Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slip ring technology, and in particular to a slip ring assembly for a tape wrapping machine. Background Technology

[0002] Slip rings, also known as conductor rings, current collectors, or collector rings, are used in any electromechanical system that requires continuous rotation while transmitting power and signals from a fixed position to a rotating position. Slip rings improve system performance, simplify system structure, and prevent wires from twisting during rotation.

[0003] In the modern packaging industry, strapping machines are key pieces of equipment, undertaking the important task of bundling and packaging goods. The slip ring, as the core component within the strapping machine that enables the transmission of electrical power and data signals between relatively rotating parts, directly affects the machine's efficiency and stability. However, due to the relatively large diameter of the slip ring, its surface is prone to wobbling during rotation. With increased use, the gap between the slip ring and the cover plate gradually widens, causing the slip ring to bounce inside the cover plate during rotation, thus affecting its stability.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new slip ring assembly for a tape machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a slip ring assembly for a tape wrapping machine that increases slip ring stability and prevents slip ring jumping.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a tape-making machine slip ring assembly comprising: a rotating shaft, a slip ring mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft, a first end cover and a second end cover respectively provided at both ends of the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the interior of the first end cover and the second end cover; a first cover plate is fixed to the side wall of the first end cover by multiple bolts, a second cover plate is fixed to the side wall of the second end cover by multiple bolts, multiple rollers are rotatably connected to the interior of the first end cover and the second end cover, the rollers being arranged in a ring and abutting against the side wall of the rotating shaft; multiple bearing seats are installed inside the first cover plate and the second cover plate, and the rollers are rotatably connected to the interior of the bearing seats.

[0007] Preferably, the sidewall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a rack in an annular shape, and the rack and the slip ring are distributed on both sides of the rotating shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the sidewalls of the first cover plate, the first end cover, the second end cover, the second cover plate, the rotating shaft, and the collector ring are provided with notches.

[0009] Preferably, rubber strips are installed on the sidewalls of the first cover plate, the first end cover, the second end cover, and the second cover plate, and the rubber strips abut against the sidewalls of the rotating shaft and the slip ring.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the rubber strip has a "V" shape, and multiple balls are rolled inside the rubber strip, with the balls slidably connected to the rotating shaft and the sidewall of the slip ring.

[0011] Compared with related technologies, the slip ring assembly for the wrapping machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model provides a slip ring assembly for a tape-making machine. During the rotation of the shaft, both ends of the shaft rotate inside the first end cover and the second end cover, respectively. Multiple rollers are installed inside both the first and second end covers, arranged in a ring to abut against the steps of the shaft. This provides rotational support for both ends of the shaft and ensures the rollers contact the surface of the shaft, preventing it from jumping. Furthermore, the electrical components installed inside the shaft cavity are electrically connected to the slip ring. Carbon brushes are installed on the surface of the slip ring. Signals transmitted by the electrical components are transmitted through the slip ring to the carbon brushes, and then from the carbon brushes to other connected electrical components. This achieves continuity and stability in the transmission of various signals and power during the operation of the tape-making machine. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] Please see Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the slip ring assembly for a wrapping machine provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the second end cap. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the second cover plate. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the internal structure of the first end cap. Figure 5 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the internal structure of the rotating shaft. A slip ring assembly for a tape-making machine includes a rotating shaft 3, with a slip ring 4 mounted on its surface. A first end cap 2 and a second end cap 6 are respectively disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the interiors of the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 6. A first cover plate 1 is fixed to the side wall of the first end cap 2 by multiple bolts 11, and a second cover plate 7 is fixed to the side wall of the second end cap 6 by multiple bolts 11. Multiple rollers 9 are rotatably connected inside the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 6, and the rollers 9 are arranged in a ring shape and abut against the side wall of the rotating shaft 3. Multiple bearing seats 10 are installed inside the first cover plate 1 and the second cover plate 7, and the rollers 9 are rotatably connected inside the bearing seats 10. During the rotation of the shaft 3, both ends of the shaft 3 rotate inside the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 6, respectively. Multiple rollers 9 are installed inside both the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 6. These rollers 9 are arranged in a ring and abut against the steps of the shaft 3, providing rotational support for both ends of the shaft 3 and ensuring the rollers 9 contact the surface of the shaft 3 to prevent it from jumping. Furthermore, the electrical components installed inside the shaft 3 are electrically connected to the collector ring 4. The collector ring 4 consists of an insulating ring 41 and a copper ring 42. The copper ring 42 is fixed to the surface of the insulating ring 41, which is connected to the shaft 3. The surface of the copper ring 42 contacts the carbon brush. Signals transmitted by the electrical components are transmitted through the collector ring 4 to the carbon brush, and then from the carbon brush to other connected electrical components, thus achieving continuity and stability of various signals and power transmission during the operation of the tape-making machine.

[0016] The sidewall of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the rack 8 in an annular shape. The rack 8 and the slip ring 4 are distributed on both sides of the rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 3 is connected to the power transmission device of the tape wrapping machine through the rack 8, thereby driving the rack 8 and the rotating shaft 3 to rotate.

[0017] The first cover plate 1, the first end cover 2, the second end cover 6, the second cover plate 7, the rotating shaft 3, and the collector ring 4 are provided with notches 5 on their side walls. In order to place items such as coils that need to be packaged inside the rotating shaft 3 through the notches 5, it is convenient to package the items. In addition, the notches 5 reduce the circulating current on the surface of the rotating shaft 3 and the collector ring 4.

[0018] Rubber strips 12 are installed on the side walls of the first cover plate 1, the first end cover 2, the second end cover 6, and the second cover plate 7. The rubber strips 12 abut against the side walls of the rotating shaft 3 and the collector ring 4. The rubber strips 12 fill the gap between the rotating shaft 3 and the end cover to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the end cover.

[0019] One end of the rubber strip 12 has a "V" shape. Multiple balls 13 are rolled inside the rubber strip 12, and the balls 13 are slidably connected to the sidewalls of the rotating shaft 3 and the collector ring 4. The elastic rubber strip 12 pushes the balls 13 to always keep them against the sidewalls of the rotating shaft 3 or the collector ring 4. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 and the collector ring 4, the rolling of the balls 13 reduces the resistance to the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 and the collector ring 4. At the same time, the multiple balls 13 squeeze the sidewalls of the rotating shaft 3 and the collector ring 4, increasing the stability of the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 and preventing the rotating shaft 3 from shifting during rotation.

[0020] The working principle of the slip ring assembly for the tape wrapping machine provided by this utility model is as follows: The first cover plate 1 is fixed to the side wall of the first end cover 2 by the bolt 11, and the second cover plate 7 is fixed to the side wall of the second end cover 6 by the bolt 11, thus sealing the interior of the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 6, and fixing the roller 9 inside the end cover. One end of the rotating shaft 3 is placed inside the first end cover 2, and the other end of the rotating shaft 3 is placed inside the second end cover 6. During this process, the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 6 are slid to bring them closer together, and the rubber strip 12 is compressed and pressed tightly against the side wall of the rotating shaft 3 and the slip ring 4. During installation, the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 6 are placed on the stator flange of the tape wrapping machine, and then the end cover is fixed to the stator flange with bolts. The rubber strip 12 is compressed and pushes the roller 13 to press tightly against the side wall of the rotating shaft 3 and the slip ring 4. During use, the rack 8 connects the rotating shaft 3 to the power transmission device of the tape wrapping machine, causing the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The rotating shaft 3 drives the rollers 9 to rotate. Multiple rollers 9 are arranged in a ring and abut against the step of the rotating shaft 3, providing rotational support for both ends of the rotating shaft 3 and ensuring that the rollers 9 abut against the surface of the rotating shaft 3 to prevent the rotating shaft 3 from jumping. Furthermore, the electrical components installed in the cavity of the rotating shaft 3 are electrically connected to the slip ring 4. Carbon brushes are installed on the surface of the slip ring 4. The signals transmitted by the electrical components are transmitted to the carbon brushes after passing through the slip ring, and then transmitted to other connected electrical components by the carbon brushes. This achieves the continuity and stability of various signals and power transmission during the operation of the tape wrapping machine. During the rotation of the shaft 3 and the slip ring 4, the rolling balls 13 reduce the resistance to the rotation of the shaft 3 and the slip ring 4. At the same time, the multiple rolling balls 13 press against the sidewalls of the shaft 3 and the slip ring 4, further increasing the stability of the rotation of the shaft 3 and preventing the shaft 3 from shifting during the rotation.

[0021] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
