Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sealing tape dispensers generally and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to novel electronically controlled sealing tape dispenser and method of use.
  • Mechanical and electronically controlled sealing tape dispensers are widely used for measuring a selected length of tape, cutting the tape, and also moistening the tape when reguired.
  • the type of tape used with such machines can be paper, cloth, plastic, reinforced, or combinations of these, for example.
  • the length of tape is typically determined by use of an encoder attached to a motor- driven shaft that presses against one side of the tape, while an idler wheel presses against the other side of the tape.
  • This arrangement is subject to slippage, both when the wheel starts rotating and when power is removed from the motor.
  • the percentage slippage varies with the length of tape being dispensed.
  • the tape cannot be cut instantaneously so the machine commands the tape to be cut before the selected length has been reached. Errors in length can occur because of tape speed variations and the fact that more or less than the amount of expected tape can be dispensed because the tape speed is not factored into the method of determining when to cut the tape. To compensate for these errors, it is common to set the tape dispenser to dispense a length of tape greater than necessary. While this doesn't usually affect the sealing of a carton, for example, the unnecessary length results in extra cost.
  • tape dispensers typically have means to add or subtract an increment of length and also have means to double or halve a selected length of tape
  • conventional tape dispensers have no means to double or halve the increment along with the selected length of tape.
  • a further limitation of conventional tape dispensers is that, if a length of tape different from the length of tape previously dispensed is desired, it is necessary to press the necessary length selection button(s) to have the second length dispensed. This reguires additional time on the part of the operator and also offers the opportunity for the operator to reguest the wrong length of tape, thus creating unnecessary cost and/or waste.
  • an electronically controlled sealing tape dispenser comprising: a housing; means disposed in said housing to select a first selected length of sealing tape to be dispensed; means disposed in said housing to dispense said first selected length of sealing tape; and electronic means to control dispensing of said first selected length of sealing tape.
  • Figure 1 is an isometric view of an electronic tape dispenser in which the present invention may be employed.
  • Figure 2 is a fragmentary side elevational view of a conventional tape dispenser.
  • Figure 3 is a fragmentary side elevational view of a tape dispenser according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control system according to the present invention.
  • Figure 5 is a top plan view of the tape dispenser keypad according to the present invention.
  • Figure 6 shows the seguence of steps for programming a tape dispenser of the present invention to automatically dispense desired lengths of tape.
  • Figure 7 is a block diagram of the control system of Figure 4 operatively connected to a remote host computer.
  • Figure 8 is a schematic/block diagram showing a plurality of electronic tape dispensing machines operatively connected to the host computer of Figure 7.
  • FIG 1 illustrates an electronically controlled tape dispenser of the type in which the present invention may be employed, the tape dispenser being generally indicated by the reference numeral 20.
  • Tape dispenser 20 includes a housing 30 having an external keypad 32 that includes a plurality of push buttons, as at 34. Push buttons 34 are used to select tape length to be dispensed from tape dispenser 20 and to perform other functions, as is described more fully below. Tape dispenser 20 further includes a water supply bottle 40, a water heater control 42, a slot 44 through which the tape (not shown) is dispensed, and a water applicator 46 for use when the tape is to be moistened. Electronic control circuitry is disposed within portion 50 of housing 30.
  • tape dispenser 20 The elements of tape dispenser 20 described above are common both to conventional tape dispensers and to a tape dispenser in which the present invention may be employed.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the side of a conventional tape dispenser 60 that includes protruding therethrough a drive wheel shaft 62 and an idler wheel shaft 64.
  • shaft 62 is coupled to an electric motor (not shown).
  • the idler wheel (not shown) mounted on idler wheel shaft 64 is raised by energization of a solenoid (not shown), creating a -nip between the idler wheel and the drive wheel (not shown) mounted on drive wheel shaft 62.
  • Rotation of drive wheel shaft 62 thus causes tape 70 to be dispensed from tape dispenser 60.
  • An apertured encoder wheel 80 is mounted to drive wheel shaft 62 to rotate with the drive wheel shaft and an optical sensor 82 detects the rotation of the encoder wheel and provides an output signal representative of the number of rotations of the wheel. This signal is then used to determine the length of tape 70 dispensed. As is noted above, however, slippage occurs between the drive wheel and tape 70, the percentage slippage varying in proportion to the length of the tape dispensed and, thus, the signal does not give an accurate measurement of the length of tape 70 dispensed. Furthermore, error is introduced when tape 70 is cut, as is also noted above .
  • Figure 3 illustrates the approach of the present invention to overcoming the problem of errors in sensed dispensed tape length.
  • a tape dispenser 60' has a drive wheel shaft 62' and an idler wheel shaft 64', all with the same forms and functions as described above with reference to Figure 2.
  • an apertured encoder wheel 80 ' is mounted on idler wheel shaft 64 ' .
  • An optical sensor 82 ' senses the rotation of idler wheel shaft 64 ' and provides a much more accurate measurement of the length of tape 70' than does optical sensor 80 ( Figure 2), since any movement of the tape will be sensed.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a control system according to the present invention, the control system being indicated generally by the reference numeral 100.
  • Control system 100 includes a tape dispensing/cutting discussed above, and a solenoid 106 that operates a blade to cut the tape.
  • Control system 100 also includes a tape machine controller board 120 that has a microcontroller 122 with memories 124 and 126.
  • Microcontroller 122 is connected to tape dispensing/cutting mechanism 102 through motor control 130 and solenoid control 132.
  • Microcontroller 122 is also connected to an optical tape sensor 140 through a tape sensor interface 142, the optical tape sensor being provided to sense the presence or absence of tape near its exit from the tape machine.
  • Microcontroller 122 is further connected to tape length encoder 80 ' /82 ' ( Figure 3) through a length encoder interface 150, to keyboard, or keypad, 32 through a keyboard interface 152, and to a foot switch interface 154 that permits the tape machine to dispense tape when a foot switch (not shown) is depressed.
  • a power supply 156 provides electrical power to the various components of control system 100.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates keypad 32 and plurality of push buttons, as at 34.
  • Push buttons 34 that have numerals thereon can be depressed to command tape machine 20 ( Figure 1) to dispense tape of a selected length.
  • Push button 160 with "+” thereon adds and increment to the length of tape dispensed
  • push button 162 with "-” thereon subtracts an increment from the length of tape dispensed
  • push button 164 doubles or halves the length of tape dispensed. Whether the length is doubled or halved depends on the length of tape selected, with the lengths of shorter pieces being doubled and the lengths of longer pieces being halved.
  • Push button 170 is used to select an automatic mode, discussed below, and depressing push button 172 will cause the tape machine to dispense tape as long as push button 172 is depressed.
  • Push buttons 180 and 182 recall tape lengths tape previously entered into memory.
  • the present invention may provide a further method of improving tape length accuracy. In the present case, errors in tape length can be empirically determined. -1 -
  • the data in memory 124 can take, for example, the form of a lookup table, with interpolation between entries if desired, or it can take, for example, the form of an algorithm for continuously variable correction lengths.
  • Microcontroller 122 ( Figure 4) can also be programmed to double or halve a selected length of tape including any increment of length added to or subtracted from the selected length of tape.
  • the units on keypad 32 ( Figure 5) were in inches and that one wished to dispense a piece of tape having a length of 26 inches.
  • push button "REPEAT/START” is depressed, a piece of tape having a length of 26 inches will be dispensed.
  • Push button 170 and suitable programming of microcontroller 122 can produce automatic dispensing of tape from tape dispenser 20 ( Figure 1).
  • Push button 170, "A”, or “AUTO” toggles the tape dispenser between automatic and normal modes .
  • a buzzer can produce an audible beep when entering the automatic mode and when exiting back to normal mode.
  • the dispenser is ready to set up a tape sequence.
  • Depressing push button 180, "REPEAT/START" ( Figure 5) immediately after entering automatic mode will skip setup and use the last stored sequence. If no sequence is stored, then a default sequence, e.g., repeating four-inch lengths is used.
  • the user begins by pressing push button 170 ( Figure 5) to enter the automatic mode. The user then dispenses up to three pieces of tape of the length and in the order of the desired sequence.
  • Microcontroller 122 Figure 4) stores push button 180, "REPEA /START" ( Figure 5), to begin the automatic sequence, at which time the first piece of tape in the sequence is produced. When the first piece of tape is removed, the tape dispenser automatically produces the second piece of tape in the sequence, and so on.
  • the user actions and machine responses shown on Figure 6 indicate the process for setting up the tape dispenser to produce a continuous sequence of alternating 36- and 18-inch lengths of tape.
  • Figure 7 illustrates control system 100 operatively connected to a remote host computer, or controller, 200.
  • Host computer may actually provide control inputs for one or more of the functions of tape dispenser 20 and/or it may simply provide bookkeeping functions, such as tracking accumulated lengths of tape dispensed, the numbers of pieces of tape dispensed, the rate of use of the tape dispenser, or other items relating to the use of the tape dispenser. This information can be used, for example, to determine when the roll of tape in tape dispenser 20 requires replacement.
  • RS-232 driver/receiver transmission protocol may be used when host computer 200 is operatively connected only to tape dispenser 20 and that RS-485 driver/receiver transmission protocol may be used when more than one tape dispenser is operatively connected to the host computer. Transmission may be over hard wired lines or it may be via RF communication means .
  • FIG. 8 illustrates the latter situation noted immediately above in which host computer 200 is dispensers 300 and 302. Of course, any number of tape dispensers may be operatively connected to host computer 200.
