Abstract

The present disclosure relates to winding device that includes a controller for determining a winding speed corresponding to a tension profile of a substrate to be wound and for outputting a motor control signal corresponding to the winding speed. The winding device includes an electric motor for rotating a winding core to wind the substrate according to the motor control signal; and a tension sensor that is installed on a conveying roller that transports the substrate wound around the winding core to precisely sense a tension value of the substrate in real time and provide the tension value to the controller. The controller dynamically controls the winding speed of the electric motor by using the tension value.

Claims (22)

1. A winding device comprising:

a controller for determining a winding speed corresponding to a tension profile of a substrate to be wound and for outputting a motor control signal corresponding to the winding speed;

an electric motor for rotating a winding core to wind the substrate according to the motor control signal; and

a tension sensor that is installed on a conveying roller that transports the substrate wound around the winding core to precisely sense a tension value of the substrate in real time and provide the tension value to the controller,

wherein the tension value includes an average tension value, a tension period, and a tension amplitude, and

wherein the controller dynamically controls the winding speed of the electric motor by using the tension value.

2. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conveying roller includes:

a fixed rod fixed to the winding device and protruding in a longitudinal direction;

an extension rod protruding and extending from the fixed rod in the longitudinal direction; and

a rotating roller rotatably coupled to the extension rod, the rotating roller allowing the substrate to be conveyed under tension.

3. The winding device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the tension sensor is installed on the fixed rod.

4. The winding device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the tension sensor is installed in a partial area of the fixed rod adjacent to the extension rod and the rotating roller.

5. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tension sensor includes a load cell or a strain gauge.

6. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a data conversion unit for converting a time of the tension value into a frequency value.

7. The winding device as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising an input output unit configured to input a tension profile of a substrate to be wound into the controller and to output the tension value and the frequency value.

8. The winding device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein when a frequency value outside a preset frequency value is output by the input output unit, the controller outputs a warning signal through the input output unit.

9. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , further including a dancer for adjusting tension applied to the substrate.

10. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tension sensor has a resolution of about 0.1 g to about 2 g.

11. The winding device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a contact area between the substrate and the rotating roller is about 1% to about 50% of a total circumference of the rotating roller.

12. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tension profile includes a tension value for each winding cycle and a winding speed for each tension value.

13. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tension period is about 0.1 seconds to about 0.3 seconds.

14. The winding device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller receives and stores a winding control program.
