TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of unwinding device structures, in particular to a tape unwinding device with a self-locking function.
BACKGROUND
A tape consists of two parts including a substrate and a binder and connects two or more disconnected objects together by binding, and the surface thereof is coated with a layer of adhesive which is self-sticky or is sticky after being wetted.
When a tape is used to seal a carton, a tape roll (i.e., a whole roll of tape) is mounted on a carton sealer, then, the tape is pulled out to be used, and thus, the carton scaling efficiency of the tape can be increased. Usually, the tape roll directly sleeves the outside of a shaft body, the tape roll can rotate, thereby facilitating clamping the tape. However, the tape which is sticky after being wetted (a wet tape for short) is not constrained by stickiness between layers of the tape roll, and therefore, the tape in the tape roll will be loosened after being unwound, which results in poorer stability when the tape is pulled,

Such a circulation is equivalent to the formation of a directional resistance caused during rotation of the disk gear and the outer shaft in an unwinding process by the shifting card, and is beneficial to the reduction of a rotational acceleration during unwinding and the improvement of unwinding stability. When the tape is not acted by an external force due to the ending of the unwinding of the tape, the disk gear stops rotating, at the same time, the swing arm swings under the action of the first torsional spring until the insert is inserted into a limiting slot of the shifting card to push the end of the shifting card to be inserted into the toothed groove and block the shifting card, so that the shifting card cannot swing, then, the disk gear is stuck by the shifting card, and the tape roll cannot rotate to be further unwound. Thus, it can be seen that, by adopting the structure of the present disclosure, the insert pushes the end of the shifting card to be inserted into the toothed groove of the disk gear, so that the outer shaft can be self-locked and fixed, the tape roll fixedly sleeving the outside of the outer shaft can be self-locked and fixed, a situation that the tape is loosened due to self-rotation of the tape roll can be avoided, and affecting the stability of pulling the tape later can be avoided.

The protective cover 34 is fixed to the mounting frame by the connection of the bearing block 36, the protective cover 34 includes a first protective plate 342 and a cover shell 341. An assembly space is formed inside the cover shell 341, and a surface, facing away from an opening of the assembly space, of the cover shell 341 is fixed to the bearing block 36, which is equivalent to that the cover shell 341 is fixed to one side of the mounting frame. The disk gear 32, the shifting card 35 and a first torsional spring 351 are all located in the assembly space, the assembly space is sealed by the first protective plate 342, the first protective plate 342 is fixedly connected with the cover shell 341, and the outer shaft 31 penetrates out of the assembly space and passes through the first protective plate 342, so that the tape roll 2 may be directly fixedly connected with the expansion sleeve 311 of the outer shaft 31.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the protective cover 34 further includes a second protective plate 343, and the second protective plate 343 is fixed on the other end, opposite to the first protective plate 342, of the outer shaft 31, so that the tape roll 2 is located between the first protective plate 342 and the second protective plate 343, which plays a role in protecting the tape roll 2. A structure that the second protective plate 343 is fixed on the other end of the outer shaft 31 may be mounted by a clamping part 344, a conical sleeve handle 346 and a central shaft 37. Specifically, an end surface on one end of the central shaft 37 is fixed relative to the mounting frame by means of the fixed connection of the bearing block 36, and the other end of the central shaft 37 passes through the outer shaft 31. A clamping part 344 is fixed in the middle of the second protective plate 343, and a connecting hole 345 adapted to an end of the central shaft 37 is formed in the center of the clamping part 344. A cutting groove 3441 is formed in one side of the clamping part 344, and the cutting groove 3441 may be a cut which is formed by inwards transverse cutting or oblique cutting from one side of the clamping part and extends to the connecting hole 345. A notch 3442 is further formed in a position along a radius line of the clamping part 344, and the notch 3442 communicates with the connecting hole 345 and the cutting groove 3441, so that a part, facing away from the second protective plate 343 after the clamping part 344 is separated by the cutting groove 3441 and the notch 3442, of the clamping part 344 forms a clamping piece 3443; the clamping piece 3443 forms a structure capable of elastically swinging relative to the notch. 3442; and after the connecting hole 345 sleeves the outside of an end of the central shaft 37, the end of the central shaft 37 can be clamped in the connecting hole 345 by swinging the clamping piece 3443 to one side of the notch 3442, that is, the clamping part 344 and the central shaft 37 can be fixed to each other, so that the second protective plate 343 is also fixed relative to the central shaft 37, and then, the second protective plate 343 is mounted and fixed.
Further refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the clamping part 344 is provided with a threaded hole 3444, and the conical sleeve handle 346 is adapted to and spirally connected with the threaded hole 3444. The clamping piece 3443 is provided with a moving hole 3445 in a side of the notch 3442, and the moving hole 3445 and the threaded hole 3444 are disposed eccentrically (that is, centers of circles are not on the same position). The conical sleeve handle 346 is further provided with a guide part 3461 of a conical structure, and the guide part 3461 is fixed on one end of a stud screwed in the threaded hole 3444; and when the conical sleeve handle 346 is screwed in the threaded hole 3444, the guide part 3461 supports against a side wall of the moving hole 3445 to drive the side, provided with the moving hole 3445, of the clamping piece 3443 to move to the other side of the notch 3442, which ensures that the guide part 3461 is more deeply embedded into the moving hole 3445 when the conical sleeve handle 346 is more tightly screwed in the threaded hole 3444, so that the clamping piece 3443 is driven to move to more tightly clamp the end of the central shaft 37, and then, the second protective plate 343 is fixed relative to the central shaft 37, that is, the second protective plate 343 is fixed on the other end, opposite to the first protective plate 342, of the outer shaft 31,
As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the cover shell 341 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 347 in the assembly space, a first bolt 3471 is fixed on the mounting plate 347, and one end of the shifting card 35 passes through and sleeves the outside of the first bolt 3471, so that the shifting card 35 is connected by the protective cover 34 and the first bolt 3471 to rotate on the mounting frame and swing relative to the disk gear 32. The first torsional spring 351 sleeves the other end, opposite to the shifting card 35, of the first bolt 3471, and two ends of the first torsional spring 351 are respectively inserted in surfaces of the cover shell 341 and the shifting card 35, by which the shifting card 35 is limited by the first torsional spring 351, and then, the shifting card 35 is pushed by the torsion of the first torsional spring 351 to swing to the disk gear 32, so that the shifting card 35 swings to be inserted into a toothed groove 322 of the disk gear 32. Further refer to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, an end, inserted into the toothed groove 322, of the shifting card 35 is provided with an inclined guide surface 352, and when the tape 21 is pulled out to drive the tape roll 2 and the disk gear 32 to rotate, a side of the toothed groove 322 pushes the guide surface 352, so that the shifting card 35 swings to drive the guide surface 352 to leave away from the toothed groove 322. Thus, it can be seen that the end of the shifting card 35 is driven to be inserted into the toothed groove 322 of the disk gear 32 by the torsion of the first torsional spring 351 during unwinding, in a process that the tape roll 2 and the disk gear 32 are driven to rotate while unwinding, the end of the shifting card 35 is pushed out by the rotating toothed groove 322, and thus, a process that the end of the shifting card 35 is inserted into each toothed groove 322 of the disk gear 32 and is pushed out of each toothed groove 322 is formed.
As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, one end of the swing arm 33 is provided with a connecting ring 332, a second bearing 362 is fixed outside the bearing block 36, the connecting ring 332 fixedly sleeves the outside of the second bearing 362, and thus, a structure that the swing arm. 33 rotates relative to the mounting frame outside the protective cover 34 is formed by the connection between the bearing block 36 and the second bearing 362. In addition, one end of the swing arm 33 is provided with a driving roller 331, and the tape 21 passes by the driving roller 331 after being pulled out, so that the tape 21 drags the driving roller 331 and drives the swing arm 33 to swing.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, one side of the second bearing 362 is further sleeved with a second torsional spring 334 outside the bearing block 36, two ends of the second torsional spring 334 are respectively inserted into the bearing block 36 and the swing arm 33, and the swing arm 33 is pushed by the torsion of the second torsional spring 334 to swing to the shifting card 35. Specifically, when an unwinding rotation torsion formed by pulling out the tape 21 to drive the disk gear 32 to rotate is consistent with the torsion of the second torsional spring 334, the disk gear 32 rotates at a constant speed; when an unwinding speed (i.e., rotating speed) of the disk gear 32 is smaller than a speed that the carton sealer pulls out the tape 21 the tape 21, the swing arm 33 is further pulled to swing to a direction away from the shifting card 35, which further increases the torsion of the second torsional spring 334, therefore, a torsion of the swing arm 33 acting on the outer shaft 31 is also increased, and this torsion makes the outer shaft 31 perform accelerative rotation to reach a speed consistent with the speed that the carton sealer pulls out the tape 21 the tape 21; otherwise, when the unwinding speed of the disk gear 32 is larger than the speed that the carton sealer pulls out the tape 21 the tape 21, the swing arm 33 swings at a smaller angle and is even closer to the shifting card 35, at the same time, the torsion of the second torsional spring 334 becomes small, and therefore, the torsion of the swing arm 33 acting on the outer shaft 31 is also reduced, and the outer shaft 31 performs decelerative rotation to reach a speed consistent with the speed that the carton sealer pulls out the tape 21. Thus, it can be seen that the structures of the above-mentioned swing arm 33 and second torsional spring 334 can ensure that the rotating speed of the outer shaft 31 is consistent with the speed that the carton sealer pulls out the tape 21, so that the unwinding device in the present disclosure can stably output the tape.
Further refer to FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, one side of the swing arm is further provided with an insert 333, an arc-shaped avoidance gap 348 shown in FIG. 1 is further formed in one side of the protective cover 34, and the insert 333 cooperates with the shifting card 35 after passing through the avoidance gap 348 to reach the inside of the protective cover 34. Such a cooperation process is that, when the tape 21 is not pulled out, the swing arm 33 is free of traction from the tape 21, at the moment, the swing arm. 33 swings until the insert 333 supports against the shifting card 35 to be away from an end inserted into the toothed groove 322, that is, as shown in FIG. 12, the insert 333 upwards moves to be inserted into the left of the lower end of the shifting card 35, which ensures that the upper end of the shifting card 35 swings to be kept inserted into the toothed groove 322, then, the end, away from the disk gear 32, of the shifting card 35 is blocked, the shifting card 35 is kept inserted in the toothed groove 322 of the disk gear 32, then, the disk gear 32 cannot rotate, and therefore, the outer shaft 31 and the tape roll 2 cannot rotate either to be self-locked, the situation that the tape 21 is further unwound and loosened due to the inertia brought by prior rotation when the tape 21 stops being unwound is avoided, and it is beneficial to the improvement of unwinding stability.
In conclusion, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in a process that the tape 21 is unwound, the swing arm 33 swings anticlockwise under the action of the tension of the tape 21 to separate the insert 333 from the shifting card 35, so that the shifting card 35 swings to be inserted into the toothed groove 322 of the disk gear 32 under the action of a torsion of the second torsional spring 334, at the same time, the tape 21 is unwound to drive the disk gear 32 to rotate, so that the guide surface 352 on an end of the shifting card 35 is pushed out by the disk gear 32, and then, the shifting card 35 is pushed out of the toothed groove 33. Such a circulation is equivalent to the formation of a directional resistance caused during rotation of the disk gear 32 and the outer shaft 31 in an unwinding process by the shifting card 35, and is beneficial to the reduction of a rotational acceleration during unwinding and the improvement of unwinding stability. When the tape 21 is not acted by an external force due to the ending of the unwinding of the tape 21, the disk gear 32 stops rotating, at the same time, the swing arm 33 swings under the action of the first torsional spring 351 until the insert 333 is inserted into a limiting slot 353 of the shifting card 35 to push the end of the shifting card 35 to be inserted into the toothed groove 322 and block the shifting card 35, so that the shifting card 35 cannot swing, then, the disk gear 32 is stuck by the shifting card 35, and the tape roll 2 cannot rotate to be further unwound. Thus, it can be seen that, by adopting the structure of the present disclosure, the insert 333 pushes the end of the shifting card 35 to be inserted into the toothed groove 322 of the disk gear 32, so that the outer shaft 31 can be self-locked and fixed, the tape roll 2 fixedly sleeving the outside of the outer shaft 31 can be self-locked and fixed, a situation that the tape 21 is loosened due to self-rotation of the tape roll can be avoided, and affecting the stability of pulling the tape 21 later can be avoided.
The above descriptions are only specific implementations of the present disclosure, however, the design concept of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any non-substantive changes on the present disclosure based on this concept should fall within behaviors that violate the protection scope of the present disclosure.
