TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The film unwinding device is a key component of continuous web production lines such as film coating, lamination, and printing, mainly used for stably releasing web materials from the raw material reel for subsequent processing. The device structure usually includes a reel support mechanism, a braking or driving system, and a tension control unit, which work together to achieve the continuity of the unwinding process. By adjusting the unwinding speed in real time to match the production line running rate and maintaining the web tension within a reasonable range, the film unwinding device can effectively reduce material relaxation or tensile deformation, thereby supporting the smooth progress of downstream processes such as coating, lamination, or printing, and improving the reliability of the production process.
[0003] The existing continuous web production lines such as film coating, lamination, and printing have the following technical pain points: relying on manual judgment and operation for film roll replacement and handling scheduling, the decision-making process has a lag and it is difficult to accurately coordinate the concurrent material requirements of multiple stations. When multiple unwinding stations need to replace film rolls at the same time, shared handling resources such as gantry robots will face task conflicts, and lack of real-time task priority sorting and path planning based on a central control system, which may cause the running path of the automatic handling unit to intersect or block, causing equipment waiting or empty running. For example, in the production process of a film coating machine, if station one and station three simultaneously issue a roll-up request, the operator or simple control system cannot quickly make the optimal scheduling decision, and the handling mechanism may need to complete the task of station one before moving to station three, during which station three is in a waiting state, directly causing the production process to be interrupted, affecting the continuity and stability of the entire line operation.

The units work cooperatively through mechanical interfaces and electrical connections, the film roll storage unit (1) is the starting point, the automatic handling unit (2) is the handling hub, the unwinding station execution unit (3) is the terminal, and the detection unit (4) realizes real-time monitoring of the entire process, so that the full automation of the film roll winding is realized.
[0022] The control device comprises a data acquisition module, a state monitoring module, a task scheduling module, a path planning module and an execution control module, and the data acquisition module, the state monitoring module, the task scheduling module, the path planning module and the execution control module are sequentially connected. The data acquisition module is used for acquiring signals and instructions from the detection unit 4 and the film coating machine main control system, and outputting physical device state data constituted by the signals and instructions to the state monitoring module; The state monitoring module receives the physical device state data from the data acquisition module, identifies the current state of all stations in the unwinding station execution unit 3 using a logical algorithm, and outputs monitoring data including the station state and the device occupation to the task scheduling module; The task scheduling module receives the monitoring data from the state monitoring module, sorts the multi-station winding requests in the monitoring data using a dynamic priority algorithm, generates a winding instruction sequence and outputs it to the path planning module; The path planning module receives the roll-up instruction sequence from the task scheduling module and the real-time position data of the automatic handling unit 2 from the state monitoring module, generates a conflict-free motion path using a motion planning algorithm, and outputs the conflict-free motion path to the execution control module; The execution control module receives the conflict-free motion path from the path planning module, controls the automatic handling unit 2 and the unwinding station execution unit 3 to perform film roll handling and clamping actions, and sends the updated station state to the film coating machine main control system.
[0023] The specific working process of the film unwinding device based on automatic control is as follows. The data acquisition module first starts running. The module continuously acquires electrical signals and digital instructions from various sensors of the detection unit 4 and the film coating machine main control system through hardwiring or industrial network connection. The sensors distributed on various physical devices of the detection unit 4 generate real-time raw data such as film roll presence signals, robot position coordinates, tension shaft head state signals, and film roll installation state signals; at the same time, the film coating machine main control system sends production instructions including production order number and emergency level identification to the data acquisition module. The data acquisition module performs analog-to-digital conversion and data packaging on the above multi-source signals and instructions, combines them into a physical device state data packet with unified format, and transmits it to the state monitoring module through the data bus.
[0024] After receiving the physical device state data, the state monitoring module starts the internally preset logic algorithm for state recognition. The logic algorithm takes a state machine model as the core and analyzes the input data packet: by comparing the film roll in-place signal with the inventory database, the material level state of the film roll storage unit 1 is determined; by analyzing the robot position coordinates and the preset coordinate range, it is determined whether the automatic handling unit 2 is in idle, moving or working state; by analyzing the tension shaft head state signal and the film roll installation state signal, it is determined whether each station in the unwinding station execution unit 3 is in material waiting, clamping completion or fault state. The state monitoring module structures the recognition results to generate a station state table and a device occupation table including time stamps. These two types of monitoring data are provided to the task scheduling module through memory sharing.
[0025] The task scheduling module calls a dynamic priority algorithm to process the received monitoring data. The algorithm has a double-parameter input channel: on the one hand, the order urgency parameter is extracted from the production instruction sent by the main control system of the laminating machine, which is mapped as the weight coefficient of different stations; on the other hand, the standby time of each station is calculated from the device occupation table to generate a time decay factor. The dynamic priority algorithm performs weighted summation on the weight coefficient and the decay factor, and outputs the comprehensive priority score of each roll-up request. When multiple stations request roll-up at the same time in the monitoring data, the task scheduling module generates a roll-up instruction sequence in descending order of score, which includes station number, execution priority and preset time window, etc. Control parameters are sent to the path planning module through the message queue.
[0026] The path planning module synchronously receives three-way input data: the roll-up instruction sequence from the task scheduling module, the real-time position coordinates of the automatic handling unit 2 provided by the state monitoring module, and the system environment map including device layout coordinates loaded from the non-volatile memory. The path planning module uses a motion planning algorithm to calculate the trajectory, which first allocates a straight motion path to the high-score station according to the priority order in the roll-up instruction sequence, and plans a curve path including avoidance points for the low-score station; then combines the real-time position coordinates and the environment map for collision detection, and finally generates a conflict-free motion path composed of three-dimensional coordinate points. The path planning module encodes the motion path into path coordinate sequence data packets, which are transmitted to the execution control module through real-time Ethernet.
[0027] The execution control module, as the final execution unit of the control flow, converts the received path coordinate sequence into two types of control signals: through the servo driver, it sends motion control instructions including speed, acceleration and position information to the automatic handling unit 2, so that the heavy-duty gantry multi-axis robot moves along the predetermined path; at the same time, it sends axial displacement instructions to the tensioning shaft head servo motor of the unwinding station execution unit 3 to control the tensioning shaft head to complete the film roll clamping action. During the entire execution process, the sensors of the detection unit 4 continuously feedback the execution state, and the execution control module compares and verifies these state data with the predetermined action, generates a station state update signal immediately after completing the clamping, which is fed back to the state monitoring module through the data acquisition module, forming a closed-loop control. Finally, the execution control module sends the ready station state data packet to the main control system of the laminating machine, realizing collaborative operation with the production line level control system.
[0028] The film unwinding device based on automatic control comprises a detection unit 4, an automatic carrying unit 2, a film storage unit 1 and a film unwinding station execution unit 3. The detection unit 4 comprises a film roll in-place sensor, a manipulator positioning sensor, a shaft head standby detection sensor and a film roll installation confirmation sensor. The film roll in-place sensor is installed on the storage rack of the film storage unit 1, and detects the film roll presence signal through the photoelectric sensing principle, and generates a level change signal when the film roll is put in or taken out. The manipulator positioning sensor is integrated at the joint of the manipulator of the automatic carrying unit 2, and adopts a rotary encoder to collect the manipulator position coordinates, and feeds back the coordinate values of the manipulator in the three-dimensional space in real time. The shaft head standby detection sensor and the film roll installation confirmation sensor are respectively fixed on each work station support of the film unwinding station execution unit 3. The shaft head standby detection sensor detects whether the tension shaft head is retreated to the standby position through a proximity switch, and outputs a switching signal. The film roll installation confirmation sensor detects the clamping force between the film roll and the shaft head through a pressure sensor, and outputs an analog signal. The film roll presence signal, the manipulator position coordinates, the tension shaft head state signal and the film roll installation state signal output by the sensors are transmitted to a data acquisition module through a cable, the data acquisition module carries out filtering and digitization processing on the signals, and forms a unified physical equipment state data package.
[0029] In the film unwinding device based on automatic control, the automatic carrying unit 2 adopts a heavy-duty truss type multi-axis manipulator. The manipulator is driven by a servo motor to realize vertical lifting, horizontal movement and rotation movement freedom in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions. The truss structure of the heavy-duty truss type multi-axis manipulator is fixedly connected with the factory foundation through a guide rail, so as to ensure the stability during the movement of the manipulator. The servo driver of the manipulator is electrically connected with the execution control module through an Ethernet cable. The execution control module sends a pulse signal to control the servo driver, and the servo driver adjusts the rotating speed and direction of the servo motor. According to the control signal sent by the execution control module, the heavy-duty truss type multi-axis manipulator analyzes the coordinate point sequence in the conflict-free motion path, and sequentially executes acceleration, uniform speed and deceleration motion, moves along the predetermined track between the film storage unit 1 and the film unwinding station execution unit 3, and completes the film roll grabbing and carrying.
[0030] In the film unwinding device based on automatic control, the task scheduling module runs a dynamic priority algorithm, which extracts production plan priority parameters and equipment load priority parameters from the monitoring data received by the state monitoring module. The production plan priority parameters are parsed from the order information issued by the main control system of the film coating machine, and are mapped into a work station weight coefficient according to the order urgency, for example, a high-urgency order corresponds to a high-weight coefficient. The equipment load priority parameter is calculated from the standby time of the work station in the monitoring data, and a time decay factor is generated by an exponential decay function, and the longer the standby time, the larger the decay factor. The task scheduling module inputs the work station weight coefficient and the time decay factor into a weighted summation formula to calculate the comprehensive priority score of each unwinding request. When the monitoring data indicates that multiple work stations trigger the unwinding request at the same time, the task scheduling module sorts the comprehensive priority score from high to low, generates an unwinding instruction sequence including the work station number and the execution order, and sends the sequence to the path planning module.
[0031] In a second aspect, referring to Figure 2 The film unwinding system based on automatic control is applied to the film unwinding device based on automatic control as described, and comprises: A physical device device, comprising a film roll storage unit 1, an automatic handling unit 2, an unwinding work station execution unit 3 and a detection unit 4; A control device, which interacts with the physical device device through communication connection and data acquisition module, state monitoring module, task scheduling module, path planning module and execution control module connected in turn; The data acquisition module is configured to obtain signals and instructions from the detection unit 4 and the main control system of the film coating machine, and output physical device state data to the state monitoring module; The state monitoring module is configured to receive physical device state data, identify the state of all work stations in the unwinding work station execution unit 3 using a logical algorithm, and output monitoring data to the task scheduling module; The task scheduling module is configured to receive monitoring data, sort multiple work station unwinding requests using a dynamic priority algorithm, generate an unwinding instruction sequence and output it to the path planning module; The path planning module is configured to receive the unwinding instruction sequence and the real-time position data of the automatic handling unit 2, generate a conflict-free motion path using a motion planning algorithm, and output it to the execution control module; The execution control module is configured to receive the conflict-free motion path, control the automatic handling unit 2 and the unwinding work station execution unit 3 to perform film roll handling and clamping actions, and send the updated work station state to the main control system of the film coating machine.
[0032] The application solves the problem of conflict in time and space of material handling demand of multiple unwinding stations by constructing a hierarchical control architecture which integrates physical equipment devices and control devices closely. The data acquisition module of the control device obtains sensor signals of the detection unit 4 and production instructions of the main control system of the laminating machine in real time, forms physical equipment state data, and comprehensively perceives the system running state. The state monitoring module uses logical algorithm to analyze these data, accurately identifies the current state and equipment occupation of each station, and outputs structured monitoring data to provide real-time basis for subsequent decision-making. After receiving the monitoring data, the task scheduling module runs a dynamic priority algorithm, extracts production plan priority parameters and equipment load priority parameters, and generates a comprehensive priority score for each winding request. When multiple stations trigger requests at the same time, the module generates a winding instruction sequence in descending order of the score, thereby intelligently allocating handling tasks in the time dimension and avoiding decision lag or resource competition. The path planning module calculates a conflict-free motion path based on the priority order of the winding instruction sequence, the real-time position of the automatic handling unit 2 and the pre-stored environment map, and uses a motion planning algorithm to plan a straight path for high-priority stations and a curve path containing avoidance points for low-priority stations, thereby avoiding mechanical hand motion trajectory intersection or blocking in the spatial dimension. The execution control module converts the path into a servo drive signal to control the automatic handling unit 2 and the unwinding station execution unit 3 to act cooperatively, and returns the station state update signal to the data acquisition module through a closed-loop feedback mechanism, so that the system can dynamically adjust the response. The whole process realizes adaptive scheduling and cooperative control of multiple station demands through continuous data flow transmission between modules, effectively reduces equipment waiting time, eliminates production interruption, and ensures continuous and stable operation of the laminating machine.
