Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coating machines, in particular to a coating machine capable of precisely controlling the coating thickness of liquid medicine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In many fields such as medicine, electronics, printing and new energy, coating machines, as the core equipment for realizing precise coating of liquid medicine, directly determine the performance and quality of the end product. Especially in the fields of medicine patches, biological test papers and flexible electronic components, which have very high requirements for coating precision, the uniformity and consistency of the coating thickness of liquid medicine are key indicators to ensure the stability of product efficacy, the accuracy of detection or the reliability of circuit performance.

[0003] At present, mainstream coating machines usually rely on servo drive, pressure feedback or laser thickness measurement technology to achieve precise control of coating thickness, which has a complex structure and relies too much on electronic components, resulting in a high probability of damage. Moreover, in actual production, the coating machine often needs to be stopped for a short time due to roll replacement, substrate docking, process parameter adjustment, etc., which causes the liquid medicine in the tank to need to be left to stand for a certain period of time. The liquid medicine to be coated is usually a multi-phase dispersion system, which contains solid functional particles (such as medicine powder, conductive particles, nanofiller, etc.), liquid solvent (such as water, organic solvent), film-forming resin and various additives (such as dispersant, thickening agent). Due to the difference in density of each component, and the stability of some liquid medicine systems depends on continuous shear force or dispersion balance, if there is no effective dynamic maintenance measure during the waiting period, stratification will easily occur: the solid particles with higher density will gradually settle at the bottom of the tank, forming a sediment layer; the solvent or light components with lower density may float to the surface layer, causing the concentration and component distribution of the liquid medicine in the tank to be destroyed.

[0004] This stratification phenomenon will have a serious impact on the subsequent coating quality: when the coating machine is restarted, the liquid medicine taken from the tank by the coating mechanism may be the dilute solution in the upper layer, the concentrated sediment in the lower layer or the non-uniform intermediate phase, directly leading to significant fluctuations in the coating thickness, and even causing defects such as missing coating and material accumulation. For high-precision application scenarios, such problems not only reduce product pass rate, increase raw material loss and production cost, but also may cause safety risks due to substandard product performance.

[0034] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7The top wall of the sleeve 18 movably has a driven rod 26, the bottom end of the driven rod 26 is fixedly connected with the lifting rod 17, the top end of the driven rod 26 is provided with a vent hole 27; the inner wall of the sleeve 18 is symmetrically provided with a limiting block 30, the driven rod 26 is symmetrically provided with a limiting rod 29, the limiting block 30 and the limiting rod 29 are both made of rubber, the driven rod 26 is sleeved with a second spring 28, one end of the second spring 28 is connected with the top wall of the sleeve 18, and the other end is connected with the limiting rod 29; in order to enable the lifting rod 17 and the discharge pipe 32 to automatically reset, when the lifting rod 17 is lowered to the bottom, the second spring 28 is stretched, the limiting rod 29 passes the limiting block 30, at this time, the lifting rod 17 has not separated from the sleeve 18, the vent hole 27 on the driven rod 26 is located at the top wall of the sleeve 18, so that the sleeve 18 is communicated with the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 8, air can enter the feeding cylinder 8 through the vent hole 27, the air pressure in the sleeve 18 slowly decreases during the exhaust process, the limiting rod 29 is always blocked by the limiting block 30 during the pressure relief process, at this time, the air pressure is still greater than the residual force of the second spring 28, until the air pressure is reduced to "spring force > air pressure thrust", the lifting rod 17 starts to reset, so that the discharge pipe 32 is automatically reset, and the short stay also enables the paint to have sufficient time to discharge, it is worth mentioning that after the gas in the sleeve 18 enters the feeding cylinder 8, the air pressure in the feeding cylinder 8 gradually increases, which is helpful for the discharge of the paint.

[0035] The working principle of the present application is as follows: according to the width of the product, an external driving source (not shown) is used to drive the bidirectional screw rod 11 to rotate, so that the two driving rods 10 drive the two side plates 4 to move close to each other or move away from each other, so as to meet the width requirement of the product; the roller blade 5 is adjusted to the required coating thickness through the reading of the dial gauge when the adjusting knob is rotated; then, an appropriate amount of paint is added in the trough, and then an appropriate amount of paint is injected into the feeding cylinder 8 through the valve feeding pipe 9; after the feeding is completed, the valve is closed to make the feeding cylinder 8 in a sealed state; the coating machine works, and the paint in the trough is uniformly coated on the product as the product continuously moves; the paint in the trough is continuously consumed and reduced, and at the same time, the motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, so that the paint in the feeding cylinder 8 and the trough is stirred through the first stirring assembly 14 and the second stirring assembly 15, so as to avoid the stratification of the paint when it is at rest.

[0036] When the shaft 13 rotates, the oval block 20 rotates continuously, and the oval block 20 continuously contacts and extrudes the driven block 24 on both sides, so that the piston 22 moves towards the connecting pipe 31, and the air in the box 19 is sent into the sleeve 18 through the connecting pipe 31; when the oval block 20 is separated from the driven block 24, the piston 22 is reset under the action of the first spring 25, at this time, the external air is sucked into the box 19 through the air inlet pipe 21, and the process is repeated continuously, so that the air is continuously sent into the sleeve 18, the air pressure in the sleeve 18 gradually increases, the lifting rod 17 and the discharge pipe 32 are lowered, the discharge pipe 32 is separated from the blocking rod 16, and the paint automatically falls into the chute through the discharge pipe 32, that is, automatic feeding is realized; when the lifting rod 17 is lowered to the bottom, the second spring 28 is stretched, the limiting rod 29 passes through the limiting block 30, and the lifting rod 17 is always separated from the sleeve 18, at this time, the air hole 27 on the driven rod 26 is located at the top wall of the sleeve 18, so that the sleeve 18 is communicated with the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 8, and the air can enter the feeding cylinder 8 through the air hole 27; the air pressure in the sleeve 18 slowly decreases during the exhaust process, the limiting rod 29 is always blocked by the limiting block 30, the air pressure is still greater than the residual force of the second spring 28, the lifting rod 17 is temporarily stopped, and until the air pressure is reduced to "spring force> air pressure thrust", the lifting rod 17 and the discharge pipe 32 start to reset; it needs to be supplemented that the feeding speed can be adjusted according to the rotating speed of the motor 12, and the rotating speed is proportional to the feeding speed, and the specific adjustment can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not described here.

[0037] The above process is repeated continuously, so that intermittent feeding of the chute is realized, the paint in the chute is in dynamic balance, the paint is not completely consumed, the stable liquid level is maintained, manual frequent feeding is not needed, and the working efficiency is improved.

[0038] The above describes one embodiment of the application in detail, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the application, and cannot be considered as limiting the scope of the application. Any equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the application should still belong to the patent scope of the application.
