[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ring-shaped object such as an electric wire or a tire, or a straight object such as a steel pipe or a pipe, a plastic film such as vinyl chloride or polypropylene, or a tape such as paper. The present invention relates to a device for winding and packaging or binding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, ring-shaped products such as electric wires and tires have been wrapped by spirally winding a paper tape along the circumferential direction. In this case, the tape winding device attaches the tape reel to a ring-shaped wound body, a part of which is cut away, while rotating an object to be packaged such as a tire so as to pass through a substantially central portion of the wound body, When the winding body is also rotated at the same time, the tape is unwound from the tape reel and spirally wound around the object to be packaged.

However, in the manufacturing industry where production in small quantities and many kinds is inevitably demanded in recent years because mass production cannot be expected, packaging for the purpose of packaging or protecting various products and semi-finished products is required. I have to do it. However, the conventional tape winding device exists only as a dedicated machine for packaging ring-shaped products such as electric wires and tires, and has a drawback of extremely poor versatility. In other words, the operating efficiency is extremely low in order to introduce what is used in a specific industry such as the tire manufacturing industry or the electric wire manufacturing industry like the conventional tape winding device into other manufacturing industries. This is because the cost becomes expensive. In such a situation, there has been a widespread demand in the industry for a tape winding device that can be easily and reliably packaged at low cost and that is capable of packaging not only ring-shaped products but also linear products.

[0004]

Therefore, the present inventor has achieved the present invention as a result of earnest research in view of the above problems, and is characterized in that a tape is continuously attached to an article to be packaged. A device for winding spirally around a tape reel, a ring-shaped winding body which is provided with a reel support for mounting the tape reel on a side portion thereof, and is rotationally driven in a circumferential direction by a driving body, and the winding body. A transport drive roller for moving the article to be packaged at the center of rotation of the wound body, wherein the transport drive roller is arranged in the axial direction of the center of rotation of the wound body, and The object is to transfer the object to be packaged in the circumferential direction passing through the center of rotation of the body.

As used herein, the term "wrapping body" means that a tape reel around which a tape for wrapping and wrapping is wrapped around the article to be packaged so that the tape reel is wrapped. A ring-shaped object for rotating the circumference of an object. This is generally C-shaped with a part of the circle cut out. A reel support for mounting a tape reel is provided on the side of the wound body. Then, the reel support is provided with a mechanism for applying tension when the tape is unwound from the tape reel. The wound body is rotationally driven in the circumferential direction by a driving body such as a motor, but the driving method is not particularly limited. In addition, in this specification, the term “packaging” means the original meaning of wrapping an article, and also includes the concept of binding for grouping a plurality of articles.

The "conveyance driving roller" is a roller for feeding the article to be packaged at the center of rotation of the wound body, and is rotationally driven by a motor or the like. The transport drive roller transports the object to be packaged either in the axial direction of the center of rotation of the wound body or in the circumferential direction passing through the center of rotation of the wound body. That is, when the packaged object is straight, it is transferred in the axial direction of the wound body, and when the packaged object is ring-shaped, it is rotated in the circumferential direction passing through the center of the rotation center of the wound article. Is.

The transport drive roller sends the article to be wrapped either in the axial direction of the wound body or in the circumferential direction passing through the center of rotation of the wound body. As this means, for example, the conveyance drive rollers are arranged at appropriate intervals both on the axis of the wound body and on the circumference passing through the center of rotation. Also,
In addition, a transport driving roller may be provided so as to be movable between the axis and the circumference. Alternatively, by providing the transport drive roller at two locations on the center of the center of rotation of the wound body and on the axis away from this, it is possible to accommodate both straight and ring-shaped packaged objects. Become.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a tape winding device 1 according to the present invention, showing a state in which a tape T is wound around a ring-shaped object to be wrapped O in a spiral shape. This tape winding device 1 has a C-shaped wound body 2 in which a part of a ring is cut out.
A reel support tool 5 is provided on a side portion of the reel support tool 5.
The tape reel 3 is loaded onto the tape reel 3 and the wound body 2 is rotated in the circumferential direction to wind the tape T from the tape reel 3 and wind it around the object to be packaged O. The wound body 2 has a structure in which an inner peripheral portion thereof is rotatably supported by a rotation support roller 23, and is rotated in a circumferential direction by a drive roller 24 arranged on an outer peripheral portion. The transport drive rollers 4 are arranged at appropriate intervals on the axis of the rotation center of the wound body 2 and on the circumference passing through the rotation center.

Of these transport drive rollers 4, the transport drive roller 4 arranged on the circumference is placed on the package O to rotate the package O, so that the wound body 2 is rotated while the package W is rotated. The tape T is sequentially wound around the package O in a spiral shape. In this example, a support roller 42 that rotates freely is provided on the circumference to rotatably support the object to be packaged O. In this case, the support roller 42 is supported so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and the conveyance drive roller 4 arranged on the circumference
The object to be packaged O is supported by supporting the angle of
It is preferable to make it possible to correspond to the diameter.

As shown in FIG. 2, the tape winding device 1 can wind the tape T by feeding a straight article I to be packaged in the axial direction of the winding body 2. That is, in the case of the straight article I to be packaged, the article O to be packaged is placed in the axial direction by placing the article to be packaged O on the transport drive roller 4 arranged on the axis passing through substantially the center of the wound body 2. While being fed, the wound body 2 is rotated and wound in a spiral shape. Therefore, the ring-shaped object to be wrapped O and the straight object to be wrapped I can be extremely easily wound by the tape winding device 1 according to the present invention in the same manner.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
The transport drive roller 4 is provided so as to be movable between the axis of the wound body 2 and the circumference of the wound body 2 which passes through substantially the center of the wound body 2. In other words, by directly movably supporting the two transport drive rollers 4 without providing the transport drive rollers 4 on the circumference and on the axis, respectively, the straight article I can be packaged.
