[0001] This invention relates to the field of winding equipment, specifically to a winding machine and winding method. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial applications, some products require the wrapping of adhesive tape for protection. Existing wrapping machines can only wrap products of specific shapes and along specific routes. This type of machine has low adaptability and is not cost-effective.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a winding machine and a winding method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a winding machine and winding method that effectively solves the problem of low product adaptability of existing winding machines.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:

[0006] A winding machine includes a frame, a tooling clamping device mounted on the frame, a robotic arm mounted on one side of the frame, and a winding mechanism mounted on the robotic arm.

[0007] Furthermore, the frame includes a frame body, a first profile plate and a second profile plate disposed on the upper end of the frame body, and the clamping fixture includes a first clamping assembly disposed on the first profile plate and a second clamping assembly disposed on the second profile plate. A gap is provided between the first profile plate and the second profile plate. A third clamping assembly is disposed on the frame body, and a third clamping assembly is disposed on the third clamping assembly that passes through the gap.

[0008] Furthermore: the first clamping assembly includes a first column and a first cylinder gripper on the first column; the second clamping assembly includes a second column and a second cylinder gripper on the second column; the third clamping assembly includes a third column on the frame, a third cylinder on the third column with its output end facing upward, a connecting frame at the output end of the third cylinder, and a third cylinder gripper on the connecting frame; the third connecting frame includes a first concave plate at the output end of the third cylinder and side plates on both sides of the first concave plate; a first waist-shaped groove is vertically provided on the side plates; and a second waist-shaped groove is horizontally provided on the first concave plate and threadedly connected to the first waist-shaped groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the winding mechanism includes a mounting head for fixed connection with the robotic arm, an arc-shaped mounting box on the mounting head, a first motor on the arc-shaped mounting box, a drive gear located at one end of the arc-shaped mounting box and driven by the first motor, a driven gear located at the other end of the arc-shaped mounting box, an open gear meshing with the drive gear and the driven gear, a winding roller located outside the open gear, a winding tape drive roller located outside the open gear, a winding tape driven roller located outside the open gear, and a release film driven roller located outside the open gear for rolling with the winding tape driven roller.

[0010] Furthermore, the winding mechanism also includes an arc-shaped baffle disposed on the inner side of the arc-shaped mounting box, the arc-shaped baffle being provided with a through hole for the winding tape to pass through.

[0011] A winding method includes the following steps:

[0012] S1. Fix both ends of the product to the No. 1 cylinder clamp and the No. 2 cylinder clamp respectively.

[0013] S2. Start the robotic arm so that the open gear is located on the outside of the product.

[0014] S3. Manually guide the wrapping tape to one end of the product and secure it.

[0016] S5. When the winding mechanism moves along the axial direction to the side of the No. 3 clamping assembly, the rotation of the winding mechanism and its movement along the axial direction are paused, and the No. 3 cylinder drives the No. 3 connecting frame to move down.

[0017] S6. After the No. 3 connecting frame moves down to reserve space for the winding mechanism to move, the program is started to make the winding mechanism continue to move along the axis and make the open gear rotate around the product to wrap the winding tape on the product. Then the No. 3 cylinder drives the No. 3 connecting frame to move up, so that the No. 3 cylinder gripper clamps the product.

[0018] S7. After the product is wrapped, pause the program, release the clamp on the product, and then remove the product.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the invention: The winding mechanism can travel in a different direction than a specific straight line or curve, but can be set according to the shape of the product to effectively complete the winding of the product in all directions, and has high adaptability to the product.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a winding machine is provided, the structure of which includes a frame 1, a clamping fixture disposed on the frame 1, a robotic arm 3 disposed on one side of the frame 1, and a winding mechanism 2 disposed on the robotic arm 3.

[0027] In actual use, the product is fixed on the clamping fixture, and then the robotic arm 3 moves along the product axis, and the winding mechanism 2 wraps the winding tape around the product.

[0028] In the above design, the winding mechanism 2 does not travel along a specific straight line or curve, but instead sets the winding route according to the shape of the product, which can effectively complete the winding of the product in all directions and has high adaptability to the product.

[0029] Specifically: such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the frame 1 includes a frame body 101, a first profile plate 102 and a second profile plate 103 disposed on the upper end of the frame body 101, and the clamping fixture includes a first clamping component 4 disposed on the first profile plate 102 and a second clamping component 5 disposed on the second profile plate 103. A gap is provided between the first profile plate 102 and the second profile plate 103. A third clamping component 6 is disposed on the frame body 101, and a third clamping component 6 is disposed on the third clamping component 6 that passes through the gap.

[0030] In actual use, clamping component 4 and clamping component 5 clamp the two ends of the product, while clamping component 6 clamps the middle of the product.

[0031] In the above design, the structural design of clamping component 4, clamping component 5, and clamping component 6 enables the product to be stable during winding.

[0032] Specifically: such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping assembly 4 includes a first column 41 and a first cylinder gripper 42 mounted on the first column 41. The second clamping assembly 5 includes a second column 51 and a second cylinder gripper 52 mounted on the second column 51. The third clamping assembly 6 includes a third column 61 mounted on the frame 101, a third cylinder 62 mounted on the third column 61 with its output end facing upward, a connecting frame 63 mounted on the output end of the third cylinder 62, and a third cylinder gripper 64 mounted on the connecting frame 63. The third connecting frame 63 includes a first concave plate 631 mounted on the output end of the third cylinder 62 and side plates 632 mounted on both sides of the first concave plate 631. A first waist-shaped groove 320 is vertically arranged on the side plate 632, and a second waist-shaped groove 310 is horizontally arranged on the first concave plate 631 and threadedly connected to the first waist-shaped groove 320.

[0033] In actual use, the first cylinder gripper 42 and the second cylinder gripper 52 respectively clamp the two ends of the product, while the third cylinder gripper 64 clamps the middle of the product, thus supporting the product with the side plate 632. When it is necessary to move the winding mechanism 2 out of position, the third cylinder 62 drives the connecting frame 63 to move the third cylinder gripper 64 downward, causing the third cylinder gripper 64 to release its grip on the product and the side plate 632 to disengage from the product.

[0034] The above design effectively secures the product, making it easy for the wrapping tape to be wrapped around it.

[0035] Specifically: such as Figure 2As shown, the winding mechanism 2 includes a mounting head 201 for fixed connection with the robotic arm 3, an arc-shaped mounting box 202 disposed on the mounting head 201, a primary motor 203 disposed on the arc-shaped mounting box 202, a drive gear disposed at one end of the arc-shaped mounting box 202 and driven by the primary motor 203, a driven gear disposed at the other end of the arc-shaped mounting box 202, an open gear meshing with the drive gear and the driven gear, a winding roller 07 disposed outside the open gear, a winding tape drive roller 208 disposed outside the open gear, a winding tape driven roller 209 disposed outside the open gear, and a release film driven roller 211 disposed outside the open gear for cooperating with the winding tape driven roller 209 for rolling.

[0036] In actual use, motor 203 drives the drive gear to rotate, which in turn causes the open gear to rotate. The electric winding roller 07, the winding tape drive roller 208, the winding tape driven roller 209, and the release film driven roller 211 rotate synchronously, causing the release film of the winding tape set on the winding roller 07 to peel off between the winding tape driven roller 209 and the release film driven roller 211, and the winding tape to peel off between the winding tape drive roller 208 and the winding tape driven roller 209.

[0037] In the above design, the structure of the winding mechanism 2 can effectively enable the winding tape to wind quickly.

[0038] Specifically: such as Figure 2 As shown, the winding mechanism 2 also includes an arc-shaped baffle 210 disposed on the inner side of the arc-shaped mounting box 202, and the arc-shaped baffle 210 is provided with a through hole 200 for the winding tape to pass through.

[0039] In actual use, the wrapping tape is peeled off by the wrapping tape drive roller 208 and the wrapping tape driven roller 209, enters the through hole 200, and then wraps around the product.

[0040] In the above design, the structure of the arc baffle 210 can prevent scratches on the product, and the design of the through hole 200 can make the winding tape less prone to torque during winding.

[0041] A winding method includes the following steps:

[0042] S1. Fix both ends of the product to the first cylinder jaw 42 and the second cylinder jaw 52 respectively.

[0043] S2, Start the robotic arm 3 so that the open gear is located on the outside of the product.

[0044] S3. Manually guide the wrapping tape to one end of the product and secure it.

[0045] S4. The start program causes motor 203 to drive the drive gear to rotate and move along the product axis, causing the open gear to rotate around the product and wrap the winding tape around the product.

[0046] S5. When the winding mechanism 2 moves along the axial direction to one side of the No. 3 clamping assembly 6, the rotation of the winding mechanism 2 and its movement along the axial direction are paused, and the No. 3 cylinder 62 drives the No. 3 connecting frame 63 to move down.

[0047] S6. After the No. 3 connecting frame 63 moves down to reserve space for the winding mechanism 2 to move, the program is started to make the winding mechanism 2 continue to move along the axial direction and make the open gear rotate around the product to wrap the winding tape on the product. Then the No. 3 cylinder 62 drives the No. 3 connecting frame 63 to move up, so that the No. 3 cylinder gripper 64 clamps the product.

[0048] S7. After the product is wrapped, pause the program, release the clamp on the product, and then remove the product.

[0049] In further detail, it should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
