Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an automatic roll-replacing apparatus, including: an unwinding device, a starting-end-handling device comprising a support mechanism and a pick-up mechanism, the support mechanism is located between the standby material roll and the working material roll; the pick-up mechanism is configured to pick up a material strip starting end of a standby material strip and pull the material strip starting end to reach a location between the support mechanism and the working material roll; and a strip-connecting device including two strip-connecting mechanisms that either carries a tape.
Claims20
An automatic roll-replacing apparatus, comprising:
- an unwinding device for loading a working material roll and a standby material roll and for driving the working material roll to unwind and output a working material strip;
- a starting-end-handling device comprising a support mechanism and a pick-up mechanism, the support mechanism located between the standby material roll and the working material roll;
- the pick-up mechanism configured to pick up a material strip starting end of a standby material strip, and pull the material strip starting end to reach a location between the support mechanism and the working material roll, so that the standby material strip is wound onto and passed through the support mechanism;
- and
- a strip-connecting device comprising first and second strip-connecting mechanisms;
- wherein the first strip-connecting mechanism carries a tape and is configured to press a first portion of the tape and the standby material strip against one side of the support mechanism;
- wherein the second strip-connecting mechanism is configured to press the working material strip against an opposite side of the support mechanism, cut off the working material strip from an upstream side of the support mechanism, and press the working material strip against a second portion of the tape on a downstream side of the support mechanism.
