Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automated processing equipment, and in particular relates to a roll-to-roll pressing machine. Background Art

[0002] A laminator is a machine that transmits pressure to a pressing plate through a power system, causing the pressing plate to move downward, thereby combining multiple raw materials together or squeezing the raw materials into a specific shape. In common flexible circuit board structures, a laminator is mainly used to press multiple raw material layers such as a soft copper clad layer and a covering film into a single body. In conventional flexible circuit board production processes, each raw material layer is generally cut to a specific size in advance, and then stacked into a pressing plate by a loading and unloading mechanism or manually, so that the power system drives the pressing plate to press these raw material layers into a semi-finished product or finished product. Finally, the semi-finished product or finished product is taken out of the pressing plate by a loading and unloading mechanism or manually and collected and stored. As a result, the steps are cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a roll-to-roll pressing machine to solve the technical problems described in the background technology.

[0004] The roll-to-roll laminating machine comprises a discharging station, a laminating station and a winding station, wherein the discharging station is connected to at least two discharging reels by a bearing, and raw materials are wound on the discharging reels, and the laminating station is equipped with a laminating power module, and the laminating power module drives two pressing plates that are close to or open to each other, and the winding station is connected to a winding reel by a bearing, and the raw materials pass through the two pressing plates and are fixed on the winding reel;

[0005] The winding station is provided with a winding motor, and the winding motor is used to drive the winding disc to pull the raw material;

[0006] The laminating station is equipped with a light source emitter and a photoreceptor, and a light-transmitting dividing strip is provided on the raw material. The light source emitter is used to emit light that passes through the light-transmitting dividing strip and illuminates the photoreceptor, so that the photoreceptor can judge whether the raw materials pulled out from different unwinding reels are aligned between the two pressing plates by whether the light is blocked.

[0007] According to the technical solution, the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0008] 1. Since the raw material passes through the two pressing plates and is fixed on the reel after being pulled out from the unwinding reel, the pressing power module drives the two pressing plates to move closer to each other to press the raw material into a semi-finished product or a finished product, and the reel can immediately reel up and store the semi-finished product or the finished product. At this time, the raw material in another part is also synchronously pulled out from the unwinding reel to the two pressing plates for pressing; therefore, compared with the conventional flexible circuit board pressing process, synchronous feeding and unloading of materials is achieved in a single pressing station to simplify the processing steps and improve the processing efficiency.

[0009] 2. After the pressing plate presses the raw materials into semi-finished products or finished products, the winding motor can be used to drive the winding disk to rotate, so that the winding disk can wind up the semi-finished products or finished products on the pressing plate and pull another part of the raw materials into the pressing plate, thereby further improving the processing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0010] 3. The raw materials are separated into specific sizes through light-transmitting dividing strips, so that the pressing plate can press out semi-finished products or finished products of specific sizes, which is convenient for later production and processing separation;

[0011] 4. Whether the raw materials pulled out from each unwinding reel are aligned can be judged by whether the photoreceptor senses light, so as to assist in accurately adjusting the raw materials pulled out from each unwinding reel, so that the pressing plate can accurately and stably press the raw materials.

[0012] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, it can be optionally combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0013] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting partition strips are provided with colors, and the colors of the light-transmitting partition strips on one material are different from the colors of the light-transmitting partition strips on the material, so that different colors change when the light passes through different light-transmitting partition strips at the same time;

[0014] According to the technical solution, since the colors of the light-transmitting dividing strips of the raw materials pulled out from each unwinding reel are different from each other, and these light-transmitting dividing strips will also change colors when stacked together, therefore, when at least three unwinding reels are connected to the unwinding station bearing, the photoreceptor can be used to identify when the light is in different colors, and independently determine whether the raw materials pulled out from each unwinding reel are aligned.

[0015] In some embodiments, the unwinding station is equipped with a brake for reducing the rotation speed of the unwinding reel;

[0016] According to the technical solution, when it is determined that the raw materials pulled out from each unwinding reel are in a misaligned state, the rotation speed of a certain unwinding reel can be reduced by a brake, so that the raw materials pulled out from each unwinding reel are aligned.

[0017] In some embodiments, a colorless light-transmitting avoidance strip is provided on the side of the raw material, one end of the light-transmitting separation strip is colored to the colorless light-transmitting avoidance strip, and the light passes through the light-transmitting separation strip located on the light-transmitting separation strip and irradiates onto the photoreceptor;

[0018] According to the technical solution, it is avoided that the raw material blocks the light from irradiating to the photoreceptor, thereby making it impossible to accurately judge whether the raw materials pulled out from each unwinding reel are aligned.

[0019] In some embodiments, a heating element and a cooling pipeline are installed on the pressing plate;

[0020] According to the technical solution, during the pressing of the raw materials, the raw materials are rapidly cooled and heated by the heating element and the cooling pipeline, thereby reducing the pressing cycle and further improving the pressing efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model clearer, an explanation is given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a roll-to-roll laminating machine, which includes a roll-out station 1, a laminating station 2 and a roll-up station 3.

[0030] The unwinding station 1 is bearing-connected with two unwinding reels 11 , on which the raw material 4 is wound.

[0031] The pressing station 2 is equipped with a pressing power module 21, which drives two pressing plates 22 that are close to or open to each other. A heating element 221 and a cooling pipeline 222 are installed on the pressing plate 22.

[0032] The winding station 3 is bearing-connected with a winding reel 31 , and a winding motor is installed on the winding station 3 . After the raw material 4 is pulled out from the unwinding reel 11 , it passes between the two pressure plates 22 and is fixed on the winding reel 31 . The winding motor is used to drive the winding reel 31 to pull the raw material 4 .

[0033] The following is the working process of a roll-to-roll laminating machine described in this embodiment:

[0034] After the raw material 4 is pulled out from the unwinding reel 11, it passes through the two pressing plates 22 and is fixed on the winding reel 31; thereafter, the pressing power module 21 drives the two pressing plates 22 to move closer to each other to press the raw material 4 into a semi-finished product or a finished product. During the pressing process of the pressing plate 22 pressing the raw material 4, the heating element 221 heats the raw material 4 until the raw material 4 is pressed into the semi-finished product or the finished product, and the cooling pipeline 222 cools the semi-finished product or the product; thereafter, the pressing power module 21 drives the two pressing plates 22 to open each other; thereafter, the winding motor drives the winding reel 31 to immediately wind up and store the semi-finished product or the finished product. At this time, the raw material 4 at another part is also synchronously pulled out from the unwinding reel 11 to the two pressing plates 22 of the two phases for the next pressing. Example

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a roll-to-roll laminating machine, which includes a roll-out station 1, a laminating station 2 and a roll-up station 3.

[0036] The unwinding station 1 is connected to two unwinding reels 11 by bearings, and the unwinding reels 11 are rolled with raw materials 4, and the raw materials 4 are provided with light-transmitting separators 41, which are used to separate the raw materials 4 into several independent portions. Furthermore, when the raw materials 4 are several sheets, the several raw materials 4 can be connected into a long strip through the light-transmitting separators 41.

[0037] The laminating station 2 is equipped with a laminating power module 21, a light source emitter 23, a photoreceptor 24 and a brake 12; the laminating power module 21 drives two pressing plates 22 that are close to or open to each other, and a heating element 221 and a cooling pipeline 222 are installed on the pressing plate 22; the light source emitter 23 is used to emit light 25 that passes through the light-transmitting partition strip 41 and irradiates the light 25 on the photoreceptor 24; the brake 12 is used to reduce the rotation speed of the unwinding reel 11.

[0038] The winding station 3 is connected to a winding reel 31 by a bearing, and a winding motor is installed on the winding station 3. After being pulled out from the unwinding reel 11, the raw material 4 passes between the two pressing plates 22 and is fixed on the winding reel 31. Before passing between the two pressing plates 22, the raw material 4 also passes between the light source emitter 23 and the photoreceptor 24. The winding motor is used to drive the winding reel 31 to pull the raw material 4.

[0039] The following is a working description of a roll-to-roll laminating machine described in this embodiment.

[0040] After the raw material 4 is pulled out from the unwinding reel 11, it passes through the two pressing plates 22 and is fixed on the winding reel 31; thereafter, the pressing power module 21 drives the two pressing plates 22 to move closer to each other to press the raw material 4 into a semi-finished product or a finished product. During the pressing process of the pressing plate 22 pressing the raw material 4, the heating element 221 heats the raw material 4 until the raw material 4 is pressed into the semi-finished product or the finished product, and the cooling pipeline 222 cools the semi-finished product or the product; thereafter, the pressing power module 21 drives the two pressing plates 22 to open each other; thereafter, the winding motor drives the winding reel 31 to immediately wind up and store the semi-finished product or the finished product. At this time, the raw material 4 at another part is also synchronously pulled out from the unwinding reel 11 to the two pressing plates 22 of the two phases for the next pressing.

[0041] When the raw material 4 enters between the two pressure plates 22, the photoreceptor 24 senses the light 25 to determine whether the raw materials 4 pulled out from each unwinding reel 11 are aligned. If the light 25 is blocked, it is determined that the raw materials 4 pulled out from each unwinding reel 11 are not aligned between the two pressure plates 22. At this time, while the winding motor drives the winding reel 31, the brake 12 reduces the rotation speed of a certain unwinding reel 11 to align the raw materials 4 pulled out from each unwinding reel 11; if the light 25 is irradiated to the photoreceptor 24, it is determined that the raw materials 4 pulled out from each unwinding reel 11 are aligned between the two pressure plates 22. Example

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a roll-to-roll laminating machine, which includes a roll-out station 1, a laminating station 2 and a roll-up station 3.

[0043] The unwinding station 1 is bearing-connected with more than three unwinding reels 11, on which the raw material 4 is wound, and the raw material 4 is provided with a light-transmitting dividing strip 41, which is used to separate the raw material 4 into several independent portions, and the light-transmitting dividing strip 41 is provided with a color, and the color of the light-transmitting dividing strip 41 on one raw material 4 is different from the color of the light-transmitting dividing strip 41 on the raw material 4, and a colorless light-transmitting avoidance strip 42 is provided on the side of the raw material 4, and one end of the light-transmitting dividing strip 41 is colored to the colorless light-transmitting avoidance strip 42. Furthermore, when the raw material 4 is a plurality of sheets, the light-transmitting dividing strip 41 can be used to connect the plurality of raw materials 4 into a long strip, or the light-transmitting dividing strip 41 and the colorless light-transmitting avoidance strip 42 can be connected as a whole to support the raw material 4.

[0044] The laminating station 2 is equipped with a laminating power module 21, a light source emitter 23, a photoreceptor 24 and a brake 12; the laminating power module 21 drives two pressing plates 22 that are close to or open to each other, and a heating element 221 and a cooling pipeline 222 are installed on the pressing plate 22; the light source emitter 23 is used to emit light 25 that passes through a light-transmitting dividing strip 41 to illuminate the light 25 on the photoreceptor 24, and the light 25 passes through a light-transmitting dividing strip 41 located on the light-transmitting dividing strip 41 to illuminate the photoreceptor 24; the brake 12 is used to reduce the rotation speed of the unwinding reel 11 or the resistance value of the unwinding reel 11 to rotate.

[0045] The winding station 3 is connected to a winding reel 31 by a bearing, and a winding motor is installed on the winding station 3. After being pulled out from the unwinding reel 11, the raw material 4 passes between the two pressing plates 22 and is fixed on the winding reel 31. Before passing between the two pressing plates 22, the raw material 4 also passes between the light source emitter 23 and the photoreceptor 24. The winding motor is used to drive the winding reel 31 to pull the raw material 4.

[0046] The following is a working description of a roll-to-roll laminating machine described in this embodiment.

[0047] After the raw material 4 is pulled out from the unwinding reel 11, it passes through the two pressing plates 22 and is fixed on the winding reel 31; thereafter, the pressing power module 21 drives the two pressing plates 22 to move closer to each other to press the raw material 4 into a semi-finished product or a finished product. During the pressing process of the pressing plate 22 pressing the raw material 4, the heating element 221 heats the raw material 4 until the raw material 4 is pressed into the semi-finished product or the finished product, and the cooling pipeline 222 cools the semi-finished product or the product; thereafter, the pressing power module 21 drives the two pressing plates 22 to open each other; thereafter, the winding motor drives the winding reel 31 to immediately wind up and store the semi-finished product or the finished product. At this time, the raw material 4 at another part is also synchronously pulled out from the unwinding reel 11 to the two pressing plates 22 of the two phases for the next pressing.

[0048] When the raw material 4 enters between the two pressure plates 22, the photoreceptor 24 senses the color of the light 25 to determine whether the raw materials 4 pulled out from each unwinding reel 11 are aligned. If the light 25 is in a certain color, it can be determined that one or more raw materials 4 pulled out from the unwinding reel 11 are not aligned between the two pressure plates 22, or that the raw materials 4 pulled out from each unwinding reel 11 are aligned between the two pressure plates 22; when one or more raw materials 4 pulled out from the unwinding reel 11 are not aligned between the two pressure plates 22, while the winding motor drives the winding reel 31, the brake 12 reduces the rotation speed of a certain unwinding reel 11 to align the raw materials 4 pulled out from each unwinding reel 11.
