Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, there are two parallel main unit arches. Each main unit arch is equipped with seven bearing seats, and each bearing seat can move freely laterally within its corresponding main unit arch. The seven bearing seats within the same main unit arch are arranged in a straight line along the horizontal direction. From left to right, the first and seventh bearing seats are large bearing seats, which can play a certain role in positioning, while the remaining bearing seats are small bearing seats.

[0031] There are seven calendering rollers, two of which are connected to bearing seats inside the two main machine stands. The calendering rollers and bearing seats correspond, with the larger calendering roller corresponding to the larger bearing seat and the smaller calendering roller corresponding to the smaller bearing seat. The drive motor that rotates the calendering rollers is mounted on one of the main machine stands. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the calendering roller.

[0032] Within the same main unit frame, there are seven bearing seats in the annular frame. A small servo hydraulic cylinder is installed between each adjacent bearing seat. The cylinder body and piston rod of the small servo hydraulic cylinder are connected to the bearing seats on both sides, respectively. A large servo hydraulic cylinder is also installed on the inner side of the side beam of the annular frame. The cylinder barrel of the large servo hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the side beam, and the piston rod is installed on the seventh bearing seat.

[0033] Two baffle assemblies are provided on both sides of each bearing housing; the bearing housing is located between the two baffle assemblies; each baffle assembly includes a stop block and a cam bearing mounted on the stop block; the cam bearing abuts against the bearing housing. The stop block has an elongated hole, and the stop block is connected to the annular frame by bolts located in the elongated hole.

[0034] To facilitate the movement of the bearing housing within the annular frame, a needle roller assembly is installed within the annular frame; the needle roller assembly is divided into an upper needle roller assembly and a lower needle roller assembly.

[0035] The upper needle roller assembly includes roller rolling blocks, a slide plate positioning plate, and a rolling block mounting plate; two slide plate positioning plates are provided, and the rolling block mounting plate is located between the two slide plate positioning plates; the roller rolling blocks are mounted on the rolling block mounting plate; the slide plate positioning plate is bolted to the inner side of the top beam of the annular frame.

[0036] The lower needle roller assembly includes a lower needle roller frame, a linear motion roller array, and a lower needle roller base plate; the lower needle roller frame is bolted to the inner side of the bottom beam of the annular frame; the lower needle roller base plate is mounted on the lower needle roller frame, and the linear motion roller array is mounted on the lower needle roller base plate.

[0037] The bearing housing is installed between the upper and lower needle roller assemblies and is driven to move by a small servo hydraulic cylinder.

[0038] A through-hole ejector pin is installed on the top beam of the annular frame; the ejector pin is threaded to the top beam, and its inner end abuts against the top of the rolling block mounting plate in the upper needle roller assembly. The ejector pin reduces the clearance between the upper needle roller assembly and the bearing housing.

[0039] The linear motion rollers and roller blocks in this embodiment are specifically referred to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The linear motion rollers consist of multiple rollers mounted on the bottom plate of the lower needle rollers. Each roller has a degree of freedom to rotate around itself via a pin. The rollers of the roller rolling block have grooves on their rolling blocks, and multiple rollers are installed in the grooves. Each roller has a degree of freedom to rotate around itself via a pin.

[0040] This embodiment also provides a buffer roller assembly, which includes a rodless cylinder and a guide roller mounting plate. A cylinder mounting plate is provided on the annular frame of the main unit's frame. The cylinder body of the rodless cylinder is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate, and the guide roller mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the slider of the rodless cylinder. Two guide rollers are mounted on the guide roller mounting plate. The buffer roller assembly has a total of five sets. In this embodiment, a belt-threading sprocket connected to its bearing is also mounted on the cylinder mounting plate; the belt-threading sprocket facilitates belt feeding.

[0041] The following is a principle explanation of this embodiment:

[0042] After entering the seven-roll calender, thin film materials will undergo six consecutive hot roll presses along the conveyor belt path to complete the calendering process.

[0043] Five buffer roller assemblies are distributed between the six roller pressing cycles. They serve to buffer the belt when the speed of the calendering rollers is inconsistent due to starting or speed change.

[0044] In pressure mode, the main cylinder applies a reference force, and the four small servo hydraulic cylinders between each roll gap adjust the magnitude of the applied force according to the required inter-roll pressure for each roll gap.

[0045] In roll gap mode, the displacement gauges built into the four small servo hydraulic cylinders adjust the roll gap to micron-level precision.

[0046] In actual operation, the set screws installed on the archway will tighten the upper needle roller assembly, so that there is zero gap between the bearing housing and the upper and lower needle roller assemblies, ensuring smooth left and right movement while preventing up and down tilting.

[0047] The machine adopts a structure with large calendering rollers at both ends and five small calendering rollers in the middle. This structure minimizes the overall size of the machine while ensuring that the calendering rollers do not undergo large deflection deformation during the pressing process.

[0048] It should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred application example of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions employing equivalent substitutions or equivalent transformations are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
