TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of winding equipment, specifically relates to a joint automatic splicing system of reel paper continuous unwinding. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are two ways when the traditional reel paper printing machine changes the reel, one is to stop and change, and the other is to manually change under the condition of not stopping; The way of stopping and changing has serious raw material waste, high labor intensity, unstable product quality and low production efficiency; And manual change without stopping, the new reel paper joint needs to be connected with the old reel paper moving at high speed, and it is pulled by it, and at the same time, the used old reel paper needs to be cut off quickly, and a series of actions need to be completed in a short time, which completely depends on the personal skill of workers, and has high technical requirements for workers and low reliability.
[0003] To solve this problem, non-manual reel changing devices with limited functions appear in the prior art.
[0004] For example, CN 117864832 A discloses a double-station automatic lap joint unwinding machine, which comprises a rack, a first station and a second station are arranged on the top of the rack, two groups of adsorption lap joint assemblies corresponding to the first station and the second station are arranged in the interior of the rack, the adsorption lap joint assembly comprises two bases symmetrically arranged in the interior of the rack, an adsorption roller moving cylinder is arranged on the top of the same end of each base, an adsorption roller body is arranged between the extension ends of the two adsorption roller moving cylinders, an adsorption roller positioning cylinder is arranged on one of the adsorption roller bodies, and a sawtooth knife cutting assembly is arranged between the extension ends of the two adsorption roller moving cylinders; It can realize continuous production without stopping, and no manual intervention is needed except for sticking adhesive tape and pulling the starting end of the film material to the adsorption roller, and it can be matched with fully automatic equipment; and CN 108147184 A discloses an automatic lap joint machine of a paper coating machine, the paper coating machine comprises a reel machine body, a vertical column arranged in a vertical direction, a connecting beam connected between the reel machine body and the vertical column, and an automatic lap joint machine connected with the reel machine body through the vertical column and the connecting beam, the automatic lap joint machine comprises a paper breaking mechanism hinged at a first end to the vertical column and rotationally connected at a second end to a paper breaking rubber roller, a paper breaking knife fixed to the paper breaking rubber roller, a first cylinder driving the paper breaking mechanism to rotate, a second cylinder driving the paper breaking rubber roller to rotate, and a third cylinder driving the paper breaking knife to cut the paper reel; effectively solve the problem of paper breaking in the production process.
[0005] However, these technical solutions still have some deficiencies and problems in actual application, which may affect production efficiency, lap quality and equipment stability; among them, in CN 117864832 A, if the adsorption roller only controls the adsorption force through mechanical structure, it cannot adapt to the dynamic change of film materials of different materials or thicknesses; and when the double-station switching is performed, if the synchronization of the moving cylinders of the two groups of adsorption rollers is insufficient, the material tension may suddenly change; in addition, in CN 108147184 A, the paper cutting mechanism in the patent relies on the cooperative action of three cylinders, and the compressibility of the gas of the cylinder may cause synchronization error, the pressure control of the paper cutting rubber roller is not accurate, and the application range of the whole device is limited.

[0053] ②During the roll changing: when the remaining diameter of the upper roll reaches the preset value, the main shaft 2 drives the rotating bracket to swing counterclockwise by 35°, the lower roll moves to the unwinding position, and the upper roll slows down; the traction cylinder 12 of the rear end splicing mechanism drives the negative pressure adsorption roller 11 to move upward and adhere to the paper guide roller 6, the negative pressure adsorption roller 11 adsorbs the front end of the thick paper, and then moves upward to adhere the joint of the new paper roll to the old paper roll.
[0054] ③After the roll changing: after the splicing is completed, the driving cylinder 8 pushes the cutting knife 10 to cut off the old paper roll, the lower roll starts to unwind, the upper roll is reset, and the roll changing is completed.
