Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable tie technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable cable tie for bundling fresh-cut leaves. Background Technology

[0002] In the fresh-cut leaf industry, bundling is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and facilitating transportation and sales. With the continuous growth of market demand for fresh-cut leaves, the requirements for bundling tools and methods are also increasing. However, existing bundling methods for fresh-cut leaves have many drawbacks and are insufficient to meet the needs of industry development.

[0003] Traditionally, fresh-cut leaves are mostly bundled using ropes or disposable plastic cable ties. When using ropes, the knotting process requires manual knotting, which is not only tedious and time-consuming, but also relies entirely on personal experience to ensure consistency. Adjusting the tightness to the appropriate tightness for different quantities of fresh-cut leaves requires considerable time and trial and error. In large-scale industrial production, this significantly impacts bundling efficiency and increases labor costs.

[0004] While disposable plastic cable ties are relatively simple to use, their tightness adjustment range is limited. Once tightened, it is difficult to readjust the tightness. If tied too tightly, it may damage the fresh-cut leaves, affecting their quality; if tied too loosely, it will not provide adequate support, and the fresh-cut leaves will easily loosen during transportation. Furthermore, disposable plastic cable ties are discarded after use, which not only wastes resources but also pollutes the environment, contradicting the concept of sustainable development.

[0005] While some advanced bundling equipment offers certain adjustment capabilities, it is often complex in structure and expensive. This equipment typically requires professional operation and maintenance, making the purchase and use costs prohibitively high for small-scale cut leaf producers. Furthermore, the complex equipment lacks flexibility when bundling different sizes and quantities of cut leaves, failing to quickly adapt to diverse bundling needs. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an adjustable cable tie for bundling fresh-cut leaves, including a tie head. The tie head has a first square groove inside, and an adjustment mechanism is fixedly installed inside the first square groove. The adjustment mechanism includes a spring, which is fixedly installed inside the first square groove. A first wedge block is slidably installed inside the first square groove. The bottom of the spring is fixedly installed with the first wedge block. A second square groove is opened on the side wall of the first wedge block, and a first through groove is opened on the side wall of the tie head.

[0007] In one example, the cable tie body is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cable tie.

[0008] In one example, the top of the cable tie body has a strip-shaped groove.

[0009] In one example, a second wedge block is fixedly installed inside the strip groove.

[0010] In one example, a limiting plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the cable tie body.

[0011] In one example, the head has a second through groove inside.

[0012] The adjustable cable tie for bundling fresh-cut leaves proposed in this utility model can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, when the tightness of the device needs to be adjusted, simply insert the limiting plate into the first through slot and pry it open. This will cause the first wedge block to compress the spring, and then pulling the cable tie body will quickly adjust the tightness. This design requires no complicated operation and can quickly adapt to the bundling needs of different quantities of fresh-cut leaves, improving bundling efficiency. It is suitable for fresh-cut leaf packaging operations of different scales, whether it is small-scale manual bundling or large-scale industrial production, and can flexibly cope with the situation, reducing the time and manpower wasted due to inconvenient adjustment.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, when the binding is no longer needed, the first wedge block is brought to a smooth part of the binding body by continuously pulling the binding strap, reducing friction and constraint. Then, the limiting plate is pulled out and pressed back through the second slot, easily releasing the binding and restoring the device to its initial state for reuse. This design makes the binding and unbinding process simple and easy to understand, reducing operational difficulty. Furthermore, the device is reusable, significantly saving costs compared to disposable binding tools. It also aligns with environmental protection principles, reducing waste generation and contributing positively to the sustainable development of the fresh-cut leaf industry.

[0021] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain this utility model.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, an adjustable cable tie for bundling fresh-cut leaves is provided, including a tie head 11. When in use, pressing the limiting plate 21 causes the limiting plate 21 to pass through the second through groove 22. The tie head 11 has a first square groove 12 inside. When the second wedge block 19 passes through the second square groove 15, the inclined surface of the second square groove 15 will continuously slide on the surface of the second wedge block 19, and the first wedge block 14 will continuously move up and down. The spring 13 will continuously compress and stretch. The spring 13 is fixedly installed inside the first square groove 12, and the first wedge block 14 is slidably installed inside the first square groove 12. 4. The bottom of the spring 13 is fixedly installed with the first wedge block 14. The side wall of the first wedge block 14 is provided with a second square groove 15, and the side wall of the cable tie 11 is provided with a first through groove 16. When it is necessary to adjust the tightness of the device, the limiting plate 21 is inserted into the first through groove 16. The limiting plate 21 will pass through the first through groove 16 and reach the second square groove 15. Then, the limiting plate 21 is lifted from bottom to top. The limiting plate 21 will drive the first wedge block 14 to move from bottom to top. The first wedge block 14 will squeeze the spring 13. The spring 13 will be compressed. At this time, the cable tie body 17 can be pulled out to quickly adjust the tightness of the device.

[0024] A cable tie body 17 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cable tie head 11. A strip groove 18 is opened on the top of the cable tie body 17. A second wedge block 19 is fixedly installed inside the strip groove 18. A limit plate 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the cable tie body 17. When the cable tie is not needed, the cable tie body 17 is continuously pulled until the bottom of the first wedge block 14 reaches the smooth part of the cable tie body 17. At this time, the limit plate 21 is pulled out from the inside of the second square groove 15. The limit plate 21 is pressed so that the limit plate 21 passes through the inside of the second through groove 22 again, so that the entire device is untied. The cable tie head 11 has a second through groove 22 inside.

[0025] Working principle: When in use, press the limiting plate 21 on the top of the cable tie body 17 so that it passes through the second through groove 22 opened inside the cable tie head 11. During this process, the second wedge block 19 fixed in the strip groove 18 at the top of the cable tie body 17 will interact with the second square groove 15 opened on the side wall of the first wedge block 14. When the second wedge block 19 passes through the second square groove 15, the sliding contact between the inclined surface of the second square groove 15 and the surface of the second wedge block 19 causes the first wedge block 14 to move up and down continuously in the first square groove 12. This causes the spring 13 fixed in the first square groove 12 and connected to the first wedge block 14 at the bottom to be continuously compressed and stretched. This step realizes the initial connection of the cable tie and the dynamic preparation between the components, laying the foundation for subsequent adjustment and binding functions.

[0026] When the tightness of the device needs to be adjusted, the limiting plate 21 is inserted into the first through groove 16 opened on the side wall of the tie head 11. After the limiting plate 21 passes through the first through groove 16, it reaches the inside of the second square groove 15. At this time, the limiting plate 21 is lifted from bottom to top. The limiting plate 21 will drive the first wedge block 14 to move upward. The first wedge block 14 squeezes the spring 13 upward, so that the spring 13 is compressed. In this state, the tie body 17 is pulled out. Since the constraint of the first wedge block 14 on the tie body 17 is changed due to the compression of the spring, the tightness of the tie can be quickly adjusted to meet the bundling needs of different quantities of fresh-cut leaves.

[0027] When no binding operation is required, the cable tie body 17 is continuously pulled. As the cable tie body 17 is pulled, the first wedge block 14 moves along the cable tie body 17 until the bottom of the first wedge block 14 reaches a smooth part of the cable tie body 17. At this time, the friction of the first wedge block 14 on the cable tie body 17 is reduced, and the restraining effect is reduced. Then, the limiting plate 21 is pulled out from the inside of the second square groove 15, and the limiting plate 21 is pressed again so that it passes through the inside of the second through groove 22 again. In this way, the binding of the cable tie to the fresh-cut leaves is released, and the entire device is restored to its initial state that can be used again.
