Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically relating to an automatic tape applicator and cutter for automatically applying tape to the surface of a workpiece. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, it is often necessary to apply tape to various workpieces. The traditional manual tape application method requires cutting tape to a specific length and then applying it to a specific position on the workpiece. This is not only labor-intensive and costly, but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency, accuracy, and flatness of the tape application position. Problems such as wrinkles, air bubbles, and poor adhesion are common, often requiring rework and affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] To improve the automation level of tape application, various automatic tape application devices have been developed on the market. For example, an automatic double-sided tape application device disclosed in application number CN201811269934.X includes a feeding roller, a pressing roller, a take-up mechanism, and a cutting mechanism fixed on a three-axis slide. The device uses the three-axis slide to drive the pressing roller to press down along the Z-axis and move to the right along the X-axis to apply double-sided tape to the surface of the workpiece. After the tape has been applied to a set length, the pressing mechanism is activated to press the double-sided tape tightly, and the tape is torn off under the oblique motion of the Z-axis and X-axis of the three-axis slide.

[0004] Several problems exist in the aforementioned automatic double-sided tape application equipment and existing tape application equipment. First, there is a lack of reasonable layout for the tape conveying path and the workpiece conveying path, making it impossible to stably expose the surface of the workpiece to be covered with tape to the tape application area. Second, when the workpiece size changes or the tape application position is adjusted, each component on the tape application equipment needs to be individually calibrated before it can be used, resulting in poor versatility and inability to adapt to the production needs of different products. Finally, the pressure roller can only press the tape to adhere to the workpiece surface before the tape is cut. After the tape is cut, there is a lack of an independent and effective secondary pressing and smoothing mechanism. Using a "tear" method to cut the tape can easily cause the tape end to curl up, not adhere firmly, or fall off, affecting the final tape application quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the technical problems of existing automatic tape-applying equipment, such as poor versatility, lack of reasonable layout, and lack of secondary pressing and smoothing mechanism, which affect the tape application quality.

It can automatically apply tape to the surface of workpieces to ensure tape application quality and improve production efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic tape-applying and cutting machine, including a frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Rather, the present utility model covers any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of the present utility model as defined in the claims.

[0024] Furthermore, to provide the public with a better understanding of this utility model, certain specific details are described in detail in the following description. However, those skilled in the art can fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 The automatic tape applicator and cutter shown includes a frame, on which a workpiece conveying track is mounted via a first fixed bracket. The workpiece conveying track conveys workpieces along the X-axis, and at least one surface of the workpiece to be taped is exposed during the conveying process. When the automatic tape applicator and cutter automatically applies tape to the lower surface of the workpiece, the lower surface of the workpiece is the surface to be taped and is exposed; when the automatic tape applicator and cutter automatically applies tape to the upper surface of the workpiece, the upper surface of the workpiece is the surface to be taped and is exposed.

[0026] A tape conveyor track 2 is mounted on the frame via a second fixed bracket 1. The tape conveyor track 2 is located on one side of the workpiece conveyor track, and its conveying direction is parallel to that of the workpiece conveyor track, meaning it also conveys the tape along the X-axis. The exposed surface of the workpiece to be covered with tape, conveyed on the workpiece conveyor track, is located within the tape conveying space defined by the tape conveyor track 2. In this embodiment, the workpiece conveying space defined by the workpiece conveyor track and the tape conveying space defined by the tape conveyor track 2 overlap in the Z-axis direction. By strategically positioning the tape conveyor track 2 below or above one side of the workpiece conveyor track, tape application to the lower or upper surface of the workpiece can be achieved.

[0027] To accommodate the different adhesive application positions required by different workpieces, a first slide rail 15 is provided on the frame along the Y-axis, and a first slider 16 is provided on the second fixed frame 1. Through the sliding cooperation between the first slide rail 15 and the first slider 16, the horizontal position of the entire second fixed frame 1 and the tape conveying track 2 provided on it on the Y-axis can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the exposed surface of the workpiece to be adhesiveed in the tape conveying space, so as to determine the final adhesive application position.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the infeed end of the conveyor belt 2 is equipped with a conveyor belt feeding mechanism 3, and the discharge end of the conveyor belt 2 is equipped with a conveyor belt smoothing mechanism 5. Between the conveyor belt feeding mechanism 3 and the conveyor belt smoothing mechanism 5, there are conveyor belt pasting mechanism 8 and conveyor belt cutting mechanism 9. The above mechanisms cooperate sequentially on the conveyor belt path to form an automated and integrated production system that stably supplies the conveyor belt, pastes the workpiece and initially presses and smooths it, cuts it to a set length, and presses and smooths it again.

[0029] The tape feeding mechanism 3 includes a first roller 4 for supporting and mounting tape rolls, with the axis of the first roller 4 distributed along the Y-axis. To enable the first roller 4 to rotate and feed the tape, a bearing seat 17 is provided on the second fixed frame 1. The inner end of the first roller 4 is rotatably mounted in the bearing seat 17, and a tape limiting clamp 18 is provided on the outer end of the first roller 4. The tape roll can be placed on the tape limiting clamp 18 to determine the horizontal position of the tape roll in the Y-axis direction, corresponding to the surface of the workpiece to be covered with tape.

[0030] The tape application mechanism 8 includes a third roller 10, the outer surface of which is configured as a second contact surface 11 that contacts the tape. A second fixed frame 1 is provided with a first drive mechanism 12 for driving the third roller 10 to perform linear motion. The first drive mechanism 12 can be configured as a servo motor or a cylinder, and a first mounting plate 19 is provided on its output shaft. The third roller 10 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting plate 19, and the axis of the third roller 10 is distributed along the Y-axis direction.

[0031] The output shaft of the first drive mechanism 12 drives the first mounting plate 19 to move the third roller 10 linearly upward or downward along the Z-axis, contacting the tape and pressing it to adhere it to the lower or upper surface of the workpiece. During tape application, the workpiece is continuously moved by the workpiece conveyor track, and the third roller 10 rotates accordingly, simultaneously rolling the tape to ensure initial adhesion. After tape application, the tape is moved to the next station under the traction of the workpiece, namely the tape cutting mechanism 9, for cutting.

[0032] A tape clamping mechanism 20 is provided between the tape feeding mechanism 3 and the tape pasting mechanism 8. The tape clamping mechanism 20 includes a fourth roller 21 and a fifth roller 22 arranged opposite to each other. The axes of the fourth roller 21 and the fifth roller 22 are both distributed along the Y-axis. A gap 24 is formed between the fourth roller 21 and the fifth roller 22 for the tape to pass through. A second mounting plate 25 is provided on the second fixed frame 1, and the fourth roller 21 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate 25. A third drive mechanism 23 for driving the fifth roller 22 to move linearly toward the fourth roller 21 can be configured as a servo motor or a cylinder. In one embodiment, the third drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the second fixed frame 1. In another embodiment, the third drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the second mounting plate 25, and its output shaft drives along the Z-axis. A third mounting plate 26 is provided on the output shaft of the third drive mechanism 23, and the fifth roller 22 is rotatably mounted on the third mounting plate 26. The output shaft of the third drive mechanism 23 drives the third mounting plate 26 to move the fifth roller 22 in a straight line along the Z-axis toward the fourth roller 21, so as to adjust the size of the gap 24 and make it easier to clamp the tape.

[0033] The second mounting plate 25 is equipped with an air nozzle, with the air outlet facing the third material roller 10. The air inlet of the air nozzle is connected to an air pump through an air inlet pipe. The air nozzle can blow air onto the tape to prevent the tape from curling up.

[0034] The tape cutting mechanism 9 includes a cutter holder 28 mounted on a second fixed frame 1, a fixed cutter 29 mounted on the cutter holder 28, a movable cutter 13 opposite to the fixed cutter 29, and a second drive mechanism 14 for driving the movable cutter 13 to perform linear motion. The second drive mechanism 14 can be configured as a servo motor or a cylinder, mounted on the cutter holder 28, and its output shaft drives the tape along the Z-axis. A fourth mounting plate 31 is mounted on the output shaft of the second drive mechanism 14, and the movable cutter 13 is mounted on the fourth mounting plate 31. A sensor is also mounted on the cutter holder 28, and the sensor is electrically connected to the second drive mechanism 14.

[0035] A channel 30 is provided between the fixed cutter 29 and the movable cutter 13 for workpieces with adhesive tape to pass through. When a workpiece with adhesive tape passes through the channel 30, a sensor detects the completion of the workpiece's passage and sends a signal, causing the second drive mechanism 14 to drive the fourth mounting plate 31, which in turn moves the movable cutter 13 downwards. This movable cutter 13 then cooperates with the fixed cutter 29 to cut the tape to a specific length. To ensure the movement accuracy of the movable cutter 13, a second slide rail 32 is provided on the cutter holder 28 along the drive direction of the output shaft of the second drive mechanism 14, and a second slider 33 is provided on the fourth mounting plate 31. The second slide rail 32 and the second slider 33 slide in cooperation.

[0036] The tape smoothing mechanism 5 includes a second roller 6, the outer surface of which is configured as a first contact surface 7 that contacts the tape. A fifth mounting plate 34 is also provided on the cutter holder 28. The second roller 6 is rotatably mounted on the fifth mounting plate 34, and the axes of the second roller 6 are all distributed along the Y-axis. As the cut tape continues to move along the X-axis with the workpiece, the first contact surface 7 on the outer periphery of the second roller 6 generates rolling contact and pressing force on the moving tape, thereby smoothing and compacting the tape onto the workpiece surface, completing the entire tape application process.

[0037] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the present utility model, and these should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
