Solution Overview

Problem

Reinforcing bar binding machines experience operational instability and frequent stops due to voltage drops during low-temperature environments, particularly during the twisting step, which can lead to incomplete binding and mechanical failure.

Innovation Solution

Incorporation of a power supply voltage detecting device that monitors voltage levels specifically during the twisting step and triggers a reverse motor rotation to return the binding wire twisting mechanism to the initial position before the CPU operation voltage is reached, preventing machine stoppages and ensuring stable operation.

AI summary

A reinforcing bar binding machine is provided with a device for detecting a power supply voltage during a binding wire twisting step subjected to the heaviest load and comparing the power supply voltage with a predetermined CPU operation voltage, and a control device for driving a motor in a reverse direction when the voltage has dropped below the predetermined CPU operation voltage. The power supply voltage during operation is monitored, and twisting operation is suspended before the voltage drops below the CPU operation voltage, whereby the binding wire twisting mechanism is returned to the initial position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the binding wire twisting mechanism from being stopped while grasping the binding wire, when the CPU stops.
