Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electroplated aluminum processing device, and more particularly to an electroplated aluminum leveling device. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplated aluminum foil is a commonly used material, especially in the printing and packaging industry. It is often used as foil for hot stamping or decoration. Electroplated aluminum foil is composed of multiple layers of different materials, generally including plastic layers, aluminum layers, and coatings.

[0003] Typically, pressure rollers are installed on the worktable, causing the electroplated aluminum that needs to be leveled to move continuously and fall under the pressure rollers. At this time, the pressure applied to the electroplated aluminum by the rotation of the pressure rollers can make the raised electroplated aluminum flat.

[0004] However, during the production process, residual stress may exist inside the electroplated aluminum due to the effects of rolling, stretching and other processes. This stress can cause the material to deform or warp. A single pressure roller may not be able to completely correct these problems at once, resulting in the product still having slight bending or wavy defects after leveling. Furthermore, for electroplated aluminum foil with different thicknesses, hardness or material properties, the adjustment range of a single pressure roller leveling device is limited, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to meet the needs of various materials.

[0005] Therefore, how to set up multiple leveling processes to achieve more stable leveling of electroplated aluminum has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electroplated aluminum leveling device that can be leveled by the action of the rotating roller before the electroplated aluminum reaches the bottom of the pressure roller, so as to make the electroplated aluminum level more thoroughly.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes a worktable, a transmission assembly for reciprocating motion on the worktable, a mounting frame above the worktable, and a pressure roller rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. It also includes a smoothing assembly, which includes a left mounting seat and a right mounting seat slidably mounted on the left and right sides of the worktable, a connecting rod between the left and right mounting seats, and a rotating roller. The left and right sides of the connecting rod are respectively connected to a left connecting plate and a right connecting plate. The left side of the rotating roller is rotatably mounted on the left connecting plate, and the right side of the rotating roller is rotatably mounted on the right connecting plate.

[0008] The present invention is further configured to include a limiting ring, wherein one end of the connecting rod is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks, and the limiting ring is provided with a limiting slot corresponding to each limiting block.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that each of the limiting blocks is arranged in a trapezoidal shape and includes a first end face fixed to the connecting rod and a second end face located outside the first end face, wherein the width of each second end face is smaller than the corresponding first end face.

[0010] The present invention is further configured to include an auxiliary roller located in front of the pressure roller and a front connecting seat for loading the auxiliary roller. The mounting frame includes a rear mounting plate, and a rear connecting seat for loading the pressure roller is fixedly installed below the rear mounting plate.

[0011] The present invention is further configured to include a cylinder and a hydraulic rod, wherein the cylinder is located above the rear mounting plate and the hydraulic rod is linked with the cylinder, and the bottom of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the rear mounting plate.

[0012] The present invention is further configured to include: adjusting columns and springs of the same number as adjusting columns; the mounting bracket includes a front mounting plate; each adjusting column includes a top mounting section and an insertion section; each insertion section is inserted into the front mounting plate and fixed to the front connecting seat; each spring is respectively sleeved on the corresponding insertion section and one end is fixedly connected to the mounting section, and the other end is fixed to the front mounting plate.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the transmission assembly includes a motor, a front connecting rod and a rear connecting rod on the front and rear sides of the insertion worktable, and a plurality of transmission groups located between the front connecting rod and the rear connecting rod. The rear connecting rod is fixedly connected to the motor. Each transmission group includes a front drive wheel fixedly installed on the front connecting rod, a rear drive wheel fixedly installed on the rear connecting rod and located in the extension direction of the front drive wheel, and a transmission belt. The transmission belt is arranged between the front drive wheel and the rear drive wheel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, since the smoothing component is located on the front side of the mounting frame, the electroplated aluminum foil first passes under the rotating roller before moving backward through the transfer component and being guided under the pressure roller. At this time, the rotating roller, due to its rotational mounting between the left and right connecting plates, can smooth the electroplated aluminum foil, achieving the first leveling. Upon further movement to the pressure roller, it undergoes a second leveling process. Setting multiple leveling processes can more thoroughly eliminate defects such as bending and ripples in the electroplated aluminum foil. Each stage of leveling is optimized and adjusted based on the results of the previous stage, ultimately achieving higher flatness and quality standards. Furthermore, the electroplated aluminum foil, after multiple leveling processes, can adhere more closely to the substrate in subsequent hot stamping applications, improving printing clarity and pattern fineness, while also enhancing its durability and aesthetics. This preliminary leveling treatment of the electroplated aluminum foil before the pressure roller helps reduce initial deformation when the material enters the pressure roller, thereby improving the final leveling effect and accuracy.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses an electroplated aluminum leveling device, including a worktable 1, a transmission assembly 2 located on the worktable 1 for reciprocating motion (usually a belt transmission or a mechanism that drives several rods to rotate via several gears, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here), a mounting frame 3 located above the worktable 1, and a pressure roller 4 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3. By placing the electroplated aluminum to be leveled onto the transmission assembly 2 on the worktable 1, the transmission assembly 2 can drive the electroplated aluminum to move from front to back. As the electroplated aluminum moves backward, it falls under the pressure roller 4 and is subjected to the pressure applied by the pressure roller 4, thus achieving the leveling of the electroplated aluminum by the pressure roller 4. It also includes a smoothing assembly 5 located on the front side of the mounting frame 3. The smoothing assembly 5 includes a left mounting seat 51, a right mounting seat 52, a connecting rod 53 located between the left and right mounting seats 51 and 52, and a rotating roller 54, which are slidably mounted on the left and right sides of the worktable 1 in the vertical direction. The left and right sides of the connecting rod 53 are respectively connected to a left connecting plate 531 and a right connecting plate 532. The left side of roller 54 is rotatably mounted on the left connecting plate 531, and the right side of roller 54 is rotatably mounted on the right connecting plate 532. Since the smoothing component 5 is located in front of the mounting frame 3, the electroplated aluminum will first pass under the roller 54 before it moves backward through the transfer component 2 and is guided under the pressure roller 4. At this time, the roller 54, due to its rotatable mounting between the left connecting plate 531 and the right connecting plate 532, can smooth the electroplated aluminum and achieve the first leveling. After moving backward to the pressure roller 4, it can undergo a second leveling. Setting more than one leveling process can more thoroughly eliminate defects such as bending and ripples in the electroplated aluminum. Each leveling stage is optimized and adjusted based on the results of the previous stage, ultimately achieving higher flatness and quality standards. Furthermore, after multiple leveling processes, the electroplated aluminum foil can adhere more closely to the substrate in subsequent hot stamping applications, improving printing clarity and pattern fineness, while also enhancing its durability and aesthetics. The electroplated aluminum can undergo preliminary leveling treatment before the pressure roller 4. This helps reduce the initial deformation of the material when it enters the pressure roller 4, thereby improving the final leveling effect and accuracy.

[0033] The system also includes a limiting ring 6. One end of the connecting rod 53 has several limiting blocks 533 protruding from it. The limiting ring 6 has limiting slots 61 corresponding to each limiting block 533. The left mounting base 51 and right mounting base 52 are made of a material prone to deformation. The portion of the connecting rod 53 that inserts into the left mounting base 51 and right mounting base 52 is a hexagonal prism, preventing the connecting rod 53 from rotating relative to the left and right mounting bases 51 and 52. Therefore, when the smoothing component 5 is inserted between the left and right mounting bases 51 and 52, the left connecting plate 531 and right connecting plate 532 are fixed to the left and right sides of the connecting rod 53 by fastening, bolts, etc., while the rotating roller 54 is located between the left and right connecting plates 531 and 532. The smoothing component 5 is installed on the workbench 1 by inserting the connecting rod 53 between the left mounting base 51 and the right mounting base 52. The left and right sides of the connecting rod 53 are forcibly inserted into the left mounting base 51 and the right mounting base 52 respectively. At this time, because the left end face of each limiting block 533 will abut against the right side of the right mounting base 52, the connecting rod 53 can be stably positioned between the left mounting base 51 and the right mounting base 52 without the action of external force. After the limiting ring 6 is connected to the limiting block 533 of the connecting rod 53, the existence of each limiting block 533 makes the limiting ring 6 installed on the connecting rod 53 unable to move or rotate without the action of external force. This further improves the connection stability of the connecting rod 53 between the left mounting base 51 and the right mounting base 52.

[0034] Preferably, each of the limiting blocks 533 is arranged in a trapezoidal shape and includes a first end face (not shown in the figure) fixed to the connecting rod 53 and a second end face 5331 located outside the first end face. The width of each second end face 5331 is smaller than the corresponding first end face. Since the second end face 5331, which is smaller than the first end face, will first enter the corresponding limiting slot 61 when the limiting ring 6 is installed on the connecting rod 53, the trapezoidal arrangement of each limiting block 533 allows the limiting ring 6 to be installed on the connecting rod 53 more stably and smoothly.

[0035] In addition, it also includes an auxiliary roller 71 located in front of the pressure roller 4 and a front connecting seat 7 into which the auxiliary roller 71 is installed. The mounting frame 3 includes a rear mounting plate 31, and a rear connecting seat 311 into which the pressure roller 4 is installed is fixedly installed below the rear mounting plate 31. Therefore, when the electroplated aluminum moves from front to back and reaches the bottom of the pressure roller 4, the auxiliary roller 71 can press the front side of the electroplated aluminum, so that both the front and rear sides of the electroplated aluminum can be pressed and leveled, thereby improving the integrity of the electroplated aluminum leveling operation.

[0036] The system also includes adjusting columns 8 and springs 83 in the same number as adjusting columns 8. The mounting bracket 3 includes a front mounting plate 32. Each adjusting column 8 includes a top mounting section 81 and an insertion section 82. Each insertion section 82 is inserted into the front mounting plate 32 and fixed to the front connecting seat 7. Each spring 83 is respectively fitted onto the corresponding insertion section 82, with one end fixedly connected to the mounting section 81 by welding or other means, and the other end fixed to the front mounting plate 32 by welding or other means. Due to the presence of each spring 83, if the electroplated aluminum tilts up during the backward movement, the front mounting plate 32 can be lifted to move the adjusting column 8 upward, compressing the spring 83. After the lifting of the front mounting plate 32 is released, the elasticity of the spring 83 itself can move the front connecting seat 7 downward, thereby stabilizing it above the electroplated aluminum and achieving leveling.

[0037] It also includes a cylinder 9 (the wiring method and principle of the cylinder are existing technology and will not be described in detail here) and a hydraulic rod 91. The cylinder 9 is located above the rear mounting plate 3 and the hydraulic rod 91 is linked with the cylinder 9. The bottom of the hydraulic rod 91 is fixedly connected to the rear mounting plate 31 by welding or other means. Since the cylinder 9 and the hydraulic rod 91 can drive the height of the rear mounting plate 31 to be adjusted, the height of the rear mounting plate 31 and the pressure roller 4 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the electroplated aluminum, thereby meeting more usage needs.

[0038] It is worth noting that the left mounting base 51 and the right mounting base 52 are slidably mounted on the worktable 1. If the thickness of the electroplated aluminum changes, the height of the left mounting base 51 and the right mounting base 52 on the worktable 1 can be adjusted (in this embodiment, the bolts of the left mounting base 51 and the right mounting base 52 are inserted into the spiral of the worktable 1) so that the height of the rotating roller 54 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0039] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 2 includes a motor 21 (the wiring method and principle of the motor are existing technology and will not be specifically described here), a front connecting rod 22 and a rear connecting rod 23 on the front and rear sides of the insertion workbench 1, and several transmission groups 24 located between the front connecting rod 22 and the rear connecting rod 23. The rear connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the motor 21 by means of key connection or other means. Each transmission group 24 includes a front drive wheel 241 fixedly installed on the front connecting rod 22, a rear drive wheel 242 fixedly installed on the rear connecting rod 23 by welding or other means and located in the extension direction of the front drive wheel 241, and a transmission belt 243. The transmission belt 243 is arranged between the front drive wheel 241 and the rear drive wheel 242, and is activated by starting. The motor 21 can then drive the rear connecting rod 23 to rotate. Since each rear drive wheel 242 is fixed on the rear connecting rod 23, the rear drive wheel 242 will rotate when the rear connecting rod 23 rotates. Since each transmission belt 243 is respectively set between each set of front drive wheel 241 and rear drive wheel 242, during the rotation of each rear drive wheel 242, the corresponding front drive wheel 241 and the front connecting rod 22 fixed to the front drive wheel 241 can be driven to rotate through each transmission belt 243. Therefore, after the electroplated aluminum to be leveled is placed on the transmission assembly 2, starting the motor 21 can enable the electroplated aluminum to be driven to move backward between each transmission belt 243.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
