[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Prior to this, the terms and words used in the specification and claims are not to be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but are to be interpreted as having meanings and concepts corresponding to the technical ideas of the present invention, in accordance with the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concepts of terms himself / herself in order to best describe the invention.

[0025] Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiment described in this specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent the entire technical idea of ​​the present invention, and that there may be various equivalent and modified embodiments that can be substituted for them at the time of this application.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall shape of a jig apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a coating module 100 arranged in the jig apparatus 10 of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a cutting module 200 arranged in the jig apparatus 10 of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a taping module 300 arranged in the jig apparatus 10 of FIG. 1.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the illustrated X-axis direction may refer to the horizontal direction of the workpiece P described later, the Y-axis direction may refer to the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P (the direction in which work progresses) that is perpendicular to the X-axis direction on the horizontal plane (XY plane), and the Z-axis direction may refer to the up-down direction that is perpendicular to both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0028] 1 to 4, a jig apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a coating module 100, a cutting module 200, and a taping module 300.

[0029] The coating module 100 may be configured to coat a coating material (not shown, e.g., paint) on an outer surface of the workpiece P. In one embodiment, the workpiece P may be a pipe, a tube, a cable, or the like. The workpiece P may also be used in a battery pack including at least one secondary battery. The workpiece P may be supplied to the jig device 10 at a constant speed via a separate workpiece supply device (not shown).

[0030] More specifically, the coating module 100 may include a cylinder section 120 and a spray section 140 .

[0031] The cylinder portion 120 can be connected to an externally disposed coating material supply portion (not shown) to receive a supply of coating material and provide a pumping force to the spray portion 140 for spraying the coating material onto the outer surface of the workpiece P.

[0032] The spray unit 140 may receive a supply of coating material from the cylinder unit 120 and spray the coating material onto the outer surface of the workpiece P. The spray unit 140 may be coupled to one side (e.g., the upper portion) of the cylinder unit 120.

[0033] The cutting module 200 may be configured to cut a workpiece P.

[0034] Specifically, the cutting module 200 may include a first cutting portion 220 and a second cutting portion 240 .

[0035] The first cutting unit 220 may be disposed below the workpiece P, and in particular, may be connected to the ground. Also, the second cutting unit 240 may be disposed above the workpiece P. In this state, the first cutting unit 220 and the second cutting unit 240 may be driven in the vertical direction, respectively, to cut the workpiece P disposed between the first cutting unit 220 and the second cutting unit 240 in the vertical direction. Meanwhile, the tips of the first cutting unit 220 and the second cutting unit 240 may be formed in a pointed shape so as to cut the workpiece P.

[0036] The taping module 300 may be configured to tape an outer surface of a workpiece P. In this case, the taping module 300 may be configured to tape a tape T onto the outer surface of the workpiece P. For example, the tape T may be a sealing material, a label, or the like.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the jig device 10 of the present invention can be, for example, arranged in the order of a coating module 100, a cutting module 200 and a taping module 300 when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P (the direction in which the work progresses).

[0038] For example, if the workpiece P is a woven workpiece, there is a high possibility that the workpiece P will be unraveled and damaged when the woven workpiece P is cut by the cutting module 200. To prevent this, in the jig device 10 of the present invention, the coating module 100 may be disposed closer to the workpiece supply device than the cutting module 200 when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P. This arrangement allows the outer surface of the workpiece P to be coated with a coating material before the workpiece P is cut. This makes it possible to prevent damage to the woven workpiece P.

[0039] 1, when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P, the jig device 10 is arranged in the order of the coating module 100, the cutting module 200, and the taping module 300, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the modules may be arranged in the order of the cutting module 200, the coating module 100, and the taping module 300. In other words, after the cutting operation of the workpiece P by the cutting module 200, the coating operation of the workpiece P by the coating module 100 and the taping operation of the workpiece P by the taping module 300 may be performed in this order.

[0040] The jig device 10 may be arranged in the order of the taping module 300, the coating module 100, and the cutting module 200 when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P. In other words, after the taping operation of the workpiece P by the taping module 300, the coating operation of the workpiece P by the coating module 100 and the cutting operation of the workpiece P by the cutting module 200 may be performed in this order.

[0041] According to such an embodiment of the present invention, when processing the workpiece P, it is possible to perform the processes of cutting, coating and taping the workpiece P in an integrated manner, thereby improving the degree of completion of the work on the workpiece P.

[0042] The above-mentioned coating module 100, cutting module 200 and taping module 300 will now be described in more detail.

[0043] 1 to 4, the coating module 100 may be configured to coat a constant amount of coating material at regular intervals on the outer surface of the workpiece P. Also, the taping module 300 may be configured to tap the outer surface of the workpiece P with tape T at regular intervals.

[0044] For example, the cylinder section 120 of the coating module 100 may adjust the pumping force of the coating material so that the discharge pressure from the spray section 140 is kept constant so that a constant amount of coating material can be sprayed onto the outer surface of the workpiece P.

[0045] As described above, the workpiece P may be supplied to the jig device 10 at a constant speed via a workpiece supply device (not shown). Exemplarily, the coating module 100 and the taping module 300 may perform an operation while moving at a constant interval relative to the workpiece P, or may perform an operation while remaining at their original locations. In this case, when the coating module 100 and the taping module 300 perform an operation while moving relative to the workpiece P, the coating module 100 and the taping module 300 may be configured to move at a constant speed relative to the workpiece P. Meanwhile, a configuration for moving the coating module 100 and the taping module 300 relative to the workpiece P will be described in more detail in the related description section described later.

[0046] According to such an embodiment of the present invention, the machining process of the workpiece P by the jig device 10 can be automated, and the degree of completion of the work on the workpiece P can be improved.

[0047] 1 and 2, the coating module 100 may be configured to move along the workpiece P to coat an exterior surface of the workpiece P with a coating material.

[0048] Specifically, the coating module 100 may further include a first position moving part 160. The first position moving part 160 may be disposed on the ground.

[0049] The first position moving unit 160 may move the cylinder unit 120 and the blowing unit 140 along the workpiece P. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first position moving unit 160 may be a structure including casters for driving the cylinder unit 120 and the blowing unit 140 along the workpiece P. In this case, the casters of the first position moving unit 160 may be driven by a separate motor (not shown). Meanwhile, the first position moving unit 160 may move the cylinder unit 120 and the blowing unit 140 in at least one of the longitudinal direction and the horizontal direction of the workpiece P. Although not shown, the first position moving unit 160 may be provided with a separate actuator that is driven in the vertical direction to drive the cylinder unit 120 and the blowing unit 140 in the vertical direction. The cylinder unit 120 may be coupled to one side (e.g., the upper part) of the first position moving unit 160.

[0050] The first position moving unit 160 can move the cylinder unit 120 and the spray unit 140 in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P at regular intervals.

[0051] According to such an embodiment of the present invention, not only can the coating process be performed by the coating module 100 at a position desired by the operator, but also it is possible to quickly perform supplementary coating work on areas of the outer surface of the workpiece P where the coating material has not been sufficiently applied.

[0052] FIG. 5 is a front view of a portion of the taping module 300 of FIG.

[0053] 1 and 5, the taping module 300 may include a support frame 310, a pressing roller 320, and a tape supply unit 330.

[0054] The support frame 310 may be a component for supporting the pressing roller 320 .

[0055] The pressing roller 320 may be coupled to the support frame 310 and configured to press the workpiece P so that the tape T is taped to the outer surface of the workpiece P. Specifically, the pressing roller 320 may be axially coupled to the support frame 310 and configured to rotate.

[0056] The tape supply 330 may be configured to supply the tape T to the pressure roller 320 .

[0057] In one embodiment, the tape supply unit 330 may supply the tape T to the lower surface of the pressing roller 320. At this time, the tape T supplied by the tape supply unit 330 may be disposed so as to be in contact with the lower surface of the pressing roller 320. Then, the support frame 310 may be driven in the vertical direction with the tape T supplied to the lower surface of the pressing roller 320 to move the pressing roller 320 toward the workpiece P.

[0058] In this manner, the movement of the support frame 310 toward the workpiece P and the pressing force of the pressing roller 320 enable the workpiece P, the outer surface of which is primarily wrapped in the tape T, to be secondarily pressed by the pressing roller 320.

[0059] According to this embodiment of the present invention, the taping process is performed via the pressure roller 320 supported by the support frame 310, so that the vibration of the pressure roller 320 can be minimized to perform a more stable taping process.

[0060] 6 to 8 are diagrams showing a process in which the taping module 300 of Fig. 4 performs taping on the workpiece P. Specifically, Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the support frame 310 moves toward the workpiece P, Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a state in which the pressing roller 320 primarily presses the workpiece P whose outer surface is wrapped in tape T, and Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the tape T has been taped to the outer surface of the workpiece P by the pressing of the pressing roller 320.

[0061] 5 to 8, the pressing roller 320 may include a first roller 322 and a second roller 324.

[0062] The first roller 322 may be coupled to a support frame 310 .

[0063] The second roller 324 may be disposed to face the first roller 322 in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction) of the workpiece P. In addition, the second roller 324 may be coupled to the support frame 310.

[0064] 6, the support frame 310 can be driven vertically with the tape T supplied to the lower surface of the pressing roller 320 to move the pressing roller 320 toward the workpiece P.

[0065] 7, the first roller 322 and the second roller 324 may be configured to press the workpiece P positioned between the first roller 322 and the second roller 324 in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P. At this time, the tape T may be taped to the outer surface of the workpiece P by the pressing force of the first roller 322 and the second roller 324 between the first roller 322 and the second roller 324.

[0066] Then, referring to FIG. 8, the tape T may be uniformly taped to the outer surface of the workpiece P that has passed between the first roller 322 and the second roller 324 .

[0067] According to this embodiment of the present invention, the workpiece P, whose outer surface is wrapped in tape T, is pressed against the workpiece P from both horizontal sides via the first roller 322 and the second roller 324, thereby making it possible to carry out a more stable taping process.

[0068] Returning to FIGS. 5-8, the support frame 310 may include a first frame 312 and a second frame 314 .

[0069] The first frame 312 may be formed to extend in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P.

[0070] The second frame 314 may be formed to extend in the vertical direction and be coupled to one side (e.g., the lower part) of the first frame 312 in the vertical direction, and configured to support the pressing roller 320. In this case, the second frame 314 may be provided as a pair of frames arranged to face each other in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P, and may be rotatably coupled to the first frame 312. The above-mentioned first roller 322 and second roller 324 may be coupled to the pair of frames, respectively.

[0071] Specifically, the first frame 312 may further include an extension portion 3122 extending in the up-down direction. In this case, the extension portion 3122 may be formed extending downward from the first frame 312 and may be spaced apart from the second frame 314 and the horizontal direction of the workpiece P.

[0072] In addition, an elastic support 340 may be provided between the extension 3122 and the second frame 314 in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P. As an example, the elastic support 340 may be a spring, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0073] The elastic support part 340 may be configured to elastically support the second frame 314 in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 7, when the pressing roller 320 presses the workpiece P in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P, the elastic support part 340 may be compressed by a predetermined length in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P. Also, as shown in Fig. 8, after the workpiece P having the tape T taped on its outer surface passes the pressing roller 320, the elastic support part 340 may return to its original state and elastically support the second frame 314 in the horizontal direction of the workpiece P. In this case, the support frame 310 including the first frame 312 and the second frame 314 may be made of an elastic material.

[0074] According to this embodiment of the present invention, not only can damage to the support frame 310 be prevented during the taping process of the workpiece P, but also a more stable taping process can be performed.

[0075] 1 and 4, the support frame 310 may be configured to move in three axes of the workpiece P.

[0076] Specifically, the taping module 300 may further include a second position moving unit 350. The second position moving unit 350 may be disposed on the ground.

[0077] The second position moving unit 350 may move the support frame 310, the pressing roller 320, and the tape supply unit 330 in three axial directions of the workpiece P. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the second position moving unit 350 may be a structure including casters and actuators for driving the support frame 310, the pressing roller 320, and the tape supply unit 330 in three axial directions of the workpiece P. In this case, the casters and actuators of the second position moving unit 350 may be driven by a separate motor (not shown). Meanwhile, the second position moving unit 350 may move the support frame 310, the pressing roller 320, and the tape supply unit 330 in at least one direction of the longitudinal direction, horizontal direction, and up-down direction of the workpiece P. Also, the support frame 310 may be connected to the second position moving unit 350.

[0078] The second position moving unit 350 can move the support frame 310 in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P at regular intervals.

[0079] According to such an embodiment of the present invention, not only can the taping process be performed by the taping module 300 at the position desired by the worker, but also it is possible to quickly perform supplementary taping work on areas of the outer surface of the workpiece P that have not been sufficiently taped.

[0080] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing clamping module 400 installed in jig fixture 10 of FIG.

[0081] 1 and 9, the fixture apparatus 10 may further include a clamping module 400.

[0082] The clamping module 400 may be configured to fix the position of the workpiece P being supplied to the jig device 10 at a constant speed. In this case, when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P (the direction in which the work proceeds), the clamping module 400 may be disposed closer to the workpiece supply device than the coating module 100, the cutting module 200 and the taping module 300.

[0083] Specifically, the clamping module 400 may include a first clamp 420 and a second clamp 440 .

[0084] The first clamp 420 is disposed below the workpiece P, and may be disposed on the ground in particular. The second clamp 440 may be disposed above the workpiece P. In this state, the first clamp 420 and the second clamp 440 may be configured to be driven in the vertical direction, respectively, to fix the position of the workpiece P disposed between the first clamp 420 and the second clamp 440 in the vertical direction. In this case, the second clamp 440 may be driven using hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure.

[0085] At this time, the coating module 100 may be configured to coat the coating material on the outer surface of the workpiece P while the position of the workpiece P is fixed by the clamping module 400. The taping module 300 may be configured to tape the outer surface of the workpiece P with the tape T while the position of the workpiece P is fixed by the clamping module 400.

[0086] According to this embodiment of the present invention, the clamping module 400 minimizes the vibration of the workpiece P, so that the coating and taping processes can be performed more stably.

[0087] Meanwhile, although not shown, the clamping module 400 may be configured to include a separate motor (not shown) to move the workpiece P at a constant speed in the direction of operation. Thus, the coating module 100 can coat the outer surface of the workpiece P with a coating material at regular intervals. The taping module 300 can tape the outer surface of the workpiece P with tape T at regular intervals.

[0088] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a fixture device 12 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0089] 10, a fixture device 12 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The fixture device 12 according to this embodiment is similar to the fixture device 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment, so that a duplicated description of the configuration that is substantially the same as or similar to the above-mentioned embodiment will be omitted, and the following description will focus on the differences from the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0090] 10, the coating modules 102 and the taping modules 302 arranged on the jig device 12 may each be arranged in a plurality of units along the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) of the workpiece P.

[0091] At this time, the intervals between the multiple coating modules 102 may be configured to be adjustable relative to each other. More specifically, the intervals between the multiple coating modules 102 may be adjusted relative to each other in the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) of the workpiece P. At this time, the intervals between the multiple coating modules 102 may be adjusted relative to each other according to the length of the workpiece P. In particular, the intervals between the multiple coating modules 102 may be adjusted to be equal intervals.

[0092] Furthermore, the intervals between the plurality of taping modules 302 may be configured to be adjustable relative to each other. More specifically, the intervals between the plurality of taping modules 302 may be adjusted relative to each other in the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) of the workpiece P. In this case, the intervals between the plurality of taping modules 302 may be adjusted relative to each other according to the length of the workpiece P. In particular, the intervals between the plurality of taping modules 302 may be adjusted to be equal intervals.

[0093] The jig device 12 of this embodiment not only makes it possible to perform the coating and taping processes at multiple positions on the workpiece P, but also makes it possible to quickly perform supplementary work on areas of the outer surface of the workpiece P where the coating and taping processes have not been sufficiently performed.

[0094] Specifically, the jig device 12 according to the present embodiment may further include a first guide portion A1 and a second guide portion A2.

[0095] The first guide part A1 may be configured to guide the movement of the first position moving part 160 in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P. As an example, the first guide part A1 may be a linear motion guide (LM guide) and may be formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P. In this case, the first guide part A1 may be disposed on the ground.

[0096] The second guide part A2 may be configured to guide the movement of the second position moving part 350 in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P. As an example, the second guide part A2 may be a linear motion guide (LM guide) and may be formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P. In this case, the second guide part A2 may be disposed on the ground.

[0097] This allows the coating module 102 and the taping module 302 to be moved more stably in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P. This makes it possible to minimize the deterioration of the completion of the coating process and the taping process due to vibrations caused by the movement of the coating module 102 and the taping module 302. Furthermore, the adjustment of the intervals between the multiple coating modules 102 and the multiple taping modules 302 in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece P can be performed more stably.

[0098] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a fixture device 14 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0099] 11, a jig device 14 according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. The jig device 14 according to this embodiment is similar to the jig device 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment, so that a duplicated description of the configuration that is substantially the same as or similar to the above-mentioned embodiment will be omitted, and the following description will focus on the differences from the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0100] With reference to FIG. 11, the fixture apparatus 14 may further include a base module 500 .

[0101] The base module 500 may be configured to support the coating module 104 and the taping module 304 arranged on the jig device 14 on the ground. That is, the coating module 104 and the taping module 304 may be integrally arranged on the base module 500 arranged on the ground. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the first position moving unit 160 and the second position moving unit 350 may be configured to be driven only in the vertical direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Although not shown in FIG. 11, the first guide unit A1 and the second guide unit A2 may be located on the base module 500.
