However, existing film coating equipment typically requires the entire tank to be filled with gel solution to ensure the continuity and uniformity of coating. However, this design reveals a serious problem of resource waste in actual operation. When it is necessary to change to a gel solution with different properties, or to perform regular cleaning and maintenance of the tank, the entire tank of gel solution must be discarded. This not only wastes a large amount of expensive gel material but also increases the cost of subsequent wastewater treatment and the environmental burden, severely restricting the efficiency and sustainable development of the coating process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gel tank placement tank to address the problem mentioned in the background art of existing film coating equipment, which typically requires the entire tank to be filled with gel solution to ensure the continuity and uniformity of coating. However, this design exposes a serious problem of resource waste in actual operation. When it is necessary to change to a gel solution with different properties or to perform regular cleaning and maintenance of the tank, the entire gel solution in the tank must be poured out. This not only causes a large waste of expensive gel materials, but also increases the cost of subsequent waste liquid treatment and the environmental burden, seriously restricting the efficiency and sustainable development of the coating process.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gel tank occupant groove, including a gel tank body, the inner side of which stores a gel solution, a coating roller rotatably connected to one side surface of the gel tank body, a first pass roller rotatably connected to one side surface of the gel tank body, an occupant mechanism provided on one side surface of the gel tank body, a material film adhered to one side surface of the coating roller, an extrusion coating head adhered to one side surface of the material film, a coating liquid inlet opened on one side surface of the extrusion coating head, and a second pass roller rotatably connected to one side surface of the gel tank body;

[0005] The occupancy mechanism includes an occupancy groove, a support plate, an adhesive plate, a handle, and a clamp. The occupancy groove is slidably connected to one side surface of the gel tank. The support plate is fixedly connected to one side surface of the occupancy groove. The adhesive plate is fixedly connected to one side surface of the occupancy groove. The handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adhesive plate. The clamp is fixedly connected to one side surface of the adhesive plate.

[0006] Preferably, the coating roller is located at the front end of the gel tank and is rotatably connected to the gel tank, and the second roller is located at the rear end of the front end of the gel tank and is rotatably connected to the gel tank.

[0007] Preferably, the size of the first roller matches the size of the second roller, and the size of the coating roller is larger than the size of the first roller and the second roller.

[0008] Preferably, the spacer groove is located in the middle of the gel tank and is slidably connected to the gel tank, and fifteen sets of spacer grooves are continuously fitted together.

[0009] Preferably, the bonding plate is provided on each of the two upper surfaces of the occupant groove, and the handle and clamp are provided on each of the occupant grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the occupant groove is fixedly connected to the gel tank by clamps, and the support plate is disposed above the occupant groove and fixedly connected to the occupant groove.

[0011] Preferably, the film slides and moves through the gel solution via the coating roller, the first guide roller, and the second guide roller, which rotate as the film moves. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are: the gel tank occupant slot, through the setting of the occupant mechanism, is fixed in the middle position of the gel tank body by clamps during use, and the support plate provides a stable support structure. In the initial state, an appropriate amount of gel solution is injected into the gel tank body, and then the film is introduced, so that it sequentially adheres to the coating roller, the second guide roller, and the first guide roller. During this process, the coating roller, the second guide roller, and the first guide roller rotate with the movement of the film, ensuring the smooth operation of the film. The film contacts the gel solution to achieve coating. Simultaneously, squeezing the coating head replenishes the gel solution to maintain the coating operation. When it is necessary to change the solution or clean the tank, the operator can easily remove the placeholder from the gel tank using the handle. Because the placeholder is made of stainless steel sheet bent and welded, it is large in size but light in weight, making it very convenient to pick up and put down. After removing the placeholder, only a small amount of gel solution remaining in the tank needs to be dealt with, which greatly reduces solution waste and subsequent processing costs, effectively improving the efficiency and economy of the coating process and meeting the needs of modern material coating technology for resource conservation and high-efficiency production.

[0018] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a gel tank occupant tank, including a gel tank body 1, a gel solution 2 stored inside the gel tank body 1, a coating roller 3 rotatably connected to one side surface of the gel tank body 1, a first pass roller 4 rotatably connected to one side surface of the gel tank body 1, an occupant mechanism 5 provided on one side surface of the gel tank body 1, a material film 6 attached to one side surface of the coating roller 3, an extrusion coating head 7 attached to one side surface of the material film 6, a coating liquid inlet 8 opened on one side surface of the extrusion coating head 7, and a second pass roller 9 rotatably connected to one side surface of the gel tank body 1.

[0020] The positioning mechanism 5 includes a positioning groove 501, a support plate 502, an adhesive plate 503, a handle 504, and a clamp 505. The positioning groove 501 is slidably connected to one side surface of the gel tank 1. The support plate 502 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the positioning groove 501. The adhesive plate 503 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the positioning groove 501. The handle 504 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adhesive plate 503. The clamp 505 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the adhesive plate 503. Through the arrangement of the positioning groove 501, support plate 502, adhesive plate 503, handle 504, and clamp 505, during use, an appropriate amount of gel solution 2 is first injected into the gel tank 1. Then, the film 6 is introduced, causing it to sequentially adhere to the coating roller 3, the second roller 9, and the first roller 4. During this process, the coating roller 3, the second roller 9, and the first roller 4 rotate as the film 6 moves, ensuring the film 6... During stable operation, the coating film 6 contacts the gel solution 2 to achieve coating. Simultaneously, the coating head 7 can replenish the gel solution 2 through the coating liquid inlet 8 to maintain the coating operation. When it is necessary to change the solution or clean the gel tank 1, the operator can easily remove the placeholder 501 from the gel tank 1 using the handle 504. Since the placeholder 501 is made of stainless steel sheet bent and welded, it has the characteristics of large volume but light weight, making it very convenient to pick up and put down. After removing the placeholder 501, only a small amount of gel solution 2 remaining in the gel tank 1 needs to be dealt with, which greatly reduces solution waste and subsequent processing costs, effectively improving the efficiency and economy of the coating process, and meeting the needs of modern material coating technology for resource conservation and high-efficiency production.

[0021] Furthermore, the coating roller 3 is positioned at the front end of the gel tank 1, forming a rotatable connection with the gel tank 1. The second guide roller 9 is positioned at the rear end of the front end of the gel tank 1, also forming a rotatable connection with the gel tank 1. Through the arrangement of the coating roller 3 and the second guide roller 9, during use, it can support and guide the film 6 as it passes through the gel solution 2 in the gel tank 1. In the gel solution 2, the surface of the film 6 may experience certain tension changes and slight deformations due to the adhesion of the gel solution 2. The rotation of the second guide roller 9 can adapt to these changes, ensuring that the film 6 can continue to run smoothly and avoiding problems such as wrinkles or tears.

[0022] Furthermore, the dimensions of the first roller 4 and the second roller 9 are matched, while the dimensions of the coating roller 3 are larger than those of the first roller 4 and the second roller 9. Through the arrangement of the first roller 4, the second roller 9, and the coating roller 3, the dimensions of the first roller 4 and the second roller 9 match during use, ensuring consistent support and tension control for the film 6 as it passes through these rollers. When the film 6 transitions from one roller to another of the same size, there will be no sudden tension change due to differences in roller dimensions. This uniform tension control is crucial for ensuring the flatness of the film 6, especially during the coating process of the film 6 with the gel solution 2. It effectively prevents wrinkles or stretching deformation of the film 6, thus ensuring the uniformity of the gel coating. The coating roller 3, being larger than the first roller 4 and the second roller 9, plays a dominant role in the coating process of the film 6. Its larger size results in a relatively larger contact area between the coating roller 3 and the film 6, which helps to more evenly coat the gel solution 2 onto the film 6.

[0023] Furthermore, the placeholder slots 501 are positioned in the middle of the gel tank 1 and are slidably connected to it. Fifteen sets of placeholder slots 501 are continuously fitted together. Through the placement of the placeholder slots 501, the tanks, made of bent and welded stainless steel sheets, are large in volume but lightweight, with each placeholder weighing no more than 10kg. They are secured to the sides of the gel tank using clamps, and handles are designed on the tank for easy placement and removal. Without the placeholder slots, the total volume of the gel solution in the tank is V1 = 6 * 0.8 * 0.2 ≈ 1 m³, and the total volume of the 15 placeholder slots is V2 = 4.8 * 0.8 * 0.15 = 0.6 m³. After placing the placeholder slots, the volume of the gel solution is V3 = V1 - V2 = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4 m³. It can be seen that by using the placeholder slots, only 0.4 m³ of gel solution needs to be replaced each time the tank is cleaned, significantly reducing the amount of solution replaced compared to a 1 m³ tank.

[0024] Furthermore, the bonding plate 503 has a set of handles 504 and clamps 505 on each of the upper two sides of the slot 501. The handles 504 and clamps 505 are also located above each set of slots 501. This arrangement provides operators with convenient operating points. When it is necessary to remove or insert a slot 501, the operator can easily grasp and move it using the handles 504. Since the handles 504 are located above the slots 501, they are ergonomically designed, allowing operators to operate without bending over or using complex tools. Moreover, each slot 501 has an independent handle 504, enabling sequential operation when handling multiple slots 501, improving work efficiency. The clamps 505, located above each set of slots 501, facilitate installation and removal operations. When installing the spacer slot 501, the operator can easily align and secure the clamp 505 with the corresponding fixing position on the gel tank 1; during disassembly, the clamp 505 can be quickly released and the spacer slot 501 can be removed. This top-mounted design makes the operation process clearly visible, allowing the operator to easily monitor the status of the clamp 505 and ensuring the accuracy of installation and disassembly operations.

[0025] Furthermore, the occupant groove 501 is fixedly connected to the gel tank 1 via clamps 505, and the support plate 502 is located in the upper part of the occupant groove 501 and fixedly connected to it. Through the setting of the support plate 502, during use, the support plate 502 is located in the upper part of the occupant groove 501 and fixedly connected to it, which can provide the occupant groove 501 with effective anti-deformation ability. This support can extend the service life of the occupant groove 501, ensure the stability of its shape and size, and thus ensure its occupancy effect and normal function in the gel tank 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the film 6 slides and moves in the gel solution 2 via the coating roller 3, the first guide roller 4, and the second guide roller 9. The first guide roller 4 and the second guide roller 9 rotate as the film 6 moves. Through the arrangement of the coating roller 3, the first guide roller 4, and the second guide roller 9, this multi-roller guiding method provides a stable running path for the film 6 during use, which can prevent the film 6 from shifting left or right or floating up or down during operation, ensuring that the position of the film 6 in the gel solution 2 is relatively fixed, thereby facilitating the uniform coating of the gel solution 2 onto the film 6.

[0027] Working principle: When coating the film 6 is required, an appropriate amount of gel solution 2 is first injected into the gel tank 1. Then, the film 6 is introduced and sequentially adheres to the coating roller 3, the second roller 9, and the first roller 4. During this process, the coating roller 3, the second roller 9, and the first roller 4 will rotate as the film 6 moves, ensuring the film 6 runs smoothly. The film 6 contacts the gel solution 2 to achieve coating. At the same time, the extrusion coating head 7 can replenish the gel solution 2 through the coating liquid inlet 8 to maintain the coating operation. When it is necessary to change the solution or clean the gel tank 1, the operator can easily remove the placeholder 501 from the gel tank 1 using the handle 504. Since the placeholder 501 is made of stainless steel sheet bent and welded, it has the characteristics of being large in volume but light in weight, making it very convenient to pick up and put down. After removing the placeholder 501, only a small amount of gel solution 2 remaining in the gel tank 1 needs to be treated, which greatly reduces the waste of solution and subsequent processing costs, effectively improves the efficiency and economy of the coating process, and meets the needs of modern material coating technology for resource conservation and efficient production.
