Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of winding devices, and in particular to a tape attaching device and a winding reel processing device. Background Technology

[0002] A winding machine is a device used to wind silk threads onto a spool (thread reel). After the silk threads on a spool are fully wound and knotted, tape needs to be pasted on the outside of the thread ends of the full spool to prevent the silk threads from loosening during the packaging and transportation process.

[0003] As shown in the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN219792037U, the prior art provides a winding reel processing device, including a winding reel moving robot with a tape attaching mechanism next to it. The tape attaching mechanism includes a tape unwinding machine, an anti-sticking block, a tape pulling mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and an adsorption tape attaching mechanism. The anti-sticking block is used to ensure that the pulled-out tape is laid flat on its top surface. The tape pulling mechanism is used to clamp the tape and stretch it outward by a predetermined length. The adsorption tape attaching mechanism is used to adsorb the tape between the tape pulling mechanism and the anti-sticking block and flip the tape at a predetermined angle. The cutting mechanism is used to cut the tape between the tape pulling mechanism and the anti-sticking block, with the cutting position close to the anti-sticking block. This device does not require knowledge of the exact position of the wire end on the winding reel and can effectively achieve automatic fixing of the wire end on the winding reel. However, in the aforementioned device, the adhesive side of the tape is set downwards during the tape pulling and cutting process. Therefore, after the tape is adsorbed, it is necessary to flip the tape so that the adhesive side is facing upwards. This increases the number of process steps and reduces work efficiency. Furthermore, in actual operation, if the tape pulling claws do not effectively release the tape, the excessively long tape at the bottom can easily stick to other mechanisms and cause interference during the flipping process of the vacuum adsorption plate. In addition, since the adhesive side of the tape is mainly set downwards throughout the entire processing, the adhesive side of the tape can easily touch and stick to any mechanism within its movement range during transportation, causing subsequent processes to be unable to proceed normally. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a tape attaching device and a winding reel processing device.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A tape application device includes a worktable, on which a tape unwinder, a positioning mechanism, a tape pulling mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and an adsorption tape application mechanism are arranged. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning platform, a pressing positioning block that is vertically mounted on top of the positioning platform, and a positioning roller between the tape unwinder and the tape unwinder. The tape unwinder is located at a first end of the positioning mechanism. The positioning platform and the positioning roller are both higher than the tape unwinder, and the tape pulled from the tape unwinder passes through the positioning roller and extends between the pressing positioning block and the positioning platform. The tape pulling mechanism is reciprocatingly and translatably located at a second end of the positioning platform, and its direction of movement is perpendicular to the axis of the tape unwinder. The cutting mechanism includes a cutting blade with its cutting edge facing upwards, which is vertically mounted between the tape pulling mechanism and the positioning platform. The adsorption tape application mechanism is located on the movement path of the tape pulling mechanism and includes a vertically mounted vacuum suction cup with its adsorption surface facing upwards.

[0007] Preferably, a photoelectric sensor is also provided at the bottom of the positioning roller, and the height of the photoelectric sensor is located between the axis of the positioning roller and the tape unwinding machine.

[0008] Preferably, a first lifting cylinder is provided on one side of the positioning platform, and the pressing positioning block is driven by the first lifting cylinder to reciprocate up and down on the top of the positioning platform. The pressing positioning block extends beyond the second end of the positioning platform, and the portion of the pressing positioning block extending beyond the positioning platform is provided with a guide clearance groove for avoiding the cutting blade. The clearance groove is arranged vertically opposite to the cutting blade.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the pressing positioning block is further provided with an anti-sticking plate, which is arranged vertically opposite to the positioning platform.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-stick plate is provided with a limiting guide block, and the limiting guide block includes at least a limiting part that is vertically downwardly arranged along the side of the anti-stick plate.

[0011] Preferably, the lower surface of the pressing positioning block is provided with an anti-stick coating.

[0012] Preferably, the adhesive-pulling mechanism includes a guide rail disposed on one side of the positioning platform and a slide table that reciprocates along the guide rail. The slide table is provided with adhesive-pulling claws, which include a first clamping block and a second clamping block connected to the slide table. The first clamping block is L-shaped and includes a positioning section that is vertically fixed on the slider and a clamping section that is parallel to the positioning platform and maintains a height gap with the positioning platform. The second clamping block is driven by a second lifting cylinder and is vertically and flexibly disposed at the bottom of the clamping section of the first clamping block.

[0013] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting positioning block that is vertically mounted on the bottom of the positioning platform and driven by a third lifting cylinder. The cutting positioning block extends beyond the second end of the positioning platform and a cutting blade is vertically mounted on the second end of the cutting positioning block.

[0014] The winding spool processing apparatus includes the tape application device described above.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are mainly reflected in:

[0016] 1. The back of the tape pulled out from the tape unwinding machine is always set downwards throughout the entire operation of the device. Therefore, when the tape passes through the tape unwinding machine, positioning mechanism, tape pulling mechanism, cutting mechanism, and adsorption and adhesive application mechanism, the possibility of the tape's adhesive surface sticking to each mechanism is minimized, avoiding processing failure due to tape mis-adhesion. In addition, the adsorption surface of the vacuum suction cup of the adsorption and adhesive application mechanism is set upwards, so the flipping operation of the vacuum suction cup can be omitted. On the one hand, it improves work efficiency, and on the other hand, it also avoids the tape sticking to other structures during rotation.

[0017] 2. The bottom of the pressing positioning block is equipped with an anti-stick plate or anti-stick coating, which can cooperate with the positioning platform to position the tape during the tape pulling process. At the same time, the pressing positioning block extends beyond the second end of the positioning platform, and a guide avoidance groove is provided in this extended part to guide and avoid the cutting blade. This guide avoidance groove can guide the cutting position and cutting direction of the cutting blade, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the pressing positioning block and the cutting blade do not make hard contact when the cutting blade cuts the tape. In addition, since the cutting blade and the guide avoidance groove extend beyond the second end of the positioning platform, it is also convenient for the tape pulling mechanism to pick up the tape later.

[0023] To make the objectives, advantages, and features of this utility model clearer and more detailed, the following non-limiting description of preferred embodiments will be illustrated and explained. These embodiments are merely typical examples of applying the technical solutions of this utility model; any technical solutions formed by equivalent substitutions or equivalent transformations fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0024] It should also be stated that, in the description of the solution, the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of description and simplification, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" in this solution are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying a ranking of importance, or implicitly specifying the number of technical features shown. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] This utility model discloses an adhesive tape application device, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a workbench 1, on which are mounted a tape unwinding machine 2, a positioning mechanism 3, a tape pulling mechanism 4, a cutting mechanism 5, and an adsorption and application mechanism 6. The tape unwinding machine 2 has a roll of tape attached to it, and it rotates to unwind as the tape 8 on the roll is pulled. The tape pulling mechanism 4 pulls the tape 8 from the roll. The positioning mechanism 3 positions the tape 8 between the tape pulling mechanism 4 and the tape unwinding machine 2, preventing displacement of the tape 8 during pulling and fixing it after cutting, thus facilitating quick reloading of the tape 8 by the tape pulling mechanism 4. The cutting mechanism 5 cuts the tape 8 after it has been pulled into position, separating it from the roll. The adsorption and application mechanism 6 adsorbs and fixes the back of the tape 8, facilitating its subsequent application to the knotted areas of the product. After the tape 8 is cut and applied, the adsorption and application mechanism 6 releases the tape 8.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning platform 301, a pressing positioning block 302 that is vertically mounted on the top of the positioning platform 301, and a positioning roller 303 between the tape unwinding machine 2 and the tape unwinding machine 2. The tape unwinding machine 2 is located at the first end of the positioning mechanism 3. The positioning platform 301 and the positioning roller 303 are both higher than the tape unwinding machine 2. The tape 8 pulled out from the tape unwinding machine 2 passes through the positioning roller 303 and extends between the pressing positioning block 302 and the positioning platform 301. The tape 8 is not adhesive and is positioned with its back side facing down. It contacts the surfaces of the positioning roller 303 and the positioning platform 301. The adhesive side of the tape 8 is positioned facing up, which facilitates subsequent pasting at the knot of the product.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 is reciprocatingly translated at the second end of the positioning platform 301, and its moving direction is perpendicular to the axis of the tape unwinding machine 2. By controlling the reciprocating translation of the adhesive pulling mechanism 4, it can be ensured that the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 approaches the positioning platform 301 and clamps the tape 8 located at the second end of the positioning platform 301. Then, the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 is controlled to move away from the positioning platform 301 and the tape 8 is stretched.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the cutting mechanism 5 includes a cutting blade 503 with the cutting edge facing upward. The cutting blade 503 is vertically and vertically disposed between the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 and the positioning platform 301, thereby ensuring that after the cutting blade 503 cuts the tape 8, a portion of the tape 8 remains outside the second end of the positioning platform 301, so that the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 can clamp the tape 8 at the second end of the positioning platform 301 during the next operation.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, the adsorption and adhesive application mechanism 6 is located on the moving path of the adhesive pulling mechanism 4, and includes a liftable vacuum suction cup 601. The adsorption surface of the vacuum suction cup 601 is facing upward. When the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 approaches the positioning platform 301, the cutting blade 503 descends to avoid interference with the adhesive pulling mechanism 4. When the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 pulls the tape 8 into place and the vacuum suction cup 601 adsorbs the back of the tape 8, the cutting blade 503 rises and cuts the tape 8. In addition, since the adsorption and adhesive application mechanism 6 is located on the moving path of the adhesive pulling mechanism 4, the vacuum suction cup 601 is located at the bottom of the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 before the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 moves into place, avoiding interference with the adhesive pulling mechanism 4. After the adhesive pulling mechanism 4 moves into place, the vacuum suction cup 601 rises to the height of the back of the tape 8 and adsorbs the tape 8. Since the adsorption surface of the vacuum suction cup 601 is facing upward, the adhesive surface of the tape 8 on the top of the vacuum suction cup 601 is also facing upward, which facilitates subsequent product adhesion.

[0031] In one embodiment, the adsorption and adhesive application mechanism 6 includes a vacuum suction cup 601 and a linear motion mechanism 602 disposed at the bottom of the vacuum suction cup 601 and driving it to rise and fall. The linear motion mechanism 602 is preferably a cylinder, but it can also be a hydraulic cylinder or a linear motor, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, an L-shaped bracket 9 is provided on the workbench 1, and the tape unwinding machine 2, positioning mechanism 3, tape pulling mechanism 4, cutting mechanism 5 and adsorption and adhesive application mechanism 6 are all fixed on the bracket 9.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a photoelectric sensor 7 is also provided at the bottom of the positioning roller 303. The height of the photoelectric sensor 7 is located between the axis of the positioning roller 303 and the tape unwinding machine 2, and it radiates light toward the tape 8 located at its first end to confirm whether the tape 8 has been pulled out and to monitor the pull-out length of the tape 8.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, a first lifting cylinder 306 is provided on one side of the positioning platform 301, and the pressing positioning block 302 is driven to reciprocate up and down on the top of the positioning platform 301. The pressing positioning block 302 extends beyond the second end of the positioning platform 301, and the portion of the pressing positioning block 302 extending beyond the positioning platform 301 is provided with a guide clearance groove 3021 for avoiding the cutting blade 503. The clearance groove is vertically opposite to the cutting blade 503. In one embodiment, an anti-sticking pressure plate 304 is also provided at the bottom of the pressing positioning block 302, and the anti-sticking pressure plate 304 is vertically opposite to the positioning platform 301.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting guide block 305 is provided on the anti-sticking pressure plate 304. The limiting guide block 305 includes at least a limiting part that is vertically downwardly arranged along the side of the anti-sticking pressure plate 304. When the limiting guide block 305 is provided on the anti-sticking pressure plate 304, the gap between the anti-sticking pressure plate 304 and the positioning platform 301 can be appropriately increased, and the side of the tape 8 can be positioned by the limiting part on the side. The positioning platform 301 is fixed to the bracket 9 on one side. When the pressing positioning block 302 descends and drives the anti-sticking pressure plate 304 to descend, and the tape 8 passes between the anti-sticking pressure plate 304 and the positioning platform 301, the tape 8 is limited by the bracket 9 on the side where the bracket 9 is located, and limited on the other side by the limiting part on one side of the anti-sticking pressure plate 304 provided by the limiting guide block 305. By limiting both sides of the tape 8, the contact between the adhesive surface of the tape 8 and the anti-sticking pressure plate 304 is minimized.

[0036] In some embodiments, the tape 8 is positioned directly by the pressing positioning block 302 working together with the positioning platform 301. At this time, an anti-stick coating is provided on the lower surface of the pressing positioning block 302, and a height gap is maintained between the lower surface of the pressing positioning block 302 and the upper surface of the positioning platform 301, so as to facilitate the passage of the tape 8.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the adhesive-pulling mechanism 4 includes a slide 402 that reciprocates along a guide rail 401 disposed on one side of the positioning platform 301. The slide 402 is driven by a motor or cylinder to reciprocate along the guide rail 401. The slide 402 is equipped with adhesive-pulling grippers, which include a first clamping block 403 and a second clamping block 404 connected to the slide 402. The first clamping block 403 is L-shaped and includes a positioning section vertically fixed to the slide 402, and a clamping section parallel to the positioning platform 301 and maintaining a height gap with the positioning platform 301. The second clamping block 404 is driven by a second lifting cylinder and is vertically mounted at the bottom of the clamping section of the first clamping block 403. When it is necessary to clamp the tape 8, the second lifting cylinder drives the second clamping block 404 to rise until the first clamping block 403 and the second clamping block 404 close, and fixes the end of the tape 8 between them. When it is necessary to release the tape 8, the second lifting cylinder drives the second clamping block 404 to fall, so that the first clamping block 403 and the second clamping block 404 open. In a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the clamping section of the first clamping block 403 is provided with an anti-stick coating to facilitate the subsequent separation of the tape 8 from the tape pulling mechanism 4.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting mechanism 5 includes a cutting positioning block 502 that is vertically and flexibly disposed at the bottom of the positioning platform 301 and driven by a third lifting cylinder 501. The cutting positioning block 502 extends beyond the second end of the positioning platform 301, and a cutting blade 503 is vertically disposed at the second end of the cutting positioning block 502 to ensure that the cutting blade 503 corresponds vertically to the guide clearance hole on the pressing positioning block 302.

[0039] The winding reel processing device includes the tape attaching device as described above. In one embodiment, it further includes a winding reel moving robot, which is positioned next to the workbench 1. The winding reel moving robot moves the twisted and knotted reel to the tape attaching device. After ensuring that the knotted part of the reel corresponds vertically with the tape 8 on the top of the vacuum suction cup 601, it presses the knotted part of the reel onto the adhesive surface of the tape 8, thus completing the adhesion and fixation of the tape 8 on the surface of the reel. Subsequently, the winding reel moving robot conveys the tape-attached reel product for unloading. The winding reel moving robot can refer to the structure disclosed in Chinese Utility Model No. CN219792037U, or it can be any existing robot structure capable of gripping and conveying tape products, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] This utility model has many other embodiments. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
