AI Technical Summary
Conventional one-piece fixing ties and labelled ties are prone to deformation, making them unreliable for automatic bundling operations and requiring manual handling, which increases costs and waste in the injection molding process.
An interconnected tie assembly is designed, where one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties are connected to a main reinforcing plate, reducing deformation and allowing for automatic tying operations without a vibratory bowl feeder, and integrating with injection molding to minimize waste and manual handling.
The interconnected ties provide a reliable feeding mode for automatic tying, reduce production costs and size of tying apparatus, and minimize deformation during packaging, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective automatic tying process.
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an interconnected tie assembly.Background Art
[0002] Conventional nylon ties (cable ties) have relatively square-shaped heads, by which it is easier to achieve automatic bundling. Automatic bundling apparatuses are commercially available in which loose-packed conventional nylon ties are used and the ties are fed by using a vibratory bowl feeder. The conventional nylon ties are interconnected in order to facilitate the automatic sorting of the ties. The automatic bundling apparatus becomes much simpler when the interconnected ties are used. Therefore, hand-held automatic tying tools using interconnected conventional nylon ties have appeared. However, one-piece fixing ties are widely used in cars, trains, motorbikes, and household appliances. The one-piece fixing tie is a combination of a conventional tie function and an additional fixing head feature (e.g., an elastic fastener). Objects to be bundled are bundled with a one-piece fixing tie and then fastened directly onto a sheet metal part by using the elastic fastener of the one-piece fixing tie. Common types of the head features of the one-piece fixing ties mainly include: a combined type of a fir-tree-shaped head plus a disc or a fir-tree-shaped head plus wings, a combined type of an arrow head plus a disc or an arrow head plus wings, a flat-plate type with a locking hole, and so on. The one-piece fixing ties for both cars and household appliances are injection-molded by using plastic molds and are manually pulled out from flow channels for injection molding one by one and then put into plastic bags, and then, when in use, taken out from the plastic packaging bags one by one, and manually and individually applied to bundles. There is also a labelled tie (i.e., a tie with a label or tag), with a flat plate attached to the head of the tie as a label, on which a text or pattern is printed or a two-dimensional barcode is engraved, as widely used in industry and agriculture for tracing the origin of products and in logistics, postal service, and other industries. We have designed, for short-sized one-piece fixing ties, a desktop-type automatic bundling apparatus into which ties are fed by using a vibratory bowl feeder, but the automatic bundling apparatus into which one-piece fixing ties are fed by using a vibratory bowl feeder has poor reliability due to inevitable deformation of the loose-packed one-piece fixing ties, and the desktop-type design into which ties are fed by using a vibratory bowl feeder is only applicable in a narrow range. Since the one-piece fixing ties and the labelled ties have irregularly-shaped heads, any automatic tool applicable to the one-piece fixing ties or to the labelled ties has not been available in the world so far, and interconnected one-piece fixing ties and interconnected labelled ties have also not appeared. The inventor has designed the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties as an interconnected tie assembly in order to enable automatic bundling operations with the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties.
[0003] EP 0 264 142 A2 and CN 107 128 596 A disclose interconnected tie assemblies. In particular, CN 107 128 596 A discloses positioning holes. EP 0 073 633 A1 discloses a disposable one-piece security sealing device for enclosing an article comprising a strap having at one end an enclosure defining a passage through which the other end of the strap is irremovably insertable to an adjustable extent as a result of interaction of a plurality of teeth spaced in a row along the strap with a resiliently deformable member which is integral with the housing and situated at or adjacent a bend intermediate the ends of the passage characterised in that an identity or pull-off tab is formed as an extension of the strap around and beyond the enclosure, for tearing when required along a line of weakness which extends round the enclosure and terminates in a side edge of the strap such that after tearing along that line the end of the strap having the tab is separated from the enclosure.Summary
[0004] The object of the present disclosure includes providing an interconnected tie assembly designed to solve the deficiencies of the traditional loose-packed one-piece fixing ties and labelled ties which are less adaptable to automatic bundling operations.
[0005] The present invention is defined by an interconnected tie assembly according to claim 1.
[0006] Dependent claims 2-13 define embodiments of the interconnected tie assembly according to the invention.
[0007] Although not part of the invention, the disclosure provides a locking device, comprising the interconnected tie assembly described in the present disclosure.
[0008] The present disclosure has at least the following advantageous effects: 1. Compared with loose-packed one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties, the interconnected one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties are much less deformable, which provides a more reliable feeding mode for automatic tying operations. 2. The interconnected one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties are fed without a vibratory bowl feeder and a material dispersing mechanism, so that an apparatus for automatic tying operation can be changed from the automatic tying apparatus to an automatic tying tool, and the apparatus can be made with a greatly reduced cost and size, and used more conveniently. 3. The combination of the arrangement of the structure of the interconnected one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties with the injection molding process and injection mold technology not only reduces the amount of waste materials in the flow channels, but also reduces the workload because it is unnecessary to manually pull out the ties one by one from the flow channels for injection molding after the ties are molded. 4. Traditionally, after the injection molding, the loose-packed one-piece fixing ties or the loose-packed labelled ties, which are pulled out one by one and then put into bags, are deformed while being pulled out, and have an increased chance of deformation when they are put into plastic bags in a loose-packed state, while the interconnected one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties are much less deformed because they are present in an interconnected mode from the aspects including the mold structure, manufacturing process, packaging, and sale.

[0011] The present disclosure will be further described below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0012] The present disclosure provides an interconnected tie assembly, comprising a main reinforcing plate, and one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties, wherein the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties are arranged at a fixed interval, the main reinforcing plate is perpendicular to the length direction of each of the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties, and a fixing head portion of at least one of the one-piece fixing ties or a label edge of at least one of the labelled ties is connected integrally with one main reinforcing plate to form a unit of interconnected ties.
[0013] Here, the main reinforcing plate extends in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the one-piece fixing tie or labelled tie. One or a plurality of one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties may be provided, and one main reinforcing plate is provided. A fixing head portion of at least one one-piece fixing tie or a label edge of at least one labelled tie is fixedly connected to one main reinforcing plate to form a unit of interconnected ties. The fixing head portion of the fixing tie or the label edge of at least one labelled tie may be connected to the main reinforcing plate by means of adhesion, or in any suitable form such as an integrally molded structure.
[0014] Since the fixing head portion of at least one one-piece fixing tie or the label edge of at least one labelled tie is fixedly connected to one main reinforcing plate, deformation of the fixing head portion of the one-piece fixing tie or of the label edge of the labelled tie can be reduced, which provides a more reliable feeding mode for automatic tying operations.
[0015] Moreover, since the fixing head portion of at least one one-piece fixing tie or the label edge of at least one labelled tie is connected integrally with one main reinforcing plate to form a unit of interconnected ties, the interconnected tie assembly according to this embodiment is used without a vibratory bowl feeder and a material dispersing mechanism, so that an apparatus for automatic tying operation can be changed from the automatic tying apparatus to an automatic tying tool, and the apparatus can be made with a greatly reduced cost and size, and used more conveniently.
[0016] In addition, compared with the prior art in which the loose-packed one-piece fixing ties or the loose-packed labelled ties, which are injection-molded and then are pulled out one by one and then put into bags, are deformed while being pulled out, and have an increased chance of deformation when they are put into plastic bags in a loose-packed state, the interconnected one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties are much less deformed because they are present in an interconnected mode from the aspects including the mold structure, manufacturing process, packaging, and sale.
[0017] It should be noted that the one-piece fixing tie may consist of a tie body and a fixing head, wherein one end of the tie body is fixedly connected to the fixing head, the fixing head can secure the tie body, and the fixing head is the fixing head portion described above. The one-piece fixing tie may also consist of a tie body and a fastener, wherein one end of the tie body is fixedly connected to the fastener, the fastener can secure the tie body, and the fastener is the fixing head portion described above.
[0018] Optionally, there are a plurality of one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties, and the fixing head portions of the plurality of one-piece fixing ties or the label edges of the plurality of labelled ties are connected to one main reinforcing plates, respectively.
[0019] Specifically, the fixing head portions of the plurality of one-piece fixing ties or the label edges of the plurality of labelled ties are fixedly connected to one main reinforcing plate, respectively, and the fixing head portions of the plurality of one-piece fixing ties or the label edges of the plurality of labelled ties are disposed at uniform intervals along the direction of extension of the main reinforcing plate so that the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties are arranged at a fixed interval.
[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the interconnected tie assembly comprises: a plurality of one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties and one main reinforcing plate, wherein the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties are arranged at a fixed interval, the main reinforcing plate is perpendicular to the length direction of each of the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties, and fixing heads of the plurality of one-piece fixing ties or label edges of the plurality of labelled ties are connected to the main reinforcing plate to form a unit of interconnected ties. The number of the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties in a unit of interconnected one-piece fixing ties depends on the size(s) of the injection mold and / or the injection molding machine, but the unit of interconnected ties at least contains one one-piece fixing tie or labelled tie and one main reinforcing plate. When the unit of interconnected ties is to be used in cooperation with an automatic tying apparatus or an automatic tying tool, the automatic tying apparatus or the automatic tying tool cuts off the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties individually and discharges the main reinforcing plate as waste.
[0021] Optionally, a runner is disposed between the head of each of the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties and the main reinforcing plate. Specifically, the runner extends in a direction parallel to the length direction of the one-piece fixing tie or labelled tie, and the runner has one end fixedly connected to the main reinforcing plate, and the other end fixedly connected to the head of the one-piece fixing tie or the labelled tie, either by means of adhesion or by a connector. The main reinforcing plate, the runners, and the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties may also be made as a one-piece structure.
[0022] Optionally, flow channels are provided in the main reinforcing plate and in the runners, respectively, and the flow channels of the runners communicate with the flow channels of the main reinforcing plate. Therefore, the flow channels in the main reinforcing plate and in the runners are used as flow channels for injection molding of the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties.
[0023] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a runner is correspondingly connected to the head of each of the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties, and the runner is then connected to the main reinforcing plate. Flow channels are provided in the main reinforcing plate and in the runners, respectively, and the flow channels of the runners communicate with the flow channels of the main reinforcing plate. The main reinforcing plate and the runners not only serve to connect the plurality of one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties into one piece, but also the main reinforcing plate and the runners serve as flow channels for injection molding of the plurality of one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties.
[0024] The combination of the main reinforcing plate and the runners with the injection molding process and injection mold technology not only reduces the amount of waste materials in the flow channels, but also reduces the workload because it is unnecessary to manually pull out the ties one by one from the flow channels for injection molding after the ties are molded.
[0025] Optionally, positioning members are provided at the two ends of the main reinforcing plate, respectively. Here, the positioning member may be in any suitable form, such as a positioning block, a positioning hole, a positioning slot, or the like. The positioning members can be used for positioning for facilitating end-to-end connection of a plurality of units of interconnected ties.
[0026] Optionally, the positioning member includes a positioning hole and / or a positioning column, and the positioning hole and / or the positioning column is in a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape; or the positioning member includes a positioning rib and / or a positioning slot.
[0027] Specifically, the positioning member may include a positioning hole, may include a positioning column, may include a positioning hole and a positioning column, may include a positioning rib, may include a positioning slot, or may include a positioning rib and a positioning slot.
[0028] When the positioning member only includes a positioning hole, the positioning holes are provided at the two ends of the main reinforcing plate, respectively. When it is necessary to connect a plurality of units of interconnected ties in an end-to-end manner, the positioning holes are used as positioning marks for connection, so that the plurality of units of interconnected ties can be connected at a preset position(s), and the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties on the different units of interconnected ties are kept arranged at a fixed interval. A case where the positioning member only includes a positioning column, a positioning rib, or a positioning slot is the same as the case of only including the positioning hole, which will not be described in detail here.
[0029] Optionally, the positioning member includes a positioning hole and a positioning column, the positioning hole and the positioning column are provided at the two ends of the main reinforcing plate, respectively, and the positioning hole and the positioning column can be connected to each other in cooperation; or the positioning member includes a positioning rib and a positioning slot, the positioning rib and the positioning slot are provided at the two ends of the main reinforcing plate, respectively, and the positioning rib and the positioning slot can be connected to each other in cooperation.
[0030] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a positioning hole and a positioning column are provided at the two ends of the main reinforcing plate, respectively, and the positioning hole and the positioning column can be connected to each other in cooperation. In the end-to-end connection of a plurality of units of interconnected ties, the positioning column of a previous unit of interconnected ties may be connected to the positioning hole of the next unit of interconnected ties, so that they are used for positioning in the end-to-end connection of the plurality of units of interconnected ties. The positioning hole and the positioning column are each in a circular, or elliptical, or polygonal shape.
[0031] A case where the positioning member includes a positioning rib and a positioning slot is the same as the case where the positioning member includes the positioning hole and the positioning column, which will not be described in detail here.
[0032] According to the invention, the main reinforcing plate is provided with interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns, and a distance between two adjacent interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns is equal to the interval between two adjacent one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties in the unit of interconnected ties; or the distance between two adjacent interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns is equal to n times or 1 / n times the interval between two adjacent one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties in the unit of interconnected ties, where n is a positive integer.
[0033] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns are added to the main reinforcing plate, and the interval positioning holes or the interval positioning columns are fitted to positioning columns or positioning holes provided on an automatic tying tool, and configured to position an interconnected tie assembly onto the automatic tying tool and used for allowing the automatic tying tool to drive an interconnected tie assembly. The interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns are each in a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape. The distance between two adjacent interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns is equal to the interval between two adjacent one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties in the unit of interconnected ties, or the distance between two adjacent interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns is equal to n times or 1 / n times the interval between two adjacent one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties in the unit of interconnected ties, where n is a positive integer.
[0034] Optionally, the interconnected tie assembly further comprises an auxiliary reinforcing plate, the auxiliary reinforcing plate is perpendicular to the length direction of each of the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties, and the auxiliary reinforcing plate is connected to the end portion of each of the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties
[0035] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23, the auxiliary reinforcing plate extends in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of each of the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties, and the auxiliary reinforcing plate is connected to the end portion of each of the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties, either by means of adhesion or by a connector. The auxiliary reinforcing plate and the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties may also made as a one-piece mechanism. The auxiliary reinforcing plate can reduce the deformation of the end portion of each of the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties.
[0036] Optionally, in addition to serving the function of connecting the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties, the auxiliary reinforcing plate can also be used for storing a cold material in the injection molding of the unit of interconnected ties, so as to reduce the chance of welding of the cold material onto the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties. When the unit of interconnected ties is used in cooperation with an automatic tying apparatus or an automatic tying tool, the automatic tying apparatus or the automatic tying tool automatically cuts off the one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties individually and discharges the main reinforcing plate, the runners, and the auxiliary reinforcing plate as waste.
[0037] Optionally, positioning members are provided at the two ends of the auxiliary reinforcing plate, respectively. Here, the positioning member may be in any suitable form, such as a positioning block, a positioning hole, a positioning slot, or the like. The positioning members can be used for positioning for facilitating end-to-end connection of a plurality of units of interconnected ties.
[0038] Optionally, the positioning member includes a positioning hole and / or a positioning column, and the positioning hole and / or the positioning column is in a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape.
[0039] Here, the positioning member may only include a positioning hole, or may only include a positioning column. When the positioning member only includes a positioning hole, the positioning holes are provided at the two ends of the auxiliary reinforcing plate, respectively. When it is necessary to connect a plurality of units of interconnected ties in an end-to-end manner, the positioning holes are used as positioning marks for connection, so that the plurality of units of interconnected ties can be connected at a preset position(s), and the one-piece fixing ties or the labelled ties on the different units of interconnected ties are kept arranged at a fixed interval. A case where the positioning member only includes a positioning column is the same as the case of only including the positioning hole, which will not be described in detail here.
[0040] Optionally, the positioning member includes a positioning hole and a positioning column, the positioning hole and the positioning column are provided at the two ends of the auxiliary reinforcing plate, respectively, and the positioning hole and the positioning column can be connected to each other in cooperation.
[0041] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 19, 20, 22, and 23, a positioning hole and a positioning column are provided at the two ends of the auxiliary reinforcing plate, respectively, and the positioning hole and the positioning column can be connected to each other in cooperation. In the end-to-end connection of a plurality of units of interconnected ties, the positioning column of a previous unit of interconnected ties may be connected to the positioning hole of the next unit of interconnected ties, so that they are used for positioning in the end-to-end connection of the plurality of units of interconnected ties. The positioning hole and the positioning column are each in a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape. Alternatively, a positioning rib and a positioning slot are respectively provided at the two ends of the auxiliary reinforcing plate instead of the positioning hole and the positioning column, so as to be used for positioning in the end-to-end connection of a plurality of units of interconnected ties.
[0042] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 22, interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns are added to the auxiliary reinforcing plate, and the interval positioning holes or the interval positioning columns are fitted to positioning columns or positioning holes provided on an automatic tying tool, and used for positioning the interconnected tie assembly onto the automatic tying tool and used for allowing the automatic tying tool to drive the interconnected tie assembly. The interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns are each in a circular, or elliptical, or polygonal shape. A distance between two adjacent interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns is equal to the interval between two adjacent one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties in the unit of interconnected ties, or the distance between two adjacent interval positioning holes or interval positioning columns is equal to n times or 1 / n times the interval between two adjacent one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties in the unit of interconnected ties, where n is a positive integer.
[0043] Optionally, a plurality of units of interconnected ties are connected in an end-to-end manner to form a string or a roll. As shown in FIG. 23, two units of interconnected ties are connected in an end-to-end manner. Similarly, a plurality of units of interconnected ties are connected in an end-to-end manner to form a string or a roll.
[0044] This embodiment also provides a locking device, comprising the interconnected tie assembly described in this embodiment. A workpiece(s) can be locked to a preset position(s) by using an automatic tying apparatus and the interconnected tie assembly. Since the fixing head portion of at least one one-piece fixing tie or the label edge of at least one labelled tie is fixedly connected to one main reinforcing plate, deformation of the fixing head portion of the one-piece fixing tie or of the label edge of the labelled tie can be reduced, which provides a more reliable feeding mode for automatic tying operations. Moreover, since the fixing head portion of at least one one-piece fixing tie or the label edge of at least one labelled tie is connected integrally with one main reinforcing plate to form a unit of interconnected ties, the interconnected tie assembly according to this embodiment is used without a vibratory bowl feeder and a material dispersing mechanism, so that an apparatus for automatic tying operation can be changed from the automatic tying apparatus to an automatic tying tool, and the apparatus can be made with a greatly reduced cost and size, and used more conveniently. In addition, compared with the prior art in which the loose-packed one-piece fixing ties or the loose-packed labelled ties, which are injection-molded and then are pulled out one by one and then put into bags, are deformed while being pulled out, and have an increased chance of deformation when they are put into plastic bags in a loose-packed state, the interconnected one-piece fixing ties or labelled ties are much less deformed because they are present in an interconnected mode from the aspects including the mold structure, manufacturing process, packaging, and sale.
