Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of carbon fiber tube production equipment, and in particular to a carbon fiber tube winding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of carbon fiber tubes, after the carbon fiber cloth is wound onto the tube through the tube winding process, a layer of transparent polypropylene plastic tape needs to be wrapped around the carbon fiber tube as a winding tape. The tension of the winding tape makes the carbon fiber cloth more firmly bonded to the tube, preventing the carbon fiber cloth from cracking during the baking and curing process in the curing oven.

[0003] In related technologies, a wrapping machine is a device used to wrap a wrapping tape around a carbon fiber tube. Specifically, the wrapping machine includes a rotating mechanism and a wrapping mechanism. The rotating mechanism is used to clamp the carbon fiber tube and drive the carbon fiber tube to rotate. The wrapping mechanism can move along the length direction of the carbon fiber tube. When the rotating mechanism drives the carbon fiber tube to rotate, the wrapping mechanism moves along the length direction of the carbon fiber tube and releases the wrapping tape onto the carbon fiber tube at the same time. During the rotation of the carbon fiber tube, the wrapping tape is wound around the carbon fiber tube.

[0004] To make the rotation of carbon fiber tubes smoother, existing wrapping machines are equipped with support components on the wrapping mechanism. These support components can support the carbon fiber tubes, thereby preventing excessive shaking of the carbon fiber tubes during rotation and affecting the wrapping quality.

[0005] However, the support components of existing wrapping machines are prone to scratching the surface of the carbon fiber tube or pulling on the incompletely cured carbon fiber cloth on the carbon fiber tube during the movement of the wrapping mechanism, which can cause wrinkles in the carbon fiber cloth. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a carbon fiber tube winding machine that can support the rotation of the carbon fiber tube while avoiding scratching the surface of the carbon fiber tube or pulling on the incompletely cured carbon fiber cloth on the carbon fiber tube, which would cause wrinkles in the carbon fiber cloth.

[0007] A carbon fiber tube winding machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0008] frame;

[0009] A rotating mechanism, mounted on the frame, is used to clamp one end of the carbon fiber tube and drive the carbon fiber tube to rotate.

[0010] The tape winding mechanism, mounted on the frame, includes a sliding frame slidably mounted on the frame along the length of the carbon fiber tube, a tape supply assembly mounted on the sliding frame, and a drive assembly for driving the sliding frame to slide. The tape supply assembly is used to store and release the winding tape.

[0011] The support mechanism has two components, each consisting of two support assemblies located on the radial horizontal sides of the carbon fiber tube. Each support assembly includes a translation module and a support roller rotatably mounted on the translation module. The translation module can drive the support roller to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding frame. The two support rollers of the support mechanism cooperate to support the carbon fiber tube.

[0012] A carbon fiber tube winding machine according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model, by setting up an independent support mechanism, ensures that the support mechanism does not move with the winding mechanism when supporting the carbon fiber tube. Compared with the traditional sliding support structure, the support rollers can roll to support the carbon fiber tube, reducing friction between the support mechanism and the carbon fiber tube. This avoids scratching the surface of the carbon fiber tube or pulling on the incompletely cured carbon fiber cloth on the carbon fiber tube, which would cause wrinkles in the carbon fiber cloth.

[0014] 2. This utility model provides two support components in the support mechanism. Each support component includes a translation module and a support roller rotatably mounted on the translation module. The translation module can drive the support roller to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube in a direction that is horizontal and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding frame. The two support rollers of the support mechanism cooperate to support the carbon fiber tube. It can be understood that when the winding mechanism passes through the support mechanism, the translation module can drive the support roller away from the carbon fiber tube, so that the support mechanism can actively avoid the winding mechanism when it passes by, thus eliminating mechanical interference.

[0015] 3. By setting up two support mechanisms, this utility model means that when the winding mechanism moves to the area of ​​a certain support mechanism, the two support components of the support mechanism drive the support rollers to move horizontally away through the translation module, disengaging from contact with the carbon fiber tube and avoiding interference with the movement path of the winding mechanism. At this time, the other set of support mechanisms still maintains the support state to ensure the rotational stability of the carbon fiber tube. After the winding mechanism passes, the retracted support components return to contact the carbon fiber tube, forming continuous dynamic support, thereby ensuring that at least one set of support mechanisms provides stable support for the carbon fiber tube at any time.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer peripheral surface of the supporting roller is provided with a rubber layer, which is used to abut against the carbon fiber tube.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the translation module includes a slide block slidably disposed on the frame and a first power component that drives the slide block to slide.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the slide includes a seat body slidably connected to the frame, a cantilever disposed on the side of the seat body near the carbon fiber tube, and a support roller disposed at the end of the cantilever near the carbon fiber tube.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first power component includes a first motor and a first screw. The first screw is rotatably mounted on the frame and threadedly connected to the base. The first motor is fixed on the frame and is used to drive the first screw to rotate. The rotation of the first screw drives the base to slide.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the carbon fiber tube winding machine further includes a first sensor, which is located between the rotating mechanism and a support mechanism near the rotating mechanism. The first sensor is electrically connected to a first motor near the support mechanism. The first sensor is used to sense the winding mechanism and control the first motor to drive the seat body to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube so that the support mechanism avoids the winding mechanism.

[0021] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the carbon fiber tube winding machine further includes a second sensor located between the two support mechanisms. The second sensor is electrically connected to the first motor of one of the support mechanisms located away from the rotating mechanism. The second sensor is used to sense the winding mechanism and control the first motor to drive the seat body to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube so that the support mechanism avoids the winding mechanism.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly includes a second motor and a second screw. The second screw is rotatably mounted on the frame and threadedly connected to the sliding frame. The second motor is fixed on the frame and is used to drive the second screw to rotate, thereby driving the sliding frame to move.

[0023] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the tape supply assembly includes a tape roll mounting disc rotatably disposed on the sliding frame and a plurality of guide rollers. The tape roll mounting disc is used to install and store tape rolls and release winding tape, and the plurality of guide rollers sequentially support the winding tape to guide the winding tape.

[0024] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the tape supply assembly further includes a clamping roller group, which is located between the guide roller and the carbon fiber tube. The clamping roller group includes two clamping rollers rotatably mounted on the sliding frame, and the two clamping rollers cooperate to clamp the winding tape.

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 This invention describes a carbon fiber tube winding machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of a carbon fiber tube winding machine.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a carbon fiber tube winding machine mainly includes a frame 100, a rotating mechanism 110, a winding mechanism 130, a support mechanism 170, a first sensor, and a second sensor.

[0041] For the frame 100, the frame 100 refers to the rigid frame structure that supports the various functional modules of the equipment. Specifically, it can be implemented by a welded steel frame or a cast base, providing an installation reference for the rotating mechanism 110, the winding mechanism 130 and the support mechanism 170.

[0042] The rotating mechanism 110 is mounted on the frame 100. The rotating mechanism 110 is used to clamp one end of the carbon fiber tube 120 and drive the carbon fiber tube 120 to rotate.

[0043] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 110 can be implemented using a chuck and servo motor structure, which achieves rotation drive by clamping the end of the carbon fiber tube 120. The specific structure can be referred to the chuck rotation drive mechanism of a lathe, and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 For the winding mechanism 130, the winding mechanism 130 is mounted on the frame 100. The winding mechanism 130 includes a sliding frame 140 that is slidably mounted on the frame 100 along the length direction of the carbon fiber tube 120, a belt supply assembly 150 mounted on the sliding frame 140, and a drive assembly 160 that drives the sliding frame 140 to slide. The belt supply assembly 150 is used to store and release the winding belt.

[0045] Specifically, when the rotating mechanism 110 drives the carbon fiber tube 120 to rotate, the winding mechanism 130 moves along the axial direction of the carbon fiber tube 120, and the driving component 160 controls the moving speed of the sliding frame 140 to match the rotation speed of the rotating mechanism 110, forming a spiral winding trajectory so that the winding tape is evenly spirally wound on the carbon fiber tube 120.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the drive assembly 160 includes a second motor 300 and a second screw 310. The second screw 310 is rotatably mounted on the frame 100 and threadedly connected to the sliding frame 140. The second motor 300 is fixed on the frame 100 and is used to drive the second screw 310 to rotate. The rotation of the second screw 310 drives the sliding frame 140 to move.

[0047] Specifically, after the second motor 300 starts, it drives the second screw 310 to rotate around its own axis. Since the second screw 310 and the sliding frame 140 form a threaded engagement, the rotational motion of the second screw 310 is converted into the linear displacement of the sliding frame 140 along the axial direction of the carbon fiber tube 120. By controlling the speed and direction of the second motor 300, the moving speed and direction of the sliding frame 140 can be precisely adjusted. It can be understood that the use of a rigidly connected screw transmission system avoids the elastic deformation of belt transmission or the pitch error of chain transmission, so that the sliding frame 140 will not experience sudden speed changes during movement, thereby maintaining the stability of the tension released by the winding tape.

[0048] The second motor 300 refers to the rotary drive device that provides power to the sliding frame 140. Specifically, it can be implemented by a servo motor or a stepper motor, and the sliding frame 140 can be moved at a constant speed by precisely controlling the rotation speed.

[0049] The second screw 310 is a transmission component that converts rotary motion into linear motion. Specifically, it can be implemented using a ball screw or a threaded connection. The threaded connection has a self-locking characteristic to prevent the sliding frame 140 from shifting.

[0050] Among them, the sliding frame 140 refers to the support structure that carries the belt feeding assembly 150 and moves axially along the carbon fiber tube 120. Specifically, it can be realized by using a linear guide rail in conjunction with a slider. The threaded connection structure directly transmits the driving force to eliminate transmission gaps.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, the tape supply assembly 150 includes a tape roll mounting disc 320 rotatably mounted on a sliding frame 140 and a plurality of guide rollers 330. The tape roll mounting disc 320 is used to mount and store tape rolls and release winding tape, and the plurality of guide rollers 330 sequentially support the winding tape to guide the winding tape.

[0052] In this embodiment, the synergistic effect of the tape roll mounting disc 320 and the multi-stage guide rollers 330 ensures that the winding tape is always under control during the release process, eliminating uneven winding of the winding tape on the carbon fiber tube 120 caused by unstable tension.

[0053] Among them, the tape roll mounting disc 320 refers to a rotatable disc structure, which can be implemented as a metal disc with a central shaft and a locking mechanism, used to fix the winding tape roll and allow it to be smoothly released when it moves with the sliding frame 140.

[0054] Among them, the guide roller 330 refers to a smooth cylindrical roller, which can be made of steel roller with chrome plating. Multiple guide rollers 330 are distributed at intervals along the conveying path of the winding belt to form multi-level guide points, thereby reducing friction and tension fluctuations by limiting the lateral offset of the winding belt.

[0055] Specifically, after the winding tape is released from the tape roll mounting reel 320, it passes through the conveying path formed by multiple guide rollers 330 in sequence. Each guide roller 330 applies a vertical constraint force to the winding tape, restricting its lateral sway. At the same time, the rolling contact reduces the sliding friction between the winding tape and the guide roller 330. The spacing of the multi-stage guide rollers 330 keeps the winding tape straight during the conveying process, avoiding local bending or accumulation, thereby maintaining the uniformity of the winding tape tension.

[0056] When the sliding frame 140 moves along the length of the carbon fiber tube 120, the winding belt is always conveyed along the predetermined path under the support of the guide roller 330, so as to avoid the support mechanism 170 from being pulled or scratched on the surface of the carbon fiber tube 120 due to sudden tension changes.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, the roll mounting tray 320 may be equipped with a damping device, such as a magnetic powder brake, to adjust the release resistance of the winding tape; the guide rollers 330 may be arranged in an alternating pattern to form a serpentine path to increase the contact area between the winding tape and the guide rollers 330.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the tape supply assembly 150 further includes a clamping roller group 340 located between the guide roller 330 and the carbon fiber tube 120. The clamping roller group 340 includes two clamping rollers rotatably mounted on the sliding frame 140, which cooperate to clamp the winding tape.

[0059] Specifically, after the winding tape is released from the tape roll mounting plate 320, it is guided by the guide roller 330 and then enters the space between the two clamping rollers of the clamping roller group 340. The clamping rollers exert a clamping force on the winding tape, maintaining stable tension during the winding tape conveying process. When the support mechanism 170 moves, the winding tape remains taut due to the constraint of the clamping roller group 340, avoiding sliding friction between the winding tape and the surface of the carbon fiber tube 120 due to sudden tension changes.

[0060] In this embodiment, the tension adjustment is completed before the winding tape enters the winding area through the synergistic action of the two rollers of the clamping roller group 340, ensuring the uniformity of force at each stage of the winding process.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the outer surface of the clamping rollers may be provided with anti-slip textures, which abut against the winding tape to provide tension friction for the winding tape. The clamping roller group 340 may be equipped with a damping device, such as a magnetic powder brake, to adjust the tension of the clamping roller group 340 on the winding tape.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6For the support mechanism 170, there are two support mechanisms 170. The support mechanism 170 includes two support components 180. The two support components 180 are located on the radial horizontal sides of the carbon fiber tube 120 respectively. The support component 180 includes a translation module 190 and a support roller 200 rotatably disposed on the translation module 190. The translation module 190 can drive the support roller 200 to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube 120 in a direction that is horizontal and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding frame 140. The two support rollers 200 of the support mechanism 170 cooperate to support the carbon fiber tube 120.

[0063] This embodiment uses an independent support mechanism 170, which prevents the support mechanism 170 from moving with the winding mechanism 130 when supporting the carbon fiber tube 120. Compared to the traditional sliding support structure, the support roller 200 can roll to support the carbon fiber tube 120, reducing friction between the support mechanism 170 and the carbon fiber tube 120. This avoids scratching the surface of the carbon fiber tube 120 or pulling on the incompletely cured carbon fiber cloth on the carbon fiber tube 120, which would cause wrinkles in the carbon fiber cloth.

[0064] In this embodiment, two support components 180 are provided in the support mechanism 170. Each support component 180 includes a translation module 190 and a support roller 200 rotatably mounted on the translation module 190. The translation module 190 can drive the support roller 200 to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube 120 in a direction that is horizontal and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding frame 140. The two support rollers 200 of the support mechanism 170 cooperate to support the carbon fiber tube 120. It can be understood that when the winding mechanism 130 passes through the support mechanism 170, the translation module 190 can drive the support roller 200 away from the carbon fiber tube 120, so that the support mechanism 170 can actively retreat when the winding mechanism 130 passes by, thus eliminating mechanical interference.

[0065] In this embodiment, by setting two support mechanisms 170, it can be understood that when the winding mechanism 130 moves to the area where a certain support mechanism 170 is located, the two support components 180 of the support mechanism 170 drive the support rollers 200 to move horizontally away through the translation module 190, disengaging from contact with the carbon fiber tube 120, so as to avoid interfering with the movement path of the winding mechanism 130. At this time, the other set of support mechanisms 170 still maintains the support state to ensure the rotational stability of the carbon fiber tube 120. After the winding mechanism 130 passes, the retracted support components 180 reset and contact the carbon fiber tube 120 again, forming continuous dynamic support, thereby ensuring that at least one set of support mechanisms 170 provides stable support for the carbon fiber tube 120 at any time.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, a rubber layer 210 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the support roller 200, and the rubber layer 210 is used to abut against the carbon fiber tube 120.

[0067] This embodiment changes the physical properties of the contact surface by setting a rubber layer 210, thereby eliminating the negative impact of rigid contact while maintaining the stability of the support for the carbon fiber tube 120.

[0068] The rubber layer 210 refers to an elastic material layer that is applied to the outer surface of the support roller 200 through a vulcanization process. Specifically, it can be made of nitrile rubber or silicone rubber. The rubber layer 210 absorbs localized stress concentrations generated during the support process through its elastic deformation capacity, preventing surface damage caused by rigid contact.

[0069] Specifically, the rubber layer 210 undergoes elastic deformation when the supporting roller 200 comes into contact with the carbon fiber tube 120, forming a flexible contact interface.

[0070] In some specific embodiments, the translation module 190 includes a slide block 220 slidably disposed on the frame 100 and a first power member 230 for driving the slide block 220 to slide.

[0071] It is understood that in this embodiment, through the cooperation of the slide 220 and the first power component 230, the support roller 200 has an active avoidance function, forming a movable avoidance space on the travel path of the winding mechanism 130, while maintaining stable support for the carbon fiber tube 120.

[0072] Among them, the slide 220 refers to the rigid load-bearing structure that forms a sliding fit with the frame 100. Specifically, it can be achieved by using a linear guide rail and a slider. The slide 220 moves linearly along the extension direction of the guide rail, and its sliding trajectory is guaranteed by the installation accuracy of the guide rail, thereby avoiding lateral displacement of the support roller 200 during movement.

[0073] The first power component 230 refers to the actuator that can output linear driving force and control the displacement of the slide 220. Specifically, it can be implemented by a combination of a servo motor and a ball screw. The servo motor forms a closed-loop control through encoder feedback, which can accurately control the moving speed and stopping position of the slide 220, thereby ensuring that the support roller 200 and the carbon fiber tube 120 maintain a constant contact pressure.

[0074] Specifically, the slide 220 is connected to the nut of the ball screw. When the servo motor drives the ball screw, the nut will be converted into linear motion according to the lead of the corresponding specification as the screw rotates. The slide 220 can be connected to the nut through the nut seat to achieve the corresponding linear motion.

[0075] Specifically, the slide 220 is constrained to the frame 100 via a guide rail pair, retaining only a single degree of linear motion during the drive process. When the winding mechanism 130 moves axially along the carbon fiber tube 120, the first power component 230 drives the slide 220 to perform synchronous displacement according to a preset program or sensor signal, ensuring that the support roller 200 is always at a safe distance from the winding mechanism 130. After the winding mechanism 130 completes winding in a local area, the first power component 230 can reverse the direction to reset the slide 220, preventing structural interference caused by the support roller 200 being in a non-working position for an extended period. The rigid contact surface between the slide 220 and the guide rail can withstand the radial load generated when the carbon fiber tube 120 rotates, preventing the support assembly 180 from drifting due to vibration.

[0076] In some specific embodiments, the slide 220 includes a seat 240 slidably connected to the frame 100, a cantilever 250 disposed on the side of the seat 240 near the carbon fiber tube 120, and a support roller 200 disposed at the end of the cantilever 250 near the carbon fiber tube 120.

[0077] In this embodiment, the structural design of the combination of the seat 240 and the cantilever 250 makes the support roller 200 and the wrapping mechanism 130 staggered in space. At the same time, the suspended support structure of the cantilever 250 effectively isolates the movement path of the support component 180 and the wrapping mechanism 130, thereby further avoiding the movement path of the wrapping mechanism 130.

[0078] The base 240 refers to a rigid load-bearing component that slides with the frame 100. Specifically, it can be a metal block with linear guide rails or grooves. Its function is to provide a stable translational foundation for the cantilever 250 and prevent the support component 180 from shifting during movement.

[0079] The cantilever 250 refers to a support arm structure extending from the base 240 towards the carbon fiber tube 120. It can be implemented using a metal rod. Its function is to position the support roller 200 at a radially horizontal position on the carbon fiber tube 120, while simultaneously creating a spatial misalignment with the movement path of the winding mechanism 130. The support roller 200 being positioned at the end of the cantilever 250 closest to the carbon fiber tube 120 means that the roller is mounted at the end of the cantilever 250 and contacts the outer surface of the carbon fiber tube 120. This can be achieved using a rubber wheel with rolling bearings. Its function is to control the suspension of the support roller 200 via the cantilever 250, preventing the overlap of their movement trajectories.

[0080] Specifically, when the slide 220 moves horizontally along the frame 100, the seat 240 maintains the straightness of its translation trajectory through a sliding connection structure, and the cantilever 250 extends laterally from the seat 240 to both radially horizontal sides of the carbon fiber tube 120. The support roller 200 forms a symmetrical support point for the carbon fiber tube 120 at the end of the cantilever 250, and the suspended support of the support roller 200 by the cantilever 250 ensures that the support roller 200 and the winding mechanism 130 maintain a safe distance in the direction of movement.

[0081] In some specific embodiments, the first power component 230 includes a first motor 260 and a first screw 270. The first screw 270 is rotatably mounted on the frame 100 and is threadedly connected to the base 240. The first motor 260 is fixed on the frame 100 and is used to drive the first screw 270 to rotate. The rotation of the first screw 270 drives the base 240 to slide.

[0082] This embodiment eliminates the elastic deformation and gap accumulation error in the intermediate transmission links by combining screw drive and direct drive of motor, which helps to improve the accuracy of the movement trajectory of the support roller 200.

[0083] The first motor 260 refers to a power device that converts electrical energy into mechanical rotational motion. Specifically, it can be implemented using a stepper motor or a servo motor, and is used to precisely control the rotation angle and speed of the first screw 270.

[0084] The first screw 270 refers to a cylindrical transmission component with external threads, which can be implemented using a screw or a ball screw, converting rotary motion into linear motion through the threaded pair.

[0085] The base 240 refers to the load-bearing structure that is slidably connected to the frame 100. Specifically, it can be implemented using an aluminum alloy or steel slider. Its threaded hole cooperates with the first screw 270 to form a helical transmission pair, which is used to convert the rotation of the screw into its own linear displacement.

[0086] Specifically, after the first motor 260 starts, it drives the first screw 270 to rotate around its axis. The base 240 engages with the first screw 270 through its internal threads, generating horizontal linear displacement along the guide rail of the frame 100 during the screw's rotation. Due to the self-locking characteristic of the threaded pair, the base 240 automatically maintains its fixed position after the drive stops, avoiding displacement deviation caused by external forces. The rigid transmission structure of the first screw 270 eliminates the problem of discontinuous motion caused by belt slippage or air pressure fluctuations, ensuring that the support roller 200 maintains uniform linear motion during translation. By controlling the speed and direction of the first motor 260, the moving speed and direction of the base 240 can be precisely adjusted, ensuring that the support roller 200 maintains a constant contact pressure with the surface of the carbon fiber tube 120 when supporting it.

[0087] The first sensor 280 is located between the rotating mechanism 110 and a support mechanism 170 near the rotating mechanism 110. The first sensor 280 is electrically connected to a first motor 260 near the support mechanism 170. The first sensor 280 is used to sense the winding mechanism 130 and control the first motor 260 to drive the seat 240 to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube 120 so that the support mechanism 170 avoids the winding mechanism 130.

[0088] This embodiment achieves autonomous obstacle avoidance of the support mechanism 170 during the tape winding operation through the linkage control of the first sensor 280 and the first motor 260, thus solving the problem of equipment damage caused by mechanical interference.

[0089] The first sensor 280 is a sensor device used to detect the moving position of the wrapping mechanism 130. Specifically, it can be implemented by a photoelectric sensor or a proximity switch. Its installation position is located between the rotating mechanism 110 and the adjacent support mechanism 170, and it is used to monitor in real time whether the wrapping mechanism 130 enters the area.

[0090] The first motor 260 refers to the power device that drives the slide 220 to move horizontally. Specifically, it can be implemented by a servo motor or a stepper motor. By receiving the signal from the first sensor 280, it controls the slide 220 to drive the support roller 200 to move horizontally.

[0091] Specifically, when the winding mechanism 130 moves along the length of the carbon fiber tube 120 to the area near the support mechanism 170 of the rotating mechanism 110, the first sensor 280 detects the entry signal of the winding mechanism 130 and then sends a control command to the first motor 260. The first motor 260 drives the first screw 270 to rotate, causing the seat 240 to move outward along the sliding direction of the frame 100, causing the support roller 200 to disengage from the carbon fiber tube 120. After the winding mechanism 130 completes the winding operation in this area and leaves, the first sensor 280 detects the exit signal of the winding mechanism 130 and, through a delay, controls the first motor 260 to reverse its rotation, driving the seat 240 to return to its initial support position. During this process, the displacement of the support roller 200 is synchronized with the movement trajectory of the winding mechanism 130, thereby avoiding spatial interference between the support roller 200 and the winding mechanism 130.

[0092] The second sensor 290 is located between the two support mechanisms 170. The second sensor 290 is electrically connected to the first motor 260 of the support mechanism 170 located away from the rotating mechanism 110. The second sensor 290 is used to sense the winding mechanism 130 and control the first motor 260 to drive the seat 240 to move closer to and away from the carbon fiber tube 120 so that the support mechanism 170 avoids the winding mechanism 130.

[0093] In this embodiment, the second sensor 290 is linked with the first motor 260 to control the support mechanism 170 to dynamically avoid obstacles. When the wrapping mechanism 130 moves to the critical area, the support contact is actively released to eliminate the risk of mechanical interference.

[0094] The second sensor 290 is a sensor device that can detect the moving position of the wrapping mechanism 130. Specifically, it can be implemented by a photoelectric sensor or an infrared sensor. Its installation position is between the two support mechanisms 170 and can cover the moving path of the wrapping mechanism 130.

[0095] The first motor 260 refers to the power element that drives the slide 220 to move horizontally. Specifically, it can be implemented by a combination of a servo motor and a ball screw, and controls the lateral displacement of the slide 220 by receiving the electrical signal from the second sensor 290.

[0096] Specifically, when the winding mechanism 130 moves along the length of the carbon fiber tube 120 to the area between the two support mechanisms 170, the second sensor 290 detects the arrival signal of the winding mechanism 130 and then sends a control command to the first motor 260 of the support mechanism 170, which is away from the rotating mechanism 110. The first motor 260 drives the first screw 270 to rotate, causing the seat 240 to slide laterally along the frame 100, so that the support roller 200 moves outward with the cantilever 250 and disengages from the support contact with the carbon fiber tube 120. At this time, the winding mechanism 130 can pass through the area without obstruction, avoiding mechanical interference between the support roller 200 and the moving winding mechanism 130. After the winding mechanism 130 has completely passed through the area, the second sensor 290 detects the disengagement signal and, through a delay, controls the first motor 260 to reverse, causing the support roller 200 to return to the support position.
