Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of linear motor manufacturing equipment, and in particular to a tape applying mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the development of various high-precision machining platforms, the demand for linear drive modules is increasing. Linear motors, in particular, offer high precision and a compact footprint, making them suitable for use in a wide range of precision equipment. Consequently, demand for linear motors continues to grow year by year.

[0003] In the related art, when assembling a linear motor, after laying the magnets in the mounting seat, glue needs to be poured into the mounting seat to further fix the magnets. The glue filled between the magnets can limit the installation position of the magnets to prevent the magnets from being displaced later. Since the glue pouring depth is generally slightly lower than the height of the magnets, and the end plates at both ends of the mounting seat have not yet been assembled, the glue is likely to overflow from both ends of the mounting seat. A common treatment method is to manually apply tape to both ends of the mounting seat before pouring the glue, and use the tape to cover the openings at both ends of the mounting seat to prevent the glue from overflowing from the mounting seat.

[0004] However, the assembly of linear motors is gradually developing towards automation, and the assembly, glue filling and other operations of linear motors are all carried out sequentially on the assembly line. If manual glue is still required on the mounting base before glue filling, the assembly line workstations need to reserve manual operation stations, which affects the automation process of linear motor assembly and wastes manpower. At the same time, the assembly efficiency of linear motors is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a tape applying mechanism to solve the technical problem in the related art that manual glue applying is required before the glue filling process of assembling the linear motor, which wastes manpower and affects the assembly efficiency of the linear motor.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The embodiment of this application provides a tape sticking mechanism, which drives the tape to unwind through a tape pulling module, cuts the unwound tape by using a tape cutting module, adsorbs the cut tape by using a tape sticking module, and drives the tape to adhere. This application solves the technical problem that before the potting process of assembling a linear motor in the related art, manual tape sticking is required, which wastes manpower and affects the assembly efficiency of the linear motor.

[0038] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , a tape sticking mechanism includes a carrier plate 7 and a feeding module 1, a tape pulling module 2, a tape sticking module 3, a tape clamping module 5, and a tape cutting module 4 provided on the carrier plate 7. Each module is independently installed on the carrier plate 7 to facilitate the assembly of each module. In addition, multiple modules cooperate with each other to achieve automatic tape sticking.

[0039] Refer to Figure 1 , wherein, the feeding module 1 is used for supplying the tape. The feeding module 1 includes a reel, the reel is rotatably installed on the carrier plate 7, and the tape is wound around the reel, or the tape roll can also be sleeved on the reel.

[0040] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the tape pulling module 2 includes a tape pulling seat 204, a clamping member 201, and a tape pulling linear module 202. The clamping member 201 is slidably arranged on the tape pulling seat 204 through a guide rail group, and the clamping member 201 is used for clamping the tape. The fixed end of the tape pulling linear module 202 is fixed on the tape pulling seat 204 by bolts, and the driving end of the tape pulling linear module 202 is connected to the clamping member 201. Therefore, the tape pulling linear module 202 drives the clamping member 201 to slide to pull the tape to unwind.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4, specifically, the clamping member 201 includes a jaw cylinder 2011 and two jaws 2012. The jaw cylinder 2011 is slidably disposed on the glue pulling base 204, and the two jaws 2012 are respectively fixed to the two driving ends of the jaw cylinder 2011 by bolts. The two jaws 2012 are driven by the jaw cylinder 2011 to open or close. Among them, the clamping surface of the jaw 2012 is provided with an anti-slip structure, and the anti-slip structure may include anti-slip grooves to reduce the possibility of the tape slipping between the two jaws 2012. The glue pulling linear module 202 includes a cylinder. In other embodiments, the glue pulling linear module 202 may also include a lead screw mechanism or a linear motor.

[0042] In some embodiments, the clamping member 201 may also include a bidirectional lead screw mechanism and two jaws 2012, or the clamping member 201 may also include two cylinders and two jaws 2012, and the two jaws 2012 are driven to open and close by the bidirectional lead screw mechanism or the cylinder.

[0043] The glue pulling linear module 202 drives the clamping member 201 to move to the end of the tape, and the clamping member 201 clamps the end of the tape. Then the glue pulling linear module 202 drives the clamping member 201 to move away from the feeding module 1 to drive the tape to unwind. As the tape unwinds, the tape sequentially passes through the glue clamping module 5, the glue cutting module 4, and the glue pasting module 3. The unwound tape is clamped by the glue clamping module 5, adsorbed by the glue pasting module 3, and cut by the glue cutting module 4. The cut tape is pasted to the required position as the glue pasting module 3 moves.

[0044] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , among which, the glue clamping module 5 includes a movable clamping block 501, a fixed clamping block 502, and a glue clamping linear module 503. The tape passes through between the movable clamping block 501 and the fixed clamping block 502. The fixed clamping block 502 is connected to the carrier plate 7. The movable clamping block 501 is slidably disposed on the carrier plate 7 through a guide rail group. The fixed end of the glue clamping linear module 503 is fixed to the carrier plate 7 by bolts, and the driving end of the glue clamping linear module 503 is connected to the movable clamping block 501 to drive the movable clamping block 501 to move closer to or away from the fixed clamping block 502. Among them, the glue clamping linear module 503 includes a cylinder. In other embodiments, the glue clamping linear module 503 may also include a lead screw mechanism or a linear motor.

[0045] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, specifically, the moving direction of the movable clamping block 501 is perpendicular to that of the clamping member 201. After the tape is unrolled from the feeding module 1, it is clamped by the tape clamping module 5, and the clamping member 201 moves to the tape clamping module 5 to clamp the tape. When the tape pulling module 2 drives the tape to be unrolled, the tape clamping module 5 does not clamp the tape. When the tape cutting module 4 cuts the tape, the tape clamping module 5 clamps the tape, and the clamping member 201 also clamps the tape. The tape between the tape clamping module 5 and the clamping member 201 is in a taut state. When the tape cutting module 4 cuts the tape between the tape clamping module 5 and the clamping member 201, the tape is more easily cut. Additionally, since the tape clamping module 5 and the tape cutting module 4 are arranged in sequence along the tape unrolling direction, after the tape is cut, the end of the tape is located at the tape clamping module 5 and is in a clamped state. At this time, when the clamping member 201 moves to the tape clamping module 5, it can clamp the end of the tape, facilitating the pulling of the tape for unrolling.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , further, a nylon block is fixed on the clamping surface of the movable clamping block 501 to contact the tape through the nylon block. The fixed clamping block 502 is arranged in a roller shape and is rotatably arranged on the bearing plate 7. When the tape bypasses the fixed clamping block 502, the fixed clamping block 502 guides the tape and also reduces the possibility of the tape being scratched when it is unrolled through the fixed clamping block 502.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , further, the tape pulling module 2 further includes a buffer assembly 203. The buffer assembly 203 includes a buffer member 2031 and a buffer block 2032. The buffer member 2031 is fixed on the clamping member 201 by bolts, moves together with the clamping member 201, and the buffer direction of the buffer member 2031 is the same as the moving direction of the clamping member 201. The buffer block 2032 is fixed on the tape pulling seat 204 by bolts. The buffer block 2032 is located between the buffer member 2031 and the tape clamping module 5, and the buffer block 2032 is on the moving path of the buffer member 2031. It can be understood that when the clamping member 201 moves towards the tape clamping module 5 to clamp the tape, the buffer member 2031 collides with the buffer block 2032, and under the buffering effect of the buffer block 2032, the clamping member 201 is not likely to collide with the tape clamping module 5. Especially when the linear tape pulling module 202 selects a cylinder, it is difficult to control the moving speed of the clamping member 201, and it is easy to hit the tape clamping module 5, causing damage to both sides. At this time, the buffer member 2031 can slow down the moving speed of the clamping member 201 and prevent the clamping member 201 from hitting the tape clamping module 5. In this embodiment, the buffer member 2031 includes a hydraulic buffer. In other embodiments, the buffer member 2031 may also include a spring.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1 - 3, wherein, the glue cutting module 4 includes a cutting member 401 and a linear cutting module 402. The fixed end of the linear cutting module 402 is fixed to the carrier plate 7 by bolts, and the driving end of the linear cutting module 402 is connected to the cutting member 401 to drive the cutting member 401 to move. The movement trajectory of the cutting member 401 and the movement trajectory of the clamping member 201 have an intersection point. Therefore, after the clamping member 201 pulls the tape to unwind, the unwound tape is located on the movement trajectory of the cutting member 401 and can be cut by the cutting member 401. Preferably, the movement direction of the cutting member 401 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the clamping member 201, so that the cutting member 401 can cut the tape vertically, and the cutting effect is better. Among them, the linear cutting module 402 includes a cylinder, the cutting member 401 includes a cutter, and the cutter is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder through a cutting frame. The cutting frame is slidably arranged on the carrier plate 7 through a guide rail group.

[0049] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , further, the cutting position of the cutting member 401 on the tape is adjacent to the glue clamping module 5, and there is a distance of 1-3 cm between the cutting position of the cutting member 401 on the tape and the glue clamping module 5. Preferably, there is a distance of 2 cm between the cutting position of the cutting member 401 on the tape and the glue clamping module 5. After the cutting member 401 cuts the tape, 2 cm of the tape is left to facilitate the clamping member 201 to clamp the end of the tape.

[0050] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , specifically, the linear cutting module 402 and the glue clamping module 5 are respectively located on opposite sides of the carrier plate 7, and a cutting groove 701 is formed on the carrier plate 7. The length direction of the cutting groove 701 is consistent with the movement direction of the cutting member 401, and the cutting member 401 extends from the cutting groove 701 to the other side of the carrier plate 7 to cut the tape.

[0051] With such a setting, the linear cutting module 402 of the glue cutting module 4 is arranged on the other side of the carrier plate 7 to reasonably utilize the space of the carrier plate 7, and the linear cutting module 402 is not likely to interfere with the glue clamping module 5 in terms of position.

[0052] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5, wherein the gluing module 3 includes an adsorption component 301 and a gluing linear module 302. The adsorption component 301 is slidably set on the supporting plate 7 through a guide rail group, and the gluing linear module 302 is used to drive the adsorption component 301 to slide. The movement trajectory of the adsorption component 301 and the movement trajectory of the clamping component 201 have an intersection. It can be understood that after the tape is pulled and unwound by the clamping component 201, the unwound tape is located on the movement trajectory of the adsorption component 301 and can be adsorbed by the adsorption component 301, and the adsorption component 301 is in contact with the adhesive backing surface of the tape. Preferably, the movement direction of the adsorption component 301 is set perpendicular to the movement direction of the clamping component 201, and the adsorption component 301 can vertically adsorb the tape, so that the tape is adsorbed more firmly and is less likely to wrinkle.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , wherein, after the adhesive pulling module 2 drives the tape to unwind, the adsorption component 301 is located between the cutting component 401 and the clamping component 201, and before the tape is cut, the adsorption component 301 moves to adsorb the tape. After the tape is cut, the clamping component 201 releases the tape, and the cut tape is adsorbed on the adsorption component 301, and as the adsorption component 301 moves further, it is attached to the desired position.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 The suction component 301 includes a suction block and a negative pressure device. The suction block is connected to the drive end of the adhesive linear module 302. The suction surface of the suction block is provided with a suction structure 301a. In this embodiment, the suction structure 301a includes multiple suction holes. The negative pressure device is connected to the suction structure 301a to apply negative pressure to the tape.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 The rubberized linear module 302 includes at least two linear drive components, all of which have the same driving direction and are connected in sequence. Specifically, the fixed end of the linear drive component at the rear end is fixed to the carrier plate 7, while the fixed ends of the remaining linear drive components are slidably mounted on the carrier plate 7 via a guide rail assembly. The driving end of the linear drive component at the front end is connected to the adsorption component 301. This allows the adsorption component 301 to move in multiple stages through the multiple linear drive components, thereby increasing the range of motion of the adsorption component 301. In this embodiment, the rubberized linear module 302 includes two linear drive components.

[0056] With this arrangement, since the movement stroke of the adsorption part 301 becomes larger, the adsorption part 301 is not easy to interfere with the movement of the clamping part 201, and the adsorption part 301 can be extended to a farther position to apply glue at a farther position, which facilitates the arrangement of the tape applying mechanism in actual use.

[0058] An embodiment of the present application provides a tape sticking mechanism, which can replace manual labor to stick tape at the end of the mounting base of a linear motor. Specifically, the tape is supplied by a feeding module 1 and pulled by a tape pulling module 2 to unwind. The tape unwinds and passes through a tape cutting module 4 and a tape sticking module 3 in sequence. After the cutting member 401 cuts the tape, the cut part of the tape is adsorbed by the adsorbing member 301, and the adsorbing member 301 sticks the tape under the drive of the tape sticking linear module 302 to achieve automatic tape sticking, so as to support the automatic assembly of the linear motor, save manpower and improve the assembly efficiency of the linear motor.
