Description

Winder

[0001] The present invention relates to a winder used to manufacture electrodes of secondary batteries.

[0002] Secondary batteries are rechargeable batteries used in a variety of devices, including cellular phones, laptops, camcorders, and automobiles. Secondary batteries have a structure in which pre-manufactured electrodes (anode and cathode) and separators are alternately laminated.

[0003] The process for manufacturing the electrodes (positive and negative electrodes) of the secondary battery as described above generally includes a coating process, a roll press process, a slitting process, a notching process, and a drying process.

[0004] In the coating process, an active material is coated on one or both surfaces of a current collector (mainly copper foil for a negative electrode, and mainly aluminum foil for a positive electrode), i.e., a fabric for coating, and in the roll press process, the fabric coated with the active material on the surface of the current collector, i.e., a fabric for roll press, is compressed while passing between a pair of press rolls.

[0005] After the roll press process is completed, a fabric having multiple rows of active material layers arranged in parallel on the surface of the current collector, i.e., a slitting fabric, is formed. In the slitting process, the boundary between the non-woven portion of the slitting fabric and the active material layer is cut. Here, the non-woven portion is the portion of the current collector exposed to the outside between each row of the active material layer.

[0006] When the slitting process is performed, multiple fabrics having one row of active material layers and one row of non-conductive regions, i.e., fabrics for notching, are obtained. In the notching process, electrode tabs are formed at regular intervals on the non-conductive regions of each fabric for notching.

[0007] When the notching process is performed, a fabric having one row of non-conductive layers and one row of active material layers with multiple electrode tabs, i.e., a drying fabric, is obtained, and in the drying process, this drying fabric is dried to remove moisture from the active material layers.

[0008] As described above, the manufacture of secondary battery electrodes (positive and negative electrodes) involves multiple processes, each of which is performed in a roll-to-roll fashion. Therefore, each process utilizes an unwinding device to unwind the pre-processed fabric (coating fabric, roll press fabric, slitting fabric, notching fabric, drying fabric), and a rewinding device to wind the post-processed fabric. Furthermore, the unwinding device for each process requires connecting the running fabric, which has been used and is nearing depletion, with the newly available standby fabric.

[0009] Korean Patent No. 10-2594981 discloses an unwinding device for a secondary battery electrode manufacturing process. This unwinding device blows air between the cut edges of a new fabric when replacing an electrode, lifting a flap, and then gripping the lifted flap. Lifting the flap by blowing air can result in the flap not being held properly or possibly folding. Furthermore, this unwinding device is applicable only to electrodes unwound in an upper-winding manner, and cannot be applied to electrodes unwound in a lower-winding manner.

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a winder that accurately grips a finishing tape attached to an air-conditioning fabric and / or a thin film (electrode) wound on an air-conditioning fabric, and is applicable to both the upper and lower winding types.

[0011] The above-described object of the present invention is achieved by the specific contents described below.

[0012] A winder according to an embodiment of the present invention is a winder applicable to both upper and lower winding types, and includes a turret section and a leading section. The turret section has a running fabric and a waiting fabric arranged thereon. The leading section has a head section. The head section detects a finishing tape attached to the end of a thin film wound on the waiting fabric, grips the finishing tape, and then removes it.

[0013] And, the head part includes a head body part, a detection part, a tape adsorption part, and a head rotation part. The detection part is arranged in the head body part and detects the finishing tape. The tape adsorption part is arranged in the head body part and moves to the position of the finishing tape detected by the detection part, adsorbs the finishing tape, and then removes the finishing tape. The head rotation part is connected to the reading part, and rotates the head body part when the thin film wound on the air fabric is unwound from the upper unwinding type to the lower unwinding type or from the lower unwinding type to the upper unwinding type.

[0014] Specifically, the tape suction part moves forward to the suction area of ​​the finishing tape, then sucks in air to suction the suction area of ​​the finishing tape, and then moves backward.

[0015] Specifically, the head portion further includes a fabric suction portion. The fabric suction portion is disposed on the head body portion and suctions and holds one end surface of a thin film wrapped around the air fabric.

[0016] Specifically, the fabric suction part advances toward the suction area of ​​the air fabric, then sucks in air and suctions the suction area of ​​the air fabric. Then, the fabric suction part moves backward after the tape suction part removes the finishing tape attached to one side of the film adjacent to the end of the film wrapped around the air fabric.

[0017] Specifically, the head portion further includes a fabric gripping portion. The fabric gripping portion is arranged in the head body portion and grips the end side of the thin film wrapped around the air fabric together with the fabric suction portion.

[0018] Specifically, when the fabric suction part sucks one end side of the thin film wrapped around the air fabric and then moves backward, the end side of the thin film is separated from the air fabric by a preset distance, and the fabric grip part moves to contact the other end side of the thin film. The end side of the thin film is placed between the fabric suction part and the fabric grip part, and is gripped by the fabric suction part and the fabric grip part due to the close contact between the fabric suction part and the fabric grip part.

[0019] Specifically, when the fabric suction part sucks one end side of the thin film wrapped around the air fabric and then moves backward and downward, the end side of the thin film is spaced apart from the air fabric by a preset distance, and the fabric grip part comes into contact with the other end side of the thin film. The end side of the thin film is arranged between the fabric suction part and the fabric grip part, and is gripped by the fabric suction part and the fabric grip part due to the close contact between the fabric suction part and the fabric grip part.

[0020] Specifically, the winder of the present invention further includes a guide roller. When the head portion grips the end side of a film released from an air source and moves away from the air source by a preset distance, the guide roller moves to support a point of the film, thereby forming a movement path of the film.

[0021] Specifically, the winder of the present invention further includes a fabric connecting portion and a suction portion. The fabric connecting portion connects the running fabric and the waiting fabric. The suction portion is positioned below the fabric connecting portion and absorbs the film released from the waiting fabric to secure the film. The film released from the running fabric and the film released from the waiting fabric are stacked and positioned between the fabric connecting portion and the suction portion.

[0022] Specifically, in the above fabric connecting portion, a connecting tape unwound from a roll of connecting tape to a preset length is placed. One end surface of the connecting tape is absorbed by the connecting tape absorbent portion and held.

[0023] Specifically, the connecting tape adsorption portion adsorbs one end surface of the connecting tape and then moves in one direction along the first guide member.

[0024] Specifically, a connecting tape pressurizing portion is arranged on the lower side of the first guide member. When the connecting tape suction portion moves in one direction along the first guide member, the connecting tape suction portion moves from one end of the connecting tape pressurizing portion to the other end, and the connecting tape unwound from the roll on which the connecting tape is wound is arranged below the connecting tape pressurizing portion.

[0025] Specifically, the above-mentioned connecting tape pressurizing portion absorbs and holds one side of the connecting tape arranged below. The connecting tape absorbing portion releases the absorbed connecting tape and moves in the opposite direction along the first guide member to return to its original position.

[0026] Specifically, a connecting tape cutting portion is arranged on one side of the connecting tape pressurizing portion. The connecting tape cutting portion cuts a point of the connecting tape, and a cutting of a preset size of connecting tape is adsorbed on one side of the connecting tape pressurizing portion.

[0027] Specifically, when the above-described connecting tape is cut, the suction portion rises or the fabric connecting portion descends. The film cutting portion positioned at the fabric connecting portion cuts the film released from the laminated running fabric and the film released from the waiting fabric while moving in one direction along the second guide member.

[0028] Specifically, the above-mentioned connecting tape pressurizing portion moves toward the suction portion, and the connecting tape absorbed by the connecting tape pressurizing portion connects the thin film connected to the atmospheric fabric and the thin film separated from the running fabric.

[0029] A winder according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention has a detection unit, and has the effect of accurately gripping a finishing tape and / or a thin film (electrode) wound on the waiting fabric even when the radius of the waiting fabric is different or the position of the finishing tape attached to the waiting fabric is different.

[0030] In addition, the winder of the present invention has the effect of being able to release the thin film in an upper-winding type and a lower-winding type by rotating the head part that holds the finishing tape and the thin film (electrode).

[0031] In addition, the winder of the present invention has a guide roller that can move up and down, so that it is possible to lead the thin film when changing from an upper winding type to a lower winding type (or vice versa).

[0032] Furthermore, the winder of the present invention connects the membrane connected to the air fabric and the membrane separated from the running fabric at the location where the membranes released from the running fabric and the air fabric are cut. Accordingly, the connection between the membranes is prevented from misaligning, shortening the winder's manufacturing time, simplifying the manufacturing process, and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0056] Below, a winder according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0057] The winder of the present invention is a device generally used in manufacturing electrodes of secondary batteries.

[0058] The winder of the present invention is a device that is generally used for both unwinders and rewinders, and is applied to both unwinders and rewinders.

[0059] An unwinder is a device generally used in the process of manufacturing secondary battery electrodes to unwind a thin film wound in a roll shape and connect existing fabric with new fabric.

[0060] And, the rewinder is a device generally used to wind the loosened film into a roll shape.

[0061] That is, the winder of the present invention can be used as an unwinder and a rewinder.

[0062] Below, among the unwinders and rewinders to which the winder of the present invention is applicable, the unwinder will be described, and the description thereof can be applied when used as a rewinder.

[0063] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the winder (1) of the present invention includes a turret portion (10), a leading portion (20), a suction portion (40), a fabric connecting portion (50), and a control portion (not shown) arranged on a frame (1p).

[0064] The turret section (10), the leading section (20), the suction section (40), and the fabric connecting section (50) are arranged on the frame (1p) of the winder (1) of the present invention, and their operation is controlled by the control section. The operation refers to the components of the winder (1) rotating or moving up, down, left, and right. In addition, the control refers to the adjustment of the rotation angle and the movement distance, etc.

[0065] <Turret section (10)>

[0066] The turret part (10) includes a turret body (11), a driving fabric support part (14), a waiting fabric support part (15), and a plurality of rollers (16).

[0067] In Figure 1, the front side looking left and right (or up and down) can be defined as the front side, and the back side can be defined as the back side.

[0068] The turret body (11) can be formed in a plus (+) shape when looking at the winder (1) of the present invention from the front side as shown in Fig. 1, and can be formed in a circular or oval shape.

[0069] A driving fabric (12) and a standby fabric (13) are placed on the turret body (11).

[0070] In this specification, the driving fabric and the standby fabric represent not only the electrodes but also the thin film components before becoming the electrodes, wound in a roll shape.

[0071] The component in the form of a thin film wrapped around the driving fabric and the air fabric in this specification is called a ‘thin film’.

[0072] The running fabric (12) represents the fabric currently being unwound on the frame (1p) (see Fig. 1).

[0073] The standby fabric (13) represents a fabric that is released following the driving fabric (12) when the driving fabric (12) is completely released (see Fig. 2). After replacement, the standby fabric (13) becomes the driving fabric (12).

[0074] The types of fabric that are released are divided into upper and lower release types.

[0075] Referring to Fig. 1, the driving fabric (12) rotates clockwise and the film (121) is released from the top. This is referred to as the upper-winding type. Conversely, referring to Fig. 15, the lower-winding type indicates that the driving fabric (12) rotates counterclockwise and the film is released from the bottom. This also applies to the standby fabric (13).

[0076] The winder (1) of the present invention is applicable to both upper and lower winding types.

[0077] The driving fabric (12) is placed on the driving fabric support (14), and the standby fabric (13) is placed on the standby fabric support (15).

[0078] The driving fabric support member (14) supports the driving fabric (12), and the standby fabric support member (15) supports the standby fabric (13).

[0079] The standby fabric (13) is supplied from the outside when the driving fabric (12) is almost completely released (when there is not much film (121) left) and placed on the standby fabric support (15) of the turret body (11) (see Fig. 2).

[0080] When the air fabric (13) is placed on the air fabric support (15), in the case of the upper winding type, the air fabric (13) is placed on the air fabric support (15) so that the rolled film is unwound when it rotates clockwise, and in the case of the lower winding type, the air fabric (13) is placed on the air fabric support (15) so that the rolled film is unwound when it rotates counterclockwise (see Fig. 15).

[0081] The driving fabric support (14) and the standby fabric support (15) can rotate while placed on the turret body (11).

[0082] That is, the driving fabric support (14) and the waiting fabric support (15) are mounted on the turret body (11) so as to be rotatable. The driving fabric support (14) and the waiting fabric support (15) may be, for example, rollers.

[0083] Accordingly, the driving fabric (12) can rotate while being placed on the driving fabric support (14), and the standby fabric (13) can rotate while being placed on the standby fabric support (15).

[0084] The driving fabric (12) rotates clockwise in the upper winding type and counterclockwise in the lower winding type.

[0085] The driving fabric support (14) and the waiting fabric support (15) are arranged at a preset distance apart from each other. For example, the driving fabric support (14) and the waiting fabric support (15) are arranged at a preset distance apart from each other in the left-right direction or the up-down direction.

[0086] For example, as shown in Fig. 1, the driving fabric support (14) can be placed on the left side, and the waiting fabric support (15) spaced apart by a preset distance can be placed on the right side.

[0087] Additionally, the turret portion (10) includes a plurality of rollers (16).

[0088] The plurality of rollers (16) include a first roller (161) and a second roller (162).

[0089] The first roller (161) and the second roller (162) support the film released from the running fabric (12) when the running fabric (12) and the standby fabric (13) are replaced.

[0090] The first roller (161) and the second roller (162) can rotate while placed on the turret body (11).

[0091] The first roller (161) and the second roller (162) are mounted on the turret body (11) so as to be rotatable. The first roller (161) and the second roller (162) may be known rollers.

[0092] The first roller (161) and the second roller (162) are arranged spaced apart from each other by a preset distance. For example, the first roller (161) and the second roller (162) are arranged spaced apart from each other by a preset distance in the left-right direction or the up-down direction.

[0093] For example, as shown in Fig. 1, when the driving fabric support (14) is placed on the left side and the waiting fabric support (15) spaced apart by a preset distance is placed on the right side, the first roller (161) can be placed on the upper side and the second roller (162) spaced apart by a preset distance can be placed on the lower side.

[0094] Meanwhile, the turret body (11) can rotate. Figures 1 to 3 show that the turret part (10) rotates at a preset angle.

[0095] Rotation of the turret body (11) is performed by the control unit.

[0096] The winder (1) of the present invention includes a turret support member (not designated) that supports a turret body (11) to a frame (1p) and a turret rotation member (not designated) that rotates the turret body (11). The turret rotation member is a component that rotates the turret body (11), and represents a motor and other components connected thereto.

[0097] When the driving fabric (12) placed on the driving fabric support (14) is completely released (when there is not much film (121) left), the waiting fabric (13) is placed on the waiting fabric support (15). Then, the turret body (11) rotates approximately 180° counterclockwise (see Fig. 3).

[0098] As the turret body (11) rotates approximately 180°, the standby fabric (13) located on the left becomes located on the right, and the driving fabric (12) located on the right becomes located on the left.

[0099] As the turret body (11) rotates, the arrangement positions of the driving fabric (12) and the standby fabric (13) are changed, so that the driving fabric (12) is positioned far from the guide roller (30) or the leading part (20) described later, and the standby fabric (13) is positioned close to the guide roller (30) or the leading part (20) (see FIG. 3).

[0100] When the rotation of the turret body (11) is completed, the leading part (20) moves toward the waiting fabric (13) (see Fig. 4).

[0101] <Reading Department (20)>

[0102] The leading part (20) absorbs and grips the end surface of the finishing tape (17) and the thin film (131) to which the finishing tape (17) is not attached, thereby unwinding the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) (see Fig. 5).

[0103] The finishing tape (17) prevents the thin film (131) wrapped around the standby fabric (13) from unraveling (see Figs. 8 and 11).

[0104] The finishing tape (17) is formed into a tape shape with a preset length in the circumferential direction of the waiting fabric (13).

[0105] The finishing tape (17) is attached to one end side of the thin film (131) wrapped around the waiting fabric (13) so that the longitudinal direction of the finishing tape (17) is arranged in the same direction as the circumferential direction of the waiting fabric (13).

[0106] One side of the finishing tape (17) faces the waiting fabric (13), and the other side (the opposite side of the one side) of the finishing tape (17) faces the leading part (20).

[0107] One side of the finishing tape (17) is divided into an adhesive portion (171) and a non-adhesive portion (172) (see Fig. 8). The other side of the finishing tape (17) is entirely non-adhesive.

[0108] In the finishing tape (17), the adhesive portion (171) is located on one side in the longitudinal direction, and the non-adhesive portion (172) is located on the other side in the longitudinal direction.

[0109] The adhesive portion (171) of the finishing tape (17) is attached to one end surface (132) of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) and one end surface (133) of the thin film (131) adjacent to the end of the thin film (131). The one end surface (133) of the thin film (131) adjacent to the end of the thin film (131) represents a surface that is not covered by the one end surface (132) of the thin film (131).

[0110] The leading part (20) can move on the frame (1p).

[0111] The leading part (20) includes a first leading support part (21) and a second leading support part (22) (see Fig. 1).

[0112] The first reading support member (21) is movably connected to the frame (1p) and can move in one direction (e.g., horizontally) on the frame (1p).

[0113] The second reading support (22) is movably connected to the first reading support (21).

[0114] The second leading support member (22) can move in the same direction as the movement direction (e.g., horizontal direction) of the first leading support member (21) when combined with the first leading support member (21), and can also move in another direction (e.g., vertical direction) from the first leading support member (21).

[0115] Movement of the leading part (20) (specifically, the first leading support part (21) and the second leading support part (22)) is performed by the control part.

[0116] The winder (1) of the present invention includes components that enable the first leading support (21) to move on the frame (1p) and components that enable the second leading support (22) to move on the first leading support (21).

[0117] The reading part (20) includes a head part (23).

[0118] The head portion (23) is placed on one side of the second reading support portion (22).

[0119] The head portion (23) can move in one direction (e.g., horizontal direction) by movement of the first leading support portion (21) and / or the second leading support portion (22) in one direction. And, the head portion (23) can move in another direction (e.g., vertical direction) by movement of the second leading support portion (22) in the other direction.

[0120] The head (23) can move and come into contact with the air fabric (13).

[0121] Specifically, the head portion (23) can be in contact with the finishing tape (17) attached to the standby fabric (13) and one end surface of the thin film (131) wrapped around the standby fabric (13).

[0122] Specifically, the head portion (23) comes into contact with the opposite side (the other side of the finishing tape (17)) of the non-adhesive portion (172) among the sides of the finishing tape (17).

[0123] In this specification, the area where the head portion (23) (specifically, the tape adsorption portion (232)) of the finishing tape (17) comes into contact is called the 'adsorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17)', and the area where the head portion (23) (specifically, the fabric adsorption portion (233)) comes into contact among the end side surfaces of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) is called the 'adsorption area (134) of the air fabric (13)' (see FIG. 11).

[0124] Referring to FIGS. 8 to 12, the head portion (23) includes a head body portion (231), a sensing portion (234), a tape adsorption portion (232), and a head rotation portion (238).

[0125] <Head body (231)>

[0126] The head body (231) forms the body of the head part (23).

[0127] The head body (231) is placed on one side of the second reading support (22).

[0128] The front of the head body (231) is positioned to face the waiting fabric (13), and the rear of the head body (231) is connected to one side of the second leading support (22).

[0129] The detection unit (234) and tape adsorption unit (232) are arranged in the head body unit (231).

[0130] The winder (1) of the present invention includes components that connect the head body (231) and the second leading support (22).

[0131] <Sensing section (234)>

[0132] The winder (1) of the present invention is provided with a detection unit (234), so that even when the radius of the air fabric (13) is different or the position of the finishing tape (17) attached to the air fabric (13) is different, it accurately detects the finishing tape (17) and / or the thin film wound on the air fabric (13).

[0133] The detection unit (234) detects the finishing tape (17) and / or the adsorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17).

[0134] The detection unit (234) is positioned at a position where it can detect the finishing tape (17) in the head body (231).

[0135] When the head unit (23) moves and approaches the standby fabric (13), the standby fabric (13) rotates and the finishing tape (17) passes over the front of the head unit (23). At this time, the detection unit (234) detects the finishing tape (17) and / or the adsorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17) and determines the position of the finishing tape (17) and / or the adsorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17).

[0136] When the finishing tape (17) is detected by the detection unit (234), the rotation of the standby fabric (13) stops.

[0137] And, when the position of the finishing tape (17) is determined by the detection unit (234), the tape adsorption unit (232) of the head unit (23) moves to the position of the finishing tape (17) and / or the adsorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17).

[0138] The detection unit (234) may be, for example, a color detection sensor or a vision sensor.

[0139] The color detection sensor detects the color when the absorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17) is marked with a specific color (e.g., red) and transmits the position data of the absorption area (173) to the control unit.

[0140] The vision sensor recognizes (or photographs) the finishing tape (17) and / or the suction area (173) of the finishing tape (17), and transmits position data of the finishing tape (17) and / or the suction area (173) to the control unit.

[0141] The movement of the head unit (23), the rotation and stopping of the standby fabric (13), and the operation of the detection unit (234) are performed by the control unit.

[0142] The detection unit (234) is electrically connected to the control unit, and the data acquired by the detection unit (234) is transmitted to the control unit, and the control unit controls the movement of the head unit (23), rotation and stopping of the standby fabric (13), etc. based on the data.

[0143] <Tape absorbent part (232)>

[0144] The tape adsorption part (232) removes the finishing tape (17) attached to the standby fabric (13).

[0145] The tape suction portion (232) includes an air intake hole.

[0146] The tape adsorption part (232) moves forward to the adsorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17), sucks in air to adsorb the adsorption area (173) of the finishing tape (17), and then moves backward.

[0147] In detail, the tape adsorption portion (232) adsorbs and detaches the finishing tape (17) attached to one side of the thin film (131) adjacent to the end of the thin film (131). Accordingly, the end of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) becomes unwound.

[0148] The tape adsorption part (232) is placed apart from the detection part (234) in the head body part (231) and is placed at a position where it can adsorb the finishing tape (17).

[0149] The winder (1) of the present invention includes components that enable the tape suction part (232) to move forward and backward, and components necessary for the tape suction part (232) to suck in air.

[0150] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the head portion (23) of the present invention may further include a thin film fixing portion (235).

[0151] <Thin film fixing part (235)>

[0152] The thin film fixing part (235) is placed on the head body part (231).

[0153] The thin film fixing portion (235) comes into contact with the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13) adjacent to the finishing tape (17) when the tape adsorption portion (232) removes the finishing tape (17) and holds the thin film (131).

[0154] By providing a thin film fixing member (235), when the finishing tape (17) is separated from the thin film (131), the thin film (131) at the portion where the finishing tape (17) is attached and the thin film (131) at the portion adjacent to the thin film (131) do not move. As a result, the finishing tape (17) can be easily separated from the thin film (131) without damaging the thin film (131).

[0155] The thin film fixing member (235) may be, for example, a roller. Accordingly, when the thin film fixing member (235) moves up or down while in contact with the thin film (131), the thin film fixing member (235) can move freely without damaging the thin film (131).

[0156] The thin film fixing part (235) is placed apart from the tape adsorption part (232) and the fabric adsorption part (233) in the head body part (231).

[0157] A plurality of thin film fixing members (235) may be arranged. For example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, two thin film fixing members (235) may be arranged on both sides of the tape adsorption member (232) in the width direction of the air fabric (13) with the tape adsorption member (232) in the middle.

[0158] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, a thin film fixing member (235) may be placed between a plurality (e.g., two) of fabric adsorption members (233).

[0159] The winder (1) of the present invention includes components that connect the thin film fixing portion (235) and the head body portion (231).

[0160] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the head portion (23) of the present invention may further include a fabric absorption portion (233).

[0161] In detail, the winder (1) of the present invention may be equipped with only a tape adsorption part (232), and may further be equipped with a fabric adsorption part (233) in addition to the tape adsorption part (232).

[0162] <Fabric absorption part (233)>

[0163] The fabric absorption portion (233) is placed on the head body portion (231).

[0164] The fabric adsorption part (233) adsorbs and holds one end surface of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) (specifically, the adsorption area (134) of the air fabric (13)) (see Fig. 13a).

[0165] The fabric absorption portion (233) can be formed into a polyhedral shape with a preset thickness and width.

[0166] A plurality of air intake holes are formed on the front surface of the fabric adsorption portion (233). The front surface of the fabric adsorption portion (233) faces the adsorption area (134) of the air fabric (13).

[0167] The fabric adsorption part (233) moves forward to the adsorption area (134) of the air fabric (13), sucks in air, adsorbs the adsorption area (134) of the air fabric (13), and then moves backward. Accordingly, the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) is released.

[0168] The fabric adsorption part (233) moves backward after the tape adsorption part (232) removes the finishing tape (17) attached to one side (133) of the film (131) adjacent to the end of the film (131).

[0169] The fabric adsorption part (233) is positioned apart from the detection part (234) and the tape adsorption part (232) in the head body part (231), and is positioned so as to be able to adsorb the adsorption area (134) of the air fabric (13).

[0170] A plurality of fabric suction parts (233) may be arranged. For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 8 to 12, two fabric suction parts (233) may be arranged on both sides of the tape suction part (232) in the width direction of the air fabric (13).

[0171] The winder (1) of the present invention includes components that enable the fabric suction part (233) to move forward and backward, and components necessary for the fabric suction part (233) to suck in air.

[0172] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the head portion (23) of the present invention may further include a fabric grip portion (236).

[0173] In detail, the winder (1) of the present invention may further include a fabric suction part (233) in addition to the tape suction part (232), and may further include a fabric grip part (236) in addition to the fabric suction part (233).

[0174] <Fabric grip section (236)>

[0175] The fabric grip section (236) is placed on the head body section (231).

[0176] The fabric gripping portion (236) together with the fabric absorption portion (233) grips (grabs) the end or end side of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) (see Fig. 13b).

[0177] The fabric grip portion (236) can be formed in a plate shape of a preset size. The fabric grip portion (236) can be formed in a polyhedral shape with a preset thickness and width.

[0178] If the fabric gripping portion (236) can grip the end side of the thin film (131), the fabric gripping portion (236) is not limited to a specific shape and can be formed in various shapes.

[0179] The fabric gripping portion (236) is spaced apart from the fabric suction portion (233) in the head body portion (231) by a preset distance and is positioned adjacent to the fabric suction portion (233).

[0180] For example, the fabric grip section (236) is positioned below the fabric suction section (233) when it is an upper-extraction type, and is positioned above the fabric suction section (233) when it is a lower-extraction type.

[0181] When a plurality of fabric suction parts (233) are arranged (for example, two), a plurality of fabric grip parts (236) are also arranged (for example, two). For example, as illustrated in Fig. 12, each of the two fabric grip parts (236) is arranged below the fabric suction part (233).

[0182] When the fabric absorbing portion (233) moves backward after absorbing one end surface of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) (specifically, the absorbing area (134) of the air fabric (13)), the end of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) is spaced apart from the air fabric (13) by a preset distance. At this time, the fabric gripping portion (236) moves to come into contact with the other end surface of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) (see (a) of FIG. 13b).

[0183] Specifically, the end side of the thin film (131) is placed between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236), and is caught (grabbed) by the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236) due to the close contact between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236). Then, when the head part (23) moves backward (when the head part (23) moves in a direction away from the waiting fabric (13), the thin film (131) wrapped around the waiting fabric (13) is released (see (b) of FIG. 13b).

[0184] Movement of the fabric grip section (236) is accomplished by the grip moving section (237).

[0185] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the head portion (23) of the present invention may further include a grip moving portion (237).

[0186] <Phase Moving Unit (237)>

[0187] The phage moving part (237) is placed on or connected to the head body part (231).

[0188] The phage moving part (237) is connected to the fabric phage part (236) and moves the fabric phage part (236).

[0189] The phage moving part (237) includes a first cylinder part (2371) and a second cylinder part (2372) (see (a) of FIG. 13a).

[0190] The first cylinder part (2371) and the second cylinder part (2372) include a cylinder housing through which air or fluid flows in or out, a piston member movable within the cylinder housing, and a piston rod movable and connected to the piston member. The first cylinder part (2371) and the second cylinder part (2372) represent commonly used cylinder devices, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0191] The first cylinder part (2371) can be connected to the head body part (231). In addition, the first cylinder part (2371) is connected to the fabric grip part (236) to move the fabric grip part (236) forward and backward in the horizontal direction (see (b) of FIG. 13a).

[0192] The second cylinder part (2372) can be connected to the head body part (231). In addition, the second cylinder part (2372) is connected to the fabric grip part (236) to vertically raise and lower the fabric grip part (236) (see (a) of FIG. 13b).

[0193] For example, the explanation is as follows (see Figs. 13a and 13b).

[0194] When the fabric absorbing portion (233) absorbs one end side of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) (specifically, the absorbing area (134) of the air fabric (13)) and then moves backward, the fabric gripping portion (236) moves forward toward the air fabric (13) by the first cylinder portion (2371) and then rises toward the air fabric (13) by the second cylinder portion (2372).

[0195] When the movement of the fabric gripping part (236) is completed by the driving of the first cylinder part (2371) and the second cylinder part (2372), the end side of the thin film (131) is placed between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric gripping part (236), and is gripped by the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric gripping part (236) due to the close contact between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric gripping part (236).

[0196] And, when the head part (23) moves backward (when the head part (23) moves in a direction away from the air fabric (13), the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) is released.

[0197] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the fabric grip portion (236) may be composed of a plurality of physically separate components. The plurality of components may be connected to the first cylinder portion (2371) and / or the second cylinder portion (2372), and may move in the up, down, left, and right directions while connected to the head body portion (231).

[0198] The winder (1) of the present invention further includes components necessary for the phage moving part (237) to move the fabric phage part (236).

[0199] In addition, according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the phage moving unit (237) may be provided with a driving motor and components connected thereto instead of the first cylinder unit (2371) and the second cylinder unit (2372) to move the fabric phage unit (236).

[0200] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the winder (1) of the present invention may include a fabric suction moving part (not shown).

[0201] The fabric adsorption moving part is placed on or connected to the head body part (231).

[0202] The fabric suction moving part is connected to the fabric suction part (233) and moves the fabric suction part (233).

[0203] When the fabric absorbing portion (233) absorbs one end surface of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) (specifically, the absorbing area (134) of the air fabric (13)) and then moves backward and downward, the end of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) is spaced apart from the air fabric (13) by a preset distance, and the fabric gripping portion (236) comes into contact with the other end surface of the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13).

[0204] Specifically, the end side of the thin film (131) is placed between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236), and is caught (grabbed) by the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236) due to the close contact between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236). Then, when the head part (23) moves backward (when the head part (23) moves in a direction away from the waiting fabric (13), the thin film (131) wrapped around the waiting fabric (13) is released.

[0205] The fabric adsorption moving part includes a third cylinder part and a fourth cylinder part.

[0206] The third cylinder section and the fourth cylinder section represent cylinder devices that are commonly used in the same manner as the first cylinder section (2371) and the second cylinder section (2372), and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0207] The third cylinder part can be connected to the head body part (231). In addition, the third cylinder part is connected to the fabric suction part (233) to move the fabric suction part (233) forward and backward in the horizontal direction.

[0208] The fourth cylinder part can be connected to the head body part (231). In addition, the fourth cylinder part is connected to the fabric suction part (233) to vertically raise and lower the fabric suction part (233).

[0209] Here is an example to explain:

[0210] The fabric adsorption part (233) moves forward toward the atmospheric fabric (13) by the third cylinder part, adsorbs the adsorption area (134) of the atmospheric fabric (13), and then moves backward, and rises or falls toward the fabric grip part (236) by the fourth cylinder part.

[0211] When the movement of the fabric suction part (233) is completed by the driving of the third cylinder part and the fourth cylinder part, the end side of the thin film (131) is placed between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236), and is gripped by the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236) due to the close contact between the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236).

[0212] And, when the head part (23) moves backward, the thin film (131) wrapped around the air fabric (13) is released.

[0213] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the fabric suction unit (233) may be composed of a plurality of physically separate components. The plurality of components are connected to the third cylinder unit and / or the fourth cylinder unit, and can move in the up, down, left, and right directions while connected to the head body unit (231).

[0214] The winder (1) of the present invention may further include components necessary for the fabric suction moving part to move the fabric suction part (233).

[0215] In addition, according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the fabric suction moving part may be provided with a driving motor and components connected thereto instead of the third cylinder part and the fourth cylinder part to move the fabric suction part (233).

[0216] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the winder (1) of the present invention has both the aforementioned grip moving unit (237) and the fabric suction moving unit, and can grip the end side of the waiting fabric (13) by driving the grip moving unit (237) and / or the fabric suction moving unit.

[0217] By driving the phage moving unit (237) and / or the fabric suction moving unit, the fabric suction unit (236) and / or the fabric suction unit (233) can move and grasp the end side of the waiting fabric (13).

[0218] When the movement of the fabric gripping portion (236) and / or the fabric suction portion (233) is completed by the driving of the first cylinder portion (2371) to the fourth cylinder portion, the end side of the film (131) is placed between the fabric gripping portion (236) and the fabric suction portion (233), and is gripped by the fabric gripping portion (236) and the fabric suction portion (233) due to the close contact between the fabric gripping portion (236) and the fabric suction portion (233). Then, when the head portion (23) moves backward, the film (131) wound around the waiting fabric (13) is unwound.

[0219] The operation of the phage moving unit (237) and / or the fabric suction moving unit is controlled by the control unit. That is, the control unit controls the movement distance, movement speed, and pressure of the piston member (or piston rod) of the cylinder unit.

[0220] <Head rotation part (238)>

[0221] Meanwhile, the head rotation part (238) rotates the head part (23) (specifically, the head body part (231)) (see Fig. 14).

[0222] Since the head part (23) (specifically, the head body part (231)) can rotate, the tape suction part (232), the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236) attached to the head part (23) can grip the end side of the finishing tape (17) or the thin film (131) in both the upper and lower winding types (see FIGS. 15 and 16).

[0223] Alternatively, the head rotation part (238) rotates the head part (23) (specifically, the head body part (231)) so that the fabric suction part (233) and the fabric grip part (236) can grip the end side of the fabric (131) when the thin film (121) of the running fabric (12) or the waiting fabric (13) is released from the upper-winding type to the lower-winding type (or vice versa).

[0224] One side of the head rotation part (238) is connected to the head body part (231), and the other side of the head rotation part (238) is connected to one side of the leading part (20) (specifically, the second leading support part (22)).

[0225] By the rotation of the head rotation part (238), the head body part (231) rotates at a preset angle.

[0226] The head rotation part (238) includes a driving motor.

[0227] The drive motor refers to a motor that is commonly used.

[0228] The head rotation unit (238) (specifically, the driving motor) is electrically connected to the control unit and controlled by the control unit. The control unit controls the rotation angle of the head rotation unit (238) (specifically, the driving motor).

[0229] When the head portion (23) of the leading portion (20) removes the finishing tape (17) attached to the standby fabric (13), grasps the end side of the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13), and moves a preset distance away from the standby fabric (13) (rightward in FIG. 1), a process of connecting the existing running fabric (12) and the standby fabric (13) is performed. The process of connecting the films (121, 131) released from the two fabrics (12, 13) is performed around the time when the running fabric (12) is completely released.

[0230] When the head unit (23) moves in one direction (rightward in Fig. 1) after gripping the end side of the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13), the guide roller (30) moves (e.g., rises) to support a point of the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13) (see Figs. 6 and 16). At this time, the guide roller (30) may come into contact with a roller arranged on the fabric connecting portion (50) or frame (1p) described later. The film (121) of the running fabric (12) may be in contact with the roller.

[0231] <Guide roller (30)>

[0232] The winder (1) of the present invention includes a guide roller (30).

[0233] The guide roller (30) supports the film (131) released at a certain distance from the air fabric (13) (see FIGS. 6 and 16).

[0234] The guide roller (30) determines (or forms) the movement path of the thin film in the upper and lower winding types. In other words, the guide roller (30) enables the thin film to be led in the upper and lower winding types.

[0235] In addition, the guide roller (30) enables the thin film to be led by changing the movement path of the thin film when changing from the upper-drawing type to the lower-drawing type (or vice versa).

[0236] That is, the movement path of the thin film is determined (formed) by the guide roller (30).

[0237] The guide roller (30) is placed between the air-curing fabric (13) placed on the turret (10) and the suction part (40) or leading part (20) described later. At this time, the leading part (20) is in a state where it has gripped the end side of the thin film (131) released from the air-curing fabric (13) and has moved a preset distance in one direction (right direction in FIG. 1).

[0238] The guide roller (30) is located below the thin film (131) released from the air fabric (13).

[0239] The guide roller (30) can rise or fall while placed on the frame (1p).

[0240] For example, the guide roller (30) can be connected to a ball screw, linear guide (LM guide) and / or drive motor that is commonly used and can rise or fall.

[0241] Alternatively, according to an example embodiment of the present invention, the guide roller (30) can be raised or lowered by a hydraulic device including a cylinder. The hydraulic device includes a pneumatic device.

[0242] The winder (1) of the present invention includes other components that enable the guide roller (30) to move on the frame (1p).

[0243] <Suction section (40)>

[0244] The suction part (40) can rise or fall while placed on the frame (1p).

[0245] The suction part (40) is placed between the air fabric (13) placed on the turret part (10) and the leading part (20). At this time, the leading part (20) is in a state where it has gripped the end side of the thin film (131) released from the air fabric (13) and has moved a preset distance in one direction (right direction in Fig. 1).

[0246] The suction section (40) is located below the thin film (131) released from the atmospheric fabric (13).

[0247] The suction part (40) rises and absorbs the thin film (131) of the atmospheric fabric (13) to support and fix the thin film (131).

[0248] A plurality of air intake holes are formed on one surface (e.g., the upper surface) of the suction portion (40). The suction portion (40) sucks air through the air intake holes and adsorbs the thin film (131) released from the air fabric (13).

[0249] When the suction part (40) adsorbs the thin film (131), the running fabric (12) is stationary.

[0250] When the suction part (40) rises to adsorb and support the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13), the thin film (121) of the driving fabric (12) and the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13) are laminated.

[0251] In detail, the thin film (121) of the running fabric (12) is placed on top of the thin film (131) of the atmospheric fabric (13) absorbed by the suction part (40). That is, the thin film (121) of the running fabric (12) is placed above, and the thin film (131) of the atmospheric fabric (13) is placed below.

[0252] After the suction part (40) has absorbed the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13) and fixed the thin film (131), the leading part (20) can release the end side of the thin film (131) that it was holding. That is, the leading part (20) can no longer hold the thin film (131).

[0253] The suction section (40) may include a roller (third roller) (41).

[0254] The third roller (41) can be placed on one side of the upper surface of the suction portion (40) (see FIG. 1) or on one side of the side (not shown). The one side refers to the side adjacent to the leading portion (20).

[0255] The third roller (41) supports the thin film (131) absorbed by the suction part (40).

[0256] The suction unit (40) can be raised or lowered by being connected to a hydraulic device including, for example, a commonly used ball screw, linear guide and drive motor, or cylinder. The hydraulic device includes a pneumatic device.

[0257] The winder (1) of the present invention includes other components that enable the suction part (40) to move on the frame (1p) and components necessary for the suction part (40) to suck air.

[0258] <Fabric connection part (50)>

[0259] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 17a to FIG. 17d, and FIG. 18 to FIG. 19, the fabric connecting portion (50) connects the running fabric (12) and the standby fabric (13) when the running fabric (12) is completely unwound.

[0260] The fabric connecting portion (50) can rise or fall while placed on the frame (1p).

[0261] The fabric connecting member (50) can be raised or lowered by being connected to a hydraulic device including, for example, a cylinder or the like, or a ball screw, linear guide and drive motor. The hydraulic device includes a pneumatic device.

[0262] The fabric connecting portion (50) is positioned on the frame (1p) above the film (121, 131) released from the running fabric (12) and the standby fabric (13). At this time, the leading portion (20) is in a state of moving a preset distance in one direction (right direction in Fig. 1) after gripping the end side of the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13).

[0263] Specifically, the fabric connecting portion (50) is positioned above, and the suction portion (40) is positioned below. Then, the thin films (121, 131) released from the running fabric (12) and the standby fabric (13) are positioned between the fabric connecting portion (50) and the suction portion (40). At this time, the thin film (121) of the running fabric (12) is positioned above, and the thin film (131) of the standby fabric (13) is positioned below.

[0264] A plurality of rollers (52) are arranged around the fabric connecting portion (50).

[0265] The plurality of rollers (52) include a fourth roller (521) and a fifth roller (522).

[0266] The fourth roller (521) and the fifth roller (522) may be commonly used rollers.

[0267] The fourth roller (521) and the fifth roller (522) are arranged at a preset distance apart.

[0268] The fourth roller (521) and the fifth roller (522) can be connected to both sides of the fabric connecting portion (50) (specifically, the connecting portion body (51)). The connecting portion body (51) represents the body of the fabric connecting portion (50).

[0269] Specifically, the fourth roller (521) can be connected to one side (e.g., the left side in FIG. 1) of the connecting body (51), and the fifth roller (522) can be connected to the other side (e.g., the right side in FIG. 1) of the connecting body (51).

[0270] In addition, according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the fourth roller (521) and the fifth roller (522) may be connected to the frame (1p) and placed at positions adjacent to the connecting body (51) (on both sides of the connecting body (51)).

[0271] The fourth roller (521) and the fifth roller (522) can rotate while connected to the connecting body (51) or frame (1p).

[0272] The fourth roller (521) and the fifth roller (522) support the film (121) released from the running fabric (12), and when the running fabric (12) and the standby fabric (13) are connected, support the film (121) released from the running fabric (12) and the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13). In addition, the fourth roller (521) and the fifth roller (522) support the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13) (i.e., the running fabric (12)).

[0273] Other rollers may be further arranged on the frame (1p) to support the film (121) released from the running fabric (12). The other rollers may include a tension roller, and the tension roller may adjust the tension (or degree of tightness) of the film (121) released from the running fabric (12).

[0274] The process of connecting the film (121) released from the running fabric (12) and the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13) by the fabric connecting portion (50) is described in detail as follows.

[0275] When the thin film (121) of the running fabric (12) and the thin film (131) of the standby fabric (13) are laminated between the fabric connecting portion (50) and the suction portion (40), the fabric connecting portion (50) descends downward.

[0276] (1) The connecting tape (53) is unwound to a preset length from a roll on which the connecting tape (53) is wound (see (a) of Fig. 17a).

[0277] A roll wrapped with a connecting tape (53) may be placed on the connecting body (51) or placed adjacent to the connecting body (51).

[0278] One side of the connecting tape (53) has no adhesive force, and the other side has adhesive force.

[0279] The connecting tape (53) is an adhesive tape that connects the thin film (121) of the driving fabric (12) and the thin film (131) of the standby fabric (13).

[0280] The end side of the connecting tape (53) released from the roll is absorbed into the connecting tape absorbent portion (54).

[0281] The connecting tape adsorption portion (54) is formed in a plate shape of a preset size.

[0282] The connecting tape adsorption portion (54) is placed on the connecting portion body (51).

[0283] The connecting tape adsorption portion (54) adsorbs and holds one end surface of the connecting tape (53).

[0284] A plurality of air intake holes are formed on one side of the connecting tape suction portion (54). One side of the connecting tape suction portion (54) faces one side of the end of the connecting tape (53).

[0285] The winder (1) of the present invention includes components that enable the connecting tape suction portion (54) to move and components necessary for sucking air.

[0286] (2) The connecting tape adsorption part (54) sucks air and adsorbs one end surface of the connecting tape (53), and moves in one direction along the guide member (first guide member) (55) (see (b) of Fig. 17a).

[0287] The first guide member (55) may be a commonly used linear guide (LM guide) and is arranged (or connected) in one direction to the connecting body (51).

[0288] The first guide member (55) guides the connecting tape suction portion (54) to move in one direction.

[0289] When the connecting tape adsorption part (54) moves in one direction along the first guide member (55), the connecting tape (53) is unwound from the roll on which the connecting tape (53) is wound, and the end side of the connecting tape (53) adsorbed to the connecting tape adsorption part (54) moves together with the connecting tape adsorption part (54).

[0290] A connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) is arranged on one side (e.g., the lower side) of the first guide member (55).

[0291] The connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) is formed in a block shape and has a preset length. The preset length is arranged in the same direction (one direction) as the first guide member (55).

[0292] Specifically, the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) includes one end and the other end, and the one end and the other end of the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) are arranged in one direction along the first guide member (55).

[0293] When the connecting tape suction part (54) moves in one direction along the first guide member (55), the connecting tape suction part (54) moves from one end of the connecting tape pressure part (56) to the other end. At this time, the connecting tape (53) unwound from the roll on which the connecting tape (53) is wound is placed under the connecting tape pressure part (56). And, the other side (adhesive side) of the connecting tape (53) faces downward.

[0294] (3) The connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) absorbs and holds one side of the connecting tape (53) placed below (see (a) of Fig. 17b).

[0295] A plurality of air intake holes are formed on one side (e.g., the lower side) of the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56). One side (the lower side) of the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) faces one side (e.g., the upper side) of the connecting tape (53).

[0296] By the absorption of the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56), the upper surface of the connecting tape (53) is absorbed onto the lower surface of the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56). At this time, the other surface (adhesive surface) of the connecting tape (53) faces downward.

[0297] The winder (1) of the present invention includes components necessary for the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) to suck in air.

[0298] When the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) grips one side of the connecting tape (53), the connecting tape suction portion (54) no longer suctions and releases the connecting tape (53).

[0299] The connecting tape adsorption portion (54) is connected to the cylinder portion (fifth cylinder portion) (57). The fifth cylinder portion (57) represents a commonly used cylinder device, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0300] The connecting tape suction part (54) can be raised or lowered by the fifth cylinder part (57). That is, the fifth cylinder part (57) lowers the connecting tape suction part (54).

[0301] In addition, according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the winder (1) of the present invention may be provided with a driving motor and a component connected thereto instead of the fifth cylinder portion (57), and the connecting tape suction portion (54) may be raised or lowered by the driving motor and the component connected thereto.

[0302] (4) The connecting tape suction part (54) lowered by the fifth cylinder part (57) moves in the opposite direction along the first guide member (55) and returns to its original position (see (b) of Fig. 17b).

[0303] And, the connecting tape cutting portion (58) placed on one end side of the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) cuts the connecting tape (53). At this time, the connecting tape cutting portion (58) cuts the connecting tape (53) in the width direction of the connecting tape (53).

[0304] As a certain point of the connecting tape (53) is cut by the connecting tape cutting section (58), a cut connecting tape (53) of a preset size is adsorbed on one side of the connecting tape pressurizing section (56).

[0305] (5) A suction part (40) is placed below the connecting tape pressurizing part (56). A thin film (121) of the running fabric (12) and a thin film (131) of the standby fabric (13) are laminated on the upper surface of the suction part (40) (see (a) of Fig. 17c).

[0306] When the connecting tape (53) is cut, the suction part (40) rises or the fabric connecting part (50) (specifically, the connecting part body (51)) descends.

[0307] (6) The thin film cutting section (59) arranged on the connecting body (51) cuts the thin film (121) of the laminated running fabric (12) and the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13) (see (b) of Fig. 17c). The thin film cutting section (59) can be arranged on the lower side of the connecting body (51) so as to be able to cut the laminated thin films (121, 131).

[0308] Since the thin film cutting section (59) cuts the laminated thin films (121, 131), the cut surfaces of the laminated thin films (121, 131) are identical.

[0309] Specifically, since the thin film cutting section (59) vertically cuts the thin film (121) of the laminated running fabric (12) and the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13), the thin film (121) of the running fabric (12) and the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13) have cut surfaces that coincide in the vertical direction.

[0310] The thin film cutting section (59) moves in one direction along the guide member (second guide member) (60) and cuts the laminated thin film (121, 131).

[0311] The second guide member (60) may be a commonly used linear guide (LM guide) and is arranged (or connected) in one direction to the connecting body (51).

[0312] The second guide member (60) guides the thin film cutting section (59) to move in one direction.

[0313] When the thin film cutting section (59) moves in one direction along the second guide member (60), the thin film (121) of the laminated running fabric (12) and the thin film (131) of the air fabric (13) are cut in the width direction.

[0314] When the laminated thin films (121, 131) are cut, the running fabric (12) placed on the turret part (10) rotates to wind the thin film (first running thin film) (1211) connected to the running fabric (12) (see Fig. 18).

[0315] Accordingly, when the upper surface of the suction part (40) is viewed from above, a thin film (first atmospheric thin film) (1311) connected to the atmospheric fabric (13) placed on the turret part (10) and a thin film (second driving thin film) (1212) cut (separated) from the driving fabric (12) are placed on the upper surface of the suction part (40).

[0316] (7) The connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) moves (e.g., descends) toward the suction portion (40). Accordingly, the connecting tape (53) adsorbed on the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) comes into contact with the first atmospheric film (1311) and the second driving film (1212), thereby connecting the first atmospheric film (1311) and the second atmospheric film (1212) (see FIG. 17d).

[0317] The adhesive surface of the connecting tape (53) covers the cut surface of the first atmospheric thin film (1311) and the cut surface of the second running thin film (1212) from above, thereby connecting the thin film (first atmospheric thin film) (1311) of the atmospheric fabric (13) and the thin film (second running thin film) (1212) cut (separated) from the running fabric (12) (see Fig. 19).

[0318] The connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) is connected to the cylinder portion (sixth cylinder portion) (61). The sixth cylinder portion (61) represents a commonly used cylinder device, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0319] The connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) can be raised or lowered by the sixth cylinder portion (61). That is, the sixth cylinder portion (61) lowers the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56).

[0320] In addition, according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, the winder (1) of the present invention may be provided with a driving motor and a component connected thereto instead of the sixth cylinder portion (61), and the connecting tape pressurizing portion (56) may be raised or lowered by the driving motor and the component connected thereto.

[0321] Through the process described above, the thin film (131) released from the standby fabric (13) is connected to the thin film (121) separated from the driving fabric (12), so the standby fabric (13) is released continuously following the driving fabric (12).

[0322] Meanwhile, the thin film (second atmospheric thin film) (1312) cut (separated) from the atmospheric fabric (13) is gripped by the head (23) of the leading part (20) and moves toward the bottom of the frame (1p) by the movement of the leading part (20).

[0323] In this way, the fabric connecting portion (50) connects the film (1311) connected to the standby fabric (13) and the film (1212) separated from the running fabric (12) at the location where the film (121) released from the running fabric (12) and the film (131) released from the standby fabric (13) are cut. Accordingly, the connection portions of the films (1311, 1212) are not misaligned, the manufacturing time of the winder (1) is shortened, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0331] In addition, the control unit can control at least some of the aforementioned components to execute commands input by the user and / or application programs stored in the memory. Furthermore, the control unit can operate at least two or more of the components included in the winder (1) of the present invention in combination to execute commands input by the user and application programs.
