[0039] Reference Figures 1-3 This is one embodiment of the tape-and-reel separation device of this utility model, used for separating tapes. Tape is a reel used to store electronic components. The tape is formed by heat-sealing a carrier tape and a cover tape, and can store and transport components. The carrier tape is generally made of rigid plastic or paper material, on which multiple storage slots for accommodating components are formed by vacuum forming or stamping to protect the components from damage. The cover tape is generally a transparent plastic film used to seal the storage slots on the carrier tape, preventing components from falling off.

[0040] See Figure 1 The tape separation device includes a housing assembly 100, a winding mechanism 200, and a material collection chamber 114.

[0041] The housing assembly 100 includes a housing body 110 and a side cover 120 that is closable on one side of the housing body 110.

[0042] The housing body 110 is provided with a feed guide groove 111 and a carrier belt guide groove 112.

[0043] The feed guide groove 111 is used to introduce the tape to be separated. The carrier tape guide groove 112 is used to export the separated carrier tape.

[0044] The feed guide groove 111 and the carrier tape guide groove 112 are both located inside the side cover 120. The openable side cover 120 facilitates the installation and replacement of the tape by the user.

[0045] The winding mechanism 200, located on the housing body 110, is used to pull and wind up the cover tape separated from the braided tape.

[0046] A material collection chamber 114 is formed on the housing body 110 inside the side cover 120. When the side cover 120 is closed, the material collection chamber 114 forms a closed space; when the side cover 120 is opened, the material inside the material collection chamber 114 can be removed. The top opening of the material collection chamber 114 faces the carrier tape stripping station and is used to receive components falling after being stripped from the carrier tape. The material collection chamber 114 allows for the rapid collection of separated components, preventing unnecessary bumps and damage after separation.

[0047] At work, such as Figure 3 As shown, first open the side cover 120, and guide the separated front end of the tape into the carrier tape guide groove 112 and the winding mechanism 200 respectively, and then place the carrier tape ( Figure 3 The red line indicates that the component storage slot on the carrier tape is guided along the carrier tape guide groove 112, aligning it with the opening of the material collection chamber 114; then, the cover tape (… Figure 3 The starting end of the tape (green line) is wound and fixed onto the take-up roller 220 of the take-up mechanism 200. Next, the unseparated end of the tape is guided in along the feed guide groove 111, ensuring the tape enters smoothly. Finally, the side cover 120 is closed, and the take-up mechanism 200 is started. The take-up roller 220 rotates, pulling the cover tape to take up the tape, while the carrier tape moves forward along the carrier tape guide groove 112. As the cover tape separates from the carrier tape, the components fall out of the carrier tape storage groove and into the material collection chamber 114. The separated carrier tape is then discharged along the carrier tape guide groove 112.

[0048] The aforementioned tape separation device, with its openable side cover 120, facilitates the installation and replacement of tapes by users. The feed guide groove 111 and carrier tape guide groove 112 guide the accurate introduction of the tape and the smooth export of the carrier tape, simplifying the operation process. Simultaneously, the winding mechanism 200 automatically pulls and winds the cover tape, avoiding the tedious manual peeling operation and significantly improving the tape separation efficiency. Furthermore, the separated components can be collected in the material collection chamber 114, preventing unnecessary bumps and damage to the components after separation.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, a discharge port 115 is provided on the housing body 110 at the bottom of the material collection chamber 114 to facilitate the discharge of components inside the material collection chamber 114. The discharge port 115 is connected to a detachable collection component (not shown) for collecting the discharged components.

[0050] The collection components can be fixed to the housing body 110 through snap-fit ​​structure, threaded structure or quick-plug structure, which makes it convenient for users to disassemble and install.

[0051] The collection component can be a collection tube, collection box, or collection bag, etc., to meet the collection needs of components of different sizes and quantities. For example, a sleeve 116 can be provided at the discharge port 115 at the bottom of the housing body 110. The sleeve 116 is threaded, and the collection component is fixed to the housing body 110 by threading with the sleeve 116.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the winding mechanism 200 includes a motor 210 and a winding wheel 220 coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 210. The housing body 110 has a mounting portion for fixing the motor 210. The motor 210 drives the winding wheel 220 to rotate, thereby achieving the traction and winding of the cover tape.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the housing body 110 is provided with a battery mounting portion 117, on which a battery is mounted for providing power to the winding mechanism 200. The battery mounting portion 117 is provided with a battery compartment for accommodating the battery.

[0054] The battery type can be a rechargeable battery such as a lithium battery or a nickel-metal hydride battery. The battery mounting section 117 may also be equipped with a charging interface for connecting to an external power source to charge the battery, or for charging via wireless charging.

[0055] The battery is connected to the motor 210 via wires, providing power to the motor 210. For example... Figure 2 As shown, to optimize the wiring layout and protect the wires, a wiring groove 118 is provided on the back of the housing body 110 (located on the front of the housing body 110 when the side cover 120 is fully closed). The wires are routed orderly along the wiring groove 118 to avoid tangling or compression. Wire clips or cable ties can be installed in the wiring groove 118 to fix the wires and ensure the stability and reliability of the wiring.

[0056] A start switch 300 is also provided on the housing body 110, and the start switch 300 is electrically connected to the motor 210. When the start switch 300 is turned on, the motor 210 circuit is closed, the motor 210 starts, and drives the winding mechanism 200 to operate, realizing the traction and winding of the cover tape, thereby separating the tape. The start switch 300 can be set in an easily accessible position on the housing body 110, such as below or to the side of the grip area, for convenient one-handed operation by the user.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, a safety switch (not shown) is provided between the housing body 110 and the side cover 120, and the safety switch is connected in series with the motor 210 circuit.

[0058] When the side cover 120 is fully closed, the safety switch is pressed or triggered by the side cover 120 and is in the closed state, and the motor 210 circuit is turned on. At this time, after the user presses the start switch 300, the motor 210 circuit forms a complete circuit, the motor 210 starts, and drives the winding mechanism 200 to run.

[0059] When the side cover 120 is opened, the safety switch, no longer pressed or triggered by the side cover 120, automatically pops up or resets, and is in the off state, cutting off the motor 210 circuit. At this time, regardless of whether the user presses the start switch 300, the motor 210 circuit cannot form a complete circuit, and therefore the motor 210 cannot start.

[0060] Specifically, the safety switch is a push-button roller switch, the main body of which is embedded in the mounting groove 119 of the housing body 110, with the outer end of the roller protruding from the groove. A corresponding groove 121 is provided on the side cover 120, the depth and position of which restrict the direction and stroke of the roller. When the side cover 120 is closed, the end of the inner wall of the groove 121 presses against the roller, causing the internal contacts of the switch to close, thus completing the circuit. When the side cover 120 is opened, the roller is no longer pressed, the internal contacts of the switch open, and the circuit is cut off.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the housing body 110 is further provided with a cover strip guide groove 113 for guiding the cover strip to be smoothly discharged. The winding mechanism 200 is adjacent to the cover strip guide groove 113 and is located outside the housing assembly 100 so that the winding wheel 220 can directly pull the cover strip.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the side cover 120 is hinged to the housing body 110 via a hinge structure 400, enabling the side cover 120 to rotate open and close. The hinge structure 400 can be a common hinge-type hinge or a concealed hinge to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the housing assembly 100 surface.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, the side cover 120 and the housing body 110 are opened and closed using a magnetic attraction method. Magnetic components 500 are respectively provided at corresponding positions on the side cover 120 and the housing body 110. The side cover 120 is closed by magnetic attraction, and the side cover 120 can be opened by applying external force to overcome the magnetic force. The magnetic attraction method has the advantages of simple operation and no mechanical wear.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, the housing assembly 100 is made of a transparent or translucent material, such as transparent plastic or plexiglass. A transparent housing assembly 100 allows users to easily observe the internal working status of the device, such as the tape-and-reel operation and component collection, facilitating timely detection and resolution of problems.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, the housing assembly 100 of the tape separation device may be designed as a pistol-grip structure for easy one-handed operation. The pistol-grip structure is suitable for mobile or portable applications.

[0066] In other embodiments of this application, the tape separation device may also be designed with a support structure and be used in conjunction with an independent tape take-up rack, suitable for fixed or desktop application scenarios.

[0067] The bracket is used to support and fix the housing assembly 100, improving the stability and reliability of the device. The bracket can be floor-standing or desktop-mounted to suit different usage scenarios. A height adjustment mechanism or angle adjustment mechanism can be installed on the bracket to allow users to adjust the position of the housing assembly 100 as needed.

[0068] The tape reel holder is used to hold the tape reels to be separated and to provide support for the tape conveying process. Tape reels can be either rotary or fixed. Rotary tape reels reduce frictional resistance during tape conveying, thus improving conveying efficiency.

[0069] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by this utility model.
