Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roll-to-roll technology, and in particular to a continuous production equipment for flexible sensor skin roll-to-roll. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible electronics manufactures functional devices and wiring on flexible substrates through printing, resulting in thin, flexible, and bendable characteristics. New products, represented by flexible sensors, are leading innovative changes in fields such as healthcare and information technology. Flexible sensing skin, as an important application of flexible electronics, is used in various scenarios such as robot tactile perception and wind turbine blade icing detection. Traditional manufacturing of flexible electronic devices generally involves preparing soft and hard components separately and then using integration methods to deposit hard materials on a soft substrate or coat hard materials with soft materials. Due to the mismatch in material modulus, this method makes it difficult to directly manufacture integrated flexible electronic devices in one step, and the production efficiency is low, which cannot meet the growing market demand for flexible sensing skin.
[0003] Roll-to-roll manufacturing is a continuous production method that enables direct printing on flexible, ultra-thin, and stretchable substrates. It produces ultra-flexible, bend-resistant, and elastic circuit products, such as flexible sensors. This process meets the requirements for product flexibility while achieving large-area and high-volume mass production, effectively reducing production costs and improving efficiency. It adapts to the market demand for large-scale production of flexible sensor skin. However, during use, issues arise such as ink not drying quickly enough, and waste accumulation affecting work efficiency in existing technologies. While waste is generated during equipment operation, manual cleaning is slow. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a flexible sensing skin roll continuous production equipment, including a support plate 4. A drying mechanism 2 is located at the center of the top right side of the support plate 4. The drying mechanism 2 is used to dry ink. A cleaning mechanism 3 is located on the left side of the support plate 4. The cleaning mechanism 3 is used to clean the cylinder 13. The drying mechanism 2 includes a square fixing plate 201, which is located at the center of the top right side of the support plate 4. A slot 202 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the square fixing plate 201. A square connecting rod 203 is slidably connected to the center of the slot 202. A square connecting rod 203 is fixedly connected to the left side of the right end of the slot 202. A connecting plate 204 is connected to the square connecting rod 203. A square connecting block 206 is fixedly connected to the left side of the square connecting rod 203. A spring 205 is provided in the middle of the square connecting rod 203 and the connecting plate 204. A fan 208 is provided at the bottom of the square connecting block 206. A baffle 207 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the slot 202. A drive assembly 209 is provided in the middle of the baffle 207. The drive assembly 209 includes a motor 2091. The motor 2091 is located in the middle of the baffle 207. A rotating shaft 2092 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2091. A connecting rope 2093 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating shaft 2092.
[0034] Specifically, when the motor 2091 is started, the power output of the motor 2091 directly drives the connected rotating shaft 2092 to rotate synchronously. As the rotating shaft 2092 rotates, the connecting rope 2093 wound around it is gradually wound up. Under the action of tension, the connecting rope 2093 drives the square connecting rod 203 to slide smoothly along the track of the slot 202, realizing the movement of position. The fan 208 installed at the lower end of the square connecting block 206, which is fixedly connected to the square connecting block 206, will reach the area where the ink is located as the square connecting block 206 moves. The airflow generated by the fan 208 can quickly remove the heat and moisture from the surface of the ink. This allows for efficient and rapid air drying of the ink, significantly shortening the ink drying time. When the motor 2091 stops, the square connecting block 206, which has lost power traction, will be pulled to its initial position under the elastic restoring force of the spring 205 in the connecting plate 204 on the slot 202. At the same time, the square connecting block 206 connected to the square connecting block 206 will also be pulled back to its original position, completing the reset action. The motor 2091 is stably fixed on the baffle 207. This fixing method can provide solid support for the motor 2091, effectively reducing the vibration and displacement generated when the motor 2091 is running, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire device operation.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a waste bin 301, which is located on the top left side of the support plate 4. A support fixing plate 302 is fixedly connected inside the waste bin 301. A columnar connecting block 303 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the support fixing plate 302. A columnar buckle 304 is installed on the left side of the columnar connecting block 303. A columnar connecting rod 305 is provided on the left side of the columnar buckle 304. A brush 306 is installed at the left end of the columnar connecting rod 305. Multiple wooden boards 1 are installed on both the left and right ends of the support plate 4. An operating table 12 is installed on the side of the wooden board 1. An indicator sign 8 is provided on the left side of the operating table 12. Multiple screws 7 are threadedly connected at equal intervals on the outer side of the indicator sign 8.
[0036] Specifically, the brush 306 is connected to the cylindrical buckle 304 via the cylindrical connecting rod 305. This connection method ensures the stability between the brush 306 and the cylindrical buckle 304, and facilitates quick replacement when the brush 306 is worn or damaged. The cylindrical buckle 304 engages with the left side of the cylindrical connecting block 303, and the engaging structure ensures a tight connection between the two, preventing the brush 306 from easily falling off during operation. It also allows for easy adjustment of the brush 306's position as needed to adapt to different cleaning requirements. The cylindrical connecting block 303 is fixed to the top left side of the support plate 302, providing a solid support foundation for the entire brush 306 and its connecting components, ensuring the brush 306 operates smoothly during cleaning. During cleaning operations, it can maintain a stable posture and will not shake due to force, thus ensuring the cleaning effect. The support and fixing plate 302, as the core support component of the entire cleaning structure, provides a stable installation platform for the various components of the cleaning structure, so that they can be assembled in an orderly manner and work together. The support and fixing plate 302 is fixed inside the waste bin 301. This installation method not only makes the cleaning structure and the waste bin 301 form an organic whole, but also allows the waste generated during cleaning to fall directly into the waste bin 301 below under the action of gravity, avoiding secondary pollution caused by the scattering of waste. The indicator sign 8 on the operating table 12 serves as a warning and is fixed by multiple screws 7.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The wooden board 1 has multiple round rods 5 inside, and multiple protective rings 6 are installed on the outer side of each round rod 5. Multiple cylindrical tubes 13 are installed on the outer side of each round rod 5. Rotating rods 14 are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of each cylindrical tube 13. Multiple support rods 10 are installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the support plate 4. Support bases 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each support rod 10. Multiple cylindrical tubes 15 are installed inside the wooden board 1. Multiple screws 9 are threaded at equal intervals on the outer wall of each cylindrical tube 15.
[0038] Specifically, multiple round rods 5 form distributed support inside the wooden board 1. Multiple protective rings 6 on the outside of the round rods 5 reduce friction, lower the wear rate, and act as a buffer to protect the body of the round rods 5. Multiple cylindrical tubes 13 on the outside of the round rods 5, together with rotating rods 14 installed at equal intervals on the outer wall, allow the cylindrical tubes 13 to rotate flexibly around the round rods 5. The rotating rods 14 can disperse stress through rotation, avoid excessive local stress that could damage components, and improve the flexibility of the overall structure. Multiple support rods 10 at equal intervals at the bottom of the support plate 4, together with the fixed support base 11 at the bottom, form a stable support system, reducing the risk of single-point settlement and preventing tilting or collapse. Multiple cylindrical tubes 15 inside the wooden board 1 are fixed by multiple screws 9 connected at equal intervals on the outer wall. The equal distribution of the screws 9 ensures the tightness of the connection between the cylindrical tubes 15 and the wooden board 1 and the uniformity of the force, preventing the cylindrical tubes 15 from loosening or shifting during use, and ensuring their positional accuracy and structural reliability.
[0039] Working principle: Start the motor 2091, which in turn drives the connected rotating shaft 2092 to rotate. Driven by the motor 2091, the connecting rope 2093 drives the square connecting rod 203 to slide on the slot 202. The fan 208 installed at the lower end of the square connecting block 206, which is fixedly connected to the square connecting block 206, dries the ink quickly. When the motor 2091 is stopped, the square connecting block 206 and the spring 205 in the connecting plate 204 set on the slot 202 pull the square connecting block 206 back to its original position, and the motor 2091 is fixed on the baffle 207.
[0040] The brush 306 is connected to the cylindrical buckle 304 via the cylindrical connecting rod 305. The cylindrical buckle 304 is engaged with the left side of the cylindrical connecting block 303. The cylindrical connecting block 303 is fixed to the top left side of the support fixing plate 302. The support fixing plate 302 provides stable support for the entire cleaning structure and is fixed inside the waste bin 301. The waste generated during cleaning falls into the waste bin 301 below.
