[0018] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a device for realizing automatic coating by monitoring the foil shape includes a data line 503 and a computer, a fixed frame 504 is arranged above the foil 511, a slide rail 510 and a slider 508 are arranged on the fixed frame 504, two laser displacement sensors 501 and two air blowing devices 502 are arranged on the side of the slider 508, and a positioning pin 509 capable of positioning the slider is arranged above the slider 508. An L-shaped bracket 507 is arranged on the side of the slider 508, and the laser displacement sensor 501 is located above the horizontal plate of the L-shaped bracket 507. The point blown by the air blowing device 502 on the foil 511 is consistent with the position of the detection point of the laser displacement sensor 501. The laser displacement sensor 501 is 40 mm away from the edge of the foil 511, and the air blowing device 502 includes an air blowing pipe 506, an air pressure regulating valve 505 and an air source. The inner diameter of the air blowing pipe is 2.5 mm. The angle between the air blowing direction of the air blowing device 502 and the vertical direction is 53°. The air pressure regulating valve 505 is arranged on the right side of the fixed bracket, and the air outlet pressure is set to 0.1 MPa.
[0019] The blowing point of the blowing device 502 is highly coincident with the laser detection point, the original coordinate of the laser detection is 25mm, and the data collected by the laser displacement sensor 501 is transmitted to the computer software through the data line 503. The computer is connected to the main operation interface of the coating machine, and real-time collection and real-time display are adopted. If the set upper limit is exceeded, the coating machine will display an alarm.
[0020] A positioning pin 509 is provided above the slider 508 to position the slider 508. The slider 508, the laser displacement sensor 501 and the blowing device 502 can be moved according to the width of the foil 511 to be coated. When the designated position is reached, the positioning pin 509 is used for positioning.
[0021] When in use, adjust the position of the slider 508 on the slide rail 510 according to the width of the foil 511 (the detection point of the laser displacement sensor 501 is 40mm away from the edge of the foil 511), and use the positioning pin 509 for positioning. Turn on the laser displacement sensor 501, make the blowing point of the blowing device 502 overlap with the laser detection point, and the laser detection original coordinate is 25mm. Connect the air pressure regulating valve 505, set the pressure to 0.1Mpa, and then turn on the blowing device 502 to blow the foil 511 to a stable state. Turn on the computer and open the software, and the coating machine is ready for work. Start coating, and the laser detection data is transmitted to the computer software in real time (collected once every 1s) through the data line 503. The deviation of the laser detection coordinate data is within the range of ±2, and the coating machine works normally; when the deviation reaches ±4, the coating machine operation interface alarms, the coating valve is closed, and the foil 511 works normally; when the deviation returns to ±2, the coating valve works normally.
[0022] Compared with judging the foil shape by human eyes, the utility model is more accurate and intuitive, has a short feedback time and greatly improves the work efficiency.
