one hand, the support member 53 cooperates with the cutting knife 51 to form a scissors effect to cut the branches and leaves. On the other hand, the limiting hole 531 of the support member 53 can limit the branches and leaves to prevent the branches and leaves from shifting during the cutting process to ensure the production yield.
[0047] In one embodiment, the pushing member 54 needs to apply a pushing force to the branches and leaves during the process of pushing the branches and leaves. As a preferred embodiment, the pushing member 54 includes a clamping member, which is used to clamp the fixed length branches and leaves on the support member 53. In the process of the pushing member 54 pushing the branches and leaves, the clamping member clamps the branches and leaves, and after the pushing is completed, the clamping member releases the clamping action and returns to the initial position. The clamping member should also be aware of a third power source that drives it to clamp and release, and the third power source can be selected but is not limited to a cylinder.
[0048] In one embodiment, when the clamping member is clamping the branches and leaves, if the position of the branches and leaves is offset, it is impossible to ensure that the clamping member can accurately clamp the branches and leaves, thereby causing a malfunction. As a preferred embodiment, the pushing member 54 includes a clamping hole 541, and the clamping member is arranged in the clamping hole 541. The arrangement of the clamping hole 541 can limit the branches and leaves to ensure that the clamping member can accurately clamp the branches and leaves.
[0049] In one embodiment, a sensor is provided on the support member 53, and the sensor is used to sense the cutting point. When the material pulling member 55 is pulling the material, when it senses that the cutting point reaches the cutting knife 51, the material pulling member 55 stops pulling the material, and the cutting knife 51 performs the cutting action. The sensor can be selected from but not limited to infrared sensors, camera sensors, optical fiber sensors, etc.
[0050] In one embodiment, the material pulling member 55 may further include a clamping claw, which clamps one end of the branch or leaf to perform the material pulling operation.
[0051] Embodiment 2:
[0052] The present embodiment provides a branch and leaf binding production equipment, including a binding material collecting mechanism 1, a twisting mechanism 2, a cutting and pushing mechanism 3, a conveying mechanism 4 and the cutting mechanism 5 in Example 1.
[0053] In this embodiment, the binding and collecting mechanism 1 collects the leaves and the core, and the twisting mechanism 2 clamps one end of the leaves and the core and rotates around the axis to twist the leaves and the core into branches and leaves. As the binding and collecting mechanism 1 discharges the materials, the twisting mechanism 2 clamps the leaves and the core of the binding and collecting mechanism 1 and rotates while pulling the leaves and the core away from the binding and collecting mechanism 1. A cutting and pushing mechanism 3 is provided on the side of the binding and collecting mechanism 1 close to the twisting mechanism 2; as the twisting mechanism 2 pulls the discharged leaves and the core to move to a specified distance, the leaves and the core between the twisting mechanism 2 and the binding and collecting mechanism 1 have formed branches and leaves of a certain length after being twisted by the twisting mechanism 2. At this time, the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 cuts the branches and leaves of a certain length. For the convenience of description, we refer to the branches and leaves of a certain length between the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the twisting mechanism 2 as fixed-length branches and leaves.
[0054] The branches and leaves clamped by the transfer clamp are transferred to the cutting mechanism 5, and the branches and leaves are passed through the clamping holes 541 and inserted into the limiting holes 531 of the support member 53, and then the cutting mechanism 5 performs a cutting operation on them.
[0055] In this embodiment, the branch and leaf binding production equipment further includes a feeding channel 6, which is arranged on the discharge side of the support member 53. The short branches and leaves cut by the cutting mechanism 5 automatically fall on the feeding channel 6 under the action of their own gravity. As a preferred embodiment, the feeding channel 6 is provided with an inclined surface, and the short branches and leaves cut by the cutting mechanism 5 can automatically slide down the feeding channel 6 under the action of gravity to discharge. No external force intervention is required.
[0056] Embodiment 3:
[0057] The present embodiment provides a branch and leaf binding production equipment, which is basically consistent with the basic settings of Example 2. The main difference is that the production equipment of this Example 3 includes an intelligent control system to control the various components of the equipment to work together and perform fully automated production.

Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limitations on this patent. In addition, if there are terms such as "first", "second", etc., they are only used for descriptive purposes, mainly to distinguish different devices, components or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, components or components, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly explaining the utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here.
