[0035] Vacuum evaporation coating is the main production method of composite current collector material, but in the coating process, the metal liquid surface is often unstable, the liquid surface boils, causing metal liquid droplets to splash onto the film material surface or the roller surface, causing defects such as splashing, concave-convex points, scratches, etc. to the coating product, which has a bad influence on the appearance of the product and the subsequent coating process. In the related art, a slot device is usually added to a slitting machine or a rewinding machine, but due to the large runout value of the equipment manufacturing precision equipment guide shaft, the gap error between the slot driven scraper and the guide shaft is large. In order to solve the slot error problem, the slot device and the guide shaft need to be automatically adjusted in real time to ensure the accuracy of the gap.

[0036] To solve the problems in the related art, the present disclosure provides a slot automatic adjusting device, comprising: a rack for supporting a slot back roller, the slot back roller being rotatably arranged on the rack and configured to transport a film material; a scraper assembly opposite to the slot back roller and configured to change the coating amount on the surface of the film material; a height adjusting assembly arranged on the rack and connected with the scraper assembly, configured to adjust the height of the scraper assembly in the vertical direction of the rack, and configured to make the scraper assembly parallel to the slot back roller; a detection unit arranged on the side of the slot back roller away from the scraper assembly and configured to detect the runout value of the slot back roller in real time, wherein the vertical direction is a first direction; in response to the detection unit sending a first signal, the height adjusting assembly moves in the vertical direction; and the adjustment range of the height adjusting assembly is 0-3mm.

[0037] The slot automatic adjusting device provided by the present disclosure has an automatic adjustment range of 0-3mm and a positioning accuracy of 0.002mm. The detection unit can detect the runout error of the slot back roller in real time, and the gap size between the driven scraper assembly and the slot back roller can be adjusted in real time according to the runout error, allowing the scraper assembly and the slot back roller to be installed in a state of non-parallel axis. The scraper assembly can be inclined according to the axis of the slot back roller to ensure that the axis of the scraper assembly is parallel to that of the slot back roller.

[0038] In view of this, the optional embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] This disclosure provides an automatic slit adjustment device 1000, including: a frame 100, a doctor blade 320 assembly 300, a height adjustment assembly 200, and a detection assembly. The frame 100 is positioned adjacent to a slit back roller 500, which is rotatable to transport a film material 600. The frame 100 is configured to support the doctor blade 320 assembly 300 and the height adjustment assembly, such that the doctor blade 320 assembly 300 is positioned close to the slit back roller 500. The doctor blade 320 assembly 300 faces the slit back roller 500 and is configured to change the coating amount on the surface of the film material 600. The height adjustment assembly is located on the frame 100 and connected to the doctor blade 320 assembly 300, and is configured to adjust the height of the doctor blade 320 assembly 300 in the vertical direction of the frame 100, so that the doctor blade 320 assembly 300 is parallel to the slit back roller 500. The detection unit 400 is disposed on the side of the slit back roller 500 away from the scraper 320 assembly 300, and is configured to detect the runout value of the slit back roller 500 in real time, wherein the vertical direction is the first direction; in response to the detection unit 400 issuing a first signal, the height adjustment assembly moves in the vertical direction; the adjustment range of the height adjustment assembly 200 is 0-3mm.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the frame 100 extends vertically, which is a first direction. The top of the frame 100 is connected to the height adjustment assembly 200. The scraper 320 assembly 300 is disposed on the height adjustment assembly 200. The height adjustment assembly 200 includes: a first adjustment mechanism 221 and a second adjustment mechanism 222, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a base 210 of a height adjustment assembly according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 It can be seen that the first adjustment mechanism 221 and the second adjustment mechanism 222 are independently arranged along the length extension direction of the base 210. The adjustment height of the first adjustment mechanism 221 and the second adjustment mechanism 222 in the first direction can be the same or different, and are configured to make the scraper 320 assembly 300 parallel to the slit back roller 500.

[0041] In some embodiments, the height adjustment component 200 includes a moving mechanism and a driving mechanism, such as... Figure 3As shown, the moving mechanism includes a base 210, which is connected with at least part of the scraper 320 assembly 300 and configured to drive the scraper 320 assembly 300 to move. The driving mechanism includes a driving motor 251 and a speed reducer 252, which are configured to drive the moving mechanism to move and further drive the scraper 320 assembly 300 to move so as to make the scraper 320 assembly 300 close to the film material 600.

[0042] Specifically, the driving motor 251 can be a servo motor. The rotation of the driving motor 251 drives the moving mechanism to move through the speed reduction of the speed reducer 252. The speed reduction ratio of the speed reducer 252 can be 1:100. In this speed reduction ratio, the driving motor 251 can control the moving distance of the moving mechanism more accurately, and the scraper 320 assembly 300 can move in a preset moving range.

[0043] In some embodiments, the scraper 320 assembly 300 includes a scraper mounting frame 310 and a scraper 320. The scraper mounting frame 310 is connected with the height adjustment assembly, and the scraper 320 is mounted on the scraper mounting frame 310 and configured to contact the film material 600. The scraper mounting frame 310 includes an abutting portion, and a first elastic member 331 is arranged between the scraper 320 and the abutting portion. The first elastic member 331 is configured to improve the motion accuracy of the scraper 320. In response to the contact between the scraper 320 and the film material 600, the first elastic member 331 can be adaptively adjusted according to the pressure received by the scraper 320, so as to avoid excessive stress of the film material 600 caused by the scraper 320.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 4 The scraper 320 is pressed to the surface of the scraper mounting frame 310 by the combination of the fixing bolt 330 and the second elastic member 332, so as to avoid slit errors caused by equipment shaking, and the first elastic member 331 can also push the slit active scraper 320 to move.

[0045] In some embodiments, the moving mechanism includes a linear guide rail 261 configured to limit the moving direction of the scraper 320 assembly 300, a sliding part 262 slidingly arranged on the linear guide rail 261, at least part of the sliding part 262 being fixedly connected with the scraper 320 assembly 300, a ball screw 263 connected with the driving mechanism and configured to drive the sliding part 262 to move along the linear guide rail 261, and a fixed taper block 264 arranged at the end of the sliding part 262 away from the linear guide rail 261, the fixed taper block 264 moving synchronously with the sliding part 262.

[0046] Specifically, as shown, Figure 5 ,Figure 6 As shown, the ball screw 263 is connected with the driving mechanism through the moving mechanism, and in response to driving of the driving mechanism, the ball screw 263 rotates correspondingly to drive the sliding part 262 to move upwards or downwards along the first direction. Since the slit back roll 500 will have an irregular shaking or slight vibration phenomenon during movement, which is referred to as guide roll jumping. The guide roll jumping will not only affect the printing quality, but also easily cause damage to the equipment. Therefore, in order to overcome the guide roll jumping problem of the slit back roll 500, the moving distance of the sliding part 262 on the linear guide rail 261 is 0-3 mm, so that the scraper 320 assembly 300 can be adaptively adjusted according to the guide roll jumping of the slit back roll 500, and the scraper 320 assembly 300 is prevented from scratching the slit back roll 500 due to the guide roll jumping of the slit back roll 500.

[0047] In some embodiments, the moving mechanism further comprises a cylinder assembly 240, the cylinder assembly 240 comprising a cylinder barrel 241 and a piston 242, the piston 242 being provided with a movable wedge block 243 at an end away from the cylinder barrel 241, and being connected with a fixed wedge block 264 and configured to drive the fixed wedge block 264 to move in a second direction, wherein the second direction is the width direction of the base 210, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In response to the piston 242 of the cylinder assembly 240 extending out, the movable wedge block 243 is in contact with the inclined surface of the fixed wedge block 264, at this time, the scraper 320 assembly 300 can move along the first direction; in response to the piston 242 of the cylinder assembly 240 retracting, the movable wedge block 243 drives the scraper 320 to move along the second direction.

[0048] In some embodiments, the taper of the fixed wedge block 264 or the movable wedge block 243 can be 1:10. It is separately pointed out that the disclosure does not specifically limit the taper of the fixed wedge block 264 or the movable wedge block 243, and according to actual production needs, a higher taper ratio can be selected if higher precision is required.

[0049] In some embodiments, the detection unit 400 is arranged at the slit back roll 500, and in the second direction, the detection unit 400 and the scraper 320 form an angle of 180°. The detection unit 400 has two high-precision contact displacement sensors, which detect the jumping value of the slit back roll 500, and the detection width is the same as the width of the slit active scraper 320 and the positions correspond to each other. Meanwhile, the end of the slit back roll 500 is designed with an encoder configured to detect the rotating speed of the slit back roll 500.

[0050] In some embodiments, the slit automatic adjusting device 1000 further comprises a control unit configured to receive the jump information and the rotating speed information of the slit back roll 500 to adjust the position of the height adjusting assembly 200 in the vertical direction.

[0051] The specific structure, working principle and beneficial effects of the slit automatic adjusting device 1000 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can refer to the slit automatic adjusting device 1000 described in any of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

The same or similar parts of each embodiment can be referred to. For the system or device disclosed in the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the method part.
