[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, embodiments of the present invention include:

[0022] An automatic copper foil application device for curved contours includes a platform 1, a vacuum suction plate 2, a copper foil application assembly 3, a cutting assembly 4, a main panel 5, and an XYZU four-axis displacement module 6. The vacuum suction plate 2 is mounted on the platform 1. The main panel 5, which integrates the copper foil application assembly 3 and the cutting assembly 4, is matched directly above the vacuum suction plate 2. The cutting assembly 4 is connected downstream of the copper foil application assembly 3. The main panel 5 is suspended from the XYZU four-axis displacement module 6 by a flange boom. The copper foil application assembly 3 is pulled and pressed onto the surface of the vacuum suction plate 2 by the XYZU four-axis displacement module 6.

[0023] The copper foil applicator 3 consists of a rotating arm 301 and an applicator roller 302, a peeling blade 303, a guide roller group 304, a copper foil strip feeding tray 305, and a release paper recycling tray 306 arranged on the rotating arm 301. A copper foil strip feeding channel 307 is formed between the copper foil strip feeding tray 305, the guide roller group 304, the peeling blade 303, and the release paper recycling tray 306. The applicator roller 302 is fitted to the blade of the peeling blade 303.

[0024] Furthermore, a spring telescopic rod 308 is also provided on the rotating arm 301. A secondary pressure roller 309 is provided at the lower end of the spring telescopic rod 308. A pushing cylinder 310 is matched at the top of the secondary pressure roller 309. The pushing cylinder 310 is installed on the main panel 5 and makes the secondary pressure roller 309 and the attached roller 302 on the same horizontal plane when appropriate.

[0025] Furthermore, the cutting assembly 4 consists of a spring shears 401 and a tail roller 402. The blades of the spring shears 401 are parallel and close to the roller surface of the tail roller 402. The tail roller 402 is mounted on a roller loading cylinder 403, which is located on the main panel 5. The handle of the spring shears 401 is held in a blade holder 404, which is suspended on a back plate 405. A push cylinder 406 is mounted on the back plate 405, and the push cylinder 406 is connected to a push block 407, which is pressed against the handle of the spring shears 401.

[0026] Furthermore, the back plate 405 is mounted on a horizontally telescopic avoidance cylinder 408, which drives the spring shears 401 to be misaligned with the tail roller 402.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating arm 301 is connected to the main panel 5 via a bearing. The main panel 5 is provided with a bearing seat and connected to a swing arm cylinder 311. The swing arm cylinder 311 is movably connected to the rotating arm 301.

[0028] Furthermore, a material shortage detection photoelectric sensor is arranged along the copper foil conveyor channel 307.

[0029] Furthermore, the release paper recycling tray 306 is coaxially connected to a pulley 320, the pulley 320 is connected to a motor 322 via a belt 321, the belt 321 is matched with a tension roller 323, and the belt 321 and the pulley 320 slide against each other as needed.

[0030] Furthermore, the XYZU four-axis displacement module 6 is mounted on a gantry frame. The XYZU four-axis displacement module 6 consists of a hollow rotating platform 1, a Z-axis linear module, a Y-axis linear module, and a pair of X-axis linear modules. The hollow rotating platform 1 is mounted on the Z-axis linear module, the Z-axis linear module is mounted on the Y-axis linear module, the Y-axis linear module is mounted on the X-axis linear module, and the X-axis linear modules are mounted parallel to each other on the gantry frame.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, a car sunroof interlayer film product is placed on the vacuum suction plate 2. The shape of the car sunroof interlayer film is an irregular curved shape. The main function of this equipment is to attach a copper foil strip of appropriate width along the curved contour of the car sunroof interlayer film. The copper foil strip will be pressed onto the contour of the car sunroof interlayer film, and driven by the XYZU four-axis displacement module 6, as shown... Figure 2 and 3 As shown, copper foil strips are continuously drawn from the copper foil strip feed tray 305 and continuously pressed onto the curved contour by the attaching roller 302. As the pressing process proceeds, the hollow rotating platform continuously adjusts the pressing angle, causing the copper foil strip to bend and turn along the curved contour. When the copper foil strip on the curved contour forms a closed loop, as... Figure 4 The cutting assembly 4 shown cuts the copper foil strip. Before cutting, a clearance action is required. That is, the rotating arm 301 is lifted under the drive of the swing arm cylinder 311, and the attachment roller 302 is lifted away from the product. At the same time, the push cylinder 310 is retracted, causing the spring telescopic rod 308 to retract. At this time, the secondary pressure roller 309 is also removed from the product. The above-mentioned retraction action creates a clearance space for the cutting assembly 4 to move. During cutting, the roller loading cylinder 403 presses the tail roller 402 down onto the copper foil strip to fix the end. Then, the spring shears 401 are loaded by the clearance cylinder 408 to the near roller surface of the tail roller 402. Then, the push cylinder 406 compresses the spring shears 401. Since the copper foil strip is now inside the blade of the spring shears 401, the push cylinder 406 can use the spring shears 401 to cut the copper foil strip. After the cutting action is completed, the avoidance cylinder 408 will pull the spring shears 401 to retract and reset.

[0032] In addition, such as Figure 5 There is a sliding friction action between the belt 321 and the pulley 320 shown. The sliding friction occurs during the copper foil tape attachment process. That is, when the XYZU four-axis displacement module 6 moves, the copper foil tape will be pulled out from the copper foil tape feed tray under the reaction action of the attachment roller 302. During the pulling process, the tape loosens, and the motor can achieve tensioning of the synchronous belt.

[0033] In summary, this invention provides an automatic copper foil applicator for curved contours. It achieves precise reversing actions by replacing manual operation with a four-axis displacement module, and integrates the applicator and cutting actions on the same main panel. Through effective avoidance methods, it achieves orderly coordination between processes, thereby greatly improving production efficiency and enhancing process precision.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
