Strapping machine and packaging method for the strapping machine

A strapping machine, comprising:

• a frame,
• a strap storage mechanism, which is used to store the straps and supply the straps to the looping mechanism when needed;
• a looping mechanism, which is used to move the straps along a circular track and form a loop connected end to end;
• a tightening mechanism, which is used to tighten the straps in reverse and tightly bind the loop formed by the straps on the product to be tied;
• a welding mechanism, which is used to weld the head and tail ends of the loop into one piece;
• and
• a strap cutting mechanism, which is used to cut off the straps that are still connected outside the loop;
• wherein the strap storage mechanism comprises:
• a reel assembly, which is used to install a reel;
• a locking device is provided on the reel assembly;
• the locking device controls the reel to be in a locked state or a rotatable state;
• when the reel is in the locked state, the reel cannot rotate;
• and when the reel is in the rotatable state, the reel supplies the straps;
• a plurality of fixed rollers, which are installed on one side of the strap storage mechanism;
• and the fixed rollers are used for winding the straps;
• and
• a plurality of movable rollers, which are installed on the other side of the strap storage mechanism;
• the movable rollers are used for winding the straps;
• and the fixed rollers and the movable rollers coordinate to form a strap storage area;
• the retracting mechanism comprises:
• a movable assembly, which can be movable mounted on the frame;
• the movable rollers are mounted on the movable assembly;
• the movable assembly can move between a first position and a second position;
• when the movable assembly moves to the first position, the movable rollers move away from the fixed rollers for strap storage;
• and when the movable assembly moves to the second position, the movable rollers approach the fixed rollers for strap conveying;
• a detection roller, which is used for winding the strap;
• and the detection roller is installed on the detection bracket;
• a detection bracket, which is rotatably or movably mounted on the frame;
• and the detection bracket is provided with a damping component that provides a certain resistance to the detection bracket;
• and
• a trigger device, which is used to obtain the movement of the detection bracket;
• and when the detection bracket moves, the trigger device indirectly or directly controls the locking device, and the locking device makes the reel rotate.
