Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a device for winding string-like objects such as hoses, sash gaskets, etc., and binding them with a band.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, winding devices have been developed to automatically wind up string-like objects such as hoses that are continuously produced in the manufacturing process, but there is no way to tie up the wound string-like objects. They were then manually transported to the binding machine, where the binding was performed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, in the prior art, winding and tying string-like objects required a winding device, a separate tying machine, and a conveyance device therebetween, resulting in a large-scale device. Moreover, the shape of the wound string-like material is distorted before it is tied, so that it cannot be tied in a suitable shape, and furthermore, there is a problem that the work efficiency is poor.

It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned problems and, therefore, to provide a device for properly and efficiently winding and tying cords using a single device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, a string-like material winding and binding device according to the present invention includes a stock conveyor 1 capable of temporarily pooling string-like objects to be handled, and a stock conveyor 1 capable of temporarily pooling string-like objects to be handled. A guide device 2 that guides and adjustably sends out a string-like object on a conveyor, a device 3 that winds up the string-like object sent out from the guide device, and a plurality of string-like objects wound on a reel of the winding device. The binding machine includes a binding machine 4 for binding parts with a band, and the binding machine is provided with a vertical part 38 on the front surface against which the wound string material comes into contact, and on both sides of the vertical part 38, which is aligned with the band passage formed in the core of the reel. a device 47 for rotating and transferring the tied string-like material to a predetermined position;
Including 50.

(Function) During operation, when the tip of the string-like material that passes from the stock conveyor 1 through the guide device 2 and protrudes from the tip of the feed finger 16 is inserted into the groove of the reel and fixed, the winding device is activated. The reel rotates and winding is performed. The guide device is equipped with a stepless traverse, by means of which the feed finger is moved in the axial direction of the reel in accordance with the winding speed to wind the material onto the reel to a suitable thickness. Then, when it is rolled to the set thickness, the string-like object is cut. Next, the tying machine moves forward and stops at a position where the vertical part of the front side of the tying machine is close to the wound string material, and the pivoting arms on both sides pivot so that their tips touch the path of the core of the reel. The arms, core, and arms are aligned abutting to define an arched band path. Then, the band is passed through the band passage and tied. Next, after returning the arms on both sides, set the reel at an appropriate angle, for example, when tying at 4 points.
Rotate 90 degrees, pivot the arms on both sides again and tie in the same way, and then tie other parts in the same way to complete the binding of one turn of string. When the binding is completed, the string-like object is removed, falls onto the carry-out conveyor 5 below, and is taken out.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This device winds a cord-like object A such as a hose in an orderly manner, as shown in FIG. A stock conveyor 1 that temporarily pools the string-like material immediately after it has been produced from the manufacturing machine or the transported string-like material and gradually sends it, and a stock conveyor 1 that is interposed between the conveyor 1 and the winding device. a guiding device 2, a winding device 3, a binding machine 4 that binds the string-like material wound on the reel of the winding device 3 with a band, and rotates the tied string-like material to a predetermined position. It consists of equipment to be transferred to and from.

As shown in FIG. 10, there are arms 40 and 41 on both sides of the vertical portion 38, and each arm is pivoted to a fulcrum 40a and 40b, respectively. The arm 40 is pivoted by a cylinder 42 and the arm 41 is pivoted by a cylinder 43. When the ends of each arm are closed, they align with the passages 44 provided in the core 21a of the reel 21, as seen in FIG. 10, forming an arched band passage as shown. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the inner side walls 40b and 41b of each arm are raised or lowered by a solenoid 45 or the like to open that side. Further, the passage of the core 21a has a U-shaped cross section, and is open on the same side as the side wall 40b.

While the string-like material is wound on the reel 21, the 13th
As shown in the figure, the binding machine 4 is in the retracted position,
When a predetermined amount of the string-like material is wound on the reel 21, the cylinder 36 is actuated to move forward as shown by the imaginary line, and the front vertical portion 38 comes into contact with the string-like material wound on the reel 21. Then, the arms 40 and 41 on both sides pivot to move the core 21 of the reel as shown in FIG.
The band B is aligned with the passage 44 in a, and is passed through the arched passage consisting of the arm 40, the core passage 44, and the arm 41 to form a loop shape, and then the side walls 40b and 41b of each arm are raised. Then, the cylinder 37 moves the vertical part 38 slightly forward to press the part of the string-like material wound with the band, giving the loop-like band an appropriate amount of slack and tying it.
After tying, each arm 40, 41 is opened, the tying machine 4 is retreated to its original position, the side wall of the arm is lowered, and the reel 21 is rotated through an appropriate angle (for example, 90 degrees) to find the next tying position. Head toward the binding machine 4 and start binding with the next band in the same way as before.
