[0002] In many industrial scenarios requiring precise position detection, such as automated production lines, intelligent warehousing systems, and robot navigation and positioning, position detection systems play a crucial role. A position detection system typically consists of an coded tape and a reading device. The coded tape, as the carrier of position information, directly impacts the performance of the entire position detection system and subsequent production and operational efficiency through its installation quality and efficiency.

[0003] Currently, the installation of coded tape onto guide rail mechanisms generally relies on manual labor using common tools. These tools include screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers. Installers manually lay and position the coded tape along specific locations on the guide rail mechanism and then use these tools to secure it, such as tightening screws and installing clips. However, the current coded tape installation process suffers from low efficiency and high cost. Utility Model Content

[0016] In one embodiment, the guide wheel mechanism further includes a second fixing member and a second retaining ring. The second fixing shaft and the guide wheel are both disposed within the mounting frame.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model discloses an auxiliary device for installing an encoding tape, which is mainly used to install the encoding tape 30 onto the guide rail mechanism 10. In this embodiment, the guide rail mechanism 10 is provided with an installation groove 11 for installing the encoding tape 30. The encoding tape 30 is fixed onto the guide rail mechanism 10 by inserting an adhesive strip 20 into the installation groove 11. At the same time, the guide rail mechanism 10 is also provided with a first sliding groove 12 and a second sliding groove 13 arranged opposite to each other.

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 10 One embodiment of the auxiliary device includes a mounting frame 100, a sliding mechanism 200, and a pressure strip mechanism 300. The sliding mechanism 200 is disposed on the mounting frame 100 and detachably mounted on the guide rail mechanism 10, so that the mounting frame 100 can slide on the guide rail mechanism 10 via the sliding mechanism 200. The pressure strip mechanism 300 is disposed on the mounting frame 100 and can slide along with the mounting frame 100 on the guide rail mechanism 10.

[0044] In this embodiment, during the sliding process of the mounting bracket 100 on the guide rail mechanism 10, the pressure strip mechanism 300 can apply force to the adhesive strip 20 to press the adhesive strip 20 into the mounting groove 11 of the guide rail mechanism 10, and make the adhesive strip 20 elastically abut against the groove wall of the mounting groove 11 and the coding tape 30, so as to fix the coding tape 30 in the mounting groove 11 of the guide rail mechanism 10. Thus, a professional auxiliary device is used to install the coding tape 30 on the guide rail mechanism 10. Due to the sliding cooperation between the sliding mechanism 200 and the guide rail mechanism 10, the installation efficiency of the coding tape 30 is high, thereby reducing manual installation time and installation costs.

[0045] It is understood that the mounting bracket 100 can be electrically driven or manually driven, with the purpose of causing the auxiliary device to slide on the guide rail mechanism 10 and enabling the pressure strip mechanism 300 to apply force to the adhesive strip 20 to press the adhesive strip 20 into the mounting groove 11 of the guide rail mechanism 10.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The pressure strip mechanism 300 includes a first fixed shaft 310 and a pressure roller 320 rotatably mounted on the first fixed shaft 310. During the sliding process of the mounting bracket 100 on the guide rail mechanism 10, the pressure roller 320 can rotate and press the adhesive strip 20 into the mounting groove 11 of the guide rail mechanism 10. With this arrangement, the pressure roller 320 is positioned close to the coding tape 30, and during its rotation, it can apply force to the adhesive strip 20 to press it into the mounting groove 11 of the guide rail mechanism 10.

[0047] Specifically, the pressing strip mechanism 300 also includes a first fixing member 330 and a first retaining ring 340.

The first fixing shaft 310 is provided with a first retaining groove 311, and the first retaining ring 340 is engaged within the first retaining groove 311 to restrict the pressure roller 320 onto the first fixing shaft 310. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the pressing strip mechanism 300 onto the mounting frame 100. Furthermore, the installation method of the first fixing member 330 and the first retaining ring 340 also facilitates the disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of the pressing strip mechanism 300.

[0048] Furthermore, the first fastener 330 can be a bolt or screw, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, the first retaining ring 340 can also be replaced by a bolt or other mounting component.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , Figure 10 The auxiliary device also includes a guide wheel mechanism 400, which is mounted on the mounting frame 100 and is used to guide and cooperate with the coding tape 30. With this arrangement, the guide wheel mechanism 400 can be used to restrict the coding tape 30 to the preset position of the mounting groove 11 in the guide rail mechanism 10, so as to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the installation of the coding tape 30.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the guide wheel mechanism 400 includes a second fixed shaft 410 and a guide wheel 420 rotatably disposed on the second fixed shaft 410. The rim of the guide wheel 420 is formed with a groove 421 for guiding and engaging with the coding belt 30. During the sliding process of the mounting bracket 100 on the guide rail mechanism 10, the guide wheel 420 can travel on the coding belt 30, thereby using the groove 421 to restrict the coding belt 30 to a preset position in the mounting groove 11 within the guide rail mechanism 10, which facilitates ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the installation of the coding belt 30.

[0051] Specifically, the guide wheel mechanism 400 also includes a second fixing member 430 and a second retaining ring 440. The second fixed shaft 410 and the guide wheel 420 are both disposed within the mounting frame 100. The second fixing member 430 is disposed outside the mounting frame 100 and penetrates the mounting frame 100, allowing for detachable connection with the second fixed shaft 410 to fix the second fixed shaft 410 onto the mounting frame 100. The second fixed shaft 410 is provided with a second retaining groove 411, and the second retaining ring 440 is engaged within the second retaining groove 411 to restrict the guide wheel 420 onto the second fixed shaft 410. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the guide wheel mechanism 400 onto the mounting frame 100. Furthermore, the installation method of the second fixing member 430 and the second retaining ring 440 also facilitates the disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of the guide wheel mechanism 400.

[0052] Furthermore, the second fastener 430 can be a bolt or screw, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, the second retaining ring 440 can also be replaced by a bolt or other mounting component.

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 8 The sliding mechanism 200 includes a first side wheel module 210 and a second side wheel module 220 arranged opposite to each other. The first side wheel module 210 and the second side wheel module 220 are respectively housed in the first slide groove 12 and the second slide groove 13 on both sides of the guide rail mechanism 10 for sliding. Through the sliding cooperation on both sides, the stability and reliability of the sliding mechanism 200 sliding on the mounting frame 100 are improved.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first side wheel module 210 and the second side wheel module 220 have the same structure; wherein, the first side wheel module 210 includes a sliding frame 201, and a first pulley 202 and a second pulley 203 rotatably disposed on the sliding frame 201. The rotation axis of the first pulley 202 is set at an angle to the rotation axis of the second pulley 203, and the first pulley 202 and the second pulley 203 are respectively used to slide in contact with the groove wall of the first sliding groove 12. With this arrangement, the first side wheel module 210 and the second side wheel module 220 are slidably connected to the guide rail mechanism 10 in two rolling engagement methods, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the sliding mechanism 200 sliding on the mounting frame 100.

[0055] Specifically, the rotation axis of the first pulley 202 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second pulley 203; wherein, the first pulley 202 is slidably connected to the top and bottom walls of the first slide groove 12, and the second pulley 203 is slidably connected to the side walls of the first slide groove 12. With this arrangement, the first side wheel module 210 and the second side wheel module 220 can slide stably within the first slide groove 12 and the second slide groove 13 respectively, achieving high reliability.

[0056] Furthermore, multiple first pulleys 202 and second pulleys 203 are provided and distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the guide rail mechanism 10. Each first pulley 202 and each second pulley 203 are arranged to cross each other, or each second pulley 203 is arranged between at least two first pulleys 202, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the first side wheel module 210 and the second side wheel module 220 sliding in the first slide groove 12 and the second slide groove 13, respectively.

[0057] In this embodiment, each second pulley 203 is disposed between at least two first pulleys 202. This can be understood as follows: when there are two first pulleys 202, each second pulley 203 is disposed between the two first pulleys 202; when there are three first pulleys 202, each second pulley 203 has two first pulleys 202 on one side and one first pulley 202 on the other side. This layout can better disperse the horizontal and vertical forces generated during the movement of the equipment, reduce guiding deviations caused by uneven force distribution, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the guidance.
