next, the operation principle and the workflow of the intelligent strapping apparatus 100 will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2 to 5.

Please refer to fig. 2. The platen assembly 31 is illustrated above the table 20. Before the strapping operation is started, the to-be-strapped 50 may be placed in the placement area on the table 20 by a moving assembly or a worker. The strapping 41 is assembled to the table 20 below the to-be-strapped member 50, and the strapping 41 may be in either one of the first and second modes of construction. One end of the strapping 41 protrudes from the second hollow tube 4212 and extends to the clamp 4221 of the second clamping member 422, and the clamp 4221 clamps one end of the strapping 41. The initial position of the winding assembly 42 may be a position where the second hollow tube 4212 is located to the left of the table 20 as shown in the figures.

please refer to fig. 3 and fig. 4. After the bundling operation is started, an operation command is sent to each executing mechanism by the controller 10 according to actual requirements, and each executing mechanism executes corresponding operation according to the operation command.

Wherein the pressing plate assembly 31 is driven to move downward by the second driving assembly 32 of the air discharging mechanism 30 until pressing against the upper portion of the to-be-bundled member 50 (as shown in a dotted line position in fig. 3) to discharge the air in the to-be-bundled member 50, and the air discharging operation is completed. After the air exhausting operation is completed, the pressing plate assembly 31 can be kept pressed on the upper part of the to-be-bundled member 50, and the pressing plate assembly 31 can be driven to move upwards for resetting. As described above, the air discharging operation and the bundling operation may be performed simultaneously, or the bundling operation may be performed again in the air discharging operation, and may be performed according to actual demands.

The first driving assembly of the winding assembly 42 of the bundling mechanism 40 drives the hollow tube 421 to rotate from the initial position (the rotation direction is shown by the arrow direction in fig. 3), the second hollow tube 4212 rotates to the right from the position at the left side of the workbench 20, that is, from the position shown in fig. 2 to the position shown in fig. 4, and in the process of rotating the second hollow tube 4212, the bundling belt 41 is driven to wind on the upper portion of the to-be-bundled member 50, so as to complete the winding operation. After the winding operation is completed, the hollow tube 421 may be driven to return to the initial position by the first driving assembly.

If the strapping tape 41 adopts the first structural mode, that is, a winding structure, after the winding operation is completed, the wound portion of the strapping tape 41 wound around the outside of the to-be-strapped member 50 is disconnected from the set position by the disconnection assembly, and both ends of the wound portion are connected to each other by the connection assembly 43, thereby completing the strapping operation. After the strapping operation is completed, the platen assembly 31 may be driven to move upward for reset by the second drive assembly.

If secondary bundling is not required, the air suction member 4222 can be controlled by the controller 10 to stop, so that the clamp 4221 does not clamp the bundling belt 41 any more, and the bundling belt can be freely dropped or collected by a worker, etc. The bound tie is removed from the placement area by a movement assembly or a worker for subsequent operations.

if secondary strapping is required, the end of the strapping 41 may be continued to be sucked by the suction members 4222 for clamping by the clamps 4221. The bundle subjected to the primary bundling operation is turned by 90 ° by the reversing unit 60, and the secondary bundling operation is performed by the bundling mechanism 40, whereby the bundle 70 having been subjected to the secondary bundling operation is obtained in a substantially cross-shape as shown in fig. 5.

If the strapping tape 41 adopts the second structural mode, i.e., the number is plural, both ends of the wound strapping tape wound around the outside of the to-be-strapped member 50 are connected by the connecting assembly 43 after the winding operation is completed, thereby completing the strapping operation. After the strapping operation is completed, the platen assembly 31 may be driven to move upward for reset by the second drive assembly.

If secondary strapping is not required, the conveyor assembly may be controlled by the controller 10 to stop conveying the strapping tape 41. And the suction member 4222 is controlled to stop so that the clamp 4221 no longer clamps the strapping tape 41. The bound tie is removed from the placement area by a movement assembly or a worker for subsequent operations.

If secondary strapping is required, the strapping 41 may continue to be conveyed by the conveyor assembly and the end of the strapping 41 may continue to be sucked by the suction members 4222 for clamping by the clamps 4221. The bundle subjected to the primary bundling operation is turned by 90 ° by the reversing unit 60, and the secondary bundling operation is performed by the bundling mechanism 40, whereby the bundle 70 having been subjected to the secondary bundling operation is obtained in a substantially cross-shape as shown in fig. 5.
