Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automation equipment, and in particular to an automatic tape applying device. Background Art
[0002] Coils are an indispensable key component of many electronic and electrical products. During the production process, the manufacture of coils usually requires completing the winding process first, and then sticking tape on its outer surface. This operation is mainly used to fix the wire turns and realize functions such as identification.
[0003] Currently, the industry primarily relies on manual methods or traditional semi-automatic equipment for coil winding and taping operations. However, these methods present numerous drawbacks. For one thing, manual operations are inefficient and difficult to adapt to the pace of large-scale industrial production. Furthermore, individual differences in manual operation make it difficult to ensure consistent coil winding dimensional accuracy. The positioning accuracy, tension control, and tape application quality of the tape also vary, severely impacting coil product quality and consistency. On the other hand, while traditional semi-automatic taping equipment has improved production efficiency to a certain extent, it still requires manual assistance for operations such as loading and coil positioning. Furthermore, this type of equipment has a low level of automation and cannot adapt to coils of varying specifications and sizes. This makes it significantly less versatile and flexible to meet diverse production needs. Furthermore, the tape cutting and application processes lack precise control, leading to issues such as tape waste and loose adhesion, which in turn increases production costs and reduces productivity.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] During the coil winding process, one end of the wire harness is fixed to a loading tray, which is mounted on a rotating turntable. As the loading tray rotates, the wire harness is gradually wound into a coil. Simultaneously, a wire pressing mechanism slides vertically to hold the coil above the loading tray. This mechanism limits the coil's winding height, ensuring a uniform height and preventing unevenness. When the coil reaches the predetermined number of turns and size, the loading tray stops, and coil winding is complete.
[0018] During the process of taping the coil, the tape discharge mechanism is responsible for drawing the tape from the tape reel and conveying it to the designated position. The cutting mechanism is located between the tape reel and the tape discharge mechanism. When the tape is conveyed to a certain length, the cutting mechanism will cut the tape according to the set size to obtain a tape length suitable for wrapping the coil. The conveying mechanism slides horizontally between the tape discharge mechanism and the loading tray. The conveying mechanism will convey the cut tape to the top of the loading tray for taping operations. After the tape is conveyed to the top of the loading tray, the first pasting mechanism slides vertically to paste the tape on the conveying mechanism to the outer peripheral surface of the coil. Through precise sliding control, the first pasting mechanism can ensure that the tape is pasted accurately and firmly, avoiding wrinkles, skewness, etc. on the tape, thereby achieving the functions of fixing and marking the coil.
[0019] During the coil unloading process, the unloading mechanism removes the taped coil from the loading tray through mechanical grabbing or other appropriate unloading methods, and transfers it to the conveyor. The conveyor transports the coil to the subsequent process or storage area, completing the entire production process of the automatic taping equipment.
[0020] To this end, the automatic taping equipment integrates coil winding, taping operations, and automatic unloading, reducing the conversion time and manual intervention between production links and greatly improving production efficiency. Compared with traditional manual operations or semi-automatic equipment, it can significantly shorten the production cycle and meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. The wire pressing mechanism in the winding device can accurately limit the winding height of the coil to ensure that the height of the coil is uniform. The cutting mechanism, conveying mechanism, and first pasting mechanism in the taping device can accurately control the length, conveying position, and pasting position of the tape, avoiding problems such as inconsistent size and loose tape pasting caused by manual operation, thereby significantly improving the product quality of the coil.

[0037] It should also be understood that the terms used in this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0038] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in this specification and the appended claims refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 The present invention provides an automatic tape-applying device that integrates coil winding, tape-applying operations, and automatic unloading. The device includes a work platform 2, on which a turntable 21 is rotatably mounted, a winding device 8, a tape-applying device, and an unloading device 9. The winding device 8 is mounted on the upper end surface of the turntable 21, and the tape-applying device and the unloading device 9 are respectively mounted on the work platform 2 along the circumference of the turntable 21.
[0040] Specifically, the winding device 8 includes a loading tray 81 and a wire pressing mechanism 82. The loading tray 81 is rotatably mounted on the turntable 21 to wind the wire harness into a coil 10. The wire pressing mechanism 82 is vertically slidably mounted above the loading tray 81. The wire pressing mechanism 82 presses the loading tray 81 to limit the winding height of the coil 10. The taping device includes a tape reel 1, a cutting mechanism 3, a tape discharge mechanism, a conveying mechanism 5, and a first pasting mechanism 6. The tape reel 1 is rotatably mounted, the tape discharge mechanism 4 is adjacent to one side of the tape reel 1, the cutting mechanism 3 is disposed between the tape reel 1 and the tape discharge mechanism 4, the conveying mechanism 5 is horizontally slidable between the tape discharge mechanism 4 and the loading tray 81, and the first pasting mechanism 6 is vertically slidable on the conveying mechanism 5. The unloading device 9 includes an adjacent unloading mechanism and a conveying member 95.
[0041] During the winding process of the coil 10, one end of the wire harness is fixed to the loading tray 81, which is rotatably mounted on the turntable 21. Under the rotation of the loading tray 81, the wire harness is gradually wound into the coil 10. At the same time, the wire pressing mechanism 82 slides in the vertical direction to press the coil 10 above the loading tray 81. The function of the wire pressing mechanism 82 is to limit the winding height of the coil 10, ensuring that the height of the coil 10 is uniform during the winding process and preventing the coil 10 from being uneven. When the coil 10 is wound to the predetermined number of turns and size, the loading tray 81 stops rotating, and the winding of the coil 10 is completed.
[0042] During the taping process on coil 10, the tape discharge mechanism 4 is responsible for drawing the tape 11 from the tape reel 1 and conveying it to a designated location. The cutting mechanism 3 is located between the tape reel 1 and the tape discharge mechanism 4. When the tape 11 has been conveyed to a certain length, the cutting mechanism 3 cuts the tape 11 according to the set size to obtain a tape length suitable for wrapping the coil 10. The conveying mechanism 5 slides horizontally between the tape discharge mechanism 4 and the loading tray 81. The conveying mechanism 5 conveys the cut tape 11 to the top of the loading tray 81 for taping. Once the tape 11 is conveyed to the top of the loading tray 81, the first pasting mechanism 6 slides vertically to adhere the tape 11 on the conveying mechanism 5 to the outer surface of the coil 10. Through precise sliding control, the first pasting mechanism 6 can ensure that the tape 11 is accurately and firmly pasted, preventing the tape 11 from wrinkling or skewing, thereby achieving the functions of fixing and marking the coil 10.
[0043] During the unloading process of the coil 10, the unloading mechanism takes the coil 10 with the tape applied from the loading tray 81 through mechanical grabbing or other suitable unloading methods, and transfers it to the conveyor 95. The conveyor 95 conveys the coil 10 to the subsequent process or storage area, completing the production process of the entire automatic tape application equipment.
[0044] In this regard, the automatic taping equipment integrates coil winding, taping operations and automatic unloading, reducing the conversion time and manual intervention between production links and greatly improving production efficiency. Compared with traditional manual operation or semi-automatic equipment, it can significantly shorten the production cycle and meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. The wire pressing mechanism 82 in the winding device 8 can accurately limit the winding height of the coil 10 to ensure that the height of the coil 10 is uniform. The cutting mechanism 3, the conveying mechanism 5 and the first pasting mechanism 6 in the taping device can accurately control the length, conveying position and pasting position of the tape 11, avoiding problems such as inconsistent size and loose tape pasting caused by manual operation, thereby significantly improving the product quality of the coil 10.
[0045] Thanks to the automated operation of the equipment, each production process is carried out according to preset parameters, ensuring high consistency in the size of each coil 10, the placement and effect of the tape 11, and other aspects, significantly improving product quality consistency. The equipment can adaptively adjust to coils 10 of varying specifications and sizes, meeting diverse production needs without the need for frequent equipment changes or complex adjustments, thus enhancing its versatility and flexibility.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the first attachment mechanism 6 includes two sets of downward pressing assemblies 61 and two sets of side pressing assemblies 62. The two sets of downward pressing assemblies 61 are horizontally symmetrically arranged on the conveying mechanism 5, and can each move vertically to press down the ends of the adhesive tape 11 to wrap the top of the coil 10. The two sets of side pressing assemblies 62 are oppositely arranged on either side of the loading tray 81, and can each move horizontally to press the ends of the adhesive tape 11 to wrap the sides and bottom of the coil 10.
[0047] When the tape 11 is conveyed to the top of the loading tray 81, the two sets of downward pressing components 61 will move in the vertical direction, pressing down the two ends of the tape 11 so that the two ends of the tape 11 can wrap around the top of the coil 10, achieving the initial fixation and wrapping of the top of the coil 10. After the top of the coil 10 is pasted, the two sets of side pressing components 62 will move in the horizontal direction, pressing the two ends of the tape 11 so that the two ends of the tape 11 are firmly pressed against the sides and bottom of the coil 10, ensuring that the tape 11 completely wraps the outer peripheral surface of the coil 10, achieving the function of fixing and marking the coil 10.
[0048] Through the synergistic action of two sets of downward pressing components 61 and two sets of side pressure components 62, the tape 11 can wrap the coil 10 in all directions from the top, both sides and bottom. This multi-directional wrapping method can significantly improve the firmness of the tape adhesion, avoid the tape 11 from loosening, falling off, etc. during subsequent use, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the coil 10. The precise movement of the downward pressing component 61 and the side pressure component 62 can ensure that the tape 11 is flatly attached to the surface of the coil 10 during the pasting process, avoiding problems such as wrinkles and skewness of the tape 11, which not only improves the pasting quality of the tape 11, but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the coil 10. In addition, the design of the first pasting mechanism 6 can be adaptively adjusted according to coils 10 of different specifications and sizes. By adjusting the range of motion and strength of the downward pressing component 61 and the side pressure component 62, the equipment can meet the tape application requirements of coils 10 of different sizes without the need for frequent equipment replacement or complex equipment adjustments.
[0049] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a first linear module 51, a second linear module 52, and a vacuum suction member 53. The first linear module 51 is horizontally arranged between the tape discharge mechanism 4 and the loading tray 81, the second linear module 52 is vertically fixed to the horizontal driving end of the first linear module 51, and the vacuum suction member 53 is fixed to the vertical driving end of the second linear module 52.
[0050] After receiving the control signal, the first linear module 51 activates, driving the second linear module 52 at its horizontal drive end to move horizontally until it reaches above the cut tape 11 at the tape discharge mechanism 4, ready to pick up the tape 11. When the first linear module 51 reaches the pickup position, the second linear module 52 activates, and its vertical drive end drives the vacuum suction member 53 fixed thereto downward in the vertical direction. When the vacuum suction member 53 contacts the cut tape 11, it activates its vacuum suction function to absorb the tape 11.
[0051] After picking up the tape 11, the second linear module 52 drives the vacuum suction unit 53 upward a certain distance to prevent the tape 11 from colliding with other components during movement. The first linear module 51 is then activated again, driving the second linear module 52 and the vacuum suction unit 53, which is holding the tape 11, to move horizontally, delivering the tape 11 to the top of the coil 10 on the loading tray 81, ready for taping. The second linear module 52 is then activated again, causing the vacuum suction unit 53 to descend vertically, allowing the two sets of downward pressure assemblies 61 and the two sets of side pressure assemblies 62 to perform the taping operation.
[0052] To this end, through the coordinated operation of the first linear module 51 and the second linear module 52, the horizontal and vertical position movement of the vacuum suction member 53 can be precisely controlled, thereby accurately conveying the cut tape 11 from the tape discharge mechanism 4 to the top of the coil 10 on the loading tray 81, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire taping process. The entire operation process of the conveying mechanism 5 is automatically completed by the first linear module 51, the second linear module 52, and the vacuum suction member 53, without the need for human intervention. This not only improves production efficiency and reduces the errors and uncertainties caused by manual operation, but also reduces labor intensity, enabling the entire automatic taping equipment to achieve efficient and stable automated production. The vacuum suction member 53 uses vacuum adsorption to pick up and convey the tape 11, and can firmly absorb the tape 11 without damaging it. This can avoid problems such as wrinkles and tears in the tape 11 during transportation, ensure the integrity of the tape 11, and thus improve the quality and effect of taping 11.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, two sets of pressing assemblies 61 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the vacuum suction member 53. The pressing assemblies 61 include a first driving member 611 and a pressing block 612. The first driving member 611 is fixed to the vertical driving end of the second linear module 52, and the pressing block 612 is fixed to the vertical driving end of the first driving member 611. The two sets of pressing blocks 612 slide through the vacuum suction member 53. At the same time, the two sets of pressing blocks 612 are respectively provided with guide surfaces 613 at one end for pressing down the coil 10, and the two guide surfaces 613 face each other.
[0054] After the vacuum suction member 53 delivers the tape 11 to the top of the coil 10 on the loading tray 81, the first drive member 611 of the downward pressure assembly 61 is activated, driving the downward pressure block 612 to move vertically downward. Because the downward pressure block 612 slides through the vacuum suction member 53, it can pass through the vacuum suction member 53 and directly act on the end of the tape 11 being sucked by the vacuum suction member 53, thereby applying pressure to the tape 11 on one side to wrap one side of the coil 10. After the wrapping of one side of the coil 10 is completed, the other downward pressure assembly 61 is activated to wrap the other side of the coil 10, and the operating principle is similar.
[0055] The two sets of pressing components 61 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the vacuum suction piece 53, and the pressing block 612 slides through the vacuum suction piece 53. The compact structural design makes full use of the space, making the layout of the first pasting mechanism 6 more reasonable, and realizing the integration of multiple functions in a limited space, which does not affect the normal operation of the conveying mechanism 5 and can efficiently complete the pasting task of the tape 11.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the side pressure assembly 62 includes a second driving member 621 and a side pressure block 622. The side pressure block 622 is fixed to the horizontal driving end of the second driving member 621, and the two sets of side pressure blocks 622 can slide towards each other from under the coil 10 into the loading tray 81.
[0057] After the two sets of pressing components 61 have completed the pasting of the tape 11 on the top and both sides of the coil 10, a set of second driving members 621 is first started, and the second driving members 621 drive the side pressure block 622 to move in the horizontal direction. Driven by the second driving members 621, the side pressure block 622 slides from under the coil 10 into the loading tray 81. During the sliding process, the side pressure block 622 will contact one end of the tape 11 that has been pasted on the top and both sides of the coil 10 and apply horizontal pressure to it. As the side pressure block 622 continues to advance, one end of the tape 11 will be gradually squeezed and wrapped around the bottom of the coil 10. Then another set of second driving members 621 is started to squeeze the other side of the tape 11 and wrap it around the bottom of the coil 10, finally completing the all-round tape 11 wrapping of the entire coil 10.
[0058] The design of the side pressure assembly 62 enables the tape 11 to completely wrap around both sides and the bottom of the coil 10. This, in conjunction with the lower pressure assembly 61, achieves full coverage of the coil 10 with the tape 11, ensuring that the coil 10 is fully packaged and improving product quality. The side pressure assembly 62 works in conjunction with the lower pressure assembly 61, the conveyor mechanism 5, and other components to form an organic whole. After the top and sides of the coil 10 are taped, the side pressure assembly 62 promptly taps the bottom. The seamless coordination of these components improves the efficiency of the entire automatic taping machine.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment, the tape discharge mechanism includes a clamping assembly 41 and a supporting assembly 42. The clamping assembly 41 includes a first clamping member 411, a second clamping member 412, and a third linear module 413. The first clamping member 411 is fixed to the horizontal drive end of the third linear module 413. The first clamping member 411 is capable of clamping one end of the tape 11, while the second clamping member 412 is capable of clamping the other end of the tape 11. The cutting mechanism 3 is disposed adjacent to the second clamping member 412, and the supporting assembly 42 is disposed between the first clamping member 411 and the second clamping member 412.
[0060] The tape reel 1 rotates to release the tape 11, and the third linear module 413 drives the first clamping member 411 to move in the horizontal direction after receiving the control signal. During the movement, the first clamping member 411 pulls one end of the clamped tape 11 forward, and at the same time, the supporting assembly 42 continues to support the tape 11 to ensure smooth transportation of the tape 11. When the tape 11 is transported to the set length, the end of the tape 11 away from the first clamping member 411 is clamped by the second clamping member 412, and the cutting mechanism 3 located adjacent to the second clamping member 412 starts working to cut the tape 11 according to the preset size. After completing the transportation and cutting of the tape 11, the third linear module 413 drives the first clamping member 411 back to the initial position to prepare for the next tape transportation operation. This cycle is repeated to continuously provide the tape applying device with a suitable length of tape 11.
[0061] In this regard, by controlling the moving distance of the first clamping member 411 through the third linear module 413, the conveying length of the tape 11 can be accurately controlled. In conjunction with the cutting mechanism 3, it can be ensured that the length of the tape after each conveying and cutting meets the requirements of wrapping the coil 10, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the taping operation. The first clamping member 411 and the second clamping member 412 respectively clamp the two ends of the tape 11, while the supporting assembly 42 supports the tape 11 in the middle, ensuring the stability of the tape 11 during the conveying process, avoiding problems such as shaking, wrinkling or offset of the tape 11, and providing a good foundation for subsequent cutting and taping operations. The moving distance of the third linear module 413 can be adjusted as needed, and the tape discharging mechanism 4 can adapt to tapes 11 of different specifications. For tapes 11 of different widths, thicknesses and materials, stable conveying and accurate cutting can be achieved by adjusting the parameters of the third linear module 413, thereby enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the taping device.
[0062] In one embodiment, the cutting mechanism 3 includes a fifth driving member 31 and a cutting member 32. The cutting mechanism 3 is located at one end of the second clamping member 412, and the cutting member 32 is fixed to the horizontal driving end of the fifth driving member 31. The driving direction of the fifth driving member 31 is perpendicular to the discharge direction of the tape discharge mechanism 4.
[0063] When the tape applying device is in operation, the tape discharging mechanism 4 continuously draws out the tape 11 from the tape reel 1 and conveys it forward. When the tape 11 needs to be cut, the fifth driving member 31 receives a control signal and starts working. The fifth driving member 31 drives the cutting member 32 to move in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the tape 11 to cut the tape 11, thereby obtaining a tape segment that meets the set length to meet the requirements of wrapping the coil 10. By controlling the driving stroke of the fifth driving member 31, the position where the cutting member 32 cuts into the tape 11 can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the tape cutting length to ensure that the length of the tape after each cut can meet the requirements of wrapping the entire coil 10, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the tape applying.
[0064] In one embodiment, the support assembly 42 includes a support portion 421 and a third drive member 422. The support portion 421 is fixed to the vertical drive end of the third drive member 422. When the first clamping member 411 begins to convey the adhesive tape 11, the third drive member 422 is in an initial position to avoid blocking the movement of the first clamping member 411. When the adhesive tape 11 is conveyed to a set length, the third drive member 422 drives the support portion 421 to move upward to support the adhesive tape 11 between the first clamping member 411 and the second clamping member 412, placing the adhesive tape 11 in a state more conducive to cutting. At the same time, it prevents the adhesive tape 11 from sagging due to its own gravity or external forces after cutting, ensuring that the subsequent adhesive tape 11 can be conveyed by the conveying mechanism 5.
[0065] Furthermore, the tape discharge mechanism includes a plurality of rollers 43, which are rotatably mounted between the tape reel 1 and the tape discharge mechanism 4. The tape 11 is connected to the bottom of the rollers 43 in a rolling manner. When the tape reel 1 rotates to release the tape 11, the tape 11 contacts the bottom of the rollers 43 due to its own weight and the pulling force. Because the rollers 43 are rotatable, the tape 11 drives the rollers 43 to roll during movement. This rolling action reduces the friction between the tape 11 and the supporting components, allowing the tape 11 to be more smoothly transported from the tape reel 1 to the tape discharge mechanism 4.
[0066] The tape discharge mechanism 4 also includes a photoelectric sensor 44, which is located between the tape reel 1 and the tape discharge mechanism 4. The photoelectric sensor 44 emits light from its transmitter. When the tape 11 passes through the detection area of the photoelectric sensor 44 as it is conveyed from the tape reel 1 to the tape discharge mechanism 4, it blocks the light emitted by the transmitter, causing the optical signal received by the receiver to change. The photoelectric sensor 44 converts this change in optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system.
[0067] By analyzing and processing the electrical signals, the control system can determine the position and movement of the tape 11, as well as whether it is missing or broken. For example, when the tape 11 is moving normally, the photoelectric sensing mechanism 44 will periodically detect changes in the signal indicating that the tape 11 is blocking light, thereby confirming that the tape 11 is being conveyed normally. If no signal changes are detected within a certain period of time, it may indicate that the tape 11 is blocked, broken, or in short supply. This notifies the operator to address the problem, preventing problems such as tape application errors or equipment damage, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 8 In one embodiment, the tape application device further includes a second adhesive bonding mechanism 7, which is located adjacent to the first adhesive bonding mechanism 6 and serves as the next adhesive bonding station for the coil 10. While the first adhesive bonding mechanism 6 completes the tape wrapping of the top, sides, and bottom of the coil 10, the edges or joints of the tape 11 may require further compaction, smoothing, or secondary adhesive bonding. Based on this, the second adhesive bonding mechanism 7 utilizes a specific mechanical structure and action to address these areas.
[0069] Specifically, the second pasting mechanism 7 includes a fourth driving member 71, a mounting bracket 72, an upper pressing assembly 73, and an internal pressing assembly 74. The mounting bracket 72 is fixed to the horizontal driving end of the fourth driving member 71. The upper pressing assembly 73 can slide from under the coil 10 into the loading tray 81 to vertically press the edge of the tape 11. The internal pressing assembly 74 can slide horizontally above the coil 10 to adhere the edge of the tape 11 to the top of the coil 10.
[0070] When the fourth driving member 71 is started, its horizontal driving end will drive the mounting frame 72 to slide horizontally, so that the mounting frame 72 can be moved to the designated position as needed to prepare for the subsequent pasting operation. Driven by the mounting frame 72, the upper pressure component 73 can slide into the loading tray 81 from under the coil 10. When it reaches the designated position, the upper pressure component 73 will move vertically upward, apply pressure to the edge of the tape 11, and lift the edge of the tape 11 from the bottom. Subsequently, the internal pressure component 74 will move horizontally to the position of the edge of the tape, and then apply horizontal pressure to the edge of the tape to tightly stick the edge of the tape 11 to the top of the coil 10. In this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the upper pressure component 73 and the internal pressure component 74 are consistent with those of the lower pressure component 61 and the side pressure component 62.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10In one embodiment, a winding post 811 is protruding from the top of the loading tray 81, and the wire pressing mechanism 82 includes a wire pressing cylinder 821 and a wire pressing disc 822. The wire pressing cylinder 821 is disposed on the rotary disk 21, and the wire pressing disc 822 is fixed to the vertical driving end of the wire pressing cylinder 821. The wire pressing disc 822 is located above the loading tray 81 to press the winding post 811.
[0072] Before winding the coil 10, the wire pressing mechanism 82 is in the initial position, and the wire pressing disc 822 is located above the loading tray 81, but maintains a certain distance from the winding post 811 so that the wiring harness can be smoothly fixed on the winding post 811. After one end of the wiring harness is fixed on the winding post 811, the wire pressing cylinder 821 is started, and its vertical drive end pushes the wire pressing disc 822 to move downward. The wire pressing disc 822 gradually approaches the winding post 811 and is finally pressed on the winding post 811. Then the loading tray 81 starts to rotate and wind the wire harness. Through the pressing effect of the wire pressing disc 822, the coil 10 is always kept in a fixed plane during the winding process, avoiding the situation that the coil 10 is uneven due to uneven winding. After the coil 10 is wound to a predetermined number of turns and size, the loading tray 81 stops rotating. At this time, the wire pressing cylinder 821 is driven in the opposite direction, so that the wire pressing disc 822 is lifted upward and returned to the initial position for subsequent tape application operation.
[0073] Furthermore, the loading tray 81 is provided with a winding groove 812 and a limiting groove 813 along the circumference of the winding column 811 , and the winding groove 812 is connected to the limiting groove 813 , and the limiting groove 813 is used to fix the head of one end of the wire harness.
[0074] Before winding the coil 10, one end of the wiring harness needs to be firmly fixed on the loading tray 81 to ensure that the wiring harness will not loosen or shift during the winding process. The limiting groove 813 provides a fixed position for the head of the wiring harness, and the wiring harness can be initially fixed by inserting the head of the wiring harness into the limiting groove 813. After one end of the wiring harness is fixed in the limiting groove 813, as the loading tray 81 rotates, the wiring harness will gradually be wound around the winding post 811 along the winding groove 812 to form the structure of the coil 10. The provision of the winding groove 812 can ensure that the wiring harness remains neat during the winding process and avoid the wiring harness from crossing, winding or deviating from the predetermined path during the winding process. Guided by the winding groove 812, the wiring harness can be evenly wound around the winding post 811 to form a regular coil 10.
[0075] In this embodiment, a wire harness container 84 is also provided at the loading station of the wire harness. The wire harness container 84 is installed on the work platform 2 and is adjacent to the unloading device 9. Among them, a slope 841 is provided on the side of the wire harness container 84 for unloading. The unwound wire harness is placed in the wire harness container 84, and the wire harness is loaded onto the loading tray 81 through the slope 841. The wire harness container 84 is used to store unwound wire harnesses. A large number of wire harnesses are placed in the wire harness container 84 so that loading operations can be performed at any time. The design of the slope 841 is to guide the wire harness to be smoothly transferred from the wire harness container 84 to the loading tray 81. After the wire harness is taken out of the wire harness container 84, it only needs to slide along the slope 841 to reach the loading tray 81, thereby improving the loading efficiency.
[0076] The winding device 8 also includes a wire feeding mechanism 85, which includes an ejector drive 851, a wire feeding frame 852, a spring 855, a wire pressing plate 853 and a wire pressing wheel 854. Among them, the ejector drive 851 is arranged on the work platform 2 along the circumference of the turntable 21, and the wire feeding frame 852 is arranged at the circumference edge of the turntable 21. The wire pressing plate 853 is provided with an ejector block 856 and a connecting portion 857 that slide horizontally through the wire feeding frame 852. The spring 855 is sleeved on one end of the connecting portion 857 away from the wire pressing plate 853, and the two ends of the spring 855 are respectively in contact with the ends of the wire feeding frame 852 and the connecting portion 857. The ejector drive 851 is used to abut the ejector block 856, and the wire pressing plate 853 and the wire feeding frame 852 are respectively rotatably connected to the wire pressing wheel 854.
[0077] When the wire harness is loaded, the ejector drive 851 is started, and its driving end extends forward and abuts against the ejector block 856 on the wire pressing plate 853, thereby pushing the ejector block 856 to slide horizontally so that the wire harness can be placed between the wire pressing plate 853 and the two wire pressing wheels 854 of the wire feeding frame 852. Under the action of the ejector drive 851, the wire pressing plate 853 slides forward, and the connecting part 857 also moves accordingly. The spring 855 is compressed, generating an elastic force, which provides power for the automatic reset of the wire pressing plate 853. The two wire pressing wheels 854 cooperate with each other to squeeze and convey the wire harness, ensuring that the wire harness remains taut and stable during the transportation process so that the coil 10 is tightly formed. After the wire harness is wound and taped, when it is needed to be unloaded, the ejector drive 851 is started again to eject the wire pressing plate 853 so that the coil 10 can be taken out.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 12 In one embodiment, the automatic tape applying device further includes a locking mechanism 83, which includes a locking cylinder 831 and a locking member 832. The locking cylinder 831 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 21, and the locking member 832 is fixed to the horizontal driving end of the locking cylinder 831 to clamp the fixed end at the bottom of the loading tray 81.
[0079] When winding the coil 10, the locking cylinder 831 is in its initial position, and the locking member 832 maintains a certain distance from the fixed end at the bottom of the loading tray 81, so that the loading tray 81 can rotate and wind freely. When the coil 10 is wound and the loading tray 81 needs to be fixed for the subsequent taping operation, the locking cylinder 831 is activated, and the horizontal driving end of the locking cylinder 831 pushes the locking member 832 toward the loading tray 81. The locking member 832 gradually approaches the fixed end at the bottom of the loading tray 81 and eventually clamps the fixed end. Through the clamping action of the locking member 832, the loading tray 81 is positioned on the turntable 21, preventing it from rotating or moving during the taping process.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 11 In one embodiment, the blanking mechanism includes a blanking linear module 91, a vertical moving member 92, a clamping cylinder 93, and a gripper 94. The blanking linear module 91 is fixedly mounted on the work platform 2, the vertical moving member 92 is vertically slidably mounted on the horizontal drive end of the blanking linear module 91, the clamping cylinder 93 is mounted on the vertical moving member 92, and the gripper 94 is movably mounted on the drive end of the clamping cylinder 93. In this embodiment, three sets of clamping cylinders 93 and grippers 94 are provided: one set is used to clamp the head of the coil 10, and the other two sets clamp the opposite sides of the coil 10.
[0081] The linear module 91 precisely adjusts its horizontal movement based on control signals, allowing the gripper 94 to precisely reach the coil 10 and, after gripping it, move it to the conveyor 95. By moving the vertical member 92 up and down, the gripper 94 can reach above or below the coil 10 for gripping or releasing. The gripper cylinder 93 controls the opening and closing of the gripper 94. The design of multiple gripper cylinders 93 and gripper 94 ensures that the coil 10 remains stable during the gripping process, preventing it from falling or being damaged due to a loose grip.
[0082] During the unloading operation, the unloading linear module 91 is activated, and its horizontal drive end drives the vertical moving member 92 and the gripper 94 to move horizontally until the gripper 94 reaches above the coil 10. At this point, the gripper 94 is directly above the coil 10, ready for the grabbing operation. The vertical moving member 92 is then activated, driving the gripper 94 to move vertically downward until it reaches the desired position over the coil 10. At this point, the clamping cylinder 93 is activated, and its drive end pushes the gripper 94 closed, firmly gripping the head and sides of the coil 10. After the clamping cylinder 93 completes the clamping action, the vertical moving member 92 is activated in the reverse direction, driving the gripper 94 to move vertically upward, lifting the coil 10 from the loading tray 81. After the vertical moving member 92 lifts the coil 10, the unloading linear module 91 is activated again, and its horizontal drive end drives the vertical moving member 92 and the gripper 94 to move horizontally, transferring the coil 10 to the conveyor 95. When the gripper 94 reaches above the conveyor 95, the vertical moving part 92 starts again, driving the gripper 94 to move downward in the vertical direction until the gripper 94 reaches the discharge position of the conveyor 95. The clamping cylinder 93 starts in the reverse direction, and its driving end pulls the gripper 94 open, releasing the coil 10 onto the conveyor 95, thereby conveying the coil 10 to other workstations through the conveyor 95.
[0083] In this embodiment, the conveyor member 95 is a conveyor belt, and the conveyor member 95 is movably mounted at the unloading station. The speed of the conveyor belt can be adjusted by a drive device. Based on production requirements, the conveyor belt can operate at different speeds to match the rhythm of the loading, taping, and unloading processes. When the automatic taping equipment is in operation, the conveyor member 95 can be positioned at the unloading station, and the conveying direction of the conveyor member 95 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. When the automatic taping equipment is not in operation, the conveyor member 95 can be removed from the unloading station to avoid occupying work space.

Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, and such modifications or substitutions should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
