Abstract

To provide a tape winding machine excellent in a winding performance of a roll tape by suppressing a displacement of a roll tape winding object from a rotation center shaft.SOLUTION: A tape winding machine holds a roll tape 1 on an arm 3 connected by a rotary shaft 4 fixed to a rotary plate 5. When the rotary plate 5 rotates and the tape drawn out from the roll tape 1 is wound around an object 9, the roll tape 1 held by the arm 3 moves in a direction of the object 9 by a tension applied between the roll tape 1 and the object 9, thereby a position regulation part 8 provided to the arm 3 regulates the position of the object 9 into a central region including a rotation center shaft. When winding the tape, the rotary plate 5 rotates and the tension is applied to the tape between the roll tape 1 and the object 9, thereby the position regulation part 8 is kept at a position for regulating the position of the object 9 into the central region including the rotation center shaft. By this operation, a displacement of the object 9 from the position on the rotation center shaft is suppressed, and appropriate tape winding is performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Description

本発明は、ロールテープを電線束などの対象物に巻き付けるテープ巻付機に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a tape winding machine that winds a roll tape around an object such as a bundle of electric wires.

従来、車両用のワイヤーハーネスの製造の一部として、電線束やそれを覆う外装部材にテープを巻き付けるテープ巻付装置が提案されている。このテープ巻付装置に装備されているテープ巻付機は、対象物と直交する面内で回転する回転プレートに支持されたテープが、回転中心軸上に架け渡された対象物の周囲を回り、電線などの対象物にテープを巻き付けるものである。 Conventionally, as a part of manufacturing a wire harness for a vehicle, a tape winding device for winding a tape around an electric wire bundle and an exterior member covering the electric wire bundle has been proposed. In the tape winding machine equipped with this tape winding device, the tape supported by a rotating plate that rotates in a plane orthogonal to the object rotates around the object spanned on the center axis of rotation. , The tape is wrapped around an object such as an electric wire.

テープ巻付装置は、対象物を中心としてテープを回転させる旋回手段として、対象物と直交する面内に配置された固定プレートと、隣接配置された回転プレートを備え、回転プレートは、対象物と直交する面内で回転駆動される。 The tape winding device includes a fixed plate arranged in a plane orthogonal to the object and a rotating plate arranged adjacent to the object as a swivel means for rotating the tape around the object. It is rotationally driven in orthogonal planes.

テープ巻付機の回転中心軸上に対象物を挿抜するために、固定プレートと回転プレートに、外周縁から回転中心軸を含む中央領域に向けてU字状の切欠が設けられている場合がある。これらのテープ巻付機では、固定プレートの切欠と、回転プレートの切欠が揃った状態で、対象物が挿抜される。 In order to insert and remove the object on the rotation center axis of the tape winder, the fixing plate and the rotation plate may be provided with a U-shaped notch from the outer peripheral edge toward the central region including the rotation center axis. is there. In these tape winding machines, the object is inserted and removed with the notch of the fixed plate and the notch of the rotating plate aligned.

従来のテープ巻付装置が備えるテープ巻付機は、テープを巻き付ける時にテープの引き剥がし粘着力(テープ自背面の非粘着面に対する粘着力)によって、ロールテープと対象物との間に張り渡されたテープに張力が生じ、対象物がロールテープ方向に引き寄せられ、対象物が回転中心軸上から変位することで、適正な巻き付けが出来ない場合があった。 The tape wrapping machine provided in the conventional tape wrapping device is stretched between the roll tape and the object by the tape peeling adhesive force (adhesive force against the non-adhesive surface of the back surface of the tape) when the tape is wound. Tension is generated in the tape, the object is attracted toward the roll tape, and the object is displaced from the center axis of rotation, so that proper winding may not be possible.

テープ巻付機から対象物を挿抜するために、固定プレートと回転プレートに、外周縁から回転中心軸を含む中央領域に向けてU字状の切欠がある装置では、対象物が回転中心軸上から変位することによって、固定プレートと回転プレートが交差する部分に対象物が噛みこみ、対象物に傷がつく場合があった。 In a device where the fixed plate and the rotating plate have a U-shaped notch from the outer peripheral edge toward the central region including the central axis of rotation in order to insert and remove the object from the tape winder, the object is on the central axis of rotation. Due to the displacement from, the object may bite into the intersection of the fixed plate and the rotating plate, and the object may be damaged.

本発明は、上述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的はロールテープの巻き付け性能に優れたテープ巻付機を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tape winding machine having excellent roll tape winding performance.

本発明に係るテープ巻付機は、回転プレートに固定された回動軸で連結されたアームにロールテープを保持し、回転プレートが回転し、ロールテープからテープを対象物に巻き付けるとき、ロールテープと対象物の間に加わる張力によって、アームに保持されたロールテープが対象物の方向に移動することで、アームに備えられた位置規制部が、対象物を、回転中心軸を含む中央領域に位置規制することで、対象物の回転中心軸上からの変位が抑制され、適正な巻き付けが行われる。 The tape winding machine according to the present invention holds the roll tape on an arm connected by a rotating shaft fixed to the rotating plate, and when the rotating plate rotates and the tape is wound around the object from the roll tape, the roll tape The tension applied between the arm and the object causes the roll tape held by the arm to move in the direction of the object, and the position control unit provided on the arm moves the object to the central region including the central axis of rotation. By restricting the position, the displacement of the object from the rotation center axis is suppressed, and proper winding is performed.

本発明に係るテープ巻付機は、回転プレートが停止し、ロールテープと対象物の間に張力が加わっていないとき、アームを回転外方向に回動させることで、位置規制部が対象物の挿抜の邪魔にならない位置まで退避する。 In the tape wrapping machine according to the present invention, when the rotating plate is stopped and tension is not applied between the roll tape and the object, the arm is rotated in the outward rotation direction so that the position regulating unit is the object. Evacuate to a position that does not interfere with insertion and removal.

本発明により、ロールテープの巻き付け性能に優れたテープ巻付機、及び、そのテープ巻付機を備えたテープ巻付装置を提供できる。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a tape wrapping machine having excellent roll tape wrapping performance and a tape wrapping device including the tape wrapping machine.

図1は本発明に係るテープ巻付機の斜視図である。FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tape winding machine according to the present invention. 図2はテープを巻き付ける動作を示す斜視図である。FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an operation of winding the tape. 図3(a)はテープを巻き始める動作を示す概略図である。図3(b)はテープを巻き付ける動作を示す概略図である。図3(c)はテープを巻き終わった状態を示す概略図である。FIG. 3A is a schematic view showing an operation of starting to wind the tape. FIG. 3B is a schematic view showing an operation of winding the tape. FIG. 3C is a schematic view showing a state in which the tape has been wound.

図1に示すように、回転プレート5に固定された回動軸4で連結されたアーム3の先端部にホルダー部2が設けられロールテープ1(粘着テープ)を保持している。アーム3に位置規制部8を備え、回転プレートに支持部7が設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 1, a holder portion 2 is provided at the tip of an arm 3 connected by a rotating shaft 4 fixed to the rotating plate 5 to hold the roll tape 1 (adhesive tape). The arm 3 is provided with a position regulating portion 8, and the rotating plate is provided with a support portion 7.

回動軸4は、ロールテープ1、ホルダー部2、アーム3、位置規制部8、の自重によって回動しないだけの保持力があり、且つ、ロールテープ1から対象物9に張り渡されたテープが対象物9に巻き取られ、ロールテープ1と対象物9との間に張力が加わった時には、ロールテープ1からテープを引き出さず、アーム3が回動する範囲の保持力であること。 The rotating shaft 4 has a holding force that does not rotate due to the weight of the roll tape 1, the holder portion 2, the arm 3, and the position regulating portion 8, and is a tape stretched from the roll tape 1 to the object 9. Is wound around the object 9, and when tension is applied between the roll tape 1 and the object 9, the tape is not pulled out from the roll tape 1 and the holding force is within the range in which the arm 3 rotates.

アーム3の回動範囲は、回転内方向へは、ロールテープ1が対象物9を押圧しない範囲、且つ、位置規制部が対象物9を押圧しない範囲で規制する。回転外方向へは、ロールテープ1の中心が、回転中心軸と回動軸4の中心とを結ぶ線の延長線を超えない範囲で規制する。 The rotation range of the arm 3 is restricted in the rotation inward direction within a range in which the roll tape 1 does not press the object 9 and a position regulating portion does not press the object 9. In the outward rotation direction, the center of the roll tape 1 is regulated within a range not exceeding the extension line of the line connecting the rotation center axis and the center of the rotation shaft 4.

図2を参照しつつテープ巻付機の動作について説明する。図3はテープ巻付動作を行う回転プレート5、アーム3、位置規制部8を示す概略図である。 The operation of the tape winding machine will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a rotating plate 5, an arm 3, and a position regulating portion 8 that perform a tape winding operation.

まず、作業者の手又は装置に保持され、回転プレート5の中心軸上に架け渡された対象物9(電線束等)を支持部7で支持する。この時、位置規制部8は、アーム3を回動軸4を軸に回転外方向に回動させることで、対象物9の挿抜の邪魔にならない位置まで退避している。 First, the object 9 (wire bundle or the like) held by the operator's hand or device and bridged on the central axis of the rotating plate 5 is supported by the support portion 7. At this time, the position regulating unit 8 retracts the arm 3 to a position where it does not interfere with the insertion / removal of the object 9 by rotating the arm 3 in the outward rotation direction around the rotation shaft 4.

回転プレート5に回動軸4で連結されたアーム3の先端部に保持されたロールテープ1のテープ端部を引き出し、対象物9に貼り付ける。 The tape end of the roll tape 1 held at the tip of the arm 3 connected to the rotating plate 5 by the rotating shaft 4 is pulled out and attached to the object 9.

図3(a)に示すように、駆動装置からの駆動力を受けて回転プレート5が回転方向10の方向に回転を始めることで、ロールテープ1から対象物9に張られたテープが対象物9に巻き取られ、ロールテープ1と対象物9の間に張力が加わる。回転プレート5とアーム3を連結している回動軸4の保持力は、テープの引き剥がし粘着力(テープ自背面の非粘着面に対する粘着力)より小さいため、テープが引き出されることなく、回動軸4を軸として、アーム3がロールテープ1を対象物9に近づける方向である回動方向11(回転内方向)に回動する。ロールテープ1から対象物9にテープを巻き取りながらロールテープ1を対象物9に近づける時、テープを引き出さずに対象物9にテープを巻き付けるため、対象物9に加わるロールテープ1方向への引張力が抑制される。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the rotating plate 5 starts rotating in the direction of rotation 10 in response to the driving force from the driving device, so that the tape stretched from the roll tape 1 to the object 9 is the object. It is wound around 9 and tension is applied between the roll tape 1 and the object 9. Since the holding force of the rotating shaft 4 connecting the rotating plate 5 and the arm 3 is smaller than the peeling adhesive force of the tape (adhesive force against the non-adhesive surface of the back surface of the tape), the tape can be rotated without being pulled out. With the moving shaft 4 as the axis, the arm 3 rotates in the rotation direction 11 (inward rotation direction), which is the direction in which the roll tape 1 is brought closer to the object 9. When the roll tape 1 is brought close to the object 9 while winding the tape from the roll tape 1 to the object 9, the tape is wound around the object 9 without pulling out the tape, so that the tape is pulled in the direction of the roll tape 1 applied to the object 9. The force is suppressed.

回転プレート5が回転方向10の方向に回転することで、アーム3が回動方向11の方向に回動し、アーム3に備えられた位置規制部8が回転プレート5に設けられた支持部7と接する位置まで回動する。この時、支持部7と位置規制部8によって、対象物9が回転中心軸を含む中央領域に位置規制される。 When the rotary plate 5 rotates in the direction of rotation 10, the arm 3 rotates in the direction of rotation 11, and the position regulating portion 8 provided on the arm 3 is provided on the rotary plate 5 as a support portion 7. It rotates to the position where it comes into contact with. At this time, the object 9 is positioned in the central region including the rotation center axis by the support portion 7 and the position restricting portion 8.

図2、図3(b)に示すように、テープ巻付動作中は、回転プレート5が回転方向10の方向に回転することで、ロールテープ1から対象物9に張られたテープが対象物9に巻き取られ、ロールテープ1と対象物9の間に張力が加わる。アーム3は位置規制部8が支持部7と接する位置で回動が規制されるため、アーム3に保持されているロールテープ1は、回転内方向への移動が規制され保持される。ロールテープ1が回転内方向に移動しないため、テープの張力によって、ロールテープ1からテープが引き出されながら、テープが対象物9に巻き付けられる。回転プレート5が回転している時は、ロールテープ1と対象物9との間にはテープの引き剥がし粘着力(テープ自背面の非粘着面に対する粘着力)による張力が加わっているため、アーム3は位置規制部8が支持部7と接する位置に保たれる。この時、支持部7と位置規制部8によって、対象物9は回転中心軸を含む中央領域に位置規制される。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3B, during the tape winding operation, the rotating plate 5 rotates in the direction of rotation 10, so that the tape stretched from the roll tape 1 to the object 9 is the object. It is wound around 9 and tension is applied between the roll tape 1 and the object 9. Since the rotation of the arm 3 is restricted at the position where the position regulating portion 8 is in contact with the support portion 7, the roll tape 1 held by the arm 3 is restricted from moving inward in rotation and is held. Since the roll tape 1 does not move inward in rotation, the tension of the tape causes the tape to be wound around the object 9 while being pulled out from the roll tape 1. When the rotating plate 5 is rotating, tension is applied between the roll tape 1 and the object 9 due to the adhesive force of peeling the tape (adhesive force against the non-adhesive surface of the back surface of the tape), so that the arm Reference numeral 3 is maintained at a position where the position regulating portion 8 is in contact with the support portion 7. At this time, the object 9 is positioned in the central region including the rotation center axis by the support portion 7 and the position restricting portion 8.

図3(c)に示すように、テープを巻き終わり、回転プレート5の回転が停止した状態では、ロールテープ1の引き剥がし粘着力(テープ自背面の非粘着面に対する粘着力)によって、テープは引き出されず、アーム3は位置規制部8が支持部7と接する位置に保たれる。 As shown in FIG. 3C, when the tape has been wound and the rotation of the rotating plate 5 has stopped, the tape is released by the peeling adhesive force of the roll tape 1 (adhesive force against the non-adhesive surface on the back surface of the tape itself). The arm 3 is not pulled out, and the arm 3 is kept in a position where the position regulating portion 8 is in contact with the support portion 7.

ロールテープ1から対象物9に張り渡されたテープを切断することで、アーム3は容易に回動可能となり、アーム3を、回動軸4を軸に回転外方向に回動させることで、位置規制部8を対象物9の挿抜の邪魔にならない位置まで退避し、テープ巻付機から対象物9を取り外す。 By cutting the tape stretched from the roll tape 1 to the object 9, the arm 3 can be easily rotated, and the arm 3 is rotated around the rotation shaft 4 in the outward rotation direction. The position regulating unit 8 is retracted to a position where it does not interfere with the insertion and removal of the object 9, and the object 9 is removed from the tape winding machine.

上述のように、テープ巻き付け時にアーム3に備えられた位置規制部8が、対象物9を回転中心軸を含む中央領域に保持することで、対象物9の回転中心軸上からの変位が抑制され、適正な巻き付けが行われる。 As described above, the position regulating unit 8 provided on the arm 3 at the time of winding the tape holds the object 9 in the central region including the rotation center axis, so that the displacement of the object 9 from the rotation center axis is suppressed. And proper winding is done.
