[0033] Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the structure of the diaphragm tensioning device 2 in an embodiment of the utility model is shown. Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the tensioning mechanism 22 structure in the embodiment of the utility model is shown. The membrane tensioning device 2 is arranged in the slitting device, and the membrane tensioning device 2 comprises: a first transmission roller 23, a tensioning mechanism 22, a second transmission roller 24 and a traction assembly 26, wherein a membrane conveying path is formed between the first transmission roller 23, the tensioning mechanism 22 and the traction assembly 26, and a GDL film material conveying path is formed between the second transmission roller 24 and the traction assembly 26.

[0034] Specifically, the diaphragm tensioning device 2 is further provided with a first guide roller 21 and a second guide roller 25. The first guide roller 21 is located on the diaphragm conveying path. The first guide roller 21 is used for feeding and conveying the workpiece film material of the diaphragm tensioning device 2. The second guide roller 25 is located at the film material output end of the diaphragm tensioning device 2. The second guide roller 25 is used for discharging and conveying the workpiece film material of the diaphragm tensioning device 2. After passing through the first guide roller 21, the workpiece film material is split into a diaphragm and a GDL film material. The diaphragm enters the tensioning mechanism 22 after passing through the first transmission roller 23. The first transmission film is used to adjust the angle at which the diaphragm enters the tensioning mechanism 22, so that the tensioning mechanism 22 can accurately adjust the tension of the diaphragm.

[0035] Furthermore, the first drive roller 23, the second drive roller 24 and the first guide roller 21 are arranged in a staggered manner, and the first drive roller 23, the second drive roller 24 and the first guide roller 21 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The first drive roller 23, the second drive roller 24 and the second guide roller 25 are arranged in a staggered manner so as to separate the diaphragm and the GDL film material. Through the vertical staggered arrangement, the space occupied by the diaphragm tensioning mechanism 22 can be reduced, so that the overall size of the diaphragm tensioning mechanism 22 is compact, thereby improving the rationality of the spatial layout of the slitting equipment.

[0036] Furthermore, after the tensioning mechanism 22 has completed tensioning the diaphragm, the diaphragm can be transported to the traction assembly 26 , and the traction assembly 26 can re-cover the tensioned diaphragm and attach it to the GDL film material.

[0037] Specifically, after the workpiece film material passes through the first guide roller 21, the separated GDL film material passes through the second transmission roller 24 and then enters the traction assembly 26, and the traction assembly 26 includes: a traction roller 261 and a rubber pressure roller 262, and a preset gap is set between the traction roller 261 and the rubber pressure roller 262, and the GDL film material and the tensioned diaphragm are transported between the traction roller 261 and the rubber pressure roller 262, and the diaphragm and the GDL film material are rolled and pressed by the traction roller 261 and the rubber pressure roller 262, so as to complete the lamination operation of the tensioned diaphragm on the GDL film material.

[0038] Furthermore, after the traction component 26 completes the lamination of the workpiece film material, the workpiece film material passes through the second guide roller 25 and is input into the slitting component. The second guide roller 25 is used to support and adjust the conveying angle of the workpiece film material so that the slitting component can cut the workpiece film material into strips.

[0039] Specifically, the tensioning mechanism 22 includes: a driving cylinder 221, a tensioning roller 224 and a seat bearing 223. The driving cylinder 221 is fixed on the inner wall of the slitting device, the seat bearing 223 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slitting device, and the driving cylinder 221 drives and connects the seat bearing 223. Both ends of the tensioning roller 224 are connected to the seat bearing 223. The tensioning roller 224 is used to carry the diaphragm. When the driving cylinder 221 drives the seat bearing 223 to move up and down in the vertical direction, the tensioning roller 224 can move up and down in the vertical direction with the seat bearing 223. By driving the tensioning roller 224 to move in the vertical direction, the tensioning roller 224 can adjust the tensioning degree of the diaphragm, so that the diaphragm can be tightly attached to the GDL film material in the unfolded state, thereby avoiding the dislocation and wrinkling of the diaphragm when the workpiece film material is cut into strips.

[0040] Furthermore, the driving cylinder 221 is a low-friction cylinder, and a high-precision electrical proportional valve is provided at the output end of the driving cylinder 221. The low-friction cylinder controls its working state based on the high-precision electrical proportional valve, that is, the high-precision electrical proportional valve is used to provide a constant air pressure, so that the low-friction cylinder can maintain a stable state and the diaphragm can maintain a tensioned state.

[0041] Furthermore, the thrust of the driving cylinder 221 is adjusted by the high-precision electrical proportional valve, thereby achieving floating adjustment of the tensioning roller 224 in the vertical direction, thereby satisfying the tensioning force adjustment of the diaphragm.

[0042] Specifically, the tensioning mechanism 22 is also provided with a guide rail 222, and the guide rail 222 is fixed on the inner wall of the slitting device. The seat bearing 223 is slidably fitted on the guide rail 222 based on the slider. The guide rail 222 is used to limit the moving direction of the seat bearing 223, so that the seat bearing 223 can reciprocate along the guide rail 222 under the action of the driving cylinder 221.

[0043] Specifically, a pressure sensor can be provided on the tensioning roller 224, and the pressure sensor can be provided at the connection position between the tensioning roller 224 and the seat bearing 223. Based on the pressure sensor, the extrusion pressure of the diaphragm on the tensioning roller 224 can be detected in real time. A preset pressure value can be set according to actual equipment debugging. The preset pressure value is the pressure threshold for achieving diaphragm tensioning. The pressure sensor can be used to detect in real time whether the extrusion pressure of the diaphragm on the tensioning roller 224 reaches the preset pressure value. If the extrusion pressure is less than the preset pressure value, the thrust of the driving cylinder 221 can be increased by the high-precision electrical proportional valve, so that the tensioning roller 224 moves upward; when the extrusion pressure is greater than the preset pressure value, the thrust of the driving cylinder 221 can be reduced by the high-precision electrical proportional valve, so that the tensioning roller 224 can move downward, thereby achieving floating adjustment of the tensioning state of the diaphragm.

[0044] Specifically, the tensioning mechanism 22 also includes: a buffer 225, which is arranged below the belt seat bearing 223, and the working end of the buffer 225 is facing the bottom of the belt seat bearing 223. When the slitting equipment stops working, the driving cylinder 221 stops working, and the belt seat bearing 223 and the tensioning roller 224 will slide downward based on their own gravity and contact with the buffer 225. The buffer 225 is used to slow down the falling speed of the belt seat bearing 223 and the tensioning roller 224 to prevent the tensioning roller 224 and the belt seat bearing 223 from colliding with other components and making noise, and at the same time prevent the belt seat bearing 223 and the tensioning roller 224 from colliding with other components and being damaged, thereby improving the safety of the equipment.

[0045] The embodiment of the utility model provides a diaphragm tensioning device 2 and a stripping device. After the diaphragm and the GDL film material are separated, the diaphragm is tensioned by a tensioning roller 224 driven by a cylinder, and the tensioned diaphragm is re-coated on the GDL film material. This can avoid wrinkles and misalignment of the diaphragm during stripping, while reducing the tediousness of the stripping operation and improving the stripping processing efficiency.

[0046] In addition, the above is a detailed introduction to a diaphragm tensioning device and a stripping device provided in an embodiment of the utility model. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principle and implementation method of the utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the utility model and its core idea; at the same time, for general technical personnel in this field, according to the idea of ​​the utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
