DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the above described objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly and easy to understood, the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0045] Aiming at the technical problem of low pulling efficiency of the conventional strap pulling device, the present disclosure provides the strap pulling device, which greatly improves the pulling and laying efficiency of the strap.

[0046] As illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, the strap pulling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cutter mechanism 1, a first strap pulling mechanism 2, and a second strap pulling mechanism 3.

[0047] The first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 are configured to alternately clamp the strap at the pulling position A located upstream of a cutting position B, and pull the clamped strap to a transfer position C located downstream of the cutting position B.

[0048] When the first strap pulling mechanism 2 pulls the clamped strap to the transfer position C, the second strap pulling mechanism 3 clamps the strap at the pulling position A, and the cutter mechanism 1 cuts the strap at the cutting position B to acquire a strap segment having a predetermined length.

[0049] When the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pulls the clamped strap to the transfer position C, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 clamps the strap at the pulling position A, and the cutter mechanism 1 cuts the strap at the cutting position B to acquire the strap segment having the predetermined length.

[0050] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical scheme of the present disclosure, the working process of the strap pulling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

[0051] Before the strap pulling is officially started, a free end of the strap needs to be pulled and positioned at the pulling position A from the strap coil. Then start to perform the strap pulling operation as follows:

[0052] The first strap pulling mechanism 2 clamps the free end of the strap from the pulling position A, and pulls the clamped strap to the transfer position C. At the same time, the second strap pulling mechanism 3 moves to the pulling position A to clamp the strap. At this point, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the second strap pulling mechanism 3 and the first strap pulling mechanism 2 simultaneously clamp the strap from a front side and a rear side of the cutting position B.

[0053] The cutter mechanism 1 cuts the strap at the cutting position B, thereby obtaining one strap segment. At this point, a new free end of the strap is clamped in the second strap pulling mechanism 3.

[0054] Then, the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pulls the clamped strap to the transfer position C. At the same time, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 releases the strap segment, moves to the pulling position A and clamps the strap. At this point, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 simultaneously clamp the strap from the front side and the rear side of the cutting position B.

[0055] The cutter mechanism 1 cuts the strap at the cutting position B, thereby obtaining another strap segment. At this point, a new free end of the strap is clamped in the first strap pulling mechanism 2.

[0056] By repeatedly performing the pulling and cutting process described above, the strap segments can be acquired alternately, and the strap segments can be pulled to the transfer position C.

[0057] Of course, after pulling the free end of the strap to the pulling position A, the second strap pulling mechanism 3 may also perform the strap pulling action first.

[0058] It can be seen that in the strap pulling device according to the present disclosure, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 alternately clamp the strap from the pulling position A upstream of the cutter mechanism 1, and pull the strap to the transfer position C downstream of the cutter mechanism 1. In particular, when one of the strap pulling mechanisms pulls the previous section of strap to the transfer position C, the other strap pulling mechanism can simultaneously clamp the next section of strap at the pulling position A without waiting for the cutter mechanism to cut the strap. In addition, the strap located upstream of the cutter mechanism 1 has been clamped by the strap pulling mechanism at the pulling position A, thus the cutter mechanism 1 can cut the strap without waiting for the strap clamping mechanism to clamp the strap.

[0059] Compared with the conventional strap pulling device, the strap pulling device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure greatly improves the pulling efficiency of the strap and saves the strap feeding time.

[0060] Continuously reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, optionally, the strap pulling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a strap holding mechanism 4 arranged between the cutting position B and the transfer position C. When the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pull the strap to the transfer position C, the strap holding mechanism 4 is configured to hold the strap upward, so as to support the strap and prevent the falling of the strap.

[0061] Optionally, the strap holding mechanism 4 includes a holding portion and a first lifting driving portion, wherein the holding portion is connected to the first lifting driving portion, and the first lifting driving portion drives the lift portion to lift.

[0062] Optionally, a strap guide groove is provided on the holding portion, and the strap guiding groove is configured to guide and position the strap and prevent the strap from being horizontally displaced.

[0063] When the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 are performing strap pulling, and the holding portion is driven by the first lifting driving portion to descend to a low position, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism are avoided. After the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 complete the strap pulling action, the holding portion is driven by the first lifting driving portion to rise to a high position, so as to hold and support the strap.

[0064] As mentioned above, when the first strap pulling mechanism 2 or the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pulls the strap from the pulling position A for the first time, the free end of the strap needs to be pulled and positioned to the pulling position A.

[0065] In order to be able to position the free end of the strap at the pulling position A before the first strap pulling mechanism 2 or the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pulls for the first time, optionally, the strap pulling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a clamping mechanism 5 arranged upstream of the pulling position A. When the first strap pulling mechanism 2 or the second strap pulling mechanism 3 clamps the strap at the pulling position A for the first time, the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the free end of the strap, so as to clamp and position the free end of the strap.

[0066] Optionally, the cutter mechanism 1 includes a cutter and a second lifting driving portion, wherein the cutter is connected to the second lifting driving portion, and the second lifting driving portion is configured to drive the cutter to lift.

[0067] When the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 are performing strap pulling, and when the cutter is driven by the second lifting driving portion to descend to a low position, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 or the second strap pulling mechanism 3 are avoided. When it is necessary to cut the strap, the cutter is driven by the second lifting driving portion to a high position, so as to contact and cut the strap.

[0068] Optionally, the strap pulling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a strap transfer mechanism. The strap transfer mechanism is configured to clamp the strap pulled to the transfer position C, by the first strap pulling mechanism 2 or the second strap pulling mechanism 3, and pull the acquired strap segment onto the downstream position D.

[0069] That is, when the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pull the strap to the transfer position C, the strap transfer mechanism receives and clamps the free end of the strap, and then pull the strap segment acquired by cutting to the downstream position D. Of course, when the strap transfer mechanism clamps the strap, the strap may or may not have been cut.

[0070] Continuously reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, in order to receive the strap pulled by the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 in time, and improve the transmission efficiency. Optionally, the strap transfer mechanism includes a third strap pulling mechanism 6 and a fourth strap pulling mechanism 7, the third strap pulling mechanism 6 and the fourth strap pulling mechanism 7 are alternately clamp the strap from the transfer position C, and pull the strap segment to the downstream position D.

[0071] As illustrated in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, optionally, the strap pulling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure further comprises a mounting base 8, a first guide rail 9, and a second guide rail 10.

[0072] The first guide rail 9 and the second guide rail 10 are arranged side by side on the mounting base 8 along an extending direction of the strap.

[0073] The first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the fourth strap pulling mechanism 7 are slidably mounted on the first guide rail 9, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 slides along the first guide rail 9 to realize position switching between the pulling position A and the transfer position C, the fourth strap pulling mechanism 7 slides along the first guide rail 9 to realize position switching between the transfer position C and the downstream position D. The second strap pulling mechanism 3 and the third strap pulling mechanism 6 are slidably mounted on the second guide rail 9, and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 slides along the second guide rail 9 to realize position between the pulling position A and the transfer position C, the third strap pulling mechanism 6 slides along the second guide rail 9 to realize position switching between the transfer position C and the downstream position D.

[0074] It can be seen that by arranging the mounting base 8, the first guide rail 9 and the second guide rail 10, the first strap pulling mechanism 2, the second strap pulling mechanism 3, the third strap pulling mechanism 6 and the fourth strap pulling mechanism 7 are integrated and slidably mounted, so that each strap pulling mechanism can move and switch between the corresponding target positions respectively to complete the corresponding actions.

[0075] Optionally, the first strap pulling mechanism 2, the second strap pulling mechanism 3, the third strap pulling mechanism 6 and the fourth strap pulling mechanism 7 may adopt the same structure.

[0076] Taking the first strap pulling mechanism 2 as an example, as illustrated in FIG. it includes a sliding bracket 21, a mounting plate 22, a clamping driving mechanism, a first clamping mechanism, and a second clamping mechanism.

[0077] The sliding bracket 21 is connected to the first guide rail 8 or the second guide rail 9, and the mounting plate 22 is mounted on the sliding bracket 21. The first clamping mechanism includes a first clamping plate slidably mounted on the mounting plate 22 and a plurality of first jaws 23 arranged on the first clamping plate. The second clamping mechanism includes a second clamping plate fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 22 and a plurality of second jaws 24 arranged on the second clamping plate, the first jaw and the second jaw are arranged at intervals, and the adjacent first jaw and the second jaw constitute a group of j aw members. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the numbers of the first jaws 23 and the second jaws 24 are sixteen respectively, and correspondingly, sixteen groups of j aw members are formed to realize the simultaneous pulling of sixteen straps. Of course, other number of jaw members may be set to other numbers. Generally, the number of jaw members is equal to the number of straps included in a strap group to be pulled.

[0078] A driving end of the clamping driving mechanism is connected with the first clamping plate, which is configured to drive the first clamping plate to translate relative to the second clamping plate, so that the first jaw 23 and the second jaw 24 in each group of jaw members are clamped or separated, to clamp or release the corresponding strap.

[0079] Generally, the strap is divided into two groups: round strap and flat strap. When the flat strap is in a horizontal state, the first jaw 23 and the second jaw 24 directly clamp the flat strap, which may easily cause the flat strap to curl and deform. To solve this problem, optionally, a clamping surface of the first jaw 23 is provided with a first strap clamping groove, and a clamping surface of the second jaw 24 is provided with a second strap clamping groove corresponding to the first strap clamping groove, when the first jaw 23 and the second jaw 24 clamp the flat strap, the flat strap enters and is clamped in the first strap clamping groove and the second strap clamping groove.

[0080] Of course, the first strap pulling mechanism 2, the second strap pulling mechanism 3, the third strap pulling mechanism 6, and the fourth strap pulling mechanism 7 may adopt different structures. For example, in some embodiments, the first strap pulling mechanism 2 and the second strap pulling mechanism 3 adopt structures illustrated in FIG. 5, while the third strap pulling mechanism 6 and the fourth strap pulling mechanism 7 clamp and pull the strap by clamping the free end of the strap from upper and lower sides.

[0081] The present disclosure also provides a strap pulling method, which can be implemented by the strap pulling device according to the above-mentioned embodiment, comprising: [0082] controlling the first strap pulling mechanism 2 to clamp the strap at the pulling position A located upstream of the cutting position B, and pull the clamped strap to the transfer position C located downstream of the cutting position B; [0083] controlling the second strap holding mechanism 3 to clamp the strap at the pulling position A when the first strap pulling mechanism 2 pulls the strap to the transfer position; [0084] controlling the cutter mechanism 1 to cut the strap at the cutting position B to acquire a strap segment having a predetermined length; [0085] controlling the first strap pulling mechanism 3 to pull the clamped strap to the transfer position C; and [0086] controlling the first strap pulling mechanism 2 to clamp the strap at the pulling position A and pull the next section of the strap when the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pulls the strap to the transfer position C.

[0087] Optionally, the strap pulling method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure further comprises: [0088] controlling the strap transfer mechanism to clamp the end of the strap located at the transfer position C and pull the strap segment to the downstream position D when the first strap pulling mechanism 2 or the second strap pulling mechanism 3 pulls the strap to the transfer position C.

[0089] The disclosure has been described above in sufficient detail with certain particularities. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the descriptions in the embodiments are only exemplary, and all changes made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present disclosure should belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure. The claimed scope of the present disclosure is defined by the claims, rather than by the above description in the embodiments.
