Rebar Binding Robot Separation Timing for Multi-Position Tying
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing reinforcing bar binding machines lack the ability to determine and control the timing of moving away from a binding position, leading to inefficiencies in multi-position binding operations.
Innovation Solution
A binding device comprising a binding machine and a transfer robot that synchronizes the movement of the binding machine and reinforcing bars to separate at a predetermined timing, allowing for precise control over the binding process across multiple positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the binding machine moves to multiple binding positions sequentially, then the binding operation can be performed at different locations, but the timing of moving away from the current binding position cannot be determined in advance, causing delays
Solution Approach 1:
The binding machine determines the timing of moving away from the current binding position in advance, before the actual movement occurs. By calculating and setting the separation timing when the binding operation starts, the system prepares for the next movement in advance, eliminating waiting time and improving overall productivity.
2Ease of operation
If the binding machine and reinforcing bars move independently, then each component can be controlled separately, but coordination between their movements is poor, reducing operational precision
Solution Approach 1:
The binding machine and reinforcing bars are moved together as a coordinated unit by the transfer robot. The robot controls both components to move in unison, ensuring they maintain their relative positions and separation timing while achieving precise coordination that independent control cannot provide.

AI summary
A binding device including: a binding machine that binds reinforcing bars with a wire; and a transfer robot that moves the binding machine and the reinforcing bars positioned at a binding position in a direction of approaching and a direction of separating from each other by a relative movement of the binding machine and the reinforcing bars. The binding machine is configured to determine, when the binding machine starts an operation of binding the reinforcing bars with the wire, a timing of moving the binding machine and the reinforcing bars in the direction of separating from each other, and the transfer robot is configured to move the binding machine and the reinforcing bars in the direction of separating from each other at the determined timing.
