[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. More details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can obviously be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions and derivations based on actual application situations without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.

[0034] It should be noted that these and other accompanying drawings are merely examples and are not drawn to scale, and should not be used as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] The film conveying structure is used to drive the film roll 5 to rotate in order to convey the film 5'. The film 5' is wound to form the film roll 5, which has a central shaft cavity 51. For high-speed, discontinuous film conveying schemes, the film roll needs to address the problem of over-rotation and inability to stop in time when stopping rapidly.

[0036] In response to this problem, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a film conveying structure is shown, including a drive component 20, a centering shaft 50, and a stop component 70.

[0037] The drive component 20 is used to pull the end of the film 5'. The centering shaft 50 extends from one end of the film roll 5 along the axial direction S into the central shaft cavity 51, causing the film roll 5 to rotate around the centering shaft 50. The centering shaft 50 controls the concentricity of the film roll rotation. The stopping component 70 includes a brake 30. The brake is connected to the other end of the film roll 5 along the axial direction and is used to provide a torque to stop the rotation, thereby stopping the rotation of the film roll 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the stopping component 70 also includes a chuck 40, which is connected to the brake component 30. The chuck 40 extends from the other end of the membrane roll 5 along the axial direction S into the central shaft cavity 51. The brake component 30 provides a torque to stop rotation and transmits it to the membrane roll via the chuck 40 to stop the rotation of the membrane roll 5. In some embodiments, the brake component 30 includes a connecting shaft 31 that extends into the connecting hole 42 of the chuck 40, so that the two are coaxially rotatably connected. The brake component 30, chuck 40, centering shaft 50, and membrane roll 5 are concentrically arranged.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the driving component 20 is a film pulling clamp structure, which includes an upper film pulling part 201 and a lower film pulling part 202, respectively contacting the upper and lower surfaces of the film 5' to clamp or release the film 5'. The film pulling clamp structure pulls the film along the film unwinding direction X, while the film roll 5 rotates along the axis S of the chuck 40 and the centering shaft 50 under the action of the chuck 40 and the centering shaft 50.

[0040] When the film pulling length reaches the set value, the film pulling clamp structure will decelerate and gradually stop. The film roll 5 will continue to rotate under the action of inertia, and the brake 30 needs to provide a torque to stop the rotation of the film roll and the forward movement of the film pulling clamp.

[0041] The brake 30 includes a damping part, which is preferably a controllable torque damping part, such as an electromagnetic brake, a hydraulic torque limiter, a clutch, etc. The brake 30 provides different deceleration effects for different working conditions by controlling the torque damping. The brake can adopt various control modes, such as mechanical control structure or hydraulic control structure or electric control structure. The electric control brake controls the operation of the brake system through an electric drive device, such as controlling the contact force between the brake pad and the brake by a motor. The mechanical control controls the brake system through a physical mechanism, relying on mechanical transmission to apply the brake force. The hydraulic control controls the brake through a hydraulic system, and the pressure of the hydraulic system controls the size of the brake force.

[0042] In order to further transmit the torque provided by the brake 30, the end surface of the chuck 40 extending into the center shaft cavity 51 is provided with a protrusion 41, the cross-sectional diameter of the protrusion 41 is equal to or slightly larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the center shaft cavity 51, which is used to increase the friction between the chuck and the inner wall of the center shaft cavity, and the other end of the chuck 40 is connected with the brake 30. Preferably, the surface of the protrusion 41 has a threaded structure, which further increases the friction between the chuck and the inner wall of the center shaft cavity.

[0043] When the film roll 5 moves under the drive of the driving component 20, the brake 30, the chuck 40 and the film roll 5, the centering shaft 50 rotate coaxially, at this time the brake 30 is in a passive rotation state; when the film roll 5 needs to stop rotating, the driving component 20 stops driving, the connecting shaft 3 of the brake 30 is locked, a fixed torque is output, which is transmitted to the film roll 5 through the friction between the chuck 40 and the inner wall of the center shaft cavity, to stop the rotation of the film roll 5.

[0044] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the timely stopping and stability of the film roll 5, the structure further includes a controller 60 connected with the brake 30 to control the brake 30 to provide braking at the appropriate time.

[0045] The film conveying structure can directly output the torque for stopping the film roll through the stopping part composed of the brake and the chuck, effectively simplifies the conveying structure, can simply and efficiently convey the film, and significantly reduces the cost.
