Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated production equipment technology, and in particular to a tape box media tape insertion and application device. Background Technology
[0002] See Figure 1 The ribbon cartridge 1 includes a cartridge body 11, a printing media tape 18, an adhesive media tape 19, a carbon ribbon 110, a first pulley, a second pulley, a supply pulley, and a return pulley 12. The first pulley, second pulley, supply pulley, and return pulley 12 are rotatably supported inside the cartridge body 11. The cartridge body 11 has a first tape exit port 13, a second tape exit port 14, and a third tape exit port 15 arranged sequentially. A first slot 16 is provided between the first tape exit port 13 and the second tape exit port 14, and a second slot 17 is provided between the second tape exit port 14 and the third tape exit port 15. The first end of the carbon ribbon 110 is wound around the outer peripheral wall of the supply pulley. The second end passes through the first tape outlet 13, the first slot 16 and the tape take-up opening of the box 11 in sequence and is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the recycling wheel 12. The first end of the adhesive media tape 19 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the first pulley. The second end of the adhesive media tape 19 passes through the second slot 17 and the third tape outlet 15 in sequence and is discharged from the box 11. The first end of the printing media tape 18 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the second pulley. The second end of the printing media tape 18 passes through the first tape outlet 13, the first slot 16, the second tape outlet 14, the second slot 17 and the third tape outlet 15 in sequence and is discharged from the box 11. The second end of the printing media tape 18 is attached to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19.
[0003] Due to manufacturing process limitations, after the packaging process of the ribbon cartridge 21's body 11, such as... Figure 2As shown, the second end of the printing media tape 18 passes through the first tape outlet 13 and is located outside the box body 11. That is, the second end of the printing media tape 18 has not yet passed through the first slot 16, the second tape outlet 14, the second slot 17 and the third tape outlet 15 in sequence to exit the box body 11 and be pasted on the second end of the adhesive media tape 19. To expel the second end of the printing media tape 18, which exits through the first exit port 13, from the cartridge 11 by sequentially passing it through the first slot 16, the second exit port 14, the second slot 17, and the third exit port 15, and then attach it to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19, one existing method involves manually using tweezers to grasp the second end of the printing media tape 18 exiting through the first exit port 13 and sequentially passing it through the first slot 16, the second exit port 14, the second slot 17, and the third exit port 15 to exit the cartridge 11 and attach it to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19. However, manually using tweezers to pass and attach the second end of the printing media tape 18 cannot guarantee the consistent skill level of the operators, resulting in unstable processes, low production efficiency, high production costs, and the potential for damage to the printing media tape 18. This results in a high product defect rate. Another existing method involves controlling the pressure lever to press the second end of the printing media tape 18 from the through groove 141 on the cantilever at the second tape outlet 14 into the second tape outlet 14. At the same time, the second end of the printing media tape 18 is pressed into the second slot 17 and adhered to the adhesive media tape 19 inside the second slot 17. Then, the second end of the adhesive media tape 19 located outside the box 11 is pulled out to drive the second end of the printing media tape 18 through the third tape outlet 15 and out of the box 11, where it is adhered to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19. However, during the process of controlling the pressure lever to press the second end of the printing media tape 18 from the through groove 141 on the cantilever into the second tape outlet 14, the printing media tape 18 is prone to folding and wrinkling, which can easily damage the printing media tape 18, resulting in a high product defect rate and thus increasing production costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To achieve the main objective of this invention, this invention provides a ribbon cartridge media tape threading and pasting device that features a high degree of automation, stable and reliable operation, high yield rate, high production efficiency, and low production cost.
[0005] To achieve the main objective of this invention, a ribbon cartridge media tape insertion device is provided, comprising a limiting cavity for placing the ribbon cartridge to be processed and a tape insertion mechanism. The second end of the printing media tape of the ribbon cartridge to be processed passes through a first tape outlet of the cartridge body, and the second end of the printing media tape is positioned above the cartridge body in the Z-axis direction. The tape insertion mechanism includes a positioning claw, a positioning control mechanism, a picking needle, an adjustment control mechanism, a blade, a cutting control mechanism, a flat scraper, and a movement control mechanism. The positioning control mechanism can control the rotation and / or movement of the positioning claw, so that the positioning end of the positioning claw presses the printing media tape down into the second slot of the cartridge body in the Z-axis direction. The printing media tape between the positioning end and the first tape outlet is a through-feed section. The adjustment control mechanism can control the movement of the picking needle so that the picking needle is located below the through-feed section in the Z-axis direction and forces the through-feed section away from the box to form a curved section. The cutting control mechanism can control the movement of the blade to cut the curved section into a first tape segment and a second tape segment. The first tape segment is connected to the printing media tape located at the second slot, and the second tape segment is connected to the printing media tape that passes through the first tape outlet. The movement control mechanism can control the movement of the flat spatula so that the flat spatula presses the second tape segment down into the first slot of the box in the Z-axis direction, and the flat spatula forces the second tape segment through the second tape outlet of the box and sticks it to the adhesive media tape in the second slot.
[0006] As can be seen from the above scheme, the positioning end of the positioning claw of the tape-passing mechanism of the tape-passing device of the present invention can flatten and press the printing media tape into the second slot of the cartridge body in the Z-axis direction, and flatten and position the printing media tape to avoid the bending section of the printing media tape caused by the picking needle being forced away from the cartridge body, resulting in folding and wrinkling. At the same time as the blade cuts the bending section of the printing media tape into the first tape segment and the second tape segment, the flat spatula can flatten and press the second tape segment of the printing media tape into the first slot of the cartridge body in the Z-axis direction, and smoothly force the second tape segment of the printing media tape to pass smoothly through the second tape outlet of the cartridge body and stably press and stick it to the adhesive media tape in the second slot. The operation is stable and reliable, greatly improving the yield rate. Moreover, the tape-passing mechanism has a high degree of automation, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

The conveying mechanism includes a conveying control component, a conveying seat, and two sets of material picking mechanisms. The conveying control component can control the conveying seat to move in the X-axis direction.

The third gripper control mechanism is set on the linkage seat and can control the two third grippers to move toward or away from each other, so that the two third grippers clamp the second end of the adhesive media tape located outside the ribbon cartridge to be repaired, so as to drive the printing media tape to pass through the third tape outlet of the cartridge and be discharged from the cartridge and pasted on the second end of the adhesive media tape. The drive control mechanism can control the movement of the cutter to cut the adhesive media tape and printing media tape located between the ribbon cartridge to be repaired and the third grippers.
[0014] A further embodiment includes a first support base, a second support base, a first pressing block, a second pressing block, and a pressing block control mechanism.

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0041] See Figures 1 to 24This embodiment discloses a tape-cartridge media tape threading and pasting device 3, including a frame 31, a conveyor line 32, a feeding mechanism 33, a flipping mechanism 34, a handling mechanism 35, a tape threading and pasting mechanism 36, a pull-out cutting mechanism 37, a discharge mechanism 38, and a waste collection mechanism 39. The conveyor line 32, feeding mechanism 33, flipping mechanism 34, handling mechanism 35, tape threading and pasting mechanism 36, pull-out cutting mechanism 37, discharge mechanism 38, and waste collection mechanism 39 are respectively arranged on the frame 31. In this embodiment, the conveyor line 32, flipping mechanism 34, tape threading and pasting mechanism 36, pull-out cutting mechanism 37, and waste collection mechanism 39 are arranged side by side in sequence along the X-axis direction.
[0042] Combination Figures 5 to 8 In this embodiment, the conveyor line 32 is located at the end of the flipping mechanism 34 away from the tape-threading mechanism 36 in the X-axis direction, and the conveyor line 32 conveys the tape boxes 21 and 22 to be processed in the X-axis direction. The tape box media tape threading device 3 in this embodiment also includes a first limiting plate 310, a first limiting control mechanism 311, a second limiting plate 312, a second limiting control mechanism 313, and a blocking plate 314. The blocking plate 314 is disposed above the end of the conveyor line 32 near the flipping mechanism 34 in the X-axis direction. The first limiting plate 310 and the second limiting plate 312 are disposed opposite each other above the conveyor line 32 in the Y-axis direction and near the blocking plate 314 in the X-axis direction. The first limiting control mechanism 311 can control the first limiting plate 310 to move in the Y-axis direction, and the second limiting control mechanism 313 can control the second limiting plate 312 to move in the Y-axis direction. When the conveyor line 32 transports the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be operated to one end of the conveyor line 32 near the flipping mechanism 34 in the X-axis direction, the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 are limited by the blocking plate 314 in the X-axis direction. At the same time, the first limit control mechanism 311 controls the first limit plate 310 to move toward the second limit plate 312 in the Y-axis direction, and the second limit control mechanism 313 controls the second limit plate 312 to move toward the first limit plate 310 in the Y-axis direction. This makes the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be operated limited by the first limit plate 310 and the second limit plate 312 in the Y-axis direction. This limits and positions the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 on the conveyor line 32 that the feeding mechanism 33 is about to feed, so that the feeding mechanism 33 can accurately obtain the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 on the conveyor line 32 that are about to be fed, making the operation stable and reliable, and automatically conveying materials. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first limit control mechanism 311 and the second limit control mechanism 313 are both limit cylinders, and in this embodiment, the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be worked are placed flat on the conveyor line 32 for conveying.
[0043] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 33 is used to feed the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be processed on the conveyor line 32 to the flipping mechanism 34. The feeding mechanism 33 includes a vacuum suction cup 333, a feeding seat 332, and a feeding control component 331. The feeding control component 331 can control the feeding seat 332 to move in the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. The vacuum suction cup 333 is disposed on the feeding seat 332 so that the vacuum suction cup 333 adsorbs the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be processed on the conveyor line 32 and limits them between the baffle plate 314, the first limiting plate 310, and the second limiting plate 312, and supplies the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be processed to the flipping mechanism 34. That is, the feeding mechanism 33 is used to supply the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be processed to the flipping mechanism 34. Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding control component 331 is composed of an X-axis control cylinder and a Z-axis control cylinder.
[0044] Since the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be processed, which are adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup 333 of the feeding mechanism 33, are in a flat state, while the tape threading mechanism 36 requires the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be processed to be in a vertical state during the threading operation, that is, the second end of the printing media tape 18 of the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be processed is located above the box body 11 of the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 in the Z-axis direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 34 is located at the end of the tape threading mechanism 36 near the conveyor line 32 in the X-axis direction to flip the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be processed from a flat state to a vertical state.
[0045] Combination Figures 8 to 10 In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 34 includes a transfer seat 342, a transfer control component 341, a flipping seat 343, a flipping control component 344, two second grippers 345, and a second gripper control mechanism 346. The transfer control component 341 can control the transfer seat 342 to move in the Y-axis direction. The flipping seat 343 is rotatably supported on the transfer seat 342 about the X-axis direction. The flipping control component 344 can control the flipping seat 343 to rotate about the X-axis direction. The second gripper control mechanism 346 is disposed on the flipping seat 343 and can control the two second grippers 345 to move toward or away from each other. In this embodiment, the flipping control component 344 of the flipping mechanism 34 controls the flipping seat 343 to drive the two second grippers 345 and the second gripper control mechanism 346 to rotate synchronously so that the clamping area formed between the two second grippers 345 is in the horizontal direction. Then, the feeding control component 331 of the feeding mechanism 33 controls the vacuum suction cup 333 to transfer and place the flat ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be processed into the horizontal clamping area between the two second grippers 345 (e.g., Figure 8As shown), the second gripper control mechanism 346 controls the two second grippers 345 to move toward each other to clamp the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be worked. Then, the flipping control component 344 of the flipping mechanism 34 controls the flipping seat 343 to drive the two second grippers 345, the second gripper control mechanism 346, and the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be worked to rotate 90° around the X-axis, thereby causing the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be worked, held by the two second grippers 345, to rotate to a vertical position (as shown). Figure 10 As shown), the transfer control component 341 then controls the transfer seat 342 to move the flipping seat 343, the flipping control component 344, the two second grippers 345, the second gripper control mechanism 346, and the vertically positioned ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be processed in the Y-axis direction to the conveying mechanism 35. A set of material picking mechanisms 353 of the conveying mechanism 35 is used to load the vertically positioned ribbon boxes 21 and 22 on the flipping mechanism 34 to the limiting cavity 315 of the ribbon box media tape threading device 3. Thus, it can be seen that the flipping mechanism 34 in this embodiment operates stably and reliably, and has a high degree of automation. Specifically, the ribbon cartridge media tape threading device 3 in this embodiment further includes a first adjusting plate 347 and a first adjusting cylinder 348. When the feeding control component 331 of the feeding mechanism 33 controls the vacuum suction cup 333 to transfer the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 in a flat position to be processed and place them in the horizontal clamping area between the two second grippers 345, the first adjusting cylinder 348 controls the first adjusting plate 347 to move in the Z-axis and Y-axis directions, so that the first adjusting plate 347 moves towards the opening of the clamping area in the Y-axis direction, pushing the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 in a flat position to the preset position of the clamping area in the Y-axis direction. This facilitates the two second grippers 345 to accurately clamp the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 in a flat position, thereby improving work stability and reliability, and automating the operation. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transfer control component 341 is a transfer cylinder, and the flipping control component 344 is a flipping cylinder.
[0046] Combination Figure 11 and Figure 12In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 35 includes a conveying control component 351, a conveying seat 352, and two sets of material picking mechanisms 353. The conveying control component 351 can control the conveying seat 352 to move in the X-axis direction. The two sets of material picking mechanisms 353 are arranged side by side on the conveying seat 352 in the X-axis direction. One set of material picking mechanisms 353 is used to load and unload the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be worked. That is, in this embodiment, one set of material picking mechanisms 353 is used to load the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be worked, which are in a vertical state on the flipping mechanism 34, to the limiting cavity 315 of the ribbon box medium tape threading device 3. The other set of material picking mechanisms 353 is used to unload the ribbon boxes to be repaired after the tape threading mechanism 36 has been operated. That is, in this embodiment, the other set of material picking mechanisms 353 is used to unload the ribbon boxes to be repaired that are located in the limiting cavity 315 after the tape threading mechanism 36 has been operated. Each set of material handling mechanisms 353 includes a material handling control component 3531, a material handling seat 3532, two first grippers 3533, and a first gripper control mechanism 3534. The material handling control component 3531 can control the material handling seat 3532 to move in the Z-axis and Y-axis directions. The first gripper control mechanism 3534 is mounted on the material handling seat 3532 and can control the two first grippers 3533 to move toward or away from each other, thereby clamping the product for loading and unloading operations, achieving a high degree of automation. Specifically, in this embodiment, the material handling control component 351 consists of a motor, a lead screw, and a lead screw nut, and the material handling control component 3531 consists of a Z-axis control cylinder and a Y-axis control cylinder.
[0047] Combination Figures 13 to 16 In this embodiment, the limiting cavity 315 of the ribbon cartridge media tape threading device 3 is used to place the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be processed supplied by another set of material picking mechanism 353 of the conveying mechanism 35. The ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be processed in the limiting cavity 315 are in a vertical state, that is, the second end of the printing media tape 18 of the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be processed is located above the cartridge body 11 in the Z-axis direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting cavity 315 consists of a U-shaped enclosure 3151 and a top plate 3152 disposed on the open side of the U-shaped enclosure 3151. The lifting cylinder 3153 of the ribbon cartridge media tape insertion device 3 controls the top plate 3152 to move horizontally toward or away from the open side of the U-shaped enclosure 3151. When the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be worked are placed inside the U-shaped enclosure 3151, the lifting cylinder 3153 controls the top plate 3152 to move horizontally toward the open side of the U-shaped enclosure 3151 to press against the sides of the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be worked, so that the ribbon cartridges 21 and 22 to be worked are stably restricted within the limiting cavity 315 composed of the U-shaped enclosure 3151 and the top plate 3152, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the work.
[0048] This embodiment of the tape-through mechanism 36 includes a positioning claw 364, a positioning control mechanism, a picking needle 366, an adjustment control mechanism, a blade 363, a cutting control mechanism, a flat spatula 367, and a movement control mechanism. The positioning control mechanism can control the positioning claw 364 to rotate and / or move, so that the positioning end 3641 of the positioning claw 364 presses the printing media tape 18 down into the second slot 17 of the cartridge 11 in the Z-axis direction. The printing media tape 18 located between the positioning end 3641 of the positioning claw 364 and the first tape outlet 13 is the tape-through section 181. The adjustment control mechanism can control the picking needle 366 to move so that the picking needle 366 is located below the tape-through section 181 in the Z-axis direction and forces the tape-through section 181 to move. 81 forms a curved section 182 away from the housing 11. The cutting control mechanism can control the blade 363 to move to cut the curved section 182 into a first strip segment 1821 and a second strip segment 1822. The first strip segment 1821 is connected to the printing media strip 18 located at the second slot 17. The second strip segment 1822 is connected to the printing media strip 18 that passes through the first tape outlet 13. The movement control mechanism can control the flat spatula 367 to move so that the flat spatula 367 presses the second strip segment 1822 down into the first slot 16 of the housing 11 in the Z-axis direction. The flat spatula 367 forces the second strip segment 1822 through the second tape outlet 14 of the housing 11 and stick it to the adhesive media strip 19 in the second slot 17.
[0049] The ribbon box 21 to be used is placed inside the limiting cavity 315. Figure 2 As shown, the second end of the printing media tape 18 of the ribbon cartridge 21 to be processed passes through the first tape outlet 13 of the cartridge body 11 and is located outside the cartridge body 11. That is, the second end of the printing media tape 18 has not yet passed through the first slot 16, the second tape outlet 14, the second slot 17 and the third tape outlet 15 in sequence to exit the cartridge body 11 and stick to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19. The second end of the printing media tape 18 is separated from the adhesive media tape 19 of the ribbon cartridge 21 to be processed. At this time, the length of the printing media tape 18 of the ribbon cartridge 21 to be processed outside the cartridge body 11 is sufficient for the positioning end 3641 of the positioning claw 364 to press it down into the second slot 17 of the cartridge body 11 in the Z-axis direction.
[0050] Alternatively, the ribbon cassette 22 to be used is placed inside the limiting cavity 315. Figure 17As shown, the second end of the printing media tape 18 of the ribbon cartridge 22 to be processed passes through the first tape outlet 13 of the cartridge body 11 and is located outside the cartridge body 11 and is attached to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19 located outside the cartridge body 11. At this time, the second end of the printing media tape 18 has not yet passed through the first slot 16, the second tape outlet 14, the second slot 17 and the third tape outlet 15 in sequence to exit the cartridge body 11. Instead, it crosses the outside of the first slot 16, the second tape outlet 14, the second slot 17 and the third tape outlet 15 and is attached to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19 located outside the cartridge body 11. This ensures that the positioning end 3641 of the positioning claw 364 can accurately press the printing media tape 18 into the second slot 17 of the cartridge body 11 in the Z-axis direction for the tape insertion operation.
[0051] This embodiment includes a bonding mechanism 36 for... Figure 17 When the ribbon cartridge 22 is used for the mounting operation, the positioning control mechanism controls the positioning claw 364 to rotate and / or move, so that the positioning end 3641 of the positioning claw 364 presses the printing media tape 18 into the second slot 17 of the cartridge body 11 in the Z-axis direction, as shown. Figure 18 As shown, the printing media tape 18 located between the positioning end 3641 of the positioning claw 364 and the first tape outlet 13 of the ribbon cartridge 22 to be processed is a through-section 181. Then, the control mechanism is adjusted to control the movement of the picking needle 366 so that the picking needle 366 is located below the through-section 181 in the Z-axis direction and forces the through-section 181 away from the cartridge body 11 to form a bent section 182. That is, the picking needle 366 is inserted between the through-section 181 of the printing media tape 18 and the carbon ribbon 110 of the ribbon cartridge 22 to be processed. Subsequently, the control mechanism is adjusted to control the movement of the picking needle 366 to force the through-section 181 of the printing media tape 18 away from the cartridge body 11 to form a bent section 182. Figure 19 As shown, the cutting control mechanism then controls the blade 363 to move to cut the curved section 182 of the printing media tape 18 into a first tape segment 1821 and a second tape segment 1822, such that the first tape segment 1821 connects to the printing media tape 18 located at the second slot 17, and the second tape segment 1822 connects to the printing media tape 18 exiting the first tape outlet 13. Simultaneously, the movement control mechanism controls the flat spatula 367 to move so that the flat spatula 367 presses the second tape segment 1822 of the printing media tape 18 down into the first slot 16 of the cartridge 11 in the Z-axis direction, and the flat spatula 367 forces the second tape segment 1822 of the printing media tape 18 through the second tape outlet 14 of the cartridge 11 and adhere it to the adhesive media tape 19 in the second slot 17, as shown. Figure 20 As shown, the printing media tape 18 that passes through the first tape outlet 13 of the ribbon cassette 22 to be processed passes through the second tape outlet 14 of the ribbon cassette 22 to be processed and is attached to the adhesive media tape 19 in the second slot 17 to form a ribbon cassette to be processed.
[0052] In this embodiment, the tape-threading mechanism 36 of the ribbon cartridge media tape threading device 3 is applicable to all types of tapes. Figure 17 The ribbon box 22 to be used shown and Figure 2 The ribbon cartridge 21 to be used is used for the printing media tape 18. The positioning end 3641 of the positioning claw 364 of the tape-attaching mechanism 36 can flatten the printing media tape 18 into the second slot 17 of the cartridge 11 in the Z-axis direction, and flatten and position the printing media tape 18 to avoid the picking needle 366 forcing the attaching section 181 of the printing media tape 18 away from the curved section 182 formed by the tape body 11, resulting in folding and wrinkling. The blade 363 cuts the curved section 182 of the printing media tape 18 into the first tape segment 182. Simultaneously with the second tape segment 1822, the flat spatula 367 can smoothly press the second tape segment 1822 of the printing media tape 18 into the first slot 16 of the housing 11 in the Z-axis direction, and steadily force the second tape segment 1822 of the printing media tape 18 to pass smoothly through the second tape outlet 14 of the housing 11 and stably press and stick it to the adhesive media tape 19 in the second slot 17. The operation is stable and reliable, which greatly improves the yield rate. Moreover, the tape passing and pasting mechanism 36 has a high degree of automation, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
[0053] To ensure that the flat spatula 367 forces the second segment 1822 of the printing media tape 18 smoothly through the second tape outlet 14 of the housing 11 and precisely and stably presses and adheres the second segment 1822 of the printing media tape 18 onto the adhesive media tape 19 within the second slot 17, in this embodiment, the flat spatula 367 extends in a first direction, which is inclined relative to the Z-axis direction. The movement control mechanism can control the flat spatula 367 to move in both the Z-axis direction and the first direction. To ensure that the blade 363 does not damage the ribbon 110 during the cutting operation, in this embodiment, the cutting edge 3631 of the blade 363 is located on the top surface of the blade 363 in the Z-axis direction. The cutting control mechanism can control the blade 363 to move in both the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. In this embodiment, the blade 363 extends upward in the third direction and is inclined relative to the Z-axis direction. For the stability and reliability of the picking needle 366, in this embodiment, the adjustment control mechanism can control the picking needle 366 to move in both the second direction and the Y-axis direction, with the second direction inclined relative to the Z-axis direction. To ensure the operational stability and reliability of the positioning claw 364, and to simplify the structure, the positioning control mechanism in this embodiment can control the positioning claw 364 to rotate around the Y-axis. Specifically, the positioning control mechanism in this embodiment is a positioning rotary cylinder 365, the adjustment control mechanism consists of a Y-axis cylinder 3616 and a second-direction control cylinder 3615, and the cutting control mechanism consists of a Y-axis cylinder 3614 and a Z-axis cylinder 3613.
[0054] To further improve operational stability, reliability, and yield, the movement control mechanism in this embodiment includes a Z-axis control component, a moving base 3610, and a first direction control component. The Z-axis control component controls the moving base 3610 to move in the Z-axis direction. The first direction control component is mounted on the moving base 3610 and controls the flat shovel 367 to move in the first direction. A positioning block 368 is provided on the moving base 3610, which presses against the top of the ribbon boxes 21 and 22 to be worked in the Z-axis direction, thereby positioning the ribbon boxes 21 and 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the Z-axis control component is a Z-axis cylinder 369, and the first direction control component is a first direction control cylinder 3612. To further improve the yield rate, the tape threading mechanism 36 in this embodiment also includes a rotating shaft 362 and a shaft control mechanism 361. The shaft control mechanism 361 can control the rotating shaft 362 to move in the Y-axis direction and insert it into the take-up wheel 12 of the ribbon cassettes 21 and 22 to be processed. The shaft control mechanism 361 can also control the rotating shaft 362 to rotate around the Y-axis to drive the take-up wheel 12 to rotate. Since the first end of the ribbon 110 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the supply wheel, the second end of the ribbon 110 passes through the first tape outlet 13, the first slot 16 and the tape take-up outlet of the cassette 11 in sequence and is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the take-up wheel 12. This can tighten the ribbon 110 and prevent the ribbon 110 from becoming loose and affecting the printing quality of the product.
[0055] Combination Figures 21 to 24 In this embodiment, the pull-out cutting mechanism 37 is located at the end of the tape-threading mechanism 36 away from the flipping mechanism 34 in the Z-axis direction. The pull-out cutting mechanism 37 includes a limiting groove 316, a pull-out control mechanism 373, a linkage seat 374, two third grippers 376, a third gripper control mechanism 375, a cutter 372, and a drive control mechanism 371. The limiting groove 316 is used to place the tape box to be repaired after the tape-threading mechanism 36 has finished its operation. The pull-out control mechanism 373 can control the movement of the linkage seat 374. The third gripper control mechanism 375 is set on the linkage seat 374 and can control the movement of the two third grippers 376. The third grippers 376 move toward or away from each other so that they clamp the second end of the adhesive media tape 19 located outside the ribbon cartridge to be trimmed, thereby driving the printing media tape 18 to exit the cartridge 11 through the third tape outlet 15 and be attached to the second end of the adhesive media tape 19. The drive control mechanism 371 can control the cutter 372 to move to cut the adhesive media tape 19 and the printing media tape 18 located between the ribbon cartridge to be trimmed and the third grippers 376, thereby forming the finished ribbon cartridge within the limiting groove 316.
[0056] To ensure a smooth cut from the cutter 372 and a smooth discharge of the adhesive media tape 19 and printing media tape 18 that are pasted together with the finished ribbon cartridge, the pull-out cutting mechanism 37 in this embodiment further includes a first support base 377, a second support base 378, a first pressing block 379, a second pressing block 3710, and a pressing block control mechanism. The cutter 372 is located between the first support base 377 and the second support base 378. The adhesive media tape 19 and printing media tape 18 located outside the ribbon cartridge to be repaired can be positioned above the first support base 377 and the second support base 378 in the Z-axis direction. The pressing block control mechanism can control the movement of the first pressing block 379 and the second pressing block 3710 so that the first pressing block 379 presses against the first support base 377 in the Z-axis direction, and the second pressing block 3710 presses against the second support base 378 in the Z-axis direction.
[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting groove 316 is composed of a U-shaped enclosure 3161 and a side plate 3162 disposed on the open side of the U-shaped enclosure 3161. The drive cylinder 3163 of the ribbon cartridge media tape threading device 3 controls the side plate 3162 to move horizontally toward or away from the open side of the U-shaped enclosure 3161. When the ribbon cartridge to be repaired is placed in the U-shaped enclosure 3161, the drive cylinder 3163 controls the side plate 3162 to move horizontally toward the open side of the U-shaped enclosure 3161 to press against the side of the ribbon cartridge to be repaired, so that the ribbon cartridge to be repaired is stably restricted in the limiting groove 316 composed of the U-shaped enclosure 3161 and the side plate 3162, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the operation.
[0058] Furthermore, the waste collection mechanism 39 in this embodiment includes a waste suction cup 392, a suction cup control mechanism 391, and a waste collection bin 393. The suction cup control mechanism 391 can control the movement of the waste suction cup 392 so that the waste suction cup 392 can pick up the sticky media tape 19 and printing media tape 18 that have been cut off and separated from the box body 11 by the cutter 372, and place the waste in the waste collection bin 393. The waste collection bin 393 extends at an angle relative to the horizontal direction so as to transport the waste to the collection bag or collection box below, avoiding pollution to the working environment.
[0059] In this embodiment, the unloading mechanism 38 is used to unload the finished ribbon box after the operation of the pull-out cutting mechanism 37. The unloading mechanism 38 includes a transfer seat 382, a transfer control mechanism 381, two fourth grippers 384, and a fourth gripper control mechanism 383. The transfer control mechanism 381 can control the movement of the transfer seat 382. The fourth gripper control mechanism 383 is set on the transfer seat 382 and can control the two fourth grippers 384 to move toward or away from each other, so that the two fourth grippers 384 can grab the finished ribbon box in the limiting groove 316 for unloading operation.
[0060] Since the finished ribbon boxes gripped by the two fourth grippers 384 are in a vertical position, while subsequent packaging and conveying stations require the finished ribbon boxes to be in a horizontal position, the unloading mechanism 38 in this embodiment also includes a rotating mechanism 385. The rotating mechanism 385 includes a carrier seat 3851, a carrier control component 3852, a rotating seat 3853, a rotating control component 3854, two fifth grippers 3855, and a fifth gripper control mechanism. The carrier control component 3852 can control the carrier seat 3851 to move in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and the rotating seat 3853 is rotatably supported on the carrier seat 3851 around the X-axis direction. The rotation control component 3854 can control the rotation seat 3853 to rotate around the X-axis. The fifth gripper control mechanism is set on the rotation seat 3853 and can control the two fifth grippers 3855 to move toward or away from each other, so that the ribbon box product held by the two fifth grippers 3855 rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Then, the carrier control component 3852 controls the carrier 3851 to drive the rotation seat 3853, the rotation control component 3854, the two fifth grippers 3855, the fifth gripper 3855 control mechanism, and the horizontal ribbon box product to move in the X-axis and Y-axis directions for conveying.
[0061] To further improve the automation level of material discharge, the unloading mechanism 38 in this embodiment also includes a feeding mechanism 386. The feeding mechanism 386 includes an XZ axis control cylinder 3861, a mounting base 3862, and a feeding suction cup 3863. The XZ axis control cylinder 3861 can control the mounting base 3862 to move in the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. The feeding suction cup 3863 is set on the mounting base 3862. The feeding suction cup 3863 is used to pick up the finished ribbon box in a flat state on the rotating mechanism 385 and feed the finished ribbon box to other subsequent packaging and conveying stations.
