Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric cutting device technology, specifically an automatic fabric cutting device for prepreg fabric. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon fiber prepreg is made by bonding epoxy resin to carbon fibers using high-pressure, high-temperature technology. The composite material, also known as carbon fiber prepreg, is made from carbon fiber yarn, epoxy resin, release paper, and other materials through processes such as coating, hot pressing, cooling, lamination, and winding. During production, prepreg is often wound up using winding equipment, which is a device that can roll the prepreg into a coil.

[0003] Common winding equipment includes a machine body, a feeding structure, a cutting structure, and a winding structure. The cutting structure is located between the winding structure and the feeding structure. The prepreg fabric to be wound passes through the feeding structure, the cutting structure, and the winding structure in sequence. The prepreg fabric is wound up on the winding structure. After the winding structure has wound up a certain amount of prepreg fabric, the cutting structure is activated to cut the prepreg fabric. The winding structure completes the winding of one roll of prepreg fabric.

[0004] Regarding the above technical conditions, there is still a defect that the stability of the prepreg after being cut by the cutting structure is not good enough. During the winding process, the prepreg is taut. After the cutting structure cuts the prepreg, the prepreg will shrink in the direction of the feeding structure due to inertia, which affects the winding of the next roll of prepreg.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs an automatic fabric cutting device for prepreg fabric to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic fabric cutting device for prepreg fabric to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic fabric cutting device for prepreg fabric, comprising a machine body, a feeding mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a receiving roller. The feeding mechanism is disposed on the machine body, the cutting mechanism is disposed on the machine body, the receiving roller is disposed on the machine body, and the cutting mechanism is disposed between the feeding mechanism and the receiving roller. A pressing mechanism is disposed on the machine body, and two pressing mechanisms are disposed on the machine body, respectively disposed on both sides of the cutting mechanism. Each pressing mechanism includes a pressing roller, a hydraulic rod, and a fixing frame. The hydraulic rod is fixedly disposed on the machine body, and two hydraulic rods are disposed on the machine body, respectively disposed on both sides of the machine body. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to the hydraulic rod, and the pressing roller is fixedly disposed on the fixing frame. A support plate is fixedly disposed on the machine body, and the pressing roller abuts against the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding roller, a follower roller, and a driving device. The driving device is mounted on the machine body, the feeding roller is rotatably mounted on the machine body, the driving device is connected to the feeding roller, and the follower roller is rotatably mounted on the machine body, with the follower roller located above the feeding roller.

The fabric cutting blade is located above the support plate.

[0010] Preferably, the receiving roller is fitted with a fixing tube, and two fixing tubes are provided on the receiving roller.

[0011] Preferably, a feeding roller is rotatably mounted on the machine body, the feeding roller is below the receiving roller, and the feeding roller is tangent to the limiting ring.

[0012] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects: Before the cutting mechanism cuts the prepreg, the hydraulic rod is activated, the hydraulic rod retracts, the fixed frame moves downward with the pressure roller, the pressure roller presses the prepreg, and the prepreg is pressed between the pressure roller and the support plate.

The pressure roller releases the pressure on the prepreg. At this time, the prepreg is less likely to retract towards the receiving mechanism due to inertia after being cut by the cutting mechanism, thus improving the stability of the prepreg after being cut by the cutting mechanism.

[0020] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] An automatic fabric cutting device for prepreg includes a machine body 9, a feeding mechanism 17, a cutting mechanism 15, and a take-up roller 13. The feeding mechanism 17 is mounted on the machine body 9, the cutting mechanism 15 is mounted on the machine body 9, and the take-up roller 13 is mounted on the machine body 9 when rotating. The cutting mechanism 15 is located between the feeding mechanism 17 and the take-up roller 13. A first motor 20 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 9 and is connected to the take-up roller 13.

[0023] The feeding mechanism 17 conveys the prepreg fabric to be rolled up towards the cutting mechanism 15 and the take-up roller 13. The motor is started, the take-up roller 13 rotates, and the prepreg fabric is rolled up by the take-up roller 13. When the prepreg fabric on the take-up roller 13 is rolled up to a suitable amount, the cutting mechanism 15 is started, the cutting mechanism 15 cuts the prepreg fabric, and the take-up roller 13 rolls up a roll of prepreg fabric.

[0024] The machine body 9 is provided with a pressing mechanism 14. There are two pressing mechanisms 14 on the machine body 9, which are respectively located on both sides of the cutting mechanism 15. The pressing mechanism 14 includes a pressing roller 7, a hydraulic rod 5, and a fixing frame 4. The hydraulic rod 5 is fixedly installed on the machine body 9. There are two hydraulic rods 5 on the machine body 9, which are respectively located on both sides of the machine body 9. The fixing frame 4 is fixedly installed on the hydraulic rod 5. The pressing roller 7 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 4. A support plate 16 is fixedly installed on the machine body 9. The support plate 16 is located between the two hydraulic rods 5. The pressing roller 7 abuts against the support plate 16.

[0025] Before cutting the prepreg, first activate the pressing mechanism 14 to press the prepreg between the pressing mechanism 14 and the support plate 16. Then, activate the hydraulic rod 5, causing the fixing frame 4 to move downwards with the pressing roller 7. The pressing roller 7 presses against the prepreg, pressing it firmly between the pressing roller 7 and the support plate 16. At this point, after the cutting mechanism 15 cuts the prepreg, the prepreg will not shrink back to either side of the cutting mechanism 15.

[0026] When continuing to wind up the next roll of prepreg, the feeding mechanism 17 is started first, followed by the pressing mechanism 14. The feeding mechanism 17 first conveys a certain distance of prepreg before the pressing mechanism 14 contacts and presses the prepreg. At this time, the prepreg will not shrink towards the feeding mechanism 17 due to inertia.

[0027] The feeding mechanism 17 includes a feeding roller 19, a follower roller 1, and a driving device. The feeding roller 19 is rotatably mounted on the machine body 9, and the follower roller 1 is mounted on the machine body 9 above the feeding roller 19. The driving device is mounted on the machine body 9 and connected to the feeding roller 19. When the driving device is started, the feeding roller 19 rotates. The follower roller 1 rotates in the opposite direction to the feeding roller 19. The follower roller 1 rotates as the feeding roller 19 rotates. The prepreg fabric is between the feeding roller 19 and the follower roller 1. When the follower roller 1 and the feeding roller 19 rotate, the prepreg fabric is conveyed towards the direction of the cutting mechanism 15.

[0028] A fixing tube 10 is sleeved on the take-up roller 13. Two fixing tubes 10 are provided on the take-up roller 13, and the two fixing tubes 10 are respectively located at both ends of the take-up roller 13. A limiting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing tube 10. The limiting ring 11 is located between the two fixing tubes 10. The fixing tubes 10 and the limiting ring 11 play a limiting role in the prepreg fabric on the take-up roller 13, so that the prepreg fabric wound on the take-up roller 13 is more regular.

[0029] When the machine body 9 rotates, there is not only the feeding roller 12, but also the feeding roller 12 below the take-up roller 13. The feeding roller 12 is tangent to the limiting ring 11. When the take-up roller 13 is about to finish winding a roll of prepreg, the feeding roller 12 comes into contact with the prepreg. The section of prepreg cut by the cutting mechanism 15 is neatly wound onto the take-up roller 13 by the action of the feeding roller 12.

[0030] The cutting machine includes a cylinder 8, a fixed plate 18, a linear motor 2, and a cutting blade 3. The cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 9. There are two cylinders 8 on the machine body 9, which are respectively located on both sides of the machine body 9. The telescopic shaft of the cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 6. The fixed plate 18 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6. The linear motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 18. The cutting blade 3 is fixedly mounted on the moving block of the linear motor 2 and is located above the support plate 16.

[0031] When the prepreg needs to be cut, cylinder 8 is activated, the telescopic shaft of cylinder 8 retracts, and the fixed plate 18, linear motor 2 and cutting blade 3 move down toward the support plate 16. The cutting blade 3 presses against the support plate 16, and the prepreg is between the support plate 16 and the cutting blade 3. The linear motor 2 is activated, and the moving block moves the cutting blade 3 on the support plate 16, and the prepreg on the support plate 16 is cut by the cutting blade 3.

[0032] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Before the cutting mechanism 15 cuts the prepreg, the hydraulic rod 5 is activated, the hydraulic rod 5 retracts, the fixed frame 4 moves downward with the pressure roller 7, the pressure roller 7 presses against the prepreg, and the prepreg is pressed between the pressure roller 7 and the support plate 16. The cutting mechanism 15 is then activated to cut the prepreg. At this time, the feeding mechanism 17 is activated first. After the feeding mechanism 17 has conveyed the prepreg a certain distance in the direction of the cutting mechanism 15, the hydraulic rod 5 is activated again, the hydraulic rod 5 extends, and the fixed frame 4 moves the pressure roller 7 away from the support plate 16. The pressure roller 7 releases the pressure on the prepreg. At this time, the prepreg is less likely to retract towards the receiving mechanism due to inertia after being cut by the cutting mechanism 15, thus improving the stability of the prepreg after being cut by the cutting mechanism 15.
