Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Technical Field] The present invention relates to an improvement of a spare pad holder for a center type tape winding machine.

[Technical Background of the Invention and its Problems] Generally, a center type tape winding machine is constructed as shown in FIG. 3 has two taping heads 1 and 1, and spare pad holders 2 and 2 respectively provided on the downstream side of the taping heads in the pass line, and is pulled out from the supply reel 3. The wound core wire 4 passes through the taping head 1, the spare pad holder 2, the taping head 1, and the spare pad holder 2 in this order, is taped, and is wound onto the winding reel 5.

The spare pad holder 2 has a cylindrical body 2a that concentrically surrounds the pass line, and a plurality of spare tape pads 6 are provided in this cylindrical body.
Put on and store. Thus, when the tape pad on the tape pad holder 1a of the taping head 1 is used up, the spare pad at the front end of the cylindrical body 2a is shifted and moved onto the tape pad holder 1a to replenish the tape pad. To do. Further, when the spare tape pad on the spare tape pad holder 2 is exhausted and the spare tape pad holder 2 is replenished with a new spare tape pad, an operator standing on the side of the tape winding machine inserts the tape pad into the cylinder 2a. It is fitted to.

By the way, in order to perform taping as long as possible with one tape pad, a tape pad having a large diameter is often used. Thus, the large-diameter tape pad is heavy, and replenishment of the conventional spare pad holder with the spare tape pad is unfavorable because it is difficult to work and requires a large amount of labor.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and a center type tape winding machine that can replenish a tape pad of a large diameter without requiring much labor. To provide a spare pad holder.

[Summary of the Invention] A preliminary pad holder for a center type tape winding machine according to the present invention is provided with a sphere rotatably supported by a spherical surface receiver and positioned at both ends of a rotation range, and provided on the sphere along its diameter. And a cylindrical body fixed concentrically with each other.

In the spare pad holder of the center type tape winding machine having the above configuration, the tape pad can be placed on the spare tape pad holder by directing the tip of the cylinder toward the front of the operator or upward. The tape pad can be placed with good workability, and the setup time can be shortened.

[Embodiment of the Invention] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, a cylindrical body 10 is supported in a spherical surface receiving member 11 and is fixed to a spherical body 12 which is rotatable within a range of about 90 ° about a vertical axis with its diameter and axis aligned. The spherical body 12 is provided with a through hole 13 communicating with the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 10. The sphere 12 is driven by an air rotary actuator or a motor (not shown). That is, the spherical body 12 is rotated by any one of the drive sources, and the cylindrical body 10 is in a horizontal plane between a position where its axis coincides with the path line of the core line and a position horizontally separated from it by approximately 90 °. It will be moved.

The spare tape pad holder of the present invention having the above structure is used as follows. That is, during taping, similar to the conventional spare tape pad holder shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of spare tape pads are mounted on the cylinder 10 and the tip of the cylinder 10 is oriented toward the taping head. Further, the transfer of the spare tape pad from the spare tape pad holder to the tape pad holder of the tape winding machine is performed in the same manner as in the conventional spare tape pad holder.

When all the spare tape pads on the spare tape pad holder have been transferred to the tape pad holder of the tape winding machine and the last tape pad has been used up, the core wire is
Since it has passed through, the cylindrical body 10 can be rotated 90 ° with the spherical surface receiver 11 as a fulcrum. Therefore, the drive source is operated to rotate the cylinder 10 by 90 °, and the tip of the cylinder 10 is directed toward the operator. In this state, the operator holds the tape pad P in his hand, engages the central hole of the tape pad P with the cylindrical body 10, and mounts it on the spare tape pad holder.

When a predetermined number of spare tape pads have been mounted on the cylindrical body 10 as described above, the drive source is operated again to return the cylindrical body 10 to the original position. Here, the tape pad at the foremost end is moved to the tape pad holder of the tape winding machine, and taping is restarted.

As described above, in the tape pad holder of the present invention, the tape pad can be placed with the tip of the cylinder body of the spare tape pad holder facing the front of the operator. Even a heavy tape pad can be replenished with good workability. Also,
Since the rotation of the cylindrical body 10 is also performed by power, it is possible to save work.

FIG. 2 in which the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals is a front view of another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the sphere 12 is rotatable about the horizontal axis within a range of 90 °. That is, in this embodiment, by driving a drive source (not shown), the cylinder 10 is moved in a vertical plane between a position where its axis coincides with the path line of the core wire and a position separated by 90 ° above it. It will be.

In this embodiment, since the tape pad is mounted on the cylindrical body 10 by dropping the tape pad on the cylindrical body 10 which is rotationally oriented in the vertical position, the tape pad is supported close to the spare tape pad holder. If a table is installed and the tape pad is slid on the supporting table and dropped into the cylindrical body 10, the tape pad can be mounted more easily than in the above-described embodiment.

Resuming taping after the tape pad is placed on the cylindrical body 10, transfer of the tape pad to the tape pad holder of the tape winding machine during taping, and the like are performed in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment and the conventional spare tape pad holder. .

[Advantages of the Invention] As is apparent from the above, in the spare tape pad holder of the present invention, the spare tape pad can be replenished from the direction with good workability. Even if there is, it can be replenished with good workability and the setup time can be shortened.
