TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of polycarbonate film detection, and particularly relates to a polycarbonate film extrusion cross grain double detection equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] Polycarbonate is not suitable for blowing film and biaxial stretching due to its properties, and its film processing mode is mainly calendering and casting process, especially calendering.
[0003] Due to the extrusion effect of the roller, continuous extrusion lines can be easily formed on the surface of the polycarbonate sheet in the transverse direction, which is called gear lines, also known as cross lines.

Therefore, at the end of the polycarbonate film production and processing, it is necessary to detect whether the constant temperature appears on the polycarbonate film.

[0030] The laser refraction detection mechanism 4 further comprises a support 41, a turning support 42 and a lower support 44; the turning support 42 is adjustably connected with the support 41 through a bolt 46, the angle fixing posture of the turning support 42 can be adjusted through the bolt 46, the support 41 is located on the rack 1, and the laser emitter 43 is located at the end of the turning support 42.
[0031] The turning support 42 is L-shaped, the laser receiver 45 is connected with the rack 1 through the lower support 44, the receiving end of the laser receiver 45 is specifically located on the extension line of the axis of the bolt 46, so that when the turning support 42 is adjusted, the receiving end of the laser receiver 45 is within the range of laser light irradiation and possible deviation; the laser receiver 45 can detect a certain range of laser signals; the laser emitter 43 and the laser receiver 45 are both existing mature technologies.
[0032] The flip angle detection mechanism 5 also includes a gantry frame 51 and an upper support 57; the gantry frame 51 is located at the top of the frame 1, specifically above the upper guide roller 2, and mainly serves a fixing function; the hinge seat 52 is located on the side of the gantry frame 51; the flip plate 53 is hinged to the hinge seat 52, and the flip plate 53 can reverse when the sheet 54 is disturbed. The flip plate 53 is plate-shaped and parallel to the axis of the upper guide roller 2, and consistent with the direction of the transverse lines on the polycarbonate film.
[0033] The thickness of the sheet 54 is less than that of the flip plate 53, and the end of the sheet 54 is covered with a plastic layer 55. The plastic layer 55 is wrapped in a U-shape around the end of the sheet 54. The plastic layer 55 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. Polytetrafluoroethylene has a low coefficient of friction to avoid scratching the surface of the polycarbonate film during the testing process.
[0034] The two ends of the tension spring 56 are connected to the side of the flip plate 53 and the gantry frame 51, respectively.

[0035] The specific workflow of this invention is as follows:
[0036] polycarbonate film from Figure 1 The lower guide roller 3 at the right end of the middle frame 1 is conveyed in sequence through the top of the upper guide roller 2 on the rear side, the top of the upper guide roller 2 on the left side, and the lower part of the lower guide roller 3 at the left end.
[0037] First, adjust the angle between the laser emitter 43 and the polycarbonate film, as well as the relative positions of the laser generator 43 and the laser receiver 45. When the polycarbonate film passes through the laser refraction detection mechanism 4, the laser emitter 43 emits a laser beam, which irradiates the polycarbonate film. After two refractions, the laser beam is detected by the laser receiver 45. Because the polycarbonate film has a certain hardness and is tensioned during transport, if there are horizontal lines on the upper or lower surface of the polycarbonate film, the refraction angle of the laser will change, and the irradiation position of the light will shift. When the laser receiver 45 detects the shift, it can be preliminarily determined that there are horizontal lines on the surface of the polycarbonate film.
[0038] Subsequently, the polycarbonate film reaches the flip angle detection mechanism 5. Under the tension of the tension spring 56, the plastic layer 55 at the end of the sheet 54 presses against the top of the polycarbonate film. If there are horizontal lines on the upper or lower surface of the polycarbonate film, it will cause a change in the thickness of the polycarbonate film. Under the support of the upper guide roller 2, the change in thickness will cause the sheet 54 and the flip plate 53 to flip. If the flip plate 53 flips upward or downward, it will be detected by the displacement sensor 58, which can determine that there are horizontal lines in the polycarbonate film.
