Figure 8 A structural diagram from another perspective of the automatic roll paper assembly device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 9 Shown Figure 8 An enlarged structural diagram at E. An embodiment of the present application provides an automatic roll paper assembly device, which includes: an assembly table 10, a first conveying mechanism 20, a second conveying mechanism 30, an automatic roll paper assembly device 40, a clamping and fixing component 50, a cutting mechanism 60, an ejection mechanism 70, a flipping mechanism 80 and a pressing mechanism 91. The assembly table 10 is provided with at least one positioning portion 11 for positioning the shell (not shown in the figure). The first conveying mechanism 20 is used to convey the shell to the positioning portion 11. The second conveying mechanism 30 is used to convey the paper material 92. The automatic roll paper assembly 40 includes a first rotating mechanism 41 and a fixing portion 42 connected to the first rotating mechanism 41. The fixing portion 42 is used to fix the head of the paper material 92, and the first rotating mechanism 41 is used to drive the fixing portion 42 to rotate. The clamping and fixing component 50 includes a first moving mechanism 51 and a first clamping mechanism 52 for clamping the paper material 92. The first moving mechanism 51 is connected to the first clamping mechanism 52 and is used to drive the paper material 92 clamped by the first clamping mechanism 52 to move toward the fixed portion 42, so that the head of the paper material 92 is fixed on the fixed portion 42. The cutting mechanism 60 is used to cut the paper material 92. The ejection mechanism 70 is used to eject the roll paper on the fixed portion 42, so that the roll paper is separated from the fixed portion 42. The turning mechanism 80 includes a support frame 81, and the turning mechanism 80 is used to drive the support frame 81 to turn to the first position and the second position (such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown in FIG5 , when the support rack 81 is in the first position, the position of the support rack 81 corresponds to the position of the fixing portion 42 so as to receive the roll of paper ejected from the fixing portion 42. When the support rack 81 is in the second position, the position of the support rack 81 corresponds to the position of the positioning portion 11. Optionally, the support rack 81 is provided with a through hole 811. The ejected roll of paper enters the through hole 811 accordingly. The pressing mechanism 91 includes a pressing portion 911 corresponding to the position of the support rack 81, which is used to drive the pressing portion 911 to move up and down, so that the roll of paper in the support rack 81 is pressed into the shell of the positioning portion 11 corresponding to the position of the support rack 81.

[0046] When the automatic roll paper assembly device is working, the shell is transported to the positioning portion 11 by the first conveying mechanism 20, and the positioning portion 11 plays a positioning role for the shell; the paper 92 is transported by the second conveying mechanism 30, and the first clamping mechanism 52 of the clamping fixing assembly 50 clamps the paper 92, and the first moving mechanism 51 drives the paper 92 clamped by the first clamping mechanism 52 to move toward the fixing portion 42, so that the head of the paper 92 is fixed on the fixing portion 42; the first rotating mechanism 41 drives the fixing portion 42 to rotate accordingly. The paper roll is wound on the fixed part 42, and stops rotating when the number of winding turns of the paper roll reaches a preset range; the paper material 92 is cut by the cutting mechanism 60, and the paper roll on the fixed part 42 is ejected by the ejection mechanism 70; the ejected paper roll enters the support rack 81, and the flipping mechanism 80 drives the support rack 81 to flip to the second position; the pressing mechanism 91 drives the pressing part 911 to move up and down, so that the paper roll in the support rack 81 is pressed into the shell corresponding to the position of the support rack 81. It can be seen that the loading action of the shell, the manufacturing of the paper roll and the action of pressing it into the shell all do not require manual intervention, thus realizing automatic paper rolling. At the same time, the gluing process and automatic assembly can be omitted, the assembly quality can be improved, the labor cost can be reduced, and the work efficiency can be improved.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, a plurality of positioning portions 11 are provided and spaced apart along the circumference of the assembly platform 10. Furthermore, the automatic roll paper assembly apparatus further includes a second rotation mechanism 93. The second rotation mechanism 93 is connected to the assembly platform 10 and is configured to rotate the assembly platform 10. Optionally, the assembly platform 10 is provided with, for example, a loading station, an assembly station, and an unloading station. The output end of the first conveying mechanism 20 is opposite to the loading station, and the shell is conveyed to the positioning part 11 located at the loading station; driven by the second rotating mechanism 93, the shell at the positioning part 11 of the loading station rotates to the next station, and when the fixing part 42 drives the shell to move to the assembly station, the support rack 81 corresponds to the position of the positioning part 11 located at the assembly station, and the pressing mechanism 91 drives the pressing part 911 to move up and down, so that the paper roll in the support rack 81 is pressed into the shell of the positioning part 11 corresponding to the position of the support rack 81; the second rotating mechanism 93 continues to drive the assembly table 10 to rotate, and rotates the shell assembled with the paper roll to the unloading station, and performs unloading at the unloading station. Among them, since there are multiple positioning parts 11, when one of the positioning parts 11 rotates to the loading station for loading, another positioning part 11 rotates to the assembly station for assembly, and another positioning part 11 rotates to the unloading station for unloading, so that work efficiency is improved.

[0048] In one embodiment, the positioning portions 11 on the assembly table 10 are set to one, two, three, four, five, six or other numbers, for example, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0049] In one embodiment, the positioning portion 11 is configured as a notch or recess on the edge of the assembly platform 10, which is adapted to and positioned in a restricted manner with a positioning rod on the bottom of the housing. This allows the housing delivered by the output end of the first conveyor mechanism 20 to the loading station to directly enter and be positioned within the positioning portion 11. Furthermore, when the assembly platform 10 rotates the housing with the paper roll assembled therein to the unloading station, it can be easily disengaged from the positioning portion 11.

[0050] Of course, as some optional solutions, the positioning portion 11 can also be, for example, at least one positioning protrusion provided on the surface of the assembly table 10, and the positioning of the shell is achieved by the positioning protrusion abutting against the outer wall of the shell.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first rotating mechanism 41 and the second rotating mechanism 93 each include but are not limited to being configured as a motor or other power equipment capable of providing rotational force.

[0052] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the automatic roll paper assembly device further includes a second clamping mechanism 94 and a transfer assembly 95. The second clamping mechanism 94 is used to clamp or release the shell. The transfer assembly 95 is connected to the second clamping mechanism 94 and is used to drive the second clamping mechanism 94 to move from the unloading station of the assembly table 10 to the next process station. In this way, when the shell equipped with the roll paper moves to the unloading station, the transfer assembly 95 drives the second clamping mechanism 94 to move to the unloading station and clamps the roll paper through the second clamping mechanism 94, and then the transfer assembly 95 drives the second clamping mechanism 94 to move to the next process station, thereby enabling the shell equipped with the roll paper to be transferred from the unloading station on the organization table to the next process station without manual transfer, resulting in a higher degree of automation and higher work efficiency.

[0053] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the transfer assembly 95 can be either a first transfer mechanism 951 that moves along a first direction, the first transfer mechanism 951 is connected to the second clamping mechanism 94, and drives the second clamping mechanism 94 to move and adjust the position along the first direction; or a first transfer mechanism 951 that moves along a first direction and a second transfer mechanism 952 that moves along a second direction, the second transfer mechanism 952 is connected to the first transfer mechanism 951, thereby enabling the position of the shell to be moved and adjusted along the first direction and the second direction; or a third transfer mechanism that moves along a first direction, the second transfer mechanism 952 that moves along the second direction, and a third transfer mechanism that moves along a third direction.

[0054] Optionally, the first clamping mechanism 52 and the second clamping mechanism 94 each include but are not limited to pneumatic clamps, hydraulic power clamps, motor screw-driven clamps, motor cam-driven clamps, motor gear-driven clamps and other forms of clamping mechanisms, which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0055] Optionally, the first transfer mechanism 951, the second transfer mechanism 952, the third transfer mechanism, and the first moving mechanism 51 each include but are not limited to a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor screw, a motor gear, a motor pulley, a motor cam power mechanism, and the like power mechanisms.

[0056] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 20 includes a vibration plate 21 and a conveying member 22. The discharge port of the vibration plate 21 is connected to one end of the conveying member 22, and the other end of the conveying member 22 faces the loading station of the assembly table 10, and is used to convey the shell to the positioning part 11 located at the loading station. In this way, during the vibration process of the vibration plate 21, the shells inside can be arranged in sequence and enter the conveying member 22, and the conveying member 22 conveys the shells one by one to the positioning part 11 located at the loading station. The shells conveyed to the positioning part 11 are moved to the assembly station under the rotation of the assembly table 10. It can be seen that the degree of automation is high and the work efficiency is high.

[0057] In one embodiment, the conveying channel within the vibrating plate 21 is equipped with a fixed plate spaced relative to the inner wall of the vibrating plate 21. The spacing between the fixed plate and the inner wall of the vibrating plate 21 is adapted to the dimensions of the housing, preventing axial movement of the housing during conveying and ensuring conveying direction and stability. Furthermore, the dimensions of the discharge port of the vibrating plate 21 are adapted to the dimensions of the housing, allowing the housings to be discharged one by one.

[0058] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the conveying member 22 includes a conveying base plate 221 and at least one limiting rib 222 spaced apart above the conveying base plate 221. When the shell reaches the conveying member 22, the conveying base plate 221 supports the conveying shell, and the limiting rib 222 fixes the top surface of the shell to ensure the stability of the arrangement and the accuracy of the conveying. In this embodiment, the positioning portion 11 is configured as a notch on the edge of the assembly table 10, and the tail end of the conveying member 22 faces the notch that is rotated to the loading station. The width of the notch is larger than the outer diameter of the positioning rod on the bottom of the shell, so that the positioning rods have a gap when inserted into the notch, and can fix and limit a single shell each time. Through the continuous rotation of the assembly table 10, the shell is driven to be transported to the next station.

[0059] See also Figure 1In one embodiment, the automatic roll paper assembly device further includes a frame 96. The second conveying mechanism 30 includes a support 31 connected to the frame 96, a reel 32 rotatably connected to the support 31, and a driving wheel 33 and a driven wheel 34 connected to the frame 96. Optionally, the assembly table 10, the first rotating mechanism 41, the first moving mechanism 51, the cutting mechanism 60, the ejection mechanism 70, the flipping mechanism 80 and the pressing mechanism 91 are all connected to the frame 96. In this way, under the power drive of the driving wheel 33, the paper material 92 wound on the reel 32 is gradually unwound, and under the guiding action of the driven wheel 34 and the drive of the first rotating mechanism 41, the paper material 92 is smoothly wound on the fixed portion 42, thereby obtaining a roll of paper.

[0060] See also Figure 4 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, a third rotating mechanism 35 is provided on the frame 96. The third rotating mechanism 35 is connected to the driving wheel 33 to drive the driving wheel 33 to rotate. When the driving wheel 33 rotates, the paper material 92 is driven to move accordingly by the friction between the driving wheel 33 and the paper material 92. Optionally, the driving wheel 33 includes but is not limited to being set as a rubber wheel, which has a large friction force with the paper material 92 when contacting the paper material 92, while causing less damage to the paper material 92. The third rotating mechanism 35 is, for example, provided with a servo motor. The rubber wheel is, for example, connected to the rotating shaft at the head end of the servo motor by screws, and can be driven to rotate by the servo motor. At the same time, the servo motor is, for example, connected to the frame 96 by screws and is located on the opposite side of the rubber wheel. During feeding, the paper material 92 is driven forward by the friction between the rubber wheel and the paper material 92.

[0061] In one embodiment, compared to the driving wheel 33, the driven wheels 34 primarily serve to guide the paper material 92. A greater number of driven wheels 34 provides a better guiding effect. Specifically, the number of driven wheels 34 can be flexibly configured, for example, as two, three, four, five, six, or another number, depending on actual needs. Optionally, the driven wheels 34 can be rollers, for example, connected to a flat plate of the frame 96 via screws, with limit plates installed on either side of the rollers. The rollers are clearance-fitted with the roller shaft, allowing for free rotation.

[0062] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, at least two reels 32 are connected to the support 31 in parallel and spaced apart. The support 31 is movably connected to the frame 96. The automatic roll paper assembly device also includes a second moving mechanism 36 connected to the support 31, and the second moving mechanism 36 is used to drive the support 31 to move. In this way, the second moving mechanism 36 drives the support 31 to move and adjust its position, so that the paper 92 on the at least two reels 32 can be put into use sequentially.

[0063] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6In one embodiment, a slider 37 is provided at the bottom of the support 31, and a slide rail 38 is correspondingly provided on the frame 96. The slider 37 is slidably connected to the slide rail 38. Specifically, there are two slide rails 38, for example, spaced apart from each other. The sliders 37 are respectively located on the two slide rails 38. Optionally, the two sliders 37 are connected to a movable plate 39, and the support 31 is mounted on the movable plate 39.

[0064] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, the automatic roll paper assembly device further includes a receiving housing 97 disposed below one of the reels 32. The receiving housing 97 has a pre-set groove 971 for receiving the paper 92. Thus, the paper 92 released from the reel 32 will enter the pre-set groove 971, ensuring that the length of the paper 92 is sufficient, that is, a certain amount of margin is left, and thus ensuring the stability of the paper 92 during the conveying process.

[0065] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the automatic coiling assembly 40 further includes a rotating disk 43 connected between the first rotating mechanism 41 and the fixed portion 42. The first rotating mechanism 41 is connected to one side of the frame 96, and the rotating disk 43 is located on the other side of the frame 96. The fixed portion 42 includes two steel needles 421 connected to the rotating disk 43, and the gap between the two steel needles 421 is less than or equal to the thickness of the paper 92. The first moving mechanism 51 is used to drive the head of the paper 92 clamped by the first clamping mechanism 52 to pass through the gap between the two steel needles 421 and be fixed between the two steel needles 421.

[0066] Specifically, the first moving mechanism 51 is connected to the first clamping mechanism 52 via the first connecting plate 53. The first moving mechanism 51 is, for example, disposed on the frame 96 and specifically employs a pneumatic cylinder to drive the first connecting plate 53 to move up and down, thereby driving the first clamping mechanism 52 to move up and down, so that the head of the paper material 92 clamped by the first clamping mechanism 52 passes through the gap between the two steel needles 421 and is fixed between the two steel needles 421. After the head of the paper material 92 is fixed between the two steel needles 421, the first clamping mechanism 52 releases the head of the paper material 92 and resets under the movement of the first moving mechanism 51. Then, driven by the first rotating mechanism 41, the paper material 92 can be wound around the fixed portion 42.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 52 includes a cylinder and a robot arm. The cylinder is connected to the robot arm, and the cylinder controls the robot arm to clamp or release the paper 92 .

[0068] In one embodiment, the steel needle 421 is fixed to the rotating disk 43 by means including but not limited to welding, clamping, bonding, riveting, threaded connection, etc., and can rotate as the rotating disk 43 rotates.

[0069] In one embodiment, the paper 92 is wound by a motor controlled to grip and fix the paper 92 and then rotate and curl it. During the winding process, a set number of rotations is sent to the motor, which drives the rotating disk 43 and the two steel needles 421 to rotate. When the set number of rotations is reached, the paper 92 is wound. The size of the paper roll can be freely adjusted by adjusting the number of rotations.

[0070] See also Figure 2 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the cutting mechanism 60 is disposed adjacent to the fixing portion 42. The cutting mechanism 60 includes a first cutting member 61, a second cutting member 62, and a third moving mechanism 63. The first cutting member 61 is fixed to the frame 96, and the third moving mechanism 63 is connected to the second cutting member 62. The third moving mechanism 63 is used to drive the second cutting member 62 toward or away from the first cutting member 61. The first cutting member 61 and the second cutting member 62 are located on opposite sides of the paper material 92.

[0071] See also Figure 2 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the first cutting member 61 and the second cutting member 62 are each, for example, a blade. The cutting surface of the first cutting member 61 and the cutting surface of the second cutting member 62 are flush with each other. Driven by the third moving mechanism 63, the second cutting member 62 performs a shearing motion to cut the paper material 92.

[0072] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the ejection mechanism 70 includes: a fourth moving mechanism 71, a second connecting plate 72, a first connecting rod 73, and a push plate 74. The fourth moving mechanism 71 is mounted on the second connecting plate 72, which is connected to the frame 96 via the first connecting rod 73. The fourth moving mechanism 71 is connected to the push plate 74 and is used to drive the push plate 74 to move. The push plate 74 is located on a side close to the fixed portion 42 of the first rotating mechanism 41. In this way, when the fourth moving mechanism 71 is activated, the push plate 74 is pushed forward. Since the push plate 74 is located on a side close to the fixed portion 42 of the first rotating mechanism 41, that is, on the rear side of the automatic winding assembly 40, it can drive the roll of paper wound on the fixed portion 42 to move forward, allowing the roll of paper to enter the material support rack 81.

[0073] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism 80 is used to drive the material support rack 81 to flip from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction, that is, to adjust the roll of paper entering the material support rack 81 to a position relative to the shell, and to flip from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction, that is, to adjust the material support from a position relative to the shell to a position relative to the fixing part 42.

[0074] It should be noted that the tilting mechanism 80 includes a fifth movable mechanism. The fifth movable mechanism is connected to the material support frame 81 via a connecting rod assembly. When the fifth movable mechanism drives the connecting rod assembly, the connecting rod assembly correspondingly rotates the material support frame 81. The specific configuration of the connecting rod assembly varies; any specific configuration is sufficient as long as the fifth movable mechanism can control the material support frame 81 to rotate in one direction when it extends and in the other direction when it retracts.

[0075] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the automatic roll paper assembly device further includes a fourth rotating mechanism 98 connected to the pressing mechanism 91. The fourth rotating mechanism 98 drives the pressing mechanism 91 to rotate by a preset angle, which is, for example, 180°, so that the pressing portion 911 of the pressing mechanism 91 can be rotated to a position opposite to the positioning portion 11 or to a position staggered from each other. In this way, after the roll paper in the support rack 81 is pressed into the shell of the positioning portion 11 corresponding to the position of the support rack 81, the pressing portion 911 of the pressing mechanism 91 is reset. In addition, the fourth rotating mechanism 98 drives the pressing mechanism 91 to rotate by a preset angle, so that the pressing portion 911 is staggered from the positioning portion 11, so that when the flipping mechanism 80 drives the support rack 81 to flip from the second position to the first position, it will not interfere with the pressing portion 911.

[0076] In one embodiment, an automatic roll paper assembly method employs the automatic roll paper assembly device of any of the above embodiments, and the automatic roll paper assembly method comprises the following steps:

[0077] The housing is conveyed to the positioning portion 11 by the first conveying mechanism 20 ;

[0078] The paper material 92 is transported by the second transport mechanism 30, the first clamping mechanism 52 clamps the paper material 92, and the first moving mechanism 51 drives the paper material 92 clamped by the first clamping mechanism 52 to move toward the fixing portion 42, so that the head of the paper material 92 is fixed on the fixing portion 42;

[0079] The first rotating mechanism 41 drives the fixing portion 42 to rotate the clamped paper 92 together, so that the paper roll is wound on the fixing portion 42, and stops rotating when the number of winding turns of the paper roll reaches a preset range;

[0080] The paper material 92 is cut by the cutting mechanism 60, and the roll of paper on the fixing portion 42 is ejected by the ejection mechanism 70;

[0081] The ejected roll of paper enters the support rack 81, and the turning mechanism 80 drives the support rack 81 to turn to the second position;

[0082] The pressing mechanism 91 drives the pressing portion 911 to move up and down, so that the roll paper in the support rack 81 is pressed into the housing corresponding to the position of the support rack 81 .

[0083] The above-mentioned automatic paper roll assembly method, the shell loading action, the paper roll manufacturing and the pressing action into the shell, all do not require human intervention, realizing automatic paper rolling, and at the same time can omit the gluing process and automatic assembly, thereby improving assembly quality, reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency.
