[0002] The new energy industry has developed rapidly in recent years. At present, lithium-ion battery separators are widely used in new energy vehicles, energy storage power stations, electric bicycles, mobile phones and other digital electronic products. There is a longitudinal stretching process in the production process of the separator. In the longitudinal stretching process, the gap between the rollers is small and the arrangement is close. Usually, a chain structure is used to assist the threading of the diaphragm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, a chain automatic tensioning adjustment mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged linear slide rails 3, a slider 31 is slidably connected on the linear slide rails 3, a base 1 is installed on the slider 31, a sprocket assembly 2 is symmetrically installed on the base 1 opposite to the slider 31, a hexagonal rod 11 is symmetrically connected on both sides of the base 1, a counterweight 4 is assembled on the hexagonal rod 11, a limit seat 5 is provided below the linear slide rail 3, a seventh fastener 52 is penetrated on the limit seat 5 and opposite to the lower side of the base 1, a bending plate 6 is installed on the base 1, and a clamping assembly is provided on the bending plate 6. When the seventh fastener 52 contacts the clamping assembly on the bending plate 6, the seventh fastener 52 acts on the output end of the clamping assembly to approach the linear slide rail 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, a plurality of third fasteners 32 are provided through the linear slide rail 3, and the linear slide rail 3 is vertically fixedly installed on the vertical vertical surface by the third fasteners 32. Slide rail blocks 33 are symmetrically provided on the upper and lower sides of the linear slide rail 3, and a fourth fastener 34 is provided through the slide rail block 33. The slide rail block 33 is fixedly installed on the vertical vertical surface by the fourth fastener 34. The chain to be tensioned is engaged and passes through the lower sides of the two sprocket assemblies 2. The slide rail block 33 can cooperate to protect and close the channel of the linear slide rail 3, thereby preventing the slider 31 from sliding off the linear slide rail 3. The limit seat 5 is fixed on the vertical vertical surface by a plurality of sixth fasteners 51. The base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2 can move vertically through the cooperation of the slider 31 and the linear slide 3. When the chain is loose, the base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2 can slide vertically downward to tighten the chain through the counterweights 4 on both sides. When the base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2 drop to a certain extent, the base 1 can contact the seventh fastener 52 on the limit seat 5, so that the seventh fastener 52 on the limit seat 5 is used to protect the support and avoid excessive drop. The length adjustment of the seventh fastener 52 through the limit seat 5 can control the drop space of the base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2. Furthermore, by adding the bending plate 6, when the base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2 drop to the limit, the seventh fastener 52 can be used to contact the clamping assembly in the bending plate 6, so that the output end of the clamping assembly is close to the linear slide 3 and the friction force of the squeeze is used to reduce the downward pressure of the base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2 on the seventh fastener 52, so as to avoid the instability of the connection between the limit seat 5 and the seventh fastener 52.

[0032] Preferably, the two sides of the base 1 are symmetrically threaded with hexagonal bars 11, the two hexagonal bars 11 on the same side are arranged in parallel, the counterweight 4 is slidably connected to the periphery of the two parallel hexagonal bars 11, the two sides of the hexagonal bars 11 are threaded, and the middle is in the shape of a hexagonal bar, and multiple counterweights 4 can be provided as needed, and a counterweight baffle 41 is also provided on the side of the counterweight 4 away from the base 1, and the counterweight baffle 41 is slidably sleeved on the periphery of the two hexagonal bars 11 on the same side, and a fifth fastener 42 is provided on the side of the counterweight baffle 41 away from the counterweight 4, and the fifth fastener 42 is threadedly sleeved on the periphery of the hexagonal bars 11. The counterweight can be controlled by the arrangement of the counterweight 4, and the counterweight 4 can be prevented from falling off the hexagonal bars 11 by the counterweight baffle 41, and the fifth fastener 42 can be screwed on the hexagonal bars 11 through threaded cooperation, so as to adjust and cooperate with the counterweight baffle 41 to prevent the counterweight 4 from falling off.

[0033] like Figure 4-Figure 8As shown, the sprocket assembly 2 includes a sprocket shaft 21, the bottom of the sprocket shaft 21 is a thick disc, and a shaft is welded in the middle. Four holes are set through the disc located on the sprocket shaft 21. The first fastener 22 passes through the four holes to fix the sprocket shaft 21 to the base 1, and the end of the sprocket shaft 21 becomes thinner. A sprocket 24 is rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the end of the sprocket shaft 21 through a bearing 23. The sprocket 24 is used for contact and engagement with the chain, and two threaded holes are provided at the end of the sprocket shaft 21, and the threaded holes are assembled and connected with a second fastener 27. A bearing cover 26 for fixing the position of the bearing 23 is provided with a hole in the sprocket 24, and a retaining ring groove is provided near the edge of the hole. A retaining ring 25 is installed in the retaining ring groove. When the sprocket 24 and the chain cooperate, when the stretching roller moves up and down, the tightness of the chain changes, and the base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2 will move up and down through the cooperation of the slider 31 and the linear slide rail 3. In this way, no matter how the position of the stretching roller changes, the entire chain can be tensioned in real time due to the gravity of the entire mechanism, and the tensioning force can be adjusted by the number of counterweights 4.

[0034] like Figure 9-10 As shown, the bending plate 6 is an "L"-shaped bent plate structure, one side of the bending plate 6 is fitted on the bottom of the base 1 and fixed to the bottom of the base 1 by bolts or screws, the other side of the bending plate 6 is embedded on the side of the base 1 facing the linear guide rail 3, and is arranged opposite to the seventh fastener 52, a cavity 61 is embedded in the bending plate 6, a vertical channel 63 is penetrated through the cavity 61 on the side facing the seventh fastener 52, horizontal channels 62 are penetrated on both sides of the cavity 61 and are arranged opposite to the linear guide rail 3, and the snap-on assembly is arranged in the cavity 61.

[0035] Preferably, the snap-on assembly includes a sector plate 64 symmetrically rotating at both ends of the cavity 61 and a strut 65 slidably connected to the horizontal channel 62 , and the end of the strut 65 extending into the cavity 61 is fixedly connected with a ball head 66 that slides in contact with the sector plate 64 . Among them, a spring is connected between the ball head 66 and the inner wall of the cavity 61, and the fan-shaped plate 64 is movably fitted on a side of the vertical channel 63 in the cavity 61. When the seventh fastener 52 contacts the fan-shaped plate 64, they continue to be relatively close, and the seventh fastener 52 can push the fan-shaped plate 64 to rotate in the cavity 61, thereby pushing the support rod 65 to slide outward on the horizontal channel 62 through contact with the ball head 66. The linear slide rail 3 and the horizontal channel 62 are relatively inlaid with an anti-skid gasket 35 made of rubber material and with anti-skid patterns on the surface. When the end of the support rod 65 extends out and contacts the anti-skid gasket 35, it can cooperate with the pressure to prevent the base 1 and the sprocket assembly 2 from continuing to descend through friction, thereby avoiding excessive force on the seventh fastener 52, which causes an unstable connection between the seventh fastener 52 and the limit seat 5, and also avoids pressure deformation.
