[0033] The frame includes a frame body 11, a table board 12 and a mounting board 13. The frame body 11 is used to support the entire device, and the table board 12 and the mounting board 13 are used to mount a conveying assembly, a guiding assembly, a clamping assembly, a cutting assembly, a photographing assembly and a controller. A waste dropping hole 121 is provided on the table board 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly is mounted on the upper rear side of the mounting board 13, and the clamping assembly is mounted on the lower front side of the mounting board 13 and in front of the conveying assembly; the cutting assembly 60 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting board 13 and between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, the camera 51 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting board 13 and in front of the clamping assembly, and the light source board 52 is mounted on the lower end of the mounting board 13 and directly below the camera 51.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, a total of 10 guiding assemblies are provided in this embodiment. The 10 guiding assemblies are sequentially rotatably arranged on the mounting board 13 along the conveying direction of the packaging tape. The first guiding assembly 31 is a light roller and is arranged at the front end of the mounting board 13 for guiding the packaging tape into the frame; the second guiding assembly 32 is arranged at the upper rear side of the first guiding assembly 31, and the third guiding assembly 33 is slidably arranged up and down below the second guiding assembly 32 at the rear side to provide a tension force when the packaging tape moves, which is beneficial to positioning and cutting off the defective part of the packaging tape; the fourth guiding assembly 34 and the seventh guiding assembly 37 are respectively arranged on both sides of the camera 51 and each includes a smooth guide roller and a rubber pressure roller; the fifth guiding assembly 35 and the sixth guiding assembly 36 are respectively mounted on both sides of the light source board 52 for making the packaging tape run along the upper side of the light source board.

The two cutters 64 are arranged in parallel, and the distance between them is equal to the distance of 3 or 5 packaged straws (spoons). Since the packaging bag size of a single defective straw or spoon is small and the cutting distance is insufficient, it is necessary to cut off 1-2 good straws or spoons on both sides of the defect, depending on the packaging size.

[0038] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the first clamping member 41 includes a moving seat 414, a first lower clamping plate 413, a first upper clamping plate 412 and a first clamping plate driving cylinder 411; the first lower clamping plate 413 is horizontally installed on the top surface of the moving seat 414, and the first clamping plate driving cylinder 411 is installed above the rear side of the moving seat 414 (the side close to the mounting plate 13) through a cylinder bracket and a connecting plate 416, and the cylinder piston rod extends vertically downward to connect the first upper clamping plate 412, and a first clamping opening is formed between the first upper clamping plate 412 and the first lower clamping plate 413.

[0040] The camera 51, the conveyor motor, the cutting cylinder 61, the first clamping plate driving cylinder 411, the second clamping plate driving cylinder 421, the hot melt strip 43 and the servo motor 71 are respectively connected to the controller 80 through wires. The controller 80 is preferably a PLC controller, and its control method is the prior art. An image recognition module is provided in the controller 80. The image recognition module compares the image collected by the camera with the standard image to determine whether there are defects in the packages in the packaging tape. The standard image is a picture of the packaging tape with good straws or spoons. This technology is the prior art, and its principle will not be elaborated.

[0041] When the device is in use:

[0042] The straw packaging tape or the spoon packaging tape is driven by the conveying assembly and moves along the first guiding assembly 31 - the tenth guiding assembly 310. The camera 51 continuously takes pictures of the moving packaging tape and transmits the picture-taking information to the controller 80. When the controller determines that a certain section of the packaging tape is lacking a straw or a spoon, or there are surface defects such as hair on the straw or the spoon, it calculates the time for the packaging tape to move from the detection point to the cutting point. When the time arrives, it controls the first clamping plate driving cylinder 411 and the second clamping plate driving cylinder 421 to act, clamps the defective packaging tape between the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and at the same time, the hot melt strip 43 is electrified and the conveying motor stops rotating. Then, the piston rod of the cutting cylinder 61 extends, driving the cutter to cut the two ends of the defective part of the packaging tape downward. The cut waste falls into the waste collection box through the waste dropping hole 121;

[0043] After cutting is completed, the cutting cylinder 61 retracts, driving the cutter back to the initial position. The servo motor 71 starts, driving the first clamping member 41 to move towards the second clamping member 42. The two ends of the packaging tape from which the defective part has been cut approach and are hot melt-connected into one body through the hot melt strip 43. At the same time, the servo motor 71 stops rotating;

[0044] After hot melting is completed, the hot melt strip 43 is powered off, and the servo motor 71 rotates in the reverse direction, driving the first clamping member 41 back to the initial position; the servo motor 71 stops rotating, and the conveying motor starts, driving the packaging tape to continue moving.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] Refer to Figure 5 , this embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that the cutting assembly includes a first cutter 601 and a second cutter 602, and the first cutter and the second cutter are respectively driven by a first rotary cylinder and a second rotary cylinder to rotate and cut the two ends of the defective part of the packaging tape.

[0047] The first rotary cylinder and the second rotary cylinder are not shown in the figure. The first rotary cylinder is arranged on the moving seat 414 of the first clamping member 41 and moves together with the first clamping member 41. The second rotary cylinder is arranged on the fixed seat 424 of the second clamping member 42; when the servo motor 71 drives the first clamping member 41 to move towards the second clamping member 42 to the cutting position, the first rotary cylinder and the second rotary cylinder are started simultaneously, driving the first cutter and the second cutter to rotate relative to each other, and cutting off the two ends of the defective part of the packaging tape clamped between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
