Structure for preventing formation of dead point for cam wheel and strapping device using the same
A structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel includes a driving wheel with a pressing portion provided at one side thereof for pushing a pushed portion of the cam wheel. When the cam wheel is moved over a distance while rotating simultaneously, a cam portion of the cam wheel pushes one end of the swinging piece. When the one end of the swinging piece is pushed to be apart from the outer periphery of the cam wheel, a restoring piece axially pushes the cam wheel back to its original position. A strapping device includes the above structure, a housing, a first transmission assembly, a second transmission assembly and a third transmission assembly. Tensioning of a circular strap, rapid friction bonding and cutting are sequentially performed by the transmissions of the first to third assemblies, respectively.
1. A structure of a strapping device for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel, comprising:
a driving wheel, provided with a pressing portion arranged to be coaxial with the driving wheel at one side thereof;
a cam wheel, pivoted on the driving wheel in a way of being axially movable with respect to the driving wheel, the cam wheel including a cam portion and a pushed portion around the same axis, the pushed portion in contact with the pressing portion, the pushed portion being pushed by the pressing portion when the driving wheel rotates, such that the cam wheel is moved axially in a direction away from one side of the driving wheel;
a swinging piece, with one end abutting against the outer periphery of the cam wheel by force from a mechanism, such that the one end of the swinging piece is pushed by the cam portion when the cam wheel axially moves and rotates; and
a restoring piece, connected with the cam wheel for axially pushing the cam wheel back to its original position when the one end of the swinging piece is moved to be apart from the outer periphery of the cam wheel.
2. The structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel of claim 1 , wherein the pressing portion includes a plurality of thorn teeth arranged in a form of circular array on the one side of the driving wheel with their teeth surfaces facing the cam wheel, and the pushed portion is a plurality of thorn teeth with their teeth surfaces facing and engaging the pressing portion.
3. The structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel of claim 1 , wherein the pressing portion is a rod, and the pushed portion is a guiding slot formed on the cam wheel and arranged radially for the rod to be inserted and limited therein.
4. The structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel of claim 1 , wherein the cam wheel includes:
a circumferential surface, having an equal radius;
an ascending portion, having a thickness less than that of the circumferential surface for pushing the one end of the swinging piece; and
a ramp portion, having gradually increasing radii for guiding the one end of the swinging piece from the circumferential surface onto the ascending portion of the cam wheel.
5. The structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel of claim 1 , wherein the restoring piece is a compression spring, and one end of the cam portion is provided with a positioning portion for positioning the compression spring.
6. The structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel of claim 1 , further comprising a stopping piece pivoted on the driving wheel and the cam wheel for stopping the cam wheel so as to limit the axial movements of the cam wheel.
7. A strapping device comprising:
the structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel of claim 1 ;
a housing;
a first transmission assembly, received in the housing, the first transmission assembly connected to a feeder wheel, the first transmission assembly driven by an electric drive to rotate the feeder wheel to tension a circular strap;
a second transmission assembly, connected with the driving wheel, the second transmission assembly driven by the electric drive to rotate the driving wheel to push the one end of the swinging piece; and
a third transmission assembly, including a pressing piece, a crankshaft-connection-rod set and an actuator, the pressing piece sheathed inside an elastic piece, a sealing head and a cutter being provided at the bottom of the pressing piece and connected with the crankshaft-connection-rod set, such that the crankshaft-connection-rod set is driven by the electric drive to reciprocate the sealing head laterally to perform rapid friction bonding of the overlapping portion of the circular strap, and the excess portion of the circular strap is cut off by the cutter, the swinging piece being a rocker arm, two ends of which swing in opposite directions, and the actuator being connected to the one end of the rocker arm and provided with a positioning portion for positioning one end of the pressing piece.
8. A strapping device comprising:
the structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel of claim 4 ;
a housing;
a first transmission assembly, received in the housing, the first transmission assembly connected to a feeder wheel, the first transmission assembly driven by an electric drive to rotate the feeder wheel to tension a circular strap;
a second transmission assembly, connected with the driving wheel, the second transmission assembly driven by the electric drive to rotate the driving wheel to push the one end of the swinging piece; and
a third transmission assembly, including a pressing piece, a crankshaft-connection-rod set and an actuator, the pressing piece sheathed inside an elastic piece, a sealing head and a cutter being provided at the bottom of the pressing piece and connected with the crankshaft-connection-rod set, such that the crankshaft-connection-rod set is driven by the electric drive to reciprocate the sealing head laterally to perform rapid friction bonding of the overlapping portion of the circular strap, and the excess portion of the circular strap is cut off by the cutter, the swinging piece being a rocker arm, two ends of which swing in opposite directions, and the actuator being connected to the one end of the rocker arm and provided with a positioning portion for positioning one end of the pressing piece.
