Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of counting equipment technology, specifically to a tape meter. Background Technology
[0002] Veneer materials are widely used in industries such as furniture manufacturing and interior decoration. Accurately measuring the length of veneer materials is crucial for controlling material costs and ensuring the accuracy of production processes. However, existing metering devices have many shortcomings when measuring veneer materials. Traditional meter counters often use simple roller contact measurement, which, due to the soft texture and smooth surface of veneer materials, easily slips between the roller and the material, leading to significant measurement errors. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a tape counter that can firmly and stably press and fix the tape material after it is released through a pressing component, which greatly improves the accuracy and stability of the counting performance of the tape counter.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tape-covering meter, including a mounting frame, a meter-counting roller rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, and a clamping component mounted on the mounting frame above the meter-counting roller. The clamping component can press the tape-covering material onto the meter-counting roller. This utility model can achieve a firm and stable clamping and fixing operation on the tape-covering material after it has been released by the clamping component mounted on the mounting frame, which can ensure the accuracy and stability of the meter-counting operation and make the operation more convenient and efficient.
[0005] The clamping assembly includes a telescopic push rod mounted on a mounting bracket, and a clamping plate is provided at the output end of the telescopic push rod.
[0006] The telescopic push rod is an electric push rod, which is an electric telescopic component equipped with a storage battery.
[0007] An encoder is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the encoder is connected to the rotating shaft of the metering roller via a drive mechanism.
[0008] The outer circumference of the metering roller is provided with an anti-slip rubber layer, which can effectively increase the friction between the roller and the lining material.
[0009] The tape timer also includes a controller and a display screen. The encoder is electrically connected to the controller, the controller is electrically connected to the display screen, and the telescopic push rod is electrically connected to the controller.
[0010] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0011] 1. High-precision measurement guarantee: This utility model can significantly increase the friction between the measuring roller and the coating material by using the anti-slip rubber layer on the outer periphery of the measuring roller. In conjunction with the encoder, it can accurately record the number of rotations of the measuring roller. Then, through the precise calculation of the single-chip microcomputer controller, the measurement error caused by slippage is effectively eliminated, ensuring that the measurement data is accurate and reliable, and providing accurate material length data for the production process.
[0012] 2. Stable and reliable clamping and fixing: This utility model can precisely drive the clamping plate to clamp the skin material through the electric push rod in the clamping assembly under the control of the controller.

[0014] 4. Intelligent and controllable clamping: This utility model can precisely adjust the pressure of the clamping plate according to the characteristics of the veneer material through the electric push rod under the control of the controller. This can prevent slippage and avoid excessive clamping that could damage the material, thus ensuring the integrity of the veneer material during the measurement process. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-3The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown: This embodiment provides a tape-covering meter, including a mounting frame 100, a meter-counting roller 200 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 100, and a pressing component 300 mounted on the mounting frame 100. The pressing component 300 is located above the meter-counting roller 200 and can press the tape-covering material onto the meter-counting roller 200. This utility model can achieve a firm and stable pressing and fixing operation on the tape-covering material after it is released by the pressing component 300 mounted on the mounting frame 100, which can ensure the accurate and stable performance of the meter-counting technology and make the operation more convenient and efficient.
[0021] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the clamping assembly 300 includes a telescopic push rod 301 mounted on the mounting bracket 100. The output rod end of the telescopic push rod 301 is provided with a clamping plate 302. This utility model can push the clamping plate 302 towards the side of the tape near the outside of the meter counter by extending the output rod of the telescopic push rod 301 until it is clamped and fixed. This greatly improves the stability of the tape material after the meter counter is fully released. It can also prevent the tape material from breaking off due to its own tension after the meter counter cuts it, making it safer and more stable.
[0022] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, telescopic push rod 301 is an electric push rod, which is an electric telescopic component equipped with a battery. Telescopic push rod 301 adopts an electric push rod, specifically model JEA-06 electric telescopic component. This electric push rod has a built-in 12V, 20Ah battery and features stable stroke and adjustable thrust.
[0023] An encoder 400 is mounted on the mounting bracket 100. The encoder 400 is connected to the rotating shaft of the measuring roller 200. The encoder 400 is model E6B2-CWZ6C. It is connected to the rotating shaft of the measuring roller 200 via a synchronous belt drive. This utility model can accurately record the number of rotations of the measuring roller 200 through the encoder 400.
[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the metering roller 200 is provided with an anti-slip rubber layer. This utility model can effectively increase the friction between the roller and the veneer material through the anti-slip rubber layer.
[0025] The tape-applying timer also includes a controller 500 and a display screen. An encoder 400 is electrically connected to the controller 500, and the controller 500 is electrically connected to the display screen. The controller 500 uses an STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller, and the display screen is a TFT-2.4-inch 320×240 color LCD screen. The encoder 400 is electrically connected to the controller 500, and the controller 500 calculates the tape-applying material length based on the signal transmitted from the encoder 400 and transmits the data to the display screen for display. The telescopic push rod 301 is electrically connected to the controller 500, and the extension and retraction of the telescopic push rod 301 can be controlled by the controller 500.
[0026] How to use this utility model:
[0027] First, it needs to be clarified that the meter counter involved in this utility model is mainly used for precise cutting and counting of veneer for building materials. This utility model takes the cutting of veneer as an example to describe its usage in detail. When it is necessary to cut the veneer, the veneer material is fed between the meter counting roller 200 and the pressure plate 302. The operator sends a command to the electric push rod JEA-06 through the controller 500 to set its extension amount. After receiving the signal, the electric push rod is powered by the built-in battery and drives the output rod to extend, pushing the pressure plate 302 towards the veneer material on the outside of the meter counting roller 200 until the veneer material is firmly pressed onto the meter counting roller 200.
[0028] Driven by the conveyor power of the coating material, the measuring roller 200 begins to rotate. Because the anti-slip rubber layer on the outer circumference of the measuring roller 200 is in close contact with the coating material and has high friction, the rotation of the measuring roller 200 accurately reflects the distance the coating material has traveled. As the measuring roller 200 rotates, it drives the encoder 400's shaft to rotate synchronously via a timing belt. The encoder 400 converts the number of rotations into pulse signals and transmits them to the controller 500.
[0029] The controller 500 pre-stores parameters such as the circumference of the measuring roller 200. After receiving the pulse signal from the encoder 400, it accurately calculates the length of the veneer material movement according to the calculation program and sends the calculation result to the color LCD screen for display in real time. During the measurement process, if the operator finds that the veneer material is not properly pressed, they can adjust the extension and retraction of the electric push rod through the controller 500 at any time to change the pressure of the pressing plate 302, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement and the integrity of the veneer material.
[0030] The usage method is as follows:
[0031] First, install the equipment: According to the production site layout, firmly fix the mounting frame 100 in the corresponding position of the bonding material conveying equipment, ensuring that the axis of the metering roller 200 is perpendicular to the bonding material conveying direction, and that the bonding material can smoothly pass between the metering roller 200 and the pressure plate 302. Check the rotation flexibility of the metering roller 200 to ensure there is no jamming; test the extension and retraction function of the electric push rod to ensure it can extend and retract smoothly; confirm that the synchronous belt drive connection between the encoder 400 and the metering roller 200 is firm, without slippage or misalignment.
[0032] Next, perform wiring connections and debugging: Connect the encoder 400, electric actuator, controller 500, and display screen correctly in sequence according to the electrical connection diagram. Fully charge the electric actuator's battery and turn on the device power. Enter the controller 500's settings interface, input the accurate circumference parameter of the metering roller 200, and perform system initialization calibration. Test whether the display screen can display data normally. Operate the electric actuator through the controller 500 to check whether its extension and retraction are responsive and accurate, ensuring the entire electrical control system is operating normally.
[0033] Next, prepare for the measurement: Based on the thickness, texture, and other characteristics of the veneer material to be measured, set the initial extension / retraction amount of the electric push rod on the controller 500 to lower the pressure plate 302 to a suitable height. Smoothly introduce the veneer material between the metering roller 200 and the pressure plate 302, adjust the position of the veneer material to ensure it is centered on the metering roller 200 and laid flat, and check the contact between the pressure plate 302 and the veneer material again to ensure the accuracy of the starting position for measurement.
[0034] Then, the length is measured: the veneer material conveying equipment is started, the veneer material begins to move and drives the metering roller 200 to rotate, and the display screen updates the length data of the veneer material in real time. During the measurement process, the operator continuously observes the changes in the data on the display screen and the pressing status of the veneer material. If abnormal fluctuations in the measurement data are found, or if the veneer material shows signs of slippage, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod is immediately adjusted through the controller 500 to increase or decrease the pressure of the pressing plate 302 until the measurement returns to normal.
[0035] After all the veneer material has passed through the meter counter and the measurement is complete, record the final length data on the display screen. Turn off the power to the veneer material conveying equipment and the meter counter. Control the electric push rod to retract via controller 500, raise the pressure plate 302, and carefully remove the veneer material. Regularly clean and maintain the equipment, check the tightness of all component connections, and remove any remaining veneer debris and other impurities from the meter counter rollers 200 and the pressure plate 302 to ensure good performance for the next use.
[0036] This invention utilizes an electric push rod in the clamping assembly 300, under the control of the controller 500, to precisely drive the clamping plate 302 to clamp the adhesive material. This not only prevents the adhesive material from slipping during measurement but also effectively overcomes the adhesive material's own tension after the meter counter has released and cut it, preventing the material from breaking off and ensuring operational safety. Simultaneously, it improves the stability of the adhesive material's fixation, ensuring a smooth measurement process.
[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
