Description

Material belt laminating equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to a material belt laminating device, in particular to a material belt laminating device comprising a material belt transverse moving mechanism.

Background

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) have excellent properties such as light weight, high structural strength, high heat resistance, excellent fatigue strength, excellent creep resistance, high chemical resistance, and a small coefficient of thermal expansion, and thus are widely used in various industries, such as aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles, energy sources, civilian applications, civilian transportation equipment such as automobiles and bicycles, and even civil goods such as sports equipment, and have been growing in market scales in various countries, largely and year by year.

Generally, a carbon fiber reinforced polymer is a composite material made by adding or pre-impregnating carbon fibers (carbon fibers) to a base material such as resin (resin), and the finished product is usually a tape in a tape or sheet shape for facilitating the manufacturing process of attaching or laying on the surface of the product. Based on the materials, the tape can be broadly classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic. The thermosetting material area can use manpower or laminating equipment to carry out automatic laminating, but still need through hot briquetting's procedure after the laminating. The thermoplastic material strip needs to be heated at high temperature in the laminating process, so that the thermoplastic material strip can be laminated only by laminating equipment.

To achieve the fitting, the fitting device may automatically convey the tape to a pressing head (fitting head) at the end of the tape, so that the pressing head presses and fits the tape on the surface of the product. However, in the currently available laminating apparatus, in order to enable the material belt to be directly used after being conveyed to the pressing head, the pressing head and the connected conveying mechanism generally form a structure with a larger volume, and therefore, the conventional laminating apparatus cannot be directly applied to the case that the surface of the product is surrounded into a closed shape.

For example, for a bicycle body or a wheel frame having a structure enclosing a closed area, the conventional attaching device cannot enter the area for attaching because the size of the portion for attaching at the end of the attaching device is too large, especially the narrow space at the corner of the body structure, and in view of this problem, the manufacturer can only use the manual attaching method of the thermosetting material belt, and for this reason, an additional development of a mold is needed to assist the hot-press molding of the thermosetting material belt in these areas. However, such a method of switching to manual bonding and additional development of a mold not only increases the process and manufacturing cost, but also reduces the continuity of the material tape on the surface of the product, thereby reducing the overall structural strength.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of this, the present invention provides a material tape attaching apparatus, which can meet the requirement of attaching a closed area.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tape attaching apparatus for attaching a tape to a workpiece is provided, including a tape wheel, a pressing head, and a tape traversing mechanism. The material belt wheel feeds the material belt to wind. The pressing head presses the material belt against the workpiece. The material belt transverse moving mechanism is provided with a material belt inlet, a material belt transverse moving channel and a material belt outlet. The material belt inlet is communicated with the material belt outlet through the material belt transverse moving channel. The tape inlet receives a tape. The material belt transverse moving channel guides the material belt to the material belt outlet. The material belt outlet sends the material belt to the pressure head. The material belt inlet and the material belt outlet are separated by a distance in the axial direction of the material belt cross-sliding mechanism.

According to the material belt laminating equipment disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the material belt inlet and the material belt outlet of the material belt transverse moving mechanism are separated by a distance in the axial direction of the material belt transverse moving mechanism, so that the material belt transverse moving mechanism can transversely move the material belt in a specific direction before the material belt is conveyed from the material belt wheel to the pressure head, and therefore, the volume of a part, needing to enter a product closed area for laminating, of the tail end of the material belt laminating equipment can be greatly reduced, and the material belt laminating equipment can be directly applied to a working environment with limited space.

Therefore, the material belt laminating equipment can laminate closed and non-closed areas by a single material belt, compared with the traditional laminating equipment with overlarge laminating end volume, the material belt laminating equipment provided by the invention does not need to adopt manual laminating of thermosetting material belts for solving the problem that the closed areas cannot be directly laminated, and certainly does not need to additionally develop a die for hot-press molding of the thermosetting material belts due to the use of the thermosetting material belts, and the material belt laminating equipment can ensure that the surface of the whole product uses a continuous seamless material belt, so that the material belt laminating equipment with the material belt transverse moving mechanism can greatly simplify the manufacturing process, reduce the manufacturing cost, shorten the time required by laminating and improve the overall structural strength.

The foregoing description of the disclosed embodiments and the following description are presented to illustrate and explain the principles and spirit of the invention and to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.

Unless specifically defined otherwise, these terms are not to be interpreted in an idealized or formal sense.

Referring to fig. 1, a tape application apparatus 1 for applying a tape (tape) T to a desired product surface, which includes an inner surface of the product forming a closed shape in addition to a generally flat or curved outer surface, is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in the drawings, the tape application apparatus 1 is capable of applying the tape T to a workpiece W having an inner surface surrounding an annular or other irregular closed region.

The tape T is a tape material made of carbon fiber (carbon fiber) or other polymers pre-impregnated in a base material such as resin (resin), and has the characteristics of high ductility, elasticity, light weight, high structural strength, high heat resistance, excellent fatigue strength, excellent creep resistance, high chemical resistance, small coefficient of thermal expansion, and the like, and can be used as a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) suitable for being attached to the surface of a product.

In addition, the tape T can be roughly classified into thermoplastic and thermosetting tapes according to the type and ratio of the resin, the thermosetting tapes can be cured by hot pressing through a vacuum (auto) process after being attached, and the thermoplastic tapes need to be heated at a high temperature by any suitable heating device while being attached. The heating device used herein can be, but is not limited to, laser, infrared, halogen lamp, gas flame, hot air heating, ultrasonic heating, etc., and the present invention is not particularly limited and not particularly shown. In addition, the invention is not limited by the type of the material tape T.

Further, in this embodiment and other embodiments, the tape laminating apparatus 1 at least includes a material belt wheel 10, a pressing head 20, a material belt traversing mechanism 30 and a cutter mechanism 40. In addition, to drive the tape traversing mechanism 30 and the cutter mechanism 40, the tape laminating apparatus 1 may further include a first power source PS1 and a second power source PS 2.

These elements can be arranged, for example, on a support device 2. The support means 2 is a part for fixing the components of the tape application device 1. The support mechanism 2 may be, but not limited to, connected to a suitable robot arm (not shown) to enable the whole body of the tape laminating apparatus 1 to move relative to the surface of the workpiece W, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the supporting mechanism 2 may instead be kept stationary, and instead the workpiece W may be moved relative to the supporting mechanism 2 and the tape applying apparatus 1 thereon.

The material belt wheel 10 can be used for winding the material belt T required for attaching the workpiece W thereon, but the present invention is not limited by the design of the material belt wheel 10 and the amount of the material belt T that can be carried by the material belt wheel.

The pressing head 20 may be, but not limited to, a roller pivoted on a fixing base (not numbered), and is capable of pressing and adhering the tape T against the surface of the workpiece W during the relative movement between the tape adhering apparatus 1 and the workpiece W. However, the present invention is not limited to the design of the ram 20, and in some embodiments, the ram may be modified to have other shapes that are not rollable. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the arrangement of the pressing head 20, for example, in some other embodiments, the pressing head 20 may be pivoted to a flexible elastic mechanism, so as to generate a flexible movement when the material tape T is pressed against the workpiece W.

The tape traversing mechanism 30 is disposed between the tape wheel 10 and the pressing head 20, and can be driven by the first power source PS1 to translate the tape T to a specific direction (as shown in the translation direction D1 of the tape traversing mechanism 30) by an appropriate distance before the pressing head 20. The translation direction D1 is substantially parallel to the axial direction a1 of the tape traversing mechanism 30, and the axial direction a1 of the tape traversing mechanism 30 is, for example, the central axis direction of the tape traversing channel 31 or the driving member 310 (described in the following paragraphs) of the tape traversing mechanism 30. Thus, as shown, the tape traversing mechanism 30 is capable of translating the tape T from the tape wheel 10 on the way to the ram 20 in a direction relatively away from the first power source PS1 or the + Y axis. Here, the first power source PS1 is, for example, a servo motor, and the translation direction D1 and the axial direction a1 are substantially parallel to the rotation axis direction (axial direction) of the first power source PS 1. However, the details and the purpose of the tape traversing mechanism 30 will be described in detail later. It should be noted that, in the case of using the thermoplastic material tape, the heating device may heat the material tape T passing between the pressing head 20 and the material tape traversing mechanism 30, for example, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The cutter mechanism 40 is disposed between the tape wheel 10 and the tape traversing mechanism 30, and can be driven by the second power source PS2 to cut the tape T sent to the tape traversing mechanism 30. However, the details of the cutter mechanism 40 will be described later.

In addition, in order to realize the transportation of the tape T between the tape wheel 10 and the pressing head 20, in this embodiment or other embodiments, the tape laminating apparatus 1 may further include a guiding structure (guide)70, a driving wheel (motor driver) 81, an idle wheel (idle roller)82, a plurality of guiding wheels 83, a third power source PS3, and a fourth power source PS 4.

The guiding structure 70 is located between the material belt wheel 10 and the material belt traversing mechanism 30, and can be used for guiding the material belt T to the material belt traversing mechanism 30 through the cutter mechanism 40. However, the guiding structure 70 may be optional, and the invention is not limited to the guiding structure 70 and the design thereof.

The third power source PS3 is, for example, a servo motor, the driving pulley 81 is disposed on the third power source PS3 and can be driven by the third power source PS3 to rotate, and the driving pulley 81 can actively feed the tape T from the tape wheel 10 to a specific direction, such as to the direction of the guiding structure 70. It should be noted that the outer surface of the driving wheel 81 may be, but not limited to, made of a material with a soft texture but a certain friction coefficient, such as high-friction rubber, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The driven wheel 82 is located at one side of the driving wheel 81, and when the tape T is driven by the driving wheel 81 to pass through between the driving wheel 81 and the driven wheel 82, the driving wheel 81 can drive the driven wheel 82 to rotate in the opposite direction through the tape T. The driven wheel 82 helps to guide the feeding of the tape T and also helps to strip the adhesive (not shown) from the tape T and carry it to other areas (not shown) where the adhesive is recovered, but the invention is not limited thereto. Of course, if a tape without the gum is used, there is no need to recycle the gum.

In addition, in some embodiments, the tape laminating apparatus 1 may further include a first translatable frame 91, the first translatable frame 91 may be movably disposed on the supporting mechanism 2, and the driving wheel 81 may be disposed on the first translatable frame 91 to be relatively close to or far away from the driven wheel 82 along with the adjustment of the first translatable frame 91, so as to finely adjust the distance between the driving wheel 81 and the driven wheel 82. The first translatable frame 91 may be optional, and is not intended to limit the present invention.

The guide wheel 83 can assist in guiding the tape T to be fed in a desired direction between the tape wheel 10 and the driving wheel 81. In addition, in some embodiments, the tape laminating apparatus 1 may further include one or more second translatable frames (not shown), and the guide wheel 83 may be translatably and adjustably disposed on the supporting mechanism 2 through the second translatable frames, so as to adjust the position of the guide wheel 83 to adjust the tension of the tape T. However, the second translatable frame is optional and not intended to limit the present invention.

The fourth power source PS4 is, for example, a servo motor, and the material belt wheel 10 can be disposed on the fourth power source PS4 and driven by the fourth power source PS4 to rotate, so as to continuously feed the material belt T in a specific direction. Meanwhile, the fourth power source PS4 can also be used to adjust the tension of the tape T to prevent the tape T from loosening from the driving wheel 81.

However, it should be noted that the driving wheel 81, the driven wheel 82, the guiding wheel 83, the third power source PS3, and the fourth power source PS4 may be selected. For example, in other embodiments, the tape laminating apparatus may not include the driving wheel 81, the driven wheel 82, the guide wheel 83, the third power source PS3, and the fourth power source PS4, in which case the ram 20 may continuously take the tape T from the tape wheel 10 by moving relative to the workpiece W.

Next, referring to fig. 2, in the embodiment, the cutting mechanism 40 includes a cutting blade 410, a pressed member 430 and a pressing plate 450, and the second power source PS2 is, for example, a cylinder motor and may have a piston member 470. The cutting blade 410 is fixed on the pressed element 430, one or more elastic restoring elements (not numbered) may be interposed between the pressed element 430 and the pressing plate 450, and the end of the piston element 470 abuts against a pressed inclined surface 431 of the pressed element 430 and is driven by the second power source PS2 to perform a telescopic motion in one direction. The inclined receiving surface 431 is at an angle with respect to the extending and retracting direction of the piston 470 and the moving direction of the receiving member 430, so that the force of the piston 470 pushing against the receiving member 430 in one direction (e.g., the pushing direction D2) can be converted into a power for feeding the cutting blade 410 in another direction (e.g., the feeding direction D3).

Under this configuration, in the process that the piston member 470 pushes the abutting inclined surface 431 of the abutting member 430 in the abutting direction D2, the abutting member 430 can push the pressing plate 450 downward to press the tape T by pushing the elastic restoring member, and as the piston member 470 continues to move in the abutting direction D2 and slides along the abutting inclined surface 431, the abutting member 430 also continues to drive the cutting knife 410 to a position where the tape T can be cut off in the feeding direction D3, so as to cut off the pressed tape T. When the operation is completed, the second power source PS2 retracts the piston 470, and the elastic restoring member is restored to restore the pressed member 430, the cutting blade 410 thereon, and the pressing plate 450.

Referring to the tape traversing mechanism 30, and referring to fig. 3-4, in general, in the present embodiment, the tape traversing mechanism 30 may have a tape traversing channel 31, a tape inlet 32, and a tape outlet 33. The tape traversing path 31 is a spiral path extending from the axial direction a1 to a direction relatively far away from the first power source PS1, or the tape traversing path 31 may be a spiral path extending along a rotating axis direction (not shown) of the first power source PS 1. The tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33 are offset or separated from each other in the translation direction D1 or the axial direction a1 of the tape traverse channel 31, so that the tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33 are respectively communicated with different positions of the tape traverse channel 31. Specifically, the tape inlet 32 communicates with a portion of the tape traversing path 31 relatively close to the first power source PS1, and the tape outlet 33 communicates with another portion of the tape traversing path 31 relatively far from the first power source PS 1. The tape T can enter the tape traverse path 31 through the tape inlet 32 and be fed toward the tape outlet 33 along the tape traverse path 31, thereby being moved laterally by a specific distance in the translation direction D1, the axial direction a1 of the tape traverse path 31, or the rotational axis direction of the first power source PS1, and then be released from the tape traverse mechanism 30 from the tape outlet 33. That is, the tape T can be laterally moved by the tape traversing mechanism 30 from a position closer to the first power source PS1 to a position farther from the first power source PS1 in the translation direction D1, the axial direction a1 of the tape traversing path 31, or the direction of the rotation axis of the first power source PS 1.

More specifically, in the present embodiment, the tape traversing mechanism 30 may include a driving member 310 and a guiding member 330. The driving member 310 may be connected to the first power source PS1 to be rotated by the first power source PS 1. The driving member 310 is generally cylindrical, and a spiral protrusion 311 protrudes from an outer surface thereof and extends in a direction relatively away from the first power source PS1 along the translation direction D1 or the axial direction a 1. The guide member 330 is slightly cylindrical and immovably located at one side of the driving member 310, and the guide member 330 is not in direct contact with the driving member 310. The tape traverse path 31, the tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33 are all located on the guide member 330, and the spiral protrusion 311 on the driving member 310 corresponds to the tape traverse path 31 on the guide member 330.

In detail, in the present embodiment, the guide member 330 may include a column core 331 and a cover body 333, the tape traverse path 31 is a spiral groove extending around a central axis of the column core 331 and formed on an outer surface of the column core 331, the cover body 333 is sleeved on the column core 331, and the tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33 are located on the cover body 333 and are capable of communicating with the tape traverse path 31 on the column core 331 by passing through two holes of the cover body 333. Thus, the tape T can enter the cover body 333 through the tape inlet 32 of the cover body 333 to the tape traverse path 31 on the post 331, and can be fed to the tape outlet 33 of the cover body 333 along the tape traverse path 31 to protrude from the cover body 333.

In addition, the cover body 333 further has a plurality of through holes 3331, and the through holes 3331 are disposed between the tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33 and spaced from each other along the translation direction D1 or the axial direction a 1. In the embodiment, the through hole 3331, the tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33 may be arranged along a straight line and located on the same side of the cover body 333, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the through holes 3331 arranged along a line may be located on different sides of the mask body from the tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33, depending on the actual requirements. For example, in some other embodiments, the through-hole 3331, the tape inlet 32 and the tape outlet 33 may all be located on different sides of the mask body. The perforations 3331 may correspond to the helical projections 311 of the driving member 310 and the tape traverse channel 31 of the post core 331, such that the helical projections 311 can contact or push against the tape T located in the tape traverse channel 31 through the perforations 3331.

Thus, when the driving member 310 is driven to rotate by the first power source PS1, the spiral protrusions 311 of the driving member 310 can continuously push the tape T in the tape traverse channel 31 on the post core 331 to pull the tape T into the tape inlet 32 and simultaneously feed the tape T along the tape traverse channel 31 to the tape outlet 33, so as to transversely guide the tape T in the translation direction D1, the axial direction a1 or a direction relatively far away from the first power source PS 1. As shown in fig. 4, the tape T traversing via the tape traversing mechanism 30 and protruding from the tape outlet 33 can then be passed under the ram 20 for subsequent use by the ram 20.

Therefore, the whole material belt laminating device 1 can only need the pressing head 20 and part of the material belt traversing mechanism 30 to enter the closed area for laminating, and therefore, compared with the conventional laminating device, the volume of the part of the material belt laminating device 1 for rolling lamination is greatly reduced. This breakthrough enables the tape application device 1 to be used directly for joining product surfaces with closed areas.

Referring to fig. 1 or fig. 5A, for the application of the bonding wheel frame (the workpiece W as shown in the figure), the pressing head 20 and a part of the tape traversing mechanism 30 of the tape bonding apparatus 1 have small volume, and thus can directly enter the enclosed area of the wheel frame for bonding. Alternatively, referring to fig. 5B, for attaching a bicycle body (shown as a working member W') having a closed region with a more severe shape change, the tape attaching device 1 can also directly enter the inner surface of the region surrounded by the frame for attaching.

Therefore, the design that the material belt T is transversely moved towards a specific direction through the material belt transverse moving mechanism 30 can greatly reduce the volume of the part, which needs to enter a product closed area to be attached, of the tail end of the material belt attaching device 1, so that the material belt attaching device 1 can be directly applied to a working environment with limited space.

From this breakthrough, material area laminating equipment 1 can laminate closed with the non-closed region with single strip material, compare in the too big laminating equipment of tradition laminating end volume, material area laminating equipment 1 need not change the artifical thermosetting material area of laminating for the problem that can't directly laminate in the closed region, certainly also need not additionally develop the mould in hot briquetting thermosetting material area because of the use in thermosetting material area, and, material area laminating equipment 1 can also ensure that whole product surface uses continuous seamless material area, can know, material area laminating equipment 1 can simplify manufacturing procedure by a wide margin, reduce manufacturing cost, shorten the required time of laminating, can also promote holistic structural strength.

It should be noted that, for the tape traversing mechanism of the present invention, the first power source PS1 can be selected; for example, in some other embodiments, the tape laminating apparatus of the present invention may omit the first power source that directly activates the tape traversing mechanism, in which case the tape can be continuously passed through the tape traversing mechanism by the pulling force generated by the pressing head pressing the tape along the surface of the workpiece.

The material tape traversing mechanism of the foregoing embodiment is only one example of the invention, and the invention is not limited thereto. For example, referring to fig. 6A to 6B, the present embodiment provides a material tape traversing mechanism 30', it should be noted that for the purpose of brief description, only the differences between the embodiments are described below, and the same or similar parts of the present embodiment as those of the previous embodiments can be understood by referring to the foregoing contents, and will not be described again.

In this embodiment, the material belt traversing mechanism 30' may further include a linking wheel 51 and a linking belt 53, wherein the linking wheel 51 can be directly connected to the end of the rotating shaft (not numbered) of the first power source PS1 or connected to the rotating shaft of the first power source PS1 through other suitable structures. The driving member 310 'of the tape traversing mechanism 30' is a cylindrical structure that can be directly sleeved on the column core 331 of the guiding member 330 ', and the driving member 310' is interposed between the tape inlet 32 'and the tape outlet 33' and can cover at least a portion of the tape traversing channel 31. Wherein the driving member 310' may not directly contact the surface of the column core 331. The coupling belt 53 is sleeved on the coupling wheel 51 and the driving member 310 'to transmit the kinetic energy of the first power source PS1 rotating the coupling wheel 51 to the driving member 310', so that the driving member 310 'is rotatably sleeved on the column core 331 of the guiding member 330'. And the cover body part 333 'of the guide member 330' is fitted over the other part of the column core part 331.

Therefore, when the driving member 310 'is driven to rotate by the first power source PS1 via the coupling wheel 51 and the coupling belt 53, the driving member 310' can directly contact and push the tape T in the tape traversing channel 31 on the post core 331 to feed the tape T from the tape inlet 32 'along the tape traversing channel 31 to the tape outlet 33', and can also transversely guide the tape T in the translation direction D1, the axial direction a1 or a direction relatively far away from the first power source PS 1.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 7A to 7B, the present embodiment provides a tape traversing mechanism 30 ", and similarly, for the purpose of brief description, only the differences between the embodiments are described below, and the same or similar parts of the present embodiment to the previous embodiments can be understood by referring to the foregoing contents, and will not be described again.

In this embodiment, the driving member 310 "of the tape traversing mechanism 30" may be a column structure with one surface having no spiral protrusion, the guiding member 330 "may have no column core portion as in the previous embodiments and only remain the cover portion 333" fixed and positioned in a suitable manner, and the cover portion 333 "can be sleeved on the driving member 310" and may not directly contact the surface of the driving member 310 ".
