A foil-making machine O-ring cleaning device

Abstract

This utility model discloses an O-ring cleaning device for a foil production machine, comprising: at least two wiping plates for absorbing electrolyte on the O-ring; and two mounting seats. This utility model uses a program-controlled two-axis moving assembly and a rotating clamping assembly to move the two mounting seats to the upper and lower sides of the O-ring to be cleaned at maximum distance. Then, the two mounting seats move closer together, causing the wiping plates to clamp the O-ring. As the O-ring moves, the electrolyte adhering to it is absorbed by the wiping plates. After wiping for a period of time, the two-axis moving assembly and the rotating clamping assembly move the mounting seats away from the O-ring. By repeating the above operation, the O-ring is cleaned intermittently, preventing O-ring crystallization, greatly reducing manual operation, ensuring the sealing of the O-ring, reducing edge tearing during foil production, ensuring the consistency of copper foil production, and improving the output of the foil production machine and the quality of the copper foil.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic copper foil production technology, and in particular to an O-ring cleaning device for a foil production machine. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] During the electrolysis of copper foil, copper sulfate / sulfuric acid electrolyte adheres to the O-rings. If the copper sulfate in the electrolyte is exposed to air for a long time, it will form blue crystals, which will reduce the sealing performance of the O-rings. This will lead to tearing during the production process, which will seriously affect the quality and output of copper foil. In addition, these copper sulfate crystals will also corrode the O-rings, shortening their service life and increasing production costs.

[0004] Currently, cleaning O-rings mainly relies on manual wiping. However, during the production process, it is difficult to standardize the number of wipings, the wiping time, and the wiping force. Especially during nighttime production, it is easy to forget to wipe due to fatigue, which leads to a decrease in the cleanliness of the O-rings, affects the production of copper foil, and shortens the service life of the O-rings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a device for cleaning O-rings in a foil-making machine, thereby enabling automatic cleaning of O-rings.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a foil-making machine O-ring cleaning device, comprising:

[0007] At least two wiping plates are used to absorb the electrolyte on the O-rings;

[0008] Two mounting bases, each with its opposite side detachably connected to the wiping plate;

[0009] A rotary clamping assembly is used to move two mounting seats closer together or further apart, and to move the two mounting seats to rotate about the r-axis;

[0010] The two-axis moving assembly is used to drive the rotary clamping assembly to move up and down and to move closer to or further away from the O-ring to be cleaned.

[0011] Furthermore, the wiping plate includes a substrate, one side of which is provided with an adsorption layer for adsorbing electrolyte, and the side of the substrate opposite to the adsorption layer is provided with a positioning block that can be magnetically attracted.

[0012] Both mounting bases have grooves on opposite sides that are adapted to the size of the positioning block, and an electromagnet for attracting the positioning block is provided on the side of the mounting base opposite to the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotary clamping assembly includes a rotary motor and a forward and reverse tooth linear module disposed at the output end of the rotary motor. The rotary motor is used to drive the forward and reverse tooth linear module to rotate around the r-axis, and the forward and reverse tooth linear module is used to drive the two mounting seats to move closer or further apart.

[0014] Furthermore, the two-axis moving assembly includes an electric lifting column and a pushing component that moves up and down driven by the electric lifting column. The end of the pushing component away from the electric lifting column is connected to a rotary motor. The pushing component is used to push the rotary clamping assembly to move towards or away from the O-ring to be cleaned.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a storage basket and two protective railings, with the storage basket located between the two protective railings;

[0016] The number of wiping plates is multiple, and a storage component for storing replacement wiping plates is provided between the two protective barriers. The two-axis moving component can drive the rotating clamping component to move between the storage component and the O-ring to be cleaned.

[0017] Furthermore, the storage component includes a bracket disposed between two guardrails. A column is provided on the top of the bracket. Two U-shaped frames are provided on opposite sides of the column near the guardrail. A storage cavity is formed between the U-shaped frames and the column, allowing multiple wiping plates to slide in one by one from top to bottom. A sliding groove is formed between the two U-shaped frames on the same side, allowing a positioning block to move up and down. A spring pin is provided on the U-shaped frame. When the spring pin is in its natural state, one end is inserted into the sliding groove. The two-axis moving component can drive the mounting seat connected to the rotating clamping component to engage with the positioning block in the storage component, pushing the positioning block down, so that the spring pin is squeezed out of the sliding groove by the positioning block.

[0018] The distance between the U-shaped frame and the bracket shall not be less than the height of the wiping plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0020] This invention uses a program-controlled two-axis moving assembly and a rotating clamping assembly to move two mounting seats to the top and bottom of the O-ring to be cleaned, with the two mounting seats at their maximum distance. Then, the two mounting seats move closer to each other, causing the wiping plates on them to clamp the O-ring. As the O-ring moves, the electrolyte adhering to it is absorbed by the wiping plates. After wiping for a period of time, the two-axis moving assembly and the rotating clamping assembly move the mounting seats away from the O-ring. By repeating the above operation, the O-ring is cleaned intermittently, preventing O-ring crystallization, greatly reducing manual operation, ensuring the sealing of the O-ring, reducing edge tearing during foil production, ensuring the consistency of copper foil production, and improving the output of the foil production machine and the quality of the copper foil.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a device for cleaning O-rings in a foil-making machine, comprising:

[0030] At least two wiping plates 1 are used to absorb the electrolyte on the O-rings;

[0031] Two mounting bases 2, each of which is detachably connected to the wiping plate 1 on its opposite side;

[0032] The rotating clamping assembly 3 is used to move the two mounting bases 2 closer to each other or further apart, and to move the two mounting bases 2 to rotate around the r-axis;

[0033] The two-axis moving assembly 4 is used to drive the rotating clamping assembly 3 to move up and down and to move closer to or further away from the O-ring to be cleaned.

[0034] This invention uses a program to control a two-axis moving assembly 4 and a rotating clamping assembly 3 to move two mounting seats 2 to the upper and lower sides of the O-ring to be cleaned, with the two mounting seats 2 at their maximum distance. Then, the two mounting seats 2 are moved closer to each other, causing the wiping plates 1 on them to clamp the O-ring. As the O-ring moves, the electrolyte adhering to it is absorbed by the wiping plates 1. After wiping for a period of time, the two-axis moving assembly 4 and the rotating clamping assembly 3 move the mounting seats 2 away from the O-ring. By repeating the above operation, the O-ring is cleaned intermittently, avoiding O-ring crystallization, greatly reducing manual operation, ensuring the sealing of the O-ring, reducing edge tearing during foil production, ensuring the consistency of copper foil production, and improving the output of the foil production machine and the quality of the copper foil.

[0035] In one embodiment, the wiping plate 1 includes a substrate, an adsorption layer for adsorbing electrolyte is provided on one side of the substrate, and a positioning block that can be magnetically attracted is provided on the side of the substrate opposite to the adsorption layer.

[0036] Each of the two mounting bases 2 has a groove on one side that matches the size of the positioning block, and an electromagnet for attracting the positioning block is provided on the side of the mounting base 2 opposite to the groove.

[0037] This design allows the positioning block to be inserted into the groove and then attracted to the wiping plate 1 by energizing the electromagnet. This cooperation prevents the wiping plate 1 from shaking or shifting during the wiping process. When the wiping plate 1 needs to be removed for maintenance, simply de-energizing the electromagnet will quickly separate the wiping plate 1 from the mounting base 2.

[0038] It should be noted that the absorbent layer can be a towel, non-woven fabric, or gauze.

[0039] In one embodiment, the rotary clamping assembly 3 includes a rotary motor 31 and a forward and reverse tooth linear module 32 disposed at the output end of the rotary motor 31. The rotary motor 31 is used to drive the forward and reverse tooth linear module 32 to rotate around the r-axis, and the forward and reverse tooth linear module 32 is used to drive the two mounting seats 2 to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0040] This design allows the rotary motor 31 to drive the forward and reverse thread linear module 32 to rotate, adjusting the relative positions of the two mounting seats 2. When the two mounting seats 2 rotate to an up-down arrangement, they can be moved to the upper and lower sides of the horizontal section of the O-ring that needs cleaning. The forward and reverse thread linear module 32 drives the mounting seats 2 closer to the O-ring, allowing the wiping plate 1 to wrap around the O-ring for cleaning. When the two mounting seats 2 rotate to a left-right arrangement, they can be moved to the left and right sides of the vertical section of the O-ring that needs cleaning. The forward and reverse thread linear module 32 drives the mounting seats 2 closer to the O-ring, allowing the wiping plate 1 to wrap around the O-ring for cleaning.

[0041] In one embodiment, the two-axis moving assembly 4 includes an electric lifting column 41 and a pushing component 42 that moves up and down driven by the electric lifting column 41. The end of the pushing component 42 away from the electric lifting column 41 is connected to a rotary motor 31. The pushing component 42 is used to push the rotary clamping assembly 3 to move closer to or away from the O-ring to be cleaned.

[0042] This design, using the electric lifting column 41 and the pushing component 42, allows the position of the wiping plate 1 to be flexibly adjusted. When the O-ring does not need cleaning, it can be moved away from the O-ring to avoid obstructing the normal use of the O-ring, and it also makes it convenient for maintenance personnel to maintain the wiping plate 1.

[0043] In one embodiment, it also includes a storage basket 5 and two protective barriers 6, with the storage basket 5 located between the two protective barriers 6;

[0044] There are multiple wiping plates 1. A storage component 7 for storing replacement wiping plates 1 is provided between the two protective barriers 6. The two-axis moving component 4 can drive the rotating clamping component 3 to move between the storage component 7 and the O-ring to be cleaned.

[0045] This design allows the mounting base 2 to be moved above the storage basket 5 by the two-axis moving assembly 4 after the cleaning level of the wiping plate 1 decreases. Then, the two mounting bases 2 are adjusted to be arranged in a left-right configuration by the rotating clamping assembly 3. After that, by de-energizing the electromagnet and using the rotating motor 31 to swing the mounting base 2, the wiping plate 1 on it can be shaken off and fall into the storage basket 5 for collection. Then, a new wiping plate 1 can be taken from the storage assembly 7 to replace it. This design avoids human contact with the wiping plate 1 containing electrolyte during maintenance, ensuring personnel safety.

[0046] It should be noted that the protective barrier 6 can be arranged according to the falling direction of the wiping plate 1, and there can be multiple barriers, to ensure that the wiping plate 1 can fall accurately into the collection basket 5 for collection.

[0047] In one embodiment, the storage component 7 includes a bracket 71 disposed between two guardrails 6. A column 72 is disposed on the top of the bracket 71. Two U-shaped frames 73 are disposed on opposite sides of the column 72 near the guardrails 6. A storage cavity is formed between the U-shaped frame 73 and the column 72 for multiple wiping plates 1 to slide into one by one from top to bottom. A slide groove is formed between the two U-shaped frames 73 on the same side for the positioning block to move up and down. A spring pin 74 is disposed on the U-shaped frame 73. When the spring pin 74 is in its natural state, one end is inserted into the slide groove. The two-axis moving component 4 can drive the mounting seat 2 connected to the rotating clamping component 3 to engage with the positioning block in the storage component 7, push the positioning block down, and cause the spring pin 74 to be squeezed out of the slide groove by the positioning block.

[0048] The distance between the U-shaped frame 73 and the bracket 71 shall not be less than the height of the wiping plate 1.

[0049] This design allows maintenance personnel to slide multiple wiping plates 1 that need to be replaced into the storage cavity one by one from top to bottom in advance. When the wiping plate 1 on the mounting base 2 shakes and falls off, the forward and reverse thread linear module 32 moves the two mounting bases 2 to the maximum spacing state. Then, the two-axis moving assembly 4 moves the two mounting bases 2 to the two sides of the column 72 where the wiping plate 1 is located, so that the groove on the mounting base 2 is aligned with the positioning block of the bottom wiping plate 1. Then, the forward and reverse thread linear module 32 moves the two mounting bases 2 closer to the bottom wiping plate 1, so that part of the positioning block is inserted into the groove. The two-axis moving assembly 4 drives the mounting base 2 downward, causing the bottom wiping plate 1 to overcome the restriction of the spring pin 74 and move out of the storage cavity. Then, by energizing the electromagnet, the wiping plate 1 is attracted. The two-axis moving assembly 4 and the rotating clamping assembly 3 move together, which can move the new wiping plate 1 to the O-ring for cleaning. The wiping plate 1 in the storage cavity will fall under the action of gravity until it is blocked by the spring pin 74. Maintenance personnel only need to replenish the wiping plate 1 from the top of the storage cavity periodically, so that the cleaning device can automatically replace the wiping plate 1, which greatly reduces manual operation.

[0050] It should be noted that the rotary motor 31, the forward and reverse tooth linear module 32, the electric lifting column 41, and the pushing component 42 are common knowledge in the field, so their specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this article.

[0051] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0052] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0053] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.
