[0025] The following will be combined with the attached embodiment of the utility model Figure 1-6 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. 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.

[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model discloses a clamping and limiting device for a konjac thread knotting machine, comprising a feeding frame 1, a running frame 2 is arranged on the feeding frame 1, and a cutting mechanism is arranged on the lower side of the running frame 2, the cutting mechanism is used to cut the konjac thread after the konjac thread is knotted, a tapered opening 21 with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part is opened from top to bottom in the running frame 2, and a clamping assembly is arranged in the tapered opening 21, and a clamping driving mechanism for driving the clamping assembly to clamp and release is arranged on the feeding frame 1.

[0028] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes two symmetrically arranged clamping plates 31, and the rear side of the travel frame 2 is provided with a clamping hole 22 that penetrates into the tapered opening 21. The rear ends of the two clamping plates 31 penetrate the clamping hole 22 backward and are connected to the clamping drive mechanism. In addition, an upper cross plate 11 is transversely fixed on the feed frame 1, and the travel frame 2 is fixedly connected to the front side of the upper cross plate 11. The drive mechanism includes a clamping finger cylinder 32 fixedly installed on the lower side of the upper cross plate 11. The rear ends of the two clamping plates 31 are fixedly connected to the clamping finger cylinder 32. The two clamping plates 31 are controlled by the clamping finger cylinder 32 to move closer to or farther from each other. Since the finger cylinder is a prior art, the structure of the finger cylinder itself will not be described in detail here.

[0029] The cutting mechanism includes a cutting cylinder 71, a cutting knife 72, and a lower knife seat 73. The feed frame 1 is fixedly connected to a middle horizontal plate 13 at the lower side of the upper horizontal plate 11. The cutting cylinder 71 and the lower knife seat 73 are fixed on the middle horizontal plate 13. The lower knife seat 73 is located at the front side of the cutting cylinder 71. A passage 731 corresponding to the tapered opening 21 is provided on the lower knife seat 73. The cutting knife 72 is fixedly connected to the cutting cylinder 71 and is located on the upper side of the lower knife seat 73. The konjac silk passing through the tapered opening 21 of the passing frame 2 will pass through the passage 731. When cutting, the cutting cylinder 71 drives the cutting knife 72 to move forward, and the konjac silk is cut by the shear force between the cutting knife 72 and the lower knife seat 73.

[0030] The specific structure of the konjac silk knotting machine itself is as follows Figure 6As shown, the feed frame 1 is provided with a feed conveyor belt 81 and a conveying roller group 82 on the upper side of the travel frame 2. The long strip of konjac silk enters from the feed conveyor belt 81, and then enters downward from the conveying roller group 82 into the tapered mouth 21 of the travel frame 2, and then passes through the passage 731 of the lower knife seat 73. When the konjac silk reaches a set length through the passage 731, the knotting mechanism 84 starts to knot the konjac silk. After knotting, the konjac silk is cut off by the cutting knife 72, and then falls on the discharging conveyor belt 83 for output. Since the knotting mechanism 84 is a prior art and is not the content to be protected by the present application, the technical scheme of the present application should be applicable to various knotting mechanisms with slightly different structures. Therefore, the specific structure of the knotting mechanism 84 is not limited or elaborated in the present application. When the konjac shreds of the utility model enter the tapered opening 21 of the travel frame 2, they are located between the two clamping plates 31. When the taro shreds reach a set length through the passage opening 731, the clamping finger cylinder 32 drives the two clamping plates 31 of the rod to clamp the konjac shreds. Therefore, subsequent knotting work will not affect the konjac shreds located on the upper side of the clamping plates 31, and the konjac shreds can be effectively prevented from being accidentally pulled out due to tension during the knotting process. After the konjac shreds are knotted, the cutting cylinder 71 drives the cutter 72 to move forward to cut the konjac shreds.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper horizontal plate 11 is provided with a limit seat 4 on the upper side of the middle part of the conical mouth 21, and the limit seat 4 is provided with a limit groove 41 from top to bottom, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom and faces the middle of the two clamping plates 31. The setting of the limit groove 41 can help guide the konjac noodles to accurately enter between the two clamping plates 31.

[0032] In the utility model, a lower horizontal plate 12 located below the cutting mechanism is fixedly connected to the feed rack 1, and a blanking inclined plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower horizontal plate 12. When the konjac silk is knotted and cut by the cutting mechanism, the konjac silk knot falls downward. The setting of the blanking inclined plate 5 can help the konjac silk knot falling downward to slide into the discharging conveyor belt 83 and be output.

[0033] In the utility model, a limiting finger cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the lower cross plate 12, and two symmetrically arranged limiting plates 62 are connected to the limiting finger cylinder 61, and the two limiting plates 62 are located on the upper side of the blanking inclined plate 5. The two limiting plates 62 are provided with positioning openings 621 on the sides facing each other. When the konjac silk enters, the lower end is located between the two limiting plates 62, and the two limiting plates 62 are closed by the driving of the limiting finger cylinder 61, so that the lower end of the konjac silk is located in the positioning opening 621. The setting of the limiting finger cylinder 61 and the limiting plate 62 is conducive to centering the lower side of the konjac silk, preventing the lower side of the konjac silk from deviating from the center, thereby facilitating the accurate knotting work, and the positioning opening 621 design allows the konjac silk to have a certain activity space, can move up and down, and can prevent the konjac silk from shaking left and right and deviating from the position.

[0034] It should also be pointed out that the terms used in the present invention, such as "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
