[0002] In industries such as metal processing and wood processing, bundling devices can be used to bundle and secure metal rods, wood boards, etc.

[0003] Currently, bundled baling thread is placed on a spool. During operation, the bundled baling thread must first be unpacked and the thread ends removed. The thread ends are then pulled from the spool into the baling machine of the baling device to complete the baling operation. However, during the transmission of the baling thread from the spool into the baling machine, the baling thread often becomes tangled, jammed, or tangled on the baling machine, resulting in a chaotic and disorderly baling situation on site. Operators need to stop the baling machine and spend a lot of time and manpower to sort it out. This not only reduces the working efficiency of the baling machine and increases labor costs, but may also affect the production progress due to frequent machine shutdowns, resulting in a loss of production benefits.

[0004] Therefore, a binding device is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not the entire structure.

[0031] This embodiment discloses a bundling device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the bundling device includes a wire feeding structure 1 and a bundling mechanism 2. The wire feeding structure 1 includes a support 10 and a guide tube 11. The guide tube 11 is spirally wound on the support 10. The two ends of the guide tube 11 are respectively provided with an inlet 111 and an outlet 112. The bundling wire can pass through the inlet 111 and exit through the outlet 112. The bundling mechanism 2 includes a frame 20, a guide assembly 21 and a bundling assembly. The guide assembly 21 and the bundling assembly are both set on the frame 20. The guide assembly 21 can guide the bundling wire that passes through the outlet 112 to the bundling assembly. The bundling assembly is used to bundle the product with the bundling wire.

[0032] When the bundling device is working, the bundling thread enters through the inlet 111 of the guide tube 11 spirally wound on the support 10 of the thread feeding structure 1. After being guided by the spiral of the guide tube 11, it exits through the outlet 112. The guide component 21 of the bundling mechanism 2 guides the bundling thread at the outlet 112 to the bundling component, which then wraps and tightens the bundling thread around the product, completing the bundling. This device, through the spiral design of the guide tube 11, regulates the direction of the bundling thread. Combined with the precise guidance of the guide component 21 and the efficient bundling of the bundling component, it achieves orderly delivery and stable bundling of the bundling thread, significantly improving bundling efficiency, reducing manual intervention and downtime, and lowering production costs.

[0033] In this embodiment, the guide tube 11 is made of metal. This effectively resists frictional wear caused by long-term pulling of the bundling thread, preventing problems such as tube wall wear and cracking, and ensuring the integrity of the bundling thread conveying channel. Simultaneously, the rigidity of the metal makes the guide tube 11 less prone to deformation, maintaining a stable spiral thread routing structure and ensuring smooth passage of the bundling thread from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112. This provides reliable thread supply conditions for the subsequent bundling mechanism 2, improving the overall durability and operational stability of the bundling device.

[0034] In other embodiments, the guide tube 11 may also be made of engineering plastic. Engineering plastic has the advantages of being lightweight and corrosion resistant, which can reduce the weight of the entire binding device. At the same time, it is not easily corroded by chemical substances. The material of the guide tube 11 is not specifically limited here.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the wire feeding structure 1 also includes a base 12 and a support 13. The base 12 is connected to the end of the bracket 10 and supports the bracket 10. The support 13 is disposed on the bracket 10 and spaced apart from the base 12. One end of the guide tube 11 is connected to the support 13, and the other end is connected to the end of the bracket 10 away from the base 12. On the one hand, the base 12 securely connects to the end of the bracket 10, and the support 13 is spaced apart from the base 12 and assists in supporting the guide tube 11, making the guide tube 11 more firmly installed and reducing shaking. On the other hand, the two ends of the guide tube 11 are respectively connected to the support 13 and the end of the bracket 10 away from the base 12, preventing the guide tube 11 from deforming due to its own weight or the traction of the bundling line, ensuring that the bundling line passes smoothly through the guide tube 11, from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112, providing a stable supply of bundling line for the subsequent precise bundling of the bundling mechanism 2, and improving the overall reliability and stability of the bundling device.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the wire feeding structure 1 also includes multiple support columns 14. Multiple first ends of the support columns 14 are connected to the guide tube 11, and multiple second ends of the support columns 14 are connected to the support member 13. The multiple support columns 14 can support the guide tube 11. The multiple support columns 14 connect the guide tube 11 and the support member 13 respectively, forming a stable support structure, enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the wire feeding structure 1, reducing the risk of bundling line jamming, and providing a reliable wire supply guarantee for the efficient operation of the subsequent bundling mechanism 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, there are three support columns 14. The three support columns 14 share the weight of the guide tube 11 from three points, which effectively prevents the guide tube 11 from deforming or shifting due to the pulling of the bundling line or its own weight, and ensures that the bundling line passes smoothly in the guide tube 11 and is transported stably from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112.

[0038] In other embodiments, the number of support columns 14 can also be four, five, six, etc., as long as they can evenly distribute the weight of the guide tube 11, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the support 10 includes a connector 101 and multiple support columns 102. Multiple first ends of the multiple support columns 102 are connected to the base 12 and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the base 12. Multiple second ends of the multiple support columns 102 converge towards the central axis of the base 12 and are all connected to the connector 101. The support 10, with its multiple first ends of the multiple support columns 102 evenly distributed along the circumference of the base 12 and connected to the base 12, and its multiple second ends converging towards the central axis of the base 12 and connected to the connector 101, forms a stable conical support structure. This enhances the overall strength and stability of the support 10, evenly distributing the weight and tension from the guide tube 11 and the bundling line, effectively preventing deformation or tipping of the support 10, ensuring the guide tube 11 is securely installed, providing reliable support for the stable transport of the bundling line from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112, and ensuring the reliable operation of the bundling device.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are four support pillars 102. The four first ends of the four support pillars 102 are evenly distributed around the base 12, and the four second ends converge toward the central axis of the base 12 and are all connected to the connector 101 to form a stable conical support structure. This layout makes the support 10 bear the force evenly, effectively disperses the load, improves the overall load-bearing capacity, and enhances stability.

[0041] In other embodiments, the number of pillars 102 may also be five, six, seven, eight, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the connector 101 is provided with a mounting hole 1011, through which the end of the guide tube 11 can pass and be inserted into the mounting hole 1011. On the one hand, this ensures that the guide tube 11 is firmly fixed on the bracket 10, reducing loosening and displacement caused by vibration or bundling line traction, and ensuring smooth transport of the bundling line within the guide tube 11, allowing it to travel stably from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112, providing a reliable supply of line for the efficient bundling of the subsequent bundling mechanism 2. On the other hand, the mounting hole 1011 on the connector 101 and the end of the guide tube 11 are inserted into each other, enabling quick and accurate positioning and installation, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the guide tube 11.

[0043] In this embodiment, one end of the guide tube 11 with an inlet 111 is connected to the support member 13 via a support column 14, and the other end of the guide tube 11 with an outlet 112 is inserted into the mounting hole 1011. The bundled bundling wire can be sleeved on the bracket 10 and sandwiched between the base 12 and the support member 13. The end of the bundling wire enters from the inlet 111 near the support member 13 and exits from the outlet 112 away from the support member 13.

[0044] In other embodiments, the end of the bundling thread is inserted from the outlet 112 away from the support member 13 and exits from the inlet 111 near the support member 13, thereby reducing the traction tension at the outlet 112 and reducing the risk of wear or breakage of the bundling thread due to pulling. The threading method of the bundling thread is not specifically limited here.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the wire feeding structure 1 also includes a spool 15, which is sleeved on the bracket 10 and clamped between the base 12 and the support member 13. The bundling wire can be sleeved on the spool 15, and the spool 15 can rotate relative to the bracket 10. On the one hand, the spool 15, sleeved on the bracket 10 and clamped between the base 12 and the support member 13, can rotate freely, allowing the bundling wire to move smoothly when being pulled out, effectively preventing wear or breakage of the bundling wire due to rigid friction. On the other hand, the spool 15 plays a role in centrally storing the bundling wire, providing a stable supply of wire to the guide tube 11, and ensuring that the subsequent bundling mechanism 2 completes the bundling operation efficiently and stably.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the guide assembly 21 includes two fixing members 211, a first guide member 212, and a second guide member 213. The two fixing members 211 are spaced apart on the frame 20. The two ends of the first guide member 212 are rotatably connected to the two first ends of the two fixing members 211, and the two ends of the second guide member 213 are rotatably connected to the two second ends of the two fixing members 211. A gap is reserved between the first guide member 212 and the second guide member 213, allowing the bundling thread to pass through. On one hand, the guide assembly 21 rotatably connects the first guide member 212 and the second guide member 213 to the frame 20 through the two fixing members 211. The reserved gap between them provides a precise passage for the bundling thread, ensuring a smooth transition of the bundling thread from the feeding structure 1 to the bundling assembly, improving the smoothness and reliability of the bundling process. On the other hand, the rotatable first guide member 212 and the second guide member 213 can flexibly adapt to the bundling thread conveying angle, reducing frictional resistance and preventing wear on the bundling thread.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, both the first guide 212 and the second guide 213 are hourglass-shaped rollers. On the one hand, the inwardly concave contour of the hourglass-shaped roller can precisely limit the bundling thread, preventing it from shifting or detaching during transport. On the other hand, the roller structure can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing the resistance between the bundling thread and the first guide 212 and the second guide 213, thus reducing wear and the risk of thread breakage.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bundling assembly includes a take-up reel (not shown) and a drive motor (not shown). The output end of the drive motor is connected to the take-up reel, and the drive motor can drive the take-up reel to rotate and wind the bundling thread onto the take-up reel. By driving the take-up reel to rotate and wind the bundling thread, the automatic take-up and storage of the bundling thread can be achieved, which greatly improves bundling efficiency, effectively ensures the bundling quality and stability of the product, and optimizes the overall bundling operation process.

[0049] In summary, the binding process of this binding device is roughly as follows:

[0050] (1) Put the bundle of bundling thread on the spool 15, unbundle the bundle of bundling thread, take out the end of the bundling thread, put the end of the thread into the inlet 111, and after being guided by the spiral of the guide tube 11, it goes out from the outlet 112.

[0051] (2) The end of the bundling wire that comes out from the outlet 112 is inserted into the reserved gap between the first guide 212 and the second guide 213, and the end of the bundling wire is guided to the take-up wheel of the bundling assembly.

[0052] (3) Drive the take-up reel to rotate by the drive motor. The take-up reel is pre-wound with a sufficient amount of bundling thread.

[0053] (4) Drive the take-up wheel to rotate by the drive motor, so that the take-up wheel can accurately release the bundling thread to bundle the product;

[0054] (5) After the bundling is completed, the take-up wheel rotates again to tighten the excess bundling thread to ensure that the bundling is secure.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
