[0002] With the widespread application of coating technology in high-end manufacturing fields such as advanced semiconductor packaging, perovskite solar cells, hydrogen fuel cell electrodes, and liquid crystal display thin-film transistors, coating equipment has become a key piece of equipment in these industries. Coating quality directly affects the performance and yield of the final product, and the die head control of the coating machine is the core factor determining coating quality.

[0003] Currently, intelligent coating machines generally use servo electric cylinders to control the local T-block stroke of the die head, changing the local lip opening to adjust the coating weight, thus achieving automated adjustment. Compared with the traditional manual adjustment method, this not only significantly improves production efficiency but also greatly enhances coating accuracy and consistency. However, in practical applications, multiple servo electric cylinders often need to be electrically connected through cascade connectors to achieve synchronous control and signal transmission.

[0004] Existing cascade connectors suffer from the following problems during insertion and removal: Firstly, the insertion direction is unclear, easily leading to misinsertion, reverse insertion, and other operational errors, causing equipment to fail to start or even be damaged. Secondly, the insertion and removal process is cumbersome, the connection is not secure, and it is prone to loosening, affecting the stability of signal transmission and consequently impacting the accuracy and reliability of die head control. These problems are particularly prominent during equipment debugging, maintenance, and replacement, severely restricting the level of intelligence and production efficiency of coating equipment.

[0007] A female socket is provided with a corresponding plug hole, and the female socket and the plug hole are located on both sides along the width direction of the end face of the cascade plate;

[0008] The electric cylinder includes an external shaft and a male plug. The external shaft extends from the bottom of the electric cylinder, and the male plug is located at the bottom of the electric cylinder and on one side of the external shaft.

[0009] When the external shaft is inserted into the socket, the female socket and the male plug are connected.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the cascade board further includes a bus interface, which is soldered to the circuit board; the bus interface is provided at both ends of the cascade board.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the bus interface includes a two-core CAN bus and a two-core DC power line.

The cascade plate 2 is disposed on the support base 1. The support base 1 serves as an installation and fixing device and bears the load. The support base 1 is provided with fixing holes 11 for installation and fixing. The fixing holes 11 are evenly distributed around the support base 1, and can be directly locked to the mold head with bolts. The cascaded board 2 integrates a printed circuit board, and a plurality of female sockets 21 and a plurality of insertion holes 22 are provided on the end face of the cascaded board 2; the female sockets 21 are connected to the circuit board, and a plurality of female sockets 21 are arranged in series; one female socket 21 is provided with a corresponding insertion hole 22, and the female sockets 21 and the insertion holes 22 are arranged on both sides along the width direction of the end face of the cascaded board 2; the electric cylinder 3 includes an external shaft 31 and a male plug 32, the external shaft 31 extends from the bottom of the electric cylinder 3, and the male plug 32 is located at the bottom of the electric cylinder 3 and on one side of the external shaft 31; when the external shaft 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 22, the female socket 21 and the male plug 32 are inserted into each other.

[0029] The cascade plate 2 is mounted on the support base 1, providing a stable support platform for the electric cylinder 3. The cascade plate 2 integrates a circuit board, with female sockets 21 connected to the circuit board. Several female sockets 21 are connected in series, enabling electrical connection and signal transmission between the electric cylinders 3. The external shaft 31 of the electric cylinder 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 22 of the cascade plate 2. The insertion hole 22 is a round hole for the external shaft 31 to pass through. Simultaneously, the male plug 32 at the bottom of the electric cylinder 3 is inserted into the female socket 21 on the cascade plate 2, completing the mechanical and electrical connection between the electric cylinder 3 and the cascade plate 2.

[0030] By positioning the female socket 21 and the insertion hole 22 on both sides of the width of the cascade plate 2 end face, and cooperating with the male plug 32 and external shaft 31 at the bottom of the electric cylinder 3, the electric cylinder 3 has a clear insertion direction when inserted into the cascade plate 2.

[0032] Bus interface 23 is soldered onto the circuit board of cascade board 2, ensuring a secure connection between bus interface 23 and the circuit board and guaranteeing the stability of signal transmission. The presence of bus interfaces 23 at both ends of cascade board 2 allows for easy connection to external control systems, power supplies, and other devices.

[0033] This embodiment uses the female socket 21 and male plug 32 for plug-in connection to achieve electrical connection between the electric cylinder 3 and the cascade board 2. It has advantages such as reliable connection, vibration resistance, and impact resistance, and can adapt to the vibrations and impacts that may occur during the operation of the cascade drive device of the electric cylinder 3, ensuring the stability of the connection.
