[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0021] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a coating machine unwinding tension control device, including a coating machine body 1; in order to adjust the tension according to the change in the diameter of the roll material during the unwinding process and keep the tension balanced, the coating machine body 1 is provided with an unwinding shaft 2, a tension sensor 3, an adjusting shaft 4 and a traction shaft 5. The base fabric material is installed on the unwinding shaft 2 and passes through the tension sensor 3, the adjusting shaft 4 and the traction shaft 5 in sequence. The adjusting shaft 4 is provided with a control component 6, which can change the diameter of the adjusting shaft 4. By changing the diameter of the adjusting shaft 4, the tension is kept balanced.
[0022] To adjust the diameter of the adjusting shaft 4, the control assembly 6 includes a mounting plate 61 and an adjusting motor 62. The mounting plate 61 and the adjusting motor 62 are respectively installed at the bottom of the coating machine body 1. A sliding member 63 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 61, and a movable shaft plate 64 is mounted on the sliding member 63. An adjusting gear plate 65 is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate 61, and a motor gear plate 66 is mounted on the adjusting motor 62. The adjusting gear plate 65 and the motor gear plate 66 mesh with each other. A limit groove 67 is provided on the mounting plate 61, and the sliding member 63 is slidably mounted in the limit groove 67. A push rod rail 68 is provided on the adjusting gear plate 65, and a push rod rail 68 is mounted on the sliding member 63. There is a push rod 69, which is slidably installed in the push rod track 68. The push rod track 68 is arc-shaped, and multiple push rod tracks 68 are evenly distributed on the adjusting gear plate 65. The adjusting motor 62 drives the motor gear plate 66 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the adjusting gear plate 65 and the motor gear plate 66, the adjusting gear plate 65 rotates on the mounting plate 61. The push rod 69 is pushed by the push rod track 68 on the adjusting gear plate 65. At the same time, under the limiting action of the upper limit groove 67 on the mounting plate 61, the sliding member 63 slides along the direction of the limiting groove 67. The sliding member 63 drives the movable shaft plate 64 to expand outward, increasing the shaft radius of the adjusting shaft 4.
[0023] To adjust the diameter of the adjusting shaft 4 according to tension changes, a PLC module 7, or programmable logic controller, is installed at the bottom of the coating machine body 1. This module uses a programmable memory to store programs and execute user-oriented instructions such as logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations. It controls various types of machinery or production processes through digital or analog input / output. Essentially, it is a computer specifically designed for industrial control, with a hardware structure largely similar to a microcomputer. It is generally used for data processing and instruction reception and output, enabling central control. The PLC module 7 is electrically connected to the adjusting motor 62. The unwinding shaft 2 and the traction shaft 5 are controlled by a servo motor. The tension sensor 3 and the PLC module 7 are also connected. During operation of the coating machine, the base fabric material on the unwinding shaft 2 gradually decreases, the diameter becomes smaller, and the tension decreases. The tension sensor 3 monitors the tension changes. When the tension decreases, the PLC module 7 controls the regulating motor 62, which drives the motor gear 66 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the regulating gear 65 and the motor gear 66, the regulating gear 65 rotates on the mounting plate 61. The push rod 69 is pushed by the push rod rail 68 on the regulating gear 65. At the same time, under the limiting action of the upper limit groove 67 on the mounting plate 61, the sliding member 63 slides along the direction of the limiting groove 67. The sliding member 63 drives the movable shaft plate 64 to expand outward, increasing the shaft radius of the regulating shaft 4. The increased shaft radius increases the tension, thus achieving the effect of tension adjustment.
[0024] The working principle is as follows: During the operation of the coating machine, the base fabric material on the unwinding shaft 2 gradually decreases, the diameter becomes smaller, and the tension decreases. The tension sensor 3 monitors the tension change. When the tension decreases, the PLC module 7 controls the regulating motor 62, which drives the motor gear 66 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the regulating gear 65 and the motor gear 66, the regulating gear 65 rotates on the mounting plate 61. The push rod 69 is pushed by the push rod rail 68 on the regulating gear 65. At the same time, under the limiting action of the upper limit groove 67 on the mounting plate 61, the sliding member 63 slides along the direction of the limiting groove 67. The sliding member 63 drives the movable shaft plate 64 to expand outward, increasing the shaft radius of the regulating shaft 4. As the shaft radius increases, the tension increases, thus achieving the effect of tension adjustment.
