The present disclosure discloses a tape cutting device in a carton sealer, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the device includes a cutter holder 51, a fixed blade 52 and a movable blade 53. The cutter holder 51 is fixed on a mounting frame of the carton sealer and is provided with a penetrative tape through hole 511, and a tape 21 to be cut off passes through the tape through hole 511. The fixed blade 52 is fixed in the cutter holder SI and is located on one side of the tape through hole 511, and the movable blade 53 is located on the other side of the tape through hole 511 and slides relative to the fixed blade 52. Further refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a side, corresponding to the fixed blade 52, of the movable blade 53 is provided with a first edge part 521, a side, corresponding to the movable blade 53, of the fixed blade 52 is provided with a second edge part 531, and by sliding the movable blade 53 to the position of the fixed blade 52, the first edge part 521 is connected with the second edge part 531. In this way, the tape 21 passing through the tape through bole 511 is cut off.
As shown in FIG. 5, pressing plates 513 are fixed on two sides of the tape through hole 511 in the cutter holder 51, and avoidance gaps (unshown in the figure) are formed in surfaces, facing an inner surface of the cutter holder 51, of the pressing plates 513. When the fixed blade 52 is mounted, two sides of the fixed blade 52 are respectively nested in the two avoidance gaps, and then, the two pressing plates 513 are fixed together with the cutter holder 51 in a way of mounting screws, so that the fixed blade 52 is kept to be pressed to the cutter holder 51 by the pressing plates 513 so as to be fixed.
The movable blade 53 is located on the other side of the tape through hole 511 and is limited to slide relative to the fixed blade 52 between the two pressing plates 513. A specific structure for limiting the movable blade 53 to slide may be shown as FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, two sides of the movable blade 53 both extend to the fixed blade 52 to form extension parts 532, and the two extension parts 532 are both attached to a surface of the fixed blade 52. Elastic sheets 55 are fixed on two sides of the cutter holder 51, and specifically, one end of each of the elastic sheets 55 may be fixed on each of the pressing plates 513 in a way of mounting screws. In addition, the other ends of the elastic sheets 55 are bent to the fixed blade 52 to form elastic parts 551, and the two extension parts 532 are respectively pressed to the fixed blade 52 by the two elastic parts 551. By means of the structures of the elastic sheets 55, the movable blade 53 may be limited to be always attached to the surface of the fixed blade 52 in a process of sliding relative to the fixed blade 52, so that the second edge part 531 of the movable blade 53 can be tightly connected with the first edge part 521 of the fixed blade 52, and then, the tape 21 can be smoothly cut off. Further refer to FIG. 8, the movable blade 53 is fixed on a sliding seat 54, limiting columns 541 are fixed on two sides of the sliding seat 54, penetrative limiting boles 512 are formed in two sides of the cutter holder 51, and the two limiting columns 541 adaptively penetrate into the two limiting holes 512, respectively. By means of such a structure, the movable blade 53 is limited to be away from one end of each of the extension parts 532, so that the movable blade 53 can only slide straightly relative to the fixed blade 52. Further, the movable blade 53 is fixed together with the sliding seat 54 in a way of mounting screws, so that it is convenient to mount or replace the movable blade 53.
As shown in FIG. 8, a side, corresponding to the fixed blade 52, of the movable blade 53 is sunken to form a cutting edge, the cutting edge forms an isosceles triangle structure, each of two equal sides in the isosceles triangle structure forms the second edge part 531, and the two second edge parts 531 are used for cutting off the tape. When the movable blade 53 slides to the fixed blade 52 to cut off the tape 21, a process that the two second edge parts 531 on the two sides of the movable blade 53 perform cutoff to the middle can be formed. In this way, a resistance caused when the tape 21 is cut by using the movable blade 53 can be reduced, and at the same time, a torque required to drive the movable blade 53 to slide can be reduced, so that the way is beneficial to energy conservation.
Further refer to FIG. 1, the tape cutting device further includes a cutting motor 561 driving the movable blade 53 to slide, an eccentric wheel 562 and a swing rod 564. The cutting motor 561 is fixed on a mounting frame of the carton sealer, the eccentric wheel 562 is fixed on an output shaft of the cutting motor 561, and an eccentric pin 563 is fixed on a position, deviated from the center of a circle, on the surface of the eccentric wheel 562. A position close to the middle of the swing rod 564 is limited to rotate relative to the cutter holder 51, which may be specifically that a pin shaft 5641 is fixed on the cutter holder 51 after passing through the swing rod 564, so that the swing rod 564 rotates relative to the cutter holder 51 with the pin shaft 5641 as an axis. One end of the swing rod 564 is limited to rotate relative to the movable blade 53, and a connection way thereof may be that two ends of the swing rod 564 are both provided with waist-shaped holes 5642, and the waist-shaped hole 5642 in one end thereof sleeves the outside of the pin shaft 5641 fixed on the movable blade 53, so that one end of the swing rod 564 rotates relative to the movable blade 53. The waist-shaped hole 5642 in the other end of the swing rod 564 sleeves the outside of the eccentric pin 563, so that the other end of the swing rod 564 is limited to move relative to the eccentric pin 563. During work, the cutting motor 561 drives the eccentric wheel 562 to rotate so as to drive the eccentric pin 563 to rotate, and the eccentric pin 563 rotates to push parts of the waist-shaped holes 5642 in the swing rod 564 to swing up and down, so that the swing rod 564 swings to drive the movable blade 53 to slide to the fixed blade 52 or a direction away from the fixed blade 52.
As shown in FIG. 9, when the cutting motor 561 drives the eccentric wheel 562 to rotate until the eccentric pin 563 is located below, an end of the swing rod 564 is pushed to be downward by the eccentric pin 563, and the end, connected with the movable blade 53, of the swing rod 564 swings to be upward, so that the movable blade 53 slides to the fixed blade 52 to cut off the tape 21. Further refer to FIG. 10, when the cutting motor 561 drives the eccentric wheel 562 to rotate until the eccentric pin 563 is located above, an end of the swing rod 564 is pushed to be upward by the eccentric pin 563, and the end, connected with the movable blade 53, of the swing rod 564 swings to be downward, so that the movable blade 53 is downward, that is, it leaves from the fixed blade 52 to ensure that a gap between the fixed blade 52 and the movable blade 53 is maximum when the movable blade 53 stops moving to allow the tape 21 to smoothly pass through.
In addition, the tape cutting device further includes a distance sensor 565 and a control module (unshown in the figure), the distance sensor 565 is fixed outside a side of the eccentric wheel 562, such as a position above the eccentric wheel 562 shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, specifically, a connecting rod can be fixed on the mounting frame of the carton sealer to fix the distance sensor 565. The distance sensor 565 may be a proximity switch, the control module may be a PLC in the carton sealer, the control module receives a signal from the distance sensor 565 to control the cutting motor 561 to pause, and the starting of the cutting motor 561 can be controlled by outputting a signal to the control module by an operation panel or a button of the carton sealer. The position of the eccentric pin 563 is sensed by the distance sensor 565, when the eccentric pin 563 rotates upwards to be located above the eccentric wheel 562, the distance sensor 565 is triggered to send the signal to the control module, and the control module controls the cutting motor 561 to drive the eccentric wheel 562 to rotate until the swing rod 564 drives the movable blade 53 to be away from the fixed blade 52, thereby completing the reset of the cutting device and waiting for the next cutoff instruction.
In conclusion, according to the present disclosure, the cutting edge of the movable blade 53 is designed to be of the isosceles triangle structure. When the movable blade 53 slides to the fixed blade 52 to cut off the tape 21, a process that the two second edge parts 531 in the isosceles triangle structure perform cutoff from two sides to the middle of the tape 21 can be formed. In this way, a resistance caused when the tape 21 is cut by using the movable blade 53 can be reduced, it is convenient to cut off the tape 21 with higher toughness, and a torque required to drive the movable blade 53 to slide can be reduced, so that the way is also beneficial to the conservation of electric energy required by the cutting motor 561. In addition, by sensing the position of the eccentric pin 563 through the distance sensor 565 in a process that the tape 21 is cut off, the position of the movable blade 53 relative to the fixed blade 52 can be further controlled, and the movable blade 53 can automatically reset to be away from the fixed blade 52 after sliding to the fixed blade 52 to cut off the tape 21, so that the tape 21 can smoothly pass through a space between the movable blade 53 and the fixed blade 52 and pass through the tape through hole 511, which is convenient for re-packaging and cutoff.
The above descriptions are only specific implementations of the present disclosure, however, the design concept of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any non-substantive changes on the present disclosure based on this concept should fall within behaviors that violate the protection scope of the present disclosure.
