Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bundling machines, and more particularly to a bundling machine having a function of identifying wire reel information. [Background technology]

[0002]

[0003] Currently, binding machines are widely used in the construction industry. The main structure of a binding machine mainly includes a case, a wire reel, a wire feeding mechanism, a wire guiding structure, a wire cutting mechanism, and a wire winding mechanism. The wire feeding mechanism guides and feeds the binding wire on the wire reel to the wire guiding mechanism, which restricts and guides the binding wire so that the binding wire is wound around the outside of the object to be bound in the form of a loop. After the binding wire is wound, the wire cutting mechanism cuts the binding wire, and the wire winding mechanism bends the binding wire wound around the outside of the object to be bound so that the object can be clamped by the binding wire.

[0003]

[0003] Because wire reels are products that need to be replaced in large quantities, a large number of counterfeit products have appeared on the market. To distinguish them from counterfeit products, wire reels are generally provided with a two-dimensional code for anti-counterfeiting purposes and for storing the counterfeit information. By scanning the two-dimensional code during use, the authenticity and specific information of the wire reel can be clearly determined. However, the identification efficiency of conventional wire reels is low, and when they are installed in a binding machine, the identification effect is poor.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a bundling machine equipped with a wire reel information identification device, in which anti-counterfeiting two-dimensional codes are installed on the wire reels, and the two-dimensional codes may be installed in a hierarchical manner. For example, there are 10 packages of wire reels in one box, and one package contains one bundle, i.e., 12 wire reels. The two-dimensional codes may be installed so that there is one two-dimensional code on each wire reel, one two-dimensional code on each bundle of wire reels per package, and one two-dimensional code on each box. When a worker uses the 12 wire reels in this bundle, he or she can input the installation information of the 12 wire reels and the anti-counterfeiting information of each wire reel into the bundling machine by scanning the two-dimensional code on the wire reel packaging of this bundle. In addition, different two-dimensional codes can be placed on individual wire reels, a bundle of wire reels, and wire reel packaging boxes for scanning by people of different positions, or when people of different positions / responsibilities scan the two-dimensional codes, the scans are automatically recorded in a cloud file.By setting up such a program, the flow trajectory and usage status of the wire reels can be analyzed, and this function is mainly completed by a background program and a cloud server.After the two-dimensional codes in the binding machine are placed on the wire reels, they need to be manually identified, which is inefficient and increases the operating costs of the binding machine.

[0005] For example, Chinese Appearance Patent "CN307092714S" discloses a wire reel (equipped with a two-dimensional code identifier) ​​for a binding machine, and as can be seen from Figure 1, the two-dimensional code is provided on the end plate of the wire reel and is located outside the rotation axis of the wire reel. When the wire reel is assembled to the binding machine and the binding machine is in operation, the location of the two-dimensional code constantly changes as the wire reel rotates. Therefore, when the wire reel stops rotating, the position of the two-dimensional code is not fixed, making it difficult to identify. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 113788177 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In order to solve the problems of the low identification efficiency and poor identification effect of the two-dimensional code on the wire reel in the conventional background art, the present invention provides a binding machine with the function of identifying wire reel information. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] In describing the present invention, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "inside," "outside," etc. are those shown in the drawings, and are intended merely to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to necessarily have a particular orientation or must be configured and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0022] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "attached," "connected," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and for example, unless otherwise clearly defined, may mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral, may be mechanical connection, electrical connection, direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate element, internal communication between two elements, or an interactive relationship between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to specific circumstances.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to FIGS.

[0024] 2, a bundling machine having a wire reel information identification function includes a case 1, a wire feeding mechanism 2, a wire guiding mechanism 3, a wire cutting mechanism (not shown), and a wire winding mechanism 4 provided within the case 1, the wire feeding mechanism 2 is for guiding and supplying the wire to the wire guiding mechanism 3, the wire guiding mechanism 3 is for winding the wire around the rebar by guiding the wire into a circular shape, the wire cutting mechanism is for cutting the wire, and the wire winding mechanism 4 is for tightening the wire wound around the rebar, and naturally, some conventional bundling machines are further provided with a braking mechanism 5, which is for braking the wire reel 6 when the wire feeding mechanism 2 stops feeding the wire. The structures, connections, and operating processes of the above-mentioned mechanisms are all conventional, so detailed explanations will be omitted here.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 2, a wire reel chamber 11 is further provided in the case 1, and the wire reel chamber 11 is for accommodating the wire reel 6. However, it should be noted that the wire reel 6 is not a part of the binding machine, but the wire reel 6 and the wire wound thereon are environmental features. That is, when the binding machine is sold separately, there is no wire reel 6 in the wire reel chamber 11, and when binding and tying rebars, if the wire reel 6 is incorporated into the case 1, the rebar binding operation can be performed. In this embodiment, in order to more clearly explain the structure of the binding machine, this embodiment will be described in combination with a wire reel 6 of a corresponding structure.

[0026] 3 to 5, an identification device 7 and a wire reel support shaft 12 for supporting the rotation of the wire reel 6 are provided in the wire reel chamber 11, and the identification device 7 is provided at the center of the wire reel support shaft 12. A controller electrically connected to the identification device 7 is further provided in the case 1. Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the wire reel 6 includes an integrally molded shaft tube 61 and two end plates 62, and the two end plates 62 are provided at both ends of the shaft tube 61, respectively. The outer peripheral wall of the shaft tube 61 and the end plates 62 form a storage chamber 63 for storing a wire, and the wire is wound around the shaft tube 61 and located within the storage chamber 63. A hole-shaped structure 64 (i.e., a space located at the middle position of the shaft tube 61) is provided in the shaft tube 61, and a two-dimensional code is provided in the hole-shaped structure 64, facing the position of the wire reel support shaft 12. The code shape of basic information of the wire reel 6 is characterized in the two-dimensional code, and the code shape is an encrypted code shape. During use, when the wire reel 6 stops rotating, the position of the two-dimensional code on the wire reel 6 faces the position of the identification device 7, so regardless of the position at which the wire reel 6 stops rotating, the identification device 7 can scan and read the information on the wire reel 6 in the two-dimensional code, thereby ensuring that the two-dimensional code can be easily identified and avoiding the problem of the two-dimensional code being unable to be identified or clearly identified due to being in a different position.

[0027] As an improved solution, a sunken portion 121 is provided in the center of the wire reel support shaft 12, and the identification device 7 is provided in the sunken portion 121. Specifically, referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the wire reel support shaft 12 has a hollow cylindrical structure, and the hollow space in the center of the wire reel support shaft 12 is the sunken portion 121. One end of the wire reel support shaft 12 is detachably connected to the wire reel chamber 11, and the other end of the wire reel support shaft 12 rotatably supports the wire reel 6. The identification device 7 is also connected to the wire reel chamber 11 and is located in the hollow space in the center of the wire reel support shaft 12, so that the two-dimensional code can be identified by passing through the hollow space in the center of the wire reel support shaft 12 and the hole-like structure 64 of the shaft tube 61. The sunken portion 121 provided on the wire reel support shaft 12 not only allows the wire reel 6 to be connected, but also allows the identification device 7 to be installed in the sunken portion 121, thereby ensuring that the identification device 7 is not damaged. In addition, its structure is simpler and easier to assemble. In order to improve the identification effect of the identification device 7, the identification device 7 is installed coaxially with the wire reel support shaft 12 and the hole-like structure 64 of the shaft tube 61, so that the identification device 7 can face the two-dimensional code directly, thereby improving the identification effect of the two-dimensional code.

[0028] As another possible solution, the wire reel support shaft 12 may have a columnar structure, and the identification device 7 is installed on the wire reel support shaft 12 and protrudes from the wire reel support shaft 12. By having the identification device 7 protrude from the wire reel support shaft 12, the identification device 7 can get closer to the two-dimensional code, thereby shortening the time required to identify the two-dimensional code and improving the efficiency of identifying the two-dimensional code.

[0029] As an improved version, referring to FIG. 5, the wire reel support shaft 12 is provided with a support portion 122, which is covered by the wire reel support shaft 12, forming a ring structure. Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the hole-shaped structure 64 includes an outer recess 641 and an inner shaft hole 642, which are concentrically arranged and both have a circular cross-sectional shape. The diameter of the recess 641 is larger than the diameter of the shaft hole 642, and the shape and dimensions of the recess 641 match the support portion 122. When the wire reel 6 is assembled in the wire reel chamber 11, the recess 641 and the support portion 122 of the wire reel 6 are rotationally supported and engaged, allowing the wire reel 6 to rotate around the wire reel support shaft 12. The above structure is simple and easy to produce, manufacture, and assemble. As a further improvement, a partition plate 65 is provided in the axial hole 642, and a two-dimensional code is placed on the partition plate 65, and by installing the partition plate 65, it is possible to easily install the two-dimensional code in the axial hole 642.

[0030] As an improved version, referring to Fig. 5, a wire reel locking portion 123 is provided at the center of the wire reel support shaft 12, and the wire reel locking portion 123 is used to lock the wire reel 6, thereby preventing the wire reel 6 from coming off the wire reel fixed shaft. As a preferred solution, a locking groove is provided at the center of the wire reel support shaft 12 (on the inner wall closest to the wire reel 6), and the locking groove is an annular groove (i.e., the wire reel locking portion 123). Correspondingly, an elastic locking bar 66 is provided in the axial hole 642 of the wire reel 6 on the side closest to the identification device 7, and a locking block 661 is provided at the end of the elastic locking bar 66. When the wire reel 6 is assembled in the wire reel chamber 11 and the fitting portion 641 is engaged with the support portion 122, the locking block 661 on the elastic locking bar 66 is engaged in the locking groove, and the locking action between the locking block 661 and the locking groove fixes the wire reel 6 in the wire reel chamber 11, thereby preventing the wire reel 6 from coming off. When it is necessary to remove the wire reel 6, an outward pulling force is applied to the wire reel 6, causing the elastic locking bar 66 to elastically deform, thereby removing the wire reel 6.

[0031] As an improvement, a light supplementary device (not shown) is further provided on the wire reel support shaft 12. When the wire reel 6 stops rotating, the identification device 7 scans and reads the information in the two-dimensional code. Since the light inside the case 1 is relatively dim, the light supplementary device provides a light source during the scanning process of the identification device 7, making it easier to scan and read the two-dimensional code. As an optional embodiment, the light supplementary device may be an LED or a light-emitting diode.

[0032] As an improved solution, a through-hole 67 is provided in the shaft tube 61, which passes through the shaft hole 642. The diameter of the through-hole 67 is larger than the diameter of the wire. When the wire is wound into the storage chamber 63, the tip of the wire passes through the through-hole 67 and is tied in the internal cavity of the shaft hole 642. The diameter of the knotted wire is larger than the diameter of the through-hole 67. In this way, when the wire is used up or there is not enough wire for the next bundling, the knot of the bundling wire can be engaged in the through-hole 67. This effectively prevents the tip of the wire from coming off the shaft tube 61 and entering the case 1, which would affect the operation of the bundling machine. Furthermore, the knot at the tip of the wire does not affect the normal rotation and normal use of the wire reel 6.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a Bluetooth® device (not shown) or a wireless communication device (not shown) is further provided within the case 1, or a combination of the above communication methods or other communication methods may be used, as long as data transmission is possible. A memory (not shown) is also provided within the case 1. The communication device and memory may adopt conventional communication methods, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted here. During use, when the wire reel 6 stops rotating, the identification device 7 scans and reads the information in the two-dimensional code, and the processor decrypts the encrypted information. If there is no communication connection, the memory stores the data. If there is a communication connection, the wire reel 6 information is uploaded to a mobile phone or PC terminal via a communication module, such as a Wi-Fi module.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the wire reel chamber 11 includes a wire reel groove 111 provided in the case 1 and a cover plate covered by the wire reel groove 111, with the cover plate movably connected to the wire reel groove 111. Specifically, a case locking device is provided in the case 1, with one end of the cover plate hingedly connected to the case 1 and the other end of the cover plate engaged with the case locking device. The above case locking device may employ a conventional latch structure, engagement structure, or the like. In use, the wire reel groove 111 can be opened by opening the case locking device and then rotating and opening the cover plate. When the wire reel 6 is inserted into the wire reel groove 111, the cover plate is rotated and closed, and the cover plate is locked to the case 1 by the case locking device. The above structure is simple and easy to operate.
