[0002] The coating equipment can produce product materials of different specifications, and the tension control of the material is a key factor in the coating process. In order to meet the needs of different specifications of products, the equipment needs to be able to accurately set according to the width, thickness and tension of the required material and other parameters, for example, for thinner or wider substrates, the equipment can adjust the tension control system to ensure that the material maintains uniform tension during the production process, avoiding problems such as wrinkling or deformation.

[0003] In the design of the coating machine, the vacuum adsorption roller is a key component that pulls and controls the tension of the substrate through vacuum adsorption force. The use of vacuum adsorption roller can further improve the stability of the whole machine tension. In some existing coating machine designs, the operation mode of the vacuum adsorption roller may be fixed, that is, it is always enabled or completely disabled, which limits its flexibility under different coating requirements.

[0034] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a coating machine with an online switching mechanism for the vacuum adsorption roller includes a frame 1 and wall panels 21 disposed on both sides of the frame 1. The vacuum adsorption roller consists of a main roller 42 fixed relative to the wall panel 21 and an outer roller 41 rotatable around the main roller 42. The main roller 42 has a hollow structure, with an axial air supply pipe 421 fixedly installed at one end, communicating with the hollow interior of the main roller 42. The axial air supply pipe 421 passes through the wall panel 21 and is connected to a vacuum pump 43. A suction roller fixing flange 422 and a suction roller locking ring 423 are fixedly installed on the wall panel 21 to fix the axial air supply pipe 421 to the wall panel 21, thereby fixing the main roller 42 relative to the wall panel 21. The end of the main roller 42 away from the axial air supply pipe 421 is sealed by a sealing plug 424.

[0036] A drive motor 44 is fixedly mounted on one of the wall panels 21 of the frame 1. The drive motor 44 drives the outer roller 41 to rotate via a suction roller drive shaft 45. Specifically, the output end of the drive motor is connected to the suction roller drive shaft 45 via a reducer and a coupling. The outer circumference of the end of the suction roller drive shaft 45 near the main roller 42 is fixedly connected to the corresponding end of the outer roller 41. The inner circumference of this end of the suction roller drive shaft 45 is rotatably connected to the main roller 42 via a bearing 412 mounted on the outer circumference of a sealing plug 424. The end of the outer roller 41 near the axial air supply pipe 421 is sealed by a shaft end sleeve 411, and the end of the outer roller 41 away from the axial air supply pipe 421 is sealed by the suction roller drive shaft 45. The suction roller drive shaft 45 is connected to the shaft of the drive motor 44 and is rotatably connected within the wall panel 21 by means of the bearing 414.

[0037] likeFigures 4-6 As shown, two partitions 425 are assembled on the outer circumferential surface of the main roller 42, each of which is arranged along the axial direction of the main roller 42 and has the same length as the main roller 42, and the two partitions 425 are arranged in a radial direction of the main roller 42. One side of each of the two partitions 425 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main roller 42 (which can be achieved by fasteners), and the other end of each of the two partitions 425 abuts against the inner wall of the outer roller barrel 41. The gap between the inner circumferential surface of the outer roller barrel 41 and the radially outer end of the partition 425 is at least substantially airtight. A negative pressure cavity 427 is enclosed between the two partitions 425 and the outer circumferential wall of the main roller 42 and the inner circumferential wall of the outer roller barrel 41, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, an annular wall 426 is fixed to the two ends of the main roller 42, which encloses the negative pressure cavity 427 on both axial end sides. The gap between the inner circumferential surface of the outer roller barrel 41 and the outer circumferential surface of the annular wall 426 is at least substantially airtight. A plurality of through holes 428 are arranged on the circumferential wall of the main roller 42 in the axial direction of the main roller 42, which are in communication with the hollow portion inside the main roller 42. A plurality of air holes 413 are arranged on the circumferential wall of the outer roller barrel 41, which are arranged in the form of a circular ring concentric with the radial cross section of the main shaft, and the circularly arranged air holes can be one ring or multiple rings arranged at intervals. In this embodiment, three rings are arranged.

[0038] The working principle of the vacuum suction roller 4 is as follows: the vacuum suction pump 43 is started, the hollow portion inside the main roller 42 is brought to a negative pressure through the axial gas conveying pipe 421, and then the negative pressure cavity 427 corresponding to the through holes 428 on the main roller 42 is brought to a negative pressure, so that the air holes 413 on the main roller 42 corresponding to the negative pressure cavity 427 are brought to a suction force, which can suck the film material in contact with or near the vacuum suction roller 4 to the surface of the roller. Since the driving motor 44 drives the outer roller barrel 41 to rotate, the air holes 413 arranged in a ring on the outer roller barrel 41 are always in correspondence with the negative pressure cavity 427, so the surface of the outer roller barrel 41 always has a suction force.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , 7, 8, a group of guide rails 24 are fixed to the inner wall of each inner side wall panel 21, the two groups of guide rails 24 are arranged in correspondence, and each group of guide rails 24 includes two straight guide rails 24 arranged in a vertical direction and at intervals.

[0040] The adsorption roller on-line switching mechanism comprises a cylinder body 51 fixed on the inner side of the wall plate 21 and a push rod 52 fixedly connected to the cylinder output shaft and parallel to the guide rail 24, the push rod 52 is fixedly connected with a sliding block 53, the sliding block 53 is slidably connected with the guide rail 24, the top of the sliding block 53 is fixedly connected with a sliding block seat 54, the top of the sliding block seat 54 is fixedly connected with a guide roller support 55, and both ends of the transition roller 56 are rotatably connected to the two guide roller supports 55.

[0041] The implementation principle of the utility model is:

[0042] When the vacuum adsorption roller 4 needs to work, the cylinder in the adsorption roller on-line switching mechanism drives the transition roller 56 to descend, so that the highest part of the roller surface of the transition roller 56 is lower than the highest part of the roller surface of the vacuum adsorption roller 4, the base material directly contacts the vacuum adsorption roller 4, the base material covers the air holes 413 of the negative pressure adsorption area, the base material cooperates with the negative pressure cavity 427 to form the negative pressure adsorption area, and the base material is closely attached to the surface of the vacuum adsorption roller 4, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0043] When the vacuum adsorption roller 4 is not used, the cylinder in the adsorption roller on-line switching mechanism lifts the transition roller 56 to the highest part of the roller surface of the transition roller 56, so that the included angle of the base material surrounded by the vacuum adsorption roller 4 tends to 0°, and the base material is separated from the vacuum adsorption roller 4 and is conveyed by the transition roller 56.

[0044] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used for limiting the utility model, it should be indicated that, for ordinary skilled person in the art, on the premise of not departing from the technical principle of the utility model, a plurality of improvements and modifications can be made, and the improvements and modifications should be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
