Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper foil processing technology, specifically to a copper foil cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, especially in the production of flexible circuit boards, copper foil serves as a crucial electrode material carrier, and the quality and efficiency of its cutting process have a critical impact on the entire production flow. Traditional copper foil cutting methods have several problems: manual cutting is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale industrial production; when using ordinary machinery, due to the soft and thin nature of copper foil, it is difficult to position it properly during the cutting process, leading to displacement and low dimensional accuracy. This not only affects the subsequent processing performance of the copper foil but also poses potential risks such as internal short circuits in batteries; some automated cutting equipment can also achieve automatic loading and unloading of copper foil, but the copper foil is prone to arching or displacement during the feeding process, also resulting in low dimensional accuracy and difficulty in guaranteeing the cutting quality and effect. Although this can be mitigated by adding additional positioning structures, this will affect the feeding of the copper foil, making the loading, unloading, and cutting processes less smooth and less efficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a copper foil cutting device that can improve cutting efficiency while ensuring the cutting quality and effect of copper foil.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A copper foil cutting device includes a frame, a feeding mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, and a receiving mechanism; the frame is provided with a material support platform; the feeding mechanism is located on the frame and is used to feed copper foil; the cutting mechanism is located on the frame and is used to cut copper foil; the first clamping mechanism is located on the frame and between the feeding mechanism and the cutting mechanism, and is used to clamp the copper foil fed by the feeding mechanism and transport it along the material support platform to the cutting mechanism; the second clamping mechanism is located on the frame and on the side of the cutting mechanism away from the first clamping mechanism, and is used to clamp the copper foil cut by the cutting mechanism and transport it away from the cutting mechanism along the material support platform; the receiving mechanism is located on the frame and is used to collect the cut copper foil.

[0005] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This cutting device is equipped with a first clamping mechanism and a second clamping mechanism on the material support platform. The material support platform supports the copper foil, and the first clamping mechanism clamps the copper foil released by the feeding mechanism and conveys it along the material support platform to the cutting mechanism. The first clamping mechanism works with the material support platform to position the copper foil, ensuring the quality of the cut copper foil, and also works with the feeding mechanism to convey the copper foil, making the feeding of the copper foil smoother. The second clamping mechanism clamps the copper foil on the other side of the cutting mechanism, further realizing the positioning of the copper foil on the material support platform, further ensuring the cutting effect of the copper foil. After the copper foil is cut, the second clamping mechanism clamps the copper foil and conveys it away from the cutting mechanism along the material support platform. This facilitates the collection mechanism to collect the copper foil and does not affect the subsequent cutting and collection of copper foil, thus improving the cutting efficiency.

[0006] The copper foil cutting equipment described above includes a material support platform comprising multiple support frames and multiple support rods. The lower end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the machine frame, and the multiple support frames are distributed sequentially along the X-axis. The support rods are fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame, and the multiple support rods are distributed sequentially along the Y-axis. The X-axis is the copper foil conveying direction.

[0007] In the aforementioned copper foil cutting equipment, the support frame is provided with multiple slots, and the multiple supporting rods are respectively engaged in the multiple slots.

[0008] The aforementioned copper foil cutting equipment also includes a vision inspection system mounted on the frame. The vision inspection system is located above the material support platform and its position can be adjusted along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis.

[0009] The copper foil cutting equipment described above includes a feeding mechanism comprising a feeding roller, a tension adjusting component, and a pressure cap. The feeding roller is used to position and place the material roll, the tension adjusting component is used to adjust the unwinding tension, and the pressure cap is located at the end of the material support platform.

[0011] The copper foil cutting device described above includes a cutting table mounted on the frame and a cutting blade located above the cutting table. The cutting blade can move downward along the Z-axis to cut the copper foil on the cutting table.

[0012] The copper foil cutting device described above has a guide surface on the side of the cutting table near the first clamping mechanism.

[0013] The copper foil cutting equipment described above includes a receiving mechanism comprising an adsorption component and a storage platform. The adsorption component is capable of adsorbing copper foil and transferring it to the storage platform.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a copper foil cutting device, including a frame 100, a feeding mechanism 200, a cutting mechanism 300, a first clamping mechanism 400, a second clamping mechanism 500, and a receiving mechanism 600. The feeding mechanism 200, the first clamping mechanism 400, the cutting mechanism 300, and the second clamping mechanism 500 are distributed sequentially along the X-axis. A material support platform 110 is provided on the frame 100 for supporting materials. The material support platform 110 includes two parts, respectively distributed on both sides of the cutting mechanism 300; one part is used to support the copper foil before cutting, and the other part is used to support the copper foil after cutting.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A feeding mechanism 200 is located at one end of the frame 100 and is used to unwind copper foil. The feeding mechanism 200 includes a feeding roller 210, a tension adjusting component 220, and a pressure cap 230. The feeding roller 210 is used to position and place the coil, and is rotatably connected to the frame 100. When rotated, it can unwind the copper foil. The tension adjusting component 220 is used to adjust the unwinding tension, and includes multiple tension rollers 221. After being unwound from the feeding roller 210, the copper foil is sequentially wound around the multiple tension rollers 221. A fixed frame 120 is provided at the end of the frame 100. One of the tension rollers 221 of the tension adjusting component 220 is connected to the fixed frame 120. The pressure cap 230 is located at the end of the material support platform 110 and is sway-up and down connected to the fixed frame 120. After the copper foil is wound onto the tension roller 221 on the fixed frame 120, it passes between the pressure cover 230 and the material support platform 110 and is held by the first clamping mechanism 400. The setting of the pressure cover 230 and its up-and-down swinging connection can work with the material support platform 110 to position the copper foil, so as to prevent the copper foil from shifting or arching, and also to avoid adverse effects on the movement of the copper foil.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The cutting mechanism 300 is mounted on the frame 100 and located between the two parts of the material support platform 110, and is used to cut copper foil. Further, the cutting mechanism 300 includes a cutting table 310 mounted on the frame 100 and a cutting blade located above the cutting table 310. The cutting blade can move downwards along the Z-axis to cut the copper foil on the cutting table 310. Further, the side of the cutting table 310 closest to the first clamping mechanism 400 has a guide surface 311, so that the copper foil held by the first clamping mechanism 400 can enter the cutting table 310 from the material support platform 110. Specifically, the guide surface 311 is an arc surface, which can guide the copper foil without creating too much resistance, thus facilitating the forward movement of the copper foil.

[0032] Reference Figure 4The material support platform 110 includes multiple support frames 111 and multiple support rods 112. The lower ends of the support frames 111 are fixedly connected to the frame 100, and the multiple support frames 111 are distributed sequentially along the X-axis. The support rods 112 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the support frames 111, and the multiple support rods 112 are distributed sequentially along the Y-axis. The X-axis is the copper foil conveying direction, and the Y-axis is perpendicular to the X-axis. This material support platform 110 uses support rods 112 instead of a flat surface. This not only helps to ensure positioning in conjunction with the first clamping mechanism 400 and the second clamping mechanism 500, but also reduces the contact area with the copper foil, lowers friction, makes the copper foil transport smoother, and ensures the quality of the copper foil. Furthermore, the support frames 111 have multiple slots 1111, and the multiple support rods 112 are respectively engaged in the multiple slots 1111. Furthermore, this copper foil cutting equipment also includes a vision inspection system 700 mounted on the frame 100. The vision inspection system 700 is located above the material support platform 110, and its position can be adjusted along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. The vision inspection system 700 can detect parameters such as the position of the copper foil in real time, so that the control system can adjust the cutting parameters according to the detection results.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the frame 100 is provided with an X-axis guide rail 130, which has two sections distributed on both sides of the cutting mechanism 300. One section is used for the movement of the first clamping mechanism 400, and the other section is used for the movement of the second clamping mechanism 500. Further, referring to... Figure 5 The first clamping mechanism 400 includes a first slider 410, a first clamping plate 420, and a second clamping plate 430. The first slider 410 is slidably connected to the X-axis guide rail 130 and can be driven by a driving component such as an electric cylinder. The first clamping plate 420 is fixedly mounted on the first slider 410 and located below the support rod 112. The second clamping plate 430 is located above the support rod 112 and can move along the Z-axis under the drive of a driving component such as a cylinder, thereby moving towards the first clamping plate 420 to clamp the copper foil. The structure of the second clamping mechanism 500 is similar to that of the first clamping mechanism 400 and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the receiving mechanism 600 includes an adsorption component 610 and a storage platform 620. The adsorption component 610 can adsorb copper foil and transfer it to the storage platform 620. The adsorption component 610 includes multiple suction nozzles and can move along the X, Y, and Z axes to adsorb and transfer the copper foil conveyed by the second clamping mechanism 500 onto the storage platform 620. Further, two storage platforms 620 are distributed on both sides of the material receiving platform 110. In some embodiments, after one storage platform 620 is full of copper foil, it can be stored in the other storage platform 620, and the copper foil on the first storage platform 620 can be removed by personnel. In other embodiments, one storage platform 620 can be used as a qualified product storage platform, and the other storage platform 620 as a defective product storage platform. Further, multiple positioning posts 621 are distributed around the storage platform 620 to prevent the copper foil from falling off.

[0035] When copper foil needs to be cut, the copper foil roll is positioned and connected to the feeding roller 210. The free end of the copper foil is wound around multiple tension rollers 221, passes between the pressure cover 230 and the material support platform 110, connects to the first clamping mechanism 400 along the material support platform 110, and passes under the cutting table 310 to connect to the second clamping mechanism 500. After adjusting the motion parameters of the cutting equipment, the first clamping mechanism 400 clamps the copper foil and moves forward to the target position. The cutting mechanism 300 cuts the copper foil, the second clamping mechanism 500 transports the copper foil away, and the receiving mechanism 600 collects the copper foil from the material support platform 110. The first clamping mechanism 400 retracts and clamps the copper foil again to transport it forward. The cutting mechanism 300 cuts the copper foil again, and the second clamping mechanism 500 transports the copper foil away again. This process is repeated until the cutting is completed.

[0036] This cutting equipment is equipped with a first clamping mechanism 400 and a second clamping mechanism 500 on a material support platform 110. The material support platform 110 supports copper foil, and the first clamping mechanism 400 clamps the copper foil released by the feeding mechanism 200 and conveys the copper foil along the material support platform 110 to the cutting mechanism 300. The first clamping mechanism 400 can work with the material support platform 110 to position the copper foil, ensuring the quality of the cut copper foil, and can also work with the feeding mechanism 200 to convey the copper foil, making the feeding of copper foil smoother. The second clamping mechanism 500 clamps the copper foil on the other side of the cutting mechanism 300, which can further realize the positioning of the copper foil on the material support platform 110, and further ensure the cutting effect of the copper foil. After the copper foil is cut, the second clamping mechanism 500 clamps the copper foil and conveys it away from the cutting mechanism 300 along the material support platform 110. This not only makes it easier for the material receiving mechanism 600 to collect the copper foil, but also does not affect the subsequent cutting and material receiving of copper foil, thus improving the cutting efficiency.
