Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tape roll production technology, specifically to an automatic tape roll feeding, stacking, bagging, and heat-sealing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the tape manufacturing industry, stacking individual tape rolls neatly in a certain quantity (e.g., ten rolls per group) and then packaging them together with heat-shrink film is a common form of factory packaging. Traditional packaging processes typically rely heavily on manual labor or are completed in segments using multiple single-function semi-automated devices. For example, manual labor or simple conveyor belts are required for transport, manual inspection of label quality, manual straightening and verticalizing of the flat-conveyed tape rolls, manual counting and stacking, and finally, the tape rolls are transported to a heat-sealing machine for sealing. This production method has significant drawbacks: low production efficiency, high dependence on manual labor, and high labor intensity; manual inspection is prone to fatigue, leading to a high risk of missing labels, curled edges, and other defects; poor coordination between processes, with pauses and waiting times in material flow, resulting in a slow overall cycle time; and manual stacking makes it difficult to ensure the absolute accuracy of the quantity and neatness of each group of tape rolls, leading to poor final packaging consistency and affecting the product's appearance.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated device that can achieve continuous, efficient, and high-precision automation of the entire process from feeding, testing, posture conversion, and automatic stacking of a single tape roll to the entire group of heat-sealed bags, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an automatic feeding, stacking, bagging, and heat-sealing equipment for adhesive tape rolls. This equipment aims to achieve unmanned or reduced-management operation throughout the entire adhesive tape roll packaging process through integrated and automated design. Specific objectives include: automatic online detection of adhesive tape roll label quality and immediate removal of defective products; automatic and smooth transition of adhesive tape rolls from a flat conveying state to an upright stacking state, with on-demand directional flipping of the label surface; orderly stacking of adhesive tape rolls within a defined channel; and synchronous and smooth transfer and automated heat-shrink film sealing of the entire set of adhesive tape rolls. Ultimately, this significantly improves production efficiency, reduces labor costs, and ensures consistent and stable packaging quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic feeding, stacking, bagging, and heat-sealing equipment for adhesive tape rolls includes a frame. The frame is equipped with an adhesive tape roll conveyor line, an adhesive tape roll detection mechanism, an adhesive tape roll unloading and flipping mechanism, an unloading limiting mechanism, an adhesive tape roll stacking mechanism, a synchronous pushing mechanism, and a roll film sealing mechanism. The adhesive tape roll conveyor line transports individual adhesive tape rolls in an orderly manner. The adhesive tape roll detection mechanism, located along the conveying direction of the conveyor line, detects the affixing status of labels on the adhesive tape rolls and rejects defective products. The adhesive tape roll unloading and flipping mechanism receives the adhesive tape rolls output from the conveyor line, transforms the flat-lying rolls into an upright position, and oriented the label side of the rolls as needed. The unloading limiting mechanism forms a limiting channel for the upright adhesive tape rolls. The adhesive tape roll stacking mechanism stacks multiple adhesive tape rolls into a group and transports them along the limiting channel. The synchronous pushing mechanism synchronously pushes the entire group of adhesive tape rolls to the roll film sealing area. The roll film sealing mechanism seals the entire group of adhesive tape rolls with roll film.

[0007] Furthermore, the tape roll conveyor line includes a tape roll input line and a tape roll output line connected together. An anti-accumulation output port is provided at the connection between the tape roll output line and the tape roll input line. An arc-shaped feeding track is provided at the end of the tape roll output line to change the tape roll from a flat state to an upright state.

[0008] Furthermore, the tape roll inspection mechanism includes a horizontal height inspection component, a label surface inspection component, a position inspection component, a defective product rejection component, and a defective product collection box.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal height detection component includes a laser displacement sensor mounted on a first mounting bracket; the label surface detection component includes a visual inspection camera mounted on a second mounting bracket; the position detection component includes a photoelectric sensor mounted on a third mounting bracket; the defective product rejection component includes a drive cylinder mounted on a fourth mounting bracket and a pusher block disposed at the output end of the drive cylinder; the defective product collection box is disposed opposite to the defective product rejection component on the other side of the tape roll conveyor line.

[0010] Furthermore, the tape roll unloading and turning mechanism includes a turning component for receiving and turning the tape roll and a pushing component for supporting and pushing the tape roll.

[0011] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a fixed frame, a fixed plate mounted on the fixed frame, a flipping motor mounted on the fixed plate, a driving gear driven by the flipping motor, a driven gear meshing with the driving gear, and a T-shaped sleeve connected to the driven gear and having an open slot; the end of the mounting plate away from the flipping motor has a through slot, and a bearing is built into the through slot; the lower end of the T-shaped sleeve passes through the bearing; the lower outer wall of the T-shaped sleeve is symmetrically provided with first guide plates; the fixed frame is symmetrically provided with second guide plates below the first guide plates; the fixed frame is provided with a position sensor whose sensing end faces the open slot area of ​​the T-shaped sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the pushing component includes a pushing motor, a turntable driven by the pushing motor, a connecting rod with one end eccentrically hinged to the turntable, a slide bar connected to the other end of the connecting rod, a slide block that slides with the slide bar, and a pushing block disposed at the distal end of the slide bar.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding limiting mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged limiting components, which together form a limiting channel; each limiting component includes a fixed base, an adjusting plate, an adjusting rod connecting the fixed base and the adjusting plate, a limiting baffle disposed at the front end of the adjusting plate, and an adjusting wheel disposed at the rear end of the adjusting plate; a flexible body extending into the limiting channel is provided on the upper part of the limiting baffle.

[0014] Furthermore, the tape roll stacking mechanism includes a module mounting frame, a linear transverse module mounted on the module mounting frame, a first telescopic cylinder driven by the linear transverse module to move horizontally, and a stacking pusher block mounted at the output end of the first telescopic cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the synchronous pushing mechanism includes a second telescopic cylinder, a pushing body disposed at the output end of the second telescopic cylinder, a positioning block disposed on the side of the pushing body, a third telescopic cylinder, and a side stop block disposed at the output end of the third telescopic cylinder.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the technical solution of this patent achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By highly integrating the tape roll conveyor line, detection mechanism, unloading and flipping mechanism, unloading limiting mechanism, stacking mechanism, synchronous pushing mechanism, and roll film sealing mechanism into one unit, a complete fully automated packaging production line has been constructed. This fundamentally solves the core technical problems of low efficiency, high labor costs, poor process connection, and difficulty in ensuring packaging consistency caused by traditional segmented or manual operations.

[0018] 2. The anti-accumulation outlet design in the tape roll conveyor line effectively prevents tape rolls from clogging at the conveyor junctions, ensuring the continuity and stability of material flow. The arc-shaped unloading track at the end cleverly and reliably completes the automated transformation of the tape roll from a flat to an upright position using gravity and the track shape, providing a foundation for subsequent processes.

[0019] 3. The tape roll inspection mechanism achieves automated, high-precision online detection of label "curling edges" and "missing labels," replacing unreliable manual visual inspection. Combined with an automatic rejection component, it forms a "detection-rejection" closed loop, ensuring that only qualified products enter the process, greatly improving the quality of outgoing products.

[0020] 4. The tape roll unloading and turning mechanism creatively integrates "conventional vertical unloading" and "selective directional turning" functions into a single workstation. Its turning component achieves precise 180-degree turning via a T-shaped sleeve and gear transmission, while a dual-stage guide plate ensures the stability of the tape roll's posture during turning or free fall. The pushing component employs a crank-connecting rod mechanism, allowing a single pusher block to serve both "support platform" and "horizontal pushing" functions. The mechanism is simple and efficient, achieving flexibility and integration of functions.

[0021] 5. The feeding limit mechanism, with its symmetrical and adjustable limit components, can adapt to tape rolls of different diameters, offering strong versatility. The flexible body on the limit baffle provides effective limiting while fully cushioning the impact of the tape roll falling, preventing product surface damage and equipment vibration, and ensuring the stability of the tape roll in its upright position.

[0022] 6. The tape roll stacking mechanism, through the coordinated action of the linear traverse module and the telescopic cylinder, can accurately and orderly push and gather the dispersed tape rolls into a specified number of groups.

[0023] 7. The synchronous pushing mechanism, through the cooperation of positioning blocks and side stops, ensures the neatness of the stacked tape rolls. Driven by a cylinder, the pusher can synchronously and smoothly push the entire tape roll to the packaging station, avoiding the disorganization of the rolls due to asynchronous pushing and ensuring the reliable continuity of the packaging process.

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 22As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic feeding, stacking, bagging, and heat-sealing equipment for adhesive tape rolls, including a frame. The frame is equipped with an adhesive tape roll conveyor line 1, an adhesive tape roll detection mechanism 2, an adhesive tape roll unloading and flipping mechanism 3, an unloading limit mechanism 4, an adhesive tape roll stacking mechanism 5, a synchronous pushing mechanism 6, and a roll film sealing mechanism 7. All mechanisms are uniformly coordinated and controlled by a central control system. The tape roll conveyor line 1 is used to transport individual tape rolls in an orderly manner; the tape roll detection mechanism 2 is set on the side of the tape roll conveyor line 1 to detect the affixing status of the labels on the tape rolls and reject defective products; the tape roll unloading and flipping mechanism 3 is used to receive the tape rolls output from the tape roll conveyor line 1, turn the flat tape rolls into an upright state, and oriented and flip the label side of the tape rolls as needed; the unloading limiting mechanism 4 is used to form a limiting channel for the upright tape rolls; the tape roll stacking mechanism 5 is used to stack multiple tape rolls into a group and transport them along the limiting channel; the synchronous pushing mechanism 6 is used to synchronously push the entire group of tape rolls to the roll film sealing area; and the roll film sealing mechanism 7 is used to roll film seal the entire group of tape rolls. This invention constructs a complete automated production line by integrating the tape roll conveyor line 1, tape roll detection mechanism 2, tape roll unloading and flipping mechanism 3, unloading limiting mechanism 4, tape roll stacking mechanism 5, synchronous pushing mechanism 6, and roll film sealing mechanism 7, all set on the equipment frame. This technology fundamentally solves the technical problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, poor process coordination, and poor packaging consistency caused by the reliance on manual labor or segmented equipment in traditional tape roll packaging. It achieves full automation of the entire process, from single roll conveying, quality inspection, posture conversion and orientation, orderly limiting, automatic stacking, and transfer of the entire group to the final heat-sealing bag, greatly improving production efficiency and packaging quality.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the tape roll conveyor line 1 includes a tape roll input line 11 and a tape roll output line 12 connected to each other. An anti-stacking output port 121 is provided at the connection between the tape roll output line 12 and the tape roll input line 11. An arc-shaped unloading track 122 is provided at the end of the tape roll output line 12 to change the tape roll from a flat position to an upright position. The anti-stacking output port 121 solves the potential blockage problem that may occur when the tape roll is transferred from the tape roll input line 11 to the tape roll output line 12, ensuring the continuity of material flow. The arc-shaped unloading track 122 cleverly utilizes gravity and the shape of the track to smoothly and reliably change the flat-conveyed tape roll to an upright position, providing the correct material posture for subsequent stacking and packaging processes.

[0050] like Figures 4 to 7As shown, the tape roll inspection mechanism 2 includes a horizontal height detection component 21, a label surface inspection component 22, a position detection component 23, a defective product rejection component 24, and a defective product collection box 25. The horizontal height detection component 21 includes a laser displacement sensor 212 mounted on a first mounting bracket 211; the label surface inspection component 22 includes a visual inspection camera 222 mounted on a second mounting bracket 221; the position detection component 23 includes a photoelectric sensor 232 mounted on a third mounting bracket 231; the defective product rejection component 24 includes a drive cylinder 242 mounted on a fourth mounting bracket 241 and a pusher block 243 disposed at the output end of the drive cylinder 242; the defective product collection box 25 is disposed opposite to the defective product rejection component 24 on the other side of the tape roll conveyor line 1. By integrating the horizontal height detection component 21 and the label surface detection component 22, and utilizing the laser displacement sensor 212 and the vision inspection camera 222 respectively, automated online detection of two key defects—label "edge curling" and "missing labels"—is achieved, solving the problems of low efficiency, fatigue, and high missed detection rate of manual visual inspection. The photoelectric sensor 232 ensures the accuracy of the detection action trigger. The drive cylinder 242 of the defective product rejection component 24, together with the pusher 243 and the defective product collection box 25, forms a closed loop, automatically and instantly rejecting identified defective products from the production line, ensuring that only qualified products flow into subsequent processes, thus improving the overall quality and consistency of the final product.

[0051] The workflow of the tape roll inspection mechanism is as follows: The laser displacement sensor 212 of the horizontal height detection component 21 emits a beam to scan the surface of the label on the tape roll. If the label is curled up, the beam is blocked, and the signal change indicates a defect. The vision inspection camera 222 of the label surface detection component 22, triggered by the photoelectric sensor 232 of the position detection component 23, takes a picture of the surface of the tape roll and determines whether a label is affixed through image recognition. If any defect is detected, when the tape roll reaches the defective product rejection component 24, the drive cylinder 242 quickly moves, pushing the pusher block 243 to push it laterally off the conveyor line and into the defective product collection box 25 on the opposite side. Qualified products continue to move forward undisturbed.

[0052] like Figures 8 to 15 As shown, the tape roll unloading and turning mechanism 3 includes a turning component 31 for receiving and turning the tape roll, and a pushing component 32 for supporting and pushing the tape roll. It is clear that the tape roll unloading and turning mechanism 3 is composed of the turning component 31 and the pushing component 32 working together. This structural design solves a core problem: how to achieve simple vertical unloading of most tape rolls at the same workstation, and how to orient the label side of specific tape rolls, such as the last one in each group. This ensures both the efficiency of the basic process and meets the process requirements of specific packaging (such as labels facing outwards), enhancing the applicability of the equipment.

[0053] The flipping assembly 31 includes a fixed frame 311, a fixed plate 312 mounted on the fixed frame 311, a flipping motor 313 mounted on the fixed plate 312, a driving gear 314 driven by the flipping motor 313, a driven gear 315 meshing with the driving gear 314, and a T-shaped sleeve 316 connected to the driven gear 315 and having an opening slot 3111. The end of the mounting plate 312 away from the flipping motor 313 has a through slot, and a bearing 320 is built into the through slot. The lower end of the T-shaped sleeve 316 passes through the bearing 320. The outer wall of the lower end of the T-shaped sleeve 316 is symmetrically provided with first guide plates 317. The fixed frame 311 is symmetrically provided with second guide plates 318 below the first guide plates 317. The fixed frame 311 is provided with a position sensor 319 whose sensing end faces the area of ​​the opening slot 3111 of the T-shaped sleeve 316. A T-shaped sleeve 316 with an opening slot 3111 serves as the core carrier. Combined with a transmission system consisting of a flipping motor 313, a driving gear 314, and a driven gear 315, it enables precise 180-degree flipping of the tape roll supported within it. Symmetrically arranged first guide plates 317 and second guide plates 318 form a two-stage guide track, ensuring that the tape roll maintains an upright posture and lands smoothly during descent, regardless of whether it has been flipped, thus solving the problem of tape roll losing control or tipping over during flipping or descent. A position sensor 319 provides a reliable signal to trigger the flipping action, ensuring the accuracy of the action timing.

[0054] The pushing component 32 includes a pushing motor 321, a turntable 322 driven by the pushing motor 321, a connecting rod 323 with one end eccentrically hinged to the turntable 322, a slide bar 325 connected to the other end of the connecting rod 323, a slide block 324 slidably engaged with the slide bar 325, and a push block 326 disposed at the distal end of the slide bar 325. This component uses the pushing motor 321 to drive the turntable 322, which is then converted into linear reciprocating motion of the slide bar 325 via the connecting rod 323. This drives the push block 326 to perform two key actions: first, to act as a platform to support the tape roll to be flipped; and second, to horizontally push the tape roll that has fallen into place away from the workstation. This design achieves the reuse of two functions (support and push) in a single actuator (push block), simplifying the mechanism, reducing costs, and ensuring the reliability and synchronization of the actions through the mechanical structure.

[0055] The working process of the tape roll unloading and turning mechanism is as follows: For most tape rolls 8 that do not require turning, after sliding out of the arc-shaped unloading track 122, they fall directly into the opening slot 3111 of the T-shaped sleeve 316. Under the action of gravity, they fall vertically and are guided by the first guide plate 317 and the second guide plate 318, and then land smoothly on the horizontal surface below. Subsequently, the push motor 321 of the push assembly 32 starts, which drives the slide bar 325 and the push block 326 forward through the turntable 322 and the connecting rod 323, pushing the tape roll horizontally away from the area directly below the T-shaped sleeve 316, making room for the subsequent unloading of tape rolls 8.

[0056] When a specific roll of tape 8 (such as the last one in each group) needs to be flipped, the control system pre-commands the pusher assembly 32 to move, causing the pusher block 326 to move directly below the opening slot 3111 of the T-shaped sleeve 316 as a support platform. The tape roll 8 is supported after falling, and the position sensor 319 detects a signal. Then, the flipping motor 313 starts, driving the T-shaped sleeve 316 and the tape roll inside it to rotate 180 degrees via the drive gear 314 and driven gear 315. After flipping, the pusher motor 321 reverses, retracting the pusher block 326. The tape roll falls and is guided by the guide plate before being pushed away by the pusher block 326. To achieve the function of stacking a specific number (e.g., ten) of tape rolls into a group, this equipment has a counter (not shown in the figure, such as a photoelectric counter) near the output end of the arc-shaped feeding track 122. This counter counts each qualified tape roll that successfully enters the arc-shaped feeding track 122. When the counter indicates that the roll of tape to be flipped (e.g., the 10th roll in each group) is about to arrive, the control system pre-commands the push component 32 to operate. Simultaneously, when the count reaches a preset number, the counter sends a signal to the control system. The control system then instructs the tape roll stacking mechanism 5 to start, performing a pushing and stacking action on the group of tape rolls currently gathered in the limit channel.

[0057] like Figures 16 to 20As shown, the feeding limiting mechanism 4 includes two symmetrically arranged limiting components 41, which together form a limiting channel. Each limiting component 41 includes a fixed base 411, an adjusting plate 412, an adjusting rod 413 connecting the fixed base 411 and the adjusting plate 412, a limiting baffle 414 located at the front end of the adjusting plate 412, and an adjusting wheel 415 located at the rear end of the adjusting plate 412. A flexible body 416 extending into the limiting channel is provided on the upper part of the limiting baffle 414. Specifically, the adjusting rod 413 passes through the fixed base 411 and is threadedly engaged with the fixed base 411. The front end of the adjusting rod 413 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 412. The flexible body 16 is disposed on the upper part of the limiting baffle 414 through a fixture 417. A part of the flexible body 16 is disposed inside the fixture 417, and the other part extends out of the fixture 417 and into the limiting channel. The fixture 417 and the limiting baffle 414 are detachably connected. The soft body 416, as a flexible cushioning material, effectively absorbs and disperses impact energy when the tape roll (especially its edges) comes into contact with or collides with the limiting baffle 414. This greatly reduces or even avoids damage such as indentations and scratches on the tape roll surface caused by rigid impacts, providing reliable surface protection while achieving the limiting function. The soft body 416 can be a sponge made of sponge material. Two symmetrical limiting components 41 form an adjustable-width limiting channel, solving the problem of universal limiting for tape rolls of different diameters. By rotating the adjusting wheel 415 to drive the adjusting rod 413, the adjusting plate 412 and the limiting baffle 414 can be moved synchronously, realizing convenient adjustment of the channel width.

[0058] like Figures 16 to 17 , Figure 20 As shown, the tape roll stacking mechanism 5 includes a module mounting frame 51, a linear traverse module 52 mounted on the module mounting frame 51, a first telescopic cylinder 53 driven horizontally by the linear traverse module 52, and a stacking pusher 54 located at the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 53. The linear traverse module 52 provides a large-stroke, high-precision horizontal drive, while the first telescopic cylinder 53 provides telescopic power perpendicular to the conveying direction. The two work together to drive the stacking pusher 54. This structure solves the problem of orderly pushing, gathering, and stacking dispersed individual tape rolls into a specified number of groups. It ensures that each group of tape rolls is neatly arranged, laying a solid foundation for subsequent encapsulation.

[0059] like Figures 16 to 17 , Figure 22As shown, the synchronous pushing mechanism 6 includes a second telescopic cylinder 61, a pushing body 62 disposed at the output end of the second telescopic cylinder 61, a positioning block 63 disposed on the side of the pushing body 62, a third telescopic cylinder 64, and a side stop block 65 disposed at the output end of the third telescopic cylinder 64. The positioning block 63 is movably disposed on the side of the pushing body 62, and its position can be flexibly adjusted according to the total number of rolls, for longitudinal positioning of the entire roll of tape. The side stop block 65 is driven by the third telescopic cylinder 64, and together with the positioning block 63, it constrains the assembled rolls of tape, ensuring the stability of the assembly. The second telescopic cylinder 61 drives the pushing body 62 to smoothly and synchronously push the entire roll of tape as a whole to the packaging station, ensuring the reliable execution of the packaging action.

[0060] The workflow of the tape roll stacking mechanism, synchronous pushing mechanism, and roll film packaging mechanism is as follows: The linear lateral movement module 52 of the tape roll stacking mechanism 5 first drives the first telescopic cylinder 53 to move to the rear of the tape roll group. Subsequently, the first telescopic cylinder 53 extends, causing the stacking pusher 54 to enter the limiting channel. Next, the linear lateral movement module 52 drives the stacking pusher 54 to move forward, pushing the entire tape roll group in the channel forward away from the limiting channel of the unloading limiting mechanism 4 and into the working area of ​​the synchronous pushing mechanism 6. During the forward movement of the pushed tape roll group, its front end finally abuts against the positioning block 63 of the synchronous pushing mechanism 6. Under the stopping action of the positioning block 63, the forward-moving tape rolls are gathered and aligned, thereby completing the stacking and forming a neat group. After the entire group of tape rolls is neatly stacked at the positioning block 63, the third telescopic cylinder 64 of the synchronous pushing mechanism 6 drives the side stop block 65 to extend. The extended side stop 65 cooperates with the positioning block 63 from the side to constrain the grouped tape rolls, preventing them from loosening and preparing them for the next push. The extension of this side stop 65 also blocks tape rolls belonging to the next group within the rear limiting channel, achieving inter-group isolation. Once the grouped tape rolls are stably constrained, the second telescopic cylinder 61 of the synchronous pushing mechanism 6 actuates, driving its front-end pushing body 62 forward. The pushing body 62 smoothly and synchronously pushes the entire group of tape rolls as a whole to the working area of ​​the film packaging mechanism 7. After receiving the entire group of tape rolls, the film packaging mechanism 7 automatically completes processes such as film application, heat sealing, and heat shrinking, outputting the finished product. It should be noted that the film packaging mechanism 7 is existing technology, and its structure will not be further described in this article.

[0061] The entire workflow of this equipment is briefly described as follows: Individual tape rolls are conveyed in an orderly manner via conveyor line 1, and defective products are inspected and rejected online by inspection mechanism 2. Qualified products are turned into an upright state via the arc-shaped unloading track 122 and then enter the unloading and flipping mechanism 3, where they are oriented and flipped or directly unloaded as needed. The upright tape rolls fall into the channel of the unloading limit mechanism 4 and are buffered and arranged. When the unloaded quantity reaches a certain number, the tape roll stacking mechanism 5 is activated, pushing the group of tape rolls in the channel away and against the positioning block 63 of the synchronous pushing mechanism 6 to complete the aggregation and stacking; then the side stop block 65 extends to constrain and isolate the groups; finally, the pushing body 62 of the synchronous pushing mechanism 6 synchronously pushes the entire group of tape rolls to the roll film sealing mechanism 7 for sealing. The entire process is coordinated by the control system to achieve fully automatic continuous production.
