Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tile packaging equipment technology, and specifically discloses an automated tile binding device. Background Technology

[0002] Tiles are a core material used in building decoration, made of acid and alkali resistant porcelain or stone. Their raw materials are mostly a mixture of clay, quartz sand, and other materials.

[0003] Tiles are produced through processes such as grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering. After production, the tiles need to be packaged. During the packaging process, the packaged tiles are bound and secured with straps to prevent them from loosening and falling or breaking.

[0004] Traditionally, the bundling and packaging of tiles relies mainly on manual operation or semi-automated equipment. This semi-automated equipment includes a feeding structure for the tiles to be packaged, a delivery structure for the packaged tiles, and a gripping structure for the tiles. The feeding structure transports the tiles to the workers' waiting points, where workers manually bundle and package them. The packaged tiles are then transported via the delivery structure, achieving a semi-automated assembly line operation. However, this semi-automated assembly line operation requires workers to perform repetitive tile bundling actions at high frequency, resulting in high labor intensity and increased labor costs.

[0005] This invention provides an automated tile binding device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the traditional tile packaging process is usually completed by semi-automated assembly line operations, which requires workers to perform repetitive actions of bundling tiles at high frequency, resulting in high labor intensity for workers.

The binding device includes a frame located on one side of the turning machine, a module one located on the frame for laying cable ties on the tiles, and a module two for tightening and splitting the cable ties.

[0008] Furthermore, the cable tie is a braided strap, and the module one includes an aluminum profile for mounting, a horizontal sliding component for driving the aluminum profile to slide horizontally along the tile stacking line, a vertical lifting component for driving the horizontal sliding component to rise and fall vertically, and two sets of insert straps and take-up devices respectively fixed on the aluminum profile for mounting.

[0009] Furthermore, the cable tie is a plastic steel strap, and the module includes an aluminum profile for mounting, a horizontal sliding component for driving the aluminum profile to slide horizontally along the tile stacking line, a vertical lifting component for driving the horizontal sliding component to rise and fall vertically, and two sets of plastic steel strap buckle devices respectively fixed to the aluminum profile for mounting.

[0010] Furthermore, the aluminum profile being installed is also equipped with a wooden support gripping mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the second module includes an installation profile, a second horizontal sliding component for driving the installation profile to slide horizontally along the tile stacking line, a second vertical lifting component for driving the second horizontal sliding component to rise and fall vertically, and two sets of tightening devices respectively fixed to the installation profile for tightening the cable ties.

[0012] Furthermore, the cable tie is a braided strap, the tightening device is a braided strap tightening device, and the mounting profile is provided with a ratchet tightener for tightening the braided strap.

[0013] Furthermore, the cable tie is a plastic-coated steel strap, and the tightening device is a plastic-coated steel strap tightening device.

[0014] The principle and effect of this solution are as follows:

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model uses module one in the binding device to first lay cable ties on the flipping machine, then the handling device places the tile to be bound on the cable ties, then module one continues to wrap the cable ties around the tile, and finally module two completes the tightening and splitting of the cable ties to complete the binding of the tile. This solves the problem that the traditional tile packaging process is usually completed by semi-automated assembly line operations, which requires workers to perform repetitive actions of binding tiles at high frequency, resulting in high labor intensity for workers.
