Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a film-shaped tape which is a cushioning material that is used for packaging various devices in a box so that it can be easily transported from a manufacturing site to a usage site. The present invention relates to a binding machine for binding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since the cushioning material for box packaging of various devices has various deformed shapes corresponding to the shape of the object to be packaged, it corresponds to the deformed shape of the binding tape. Continuous mechanical bundling is difficult, and since the material of the cushion material is foamed resin, if the binding is strong, the cushion material itself will be damaged. For this reason, all conventional binding of cushioning materials for box packaging has been performed manually. For this reason, the work efficiency is remarkably poor, and especially the tying work of the tying tape is complicated and not accurate.

Therefore, the present invention is to provide a binding machine capable of mechanical binding corresponding to a deformed cushion material.

[0004]

The binding machine according to the present invention comprises:
A base with a table with a long hole in the center and a reference plate that serves as a position reference for the objects to be bound on the table, and an upper part that runs on the side of the base and projects above and below the center long hole of the table. An upper operating arm is provided with a bundling tape roll having a fixed arm, an upper operating arm for vertically moving and an operating column having a lower arm, wherein the upper fixed arm is provided with a proper rotation resistance mechanism. The tape restraining part that has a cushioning function from the side of the object to be bound, the heating part that operates with the up-and-down operating mechanism, and the cutting part that works together with the heating part are provided, and the lower arm supports the tape restraining part and heating part. The receiving section, the cutting blade corresponding to the cutting section, and the tape holding section that holds the tape end section are provided together with the vertical movement mechanism.

[0005]

[Function] The bundle of objects to be bound is placed on the table along with the reference plate, and the binding tape is stretched from the binding tape roll to the tape holding portion of the lower arm through the upper operating arm to operate. When the column is running, the binding tape is hung around the object to be bound, and when the upper working arm and the lower arm approach, the tape is clamped between the tape holding section and the receiving section, and the heating section is held in the tape clamped state. While sandwiching and welding the upper and lower tapes with the receiving part,
The tape is cut, and the binding is completed when the upper working arm and the lower arm are separated.

Therefore, the deformed object to be bound can be dealt with by appropriately setting the relationship between the reference plate and the traveling of the operating column, and the tension of the binding tape can be adjusted by the rotation resistance mechanism of the binding tape roll. Further, the tying of the tape end portion is performed by heat welding in a state where the tape is held between the tape holding portion and the tape receiving portion, so that a reliable binding can be obtained.
