Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shearing equipment technology, specifically a packing strap shearing and recycling mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Strapping straps, also known as binding straps, are a widely used material in packaging and transportation. They are primarily made from raw materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PET polyester, produced through processes like extrusion unidirectional stretching and heat treatment. Their thickness and width are determined by specific needs, and they typically feature high strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistance. Strapping straps include PP strapping and PET strapping, each suitable for packing objects of different weights and requirements. In the logistics industry, strapping straps are used to secure goods to trucks, reducing damage during transportation. In warehousing, they are used to classify, organize, and pack goods, preventing damage and dust contamination. Furthermore, they are widely used in construction, furniture manufacturing, and many other industries.
[0003] Currently, when disassembling packing straps, the method of manually cutting them and recycling them is generally used. When the packing straps are very long, they are not easy to recycle. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and can easily damage the packaging.
[0004] To address this issue, we designed a strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a packing strap cutting and recycling mechanism, including a packing strap body, hook bodies overlapping the lower sides of both ends of the packing strap body, a pneumatic gripper provided on the rear side of the packing strap body, a vision camera provided on the left side of the packing strap body, and a pneumatic scissors provided on the lower side of the packing strap body.
[0007] Furthermore, the front end of the pneumatic scissors is rotatably equipped with rollers.
[0008] Furthermore, a lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the pneumatic scissors.
[0009] Furthermore, a hook lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the hook body.
[0010] Furthermore, a scissor transverse movement cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the pneumatic scissors.
[0011] Furthermore, a housing is fixedly mounted on the top of the vision camera.
[0012] Furthermore, a housing is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hook lifting cylinder, and the lifting cylinder of the mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the housing.
[0013] Furthermore, the pneumatic gripper is positioned between the hook bodies.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the packaging strap body is visually positioned by a vision camera, then the packaging strap body is hooked up by a hook and clamped by a pneumatic gripper. Then, the packaging strap body is cut by a pneumatic shear. While clamped, the robot grabs the packaging strap body and places it above the waste bin. The packaging strap body is transported by a roller clamping drive and, together with the pneumatic shear and pneumatic gripper, the packaging strap body is cut to a fixed length and recycled into the waste bin. The pneumatic shear and pneumatic gripper replace manual cutting of the packaging strap body, avoiding the situation where the packaging strap body is very long, making it difficult to recycle and easily damaging the packaging.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: visual positioning is performed by a vision camera, and then the scissor lateral movement cylinder is activated. The movement of the scissor lateral movement cylinder drives the pneumatic scissors to move to different positions of the packing strap body and cut the packing strap body to obtain packing strap bodies of different lengths. By setting the scissor lateral movement cylinder, packing strap bodies of suitable length can be obtained to pack items, avoiding waste and saving resources. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism, including a strapping tape body 1, hook bodies 7 overlapping the lower sides of both ends of the strapping tape body 1, a pneumatic gripper 3 provided on the rear side of the strapping tape body 1, a vision camera 2 provided on the left side of the strapping tape body 1, a pneumatic scissors 8 provided on the lower side of the strapping tape body 1, a roller 4 rotatably provided at the front end of the pneumatic scissors 8, a mechanism lifting cylinder 5 fixedly provided on the top of the pneumatic scissors 8, a hook lifting cylinder 6 fixedly provided on the top of the hook bodies 7, a housing fixedly provided on the top of the vision camera 2, a housing 10 fixedly provided on the bottom of the hook lifting cylinder 6, the mechanism lifting cylinder 5 fixedly provided on one side of the housing 10, and the pneumatic gripper 3 placed between the hook bodies 7.
[0022] In practical implementation, when using this device, the packaging strap body 1 is first visually positioned by the vision camera 2. Then, the packaging strap body 1 is hooked by the hook body 7 and clamped by the pneumatic gripper 3. Next, the packaging strap body 1 is cut by the pneumatic scissors 8. While clamped, the robot grabs the packaging strap body 1 and places it above the waste bin. The packaging strap body 1 is transported by the clamping drive of the roller 4, and the packaging strap body 1 is cut to a fixed length and recycled into the waste bin in conjunction with the pneumatic scissors 8 and the pneumatic gripper 3. The pneumatic scissors 8 and the pneumatic gripper 3 replace manual cutting of the packaging strap body 1, avoiding the situation where the packaging strap body 1 is very long, which is difficult to recycle and easily damages the packaging.
[0023] See Figure 1-3 As shown, a scissor horizontal movement cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the pneumatic scissors 8.
[0024] In practice, when different lengths of packing strap body 1 are needed, visual positioning is performed using vision camera 2. Then, the scissor lateral movement cylinder 9 is activated. The movement of the scissor lateral movement cylinder 9 drives the pneumatic scissors 8 to move to different positions on the packing strap body 1 and cut the packing strap body 1 to obtain packing strap body 1 of different lengths. By setting the scissor lateral movement cylinder 9, packing strap body 1 of suitable length can be obtained to pack items, avoiding waste and saving resources.
[0025] Furthermore, the vision camera 2 plays a crucial role in the strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism, accurately identifying and locating the strapping tape body 1. Through image processing technology, the vision camera 2 can quickly capture images of the strapping tape body 1 and accurately analyze them to determine its position and status. With the recognition capabilities of the vision camera 2, the strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism can perform recycling operations more efficiently. The vision camera 2 can transmit image data of the strapping tape body 1 in real time, enabling the mechanism to respond quickly and make accurate cutting and recycling actions, improving recycling efficiency and accuracy. The application of the vision camera 2 also helps optimize the performance of the strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism. Through the real-time image feedback provided by the vision camera 2, the mechanism can adjust its operating parameters in a timely manner to ensure the smooth cutting and recycling of the strapping tape body 1, while reducing misoperation and failure rates.
[0026] Furthermore, the pneumatic gripper 3 utilizes compressed air as a power source, making it easy to operate and quick to respond. It can significantly shorten the production cycle of cutting and recycling the strapping body 1, improving the operating efficiency of the production line. The pneumatic gripper 3 has high precision, ensuring the accuracy of each cutting and recycling operation, reducing the defect rate, and improving product consistency. The pneumatic gripper 3 has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, has a long service life, and can work stably in harsh industrial environments, adapting to different strapping body 1 cutting and recycling needs. Compared with electric grippers, the pneumatic gripper 3 has lower energy consumption, meeting the sustainable development requirements of modern manufacturing and helping enterprises achieve green production.
[0027] In addition, the roller 4 plays a supporting and guiding role in the strapping tape body 1 in the strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism, ensuring that the strapping tape body 1 can run smoothly during the cutting and recycling process without deviation or jamming. The design of the roller 4 helps to reduce the resistance of the strapping tape body 1 during operation, making the cutting and recycling of the strapping tape body 1 smoother and improving work efficiency. The roller 4 can prevent the strapping tape body 1 from being damaged unnecessarily during the cutting and recycling process, maintaining the integrity and quality of the strapping tape body 1.
[0028] Furthermore, the lifting cylinder 5, hook lifting cylinder 6, and scissor lateral movement cylinder 9 are important components in the pneumatic actuator. Their working principle is mainly based on converting the pressure energy of compressed gas into mechanical energy. The lifting cylinder 5, hook lifting cylinder 6, and scissor lateral movement cylinder 9 generate pressure on the piston surface by filling with compressed air, which pushes the piston and the linked piston rod to perform reciprocating linear motion or oscillation, thereby converting the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy. Since the lifting cylinder 5, hook lifting cylinder 6, and scissor lateral movement cylinder 9 are existing technologies, this specification will not elaborate on them further.
[0029] Furthermore, during the cutting and recycling process of the packing strap body 1, the hook body 7 plays a role in fixing and supporting the packing strap body 1, ensuring that the packing strap body 1 will not slip or fall off during cutting and recycling, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the operation. The hook body 7 can assist the cutting mechanism in cutting the packing strap body 1 more accurately, improving the efficiency and precision of cutting. When recycling old packing strap body 1, the hook body 7 can help users easily remove the old packing strap body 1, facilitating the reuse of the packing strap body 1 and reducing waste.
[0030] Furthermore, the pneumatic scissors 8, as the core cutting tool in the strapping tape cutting and recycling mechanism, possess powerful cutting force and speed, easily handling strapping tape bodies 1 of various materials and thicknesses, achieving fast and precise cutting. Driven by compressed air, the pneumatic scissors 8 can instantly generate powerful shearing force, quickly completing the cutting action, reducing reliance on the operator's physical strength, and significantly improving work efficiency. The pneumatic scissors 8 has a self-adjusting function, automatically adjusting the cutting force according to the different thicknesses and hardness of the strapping tape body 1, ensuring cutting accuracy and avoiding material waste and tool wear.
[0031] Working principle: When using this device, the visual camera 2 first positions the packing strap body 1 visually. Then, the hook body 7 hooks the packing strap body 1 and the pneumatic gripper 3 clamps it. Next, the pneumatic scissors 8 cuts the packing strap body 1. While it is clamped, the robot picks up the packing strap body 1 and places it above the waste bin. The roller 4 clamps and drives the packing strap body 1 to be transported. The pneumatic scissors 8 and pneumatic gripper 3 cut the packing strap body 1 to a fixed length and recycle it into the waste bin. The pneumatic scissors 8 and pneumatic gripper 3 replace manual cutting of the packing strap body 1, avoiding the situation where the packing strap body 1 is very long, making it difficult to recycle and easily damaging the packaging.
[0032] When different lengths of packing strap body 1 are needed, visual positioning is performed by vision camera 2. Then, the scissor lateral movement cylinder 9 is activated. The movement of the scissor lateral movement cylinder 9 drives the pneumatic scissors 8 to move to different positions of the packing strap body 1 and cut the packing strap body 1 to obtain packing strap body 1 of different lengths. By setting the scissor lateral movement cylinder 9, packing strap body 1 of suitable length can be obtained to pack items, avoiding waste and saving resources.
