Abstract
Description
An elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of elastic rope combination tag hanging, specifically an expansion support mechanism for elastic rope combination tag hanging. Background Technology
[0002] In the product manufacturing process, hanging tags are a crucial step in the packaging process, especially for products like cooking oil bottles and wine bottles. Hang tags not only carry brand information but also serve as an important way for consumers to learn about the product. Currently, hang tags are mainly divided into two types: one-piece hang tags and combination hang tags. One-piece hang tags, due to their fixed structure and uniform materials, have largely achieved automated hanging. However, hang tags using a combination of elastic cord and cardboard, due to their varied shapes, flexible cord materials, and, importantly, inconsistent cord form, cannot yet be automatically hung.
[0003] In existing technologies, the production of modular hang tags is typically completed offline by suppliers or outsourced equipment. During the production process, elastic cords are threaded into the hang tags and knotted to form a complete finished hang tag. During transportation and transfer to the production line, the presence of the cords easily leads to tangling of the hang tags, especially the knotting and tangling of the cord ends, further increasing the difficulty of subsequent hanging operations.
[0004] In addition, when the elastic rope is stretched, multiple drive components are generally used to drive multiple support rods to achieve the stretching action. This can easily lead to uneven movement speeds of the multiple support rods when they are performing the stretching action. Furthermore, the existing drive components are generally set horizontally, which results in a large amount of space being occupied when a large stretching area is required. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism includes:
[0008] The base and support frame are driven to move by a lifting drive component mounted on the base to achieve vertical position changes.
[0009] Multiple struts are connected to sliding members mounted on the support frame, and the sliding members are connected to a spreading drive member mounted on the support frame via a connecting rod.
[0010] A pusher component, mounted on the support frame, is used to push the elastic rope that is being stretched by the strut to detach from the strut.
[0011] The elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism as described above: the support frame includes a receiving platform and a receiving seat, and the receiving seat is connected to the movable end of the lifting drive component;
[0012] The receiving platform and the receiving seat are fixed by at least two support frames, and a placement space is formed between the receiving platform and the receiving seat.
[0013] The elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism described above: multiple support rods are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference.
[0014] The elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism as described above: the sliding component includes a slide rail installed on the receiving platform and a slide block slidably connected to the slide rail, and the slide block is fixed to the support rod by a mounting bracket;
[0015] The slide is hinged to one end of the connecting rod.
[0016] The elastic cord combination tag hanging expansion mechanism as described above: the expansion drive component includes:
[0017] A second cylinder is placed within the placement space and fixed to the receiving seat, and the movable end of the second cylinder is fixed with a movable seat;
[0018] The other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the movable seat.
[0019] The elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism as described above: the pushing component includes a pushing member disposed above the receiving platform and at least two third cylinders installed on the receiving platform, the movable end of the third cylinder passing through the receiving platform and fixedly connected to the pushing member.
[0020] The elastic rope combination tag hanging expansion mechanism described above: the pushing member includes multiple push plates and a fixed shaft, one end of the multiple push plates is fixed on the fixed shaft, and the included angle between two adjacent push plates is the same.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] The convergence of multiple struts facilitates insertion of the struts into the rope gaps. The arrangement of multiple struts, sliding parts, and connecting rods ensures uniform movement of the struts, resulting in even force distribution when the elastic rope is stretched. This mitigates the risk of damage caused by uneven force distribution. Furthermore, the combination of sliding parts, connecting rods, and stretching drive components transforms horizontal drive into vertical drive, reducing space requirements, improving control, and enhancing practicality.
[0023] Through the precise action of the first cylinder, the support rod can be smoothly inserted into the elastic rope, avoiding the problem of tag shifting or jamming caused by unstable insertion. Secondly, the coordinated action of the expansion drive and the connecting rod enables the support rod to accurately expand the elastic rope, ensuring that the elastic rope will not be damaged due to uneven force during the transfer process.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.
[0032] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.
[0033] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-5. In this embodiment of the present invention, an elastic rope combination tag hanging support mechanism includes:
[0035] The base 1 and the support frame are driven to move by a lifting drive unit installed on the base 1 to achieve vertical position changes.
[0036] Multiple support rods 6 are connected to sliding members installed on the support frame. The sliding members are connected to an opening drive member installed on the support frame via a connecting rod 10. Preferably, the multiple support rods 6 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference.
[0037] A pusher component, mounted on the support frame, is used to push the elastic rope that is stretched open by the support rod 6 to disengage from the support rod 6.
[0038] The lifting drive component includes a first cylinder 2 mounted on the base 1, and the movable rod of the first cylinder 2 is fixed to the support frame.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first cylinder 2 drives the support frame and the entire assembly mounted on the support frame to move up and down, thereby moving the support rod 6 to insert into the rope gap of the elastic rope. In the initial state, the multiple support rods 6 abut against each other and gather together. After the support rod 6 is inserted into the rope gap, the spreading drive member drives the sliding member to move through the connecting rod 10, so as to spread the multiple support rods 6, thereby spreading the elastic rope. The pushing component is used to push the spread elastic rope to the hanging mechanism, thereby realizing the spreading effect of the elastic rope.
[0040] In this invention, the multiple support rods 6 converge to facilitate insertion of the support rods 6 into the rope gap. The arrangement of multiple support rods 6, sliding member, and connecting rod 10 ensures uniform movement of the multiple support rods 6, resulting in uniform force distribution when the elastic rope is stretched. This eliminates the phenomenon of damage to the elastic rope due to uneven force distribution to a certain extent. Furthermore, the arrangement of sliding member, connecting rod 10, and stretching drive member transforms horizontal drive into vertical drive, reducing space occupation to a certain extent, making control convenient and highly practical.
[0041] Through the precise action of the first cylinder 2, the support rod 6 can be smoothly inserted into the elastic rope, avoiding the problem of tag offset or jamming caused by unstable insertion. Secondly, the coordinated action of the expansion drive and the connecting rod 10 enables the support rod 6 to accurately expand the elastic rope, ensuring that the elastic rope will not be damaged due to uneven force during the transfer process.
[0042] Furthermore, the support frame includes a receiving platform 3 and a receiving seat 13, the receiving seat 13 being connected to the movable end of the lifting drive component; the receiving platform 3 and the receiving seat 13 are fixed by at least two support frames 14, and a placement space is formed between the receiving platform 3 and the receiving seat 13.
[0043] Further, please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 4. The sliding member includes a slide rail 4 mounted on the receiving platform 3 and a slide seat 5 slidably connected to the slide rail 4. The slide seat 5 is fixed to the support rod 6 by the mounting bracket 12, and the slide seat 5 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 10.
[0044] Preferably, the multiple slide rails 4 are equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction. When the connecting rod 10 moves, it drives the slide block 5 to move, thereby driving the support rod 6 to move, so as to realize the folding or expansion of the multiple support rods 6.
[0045] The aforementioned spreading drive includes a second cylinder 8 placed within the placement space and fixed to the receiving seat 13, with a movable seat 9 fixed to the movable end of the second cylinder 8;
[0046] The other end of the connecting rod 10 is hinged to the movable seat 9.
[0047] When multiple support rods 6 need to expand, the second cylinder 8 drives the movable seat 9 to move upward in the vertical direction, thereby driving multiple sliding seats 5 to expand outward through the action of the connecting rod 10, and then driving multiple support rods 6 to expand synchronously, so as to expand the elastic rope. When multiple support rods 6 need to retract, the second cylinder 8 drives the movable seat 9 to move downward in the vertical direction, thereby driving multiple sliding seats 5 to retract inward through the action of the connecting rod 10, and then driving multiple support rods 6 to retract synchronously, so that multiple support rods 6 return to their initial position (mutually abutting and gathering together).
[0048] The movable seat 9 is connected to multiple sliding seats 5 through multiple connecting rods 10. When the movable seat 9 moves, it can drive multiple sliding seats 5 to move synchronously, so as to achieve uniformity of the moving speed of multiple support rods 6 and ensure that the elastic rope is subjected to uniform force when it is stretched.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The pushing component includes a pushing member 7 disposed above the receiving platform 3 and at least two third cylinders 11 installed on the receiving platform 3. The movable end of the third cylinder 11 passes through the receiving platform 3 and is fixedly connected to the pushing member 7.
[0050] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to FIG6, the pusher 7 includes a plurality of push plates 702 and a fixed shaft 701. One end of the plurality of push plates 702 is fixed on the fixed shaft 701, and the included angle between two adjacent push plates 702 is the same.
[0051] The pusher 7 is driven to move upward by the third cylinder 11, thereby pushing the elastic rope on the multiple support rods 6 upward to disengage it from the support rods 6, thus realizing the transfer of the elastic rope after it is opened.
[0052] It should be noted that, since the slide block 5 is fixed to the support rod 6 through the mounting bracket 12, the end of the support rod 6 facing the receiving platform 3 is at a certain distance from the upper surface of the receiving platform 3, so that the setting of the pusher 7 will not interfere with it when multiple support rods 6 are retracted or spread out.
[0053] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0054] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
