Abstract

In the tape winding apparatus of the present invention, the recessed blowout part is formed at the tip end part of the nozzle and a plurality of slits are disposed at the blowout part. Therefore, the range where the sprayed gas presses the tape becomes wide, and the entire force which presses the tape becomes strong. Thereby, a constant biasing force can be applied to the outer peripheral surface of the tape roll, as a result of which, the tape roll of favorable quality can be obtained.

Claims (25)

1. A tape winding apparatus comprising a winding shaft which winds up a tape and forms a tape roll, and a nozzle which sprays a gas toward an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll on an occasion of winding up the tape,

wherein a recessed blowout part is formed at a tip end part of the nozzle, and in the blowout part, a plurality of slits extending in a width direction of the tape are disposed at predetermined spaces from each other in a traveling direction of the tape.

2. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein length of the blowout part in the width direction of the tape is 20% to 120% of the tape width.

3. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein opening length of the slit is 20% to 120% of the tape width.

4. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a level difference of the blowout part is 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm.

5. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein two of the slits are provided, a side slit which connects both end parts of the slits is provided, and an annular slit is formed at a tip end of the nozzle by these slits.

6. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the tip end of the nozzle is formed into a recessed shape which follows an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll.

7. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein opening length of the slit is 20% to 120% of the tape width.

8. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a level difference of the blowout part is 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm.

9. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein two of the slits are provided, a side slit which connects both end parts of the slits is provided, and an annular slit is formed at a tip end of the nozzle by these slits.

10. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the tip end of the nozzle is formed into a recessed shape which follows an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll.

11. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a level difference of the blowout part is 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm.

12. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein two of the slits are provided, a side slit which connects both end parts of the slits is provided, and an annular slit is formed at a tip end of the nozzle by these slits.

13. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the tip end of the nozzle is formed into a recessed shape which follows an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll.

14. A tape winding apparatus comprising a winding shaft which winds up a tape and forms a tape roll, and a nozzle which sprays a gas toward an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll on an occasion of winding up the tape,

wherein a recessed blowout part is formed at a tip end part of the nozzle, and in the blowout part, a plurality of slits extending in a traveling direction of the tape are disposed at predetermined spaces from each other in a width direction of the tape.

15. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein length of the blowout part in the width direction of the tape is 20% to 120% of the tape width.

16. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein length of a range where a plurality of the slits are disposed in the width direction of the tape is 20% to 120% of the tape width.

17. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein a level difference of the blowout part is 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm.

18. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein a tip end of the nozzle is formed into a recessed shape which follows an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll.

19. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein length of a range where a plurality of the slits are disposed in the width direction of the tape is 20% to 120% of the tape width.

20. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein a level difference of the blowout part is 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm.

21. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 20 , wherein a tip end of the nozzle is formed into a recessed shape which follows an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll.

22. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein a level difference of the blowout part is 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm.

23. The tape winding apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein a tip end of the nozzle is formed into a recessed shape which follows an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll.
