The pocket of the carrier tape is suspended and passes through the middle of the carrier tape feeding block 5 and the carrier tape track 1. The needle heads on the needle wheel 21 extend into the positioning holes on the carrier tape, so that the needle wheel 21 rotates to drive the carrier tape to advance. The carrier tape enters the guide groove 11 from the feeding end of the carrier tape feeding block 5, and then enters the guide groove 11 of the carrier tape track 1 after passing through the needle wheel 21.

Specifically, when the carrier tape winding machine works, the carrier tape is conveyed to the needle wheel 21 through the unwinding mechanism, and the carrier tape is connected with the needle wheel 21. At this time, the clutch 25 is in the engaged state, so that the driving motor 22 drives the needle wheel 21 to rotate, so that the needle wheel 21 drives the carrier tape to move forward. When the carrier tape is conveyed to the winding mechanism of the winding machine, and the winding mechanism starts to wind, the clutch 25 is disengaged. At this time, the carrier tape is driven forward by the winding mechanism, and the needle wheel 21 is passively rotated under the driving of the carrier tape. When the winding mechanism finishes winding and the cutting assembly 3 is ready to cut, the clutch 25 is engaged to ensure that the carrier tape is fixed, so that the cutting assembly 3 can accurately cut.

The gas cylinder 32 can drive the cutter 31 to approach or move away from the carrier tape track 1. It should be noted that the gas cylinder 32 is arranged on the cabinet of the winding machine, and the cutter 31 is located above the gas cylinder 32, so that the structure is more compact. The cutter 31 is connected with the driving end of the gas cylinder 32 through the mounting plate 33, so that the gas cylinder 32 drives the cutter 31 to approach or move away from the carrier tape track 1.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the end of the first pressing plate 51 close to the needle roller 21 is provided with a avoiding hole 52 for avoiding the needle on the needle roller 21. It should be noted that in order to improve the stability of the connection between the needle roller 21 and the carrier tape, the needle on the needle roller 21 needs to pass through the positioning hole on the carrier tape completely, so the height of the needle is greater than the thickness of the carrier tape, and the avoiding hole 52 can avoid the collision between the needle roller 21 and the first pressing plate 51 when the needle roller 21 rotates upwards, which is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the needle roller 21.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the top of the carrier tape track 1 is further provided with a second pressing plate 13, which covers part of the guide groove 11, and the second pressing plate 13 is arranged close to the end of the carrier tape track 1.
