Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline packaging, and more specifically, relates to a pipeline tape wrapping device and method. Background Technology

[0002] In pipeline packaging, tape wrapping machines are typically used to automate the wrapping process. The equipment drives the pipeline to rotate or the tape mechanism to move, achieving uniform and dense wrapping of the tape on the pipeline to meet the requirements of industrial production for consistent and reliable pipeline packaging.

[0003] Existing tape wrapping machines suffer from the following drawbacks: Most tape wrapping machines are designed only for straight, unbranched pipelines, and their winding paths and tension control mechanisms are adapted to a single cylindrical structure. However, in practical applications, pipelines often require branch pipes to form irregular joint structures such as T-shaped or Y-shaped joints with the main pipe. When the tape wrapping machine wraps such pipelines with branch pipes, the tape cannot naturally conform to the curved contour of the joint area due to stepped protrusions or structural abrupt changes at the joint, easily resulting in problems such as localized tape suspension and edge curling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipeline tape wrapping device and method, which aims to solve the problem that when the tape wrapping machine wraps the pipeline, the tape at the branch pipe position cannot naturally conform to the curved contour of the joint area, and the tape is prone to local suspension and edge lifting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, a pipe tape wrapping device is provided, comprising: frame; The pipeline clamping assembly includes a fixed clamping mechanism fixedly connected to the frame and a movable clamping mechanism slidably connected to the frame; A tape wrapping assembly is slidably connected to the frame; the tape wrapping assembly is disposed between the fixed clamping mechanism and the movable clamping mechanism; the tape wrapping assembly has a circular hole for the pipeline to pass through; when wrapping tape around the pipeline, one end of the pipeline is clamped by the fixed clamping mechanism, and the other end passes through the circular hole and is clamped by the movable clamping mechanism. A displacement sensor, disposed at the tape winding assembly, is configured to detect and output real-time position information of the tape winding assembly; and The controller is communicatively connected to the displacement sensor; the controller is configured to: Receive the branch pipe location coordinates input by the user; Receive the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly; The travel speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly are adjusted based on the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the tape wrapping assembly includes: The traveling mechanism is slidably connected to the frame; and A winding mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the traveling mechanism; the winding mechanism has a circular hole for the pipeline to pass through.

[0007] In one possible implementation, guide rails and racks are arranged in parallel on the frame; The walking mechanism includes a base, a drive unit, and a gear. The base is slidably engaged with the guide rail, and the drive unit is fixedly connected to the base. The gear is rotatably connected to the base and meshes with the rack. The drive unit is fixedly connected to the gear.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the movable clamping mechanism slides with the guide rail; the movable clamping mechanism has a pawl unit that engages with the rack.

[0009] In one possible implementation, adjusting the walking speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly based on the branch pipe position coordinate information and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly includes: Calculate the deviation between the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly; If the absolute value of the deviation is not lower than the deviation threshold, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a first traveling speed and to wind tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed; otherwise, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a second traveling speed and to wind tape around the pipeline at the second winding speed.

[0010] In one possible implementation, adjusting the walking speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly based on the branch pipe position coordinate information and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly further includes: The sign of the deviation is determined. If the deviation is positive, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a first traveling speed and to wind tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed. Otherwise, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a third traveling speed for a preset time and then to wind tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the first walking speed is greater than the second walking speed, the first winding speed is greater than the second winding speed, and the third walking speed is in the opposite direction to the first walking speed.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the pipe tape wrapping device provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the pipe tape wrapping device of this invention provides stable support for the overall structure through the frame, ensuring that the components maintain stable relative positions during operation, and providing a reliable foundation for subsequent pipe clamping and tape wrapping. The pipe clamping assembly includes a fixed clamping mechanism and a movable clamping mechanism. The fixed clamping mechanism is fixedly connected to the frame and can form a stable clamp on one end of the pipe. The movable clamping mechanism is slidably connected to the frame and can adjust its position according to the actual length of the pipe, thereby effectively fixing the other end of the pipe. This double-end clamping method can prevent the pipe from shaking or shifting during the wrapping process, ensuring that the pipe is always in the preset working position.

[0013] The tape winding assembly is slidably connected to the frame and located between two clamping mechanisms. It has a circular hole for the pipeline to pass through. When the pipeline is clamped at both ends, the tape winding assembly can slide along the frame and complete the winding operation around the pipeline. The circular hole design ensures that the pipeline remains coaxial during winding, preventing tape misalignment. A displacement sensor is located at the tape winding assembly, which can detect and output the position information of the tape winding assembly in real time, providing accurate data for subsequent speed adjustments and allowing the controller to accurately grasp the real-time operating status of the tape winding assembly.

[0014] The controller communicates with the displacement sensor, receiving user-inputted branch pipe coordinates to pinpoint the branch's exact location. It also receives real-time position information from the sensor. By comparing the branch pipe coordinates with the real-time position data, the controller precisely adjusts the travel and winding speeds of the tape winding assembly. When the tape winding assembly approaches the branch pipe, the controller appropriately reduces the travel and winding speeds to ensure better tape adhesion to the joint area between the branch and main pipes, preventing the tape from becoming suspended or lifting at the joint due to excessive speed. When moving away from the branch pipe, the controller increases the speed to maintain overall work efficiency. This effectively addresses the issue of poor tape adhesion at the branch pipe location while improving the overall quality of the pipeline winding.

[0015] In a second aspect, a method for wrapping pipes with tape is provided, applied to the pipe tape wrapping apparatus as described in the first aspect, comprising: Receive the branch pipe location coordinates input by the user; Receive real-time position information of the tape winding assembly; The travel speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly are adjusted based on the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly.

[0016] In one possible implementation, adjusting the walking speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly based on the branch pipe position coordinate information and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly includes: Calculate the deviation between the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly; If the absolute value of the deviation is not lower than the deviation threshold, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a first traveling speed and to wind tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed; otherwise, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a second traveling speed and to wind tape around the pipeline at the second winding speed.

[0017] In one possible implementation, adjusting the walking speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly based on the branch pipe position coordinate information and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly further includes: The sign of the deviation is determined. If the deviation is positive, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a first traveling speed and to wind tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed. Otherwise, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a third traveling speed for a preset time and then to wind tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the pipeline tape wrapping method provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this invention's pipeline tape wrapping method first receives the branch pipe location coordinate information input by the user, accurately obtaining the specific location of the pipeline branch pipe, providing a clear target basis for subsequent adjustment of the tape wrapping assembly's operating status. Simultaneously, the method also receives the real-time location information of the tape wrapping assembly, allowing real-time monitoring of the assembly's specific position during operation, enabling the controller to clearly understand the assembly's current operating progress and its relative position to the branch pipe.

[0019] Based on the obtained branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly, this method can specifically adjust the walking speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly. As the tape winding assembly gradually approaches the branch pipe, by reducing the walking speed and winding speed, the tape has more time to conform to the curved contour of the joint area when passing the joint between the branch pipe and the main pipe. This avoids the tape being unable to adapt to the structural change at the joint due to excessive speed, thereby reducing the situation of tape being partially suspended or having edges curled up.

[0020] When the tape wrapping assembly is far from the branch pipe and located in the straight section of the pipeline, this method can increase both the walking and wrapping speeds. While ensuring tape wrapping quality, it effectively improves overall work efficiency, meeting the demands of industrial production for pipeline packaging efficiency. This method of dynamically adjusting speed based on location information solves the adhesion problem when wrapping pipelines with branch pipes, while also considering work efficiency, allowing pipeline wrapping operations to achieve ideal results in both quality and efficiency.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The pipeline tape wrapping device and method provided by the present invention will now be described.

[0032] In a first aspect, a pipe tape wrapping device is provided, including a frame 1, a pipe clamping assembly 2, a tape wrapping assembly 3, a displacement sensor, and a controller.

[0033] The pipeline clamping assembly 2 includes a fixed clamping mechanism 21 fixedly connected to the frame 1 and a movable clamping mechanism 22 slidably connected to the frame 1. The tape wrapping assembly 3 is slidably connected to the frame 1; the tape wrapping assembly 3 is disposed between the fixed clamping mechanism 21 and the movable clamping mechanism 22; the tape wrapping assembly 3 has a circular hole for the pipeline to pass through; when wrapping tape around the pipeline, one end of the pipeline is clamped by the fixed clamping mechanism 21, and the other end passes through the circular hole and is clamped by the movable clamping mechanism 22.

[0034] A displacement sensor is installed at the tape winding assembly 3 and configured to detect and output the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly 3. The controller is communicatively connected to the displacement sensor and configured as follows: Receive the branch pipe location coordinates input by the user; Receive real-time position information of tape winding assembly 3; The travel speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly 3 are adjusted based on the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly 3.

[0035] When the pipeline tape wrapping device is working, the pipeline to be wrapped with tape is first fixed. One end of the pipeline is directly clamped by the fixed clamping mechanism 21 on the frame 1, and the other end passes through the circular hole of the tape wrapping assembly 3 and is clamped by the sliding movable clamping mechanism 22, which is also mounted on the frame 1. This achieves stable positioning of the pipeline on the device, with the tape wrapping assembly 3 positioned between the fixed clamping mechanism 21 and the sliding clamping mechanism 22. Subsequently, the displacement sensor located at the tape wrapping assembly 3 starts working, continuously detecting the real-time position of the tape wrapping assembly 3 and outputting relevant information. The controller, which maintains a communication connection with the displacement sensor, receives the pipeline branch position coordinate information pre-input by the user and the real-time position information of the tape wrapping assembly 3 from the displacement sensor. Through analysis and processing of these two types of information, the controller precisely adjusts the traveling speed of the tape wrapping assembly 3 on the frame 1, and simultaneously adjusts its wrapping speed on the pipeline. This ensures that, where there is a branch pipe, the tape can conform to the curved contour of the pipeline to complete the wrapping operation, guaranteeing the overall wrapping effect.

[0036] The beneficial effects of the pipe tape wrapping device provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the pipe tape wrapping device of this invention provides stable support for the overall structure through the frame 1, ensuring that the relative positions of each component remain stable during operation, and providing a reliable foundation for subsequent pipe clamping and tape wrapping. The pipe clamping component 2 includes a fixed clamping mechanism 21 and a movable clamping mechanism 22. The fixed clamping mechanism 21 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and can form a stable clamp on one end of the pipe. The movable clamping mechanism 22 is slidably connected to the frame 1 and can adjust its position according to the actual length of the pipe, thereby effectively fixing the other end of the pipe. This double-end clamping method can prevent the pipe from shaking or shifting during the wrapping process, ensuring that the pipe is always in the preset working position.

[0037] The tape winding assembly 3 is slidably connected to the frame 1 and located between the two clamping mechanisms. It has a circular hole for the pipeline to pass through. When the pipeline is clamped at both ends, the tape winding assembly 3 can slide along the frame 1 and complete the winding operation around the pipeline. The circular hole design ensures that the pipeline maintains coaxiality during the winding process, preventing tape deviation. A displacement sensor is installed at the tape winding assembly 3, which can detect and output the position information of the tape winding assembly 3 in real time, providing accurate data for subsequent speed adjustment and allowing the controller to accurately grasp the real-time operating status of the tape winding assembly 3.

[0038] The controller communicates with the displacement sensor, receiving user-inputted branch pipe coordinates to pinpoint the branch's exact location. It also receives real-time position information from the sensor. By comparing the branch pipe coordinates with the real-time position data, the controller precisely adjusts the travel and winding speeds of the tape winding assembly 3. When the tape winding assembly 3 approaches the branch pipe, the controller appropriately reduces the travel and winding speeds to ensure better tape adhesion to the joint area between the branch and main pipes, preventing the tape from becoming suspended or lifting at the joint due to excessive speed. When moving away from the branch pipe, the controller increases the speed to maintain overall work efficiency. This effectively addresses the issue of poor tape adhesion at the branch pipe location while improving overall pipeline winding quality.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the tape winding assembly 3 includes a traveling mechanism 31 and a winding mechanism 32.

[0040] The traveling mechanism 31 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The winding mechanism 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the traveling mechanism 31; the winding mechanism 32 has a circular hole for the pipeline to pass through.

[0041] During the process of wrapping tape around the pipeline, the traveling mechanism 31 begins to move along the pipeline, while the winding mechanism 32 drives the tape to rotate around the pipeline. With the cooperation of the traveling mechanism 31 and the winding mechanism 32, the tape is wound along the axial direction of the pipeline.

[0042] In one possible implementation, a guide rail 11 and a rack 12 are arranged in parallel on the frame 1; The walking mechanism 31 includes a base 311, a drive unit 312, and a gear 313. The base 311 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 11, and the drive unit 312 is fixedly connected to the base 311. The gear 313 is rotatably connected to the base 311 and meshes with the rack 12. The drive unit 312 is fixedly connected to the gear 313.

[0043] Two guide rails 11 are arranged in parallel, and a rack 12 is positioned between the two guide rails 11 and is parallel to the guide rails 11. A sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the base 311, through which the base 311 slides in engagement with the guide rails 11. The drive unit 312 is specifically a motor, and the power output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the gear 313. When the traveling mechanism 31 moves, the drive unit 312 drives the gear 313 to rotate, thereby driving the traveling mechanism 31 and the winding mechanism 32 to move together along the axis of the pipeline.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the movable clamping mechanism slides with the guide rail 11; the movable clamping mechanism has a pawl unit that meshes with the rack 12.

[0045] The operator adjusts the position of the movable clamping mechanism according to the length of the pipeline. When adjusting the position, the pawl unit is first engaged with the rack 12, and then the movable clamping mechanism is moved along the guide rail 11 to the designated position. Once the movable clamping mechanism is in place, the pawl unit is engaged with the rack 12 to lock the position of the movable clamping mechanism.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the traveling speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly 3 are adjusted based on the branch pipe position coordinate information and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly 3, including: Calculate the deviation between the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly 3; Determine whether the absolute value of the deviation is lower than the deviation threshold. If the absolute value of the deviation is not lower than the deviation threshold, control the tape winding component 3 to travel at the first traveling speed and wrap the tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed; otherwise, control the tape winding component 3 to travel at the second traveling speed and wrap the tape around the pipeline at the second winding speed.

[0047] In one possible implementation, adjusting the traveling speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly 3 based on the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly 3 further includes: The deviation is determined. If the deviation is positive, the tape winding assembly 3 is controlled to travel at the first traveling speed and the tape is wound around the pipeline at the first winding speed. Otherwise, the tape winding assembly 3 is controlled to travel at the third traveling speed for a preset time and then the tape is wound around the pipeline at the first winding speed.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the first walking speed is greater than the second walking speed, the first winding speed is greater than the second winding speed, and the third walking speed is in the opposite direction to the first walking speed.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the first walking speed, the second walking speed, the third walking speed, the first winding speed, the second winding speed, and the preset time are all pre-stored in a memory. The memory is communicatively connected to the controller, which can retrieve the aforementioned data from the memory.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the controller has an embedded storage unit in which the first walking speed, the second walking speed, the third walking speed, the first winding speed, the second winding speed, and the preset time are all pre-stored. The controller can retrieve the above data from the storage unit.

[0051] The coordinated design of the overall structure provides a stable and reliable foundation for pipeline winding operations. The double-end clamping structure can adapt to pipelines of different lengths, ensuring a firm fixation of the pipeline and preventing shaking or displacement during winding, thus ensuring that the pipeline remains in the preset working position. The positioning and circular hole design of the tape winding component 3 ensures smooth movement of the component along the pipeline axis while maintaining the coaxiality of the pipeline and the winding mechanism 32, preventing tape misalignment during winding.

[0052] The communication between the displacement sensor and the controller enables precise monitoring and dynamic control of the real-time position of the winding assembly. By receiving and analyzing relevant position information, the controller can flexibly adjust the traveling speed and winding speed of the winding assembly, ensuring that the tape achieves the ideal winding effect in different areas of the pipeline. The parallel arrangement of the guide rail 11 and rack 12 on the frame 1, together with the base 311, drive unit 312, and gear 313 of the traveling mechanism 31, constructs a stable and efficient transmission system, ensuring smooth and precise movement of the winding assembly and deviation-free power transmission.

[0053] The sliding engagement between the movable clamping mechanism and the guide rail 11, combined with the meshing design of the pawl unit and the rack 12, not only facilitates flexible adjustment of the clamping position according to the pipeline length but also ensures reliable fixation after adjustment, further enhancing the adaptability and operational stability of the device. The speed adjustment mechanism, through precise calculation of positional deviation and combined with threshold and positive / negative judgment, achieves intelligent switching between different speed modes. This ensures operational efficiency when far from special areas and allows the tape to fully conform to the pipeline's curved contour by slowing down in critical areas, effectively preventing localized suspension or edge lifting. The reverse speed design further improves the accuracy of position adjustment, ensuring that the winding assembly accurately aligns with the work area, thus improving the overall consistency and reliability of pipeline winding.

[0054] In a second aspect, a method for wrapping pipes with tape is provided, applied to the pipe tape wrapping apparatus as described in the first aspect, comprising: S100. Receive the branch pipe location coordinate information input by the user.

[0055] S200. Receive real-time position information of the tape winding assembly.

[0056] S300. Adjust the traveling speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly based on the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly.

[0057] In one possible implementation, step S300, adjusting the traveling speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly based on the branch pipe position coordinate information and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly, includes: Calculate the deviation between the branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly; Determine whether the absolute value of the deviation is lower than the deviation threshold. If the absolute value of the deviation is not lower than the deviation threshold, control the tape winding assembly to travel at the first traveling speed and wrap the tape around the pipeline at the first winding speed; otherwise, control the tape winding assembly to travel at the second traveling speed and wrap the tape around the pipeline at the second winding speed.

[0058] In one possible implementation, step S300, adjusting the walking speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly based on the branch pipe position coordinate information and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly, further includes: The system determines whether the deviation is positive or negative. If the deviation is positive, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a first traveling speed and the tape is wound around the pipeline at the first winding speed. Otherwise, the tape winding assembly is controlled to travel at a third traveling speed for a preset time and then the tape is wound around the pipeline at the first winding speed.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the pipeline tape wrapping method provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this invention's pipeline tape wrapping method first receives the branch pipe location coordinate information input by the user, accurately obtaining the specific location of the pipeline branch pipe, providing a clear target basis for subsequent adjustment of the tape wrapping assembly's operating status. Simultaneously, the method also receives the real-time location information of the tape wrapping assembly, allowing real-time monitoring of the assembly's specific position during operation, enabling the controller to clearly understand the assembly's current operating progress and its relative position to the branch pipe.

[0060] Based on the obtained branch pipe position coordinates and the real-time position information of the tape winding assembly, this method can specifically adjust the walking speed and winding speed of the tape winding assembly. As the tape winding assembly gradually approaches the branch pipe, by reducing the walking speed and winding speed, the tape has more time to conform to the curved contour of the joint area when passing the joint between the branch pipe and the main pipe. This avoids the tape being unable to adapt to the structural change at the joint due to excessive speed, thereby reducing the situation of tape being partially suspended or having edges curled up.

[0061] When the tape wrapping assembly is far from the branch pipe and located in the straight section of the pipeline, this method can increase both the walking and wrapping speeds. While ensuring tape wrapping quality, it effectively improves overall work efficiency, meeting the demands of industrial production for pipeline packaging efficiency. This method of dynamically adjusting speed based on location information solves the adhesion problem when wrapping pipelines with branch pipes, while also considering work efficiency, allowing pipeline wrapping operations to achieve ideal results in both quality and efficiency.
