Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extrusion coating technology, specifically a slit extrusion die mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Slot coating is a coating technology that uses pressure to force a coating liquid through the slots of a mold onto a moving substrate. Its working principle involves the coating liquid being extruded and sprayed out along the slots of a coating mold under pressure and flow rate, uniformly coating the substrate surface. This process offers advantages such as fast coating speed, good film thickness uniformity, wide viscosity range of the coating liquid, fewer coating defects, high coating liquid utilization, and the ability to perform multiple coatings simultaneously.

[0003] The core of a coating system is the coating head, and its design and precision are crucial to coating quality. Besides the high-precision control required for the spacing between the coating head and the support rollers, the support and guiding position of the subsequent rollers on the substrate after coating also significantly impacts the coating effect. It's necessary to consider both the positional coordination with the support rollers to tension the substrate and the coordination with the substrate transport in subsequent processes for guidance. Improper support positioning can lead to substrate vibration or deformation during coating. The position and precision of the guide rollers directly affect the substrate's running direction and tension, thus affecting the uniformity of the coating. Therefore, with changes in processes, substrates, and other factors that may change in production, the support rollers for adjacent coating areas must be carefully adjusted and adapted. However, existing dies and related structures are fixed installations. If tension or positional issues arise, they cannot adapt flexibly and promptly to production needs, thus affecting the coating effect and quality. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0027] Taking into account the design of key support and tension guide rollers, as well as the need for adjustment and movement, the main body of this mechanism includes the following components:

[0028] A base plate 1 is used to support the die head mechanism and to install and fix the entire mechanism in the corresponding position in the production process. The two ends of the bottom of the base plate 1 are fixedly mounted on the mounting platform in the workshop, the die head body 3 is fixedly fixed in the center of the top of the base plate 1, and the receiving groove 2 is fixedly fixed at the bottom of the base plate 1.

[0029] The die head body 3 is selected as a slit extrusion die head. The die head body 3 has an extrusion slit on one side and a feed pipe is provided in the center of the other side of the die head body 3 to realize the function of quantitative slit coating.

[0030] The receiving trough 2 covers the area below the slit and is used to collect and store the liquid dripping during the commissioning and production phases. A return pipe is located at one end of the receiving trough 2, and a return tank is connected to the end of the return pipe. The return tank is used to collect the collected dripping liquid, reducing waste. The liquid can be reused after processing.

[0031] Linear telescopic mechanisms are installed at both ends of the substrate 1. Each linear telescopic mechanism includes a housing 4 fixed to both ends of the substrate. Inside the housing 4 is a travel frame 5 with linear travel. The travel frame 5 includes four optical axis guide rails 6 arranged in a matrix to provide precise and high-strength support and guidance. A mounting plate 8 is located near the extrusion slit of the housing 4. A sliding sleeve that slidably engages with the optical axis guide rails 6 is fixed on the mounting plate 8. A lead screw nut is fixed in the middle of the mounting plate 8. A lead screw 7, parallel to the optical axis guide rails 6, is located in the middle of the travel frame 5. The lead screw 7 engages with the sliding sleeve to control the position and travel of the travel frame 5. A lead screw motor for driving the lead screw 7 is installed at the outer end of the travel frame 5.

[0032] A positioning plate 9 is fixed to one end of the travel frame 5 exposed outside the housing 4. The positioning plates 9 are symmetrically arranged relative to the two ends of the die head body 3. A positioning roller 10 is installed between the positioning plates 9. The side of the positioning roller 10 closest to the die head body 3 is used to bypass the substrate. In production, the substrate is usually fed from below the positioning roller 10, bypasses the positioning roller 10 from bottom to top on the side closest to the die head body 3, and is then delivered from above the positioning roller 10.

[0033] Distance sensors 11 are installed at one or both ends of the substrate 1. The distance sensors 11 are infrared or laser sensors. The emitting end of the distance sensors 11 points to the positioning plate 9. The distance sensors 11 are used to obtain the relative position of the positioning plate 9, thereby providing feedback on the distance between the positioning roller 10 and the extrusion slit, providing precise data support for coating feedback.

[0034] Based on the above structure, the positioning roller 10 in the middle is supported by the positioning plates 9 on both sides. The adjustable stroke frame 5 makes the distance between the positioning roller 10 and the die head body 3 adjustable. On the one hand, the distance between the two can be precisely adjusted to adapt to the thickness of the substrate being processed and the characteristics of the coating liquid. On the other hand, when stopping work and preparing to feed the substrate, the positioning roller 10 is moved away from the die head body 3, which facilitates the corresponding inspection, maintenance, feeding, debugging and other operations.

[0035] The positioning roller 10 is arranged side by side with the die head body 3 at the same height. The linear travel of the travel frame 5 is horizontal and perpendicular to the length direction of the positioning roller 10, thereby enabling precise adjustment of the distance between the positioning roller 10 and the die head body 3.

[0036] An adjustment seat 12 is fixed on the side of the positioning plate 9 away from the mold head body 3. The adjustment seat 12 is a triangular steel component. The side of the adjustment seat 12 away from the mold head body 3 is a mounting surface 13. The mounting surface 13 is an inclined surface that slopes from bottom to top away from the mold head body 3. The mounting surface 13 is provided with a slot 14 extending in the same direction as its length. The bottom width of the slot 14 is greater than the opening width, which can better limit the position. The bottom of the slot 14 is trapezoidal. A slider 15 corresponding to its cross-section is slidably fitted in the slot 14. A horizontally extending moving block 16 is fixed to one end of the slider 15 exposed outside the slot 14. The bottom of the moving block 16 is provided with a clearance groove 17. A positioning hole 18 is horizontally penetrating the slider 15. The bottom of the slot 14 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 19 along its length. One end of the positioning hole 18 is exposed on the surface of the slider 15 and the other end of the positioning hole 18 is located in the clearance groove 17. A positioning bolt threadedly fits through the positioning hole 18. The positioning bolt is threadedly engaged with the positioning groove 19 to fix the relative position of the moving block 16 on the mounting surface 13.

[0037] Since the mounting surface 13 is inclined, the lower the position of the moving block 16, the closer it is to the positioning roller 10, and the higher the fixed position of the moving block 16, the further it is from the positioning roller 10.

[0038] A guide roller 20 is provided between two movable blocks 16. The two ends of the guide roller 20 are respectively provided with a bearing seat 21 for mounting the roller shaft of the guide roller 20. A connecting plate 22 is fixed on one side of the bearing seat 21. A fixing bolt passes through the connecting plate 22. The end of the movable block 16 is provided with a bolt hole 23 that cooperates with the positioning bolt. The connecting plate 22 and the bearing seat 21 are L-shaped.

[0039] In practical applications, the substrate passes around the positioning roller 10 from bottom to top, and then passes around from below the guide roller 20.

[0040] Based on the above structure, the relative positional relationship between the guide roller 20 and the positioning roller 10 can be adjusted in a variety of ways.

[0041] Firstly, by utilizing the tilting effect of the mounting surface 13, the guide roller 20 is positioned such that the closer it is to the positioning roller 10, the lower it is; conversely, the farther it is from the positioning roller 10, the higher it is. This allows for one-step adjustment of tension and guiding capacity. The advantage of this adjustment method is that after coating, the guide roller 20 provides initial support, facilitating the transport to the next process. It provides both guiding and tensioning functions for the substrate and the positioning roller 10. Typically, material is fed from the bottom and discharged from the top, with the next process transported at a higher position. Therefore, when increased tension is required, the guide roller 20 needs to be closer to the positioning roller 10 to tighten the substrate, and the substrate needs to be pressed down to achieve higher tension. Thus, increasing tension requires simultaneously adjusting the distance and lowering the position. If reducing the tension gap leads to subsequent stabilization of the guide, it is necessary to adjust the distance and height. By using an inclined mounting surface 13, adjustments in both dimensions can be completed in one step, which is more convenient and facilitates easy adjustment operations through a preset inclined surface.

[0042] Secondly, since the connecting plate 22 and the bearing seat 21 are L-shaped, there are two installation methods in actual use. The first method is to position the guide roller 20 above the connecting plate 22. In this state, at the same installation height of the moving block 16, the downward pressure of the guide roller 20 is small and the upward guiding effect is good. The second method is to position the guide roller 20 below the connecting plate 22. In this state, at the same installation height of the moving block 16, the guide roller 20 is pressed down more, thus increasing the tension. By adjusting the installation method, it can be adapted to substrates with different needs, further increasing the flexibility of the relative position of the guide roller 20.

[0043] This die head mechanism allows for better control of the substrate's stability after coating by adjusting the support position of the rollers, improving coating thickness and quality control. It is suitable for a wider range of substrates with varying performance characteristics and can adapt to the requirements of various processes. It also allows for precise control of the substrate's tension and running direction to ensure coating stability.

[0044] Meanwhile, by simplifying the adjustment structure and rationally positioning the support and guide, the failures and adjustment time during the coating process are reduced, thereby improving production efficiency.
