The utility model discloses a chain tensioning device for a tape winder, and relates to the field of chain tensioning. The chain tensioning device for the tape winder comprises a first installation part and a second installation part, a movable tensioning wheel is arranged on the outer wall of the first installation part, a fixed tensioning wheel is arranged on the second installation part, a
hydraulic cylinder is installed between the first installation part and the second installation part, and a
pressure sensor is arranged below the movable tensioning wheel. According to the chain tensioning device for the tape winder, a
hydraulic cylinder is started, a first mounting part is pushed to rotate, the distance between a movable tensioning wheel and a fixed tensioning wheel is increased, a chain is tensioned, at the moment, the movable tensioning wheel has the trend of moving downwards along a supporting shaft, pressure is transmitted to a
pressure sensor through a spring, and the
pressure sensor monitors the pressure value in real time; and when the pressure reaches a threshold value preset by a program, the
hydraulic cylinder is controlled to stop stretching according to a feedback
signal, so that the chain is kept in a reasonable tensioning state, the structure is simple, and control is accurate and effective.
