Dual Reel Winding Device for Continuous Packaging Tape
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic product packaging, the need to replace fully wound reels with empty ones in the packaging tape winding process disrupts the packaging efficiency of the entire system, causing inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A product packaging tape winding device with a moving bracket and rotating shaft, allowing reels to be swapped without stopping the system, enabling continuous winding by moving one fully wound reel to a standby position and bringing an empty reel to the working position, utilizing a driving device and limit pieces to facilitate this process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the reel is fully wound with product packaging tape, then the winding process must be stopped to replace the reel, but this stops the entire packaging system and reduces productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The winding system is segmented into multiple independent reel groups (first group and second group). When one group is fully wound, the system can switch to another group without stopping the packaging process. This segmentation allows continuous operation by dividing the reel inventory into separate functional units that can be independently replaced.
Solution Approach 2:
Empty reels are pre-positioned in the reel groups, ready for immediate use. When a reel is fully wound, the system has already prepared replacement reels in standby positions, eliminating the need for time-consuming reel changes during operation. The preliminary arrangement of multiple reel groups ensures that a replacement is always available.
2Productivity
If a single reel is used for winding, then the device structure is simple, but the system must stop for reel replacement reducing continuous operation capability
Solution Approach 1:
The moving bracket and rotating shaft assembly serve multiple functions: they can hold multiple reel groups, enable automatic switching between groups, and maintain continuous winding operation. This multi-functional design allows a single mechanism to replace multiple simpler systems that would require manual intervention for reel changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates a moving bracket that can dynamically reposition reel groups along the rotating shaft. This dynamic capability allows the system to adaptively switch between different reel groups during operation, transforming a static single-reel configuration into a flexible multi-reel system that maintains continuous operation without excessive complexity.

AI summary
A product packaging tape winding device includes a moving bracket, a rotating shaft which is rotatably mounted on the moving bracket, and two groups of reels. The rotating shaft has two shaft parts extending from both sides of the moving bracket. The two groups of reels are installed on respective ones of the two shaft parts of the rotating shaft to rotate with the rotating shaft. The device is adapted such that when one group of reels has been fully wound with the product packaging tape, the moving bracket is moved to move the one group of reels from a working position to a standby position and move the other group of reels from the standby position to the working position, so as to continue winding the product packaging tape with the other group of reels.
