Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooling fan replacement technology, and in particular to a method for quickly replacing the cooling fan module of a foil production machine. Background Technology

[0002] A foil-making machine is a piece of equipment used to manufacture electrolytic copper foil. Electrolytic copper foil is one of the basic materials in the electronics industry and is widely used in printed circuit boards, lithium-ion batteries, and other fields. The main working principle of the foil-making machine is to deposit a uniform copper layer on the surface of the cathode roller through an electrolytic reaction. After peeling, winding, and other processes, the electrolytic copper foil product is finally obtained. During the operation of the foil-making machine, the cooling fan plays a key role in ensuring temperature control during the foil-making process.

[0003] During prolonged operation, the cooling fan accumulates dust, requiring timely cleaning to prevent malfunctions or damage to the copper foil quality. Additionally, the cooling fan may experience sudden equipment failures or require regular maintenance. In all these situations, the copper foil production machine must be temporarily shut down. However, the current cooling fan replacement, cleaning, and maintenance procedures require workers to climb to higher positions and use tools, making the disassembly and assembly processes cumbersome and time-consuming, significantly impacting the production efficiency of the copper foil production machine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to reduce the impact of cooling fan disassembly and assembly on the production efficiency of foil making machine, this application provides a method for quick replacement of cooling fan module of foil making machine.

[0005] The method for quick replacement of cooling fan module in a foil production machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for quickly replacing the cooling fan module of a foil-making machine, including...

[0007] The fixed air outlet hood is processed and connected to the foil production machine, and a working position is formed at the fixed air outlet hood;

[0008] The rotary mounting cover is processed to obtain multiple insertion areas. Then, the rotary mounting cover is installed on the foil production machine by a mounting frame, and the rotation axis of the rotary mounting cover is set horizontally.

[0009] The unlocking unit is installed on the mounting bracket, and the unlocking unit is in the replacement position, and the included angle between two adjacent plug-in areas is consistent with the included angle between the working position and the replacement position;

[0010] The outer casing and locking unit are processed, and the outer casing, locking unit and cooling fan are connected to obtain a cooling module. The connection operation is repeated to obtain multiple cooling modules.

[0011] Rotate the rotating mounting cover until the insertion area is rotated to the replacement position, insert the cooling module into the insertion area and lock it with the locking unit, repeat the operation so that there is a cooling module in at least two insertion areas;

[0012] Rotate the mounting cover in the opposite direction to move the insertion area from the working position to the replacement position. The unlocking unit will then release the locking unit from fixing the cooling module, allowing you to remove the cooling module.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixed air outlet cover is first processed and connected to the foil-making machine, with the fixed air outlet cover forming a working position; then a rotating mounting cover is processed, forming multiple insertion areas inside the rotating mounting cover; then the rotating mounting cover is installed on the foil-making machine using a mounting frame, with the rotation axis of the rotating mounting cover set horizontally; then an unlocking unit is installed on the mounting frame, with the unlocking unit in the replacement position, and the included angle between two adjacent insertion areas is consistent with the included angle between the working position and the replacement position; subsequently, an outer shell and a locking unit are processed, and the outer shell, locking unit, and cooling fan are connected to form a cooling module, and the connection operation is repeated to form multiple cooling modules; when installing the cooling module, the rotating mounting cover is rotated until the insertion area rotates to the replacement position, and the cooling module is then installed. Insert the cooling module into the insertion area and lock it with the locking unit. Repeat the operation to ensure that there is a cooling module in at least two insertion areas. When it is necessary to replace the cooling module in the working position, rotate the rotating mounting cover in the opposite direction to rotate the insertion area in the working position to the replacement position. The unlocking unit will then release the locking unit from fixing the cooling module, and the cooling module can be removed. The designed method for quick replacement of the cooling fan module of the foil making machine can quickly replace the cooling module in the working position by driving the rotating mounting cover to rotate. There is no need to stop the production operation of the foil making machine when replacing the cooling module. Moreover, the cooperation between the unlocking unit and the locking unit after rotating to the correct position can quickly remove and install the cooling module, reducing the difficulty of the operator in replacing the cooling module and reducing the impact of the cooling fan removal and installation on the production efficiency of the foil making machine.

[0014] In one specific implementation, the rotating mounting cover has multiple air inlets at one end near its own rotation axis.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the designed air inlet facilitates the provision of air source for the cooling fan inside the cooling module.

[0016] In one specific implementation, a filter screen is connected to the rotating mounting cover, and the filter screen is configured corresponding to the air inlet.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the designed filter screen can facilitate air filtration and extend the maintenance interval for dust cleaning of the cooling fan.

[0018] In one specific implementation, the air inlet of the fixed air outlet hood is larger than the air outlet of the insertion area, and the fixed air outlet hood is surrounded by a bellows cover, with a rotation gap between the bellows cover and the rotating mounting cover.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the designed air outlet size relationship and bellows cover can facilitate the airflow generated by the cooling fan to be introduced into the foil production machine.

[0020] In one specific implementation, the locking unit includes

[0021] A fixed base is connected to the rotating mounting cover;

[0022] A locking rod is slidably connected to the fixed base, and the locking rod passes through the rotating mounting cover and extends into the insertion area. The outer shell has a locking hole for inserting the locking rod.

[0023] A locking spring is sleeved on the locking rod and is simultaneously connected to the fixing seat and the locking rod, for allowing the locking rod to extend into the insertion area.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the designed locking unit can automatically lock the cooling module after the worker inserts it into the plug-in area, reducing the number of steps required for the worker to install the cooling module.

[0025] In one specific implementation, the unlocking unit includes

[0026] A signal transmitter is connected to a mounting bracket, and multiple signal receivers are connected to the rotating mounting cover.

[0027] An electromagnet is connected to a mounting bracket, and a reinforcing magnet is connected to the end of the locking rod away from the outer casing. When the signal receiver receives a signal from the signal transmitter, the electromagnet and the reinforcing magnet are positioned facing each other.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the designed unlocking unit achieves alignment between the signal receiver and the signal transmitter by rotating the mounting cover, thereby enabling the electromagnet to be powered on or off. Then, it applies force to the reinforcing magnet through magnetic attraction to overcome the elastic force of the locking spring on the locking rod, so that the locking rod stops locking the cooling module and achieves automatic unlocking after the cooling module is rotated into place.

[0029] In one specific implementation, a plug-in frame is connected inside the rotating mounting cover. The plug-in frame is connected to the rotating mounting cover to form a plug-in area, and a limit ring is connected to the inner side of the plug-in frame. When the outer shell abuts against the limit ring, the locking rod passes through the rotating mounting cover and the plug-in frame and extends into the locking hole.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the designed plug-in frame and limiting ring can limit the depth of the cooling module inserted into the plug-in area, thereby facilitating the alignment of the locking rod and the locking hole.

[0031] In one specific implementation, a rubber friction pad is connected to the inner wall of the plug-in frame, and the outer shell is in an interference fit with the rubber friction pad when it extends into the inner cavity of the plug-in frame.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the designed rubber friction pad can avoid the possibility that the cooling module will fall directly from the plug-in area under its own gravity after it has been rotated into place and unlocked.

[0033] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0034] 1. The designed method for quick replacement of the cooling fan module of the foil-making machine allows for rapid replacement of the cooling module at the work position by driving the rotating mounting cover. The production operation of the foil-making machine does not need to be stopped when replacing the cooling module. Furthermore, the cooperation between the unlocking unit and the locking unit after the rotation is in place allows for quick disassembly and assembly of the cooling module, reducing the difficulty of the operator in replacing the cooling module and also reducing the impact of the cooling fan disassembly and assembly on the production efficiency of the foil-making machine.

[0035] 2. The designed quick-change method for the cooling fan module of the foil-making machine can automatically lock the cooling module after the operator inserts it into the plug-in area, reducing the number of steps required for the operator to install the cooling module.

[0036] 3. The designed method for quick replacement of the cooling fan module of the foil-making machine is to align the signal receiver and the signal transmitter by rotating the mounting cover, thereby enabling the electromagnet to be powered on or off. Then, the magnetic attraction applies force to the reinforcing magnet to overcome the elastic force of the locking spring on the locking rod, so that the locking rod stops locking the cooling module and automatically unlocks it after the cooling module is rotated into place.

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0043] This application discloses a method for quickly replacing the cooling fan module of a foil production machine.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 A method for quickly replacing the cooling fan module of a foil-making machine includes...

[0045] S1: Process to obtain fixed air outlet hood 1 and connect fixed air outlet hood 1 to foil production machine, and form a working position at fixed air outlet hood 1;

[0046] S2: The rotary mounting cover 2 is processed, and multiple insertion areas 21 are formed inside the rotary mounting cover 2. Then, the rotary mounting cover 2 is installed on the foil production machine through the mounting frame, and the rotation axis of the rotary mounting cover 2 is set horizontally.

[0047] S3: Install the unlocking unit on the mounting bracket, with the unlocking unit in the replacement position, and make the included angle between two adjacent plug-in areas 21 consistent with the included angle between the working position and the replacement position;

[0048] S4: Process the outer shell 5 and the locking unit 6, and connect the outer shell 5, the locking unit 6 and the cooling fan 7 to obtain a cooling module, and repeat the connection operation to obtain multiple cooling modules;

[0049] S5: Rotate the rotating mounting cover 2 until the insertion area 21 is rotated to the replacement position, insert the cooling module into the insertion area 21 and lock it through the locking unit 6, repeat the operation so that there is a cooling module in at least two insertion areas 21.

[0050] S6: Reverse rotation of the rotating mounting cover 2 rotates the insertion area 21 in the working position to the replacement position. The unlocking unit releases the locking unit 6 from fixing the cooling module, and the cooling module can be removed. The replacement of the cooling module in the working position can be quickly achieved by driving the rotating mounting cover 2 to rotate. There is no need to stop the production operation of the foil making machine when replacing the cooling module. After rotating to the position, the cooperation between the unlocking unit and the locking unit 6 can quickly realize the disassembly and assembly of the cooling module, reducing the difficulty of the operator in replacing the cooling module and reducing the impact of the disassembly and assembly of the cooling fan 7 on the production efficiency of the foil making machine.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, in order to facilitate the provision of air source for the cooling fan 7 in the cooling module, the rotating mounting cover 2 has multiple air inlets 22 at one end near its own rotation axis; in order to facilitate air filtration and extend the maintenance interval for dust cleaning of the cooling fan 7, a filter screen 23 is bolted to the rotating mounting cover 2, and the filter screen 23 is set corresponding to the air inlets 22. In this application, the filter screen 23 can be located inside the rotating mounting cover 2 or outside the rotating mounting cover 2. In this embodiment, the filter screen 23 is installed outside the rotating mounting cover 2 for easy replacement.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, in order to facilitate the airflow generated by the cooling fan 7 to the copper foil outlet on the foil production machine, the air inlet of the fixed air outlet cover 1 is set to be larger than the air outlet of the plug-in area 21, and a bellows cover 11 is screwed onto the fixed air outlet. The bellows cover 11 surrounds the air inlet of the fixed air outlet cover 1, and a rotation gap is left between the bellows cover 11 and the rotating mounting cover 2 to reduce the loss of air blown by the cooling module.

[0053] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, the locking unit 6 includes a fixed base 61, a locking rod 62, and a locking spring 63. The fixed base 61 is connected to the rotating mounting cover 2, and a cavity is formed between the fixed base 61 and the rotating mounting cover 2. The locking rod 62 passes through the fixed base 61 and is slidably connected to the fixed base 61. The axial direction of the locking rod 62 is consistent with the axial direction of the rotating mounting cover 2. After passing through the rotating mounting cover 2, the locking rod 62 extends into the insertion area 21. The outer shell 5 has a locking hole for inserting the locking rod 62. The locking spring 63 is sleeved on the locking rod 62 and is welded and fixed to both the fixed base 61 and the locking rod 62. The locking spring 63 is used to allow the locking rod 62 to extend into the insertion area 21. This allows the cooling module to be automatically locked after the operator inserts it into the insertion area 21, reducing the number of steps required for the operator to install the cooling module.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, the rotating mounting cover 2 is connected to multiple plug-in frames 8. Both ends of the plug-in frames 8 are open. The plug-in frames 8 are welded to the rotating mounting cover 2 to form a plug-in area 21. A limit ring 81 is welded and fixed to the inner side of the plug-in frames 8. When the outer shell 5 abuts against the limit ring 81, the locking rod 62 passes through the rotating mounting cover 2 and the plug-in frames 8 and extends into the locking hole.

[0055] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, to prevent the cooling module from falling directly from the plug-in area 21 under its own gravity after being rotated into place and unlocked, a rubber friction pad 82 is connected to the inner wall of the plug-in frame 8. The rubber friction pad 82 has multiple protrusions integrally formed on the side surface near the outer shell 5. When the outer shell 5 is inserted into the inner cavity of the plug-in frame 8, the protrusions are squeezed to make the outer shell 5 and the plug-in frame 8 have an interference fit.

[0056] Specifically, the unlocking unit includes a signal transmitter, a signal receiver, an electromagnet, and a reinforcing magnet. The signal transmitter is screwed to the mounting bracket. There are multiple signal receivers, which are connected to the rotating mounting cover 2. The angle between two adjacent signal receivers is the same as the angle between the working position and the changing position. The electromagnet is bolted to the mounting bracket. The reinforcing magnet is connected to the end of the locking rod 62 away from the outer casing 5. When the signal receiver receives the signal from the signal transmitter, the electromagnet and the reinforcing magnet are positioned facing each other. The external power supply equipment supplies power to the electromagnet while the signal receiver receives the signal. By rotating the rotating mounting cover 2, the signal receiver and the signal transmitter are aligned, thereby powering or de-energizing the electromagnet. Then, the magnetic attraction applies force to the reinforcing magnet to overcome the elastic force of the locking spring 63 on the locking rod 62, so that the locking rod 62 stops locking the cooling module, realizing automatic unlocking after the cooling module is rotated into position.

[0057] The implementation principle of a method for quickly replacing a cooling fan module in a foil-making machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: First, a fixed air outlet cover 1 is processed and connected to the foil-making machine, with the fixed air outlet cover 1 forming a working position; then, a rotating mounting cover 2 is processed, with multiple insertion areas 21 formed inside the rotating mounting cover 2; then, the rotating mounting cover 2 is installed on the foil-making machine using a mounting bracket, and the rotation axis of the rotating mounting cover 2 is set horizontally; then, an unlocking unit is installed on the mounting bracket, with the unlocking unit in the replacement position, and the included angle between two adjacent insertion areas 21 is consistent with the included angle between the working position and the replacement position; subsequently, a housing 5 and a locking unit 6 are processed, and the housing 5, the locking unit 6, and the cooling fan 7 are connected to obtain a cooling module, and the connection operation is repeated to obtain multiple cooling modules; when installing the cooling module, the rotating mounting cover 2 is rotated... Install cover 2 until the insertion area 21 rotates to the replacement position, insert the cooling module into the insertion area 21 and lock it with locking unit 6. Repeat the operation to ensure that there is a cooling module in at least two insertion areas 21. When it is necessary to replace the cooling module in the working position, rotate the rotating cover 2 in the opposite direction to rotate the insertion area 21 in the working position to the replacement position. The unlocking unit will release the locking unit 6 from fixing the cooling module, and the cooling module can be taken out. The replacement of the cooling module in the working position can be quickly realized by driving the rotating cover 2 to rotate. There is no need to stop the production operation of the foil making machine when replacing the cooling module. After rotating to the position, the cooperation between the unlocking unit and the locking unit 6 can quickly realize the disassembly and assembly of the cooling module, reducing the difficulty of the operator in replacing the cooling module and reducing the impact of the disassembly and assembly of the cooling fan 7 on the production efficiency of the foil making machine.

[0058] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
