Illustratively, the liner units 701 of at least two liner assemblies 70 are each sector-shaped annular. If the number of the lining plate assemblies 70 is N, each lining plate unit 701 is a sector-shaped circular ring with 360/N degrees, and when the supporting blocks 202 of the bearing part 20 bear the materials 50 and move to the cutting station, the lining plate units 701 move along the radial direction of the bearing part 20 in opposite directions to form a circular forming lining plate together with the supporting blocks 202.

It should be noted that, referring to fig. 3, the carrying driving portion 201 of the carrying portion 20 is located inside the machine body, and when the carrying portion 20 carries the material 50, the carrying driving portion 201 drives the supporting block 202 to lift the material 50 from the conveying portion 31 by the set distance h1, and the material reaches the cutting station. The twisting machine 1 of the present application is not limited to the foregoing structure, and the cutting station may be disposed on the carrying portion 20, that is, the carrying portion 20 does not need to move up and down along the first direction (as shown in the X direction in fig. 3), and the carrying portion 20 is used as a forming liner to carry the material 50 for cutting.

The specific structures of the bearing part 20 and the lining plate assembly 70 are not limited, and can be reasonably arranged and selected according to actual needs, so long as the cutting of the material 50 can be realized.

The specific structure and number of the first portion 501 and the second portion 502 of the material 50, the cutter blade 3022 and the twisting assembly 40 are not limited, and may be reasonably set and selected according to actual needs, so long as twisting of the material 50 can be achieved.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 2 to 9 in combination with fig. 10, a twisting system of the present utility model comprises: a twisting machine 1 and a shaping system. The shaping system comprises a shaping assembly 10 and a machine body 2, wherein the twisting machine 1 is arranged on the machine body 2. Wherein the fuselage 2 comprises: the support feet 21, the frame 22, the panel 23 and the bar 24. The support feet 21 are disposed on the ground-contacting portion of the body 70, and the frame 22 is supported and fixed by the panel 23 and the rod 24.

In some possible embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 10, the twisting system further comprises a delivery portion 31. The conveying part 31 is provided on the machine body 2 and is used for conveying the material 50 in the previous step to the twisting machine 1. Along the conveying direction of the conveying part 31 (as shown in the Z direction in fig. 10), a shaping assembly 10 is arranged on the machine body 2 downstream of the twisting machine 1, and the shaping assembly 10 is used for shaping the cut and turned material 50. Referring to fig. 10, the pressing device 102 is disposed above the conveying portion 31 along a first direction (as shown in an X direction in fig. 10).

Illustratively, referring to fig. 11, the conveying portion 31 is composed of a first conveying portion 311 and a second conveying portion 312, and the carrying portion 20 is located at an end of the first conveying portion 311 near the second conveying portion 312. The conveyor belt of the first conveying portion 311 is divided into two in the third direction (as shown in the direction E in fig. 11), and a gap 3110 is provided between the two conveyor belts, and the carrying portion 20 is located in the gap 3110. With the above design, when the material 50 is conveyed onto the supporting blocks 202 of the carrying portion 20 with reference to the figure, the carrying driving portion 201 can move the supporting blocks 202 carrying the material 50 upward from the gap 3110 to the cutting station along the first direction (as shown in X direction in fig. 11), so as to avoid the blocking of the supporting blocks 202 by the conveyor belt of the first conveying portion 311.

In some possible embodiments, the twisting system further comprises: a first sensor 321 and a second sensor 322. With continued reference to fig. 11, along the conveying direction of the conveying portion 31 (as shown in the Z direction in fig. 11), the first sensor 321 is disposed at a set distance h2 upstream of the carrying portion 20, and the second sensor 322 is disposed at a set distance h2 upstream of the shaping assembly 10. The first sensor 321 is configured to detect whether the material 50 exists at the set distance h2 upstream of the bearing portion 20, and if so, the bearing driving portion 201 drives the supporting block 202 to lift the material 50 upwards along the first direction (as shown by the X direction in fig. 11). The second sensor 322 is configured to detect the presence of the material 50 at a set distance h2 upstream of the shaping assembly 10, and if so, the shaping assembly 10 performs shaping.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 2 to 10 in combination with fig. 11, a twisting method of the present utility model is as follows:

the conveying part 31 conveys the material 50 to the bearing part 20 along the conveying direction (shown as the Z direction in fig. 11), and the bearing driving part 201 drives the supporting blocks 202 to move upwards along the first direction (shown as the X direction in fig. 11) so that the material 50 is positioned at the cutting station. Next, the lining units 701 of at least two lining assemblies 70 are driven by the lining driving part 702 to move towards each other along the radial direction (as shown in the Y direction in fig. 8) of the bearing part 20, so as to form a forming lining together with the supporting blocks 202 of the bearing part 20, and are used for bearing the materials 50.

Then, the cutter device 302 is moved downward in a first direction (as shown in X direction in fig. 3) by the cutter driving part 301, so that the material 50 is cut into at least one first portion 501 and a second portion 502. The second cutter driving part 3012 drives the outer die 3021 and the at least two cutter blades 3022 to move upward in the first direction (as shown in the X direction in fig. 3), and the liner plate unit 701 moves outward in the radial direction of the carrying part 20 (as shown in the Y direction in fig. 5) under the driving of the liner plate driving part 702, providing a working space for the twisting assembly 40. The clamping device 402 is driven by the twist driving part 401 to move in opposite directions along the radial direction (as shown in the Y direction in fig. 5) of the carrying part 20, so as to clamp the first portion 501 and rotate by a set angle.

After the twisting is completed, the clamping device 402 is driven by the twisting driving part 401 to move outwards along the radial direction (as shown in the Y direction in fig. 5) of the bearing part 20, the first cutter driving part 3011 drives the pressing block 3023 to move upwards along the first direction (as shown in the X direction in fig. 3), and the bearing driving part 201 drives the supporting block 202 to move downwards along the first direction (as shown in the X direction in fig. 11), so that the material 50 returns to the conveying part 31 and is carried and conveyed to the shaping assembly 10 by the conveying part 31. The material 50 is shaped by the shaping assembly 10 and then transported via the transport section 31 to a subsequent process, which may be, for example, a tray handler.

While the utility model has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is a further detailed description of the utility model with reference to specific embodiments, and it is not intended to limit the practice of the utility model to those descriptions. Various changes in form and detail may be made therein by those skilled in the art, including a few simple inferences or alternatives, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model.
