Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated equipment, and in particular to an automatic tape applicator. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of electronic and electrical products, coils usually require adhesive tape to be pasted on their outer surface after the winding process is completed, in order to fix the coils and mark them.

[0003] Currently, applying tape to coils is mostly done manually or with traditional semi-automatic equipment. Manual tape application is not only inefficient and unsuitable for large-scale industrial production, but also suffers from inconsistent tape application accuracy, tension control, and adhesion due to individual differences in manual operation, severely impacting coil quality and consistency. While traditional semi-automatic tape application equipment improves production efficiency to some extent, it still requires manual assistance for feeding and positioning the coils. Furthermore, its low level of automation means it cannot adapt to different coil specifications and sizes, resulting in poor versatility and flexibility when facing diverse production needs. Additionally, the lack of precise control over tape cutting and application leads to tape waste and weak adhesion, increasing production costs and reducing efficiency.

[0004] As electronic and electrical products develop towards miniaturization, integration, and high performance, higher requirements are placed on the production efficiency and quality of coils. Existing methods of applying tape to coils can no longer meet market demands, and there is an urgent need for an automatic tape-applying device that can achieve automation, high precision, high efficiency, and is applicable to coils of various specifications.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This application provides an automatic tape applicator that can apply tape to coiled wire. The automatic tape applicator base includes a tape reel 1, a feeding tray 2, a cutting mechanism 3, a tape dispensing mechanism 4, a conveying mechanism 5, and a first bonding mechanism 6, all located at the upper end of the base. The tape reel 1 is rotatably mounted on the base via a frame. The tape dispensing mechanism 4 is adjacent to one side of the tape reel 1. The cutting mechanism 3 is located between the tape reel 1 and the tape dispensing mechanism 4. The conveying mechanism 5 is slidably mounted horizontally between the tape dispensing mechanism 4 and the feeding tray 2. The first bonding mechanism 6 is slidably mounted vertically on the conveying mechanism 5.

[0031] Specifically, the first pasting mechanism 6 includes two sets of pressing components 61 and two sets of side pressing components 62. The coil 9 to be packaged is placed on the loading tray 2. The two sets of pressing components 61 are horizontally symmetrically arranged on the conveying mechanism 5, and each set of pressing components 61 can move vertically to press down both ends of the adhesive tape 8 to wrap the top of the coil 9. The two sets of side pressing components 62 are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the loading tray 2, and each set of side pressing components 62 can move horizontally to press down both ends of the adhesive tape to wrap the sides and bottom of the coil 9.

[0032] To this end, the tape reel 1 is rotatably mounted on the frame, providing tape for the entire tape application process. The tape dispensing mechanism 4 is adjacent to the tape reel 1, responsible for drawing the tape 8 from the tape reel 1 and conveying it to a designated position. The cutting mechanism 3 is located between the tape reel 1 and the tape dispensing mechanism 4. When the tape 8 has been conveyed to a certain length, the cutting mechanism 3 cuts the tape 8 according to a set size to obtain a suitable tape length for wrapping the coil 9. The conveying mechanism 5 slides horizontally between the tape dispensing mechanism 4 and the loading tray 2. The loading tray 2 is used to hold the coil 9 to be packaged. The conveying mechanism 5 conveys the cut tape 8 above the loading tray 2 for tape application. After the tape 8 is conveyed above the loading tray 2, two sets of pressing components 61 move vertically, pressing down on both ends of the tape 8, causing the tape 8 to wrap around the top of the coil 9, achieving initial fixation and wrapping of the top of the coil 9. After the top of the coil 9 is pasted, the two sets of side-pressing components 62 move horizontally to press the two ends of the tape 8, so that the tape further wraps the sides and bottom of the coil 9, thus completing the tape wrapping of the entire coil 9.

[0033] This application employs a step-by-step process: first, the lower pressure component 61 applies tape to the top of the coil 9, and then the side pressure component 62 applies tape to the sides and bottom of the coil 9. This efficiently completes the all-around tape wrapping of the coil 9, avoiding problems such as wrinkles and misalignment of the tape 8 during the wrapping process, thus improving production quality. The lower pressure component 61 and the side pressure component 62 precisely control the position and pressure of the tape 8, ensuring that the tape 8 is accurately wrapped around the coil 9, improving the positional accuracy and adhesion of the tape 8, and guaranteeing the consistency of product quality. The conveying mechanism 5 can slide horizontally, and the first pasting mechanism 6 can slide vertically. This design allows the device to adapt to tapes 8 and coils 9 of different specifications, providing good versatility and flexibility to meet diverse production needs. Here, through the coordinated operation of various mechanisms, a fully automated process is achieved from tape supply and cutting to tape conveying and tape pasting, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing manual operation, and lowering labor intensity.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 In one specific embodiment, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a first linear module 51, a second linear module 52, and a vacuum suction component 53. The first linear module 51 is horizontally disposed between the tape discharge mechanism 4 and the loading tray 2, the second linear module 52 is sleeved on the horizontal drive end of the first linear module 51, and the vacuum suction component 53 is fixed to the vertical drive end of the second linear module 52.

[0035] After receiving a control signal, the first linear module 51 starts, driving the second linear module 52 at its horizontal drive end to move horizontally until it moves above the cut tape 8 at the tape dispensing mechanism 4, ready to pick up the tape 8. When the first linear module 51 reaches the picking position, the second linear module 52 starts, and its vertical drive end drives the vacuum suction component 53 fixed thereon to descend vertically. When the vacuum suction component 53 contacts the cut tape 8, it activates its vacuum suction function to pick up the tape 8.

[0036] After picking up the tape 8, the second linear module 52 raises the vacuum suction component 53 a certain distance to prevent the tape 8 from colliding with other components during movement. Then, the first linear module 51 is restarted, causing the second linear module 52 and the vacuum suction component 53 holding the tape 8 to move horizontally, conveying the tape 8 above the coil 9 of the loading tray 2, ready for tape application. Subsequently, the second linear module 52 is restarted again, causing the vacuum suction component 53 to descend vertically, allowing the two sets of downward pressing components 61 and the two sets of side pressing components 62 to perform the tape application operation.

[0037] To address this, the coordinated operation of the first linear module 51 and the second linear module 52 precisely controls the horizontal and vertical movement of the vacuum suction component 53, thereby accurately conveying the cut tape 8 from the tape dispensing mechanism 4 to above the coil 9 of the loading tray 2, improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire tape application process. The entire operation of the conveying mechanism 5 is automatically completed by the first linear module 51, the second linear module 52, and the vacuum suction component 53, requiring no manual intervention. This not only improves production efficiency and reduces errors and uncertainties caused by manual operation but also lowers labor intensity, enabling the entire automatic tape application device to achieve efficient and stable automated production. The vacuum suction component 53 uses vacuum adsorption to pick up and convey the tape 8, firmly adsorbing it without damaging it. This avoids wrinkles and tears in the tape 8 during transport, ensuring its integrity and improving the quality and effect of tape application.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 In one specific embodiment, two sets of pressing components 61 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the vacuum suction component 53. Each pressing component 61 includes a first driving member 611 and a pressing block 612. The first driving member 611 is fixed to the vertical driving end of the second linear module 52, and the pressing block 612 is fixed to the vertical driving end of the first driving member 611. Both sets of pressing blocks 612 slide through the vacuum suction component 53. Simultaneously, each end of the two pressing blocks 612 used to press the coil 9 is provided with a guide surface 613, and the two guide surfaces 613 face each other.

[0039] After the vacuum suction unit 53 delivers the tape 8 above the coil 9 on the loading tray 2, the first drive unit 611 of a set of pressing components 61 is activated. The first drive unit 611 drives the pressing block 612 to move downwards in the vertical direction. Since the pressing block 612 slides through the vacuum suction unit 53, it can pass through the vacuum suction unit 53 and directly act on one end of the tape 8 that is attracted by the vacuum suction unit 53, thereby applying pressure to one side of the tape 8 to wrap one side of the coil 9. After wrapping one side of the coil 9, another set of pressing components 61 is activated to wrap the other side of the coil 9, and the working principle is the same.

[0040] The design of the pressing component 61 allows the pressing block 612 to precisely act on both ends of the tape 8, achieving adhesion to the top and sides of the coil 9. The stroke and pressure of the pressing block 612 are controlled by the first driving component 611, ensuring that the tape 8 is firmly and neatly wrapped around the top and sides of the coil 9, improving the positional accuracy and adhesion effect of the tape application, and guaranteeing product quality consistency. Two sets of pressing components 61 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the vacuum suction component 53, and the pressing block 612 slides through the vacuum suction component 53. This compact structural design makes full use of space, making the layout of the first adhesion mechanism 6 more reasonable, integrating multiple functions within a limited space, without affecting the normal operation of the conveying mechanism 5, and efficiently completing the tape adhesion task.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 In one specific embodiment, the side pressure assembly 62 includes a second driving member 621 and a side pressure block 622. The second driving member 621 is mounted on the frame, and the side pressure block 622 is fixed to the horizontal driving end of the second driving member 621. The two sets of side pressure blocks 622 can slide into the feeding tray 2 from below the coil 9 and face each other.

[0042] After the two sets of pressing components 61 have finished applying the tape to the top and sides of the coil 9, a second set of driving components 621 is activated, which drives the side pressing block 622 to move horizontally. Driven by the second driving component 621, the side pressing block 622 slides into the feeding tray 2 from below the coil 9. During the sliding process, the side pressing block 622 will contact one end of the tape 8 that has been applied to the top and sides of the coil 9 and apply horizontal pressure to it. As the side pressing block 622 continues to advance, one end of the tape 8 will be gradually squeezed and wrapped around the bottom of the coil 9. Then, another set of second driving components 621 is activated to squeeze the other side of the tape 8 and wrap it around the bottom of the coil 9, finally completing the all-around tape wrapping of the entire coil 9.

[0043] The design of the side-pressure component 62 allows the tape 8 to completely wrap around the sides and bottom of the coil 9. Working in conjunction with the bottom-pressure component 61, it achieves all-around tape wrapping of the coil 9, ensuring adequate packaging and improving product quality. The side-pressure component 62 works collaboratively with the bottom-pressure component 61, the conveying mechanism 5, and other components to form an integrated whole. After the top and sides of the coil 9 are finished with tape, the side-pressure component 62 promptly applies tape to the bottom. The seamless coordination between these components enhances the overall efficiency of the automatic tape-applying device.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 In one specific embodiment, the tape dispensing mechanism 4 includes a clamping assembly 41 and a supporting assembly 42. The clamping assembly 41 includes a first clamping member 411, a second clamping member 412, and a third linear module 413. The third linear module 413 is horizontally mounted on the frame. The first clamping member 411 is fixed to the horizontal drive end of the third linear module 413 and can clamp one end of the tape 8. The second clamping member 412 is used to clamp the other end of the tape 8. The cutting mechanism 3 is disposed adjacent to the second clamping member 412, and the supporting assembly 42 is disposed between the first clamping member 411 and the second clamping member 412.

[0045] The tape reel 1 rotates to release the tape 8. Upon receiving a control signal, the third linear module 413 drives the first clamping member 411 to move horizontally. During this movement, the first clamping member 411 pulls one end of the clamped tape 8 forward, while the supporting component 42 continuously supports the tape 8, ensuring smooth transport. When the tape 8 reaches the set length, the end of the tape 8 away from the first clamping member 411 is clamped by the second clamping member 412. The cutting mechanism 3, located adjacent to the second clamping member 412, begins to cut the tape 8 according to a preset size. After completing one tape 8 transport and cutting cycle, the third linear module 413 drives the first clamping member 411 back to its initial position, preparing for the next tape 8 transport operation. This cycle repeats continuously, providing the automatic tape applicator with tape of appropriate length.

[0046] To address this, the movement distance of the first clamping member 411 is controlled by the third linear module 413, enabling precise control of the tape's conveying length. Combined with the cutting mechanism 3, this ensures that the tape length after each conveying and cutting meets the requirements of the wrapping coil 9, improving the accuracy and consistency of the tape application operation. The first clamping member 411 and the second clamping member 412 clamp the two ends of the tape 8 respectively, while the supporting component 42 supports the tape 8 in the middle, ensuring the stability of the tape 8 during conveying and preventing problems such as shaking, wrinkling, or shifting. This provides a good foundation for subsequent cutting and tape application operations. The movement distance of the third linear module 413 can be adjusted as needed, and the tape dispensing mechanism 4 can adapt to tapes of different specifications. For tapes of different widths, thicknesses, and materials, stable conveying and accurate cutting can be achieved by adjusting the parameters of the third linear module 413, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the automatic tape application device.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the cutting mechanism 3 includes a fifth driving member 31 and a cutting member 32. The cutting mechanism 3 is located at one end of the second clamping member 412, the fifth driving member 31 is mounted on the frame, the cutting member 32 is fixed to the horizontal driving end of the fifth driving member 31, and the driving direction of the fifth driving member 31 is perpendicular to the discharge direction of the tape discharging mechanism 4.

[0048] When the automatic tape applicator is running, the tape feeding mechanism 4 continuously draws tape 8 from the tape reel 1 and conveys it forward. When tape 8 needs to be cut, the fifth drive unit 31 receives a control signal and starts working. The fifth drive unit 31 drives the cutting component 32 to move in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of tape 8 to cut tape 8, thereby obtaining a tape segment of the set length to meet the requirements of wrapping coil 9. By controlling the drive stroke of the fifth drive unit 31, the position of the cutting component 32 cutting into tape 8 can be precisely controlled, achieving precise control of the tape cutting length. This ensures that the tape length after each cut meets the requirements of wrapping coil 9, improving the accuracy and consistency of tape application.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, the supporting component 42 includes a supporting part 421 and a third driving member 422. The third driving member 422 is mounted on the frame, and the supporting part 421 is fixed to the vertical driving end of the third driving member 422. When the first clamping member 411 starts conveying the tape 8, the third driving member 422 is in its initial position to avoid obstructing the movement of the first clamping member 411. When the tape 8 is conveyed to a set length, the third driving member 422 drives the supporting part 421 to move upward, thereby supporting the tape 8 located between the first clamping member 411 and the second clamping member 412, placing the tape 8 in a more favorable cutting state, and preventing the tape 8 from sagging after cutting due to its own weight or external forces, ensuring that subsequent tapes 8 can be conveyed by the conveying mechanism 5.

[0050] Furthermore, the tape discharging mechanism 4 also includes several rollers 43, each roller 43 being rotatably disposed between the tape reel 1 and the tape discharging mechanism 4, with the movable end of the tape 8 passing through the bottom of the roller 43. When the tape reel 1 rotates to release the tape 8, the tape 8 contacts the bottom of the roller 43 under its own weight and the pulling force. Since the rollers 43 are rotatable, the tape 8 drives the rollers 43 to roll during movement. The rolling of the rollers 43 reduces the friction between the tape 8 and the supporting components, allowing the tape 8 to be conveyed more smoothly from the tape reel 1 to the tape discharging mechanism 4.

[0051] In addition, the tape discharging mechanism 4 also includes a photoelectric sensor 44, which is located between the tape reel 1 and the tape discharging mechanism 4. The emitting end of the photoelectric sensor 44 can emit light. When the tape 8 is conveyed from the tape reel 1 to the tape discharging mechanism 4, if the tape 8 passes through the detection area of ​​the photoelectric sensor 44, it will block the light emitted by the emitting end, causing a change in the light signal received by the receiving end. The photoelectric sensor 44 converts this change in light signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system.

[0052] By analyzing and processing electrical signals, the control system can determine the position and movement status of the tape 8, as well as whether there are any missing or broken pieces. For example, when the tape 8 moves normally, the photoelectric sensing mechanism 44 will periodically detect changes in the signal indicating that the tape 8 is blocking light, thus confirming that the tape 8 is being conveyed normally. If no signal change is detected within a certain period of time, it may mean that the tape 8 has encountered problems such as blockage, breakage, or insufficient supply, thereby notifying the operator to handle the situation and avoiding problems such as incorrect tape application or equipment damage, thus improving the stability and reliability of equipment operation.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 In one specific embodiment, the automatic tape applicator further includes a second applicator 7, which is adjacent to the first applicator 6 and serves as the next applicator station for the coil 9. The first applicator 6 completes the tape wrapping of the top, sides, and bottom of the coil 9, but the edges or joints of the tape 8 may require further compaction, smoothing, or secondary applicator fixation. The second applicator 7 then, based on this, uses specific mechanical structures and actions to process these areas.

[0054] Specifically, the second adhesive bonding mechanism 7 includes a fourth driving component 71, a mounting bracket 72, an upper pressure assembly 73, and an inner pressure assembly 74. The fourth driving component 71 is mounted on the frame. The mounting bracket 72 is fixed to the horizontal driving end of the fourth driving component 71 and slides horizontally along the frame. The upper pressure assembly 73 can slide into the feed tray 2 from below the coil 9 to vertically press the edge of the adhesive tape 8. The inner pressure assembly 74 can slide horizontally above the coil 9 to adhere the edge of the adhesive tape 8 to the top of the coil 9.

[0055] The fourth drive component 71 is mounted on the frame. When the fourth drive component 71 is activated, its horizontal drive end drives the mounting bracket 72 to slide horizontally along the frame, allowing the mounting bracket 72 to move to a designated position as needed, preparing for subsequent pasting operations. Driven by the mounting bracket 72, the upper pressure component 73 slides into the feed tray 2 from below the coil 9. Upon reaching the designated position, the upper pressure component 73 moves vertically upward, applying pressure to the edge of the tape 8 and lifting the edge of the tape 8 from below. Subsequently, the inner pressure component 74 moves horizontally to the position of the tape 8 edge and applies horizontal pressure to the edge of the tape 8, tightly adhering the edge of the tape 8 to the top of the coil 9. In this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the upper pressure component 73 and the inner pressure component 74 are consistent with those of the lower pressure component 61 and the side pressure component 62.

[0056] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
