WINDING DEVICE AND PRINTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109346 titled 'WINDING DEVICE AND PRINTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The winding unit described in the patent application includes a winding roller, a winding roller driving mechanism, a winding bar member, and an abutting portion. The winding roller winds the medium, the driving mechanism rotates the winding roller, the winding bar member applies tension to the medium, and the abutting portion regulates the swing of the winding bar member.
- Winding roller: Rotates to wind the medium.
- Winding roller driving mechanism: Applies driving force to rotate the winding roller.
- Winding bar member: Swingably provided upstream from the winding roller to apply tension to the medium.
- Abutting portion: Regulates the swing of the winding bar member.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industries that involve winding and tensioning of materials, such as textile manufacturing, paper production, and packaging.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures proper winding and tensioning of the medium. 2. Regulates the swing of the winding bar member to prevent irregular winding.
Benefits
1. Improved winding efficiency. 2. Consistent tensioning of the medium. 3. Enhanced control over the winding process.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing winding processes in textile factories for efficient production.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar winding units used in industrial settings for winding and tensioning materials.
Unanswered Questions
How does the winding bar member apply tension to the medium effectively?
The abstract does not provide specific details on the mechanism through which the winding bar member applies tension to the medium. Further information on the design and operation of this component would be beneficial.
What materials are suitable for winding using this unit?
The abstract does not specify the types of materials that can be effectively wound using this unit. Understanding the compatibility of different materials with this technology would be essential for potential users.
Original Abstract Submitted
a winding unit that winds an intermittently conveyed medium includes a winding roller that winds the medium, a winding roller driving mechanism that applies a driving force for rotating the winding roller, a winding bar member that is swingably provided upstream from the winding roller and applies tension to the medium by pressing the medium, and an abutting portion that regulates swing of the winding bar member.
