The rolling mill is equipped with cutting modules, and the two cutting modules are located on both sides of the platform. Each cutting module includes two disc knives arranged one above the other. During operation, the gap between the two disc knives on the same side needs to be adjusted according to the thickness of the aluminum and aluminum alloy strips. The existing disc knife spacing adjustment mechanism is a mechanical structure and needs to be adjusted manually. Since the two cutting modules are distributed on the left and the right, manual adjustment needs to be made in steps, and there are errors in the adjustment, resulting in different gaps between the disc knives of the two cutting modules. It is necessary to manually calibrate the edge trimming width repeatedly with a steel tape measure. Manual edge trimming operations are not only unsafe and inefficient, but also become a safety and quality hazard in the rolling production process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figures 1-3As shown, an automatic adjustment device for a disc cutter comprises two cutting modules arranged opposite to each other, the cutting module comprising two disc cutters 1 and a disc cutter mounting frame 2, the disc cutter 1 being connected to a driving motor 3, the driving motor 3 being provided with a motor mounting seat, the driving motor 3 being provided with a PLC controller 4, the motor mounting seat being movably connected to the disc cutter mounting frame 2, the motor mounting seat comprising a first mounting seat 5 and a second mounting seat 6, the first mounting seat 5 being fixed to the disc cutter mounting frame 2, a servo ball screw 9 being provided between the first mounting seat 5 and the second mounting seat 6, the servo ball screw 9 comprising a servo motor 7, a slider 8, a screw 9, a slide rail 11 and a connecting seat 10, the connecting seat 10 being fixed to the first mounting seat 5, the slider 8 being meshed and connected to the screw 9, the slider 8 being slidably connected to the slide rail 11, the slider 8 being fixed to the second mounting seat 6, and the second mounting seat 6 being movably connected to the disc cutter mounting frame 2;
[0027] The lead screw 9 is provided with a code disk 12 , the output end of the code disk 12 is connected to the input end of the PLC controller 4 , the PLC controller 4 is electrically connected to the servo motor 7 , and the PLC controller 4 is communicatively connected to an HMI module 13 .
[0028] The first mounting seat 5 and the second mounting seat 6 are both square structures with a hollow interior and an open side. The driving motor 3 is fixedly installed inside the first mounting seat 5 and the second mounting seat 6 .
[0029] The disc cutter mounting frame 2 is a long strip plate, and a horseshoe-shaped long hole is opened on the disc cutter mounting frame 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 3 passes through the horseshoe-shaped long hole and is fixed to the disc cutter 1;
[0030] The side wall of the first mounting seat 5 is fixed to the side wall of the disc cutter mounting frame 2 .
[0031] The connecting seat 10 is a square structure with a hollow interior;
[0032] The output shaft of the servo motor 7 is connected to the screw 9 through a coupling. The screw 9 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat. The bearing seat, coupling and servo motor 7 are fixedly arranged inside the connecting seat 10. The connecting seat 10 is fixed to the slide rail 11. The slide rail 11 is slidably connected to the slider 8.
[0033] The other end of the lead screw 9 passes through the connecting seat 10 and is rotatably connected to the tail end of the slide rail 11 through a bearing.
[0034] A frequency converter 14 is connected between the PLC controller 4 and the drive motor 3 and the servo motor 7 . The plurality of drive motors 3 and servo motors 7 are connected to a power supply via the frequency converter 14 to form a loop.
[0035] In this embodiment, the HMI module 13 is connected to the PLC controller 4 via an RS232 serial port. The number of inverters 14 is five. The inverters 14 are connected to the PLC controller 4 for communication. A normally open contact of a relay is connected between the inverter 14 and the power supply ( Figure 3 KA1 to KA5 in the relays are connected to the output of PLC controller 4. For ease of understanding, the spacing between the disc cutters 1 is set to 2000 mm. Besides the mirrored configuration, the two cutting modules share the same mechanical structure, circuit architecture, and control method. The spacing between the disc cutters 1 in both cutting modules is adjusted synchronously. The following operation process only uses one cutting module for illustration.
[0036] During operation, a spacing setting value of 2000 mm is input through the HMI module 13. After receiving the command, the PLC controller 4 drives the servo motor 7 via the frequency converter 14. The servo motor 7 rotates in the forward direction, driving the screw 9. The screw 9 is meshed with the slider 8. When the screw 9 rotates, the slider 8 moves linearly within the slide rail 11. The slider 8 drives the second mounting seat 6 to move. The disc cutter 1 connected to the drive motor 3 in the second mounting seat 6 moves along the horseshoe-shaped slot of the disc cutter mounting frame 2. Because the first mounting seat 5 is fixed to the disc cutter mounting frame 2, the spacing between the two disc cutters 1 changes.
[0037] During this process, encoder 12 continuously detects the number of revolutions of screw 9. PLC controller 4 receives the detection signal and calculates the displacement of slider 8. Since the initial position of slider 8 is fixed and the initial spacing of disc cutters 1 is fixed, PLC controller 4 controls servo motor 7 to stop when the spacing of disc cutters 1 reaches 2000mm. The upper disc cutter 1 does not need to bear weight, and the structure of the oblique meshing of screw 9 and slide rail 11 achieves self-locking. When servo motor 7 is stopped, slider 8 is in a fixed state.
[0038] During the trimming operation, the PLC controller 4 controls the drive motor 3 via the frequency converter 14 .
[0039] After the trimming operation is completed, the PLC controller 4 flips the servo motor 7 through the frequency converter 14, and the disc cutter 1 starts to reset. During this process, the code disk 12 continuously detects the number of revolutions of the screw rod 9. The PLC controller 4 receives the detection signal and calculates the displacement of the slider 8 until the slider 8 is in the initial position. The disc cutter 1 resets and waits for the next operation.
[0040] The embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made based on the structure, features and principles described in the patent scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
