Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of binding production equipment, in particular to a cutting and pushing mechanism and branch and leaf binding production equipment. Background Art

[0002] 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.

[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.

[0004] The existing branch and leaf binding production equipment uses a binding and twisting mechanism to bind the leaves and the iron core together, and the binding and twisting mechanism is fixed. The bound branches and leaves are discharged through the discharge hole of the binding and twisting mechanism, and the branches and leaves are discharged by the reciprocating motion of the mobile clamp on the binding and twisting mechanism. When the mobile frame moves toward one end of the feeding direction, it must loosen the clamp on the branches and leaves, and thus the binding and twisting of the leaves and the iron core cannot be maintained. This causes the existing branch and leaf binding production equipment to be in a suspended state for a large part of the time during the production process, which greatly affects the production efficiency.

[0005] After the branches and leaves are produced, when the branches and leaves are cut with a cutting knife, one end of the branches and leaves needs to be exposed so that the relevant components of the next workstation can clamp one end of the branches and leaves for the next operation, but the existing cutting tool does not have this ability. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a cutting and pushing mechanism and branch and leaf binding production equipment, which solves the problem that the central cutting knife in the prior art is not capable of facilitating the branches and leaves to enter the next workstation and the problem that the existing branch and leaf binding production equipment has low efficiency.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is: a cutting and pushing mechanism comprises a cutting knife, the cutting knife is connected to a first power source, and the first power source is used to drive the cutting knife to perform cutting action;

[0008] A support is provided on one side of the cutting knife, and the support is used to support the cut branches and leaves;

[0009] The cutting knife and the supporting member are arranged on a fixing frame;

[0010] The fixing frame is connected to a second power source for driving the fixing frame to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the cutting direction of the cutting knife.

[0011] Optionally, the cutting knife includes a blade abutting against one side of the support member.

[0012] Optionally, a limiting hole is provided on the support member, and the limiting hole is used for the cut branches and leaves to pass through.

[0013] Optionally, the cutting knife is provided with a plurality of them, one end of the cutting knife away from the blade is connected to a connecting rod, the plurality of cutting knives are fixed on the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the driving end of the first power source.

[0014] Optionally, the first power source and the second power source are cylinders.

[0015] This embodiment also provides a branch and leaf binding production equipment, including a binding material collecting mechanism, a twisting mechanism, the above-mentioned cutting and pushing mechanism, a conveying mechanism and a cutting mechanism;

[0016] The screwing mechanism is arranged on the material discharging side of the binding material collecting mechanism, and the screwing mechanism can reciprocate along the material discharging direction of the binding material collecting mechanism;

[0017] A cutting and pushing mechanism is provided on one side of the binding and collecting mechanism close to the screwing mechanism;

[0018] The transfer mechanism is arranged on one side of the cutting and pushing mechanism, and includes a first transfer driving member and a transfer clamp. The transfer driving member drives the transfer clamp to reciprocate between the cutting and pushing mechanism and the cutting mechanism, so as to transfer the branches and leaves clamped by the transfer clamp to the cutting mechanism.

[0019] Optionally, the transfer mechanism further includes a second transfer drive member, which drives the transfer claw to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction of the first transfer drive member, so as to insert the branches and leaves clamped by the transfer claw into the cutting mechanism.

[0020] Optionally, a path along which the first transfer drive member drives the clamping jaw to reciprocate has an overlap with a path along which the second power source drives the supporting member to reciprocate.

[0021] Optionally, the first transfer driving member and the second transfer driving member are both cylinders.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model arranges the cutting knife, the support member and the first power source for driving the cutting knife to perform cutting action on the fixed frame, and drives the fixed frame to perform reciprocating motion through the second power source. Before the cutting knife performs the cutting action, the second power source drives the fixed frame and then drives the cutting knife and the support member to move toward the discharging direction of the cutting knife, and then the cutting knife performs the cutting action. After the cutting action, the second power source drives the fixed frame and then drives the cutting knife and the support member to return to the initial position, and one end of the cut branches and leaves is exposed on one side of the support member, which is convenient for the transfer clamp to clamp it and thus transfer it to the cutting mechanism; and by arranging a second transfer drive member in the transfer mechanism, the end of the branches and leaves clamped by the transfer clamp is inserted into the cutting mechanism, thereby realizing the rapid connection between the cutting push mechanism and the cutting mechanism, and improving the production efficiency.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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 existing branch and leaf binding production equipment uses a binding and twisting mechanism to bind the leaves and the iron core together, and the binding and twisting mechanism is fixed. The bound branches and leaves are discharged through the discharge hole of the binding and twisting mechanism, and the branches and leaves are discharged by the reciprocating motion of the mobile clamp on the binding and twisting mechanism. When the mobile frame moves toward one end of the feeding direction, it must loosen the clamp on the branches and leaves, and thus the binding and twisting of the leaves and the iron core cannot be maintained. This causes the existing branch and leaf binding production equipment to be in a suspended state for a large part of the time during the production process, which greatly affects the production efficiency.

[0034] After the branches and leaves are produced, when the branches and leaves are cut with a cutting knife, one end of the branches and leaves needs to be exposed so that the relevant components of the next workstation can clamp one end of the branches and leaves for the next operation, but the existing cutting tool does not have this ability.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] To solve the problems existing in the background technology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a cutting and pushing mechanism 3, which is connected to a first power source 32. The first power source 32 is used to drive the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 to perform a cutting action to cut the produced branches and leaves. The first power source 32 is optional but not limited to a cylinder.

[0037] In this embodiment, a support member 33 is provided on one side of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3. The support member 33 is used to support the cut branches and leaves on one hand, and on the other hand, the support member 33 cooperates with the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 to cut the branches and leaves.

[0038] Specifically, the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 has a blade 311, and one side of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 with the blade 311 abuts against the support 33. When the first power source 32 drives the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 to perform a cutting action, the blade 311 and the support 33 form a scissors effect to cut the branches and leaves.

[0039] Since there is iron wire inside the branches and leaves, in order to increase the cutting effect and the smoothness of cutting, diamond material can be added to the blade 311, which is not limited here.

[0040] In the description of this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the supporting member 33 are arranged on a fixed frame 34; the second power source 36 drives the fixed frame 34 to be connected to drive the fixed frame 34 to reciprocate along the cutting direction perpendicular to the cutting and pushing mechanism 3. Before the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 performs the cutting action, the second power source 36 drives the fixed frame 34 and then drives the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the supporting member 33 to move in the discharging direction of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3, and then the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 performs the cutting action. After the cutting action, the second power source 36 drives the fixed frame 34 and then drives the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the supporting member 33 to return to the initial position. After the second power source 36 drives the fixed frame 34 and then drives the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the supporting member 33 to return to the initial position, the end of the branches and leaves will be exposed on the side of the supporting member 33 close to the direction of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3, which is convenient for other functional components to perform the next production action on the outflowing branches and leaves.

[0041] In one embodiment, a limiting hole 331 is provided on the support member 33, and the limiting hole 331 is used for the cut branches and leaves to pass through. The setting of the limiting hole 331 on the support member 33 can limit the branches and leaves and prevent the positions of the branches and leaves from shifting during the cutting process. It should be noted that the limiting hole 331 has the function of limiting. The limiting hole 331 in this embodiment can also be set as a limiting groove or other shapes with limiting capabilities, which should be included in the protection range of the limiting hole 331 described in this embodiment.

[0042] In one embodiment, the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 is provided with a plurality of them, and one end of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 away from the blade 311 is connected to a connecting rod 35, and the plurality of cutting members are fixed on the connecting rod 35, and the connecting rod 35 is connected to the driving end of the first power source 32. The provision of the plurality of cutting and pushing mechanisms 3 can improve production efficiency and cut a plurality of branches and leaves at the same time, and the provision of the connecting rod 35 enables a first power source 32 to drive a plurality of cutting and pushing mechanisms 3 at the same time, thereby saving production costs.

[0043] In this embodiment, the cutting and pushing mechanism 3, the support member 33 and the first power source 32 for driving the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 to perform cutting action are arranged on the fixed frame 34, and the fixed frame 34 is driven to perform reciprocating motion by the second power source 36. Before the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 performs the cutting action, the second power source 36 drives the fixed frame 34 and then drives the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the support member 33 to move toward the discharging direction of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3, and then the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 performs the cutting action. After the cutting action, the second power source 36 drives the fixed frame 34 and then drives the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the support member 33 to return to the initial position, and one end of the cut branches and leaves is exposed on one side of the support member 33, so that the transfer clamp 42 can clamp it, and then transfer it to the cutting mechanism 5.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] This embodiment provides a branch and leaf binding production equipment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a binding and collecting material mechanism 1, a twisting mechanism 2, the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 in Example 1, a conveying mechanism 4 and a cutting mechanism 5.

[0046] 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.

[0047] The transfer mechanism 4 is disposed at one side of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 , and includes a transfer driving member and a transfer clamp 42 . The first transfer driving member 41 drives the transfer clamp 42 to reciprocate between the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the cutting mechanism 5 .

[0048] When the screwing mechanism 2 pulls the discharged leaves and the iron core to move to a specified distance to form branches and leaves of a fixed length, the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 cuts the fixed length branches and leaves from the discharge side of the binding and collecting mechanism 1 to form branches and leaves of a fixed length. The transfer mechanism 4 is arranged on one side of the cutting and pushing mechanism 3, and includes a first transfer driving member 41 and a transfer clamping claw 42. The transfer driving member drives the transfer clamping claw 42 to reciprocate along between the cutting and pushing mechanism 3 and the cutting mechanism 5, and is used to transfer one end of the fixed length branches and leaves clamped by the transfer clamping claw 42 to the cutting mechanism 5.

[0049] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 4 further includes a second transfer driving member 43, which drives the transfer jaw 42 to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction of the first transfer driving member 41, so as to insert the branches and leaves clamped by the transfer jaw 42 into the cutting mechanism 5. When one end of the branches and leaves of a fixed length clamped by the transfer jaw 42 is transferred to the cutting mechanism 5, the second transfer driving member 43 drives the transfer jaw 42 to insert one end of the branches and leaves of a fixed length clamped by the transfer jaw 42 into the cutting mechanism, and the cutting mechanism 5 cuts the branches and leaves of the fixed length into short strips.

[0050] In this embodiment, the path of the reciprocating motion of the clamping jaw driven by the first transfer driving member 41 overlaps with the path of the reciprocating motion of the supporting member 33 driven by the second power source 36. The overlap point is the position where the transfer clamping jaw 42 clamps one end of the fixed length branch or leaf.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first transfer driving member 41 and the second transfer driving member 43 may be, but are not limited to, cylinders.

[0052] Embodiment 3:

[0053] 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.
