Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tape processing feeders, and in particular to a tape processing feeder. Background Technology
[0002] Adhesive tape mainly consists of tape rolls and adhesive film wound on the tape rolls. During the tape production process, tape slitting machines are needed, mainly to cut large bundles of tape into multiple small tapes for daily use and sale. To improve production efficiency, multiple tape rolls are usually mounted on a single roller, and multiple adhesive films are wound at once. Therefore, a feeder is needed to uniformly mount the tape onto the roller.
[0003] The tape is mainly processed by feeding tape through a feeder. This is mainly to achieve an efficient and precise production process. The tape roll needs to be continuously and stably fed to subsequent processing equipment such as slitting, printing, coating or laminating. Feeding through a feeder significantly improves production efficiency and reduces manual intervention and downtime.
[0004] In the current use of conveyor belt feeders, a hopper structure is typically used to hold conveyor belt rolls for initial material storage. However, this design has a significant technical flaw: when operators replace the exhausted conveyor belt rolls, some rolls are prone to tipping over under gravity as they move along the hopper's descent path. This causes the rolls to become laterally stuck on the guide plate surface. This tipping state prevents the rolls from autonomously conveying themselves and from rolling along the preset guide path to the designated position on the conveyor belt positioning cylinder. In this case, manual intervention is required, with operators manually righting and repositioning the tipped rolls into the effective conveying area of the guide plate before subsequent roll assembly operations can proceed. This flaw significantly increases the time required for the conveyor belt feeding process, severely hindering the improvement of overall production line efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that tape rolls tilt during the feeding process, which leads to a significant increase in the time required to use the feeder. Therefore, this invention proposes a feeder for tape processing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A tape processing feeder includes a guide plate fixedly installed on a workbench, with guide grooves evenly spaced on the guide plate. A positioning cylinder and a hopper are respectively installed on opposite sides of the guide plate. The feeder also includes: a partition plate fixedly installed inside the hopper, wherein a flow divider plate is fixedly installed on the partition plate, the upper surface of the flow divider plate forming a storage area with the inner wall of the hopper; a discharge port is provided on the hopper and is connected to the guide grooves; the partition plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the discharge port, and the guide area is defined between adjacent partition plates; when the tape roll enters the storage area, the tape roll moves under gravity and is guided to the guide area by the flow divider plate; a discharge component is rotatably installed on the hopper, located within the guide area; when the discharge component moves, the tape roll rises or falls within the guide area to the discharge port area.
[0008] To facilitate control of the tape roll feed rate, preferably, the feed component includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the hopper, a feed plate fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, and the feed plate rotatably mounted in the guide area. The end of the rotating shaft extends to the outside of the hopper and is fixedly mounted with a lever. When the lever is turned, the rotating shaft drives the feed plate to make a circular motion along the axis of the rotating shaft.
[0009] To facilitate material discharge from the hopper, a limit box is fixedly installed on the hopper. The limit box has a guide groove. A reset plate is fixedly installed on the end face of the lever and is installed inside the limit box. Reset springs are fixedly installed on both sides of the reset plate, and the two ends of the reset springs abut against the reset plate and the limit box, respectively.
[0010] To prevent the tape roll from being automatically fed, preferably, the spring force values of the two sets of reset springs are the same, and the initial position of the reset plate plane is parallel to the horizontal plane.
[0011] To facilitate the tape roll's discharge from the hopper, preferably, the length of the discharge port is in a ratio of 1.1:1 to the diameter of the tape roll, allowing the tape roll to smoothly enter the guide trough from the discharge port.
[0012] To facilitate the entry of the tape roll into the guiding area, preferably, the diverter plate is configured as an inverted "V" shape to divert the tape roll in the storage area to the guiding area.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a feeder for tape processing, which has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. The tape processing feeder uses a combination of partitions and diverters to allow some tape rolls inside the hopper to enter the guiding area. The feeder then guides the tape rolls using the unloading components, preventing the tape rolls from tipping over on the unloading plate and thus avoiding the need for operators to straighten them. This effectively improves the feeding efficiency when using this application.
[0015] 2. This tape processing feeder utilizes a lever, a rotating shaft, and a feeding plate. When the lever rotates upward, the feeding plate rotates upward, lifting the tape rolls accumulated in the storage area. This prevents some tape rolls from tilting and piling up above the distribution plate, thus avoiding blockage at the inlet of the guide area. Conversely, when the lever rotates downward, the tape rolls enter the outlet area. This allows control over the amount of tape entering the guide trough, effectively improving the ease of use and the feeding efficiency of the tape rolls.
[0016] The parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model utilizes partitions and diverting plates in combination to effectively prevent the tape roll from tipping over, thus avoiding the problem of the tape roll tipping over on the guide plate and requiring operators to straighten it, which consumes a lot of time.

[0024] Example:
[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 A tape processing feeder includes a guide plate 1 fixedly installed on a workbench. Guide grooves are equidistantly spaced on the guide plate 1. A positioning cylinder 2 and a hopper 3 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the guide plate 1. The feeder also includes: a partition plate 4 fixedly installed inside the hopper 3; a flow divider plate 5 fixedly installed on the partition plate 4; the upper surface of the flow divider plate 5 forms a storage area with the inner wall of the hopper 3; a discharge port 6 is provided on the hopper 3 and is connected to the guide grooves; the partition plates 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the discharge port 6, and adjacent partition plates 4 define the guide area. When a tape roll enters the storage area, the tape roll moves under gravity and is guided to the guide area by the flow divider plate 5, thereby restricting the direction and space of movement of the tape roll and preventing... To prevent the tape roll from tipping over during the feeding process, and to avoid the need for operators to straighten the tape roll, which would consume a lot of time and reduce the feeding efficiency of the feeder, a feeding component is rotatably installed on the hopper 3. The feeding component is located in the guide area. When the feeding component moves, it causes the tape roll to rise or fall in the guide area to the discharge port 6 area. When the feeding component moves upward, it moves the tape in the hopper 3 upward, thereby pushing some of the tape rolls placed horizontally on the diverter plate 5, thus preventing the problem of blockage at the inlet of the guide area. Conversely, when the feeding component moves downward, it allows the tape to enter the discharge port 6 area. At the same time, it can control the amount of tape rolls fed, avoiding the problem of the tape rolls being squeezed and deformed due to excessive feeding.
[0026] Specifically, by using the partition 4 and the diverter 5 together, some of the tape rolls inside the hopper 3 enter the guiding area, thereby using the unloading component to guide the tape rolls and prevent the tape rolls from tipping over on the unloading plate 8, thus avoiding the problem of operators needing to straighten the tape rolls, effectively improving the feeding efficiency when using this application.
[0027] The feeding component includes a rotating shaft 7 rotatably mounted on the hopper 3, a feeding plate 8 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 7, and the feeding plate 8 rotatably mounted in the guiding area. The end of the rotating shaft 7 extends to the outside of the hopper 3 and is fixedly mounted with a lever 9. When the lever 9 is turned, the rotating shaft 7 drives the feeding plate 8 to move in a circular motion along the axis of the rotating shaft 7. Turning the lever 9 upward will push the tape roll in the hopper 3 upward as a whole, avoiding the problem of some tape rolls being placed horizontally above the diversion area, which would cause blockage at the entrance of the guiding area. At the same time, turning the lever 9 downward will allow the tape roll in the guiding area to be discharged through the discharge port 6, effectively controlling the number of tape rolls fed and avoiding the problem of excessive feeding causing excessive tape rolls above the guiding plate 1 to be squeezed and deformed.
[0028] Specifically, by utilizing the combined use of the lever, the rotating shaft 7, and the feeding plate 8, when the lever rotates upward, the feeding plate 8 rotates upward, thereby lifting the tape rolls accumulated in the storage area. This prevents some tape rolls from tilting and accumulating above the diverter plate 5, which could cause blockage at the inlet of the guide area. Conversely, when the lever rotates downward, the tape rolls enter the outlet 6 area, thus controlling the amount of tape entering the guide trough. This effectively improves the ease of use and the feeding efficiency of the tape rolls in this application.
[0029] A limit box 10 is fixedly installed on the hopper 3. The limit box 10 has a guide groove. A reset plate is fixedly installed on the end face of the lever 9 and is installed inside the limit box 10. A reset spring 11 is fixedly installed on both sides of the reset plate. The two ends of the reset spring 11 abut against the reset plate and the limit box 10 respectively. The spring force of the two sets of reset springs 11 is the same, and the initial position of the plane of the reset plate is parallel to the horizontal plane. Through the cooperation of the lever 9, the limit box 10 and the reset spring 11, on the one hand, it can prevent the tape roll from accumulating and squeezing the feeding plate 8, which would cause the feeding plate 8 to deviate. On the other hand, after the feeding plate 8 rotates with the rotating shaft 7, the deformation of the reset spring 11 will reset the feeding plate 8, avoiding the feeding plate 8 from continuously maintaining the same position, which would lead to the failure of the feeding part. This effectively improves the use effect of the feeding part.
[0030] The length of the discharge port 6 is 1.1:1 to the diameter of the tape roll. This is to allow the tape roll to smoothly enter the guide groove from the discharge port 6. By using the fact that the length of the discharge port 6 is slightly larger than the diameter of the tape roll, the tape roll can enter the guide groove more smoothly when passing through the discharge port 6, avoiding the tape roll getting stuck at the discharge port 6, which would cause inconvenience in the use of this application.
[0031] The diverter plate 5 is configured in an inverted "V" shape to divert the tape rolls in the storage area to the guide area. By utilizing the inverted "V" shape design of the diverter plate 5, the tape rolls in the storage area can be guided by the diverter plate 5 to the guide area corresponding to the diverter plate 5 during the unloading process, reducing the situation where some tape rolls are placed horizontally on the diverter plate 5, and further improving the use effect of this application.
[0032] In this invention, the tape rolls are first placed into the storage area of the hopper 3. Then, the operator repeatedly presses down on the lever 9 to move the tape rolls from the storage area into the guiding area. As the discharge plate 8 rotates with the rotating shaft 7, the tape rolls are sequentially discharged from the discharge port 6 into the guiding trough. The operator then opens the positioning cylinder 2, allowing the tape rolls to be evenly spaced on it. Finally, by using external equipment to pull the roller shaft and insert it into the inner cylindrical surface of the tape rolls, multiple tape rolls can be connected in series, effectively preventing the tape rolls from being discharged from the conventional hopper 3. The tape roll is placed horizontally above the guide plate 1, requiring operators to straighten it, which leads to a significant time consumption. This application effectively improves the efficiency of feeding tape rolls. At the same time, if there is tape horizontally placed above the diverter plate 5, simply push the handle 9 upwards, and then push the unloading plate 8 upwards to move the tape above the diverter plate 5 upwards. Then, during the descent, the tape changes its position, avoiding the problem of tape being horizontally placed above the diverter area, which would cause blockage at the inlet of the guide area. This makes the application more convenient to use.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
