Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fishing gear manufacturing technology, and in particular to a flexible line dispensing and cutting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the hook-line assembly stage of fishing tackle production, after the hook and line are bound together, the binding points need to be reinforced with adhesive to prevent the line from coming loose. The line is then cut to a predetermined length to form fishing tackle components that meet specifications. This process has clear requirements for processing precision, consistency, and production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, this process is mainly completed manually: workers hold the fishhook and fishing line manually, apply glue to the binding point using a manual glue applicator such as a glue bottle, and after the glue has initially solidified, they manually cut the fishing line with tools such as scissors and knives. The entire process relies on manual judgment of the glue application location, amount of glue, and length of the fishing line to be cut.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that relying on manual judgment of the glue application location, glue amount, and fishing line cutting length will result in errors in product specifications and make it difficult to standardize them. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a flexible line dispensing and cutting mechanism to improve the problem of inconsistent product specifications caused by manual judgment of dispensing position, amount of glue, and cutting length of fishing line.

[0006] The flexible thread dispensing and cutting mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A flexible wire dispensing and cutting mechanism includes a mounting bracket and a movable frame mounted on the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is provided with a linear module one that drives the movable frame to move along the length direction of the mounting bracket. The movable frame is provided with a dispensing head, and a soldering iron cutting head is provided on one side of the dispensing head. A linear module two is provided on the side of the movable frame facing the dispensing head. The linear module two is provided with a connecting plate that is connected to the dispensing head and the soldering iron cutting head. The linear module two is arranged perpendicular to the linear module one and drives the connecting plate to move up and down along the mounting bracket.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the linear module one drives the entire moving frame to move horizontally, which can flexibly adjust the working position. The linear module two drives the dispensing head and the soldering iron cutting head to rise and fall, realizing the movement of the dispensing head and the soldering iron cutting head in the X and Z axis directions. This ensures that the two can accurately dispense glue to the binding position of the fishing line and the fishing hook during operation, and then cut the fishing line, improving the continuity and efficiency of the operation. The module drive improves the position control accuracy and reduces the product specification and size errors caused by manual operation.

[0009] Optionally, a pair of height slides with fine-tuning distance are provided on one side of the connecting plate, and a mounting bracket connected to the dispensing head is provided on the side of one of the height slides facing the dispensing head, and a mounting plate connected to the soldering iron cutting head is provided on the other height slide.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of a pair of height slides enables the independent fine-tuning function of the dispensing head and the soldering iron cutting head on the Y-axis. The dispensing head and the cutting head are connected by the mounting bracket and the mounting plate respectively. The distance between the two on the Y-axis can be adjusted separately according to the dispensing amount or cutting depth requirements, avoiding the problem of insufficient compatibility caused by fixing the two, and ensuring the dimensional accuracy of dispensing and cutting.

[0011] Optionally, a drive cylinder is provided on the side of the mounting plate away from the height slide, and a bending plate connected to the drive end of the drive cylinder is provided on the side of the drive cylinder away from the mounting plate. A second mounting bracket connected to the cutting head of the soldering iron is provided on the side wall of the bending plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive cylinder drives the soldering iron cutting head to achieve independent and rapid extension and retraction through the bending plate. This can quickly drive the cutting head to perform cutting operations after dispensing, shortening the interval time between dispensing and cutting, and improving the work rhythm.

[0013] Optionally, the second mounting bracket is provided with a guide plate on the side facing the bent plate, the second mounting bracket is slidably connected to the guide plate, and a stop block is provided on the top of the guide plate that abuts against the second mounting bracket.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second mounting bracket is slidably connected to the guide plate. When the soldering iron cutting head moves down to contact the fishing line, the second mounting bracket moves on the guide plate to prevent the soldering iron cutting head from pressing down on the fishing line and causing it to become taut when the fishing line melts. The movement range of the second mounting bracket is limited by the stop block.

[0015] Optionally, an elastic element is provided between the stop block and the second mounting bracket.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic element between the stop block and the second mounting bracket can provide a buffer when the soldering iron cutting head contacts the fishing line and is pressed down. After the fishing line is cut, the elastic element resets, allowing the soldering iron cutting head to reset quickly.

[0017] Optionally, a fixing block is provided on the side wall of the bending plate near the mounting plate, a limiting block is provided on the side wall of the driving cylinder above the fixing block and abutting against the fixing block, and a limit switch is provided at the bottom of the driving cylinder below the fixing block.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the fixed block and the limit block limits the maximum extension stroke of the drive cylinder, restricts the position of the soldering iron cutting head, and the limit switch detects the movement position of the bending plate driven by the drive cylinder through the fixed block. When the fixed block reaches the preset position, a signal is triggered to achieve precise control and automated feedback of the cutting action, thereby improving the automation level and reliability of the operation.

[0019] Optionally, the distance between the lower end of the soldering iron cutting head and the lower end of the dispensing head when the drive cylinder is stationary does not exceed the distance between the lower end of the soldering iron cutting head and the lower end of the dispensing head.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the cutting head will not come into contact with the surface of the fishing line during the dispensing process, ensuring that the dispensing trajectory of the dispensing head is not disturbed and guaranteeing dispensing accuracy.

[0021] Optionally, the mounting bracket is provided with slide rails on both sides of the linear module, and the movable frame is provided with sliders that are engaged and slidably connected with the slide rails.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the slide rails on both sides of the mounting bracket and the slider of the moving frame form a sliding engagement, which assists the linear module in achieving stable guidance of the moving frame, avoiding shaking or deviation caused by single module drive, improving the horizontal movement stability and positional accuracy of the moving frame, and ensuring the repeatability and positioning accuracy of dispensing and cutting operations.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Linear module one drives the entire moving frame to move horizontally, which can flexibly adjust the working position. Linear module two drives the dispensing head and the soldering iron cutting head to rise and fall, realizing the movement of the dispensing head and the soldering iron cutting head in the X and Z axis directions. This ensures that the two can accurately dispense glue at the binding position of the fishing line and the fishing hook during operation, and then cut the fishing line, improving the continuity and efficiency of the operation. The module drive improves the position control accuracy and reduces the product specification and size errors caused by manual operation.

[0025] 2. The pair of height slides enables independent fine-tuning of the dispensing head and the soldering iron cutting head on the Y-axis. The dispensing head and the cutting head are connected to the mounting bracket and the mounting plate respectively. The distance between the two on the Y-axis can be adjusted separately according to the dispensing amount or cutting depth requirements, avoiding the problem of insufficient compatibility caused by fixing the two, and ensuring the dimensional accuracy of dispensing and cutting.

[0026] 3. The drive cylinder drives the soldering iron cutting head to achieve independent and rapid extension and retraction through the bending plate. It can quickly drive the cutting head to perform cutting operations after dispensing, shortening the interval between dispensing and cutting, and improving the work rhythm.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0032] Flexible thread dispensing and cutting mechanism, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a mounting bracket 1 and a movable frame 2 mounted on the mounting bracket 1. A linear module 11, which drives the movable frame 2 to move along the length of the mounting bracket 1, is mounted on the mounting bracket 1. A dispensing head 3 is mounted on the movable frame 2, and a soldering iron cutting head 4, electrically connected to a power source, is mounted on one side of the dispensing head 3. A second linear module 21 is mounted on the side of the movable frame 2 facing the dispensing head 3. Both linear modules 11 and 21 are stainless steel guide rail lead screw slide modules containing motors. A soldering iron cutting head 4 connected to a power source is mounted on the second linear module 21. The connecting plate 22 is connected to the soldering iron cutting head 4. The linear module 21 is set perpendicular to the linear module 11 and drives the connecting plate 22 to move up and down along the mounting bracket 1. This ensures that both can accurately apply glue to the binding position of the fishing line and the hook during operation, and then cut the fishing line. The mounting bracket 1 is equipped with slide rails 12 on both sides of the linear module 11. The sliding block 23 is installed on the moving frame 2 and is engaged and slidably connected with the slide rails 12. This helps the linear module 11 to achieve stable guidance of the moving frame 2 and avoids shaking or deviation caused by single module drive.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A pair of height slides 5 with fine-tuning distance are bolted to one side of the connecting plate 22. The height slides 5 are installed horizontally. One of the height slides 5 is mounted with a mounting bracket 31 connected to the dispensing head 3 on the side facing the dispensing head 3. A mounting plate 41 connected to the soldering iron cutting head 4 is set at the position facing the other height slide 5. By adjusting the micrometer on the height slide 5, the distance between the dispensing head 3, the soldering iron cutting head 4 and the connecting plate 22 can be finely adjusted individually so that the dispensing head 3 and the soldering iron cutting head 4 are aligned with the fishing line. A drive cylinder 42 connected to the sealed air circuit is installed on the side of the mounting plate 41 away from the height slide 5. A drive end connected to the drive cylinder 42 is installed on the side of the drive cylinder 42 away from the mounting plate 41. A fixedly connected bending plate 43 has a mounting bracket 44 on its side wall that is connected to the soldering iron cutting head 4. After dispensing, the cutting head is quickly driven to perform the cutting operation. A guide plate 45 is provided on the side of the mounting bracket 44 facing the bending plate 43 and is fixedly connected to the bending plate 43. The mounting bracket 44 and the guide plate 45 are slidably connected. A stop block 451 that abuts against the mounting bracket 44 is fixed to the top of the guide plate 45 with bolts. A spring 452, which is an elastic element, is fixed between the stop block 451 and the mounting bracket 44. The elastic element 452 between the stop block 451 and the mounting bracket 44 can provide a buffer when the soldering iron cutting head 4 contacts the fishing line and presses down. After the fishing line is cut, the elastic element 452 resets, allowing the soldering iron cutting head 4 to quickly reset.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A fixing block 431 is bolted to the side wall of the bending plate 43 near the mounting plate 41. A limiting block 421 is installed on the side wall of the drive cylinder 42 above the fixing block 431, which abuts against the fixing block 431 to limit the position of the soldering iron cutting head 4. A limit switch 422 connected to the power supply is installed at the bottom of the drive cylinder 42 below the fixing block 431 to detect the movement position of the drive cylinder 42 driving the bending plate 43, so as to achieve precise control of the cutting action. When the drive cylinder 42 is stationary, the lower end of the soldering iron cutting head 4 does not exceed the lower end of the dispensing head 3. During the dispensing process, the cutting head will not contact the surface of the fishing line, ensuring that the dispensing trajectory of the dispensing head 3 is not disturbed.

[0035] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0036] In actual operation, after the fishing line and hook are tied, the dispensing head 3 on the moving frame 2 is driven by the linear module 11 to reach directly above the binding position of the fishing line and hook. The connecting plate 22 is driven by the linear module 21 to move downward so that the dispensing head 3 applies glue to the binding position of the fishing line and hook to fix it. Then, the driving cylinder 42 drives the energized soldering iron cutting head 4 to move down to touch the fishing line and melt it. By adjusting the size of the height slide 5, the dispensing head 3, the soldering iron cutting head 4 and the fishing line are aligned to ensure the dimensional accuracy of dispensing and cutting, and reduce the product specification and size errors caused by manual operation.
