[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention provides a transport device for visible to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflectivity film raw materials. It offers the following advantages: This transport device, through the cooperation of a housing, handwheel, double-ended screw, vertical plate, sleeve, limiting ring, slide rail, and slider, achieves precise positioning of the visible to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflectivity film raw materials during transport.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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.
[0023] When transporting reflective film raw materials, existing transport devices cause uneven friction between the reflective film and the rotating rollers, resulting in the reflective film being misaligned and reducing the effectiveness of the transport device.
[0024] In view of this, the present invention provides a transport device for visible to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflectivity film raw materials. Through the cooperation of a box, handwheel, double-headed screw, vertical plate, sleeve, limiting ring, slide rail and slider, the device achieves the limiting of visible to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflectivity film raw materials during transport. This solves the problem that in existing transport devices, the friction between the reflective film and the rotating roller causes different frictional forces at each position of the reflective film, resulting in the reflective film's position easily shifting, thus reducing the effectiveness of the transport device.
[0025] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.
[0026] Example 1: By Figure 1-6It is known that a visible to near-infrared wide-wave ultra-low reflectivity film raw material transport device includes a support platform 1, a column 3 fixedly connected to the surface of the support platform 1, and a rotating roller 4 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the column 3 through bearings. The visible to near-infrared wide-wave ultra-low reflectivity film raw material transport device also includes a guiding device 2, a limiting device 5, and a locking device 6. The guiding device 2 is located outside the support platform 1; the limiting device 5 is located above the rotating roller 4; and the locking device 6 is located on one side of the limiting device 5. The guiding device 2 guides the visible to near-infrared wide-wave ultra-low reflectivity film raw material during transport, the limiting device 5 limits the visible to near-infrared wide-wave ultra-low reflectivity film raw material during transport to prevent it from deviating, and the locking device 6 locks the limiting device 5 when it is not in use.
[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the bottom of the support platform 1 is fixed with support legs, which support the support platform 1. The column 3 supports the rotating roller 4. When transporting the visible light to near infrared broadband ultra-low reflection film material, the staff will pass the visible light to near infrared broadband ultra-low reflection film material through the guide device 2 and the limiting device 5 in sequence. After completion, the staff will limit the reflective film material on the rotating roller 4 through the limiting device 5. Finally, the visible light to near infrared broadband ultra-low reflection film material will be moved to the external coating equipment to start the transportation of the reflective film material.
[0028] Specifically, in transporting the visible to near-infrared wide-wave ultra-low reflection film raw material, the staff will pass the visible to near-infrared wide-wave ultra-low reflection film raw material through the guide device 2 and the limiting device 5 in sequence. After completion, the staff will limit the reflective film raw material on the rotating roller 4 through the limiting device 5. Finally, the visible to near-infrared wide-wave ultra-low reflection film raw material will be moved to the external coating equipment to start the transportation of the reflective film raw material.
[0029] Example 2: From Figure 1-6 It can be seen that the limiting device 5 includes a housing 51, a handwheel 52, a double-ended screw 53, a vertical plate 54, a sleeve 55, a limiting ring 56, a slide rail 57, and a slider 58. The housing 51 is fixed to the top of the column 3; the handwheel 52 is disposed on the side wall of the housing 51; both ends of the double-ended screw 53 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 51 through bearings; the vertical plate 54 is threaded to the outer wall of the double-ended screw 53 and extends to the bottom of the housing 51 through an opening; the sleeve 55 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 51 through bearings. The sleeve 55 is attached to the inner wall of the vertical plate 54, and the inner wall is fitted to the outer wall of the rotating roller 4; the limiting ring 56 is fixed to the side wall of the sleeve 55, and the inner wall is attached to the outer wall of the rotating roller 4; the slide rail 57 is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the housing 51; the slider 58 is slidably engaged with the outer wall of the slide rail 57 and fixed to the top of the vertical plate 54; wherein, driven by the handwheel 52, the double-headed screw 53 causes the vertical plate 54 to drive the slider 58 to move on the slide rail 57, thereby causing the sleeve 55 to drive the limiting ring 56 to move;
[0030] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when limiting the reflective film material, the operator turns the handwheel 52, which causes the double-headed screw 53 to rotate. The double-headed screw 53 drives the vertical plate 54 to move. The vertical plate 54 moves in the box 51. The vertical plate 54 drives the slider 58 to move. The slider 58 slides on the slide rail 57 to limit the vertical plate 54. The vertical plate 54 drives the sleeve 55 to move. The sleeve 55 drives the limiting ring 56 to move, so that the limiting rings 56 on both sides contact the two sides of the reflective film material. After completion, the operator stops turning the handwheel 52, thus realizing the limitation of the visible light to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflective film material during transportation.
[0031] Furthermore, the locking device 6 includes a housing 61, a connecting post 62, a torsion spring 63, a pawl 64, a ratchet 65, and a connecting part 66. The housing 61 is fixed to the side wall of the housing 51; the connecting post 62 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 61 via a pin, and its end extends to the outside of the housing 61 through an opening; the two ends of the torsion spring 63 are respectively fixed to the outer wall of the connecting post 62 and the inner wall of the housing 61; the pawl 64 is fixed to the lower side of the connecting post 62; the ratchet 65 is engaged with the outside of the pawl 64 and fixed to the outside of the double-ended screw 53; the connecting part 66 is provided at the end of the double-ended screw 53; wherein, through the elastic force of the torsion spring 63, the connecting post 62 drives the pawl 64 to contact the ratchet 65, thereby locking the double-ended screw 53;
[0032] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when the double-ended screw 53 rotates, the operator first rotates the connecting post 62. The connecting post 62 rotates around the pin as the center, and the connecting post 62 causes the torsion spring 63 to deform. The connecting post 62 drives the pawl 64 to rotate, causing the pawl 64 to disengage from the ratchet 65 and release the fixation of the double-ended screw 53. After the double-ended screw 53 has finished rotating, the operator releases the connecting post 62. At this time, the torsion spring 63 rebounds, and the elastic force causes the pawl 64 to re-engage with the ratchet 65, fixing the double-ended screw 53 in place. This achieves the locking of the double-ended screw 53 when it is not in use, preventing it from rotating.
[0033] Furthermore, the connecting part 66 includes a horizontal column 661 and a key block 662. The horizontal column 661 is fixed to the side wall of the handwheel 52; the key block 662 is fixed to the end of the double-ended screw 53, and its outer wall is inserted into the inner wall of the horizontal column 661; wherein, the handwheel 52 and the double-ended screw 53 are connected together through the cooperation of the horizontal column 661 and the key block 662.
[0034] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when the operator rotates the limiting device 5, the operator moves the handwheel 52, which drives the horizontal column 661 to move. The horizontal column 661 is inserted into the end of the double-ended screw 53 and onto the key block 662. After that, the operator rotates the handwheel 52 to make the limiting device 5 work. After the rotation is completed, the operator moves the handwheel 52 to make the horizontal column 661 leave the key block 662 on the surface of the double-ended screw 53, thereby preventing others from rotating the handwheel 52.
[0035] Furthermore, the guiding device 2 includes a vertical plate 21, a guide roller 22, and a flattening part 23. The vertical plate 21 is fixed to the surface of the support platform 1 on the side near the column 3. The guide roller 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical plate 21 through a bearing. The flattening part 23 is disposed on the surface of the support platform 1 on the side away from the vertical plate 21. The vertical plate 21 and the guide roller 22 guide the visible light to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflectance film raw materials during transportation.
[0036] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the staff sequentially threaded the visible light to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflectivity film material onto multiple guide rollers 22 to guide the reflectivity film material.
[0037] Furthermore, the flattening section 23 includes a support 231, a pressure roller 232, a cover 233, a hydraulic cylinder 234, a curved column 235, and a vertical rod 236. The support 231 is fixed to the surface of the support platform 1 on the side away from the vertical plate 21. There are two pressure rollers 232, one of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support 231 via a bearing. The cover 233 is fixed to the top of the support 231 by bolts. The hydraulic cylinder 234 is fixed to the upper inner wall of the cover 233 by bolts, and its bottom extends into the interior of the support 231 through an opening. The curved column 235 is fixed to the bottom output end of the hydraulic cylinder 234 by bolts, and is rotatably connected to the end of the other pressure roller 232 via a bearing. The vertical rod 236 is fixed to the top of the curved column 235, passes through the support 231, and is movably connected to the support 231. The hydraulic cylinder 234 and the pressure roller 232 work together to flatten the visible light to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflectivity film material.
[0038] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that a synchronizer is installed between the two hydraulic cylinders 234, enabling them to work simultaneously. The model of hydraulic cylinder 234 is CG5V-63 / 35-300. The connection between the hydraulic cylinder 234 and the external controller is electrical; the control interface of the hydraulic cylinder 234 is connected to the output terminal of the controller via a cable. The output signal of the external controller can precisely control the actions of the hydraulic cylinder 234, such as the extension and retraction of the piston and its speed. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different topic.) The outer wide-wave ultra-low reflectivity film material passes through two pressure rollers 232. After that, the operator starts the hydraulic cylinder 234 through the external controller. The hydraulic cylinder 234 drives the curved column 235 to move. The curved column 235 drives the upright 236 to move in the bracket 231 to guide the curved column 235. The curved column 235 drives the upper pressure roller 232 to move, so that it contacts the outer wall of the reflective film material. After that, the operator stops the hydraulic cylinder 234 through the controller to flatten any wrinkles and unevenness on the surface of the reflective film material, ensuring that the material is in a flat state.
[0039] Specifically, when transporting the visible to near-infrared broadband ultra-low reflection film raw material, the operator first feeds the raw material sequentially onto multiple guide rollers 22, then through the rotating roller 4, and finally out from two pressure rollers 232. Next, the operator rotates the connecting column 62, which rotates around the pin, causing the torsion spring 63 to deform. The connecting column 62 then drives the pawl 64 to rotate, disengaging it from the ratchet 65. After this, the operator moves the handwheel 52, which moves the horizontal column 661, inserting it into the end of the double-ended screw 53 and onto the key block 662. Finally, the operator rotates the handwheel 52 again, causing the double-ended screw 53 to rotate. The double-ended screw 53 then moves the vertical plate 54, which moves within the housing 51. The vertical plate 54 also moves the slider 58, which slides on the slide rail 57. 54 drives the sleeve 55 to move, and the sleeve 55 drives the limiting ring 56 to move, so that the limiting rings 56 on both sides contact the two sides of the reflective film material. After that, the operator stops turning the handwheel 52. At this time, the operator moves the handwheel 52 to make the cross column 661 leave the key block 662 on the surface of the double-ended screw 53. Then, the operator releases the connecting column 62. At this time, the torsion spring 63 rebounds, and the elastic force makes the pawl 64 re-contact with the ratchet 65, fixing the double-ended screw 53. Finally, the operator starts the hydraulic cylinder 234 through the external controller. The hydraulic cylinder 234 drives the crank column 235 to move. The crank column 235 drives the upright 236 to move in the bracket 231 to guide the crank column 235. The crank column 235 drives the upper pressure roller 232 to move, so that it contacts the outer wall of the reflective film material. After that, the operator stops the hydraulic cylinder 234 through the controller and begins to transport the reflective film.
