Tape Winding Device Position Regulating Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tape winding devices often cause instability in the position of linear members during the winding process, leading to potential damage due to protrusion and catching between the fixed and rotation plates, which affects the quality of the tape winding.
Innovation Solution
A tape winding device with a position regulating member that stabilizes the linear member within the notches by moving from a retracted to a regulation position, preventing protrusion and ensuring the linear member remains at the bottom region, and a linear member holding mechanism that keeps the member close to the rotation axis, reducing wild movement and contact with equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the rotation plate is rotated relative to the fixed plate during winding, then the tape can be wound spirally around the harness, but the harness may protrude to the intersection point of the notch edges and be caught between the plates
Solution Approach 1:
The position regulating member is activated before the winding operation to pre-position the harness at the bottom of the notches. This preliminary positioning action prevents the harness from protruding during subsequent rotation, eliminating the risk of catching while maintaining winding efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The position regulating member acts as an intermediary component between the fixed plate and rotation plate, providing a controlling element that manages harness position. This mediator ensures the harness remains properly positioned without interfering with the rotational winding action
2Ease of operation
If the harness is inserted into the notches without position regulation, then the insertion and removal process is simple, but the harness position is unstable during rotation
Solution Approach 1:
The position regulating member transitions from a retracted state during insertion/removal to an active regulating state during rotation. This dynamic adjustment allows simple insertion while providing stability during the winding operation, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and position stability
3Productivity
If the harness is allowed to move freely during winding, then the winding process is faster, but the harness may move wildly and contact other equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The position regulating member provides localized constraint only at the critical notch region where the harness is inserted. This localized control prevents wild movement and equipment contact while allowing the rest of the winding process to proceed quickly without unnecessary restrictions

AI summary
A tape winding device includes a fixed plate having a fixed plate side notch, a rotation plate having a rotation plate side notch which the linear member to be inserted into or removed from when a position of the rotation plate side notch is aligned with a position of the fixed plate side notch, a tape support unit and a position regulating member configured to regulate a position of the linear member in the fixed plate side notch and the rotation plate side notch such that the linear member is located at the bottom region of the fixed plate side notch and the rotation plate side notch, the position regulating member having a distal end arm portion, the distal end arm portion running across an opening of the fixed plate side notch and extending over two opposing inner edges of the fixed plate side notch at a regulation position.
