Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to equipment for forming the end loop of a strapping band, and particularly to a material feeding mechanism for a fully automatic equipment for forming the end loop of a strapping band. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the logistics and transportation industry, the market demand for strapping, as an important tool for securing goods, continues to grow. In the production process of strapping, the forming of the end loops is one of the key steps, directly affecting the product's performance and production efficiency. Traditional strapping end loop forming processes mainly suffer from the following technical problems:

[0003] (1) In the prior art, the forming of the loop at the end of the binding strap is mostly done manually. Workers need to manually fold the end of the binding strap and send it to the sewing station. This method is not only labor-intensive, but also has low production efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern large-scale production.

[0004] (2) Although some automated equipment can realize the automatic conveying of straps, there are still obvious defects in the material pulling and unloading process after the ring is formed. The material pulling mechanism of the existing equipment is often set separately from the unloading mechanism, resulting in complex equipment structure, large footprint, poor coordination between the mechanisms, and easy to cause asynchronous operation.

[0005] (3) After the ring is formed, the binding tape needs to be accurately transferred to the sewing station. In the existing technology, due to the lack of an effective synchronous drive mechanism and a precise positioning device, the binding tape position often deviates, affecting the subsequent sewing quality. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a material feeding and unloading mechanism for a fully automatic binding strap end loop forming device, which can achieve efficient, accurate, and stable conveying and unloading of binding straps, while improving the automation level and production flexibility of the equipment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A fully automatic binding strap end loop forming device includes a material pulling and unloading mechanism, comprising a second strap pulling mechanism and a binding strap unloading mechanism. A first X-axis drive module is disposed below the second strap pulling mechanism and the binding strap unloading mechanism. The first X-axis drive module synchronously drives the second strap pulling mechanism and the binding strap unloading mechanism to move along the moving direction of the binding strap. The binding strap unloading mechanism includes an unloading head, an unloading head lifting drive device, and a second Y-axis transverse movement module. The unloading head is mounted on the unloading head lifting drive device, which is mounted on the second Y-axis transverse movement module. The second Y-axis transverse movement module drives the unloading head to move in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the binding strap, and the unloading head lifting drive device drives the unloading head to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding head is provided with an adsorption hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a suction adjustment gear is provided inside the feeding head.

[0011] Furthermore, the second strap mechanism includes a strap clamping assembly and a first Y-axis drive module, wherein the first Y-axis drive module drives the strap clamping assembly to move in a direction perpendicular to the strap movement.

[0012] Furthermore, the strap clamping assembly includes a movable clamping plate, a fixed clamping plate, and a movable clamping plate lifting drive device. The movable clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate are arranged opposite each other vertically, and the movable clamping plate lifting drive device drives the movable clamping plate to move closer to or away from the fixed clamping plate.

[0013] Furthermore, both the movable clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate are provided with a third clearance portion.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0015] (1) The second pulling mechanism and the strapping unloading mechanism are synchronously driven by the first X-axis drive module, realizing the coordinated operation of pulling and unloading actions; eliminating the waiting time caused by the asynchronous action between mechanisms in traditional equipment, and shortening the cycle of a single operation.

[0016] (2) The second Y-axis transverse module and the unloading head lifting drive device constitute a precision two-dimensional motion system. It can achieve precise positioning of the unloading head in the vertical plane. This ensures that the formed ring can be accurately transferred to the sewing station, reducing the sewing defect rate.

[0017] (3) The material pulling and unloading functions are integrated into the same drive module, which reduces the equipment footprint and facilitates production line layout optimization. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain this application and are not configured to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples of this application.

[0023] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0024] It should be understood that when describing the structure of a component, when referring to a layer or region as being "above" or "on top of" another layer or region, it can mean that it is directly above the other layer or region, or that it contains other layers or regions between it and the other layer or region. Furthermore, if the component is flipped over, that layer or region will be located "below" or "under" the other layer or region.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, a fully automatic binding strap end loop forming device includes a material pulling and unloading mechanism, comprising a second strap pulling mechanism 400 and a binding strap unloading mechanism 600. A first X-axis drive module 800 is disposed below the second strap pulling mechanism 400 and the binding strap unloading mechanism 600, and the first X-axis drive module 800 synchronously drives the second strap pulling mechanism 400 and the binding strap unloading mechanism 600 to move along the moving direction of the binding strap.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the second strap mechanism 400 includes a strap clamping assembly 410 and a first Y-axis drive module 420. The first Y-axis drive module 420 drives the strap clamping assembly 410 to move in a direction perpendicular to the strap movement. The strap clamping assembly 410 includes a movable clamping plate 411, a fixed clamping plate 412, and a movable clamping plate lifting drive device 413. The movable clamping plate 411 and the fixed clamping plate 412 are arranged vertically opposite each other. The movable clamping plate lifting drive device 413 drives the movable clamping plate to move closer to or away from the fixed clamping plate 412. Both the movable clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate 412 are provided with a third clearance portion 414.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the strap unloading mechanism 600 includes a unloading head 610, a unloading head lifting drive device 620, and a second Y-axis transverse module 630. The unloading head 610 is mounted on the unloading head lifting drive device 620, and the unloading head lifting drive device 620 is mounted on the second Y-axis transverse module 630. The second Y-axis transverse module 630 drives the unloading head to move in a direction perpendicular to the strap movement, and the unloading head lifting drive device 620 drives the unloading head to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, an adsorption hole 640 is provided at the bottom of the feeding head, and a suction adjustment gear 650 is provided inside the feeding head. The purpose of providing the adsorption hole 640 in this embodiment is to allow for printed markings on the surface of the strap. Mechanical clamping or pushing can easily cause surface scratches or indentations, while the adsorption method minimizes the risk of surface damage through uniformly distributed negative pressure contact.

[0030] The adsorption holes 640 are typically small holes evenly distributed at the bottom of the feed head. Their diameter and spacing are designed according to actual needs, generally with a smaller diameter to ensure sufficient suction. The shape of the adsorption holes 640 can be circular, square, etc., but circular is the most common, as this allows for a more uniform distribution of suction. The adsorption holes 640 are connected to the air passage inside the feed head. The air passage can be a separate channel or an interconnected cavity, used to transmit suction to the adsorption holes 640.

[0031] The suction adjustment gear 650 is typically installed inside the discharge head and connected to a valve or regulating device in the air circuit. Its working principle is as follows: The suction adjustment gear 650 engages with a rack and pinion mechanism on the valve. When the gear rotates, it changes the valve opening. The valve opening directly affects the gas flow rate in the air circuit, thereby adjusting the suction force at the suction orifice 640. For example, when a stronger suction is needed to adsorb heavier or smoother strapping, rotating the suction adjustment gear 650 increases the valve opening, increasing the gas flow rate in the air circuit and thus increasing the suction force at the suction orifice 640. Conversely, when adsorbing lighter strapping or when lower suction requirements are needed, rotating the suction adjustment gear 650 decreases the valve opening, reducing the suction force at the suction orifice 640.

[0032] The working principle of this application is as follows:

[0033] First, the first X-axis drive module 800 synchronously drives the second pull-belt mechanism 400 and the strap unloading mechanism 600 to move along the strap movement direction. The second pull-belt mechanism 400 is laterally positioned by the first Y-axis drive module 420, and the strap is clamped by the movable clamping plate 411 and the fixed clamping plate 412. Its third avoidance part 414 ensures that it avoids the ring forming area. The strap unloading mechanism 600 is precisely positioned by the second Y-axis transverse module 630. The suction hole 640 at the bottom of the unloading head 610 achieves non-damaging suction. The unloading head lifting drive device 620 controls the lifting action. During operation, after the second pull-belt mechanism 400 precisely clamps the strap, the first X-axis drive module 800 synchronously moves the two mechanisms. The second pull-belt mechanism clamps the strap to the sewing machine head for the sewing process, and the unloading head 610 completes the unloading through negative pressure suction.

In the description of the embodiments of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise precisely specified.
