DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The utility model will be explained further in detail now in combination with the drawings and embodiment, these drawings are all simplified schematic diagram, only with schematic way shows the basic structure of the utility model, therefore it shows only the constitution related with the utility model.
[0026] Embodiment one
[0027] As Figure 1 Shown, a kind of foil slitting machine is used to slitting mechanism, including knife groove roller 1, knife shaft 2 and the cutting assembly of being set on knife shaft 2;Knife shaft 2 is located at one side of knife groove roller 1, and can rotate around its axis, to drive cutting assembly to carry out slitting to copper foil and so on foil material passing between knife groove roller 1 and knife shaft 2;Cutting assembly is installed on knife shaft 2 and can move along its axial direction, and a plurality of cutting assemblies can be set on a knife shaft 2 as needed, to slit foil into the width and number required.
[0028] Above-mentioned, one end of knife shaft 2 is provided with speed reducer 203, the output end of speed reducer 203 is connected with transmission shaft 204, and one end of transmission shaft 204 is connected with knife shaft 2.
[0029] Under the driving of external motor, after deceleration by speed reducer 203, knife shaft 2 is rotated by transmission shaft 204, so that cutting assembly swings to appropriate position, to facilitate the slitting of foil;Under the action of speed reducer 203, the high speed, low torque of external motor can be converted into the low speed, high torque required by knife shaft 2.
[0030] Two ends of the cutter shaft 2 are also respectively provided with a connecting head 201 and a fixing base 202. The connecting head 201 can be used to connect the cutter shaft 2 with the rack of the slitting machine. The fixing base 202 is sleeved outside the transmission shaft 204 to provide support for the transmission shaft 204 and ensure stable transmission of the output power of the speed reducer 203.
[0031] As shown in Figures 2-3 The cutting assembly comprises a mounting base 3 connected with the cutter shaft 2. The mounting base 3 is rotatably provided with a cutter seat 4. The cutter seat 4 is provided with a cutting knife 5. The side of the mounting base 3 opposite to the cutting knife 5 is provided with a driving motor 7 for driving the cutter seat 4 to rotate.
[0032] Under the support of the mounting base 3, the driving motor 7 drives the cutter seat 4 to rotate, and the cutter seat 4 drives the cutting knife 5 to rotate, thereby cutting the copper foil passing between the cutter shaft 2 and the grooved roller 1 under the driving of the cutter shaft 2.
[0033] The cutter seat 4 can be used for the installation of the cutting knife 5 and the transmission of torque, so as to reduce the cumulative error in the machining process, thereby ensuring that the radial runout and left-right swing error of the cutting knife 5 during rotation are controlled within the allowable range. The cutter seat 4 is driven by the driving motor 7 and is arranged on the mounting base 3, and the mounting base 3 is arranged on the cutter shaft 2. Thus, the positioning is accurate and reliable, the precision is high, and the cutting knife 5 can be freely adjusted and replaced, so as to effectively solve the problems of copper powder, burrs and edge lifting and meet the slitting requirements of various specifications of ultra-thin copper foil.
[0034] Further, the cutter seat 4 is connected with the mounting base 3 through a bearing assembly 9, and one end of the cutter seat 4 is provided with an end cover 6 for fixing the cutting knife 5 on the cutter seat 4.
[0035] The bearing assembly 9 comprises two angular contact ball bearings arranged oppositely and is arranged on the upper portion of the mounting base 3. One end of the cutter seat 4 can be embedded in the inner ring of the bearing assembly 9, and the outer ring of the bearing assembly 9 is fixedly connected with the mounting base 3. The cutting knife 5 is a slitting circular knife, which can be fixed through the end cover 6 after being sleeved on the cutter seat 4.
[0036] Further, the mounting base 3 is also provided with a protective cover 8 on the side opposite to the driving motor 7. An opening is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the protective cover 8, and one side of the cutting knife 5 passes through the opening to the outside of the protective cover 8.
[0037] The protective cover 8 is arranged between the cutter seat 4 and the mounting base 3 to cover the cutting knife 5 to avoid accidental injury. However, in order to ensure that the cutting knife 5 can normally perform the cutting work, the opening is formed in the circumferential surface of the protective cover 8, so that one side of the circumferential surface of the cutting knife 5 can pass through the opening to the outside of the protective cover 8 to perform the cutting work.
[0038] AsFigures 3-4 As shown, the tool holder 4 includes a shaft 401. The shaft 401 has an inner hole 402 for mounting the output end of the drive motor 7. The outer circumferential surface of the shaft 401 is provided with a bearing mounting part 403, a cover mounting part 404, a shoulder 405 and a tool mounting part 406 in sequence.
[0039] The tool holder 4 adopts an integral molding structure. The bearing mounting part 403 is used to embed the inner ring of the bearing assembly 9. One end of the bearing is positioned by the end face of the cover mounting part 404, and the other end is axially positioned by the mounting plate of the drive motor 7. The cover mounting part 404 is used to install the protective cover 8. After the protective cover 8 is fitted onto the cover mounting part 404, it is fixedly installed under the dual positioning of the end face of the shoulder 405 and the end face of the mounting seat 3. The tool mounting part 406 is used to install the cutter 5. One side of the cutter is also positioned by the end face of the shoulder 405, and the other side is axially positioned by the end cover 6, thereby completing the installation of the cutter 5 on the tool holder 4.
[0040] As described above, the output shaft of the drive motor 7 extends into the inner hole 402, and one end of the fastener can pass through the end cover 6 and connect to the output shaft of the drive motor 7. The fastener here is a screw, and a reserved hole is provided at the center of the end cover 6. When installing the end cover 6, one end of the screw passes through the reserved hole into the inner hole 402 and connects to the output shaft of the drive motor 7 in the inner hole 402. The screw and the output shaft of the drive motor 7 are fixedly connected by a threaded connection.
[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the lower part of the mounting base 3 is connected to the cutter shaft 2, and the upper part of the mounting base 3 is connected to the cutter holder 4.
[0042] As described above, the lower part of the mounting base 3 includes two opposing grippers 301, and a mounting hole 302 is formed between the two grippers 301. The cutter shaft 2 passes through the mounting hole 302, thereby realizing the installation of the cutting component on the cutter shaft 2.
[0043] Each of the two grippers 301 has a connecting hole 303 at its end, and a bolt assembly passes through the connecting hole 303 to connect the ends of the two grippers 301.
[0044] The gap between the ends of the two jaws 301 can be adjusted by the bolt assembly, thereby controlling the clamping force of the jaws 301 on the cutter shaft 2. When the bolt assembly is loosened, the gap between the ends of the two jaws 301 increases, and the clamping force of the jaws 301 on the cutter shaft 2 decreases, allowing the mounting seat 3 to move along the axis of the cutter shaft 2. After the cutter shaft 2 moves to the designated position, the bolt assembly is tightened again, so that the mounting seat 3 can be fixed on the cutter shaft 2 and swing with the rotation of the cutter shaft 2.
[0045] In addition, in order to ensure that the cutter shaft 2 and the mounting base 3 can move synchronously, a contact plane can be provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cutter shaft 2, and a matching plane can be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the mounting hole 302. In this way, the shearing force between the contact planes can better ensure that the mounting base 3 can rotate synchronously with the cutter shaft 2.
[0046] Working principle:
[0047] Assembly of the cutting assembly: First, install the bearing assembly 9 into the upper part of the mounting base 3, and fix the drive motor 7 to one side of the mounting base 3; put the protective cover 8 on the cover mounting part 404 of the blade holder 4, and then put the blade holder 4 into the mounting base 3, so that its bearing mounting part 403 is embedded in the inner ring of the bearing assembly 9, and complete the installation of the protective cover 8 on the blade holder 4. At this time, the output shaft of the drive motor 7 is embedded in the inner hole 402; then put the cutter 5 on the blade mounting part 406, and then fix the end cover 6 to the end of the blade mounting part 406 with fasteners to complete the assembly of the cutting assembly; and the end cover 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 7 with fasteners to ensure that the blade holder 4, the cutter 5 and the end cover 6 can rotate synchronously with the output shaft of the drive motor 7.
[0048] After the cutting assembly is assembled, it is mounted on the cutter shaft 2 via the lower part of the mounting base 3. The drive motor 7 drives the cutter 5 to rotate, and the foil is cut under the drive of the cutter shaft 2.
[0049] In summary, this utility model improves upon the existing copper foil slitting mechanism, which suffers from poor positioning accuracy, easy runout and large lateral sway of the circular blade, and inconvenience in adjusting and replacing the blade. It also easily produces defects such as copper powder, burrs, and warping during slitting. The improvement involves using a disc blade shearing method. A separate cutting assembly is designed and manufactured, consisting of a mounting base 3, a blade holder 4, and a drive motor 7. The blade holder 4 serves both as the mounting point for the cutter 5 and as the torque transmitter. Designed as an integrated structure, it is fitted with a bearing assembly 9 and then mounted on the upper part of the mounting base 3, driven independently by the drive motor 7 (a micro motor can be used here). This reduces accumulated machining errors, ensuring that the radial runout error of the entire cutting assembly is controlled within 0.005mm and the lateral sway is 0±0.01mm during rotation. The cutting assembly is then mounted on the reference shaft (i.e., the blade shaft 2). This slitting method ensures accurate and reliable positioning with high precision, preventing any wobbling. Furthermore, the cutter 5 can be individually adjusted and replaced, effectively solving problems such as copper powder, burrs, and edge curling, thus meeting the slitting requirements of various specifications of ultra-thin copper foil.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] like Figure 5As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model also proposes a foil slitting machine using the slitting mechanism, including a frame assembly 10, on which an unwinding assembly 11, a winding assembly 12, a transmission assembly 13, a slitting assembly 14, a pressure roller assembly 15, an iron removal assembly 16, and an antistatic assembly 17 are provided.
[0052] The frame assembly 10 serves as the mounting base, and the transmission assembly 13 and the slitting assembly 14 are disposed between the unwinding assembly 11 and the winding assembly 12, and the number of winding assemblies 12 can be multiple. Here, the transmission assembly 13 can be the grooved roller 1 in Embodiment 1, and the slitting assembly 14 can be the cutter shaft 2 in Embodiment 1 and the cutting assembly mounted on the cutter shaft 2.
[0053] Specifically, the foil is released from the unwinding assembly 11, and then slit into narrow strips of the required width by the cooperation of the transmission assembly 13 and the slitting assembly 14. The slit strips are then wound up by the winding assembly 12. During this process, the pressure roller assembly 15 ensures that the narrow strips can be smoothly wound onto the winding assembly 12, avoiding bulges and gaps; the iron removal assembly 16 removes iron filings adhering to the foil, and the antistatic assembly 17 eliminates static electricity on the foil, thereby improving the production quality of the product.
[0054] Among them, the foil slitting machine is a mature existing equipment, so the specific structure of its components will not be described in detail here.
