Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of adhesive tape, and in particular to an automatic detection and replacement device for adhesive tape. Background Art

[0002] In the field of wire harness encapsulation, the use of automatic encapsulation machines can greatly improve the quality, consistency, and efficiency of wire harness encapsulation. Although automatic encapsulation machines can theoretically continuously encapsulate until the tape on the tape roll is exhausted, in actual production, manual intervention is required in advance to determine the amount of tape and replace it with new tape before the tape is exhausted, resulting in extremely high labor costs and delaying the pace of encapsulation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and propose an automatic tape detection and replacement device, which can automatically judge whether the tape roll on the tape quick-change disk is capable of completing the subsequent tape wrapping operation through a photoelectric sensor before wrapping. At the same time, a device for automatically replacing tape is provided to realize automatic switching between tape quick-change disks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following specific technical solutions:

[0005] The present invention provides an automatic adhesive tape detection and replacement device, which includes a base plate, a three-dimensional moving mechanism, a tape quick-change disk clamp, and a new tape quick-change disk. The three-dimensional moving mechanism is fixedly connected to the base plate, the tape quick-change disk clamp is fixed to the terminal end of the three-dimensional moving mechanism, and the new tape quick-change disk is mounted on the base plate via a positioning pin. The device is characterized in that a photoelectric switch and a tape quick-change disk to be replaced fixed on a laminating machine are fixedly connected to the base plate, and the photoelectric switch is fixed below the tape on the tape quick-change disk to be replaced.

[0006] When the photoelectric switch detects that the tape quick change disc on the gluing machine needs to be replaced, the three-dimensional moving mechanism drives the tape quick change disc clamp to move to the top of the gluing machine, removes the tape quick change disc to be replaced, and the three-dimensional moving mechanism drives the tape quick change disc clamp to grab the new tape quick change disc and accurately replace it on the gluing machine.

[0007] Preferably, the number of the lagging machine is at least one.

[0008] Preferably, the number of new tape quick-change discs is the same as the number of lagging machines; the number of positioning pins is four times the number of lagging machines.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a gluing machine positioning seat and a recycling box, which is fixedly connected to the base plate and is used to recycle the tape quick-change disc to be replaced; the number of gluing machine positioning seats is determined according to the number of gluing machines.

[0010] Preferably, the tape quick-change plate clamping jaws are pneumatic clamping jaws.

[0011] Preferably, quick-change buttons are installed on both sides of the quick-change tray for the tape to be replaced and the quick-change tray for the new tape.

[0012] Preferably, the quick-change button includes an inner tube, an outer tube, an outer cover, a compression spring, a steel ball and a retaining spring. The inner tube is fixedly connected to the quick-change disk for the tape to be replaced and the quick-change disk for the new tape. A steel ball groove for placing the steel ball is provided on the inner wall of the inner tube. The outer tube is sleeved on the outer side of the inner tube and is restricted by the retaining spring located at the top of the inner tube. After the outer tube and the inner tube are matched, a compression spring is installed in the middle gap. The outer cover is fixedly connected to the outer tube. The outer tube is provided with a circle of outer tube annular groove along the circumferential direction, and a circle of annular platform is formed circumferentially below the outer tube annular groove.

[0013] By pressing and releasing the quick-change button with the clamping claws of the tape quick-change disc, the steel ball is squeezed by the annular table into the annular groove of the positioning pin or moved into the annular groove of the outer cylinder, thereby locking and separating the tape quick-change disc to be replaced or the new tape quick-change disc from the laminating machine.

[0014] The present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0015] 1. By adding a photoelectric switch, it can automatically determine whether the tape on the tape quick change disk can complete subsequent operations before laminating.

[0016] 2. Automatic switching between tape quick change discs can be achieved by adding an automatic tape replacement device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The photoelectric switch 12 is fixed below the tape on the replacement tape quick-change disk 40a.

[0030] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a substrate of an automatic tape detection and replacement device provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the automatic detection and replacement device for adhesive tape further includes a positioning seat 13 for a rubber lagging machine, a positioning pin 14 and a recycling box 15. The recycling box 15 is fixedly connected to the base plate 11 and is used to recycle the quick-change disc 40a of the adhesive tape to be replaced; the positioning pin 14 is fixedly connected to the base plate 11; the number of the positioning seats 13 for the rubber lagging machine is equal to the number of the rubber lagging machines 60, and the number of the positioning pins 14 is four times the number of the rubber lagging machines 60.

[0032] At least one encapsulating machine 60 is installed; if multiple encapsulating machines 60 are installed, there is no restriction on their layout on the base plate 11 .

[0033] The number of positioning pins 14 and new tape quick-change trays 40 b is determined by the number of laminating machines 60 . If there are more than one positioning pins 14 and new tape quick-change trays 40 b , their layout on the substrate 11 is not limited.

[0034] The tape quick-change plate clamp 30 is a pneumatic clamp with a simple structure, light weight, simple installation and maintenance, and convenient adjustment of output force and working speed.

[0035] Quick-change buttons 41 are designed on both sides of the tape quick-change disk 40a to be replaced and the new tape quick-change disk 40b. The quick-change buttons 41 cooperate with the positioning pins 14 to improve the replacement efficiency of the tape quick-change disk clamp 30; one quick-change button 41 corresponds to one positioning pin 14.

[0036] Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a new tape quick-change tray provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the quick-change button 41 is fixedly connected to the new tape quick-change disc 40b, so as to facilitate quick installation or removal in conjunction with the tape quick-change disc clamping claws 30. The structure of the tape quick-change disc to be replaced is the same as that of the new tape quick-change disc 40b.

[0038] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a quick-change button provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the quick-change button 41 includes an inner tube 411, an outer tube 412, an outer cover 413, a compression spring 414, a steel ball 415 and a retaining spring 416.
