Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a power cord bundling device, and more particularly to a power cord bundling device. Background Technology

[0002] Power strips and various household appliances come with long power cords. These cords must be pre-coiled and secured with cable ties at the factory; otherwise, a long, dangling cord is unsightly, inconvenient, and unsafe. However, existing cable tie methods have the following drawbacks: cable ties are mostly metal wire wrapped in a plastic outer layer. Thick ties are difficult to remove manually, while thinner ones are prone to breakage, peeling, and loss. Furthermore, deformation from previous use results in a poor appearance for reuse, making effective recycling difficult. Existing technologies also employ binding methods such as Velcro, but these typically involve cutting the Velcro into small pieces at the final product stage and then manually binding them; both utilization rate and work efficiency need further improvement.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a high-efficiency power cord bundling device, used to bundle power cords and secure the bundled cords with Velcro straps. The high-efficiency power cord bundling device includes a base 10, a movable seat 20, a feeding device 30, a cutting device 40, a clamping device 50, and a winding assembly 60. The movable seat 20 is mounted on the base 10 and can move horizontally along the base 10. The feeding device is disposed on the base 10, and the clamping device 50 and the winding assembly 60 are both disposed on the movable seat 20, with the winding assembly 60 positioned between the clamping device 50 and the feeding device 30. Furthermore, the cutting device 40 is located above the rear end of the feeding device 30.

[0020] The feeding device 30 has a feeding roller at its front end, on which a loop of Velcro tape 31 is wound. The feeding device 30 has a feeding channel, the cross-section of which is the same as, but slightly larger than, the cross-section of the Velcro tape. A limiting device is located at the rear of the feeding device, comprising an upper limiting block 321 and a lower limiting block 322. The upper limiting block 321 is driven by a cylinder or motor to move closer to or further away from the lower limiting block 322 to clamp or release the Velcro tape. In this embodiment, the lower limiting block 322 is positioned lower than the feeding channel, so that after the Velcro tape is cut, the upper limiting block 321 moves upward, and the end of the Velcro tape is lifted upward, facilitating the clamping device 50 to hold the Velcro tape. Furthermore, the rear end of the lower limiting block 322 is slightly longer than the upper limiting block 321. During cutting, the cutting device 40 acts downward along the end face of the upper limiting block 321 onto the top surface of the lower limiting block 322.

[0021] The cutting device 40 is located behind the limiting device. The cutting device 40 includes a cutting blade, which is driven downwards by a cylinder or motor to cut the Velcro strap. The clamping device 50 includes a gripper 51 and a clamping drive device 52. The gripper 51 is positioned towards the feeding device 30. In this embodiment, the clamping drive is a cylinder-driven mechanism used to move the gripper 51 towards or away from the feeding device 30. Furthermore, the gripper 51 includes an upper gripper 511 and a lower gripper 512. The lower gripper 512 has a protrusion 513 on each side of its outer end and a groove 514 in the middle for guiding the material during clamping.

[0022] The bottom surface of the movable base 20 is provided with a vertically arranged first mounting block 21 and a second mounting block 22 located below the first mounting block 21. The second mounting block 22 is provided with a second driving device 221, which drives the first mounting block 21 to move along the second mounting block 22. The first mounting block 21 is provided with a first driving device 211, which drives the movable base 20 to move along the first mounting block 21.

[0023] The movable seat 20 is provided with a guide rail 23, and the clamping device 50 is mounted on the guide rail 23 and driven to move along the guide rail 23 by a cylinder or motor. The feeding device 30 is suspended near the winding assembly 60, and the movable seat 20 can be partially moved to be directly below the feeding device 30. The winding assembly 60 includes a rotary drive (not shown) and a winding frame 61, and the rotary drive (a conventional drive structure, such as a motor) is used to drive the winding frame 61 to rotate.

[0024] The drive winding frame 61 includes a rotating shaft 611, a base plate 612, a first positioning rod assembly 613, and a winding rod 614. The base plate 612 is located at the top of the rotating shaft 611, and the first positioning rod assembly 613 and the winding rod 614 are respectively located at both ends of the base plate 612. The first positioning rod assembly 613 includes a positioning plate 6131 and two positioning rods 6132 disposed on the positioning plate 6131. ​​The positioning plate 6131 is provided with a first elongated hole 6133, which allows the distance between the two positioning rods 6132 to be adjusted. The base plate 612 is provided with a second elongated hole 615, and the first positioning rod assembly 613 and the winding rod 614 are locked into the second elongated hole 615 by bolts, thereby also allowing the distance between the first positioning rod assembly 613 and the winding rod 614 to be adjusted, thus making it suitable for processing more specifications of products. In addition, a lifting device (not shown) is included. The lifting device is located at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 611 and can drive the rotating shaft 611 to move up and down. The lifting drive is a conventional cylinder or motor structure.

[0025] During operation, the plug end of the power cord is inserted into a positioning rod group 613, and the rotating winding frame 61 causes the power cord to wrap around the outer surface of the first positioning rod group 613 and the winding rod 614; this winding method is a conventional design. The magic tape passes through the feeding roller, the feeding channel, and the limiting device. Since the upper limit block 321 of the limiting device is in the loose state, the magic tape is made of a relatively hard material and the end is raised. The clamping device 50 extends to the end of the magic tape to clamp the end, and pulls it out below the power cord between the first positioning rod group 613 and the winding rod 614; the lifting drive drives the power cord to move downward. At the same time, the clamping device 50 moves towards the feeding device 30, so that the bundle of power cord moves down and wraps inside the magic tape. When the clamping device 50 moves upward to above the bundle of power cord, the end of the magic tape is released, and the magic tape extends to the left. The two protrusions 513 of the gripper 51 guide the magic tape to fit against the top of the power cord. The cutting blade moves downward to cut the magic strip, the moving plate moves towards the overhead structure below the feeding device 30, the bottom surface of the lower limit block 322 forces the left end of the magic strip to tilt to the right and adhere to the bundled power line, and as the moving plate moves to the left, it finally presses against the outer surface of the right end of the magic strip. The clamping device retracts, and the moving seat 20 continues to move to the left until the left end of the magic strip is completely adhered to the outer surface of the right end.

[0026] In summary, this utility model uses automatically cut Velcro straps to bundle power cords instead of cable ties. These Velcro straps are not limited to finished products; they can also be used for semi-finished product transfer, finished product shipping, and bundling power cords that are too long during use. They can be reused multiple times, improving material utilization. The equipment of this utility model can automatically cut and bundle Velcro straps, improving work efficiency to a certain extent. It is highly practical and has significant potential for widespread application.

[0027] The embodiments described above only illustrate some implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
