DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for continuously and automatically supplying a roll-shaped tape, and more particularly to forming a roll-shaped tape into a cassette, continuously and automatically supplying the cassette-shaped roll-shaped tape, and a roll-shaped tape. When the tape ends, the end of the tape and the leading end of the next new roll tape are automatically connected, and a plurality of roll tapes can be automatically supplied continuously without stopping the line. It relates to a continuous automatic feeder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when a signal to be transmitted is weak in a control cable, there is a great risk that a controlled object malfunctions due to an induction failure from another electric wire cable or an electric railway line. Therefore, it is necessary to shield the control cable so as not to receive this inductive obstacle. The electrostatic shielding required when there is a high-voltage electric wire near the control cable is performed by forming an aluminum-laminated plastic tape on the cable core and forming it vertically. The aluminum-laminated plastic tape that is vertically formed on the cable core is wound in a roll shape and needs to be continuously and continuously supplied.

Further, the continuously manufactured electric wire is usually wound up on a large cable drum, commercialized and shipped. However, electric wires for general indoor use such as VVF are often used little by little, and if they are wound on a large cable drum, they are inconvenient to carry and are not suitable. Therefore, for example, when using a smaller amount than before, 4
The doughnut-shaped cable bundle with a diameter of 00 mm is subdivided and sold. This donut-shaped cable bundle is wrapped with tape for sale. The packaging with this tape is automatically machine-wrapped after bundling a fixed amount.

The aluminum-laminated plastic tape which is vertically formed on the cable core and the tape which wraps the donut-shaped cable bundle are wound on a roll having a constant diameter, and these rolls are continuously connected. Then, it is necessary to continuously supply the tape. Therefore, conventionally, a tape supply device as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 has been used. 22 and 23 are connected to each other by a cutting portion indicated by a dashed line t in FIG. 22 and a cutting portion indicated by a dashed line u in FIG. 23 to form a conventional tape supply device.

That is, 100 is a tape supply device,
101 is a tape roll 10 attached to a stand 102
3 is a shaft that rotatably supports 3. A tape 104 is wound around the tape roll 103. 10
Reference numeral 5 denotes a pressing member that presses the tape 104 so that it cannot be unwound. 106 is a tape roll 10 for the tape 104.
A driving device for feeding the tape from the No. 3 and feeding it to the tape stocker 108 is configured to cooperate with the roller 107. Reference numeral 109 is a shaft that is attached to the gantry 102 and rotatably supports the tape roll 110. A tape 111 is wound around the tape roll 110. 112 is a tape roll 11 which is the end of the tape 111.
It is an adhesive tape to be attached to the wall surface of 0. 113
Is a pressing member that presses the tape 104 so that it cannot be unwound.

[0006] The tape supply device 10 having the above structure
0 means that when the tape 104 of the upper tape roll 101 is gone, a person temporarily stops the line and cuts the end portion of the tape 104 with scissors or the like, and sticks the end portion of the tape 111 of the lower tape roll 110 to the end portion. Connect manually with tape. When the connection between the end of the tape 104 and the end of the tape 111 is completed, the line is activated again.

[0007]

In such a conventional tape supply device 100, when the tape is connected between the two tape rolls, the line is temporarily stopped so that the end portion and the tip end portion are separated from each other. Since it is connected, there is a problem that operation efficiency is extremely poor.

When the tape on one of the tape rolls is used up, a person cuts the end of the tape with scissors and the like, and manually connects the leading end of the tape on the new tape roll with an adhesive tape or the like. Therefore, there is a problem that the worker has to look around in a short period of time regularly, which is troublesome.

According to the present invention, a roll-shaped tape is formed into a cassette, the cassette-shaped roll-shaped tape is continuously and automatically supplied, and when the roll tape runs out, the tape end portion and the next new roll-shaped tape An object of the present invention is to provide a continuous automatic feeder for a plurality of roll-shaped tapes, which is capable of automatically supplying continuous tapes without stopping the line by automatically connecting to the tips.
