[0026] Example: See Figure 1This embodiment provides an automated system for packaging adhesive tape rolls, including a tape roll feeding and conveying system 1, a tape roll packaging system 2, and a tape roll unloading system 3 arranged in sequence; the tape roll packaging system 2 includes a tape roll circumferential packaging mechanism 4 and a tape roll end packaging mechanism 5 arranged in sequence; the tape roll circumferential packaging mechanism 4 is provided with a cardboard feeding mechanism 6 and / or a bubble wrap feeding mechanism 7 on its side; the tape roll end packaging mechanism 5 is provided with a sealing head feeding and feeding mechanism 8 on its side; it also includes a feeding robot 9, which is disposed between the tape roll feeding and conveying system 1 and the tape roll unloading system 3.

[0027] See Figure 2 The tape roll feeding and conveying system 1 includes a roller chain conveyor line 1.1, on which multiple conveyor platforms 1.2 are spaced apart; the roller chain conveyor line 1.1 is equipped with a tape roll diameter detection device, a tape roll width detection device, and a tape roll weighing platform 1.3.

[0028] Preferably, the spacing between two adjacent conveyor tables 1.2 is equal; setting multiple conveyor tables 1.2 can meet the needs of tape roll buffering, size detection and tape roll conveying, thereby improving the applicability of the system.

[0029] In this embodiment, the conveyor table 1.2 includes a support portion and a connecting portion arranged sequentially from top to bottom; the connecting portion is detachably connected to the roller chain conveyor line 1.1; the support portion is used to support materials. The detachable connection between the conveyor table 1.2 and the roller chain conveyor line 1.1 facilitates the replacement of conveyor tables 1.2 of different specifications according to different specifications of tape rolls, thereby improving the applicability of the system.

[0030] Preferably, the support portion is provided with a groove, which is preferably V-shaped. The groove is used to limit the tape roll placed on the support portion and prevent the tape roll from rolling off.

[0031] Both the tape roll diameter detection device and the tape roll width detection device employ distance detection components.

[0032] Preferably, the distance detection component includes a mounting bracket and a laser displacement sensor, wherein the laser displacement sensor is mounted on the roller chain conveyor 1.1 via the mounting bracket; in this embodiment, when it is necessary to measure the diameter of the tape roll, the laser displacement sensor is arranged radially toward the tape roll; when it is necessary to measure the width of the tape roll, the laser displacement sensor is arranged axially toward the tape roll.

[0033] The tape roll weighing platform 1.3 includes two sets of lifting and weighing assemblies symmetrically arranged on both sides of the roller chain conveyor line 1.1 along the tape roll transport path. Each lifting and weighing assembly includes a lifting mechanism and a weighing platform.

When material is conveyed to the weighing station, the two lifting mechanisms operate synchronously, driving the two weighing platforms to rise synchronously to weigh the tape roll conveyed to that station. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism uses a hydraulic cylinder.

[0034] The tape roll feeding and conveying system 1 provided in this embodiment can realize automatic feeding of tape rolls, reducing labor costs and work intensity. By setting up a tape roll diameter detection device, a tape roll width detection device and a tape roll weighing platform 1.3, online weighing and tape roll size detection can be realized, eliminating the need to set up separate weighing and size detection devices offline for tape roll weighing and size detection, reducing the number of handling operations and improving production efficiency.

[0035] See Figure 3 The feeding robot 9 includes a frame 9.1 and a moving component mounted on the frame 9.1. In this embodiment, the frame 9.1 adopts a truss structure, including two horizontal beams arranged parallel to each other along the X-axis, a connecting beam connecting the two horizontal beams, and multiple columns supporting the horizontal beams. The frame 9.1 is mounted above the tape roll circumferential packaging mechanism 4 and the tape roll end packaging mechanism 5, and the end of the frame 9.1 extends to the tape roll feeding conveying system 1 and the tape roll unloading system 3.

[0036] The mobile component includes a robot and an X-axis drive mechanism 9.2. One or more groups of robots are provided, and the multiple groups of robots are spaced apart and movably arranged on the frame 9.2. The X-axis drive mechanism 9.2 is arranged correspondingly to the robots. In this embodiment, there are two groups of robots, namely a first group of robots 9.3 and a second group of robots 9.4. The first group of robots 9.3 includes one robot and is located at the starting end of the frame 9.1. The second group of robots 9.4 includes two robots and is located at the middle and rear of the frame 9.1, respectively.

[0037] The robot includes a connecting arm 9.5, a Y-axis drive mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The connecting arm 9.5 is movably mounted on the frame 9.1 along the X-axis direction via the X-axis drive mechanism 9.2; the lifting mechanism is movably mounted on the connecting arm along the Y-axis direction via the Y-axis drive mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes two sets of lifting arms 9.6 and a Z-axis drive mechanism 9.7. The two sets of lifting arms 9.6 work together to clamp the tape roll. The lifting arms are mounted on the connecting arm 9.5 in a lifting manner along the Z-axis direction via the Z-axis drive mechanism 9.7. The lifting mechanism also includes a rotary drive mechanism 9.8 and an air shaft 9.9 disposed at the free end of the lifting arm. The rotary drive mechanism 9.8 is connected to the air shaft 9.9 to drive the air shaft 9.9 to rotate. Alternatively, the lifting mechanism in the robot located at the starting end of the frame 9.1 may also include a rotary drive mechanism 9.8 and an air shaft 9.9 disposed at the free end of the lifting arm. The rotary drive mechanism 9.8 is connected to the air shaft 9.9 to drive the air shaft 9.9 to rotate. The lifting mechanism in the robot located at other positions of the frame 9.1 may also include a spindle 9.10 disposed at the free end of the lifting arm.

[0038] In this embodiment, the tape roll is gripped by the air shaft 9.9 at the free end of the lifting arm; the mechanism for gripping the tape roll is not limited to the air shaft, and other gripping mechanisms, such as the electric shaft, can also be used.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism 9.8 is a rotary motor.

[0040] In this embodiment, the X-axis drive mechanism 9.2 includes a servo motor, an X-axis gear, and an X-axis rack. The X-axis rack is arranged on the crossbeam along the X-axis direction. The servo motor is mounted on the connecting arm 9.5. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the X-axis gear, and the X-axis gear is meshed with the X-axis rack.

[0041] In the first robot group 9.3, the Y-axis drive mechanism includes a Y-axis rack, two servo motors, and two Y-axis gears. The Y-axis rack is fixed to the connecting arm 9.5, and the two Y-axis gears mesh with the rack. The two servo motors are connected to the two Y-axis gears respectively. The two servo motors are respectively mounted on the two lifting arms 9.6. The Y-axis drive mechanism can control the movement of the two lifting arms 9.6 on the connecting arm 9.5, allowing them to synchronously center and grip the tape roll. It can also move different distances depending on the width offset of the tape roll, readjusting the centerline of the tape roll to align with the overall conveying centerline.

[0042] In the second group of robots 9.4, a centering frame is fixed in the middle of the connecting arm 9.5, which is located at the centerline of the entire conveying line. The Y-axis drive mechanism includes a servo motor, a synchronous belt, a main synchronous pulley, and two slave synchronous pulleys. The servo motor is mounted on the centering frame and connected to the main synchronous pulley. The two slave synchronous pulleys are rotatably mounted at both ends of the connecting arm 9.5. The synchronous belt connects the main synchronous pulley and the two slave synchronous pulleys. The lifting arm 9.6 is connected to the synchronous belt. In this embodiment, the servo motor drives the main synchronous pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous belt and the slave synchronous pulleys to rotate, thereby causing the two lifting arms 9.6 to move synchronously closer or further apart, thus achieving the clamping of the tape roll.

[0043] When the feeding robot 9 is in use, the first group of robots 9.3 is controlled to move along the X-axis direction by the X-axis drive mechanism 9.2, so that the lifting arm 9.6 moves above the tape roll feeding and conveying system 1. The height of the lifting arm 9.6 is controlled by the Z-axis drive mechanism 9.7, and the movement of the two lifting arms 9.6 in the Y-axis direction is controlled by the Y-axis drive mechanism, so that the lifting arms 9.6 are synchronously aligned, so that the air shaft 9.9 extends into the tape roll, clamps the tape roll, and moves it to the tape roll circumferential packaging mechanism 4. When packaging the tape roll circumferential surface, the air shaft 9.9 tightens the tape roll, and the rotation drive mechanism 9.8 drives the air shaft 9.9 to rotate, so that the entire tape roll rotates, realizing the packaging of the tape roll circumferential surface. Then the center line of the tape roll is readjusted to be aligned with the center line of the entire conveyor. Since the first group of robots 9.3 has already centered the tape roll, the robot in the middle is directly centered through the Y-axis drive mechanism and the centering frame. After the mandrel 9.10 extends into the inside of the tape roll, it lifts the tape roll and moves it to the tape roll end packaging mechanism 5 station for tape roll end packaging. After the tape roll end packaging is completed, the rear robot lifts the tape roll to the tape roll unloading system 3 station.

[0044] See Figure 4 The tape roll circumferential packaging mechanism 4 includes a packaging platform 4.1, a pressing mechanism 4.2, and a tape applicator 4.3. The packaging platform 4.1 is used to place cardboard or bubble wrap. The pressing mechanism 4.2 is located at the end of the packaging platform 4.1 and is used to press the cardboard or bubble wrap onto the tape roll. The tape applicator 4.3 cooperates with the pressing mechanism 4.2 to apply the cardboard or bubble wrap to the circumferential surface of the tape roll.

[0045] In this embodiment, the packaging platform 4.1 is a vacuum adsorption platform, and cardboard or bubble wrap is fixed to the upper surface of the packaging platform 4.1 by vacuum adsorption. A clamping mechanism 4.4 is slidably disposed on the outer side of the packaging platform 4.1, and the moving direction of the clamping mechanism 4.4 is towards the cardboard feeding mechanism 6 and / or the bubble wrap feeding mechanism 7; specifically, two parallel slide rails are arranged on both sides of the packaging platform 4.1, and the clamping mechanism 4.4 is slidably disposed on the slide rails; the clamping mechanism 4.4 includes a sliding base and a gripper, the sliding base being slidably disposed on the slide rails, and the gripper being disposed on the sliding base; in this embodiment, see... Figure 6 The grippers are provided in four sets, two of which are positioned toward the cardboard feeding mechanism for gripping the cardboard, and the other two are positioned toward the bubble wrap feeding mechanism for gripping the bubble wrap.

[0046] The pressing mechanism 4.2 includes a lifting roller and a pressing roller. The lifting roller is used to lift the cardboard or bubble wrap and press it against the circumferential surface of the tape roll. The pressing roller presses the front end of the cardboard or bubble wrap to increase the friction between the cardboard or bubble wrap and the circumferential surface of the tape roll.

[0047] The tape applicator 4.3 includes multiple sets of tape applicator heads 4.3.1 and a tape applicator base 4.3.2. The tape applicator base 4.3.2 is arranged along the axial direction of the tape roll, and the multiple sets of tape applicator heads 4.3.1 are slidably arranged on the tape applicator base 4.3.2 along the axial direction of the tape roll. In this embodiment, there are four sets of tape applicator heads 4.3.1. All four sets of tape applicator heads 4.3.1 can be used to apply tape circumferentially along the circumference of the tape roll, or the tape roll can be applied axially by moving the two sets of tape applicator heads 4.3.1 in the middle along the axial direction of the tape roll, and the two sets of tape applicator heads 4.3.1 at both ends are used to apply tape circumferentially along the circumference of the tape roll.

[0048] When the tape roll circumferential packaging mechanism 4 is operating, the first robotic arm 9.3 lifts the tape roll from the roller chain conveyor line 1.1 to the packaging position. The pressing mechanism 4.2 presses the cardboard or bubble wrap onto the circumferential surface of the tape roll. The tape applicator 4.3 applies the end of the tape to the circumferential surface of the tape roll and attaches the cardboard or bubble wrap tightly. Under the action of the rotation drive mechanism 9.8 of the first robotic arm 9.3, the tape roll rotates in a specified direction. Under the restraint of the pressing roller, the cardboard or bubble wrap is fed under the tape roll as it rotates, and together with the tape, it is attached tightly to the circumferential surface of the tape roll to achieve packaging of the tape roll circumferential surface.

[0049] See Figure 5The cardboard feeding mechanism 6 includes a transport trolley 6.1, a mounting frame 6.2, a picking mechanism, and a conveying mechanism 6.3; the mounting frame 6.2 is located on the side of the packaging platform 4.1 and is a hollow cuboid frame; the transport trolley 6.1 is mounted on a running track 6.4, which is located on the side of the mounting frame 6.2 away from the packaging platform 4.1.

The material transfer mechanism 6.3 is mounted on the lifting frame to transport the cardboard to the next process position. The transverse component 6.5 is horizontally movably mounted on the lifting frame and located above the material transfer mechanism 6.7.

The lifting frame is U-shaped, and slide rails for horizontal movement of the moving rod are provided on the relatively inner sides of the two side flanges of the lifting frame.

[0052] The suction cup assembly 6.7 includes a connecting tube, a suction cup, and a vacuum generator. The connecting tube is mounted on a moving rod and connects the suction cup and the vacuum generator. The negative pressure provided by the vacuum generator allows the suction cup to adhere to the cardboard, thus enabling the picking up of individual pieces of cardboard.

[0053] The material transfer mechanism 6.3 adopts a belt conveyor, and the conveying direction of the belt conveyor is towards the packaging platform 4.1; the belt conveyor transports the cardboard to the designated position, and the clamping mechanism 4.4 clamps the cardboard and sends it to the packaging position.

[0054] During the loading operation, the transport trolley 6.1 transports the cardboard stacks of the corresponding specifications along the running track 6.4 to the picking position of the mounting frame 6.2. The lifting frame is raised to the highest point by the lifting component 6.6 (the height of the lifting frame can also be adjusted according to the height of the cardboard stack). The suction cup component 6.7 is driven to move above the cardboard stack by the transverse component 6.5. The height of the suction cup component 6.7 is adjusted to pick up the cardboard and transfer it to the belt conveyor.
