Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coil automatic taping device for interlayer insulation between a lower layer winding of a coil and an upper layer winding further wound on the lower layer winding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional automatic taping device for this type of coil, a bobbin is automatically mounted on a spindle, first a lower layer winding is applied, and then an insulating tape as interlayer insulation is wound on the lower layer winding. , Apply the upper layer winding on it,
It is designed to automatically wind coils such as transformers. At this time, the insulating tape is pulled out from the tape roll wound in a roll shape, the pulled-out tape start end is attached to the coil, and the spindle is rotated, whereby the insulating tape is wound around the coil, and this winding is performed. In the middle of the process, cut the insulating tape at the position of the expected winding length, and then rotate the spindle further, and wind the remaining part of the insulating tape that became the free end by cutting and stick it around the coil. It is designed to be worn.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional type, once the starting end of the insulating tape is attached to the coil, the spindle is rotated while the insulating tape is being fed out from the tape roll and is attached to the periphery of the coil. However, when the distance between the coil and the cutter reaches a set length, it is cut by the cutter, and then the remaining insulating tape after cutting is attached around the coil as the coil rotates. The remaining insulating tape after cutting at the end becomes a free end and is held around the coil without being guided and the uninsulated insulating tape sways due to vibrations and the like. There is a case that it is misaligned without being wound neatly. If the position shifts in this way, the lower layer winding and the upper layer winding may come into contact with each other and may not function as interlayer insulation. In particular, since the tape is applied with tension applied before cutting and then suddenly without tension after cutting, it may cause the insulating tape to not be wound neatly around the coil. ing. In addition, since the spindle rotation is temporarily stopped due to the cutting of the insulating tape by the cutter during the application of the insulating tape around the coil, it is possible to wind it more neatly than the one that is applied continuously without stopping. Not only is it a cause that cannot be gained, but also the linkage between spindle rotation control and cutter operation control, especially when the specifications change and the winding length of the insulating tape around the coil is changed. There is a problem that it becomes complicated.

In view of the above situation, therefore, the present invention continuously attaches an insulating tape, which has been cut to a preset length in a state where a predetermined tension is always applied, around the coil without stopping halfway. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic taping method for a coil and an apparatus thereof, which solves the above conventional problems.

In this case, by controlling the rotation angle and the rotation direction of the spindle 3 as described later, the above-mentioned pressing lever 62 or tension roll 67 is replaced. The lever 46 also has that function.

Next, an automatic coil taping method based on the above-described coil automatic taping device will be described.
First, the operator mounts the tape roll 4 on the stand 4a, pulls out the insulating tape 6 from the tape roll 4, and attaches the starting end of the insulating tape 6 with the holding chuck 12, and then starts the automatic taping operation. The lower layer winding is applied to the coil 56 of each spindle 3 of the spindle box 2 in the winding portion, and at the stage when this work is completed, the index table 1 moves to move the spindle box 2
Are positioned on the automatic taping section as shown in FIG. Next, the drive motor 34 is driven to lower the pull-out chuck 42 via the gantry 27 and the arm 36. At this time, the air cylinder 35 is operated so that the arm 36, that is, the pull-out chuck 42 is pulled out to the front side so that it does not collide with other members such as the holding chuck 12, the cutter 17 and the tension chuck 20 when descending. . When the pull-out chuck 42 is lowered to below the holding chuck 12, the air cylinder 35 operates to pull out the pull-out chuck 4.
2 is retracted toward the insulating tape 6 to hold the chuck 1
When it is located immediately below 2, the pull-out chuck 42 is closed via the operating levers 40 and 41 by the operation of the air cylinders 38 and 39 to hold the insulating tape 6 therebetween. After that, the holding chuck 12 is opened via the operating levers 15 and 16 by the operation of the air cylinders 13 and 14, and the clamping of the starting end of the insulating tape 6 is released. When the holding chuck 12 is opened, the drawing chuck 42 can pass through the opened gap, so that the driving motor 34 drives the screw rod 29 to rotate the power transmission mechanism 33, the pedestal 27, and the arm 36. Through, the pull-out chuck 42 rises while holding the starting end of the insulating tape 6. Drawing chuck 42
Passes through the open gap of the holding chuck 12, the side of the cutter 17, and the open gap of the tension chuck 20 which is already open, and temporarily stops from the cutter 17 at a position of a preset length. Next, after the tension chuck 20 holds the insulating tape 6 by the operation of the air cylinder 21, the operation lever 1 is operated by the operation of the air cylinder 18.
The cutter 17 is moved via 9 to cut the insulating tape 6. The cut length of the insulating tape 6 is set to an optimum length for winding and adhering it around the coil 56, and this set length is arbitrarily changed by changing the rising height of the pull-out chuck 42. obtain. Therefore, the tension chuck 20
The rear end of the insulating tape piece 6a cut into the set length is clamped. After that, the pull-out chuck 42 moves up again,
The starting end (upper end) of the insulating tape piece 6a is positioned on the side of the coil 56. Insulating tape piece 6 by pull-out chuck 42
At the time of ascending, the tensioning chuck 20 holds the rear end (lower end) of the insulating tape piece 6a while holding the insulating tape piece 6a.
Along with this, tension is applied to the insulating tape piece 6a by the weight of the tension chuck 20 itself. Then
The moving table 43 is moved to the right side in FIG. 2 by the air cylinder 44, whereby the pull-out chuck 42 is moved toward the coil 56 side via the pedestal 27 and the arm 36, and the starting end of the insulating tape piece 6a is coiled. 56, that is, it is attached on the lower layer winding. At this time, the base 5 is moved by a power source such as an air cylinder, so that the tension chuck 20 as well as the drawing chuck 42 and the insulating tape piece 6a are moved.
By moving the whole, the starting end of the insulating tape piece 6a is moved to the coil 5
It can also be attached to 6. After that, even when the pressing lever 46 comes into contact with the insulating tape piece 6a attached to the side surface of the coil 56 by the operation of the air cylinder 54, the reciprocating table 53 is further moved to some extent. Therefore, the presser lever 4
The elastic biasing force of the return spring 59 pushes and holds the starting end of the insulating tape piece 6a toward the coil 56. On the other hand, the insulating tape piece 6a by the pull-out chuck 42
The clamping of the starting end of the drawing is released, and the pull-out chuck 42 is moved to the front side by the operation of the air cylinder 35. As shown in FIG. 11, the starting end portion of the insulating tape piece 6 a that is not attached to the peripheral surface of the coil 56 and rises further upward is operated by the air cylinder 66 to actuate the tension lever 63 or the tension lever 63 through the actuation lever 65. The roll 67 is swung to attach the insulating tape piece 6a while bending the leading end portion of the insulating tape piece 6a toward the upper surface of the coil 56. Then
While the spindle 3 is rotated and the pressing lever 46 presses the insulating tape piece 6a against the coil 56, the insulating tape piece 6a is wound around and adhered to the coil 56. This time,
The tension chuck 20 holds the rear end of the insulating tape piece 6a and rises together with the insulating tape piece 6a as it is wound around the coil 56. Therefore, even when the insulating tape piece 6a is attached to the coil 56, the insulation is insulated. A tension is applied to the non-adhered portion of the tape piece 6a by its own weight of the tension chuck 20 to prevent uneven winding and sticking of the insulating tape piece 6a due to slack or the like. As the insulating tape piece 6a is attached to the coil 56,
The tension chuck 20 rises, but immediately before the tension chuck 20 comes into contact with the coil 56, that is, when the unbonded portion of the insulating tape piece 6a remains less, the tension chuck 20 is actuated. The holding of the rear end of the insulating tape piece 6a by 20 is released. By this release, the tension chuck 20 falls to a predetermined position just above the cutter 17 by its own weight. On the other hand, the rear end of the insulating tape piece 6a is firmly attached to the periphery of the coil 56 to the rear end while being pressed by the pressing lever 46 by the rotation of the spindle 3. After the work of attaching the insulating tape piece 6a is completed, the spindle box 2 is conveyed toward the automatic winding portion by moving the index table 1 in order to further apply the upper layer winding on the insulating tape piece 6a. When the spindle box 2 to be processed next is fed to the automatic taping unit, the pull-out chuck 42 descends to clamp the insulating tape 6 below the holding chuck 12, and the above operation is repeated thereafter.

The tension lever 62 and the tension roll 6
In a device which does not have 7, after attaching one end of the insulating tape piece 6a to the side surface of the coil 56, the spindle 3 is once rotated about 90 degrees clockwise in FIG. Using the insulating tape piece 6a
After sticking the rising start end portion of the coil around the coil 56, the spindle 3 is rotated in the reverse direction, that is, rotated in the counterclockwise direction as described above, and the remaining insulating tape piece 6a is stuck around the coil 56. Further, the present invention can be directly used not only for interlayer insulation but also for other taping such as exterior taping.

[0011]

As described above, according to the automatic taping method for a coil and the apparatus therefor of the present invention, since the insulating tape piece is always adhered to the periphery of the coil with a predetermined tension applied, the periphery of the coil is surrounded. It can be attached neatly with a predetermined tension without being displaced,
In addition, since it is not necessary to stop the insulating tape at a predetermined winding length during the application of the insulating tape to the coil, it is not necessary to stop it temporarily. It is possible to provide an automatic taping method for a coil and an apparatus therefor, which can solve the conventional problems that the coil cannot be properly wound and attached.
