[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The specific structure is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0039] This embodiment provides a tape feeding mechanism for a tooling circulation line. The tape feeding mechanism includes: a vertical plate 1, a suspension beam 2, a material tray 3, a positioning claw 4, a cutting blade 5, and a pull claw 6. The vertical plate 1 is connected to the suspension beam 2 and is located on one side of the suspension beam 2. The material tray 3, the positioning claw 4, the cutting blade 5, and the pull claw 6 are arranged sequentially on the vertical plate 1 in a transverse direction. The material tray 3 is used to install the tape roll 7, the pull claw 6 is used to pull the tape, the positioning claw 4 is used to clamp and position the tape, and the cutting blade 5 is used to cut the tape.

[0040] In this embodiment, one side of the upright plate 1 is connected to the suspended vertical beam 2, and the other side is arranged horizontally with a material tray 3, a positioning claw 4, a cutting blade 5, and a pull claw 6, so that the material tray 3, positioning claw 4, cutting blade 5, and pull claw 6 are all located on one side, avoiding mutual interference with the suspended vertical beam 2. At the same time, the pull claw 6 can pull the end of the tape to move. The tape roll 7 rotates on the material tray 3 to stretch the tape. When it reaches the preset length, the positioning claw 4 clamps the tape, and then the cutting blade 5 cuts the tape. The clamping and positioning function of the positioning claw 4 can ensure that the cutting blade 5 cuts the tape stably. The overall structure is simple, saves manpower, improves production efficiency, and meets the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0041] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a pair of transversely staggered clamping rods are also included. The pair of transversely staggered clamping rods are disposed on the upright plate 1 and can extend and retract relative to the upright plate 1. The pair of transversely staggered clamping rods are located between the positioning claw 4 and the cutting blade 5 and are used to excessively clamp the tape so that the end of the tape droops. The pull claw 6 includes a pair of clamping plates 8 and a pair of clamps. The pair of clamps are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the pair of clamping plates 8, and the pair of transversely staggered clamping rods can pass through the pair of clamps in the transverse direction.

[0042] In this embodiment, a pair of laterally staggered clamping rods are driven by a cylinder to extend and retract relative to the side of the upright plate 1 facing away from the suspended vertical beam 2. The pair of laterally staggered clamping rods are arranged vertically and are horizontally offset. The tape passes between the pair of laterally staggered clamping rods. After the cutting blade 5 cuts the tape, the pair of laterally staggered clamping rods clamp the end of the tape. Because the pair of laterally staggered clamping rods are horizontally offset and can excessively clamp the tape, the end of the tape is pressed down by the upper clamping rod and positioned below the lower clamping rod, causing the end of the tape to droop. When the pull claw 6 comes to pull the end of the tape again, the pair of laterally staggered clamping rods... The offset clamping rod passes between a pair of clamps and is positioned between a pair of clamping plates 8. At this time, the lower clamp will drive the end of the tape towards the tray 3. When the pair of clamps hold the tape, the end of the tape will be wrapped around the lower clamping rod and adhered to the rear end of the tape. Then, the pair of transverse offset clamping rods retract, and the pull claw 6 pulls the tape. Because the end of the tape is wrapped around the lower clamping rod and adhered to the rear end of the tape, the pair of clamps contact the non-adhesive side of the tape, preventing the tape from sticking to the clamps. At the same time, when the cut tape is pasted on the tooling and photovoltaic modules, it is also convenient to peel off the tape.

[0043] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a positioning claw telescopic cylinder 9 is also included; the upright plate 1 is connected to the suspended vertical beam 2 through a fixed column, and the positioning claw telescopic cylinder 9 is disposed on the side of the upright plate 1 facing the suspended vertical beam 2; the output end of the positioning claw telescopic cylinder 9 is connected to the positioning claw 4, and the positioning claw telescopic cylinder 9 is used to drive the positioning claw 4 to extend and retract relative to the upright plate 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the positioning claw 4 can extend and retract relative to the upright plate 1 toward the side of the upright plate 1 away from the suspension beam 2 via the positioning claw telescopic cylinder 9, so as to avoid interfering with the pulling of the tape. At the same time, the positioning claw telescopic cylinder 9 is set between the upright plate 1 and the suspension beam 2, which improves the space utilization and avoids the positioning claw telescopic cylinder 9 interfering with the pulling of the tape.

[0045] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a tape guide roller 10 is also included, which is disposed on the vertical plate 1; the tape guide roller 10 is located between the material tray 3 and the positioning claw 4. During the process of being pulled, the tape first passes through the tape guide roller 10 to ensure the stability of the tape's trajectory and avoid deviation.

[0046] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a tape tensioning roller 11 is also included, and multiple tape guide rollers 10 are arranged in the transverse direction; the tape tensioning roller 11 is arranged on the vertical plate 1 and is located between adjacent tape guide rollers 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, the tape passes through the tape guide roller 10 and the tape tension roller 11 during the pulling process. The tape guide roller 10 and the tape tension roller 11 cooperate with each other to ensure the stability of the tape's trajectory when it is pulled, while also ensuring the tension of the tape.

[0048] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a first tape detection sensor 12 is also included. The first tape detection sensor 12 is disposed on the vertical plate 1 and located between adjacent tape guide rollers 10. The first tape detection sensor 12 is used to detect whether there is tape between adjacent tape guide rollers 10. If there is no tape, it indicates that the tape is broken or the tape roll 7 is used up, so as to ensure the stability of tape feeding.

[0049] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a pull claw slide 13 is also included, which is horizontally arranged on the vertical plate 1; the pull claw 6 is connected to the slider of the pull claw slide 13. The pull claw 6 is driven to move by the pull claw slide 13, which has a simple structure and a stable movement trajectory of the pull claw 6, ensuring the reliability of pulling the tape.

[0050] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a transmission belt 14 is also included. The transmission belt 14 is arranged laterally on the vertical plate 1, and the slider of the claw slide 13 is connected to the transmission belt 14. The transmission belt 14 serves as a power source, driving the slider of the claw slide 13 to move, thereby driving the claw 6 to move. The structure is simple and the driving effect is stable.

[0051] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a second tape detection sensor 15 is also included. The second tape detection sensor 15 is disposed on the upright plate 1 and located between the cutting blade 5 and the pull claw 6. The second tape detection sensor 15 is used to detect whether there is tape between the cutting blade 5 and the pull claw 6. If there is no tape, it indicates that the tape is broken, the tape roll 7 is used up, or the pull claw 6 has not gripped the tape, thus ensuring the stability of tape feeding.

[0052] This embodiment provides a tooling circulation line, including the aforementioned tape feeding mechanism. Therefore, the technical advantages and effects achieved by this tooling circulation line include those achieved by the aforementioned tape feeding mechanism, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
