Description

The present invention relates to a binding machine for binding objects such as reinforcing bars with wires.

Conventionally, there has been proposed a binding machine called a reinforcing bar binding machine that winds a wire around two or more reinforcing bars, twists the wire wound around the reinforcing bars, and binds the two or more reinforcing bars with the wire.

The binding machine winds the wire, which is sent by the driving force of the motor, around the reinforcing bar by passing it through a guide called a curl guide or the like, which makes the wire curl. A guide called a guiding guide or the like guides the wire with this curly curl to a binding section where the wire is twisted, and the wire wound around the reinforcing bar is twisted at the binding section, so that the reinforcing bar becomes a wire. is concluded with.

The guide that guides the curled wire to the binding portion has a shape in which the gap between the pair of wall surfaces gradually narrows from the tip side where the wire enters toward the rear end side (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). As a result, the wire that has entered the guide that guides the curled wire to the binding portion is guided along the pair of wall surfaces that gradually become closer together.

International Publication No. 2017/014270

As the angle of entry of the wire entering the guide leading to the binding portion increases, when the tip of the wire comes into contact with one of the pair of wall surfaces, the angle at which the wire contacts the wall surface increases. As the contact angle of the wire with respect to the wall surface increases, frictional resistance increases when the wire slides along the wall surface, making it impossible to feed the wire.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a binding machine capable of reliably feeding wires regardless of the angle at which the wires approach.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a wire feeding section that feeds a wire wound around a bundle, a binding section that twists the wire wound around the bundle, and a curl of the wire fed by the wire feeding section. and a guide guide that guides the wire curled by the curl guide to the binding portion. The guide guide is fed by the wire feeder, and the wire curled by the curl guide is A hypothetical convergence passage where the cross-sectional area of the passage through which the wire passes narrows along the direction of entry of the wire from the entrance open end, and the narrowest portion where the cross-sectional area of the convergence passage is the narrowest Inside the line , there is provided an entrance angle regulating portion that changes the entrance angle of the wire entering the converging passage. In this binding machine, when the wire comes into contact with the part, the angle of entry of the wire entering the convergence path becomes smaller than before the wire comes into contact with the entry angle regulating part, and the wire is guided toward the narrowest part.

The guiding guide is fed by the wire feeder from the open end side of the convergence passage having a large cross-sectional area, and the wire that is curled by the curl guide enters. A wire entering from the open end is guided toward the narrowest portion because the cross-sectional area of the converging passage gradually narrows toward the narrowest portion. Furthermore, the leading end of the wire entering the guidance guide is changed by the approach angle regulating portion so as to face the narrowest portion.

In the present invention, the wire can be guided toward the narrowest part of the convergence passage regardless of the angle of entry of the wire entering the guiding guide, and the wire is fed by the wire feeder and curled by the curl guide. can be reliably guided to the binding portion.

The reinforcing bar binding machine 1A feeds the wire W in the forward direction indicated by the arrow F, winds it around the reinforcing bar S which is the object to be bound, and rotates the wire W wound around the reinforcing bar S in the opposite direction indicated by the arrow R. After being sent and wound around the reinforcing bar S, the wire W is twisted and the reinforcing bar S is bound with the wire W.例文帳に追加

The reinforcing bar binding machine 1A has a magazine 2A in which wires W are stored and a wire feeding section 3A for feeding the wires W in order to realize the functions described above. The reinforcing bar binding machine 1A also has a first wire guide 4A ₁ that guides the wire W drawn into the wire feeding section 3A and a wire W that is fed out from the wire feeding section 3A in the operation of feeding the wire W in the forward direction by the wire feeding section 3A. A second wire guide _4A2 is provided for guiding the wire W to be drawn.

Further, the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A includes a curl forming section 5A that configures a path for winding the wire W sent by the wire feeding section 3A around the reinforcing bar S. As shown in FIG. In addition, the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A has a cutting section 6A for cutting the wire W wound around the reinforcing bar S and a cutting section 6A for cutting the wire W wound around the reinforcing bar S and twisting the wire W wound around the reinforcing bar S by feeding the wire W in the opposite direction by the wire feeding section 3A. and a driving portion 8A for driving the binding portion 7A.

The magazine 2A is an example of a storage unit, and stores a reel 20 on which a long wire W is wound so as to be able to be fed out, in a rotatable and detachable manner. As the wire W, a wire composed of a plastically deformable metal wire, a wire in which the metal wire is coated with resin, or a stranded wire is used.

The reel 20 includes a tubular hub portion 21 around which the wire W is wound, and a pair of flange portions 22 and 23 integrally provided on both axial end sides of the hub portion 21 . The flange portions 22 and 23 have a substantially disk-like shape with a larger diameter than the hub portion 21 and are provided concentrically with the hub portion 21 . Two wires W are wound around the hub portion 21 of the reel 20 so that the two wires W can be pulled out from the reel 20 at the same time.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the magazine 2A is arranged along the axial direction of the hub portion 21 with respect to the feeding path FL of the wire W defined by the first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ . The reel 20 is attached while being offset in one direction along the axial direction of the reel 20 . In this example, the entire hub portion 21 of the reel 20 is offset in one direction with respect to the feed path FL of the wire W. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 8A is a front view showing an example of a wire feeding section, and FIG. 8B is a plan view showing an example of a wire feeding section. Next, the configuration of the wire feeding section 3A will be described. The wire feeding section 3A is provided with a first feeding gear 30L and a second feeding gear 30R for feeding the wire W by rotating motion as a pair of feeding members for sandwiching and feeding two wires W arranged in parallel.

The first feed gear 30L has a tooth portion 31L for transmitting driving force. The tooth portion 31L has a shape constituting a spur gear in this example, and is formed along the entire outer periphery of the first feed gear 30L. Further, the first feed gear 30L has a groove portion 32L into which the wire W is inserted. In this example, the groove portion 32L is a concave portion having a substantially V-shaped cross section, and is formed along the entire circumference of the outer circumference of the first feed gear 30L along the circumferential direction.

The second feed gear 30R has a tooth portion 31R for transmitting driving force. The tooth portion 31R has a shape constituting a spur gear in this example, and is formed all around the outer periphery of the second feed gear 30R. The second feed gear 30R also has a groove 32R into which the wire W is inserted. In this example, the groove portion 32R is formed by a concave portion having a substantially V-shaped cross section, and is formed along the entire circumference of the outer circumference of the second feed gear 30R along the circumferential direction.

In the wire feeding portion 3A, the groove portion 32L of the first feed gear 30L and the groove portion 32R of the second feed gear 30R are opposed to each other, and the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R form a first wire guide. It is provided so as to sandwich the feed path FL of the wire W defined by 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ . The feeding path FL of the wire W becomes the width center position of the wire feeding portion 3A formed by the pair of the first feeding gear 30L and the second feeding gear 30R. Then, as shown in FIG. 4B and the like, the reel 20 is arranged in a state of being offset in one direction with respect to the width center position of the wire feeding section 3A.

The wire feed section 3A is configured to be displaceable in directions in which the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R approach and separate from each other. In this example, the second feed gear 30R is displaced with respect to the first feed gear 30L.

Therefore, the first feed gear 30L is rotatably supported by the shaft 300L with respect to the support member 301 of the wire feeding section 3A. The wire feed section 3A also includes a first displacement member 36 that displaces the second feed gear 30R in the direction toward and away from the first feed gear 30L. The first displacement member 36 rotatably supports the second feed gear 30R on one end side via a shaft 300R. Further, the first displacement member 36 is rotatably supported by the support member 301 at the other end with the shaft 36a as a fulcrum.

The wire feeding section 3A includes a second displacement member 37 that displaces the first displacement member 36. As shown in FIG. The first displacement member 36 is connected to one end of the second displacement member 37 . A spring 38 is connected to the other end of the second displacement member 37 . Further, the second displacement member 37 is rotatably supported by the support member 301 between one end side and the other end side with the shaft 37a as a fulcrum.

The first displacement member 36 is pressed by a spring 38 via a second displacement member 37, and is displaced in the direction of arrow V1 by rotational movement about a shaft 36a. As a result, the force of the spring 38 presses the second feed gear 30R toward the first feed gear 30L.

When two wires W are loaded between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R, one wire W enters the groove 32L of the first feed gear 30L, and the second wire W The wire W is sandwiched between the groove 32L of the first feed gear 30L and the groove 32R of the second feed gear 30R such that the other wire W enters the groove 32R of the feed gear 30R.

The wire feeding portion 3A is configured to feed the wire W between the groove portion 32L of the first feed gear 30L and the groove portion 32R of the second feed gear 30R while the wire W is sandwiched between the tooth portion 31L of the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30L. , the teeth 31R of the feed gear 30R mesh with each other. As a result, a rotational driving force is transmitted between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R.

In the wire feed section 3A, in this example, the first feed gear 30L is on the driving side and the second feed gear 30R is on the driven side.

The rotation of a feed motor (not shown) is transmitted to the first feed gear 30L to rotate. The rotation of the first feed gear 30L is transmitted to the second feed gear 30R by the engagement between the teeth 31L and the teeth 31R, and the second feed gear 30R rotates following the first feed gear 30L.

Thereby, the wire feed section 3A feeds the wire W sandwiched between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R along the extending direction of the wire W. As shown in FIG. In the configuration for feeding two wires W, the frictional force generated between the groove 32L of the first feed gear 30L and one of the wires W, and the friction between the groove 32R of the second feed gear 30R and the other wire W The two wires W are fed in parallel due to the frictional force generated and the frictional force generated between one wire W and the other wire W.

The wire feed unit 3A switches the rotation direction of a feed motor (not shown) between forward and reverse, thereby switching the rotation directions of the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R, thereby switching the forward and reverse directions of the wire W feeding. can be switched.

Next, a wire guide that guides the feeding of the wire W will be described. As shown in FIG. 4B, the first wire guide 4A ₁ is arranged upstream of the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R with respect to the forward feed direction of the wire W. As shown in FIG. The second wire guide _4A2 is arranged downstream of the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R with respect to the feeding direction of the wire W fed forward.

The first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ have guide holes 40A through which the wires W pass. In the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, the path of the wire W fed by the wire feeding section 3A is regulated by the curl forming section 5A, so that the trajectory of the wire W forms a loop Ru as indicated by the dashed line in FIG. wrapped around S.

When the direction crossing the radial direction of the loop Ru formed by the wire W is defined as the axial direction, the guide holes 40A of the first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ are arranged in the axial direction of the loop Ru. It is constructed in a shape in which two wires W are passed in parallel along the same. The direction in which the two wires W are arranged is also the direction in which the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R are arranged.

The first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ are provided with a guide hole 40A on the feed path FL of the wire W passing between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R. The first wire guide 4A ₁ guides the wire W passing through the guide hole 40A to the feed path FL between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R.

In the first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ , the wire introduction part located upstream of the guide hole 40A with respect to the feed direction of the wire W fed in the positive direction has an opening area larger than that of the downstream side. It has a tapered shape, such as a conical shape or a pyramidal shape with a larger diameter. This facilitates introduction of the wire W into the first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ .

Next, the curl forming section 5A that constitutes the feed path of the wire W for winding the wire W around the reinforcing bar S will be described. The curl forming section 5A includes a curl guide 50 for imparting a curl to the wire W fed by the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R, and the wire W curled by the curl guide 50 to the binding section 7A. A guidance guide 51A is provided for guidance.

The curl guide 50 includes a guide groove 52 forming a feeding path of the wire W, and a first guide pin 53a and a second guide pin 53b as guide members for imparting curl to the wire W in cooperation with the guide groove 52. and a third guide pin 53c. The curl guide 50 has a configuration in which a guide plate 50L, a guide plate 50C, and a guide plate 50R are laminated, and the guide surface of the guide groove 52 is formed by the guide plate 50C. Further, the guide plates 50L and 50R form side wall surfaces standing from the guide surface of the guide groove 52. As shown in FIG.

The first guide pin 53a is provided on the introduction portion side of the wire W fed in the forward direction by the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R in the curl guide 50 . The first guide pin 53 a is arranged radially inside the loop Ru formed by the wire W with respect to the feed path of the wire W formed by the guide groove 52 . The first guide pin 53a regulates the feed path of the wire W so that the wire W fed along the guide groove 52 does not enter the loop Ru formed by the wire W in the radial direction.

The second guide pin 53b is provided between the first guide pin 53a and the third guide pin 53c. The second guide pin 53 b is arranged radially outside the loop Ru formed by the wire W with respect to the feed path of the wire W along the guide groove 52 . A part of the peripheral surface of the second guide pin 53 b protrudes from the guide groove 52 . As a result, the wire W guided by the guide groove 52 comes into contact with the second guide pin 53b at the portion where the second guide pin 53b is provided.

The third guide pin 53c is provided on the discharge portion side of the wire W fed forward in the curl guide 50 by the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R. The third guide pin 53 c is arranged radially outside the loop Ru formed by the wire W with respect to the feed path of the wire W along the guide groove 52 . A part of the peripheral surface of the third guide pin 53 c protrudes from the guide groove 52 . As a result, the wire W guided by the guide groove 52 comes into contact with the third guide pin 53c at the portion where the third guide pin 53c is provided.

The curl forming section 5A includes a retraction mechanism 53 that retracts the first guide pin 53a. The retracting mechanism 53 moves the first guide pin 53a laterally along the axial direction of the first guide pin 53a, so that the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R move the wire in opposite directions. By feeding W, the first guide pin 53a is retracted from the path along which the wire W wound around the reinforcing bar S moves.

Next, the effect of giving the wire W a curl will be described. The wire W fed in the positive direction by the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R is divided into two radially outer points of the loop Ru formed by the wire W and an inner one point between these two points. By restricting the radial position of the loop Ru formed by the wire W at at least three points, the wire W is given a loop-like curl.

In this example, a second wire guide 4A 2 provided upstream of the first guide pin 53a and a wire guide 4A ₂ provided downstream of the first guide pin 53a with respect to the feed direction of the wire W fed in the positive direction. The radially outer position of the loop Ru formed by the wire W is regulated by two points of the third guide pin 53c. Further, the radially inner position of the loop Ru formed by the wire W is regulated by the first guide pin 53a. As a result, the wire W forwarded in the forward direction by the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R is given a looped curl.

By providing the second guide pin 53b in the guide groove 52 at the position outside the loop Ru formed by the wire W in the radial direction and in contact with the wire W sent to the third guide pin 53c, Wear of the guide groove 52 can be prevented.

FIG. 9D is a side view showing the guiding guide of the first embodiment. 9E is a cross-sectional view along the line BB of FIG. 9A, FIG. 9F is a cross-sectional view along the DD line of FIG. 9D, and FIG. 9G is a broken perspective view showing the guidance guide of the first embodiment. .

Next, the guiding guide 51A of the first embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG. 4A, the guidance guide 51A is in one direction in which the reel 20 is offset with respect to the feed path FL of the wire W defined by the first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ . It is provided at a position offset in the other direction, which is the opposite direction.

The guiding guide 51A includes a first guide portion 55 for regulating the axial position of the loop Ru formed by the wire W curled by the curl guide 50, and a radial direction for the loop Ru formed by the wire W. A second guide portion 57 is provided for regulating the position of the .

The first guide portion 55 is provided on the side of the second guide portion 57 to which the wire W that has been curled by the curl guide 50 is introduced. The first guide portion 55 has a side portion 55L on one side, which is the side located in one direction in which the reel 20 is offset. Also, the first guide portion 55 has a side portion 55R facing the side portion 55L on the other side, which is the side opposite to the one direction in which the reel 20 is offset. Further, the first guide portion 55 includes a bottom surface portion 55D that connects the side portion 55L and the side portion 55R with the side portion 55L standing on one side and the side portion 55R standing on the other side.

The second guide portion 57 has a guide surface 57a formed by a surface extending toward the binding portion 7A along the feeding direction of the wire W on the radially outer side of the loop Ru formed by the wire W. As shown in FIG.

One side surface portion 55L of the first guide portion 55 includes a first guide portion 55L1 that guides the wire W to the guide surface 57a of the second guide portion 57, and a second guide portion 55L1 that guides the wire W along the guide surface 57a. 2 guide portions 55L2 are provided.

The other side portion 55R of the first guide portion 55 includes a third guide portion 55R1 that guides the wire W to the guide surface 57a of the second guide portion 57, and a third guide portion 55R1 that guides the wire W along the guide surface 57a. 4 guide portions 55R2 are provided.

In the guide 51A, a space surrounded by a pair of side surfaces 55L and 55R and a bottom surface 55D constitutes a converging passage 55S. Further, the guiding guide 51A is formed with an open end 55E1 through which the wire W enters the converging passage 55S. The open end portion 55E1 is the end portion of the first guide portion 55 on the side away from the second guide portion 57, and is open in a space surrounded by the pair of side portions 55L and 55R and the bottom portion 55D. there is

In the first guide portion 55, the distance between the first guide portion 55L1 and the third guide portion 55R1 becomes narrower from the open end portion 55E1 toward the guide surface 57a of the second guide portion 57. As shown in FIG. As a result, the first guide portion 55 is such that the distance between the first guide portion 55L1 and the third guide portion 55R1 is the same as the opening end portion 55EL1 of the first guide portion 55L1 located at the opening end portion 55E1 and the opening end portion 55EL1 of the first guide portion 55L1 located at the opening end portion 55E1. 3 and the open end portion 55ER1 of the guide portion 55R1.

A fourth guide portion 55R2 connected to the second guide surface 55R2 is positioned on the other side of the guide surface 57a. The second guide portion 55L2 and the fourth guide portion 55R2 face each other in parallel with a predetermined gap equal to or greater than the radial width of the two wires W arranged in parallel.

As a result, the first guide portion 55L1 is connected to the second guide portion 55L2, and the third guide portion 55R1 is connected to the fourth guide portion 55R2. The part that connects with is the narrowest. Therefore, the portion where the first guide portion 55L1 and the second guide portion 55L2 are connected is the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the first guide portion 55L1 with respect to the third guide portion 55R1. A portion where the third guide portion 55R1 and the fourth guide portion 55R2 are connected is the narrowest portion 55ER2 of the third guide portion 55R1 with respect to the first guide portion 55L1.

As a result, the guide 51A has the narrowest portion 55E2 of the converging passage 55S between the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the first guiding portion 55L1 and the narrowest portion 55ER2 of the third guiding portion 55R1. In the guidance guide 51A, the cross-sectional area of the convergence passage 55S gradually narrows from the open end 55E1 toward the narrowest portion 55E2 along the direction in which the wire W enters.

The guidance guide 51A includes an entrance angle regulating portion 56A that changes the entrance angle of the wire W entering the convergence passage 55S so that it faces the narrowest portion 55E2.

In the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, the reels 20 are arranged offset in one direction. The wire W fed from the reel 20 offset in one direction by the wire feeder 3A and curled by the curl guide 50 is fed in the other direction opposite to the one direction in which the reel 20 is offset. head to

Therefore, the wire W entering the converging passage 55S between the side portion 55L and the side portion 55R of the first guide portion 55 first enters the third guiding portion 55R1 of the side portion 55R. between the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the first guiding portion 55L1 and the narrowest portion 55ER2 of the third guiding portion 55R1. That is, it is directed toward the narrowest portion 55E2 of the converging passage 55S. Therefore, an approach angle restricting portion 56A is provided in the first guiding portion 55L1 of the side portion 55L facing the side portion 55R.

The approach angle regulating portion 56A is defined by a virtual line connecting the opening end portion 55E1 and the narrowest portion 55E2 of the converging passage 55S, in this example, the opening end portion 55EL1 of the first guiding portion 55L1 and the narrowest portion 55EL2. It is provided at a position that protrudes inward from the imaginary line 55EL3 that is on the side portion 55R side of the imaginary line 55EL3. In this example, the approach angle regulating portion 56A is configured such that the portion near the middle between the opening end portion 55EL1 and the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the first guide portion 55L1 is shaped to be convex in the direction of the third guide portion 55R1. be. As a result, the first guide portion 55L1 has a bent shape in a plan view shown in FIG. 9A.

As shown in FIG. As a result, the locking member 70 rotates around the shaft 76 to open and close in the direction in which the distal end side of the first movable locking member 70L moves away from and contacts the fixed locking member 70C. Also, the distal end side of the second movable locking member 70R opens and closes in the direction of separating and contacting the fixed locking member 70C.

The actuating member 71 and the rotating shaft 72 are arranged so that the rotational movement of the rotating shaft 72 is controlled by the screw portion provided on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 72 and the nut portion provided on the inner periphery of the actuating member 71 as indicated by arrows A1 and A2. This translates into forward and backward movement of the actuating member 71 along the axial direction of 72 . The operating member 71 includes an opening/closing pin 71a for opening and closing the first movable locking member 70L and the second movable locking member 70R.

The opening/closing guide hole 73 extends along the moving direction of the operating member 71, and the linear movement of the opening/closing pin 71a, which moves in conjunction with the operating member 71, is controlled by the shaft 76 as a fulcrum. It has a shape that converts to an opening/closing operation by rotation of the member 70L and the second movable locking member 70R. Although FIGS. 10A and 10B show the opening/closing guide hole 73 provided in the first movable locking member 70L, the second movable locking member 70R also has a symmetrical opening/closing hole. A guide hole 73 is provided.

In the bundling portion 7A, the side provided with the locking member 70 is defined as the front side, and the side provided with the operation member 71 is defined as the rear side. When the operating member 71 moves in the rearward direction indicated by the arrow A2, the locking member 70 is moved to the first movable locking member as shown in FIG. 70L and the second movable locking member 70R are moved away from the fixed locking member 70C by rotational motion about the shaft 76 as a fulcrum.

As a result, the first movable locking member 70L and the second movable locking member 70A are opened with respect to the fixed locking member 70C, and the gap between the first movable locking member 70L and the fixed locking member 70C A feeding path through which the wire W passes is formed between the second movable locking member 70R and the fixed locking member 70C.

When the first movable locking member 70L and the second movable locking member 70R are open with respect to the fixed locking member 70C, the wire W fed by the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R are guided by the first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ and pass between the fixed locking member 70C and the first movable locking member 70L. A wire W passing between the fixed locking member 70C and the first movable locking member 70L is guided to the curl forming portion 5A. Further, the wire W, which is curled at the curl forming portion 5A and guided to the binding portion 7A, passes between the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R.

As the operating member 71 moves in the forward direction indicated by the arrow A1, the locking member 70 moves to the first movable locking member as shown in FIG. 70L and the second movable locking member 70R move toward the fixed locking member 70C by rotating with the shaft 76 as a fulcrum. This closes the first movable locking member 70L and the second movable locking member 70A with respect to the fixed locking member 70C.

When the first movable locking member 70L is closed with respect to the fixed locking member 70C, the wire W sandwiched between the first movable locking member 70L and the fixed locking member 70C is moved to the first movable locking member. It is locked in such a manner that it can move between the stop member 70L and the fixed locking member 70C. Further, when the second movable locking member 70R is closed with respect to the fixed locking member 70C, the wire W sandwiched between the second movable locking member 70R and the fixed locking member 70C is pulled from the second locking member 70R. It is locked in such a manner that it cannot be pulled out from between the movable locking member 70R and the fixed locking member 70C.

The operating member 71 has a bending portion 71b1 that pushes and bends the tip WS side, which is one end of the wire W, in a predetermined direction, and a terminal end (WE) side that is the other end of the wire W cut by the cutting portion 6A. is bent in a predetermined direction.

By moving in the forward direction indicated by the arrow A1, the operating member 71 pushes the tip WS side of the wire W locked by the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R with the bent portion 71b1, thereby bending the reinforcing bar. Bend to the S side. Further, the operating member 71 moves forward as indicated by the arrow A1, is locked by the fixed locking member 70C and the first movable locking member 70L, and is the terminal end of the wire W cut at the cutting portion 6A ( WE) side is pushed by the bending portion 71b2 and bent to the reinforcing bar S side.

The binding portion 7A includes a rotation restricting portion 74 that restricts the rotation of the locking member 70 and the operating member 71 interlocked with the rotation of the rotating shaft 72 . The rotation restricting portion 74 is provided on the operating member 71 . The rotation restricting portion 74 is locked by a locking portion (not shown) in a motion range in which the wire W is locked by the locking member 70 and in a motion region in which the wire W is bent by the bending portions 71b1 and 71b2 of the operating member 71 . As a result, the rotation of the operating member 71 interlocked with the rotation of the rotating shaft 72 is restricted, and the rotating motion of the rotating shaft 72 causes the operating member 71 to move in the front-rear direction. In addition, the rotation regulating portion 74 is unlocked from a locking portion (not shown) in an operation range in which the wire W locked by the locking member 70 is twisted, and is interlocked with the rotation of the rotating shaft 72 to rotate the operating member. Rotate 71. In the locking member 70, the fixed locking member 70C locking the wire W, the first movable locking member 70L, and the second movable locking member 70R rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the operating member 71. FIG.

The drive unit 8A includes a motor 80 and a speed reducer 81 that reduces speed and amplifies torque. The binding section 7A and the driving section 8A are connected by a rotary shaft 72 and a motor 80 via a speed reducer 81, and the rotary shaft 72 is driven by the motor 80 via a speed reducer 81. As shown in FIG.

The retraction mechanism 53 of the first guide pin 53a described above is configured by a link mechanism that converts the movement of the operating member 71 in the front-rear direction into displacement of the first guide pin 53a. Further, the transmission mechanism 62 of the movable blade portion 61 is configured by a link mechanism that converts the movement of the operating member 71 in the front-rear direction into the rotational motion of the movable blade portion 61 .

Next, the feed regulating portion 9A that regulates the feeding of the wire W will be described. The feed restricting portion 9A is configured by providing a member against which the tip WS of the wire W abuts on the feed path of the wire W passing between the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4B, the feed restricting portion 9A is formed integrally with a guide plate 50R that constitutes the curl guide 50 in this example, and protrudes from the guide plate 50R in a direction that intersects the feed path of the wire W. do.

The feed restricting portion 9A includes a parallel restricting portion 90 that guides the wires W to be aligned. The parallel regulating portion 90 is provided on the surface of the _feed regulating portion _9A with which the wire W is in contact. It is configured by providing a concave portion extending in the direction of

Next, the shape of the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A will be described. The reinforcing bar binding machine 1A is held in the hand of an operator for use, and includes a main body portion 10A and a handle portion 11A. In the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, the curl guide 50 and the guide guide 51A of the curl forming section 5A described above are provided at the front end of the main body 10A. Further, in the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, the handle portion 11A extends downward from the main body portion 10A. Furthermore, a battery 15A is detachably attached to the lower portion of the handle portion 11A. Further, the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A is provided with a magazine 2A in front of the handle portion 11A. In the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, the wire feeding section 3A, the cutting section 6A, the binding section 7A, the driving section 8A for driving the binding section 7A, and the like are housed in the main body section 10A.

Next, the operating section of the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A will be described. The reinforcing bar binding machine 1A is provided with a trigger 12A on the front side of a handle portion 11A and a switch 13A inside the handle portion 11A. In the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, the controller 14A controls the motor 80 and the feed motor (not shown) according to the state of the switch 13A pressed by operating the trigger 12A.

<Operation example of rebar binding machine>
11A to 11E are operation explanatory diagrams showing an example of the operation of binding a reinforcing bar with a wire. Next, referring to each figure, an operation of binding a reinforcing bar S with two wires W by a reinforcing bar binding machine 1A. will be explained.

In the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, two wires W are sandwiched between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R, and the tip WS of the wire W is connected to the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R. A standby state is a state in which the cutting portion 6A is positioned between the clamping position with the feed gear 30R and the fixed blade portion 60 of the cutting portion 6A. Further, in the standby state of the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, as shown in FIG. 10A, the first movable locking member 70L is opened with respect to the fixed locking member 70C, and the second movable locking member 70R is fixedly locked. It is open with respect to the member 70C.

When the reinforcing bar S is inserted between the curl guide 50 and the guiding guide 51A of the curl forming section 5A and the trigger 12A is operated, the feed motor (not shown) is driven in the forward rotation direction, and the first feed gear 30L rotates forward. At the same time, the second feed gear 30R rotates forward following the first feed gear 30L. As a result, the two wires W sandwiched between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R are fed in the positive direction indicated by the arrow F.

A first wire guide 4A 1 is provided upstream of the wire feeding section _{3A, and a second wire guide 4A 2 is} provided downstream of the wire feeding section 3A with respect to the feeding direction of the wire W fed forward by the wire feeding section 3A. Thus, the two wires W are fed in parallel along the axial direction of the loop Ru formed by the wires W. As shown in FIG.

When the wire W is sent in the forward direction, the wire W passes between the fixed locking member 70C and the first movable locking member 70L and passes through the guide groove 52 of the curl guide 50 of the curl forming portion 5A. As a result, the wire W passes through the second wire guide 4A ₂ , the first guide pin 53a and the third guide pin 53c of the curl guide 50, and the three points on the upstream side of the third guide pin 53c. The second guide pin 53b is used to form a curl around the reinforcing bar S. As shown in FIG.

The wire W curled by the curl guide 50 is guided to the second guide portion 57 by the first guide portion 55 of the guide 51A. The wire W guided to the second guide portion 57 contacts the guide surface 57a of the second guide portion 57 at the tip WS as shown in FIG. 11A. The wire W that has been curled by the curl guide 50 is further fed in the forward direction by the wire feeding section 3A, and guided between the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R by the guidance guide 51A. be done. Then, the wire W is fed until the tip WS abuts against the feed restricting portion 9A. When the tip WS of the wire W is fed to a position where it abuts against the feed restricting portion 9A, the driving of the feed motor (not shown) is stopped.

Since there is a slight time lag from when the tip WS of the wire W comes in contact with the feed restricting portion 9A to when the wire feeding portion 3A is stopped, as shown in FIG. The loop Ru bends in a radially widening direction to the extent that it contacts the bottom surface portion 55D of the first guide portion 55 of the guide 51A.

After the forward feeding of the wire W is stopped, the motor 80 is driven in the forward rotation direction. The rotation of the rotating shaft 72 of the operating member 71 interlocked with the rotation of the motor 80 is restricted by the rotation restricting portion 74, and the rotation of the motor 80 is converted into linear movement. As a result, the actuating member 71 moves forward in the arrow A1 direction.

When the operating member 71 moves forward, the opening/closing pin 71a passes through the opening/closing guide hole 73 as shown in FIG. 10B. As a result, the first movable locking member 70L rotates about the shaft 76 and moves toward the fixed locking member 70C. When the first movable locking member 70L is closed with respect to the fixed locking member 70C, the wire W sandwiched between the first movable locking member 70L and the fixed locking member 70C is moved to the first movable locking member. It is locked in such a manner that it can move between the stop member 70L and the fixed locking member 70C.

Further, the second movable locking member 70R rotates about the shaft 76 and moves in a direction approaching the fixed locking member 70C. When the second movable locking member 70R closes against the fixed locking member 70C, the wire W sandwiched between the second movable locking member 70R and the fixed locking member 70C is pulled into the second movable locking member. It is locked in such a manner that it does not slip out from between the stop member 70R and the fixed locking member 70C.

Furthermore, when the operating member 71 moves forward, the motion of the operating member 71 is transmitted to the retraction mechanism 53, and the first guide pin 53a retracts.

After the operation member 71 is advanced to the position where the wire W is locked by the closing operation of the first movable locking member 70L and the second movable locking member 70R, the rotation of the motor 80 is temporarily stopped, and the feed (not shown) is stopped. Drive the motor in the reverse rotation direction. As a result, the first feed gear 30L is reversed, and the second feed gear 30R is reversed following the first feed gear 30L.

Therefore, the wire W sandwiched between the first feed gear 30L and the second feed gear 30R is fed in the opposite direction indicated by the arrow R. Since the tip WS side of the wire W is locked so as not to come off from between the second movable locking member 70R and the fixed locking member 70C, the wire W can be fed in the opposite direction, as shown in FIG. 11C. , the wire W is wound around the reinforcing bar S so as to be in close contact therewith.

After the wire W is wound around the reinforcing bar S and the driving of the feed motor (not shown) in the reverse rotation direction is stopped, the motor 80 is driven in the forward rotation direction to move the operating member 71 forward as indicated by the arrow A1. The forward movement of the actuating member 71 is transmitted to the cutting section 6A by the transmission mechanism 62, thereby rotating the movable blade section 61 and locking it between the first movable locking member 70L and the fixed locking member 70C. The wire W is cut by the operation of the fixed blade portion 60 and the movable blade portion 61 .

After cutting the wire W, by further moving the operating member 71 forward, the bent portions 71b1 and 71b2 move toward the reinforcing bar S as shown in FIG. 11D. As a result, the tip WS side of the wire W locked by the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R is pressed toward the reinforcing bar S by the bending portion 71b1, and the reinforcing bar S is bent using the locking position as a fulcrum. bend to the side. As the operating member 71 moves further forward, the wire W locked between the second movable locking member 70R and the fixed locking member 70C is held in a state of being sandwiched between the bent portions 71b1. be.

In addition, the end WE side of the wire W, which is locked by the fixed locking member 70C and the first movable locking member 70L and cut by the cutting portion 6A, is pressed toward the reinforcing bar S by the bending portion 71b2 and locked. Bend to the reinforcing bar S side with the position as the fulcrum. As the operating member 71 moves further forward, the wire W locked between the first movable locking member 70L and the fixed locking member 70C is held in a state of being sandwiched between the bent portions 71b2. be.

After bending the tip WS side and the terminal WE side of the wire W toward the reinforcing bar S side, the motor 80 is further driven in the forward rotation direction, so that the operating member 71 moves further forward. By moving the operating member 71 to a predetermined position, the locking of the rotation restricting portion 74 is released.

As a result, the motor 80 is further driven in the forward rotation direction, so that the operating member 71 rotates in conjunction with the rotating shaft 72, and the locking member 70 holding the wire W is integrated with the operating member 71. It rotates and twists the wire W, as shown in FIG. 11E.

After twisting the wire W, the motor 80 is driven in the reverse direction of rotation. The rotation of the rotating shaft 72 of the operating member 71 interlocked with the rotation of the motor 80 is restricted by the rotation restricting portion 74, and the rotation of the motor 80 is converted into linear movement. As a result, the actuating member 71 moves in the arrow A2 direction, which is the rearward direction.

When the operating member 71 moves backward, the bent portions 71b1 and 71b2 are separated from the wire W, and the wire W is no longer held by the bent portions 71b1 and 71b2. Further, when the operating member 71 moves backward, the opening/closing pin 71a passes through the opening/closing guide hole 73 as shown in FIG. 10A. As a result, the first movable locking member 70L rotates about the shaft 76 and moves away from the fixed locking member 70C. Further, the second movable locking member 70R rotates about the shaft 76 and moves away from the fixed locking member 70C. As a result, the wire W is removed from the locking member 70 .

12A, 12B, and 12C are explanatory diagrams showing the movement of the wire in the guide of the first embodiment. Next, the effect of guiding the wire W with the guide 51A will be described.

As described above, the wire W curled by the curl guide 50 is directed in the other direction opposite to the one direction in which the reel 20 is offset. Therefore, in the guiding guide 51A, the wire W entering between the side portion 55L and the side portion 55R of the first guide portion 55 first enters the third guiding portion 55R1 of the side portion 55R.

Now, in the conventional reinforcing bar binding machine, the diameter of the wire trajectory that is curled by the curl guide to form a loop is assumed to be a circle, with a diameter of about 50 to 70 mm. On the other hand, in the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, assuming that the trajectory of the wire W that is curled by the curl guide 50 to form the loop Ru is a circle, the length in the major axis direction is about 75 mm or more and 100 mm or less. .

Assuming that the trajectory of the wire W that forms the loop Ru by being curled by the curl guide 50 is an ellipse in this way, if the length in the major axis direction is about 75 mm or more and 100 mm or less, the side portion 55R will have a length of about 75 mm or more and 100 mm or less. The approach angle α1 of the wire W entering toward the guiding portion 55R1 of No. 3 is larger than that of the conventional reinforcing bar binding machine.

Therefore, in the guidance guide 51A, when the tip WS of the wire W entering toward the third guide portion 55R1 of the side surface portion 55R comes into contact with the third guide portion 55R1, the tip WS of the wire W moves toward the third guide portion 55R1. The resistance increases when guided along the guide portion 55R1. Therefore, there is a possibility that the wire W will not go between the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the first guide portion 55L1 and the narrowest portion 55ER2 of the third guide portion 55R1, causing a feeding failure.

Therefore, the entrance angle restricting portion 56A is provided so that the tip of the wire W entering toward the third guide portion 55R1 of the side surface portion 55R is moved between the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the first guide portion 55L1 and the third guide portion. It is directed between the narrowest portion 55ER2 of 55R1.

That is, the wire W entering between the side portion 55L and the side portion 55R of the first guide portion 55 enters the side portion 55R toward the third guiding portion 55R1, thereby 12B, the wire W located between 55R and 55R is in contact with the approach angle restricting portion 56A. When the wire W comes into contact with the approach angle restricting portion 56A, the tip WS of the wire W moves between the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the first guide portion 55L1 and the narrowest portion of the third guide portion 55R1 with the approach angle restricting portion 56A as a fulcrum. A force that tends to rotate the wire W is applied to the wire W in the direction between the portions 55ER2.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 12C, the approach angle α2 of the wire W entering toward the third guide portion 55R1 of the side surface portion 55R becomes smaller (α2<α1), and the tip WS of the wire W It goes between the narrowest portion 55EL2 of the guiding portion 55L1 and the narrowest portion 55ER2 of the third guiding portion 55R1. Therefore, the wire W curled by the curl guide 50 can be introduced between the pair of the second guiding portion 55L2 and the fourth guiding portion 55R2 of the first guide portion 55. FIG.

FIGS. 13A, 13B, and 13C are explanatory diagrams showing the locked state of the wires W in the locking member. Next, when the two wires W are locked in the locking member 70, the two wires W will be described.

In the conventional reinforcing bar binding machine, the wire W is guided to the locking member 70 of the binding portion 7A without contacting the guide surface 57a of the second guide portion 57. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the reinforcing bar binding machine 1A, in the guidance guide 51A, the wire W guided to the second guide portion 57 by the first guide portion 55L1 and the third guide portion 55R1 of the first guide portion 55 is As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, it is guided to the locking member 70 of the binding portion 7A by coming into contact with the guide surface 57a.

When the two wires W come into contact with the guide surface 57a, the alignment direction of the two wires W is restricted by the guide surface 57a, and the gap between the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R is reduced. wire W is guided to.

Since the guide surface 57a is a flat surface, when the two wires W are fed in contact with the guide surface 57a, the two wires W are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the loop Ru formed by the wires W. .

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13C, two wires W are arranged in parallel along the direction in which the second movable locking member 70R opens and closes with respect to the fixed locking member 70C. Two wires W are locked in a state in which a space corresponding to two wires is formed between the two wires W and the movable locking member 70R. As a result, the load applied to the locking member 70 increases.

Therefore, the direction in which the two wires W are arranged in parallel is guided by the feed restricting portion 9A. 14A and 14B are explanatory diagrams showing the movement of the wire in the feed restricting portion. Next, the effect of guiding the wire W by the feed restricting portion 9A will be described.

The feed regulating portion 9A extends in a direction intersecting the parallel direction of the two wires W regulated by the first wire guide 4A ₁ and the second wire guide 4A ₂ on the surface with which the wire W contacts. A parallel regulation section 90 is provided.

Since the parallel restricting portion 90 is concave with respect to the feed direction of the wire W that is fed in the forward direction, when the tip WS of the wire W is pressed against the feed restricting portion 9A, the apex of the recess constituting the parallel restricting portion 90 is pushed. The tip WS of the wire W is guided toward.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 14A, the ends WS of the two wires W passing between the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R reach a position where they are in contact with and pressed against the feed restricting portion 9A. , when the two wires W are sent in the forward direction, the tips WS of the two wires W are guided along the direction in which the parallel restricting portion 90 extends, as shown in FIG. 14B. Therefore, the direction in which the two wires W are arranged in parallel between the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R is guided in the radial direction of the loop Ru shown in FIG.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13A, the two wires W can be guided in parallel with respect to the fixed locking member 70C in a direction crossing the direction in which the second movable locking member 70R opens and closes. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13B, the two wires W are held in a state in which a space is formed between the fixed locking member 70C and the second movable locking member 70R so that one wire can be locked. The two wires W can be securely locked by reducing the load applied to the locking member 70. As shown in FIG.

15A is a plan view showing the guidance guide of the second embodiment, FIG. 15B is a perspective view showing the guidance guide of the second embodiment, and FIG. 15C is the guidance guide of the second embodiment. It is a front view showing.
