The shaft 101 is adapted to extend into the inner hole of the guide sleeve 202. The inner hole of the guide sleeve 202 is provided with a guide member 205 adapted to be slidably fitted into the guide groove 102. The intermediate sleeve 203 includes a first end and a second end axially opposite to each other. The first end of the intermediate sleeve 203 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the guide sleeve 202 in an axially sliding and circumferentially rotating manner and can be axially limited by the first end of the guide sleeve 202. A gland 204 is connected to the second end of the intermediate sleeve 203 . The shaft 101 is adapted to extend into the inner hole of the gland 204 . A locking member 206 adapted to be slidably fitted in the guide groove 102 and the locking groove 103 is provided in the inner hole of the gland 204 . The elastic element 207 is provided between the gland 204 and the guide sleeve 202 to provide a force for the gland 204 to move away from the guide sleeve 202; the intermediate sleeve 203 and the gland 204 are fixed with screws to ensure that the elastic element 207 is in a compressed state; The paper pressing reel 201 is connected to the second end of the guide sleeve 202 via screws.

[0032] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2As shown, it also includes a brake disc 106, a paper disc seat 107, a spacer 108 and a paper disc lining 109. A flange 104 is provided at one end of the shaft body 101. The spacer 108 and the paper disc lining 109 are respectively sleeved outside the shaft body 101 and clamped on the two end surfaces of the paper tape tray 105 to prevent the paper tape disc from slipping and moving axially. The paper tape disc is sleeved on the paper disc lining 109 and one end is against the paper tape tray 105 (by pressing the paper tape disc). 201 presses the other end); one end face of the brake disc 106 is arranged between the spacer 108 and the flange 104 disc, and the flange 104 disc, the brake disc 106, the spacer 108, the paper tape tray 105, and the paper disc liner 109 are connected by a connecting piece; wherein, the flange 104 disc, the brake disc 106, the spacer 108, the paper tape tray 105, and the paper disc liner 109 are correspondingly provided with connecting holes, and the connecting pieces can be bolts, etc.

[0033] A paper tray shaft 110 is mounted on the paper tray seat 107. The paper tray shaft 110 extends into the inner hole of the shaft body 101. The shaft body 101 is rotatably connected to the paper tray shaft 110. A bearing and a spacer are provided between the paper tray shaft 110 and the inner hole of the shaft body 101.

[0034] The arrangement of brake disc 106, reel seat 107, spacer ring 108, and reel bushing 109 effectively prevents axial slippage or movement of the reel under high-speed rotation or vibration conditions, enhancing the reel's positional retention. Brake disc 106 provides stable braking for the reel, further enhancing safety and operational stability. The rotational engagement of reel shaft 110 with the inner bore of shaft body 101 provides reliable rotational support for shaft body 101, improving rotational flexibility and lifespan.

[0035] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the guide grooves 102 are provided with two symmetrical ones, and the plurality of locking grooves 103 are spaced apart along each of the guide grooves 102 . Through different compression amounts of the elastic element 207 , the guide grooves 102 can be adapted to paper tape reels of different widths.

[0036] It should be noted that the shape of the locking segment 103b can be regular or irregular.

[0037] Specifically, the guide groove 102 extends to an end of the shaft 101 away from the paper tape tray 105 .

[0038] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 7As shown, the inner hole of the guide sleeve 202 is provided with a limiting step 202a, and the end of the gland 204 facing the guide sleeve 202 is provided with an annular boss 204a axially outwardly protruding.

[0039] In one embodiment, the elastic element 207 comprises a compression spring having an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the shaft 101. The spring stiffness coefficient can be selected based on the specific tape reel dimensions. The preload force of the elastic element 207 and the locking groove 103 work together to form a dual anti-loosening structure, combining mechanical and elastic locking. This effectively prevents the tape reel from loosening or shifting due to vibration, impact, and other conditions during operation, ensuring safety and reliability, and significantly improving operational stability.

[0040] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a first limiting platform 202b is radially extended outward from the first end of the guide sleeve 202, and a second limiting platform 203a is radially extended inward from the first end of the intermediate sleeve 203, which is suitable for limiting and abutting against the first limiting platform 202b.

[0041] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the locking member 206 is a first pin extending radially inwardly along the inner hole of the gland 204, and the guide member 205 is a second pin extending radially inwardly along the inner hole of the guide sleeve 202. The first pin and the second pin can be cylindrical pins or block pins.

[0042] In one embodiment, the shaft 101 is made of steel and its surface is hard chrome plated to reduce the friction coefficient during sliding. The locking member 206 is a cylindrical pin.

[0043] The method for operating the locking device for quickly loading and unloading the tape reel comprises: S1. The paper tape reel is mounted on the paper reel bushing 109 on the shaft 101. During installation, the second end of the guide sleeve 202 is aligned with the shaft 101 and pushed axially to allow the shaft 101 to enter the guide sleeve 202. At the same time, the guide member 205 slides along the guide groove 102. S2. When the shaft body 101 reaches a position close to the inner hole of the pressure cover 204, the pressure cover 204 is pushed to move in a direction toward compressing the elastic element 207, so that the locking member 206 passes through the guide groove 102 and reaches the entrance position of the transition section 103a; S3. Rotate the pressing cover 204 (for example, 20°-30°) (clockwise) so that the locking member 206 enters the transition section 103a and reaches its tail end; release the pressing cover 204, and the elastic element 207 allows the locking member 206 to enter the locking section 103b and complete the locking. At this time, the paper tape reel is installed between the paper tape tray 105 and the paper pressure reel 201.

[0044] The disassembly process is the reverse of the installation process above.

[0045] By axially pushing and rotating the pressure cover 204, the paper tape reel can be quickly installed and removed without the help of auxiliary tools (such as a screwdriver). The entire operation process can be completed by one person with one hand, greatly improving the installation and removal efficiency.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
