[0025] This design can effectively prevent the film from loosening and curling, so that the film is conveyed to the winding module in a better stretched state.
[0026] Optionally, in the winding module, the first winding roller 3 is located at the proximal end of the conveying module compared to the second winding roller 4, and the second winding roller 4 is located at the distal end of the conveying module compared to the first winding roller 3, and the first winding roller 3 and the second winding roller 4 are used for winding the film.
[0027] This design is to interchange the positions of the first winding roller 3 and the second winding roller 4 when the film is fully wound in the first winding roller 3. At this time, the cutting module cuts the film between the first winding roller 3 and the second winding roller 4 along the transverse direction of the film, so that the subsequent film is wound in the second winding roller 4, thereby realizing continuous winding, saving downtime for reel changing and improving production efficiency.
[0028] Optionally, in the cutter module, a linear slide 6 is provided directly below or on the side of the crossbeam of the gantry 5, and a slider 7 is provided on the linear slide 6. The linear slide 6 and the slider 7 are used to slide the cutter 9 from one side of the film to the other side.

The length of the linear slide 6 needs to be greater than the width of the film to ensure that the cutter 9 cuts the film in the process of sliding from one side of the film to the other side.
[0030] Optionally, in the cutter module, a cutter cylinder 8 is provided on the slider 7, a cutter 9 is provided at the end of the piston rod of the cutter cylinder 8, the cutter cylinder 8 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the cutter 9, and the cutter 9 is used to cut the film.
[0031] When the film does not need to be cut, the slider 7 is located at the front end of the linear slide rail 6 (the end close to the head of the film), and the cutter cylinder 8 and the cutter 9 are in the initial position; when the film needs to be cut, the cutter 9 descends to the surface of the film as the cutter cylinder 8 descends, and the film is completely cut from the head to the tail.
[0032] Example 2 The present invention provides a film winding and cutting device. In the cutting module, pressure roller cylinders 10 are respectively provided on both sides of the crossbeam of the gantry 5.

Embodiment 3 uses multiple small pressure rollers 11 to replace the two large pressure rollers 11 in Embodiment 2. The multiple small pressure rollers 11 are evenly distributed on the crossbeam of the gantry 5. The piston rod end of each pressure roller cylinder 10 is connected to the pressure roller 11 respectively. The number of pressure rollers 11 is consistent with the number of pressure roller cylinders 10. Similarly, when the film does not need to be cut, the cutter cylinder 8, the cutter 9, the pressure roller cylinder 10 and the pressure roller 11 are in the initial position; when the film needs to be cut, the pressure roller cylinder 10 and the cutter cylinder 8 descend synchronously, and the cutter 9 descends to the surface of the film as the cutter cylinder 8 descends, and the multiple small pressure rollers 11 descend to the surface of the film as the pressure roller cylinder 10 descends. When the cutter 9 completely cuts the film from the head to the tail, the multiple small pressure rollers 11 press the subsequent film into another winding roller. This design replaces the two large pressing rollers 11 with a plurality of small pressing rollers 11 , thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and the difficulty of installation, and at the same time alleviating the load on the crossbeam of the gantry 5 .

[0038] Optionally, in S3, the cutter 9 descends to the film surface as the cutter cylinder 8 descends, so that the film is cut; the cutter 9 rises to the initial position as the cutter cylinder 8 rises, and waits for the next film cutting.
[0039] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the structure in the cutting state of the present invention. When the film needs to be cut, the cutter 9 descends to the surface of the film as the cutter cylinder 8 descends, and the slider 7 slides from the front end of the linear slide rail 6 (the end near the head of the film) to the rear end (the end near the tail of the film) to completely cut the film; after the film is cut, the cutter 9 rises to the initial position as the cutter cylinder 8 rises, and is used to wait for the next film cutting.
[0040] Optionally, in S3, the pressure roller cylinder 10 and the cutter cylinder 8 rise and fall synchronously, and the pressure roller 11 descends to the surface of the film as the pressure roller cylinder 10 descends, so that after the film is cut, the subsequent film is pressed into another winding roller; the pressure roller 11 rises to the initial position as the pressure roller cylinder 10 rises, waiting for the next film cutting.
