Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated equipment technology, specifically to an automated ceramic strapping and mounting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In tile factories, when products are being stacked off the production line, they are usually bundled together to prevent them from falling and causing danger or loss.

[0003] Existing automated ceramic strapping and traying machines employ slightly different strapping methods depending on the strapping material. When using PP polypropylene strapping, the automatic strapping machine typically tightens, cuts, and heat-melts the strapping to achieve the binding and packaging. However, the consumables used are not recyclable, and the strapping machines are expensive, increasing operating costs. Some machines use flat woven strapping, which is tightened using a ratchet tensioner. Due to the special structure of the ratchet tensioner, manual tightening is usually required, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, individual differences in strapping force make it impossible to standardize the binding, thus reducing the binding quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated ceramic strapping and mounting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated ceramic strapping and mounting machine, comprising a fixed frame, a first Z-axis assembly disposed on the outer side of the fixed frame, a guide frame disposed on the outer side of the first Z-axis assembly, a second Z-axis assembly disposed on the side away from the fixed frame, an X-axis assembly disposed on the outer side of the second Z-axis assembly, a connecting frame disposed on the outer side of the X-axis assembly, and further comprising:

[0006] Two sets of power components are symmetrically arranged on the top of the guide frame. A connecting plate is provided on the outer side of each set of power components. A drive component is provided on the top of the connecting plate. A movable baffle is provided on the outer side of the drive component. Two fixed baffles are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the guide frame. A rotating top shaft and a connecting component are provided on the inner side of each of the two fixed baffles. A fixed component is provided on the outer side of the movable baffle. A ratchet tensioner is provided on the outer side of the rotating top shaft.

[0007] Two connecting shells are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the connecting frame. The outer side of the connecting shell is provided with a strap threading assembly, and the inner side of the connecting shell is provided with a winder for winding the braided tape. The bottom of the connecting shell is provided with a limit groove, and the top of the connecting shell is provided with a limit assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the power assembly includes a mounting plate fixed to the top of the guide frame, a first cylinder is provided on one side of the mounting plate, and the piston rod of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor disposed on the top of the connecting plate, the output end of the motor is provided with a coupling, and a wrench is provided on the outside of the coupling.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing assembly includes two fixing rods fixed to one side of the movable baffle, and the inner side of the fixing baffle has two fixing grooves, with the outer side of the fixing rods slidably connected to the inner side of the fixing grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a bearing disposed on the outside of the rotating top shaft, and a gasket is disposed on the inner side of the fixed baffle.

[0012] Preferably, the threading assembly includes a second cylinder disposed on one side of the connecting shell, and the piston rod of the second cylinder is fixedly connected with a pin.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting component includes a mounting groove formed on the top of the connecting shell, and a limiting plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention utilizes a wrench with a protrusion aligned with the central groove of the ratchet tensioner's shaft. Engagement occurs under the push of a first cylinder. Since the ratchet tensioner's ratchet can only rotate in one direction, it cannot rotate in reverse after engagement, causing the motor current to increase. The program controls the motor to rotate forward until the take-up groove in the ratchet tensioner is perpendicular to the ground. Subsequently, a second cylinder pushes a pin, carrying the braided belt, into the take-up groove of the ratchet tensioner. The pin then retracts from the take-up groove, and after the connecting frame rises to the appropriate position, the motor rotates forward, causing the ratchet tensioner to tighten the braided belt. When the motor feedback torque is sufficient, the braided belt is fully tightened, securing the goods. This system achieves standardized binding force, improving binding quality. Driven by the power system, the guide frame approaches the stacked goods. The X-axis assembly and connecting frame rise along the Z-axis under the drive of the second Z-axis assembly. When they rise higher than the stacked goods, the connecting frame moves towards the guide frame under the drive of the X-axis assembly. After reaching directly above the guide frame, it descends along the Z-axis to a suitable position and automatically stops, causing the woven strap to wrap around the goods. Due to its simple structure and high integration, this equipment is cheaper than a baling machine. At the same time, the use of woven straps for binding reduces consumable costs, thereby lowering the operating cost. Attached Figure Description

Includes: two sets of power components 7 symmetrically arranged on the top of the guide frame 3, each set of power components 7 having a connecting plate 8 on its outer side. Through the connecting plate 8, the piston rod of the first cylinder 72 moves, driving the drive component 9 to move via the connecting plate 8; the top of the connecting plate 8 has the drive component 9, and the outer side of the drive component 9 has a movable baffle 10; two fixed baffles 11 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the guide frame 3, each fixed baffle 11 having a rotating top shaft 13 and a connecting component 14 on its inner side. Through the rotating top shaft 13, the rotating top... The protrusion on one side of shaft 13 is directly opposite the central groove of the ratchet tensioner 20, which can limit the ratchet tensioner 20 when tightening the braided belt; a fixing component 12 is provided on the outer side of the movable baffle 10, and a ratchet tensioner 20 is provided on the outer side of the rotating top shaft 13. By setting the ratchet tensioner 20, which is composed of ratchet, pawl, belt take-up groove and shaft, the ratchet tensioner 20 uses the interaction of ratchet and pawl to make the braided belt pass through the ratchet assembly, gradually tightening and fixing the braided belt. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here; symmetrical arrangement Two connecting shells 15 are located on the outside of the connecting frame 6. A strapping assembly 16 is provided on the outside of the connecting shell 15, and a retractor 17 for winding the braided tape is provided on the inside of the connecting shell 15. The retractor 17 has a long and narrow groove at its central axis to fix one end of the braided tape. When in use, one end of the braided tape is inserted into the groove and the retractor 17 is rotated clockwise to make the braided tape roll up along the inner axis of the retractor 17. A limiting groove 18 is provided at the bottom of the connecting shell 15, and a limiting assembly 19 is provided at the top of the connecting shell 15.

[0024] The power assembly 7 includes a mounting plate 71 fixed to the top of the guide frame 3. A first cylinder 72 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 71. When the piston rod of the first cylinder 72 moves, it can move the drive assembly 9 and the movable baffle 10 through the connecting plate 8. The piston rod of the first cylinder 72 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 8. The drive assembly 9 includes a motor 91 provided on the top of the connecting plate 8. When the motor 91 is provided, it can drive the ratchet tensioner 20 to tighten the braided belt through the wrench 93. A coupling 92 is provided at the output end of the motor 91. A wrench 93 is provided on the outer side of the coupling 92. When the wrench 93 is engaged, the protrusion on the wrench 93 is aligned with the center groove of the ratchet tensioner 20 shaft. The motor 91 can drive the ratchet tightener 20 to tighten the braided belt; the fixing assembly 12 includes two fixing rods 121 fixed to one side of the movable baffle 10, and two fixing grooves 122 are opened on the inner side of the fixed baffle 11, and the outer side of the fixing rod 121 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixing groove 122. By setting the fixing assembly 12, after the fixing rod 121 enters the inner side of the fixing groove 122, the stability of the connection between the movable baffle 10 and the fixed baffle 11 can be improved; the connecting assembly 14 includes a bearing 141 set on the outer side of the rotating top shaft 13, and a gasket 142 is set on the inner side of the fixed baffle 11. By setting the connecting assembly 14, the bearing 141 is set at one end of the rotating top shaft 13, which can improve the stability of the rotating top shaft 13 and the ratchet tightener 20 when rotating.

[0025] The threading assembly 16 includes a second cylinder 161 disposed on one side of the connecting housing 15. The piston rod of the second cylinder 161 is fixedly connected to a pin 162. By setting the threading assembly 16, the second cylinder 161 pushes the pin 162 to insert the braided belt into the take-up groove of the ratchet tensioner 20. Then the pin 162 is withdrawn from the take-up groove, so that the braided belt is connected to the ratchet tensioner 20. The limiting assembly 19 includes a mounting groove 191 opened on the top of the connecting housing 15. A limiting plate 192 is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting groove 191. By setting the limiting assembly 19, the limiting plate 192 slides along the inner side of the mounting groove 191, making it easy to open the connecting housing 15 and take out the retractor 17.

[0026] Working principle: In use, the operator first threaded one end of the braided belt into the retractor 17, placed the ratchet tensioner 20 on the guide frame 3, and adjusted its position so that the protrusion of the rotating top shaft 13 was aligned with the center groove of the rotating shaft of the ratchet tensioner 20. Then, the first cylinder 72 pushed the movable baffle 10 and the drive assembly 9 installed inside it closer to the fixed baffle 11, so that the two fixed rods 121 entered the inner side of the fixed groove 122. When the protrusion of the wrench 93 contacted the ratchet, it tightened. When the shaft of the ratchet tensioner 20 rotates, the motor 91 starts, driving the coupling 92 and the wrench 93 to rotate in reverse until the protrusion on the wrench 93 is aligned with the center groove of the ratchet tensioner 20 shaft and engages under the push of the first cylinder 72. Since the ratchet of the ratchet tensioner 20 can only rotate in one direction, it cannot rotate in reverse after engagement. The current of the motor 91 increases, and the program controls the motor 91 to rotate in the forward direction until the take-up groove in the ratchet tensioner 20 is perpendicular to the ground. Then the assembly line begins to stack. After stacking, the guide frame 3... Driven by the power system, the X-axis assembly 5 and the connecting frame 6 approach the stacked goods. Driven by the second Z-axis assembly 4, they rise along the Z-axis. When they rise higher than the stacked goods, the connecting frame 6 moves towards the guide frame 3 under the drive of the X-axis assembly 5. After reaching directly above the guide frame 3, it descends along the Z-axis to a suitable position and stops automatically. At this time, the braided belt wraps around the goods. Then, the second cylinder 161 pushes the pin 162 to insert the braided belt into the take-up groove of the ratchet tensioner 20. Then, the pin 162 exits from the take-up groove. After the connecting frame 6 rises to a suitable position, the motor 91 rotates forward, driving the ratchet tensioner 20 to tighten the braided belt. When the motor 91 provides sufficient torque, the braided belt is tightened and the goods are bound. The first cylinder 72 drives the movable baffle 10 and the drive assembly 9 to disengage from the fixed baffle 11. The ratchet tensioner 20 then disengages from its limit position. The power drive system returns to the initial position along the original path, and the bound goods are unloaded, completing the binding action.
