[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0020] This application discloses a tape machine.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tape machine includes a base 1, on which an unwinding device, a material handling device, a conveying device, and a cutting device are provided. The unwinding device is used to unwind tape 24. The material handling device includes a fixing unit for fixing the free end of tape 24 and a clamping unit for clamping the free end of tape 24. The conveying device is used to drive the clamping unit to reciprocate. The cutting device is used to cut tape 24 after it has moved a preset distance. In this embodiment, insulating tape 24 is used as an example for illustration. Therefore, when the tape 24 needs to be cut, the tape 24 is unwound by the unwinding device. In the initial state, the fixing unit fixes the free end of the tape 24. After the clamping unit clamps the free end of the tape 24, the fixing unit releases the fixing of the tape 24. The conveying device is started to drive the clamping unit to move a preset distance, and the cutting device is started to cut the tape 24, thereby realizing the automated cutting of the tape 24. The length of the tape 24 can be controlled each time, improving the consistency of the tape 24 cutting, reducing labor costs, saving time and effort, and improving production efficiency.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The unwinding device includes an unwinding frame 2 mounted on a base 1, with an unwinding drum 3 rotatably connected to the unwinding frame 2. Rotary shafts are located at both ends of the unwinding drum 3, and rolls of tape 24 are fitted onto the outer edge of the unwinding drum 3. The rotating shafts can be rotatably connected to the unwinding frame 2 via bearings. A rotating hole 29 matching the size of the rotating shaft can also be formed in the unwinding frame 2. An inclined groove 30 is formed on the wall of the rotating hole 29, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected within the rotating hole 29. The operator can remove the rotating shaft from the inclined groove 30 to replace the rolls of tape 24 on the unwinding drum 3.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing unit includes a support base 4 and a fixing frame 5 mounted on a base 1. A first fixing part 6 is provided on the support base 4, and a lifting cylinder 31 is mounted on the fixing frame 5. A mounting frame 32 is mounted on the output end of the lifting cylinder 31. A second fixing part 7 is mounted on the mounting frame 32. The free end of the tape 24 is fixed by pressing against the first fixing part 6 and the second fixing part 7. In this embodiment, the first fixing part 6 can be bolted to two opposing first fixing blocks 25 on the support base 4, with the tape 24 positioned between the two first fixing blocks 25. The second fixing part 7 can be bolted to two opposing second fixing blocks 26 on the mounting frame 32. Several anti-slip grooves 27 are respectively formed on the opposing surfaces of the first fixing blocks 25 and the second fixing blocks 26. The anti-slip grooves 27 increase friction and reduce the possibility of the free end of the tape 24 shifting. Therefore, the lifting cylinder 31 is activated, which drives the two second fixing blocks 26 at the output end of the lifting cylinder 31 to press down. The two second fixing blocks 26 are respectively set to correspond to the two first fixing blocks 25, so that the free end of the tape 24 is pressed between the first fixing block 25 and the second fixing block 26.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A guide post 8 is installed on the surface of the support base 4 away from the base 1. A guide hole 9 matching the size of the guide post 8 is opened on the surface of the mounting bracket 32 ​​facing the base 1. The guide post 8 is slidably connected in the guide hole 9. In this embodiment, during the process of the lifting cylinder 31 driving the mounting bracket 32 ​​to reciprocate, the guide post 8 is always inserted in the guide hole 9. The guide hole 9 and the guide post 8 cooperate to form a vertical sliding guide structure, which improves the stability of the mounting bracket 32 ​​during the lifting process and improves the accuracy of the alignment between the second fixing block 26 and the first fixing block 25.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The clamping unit includes a clamping frame 10 mounted on a base 1. A finger cylinder 11 is mounted on the clamping frame 10. Clamping blocks 12 are bolted to two slides parallel to the finger cylinder 11. Anti-slip protrusions 28 are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two clamping blocks 12. The free end of the tape 24 is pressed against the two clamping blocks 12 to achieve clamping. The anti-slip protrusions 28 increase the friction between the clamping blocks 12 and the tape 24, thereby improving the stability of the clamping blocks 12 in clamping the tape 24.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 1 is provided with a material picking area 15, and the clamping frame 10 is equipped with a rotary cylinder 13. The finger cylinder 11 is located at the output end of the rotary cylinder 13. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the rotary cylinder 13 is 180°. After the cutting device cuts the tape 24, the rotary cylinder 13 drives the finger cylinder 11 to rotate to the material picking area 15. In this embodiment, the operator is located on the side of the base 1 away from the unwinding frame 2 and picks up the material from the material picking area 15. A distance sensor 14 is installed in the material picking area 15 of the base 1. When the rotary cylinder 13 drives the finger cylinder 11 to rotate to the material picking area 15, and the detection end of the distance sensor 14 is covered by the tape 24, the distance measured by the distance sensor 14 is shorter. At this time, the distance sensor 14 sends a signal to the control terminal, and the control terminal controls the material picking device, conveying device and cutting device to stop. When the sensing end of the distance sensor 14 is not covered by the tape 24, the distance measured by the distance sensor 14 is longer. At this time, the distance sensor 14 sends a signal to the control terminal, and the control terminal controls the material picking device, conveying device and cutting device to start again.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The conveying device includes a first telescopic cylinder 18 bolted to the base 1. Telescopic cylinders with different strokes can be replaced according to the length of the tape 24 to be cut. A clamping frame 10 is located at the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 18. A guide rail 16, parallel to the telescopic cylinder, is bolted to the base 1. A guide block 17, matching the size of the guide rail 16, is slidably connected to the guide rail 16. The clamping frame 10 is mounted on the guide block 17. The guide rail 16 limits the movement direction of the guide block 17, improving the stability of the clamping frame 10 during movement. An adjusting seat 19 is bolted to the base 1. An adjusting rod is threaded through and connected to the adjusting seat 19. The clamping frame 10 is located between the first telescopic cylinder 18 and the adjusting rod. When the guide block 17 moves to the end of the guide rail 16 away from the unwinding frame 2, the end of the adjusting rod facing the clamping frame 10 contacts the clamping frame 10. Therefore, the operator can adjust the distance between the end of the adjusting rod facing the clamping frame 10 and the adjusting frame according to the required cutting length of the tape 24, and start the first telescopic cylinder 18. This will cause the clamping frame 10 at the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 18 to extend. When the clamping frame 10 contacts the adjusting rod, the adjusting rod will block the clamping frame 10, and the first telescopic cylinder 18 will stop extending, thus determining the cutting length of the tape 24.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cutting device includes a second telescopic cylinder 20 mounted on a base 1. The output end of the second telescopic cylinder 20 is bolted to a cutting frame 21. The cutting frame 21 has a mounting groove 22. A cutting blade 23 matching the size of the mounting groove 22 is inserted into the mounting groove 22. In this embodiment, the cutting blade 23 is a utility knife with adjustable length that can be broken in related technologies. The mounting groove 22 limits the position of the cutting blade 23, reducing the possibility of the cutting blade 23 shifting position. The tape 24 is located between the cutting blade 23 and the first telescopic cylinder 18. The cutting direction of the cutting blade 23 is perpendicular to the length direction of the tape 24. A top rod is threaded through and connected to the cutting frame 21. The end of the top rod facing the cutting blade 23 is pressed against the cutting blade 23. The top rod further limits the position of the cutting blade 23, reducing the possibility of the cutting blade 23 shaking during the cutting process and improving the cutting quality.

[0029] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to cut the tape 24, the lifting cylinder 31 is activated, which drives the two second fixing blocks 26 at the output end of the lifting cylinder 31 to press down. The two second fixing blocks 26 are respectively set with the two first fixing blocks 25, and the free end of the tape 24 is pressed between the first fixing blocks 25 and the second fixing blocks 26. The first telescopic cylinder 18 is activated, which drives the clamping frame 10 at the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 18 to move toward the unwinding frame 2. When the clamping frame 10 moves to the free end of the tape 24, the parallel finger cylinder 11 is activated, which drives the two slides of the parallel finger cylinder 11 to move relative to each other to clamp the free end of the tape 24. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 31 is activated again, which drives the two second fixing blocks 26 at the output end of the lifting cylinder 31 to rise and release the fixing of the tape 24. The first telescopic cylinder 18 is activated again, which drives the clamping frame 10 at the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 18 to move toward the direction away from the unwinding frame 2, and pulls the tape 24 out a preset distance. Then, the second telescopic cylinder 20 is activated, driving the cutting blade 23 at its output end to cut the tape 24. The cutting direction of the cutting blade 23 is perpendicular to the length direction of the tape 24, cutting tape 24 to a preset distance. Next, the rotary cylinder 13 is activated, driving the finger cylinder 11 to hold the cut tape 24 and rotate 180° to the material handling area 15. Then, the parallel finger cylinder 11 is activated again, causing its two slides to move in opposite directions to release the free end of the tape 24. At this point, the tape 24 adheres to the clamping block 12 below due to its own adhesiveness, and the tape 24 covers... When the sensing end of the distance sensor 14 is covered, the distance sensor 14 transmits a signal to the control terminal. The control terminal then stops the material handling device, conveying device, and cutting device. After the operator removes the tape 24 from the clamp block 12, the sensing end of the distance sensor 14 is no longer covered by the tape 24. At this time, the distance sensor 14 transmits a signal to the control terminal, which then restarts and resets the material handling device, conveying device, and cutting device to perform the next round of cutting. This achieves automated cutting of the tape 24 while controlling the length of the tape 24 each time it is cut, improving the consistency of tape 24 cutting, reducing labor costs, saving time and effort, and improving production efficiency.
