TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coating machine, specifically, relate to a coating doctor blade. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gravure coating is a commonly used high-precision coating method, widely used in printing, packaging, electronics, medical and other fields. Gravure coating transfers paint to the substrate through a cylinder engraved with patterns (gravure cylinder), with uniform coating, fine pattern and other characteristics. Among them, the doctor blade device is one of the key components in gravure coating, used to control the thickness and quality of the coating. The surface of the gravure cylinder is engraved with tiny pits (called cells), which are used to store paint. The paint is delivered to the surface of the gravure cylinder by pump and pipeline. The doctor blade is installed on one side of the gravure cylinder, used to scrape off the excess paint, leaving only the paint in the pits. When the substrate passes through the gravure cylinder, the paint in the pits is transferred to the substrate, forming a coating.
[0003] The doctor blade is usually made of hard material (such as ceramic, tungsten carbide, etc.), with high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The doctor blade holder is used to fix and adjust the position and angle of the doctor blade. The pressure adjusting system adjusts the pressure of the doctor blade on the gravure cylinder through air cylinder or spring mechanism, to control the thickness of the coating. By adjusting the pressure and angle of the doctor blade, the thickness of the coating can be accurately controlled, ensuring the uniformity of the coating. The doctor blade can effectively remove the excess paint on the surface of the gravure cylinder, preventing the coating from being too thick or uneven. The doctor blade device can reduce defects such as bubbles and stripes, improving the quality and appearance of the coating.
[0004] Long-term use will cause the doctor blade to wear out, affecting the uniformity and quality of the coating. Therefore, the doctor blade needs to be checked and replaced regularly. The pressure of the doctor blade on the gravure cylinder needs to be accurately controlled, excessive pressure will damage the gravure cylinder, and insufficient pressure will cause uneven coating.
[0005] Therefore, as disclosed in patent CN106626726A, a new gravure printing coating device is proposed, which realizes the adjustment of the fitting pressure of the upper doctor blade and the gravure roller, and realizes the ink coating technology above millimeter thickness, with high coating precision, uniform thickness and smooth surface without scratches. However, the device adjusts the pressure of the doctor blade through the spring, when the groove of the gravure rotates to the doctor blade, the doctor blade is easily stretched into the groove due to the elastic expansion of the spring, causing damage to the gravure roller and the doctor blade. SUMMARY
[0006] The utility model aims at providing a coating doctor blade to solve the technical problem that the existing doctor blade is easy to cause damage to the doctor blade and the gravure roller when adjusting the length pressure type.

The surface of the gravure roll can be better adapted, the unevenness of the coating can be reduced, and the flatness of the coating can be improved. The upper doctor blade can be finely adjusted through the rotating part, and the reset spring ensures that the upper doctor blade always maintains the best contact with the gravure roll, thereby reducing the generation of bubbles and stripes.
