AI Technical Summary
Existing carrier tape forward and reverse detection mechanisms are prone to carrier tape damage, cannot be adapted to multiple carrier tape specifications, have poor equipment compatibility, poor recognition stability, high cost, and are easily affected by environmental factors.
A flexible contact detection component is adopted, which uses elastic components and proximity switches to detect the forward and reverse directions of the carrier belt. By engaging and disengaging the active sprocket and the auxiliary ratchet, combined with encoder signal calibration, flexible positioning and synchronous conveying of the carrier belt are achieved.
It avoids compression damage to the carrier belt, is compatible with various carrier belt specifications, reduces equipment costs, improves recognition stability and equipment compatibility, and reduces the impact of environmental factors.
