Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of clamps, and in particular to an automatic tape-rewinding clamp. Background Art

[0002] To facilitate storage and shipping, flat packaging materials are strapped with tie wraps before being unpacked and formed. Before the packaging materials are delivered for unpacking and forming, the tie wraps on the incoming materials need to be cut and retracted. Currently, manual cutting and retracting of tie wraps is labor-intensive and inefficient. While patent CN216186686U automates the cutting and retracting process, it requires CCD image recognition before clamping the straps, which is costly. Furthermore, the retracting clamp can only clamp one tie at a time, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an automatic strapping clamp for automating the clamping and retraction of strapping tape in an integrated automatic strapping and stacking machine for packaging boxes. It has a simple structure, low cost, and is suitable for clamping and removing multiple straps at once, with high efficiency. The specific solution is as follows:

[0004] An automatic belt-retracting clamp comprises at least a pair of openable and closable clamping plates, wherein the contact surfaces of the clamping plates are tightly fitted and not smooth.

[0005] Furthermore, the contact surface of the splint is a wedging tooth surface.

[0006] Furthermore, the top end of the splint is flat and vertical.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping plate moves along the x-axis and y-axis in the horizontal plane.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping plate includes a fixed clamping plate and a sliding clamping plate that moves on the x-axis, and the number and position of the fixed clamping plate and the sliding clamping plate can be adjusted.

[0009] Furthermore, when the number of the splints is not less than 2 pairs, the distance between adjacent fixed splints is equal to the distance between corresponding adjacent sliding splints, thereby achieving closure of multiple pairs of splints.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping plate can also be located below the y-axis transmission structure.

[0011] Beneficial effects: This application is applicable to the automatic tape-receiving clamp of the automatic tape cutting and stacking machine for packaging boxes. It does not require visual capture and analysis when clamping the tape. It has a simple structure and low cost. The design of the tooth surface structure and the top structure of the splint contact surface improves the reliability of clamping and tape-receiving. It is suitable for one-time clamping and extraction of multiple binding straps with high efficiency. The splint is located below the Y-axis transmission structure, which makes it easy to fall off the binding strap after the extraction is completed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional diagram of the automatic tape-taking fixture;

[0013] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a sliding splint and a fixed splint. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the implementation regulations described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] The automatic tape-rewinding clamp of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic tape-retracting clamp comprises at least one pair of openable and closable clamping plates 201, the contact surfaces of the clamping plates 201 being tightly fitted and not smooth. Figure 2 As shown, the contact surface of the splint 201 is tightly fitted to ensure secure clamping during the clipping process. Considering that the surface of the binding tape is generally smooth, the contact surface of the splint 201 is not smooth to increase the friction between the binding tape and the splint 201 so that it does not fall off during removal. To achieve a better anti-fall effect, the contact surface of the splint 201 is a wedging tooth surface structure. In this embodiment, the tooth surface is rectangular, but a pointed tooth surface can also be used. The top 209 of the splint 201 is flush and vertical, ensuring that the top 209 of the splint 201 is tightly fitted to the carton during the opening and closing process, facilitating the clipping of the binding tape.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping plate 201 moves along the x-axis and y-axis in the horizontal plane.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping plate 201 includes a fixed clamping plate 202 and a sliding clamping plate 203 that moves along the x-axis. The number and position of the fixed clamping plates 202 and sliding clamping plates 203 are adjustable. The movement of the sliding clamping plates 203 along the x-axis enables the clamping plate 201 to open and close. The fixed clamping plate 202 is fixed to the tape takeup base plate 206, and the sliding clamping plate 203 is fixed to the transmission rod 204. The power unit 205 drives the transmission rod 204 to move along the x-direction via a fixed block 207 fixed to the transmission rod 204, causing the sliding clamping plates 203 to move in the x-direction, thereby opening and closing the clamping plate 201.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, the tape taking-up base plate 206 is connected to the y-axis transmission structure 208 , and the tape taking-up base plate 206 can move along the y-axis, so that the clamping plate 201 can move in the y-axis direction and be pulled away after taking the tape. Figure 1 This is a feasible way for the clamping plate 201 to move along the y-axis.

[0020] In order to clamp multiple binding straps, the number of fixed clamps 202 and sliding clamps 203 can be adjusted according to the number of binding straps. In addition, to ensure that the clamps 201 are aligned with the binding straps for easy clamping, the position of the fixed clamp 202 on the belt receiving base plate 206 along the x-axis and the position of the sliding clamp 203 on the transmission rod 204 along the x-axis can be adjusted.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, when there are at least two pairs of clamping plates 201, the distance between adjacent fixed clamping plates 202 is equal to the distance between corresponding adjacent sliding clamping plates 203, thereby achieving closure of multiple pairs of clamping plates 201. When the movement of multiple sliding clamping plates 203 is controlled by the transmission rod 204, the equal spacing allows each pair of clamping plates 201 to be closed and clamped, ensuring the reliability of clamping multiple binding straps at one time and a simple structure.

[0022] In order to achieve a better extraction effect, the splint 201 in the present application can also be located below the y-axis conveying structure 208. At this time, the belt collecting base plate 206 is also located below the y-axis conveying structure 208. After the splint 201 clamps and extracts the binding belt, the binding belt falls directly to the floor due to gravity, which can avoid the problem of the binding belt falling onto the y-axis conveying structure 208 when the splint 201 is above the y-axis conveying structure 208.

[0023] The following is the use process of the automatic tape take-up fixture:

[0024] The y-axis conveying structure 208 conveys the take-up base plate 206 to the clamping position. Before reaching the clamping position, the number and position of the fixed clamps 202 on the take-up base plate 206 can be adjusted according to the number and position of the binding straps to be clamped, corresponding to the number and position of the binding straps. The number and position of the sliding sliders on the conveying rod 204 are adjusted to correspond to the number and position of the fixed clamps 202, and the distance between adjacent fixed clamps 202 is ensured to be equal to the distance between corresponding adjacent sliding clamps 203. The conveying rod 204 drives the sliding clamps 203 to slide. Before reaching the clamping position, the clamps 201 are in an open state and are located between the corresponding binding straps. The conveying rod 204 drives the sliding clamps 203 to slide to a closed state. Since the top of the clamps 201 are flush and vertical, the clamps 201 can fit tightly against the carton, and when closed, the clamps 201 can completely clamp the binding straps. The y-axis conveying structure 208 is moved away from the belt-collecting bottom plate 206, and the splint 201 is used to extract the binding belt. The contact surface of the splint 201 is tightly fitted and not smooth, which can clamp the binding belt. Considering that the surface of the binding belt is generally smooth, in order to increase the friction between the binding belt and the splint 201 so that it is not easy to fall off during extraction, the contact surface of the splint 201 is a wedging tooth surface. After the extraction is completed, the conveying rod 204 drives the sliding splint 203 to put the splint 201 in an open state, and the binding belt falls off. The splint 201 can also be located below the y-axis conveying structure 208. After the splint 201 clamps and extracts the binding belt, the binding belt falls directly to the floor due to gravity, avoiding the problem of the binding belt falling onto the y-axis conveying structure 208, and the shedding effect is better.

[0025] The automatic tape-receiving clamp in the present application is applicable to the automatic tape cutting and stacking machine for packaging boxes. It does not require visual capture and analysis when clamping the tape, has a simple structure and low cost. The design of the tooth surface structure and the top structure of the clamping plate contact surface improves the reliability of clamping and taking up the tape. It is suitable for one-time clamping and extraction of multiple tapes with high efficiency. The clamping plate is located below the Y-axis transmission structure, which makes it easy to fall off the binding tape after the extraction is completed.
