Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a continuous carbon fiber fabric slitting and adaptive follow-up coating equipment and its usage method, belonging to the technical field of automated cutting and coating equipment. Background Technology
[0002] High-performance composite materials such as carbon fiber cloth have wide applications in modern industry and high-end manufacturing. Their processing places stringent requirements on slitting accuracy, production efficiency, and surface protection performance. Due to the high cost and fragile nature of carbon fiber tow, it is prone to edge detachment and scattering during slitting. At the same time, its lightweight nature makes it easy to generate electrostatic adsorption and dust during processing.
[0003] Existing small and medium-sized high-speed carbon fiber slitting equipment has the following technical defects in practical applications:
[0004] Firstly, production efficiency is limited. Traditional transverse slitting mechanisms require the preceding unwinding mechanism to stop and wait, making it impossible to achieve continuous supply and coordinated slitting of carbon fiber cloth. This results in a significant reduction in the overall production efficiency of the equipment, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale continuous production.
[0005] Secondly, the slitting quality is unstable. Existing equipment lacks a real-time visual correction mechanism based on material texture characteristics. When there is a slight deviation in the fabric feed, the cutter can easily cut the carbon fiber filaments across the texture, causing the fibers to become scattered and burrs to grow at the cut edge, which seriously affects the material edge quality and subsequent performance.
[0006] Third, environmental hazards during production. If the fiber dust and debris generated during carbon fiber slitting are not treated in a timely and effective manner, they will seriously endanger the health of operators. At the same time, dust accumulation will affect the stable operation of precision components of equipment and increase maintenance costs.
[0007] Fourth, lack of surface protection. Traditional slitting mechanisms do not integrate a unified film-sealing function. The slitting carbon fiber cloth lacks surface protection during subsequent handling and is easily loosened or worn due to friction and collision, making it difficult to meet the strict requirements of high-end manufacturing fields for material cleanliness and integrity.
[0008] Fifth, poor process adaptability. Existing equipment requires manual adjustment of cutting and dust removal parameters, and cannot adapt to the cutting process of different types and textures of carbon fiber cloth. Parameter setting depends on manual experience, resulting in poor slitting quality stability.
[0009] In summary, existing carbon fiber fabric slitting technologies suffer from prominent problems such as downtime, edge fraying, dust pollution, and lack of coating protection. There is an urgent need for an integrated solution that can achieve continuous slitting, intelligent deviation correction, dust and static electricity removal, and adaptive coating. Summary of the Invention

[0025] This invention also discloses a method for using the above-mentioned continuous carbon fiber cloth slitting and adaptive follow-up coating equipment, characterized by the following steps:
[0026] S1: The preceding continuous unwinding and feeding mechanism continuously outputs carbon fiber cloth. After being flattened and tension stabilized, it is supplied by the left feed roller group. The carbon fiber cloth is smoothly conveyed and transitioned along the inclined negative pressure bottom plate under the action of gravity.
[0027] S2: The tracking and cutting device moves at the same speed as the carbon fiber cloth along the conveying direction, while the cutting integration module performs transverse cutting perpendicular to the conveying direction; after the cutting is completed, the tracking and cutting device moves in the opposite direction to reset.

[0029] S4: The composite traction pressure roller group presses the upper film, carbon fiber cloth and lower film simultaneously, and accelerates the traction when the tail end of the slit carbon fiber cloth leaves the right discharge roller group to open the gap between adjacent carbon fiber cloths.
[0030] S5: The hot-pressing module performs transverse heat sealing and heat-pressing on both sides of the film and carbon fiber cloth after the gap is opened, completing the independent isolation sealing.
[0031] Further, step S2 includes:
[0032] S21: The first vision detection component extracts the visual texture features of the carbon fiber cloth before slicing, and the policy network outputs various action command signals.
[0033] S22: The static ion fan blows ion wind toward the non-negative pressure isolation zone of the negative pressure base plate with the power commanded by the strategy network to neutralize static electricity and avoid interference with the negative pressure adsorption airflow;
[0034] S23: The fine-tuning cutting component receives the correction signal and cutting speed signal output by the strategy network, drives the slitting tool to perform fine-tuning, and performs transverse slitting at the corresponding cutting speed;
[0035] S24: The dust extraction and separation component is inserted into the cut and the neutralized dust is extracted with the power of the strategy network command.
[0036] S25: The second vision detection component acquires and extracts the features of the cut image after the dust removal.
[0037] Further, steps S21-S25 involve the control unit executing adaptive control based on a proximal strategy optimization algorithm, including:
[0038] A multi-dimensional state sequence is constructed by collecting the current tool position coordinates, visual texture features, the action command of the previous moment, and the deviation features between the tool position and the ideal cutting path;
[0039] The multidimensional state sequence is input into the strategy network to generate and execute action commands including suction power, motor fine-tuning amount, ion wind power and cutting speed.
[0040] Based on the cut quality features extracted from the cut images acquired by the second vision detection component, the multi-objective joint reward is calculated, and the strategy network parameters are updated or the reward coefficients are adjusted according to the average reward value within the update cycle, until all reward coefficients and reward values reach the preset target values.
[0041] Furthermore, adaptive control includes the following steps:
[0042] S61: Collect the current tool position coordinates, visual texture features, the previous action command, and the deviation features between the tool position and the ideal cutting path to construct a multi-dimensional state sequence. ;
[0043] S62: Input the multi-dimensional state sequence into the policy network to generate a system including dust collection power. Motor fine-tuning amount Ion wind power and cutting speed Action instructions , ;
[0044] S63: Perform cutting according to the action command, and collect and extract the cut image features after the dust removal through the second vision detection component;
[0045] S64: Calculate the multi-objective joint reward based on the kerf image features. and accumulate reward value ;
[0046] S65: Determine the current iteration step. Has the preset update cycle been reached? If yes, then calculate the average reward value within the calculation period. If not, return to continue with the control and data accumulation for the next step.
[0047] S66: Then calculate the advantage function GAE and the near-end truncation loss LCLIP to update the policy network parameters; if If the reward coefficients do not reach the target values, the average score of each reward is calculated to dynamically adjust the reward coefficients; if all reward coefficients reach the target values, the strategy network parameters are saved and the adaptive tuning process ends.
[0048] Furthermore, the multi-objective joint reward The calculation formula is:
[0049] ,
[0050] in, As a reward for trajectory matching, For edge quality rewards, As a reward for cleanliness, Penalties for exceeding limits;
[0051] The trajectory matching reward The calculation formula is:
[0052] ,
[0053] in This is the error sensitivity coefficient. These are the actual coordinates of the cut edge features. The coordinates of the ideal cutting edge feature;
[0054] The edge quality reward The calculation formula is:
[0055] ,
[0056] in The loose fiber penalty coefficient is... This represents the total number of burrs and loose pixels on the outer side of the cut.
[0057] The cleanliness reward The calculation formula is:
[0058] ,
[0059] in This is the dust penalty coefficient. The number of free dust noise points in the cut edge area;
[0060] The penalty for exceeding the limit Triggered when a sudden increase in the total number of loose pixels is detected and the suction power has been positively adjusted, a fixed penalty value is assigned.
[0061] Furthermore, it also includes a gradual tightening adjustment strategy:
[0062] Set the error sensitivity coefficient and penalty coefficient , The base value and the maximum stringency value;
[0063] Based on the ratio of the average score of individual rewards to the overall average reward value within the current update cycle, the update step size of the error sensitivity coefficient and penalty coefficient is dynamically adjusted to satisfy the following update relationship:
[0064] ,
[0065] in, This is the updated error sensitivity coefficient. This represents the current error sensitivity coefficient. Based on the step size factor, For the maximum stringency value, Based on the value, This represents the average reward for each item related to trajectory fit within the current period. This represents the overall average of multiple rewards within the current period.
[0066] If the performance of an individual award is better than the overall average, that is If the update step size is increased to accelerate the approach to the maximum stringency value, then the individual reward performance is worse than the overall average. If the update step size is reduced, the approach to the maximum stringency value will be delayed, thus achieving dynamic adjustment from lenient to stringent.
[0067] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0068] (1) By using the follow-cutting device to move at the same speed as the fabric along the conveying direction of the carbon fiber fabric, the continuous supply of the preceding unwinding mechanism is maintained during the transverse cutting process, without the need to stop and wait, thus improving the production efficiency of the cutting equipment.
[0069] (2) By neutralizing static electricity in the cutting area with an antistatic ion fan, and using a dust extraction and edge separation component to extract dust from the cut seam, dust adsorption and edge burrs are reduced.
[0070] (3) A passive follow-up coating roller is adopted to follow the cutting and slitting device. By changing the lower coating area to receive the slit carbon fiber cloth, the lower coating feeding mechanism and the end traction mechanism maintain the constant tension of the film material, thus realizing the synchronous adaptation of the coating laying and slitting action and ensuring the stability of the coating process.
[0071] (4) When the carbon fiber cloth is separated from the discharge roller group by the composite traction pressure roller group, the gap between adjacent carbon fiber cloths is opened. Then, the sealing hot pressing module is used to perform transverse heat sealing at the gap and longitudinal heat pressing on both sides of the edge, so that each piece of carbon fiber cloth is independently sealed between the continuous upper and lower films, which facilitates surface protection in subsequent circulation.
[0072] (5) Based on the near-end strategy optimization algorithm, the multi-objective joint reward (including trajectory fit, edge quality and cleanliness) is calculated according to the slit image collected by the rear vision detection component. The control parameters such as suction power, motor fine adjustment, ion wind power and cutting speed are dynamically adjusted. The training process is optimized by adopting a progressive tightening adjustment strategy, so that the system can adapt to the cutting process requirements of different carbon fiber cloth materials and improve the stability of the cutting quality.

[0097] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a continuous carbon fiber fabric slitting and adaptive follow-up coating device. This device is used to slit carbon fiber fabric into blocks and independently encapsulate each block between continuous upper and lower coatings (see...). Figure 9 (Illustrative diagram) The equipment includes a frame 100, on which a continuous unwinding feeding mechanism 200, a follow-up cutting and slitting device 300, an adaptive follow-up coating mechanism 400, and a composite traction and packaging discharge mechanism 500 are arranged in sequence along the carbon fiber cloth conveying direction. The mechanisms work together to complete the entire process of continuous feeding, follow-up cutting and slitting, adaptive follow-up coating and independent isolation packaging of carbon fiber cloth.
[0099] like Figure 2 As shown, the preceding continuous unwinding feeding mechanism 200 includes an unwinding frame 210, a flattening roller group 220, a first tension frame 230, and a left feed traction roller 240. The carbon fiber cloth roll is placed on the unwinding frame 210 and is continuously unwound under the action of the driving mechanism. The carbon fiber cloth is sequentially wound around the flattening roller group 220 and the first tension frame 230. The flattening roller group 220 widens the carbon fiber cloth and eliminates edge slack and wrinkles, ensuring the flatness of the feed. The first tension frame 230 adaptively absorbs and buffers the tension difference generated by the unwinding and subsequent actions by changing the angle of the frame body rotating around the axis, so that the carbon fiber cloth maintains a constant tension. After being flattened and stabilized, the carbon fiber cloth is smoothly and uniformly pulled by the left feed traction roller 240 and continuously fed to the subsequent chasing and cutting device 300 without interruption.
[0100] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the tracking and slitting device 300 is slidably mounted on the frame 100, including a guide rail 310, a synchronous belt drive module 320, and a slitting mechanism 330. The guide rail 310 is mounted on both sides of the frame 100 parallel to the carbon fiber cloth conveying direction. The synchronous belt drive module 320 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the guide rail 310. The servo motor 321 of the synchronous belt drive module 320 is connected to the synchronous pulley 322. The first synchronous belt 323 is fixedly connected to the first synchronous belt pressure plate 331a on the outside of the support slide plate group 331. The servo motor 321 drives the first synchronous belt 323 to rotate, which drives the slitting mechanism 330 to reciprocate along the guide rail 310. During cutting, the slitting mechanism 330 moves at the same speed and in the same direction as the carbon fiber cloth to achieve tracking and slitting. After cutting, it quickly moves in the opposite direction to reset.
[0101] Inside the slitting mechanism 330, along the carbon fiber cloth conveying direction, there are sequentially arranged a left feed roller group 332, an inclined negative pressure base plate 333, a slitting integrated module 335, and a right discharge roller group 336. The left feed roller group 332, the negative pressure base plate 333, and the right discharge roller group 336 are arranged in a stepped height difference, with the left feed roller group 332 having the highest installation height. The negative pressure base plate 333 is inclined to match the height difference of the roller groups. Under the action of gravity and the traction of the roller groups, the carbon fiber cloth slides naturally and smoothly along the negative pressure base plate 333, avoiding suspension and deformation.
[0102] The negative pressure base plate 333 has a negative pressure chamber connected to an external vacuum source. The supporting surface is evenly distributed with negative pressure adsorption holes. A non-negative pressure isolation strip 333a is provided on the supporting surface along the transverse cutting path. The negative pressure base plate 333 is activated instantaneously before cutting. The carbon fiber cloth is firmly adsorbed without deformation through the negative pressure adsorption holes. The non-negative pressure isolation strip 333a avoids local deformation of the cloth in the cutting area due to negative pressure adsorption, and at the same time prevents aerodynamic interference between the vacuum adsorption airflow and the static ion wind.
[0103] The guide rail 334d of the synchronous belt drive mechanism 334 is horizontally mounted on the support slide plate assembly 331 perpendicular to the carbon fiber cloth conveying direction. The synchronous belt pulley assembly 334b at the first and second ends of the guide rail 334d is connected to the independently controlled motor 334a. The second synchronous belt 334c is fixedly connected to the second synchronous belt pressure plate 335b on the slitting module frame 335a of the slitting integration module 335. The motor 334a drives the second synchronous belt 334c to rotate, thereby driving the slitting integration module 335 to move laterally along the guide rail 334d.
[0104] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, inside the slitting module frame 335a of the slitting integration module 335, along the transverse cutting direction, a first visual inspection component 335c, an anti-static ion fan 335d, a fine-tuning cutting component 335e, a dust-collecting edge-separating component 335f, and a second visual inspection component 335g are sequentially integrated. The first visual inspection component 335c includes an industrial camera and a coaxial light source, which is used to extract the visual texture features of the carbon fiber cloth before slitting.
[0105] The static ion fan 335d is located behind the first vision detection component 335c. Its air outlet is vertically downward and faces the non-negative pressure isolation belt 333a. It blows out ion wind downward to neutralize the static electricity on the surface of the carbon fiber cloth and does not interfere with the negative pressure adsorption airflow.
[0106] The fine-tuning cutting assembly 335e adjusts the Z-axis position of the slitting circular blade via the upper push rod. When resetting, the push rod retracts and lifts the blade. When cutting, the push rod presses down to send the blade to the working elevation. The slitting circular blade is connected to the ball screw and is driven by an independent motor that receives action signals.
[0107] The dust-collecting edge-separating component 335f is located behind the fine-tuning cutting component 335e. It includes an inverted triangular edge-separating wedge and a vacuum suction port. During cutting, the edge-separating wedge is inserted into the kerf to lift the cut edges on both sides of the carbon fiber cloth. The vacuum suction port simultaneously sucks up the free carbon fiber dust that has been neutralized by static electricity. The second vision inspection component 335g includes an industrial camera and a coaxial light source. It is located at the rear end of the slitting module frame 335a. It collects and extracts the kerf image features after dust removal for subsequent cutting quality assessment.
[0108] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the adaptive follow-up coating mechanism 400 includes a follow-up coating roller 410, a discharge transition plate 411, and a constant force lower coating unwinding machine 420. The follow-up coating roller 410 is installed parallel to the discharge port of the right discharge roller group 336 between the support slide plate group 331. It is a passively driven free-moving roller. The discharge transition plate 411 is arranged parallel between the follow-up coating roller 410 and the right discharge roller group 336, smoothly guiding the slit carbon fiber cloth to the follow-up coating roller 410. The constant force lower coating unwinding machine 420 is installed in the space below the frame 100 and has a built-in constant force output component to output the lower coating smoothly with constant tension, ensuring that the coating film surface does not accumulate, loosen, or wrinkle. The follow-up coating roller 410 moves synchronously with the follow-up shearing and slitting device 300, only changing the laying area of the lower coating on the support surface, without changing the conveying state of the coating. The movement speed of the lower coating is controlled by the end composite traction and packaging discharge mechanism 500.
[0109] like Figure 8 As shown, the composite traction and packaging discharge mechanism 500 is installed at the end of the frame 100 along the conveying direction. It includes a composite traction pressure roller group 510 and a packaging hot pressing module 520. The composite traction pressure roller group 510 consists of an upper pressure roller and a lower active roller arranged parallel to the follower film coating roller 410. The upper film is rolled into the gap of the roller group from top to bottom from the left tangent direction of the upper pressure roller, and the three layers of materials, namely the upper film, carbon fiber cloth and lower film, are pressed and output synchronously.
[0110] During the slitting and cutting stage, the composite traction pressure roller group 510 keeps pace with the feeding speed of the carbon fiber cloth. When the tail end of the slit carbon fiber cloth is completely separated from the clamping gap of the right discharge roller group 336, the composite traction pressure roller group 510 accelerates from the base speed to the set pulling speed, quickly pulling the film to form a physical gap between adjacent carbon fiber cloths. After the gap is formed, the original conveying speed is restored.
[0111] The hot-pressing module 520 is arranged in sequence along the conveying direction as a transverse roller hot-pressing module 521, a second tension frame 522, and a longitudinal hot-pressing roller group 523. The transverse roller hot-pressing module 521 is installed perpendicular to the conveying direction and includes a rotating heat-sealing roller 521a and a first bottom pressure roller 521b. The surface of the rotating heat-sealing roller 521a is provided with a raised heat-sealing strip. Pressing down completes the transverse heat sealing of the gap area. The second tension frame 522 adaptively buffers the tension difference generated by the pulling action, so that the material enters the longitudinal hot-pressing roller group 523 at a uniform speed. The longitudinal hot-pressing roller group 523 includes a second bottom pressure roller 523a and a symmetrically arranged heat-sealing roller group 523b, which continuously heat-presses and seals the edges of the film on both sides, completing the independent isolation and sealing of a single section of carbon fiber cloth.
[0112] During equipment operation, the carbon fiber cloth is smoothly conveyed by the continuously unwinding and feeding mechanism 200 after being spread and pressed. It is then smoothly transported along the stepped roller group and the negative pressure base plate 333. The tracking and cutting device 300 tracks and cuts the carbon fiber cloth at the same speed. The first vision detection component 335c extracts image features in real time and drives the fine-tuning cutting component 335e to cut. The static ion fan 335d and the dust suction and edge separation component 335f work synchronously to eliminate static electricity and suck up dust. After cutting, the tracking and cutting device 300 quickly resets. The adaptive follow-up film coating mechanism 400's follow-up film coating roller 410 passively follows and receives the carbon fiber cloth. The constant force film coating unwinding machine 420 applies film under constant tension. The composite traction pressure roller group 510 presses the three layers of material together and then differentially pulls the gap apart. The sealing and hot-pressing module 520 sequentially completes the transverse and longitudinal heat sealing, outputting the independently sealed carbon fiber cloth finished product.
[0113] Combination Figure 10 The equipment incorporates a multi-physical quantity collaborative adaptive tuning method for cutting carbon fiber fabric based on the near-end strategy optimization algorithm (PPO). The execution steps are as follows:

[0126] like Preset thresholds, calculate the dominance function GAE and proximal cutoff loss. Update the policy network parameters if If the preset threshold is not met and the reward coefficient does not reach the target value, calculate the average score of each reward and dynamically adjust the reward coefficient. If all reward coefficients reach the target value, save the strategy network parameters and end the adaptive tuning.

[0129] in, This is the updated error sensitivity coefficient. This represents the current error sensitivity coefficient. Based on the step size factor, For the maximum stringency value, Based on the value, This represents the average reward for each item in the current cycle's trajectory fit. The update step size is set as the overall average reward value for the current period. When the performance of a single reward is better than the overall level, the update step size is increased; when it is worse than the overall level, the update step size is decreased. This achieves dynamic optimization that is first broad and then strict, and can adapt to the cutting process of different carbon fiber cloth materials without manual parameter tuning.
